The staunchly anti-Ming Belgium could not afford to offend anyone in Europe.
They basically pursue a strategy of passive resistance against the independent army.
In return, after the independent army entered Brussels, it did not plunder the property of the Belgian royal family.
Of course, this is also because most of the property has actually been taken to the Netherlands by Leopold II.
The Netherlands was a true neutral in this war.
Even Daming did not declare war on it, and the Dutch royal family even conferred titles on the Vanderbilt family as a gesture of favor to Daming.
Leopold II, who was in exile in The Hague, learned that Britain, Russia and other countries had sent high-level missions to William I's funeral, so he simply came in person.
In addition to burying old William, he came this time for a series of diplomatic purposes.
First of all, of course, continue to build good relations with various European powers, and seek to contain Ming's influence in Africa. It would be great if they could create an anti-Ming alliance.
In addition, Leopold II has one more thing to deal with, that is, he wants to break off the engagement of his daughter Princess Stephanie to the Habsburg prince Rudolf Franz Karl Joseph.
Princess Stephanie was born in the second year of Dewu and is only 13 years old this year.
But when she was eight years old, her father had already made a marriage contract.
The object of the marriage contract is Rudolf Franz, the former crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who is only 14 years old this year.
Of course, it might be time to call this brat Rudolph Chang.
The marriages of European royal families are quite complicated, and there is no doubt that the Habsburg family is one of the best.
This is not only reflected in the absurd history of the so-called "lower body castle" empire that almost unified Europe through marriage, but also in the fact that the nobles of various European countries are also proud of marrying the Habsburg family.
The mother of Obold II's own consort, Princess Stephanie, was the Grand Duchess Marie Henrietta from the Habsburg family.
The husband chosen by Opold II for his daughter was Rudolf, the only son of Habsburg-Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz and Empress Elizabeth.
Not surprisingly, Rudolph will be the natural emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future.
Belgium can get a powerful backer through marriage.
However, an accident happened like this.
Now Elizabeth and Franz are still arguing about whether they are divorced, but Elizabeth announced her engagement to Baron Zhang Xiaoliang of Daming Cao County in a high-profile manner, which is already a certainty.
Prince Rudolf, who lived with his mother since childhood and was deeply taught by Uncle Xiaoliang, gave up the right to inherit the throne, and even gave up his status as a member of the Habsburg family.
In this way, of course Opold II was unwilling to marry his daughter to him.
He believes that all of this is the fault of the damn Ming people!
His hatred for Daming deepened again.
In fact, what Opold II didn't know was that even if there were no changes caused by Ming Dynasty, his daughter would not be destined to be the queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
On the original historical line, four years later, in 4, Princess Stephanie of Belgium married Crown Prince Rudolf of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Augustinian Church in Vienna and became the Crown Princess.
This can be said to be a highly anticipated wedding.
British Crown Prince Edward VII and German Crown Prince Wilhelm II, a pair of world-class cousins attended their wedding at the same time, which shows how grand the wedding is.
However, this kind of emotionless political marriage is doomed to have no happiness at all.
After just five years of marriage, Princess Stephanie became infertile due to gonorrhea.
Three years later, Crown Prince Rudolph and his mistress, Baroness Marie Vessela committed suicide at the "Mayerling" hunting lodge.
Rudolph's death completely broke Elizabeth's last line of psychological defense.
Prior to this, her daughter died of typhoid fever (it was cured by Julie's special medicine in the time and space line).
More far-reaching, Rudolf's death deprived Emperor Franz of a direct male heir.
This caused the succession to the throne to fall to Franz's nephew.
And his nephew is the famous Grand Duke Franz Ferdinand...
Chapter 864 Rollover
Abdul eventually reprimanded William's eldest nephew face to face.
Because brother William's coffin finally overturned.
In the Christian world, celebrities were generally buried in church vaults.
But an emperor like William I naturally had to be buried in a special place.
William I is over 80 years old, and the cemetery has long been arranged.
His first wife has been dead for many years and is buried in the summer palace on the mountainside.
According to William I's will, his body will be buried with his wife.
Generally speaking, relatives and friends should leave after attending the farewell ceremony in the church, and only the core members of the family of the deceased will stay to participate in the burial ceremony.
However, the Ming Mission hadn't gone far in the red flag car when they heard a loud noise.
Abdul rolled down the car window, and saw that the Mercedes-Benz sedan transporting his elder brother's coffin had rolled over into a ditch on a not-so-steep mountain road.
Brother William's coffin immediately broke free from the binding ropes, ejected, and plunged straight into the rocks.
Then, just like the scene when Orochimaru summoned the first generation and the second generation with the forbidden technique of reincarnation, the exquisitely crafted William's coffin was opened inappropriately.
It's just that brother William has a mortal body after all, so he couldn't stand such a bump, and he fell straight forward.
"Big-eared goats with scallions stuck in their noses, you don't have the craftsmanship of Daming cars, what kind of elephants are you pretending to be!"
Abdul was furious, and a meaty attack drove away the flustered Duguo crowd.
After all, we have never seen such a scene.
Abdul lifted the old brother up with his own hands, patted off the dust, and then pressed him back into the coffin board.
Then, he personally helped his elder brother's coffin onto his Chiqi five-series, stepped on the accelerator, and drove up the hillside effortlessly.
When William II and others came back to their senses, it was a done deal.
The point is that Abdul, who was drunk, was not only bold and reckless, but also unambiguous when he drove the car.
Qiu Mingshan, the god of chariots, opened the hearse and moved very coquettishly.
Everyone hurried to catch up, followed him all the way to eat butt ashes, and finally arrived at the Summer Palace.
Fortunately, it is already the second stage of the funeral, many envoys from various countries have left, and all the reporters have been driven away, otherwise William II would have the heart to kill this fat man.
But he also knew that the key was not the fat man.
The moment his grandfather's coffin fell to the ground, the face of the German royal family was completely lost.
Thinking of this, William couldn't help thinking of Bismarck, who patted his chest and said that there was no problem with German manufacturing, and the damn profiteer Karl Friedrich Benz.
They are the ones who lied to me, they are the ones who misled me!
William II became more determined to drive these wastes away.
Sure enough, British technology is more reliable...
Of course William II knew that the best car in the world came from Daming, but Daming was always an outsider, and Britain was his grandmother's home anyway.
William remembered that his mother had owned a British Doberman when she was still alive.
Although the performance is a little worse than that of Ming Dynasty cars, it is also countless times stronger than this unattractive and useless Mercedes-Benz.
Now seven years later, the British cars must be more advanced.
Of course, having received pro-British education since he was a child, this does not mean that William intends to let his grandmother go.
Instead, he intends to increase the intensity of the war, strive to enter London as soon as possible, and bring the advanced British production lines and highly skilled engineers back to Berlin.
As long as there is British technology, Germany can produce qualified cars.
At that time, he will sit in an advanced car jointly produced by Britain and Germany, and humiliate Bismarck, an old stubborn, and Karl Friedrich Benz, a profiteer.
If William II's thoughts are known to these two people, they will definitely cry out for injustice.
Bismarck praised Mercedes-Benz in front of William II, who was still the crown prince, and believed that the young engineer Mercedes-Benz (Benz) was another genius in German industry after Dr. Siemens.
But Bismarck never said that the performance of Mercedes-Benz cars can be compared with that of Ming cars.
Perhaps there are descriptions such as "comparable" and "no less than" in the words, but this is just a rhetorical method, a conventional compliment. Who knew that the young emperor's grandson would take it so seriously?
As for Karl Friedrich Benz, it is even more unfounded.
In the bidding documents of the German government, I lied a little bit about the parameters. Is this not a routine operation?
Who is not like that?
Siemens did it too!
In short, compared with other German businessmen who are currently dancing around to cheat financial subsidies, or blatantly manufacture and sell fake products, Mercedes-Benz considers itself as pure as a white lotus.
To put it bluntly, no one thought that William II would use the newly finalized Mercedes-Benz to carry his grandfather's coffin. The young emperor acted too unexpectedly and headstrong.
In fact, there is Zhu Fugui's pot inside.
In 1863, Zhu Fugui established the Fourth Ming Empire in North America. At that time, Zhu Fuguian was only 16 years old.
Up to now, in 1877, 14 years have passed, and Zhu Fugui is only 30 years old.
The brilliant and dazzling success of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the blessing of a series of literary and artistic works such as "My Struggle", made countries have unrealistic expectations for the young monarch.
William II is less than 20 years old this year, and it stands to reason that the prestige is not enough to control the overall situation so quickly.
But it was the butterfly effect brought by Zhu Fugui that helped him.
Even William II himself felt that he would become the second Zhu Fugui, and even do better than him.
Unknowingly, Ming Dynasty has had a profound influence on European countries.
In the end, Abdul and Wang Pinren successfully completed their task.
With Zhu Fugui's blessing, Abdul personally sent brother William to the ground, planted a peach tree on his grave, and tied a beautiful big Ming knot.
Wang Pinren further integrated the intelligence network in the original Prussian territory, and distributed the minions of the white hound to the entire territory of the independent country.
Zhu Fugui greeted them in Xindihua.
Xindihua is not a big city, and it is far less prosperous than Xinxiang, which was recovered at the same time.
But the city makes a lot of sense.
Because its original name was Washington.DC.
After Ming gained a decisive advantage in the North Atlantic naval battle, the British colonies in North America were all dead.
General Robert King Jr., the only god of war in the American Federation, judged the situation, raised the flag of rebellion, and defected to the light.
However, he voted a bit late after all.
In the end, the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites and the Planning Department held a meeting to discuss and decide that Robert King Jr. should not be awarded the Daming Zhuka.
But at the same time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice of the Ming Dynasty also decided to pardon him for the war crime of resisting the heavenly soldiers, and allowed him to be naturalized in the two American states.
Under the instigation of a pretty boy who is not convenient to reveal his name, Lord Potter put aside his prejudices and treated each other with courtesy.
Appointed Robert King, Jr., as Secretary of Water for the Upper Marquis of the United States, to preside over water projects for the Altamaha River and related waters.
Chapter 865
As the last combatable soldier of the Angsa forces in North America surrendered without a fight, Daming also completely controlled the entire territory of the old land of Yinzhou.
Accompanying Zhu Fugui on the east tour this time was no longer Bai Xia'er, the queen empress recognized by the people, but his first wife, Yin Susu.
A long time ago, Zhu Fugui made a promise that one day he would hand over Abraham Lincoln, the leader of the North American anti-human bandit who has committed many crimes and countless crimes, to her for punishment.
When Robert King Jr. led his troops to surrender, he did not bring his "close comrade-in-arms" Robert Lincoln Jr. with him.
Because he knew that Robert Lincoln Jr. would definitely not dare to surrender to Daming.
Because when Ming fired the first shot to drive out the white colonists by force in Xinjin, he published the famous "Eight Great Hate" declaration.
The Lincoln family clearly belonged to the heinous list.
There is no revolutionary friendship between anti-human gangs.
You Lincoln and his son have a deep feud with Ming Dynasty, but I, Robert King Jr., don't have it.
