Louis XIV was shot in the leg, and although the wound was slowly healing after treatment, according to the military doctor who accompanied him, he was likely to become lame in his life.

This lame king usually goes to extremes, and may be disabled and strong-willed, and accomplish great things; They may also give up on themselves and be tyrannical. I don't know what this fat half-sized boy will look like in the future.

Because of their special status, Anna and Mazarin of Austria were separated from the rest of the aristocracy and kept alone in a small cabin, which, interestingly, had only a small bed.

It stands to reason that a small bed is enough, and the two are in the Louvre, often sleeping together, without avoiding people, and the relationship between the old and the good friends has long been known in France.

But here, give them the guts and don't dare to stack each other again. Anna of Austria was a woman with little political talent, otherwise she would not have entrusted all military and political affairs to Mazarin.

Falling into such a situation, she was terrified, and Mazarin was also very uneasy, for fear that she would be dragged away and humiliated by the soldiers of the Qin army. Although Anna is not young, she is well maintained, are old, her charm still exists, and her special identity is still very attractive to men.

"Honey, what to do? What now? ”

Mazarin worriedly looked at the choppy English Channel through the small porthole, and said softly: "Queen Mother, don't panic, under normal circumstances, the people of the Qin State should immediately take the treasures and captives away and fly away, and now they stay in the Seine Bay and do not leave, they must have other plans, and things may take a turn for the better." ”

When Anna, who looked haggard, heard this, she couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, and asked with a loss: "What turnaround?" Honey, what do you think will turn around? ”

"Queen Mother, although I can't be sure yet, I want to come to Qin to stay or not. Most likely, they want to use us to influence the situation in France. ”

"So we won't be in any danger? Is that what you mean? ”

"It can be understood that way."

Anna of Austria is a princess of Spain, and after marrying in France, she and her husband Louis XIII did not get along very well, and they have been living separately for a few years after their marriage;

Moreover, figures like Richelieu have always prevented her from betraying France, and have repeatedly directed her to launch rebellions. Other French aristocrats also wanted to overthrow her regency.

In this case, it would be impossible to say how deeply Anna had feelings for France;

Now that it has fallen into this kind of field, as long as it can save her life and keep the glory and wealth of the Queen Mother, what are the interests of France. To hell with it, the French had always thought she was just a Spanish spy anyway.

"My dear, can you go and talk to the people of the Qin Kingdom, as long as they are willing to release us and promise them some conditions, it doesn't matter."

"Queen Mother, we can't take the initiative to ask the people of Qin State now. If my guess is correct, they will come to talk to us soon, and if we take the initiative to find the people of Qin, then we will have even fewer chips. ”

"But. Now I don't know what the situation outside has become. Bourbon controls the whole of France, and we don't even have the chips. ”

This is what Mazarin feared the most, and the rebellion of the Fronde was originally manipulated by many French aristocrats and capitalists behind the scenes. Now there is Louis, Prince of Condé. Morality. Led by such a figure as Bourbon, as soon as they are captured, the whole of France will inevitably be in turmoil;

In this case, it is highly likely that the Fronde led by the Prince of Condé will quickly seize power in France.

That's really the time. That would be too bad.

Between the gains and losses, Mazarin's heart was like a thousand pounds of weight, which made people almost breathless. Do you want to take the initiative to talk to the people of Qin?

Do you want to?

In the flagship command cabin, Zhang Haoran and their negotiation were also going on enthusiastically. Paris, as one of the hearts of Europe, suddenly encountered this great change, and the whole of Europe suddenly changed;

All the forces want to fish in troubled waters, Britain, Portugal, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands and other countries, plus Louis in France. Morality. Bourbon, Willik, Viscount Tirrene, Vanlit, Barak, Froude and other people who control the heavy army, each with their own thoughts, so many forces stirring France, it is difficult to predict what the situation will turn out in the next moment.

Zhang Haoran once again mentioned one of the main tasks of this visit to Europe, and persuaded the Holy See to integrate European forces to flank the Ottoman Empire, so that Great Qin could better implement the strategy of Central Asia, and Shun lì included the east of the Wula Mountains, the Kipchak steppe, and the Hezhong region into the territory of Great Qin.

In fact, Great Qin's Central Asia strategy is even more important than that of Europe, because it is the backyard and strategic resource treasure house that Qin Mu wants to leave to future generations.

The current Osman Empire is in its heyday, with a territory spanning Europe, Asia and Africa, fighting many European countries alone, and has reached the steppes of Eastern Europe, and even almost occupied Vienna, making Europe feel under pressure, and the war potential of the Ottomans should not be underestimated.

On the other hand, most of Central Asia now believes in Islam, and it is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and Great Qin has to face tremendous pressure to compete with the Ottomans for territory in Central Asia. This is also the reason why Qin Mu sent a delegation to Europe to lobby the Holy See.

In this regard, Zhang Haoran already had the actual idea of lobbying the Holy See and even Spain, but now, Philip IV wants to conquer France in person; Britain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other Protestant countries are also eager to get a piece of the pie;

As soon as everyone gets involved, Spain's energy is likely to sink into French soil, so why not flank the Ottomans?

How to keep the situation in France under control, and at the same time dismember this country, which is very likely to rise to become the new hegemon of Europe, is a real headache.

Zheng Jie said, "Lord Zhang, why don't we talk to the Queen Mother and Mazarin first?" ”

Zhang Haoran nodded and said, "It's okay, let's talk to them first." ”

As soon as he said this, the soldiers who were in charge of guarding Austria Anna and Mazarin came in and reported: "Ambassador Zhang, the French Prime Minister has asked to see you." ”

Zheng Hao couldn't help but glance at Zhang Haoran, and saw a smile in each other's eyes. Now in this situation, fools know that whoever is active is actually passive.

Because the situation is unpredictable and it is difficult to delay any longer, Zhang Haoran said: "Since Mazarin asks to see him, then the official will meet him first." ”

As soon as Zhang Haoran stood up, a thought suddenly flashed through Zheng Jie's heart, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang, wait, Xiaguan suddenly feels that we seem to have misunderstood who is the main master." ”

Zhang Haoran was slightly stunned, turned back to look at Zheng Jie, Zheng Jie continued: "Lord Zhang, Anna of Austria is the Queen Mother of France, equivalent to the Queen Regent, from this point of view, although Mazarin has the sole power, it is given by the Queen Regent, in other words, the Queen Mother Anna is the main master, we just want to talk, and we should talk to the Queen Mother, this is the right reason." ”

Zhang Haoran listened, and couldn't help nodding frequently, after observation, although the Queen Mother Anna is a regent queen, she doesn't have much political talent, and after being captured, she is even more panicked, and talking to such a woman will definitely be much simpler than talking to Mazarin.

In the narrow cabin, Mazarin was whispering to Anna of Austria when the hatch was suddenly opened, and two Qin soldiers came in, without saying a word, one grabbed Mazarin by one arm and dragged him out.

Mazarin and Anna couldn't help but be shocked, and Anna even went up and hugged Mazarin's leg and shouted, "What are you going to do?" Let him go! Let him go! ”

Mazarin also shouted angrily: "Let me go! You robbers! Let go of me."

At this time, an oriental face appeared outside the cabin door, and said in French, which was not fluent: "Mr. Mazarin, we want to talk to the Queen Mother of your country, you must avoid it, if you want to stay here, then we have to knock you out." ”

"I want to see your ambassador! Let him come to me! ”

When Anna from Austria heard that someone was going to talk to her alone, she was inexplicably shocked, and her first consciousness was that she was a woman, and if there was anything to talk about, they must have subconsciously let go of Mazarin's thighs and covered her chest, for fear that someone would suddenly rush in and tear her clothes
