Chapter 931 Make Rose Great Again

1815 10 Month 12 Day.

As the warships carrying Napoleon were destined to sail towards Saint Helena in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Vienna Peace Conference, after more than three months of arguments, finally came to a close.

At this conference, Mo Gongze, who single-handedly won the Waterloo-Lanshofen battle of this timeline, gained immense influence and even received a title.

Arbitrator Ferdinand!

At this juncture, European power took a significant step toward Austria.

This delighted the Austrian nobles and citizens, as if the glory of the Habsburg family had returned.

With benefits to be had and a share to be had, their support for Mogongze naturally rose to a new level, finally allowing Mogongze to exercise the power of the Austrian regent.

The first priority of the peace conference was the treatment of the defeated nations.

Tsarist Rus' Empire: Tsar Alexander I was forced to abdicate, and his brother, Grand Duke Constantine, succeeded him as the new Tsar.

This caused quite a stir, because Archduke Constantine had a very good relationship with his father, Paul I, and therefore was extremely disgusted by his brother Alexander I's act of patricide.

He refused to accept the throne, which was stained with the blood of his father, Paul I, which greatly embarrassed those who had supported him.

However, the Tsarist Rus' Empire at this time was not the powerful European gendarme of history; they were a defeated nation comparable to France.

Grand Duke Constantine hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, under the threat of the Romanov family's survival, he accepted the urging to ascend the throne and become the new Tsar.

After electing a new Tsar, the Rus' Empire immediately began a brutal process of self-destruction.

The territory was divided along the Tsaritsyn (Stalingrad) line, with all land south of the Volga and Don rivers, as well as the Crimean Peninsula, ceded to the Seres Empire.

This means that the Tsarist Rus' Empire has completely lost all the lands along the Caspian Sea coast and the Crimean Peninsula in the Black Sea.

At the same time, the region north of the Caucasus, which later became the three republics of Kalmykia, Dagestan, and Chechnya, the two krais of Kraslodar and Stavropol, and parts of Rostov Oblast, were all lost.

In addition, Kazan was separated and the Kazan Khanate was established. The Khan of Kazan could be appointed by the Tsarist Rus' Empire, but he had to obtain the consent of Emperor Seres first.

The eastern and southern sides of the Urals, including Tyumen, Omsk, Kurgan, and Orenburg, were also seceded, establishing the Grand Duchy of the Urals.

Since the word "Ula" was borrowed by the Rus' people from the Mongols, and its original meaning refers to high mountains or mountain ranges, this grand duchy was also known as the High Mountain Grand Duchy.

The Grand Duke of the Ural Grand Duchy is Mo Zhouhuan, the sixth son of the Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty, who has remained unmarried since losing his wife four years ago.

Mo Zhouhuan's maternal grandfather was Tushetu Khan of the Northern Desert, who was highly respected among the Mongols and was undoubtedly the most suitable person to rule a territory like the Grand Duchy of the Urals.

At the same time, in order to keep the Rus' people in check and prevent them from exploding immediately, Mo Zibu arranged for Mo Zhouhuan to marry the sister of the former Tsar Alexander I, who was also the current Tsar Constantine.

Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna of the Rus' Empire, who is only twenty years old this year.

Mo Zibu also specially promoted Mo Zhouhuan's title from Duke of Zhao to King of Zhao, so that this Grand Duchess of Russ could obtain the title of Queen Consort of Zhao.

In Europe, the Tsarist Rus' Empire lost all the territories it had acquired in the three partitions of Poland, and all the Austrian Galicia and Bohemia it had seized were returned.

The Tsar was also forced to relinquish his title of Grand Duke of Finland, thus losing the Grand Duchy of Finland.

This was a bad situation for Europe, as the Tsarist Rus' Empire not only had to give up Warsaw and Lithuania, which it had already acquired.

Belarus, which is 100% part of the Rus' cultural sphere in the minds of later generations, and with Minsk at its head, was actually acquired after the partition of Poland.

In other words, the Tsarist Rus' Empire also lost most of Belarus.

However, this outcome is not the worst, because according to Mozibu's original plan, the Tsarist Rus' Empire was to be directly divided into more than a dozen grand duchies.

However, this was met with vigilance from all of Europe. When Mogünzer made a private attempt to probe the issue, he was met with unanimous opposition from various countries. Representatives of major powers such as Britain, France, and Prussia refused to discuss the topic in formal settings.

The newly appointed Tsar Constantine I also made it clear in St. Petersburg that if the Vienna Peace Conference were to dismantle the Rus' Empire, then the 20 million Rus' people would be determined to defend the empire with their lives.

This is actually a reflection of the fact that the strength of the Great Yu Dynasty was far from sufficient to control Europe.

After more than 300,000 troops marched into Moscow, they had to retreat to Kazan as soon as possible. This shows that the Rus' Empire was not that powerful, and also proves that the Great Yu at this stage was not capable of destroying the Rus' Empire.

So in the end, Mo Gongze had no choice but to personally step forward and 'refute the rumors'.

This indicates that the Seres Empire has no intention of interfering in Europe, and all previous claims about the dismantling of the Rus Empire were merely idle rumors.

At this point, the hardliners in the Da Yu delegation who advocated dividing the Tsarist Rus' Empire abandoned their unrealistic ideas.

They instead supported the strategy advocated by Tao Shu and others, which was to adopt a relatively moderate approach and not to excessively provoke European countries.

This allowed the Tsarist Rus' Empire to retain important cities such as Rostov and Kiev, as well as most of the land on the northern coast of the Black Sea, even though it lost a large amount of territory.

It even preserved two of the three Polish territories—Estonia and North and South Latvia—which are of great strategic value in protecting St. Petersburg.

It belongs to the least bad of a bunch of worst outcomes.

French Empire: The title of Empire was abolished, the Kingdom of France was restored, and all lands acquired during the Napoleonic Wars were stripped away.

At the same time, it lost the Rhineland region of Alsace and paid European countries war reparations amounting to 300 million francs, equivalent to 12 million pounds sterling and 42 million silver dollars.

The Kingdom of England acquired the South African colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and most of the colonies of the Kingdom of France in the Caribbean.

Meanwhile, the newly formed Kingdom of the Greater Netherlands was no longer ruled by Mogongze, but by his wife, Princess Mary of England, who became Queen of the Netherlands.

In compensation, Maurice received the title of Prince of Orange and continued to serve as Prince of Belgium as a concubine.

At the same time, Mogonzee also received the Grand Duchy of Berg, headed by Düsseldorf, which is the territory in western Germany that is close to the Netherlands and Belgium in later times.

Furthermore, due to a promise made to Li Xingtai, Mo Gongze relinquished his title as Duke of Luxembourg.

He transferred the Duchy of Luxembourg and part of the territory of the Duke of Limburg to Li Xingtai's fourth son, Li Jinyuan.

In the future, Li Jinyuan will marry Princess Marie, the eldest daughter born to Mo Gongze, and establish a small Chinese country that Europeans call the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and Dayu calls the Lu (Duke) Kingdom.

Originally, the title of King of the Greater Netherlands should definitely belong to Mogongze, but difficulties were encountered during the formation process.

It turns out that among the Dutch-speaking Dutch people, the Upper Netherlands, which is the Netherlands, has always been the dominant ethnic group in Dutch, while the Armandes of the Lower Netherlands are marginalized.

Therefore, the Dutch could not accept the Belgians taking the lead, while the Belgians, who were mainly Armandes, were able to accept a relatively subordinate position.

Furthermore, Moggalljee's dual role as king of multiple countries drew strong opposition from countries such as England, France, and Prussia, ultimately leading him to relinquish his throne as King of the Netherlands.

Austria's side: All the land lost in the Napoleonic Wars was recovered, and it received a large area of ​​territory in south-central Poland.

The Swiss Confederation was once again placed under Habsburg rule, but was not incorporated into Austria.

In addition, the Italian side established the Venetian Principality in the region centered around Venice, with the King of Austria concurrently serving as the Prince of Venice, effectively bringing the Veneto region of northern Italy under the control of the Kingdom of Austria.

As a gift from Austria-Hungary in establishing the United Kingdom, the Kingdom of Austria also received Slovakia, formerly part of Hungary, headed by Pozzoni (Bratislava).

The Western Xia Kingdom, which was renamed from the Kingdom of Hungary, expanded to an unprecedented size, acquiring Moldavia, Wallachia, Bessarabia, and part of Bulgaria.

That is equivalent to half the territory of modern Romania plus Moldova and Bulgaria.

These territories were temporarily governed by Mo Gongze's cousin, the son-in-law of the abdicated Emperor Franz I of Austria, and the King of Da Yu Liao, Mo Zhouzhan. As for the Kingdom of Prussia, which had wavered in its resolve during the Battle of Lanshofen and almost turned against the enemy, it suffered a great loss.

They only received a small portion of the German states' territory, including the Archdiocese of Cologne, and were forced to relinquish the Polish territories they had partitioned. The disputed territory of Schleswig, bordering Denmark, was also ceded to Denmark.

This treatment was too poor. Frederick William III left before the conference ended. Many people advised Mognon not to treat Prussia so harshly, because the lesson of Napoleon was still fresh in everyone's mind.

But Moggenberg was determined to provoke Prussia. He wasn't Napoleon and had no ambition to unify Europe. He only wanted to use the Holy Roman Empire to control the German states, so he had to defeat Prussia, the big brother of Germany.

The best solution is to treat Prussia harshly until he finally snaps and speaks out.

Besides the partitioning among these major powers, the Vienna Peace Conference also saw significant changes in other areas.

Mo Gongze's half-brother, Mo Gongbo, successfully "got in at the table," conquered the Lombardy region, and became the Prince of Lombardy under the United Kingdom of Osha.

The Kingdom of Poland, centered in Warsaw, was restored and its territory expanded considerably, encompassing Lithuania and most of Belarus, with Minsk as its core.

The King of the Kingdom of Poland was Frederick William, Prince of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who was a staunch supporter of Mogonze.

This Polish kingdom, which had almost completely revived the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, became a thorn in the side between Prussia and Tsarist Russia.

In order to compensate the Saxon-Wettin dynasty, the holder of the Polish throne recognized by the Polish parliament, the Saxon kingdom, which was originally to be abolished, was retained.

The Kingdom of Sweden reclaimed Finland, which had been seized by Tsarist Russia during the war, as well as part of Russian-held Finland that originally belonged to Tsarist Russia, and established a new Grand Duchy of Finland, with King Moghan of Sweden concurrently serving as Grand Duke of Finland.

As for the question of Spain, it was not discussed at all at the Vienna Peace Conference.

But this is not a bad thing, but a good thing; it is tacit approval.

Because the liberals, who were supported by Da Yu and represented the small and medium-sized landowners and petty bourgeoisie in Spain, were much stronger than the current Spanish conservatives.

Not only because Da Yu would support the Spanish liberals, but also because the liberals, apart from lacking much military force, are actually an indispensable, even backbone, force in Spanish society.

Otherwise, given the historical context of being besieged and suppressed by reactionary forces from both within and outside the powerful aristocracy, the Spanish liberals could not have persisted for so long.

Not discussing the Spanish issue means that none of the continental European countries supported Ferdinand VII and the Spanish Noble Council.

Without external assistance, this outwardly strong but inwardly weak and decadent Spanish class will not last long at all.

Portugal's problem, however, is much simpler.

Because Queen Mary I of Portugal was in Dayu.

Eight years ago, after the cuckoo prince Mo Zhouyao brought Queen Mary here, she has never left.

Queen Mary and part of the royal family are currently recuperating in Jinzhou (Dalian), where the climate is similar to that of Portugal. Mo Zibu even built the Forget-Me-Not Palace for her, which is much better than the hot Brazil.

These people have long been so engrossed in their work that they've forgotten all about Portugal.

So the problem in Portugal now is not that Queen Mary I opposes the Great Yu.

Instead, the Queen's son in Brazil, Prince João, refused to acknowledge the previously agreed-upon agreement to bestow the title of Duke of Brazil upon the Cuckoo Prince, citing Queen Mary's supposed madness.

"Prince João had no choice; the Portuguese royal family's undignified escape deeply hurt the Portuguese people."

I don't think they would get much support even if they went back, especially since the English don't really want the Portuguese royal family to return.

Therefore, all Prince João can hold onto is Brazil; once he relinquishes Brazil, he will have nothing left.

At his private residence in Vienna, Mo Gongze was surrounded by his mixed-race brothers, chatting with King Mo Guangbi of Sweden.

Having already risen to power, making his brothers green with envy, Prince Morgenpo of Lombardy chuckled and said:
"Actually, if we were willing to put in the effort to get the English out of Portugal, Prince João would probably still be willing to leave Brazil."

Mo Gongze remained noncommittal, instead turning to his elder brother Mo Gongdan beside him, "What does Lao Ba think? Does he want Portugal or Brazil?"

The eighth brother Mo Gongze mentioned was the Cuckoo Prince. Although Mo Zirong had adopted him to Mo Zibu, Mo Gongze still treated the Cuckoo Prince as his own brother and even ranked him in order.

Mo Gongdan's mother was a maidservant of Mo Gongze's mother. In the terms of Dayu, she was a high-ranking maidservant. Although they were close, her low social status made it unlikely that she could obtain the throne.

So five years ago, Mo Gongdan, who was of average ability and roughly at the level of a captain in the Great Yu Navy, followed the Cuckoo Prince in order to obtain a title in Brazil, where identity and bloodline were not so sensitive.

"Old Eight wants Spain!" Mo Gongdan replied, barely able to contain himself.

Upon hearing this answer, Mo Gongze almost laughed out of anger.

"Tell him it's Brazil, don't overthink it!"

The Kingdom of Spain was established by the Fifth Uncle Emperor to test how much resistance European nobles and commoners had to a pure-blooded Han Chinese king. Therefore, the king had to be a pure-blooded prince, preferably one of 100% Han Chinese descent.

"Big brother, you should get ready and set off. Let's gather a few thousand mercenaries for Lao Ba and send him to Brazil to fight a civil war with Prince João."

As for Portugal, leave them to the English for now. Advising them to leave now would be a favor we're doing them. Once they can't stay any longer and start to rebel, they'll naturally leave.

Just as the Moggenberg brothers were celebrating their great victory and beginning to build a new Habsburg family, the European countries were also quite provoked by the spies planted by the Moggenbergs.

The Duke of Wellington met with the Prime Minister of England, Robert Banks Jenkinson, the 2nd Earl of Liverpool, at Downing Street.

"England cannot remain subservient forever, and we cannot stand firmly against the Seres Empire as long as we remain dependent on our Indian colonies."

Therefore, after I go to New England this time, I will, with the cooperation of the Seres army, strike hard against those traitors and mobs in the United States, but I will also give them some hope.

Hopefully, when faced with the danger of extinction, they will recognize reality and return to the embrace of the United Kingdom.

We can only truly become strong when we regain New England.

Upon hearing the Duke of Wellington's words, a fleeting, amused expression crossed the Prime Minister's face.

Why do some people always think that the United Kingdom couldn't control New England because it couldn't win on the battlefield?

However, he wasn't going to try to persuade him; since the Duke of Wellington was willing to do it, then let him do it.

If it goes wrong, the Duke of Wellington is guilty; if it goes well, he, as Prime Minister, is credited for his support.

Even the Prime Minister himself is unsure how many more years he can remain in the position, or whether he will ever see the outcome.

So why is she worrying about things so far ahead?

In Berlin, King Frederick William III of Prussia brought his cousin, the former Prince of Orange of the Netherlands, who had lost his throne, and his family to settle down.

The king was burning with rage and vowed to get revenge and teach Mo Gongze a lesson.

In St. Petersburg.

Tsar Constantine, who had only been in office for a few months, looked at his younger brother Nikolai Pavlovich, who was known in history as Tsar Nikolai I.

“My brother, Nikolai,” Constantine murmured, his face ashen.

“I have signed such a humiliating treaty that has ceded our sovereignty and national dignity, and this will allow all the anger and humiliation of the Rus’ people to be vented on me.”

My future is bleak; I may not even be able to ascend to heaven after death, but I am willing to bear these burdens for the sake of the Empire and the Romanov family.

But you, Nicholas, have limitless potential. If anything happens to me, you must rule this empire well and make the Rus' people great again!
