Chapter 65: Augustus
What the?!
This caution surprised everyone a little. Then I felt convinced. The dragon god is indeed a Chinese totem, the god of heaven! It's not for the sake of worldly power - and people don't look down on it.
The rulers of the mortal world have tried to adopt the "policy of fooling the people", and the less the common people know, the better. It's a good thing that Lord Ryujin actually asks everyone to clearly know the situation of the country they are in, and use every means to open up the wisdom of the people, which is an unprecedented feat!
London, United Kingdom. Buckingham Palace.
There is a huge palace. It was empty, and there was no furnishings in it. It's just that on the very central ground, there is a huge golden cross figure. Queen Victoria, dressed in fine clothes, stands quietly in the center of the intersection of the crosses.
The roof of the palace seemed to have some kind of luminous device, and the light cast stretched the queen's figure very long. It seems to be one with the cross on the ground.
The queen has a beautiful face and delicate facial features. Compared to the average European, it seems to be more gentle and soft, not so cold. Although the temperament exuded from the body is gentle, it makes people feel irresistible and want to bow and worship......
In the empty palace, Victoria, with her eyes closed, suddenly spoke.
"Augustus, since you have come. Don't sneak into hiding. β
But there was no one in this empty hall!
But with the queen's voice, there was a sudden ripple of water in the void in the northeast corner. Then a handsome man wearing a headdress composed of olive branches and a white robe walked out of the void. He was a typical white European, handsome and looked sacred.
"Victoria, how is my time travel technique?"
The man smiled and walked over to Queen Victoria.
At this time, Queen Victoria, who had been keeping her eyes closed, finally slowly opened her eyes and let out a sigh of relief. said lightly: "Augustus, can you not be so naΓ―ve? It's just a simple stealth technique. You've been hiding here for a long time, aren't you? Hehe, time travel. This kind of thing should only exist in mythology. Not even Christ Jesus. β
Augustus pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders: "Oh Victoria, you really don't have a sense of humor." In the eyes of ordinary people, is there any difference between us and mythology? Is there any difference with angels? β
Victoria frowned, no longer seeing, still with a cold expression: "Mortals can't tell the difference, if you and I can't tell the difference, we are not worthy of spreading the glory of the Lord." β
Victoria, a handsome young man, snapped his fingers, and a sudden fluctuation flashed in the air, and then a translucent chair slowly appeared. He sat down and let the chair fly around in the air with him: "You see, if mortals see me, what is the messenger of God in the world if they don't take me?" By the way, Victoria, I heard that in the far east, the decaying empire called the Great Qing Dynasty was divided. A man who claimed to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ founded a nation called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? β
Seeing that he was down to business, Victoria's cold expression just now softened slightly: "That's right. People in parliament say it's an opportunity. You can try to contact them secretly. After all, the Qing State was too large in area and too large in population, making it an excellent colony. We've got to do a lot of preparation. β
The young man named Augustus jumped down from the sky and landed in front of Queen Victoria: "Victoria, I'm going to take a trip to the East!" It's been a long time since I've been out, and it's boring. Those old guys in the Holy See annoy me every day, and the Pope even forced me to study the Bible, which was boring. I heard that although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was decadent and backward, there were also very prosperous places. For example, in coastal Guangdong Province, and I also want to go to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to meet the guy who claims to be the younger brother of Jesus. It's definitely interesting. β
"With such a reckless character, I don't feel at ease when you go to the East alone."
"What's not to worry about? In such a barbaric, backward, and decadent country, can anyone hurt me? What's more, I am also an admiral in the British Royal Navy, although it is a false title. But it's okay to send me a small fleet of a few hundred people to play around, right? β
Victoria seemed to be a little helpless by this young man named Augustus, so she could only nod: "Okay, then you can go to Qingguo, and go out for a walk." But be careful, I've been a little restless lately, and I always feel like something is going to happen. After all, it is a country with a 5,000-year-old heritage, and it should not be taken lightly. β
Augustus laughed, "My great Queen Victoria, under your wise rule. The British Empire is already invincible in the world, and wherever the sun shines, there is our territory. Some people have already begun to call us the Empire on which the sun never sets! If you are like this, what else do you have to worry about? Don't be too careful. Well, I'm leaving, and when I'm going to get back from the East, we'll get married. Okay? I am the only son of the Augustus family, and I will never disgrace you. β
After saying that, regardless of Victoria's willingness, he kissed her directly on the face, and then hurried away - as if he was afraid that Victoria would be angry.
It's just that after he left, Queen Victoria, who had been cold as ice, also showed a hint of red and a smile on her face. I finally have a little bit of a little daughter's posture. Otherwise, with her current personality in her early twenties, she would be too old to become a little.
Daoguang twenty-three years of deep winter. Augustus set out from London for the East. What he didn't know at this time was that his trip to the East was going to make the Augustus family, who had been brilliant in the West for countless years, come to an end! Unbeknownst to him, after his death, the angry fiancΓ©e Victoria launched an all-out attack on the East and fought a war with the future Chinese Divine Kingdom that lasted for more than ten years......
Almost at the same time that Augustus set off from London. The Manchu court's orders for the transfer of troops also reached the provinces where heavy troops were stationed.
This time, in order to maintain the dignity of the so-called imperial court, the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be said to have invested a lot of money.
A large number of troops were drawn from Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, totaling 500,000! It surrounded the three provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou from all sides, and prepared to completely flatten the newly established Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at one time. All the attention of the Manchus was focused on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In other words, the eyes of the whole world that are paying attention to the East are focused on the Heavenly Kingdom of Balances!
As a result, the troops in the neighboring provinces of Guangdong finally became empty...... (To be continued.) )
