Chapter 1811: The Orientalization of Prussia (Part 2)

"There are a large number of our oriental porcelain, silk, tea, steel and other commodities, and their Junker nobles regard our belongings as honor. They really learn from our meaning thoroughly."

"And there are four large blue and white porcelains in their duke's house, and even ink paintings are hung on the walls. If the building is not their style, I even doubt which home I have entered in our wealthy family in China."

The envoys talked about the temporary houses of Prussia, amazed at the oriental elements they saw in the Principality of Prussia.

The elements of their own country appear in foreign countries, which makes them feel friendly and indescribable.

Most of them are still happy about this. After all, if China wasn’t too strong, how could the other party learn to walk in Handan?

"Prussia is a worthy principality, and we must be on guard during the diplomatic process with them." Chu Lingyun poured a cup of hot tea.

Now not only England, but also Prussia has also begun to sell tea.

As one of the few drinks, coupled with the influence of China, tea culture began to become popular in Europe.

Prussia, which pioneered the orientalization, advocates tea culture even more, and obtaining tea here is a breeze.

Chu Lingyun heard from his father that there are many countries and forces of all sizes in the continent, but few kingdoms need to be paid attention to. France, Prussia, and Tsarist Russia, these three continental forces need to be paid attention to. Of course, there is also England, which is located on the edge of the continent.

The control over England has reached a certain level. There are stationed aviation squads in London and the army and fleets in Portsmouth.

Due to its geographical location and cost reasons, China did not strictly manipulate it.

There are many different kingdoms and principalities, and it will cost too much to manipulate each kingdom, and it is thankless to do it. Furthermore, the territory of the continental countries often changes, and it may be overthrown if they have finally manipulated this kingdom, and then they have to send troops to help in the war.

Chu Yun's concept of balance on continental Europe was to keep them in a state of many countries and not allow a super empire to appear in continental Europe, that is, continental Europe cannot be annexed by a certain kingdom. Ambitious figures such as Napoleon, Bismarck, Peter I, etc. will be the target of China's attacks, and Europe will definitely not be allowed to be unified.

At the same time, we use the kingdoms of coastal areas such as England, Portugal, Denmark as watchdogs to monitor the every move of the continent and differentiate them.

Such a concept was also instilled by Chu Yun into descendants.

"The Holy Roman Empire had more than 300 German princes of all sizes, and the emperor was elected by several electoral princes. Now the throne fell in the hands of the Habsburg dynasty in Austria. As one of the electoral princes of the Holy Roman Empire, Friedrich William seemed to have the intention to replace the Austrian emperor and become the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire." said the Chinese ambassador to the Principal of Prussia.

Since establishing diplomatic relations with a group of powerful kingdoms, the Ministry of Rites has sent envoys to various kingdoms to establish embassies. The Principality of Prussia also has envoys of the Ministry of Rites who have been stationed all year round. In addition to handling normal diplomatic affairs, they are actually monitoring Prussia and spreading the changes here to the capital as soon as possible.

"The population of the Holy Roman Empire is 20 million. If Prussia is allowed to unify the Holy Roman Empire, it may become a big problem." Chu Lingyun said.

The Principal of Prussia was still too weak at this time. Both the Kingdom of Poland and Sweden were stronger than the Principal of Prussia. He had previously not understood why his father was wary of the Principal of Prussia, a country that was not even a second-rate.

But now Chu Lingyun has come to the Principality of Prussia, and he seems to understand that his father's worries are not redundant.

Germany has a large population, and the upper class figures of the Principal of Prussia are extremely fanatical to pursue strength. If Germany is unified by Brandenburg and the Principal of Prussia, then Germany may find a way to unify the continent.

There have been no great unifications in the continent, but it does not mean that there is no monarch who does not want to unify the continent.

The Habsburg dynasty, Louis XIV, Napoleon and others tried to conquer the entire continent.

"I think we might be thinking too much. With the strategy of checks and balances between the continental countries, no one can truly unify the continent. Unless... unless we put huge pressure on them, they will unite and unite to the outside world. Therefore, our diplomatic strategy should be to try not to put pressure on them as our Chinese identity, but to use the contradictions between their respective kingdoms and princes to allow them to balance internally."

"If the Principality of Prussia is strong, we will secretly support the Duke of Bavaria and the Emperor of Austria, so that they can check and balance the Principality of Prussia, and even allow the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of France to intervene."

"Although the Prussian Kingdom has become close to us recently, this is diplomacy between countries, with no eternal friends, only eternal interests."

A group of people affiliated with the Ministry of Rites have private discussions in the house.

They have now become a group of modern diplomats active in the continental region, using various means to disrupt the continental kingdom, either win over or suppress, and behind them are the interests of their own country.

Chu Lingyun and his group were treated preferentially in the Principality of Prussia, and they soon learned that the Kingdom of France had executed three senior judges and placed the charges of attacking the envoys on them.

As for whether these three people were instructed, it is difficult to say clearly.

Prince Rupert was a little dissatisfied when he knew the result of the treatment: "This is what the Kingdom of France explains to us? I even suspect that it was the assassin instructed by the King of France!"

"Our permanent ambassador in Paris, Yu Xin said that the chaos in Paris lasted for two months, hundreds of people died, and several streets were burned. Archbishop Mazaran was exiled, and the French royal finance chief and dozens of other chiefs were arrested. Rebels from other provinces even besieged Paris. This matter should not have been done by Louis XIV. He would not have put the French Kingdom in civil strife in order to assassinate us." Chu Lingyun was reported by the diplomatic ambassador to Paris.

Prince Rupert thought about it and it seemed that the assassination of several envoys would not affect China and England's advantage over France. This time, the French Kingdom's major blood exchange will probably take a long time to recover.

"Next is Spain and Portugal, then enter the Mediterranean to visit the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Venice, Genoa, the Knights of the Hospital, Constantinople, and then the Suez Canal... and you also have to give special condolences to the Suez Canal Company." Chu Lingyun was thinking about his next itinerary.
