After a foolish approach, he finally used very conservative rhetoric to do the most radical thing.

The world will not change because of the actions of one or two monarchs, Liu Yu can only use this conservative remark that seems to protect the country of one family and one surname to try to change the timing of the world.

After thanking him, he was sure that the emperor put away his mind of making money quickly in Songjiang, and Liu Yu was also relieved.

Today's conversation may be the last one he has ever feared in all these years.

He spent almost ten years trying to break the inertia of being able to collect money while sitting at home.

You can collect money by sitting at home, and the only ones who are fat are landlords and second-class dealers.

Dashun did not have the pressure of external competition, the labor cost was only a quarter of that of Britain at this time, and there was no crisis of dumping of external commodities, so it was impossible to expect the landlords and second-hand dealers to sprout up.

It is easy to have the opportunity to break this inertia, let higher profits drive more people to set up handicraft factories, and stimulate the growth of the bourgeoisie by means of active trade and export, if the emperor wants to make money in a short period of time to monopolize Western exports, it will be all over.

Monopoly monopoly, trade initiative in the hands of foreigners, Dashun can not expand the market, Westerners control Dashun's shipments.

The weak bourgeoisie still needs some time to grow up before it can guarantee that the small peasant economy will be crushed by machines in the future, and in the event of a violent uprising in Dashun that is no less than the great uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, Dashun will have a more radical choice besides "conservative retro, destroy factories, and restore the small peasant economy".

There may be a war in the southeast against the whole world, just as Paris against the whole of France.

It may also kill tens of millions of people, but until then, it is necessary to ensure that the east of Malacca is an inland sea, and no external forces can take advantage of the fire to loot.

After finalizing the matter, the emperor showed favor and summoned the captured Renate and a group of Swedish captives.

"Leaves fall back to the roots, human nature. After leaving the country for 30 years, he was first captured by the Rakshasa and then trapped in the quasi-department. The Celestial Empire is merciful, and Zhun Er and others return home. Nian Lena has the merit of offering the copper mine map of Issyk-Kul Lake, and appreciates two silk horses, two brocade horses, gold and silver ......"

After a reward, Renate kowtowed and thanked him, and when Liu Yu came out with them, he was excited.

It's good to go home, of course.

Those rewards, although they are not worth much here, are all tributes in the court of the Celestial Empire, and they are not ordinary market goods when they are obtained in Sweden.

And Renate can be regarded as the first Swede to meet the emperor of the Celestial Empire, and this experience, even if he goes back to write a book, is enough to become a celebrity.

It has been several years since they were captured by Liu Yu on the battlefield, and they have been living in the capital all these years, and they can't find a way.

Although they can also receive some money every month, and they can also chat with the Russians in Yang Erguan Hutong, there is no one to guide them after all, and I don't know if the promise of Liu Yu to let them go home is still counted.

Today, after receiving the reward, Lehnat thought to himself that the people of the Celestial Empire had indeed kept their word.

"Lord Earl, can we go back to our hometown?"

"Of course. Your Majesty will not only allow you to return to your homeland, but will also send a ship to Sweden. At the beginning, I said that you would be allowed to return to China as long as you made clear about the Issyk-Kul copper mine and smelter. I am true to my word. One more ......"

Liu Yu showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "Another one, your artillery skills are outdated." The world is changing too fast, and thirty years is enough time for many technologies to lag behind. ”

Renat did not feel embarrassed, north of the Altai Mountains, he knew that his artillery skills were outdated, and he also knew that Dashun's artillery was strong enough. Dashun is not a Dzungar, there are too many excellent gunners, and he is no longer needed to stay here to cast cannons and work for the new master.

"Yes. The words of the Earl are very true. My gunnery is really outdated. Poor Polshevsky, his Polish lancer technique is not outdated, so he can't return to his homeland yet. I feel lucky for my outdated gunnery. I'm getting old, too, and even if I go back, the king won't recruit me again. ”

The Swedes, who were captured with Renat, were able to return to their homeland by boat. Poor Polshevsky, the Pole who had taught the Dzungars the wedge charge, was now left in the capital, and became a part of the Beijing camp, like the captured Rakshasa Cossacks.

However, he was an officer and was training a spear cavalry for the forbidden army of Dashun. And those Cossacks who did not want to return to Russia could only be incorporated into the ranks as ordinary cavalry or infantry.

These are ordinary people who are bound by fate, but the tragedy of these people can only be blamed on the eastward expansion of Tsarist Russia. None of this would have happened if it hadn't been for the eastward expansion of Tsarist Russia, and Lenate would have returned to Sweden after a few years of service, like those captured in Russia, or...... Go to Siberia to grow rye.

"This time you're going back to Sweden, and you can say goodbye to your Russian friends. His Majesty also arranged for you to be near Yang Erguan Hutong before, also considering that you have been in Russia for many years, and it is inevitable that you will be lonely here. You need to keep this painstaking effort in mind. ”

With a smile, he expressed his goodwill to Renate and others, but what he wanted was to cooperate with the British to make this set of "golden knife plans" more perfect, so that the Russians and the Dutch would believe that the content of the Sino-French secret treaty was in the direction of Russia, not in the direction of the South Seas.

Renate is just an artilleryman, and he doesn't know too much intrigue at all, because Liu Yu is completely kind. Liu Yu said that he was also going to see Hannibal, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, so these people stopped by.

Liu Yu was sure that the Russian envoy would soon know the news that Dashun had released the Swedes to return to China, and that Dashun would send a ship to Sweden.

Sweden, Russia...... These two century-old mortal enemies, Liu Yu is not afraid that the Russian envoy will not think too much.

Riding to Yang Erguan Hutong, the captured Russians had already learned Chinese, but all those who had some skills were picked up by Liu Yu.

Either rye is grown in the whale sea, or war horses are raised in Vladivostok, and some are also at sea, and it is estimated that they may have followed Bering to Seattle by now......

The rest of the young and strong ones have all entered the Beijing camp, and these people have not been eliminated in the military reform, and they have become window dressing similar to the Varangian Guard, so that the emperor can refresh the power of the Son of Heaven and spread the pleasure of the Rakshasas.

Compared with the banned Catholicism, the Orthodox Church in Yang Erguan Hutong is lucky, but there are few letters from people in the capital, and most people can't tell the difference between God and Orthodoxy, for fear of getting themselves into trouble.

Outside the church, Liu Yu met Hannibal, who had just finished evening prayers, and smiled and told him that the Swedes were going back to China.

In the past few years, Hannibal has also taught everything he has learned, and the army has contributed to the reform, and his attainments in fortress engineering are indeed very high, and he is still teaching fortress engineering in the military academy in the capital. It is said that the design of the Dagukou fortress in Tianjin, in terms of technology alone, he is the most suitable candidate, but the emperor has suffered the loss of the missionary drawing, and this kind of thing cannot be handed over to him.

If this was a distrust, it made Hannibal excited, and he believed that Liu Yu's original promise might be fulfilled—that is, when his sister was in danger, he could return to Russia from Dashun to protect his princess.

Men are teenagers until they die, and perhaps there is some truth to this. Even if the news came from the Russian side, the sister he loved and wanted to protect was actually involved with a Ukrainian Cossack......

But it doesn't matter.

After seeing Liu Yu, he greeted him very warmly and expectantly, and invited Liu Yu to his mansion. He, the baron, actually knows in his heart that he is almost the same as the titles of those Khalkha and quasi-ministers, and it is not the same thing at all as an earl like Liu Yu.

In the relatively cramped baron's palace, it is basically in the style of the capital, except for the statue of the Virgin and the window lattice of the cross lattice, it looks like the house of a wealthy man in the capital.

Liu Yu knew that the Russian envoy would definitely inquire about some news from Hannibal, and Hannibal seemed to be doing well, but he was just a middleman and wore a word, and after the French mission finished negotiating, the Russian envoy wanted to meet Liu Yu, but Liu Yu refused because he was sick.

This time when he came to Hannibal, Liu Yu naturally hoped to rely on Hannibal to convey some kind of subtle signal to the Russian envoy.

But this has to be said in reverse.

"These Swedes have had enough, too. First captured by your godfather, and then captured by Dace Zero Dundob. Now it's time for them to go back. ”

"This time they are back in Sweden, and I hope to convey this news to the Russian envoy through you. It is purely a commercial activity and has no other purpose, and it is hoped that Russia will not be overly nervous. ”

"Actually, let's be honest with you, I just want Swedish wood tar distillation technology. As you know, when I build a navy in Weihai, I have to buy asphalt and tar from others, which is really expensive. ”

What he said was basically the truth, which is very rare. Hannibal was very suspicious of the authenticity of Liu Yu's words, the French envoys came vigorously, and the standard of hospitality was so high, could it be that they talked about a few conventions? This is clearly not credible.

It's just that Hannibal doesn't have a lot of affection for the current Russia. He is a black man, and he cannot be said to be Russian, and his feelings for Russia are only in Peter, who is dead, and those godsisters.

A few years have passed, and as soon as Hannibal opened his mouth, it was already a Beijing official dialect mixed with the flavor of Shaanxi.

"Lord Liu, I can only convey it on my behalf, and I can't guarantee whether they believe it or not. You should be well aware of the relations between Russia and Sweden. At this sensitive time, I'm afraid they won't believe it either. ”

The British public's golden knife plan has not yet been staged, and Hannibal now doesn't know that Liu Yu has a Mini bullet in his hand, and Liu Yu doesn't mention it, so he treats it as a friend who hasn't seen him for many years, and drinks a few glasses together.

When the wine slowly came up, Liu Yu pretended to be drunk and muttered: "The firearms of the French are really good." If Dashun can also have craftsmen and gunsmiths like France, this military reform will be smoother. ”

It seemed that he just muttered a sentence in passing, and said some miscellaneous words to deepen Hannibal's impression, Liu Yu sighed again: "The words of the sage are the avenue, and the craftsman's skill is only a small way." It's hard! Difficult! ”

"You know, I asked Renat, when he was at war with Russia, most of them were arquebuses or reed guns. At that time, the Tula Arsenal in Russia had not yet been built. By the time he was captured by the Quasi-Ministry, France had already tried to popularize the bayonet. By the time I caught him, the outside world had changed again. ”

"But what can I do? Is it only through learning and imitation? ”

Muttering a few words of frustration, Hannibal felt slightly that something was not right. This young man who was on the bank of the Heilongjiang River and said to him in high spirits that I came to see me conquer, what stimulated him today, so sighed?

The flintlock pistol, Dashun has been imitated and produced, and now the Dashun military reform is also underway, it is said that Liu Yu should not be so frustrated.

Could it be ...... Something that the French brought this time that shook him up?

The thought flashed through him, and Liu Yu no longer mentioned this matter as if he knew that he had lost his words, but talked about the things that Hannibal was most concerned about, but the Russian envoy might not be interested in.

"By the way, Hannibal, maybe in a few years you too will be able to return to Russia. Your Majesty said that you taught well in the military academy, and those fortress engineering skills were not hidden. I also said a few kind words for you, I am a person who keeps my promises, and I promised that you will translate everything you have learned in the French military academy, and I promise that you can return to China in the future to help your godsister. I'm a man of my word. ”

He didn't want his visit to be a little abrupt, nor did he want this deliberately leaked plan to cooperate with the British Duke seem too deliberate, so he talked about sending Hannibal home...... Assist Elizabeth in the matter of the coup.

After the strategic deception of the secret agreement between China and France this time, Dashun wants to expand in the South Seas, and as soon as the cover period of strategic deception has passed, it needs a slightly more friendly Russia, so that Russia can rest assured that it will make trouble in Europe and make Europe even more chaotic. Compared with Anna I, who now relies on the German Party, Liu Yu is still more optimistic about Peter's daughter Elizabeth.

As for the future threat of Russia, Liu Yu gambled on the railway from Beijing to the Songhua River and Mongolia, which was opened earlier than the Siberian Railway, and he was sure that he could win the bet, rather than fighting a war with high consumption and high supplies in the bitter cold of Siberia with almost no return.
