Chapter 808 Louis’ “NATO” (Please subscribe!)

Author: Linjiangjun

Vauban was a famous French general, Bourbon military engineer, and army general.

Vauban once commanded a series of wars such as the War of Succession, the Franco-Dutch War, the War of Succession of the Electors of the Palatinate, and the War of Spanish Succession. He also commanded fifty-three siege battles and won all of them.

He also wrote masterpieces such as "On the Attack and Defense of Fortresses" and "Collected Essays on Fortress Building". He built more than 300 military fortresses in his lifetime.

Be a master city builder!

After taking back Bohemia, Vauban was appointed Marshal of the Empire by Louis XIV nearly ten years in advance.

In addition to the Kingdom of Bohemia, Louis XIV is also eyeing the appointment of the three archbishops of Mainz, Trier, and Cologne. He now has one vote from Bohemia, and with three more votes, he will have four votes. Now, as long as he wins over one more elector, he can control the entire Frankish Empire.

As a filial son of God, he sent French troops to help the three bishops resist the Ottoman Empire. Through a series of carrot and stick measures, Louis XIV also gained the power to appoint three archbishops while recovering the Kingdom of Bohemia. !

Why was Louis XIV so relaxed?

Because of the previous truce with the HRE, the Principality of Lorraine given away by France was once again controlled by Louis XIV.

There was no way, Leopold I had fallen, and there was no Pauline left.

Since Mainz, Trier, and Cologne are very close to the Principality of Lorraine, it is not easy to control them.

While recovering the Kingdom of Bohemia, Louis XIV was also fighting the Ottomans on the territory of the Principality of Austria. Louis did not want to recover Vienna. He simply wanted the territory in the west and north of Vienna.

In this way, Louis XIV became the Archduke of Austria, and most of Germany came under his command!

Western Europe has completely become Louis' territory.

The name is the North Atlantic Alliance.

Zhu Kezang thought for a while. Germany's predecessor was Prussia, and Prussia's predecessor was Brandenburg. If he formed a Ming-Ottoman-Brandenburg alliance, wouldn't it be a bit like the Allies?

By then, let alone regaining Vienna, even seizing Constantinople or even completely destroying the Ottoman Empire will be entirely possible.

However, current shipping technology is simply impossible to support such an intercontinental war.

His expansion has not stopped, and North Germany like Brandenburg has not yet been tamed. As long as North Germany is tamed, Louis will unite Poland, Rakshasa, Venice, and Spain to besiege the Ottomans.

Under the leadership of Louis, a new alliance was established, headed by France and composed of Poland, Rakshasa, Venice, Spain, Sweden and other countries.

Facing the legendary emperor of the East for the first time, Carl Christian was still quite nervous.

Soon, amid the shouts of "Your Majesty has arrived," I strode into the audience hall on the second floor of Wenhua Hall.

Seeing that Zhu Kezang had no intention of forming an alliance, Karl Christian continued to persuade in order to let the Ming Dynasty protect Brandenburg's independence.

Unless the Ming army personally comes to an end, the Ottomans will have a glimmer of hope.

Seeing Emperor Zhu striding towards him, Nalan Xingde, but not Ye Xingde, hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Ye Xingde, respectfully greets you."

Today, thanks to the dissemination of the former Governor of New Spain, Bartomeu, the theory of the Ming threat is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this "NATO" vaguely hopes to use it to deal with the rising Ming Dynasty.

But Louis didn't think so. He just wanted an alliance to prove his European hegemony.

Because the Ming Dynasty's consumption of population and supplies dropped significantly, Tianzhu had too many people to consume.

When Carl Christian heard this, he was not polite and sat down directly on a chair brought by two guards, and then carefully looked at Emperor Zhu Da on the throne.

You can poke Osman's anus at any time.

Thirty-year-old Zhu Kezang still looks so young and heroic. Thanks to Hercules' talent, he has maintained a very good figure.

It's just that the style of painting has begun to change a bit. Now Zhu Kezang has a big beard and looks a bit sinister.

"Your Majesty the Emperor," said Carl Christian, "you have been very successful in the direction of the New World. You have put the Spanish Empire, one of the two great empires in the West, into crisis at a very small cost, while in the Indian Ocean and Europe

, IMHO, the current advantage is on the side of Louis XIV and Kangxi Khan!"

Carl followed Ye Xingde's example and bowed, and said in the Minnan Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty that he had just learned: "Your Majesty, Carl Christian, respectfully wishes the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to be blessed!"

When Zhu Kezang arrived, it was almost three quarters past midnight, which was about four o'clock in the afternoon. After meeting the guests, he was just late.

Therefore, the decisive battle between Eastern and Western civilizations is not yet so fast!

Next to Ye Xingde was a man with a Western face.

Kangxi Khan's Tianzhu Empire has also been expanding and consolidating in recent years, and they have captured most of Persia.

This alliance replaced the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, which was ruined by Zhu Kezang.

Zhu Kezang simply took a shower, changed into clean clothes, took a group of palace guards and a bachelor attendant who could speak Latin, and rode a royal steam motorcycle in the Forbidden City to the newly renovated building.

Go to the new Wenhuadian building.

On the other side of Tianzhu, eastern Tianzhu and central Tianzhu belong to the Ming Dynasty, while southern Tianzhu belongs to France, Britain, and Portugal.

The audience hall is located in a large room facing south, with large windows made of small pieces of transparent plate glass, and with good lighting.

Zhu Kezang now has a lot of desire for Tianzhu.

"Stand flat, flat, give me a seat."

But in the far east, Zhu Kezang welcomed an unexpected guest.

It turned out that after sensing the ambition of Louis XIV, the Principality of Brandenburg did not intend to sit still and wait for death. They wanted to seek help from the Ming Dynasty.

His words were immediately translated into Latin by the bachelor attendant.

The last time Zhu Kezang devoted all his efforts to the war, he sent an expeditionary force of tens of thousands to America.

The Ming Dynasty has an advantage in military force. If we can find a piece of land now, and each side sends hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, the Ming Dynasty will definitely win!

It is basically impossible to send an expeditionary force of more than ten thousand people to Europe bypassing Africa or South America!

Similarly, it is impossible for Louis XIV to send a large army to the east of Malacca or to the east through South America and the Pacific Ocean.

Even if you go to all the trouble of sending thousands of people over, it will still be a loss of lives.

Karl Christian stumbled upon the request for alliance.

Zhu Kezang sat down on the throne and gave the two of them seats with a smile.

He was a missionary from the Duchy of Brandenburg, named Karl Christian.

The situation does not seem so optimistic.

To be honest, if we support Xiaobo with a wave of weapons, that's fine. We can't just sit back and watch France crush the Ottomans.

Zhu Kezang still had some favorable impressions of Brandenburg.

"Your Majesty the Emperor," Carl Christian said, "As far as I know, Emperor Louis the Great has been trying to form an alliance aimed at containing the Ming Dynasty, which may include the major Western powers including Spain, the Qing Mongolia, and the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Compete with Ming Dynasty in all aspects such as economy, politics, diplomacy, military and so on!"
