Immediately afterwards, Wu Chongyao said that a large number of goods purchased from foreigners at the time of the establishment of the Nanyang Company had also arrived, and a large number of foreigner cargo ships were waiting for the reply of the Nanyang Company on the Pearl River next to Cheung Chau Island, asking Feng Yunshan how to accept those foreigners. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Originally, Feng Yunshan didn't want to meddle in Nanyang Company's foreign business dealings, but now this batch of goods was originally negotiated by him personally at the beginning of the establishment of Nanyang Company, and this batch of orders was too important, so Feng Yunshan decided to go to the East Lake Wharf again in person, by the way, to meet the person who set up the machine factory introduced by George, and then summon those foreigners in turn, and let them be sent to different locations for goods reception according to the purpose of the goods.

When he came to the East Lake Wharf, he saw a large group of foreigners negotiating around Nanyang Company, and Feng Yunshan saw that the person among them was Pan Wentao, deputy general manager of Nanyang Company. Wu Chongyao followed Feng Yunshan to Shaozhou Mansion, and Pan Wentao, who stayed in Guangzhou, became the person with the biggest position in Nanyang Company, so he came forward to greet the foreigners.

But he didn't have financial power, not to mention that when it came to such a large order, it had to be nodded by Wu Chongyao and Saint King Feng Yunshan, so he only came forward to delay until Wu Chongyao and others arrived.

Pan Wentao was relieved when he saw Feng Yunshan and Wu Chongyao coming, these foreigners, all crazy, shouted around him, eager to deliver the goods and get the money immediately.

"Wen Tao has worked hard!" Wu Chongyao hurriedly stepped forward and comforted Pan Wentao. Wu Chongyao had long known about the situation here, and on the road just now, the manager of Nanyang Company had already reported the situation to him.

"Friends, please be quiet! According to the arrangement of Nanyang Company, I will find you to settle the delivery in a certain order, so please be patient. If it is not called, do not make a noise, otherwise, it will be dealt with in the end. Wu Chongyao shouted loudly, and the foreigners suddenly quieted down, and no one wanted to anger the gold owner.

The first to arrange was the Prussian consul in Canton, Ricky. Karenway. In the envious eyes of all foreigners, he led a person and happily came to the Holy King and Wu Chongyao.

Feng Yunshan looked at the Prussian Ricky who had not been seen for more than half a year in front of him. Kalunwei, Feng Yunshan is still full of good feelings for this person.

It's a pity that Li Jianwei and Kalunwei, one after the other, although they both went to Prussia, but the two didn't meet, otherwise, Feng Yunshan really wanted to have a relationship with the high-level of Prussia, and for this dark horse in Western Europe, there were not many interest disputes, Feng Yunshan was still very willing to cooperate with him.

"Your Royal Highness, I am so glad to see you again!" Karenwei humbly lowered his head, flashed aside, and let one person behind him introduce to Feng Yunshan: "Please allow me to introduce you to an equally distinguished guest---- His Royal Highness Frederick, Prince of the Kingdom of Prussia?" William? Nikulaus? Cal. He was the second brother of the current King of Prussia, Prince Wilhelm? Frederick? Ludwig's eldest son. ”

After introducing the little prince of Prussia, Karenway turned to introduce Feng Yunshan to him: "Your Royal Highness, this is the most charming and legendary holy king of the East that I have mentioned to you in Prussia!" ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness the Holy King!" Nikulaus? Prince Karl respectfully saluted Feng Yunshan!

In front of him, a young man with curly blond hair, handsome in appearance, and a face with a distinct outline unique to Westerners, Feng Yunshan looked at this person, but he was thinking in his head, this person's father turned out to be the "Prince of Shotguns" William? Frederick? Ludwig, who was King of Prussia and later Emperor Wilhelm I of Germany, was not a few years later. The little prince Karl in front of him was not the later German emperor Frederick III.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan was suddenly surprised! Although the little prince Karl is not yet a prince, because his uncle of the current king has no heirs, his status is naturally not low by virtue of his position as the first successor of the Prussian royal family.

If it is through him, to establish good relations with his father and the future king of Prussia, it is best to take advantage of the fact that Prussia has not yet been able to unify the German Confederation and form an alliance with it to strive for the greatest interests.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan responded with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, this king is also very happy to meet you!" I don't know what the prince came all the way to the East? ”

"Your Highness, you can call me Karl! We Prussians do not go around in circles. Carl came to your place this time, firstly, I wanted to come to the mysterious East to walk around and increase my knowledge, and in addition, I was also ordered by the king of our country to come to discuss cooperation between the two countries with the holy king! ”

"Cooperation? That's great! This king wants to cooperate with your country. Feng Yunshan smiled.

It turned out that last year, Feng Yunshan casually said that he asked Karenwe, a businessman who was about to return to China, to convey greetings to the king of Prussia, but unexpectedly, the rigid and serious Prussian Karenwei deliberately asked for a relationship and found the little prince Karl to help introduce him to his uncle, the current king of Prussia, Frederick. William IV.

As soon as the Prussian king heard the ins and outs of the matter after talking about the matter in Karenway, he was overjoyed to see that this part-time consul and merchant stationed in Canton in the Far East had taken such a lucrative order and ran back to China, and then heard that the Holy King of the East, who had an astonishing fortune, had strengthened his cooperation!

Wilhelm IV, who was ambitious and wanted to unify the German Confederation, was worried about the lack of funds and was difficult to compete with his old rival Austria.

At that moment, Feng Yunshan, with the help of Karenwei, an intermediary, signed a "Taipu Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement" with Prince Karl, and Prussia first recognized the Taiping Holy State established by Feng Yunshan as a formal state and concluded an alliance with the Taiping Holy State.

The two sides agreed that the two countries will carry out comprehensive cooperation. The Taiping Holy Kingdom and Prussia traded with each other in all directions, of course, the main thing was that the Taiping Holy Kingdom purchased Western machinery and equipment, industrial products, weapons and equipment from Prussia.

At the same time, Prussia promised to provide technology and personnel to the Taiping Holy State for a fee, and the Taiping Holy State would also send a number of officials, students, craftsmen, and soldiers to Prussia for study and exchange, contact with modern Western science and technology, and learn technology.

Of course, all of this required the Taiping Holy State to pay money to Prussia.

In this way, both sides actually take what they need! Prussia obtained much-needed funds through trade and the provision of skilled personnel, while Feng Yunshan and the Taiping Shengguo obtained their most scarce modern industrial base and system. (To be continued.) )
