Xu Qing followed this Bismarck hypocritically as a pair of teachers and students here, Bismarck was also a bachelor, and directly took Xu Qing, the "teacher", to Berlin, the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia, and even became a tour guide himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoXu Qing, as the minister of the Chinese Manchu court stationed in Europe, naturally went to submit the letter first.

"Your Majesty, this is my credentials on behalf of our Chinese Emperor!" Xu Qing said.

King Frederick William IV of Prussia took the credentials, and then said: "Minister Xu Qing has come from afar, I have already asked someone to prepare a ball, and I invite Minister Xu Qing to participate!" ”

Frederick William IV did not have much enthusiasm, it was all formulaic. Of course, Xu Qing also knew that China was too far away from Europe to exert effective influence on Europe. So whether it was good or bad, this did not mean anything to Europe, and Prussia just held a ball with the idea of welcoming diplomatic envoys, and it was not too grand.

Of course, this may be because Xu Qing has the platform of Princess Victoria of the United Kingdom, so the level of this banquet is much higher.

Many members of the royal family of Prussia and even the Kingdom of Bavaria came to this banquet. Of course, they didn't give Xu Qing's face, they gave the face of Princess Victoria, Xu Qing was just a fox and a fake tiger.

Here in Germany, perhaps because of the rigor of the German style, it is not as relaxed as in other European countries. Even the Germans were surprisingly martial, and many nobles wore a variety of weapons, including various cold weapons and some delicately carved pistols, to show that they were martial. However, these things are of little use in Xu Qing's eyes, because Xu Qing is a pragmatist, and the refined weapons of these nobles are actually completely luxurious, and no one has any kindness and meaning.

Xu Qing took the initiative to pull his new student Bismarck and came to Prince Wilhelm's side. If nothing else, this Prince William will be the future Emperor of Prussia, so Xu Qing attaches more importance to Prince William.

"Your Royal Highness, this is the student I just accepted, Otto Bismarck! He's an excellent guy! Xu Qing said.

Prince Wilhelm was a little surprised, why did Xu Qing specifically introduce this Bismarck, and did he have any deep meaning? Prince Wilhelm is also very strange, Xu Qing has only been in Germany for a long time, and he actually accepted a student. And this student looks like he's thirty years old, and he's younger than his teacher, this is not the mainstream!

"Well, to be accepted as a student by Minister Xu, that must be a good talent. I hope to contribute to the friendship between Prussia and China in the future! "Prince Wilhelm said a few empty words to this Bismarck, anyway, they didn't know each other at this time, so naturally it was empty words.

Bismarck was also a little embarrassed, he was forcibly accepted as a student by this Xu Qing, so that Bismarck didn't know what Xu Qing wanted to do. However, it can only be temporarily defaulted.

"Prince Wilhelm, I came to Germany, and I found a very interesting phenomenon!" Xu Qing said.

Prince William asked curiously, "What did Minister Xu Qing find?" ”

Xu Qing replied: "I found that the German region is very similar to the situation before the establishment of the Qin Dynasty in our year, it is a chaotic place. Although this Germany has a common confederation, the authority of the confederation is very low, just like before the establishment of the Qin Dynasty in China, although there was a nominal co-ruler, Zhou Tianzi, but there was almost no power. ”

"As for the fighting of the following countries, for so many years, since the Holy Roman Empire, the major princes have annexed each other, which is very similar to our Spring and Autumn Warring States. Then, in particular, Prussia was very militarily strong, similar to the Qin kingdom in China. As for Austria, it is somewhat similar to our Chu Kingdom in China back then, but there are some differences that the gap between the Cook and the Qin State back then is greater than the gap between Austria and Prussia, and the challenges you face are greater than that of the Qin Kingdom back then. ”

"As for Bavaria, this is similar to our Chinese Qi country, although it has strength, it has already declined a lot, but there are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship, and it should not be completely underestimated."

"As for other countries, if you don't mention this, it won't become the mainstream!"

Prince Wilhelm is also very interesting, but there is someone who reacts faster than him, and that is Bismarck.

"Teacher, do you mean that we in Prussia can also unify this German region like the Qin Kingdom, and then build a powerful empire?" Bismarck asked.

Prince Wilhelm immediately became interested in this Bismarck, and this Bismarck reacted faster than himself. Of course, this Bismarck was just a student of Xu Qing for a day, and Prince Wilhelm didn't think that this was taught by Xu Qing, so it should be that Bismarck was very sensitive.

"It seems that Minister Xu Qing accepted this 'student', and he didn't accept it casually!" Prince William said.

Xu Qing didn't plan to say it directly, but said directly: "Don't say ......"

Bismarck was depressed for a while, Xu Qing actually refused to say it directly, but Bismarck asked again: "Teacher, how did the Qin Kingdom unify the six kingdoms back then?" Can you tell me the story? ”

Prince William was also very interested, although this is a story in the far east, but any politician and historian understands the truth that his mountain stones can be used to attack jade. Listen more, it's always no problem, you can get inspired.

"When the Qin State was unified, it actually had very superb skills. Although the Qin State was powerful, it was not really absolutely powerful. They first had to disintegrate the enemy's alliance, and he avoided fighting with all the nations at the same time. It is necessary to avoid hostility with all countries at the same time, and to resolve them separately one by one. ”

Bismarck immediately asked again: "Teacher, do you mean that we in Prussia must also avoid fighting all countries at the same time?" ”

Xu Qing replied: "Isn't this nonsense? ”

Prussia is almost identical to the Warring States period in China, and this is almost identical. The Qin state relied on long-distance and close attacks to achieve unification, avoiding several international wars at the same time. In fact, the unification of the Qin State was not only military, but also had sufficient diplomatic wisdom and political wisdom. In that year, Bismarck also won the opportunity for reunification by dividing the enemy and then avoiding wars with too many countries at once.

Prince Wilhelm feels as if he has some interest in this Bismarck, and he reacts quickly enough! You must know that Xu Qing has not been in Prussia for a long time, and he has just met this Bismarck, so it is impossible to teach him too much, this is very talented.

"May I ask Minister Xu Qing, if you think that we want to unify Germany, what should we pay attention to?" Prince William asked.

Prince William asked this, in fact, he also hoped that Xu Qing could give a "fair and objective" answer. Xu Qing is Chinese, and the communication and transportation capabilities of the current era are underdeveloped, and China cannot influence the strategic situation in Europe too much, or the influence is still small. In this day and age, trade between Europe and Asia may be possible, but if a Eurasian war breaks out, it will not be possible.

With the current strength of Europe, it is impossible to conquer China, let alone completely colonize China. Because China has civilization, it is not so easy to deal with. The difficulty of conquering a civilized country is different from that of an uncivilized country. Europeans do not expect to be able to conquer China in a short time, this European is not stupid.

Of course, Xu Qing, an Oriental, cannot influence Europe, so his natural evaluation is still very fair and objective, and he will not have his own conflicts of interest. It is precisely because China has no conflict of interest with Germany that this is the reason why Wilhelm can ask questions.

"Prince Wilhelm, I think that if Germany wants to be unified, there must be several important points. First of all, it's a battle for dominance, and I don't say anything about that, I think you understand. You know better than I do about the filth of Prussia and Austria. In other words, only one of you, Prussia and Austria, can take the lead. Either wipe them out completely, or ......" Xu Qing hadn't finished speaking, but Bismarck took the initiative to interject.

Bismarck took the initiative to say: "Either kick them out!" ”

"Well, yes, that's it. At that time, the gap between the strength of our Chinese Qin State and the going abroad, that is, the difference between the strength of the first and the second, was actually very large, so that the Qin State could eliminate the Chu State. But you don't have that here, and the gap between Austria and Prussia here is not very large, so you can't completely destroy them. That's to settle for the next best thing and kick them out. ”

Prince Wilhelm and Bismarck also nodded their heads again and again, and Xu Qing obviously told them how to make a strategic plan next. This Xu Qing's strategy is actually borrowed from the way of the Qin Dynasty of China to unify the six countries, of course, there must be certain changes in this according to local conditions. After all, although Austria may be weaker, the gap is not large, and it is impossible to eliminate it as easily as Qin destroyed the Chu State.

"Teacher, what should I do about the Kingdom of Bavaria? After all, the Kingdom of Bavaria is in South Germany, and if they ...... with Austria," Bismarck didn't say much, but only asked, but everyone knew what it meant.

Xu Qing quickly explained: "Actually, very simply, this Bavaria is actually somewhat similar to the Qi Kingdom in our China. Although there is a little bit of strength, it is impossible to really succeed. It is nothing more than surviving under the Qin State, but unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of unifying China. At that time, Qin's strategy towards Qi was to adopt a pacification strategy, which included bribing their important courtiers and giving them certain preferential treatment politically, mainly using political means. ”

"In fact, you must destroy the possibility of potential collusion between Bavaria and Austria, such as marriage, and you must prohibit it in the first place. Whether it is a direct or collateral lineage, it must be forbidden and destroyed by a way. ”

"As for the rest, you may consider giving them special political privileges, and as long as they are assured that they will still have certain privileges and status after reunification in the future, they will also choose to submit. The condition, of course, was that Prussia had to defeat Austria. If Austria cannot be defeated, then this Bavaria must be riding the wall, and it is impossible to really defect to your side. Therefore, this Bavaria should defeat Austria militarily, kill the chicken to show the monkey, and let this Bavaria carry out political inducement. ”

Bismarck and Prince Wilhelm are thinking about Xu Qing's statement here, and Xu Qing's statement can be said to be very powerful, even very long-term insight. Bismarck is currently just a country squire, he is not the "iron-blooded prime minister", although he may have certain ideals at present, but ideals are ideals after all, he does not have the possibility of realizing ideals, and he has not even accumulated enough experience in politics for a long time.

As for Prince William, although he has thought about reunification, he is only a prince at present, and because of historical limitations, he cannot have such a powerful ability.

Now Xu Qing just said the means they will use in the future, so that they are also shocked at once, and they are also very shocked, this method is too advanced.

It could almost provide an important strategic guidance for Prussia's future unification of the German region.

However, Xu Qing's next words made them fall into contemplation again.

"Of course, this alone, at least the means, is not the most important. In order to achieve these means, this must also be carefully considered. Because these are just means to be used when necessary, although this seems to be very good, in this German region, there is still a lot of consideration. “

"Because reunification is not a simple matter, because the situation in your German region is much more complicated than that of China back then. Although the situation in China was somewhat similar at that time, it was not exactly the same. At that time, all the forces in China had generally begun to decline seriously, so the Qin state could be easily eliminated. ”

"As for you in Europe, there are still many issues to consider. For example, internal political opinions, such as businessmen who support liberals, do not necessarily want to be unified by force. And the rulers of your major kingdoms and principalities, and the marriages between the nobles of the major families, are extremely complicated, and they are also a factor that makes them more difficult. ”

"What's even more terrifying is that there was no external interference in China back then, it was our Chinese who unified themselves, and there was no external enemy to interfere politically, so it was easy and simple to unify." But here in Germany, not only are there countries around, but the marriages between nobles are very complicated, and it is easy to be involved in foreign countries. ”

"External interference and the difficulty of distributing internal interests are the biggest problems in the unification of your German regions. As for anything else, it doesn't really matter. ”

Bismarck and Prince Wilhelm also turned dark, obviously very helpless about the situation.
