Only France!

If Louis XIV heard that someone regarded France as a threat from the Ming Dynasty, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, but one thing is certain that being able to become an opponent or potential enemy of the Ming Dynasty is simply a kind of glory. After all, a country with such glory is really not worthy of it.

You are not worthy of a word!

Even France is not worthy now. Not worthy now does not mean that it is not worthy in the future.

"France?"

Zhu Youbin's eyebrows raised lightly, and his eyebrows were full of contempt.

Although he didn't say anything, his expression and attitude revealed his thoughts and were they worthy of it?

Indeed, France is not worth mentioning in terms of national strength alone. After all, the huge gap in strength between the two countries is there, and a discerning person can see the gap in strength between the two countries at a glance.

"They are not worth mentioning now, but what about fifty years, one hundred years, or even two hundred years later?"

Yu Ermei said in an extremely calm tone.

"The Ottomans may be powerful, but like all the countries of the Tianfang Cult, they reject progress and anything other than the Green Cult. They believe that violence is more than science. Compared with the Ottomans, France now may be weak, with a population of only 20 million, but it is the leader in Europe. In addition, they are willing to accept modern science. In the end, we are likely to face an enlightened great power. It is unknown what threat such a great power will bring to the Ming Dynasty, but for us, it is our greatest responsibility to not leave any harm to future generations."

Yu Ermei's explanation made Zhu Youbin suddenly realize the truth.

"You mean, France is another Goguryeo?"

Another Goguryeo!

More than ten years ago, Emperor Qiansheng wrote an article in person, redefining the actions of Emperor Yang of Sui to conquer Goguryeo in three attempts, and commenting on the national power and strength of Goguryeo, making the world realize that this regime that had occupied more than 200 years since the Murong family defeated during the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After destroying the Northern Yan regime of Feng family, it occupied more than 200 years. It made the world realize that it was a city that was mainly engaged in farming and built countless easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack on the mountain. It can be said that it was lush and deep-rooted. The country's permanent army was at least no less than 300,000. In addition, many ancient ethnic groups in the northeast, such as the ancestor of the Jurchens, the Muhe people, also became a subordinate of Goguryeo for a long time and was sent to him. Their troops may even exceed 600,000.

Unlike nomadic regimes that rely on the heaven to make a living, they are strong, and once the productivity is not maintained, they are prone to civil strife. As an agricultural country, Goguryeo's national strength is very stable, with a strict political system and high logistical support. Whenever there is a turmoil in the Central Plains regime, they will wait for an opportunity to move and gradually erode to the west to expand their strength, which is a huge potential threat, which is very fatal.

Faced with such a rising "regional power", when the Sui Dynasty ended the hundreds of years of separatist situation between the North and the South, it would inevitably be eradicated and destroyed such a huge threat, otherwise it would become a disaster for future generations and cause unimaginable remains to the Central Plains.

This is also the reason why the two dynasties, from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, continued to attack Goguryeo until they completely destroyed the country. When past historical books mentioned Yang Guang and Li Shimin's attack on Goguryeo were four big words "to be militant and marching", but they never asked about the deep reasons behind the attack.

"If the army is strong and the army is strong, will the emperors of the two dynasties be strong and the army is strong and the army is strong and the army is strong?"

After Emperor Gan Sheng asked a question, he said to the ministers.

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the disaster of the vassal states caused the Tang Dynasty to lose control of Liaodong, and the Khitan took the opportunity to rise. By the Five Dynasties, the Khitan had become a powerful country with a national strength not as strong as the Central Plains. Later, after the rise of Liao, Jin and Mongolia, all of them were China's troubles, and even led to the sinking of China. How could such a painful lesson be avoided? In our dynasty, the disaster of the rise of Jurchens was removed for only a few decades. Today, this matter was raised again to make the world warn and warn the people of Qin. The Qin people had no time to mourn themselves, and the later generations mourn them; the later generations mourn them but did not learn from them, which also made the later generations mourn their descendants again."

It was His Majesty's words that made the world understand why Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Yang of Sui fought for Goguryeo, which was nothing more than to end the trouble of descendants and to prevent China from the danger of destruction of its country.

Even that article is a "compulsory course" for all the royal families and civil servants and generals. The purpose is to let them understand a truth without leaving any troubles to China!

"Goguryeo?"

With a cold smile, Yu Ermei said.

"They are not worthy. Even in another three hundred years, they will not be able to threaten the Ming Dynasty's homeland, but they will definitely threaten the Ming Dynasty's interests in Europe. As the saying goes, "There is no two days." Since our Ming Dynasty entered Europe, we must establish an order that belongs to the Ming Dynasty here. In terms of potential, France is the only one who can influence this order."

Nodded slightly, Zhu Youbin agreed.

"So, do you want me to meet Kong Dai?"

"It is not to meet Kong Dai, but to support Kong Dai and support them to split France. A complete France is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty. For the interests of the Ming Dynasty, France must maintain division!"

Now there is no need for too much words, Zhu Youbin, who understands the profound meaning, agrees.

"This is the truth, but Kong Dai has been defeated now. And in the short term, we have no extra strength to support him."

Yu Ermei said with a smile.

"Condor may have been defeated, but as the leader of the French nobles, he received extremely wide support in France, at least the support of many nobles. The French king's policy of suppressing aristocrats has always been deeply opposed by the nobles. Prince Condor, who has the support of the nobles, is the best candidate for France to take care of himself. Of course, our goal is not to put France into a civil war, because the civil war will always end, but the division is persistent. What we need is a split France, perhaps..."

After thinking about it, Yu Ermei said.

"There can be two Frances in the world, one of Louis XIV and the other of Prince Condé. Of course, the latter will be enthroned by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

There can be two Frances in the world, and there is nothing wrong with that. For the Ming Dynasty, Paulanci's integrity has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. What the Ming Dynasty needs is a fragmented Europe, a Europe that will not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty.

This Europe must be divided and even war-torn. Only such Europe is in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty and the European policies of the Ming Dynasty.

"Two French..."

Zhu Youbin laughed loudly.
