As soon as Levison-Gower left, Harriet Howard, who had brought him, refused to leave, and in desperation, Duke Valewski, Minister of State, and Baron Haussmann, Minister of Foreign Affairs, had to leave first, and it was obvious that the Emperor was going to mess with his mistress, and as close ministers, they still had this little look, and when they left, they also drove out the court guards and maids, leaving the empty hall of the French Emperor as a fully spacious battlefield.

Sure enough, as soon as the two left, Louie rushed over impatiently and took Harriet Howard in his arms. In fact, Louie, who is not tall and a little thin, is not so much holding Harriet Howard in his arms as being held by Harriet Howard, who is tall and has long hands and legs, into his chest.

Louie Monkey hurriedly raised and lowered his hands, and his lips began to chase the woman's scarlet lips, but Harriet Howard, although obviously moved, forcibly held back and turned his head to dodge, making Louis even more anxious.

Seeing that the emperor was a little impatient, Harriet Howard no longer deliberately dodged, but stiffened up the towering position, wrenched Louie's head against his soft peak, and let it crush the mountain, and then spoke: "Is Your Majesty so anxious every time, completely ignoring my feelings?" ”

Louis enjoyed the pleasure of changing the shape of the mountain, his lips were busy, and while he was ventilating, he asked vaguely, "My dear, what else do you feel?" I'll give you the most wonderful feeling later. ”

"Your Majesty! Don't you understand what I want? Harriet Howard complained half-truthfully, the force in his hand was not light or heavy, it seemed to push away, but it was weak and weak, and when Louis was more interested, he put his hands in front of his chest and said: "Your Majesty, after Your Majesty got the Saarland district of the Rhine from Prussia, I heard that there is coal everywhere, and our Harriet family has been worried about Your Majesty for so long, we should always give back a little, and hand over 50% of the coal prospecting rights in the Saar area to our family, is it okay?" ”

Louis used both hands and mouth, and finally got rid of the suffocation, and gasped: "You little goblin! When is it, and tell me about coal! Without mentioning anything now, let's enjoy love and enjoy the most wonderful feeling in the world!

Harriet Howard twisted the waist of the water snake, struggling his proud capital out of the clutches of Louis, and said coquettishly with all her might: "No! Your Majesty, if you don't promise me, people will ignore you today! ”

"50% of the coal mining rights in the Saarland area, that's too much, 30% is the most!" Louis had already understood the desire of the woman in front of him, and bargained, but the work in his hand did not slow down at all.

After a while, the two agreed that it would be 30% for thirty minutes, and 50% if it was not even ten minutes, and so on, and then the two were completely caught in a world war about men and women, and as for what the final percentage was, I am afraid that only the big pendulum clock placed on the wall of the main hall would know.

.........

A week later. Prague, the bohemian capital of Austria.

This is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years, as the capital of the Holy Roman Empire ruled by the Habsburg Dynasty, Prague has always been a fertile place with a large population, as early as 20 years ago, it has a population of more than 100,000 people, and later although Vienna became the capital of the Austrian Empire, but from beginning to end, Prague is still the most populous, largest, most industrialized and developed city in the entire Austrian Empire. Especially in the past few years, with the rise of the Industrial Revolution, Prague is located in Central Bohemia, where Prague is located, many coal mines and steel factories have been discovered and put into operation, and Prague is even more prosperous and the population has surged.

However, the Bohemians living in the Prague area were never willing to be under the rule of the Habsburgs of the Austrian Empire. The Czech uprising was staged more than 200 years ago, but it was defeated at the Battle of White Mountain, and more than a decade ago, during the European Revolution, Prague did not show weakness, and the people of Prague also staged an uprising, although it was suppressed, but forced the Austrian authorities to abolish the labor system. Moreover, the Czech nationalist movement began to develop, and last year, the Czech National Party took the majority of seats in the Prague City Council.

Four days earlier, Prague had been hit by a new crisis, with more than 50,000 Prussian troops surrounding Prague, setting up artillery and preparing for a bombardment. The city of Prague was guarded by nearly 40,000 Austrian defenders.

Although the number of Prussian soldiers outside the city was larger, you must know that the siege battle, even if it is not a cold weapon battle, generally requires a double of the enemy army, not to mention that the artillery on the Prague Castle is erected to seize the advantageous terrain, and the Prussian army must pay huge casualties to forcibly capture Prague.

Therefore, Prince William, the commander of the Prussian Fifth Army Corps, who was besieging Prague, had a great headache. However, his staff officer, Mr. Zeng Jize from the East, had some ideas in his ears, and immediately, he nodded suspiciously, and the embarrassment between his eyebrows also decreased a lot.

That night, the Prussian army attacking Prague outside the city was surprised to find that there was a lot of chaos in the well-defended Prague city, and in real confusion, two remote Prague city gates were opened, and there was a gap in the Austrian defenders' fortifications outside the city, and some Austrian defenders with the red and white banners of the Czech principality eight hundred years ago actually rebelled and entered the city as a response to the Prussian army outside the city.

Prince William was overjoyed and led the Prussian troops of the Fifth Army and part of the Fourth Army to quickly seize the city of Prague and control the situation before the Austrian defenders in the city could react.

It was only later that I learned that it was Mr. Zeng Jize who knew the leader of the Czech National Party in Prague. The leaders of the Czech National Party have always been dissatisfied with the rule of the Habsburg-dominated Austrian Empire over Bohemia and Prague, but they have always suffered from the strong military power of the Austrian Empire, and have no way to resist, so they can only elect some members of the limited municipal council in Prague, which has a slight control over Prague's politics. Now it happened to be a large-scale invasion by the Prussian army, and although the Czech National Party did not like Germanic people like Prussia either, it was the lesser of two evils.

At the same time, Zeng Jize persuaded the leaders of the Czech Democratic Party that the Kingdom of Prussia was more enlightened, and that they could join the German Confederation led by the Kingdom of Prussia in the form of a state or a principality, and even the entire Bohemian region. As a result, the persuaded Czech National Party mobilized the entire population of Prague, and let many bohemians in the Austrian army stationed in Prague directly rebel, open the city gates, and welcome the Prussian troops outside the city into the city.

As for how Zeng Jize knew the leader of the Czech Democratic Party, Prince William was very strange.

According to his understanding, after Zeng Jize came to Europe, he has been in Paris and London, occasionally following the envoy Guo Songtao to Berlin twice, and during the rest of the time, he has been staying in Dublin, Ireland, and, as an Oriental, he has nothing to do with Europe, so Prince William casually asked Zeng Jize why he was popular in Prague and how he knew the Austrian troops stationed in Prague.

Zeng Jize just casually explained that he met a business partner through Nanyang Company, and Prince William didn't believe much of this excuse, but he could only put the matter aside for the time being. In any case, it was already a great achievement to help him lead the Prussian army to capture Prague.

The next day, Baron Haussmann, the French Foreign Secretary, who had just departed from Vienna, was shocked when he learned that the people of Prague had rebelled and defected to Prussia, resulting in the Prussian army taking Prague almost bloodlessly and occupying the whole of Bohemia. Preparation for mediation talks.
