Vienna, Embassy of the Ming Dynasty in the Austrian Empire.
There was a long conference table in the hall of the embassy. On both sides of the conference table were negotiators from the Ming Empire and the British Empire. As the intermediary, Austrian Prime Minister Metternich sat at the head of the conference table and spoke very enthusiastically.
Make mud for both sides.
"Your Highness the Prince, Your Excellency the Duke, I don't understand why you two are arguing over this barren land of Australia? Isn't India the crown jewel of the British Empire? You have reached a consensus on the Indian issue, and the British Empire's
The future queen will also become the wife of King Lu of Ming Dynasty. This means that the crown of the British Empire will be transferred to the Zhu Ming Dynasty after the Hanoverian Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty and Great Britain will become a true brotherly country! This will mean an eternal world
Peace and eternal international order.”
Prime Minister Metternich seemed both excited and anxious when he spoke. The excitement was probably because the giants of the two worlds, Great Britain and Ming Dynasty, were finally shaking hands and making peace, and even turning their hostility into relatives. For the Austrian Empire, which was looking forward to the eternal world order.
As far as rulers are concerned, it is undoubtedly the most ideal for the British and Ming Dynasties to unite (of course with the Ming Dynasty as the main body) to rule the world.
And anxious. Probably because Prime Minister Metternich is impatient? Otherwise, why would he be anxious? Although the Ming Dynasty and Great Britain are still entangled over the ownership of Australia. But in fact, the differences between the two sides are not big. For Britain,
, they have generally preserved "India, the jewel in the Queen's crown", while Australia is just a place where criminals are exiled, and it would be no pity to lose it. As for the Zhu Ming Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, they have already obtained the Queen herself! And
What are you dissatisfied with?
Therefore, the peace agreement between Great Britain and Ming Dynasty should be finally reached. Maybe it will take a few more years to negotiate. After all, Princess Victoria is only 13 years old and not yet ready to get married, and the current King of England is still William IV. Wait.
In the past few years, Princess Victoria has grown up and become the Queen of England and the Empress of India. It is not too late for the two sides to complete peace negotiations!
The Duke of Wellington just shook his head and said: "No, no, we cannot lose Australia. It is a large continent. Although it is a barren land, there must be many rich resources there, which are the wealth of the United Kingdom.
.And in the UK, the king and queen are not actually the masters of the country. The real masters of the country are the British people."
While the Duke of Wellington was talking endlessly about the reasons why the British Empire could not abandon Australia, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked open with a "bang". The Duke was stunned for a moment, stopped speaking, and turned around to see a
A white man in a tuxedo, who seemed to be Prime Minister Metternich's secretary, ran in from the outside quickly, came to Metternich's side and handed him a note.
Metternich frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with his subordinate's impoliteness. Just when he was about to scold him, the man said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, something big has happened."
Metternich's brows furrowed even more tightly now. He took the piece of paper and took a look at it. He suddenly looked like his eyes were about to pop out and stood up from his chair suddenly: "What? What's going on?
possible?"
At this time, the high-level officials of Ming Dynasty and Great Britain were stunned and had no intention of continuing to bargain. They all looked at Metternich with curious eyes.
"What happened?" Zhuge Weijiu, a veteran, asked, shaking his goose feather fan.
"That man." Metternich's voice was trembling as he spoke, "That man's son escaped from Schonbrunn Palace!"
"That man's son, the King of Rome?" Zhuge Weijiu was also shocked when he heard this, "Mei Zhongtang, are you saying that the son of Emperor Napoleon escaped from Schonbrunn Palace?"
The Duke of Wellington also jumped up from his chair, looking as if he was about to jump onto the table in surprise: "This, this, how is this possible? Isn't he seriously ill, suffering from tuberculosis, and about to die? How can he still do this?
Can you escape?"
Metternich also looked like he was about to drop his jaw in shock: "Yes, the doctor said that he had tuberculosis and was about to die, and the tuberculosis was also passed from person to person, so he arranged a separate and secluded small house for him to rest.
A few days ago, the doctor said that he was about to die, so His Majesty the Emperor called his mother over from Italy and wanted them to see her one last time. But she ran away!"
"Fooled!" Zhuge Weijiu stamped his feet, "Little Napoleon must be pretending to be ill. Maybe the doctors who treated him are Bonapartists. In recent years, the Bonapartists and republicans in Europe are really
There are more and more, and you are too careless!"
It is now January 1832.
In another timeline, the 1830 revolution in Europe had been suppressed by Nicholas I, the European gendarme! But in this timeline, because of the dark clouds of the world war, and because of the confrontation between Britain and Ming Dynasty, "
The "Fear of the Yellow Peril" suppressed the revolutionary sentiments in European countries to a certain extent. Both 1830 and 1831 passed safely.
But this does not mean that the revolutionary risks in European countries have been eliminated. In fact, the revolutionary risks in European countries are much more serious now than in the same period on another timeline.
On the one hand, it is because the entire process of industrialization has been accelerated, which also means that the pain caused by industrialization has also been condensed. On the other hand, the decades after the second industrial revolution were the most turbulent in history.
The bloodiest, and certainly the most progressive period! Not only did two world wars break out, but revolutionary storms also swept across the world time and time again.
How could it not be possible now?
On the other hand, Europe is not the leader of industrialization on this timeline, but a pursuer! The biggest dividends of the two industrial revolutions went to the Ming Dynasty. Europe only has the old books of the Age of Discovery to gnaw on. So the Ming Dynasty can give China
The lower class can share some oil and water in exchange for peace, but in Europe, except for the United Kingdom, no one else can get anything if they want to.
As a loser in the Napoleonic Wars, France lost all the patrimony accumulated during the Age of Discovery. In the hands of Louis XVII, it still had to engage in industrialization to catch up with Britain.
The pain of the middle and lower class people can be imagined!
And Louis XVII inherited his mother's love of luxury. After he got some money, he restored the Palace of Versailles and led a group of old French nobles to live a luxurious life again, just like the Louis XIV empire had returned.
It's like appearing in the human world.
"Great, Napoleon is here!"
This was the headline on the front page of France’s largest-circulation newspaper, Le National, on January 10, 1832!
Although the news of Napoleon II's escape from Schönbrunn Palace had just returned to France at this time, the editors of "National", who had long been disgusted with the dark rule of the Bourbon dynasty and hoped to change and make France great again, called out most of France.
The voice of people.
What is even more detrimental to the Bourbons is that such a headline can actually pass the press censorship of the French government!
When the National newspaper published the news "Great, Napoleon is here!" appeared on the streets of Paris, the capital of the Kingdom of France was instantly ignited like a pile of dry wood encountering a raging fire.
That morning, thousands of veterans of the Napoleonic era put on the military uniforms they had treasured for more than ten years, held high the tricolor flag symbolizing the French Republic, took to the streets of Paris, and sang "Marseillaise" to the city of Paris.
Center of the Louvre and Tuileries Palace.
Duke Richelieu, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of France who stayed in Paris during Louis XVII's foreign visit, knew that something was wrong and immediately ordered the army to suppress it. However, when the French army saw the tricolor flag symbolizing the Republic, they heard the exciting "Marseille"
When "Qu", no one wanted to fight for the Bourbon dynasty.
However, they did not defect immediately, but confronted their predecessors in front of the Louvre and the Tuileries Palace. After all, the protagonist had not yet appeared, and they could not finish the play.
