Xinshun 1730

Chapter 819

This time is not the hereafter.

For example, Tian Zhenyi sighed in "The History of the Female Immortals": Women like Lv Hou and Wu Yan can only display some political talents by relying on men in this era.

In the situation that France is now facing, the alliance with Prussia is obviously impossible.

Satisfied, Prussia obtained Silesia and was recognized by Britain, the Netherlands and other countries.Prussia itself was exhausted from fighting, and was busy digesting Silesia.

Now if Prussia once again forms an alliance with France, it will be the real Prussia selling its kidneys to aid France, and even if Prussia itself collapses, it will achieve France's war goals.

However, courts all over Europe now know that the dragon-slaying young man who wrote "Anti-Machiavellianism" is now a standard Machiavellian, how could he sell his kidneys to aid the law?
If the fight continues, what role can she play?How can the king recognize that she is talented?

War, politics, diplomacy, policy, economy... some can be influenced by women blowing pillow wind, and some cannot.

Under the condition that the Marquis de Pompadour confirmed that she could not mediate Franco-Prussia to form a third alliance, if Louis XV chooses to continue the war of Austrian succession, or even stud, what can the Marquis de Pompadour do? ?

At that time, if it is Stud, what does Louis XV need?
It takes a naval genius who can lead the French navy and wipe out the British fleet.

A land-war genius is needed to assist the minor usurper, fighting all the way from Scotland to London.

but.

War is precisely the place where women can exert the least influence.

Marquis de Pompadour, not Mu Guiying.

It wasn't Qin Liangyu either.

It's not even good for women.

She could neither lead the navy to wipe out the British fleet, nor command the Scottish army to attack London, let alone command the French army to attack the Netherlands.

So, if the fight continues, does she have any chance to "show her talent"?
No.

Once a war breaks out, and diplomacy has been locked and cannot be changed, there will be almost no chance for her to show her ability as a woman.

But what if there was a truce now?

That's different.

After all, she is a member of the court, not a member of the cabinet, an internal minister rather than a foreign minister.

And Louis XV formed the "secret du roi", a foreign intelligence strategic agency directly under the king.She cannot participate in the affairs of the cabinet, but can participate in the "secret du roi".

If there is a truce now, the institution "secret du roi" will have room to play.

The truce is only the beginning.

Follow-up to build good relations with Austria, build good relations with Russia, drive a wedge between Russia and the United Kingdom, and marry the Russian Empress and Austrian Queen Shinra, there is room for her, the Marquis, to play here.

The purpose of Louis XV's establishment of the "Military Aircraft Department" was to dominate the diplomatic power, prevent the cabinet from getting involved, and isolate the cabinet's influence.

The second is for the sake of "unpredictable king's mind", to stay on top and control the cabinet party struggle.A monarch, especially when he is going to condescend to control party disputes, does not like people in the cabinet to guess the emperor's true thoughts.

Before Marie Naylor, she was supported by the third Duke of Richelieu. In Dashun, this was called "collusion between the harem and foreign ministers", a serious crime; in France, it was not a big deal.

Since the Marquis of Pompadour can participate in the "Military Aircraft Department", and she is also the leader of the small diplomatic circle controlled by the king himself, she can know the king's mind better than those ministers in the cabinet.

Knowing the king's mind in advance, you can contact the ministers of the cabinet to support some people so that they can follow the king's mind.

In this way, the purpose of the king can be achieved.

She can also contact some cabinet ministers to expand her influence.

At the same time, you can also show your talents in the subsequent diplomacy and achieve political achievements no less than Mary Naylor's second Franco-Prussian alliance.

If, the follow-up France-Austria alliance and France-Russia alliance will have her help.

So, isn't her position stable?
Even if she gets old and frail in the future, she can still be the king's confidante, the king's confidant, and the king's female adviser.

This, regardless of age, can gain long-term trust.

For example, a certain marquis or duke wants to gain the king's trust, but he doesn't know how to follow the king's wishes.At this time, the Marquis de Pompadour, as the king's pillow, quietly told the Duke or Marquis that the king actually wanted to ally with Austria.

Then, the duke or marquis would know what the king was thinking, and would put forward an opinion that satisfied the king.The king saw it, hey, this kid is capable and capable, let's join the cabinet.

Such and such, such and such, for the Marquis of Pompadour, it is naturally the expansion of her own political power and influence.

At the same time, the Marquis de Pompadour had a certain understanding of Louis XV.

To use the saying of later generations, Louis XV is actually "a man who is addicted to food".

The prime minister is abolished, and the post of prime minister is no longer established, provided that the ability is sufficient.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, he has such abilities; but if his level is at most that of Zhu Yunqi, and his personality is still the kind of person who thinks he is fierce and ready to do everything by himself, then there will be problems.

You have enough skills, it's nothing to abolish the prime minister.

In order to seize power, the king set up the "secret du roi" military aircraft department, but what about the king's level?
War, fighting, politics, economy, trade, diplomacy... In fact, nothing is too high level.

If you fight like Frederick II, have politics like Queen Elizabeth, have diplomacy like Queen Theresa, and have strategic awareness like William Pitt...it would be good to grasp it, and you don't need a "confidante friend" to advise you.

In reality, if you don’t say that Louis XV is nothing, at least there is nothing wrong with saying that it is common and ordinary.

If the war is ceased now, prepare for another fight in the future.

Then, to contact Austria and Russia diplomatically; carry out military reforms in the military; change the harsh Korber policy in trade; reverse the sluggish business of France economically...and so on, these issues will make the king burnt out.

If there is no prime minister, and if you want to be arbitrarily powerful and have no ability, then you must come to women to find comfort and an answer.

What the Marquis de Pompadour thinks she has the ability to do is to be a woman who can mediate the relationship between Austria and Russia, that is, the "secret du roi" who happens to be a small circle in the inner court.

As for military, trade, economics, etc., she attends salons in Paris all day long. She can ask others if she doesn't understand, and if she doesn't know how, she can recommend others.

In this way, wouldn't his position be more stable?
The premise for her to plan this way is that Louis 15 has a big food addiction, but he doesn't know that he has a big food addiction.

If Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shimin and the like are of the same level, even if the prime minister is abolished, do you need to ask women what to do when it comes to military affairs?

At most, it is because the courtiers directly remonstrated, complained after returning home, and the women just persuaded Deren and other issues.

People in Dashun can imagine Zhu Yuanzhang asking Empress Ma how to deal with taxes and military registration in the whole country; what should be done about the relationship between Ming Dynasty and neighboring countries?

Therefore, under this premise and reality, the most beneficial policy for her and the Marquis de Pompadour is to cease fighting now and prepare for the next war.

Unless, she can either be Joan of Arc to lead the French army invincible, or she can persuade Prussia to go to war again for the benefit of France.

Since nothing can be done, it is meaningless for this situation to continue.

Her strengths, or what she can do, are in diplomacy, economics and other matters, and definitely not in the war where Stud gambled on the fate of the country.

The character of Louis XV is actually easy to understand.

Lack of love, especially the lack of family love and maternal love in childhood, often leads to a seemingly deformed, distorted, and contradictory psychology.

On the one hand, I am extremely eager for the approval of others, because since childhood, no parents have praised you unconditionally and without desire from the perspective of parents.

It's governesses, tough teachers and the like who hold you to extremely high standards.

If your grades improve, your performance is good, and they meet their wishes, they will praise you and encourage you.

And if the performance is not good or bad, I will reprimand you.

But real parents should not be like this. Real parents should be when you were young, whether you peed and played with mud or made clay sculptures, you would praise my son for being so beautiful.

So Louis XV was desperate for praise, understanding, support, and praise from others.

He is not confident, pays too much attention to other people's evaluations, and even has an almost pathological flattering personality.

As the king of a country, the manifestation of this extreme desire for others' approval is to hope that he can accomplish something without relying on the help of others.

Let me ask you to see, am I good or not?Am I strong?

I didn't have anyone's help, I didn't have anyone's advice, and I still got a lot of things done.

Come and praise me!
Come and praise me!
Don't say I'm bad, don't say I'm not good, don't reprimand me for doing something wrong like I did when I was a child!
Don't force me to be like when I was a child, hiding my true inner thoughts from the age of seven or eight.You ministers, guardians, and tutors, I can only say what you like to hear, otherwise you will reprimand me if you are not happy.

Now, I grow up!
I'm doing great!
I am powerful!

Praise me!Praise me!
I didn't make it on your advice.I rely on my own opinions. You may disagree with, disapprove, or oppose my opinions, but I still made it!
Prove what?Prove me right and you guys wrong!

You are wrong, you are wrong, when I was young you scolded me so much, but in the end you scolded me not because I was wrong, but because you were wrong, so in your eyes, what is right is wrong.

On the other hand, this kind of person has a very special requirement for a sexual partner.

First of all, in a pure relationship between the sexes, the partner is required to be motherly, so that he can feel the charm of a mother, preferably someone else's wife, so that there will be a special, perverted pleasure in London: I get The mother I wanted most!
I can ask her whether she likes her husband or me?
Looking at other people's babies and my own women who have just given birth, I can't express my love.

You can ask, how did my "mother" come to do those things with her husband...

Secondly, the perverted craving for approval from outsiders turned into a child-like attachment to his mother in front of the woman he longed for.

For outsiders, he is afraid of being looked down upon by others, afraid of being looked down upon by others, and afraid of being humiliated by others.So what I have to do is not to ask others, not to ask others, to do my own way, and I have to do a good job, so that you can admire me, respect me, think that I am powerful, I am awesome, and I am very strong.

The person who opens his heart to himself is like a child: he likes to lie on other people's knees and laps, and be gently touched by the most trustworthy, mother-like person.

Then I was asked: Why are you unhappy.Why are you unhappy?
After she said it, the woman gave some suggestions with the attitude of a mother towards her children.

Give him a feeling: This woman is not only my lover, but also my mother, and my best friend, and the person who appreciates me the most, and the person who can help me out of the predicament and give me advice.

is my closest person.

When outsiders give me advice, they humiliate me, distrust me, and look down on me.I don't need your advice, I want to use my own judgment to tell you that you are all wrong and I am right!

The people closest to me give me advice, that is to treat me well, for me, to love me like a best friend, a mother, or a lover.

This kind of mentality is incomprehensible to ordinary, normal, non-perverted, inexperienced, and childhood love people.

It's just...disgusting.

But these women around him can actually understand.

Let's not talk about the Marquis de Pompadour in front of me, but Madame Dubari behind.

Who is that person?That's a courtesan in Paris, from the 70-[-]-year-old third-generation Duke Richelieu to the [-]-year-old barber at the bottom, what kind of people with handles have you never seen?What kind of twisted mind does not understand?Isn't it as easy to play as high-ranking green tea playing with innocent boys?

The Marquise de Pompadour in front of me is even more incompetent than the later Madame du Barry who slept half of Paris and became famous.

She had made a perfect plan for herself before she got married.

Married because her husband's family, a financier in Paris, would allow her to enter the upper class.

Only those who belong to the upper class and have money from their husband's family can participate in salons, gatherings of enlightened scholars, and salons of nobles, and raise their own social status.

Only by improving your social status can you have the opportunity to "encounter" the king and become the king's lover.

This is called gold plating for your own thing.

Although this is very straightforward and ugly, it is actually the case.

In the salon, talking and laughing happily with Voltaire, Montesquieu and others, is that something ordinary people can do?
Dashun is not without such people. The former baron who surrendered to the barbarians, the godson and adopted son of the captured Peter the Great, black Hannibal, was able to chat and laugh with a lot of people in the upper class of Paris. What did he rely on?
Relying on the fact that he was Peter's night secretary and the adopted son of Peter the Great, because he was afraid of taking a boat, Peter granted favors to people who would not go back to Petersburg by boat by land.

According to the normal route, the French captain who graduated from the military academy went to the battlefield to experience the process of being a guaranteed major and being promoted to a lieutenant general in his forties.

You can't look down on the lieutenant general, and think that's all there is to it, little man.

In France, it is the ministers of some non-essential departments in later generations, who belong to the level where small meetings are not qualified and the general assembly must go.But you can't look down on "Xiaohui is not qualified", because there are not many qualified people in Xiaohui.

In Russia, first-class and second-class civil servants need hard work and luck, but third-class civil servants are the bottom line.What is a third-class civil servant?Intuitively, the president of Moscow University, the governor of Novgorod Province, Astrakhan Province, Astrakhan Province, Kazan Province, and the Governor of Latvia, Estonia...

Put it in Dashun, that is, officials at the level of Jidu envoys of various provinces and Guozijian Jijiu.

Or, more bluntly, members of the Privy Council, but not members of the Standing Council.

Say low?It is true that he has not reached the core decision-making level. Compared with the six government ministers and the 23 princes who founded the country, it is a bit worse.

But, but to say that this is not the upper class... that would be an understatement.

Members of the Privy Council are not considered upper circles, so what is an upper circle?

A woman, a woman whose parents don't even know who she is, who can get mixed up in such a circle, talking and laughing happily, can't be a white lotus after all.

Looking at a man like Louis XV, one can see the bottom line at a glance, knowing what he likes and pursues in terms of the opposite sex.

After all, kings are human.

Rather than the rational philosopher-king, the personification of pure state sovereignty.Or it is the incarnation of the country in a game of a certain society in later generations.

Now that he understands the character of the king and knows that it is impossible for Prussia to sign the third Franco-Prussian alliance treaty, then Dashun's strategic proposal... does not need to consider the interests of the French community, but only considers itself, which is the most beneficial.

Not for distant China, but for herself.
