The British East India Company's Merchant Pavilion, Lieutenant Colonel Mills, the counselor of the Merchant Pavilion, was no longer arrogant to Ye Kai, because he found that even the daughter of the Indian Governor had a look of admiration for Ye Kai.

What surprised him even more was that the Indian Governor's Office had directly convicted Lieutenant Edward, so that Lieutenant Edward, who was killed by Ye Kai, was not a decent British Army officer, but a wanted criminal, and it seemed that he was going to get acquainted with this Oriental man again!

In the backyard of the Merchant Mansion, a simple dinner had just ended, Ye Kai picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and by the way, he observed Mr. Todd, who was sitting opposite him.

Perhaps having lived in Russia for a long time, the appearance and even the voice of Mr. Todd Jr. have been Russified.

He had a slender and thick beard, and he spoke a little fast, and his voice was a little hoarse and low, sounding like a rebel officer.

Although the figure is not very tall and strong, it always shows a desire to rush up and find something to do!

"Her Majesty the Empress particularly admired the talents of Her Excellency the Marquis, and she often said that if only there could be a great scientist like His Excellency the Marquis among us Russians!

For this reason, His Majesty also specially selected dozens of very intelligent schoolchildren from the Tatar tribes in various places, hoping to cultivate a great scientist as well! ”

Ye Kai smiled noncommittally, he even suspected that this Russified Englishman was making fun of him, everyone knew what kind of life the Tatars were living under the pressure of the tsar, and how low their status was!

By the way, it seems that just more than ten years ago, a big event happened, that is, Wu Baxi, who was written in the history books of later generations, led the Oirat Mongolian Turghut Department to return to the east.

Catherine II was extremely dissatisfied with this incident, and regarded it as a great shame for the Tsarist Romanov family, and she was even ready to go to war directly with the Qing Dynasty, but in the end she gave up because of her limited strength.

Because the war with the Turks had already beaten Tsarist Russia to the ground, they simply did not have the financial resources to start a war with the Qing Dynasty.

Jenna on the side saw that Ye Kai didn't match Mr. Todd's words, so she got up with a smile and poured Ye Kai a glass of wine.

"It's true, Her Majesty admires the most is your invention of diethylxmorphine and berberine hydrochloride, she said that this is an epoch-making invention, but unfortunately, these two drugs are currently too expensive in Russia!

Not only could ordinary people not afford it, but even ordinary nobles could hardly accept this price, and those profiteers from Prussia and the Netherlands were really hateful! ”

Ye Kai understood a little, this guy came for his medicine, and he looked at Mr. Little Todd and shook his head.

"It's hateful, indeed, but I'm afraid I can't help much, because the patents for these two drugs are licensed to the King's Pharmaceutical Factory in London, Paris and Vienna!"

After taking a sip of wine, Mr. Todd said faintly: "Mr. Zinedin, the Russians are not our Britons, they still retain serfdom, do you think they will care about patents?" ”

Ye Kai looked at Mr. Little Todd thoughtfully, "Since the Russians don't care about patents, you can just copy it, don't tell me, you can't imitate it, for a country, it's not too difficult, it's just a matter of taking some time!" ”

Little Mr. Todd pondered for a moment, then showed a Russian smile, "Although the Russians don't care about patents, the Romanovs still need them, so we still want your authorization!" ”

Ye Kai nodded, he understood, today's Russia is a desolate and barbaric existence in the eyes of Western Europeans, although under the strong promotion of Peter the Great and Catherine II, the image of the Russians has changed slightly.

But if they now ignore patents, I'm afraid they will scare away the weak scientific atmosphere in China.

But they can't do without these two medicines, because if they can't produce them themselves, others can easily raise the price and suck countless gold and silver out of Russia!

So they thought of Ye Kai and wanted to get the patent authorization from Ye Kai, as for whether this authorization is valid, it is a confused account, but no matter what, people always respect the patent right!

It's an opportunity, and there's a lot to be gained!

After only a few spins in his head, Ye Kai decided to give the medicine to the Russians!

Anyway, he is not going to go to Europe, and now France is estimated to have become a crater, and it is estimated that he does not care about whether the patent is legal or not, and the Russians will definitely have to pay the price for getting the patent, what should they want?

Silver?

It doesn't mean much, there are no international banks or anything in this era, Russia is more than 108,000 miles across the South Seas, and when the gold and silver arrive, the daylilies will be cold, and as far as the Russians are poor and sour now, they can't afford to pay much money!

Don hippos? Cossack cavalry? Ye Kai touched his chin and thought about it, although the Don hippopotamus looks like a monster, if it is used as a war horse, it seems that it is far less good than the Andalusian horse and the Tianzhu folded ear horse.

Cossack cavalry? Ye Kai nodded secretly, this is okay, anyway, what he lacks now is cavalry!

And the Cossack cavalry had ready-made ones, just in the northeast, after the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu, their range of activity was limited, and now they did not harass the borders of the Manchus so much, but went to the Tutumen River to harass the Korean Li Dynasty, and some went to Sakhalin, and there were quite a few conflicts with the Japanese.

The Japanese are okay to say, they can still resist one or two, but the Koreans on the Tumen River can be harassed miserably, these Cossacks and Maozi musketeers are often in groups of eight, and groups of ten constantly cross the Tumen River to harass the Korean border residents, they are fast and gunless, and the Korean border people are not opponents at all.

Anyway, after helping Nguyen Phuc Anh defeat the pirates recruited by the Xishan Dynasty, Ye Kai wants to send ships to survey hydrology and explore shipping lanes in various coastal areas of China, and he can directly ask Catherine II for an order to get some Maozi musketeers and Cossacks from the north, and treat them as cannon fodder!

After thinking about it, Ye Kai also thought of a Polish hussar that was constantly mythologized.

Anyway, this big bobo is too miserable now, they have already been divided once, and now they are about to be divided for the second time!

Because the small aristocrats and merchants of Poland began to connect again, hoping to restore the Kingdom of Poland, this would of course attract the beating of the three countries of Russia, Prussia and Austria!

Of course, as one of the symbols of Poland, the hussars will naturally be cleaned up by the Russian-Austrian powers, and after the partition of Poland, they even wanted to break the tradition of the hussars, but they did not succeed.

Today's Polish hussars have evolved into cavalry that can charge the wall like lancers, or engage in hand-to-hand combat with sabers and two flint flint guns.

Their combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the Cossacks, and even after the establishment of Soviet Russia, they were able to beat up the Red Army cavalry and Cossacks.

And now for Ye Kai, he also needs to reserve cavalry, from ancient times to the present, there are not many successful dynasties in China from south to north.

And successful models, such as Hongwu Taizu, all have a cavalry in their hands that is far superior to the northern regime, and if there is no cavalry, I am afraid that they will end up with a fiasco like Yuanjia's Northern Expedition and Duanping's entry into Luo.

But Ye Kai now has neither officers who can train cavalry, nor ready-made cavalry to use, if he can recruit a Polish cavalry of three to four hundred people, it will be the best choice!

Or one or two hundred people, Ye Kai recruited some cuirassier officers from France, plus some Maozi Cossacks, and after the restoration of half of the south of the Yangtze River, he recruited twisters who were good at riding horses from the Huaixi region, which had begun to take shape, and trained an elite cavalry whose combat effectiveness was better than that of the Hongwu Emperor period.

If you use them to attack the Manchurian Eight Banners, then the Manchu infantry will not be able to defeat Ye Kai, and the cavalry will not be able to defeat you, then the big thing will be decided!

Hussars? Little Mr. Todd and Jenna looked at each other in surprise, and then they both nodded again.

If they can send some of these thorns away from the Polish plains, they are also willing, as for the unwillingness to leave their homeland, hehe, can they leave it?

"Although it is subject to the approval of Her Majesty the Empress, I can promise you here personally, Your Excellency the Marquis, I think your wish will come true!" Little Mr. Todd stood up and stretched out his hand to Ye Kai.

"However, there may be a little change in time, after all, Poland is not close to the east, and besides, it's best for you to handle the war horse yourself!"

"That's good! After getting the first first batch of fifty cavalrymen, I will sign this patent, and of course you must tell the Empress that the drugs produced by the Moscow Pharmaceutical Factory are only allowed to be sold in Russia! ”

"As for the war horse, I think Jenna can help me get a little bit of a Tianzhu Folded Ear Horse, right?"
