Although Anna of Austria has a special identity, and the are still charming, but in terms of beauty, there are many French noblewomen and aristocratic ladies on the ship who are more moving than her, and Zhang Haoran is an ambassador to the European mission, not an ordinary soldier, and when he comes to talk to him, he naturally will not pull her to bed to talk.

However, as a captive, Anna can't help but think in the worst direction, now she is just an ordinary soldier of the Qin army, and she can be dragged to bed and ravaged at will, not to mention the ambassador of the Great Qin Mission himself.

The conversation with her went fairly smoothly.

After Zhang Haoran proposed the condition of ceding Le Havre, the regent of France initially agreed, but soon repented;

Although she has no political talents, Le Havre guards the mouth of the Seine and is known as the outer port of Paris. Controlling Le Havre is actually equivalent to controlling Paris's throat to the outside world, and it can threaten the security of Paris at any time.

Considering that the cession of Le Havre would inevitably attract national condemnation, the regent immediately reversed itself and offered to cede the port of Marseille as a condition.

If you look at the map of France, you will know that Marseille is located in the Provence region of southern France, facing the Mediterranean Sea. Now that the Strait of Gibraltar, the choke point of the Mediterranean, is in the hands of Spain, it is difficult for Daqin to operate even if he gets the port of Marseille.

Therefore, Zhang Haoran denied this condition.

If Zhang Haoran had known that the Great Qin Emperor Qin Da intended to seize all the areas of the Suez Canal from the Ottoman Empire and dig a canal to open up the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, he would have gladly accepted the terms of the French Empress Dowager Anna ceding the port of Marseille.

However, the idea of the Great Qin Emperor to dig the Suez Canal is still in his mind, and even Egypt is still ruled by the Ottoman Empire.

Therefore, Zhang Haoran felt that the port of Marseille, located in the Mediterranean Sea, was like a piece of chicken ribs for Daqin, which was carried into a bowl, and the food was tasteless. It's a pity to abandon it.

As soon as Zhang Haoran's tone became tough, the French Queen Mother Anna suddenly softened, remembering that she was just a lamb in the hands of others, she immediately increased her weight and promised to cede the Blue Shore District of Provence, where the port of Marseille is located, to Daqin.

The Blue Shore is a large coastal area that connects Toulon in the Var department with Menton in the Alpes on the Italian border. Geographically, the region is surrounded by the Alps to the north and the sea to the south.

This area has all kinds of beautiful lavender, picturesque scenery, and is the most desirable place for countless petty bourgeoisie in later generations, but now. In addition to the port of Marseille, the Blue Bank area is mostly sparsely populated in the mountains.

This would not have aroused Zhang Haoran's interest, but considering that Le Havre's strategic position of guarding Paris's access to the sea is too special, even if France is forced to cede it now, once France eases up in the future, it will be recaptured at any cost, and Daqin will spend countless energy, and it may not be able to really keep Le Havre.

At the same time, considering that the Mediterranean Sea is the cradle of European civilization, surrounding the countries of the Mediterranean. It used to be the mainstream of trade between the East and the West, and even now, it also accounts for a very heavy share of trade;

Daqin had already been given a trading port facing the Atlantic Ocean in Portugal, if he could gain another territory in the Mediterranean. It was also a good thing to use as a distribution center for trade between Daqin and the countries bordering the Mediterranean.

As for the Strait of Gibraltar, which Spain was holding, as long as a peace agreement was reached with Spain, or even an agreement to flank the Ottoman Empire together. The passage of merchant ships through the Strait of Gibraltar will no longer be a problem.

After Zhang Haoran returned to the flagship command ship to discuss with Zheng Jie and others, he decided to agree to the conditions of the French Empress Dowager Anna, and France ceded the port of Marseille and the surrounding Blue Shore area within a radius of 500 miles. and compensated Daqin with 3 million taels of silver, allowed Daqin's goods to enter the French market freely, and implemented a zero-tariff policy for all Daqin's goods.

Daqin promised to release Anna and Mazarin and some French nobles, and as for Louis XIV, he had to stay on the Qin warship to "recuperate" until Daqin completed the takeover of Marseille and its surrounding areas, so that Louis XIV could return to France.

This is undoubtedly a humiliating treaty for France, but if it were not, the fate of the captive Empress Dowager Anna and others would be very miserable.

So she agreed, but what else did she have a choice? And although she is not smart, she can also think that in order to ensure the interests in hand, Qin Jun will definitely support her to regain control of France; If the Stonethrowers had taken control of the French regime, there was a good chance that they would not have recognized this humiliating treaty.

Zhang Haoran's quick knife cut through the mess, which also surprised many people, at least General Lan Bai, who led the army to rush over, did not expect that he wanted to invade France in the name of supporting the Great Qin Mission;

He had even made a plan for the battle, that is, to take Paris directly, and after taking Paris, Cromwell would send another army across the English Channel, land from Dunkirk, and attack the rich plains of northern France.

But now, before he arrived with the warship, Zhang Haoran reached an agreement with the French, and put back the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister Mazarin, and some of the French nobles who supported them;

In addition to Van Lit, Willique, Viscount Tyrrenne, Barak, and Floud, who controlled the French naval and land army, were originally Mazarin's henchmen, and in order to protect their own interests, these people quickly rallied around the Empress Dowager Anna and Mazarin, and obeyed orders.

Even the wavering Van Ritte did what he was told, and began to use his cavalry to quell the Fronde rebellion around the Seine.

The French navy led by Barak was based in Le Havre to guard against foreign invasion.

In this case, even Zhang Haoran directly opposed British interference in French affairs, and Lan Bai could not find an excuse to invade for a while, and at the same time, the French navy and land forces had unified command, and Lan Bai was not sure that he would be able to win favor from Barak.

The Portuguese fleet, which arrived immediately after, was also secretly disappointed.

A day later, news came that Willik and Froude had joined forces to regain Paris, and the Empress Dowager Anna and Mazarin were able to return to the Louvre. Although the Louvre was empty after being carried by the Qin army and sacked by the slingers, its glorious palace is still there, and it still has extraordinary symbolic significance.

The Empress Dowager Anna and Mazarin had been in control of France for nearly a decade, and most of the officials and generals in various places, most of whom were their cronies, plus Mazarin's own talent, quickly regained control of most of France after returning to the Louvre.

Instead, it was Louie. Morality. Bourbon, he had just been released, the business time was too short, and this time in order to create chaos, almost all the forces of the Fronde were launched, and the rebellion in Paris and the towns around the Seine, under the fierce counterattack of the army led by Willik, Frode, and Van Rent, was greatly damaged, and the power of the Fronde was much weaker than before.

Hearing these news, Zhang Haoran and others were greatly relieved, they were unwilling to detain the French Queen Mother and Mazarin for too long, because they were worried that officials in various parts of France would lead the country to chaos because of the lack of a leader, but instead cheapened the surrounding countries and the Slingers. Now it seems that the situation is not too bad, because the French Queen Mother and Mazarin have not been away from the core of power for a long time.

At this time, Charles II of England entered France, and since Charles I was guillotined by Cromwell, he has been in exile in various European countries under the protection of some royalists, asking for help.

When Lan Bai heard the news, he had an idea and immediately used the pretext that France had taken in Charles II as an excuse to launch an attack on France.

Now that Mazarin has barely controlled the situation, there is a rebellion of the Fronde Party inside, and there is a personal expedition of Philip IV of Spain to France, if Britain stabs him in the back again, Mazarin may not be able to support it, then the treaty just signed with the current French regime is likely to come to naught.

Zhang Haoran asked Zheng Jie to personally go to the Grape Battleship to command and liaise, and at the same time personally boarded Lan Bai's flagship, ready to stop his actions, but, can it be stopped?
