Chapter 469: Xia-Europe conflict (2)

469th Summer-Europe Conflict (2)

The Chinese people in the real world may see Lu Fan’s victory, and they may be shocked by the miracle that Lu Fan single-handedly singled out France, Netherlands, Prussia, Austria and other traditional European powers. But in the eyes of the people of the Wei Xia Empire, Lu Fan won this battle for granted, but it is strange to lose.

Since the great sailing opportunities of the Iberian Peninsula were blocked by the Vietnam and Weifans in the east-west direction, the only precious metals in the European countries have been flowing continuously to the old Kyushu of China, and the economic foundation is even poorer than before the Renaissance. The economy is dying and finances are scarce. Even if European countries are willing to open their eyes to see the world and introduce the latest military technology in time, expensive new-style troops cannot form scale effects. Even France at the same time in the real world has the ability to slam the four-nation alliance, let alone Lu Fan, who has stepped into the industrial revolution era?

Except for Wei Dongsheng, all the people of Fan Lu regarded Lu Fan's feat of single-handedly singled out the Four Nations Alliance of France as a trivial matter.

In the Chronicles of Lu Fan, this war was simply recorded as the Battle of Fulang.

Wei Dongsheng was very curious about the impact of the Battle of Valfrance on France and the European countries, and felt it necessary to travel to Europe.

After Wei He graduated from college, it took a year to earn enough pocket money, and Wei Dongsheng took the merchant ship westbound as quickly as possible.

In the spring of 1792, Wei Dongsheng arrived safely at Fulangcha Xinquan Port.

Wei Dongsheng's first impression of Xinquan Port was not that there were many indigenous people, but that the civil engineering project after another was full of wasteful images. Wei Fan has been operating Xinquan Port for a long time and the infrastructure is relatively complete. Although Lu Fan won a large colony in Finistère, Brittany, the Metropolitan Government still decided to use Xinxinquan Port as the seat of the Metropolitan Government and actively expand Xinquan. Outskirts of the port.

In fact, Xinquan Port was also Lu Fan's original goal.

Fan Lu's colony is rich in experience, and he knows that the first place to settle is the most difficult. The initial territorial ambitions are very small, and he only hopes that Francis will give Wu Fan a small colony close to Xinquan Port. Unexpectedly, Fan Lu’s troops encountered several kind-hearted abusers and were lucky to expand their achievements in time, earning half of the province of Finistère. But despite these accidents, Xinquan Port is ultimately Lu Fan's first goal.

Of course, Wei Fan was not happy for Lu Fan to compete in Xinquan Port.

But how could Lu Fan care about Wei Fan's opposition?

In other words, before the Fulangcha War, Lufan maritime merchants had established a chamber of commerce in Xinquan Port to compete with Weifan maritime merchants. With the industrial revolution gradually showing the power of swallowing the world, the trade share of Lu Fan maritime merchants increased. Before the Grand Alliance of Rebellion against Kings was disbanded, the Weifan Xinquan Harbor colony was jealous of the competition of Lu Fan maritime merchants and tried to take advantage of it. Political privilege limits Lu Fan's trade share. Fan Lu had long been dissatisfied with Wei Fan Xinquan Port. If Lu Fan had to work with Wei Fan to build an encirclement to contain the expansion of the imperial family, the Shandong West Kunlun colony and the Shandong Penglai colony even wanted to take the Wei Fan Xinquan Port colony by war.

After the Francha War ended, Lu Fan and Wei Fan launched a series of negotiations on the prospect of Xinquan Port. It is said that Wei Fan has compromised and is willing to transfer the nominal ownership of Xinquan Port to Fan Lu. The former Wei Fan Xinquan Port colony is attached to the Lu Fan Xinquan Port Dudu Mansion in the form of Weiquan Special Autonomous Region.

The geographical environment is here for the time being.

The human environment is relatively complicated.

The indirect influence of Wei Fan's interruption of the historical process of Portugal's great voyage is very far-reaching, and the New Spring Harbor colony has also induced many hidden worries that can be ignored in the real world.

For example, the faint Separation Movement in Brittany in the real world is suddenly several times more intense in this time and space.

Brittany was once the place where Britain and France competed. For a long time, it was completely independent. The language and culture were very different from the mainstream of France. After the Hundred Years' War between England and France, England gradually extinguished the idea of ​​advancing to the mainland, and France's influence on Brittany became deeper and deeper.

In 1499, Anna, Duchess of Brittany, married Louis XII, King of France.

In 1532, Brittany was incorporated into France as a dowry.

In the history of the real world, the Breton separatists have never been a climate, and have coexisted with France until the 21st century. But in this time and space, with the arrival of the Wei Fan and other Xia forces, the Breton separatists suddenly had their support, and they gathered in Xinquan Port one after another. The aforementioned abusers who are willing to help Lu Fan fight against Falanza are actually Breton separatists. They are hostile to France, hoping that Lu Fan will destroy France, and Brittany will take the opportunity to gain the long-lost freedom.

Lu Fan Xinquangang’s attitude towards the Breton separatists is cooperation and use.

Regardless of before or after the War of Française, the Metropolitan Government of Xinquan Port actively cooperated with the Breton separatists, and even approved the Breton separatists to establish an independent army of 500 people. At the same time, Lu Fan was very vigilant against the threat of Brittany. During the end of the War of Valencia, he did not hesitate to sell a group of the fiercest Breton separatists to King Louis XVI of Valencia.

Although the Breton separatists were pitted by Lu Fan time and time again, the Breton separatists were still willing to cooperate with Lu Fan. The reason is very simple. The Lu Fan Xinquangang Metropolitan Government clearly expressed its support for the independence of Brittany and acquiesced to the Breton separatists to insult the foreigners in the Xinquan Harbor Metropolitan Government as much as possible, while the Frantz King Louis XVI never Allow Brittany to escape his control.

Speaking of Louis XVI, Wei Dongsheng couldn't help but think of the French Revolution in the real world.

The French Revolution broke out in 1789.

Wei Dongsheng arrived in Xinquan Port in 1792. If history remains the same, the French civil revolution should be in full swing, and the First French Republic is ready to go.

Unfortunately, the Wei Xia Empire has interrupted the process of European asset revolution. The bourgeois revolution is a drastic change in the relations of production. Even if it does not have a close functional relationship with productivity, the level of productivity is also one of the necessary conditions. Without the basic productive forces, the British bourgeois revolution cannot be talked about, and the French bourgeois revolution will naturally not fade. Since England in this time and space did not have Cromwell, the protector of the country, it may be difficult for France to give Napoleon a stage to display his talents.

Tracking Napoleon's recent situation, the answer is exactly as Wei Dongsheng expected.

Corsica, the birthplace of Napoleon, is not even French territory at this moment. Perhaps some factors have dragged down the historical process of Corsica. Eight years ago, in 1784, on the eve of the outbreak of the War of Franca, Corsica broke away from Genoa's control and hurriedly established an independent regime. Not long after Corsica became independent, and to be precise, the War of Valencia had not yet ended, the various factions in Corsica began to fight fiercely over power ownership. It is a pity that Napoleon’s military and political talents were not present in Little Corsica. Until 1792, Corsica was still in a state of melee.

The geographical environment and cultural environment are now introduced.

What can Wei Dongsheng do?

When it comes to the future of travel in Europe, you must either do business or cooperate with Lu Fan Xinquangang Dudufu.

Wei Dongsheng first investigated the business route and found that the bulk trade of tea, porcelain, etc. was basically monopolized by the government and merchants of Wei Fan and Lu Fan.

Wei Fan has been operating in Xinquan Port for a long time, and the tastes and tastes of the people in Fulangcha gradually become Fujianese. Speaking of tea, Fulang chased the upper class with iron heart for brands such as Anxi Tieguanyin, Wuyi Dahongpao, Fuzhou jasmine tea, and Lu Fan’s monopoly of Laoshan green tea, Xinyang Maojian, green peony and other products, it is difficult to be in Fulang. When it comes to porcelain, Fulangcha and even the nobles of European countries only recognize the porcelain of Jingdezhen style in the Jiangxi province of the royal family. Lu Fan had a bad relationship with the royal family, and he had no advantage in competing with Wei Fan for local specialties. He could only use the advantages of the Industrial Revolution to open up new markets. Traditional bulk commodities such as tea and porcelain were monopolized by the official merchants of the Wei Fan; the bulk commodities such as cloth and ironware were all monopolized by the official merchants of the Lu Fan with profound background.

Small businessmen with no background, or casual businessmen, either work hard to make a lot of money, or make quick money by crooked ways. Addictive products such as Tianzhu's specialty lotus cream, Dashi specialty tea, and industrial products, such as hemp-fruit, have been smuggled to Xinquan Port continuously.

Wei Dongsheng is unwilling to sell lotus ointment to make huge profits, nor is he willing to witness history as a pure businessman.

After thinking about it, Wei Dongsheng simply joined the Xinquangang Dudu Mansion to witness the changes in the European countries.

Let's talk about Fulangcha and other countries.

It is completely different from the Manchu and Qing Dynasty, which did nothing after a crow. The Falanza War had just ended, and the European countries actively started the European version of the Westernization Movement.

Fulanza and Familiar are the leaders. They translate Zhuxia's technical achievements in batches, attract investment and establish various manufacturing bureaus. Falangcha was the victim of the Falangcha War. Not only did the coastal towns be bombarded by the Lu Fan fleet, but he also had to pay 16 million Lu Yuan in compensation for the eight-year war. França’s financial income is limited, and Lu Fan’s bankers are unwilling to recklessly provide loans. Naturally, his country’s foreignization movement investment promotion plan is difficult to implement. Knowing Elia is different. It is not dragged down by war indemnities, and the Westernization Movement quickly developed.

It's a pity that fast is not good.

When Elia tried to carry out land reform to adapt to capitalism, all aspects of contradictions suddenly began to intensify. Irish separatism, Scottish separatism, Welsh separatism, and Cornish separatism rushed to challenge the psychological bottom line of the Elia royal family.

Fan Lu's new Quangang Dudu Mansion is not even a good gentleman. The New Spring Harbor Metropolitan Government took advantage of his illness to threaten the troubled Elia. At the moment of embarrassment inside and outside Elia, he sailed out of London and finally forced Elia to cede Gibraltar and sign the terms of trade.

In 1795, Elia transferred the Strait of Gibraltar that you had (Spain) from the west to Lu Fan, and the Strait of Gibraltar became Lu Fan's possession.

In 1797, Fan Lu took the Strait of Gibraltar as a starting point and Yang Fan went north, actively intervening in the civil strife in Corsica, and eventually became the protectorate of Corsica.

In Corsica, Wei Dongsheng came across Napoleon who was accustomed to spelling Italian. Without the French stage, without the opportunity of the French Revolution, this famous prairie lion in the real world still did nothing until 1797.
