Chapter 597 Launching the Second Opium War

Looking at the golden sycamore leaves and elegant and fashionable buildings on the street, Zhu Youxiao, who entered the city of Paris for the first time, couldn't believe that this place would belong to his territory.

It’s just a pity that there was no Arc de Triomphe at this time, otherwise, Zhu Youxiao would have to let his team pass through Arc de Triomphe and then blow it up.

Louis XIV was in a hurry when he evacuated, and only brought his guards. Most of the nobles, officials, troops, and various gold and silver goods were left behind, but they were his lovers.

Zhu Youxiao walked into the Palace of Versailles, which was a world-famous palace at this time only belonged to the Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty.

Louis XIV's lover, the Marquis of Montesban, is a famous beauty in Paris and Louis XIV's favorite lover, but this time she had to live a tactful love under Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao not only enjoyed his women in Louis XIV's bedroom, but also enjoyed his treatment.

Zhu Youxiao was in the Palace of Versailles for five days, and then ordered an army to loot the entire Palace of Versailles, and then sprinkle tinder oil in the Palace of Versailles, burning the place to ruins in one hand.

In history, France was one of the robbers who burned the Old Summer Palace after the Second Opium War. At this moment, Zhu Youxiao wanted to make him suffer this disaster in France's Versailles Palace.

What kind of architectural art treasures and Western architectural representatives cannot prevent Zhu Youxiao from burning the palace.

The huge Palace of Versailles was burned for three days and three nights, and all the French people cried and felt great shame because they could only endure it, because the Ming Dynasty is better than France now.

Paris is the largest city occupied by the Ming Dynasty in the Europa Conquest. After all, the city of Rome has not fully recovered due to a war, and there is still a gap compared to Paris.

The significance of occupying Paris now is naturally not inferior to the significance of occupying Rome.

After occupying France and Switzerland, Zhu Youxiao accepted the suggestion of generals such as Fu Dahai and other generals, and simply continued to use the East Line Group to join forces with the Navy to sweep southwestern France to directly attack Flangji, while the West Line Group attacked the Netherlands, Austria and other countries, and the North Line Group Li Ding's troops returned to the Isle of Wight to march towards the Nordic region.

The Florians were basically unable to withstand the Ming navy and army. After occupying the port of Marseille, Hewa's troops directly advanced along the coastline of the French, controlling the Florians Mediterranean waters in one fell swoop.

The Strait of Gibraltar has become a decoration at this time and cannot stop the main force of the Ming Navy. Moreover, the three main fleets of the Ming Navy have directly jumped across the Strait of Gibraltar to capture the two ports of Hores and Huelva. At the same time, the advance troops of the Ming Army's Eastern Front Group have arrived outside Victoria.

The entire Florence navy was compressed around Porto, while the army was compressed around Madrid.

In just half a month, the Florian navy was completely wiped out, and the Madrid army was directly defeated. Zhu Youxiao almost had time to go to Switzerland to get the news that the Florian was destroyed.

At the same time, the Netherlands, Austria and other countries were also destroyed one after another.

Li Dingguo used his partial army to conquer Northern Europe and almost defeated Gula. He met with the Western Front Group in Poland one month later.

At this point, the entire Europa, except for England and Rakshasa, was all included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Youxiao was not surprised. With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, even if Europa united, it is not surprising that it is not a surprise.

At this time, in the whole world, except for tribes or indigenous people who were still in primitive society, there were only five countries, namely the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire, the Rakshasa Kingdom, the British and North Korea.

What Zhu Youxiao wanted to do was to make the Ming Dynasty a global empire and let Han culture dominate the world. Therefore, these countries would all perish except North Korea, which had already accepted Han culture.

Even in North Korea, Zhu Youxiao forcibly abolished the vassal attributes of North Korea and changed it to the governor-general system. That is, the king of the Li Dynasty continued to be granted the title, but the one who held the power was the governor-general sent by the court. The scholars of the Korean country could only be assistant officials, and each level of chief official must be an official of the Ming Dynasty.

Many powerful families in North Korea opposed the arbitrary strategy of the Ming Dynasty and accused Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Ming Dynasty, which was against the ancestral system.

Zhu Youxiao hates others to talk about the ancestral system the most, so he simply let the army guarding the capital in China take a train to arrive next to the Yalu River in North Korea, which scared North Korea to obey.

However, according to the instructions given by Zhu Youxiao to the Ministry of War, after resolving the Eurasian War, we should find a way to seize North Korea's independent military power, dismiss North Korea's local army, and the Ming Dynasty was responsible for its national defense in order to achieve real control of North Korea.

The Ottoman Empire was a country that was about to die but not dead, and the same was true for the Rakshasa Kingdom. It was also severely damaged after Siberia was occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was not in a hurry to destroy these two empires with sunsets. The Ming Dynasty had to deal with the Stuart dynasty in England first.

Before this, maintaining the rule of the Stuart dynasty in England to suppress the rise of nationalism and bourgeois revolution in England was in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty. However, now the Stuart dynasty is the representative of the unified force of the British and Geely, which has become the biggest obstacle to the Ming Dynasty's destruction of England.

However, many rulers of the Stuart dynasty at this time still believed that the Ming Dynasty had no intention of destroying them, and naively believed that as long as the Ming Dynasty's needs were met, the Ming army would not destroy England.

What the rulers of the Stuart dynasty would not have thought was that the Ming Dynasty was already brewing at this moment to find an excuse to launch a war to conquer England.

When the Ming Dynasty swept across northern and central and northern parts of Northern Europe, the Meisheng Company's armed forces raided with a group of British maritime merchants in the Ming Concession in Birmingham according to the instructions of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Ming Dynasty. Then, a cargo ship transporting opium from Meisheng Company was sunk by British maritime merchant ships, causing an uproar.

After learning about this, Governor Li Dingguo of White immediately replied to Charles I, the king of the Stuart Dynasty, and strongly asked Charles I to explain the matter.

Then, another suspected London British army forcibly seized Meisheng Company's cargo ship. Although Meisheng Company defeated this army, it also aroused the anger of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Navy directly spanned the English Channel and was directly near London, and the Ming Army also gathered in major concessions, and various war materials were constantly transported to these concessions.

At this moment, the entire Stuart dynasty of England realized that the Ming Dynasty had already intended to destroy England.
