"Juan, you're not young anymore, it's time to think about marriage, how about marrying an English princess? Queen Victoria's youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice, is a rare beauty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Empress Mathilde has changed her mourning dress and put on a white dress, which is carefully made of grass and mud and horse velvet, which shines like silk, but is very warm. She also wears a pearl necklace around her neck, each bead is large and round, which is a birthday gift from Zhu Jishi.

"I want a half-race girl, as yellow and white as I am, preferably as pretty as Sister Elizabeth."

"As beautiful as Elizabeth? It's not easy to find. Mathilde glanced at her son, who she knew had a preference for yellow and white races, and that he liked the mix of East Asian yellow and Aryan whites...... But there are not many such people in Donghua and the Confederate States of America, where people are mixed. "Child, marriage is a politics for the king, and what kind of girl you like is one thing, and who you marry."

Jujuan pursed his mouth, he had just drunk Colombian bitter coffee, and there was a faint hint of bitterness in his mouth. "Then I can't marry an English princess either, because it's a marriage between the Bonaparte dynasty and the Saxony-Coburg-Gotha dynasty."

He was now almost confused whether he belonged to the Bonaparte dynasty or the Zhu Ming dynasty. He had little contact with his Chinese brothers, and was well acquainted with a group of young kings with the surname Bonaparte.

"Okay then...... I'll arrange for someone else to marry Princess Beatrice. Empress Mathilde shook her head. Her son is very stubborn, and she has no way to sway him. "So, do something for me."

"Going to China as a lobbyist?" Jujuan smiled coldly. "Mom, you're doing two stupid things at the same time."

Of course, the Mexican empress would not go with the British to put pressure on Zhu Jishi, but she thought that Jujuan could intervene. She believed that France would not be able to deal with Britain with China until Napoleon IV had really matured. Without France's participation, it would have been difficult to distinguish the outcome of the war between China and Britain, so it would not have been fought at all.

Mathilde sat down in the window seat. Outside the window is the magnificent courtyard of the Palace of Versailles. "Why two? I thought it would be foolish to help Britain stop your father from turning the Philippines into a barracks. ”

"Interference in the Spanish Revolution too!"

"Why? Juan, isn't this an opportunity to build the prestige of Napoleon IV? 500,000 Franco-German troops pressed the border. Commanded by the emperor himself, the revolutionaries in Spain could not resist at all. ”

Probably because of Juan and Henry. At the agitation of Bonaparte, Napoleon IV was now very belligerent, clamoring for troops as soon as he heard of a revolution in Spain. And after the British expressed support for French intervention. The little Napoleon couldn't wait to fight. And after weighing it repeatedly, the two female regents also felt quite sure, so they nodded and agreed.

"Spain is an ally of France no matter who is in power, and they are poor and weak, and no one will be afraid of the Franco-German alliance taking Spain." Juan reminded his mother, "What's more, France has only one bullet in the chamber, and if it is used in Spain, how can it deter Russia and Austria, which are preparing to do wrong?" ”

"We're going to win soon. As soon as the Franco-German forces entered Spanish territory, they would win. ”

Jujuan shook his head repeatedly, "Russia and Austria will still use this time to attack Greece and Serbia." Maybe 1 million troops! The standing armies of these two countries are large enough to dispatch that man. What will we do then? ”

"My mission is only to keep France and the Luo Empire." Mathilde doesn't care about authenticity. It's not like she hasn't thought about this possibility. But she has already decided to abandon Serbia and Greece. "Once Russia gets Greece and Austria gets Serbia, there will be no common interests between the two countries. Then we will be able to win over Austria, so that the Reich will have peace of mind. ”

Jujuan sneered, "If Bismarck had been made emperor of Austria, things would probably have turned out like this, right?" He shook his head. But Franz. Joseph...... When did he make the right choice? ”

Mathilde was silent for a moment before frowning, "Juan." What do you think Franz. What stupid thing would Joseph do? You don't want to fight France to the death, do you? ”

"It's not that ...... I suppose he might have wanted to add the words 'all the German nation' to the name of the Holy Roman Empire? ”

"Fight with Germany?" Mathilde laughed, "Franz. If only Joseph were that stupid. She looked at her son with some doting, "Juan, let's not talk about Europe." You go back to China, take the ironclad of the USS Mexico, and then take Maria. Morality. Princess Lapas brought her, she arrived in France a week ago. I think that for the sake of this generous gift and your face, your father will accept mediation. ”

Jujuan was noncommittal, but looked at his mother seriously, "Mom, go back to Mexico." If you don't feel at ease with Eugène, let Henry stay, he is more suitable to be regent than you. ”

Mathilde smiled bitterly, "It's my responsibility!" Juan, you better hurry up and hit the road! I don't want your father to fight with the British. ”

"If you can't fight, at least not yet!" Jujuan stood up, walked to the door, and suddenly looked back at his mother, "Mother, if you want to work in peace for the past five years, you must find a way to aid the Serbian and Greek resistance. Those are two mountainous countries, similar to the topography of the Rocky Mountains, and this is Europe, and genocide is very difficult to carry out! ”

Jujuan meant to have Mother support the Serbs and Greeks in the guerrilla war, delaying as much time as possible for Austria and Russia to take full control of both countries. This is what he learned from his war with the Indians - guerrilla warfare is very difficult to deal with, especially if there is the intervention and support of a powerful country!

When he had just returned from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France, he had no understanding of this and went to war rashly because of several incidents in which the Indians killed Chinese immigrants (in fact, they were brawls between the two sides, each with casualties). As a result, the scale of the war became bigger and bigger, and in the end, more than 200,000 troops were invested in fighting for two years, and genocidal methods were used, but they did not completely succeed. It was still up to Juarez to mediate to settle the matter. If the same thing happened to Serbia and Greece with the same complex terrain, it would definitely become a bleeding wound for Russia and Austria!

"I see, you can go quickly." Mathilde smiled at his son and said, "If there is a suitable girl in China, you will marry her, and I will wait to hold my grandson." ”

"Definitely, I'll be a father soon." Jujuan turned away and left Mathilde's room.

Forty officers and men of the Guards cavalry from Donghua were already waiting outside the stables of the Palace of Versailles, and they were Juan's personal guards. A carriage marked with a Bourbon iris was also waiting there, and a noblewoman who spoke Spanish stood on the side of the carriage and introduced herself when she saw Juan approaching. It turned out that she was a female official of the Spanish court, a countess (female officials of the European court were held by noble ladies), and she was escorted to the marriage of the Duchess of Manila. She also told Jujuan that the duchess was in the carriage.

Jujuan glanced through the glass window of the carriage and saw only a chubby little girl eating some kind of snack inside, and immediately had no interest in continuing contact. After a few casual commands, he asked his entourage to bring his mount. Juan grew up in a military academy since he was a child, and he has a full military style, basically does not ride in a carriage, and likes to use military horses to travel. The horse he now rides was brought from Mexico and followed him into battle. Juan doesn't give the horse a name, though.

"Let's go, go to Le Havre, we're leaving France!" He shouted at his soldiers.

"Marshal, where are we going?" One of his officers asked aloud. Juan had the title of Marshal of the Mexican Empire, and he liked to have his subordinates call him that.

"Go to China! See what our haunting hometown looks like! (To be continued)
