The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 283 Orleans Dynasty

The Principality of Brittany has always had a close relationship with the British government, and many of the key government officials themselves are children of the British dignitaries, so the annexation process went very smoothly.

However, when Queen Victoria wanted to follow suit and annex the larger French kingdom, she was resisted by the Bourbon dynasty.

Due to the inability of the Bourbon dynasty to resist the military threat of the British army, it began to let the suppressed nationalist ideology of the people develop and spread.

The British government headed by Queen Victoria was furious after discovering it, and simply acted first, directly abolishing the Bourbon dynasty with the right of the suzerain.

The United Kingdom put a lot of effort into the vassal of the Kingdom of France. When Queen Victoria turned her face, most of the provincial troops of the Kingdom of France changed and became members of the British army.

Queen Victoria intended to unite the kingdoms of England and France directly, following the example of the annexation of the Duchy of Brittany.

The Bourbon dynasty, which had no military power, began to contact the revolutionary organization in Paris in a panic, and the Jacobins, who were hunted down like bereaved dogs, became the guests of the Bourbon dynasty.

At the same time, the Duke of Orleans, who held military power, was also drawn aside by the Bourbon dynasty.

In the shortest possible time, the capital of Paris gathered a group of National Guard recruited by the Jacobins.

More than 10 National Guards and the all-powerful Duke of Orleans joined forces to block the British attack.

After World War I, the attacking British army was defeated, but the National Guard who had been sold by the Duke of Orleans suffered heavy losses, and the two sides were considered a draw.

This scene made Queen Victoria realize that it was difficult for Britain to annex the Kingdom of France by military force alone.

Because Queen Victoria found that the morale of a large number of French soldiers in the British army was low when fighting, and desertion was very serious.

This is the cauldron for the spread of nationalist ideology.

Otherwise, how could the British army with more advanced weapons and better training fail?
If it weren't for the Duke of Orleans' malice towards the Jacobins, the National Guard would have been sold out, and the main force of the British army would have been crushed in this battle.

Of course, it was the French army controlled by the British who attacked Paris, and the real core elite still hadn't set out in Brittany.

These tens of thousands of elite British troops are the foundation of the Victorian government, and Queen Victoria will not send them out unless it is absolutely necessary.

This battle made the Victorian government understand that they must use other means to disintegrate the increasingly powerful French government.

Therefore, the ambition of the Duke of Orleans and the malice towards the Jacobins became the breakthrough point of the Victorian government.

At the same time that the British mainland entered the era of warlords due to the fact that various British troops joined the Commonwealth of England, a good show was staged on the French mainland.

First, the Duke of Orleans agitated the Bourbon dynasty, exaggerated the dangers of the revolutionary organization led by the Jacobins with alarmist talk, and made the Bourbon dynasty think that with the support of the Orleans army, the growing Jacobins could be suppressed again.

As a result, a series of operations by the Bourbon dynasty led to a major uprising led by the Jacobins in Paris...

The Bourbons were massacred that very day by armed mobs who stormed the palace.

The Duke of Orleans took advantage of the measures of the Jacobins in Paris to slaughter the king, took advantage of the righteousness, and led his army to attack the city of Paris.

The elite National Self-Defense Forces of the Jacobin faction were all destroyed before. This uprising mainly relied on armed citizens, so naturally it could not defeat the elite French army under the command of the Duke of Orleans.

As a result, the National Guard in blue lost to the French army in white again.

The Bourbon royal family completely lost their crown in this uprising, and even few blood descendants survived.

The Duke of Orleans, who suppressed the rebellion, quickly reached a peace agreement with the Victorian government, and with the support of the Victorian government, he took the crown of France!

This time, the Orleans version of France received the blessing of the Victorian government as an equal ally.

The price was to cede half of France to the Victorian government!
After the Duke of Orleans became the royal family of Orleans, he immediately joined forces with the Victorian government to suppress the civil Jacobins. The severely damaged Jacobins and French nationalism fell into a trough again...

The Duke of Orleans and the Victorian government became the biggest winners.

With this close cooperation, the Orléans dynasty soon united with the Victorian government and declared war on the Spanish government, which had been protesting and condemning there.

The reason is simple, the Spanish royal family is a branch of the Bourbon dynasty!
After seeing that the British mainland entered the warlord era, the Spanish royal family unilaterally tore up the previous covenant with the United Kingdom, no longer acted as the younger brother of the British, and self-righteously took back the share given to the British in the maritime trade.

This move naturally angered the Victorian government, but the Victorian government was still fantasizing about embezzling France before, so it didn't have the energy to deal with the Spanish royal family.

After the Spanish royal family got rid of the identity of the British younger brother, the Bourbon dynasty was massacred in France because of the Duke of Orleans' behavior, and the Duke of Orleans was condemned diplomatically in an insulting manner.

Cursing the Duke of Orleans as a dog of the Bourbon dynasty, who dared to devour his lord...

In addition, the Spanish royal family is still advocating the illegitimacy of the Orleans Dynasty, so that the Orleans Dynasty's orthodoxy in France has never been recognized by a large number of people.

Of course, the Orleans dynasty itself was not as orthodox as the Bourbon dynasty, and there were even calls among the people to call on the Bourbon branch of the Spanish royal family to send a descendant of blood to take over the French crown.

Who told the Orleans dynasty to cede half of France to the Victorian government?
This is not a cession of a vassal state. The Victorian government has begun to integrate European territories at this time, trying to turn this place into the new British mainland, and then seek a plan to counterattack the British Isles.

Although the British Empire has lost its homeland, their navy has not suffered any losses. As long as the British Royal Navy is loyal to Queen Victoria for one day, the territory where the sun never sets will not shrink.

After all, this world is different from Yuri’s previous life at the same time. The British Empire has become so strong that no one can compete with them for colonies...

Before the fall of the British Empire, the overseas colonies of the European powers were either annexed by the British, or they were encouraged by the British to go out independently...

The navy has even implemented the double-power standard, that is, it exceeds the sum of the navies of the second and third European powers.

With such a powerful British Empire, as long as there are no internal problems, it is impossible for the overseas colonies to collapse.

In addition, the national ideology of this era was mainly spread in mainland Europe and had not yet spread overseas, so the empire on which the sun never sets is still alive and well.
