Chapter 292: Fire Lover (Asking for Support, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Every day in London starts with the same view.
While most people are still asleep, a morning sun leaps over the distant horizon and gilds the thick clouds that envelop the city.
As always, Scheer tightens the laces of his running shoes - there is nothing more suitable for running than this kind of rubber sole shoes, the New World has brought too many new things, and rubber is one of them, in the past few years, rubber is changing people's lives little by little, raincoats, rubber shoes, etc., at least these things have changed the lives of the people of Daming. Perhaps there are also Nanyang Zhuxia - rubber plantations have appeared on the land of Zhuxia one after another.
Of course, Xie Erxin didn't care about all this, he just exercised step by step every day, just like in the Huangpu School in Guangzhou.
Every day he runs like a clock as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, both at home and in London. It's his habit.
After running out of the embassy, Xie Erxin strode away, while thinking, thinking about his work, and soon he ran to the Thames River, where there is always mist, not 3, compared to the city, the air by the river is fresh, at least there is not much horse and livestock dung here, and of course there is no sewage on the streets.
"The country is like a manure pit......"
Thinking of the harsh environment in London, Shel's brows furrowed, staying here for a few years, maybe he would lose his life.
But what can be done?
"You are the first line of defense of the Ming Dynasty!"
This is the mantra of the teachers at Whampoa School.
The school located on Huangpu Island is a special school set up by the Military Officers Department to train intelligence personnel, and many military officers, especially those dispatched to the country, have graduated from that kind of school. After graduating, they were sent to various places, but often for two years of "practice" in Zhuxia before being sent to other regions. Xie Erxin came to the UK three years ago as an embassy officer.
After coming to London, he found that this was a blue ocean at all - the British didn't know what secrecy was, they didn't know what spies were, and they didn't know how to counter-espionage, and a lot of information continued to flow into Scheer's new hands. Although he was not directly related to Da Ming, Xie Erxin knew that what he needed to establish was an intelligence network.
"Any intelligence agent stationed abroad must first establish an intelligence network, and of all intelligence networks, spies who infiltrate the interior are more reliable than those bought by money......
Running on the edge of the river with a brisk rhythm. Once again, Xie Erxin straightened out his work in his mind.
The dive program is being implemented and some of the personnel are already in place.
And also......
After an hour of exercise, Xie Erxin returned to the embassy in a sweat, the so-called embassy is a manor house in the southern suburbs of London, with an area of 30 acres, in fact, just run here, but Xie Erxin prefers to run by the river, which is his habit in Whampoa.
Returned to the embassy and took a simple shower. After a simple breakfast, Xie Erxin came to his office again in good spirits, and after entering the office, he poured a cup of tea, and then took out the information from the safe, and looked at the information he had just obtained one by one.
"It seems that the political situation in London is changing."
Analyzing the information, Schelsin made this judgment, but he was not interested in it, and he was more concerned about when Carlos II of Spain would die than about the political situation in London, the king who was weaned at the age of 5 and did not learn to walk until he was 10 years old due to lameness. Suffering from a variety of genetic diseases, as well as intellectual disability and epilepsy, he is so weak that he could die at any time.
Not only is Schelxin concerned about when Carlos II will die, but the whole of Europe is concerned about his death, because he was diagnosed early on as infertile and could not have children, so who will inherit the Spanish colonial empire has become an important question for Spain and even all of Europe. Two princes were entitled to the Spanish throne: Prince Joseph Ferdinand of Bavaria (grandson of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I) and Archduke Karl of Austria (second son of Leopold I). Their succession was based on a relationship with King Philip III of Spain.
It is not known which of the three princes will inherit the royal power of Spain, but it is certain that the succession will inevitably lead to conflict, and Spain, which is caught in the conflict, will not be able to take care of anything else, and then, perhaps, the Ming will take advantage of Spain's own preoccupation to seize Luzon and other places.
The future is unclear to anyone.
However, it is certain that almost every country wanted to gain some benefits in Spain after the death of Carlos II. Even the Ming Dynasty, which is far away in the East, is the same.
"Perhaps, some deployments ahead of time should be considered."
Talking to himself, Xie Erxin took out a file from the safe, there are dozens of people in these files, these people are all European appearances without exception, they are all street children who were brought to Daming since childhood, they have all received various training, and now, when they return to the UK, they are living in London and other places according to the identity arranged for them, they will eventually infiltrate the British government through various channels, maybe one day, they can even influence the political situation in Britain, who knows?
For Xie Erxin, all he needs now is to help them forge their identities and provide financial support.
Recalling the ages of the two heirs, Schelle's new brows furrowed slightly, and in the end, he was disappointed to find that he didn't have the right person on hand.
"Do you have to wait a few more years?"
But after a few years, is it still the "strategy" of his new plan?
"Sit!"
Pointing to an armchair in front of his desk, Xie Erxin glanced at Zhang Jingde, who was one of the few Chinese who was directly stationed in London, but his identity was a businessman.
"How's it going, is everything going well?"
"Fortunately, everything is going well."
Zhang Jingde replied.
"Have you found the right person lately? Tell me everything you know about the people. ”
"Yes."
Then Zhang Jingde took out some papers, which were all sketches and portraits of children, all of whom he bought on the street.
Looking at those sketch portraits, suddenly, a little girl attracted Scheer's new attention, only his eyes lit up, and he looked at the girl in the portrait and said.
"Who is she?"
"Her name is Anne, and her mother is a prostitute smoker."
"What color her hair is, and what her eyes are."
After asking one by one, Schelle found that this was a very good subject, at least for now, there was no one more suitable than him, so he said.
"Do you have any plans for her?"
"As in the past, send them back to their home countries for training, and then send them back after ten years, maybe they will become the daughter of some nobleman or a rich man, and then everything will go according to plan."
"Now, this plan is adjusted, and I have another idea."
Facing Zhang Jingde, Xie Erxin said his thoughts, his eyes seemed a little fanatical, and finally, stared at the other party and said.
"Well, do you want to try it, maybe, we can create a queen." ,
In many cases, great deeds often begin with an inconspicuous beginning, at least in London in 1681, in a room where the participants did not know what their plan would bring to Europe, but it was certainly a very tempting one.
Of course, what is more important is that they see the opportunities that lie within. As for intelligence officers, they never want to miss an opportunity to accomplish their mission.
"Oh my God, she's so beautiful!"
The moment she opened the door, Anne felt as if she had seen an angel, and a beautiful woman stood in front of it, her blonde hair blinking in the sunlight.
She had never seen such a beautiful woman.
"Are you an angel?"
Anne said distractedly.
The girl's words made Margaret laugh happily.
She was truly a stunning woman, known throughout Paris.
Her figure is not only plump, but also slender and slender, and she also has an extraordinary temperament that makes it impossible for anyone who has seen her to forget her. Any man is willing to submit to her skirt, and is willing to be only a minister under her skirt, and nothing else. In fact, in the whole of Paris, no man could refuse her charm, not even the king.
And her hair was beautiful, shining like gold, I don't know if it was natural or combed, curled like a wave. Her face was small and delicate, and it was evident that she had been carefully sculpted when the Creator made her.
On this goose egg face, which is difficult to describe, there are two large blue eyes, pure as the sea, with two curved and slender eyebrows, thick eyelashes on the eyes, and a delicate and straight nose that exudes an aura. A small upright mouth with a well-defined outline, soft lips slightly opened, revealing a mouthful of teeth as white as milk; The skin is as delicate as milk.
This beautiful face will always attract people's attention.
Even for young Anne, she was fascinated by Margaret's beauty.
Anne looked at Margaret, and she was also looking at Anne, this is indeed a very beautiful girl. He believes that with time, soon this girl will become a stunner in the eyes of men, and ten years later, all men will be crazy about her. But now she's too immature.
The man was always able to find the beauty of the girl. The thought of the man he hadn't seen in years was in this room. The corners of Margaret's small lips rose slightly, and finally she reached out gracefully and said to Anne.
"Annie, I'm Margaret, and it's a pleasure to meet you!"
It was the first time Anne had seen Margaret, and she was very happy and fond of her, because the woman was beautiful and exuded a temperament that people wanted to be close to.
He was standing in front of her. Margaret had a smile on her face when she saw him. I haven't seen him for so many years, and he is still as handsome as ever. And he looked at her, and he was still as beautiful as ever. It seems that the years have not left any mark on her body.
They definitely know.
Anne thought to herself.
Then Anne saw Margaret walking towards her master, and they looked at each other, and for a moment she had some kind of delusion, perhaps they were lovers.
"Long time no see."
Zhang Jingde looked at the woman in front of him, after leaving the ship, this was the first time he saw her again, on the ship to Europe, he didn't know if he was the object of her "practice" or something else, but that period of time was indeed the happiest time for him.
"yes, long time no see."
Although she is over thirty years old and has long been married, her face still shows a virgin look, and even a little childish.
"It seems like you've never written to me since we separated."
Margaret's tone was more mocking than complaining.
"You know, we can't be in private without mission contact."
When Zhang Jingde said this, Margaret had already put it in his ear and said with a sigh of relief.
"And now?"
Margaret's blue eyes radiated with lust, and her breath even touched his earlobe.
The strange emotions made Zhang Jingde's heart surge with a strange feeling.
This woman is a goblin!
This thought came to Zhang Jingde's heart. In fact, this is not the first time he has come up with such an idea, as early as a few years ago when they first met. This is how this woman feels for him.
And now that feeling is even stronger.
"Daddy......"
Pressed to his ear, Margaret said with a smile.
"Now that I'm Anne's mother, what do you think we should do? Haven't seen each other in such a long time? ”
Zhang Jingde smiled as her fingers slid across Zhang Jingde's palm, then held her hand and said.
"Don't be so anxious, we still have some work to do."
When it came to work, Margaret, who originally seemed to be full of lust, immediately calmed down, and her eyes, which were originally full of lust, became pure without the slightest distraction. It seems that for her, the switch of emotions is so easy.
Admiring Margaret's rapid emotional adjustment, Zhang Jingde invited her into the study.
"Margaret, actually, if you have a daughter, you don't need to go through such a big deal at all."
Marguerite married a duke in Paris, but she has not had children until now.
"Don't blame me for this,"
Margaret looked at Zhang Jingde and said with a smile.
"If you come to Paris often, maybe we already have children, maybe we can try to get a brother or sister for Anne these days."
Facing his former lover Margaret, he is more ridiculing him.
Margaret's teasing made Zhang Jingde shake his head helplessly and said.
"I'm talking to you about business."
"I'm getting down to business, too."
Margaret looked at Zhang Jingde and said.
"There is no problem in wanting Anne to pretend to be a noble lady, but there is no possibility of wanting her to marry a prince, even if I am a duchess, even if he recognizes her, it doesn't make any sense, Anne's role should be the adopted daughter of a nobleman, not the future queen. After all, countries are extremely strict about the queen's bloodline, and even if we do it well, there will definitely be loopholes. ”
Staring at Zhang Jingde, Margaret said seriously.
"As the adopted daughter of a nobleman, she can contact the queen in the future, as a queen and contact with the outside world, as the queen's upline, so, the core of this plan - Anne, is not a very good choice, although she is beautiful, Europe is different from the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire does not pay attention to blood, but Europe pays attention to blood! Otherwise, you think that the reason why Kars II died and was riddled with diseases was because he attached too much importance to blood, so he continued to marry close relatives for generations. ”
From the first time she came into contact with that plan, Margaret found that there were too many loopholes in the plan, and she even had some doubts about whether this plan was formulated by Zhang Jingde, or rather, he was blinded by the success of the past few years, and he didn't notice it at all, the inheritance of the nobility may be strict, but there are still many potential rules, after all, not everyone wants the family to be extinct.
But the king is different!
Staring at the king's bloodline are not only the nobility of their own country, but also a large number of foreign royal families with the right of inheritance. They will keep an eye on the royal lineage. And then fight for your own benefit.
In such a situation, there is no chance that the previous approach will succeed at all.
"You mean, like Lu Budi...... No, if she didn't grow up in the Celestial Empire, how could her heart be in the Celestial Empire? ”
Just when Zhang Jingde objected, Margaret had already put her hands on his shoulders and looked at him and said.
"If her father is from the Celestial Empire and grows up with her, believe me, she will love the Celestial Empire as much as I do, including the people of the Celestial Empire......"
In Margaret's memory, everything in the Celestial Empire was beautiful. After all, for her who came out of the street, only life after arriving in the Celestial Empire is human life. As for the life in France that used to be just a lingering pano like a wild dog.
Even now. As a duchess, she will still miss everything in the Celestial Empire. It's like she always thinks of the man in front of her.
Maybe he wasn't her first lover, but he was the last man he ever loved. The important thing is that he is a member of the Celestial Empire.
Maybe this is the love house and the black.
When the words fell, she kissed the man she had been away from for a long time......
"Would you like to give me a baby?"
As if afraid of his refusal, Margaret whispered in her ear.
"Honey, you have to know that this is for our mission."
In the face of Margaret's enthusiasm, Zhang Jingde could not refuse. And he was unwilling to refuse, after all, for him, he also thought of this woman countless times.
Dry firewood is always lit in an instant, and they are willing to burn in the flames.
