On the outskirts of Paris, on the farm of an aristocracy, the Napoleon-Bonapartes couple guided them on a tour of their vineyards and threshing fields. Different from the bustling crowds of people and the fiery steelmaking scene seen in the Banque de France and the French steel company, here, which has already entered the slack period, whether it is the vineyards and wheat fields, or from the faces of the farmers who have long been idle in the farmers' association gathered in the farm, there is nothing but coldness and infinite grievances.
"Alas...... "On the way out of a nearby peasant association, Napoleon Bonaparte was obviously saddened by the bitter water poured out by the peasants in the peasant association. While he seemed to be taking heavy steps with great difficulty, he said to Lin Haifeng with a sad heart, "This year's grape and wheat prices have fallen a lot compared with the past, especially the wheat market, which has fallen sharply due to the impact of the Russians." Looking back now, I really regret that I should not have listened to the repeated reminders of your government and lightly let go of this Russian bear who could not do the right thing, but could only make trouble. ”
"Yes," Lin Haifeng nodded, "We in China like to say that we are not poor in food and clothing, and we will only suffer poverty if we can't calculate." However, the matter is over, and it will be over, and you can always grow wiser after eating a trench. ”
"You're absolutely right, my stupid ministers didn't expect that the Russian pigs would be beaten to the ground on the battlefield and still have a good harvest in the fields, otherwise, hum," Napoleon Bonaparte, full of regret, first put the blame for the Crimean armistice on the heads of his men. Then he looked at Lin Haifeng, who was also frowning. "But the problem is...... The problem is that the peasants were expecting to be able to sell their grain outside for a good price, but in fact this idea has completely turned into a beautiful fantasy bubble. Exports are blocked, there is a backlog of grain, you see it too. Today's farmers are worried that this downward trend in food prices will continue. \\\First Launch\\\ To be honest, the current land prices have already made the farmers close to being busy, and if this terrible trend cannot be reversed. I'm afraid that at the beginning of next year, no one will be willing to sow Q in the ground. If that happens, the consequences will be even more terrible, and even our country will start to panic at that time. Alas...... It's not easy to be the head of a family, it's like you being a parent, how can you bear to watch your Q girls die of hunger one by one! ”
Napoleon Bonaparte continued to lay a trap for his "good brothers".
Lin Haifeng was almost laughing out loud at Napoleon Bonaparte's pretentiousness, but the same sadness was revealed on his face, "Alas...... I really didn't expect that His Majesty's care for your people was so meticulous. That's us...... I'm afraid it's not as good as that. ”
"Can't say that. My dear brother," said Napoleon Bonaparte, feeling a bit like a kite flyer, shook his head in anguish and sighed heavily, "actually...... In fact, we have a lot in common. I have carefully read the description of your Government in the report of Bourblon, and in particular the description of your governance is very detailed. You see, in order for the peasants to live a good life and control their own destiny, we have all established peasant associations for them. In order to protect the rights and interests of workers in the factory. We have also all established trade unions. It is precisely because we attach so much importance to the suffering of the peasants and workers that we are in this situation. We will feel the great pain. I wish God had brought all the calamities upon me Napoleon Bonaparte alone, and I pray to the Lord Almighty to give up the punishment of our people. ”
Coming to the luxurious carriage, Napoleon Bonaparte opened the door with his own hands before the officers of the Guards who were already waiting there and Han Muyue, who was following Lin Haifeng, stretched out his hand. He first smiled and asked the two ladies to get into the car, and then struggled with Lin Haifeng for a while, and then reluctantly put his feet on the pedal in front of Lin Haifeng. (3&q&Chinese&first&hair) But he still didn't forget that he had just gotten into the carriage, so he quickly turned around and reached out to pull Lin Haifeng, who came up, and then sat down with his "good brother".
The convoy was launched on a flat avenue.
"Dear Emperor Xià, I have learned a lot from you, really, I said this completely from the heart," Lin Haifeng looked at Napoleon Bonaparte with a humble face, "Although I still have a superficial understanding of the development process of your country, from these superficial understandings alone, I have seen a real and great French nation." Your France, so to speak, is a well-deserved founder of the balance of power foreign policy and the idea of a sovereign state. ”
Next, Lin Haifeng began to sing his best praise aria. He praised Napoleon Bonaparte with great sincerity, saying that the history of France is a great history of resisting the strong with the weak, and then turning from the weak to the strong and helping the weak to control the strong. It is precisely because of the great spirit of fraternity of France that political freedom in all countries of the world has been promoted to the greatest extent. Without the struggle between France and the Great Powers, the armed migration of the Germans and Huns might have barbarized the whole of Europe. The invading armies of the Arab Empire may have converted all of Europe to Islam. The Holy See may establish a European Christian empire. Even the whole world may be monopolized by the British, etc......
He praised Napoleon Bonaparte for the experience and lessons of the British leading the European continent, after scientific study and reference, and then carried out a comprehensive and systematic arrangement again and again, and through the means of the Guò Revolution, and finally with the perfect state system of French nationalism, they made a series of efforts to catch up with it, and finally smashed the sinister conspiracy of Britain to dominate the world by virtue of its leading position.
Back then, King Louis XVI was a strong supporter of the independence movement in British America. He even did not hesitate to send the royal army. Use the blood of French warriors to go to North America to help the people in dire straits. The generous Emperor Napoleon I, His Majesty, preferred to sell a large area of Louisiana, west of the Mississippi River, to the Americans cheaply, thus opening the way to the Pacific Ocean for the Americans and making the United States a territorial power in the full sense of the word. What kind of spirit is this. This is the spirit of authentic French internationalism.
At this point, he also expressed with envy that perhaps it was because of the generous and selfless internationalism of Napoleon I. It will enable the United States to continue to bask in the brilliant sunshine sown by His Majesty Emperor Napoleon I on its journey to become a real world power and power.
He also said that in fact, the regime of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, their new land, fully absorbed the nutrients of France's historical development and looked at the world through the eyes of a simple primary school student, so in the construction of the regime, there will be all kinds of similarities with today's great France. At the same time, it is hoped that His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon-Bonaparte will always give him and his government advice, and with the same broad mind, help the poor and backward to bring with them the still somewhat ignorant old China. Embark on a path to the complete eradication of poverty ("The Eradication of Poverty" is the triumph of Napoleon Bonaparte).
When turning the conversation to the food problem. Lin Haifeng looked very remorseful, and began to complain loudly that Burbulon had committed a "little problem" of reporting good news but not bad news in Tianjing. He said that Burbulon should have been well aware that the government was under a lot of pressure after their Taiping regime was restored. Due to the devastation of the war and the brutal plundering of the Manchu colonists, many areas of the country were in a food panic, and solving the problem of hunger and food for the people became the top priority of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government to completely stabilize the domestic situation. He had also asked the government if it would consider asking for help from the generous and selfless French Emperor, but after careful consideration, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government was worried that such a large amount of grain procurement would bring a heavy burden to its close and friendly French friends, so it was too embarrassed to speak.
But the problem has to be solved. So. He and his government used their brains on the Russians. Due to the rapid northward advance of the Taiping Red Army, and the fact that the Russians were repeatedly attacked by the Red Army of the Celestial Empire on the battlefields of China. The large territory that was sold to the Russians by the Manchu colonists using the Sino-Russian Aihun Treaty did not show too many twists and turns in the process of recovery. However, it is not enough to recover the territory alone, the invasion of the Russians brought a great disaster to the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, countless innocent poor people fell under the butcher's knives of the executioners, and the murderous and barbaric rape of women by the Russian ghosts left an incalculable blood debt, and Tsarist Russia had to pay the price. Claims, naturally, are a matter of course.
Of course, speaking of which, Lin Haifeng could not help but thank the generous Emperor Napoleon III and the great French people. In fact, he said, it is not easy to make a claim, because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot afford to raise so many soldiers and fight, so it cannot put more threats of force in front of the Russians. It was precisely because they had foreseen the complexity of the later claims for compensation that, on the occasion of the recovery of the land sold by the Manchu colonists, the Minister of Tongguò Bourblon asked His Majesty Emperor Napoleon III to issue that very harshly worded warning to the Russian Tsar. For now, the warning of His Majesty the Emperor of France is working. But the Russians are also poor, and they now have nothing but food and people who can breathe. Therefore, at the same time that he came thousands of miles to visit the French emperor, a claim delegation headed by his assistant Yixin also rushed to Aihui to consult with the Russian side on the details of grain as compensation and how to pay compensation.
Lin Haifeng finally sighed and said that if Bourblon had said earlier, then their Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would not have asked the Russians for food anyway, and they would have to use cash to help His Majesty the French Emperor. As for the Russians in the future, if they are forced to smash the pot and sell iron, then he will not hesitate to do it.
Lin Haifeng's nagging words made Napoleon Bonaparte both happy and annoyed.
