The next day, in the morning, in the Palace of Versailles, where Napoleon was working, there were many people sitting in the room, both white-skinned French from the West and yellow-skinned Asians. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Napoleon was impressively in the column, sitting on the upper seat, and pointed to the side: "Murat, this is Mr. Nguyen Yuanchao Nguyen that I told you." ”

After saying that, he pointed to the person in charge of the lower seat on his left, and then said: "Mr. Ruan, this is my brother-in-law Murat, the general manager of this trip to China with you. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Yuanchao was shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was Murat. Having lived in France for so many years, of course does Ruan Yuanchao know who Murat is? is not only Napoleon's brother-in-law, but also a general of the French Army, brave and good at war, and is highly relied on by Napoleon.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yuanchao didn't dare to hold it up, so he got up, performed a Western standard etiquette, leaned over and said, "Hehe, I've seen General Murat!" ”

To Ruan Yuanchao's surprise, the other party also stood up, returned the salute slightly, and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Ruan~"

Although it was a fluttering sentence, Ruan Yuanchao felt honored and had a feeling of flattery. When the two were polite, Napoleon noticed Ruan Yuanchao's first seat, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he was even more vigilant, his face was as usual, and he asked curiously: "Hey, Mr. Ruan, who is this guest, why haven't I seen it?" ”

Hearing Napoleon's inquiry, Ruan Yuanchao was shocked, and hurriedly reined in his heart, followed Napoleon's gaze, looked at the person on the right, and looked at the person on the right, who was also full of doubts, and just wanted to say something, only one of the people on the right stood up and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the Marshal, this person was brought by below, named Yang Sanda, Ruan Yuanchao doesn't know him." ”

Napoleon was not angry at the sudden interjection of a Chinese, because he knew this person, but asked with great interest: "Oh, Mr. Liu, is Yang Sanda Chinese, like you and Mr. Min Yide Min?" ”

"Yes, Marshal, Yang Sanda is also Chinese." Liu Huayang agreed, and then hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency Marshal, I heard from Finance Minister Duergt that this trip is going to China, so I invited Yang Sanda by the way, with his participation, what else can't be guaranteed for this trip to China?" However, as long as you enter the realm of the Great Guang Dynasty, you will save a lot of trouble, and if it goes well, you can directly meet the emperor of the Great Guang Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, seeing that Liu Huayang was very confident, Napoleon was first shocked, then suspicious, not very convinced, and finally asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu, what you said about Mr. Yang really has such great ability?" It allowed the French mission to pass through the South China Sea smoothly and meet the emperor of the Great Canton Dynasty. ”

At this time, Liu Huayang did not answer, but looked at Yang Sanda, with a smile on his face, the latter understood, and then stood up, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Excellency Marshal, I Yang Sanda cannot guarantee anything else, but I still have a little confidence in entering China safely and meeting the emperor of the Great Guang Dynasty." Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the mission abides by the laws of the Great Guang Dynasty, and is not ill-intentioned. ”

Yang Sanda's last words seem to be a joke, but they also have a bit of a reminder, as the master of France, how could Napoleon not understand?

At this time, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Napoleon stood up, walked forward, came to Yang Sanda, patted Yang Sanda's shoulder kindly with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, don't worry, the French mission is sincere with twelve points, how can there be any bad intentions?" Moreover, the purpose of the mission was not only to establish diplomatic relations with the Great Canton Dynasty, but also to form an alliance. ”

As if thinking of something, Napoleon's tone changed, and he asked instead: "By the way, Mr. Yang, I heard that the emperor of the Great Guang Dynasty is also surnamed Yang, you won't be the royal family of the Great Guang Dynasty, right?" ”

One stone set off a thousand waves, and immediately reminded everyone, and then I remembered that the new emperor of China was surnamed Yang, if this Yang Sanda was the royal family of the Great Guang Dynasty, the purpose of his coming to France would be worth playing.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes looked at Yang Sanda, even the introducer Liu Huayang was no exception, and there was a little nervousness in his heart.

However, in the face of everyone's eyes, Yang Sanda was not shocked, and behaved very steadily, Shi Shiran said: "Hehe, Your Excellency Marshal, you misunderstood, there are more than 10 million Chinese surnames Yang, I am not a royal family of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, I just admire the reform of the West, especially the reform of your country, so I came here." ”

There was silence all around, and it was clear that Yang Sanda's explanation was not very convincing. Thinking about it, I can understand that if I didn't have a certain status in the Great Guang Dynasty and my identity was not prominent enough, how could I have such confidence and bearing? How do you say what you just said?

At this moment, Napoleon's attention to Yang Sanda has risen a few points, and he has the meaning of being a guest, and he is noncommittal to Yang Sanda's explanation, but said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, the French delegation will go to the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, and I have to ask you a lot." ”

Watching the two talk happily, there is one person who has a very bad feeling in his heart, and that is Ruan Yuanchao. From his position, it is not difficult to see how much Napoleon attached importance to him sitting on the upper seat.

However, all this has changed, flipped upside down, and all the limelight has been taken out by this Yang Sanda. However, even so, Ruan Yuanchao did not dare to reveal the slightest complaint, as everyone guessed, he was also worried that Yang Sanda was the royal family of the Great Guang Dynasty, and he could not afford to provoke it.

It seems that Yang Sanda's identity has long been verified, that is, the royal family of the Great Canton Dynasty, Napoleon and Yang Sanda stood opposite each other, and said sincerely: "Mr. Yang, the French mission is being formed, and it will probably take less than a month for everything to be prepared, and it will leave for China in March." If you still have something to do, I can help you so that you don't have to delay your trip. ”

Contrary to Napoleon's expectations, Yang Sanda replied very happily: "Your Excellency Marshal, as long as you say hello, I, Yang Sanda, can set off at any time and take the French delegation to the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, but ......"

Yang Sanda paused meaningfully, arousing Napoleon's curiosity, and then asked, "Mr. Yang, but what?" ”

Yang Sanda showed hesitation, thought about it again and again, and then said slowly: "Your Excellency Marshal, listen to what you just meant, the reason why your country's mission went to the Daguang Dynasty is not only for the two countries to establish diplomatic relations, but also for the intention of forming an alliance. Although I, Yang Sanda, do not have a half-official position in your country, I have not stayed for long, and my stay in Europe is not short, so I still have some understanding of the situation in Europe. ”

Out of the habit of Chinese, whenever they express their opinions in front of some powerful people, they will slow down their speech, pause slightly, observe how the other party looks, and then decide whether to continue.

Seeing that Napoleon's expression was as usual and did not change at all, Yang Sanda continued: "As far as I know, if my guess is correct, the reason why France wants to form an alliance with the Great Canton Dynasty is to counter the anti-French alliance led by Britain, Marshal Napoleon, I am right." ”

Napoleon was very calm, and said: "Yes, this is what I am going to do, can't I?" Moreover, France and China not only have good historical exchanges, but also do not have any conflicts of interest. Once an alliance is formed, there will be no loss for the Great Guang Dynasty, and it will be able to recover the territories occupied by Russia in the north, so why not? ”

Yang Sanda nodded frequently, agreeing with Napoleon's statement, and admired the other party even more in his heart. If you change to a Chinese, you will definitely not say so frankly and directly, but beat around the bush, and will never easily show your hole cards.

When these thoughts flashed through his mind, Yang Sanda was also organizing the language, and only after Napoleon finished speaking did he continue to express his opinion.

"Marshal Napoleon, send a mission to the Great Canton Dynasty to achieve the purpose of the alliance between the two countries in order to deal with the anti-French alliance. I think that your country should not be carried out in a big way, but in secret, and all the members of the mission should be disguised as merchants, and blend into the caravan and go to the Great Canton Dynasty. ”

Napoleon's face was as usual, without a little mood fluctuation, and Murat on the side suddenly interjected: "Mr. Yang, you are too worried, in another ten days and half a month, our France will sign a peace treaty with Britain, so that at this time, their royal fleet will not dare to attack the French mission ships." ”

Yang Sanda shook his head and retorted: "General Murat, presumably your country doesn't believe in this peace treaty either. Otherwise, your country would not have formed a delegation and gone to the Great Guangzhou Dynasty to form an alliance. In this case, the British-led anti-French alliance had just suffered losses in China, and they knew very well that the navy of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty should not be underestimated, so how could they turn a blind eye to the alliance between the French Republic and the Great Guangzhou Dynasty? ”

At this time, Napoleon, who remained silent, said: "Murat, Mr. Yang is right, it is best to carry out the alliance with the Great Guangzhou Dynasty in secret, so that not only can the safety of the mission be guaranteed, but also after the alliance is reached, it will be more conducive to some follow-up things by taking Britain and other anti-French allies by surprise." ”

Murat showed a sudden look, nodded excitedly, and Yang Sanda said again: "Not only that, the sooner the mission departs, the better, only when you arrive at the Great Guang Dynasty and form an alliance can you really rest assured." And, in my personal opinion, even if Britain and France had reached a rapprochement, that peace treaty would not have lasted long, and the next war would not be too far away. ”

At this moment, no one in the room believed Yang Sanda's previous explanation, so concerned about the French mission, with such a vicious vision and unique insights, it was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

There are two sides to everything, but Napoleon thought about the problem from another angle, ignoring Yang Sanda's motives for coming to France, the more simple the identity of the Chinese in front of him, the more enthusiastic he was about the alliance between France and the Great Guang Dynasty, the greater the possibility of promoting the alliance!

Thinking of this, Napoleon showed his generous side, patted Yang Sanda on the shoulder, and said heartily: "Hehe, what Mr. Yang said is right, the French mission will set off in the shortest possible time, blend in with the ranks of those merchants, and go to the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, this mysterious and rich country." ”
