Chapter 1275: Still a biological father (second update, please subscribe)
While the British were grieving over the "offense" of the Boers and loudly claiming revenge, Emperor Zhu Da of the Ming Empire was meeting his old lover in Paris.
No, at this moment, they were cheering for the conflict in the Transvaal.
"Your Majesty, is this your gift?"
In the palace, Judy looked at Emperor Zhu in front of her and asked a little doubtfully.
"It's not a gift, it's just a mouthful. If we want to defeat the British, we must do our best to weaken their power, and the Transvaal is just the first step, the first step to weaken the country."
Emperor Zhu Da explained with a smile.
"But the population of the Transvaal is so small. Even if a war breaks out between them and Britain, how can it weaken its power?"
Emperor Zhu Da did not find anything surprising about Judy's judgment. After all, the whole world had misjudged the Boers.
"The Boers...well, their number is indeed small, but what we must note is that maybe the Boers come from the Netherlands, but they are definitely different from the Dutch."
After a pause, Emperor Zhu continued to explain.
"The British ignored the unique national characteristics of the Boers in South Africa. After more than a hundred years of suffering, the Boers were far less gentle than their Dutch relatives, who valued business over martial arts. The dry and barren South African plateau, the displaced people
The Great Migration and countless cruel wars with the natives have tempered and reshaped their character. The Boers are conservative in character, hardworking, frugal in life, advocating force, unwilling to accept alien rule, and have little regard for their own language, culture, and religion.
and other national characteristics, always have a sense of pride. This is also a common character of people in remote areas far away from the center of civilization, such as the western United States, western Australia, and northern Argentina. The British faced a group of brave and fighting people, and their resistance was bound to be
Teach the British a painful lesson!"
Emperor Zhu Da said with a slight smile.
"I believe that if the British want to conquer them, it will take at least two to three years and more than 100 million pounds in military expenditure. By then, we will be facing an opponent whose strength has been seriously depleted..."
Are the Boers really that capable of fighting?
The British ignored the character of the Boers. It should be said that almost the whole world ignored this, except for one person - the Emperor Zhu in front of them.
While looking at him, a "rumor" that she heard a few years ago emerged in Judy's mind - someone suggested at that time that in order to strengthen the relationship between the French Empire and the Ming Empire, they hoped that he would marry the Ming Empire.
Princess, but this suggestion was rejected by her mother. As for the reason for the rejection, it seemed legitimate. The Queen of the Ming Empire was a member of the Napoleonic family. In order to avoid the possible harm caused by the marriage of close relatives, after all, there were lessons learned from the marriage of close relatives in the Spanish Empire royal family.
It's there, so this reason is normal.
However, it was also at that time that a secret began to spread among the upper classes in Paris - Queen Eugenie was Emperor Zhu's lover.
Is his mother his lover?
And as early as during the Franco-Prussian War, he won the favor of his mother for saving Paris. They were inseparable and lingering in the Louvre. Some people even speculated that he, Emperor Napoleon V, was not the child of Emperor Napoleon III, because
At that time, his father, Emperor Napoleon III, was in the fortress on the front line. He was probably a bloodline of Emperor Zhu Da.
Judy really didn't know about this, and no one dared to talk about it.
Of course, there are many disputes at the widow's door. In the past few years, countless people have spread rumors about Empress Eugenie's lovers, and all of them are based on rumors.
But it's definitely not as true as this.
Judy naturally did not dare to verify this matter, and even believed it in her heart, because he could see that every time her mother received his letter, the joy and joy flashed in her eyebrows, which was difficult to see normally.
He even remembered that when he was a child, his mother had accidentally revealed that his father knew him well and knew what toys he liked.
But God knows that his father had passed away at that time. And where did all his toys come from? They all came from the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the ocean.
His father...the toys his father gave him. Those toys he played with when he was a child were...all given by his father.
How is this possible?
Is his father really not his father?
Is Emperor Zhu really my biological father?
But all this is just speculation. As for the rumors outside the palace, as long as they are not explained and ignored, no one will care about them soon.
But... all the doubts were solved with this visit of Emperor Zhu - he was indeed my mother's lover.
As the emperor of the empire, Judy knew about his stay at his mother's place.
Faced with this fact, Judy panicked, but even though he was worried, he still agreed with it. After all, like his brother Ou Ren, he had always regarded Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty as his idol. Who wouldn't want to have
A father who is both civil and military?
However, you can’t admit it even to death, and you definitely can’t talk about it!
However, when he saw Emperor Zhu Da again, Judy's eyes were a little awkward and she didn't even have the intention to listen to what he had to say. He recalled that when he was a child, he always received various toys from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there were
Although his letters did not reveal too much love and were more about education, his kindness and guidance were completely different from others, and the emotions and longings revealed in his words were also undisguised.
Judy recalled her mother's joy when she got along with Emperor Zhu, and it was hard to conceal. They were not just old friends, they were really lovers!
In fact, Judy did not object to her mother's private meeting with Emperor Zhu. This is normal among royal families in Europe.
But this matter involves my life experience.
However, Judy was also a little panicked in her heart! This matter must not be blown away, and of course she couldn't stop it.
Alas, my father seems to have no impression of me...
For this reason, Judy even went to see the portrait of Napoleon III and looked in the mirror for comparison. After comparing for a long time, Judy didn't find anything like him at all. His face shape and appearance completely inherited his mother's.
However, he felt that his eyebrows were a bit imaginary like Oren's, and his mouth looked more like Emperor Zhu.
After looking in the mirror for a long time, Judy came to a conclusion.
Napoleon III is not my biological father!
But I am the emperor of the French Empire. This crown was passed down from my father to my brother, and my brother passed it on to me. Well, my brother and I have the same mother, so this crown originally belonged to me.
Well, that's the truth...
However, my own father suffered a lot!
He was the only one who noticed things that the whole world didn't notice. No wonder his brother regarded him as his idol when he was alive.
My dad is so awesome!
For Judy, who lost his father and brother when he was young, he had always regarded Emperor Zhu as his idol, but now? His idol has become his father, which feels good!
"Well, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
"Gonghuo!"
Emperor Zhu Da smiled slightly.
"Although the British are now negotiating with the Transvaal, one thing that is certain is that the negotiations are just buying time for them to mobilize their troops. All we need is to provide fire! By providing the Transvaal with
Weapons make this war more intense,"
"Haha, I understand, it's a bit like the British supporting the Spanish back then."
Judy clapped her hands and said a little excitedly.
"When Emperor Napoleon I occupied Pangaea, the British provided weapons to the Spanish, which ultimately led to the failure of the French Empire in Spain. Now, we are just repeating it..."
