Commuter pass, where is the commuter pass? Rolls sells cute monthly passes

Hong Kong, Ap Lei Chau Military Academy.

"We've been together as a family for almost a year, and it's time to have to be separated for a while. Xiangmei, your trip to England can not be delayed any longer, it is now a north wind, just hanging the sails to the south, and the wind direction of the Indian Ocean is also westward, which is conducive to the westward journey. Nanyang Company has a newest flying clipper sailing ship that is about to go west, so it is better for you to go on the road with Andrew in three days, or go early and return early. When you get to Europe, Andrew will take you to meet Maria first. Clementina, give her my letter, and she'll arrange everything for you. ”

Zhu Jishi knocked on the table and arranged for his wife Luo Xiangmei to travel west to Europe.

This was arranged for haode a long time ago, but due to Luo Xiangmei's pregnancy and childbirth, it was almost time to leave. As for Maria. The correspondence between Clementina and Zhu Jishi had not been broken, and the woman was still campaigning for Bonaparte's cause. By the way, she is no longer the Duchess of Segur, but the Duchess of Segur. Her husband died not long ago at the Dutte estate, and according to the will, 60% of the Ségur family's fortune and dukedom were inherited by this "bed politician". The popularity of a French duchess with a huge fortune in high society in Europe is naturally imaginable on his heels. With her help, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang will be able to secure the best possible treaty.

Andrew. Jones, a World Bank executive, will also serve as general manager of the UK headquarters. William will travel east to Hong Kong to take over the duties of the five major foreign banks, namely the World Bank, Nanyang Bank, HSBC Bank, Segur Bank and the newly established Lan Fong Bank. In addition to the transfer of commercial positions. Andrew. Jones will also serve as the Minister of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang to the United Kingdom, and will be responsible for negotiations with Britain together with Luo Xiangmei.

There are two main points in the negotiations with Britain. The first is to preserve Lanfang's sovereignty to the greatest extent, especially to prevent Britain from sending a governor to Lanfang. Nor could the Grand Duchy of Lanfang be placed under the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalty of the Straits Settlements.

The second is Lanfang's export of foreign labor services. Behind this, of course, is the surplus labor force of the whole of China, not only to export, but also to protect their most basic rights and interests. It is unrealistic to expect the UK to provide them with full protection, but at least to provide protection to the "citizens of Lanfang" in the South Seas. The indigenous people and colonizers of the Philippines and Lanyin cannot be allowed to kill and expel them wantonly. In addition, it was necessary to try to get as many laborers as possible to export labor to the British colonies and semi-colonies of Australia and Hawaii – the situation in Hawaii was somewhat similar to that of Lanfang, and the Hawaiian king had also sought protection from the British government and received certain assurances that it was a British protectorate. However, it still retains a considerable amount of sovereignty and is only one step away from independence. Later, the United States openly annexed Hawaii. Nor did it provoke British interference.

In general, it is not easy to achieve these goals. However, Zhu Jishi is very interested in Maria. Clementina is still fully confident in her mobility. Also, in Maria. In a letter sent to the East not long ago, Clementina also informed Zhu Jishi that the current situation in Europe was extremely unstable. A large-scale potato mycosis in Ireland caused a great famine, and the British government was unable to save it, so Queen Victoria only donated 1,000 pounds and prevented the Ottoman Sultan from donating 10,000 pounds. The result was a wave of protests by the Irish in the UK. Calls for Irish independence are on the rise, and there have been a number of bombing attacks in Britain by Irish anarchists due to poor management of ammonium oil bombs, and the situation is very tense.

Maria. Clementina predicted in the letter. Within three years, there is a high probability that a revolution will take place that will affect most of Europe. It would be a good opportunity for the Bonapartists to come to power in France, if Zhu Jishi could establish a kingdom in southern China before that. She was willing to fulfill her previous promises.

Hearing the task assigned by Zhu Jishi, Luo Xiangmei glanced at her husband with some reluctance. "Well, I'll definitely listen to Sister Maria's arrangement. The result of the trip to England will not disappoint Xianggong. ”

Andrew. Jones also nodded, "Jason, at most a year and a half, there will be results coming back from Europe, you can rest assured." ”

Zhu Jishi smiled and nodded. He believed in Maria. According to Clementina's analysis, Napoleon III must have been restored in history, and it is estimated that Liliang overthrew the Orleans dynasty with the help of the revolutionary wave in Europe.

When he was discussing, he heard a knock on the door outside, and then the military Zuo Zongtang and the spy leader Zheng Hongji hurriedly walked in, with a faint anxiety on their faces. After the Dapeng Right Camp on Lantau Island "abandoned the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty," the situation along the coast of Guangdong suddenly became tense. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Cantonese naval division did not send troops to attack Lantau Island, everyone knew that the battle between the two sides was only a matter of time. Zuo Zongtang and Zheng Hong's energy was also mainly focused on the north.

"Military advisor, Marquis Yanping, is there any movement in the Manchu Dynasty?" Zhu Jishi asked eagerly.

"Nope." Zuo Zongtang frowned and said, "Except for the increase in the garrison of the Kowloon Walled City to 2,000, there is no movement in the Eight Banners and Green Battalions in Guangdong. ”

The absence of movement does not mean that the Manchus are ready to pinch their noses and admit the reality of the loss of Lantau Island, but only that there will be a more violent storm coming!

"Ming Gong, the people of the Hong family are here again." Zheng Hong handed a letter of worship to Zhu Jishidao, "Hong Renji, Hong Renfa and that ...... Hong Xuanjiao has arrived at the Deep Water Bay mansion, and is being accompanied by the second and third aunts. ”

Hong Xiuquan's three brothers and sisters arrived in Hong Kong a few days ago when Zhu Jishi led troops to attack Lantau Island. Arriving with them were more than a dozen Guangxi teenagers who applied for the Yaleizhou Military Academy, and one of them was a sixteen-year-old boy who attracted Zhu Jishi's attention, because his name was Shi Dakai!

In addition to Shi Dakai, Hong Xiuquan also sent a celebrity to Zhu Jishi, who was the famous female general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations, Xi Wang Niang, Tianwang Mei, Hong Xuanjiao! said that he was going to serve Zhu Jishi's pillow seat...... But such a good thing as a beauty falling from the sky was rejected by Zhu Jishi.

Because he didn't really want to marry Hong Xiuquan, the cult leader.

Hearing that the Hong family came to visit again, Zhu Jishi waved his hand, "No! They worship God and make it clear that they don't want to be bound by us, they just want us to ask for money and things, and we can't have a deep friendship with them. ”

Zuo Zongtang said lightly: "Duke Ming, you should take Hong Xuanjiao as a concubine, we need to worship God now to share the pressure." ”

Luo Xiangmei next to her also smiled: "Xianggong, Hong Xuanjiao's girl I have seen, she is bewitching, if she is included in the house, she will have some fun." ”

Zhu Jishi smiled, Chinese women in this era are really virtuous! He shook his head slightly and sighed: "I'm afraid that this girl doesn't have the same heart as us, she is Hong Xiuquan's sister!" ”

"So what?" Zuo Zongtang waved his hand indifferently, "It's just a non-first scholar who pretends to be a ghost, and he will be raised as a marquis in the future." ”

Zhu Jishixin said, how can this Hong Xiuquan be bought by a Hou? But right now, I do need this ally.

Thinking of this, he dismissed the meeting and took a ferry with Luo Xiangmei from Ap Lei Chau back to Hong Kong Island. As soon as I entered the living room of the Deep Water Bay mansion, I saw a delicate and delicate girl greet me.

"The little woman Hong Xuanjiao has seen Ming Gong." The girl was blessed and reported to her home. Although it is only a plain Luo skirt, her eyebrows are picturesque and beautiful, and she is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Clementina-like enchantment.

"You are Hong Xuanjiao?" Zhu Jishi looked at the little beauty who was obviously supposed to be Lori, but revealed a coquettish beauty that only a glamorous woman has, and said in his heart, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, is not shallow! Eh, now that I am a lot of good fortune, I don't know how much affection the little beauty has for Hong Xiuquan? If you can be as single-minded as the Luo family sisters and Wang Yunjiao, it would be a beautiful thing.

"Back to Minggong's words, she is the contemptible little sister Xuanjiao." The little fat man on the side, Hong Renji, took a step forward and bowed, "Xuanjiao's little sister has some posture, and she has admired Ming Gong for a long time. (To be continued......)
