Maria. Clementina was really loyal to the Bonaparte family, and she didn't know what benefits Napoleon had given her? In offending Louie. After Bonaparte's cancer was to be treated as soon as possible, he immediately decided in bed that he would leave for France three days later, and sent a servant to leave overnight to report to his fellow party in France - because Zhu Jishi also made a request that the Bonaparte family provide some "shiyan products", after all, Zhu Jishi had not done stomach surgery, although there were teaching materials for reference, but after a few times shiyan was still not sure, although it was very immoral to do so, but Zhu Jishi knew that in the process of the progress of Western medicine, I don't know how many times the secret was carried out human shiyan!

At this moment, in the French Foreign Ministry near the quay d'Orsay in Paris, French Foreign Minister Guizot is summoning Theodore, who is about to lead a delegation to China. Morality. Laverny and others, as well as representatives of the French military, Lieutenant General Deneuve, undersecretary of the War Department, discussed the current French diplomatic issues with China.

Laverni's status as envoy extraordinary and plenipotentiary to China this time was the highest-ranking diplomat among the three French missions sent to China after the outbreak of the Opium War. Before Lasini, the French also sent an observation mission led by Zhen Shengyi, an "expert on the Far East," and a mission led by the French consul in Guangzhou, Ladi Mondon. Moreover, Zhen Shengyi also overstepped his authority to negotiate with Qi Ying, the governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, and concluded a relatively equal "Sino-French Treaty of Commerce and Navigation," which also included a secret clause on France's arms exports to China.

However, this act of signing a treaty and secret treaty with the Chinese side was protested by the British, and the French July Dynasty at this time was quite weak in dealing with the British, so Foreign Minister Guizot sent Radi Mondong to Guangzhou to deny the diplomatic activities of the true intentions. Now that Ladi Mengdong has just arrived in China, the French Foreign Ministry is planning to send a third wave of diplomatic delegations to China.

Speaking of which, the French policy toward China is really confusing enough. The birth of Zhu Jishi, a "great Chinese scientist", is also interfering with the French government's negotiations with China to a certain extent. In the past few days, Foreign Minister Guizo has discussed several times with Laeni in order to come up with a final countermeasure for the issue of China.

The strategy was divided into two parts, one was to get the best interests for France, and the other was to try to participate in China's reforms.

After the Seven Years' War and the Napoleonic War, there was very little left of France's overseas possessions, and the July Dynasty relied on the bourgeoisie to rule, so it was necessary to find an international market for French industry and capital, but the New World and India had little room for France to develop, so China, which had just been knocked on by the British, naturally aroused the coveting of the French government.

However, at this time, France did not send a large army to carry out a 10,000-mile expedition like the British, knocking on the door of China with guns and cannons, and forcing the Chinese government to sign unequal treaties. Because they still have a huge war to fight in North Africa, the leader of the Algerians, Abdou. Kadir is a rather difficult character, having defeated the French invaders twice and is now fighting the third major war with the French.

In addition, the domestic situation in France is not very stable, and due to industrial overproduction and poor agricultural harvests, the living conditions of the French working people and the finances of the French government are facing considerable difficulties. And the common people here in Paris have a tradition of rebellion, and in the decades from the French Revolution to the present, at least ten uprisings have been launched! The July Dynasty, which is now in power, took advantage of the July Revolution of 1830 to come to power. King Philip also had the nickname "Barricade King", meaning that he became king by rioting in the streets.

The power base of the July Dynasty was also rather unconsolidated due to the improper accession to the throne, and not only the republicans and Bonapartists opposed Louis. Philippe's royal power, and even the royal party members in France mostly supported the orthodoxy of the Bourbon dynasty and opposed him as the Orleans branch.

Therefore, it is really not so easy for the French government to get enough benefits from China now, after all, when it cannot use force, it can only rely on two means: deception and negotiation.

Moreover, in addition to seeking immediate interests, there is also a long-term goal - before the real intention to reciprocate, the Qing government has revealed the intention to learn from the reform of the Western military, in the future of Yujian, there will definitely be a reform to imitate the West, and what role should France play in this reform?

The Emperor Napoleon's prophecy about China was known to the French, and now the British have woken up the sleeping lion with a war, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for France. The giant lion of the East that is beginning to wake up is not good for France in seeking colonies in the East, but the huge market it has is a great opportunity for French industry and commerce in distress.

But how to use this opportunity, these people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, when they talked about it, didn't say anything, but Kizo remembered something.

"By the way, the Chinese scientist Zhu Jishi, who lives in the UK, seems to have finally left for Paris," said Kizo, frowning slightly, "Two days ago, he also sent a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that he wanted to write a letter to the Qing Emperor in his personal name, and that he also wanted a Chinese named Bai Siwen to go to China with the French mission." ”

Lavani was stunned for a moment—there was a Chinese who was going to go on the road with his mission, and he had to bring Zhu Jishi's letter...... It is better to say that the letter was put forward by the French themselves, and the letter was also forwarded by the French mission, so they could naturally open it and take a look, and if the content was not favorable to France, they could withhold it and not send it. But if a big living person suddenly appeared with him, would the Chinese court completely grasp the reality of France? In that case, the Chinese court would still be willing to make the greatest concessions to France?

"Your Excellency, what is our mission in the East? To pursue the best interests of France, or to win the favor of the Chinese court? "If it is the latter, I think we can negotiate with China on the basis of the diplomatic results achieved by Mr. Zhen Shengyi, otherwise it is better not to let Zhu Jishi participate in our negotiations with the Qing government." ”

On the one hand, it wants to grab the greatest short-term benefits, and on the other hand, it wants to seek long-term benefits by participating in China's future reforms. The previous intention was clearly to focus on the latter, while the French government favored the former.

"But what can we do to prevent Zhu Jishi from informing the Chinese court of our inside story?" Kizo's tone was hesitant.

"This ......," Latini was stunned when she heard this, and when she thought about it, it was indeed the case. Zhu Jishi is now a well-known scientist in Europe, the British also made him a baron, and also established a Jishi holding company with assets of more than hundreds of thousands of pounds, and it is very simple to send a letter to the Qing emperor. What can the French do with him?

Detain him? Hehe, he is now a guest of the French Academy of Sciences and the government of the Kingdom of France, an academician of the French Academy of Sciences, how can he be detained? Do you want the face of the Kingdom of France?

"Your Excellency, why don't we get in touch with Zhu Jishi first? What kind of role does he want to play in the Sino-French negotiations? Lieutenant General Deneuve, the French undersecretary of the army, suddenly interjected: "I think we should also understand what role Zhu Jishi wants to play in China's reform in the future." ”

"Henry, what do you mean...... Is it possible that Zhu Jishi will become a high-ranking official and powerful minister of the Chinese court in the future? As he said this, his brow furrowed.

"We can send someone to get to the bottom of him."

"Send someone? Who? ”

"My daughter Maria," Lieutenant General Deneuve touched his nose and said with a slight smile, "she is now traveling in England...... I think she will become good friends with Zhu Jishi. ”
