Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 923 Unwilling to be Lonely
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, Europe was actually undergoing great changes!
First of all, the period from 1618 to 1648 was the famous 30 Years War in history.

A large-scale melee among European countries evolved from the civil war of the Holy Roman Empire, and it was also the first all-European war in history.In the end, it ended with the defeat of the Habsburg dynasty and the signing of the "Peace of Westphalia".

In this war, an estimated 800 million people died, most of them in the Holy Roman Empire.The result of the war was the split of the Holy Roman Empire, the former overlord Spain began to weaken, France and Sweden began to rise, and the Netherlands and Portugal began to become independent.

At the end of the 30-year war, although France began to rise, it then started a new round of war with Spain, known as the Franco-Spanish War in history.

If in the original history, this war would last for 11 years, it would not end until 1659.

However, under the instigation of Emperor Chongzhen's butterfly wings, although it did not affect the Thirty Years War, it eventually affected the Franco-Spanish War.

The thing is this: During the 30 Years War, France participated in the war, and it also ran out of money.Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the war, Prime Minister Mazarin borrowed money from the rich, and allowed them to collect taxes and collect the country's income in exchange.

Needless to say, how could these rich people suffer a loss? Of course, they took advantage of this opportunity to exploit the people as much as possible to make a lot of money.

At this time, France began to fight with Spain again, which cost money again, so those rich people who lent money to the prime minister continued to exploit.In this case, one conclusion can be clearly drawn: the government forced the people to rebel.

Eventually, the French began to rebel, known to history as the Fronde movement.

You know, this is when the French were at war with Spain, and civil strife broke out on the other side.

Just during this period, Li Zicheng and others who were sold to France by the Dutch witnessed the chaos.

At the beginning, they were newcomers, and this was still a foreign land, even the language was different. Therefore, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others were dormant, secretly watching all this.

In the 25th year of Chongzhen, that is, in 1652, they saw that the peasant uprising was about to be suppressed, and they finally couldn't help but move.

At this time, Prince Condé of France led the Spanish army to the vicinity of Paris, but he was stopped by the famous French general Turenne, and the rebels of Prince Condé were contained with successive victories.

If the original history develops according to the original history, Prime Minister Mazarin, who was regarded as the culprit by the French people, resigned for the third time, which made the French people breathe a sigh of relief and no longer supported Prince Condé, which led to Prince Condé being eventually subordinated to Turenne beat.

At this time, Prince Kong Dai couldn't help but feel very worried after losing consecutive battles.

The morale of the entire army was also low due to the successive defeats.As an excellent military general, or the great Condé who is called a great military strategist by the Europeans, he naturally saw that he was not far from total failure.

At this moment, a personal guard suddenly entered the tent of the Chinese army and reported to him: "Your Highness, there are two Orientals who have requested an audience outside the camp, saying that they have a way to help His Highness and solve His crisis!"

When Grand Condé heard this, he was very surprised. This is France, and black slaves are very common, but where did the orientals come from?
If ordinary people say this, it is estimated that Grand Condé will not pay attention to it at all, because at this time he is already a very famous military general. He once helped France defeat Spain and gain land hegemony.At this time, the person who can catch his eyes is probably Turenne, who is as famous as him.

However, when he heard that the person who came to see him was actually an Oriental, he became a little curious, so the Grand Condé ordered: "You dare to say such a big thing, you go and tell them, if I am not satisfied, I'll hang them! Let's see if they dare to come to see me!"

After he finished speaking, he watched the guards walk out of the tent of the Chinese army. He looked at the door curiously, thinking in his heart: How did the Easterners come so far?I don't know which country in the East it is from?The Spaniards once said that the Great Ming Empire in the east is more powerful, but they all plan to dispatch an expeditionary force of [-] to conquer the Great Ming Empire.

By the way, there were rumors before that the Ming Empire still wanted the Netherlands and Portugal to be their vassal states, which is really ridiculous!This hand is too long!Don't weigh yourself, who do you think you are?Thinking of this, Da Kongdai suddenly had a feeling that the two orientals outside the camp might be from the Ming Empire, because they all made him feel a kind of arrogance and dare to speak big words.

While thinking this way, he suddenly remembered that the Dutch had obtained the blueprint of the steam engine from the Ming Empire, and now all countries are building this steam engine. According to the information that has been obtained so far, this steam engine really has many benefits.

Could it be that the Ming Empire really had two brushes?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to the orientals outside the camp. Could it be that those two orientals also have two brushes and can help him?

"Let's have a look. If they are from the Ming Empire, they probably won't be afraid of being hanged. If they are really capable, they will come to see me!" Thinking about this, Da Kongdai muttered to himself and made a conclusion .

At this moment, he heard footsteps outside, and then, the curtain of the Chinese military tent was lifted, and the personal guard led two people into the Chinese military tent.

When Kong Dai saw it, he found that these two people were indeed Orientals with yellow skin and black eyes.But what made him a little curious was that one of these two people was wearing an eye patch, as if he was blind in one eye; the other was tall and powerful.

These two people have a kind of temperament, which makes Da Kongdai feel that these two people are not ordinary people, they may be people who have been in high positions for a long time and often give orders.

No wonder the people outside the camp, after seeing these two people, did not ignore their brazen words, but chose to report them.

Unknowingly, Da Kongdai himself was also influenced by the temperament of these two people, and his attitude was obviously corrected a little.

I saw that the two orientals saluted the great Condé with the French aristocratic etiquette, and then heard the man who was blind in one eye say to the great Condé: "Your honorable prince! Your Highness, the two of us are willing to serve His Royal Highness, help His Royal Highness turn defeat into victory, and finally seize the throne and rule the world!"

This is really a big tone, and most people will never say it.Those who can say such things are either lunatics or really capable.

Da Kongdai thought so in his heart, so he didn't answer his words, but asked: "Who are you two?"

Hearing his words, the two men glanced at each other, and the man who was blind in one eye answered him: "I am Li Zicheng, the civil and military marshal of the Ming Empire, and this is the number one general under my command." Liu Zongmin!"

During the nearly two years in France, the two not only learned French, but also basically understood the situation in France.

Hearing that the French prince asked their identities, he directly moved out his self-appointed, most powerful title.

Sure enough, Da Kongdai was shocked when he heard it.

Fengtian Advocates Civil and Military Marshal, it sounds like a very powerful title!

Thinking of this, Da Kongdai respected Li Zicheng even more, but at the same time, he was also very strange.Since he is such a powerful person, why did he come to France and look like ordinary people?
So, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and just asked coldly: "The two of you, could you be liars who came to France to bluff? Otherwise, Fengtian Advocates Civil and Military Affairs, such a noble person How did you end up like this?"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but sighed and said: "Your Highness, you haven't heard of it, no one has highs and lows, even His Highness, hasn't he had a prestigious military reputation, and he has also been a prisoner. experience?"

At the end of the Thirty Years' War, Condé became famous and became the most outstanding commander in the French army. That was his most glorious time.

Later, because of the domestic struggle for power, he was imprisoned by Queen Anna of Austria. After being rescued, he defected to Spain and led the Spanish army to avenge him.

At this moment, Grand Kongdai heard what Li Zicheng said, and when he thought of his own experience, he was a little emotional. Invisibly, he had a little more affection for Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin.

So, I heard him ask in a gentle tone: "I want to hear the story of the two of you, don't lie, if I find out that you are lying, I don't mind hanging you two!"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng was not surprised at all, and immediately replied: "I once led millions of troops, spanning many provinces of the Ming Empire, and the area is at least as large as ten of your French. Seeing, I will defeat the Ming Empire." The king of the country..."

"What?" Da Kongdai couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and interrupted Li Zicheng, "Are you a rebel?"

"What's the matter?" Li Zicheng said indifferently when he heard this, "Isn't His Highness rebelling now?"

"..." Da Kongdai was speechless when he heard it, and then waved his hand and said, "Then you continue to talk!"

Therefore, Li Zicheng continued to say to Da Kongdai: "It's just a pity that at this time, the founding emperor of the Ming Empire appeared and turned the tide of the battle. Not to mention, my generals betrayed me one after another, so that I was on the brink of failure and had to go away. Dongwu. By accident, we even came to France. After more than a year, I finally realized that God wanted us to come here to help His Highness!"
