Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 323

The time has come to the fifth year of Guangfu, July 1795 AD.

Daming, Zhongdu.

The weather is gradually getting hotter.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua, son of the Ming Dynasty, did not work in the Zhongdu Palace where the air conditions were getting worse.

The south bank of the central capital is an industrial area.

As soon as the southeast wind blew, all kinds of exhaust gas were blown into the palace.

Therefore, these days, Emperor Zhu moved to work in the summer palace in Jiangbei
This is a rich area that has been developed.

Many nobles and rich families of the Ming Dynasty have set up mansions here, which is next to the palace of the Son of Heaven.

Although this real estate is some distance away from the core city of Zhongdu.

But the price is not low-who let this place be the neighbor of the emperor.

Therefore, Emperor Zhu's Daming imperial consortium made a lot of money by selling houses.

It made the cabinet very greedy.

This Daming imperial consortium is almost becoming the shadow government of Ming Dynasty.

Leading the development of Ming's industrialization, becoming the leading goose that plays an important role in Ming's economy.

But even though the eyes are greedy, the Ming Dynasty ruled the country with rites, the imperial court belonged to the imperial court, and the emperor's belonged to the emperor.

It is very clear.

Emperor Zhu never directly linked the treasury with his own internal funds.

Even if he supports the treasury, he supports it by purchasing low-interest government bonds-this will all have to be repaid in the future.

There are not many emperors in history who divided the court and their own money so clearly.
Jiangbei Palace, Imperial Office.

In the center of the office is a large refrigerator.

It's a real refrigerator.

The cool air from the huge ice blocks dispelled the heat.

Cool down the whole office.

Emperor Zhu was sitting in front of the large desk, with short-sighted glasses produced by the Jiangnan Glasses Factory hanging on his eyes, wearing a cotton short-sleeve, and staring at a report from Europe.

Due to the poor communication conditions of this era.

Every half a month, the Consulate General of Ming Dynasty in Europe will send a fast boat to collect news from Europe and return.

It took the Mediterranean Sea to reach Egypt, and then passed through the Isthmus of Suez on a fast horse, and changed to a fast boat at the mouth of the Red Sea to return.

This trip will take a month and a half.

This means that the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and France is good. The Isthmus of Suez and the Egyptian region are now French territory. In addition, the Ming Indian Ocean Fleet firmly controls the sea power in the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea and other waters. For the African continent, the trip would take at least three months.

and so.

When European intelligence was on Emperor Zhu's table.

It all happened a month and a half ago.

Even so, Emperor Zhu still put the European intelligence sent every two weeks as the most important thing.

It takes him a day to digest the news from Europe, and make corresponding instructions, and then send it to Europe by Clippers.

Of course.

Many of Emperor Zhu's instructions were not mandatory. It was impossible for him to make micro-operations like ordering the machine gunner to move forward 15 meters from thousands of miles away.

He can't do it either.

Many of his instructions are principled suggestions.

Because it takes at least three months for a back-and-forth communication between the East and the West.

He must give full authority to Ming diplomats stationed in Europe.

The news that came today is astonishing.

"Your Majesty, the first important news is that the Anti-French Alliance and the French Republic fought in the Somme River. The two sides invested 10,000+ troops in a fierce battle. In the end, the French army won a big victory. The French army led by Jia Guogong wiped out 13 Anti-French Alliance troops. The German area into which the French army has entered in a large scale."

The one who was speaking was Luo Jinyue, who had been the secretary of Emperor Zhu for a year and a half.

He said, and handed the memorial in his hand to Emperor Zhu.

Emperor Zhu watched carefully with his glasses on.

There was a solemn look on his face.

This is a public battle report, but it is a summary of information from all parties, and it is highly credible.

Although the 13 anti-French coalition troops were annihilated is the speculation of the Ming Consulate General in Europe.

But at least it proves that the crime alliance has indeed suffered a heavy loss!
Victory for the French Republic!

This is very different from history.

in history.

The Anti-French Coalition fought against France for nearly 20 years.

The League of the First Crime was only defeated by Napoleon's Grand Army in 1797.

And when is now.

If the intelligence is accurate, the anti-French coalition has been annihilated by 13 troops
Will there be a second anti-French coalition?
Do European countries still have the courage to continue to organize anti-French alliances?

Emperor Zhu frowned, and he was slightly relieved when he saw the specific casualties of various countries.

Among the 13 troops, the [-] troops of the Holy Roman Empire accounted for the majority.

It turned out that the idiot Franz II had lost the most.

Emperor Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the Holy Roman Empire is crippled, it's no big deal.

As long as Britain can still struggle, they can continue to form an anti-French alliance.

It is absolutely impossible for Britain to sit back and watch a great power emerge on the European continent.

from this angle.
It seems that Ming's assistance to France is a little too much.
However, Napoleon had experienced wars in the East, and his use of Ming-style weapons far surpassed those generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it is normal for the army he led to easily defeat those European armies with old-fashioned equipment and old-fashioned tactics.

but.

He can win on the battlefield.

Politically, it seems a little immature.
News from Europe shows.

After achieving an unprecedented victory at the Battle of the Somme.

Napoleon, the commander-in-chief of the French army, gained unprecedented prestige, and thus was feared by the top of the French National Assembly.

When Napoleon mainly continued to march and completely disabled Austria.

The French National Assembly passed a resolution calling for the withdrawal of troops and sending Napoleon to Egypt to quell the rebellion in the colonies.

Thus.
History seems to be starting to come back again.

This is a fascinating historical inertia.
Emperor Zhu let go of the French situation.

Another big event happened in Europe more than a month ago.

There was a coup in Moscow.

The Tsar of the Russian Empire has changed.

The Russian Crown Prince Petrovich led an army equipped with Ming-style equipment brought back from the East, and launched a coup in Moscow. The Russian army, which was defeated and returned from the East, easily defeated Empress Catherine's embargo. Guards.

In the midst of the conflict, a fire broke out in the Kremlin.

Shouting "Don't kill my mother," Petrovich rushed into the palace.

In the end, Yekaterina was not found.

I don't know how to hide such a fat body.

In short.

The end result was that Petrovich took control of Moscow and soon won the allegiance of troops and nobles from all over the Russian Empire.

Became the new Tsar of Russia.
