The Rise of the European Emperor Chapter 1807 Marching to Paris

How to get along with France has always been a major problem for the North Sea country. If it is against France alone, with the current strength of the North Sea country, I dare not say that it will win, but it is still possible to guarantee undefeated. But the problem is that the North Sea State has many enemies in Germany. If it gets involved with France, it will be easily surrounded and flanked.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Marin had to make compromises with France on the surface. Originally, Marin had designed the script, which made France and Spain die in Italy. It's a pity that a smallpox caused the two countries to stop fighting. Now, the main forces of France are all entrenched in Paris, not far from the North Sea country.

At this time, if tens of thousands of immigrants are rashly removed from France, it will definitely touch the nerves of the French and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Marin also has a headache about this.

But if these tens of thousands of French landless farmers were given up, Marin would not be reconciled. After all, there are tens of thousands of people who can cultivate hundreds of thousands of acres of land!

In order to solve this problem, Marin had no choice but to convene his subordinates to discuss how to solve this problem. During the discussion, everyone spoke enthusiastically. Among them, Schwartz even suggested to learn from the practice in the Principality of Württemberg and directly send spies to encourage the landless French farmers to launch a peasant uprising, and then create more refugees. Finally, Marin sent people to France to buy prisoners of war...

But Kohler objected:

"Schwartz, listen to me, my intelligence personnel reported that the French already knew what happened in Württemberg. It is said that some German princes told the French envoys. In other words, our routine French people understand..."

"If we still use this routine to deal with France, the French are likely to notice it. As long as we send people to buy prisoners of war, the other party will easily guess that we have tampered with it. Think about it, what will happen then? ?”

Schwartz was taken aback:

"What? Those damned princes are hooking up with France? Isn't this a traitor?" Schwartz never thought that the German princes were so close to France.

Marin didn't speak, but he knew it very well. You know, more than three years later in history, after the emperor died, many German princes even planned to elect the French king Francois I as the emperor of Shenluo. If Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, hadn't expressed his position at a critical moment and took the lead in supporting Charles V, it is estimated that François I might really become Emperor Shenluo. The representatives of the pro-French faction, headed by Anthony, Duke of Lorraine, basically regarded the Habsburg family as enemies, but regarded France as an ally.

It is because of such memories,

Therefore, Marin knew the strength of the pro-French forces within Germany, so he cast a rat-fighting weapon and did not dare to turn his face against France easily.

"So, what should we do?" Schwartz asked in distress.

In fact, if these tens of thousands of landless French farmers are brought back, all the people here will be beneficiaries. Because, the people here are all the top landlords in Beihai. Although their arable land in the North Sea State is restricted, Marin does not restrict them from obtaining land in the American colonies.

Moreover, Marin's eating looks are not ugly. When tens of thousands of people come back, he eats at most two-thirds, and the remaining one-third is divided among the few big shots present, and only a small part will be reserved for the people below. Therefore, this is also a matter that is closely related to the interests of those present.

At this time, Machiavelli, who is usually very low-key, suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, all the masters, I think the French court would definitely not want to see the existence of hundreds of thousands of landless peasants in France. Right now, if we rashly recruit tens of thousands of people, it will definitely anger France. However, if we Let these landless peasants make trouble as homeless people first..."

"Make a fuss? What do you mean? Let them launch a peasant uprising? Isn't this similar to Schwartz's routine?" Marin asked.

Machiavelli shook his head and said:

"No, Your Majesty, when I said 'making trouble', I didn't start an uprising, it was real trouble. Maybe the Germans don't have this tradition here, they like to pick up their weapons and do it. But in our Italian region, if the common people have something to do , or prefer protests and demonstrations to wars..."

Marin suddenly realized...

In this era when wars broke out at every turn, he had forgotten the most common gatherings and riots in Europe in later generations. Before time travel, after the French President Ma who married a female teacher 24 years older than himself came to power, France has been making yellow vests. Because of this matter, the young brother Ma was also in a state of desperation.

What Schwartz did in Württemberg before, naturally cannot be applied to France. Because instigating the national rebellion of the other party is an endless hatred. Once discovered, the two sides will immediately turn their faces completely.

But if you incite the landless French peasants to go to Paris to petition... This is not a rebellion, and there is no precedent, and it is not easy for the French to find out.

But if 200,000 or 300,000 refugees gather in Paris, the impact will be no less than the yellow vests of later generations. Even scarier than the yellow vests. Because, as the largest city in Europe at this time, Paris had a population of just over 120,000 (the largest city in Europe was Naples in 1500, with 150,000 people, and Paris ranked second, but later because of the war, a large number of people in Naples fled. Paris naturally became the largest city. Unexpectedly, right? Not so much population, and France will not compete for the Kingdom of Naples. Because the total population of the Kingdom of Naples exceeds 2 million). If two or three million peasants who lost their land all ran to Paris to petition, Francois I was not just as simple as a big head. Because the number of petitioners has far exceeded the population of Paris!

You know, when the Yellow Vests broke out in later generations, the population of Paris was 2.24 million, and more than 200,000 Yellow Vests caused France to be devastated and about to collapse. Now, refugees who are larger than the population of Paris are pouring into Paris. Even if they don’t cause trouble, they can scare the French court to death...

...

Thinking of this, Marin was very happy, and decided to let those unlucky French landless farmers learn from their backs, hold a rally, and scare the Paris court.

Then, wait until the French ruling and opposition parties feel that the claws are difficult, and then stand up and express their willingness to accept those refugees... In this way, not only will they not offend France, but they can also gain France's favor...

...

"No, if I jumped out to receive these populations, it might arouse the suspicion of the French..."

Marin thought about it, but still felt inappropriate. According to the principle of "whoever is the biggest beneficiary is the most suspicious" in later generations, Marin is easily suspected. If he took the initiative to jump out to take the offer, smarter people would suspect that he did it...

How can we not make the French suspicious...

After the meeting ended, Sauer, who hadn't spoken just now, didn't leave. After hesitating for a while, he suggested to Marin:

"Or, after those French peasants make trouble and cause the French court to suffer, let John Rafi, the 'French Minister', offer to sell the refugees to us?" After finishing speaking, Sauer also looked a little unconfident.

After meditating for a while, Marin clapped his hands and applauded:

"That's right, wouldn't it be easy to expose if it was brought up by their own people?"

But Marin vetoed this idea again, because John Lafite might be exposed in the future, and at that time, he would be exposed. However, this idea is really good...

After thinking about it for a day, Marin finally thought of a better solution - let John Rafi, the "French minister", secretly influence other French ministers, and let other French ministers make this suggestion. In this way, it will be even more unnoticed...

But first, we need to send people to organize those landless French peasants who have lost their land and plan to go homeless, and let them go to Paris to make a petition, make a fuss, and frighten the French court...
