Men have the money to learn badly and play with women? If a woman learns badly, she will be rich? Lin Haijiang still remembers this proverb of later generations!

How about the Prussians having money? To go to war? It's the gentlemen who play a little exciting, and the Prussians really play exciting! However, this stimulus is a bit too sudden for Lin Haijiang, he is not ready to intervene in any war, and Lin Haijiang's main idea at present is development, development, and redevelopment!

Lin Haijiang let down the official document from the Prussian side and let out a long sigh, there was no secret agreement on the official document. In the hands of Count Dewes, according to Zhang Yunji, it can only be handed over to him. The Earl of D'Avis expressed his heartfelt congratulations on the founding of the Chinese Empire.

Prussia, much stronger than it was historically, also seemed to be actively preparing for its unification? The rise of Prussia was bound to collide with the ambitious Second French Empire.

In Lin Haijiang's memory, the Franco-Prussian War was a war that broke out between the Kingdom of Prussia in order to unify Germany and compete with France for hegemony on the European continent. Historically, however, the war was started by France, and later in the war, Prussia transformed the war from a war of self-defense into a war of aggression. The result was a resounding victory for Prussia and the establishment of the Second German Reich on January 18, 1871, a battle known as the Franco-German War between Germany and France.

The Franco-Prussian War took place from 1870 to 1871, it was deliberately provoked by the Kingdom of Prussia to achieve German unification and territorial expansion, and the Second French Empire, which tried to maintain its hegemony in Europe for many years, has always tried its best to prevent the unification of Germany, and at the same time wanted to occupy the German territory on the left bank of the Rhine.

In early July 1870, Prince Leopold, a relative of King William I of Prussia, agreed to go to Spain to inherit the throne at the invitation of the Spanish political axe. France was worried that Prussia would unite against France, fearing that their strength would increase greatly and be unfavorable to France, so France vigorously opposed it, so this internal affair of a third country triggered a struggle between the two great powers in Europe.

But now it is only 1859, in Lin Haijiang's view, historical events need to be coordinated by historical timing, and he does not see any suitable international opportunity for Prussia to trigger this great war, although Prussia is much stronger than in history, and rushing to war should not be the surname of the Prussians? So why did the Prussians rush for a while?

It can be said that Prussia defeated Denmark and Austria in 1864 and 1866 in order to unify Germany, but France still controlled the South German states behind the scenes, trying to hinder the unification of Germany.

After the end of the Austro-Prussian War, the French Emperor Napoleon III asked Bismarck to agree to annex part of Bavaria and Hesse-Darmstadt on the west bank of the Rhine with France, as a reward for France's conservative neutrality in the Austro-Prussian War. Bismarck flatly refused, and immediately informed the Bavarian king and the southern German states of Napoleon III's intentions, thus creating a fear of France in the southern German states. Taking advantage of this mentality of the South Germans, Bismarck concluded a secret offensive and defensive alliance with them.

Could it be that Prussia was targeting Denmark and Austria? Lin Haijiang frowned and turned the globe repeatedly, if Prussia once entered a state of war, it would be quite unfavorable for himself, at least the battleships ordered by Prussia to carry machinery and equipment could not pass smoothly between Europe and Asia, although Britain did not participate in the land war in this war, but the British Royal Navy broke almost all Prussian ports and merchant fleets, and the British made a fortune according to the belligerent conventions The result of plundering and windfall directly led to Prussia's inability to expand the results of the war in the later period.

The development of Prussia is closely related to its own development and construction, and after Lin Haijiang decided to deal with Cixi, he immediately returned to the old port to communicate with Feng Haijiang. The Earl of Dwys interviewed him, and he wanted to spend all the money he had before Prussia could make any moves, and Prussia itself had built four 7,000-ton Hamburg-class ironclad ships, and Lin Haijiang decided to pay a high price for these four battleships built and equipped with twin 260 mm 20 times the caliber naval guns.

On the morning of April 24, 1859, all the battleships of the Nanyang Navy Division began to assemble at full pressure, and the Zhenyuan ship began to dock slowly.

Lin Haijiang stood on the bridge and looked at the scale and style of Cixi's trip, he was very smacked, the Qing Kingdom is too rich, it can be said that the money of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is spent where it should not be spent, why should a simple trip be so unbearable under the premise of ensuring safety?

Lin Haijiang knew that even if the Manchus, who were now borrowing money to pay reparations, could build the Beiyang Fleet of their dreams, it would be just a fleet without bones, and the Manchu Qing's policy of seclusion and fooling the people could only make it slowly enter a cycle of evil, and this time borrowing from the Russians accelerated the speed of the cycle.

However, soon there was a problem with boarding, that is, Duke Gomocherov and Vice Admiral Duraveyev, who were mixed in the entourage, pulled out the gendarmes, and a small dispute broke out between the two sides, as a result, the arrogance and rudeness of Duke Gomocherov and Vice Admiral Duravyev, who thought they were noble, were punched and kicked by the military police who had an absolute advantage in numbers.

However, the fight between the Russian minister, Duke Gomocherov, and Vice Admiral Duraviev made Yixin very nervous, and Prince Gong's signboard did not play a role in the old port gendarmerie.

Lin Haijiang, who originally thought it was a trivial matter, could only come forward to deal with it after hearing about it, after all, it was the Russian minister and a general who were beaten, and for Lin Haijiang, who had no intention of causing international disputes and was bent on development, he had the opportunity to repair the polar bear in the future.

When Lin Haijiang boarded the Dingyuan ship on a traffic boat, he was surprised to find that the so-called Duke Gomocherov and Vice Admiral Duravyev were actually wearing the clothes of the palace Sulla's miscellaneous servants?

A trace of vigilance suddenly rose in Lin Haijiang's heart? What do the Russians want to do? Sneaking on a ship without a sound? Lin Haijiang looked at the main guns of the Dingyuan ship and understood in an instant that the Russians wanted to spy on the structural design of the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan ships, so as to further understand the true combat effectiveness of their fleet.

Lin Haijiang looked at Duke Gomocherov, the Russian minister plenipotentiary, Duke Gomocherov was obviously not a professional in ship design, and another person who was said to be a Russian admiral was the focus.

Duke Gomocherov and Lieutenant General Duravyev both spoke English, so communication with Lin Haijiang became much easier, Duke Gomocherov first accused himself of being illegally attacked, and he arrogantly shouted: "You barbaric and ignorant Qing people, this is a naked provocation against the Russian Empire, beating the minister is a declaration of war, and he wants to make Lin Haijiang pay the price." ”

Lin Haijiang looked at the fingers dangling in front of his nose, and suddenly had an urge to break Duke Gomochelov's finger, but Lin Haijiang's impulse was finally suppressed, he knew that no matter how excessive he was at this moment, Tsarist Russia would not turn his face with the Qing court, because there was a mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides, and the Russians had a clear relationship between the Qing court and themselves, so even if he broke off Duke Gomocherov's nasty finger, the Russians would not be recorded in the Qing court's account.

So Lin Haijiang just smiled indifferently and said, "Your Excellency Duke Gomocherov, is this a circus?" Are you playing the role of a clown here? Thanks to the fact that you are wearing the costume of the miscellaneous Sulla, otherwise my gendarmes would probably have pulled you and your men to the clean, that is, to cut off the **, and you will say goodbye to women forever in your life! ”

Duke Gomocherov, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was suddenly dumbfounded, Lin Haijiang smiled slightly and continued: "Since you all know that we are barbaric and ignorant, of course you should know that ignorant barbarians cannot have any law, so you can only consider yourself unlucky when you are beaten by ignorant barbarians!" I can only express deep sympathy and regret for what happened to the two of you, and if you need to declare war, I will send you two to the Zhenyuan ship to meet the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty directly. ”

Duke Gomocherov has really met the lord who is not afraid of making things big this time! Although he had heard of Lin Haijiang's audacity, he didn't expect that Lin Haijiang was a militant at all, and from the flickering gaze of the other party, Duke Gomocherov found that this Lin Haijiang seemed to be very willing for the empire to declare war with the Qing State?

At present, the empire and the Qing state are entering the so-called honeymoon period, the empire will provide the Qing country with the equivalent of 35 million taels of silver ship munitions, this loan needs to be repaid by the Qing country in five years in five installments at the ratio of six to four tons of silver in kind plus 18% interest, and the Qing country will continue to make concessions in the Far East, so the current empire will not rashly declare war with the Qing state for the sake of the minister being beaten, Duke Gomocherov believes that even if he is killed, the empire will at most attach compensation conditions, and will not use force.

The feeling of being seen through made Duke Gomocherov feel very bad, although he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, but the two unexpectedly refused Lin Haijiang's kindness to send the two off the ship for medical treatment, and insisted on changing clothes and staying on the Dingyuan ship.

Captain Yang Tianhua received Duke Gomochlov and Vice Admiral Duravyev with a smile on his face, invited the two into his room, and then put four armed sentries at the door, in the name of protecting the minister's safety, in fact, to prevent the two from snooping around.

For failing to throw these two dog skin plasters into the sea, Lin Haijiang was slightly upset, after returning to the Zhenyuan ship, the fleet had just set off, and the high-spirited An Dehai was shouting outside the bridge, Lin Haijiang sent someone to ask, it turned out that Cixi was in the war room ready to summon him?

Looking at Lin Haijiang with a helpless face, Zhang Wei and the others also had a bad smile on their faces, in fact, Lin Haijiang also knew that he didn't have to be too polite to the Qing court, because it was a foregone conclusion that he would turn his face and pull the flag and set off the cannons, but his C-shaped chain island encirclement had not yet been completed, and Hainan Island and Taiwan were still engaged in the construction of infrastructure projects, especially road construction and railway laying.

Lin Haijiang has already introduced it into the development and construction of Hainan according to the previous agreement with Britain and France, and according to Lin Haijiang's intentions, it is better to obtain a loan in Britain and France.

An Dehai's hustle and bustle [***] Haijiang is also the first time to see it, looking at the guy who led the way in front of him chattering about how difficult he is, how to be loyal to the imperial court, Lin Haijiang feels very ridiculous and funny, An Dehai is not as good as Li Lianying, nor is he as powerful as those great eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty in history, the reason why he can leave a name in history is entirely because he served a very famous master in history, Cixi!

Lin Haijiang ignored An Dehai's bribery, and An Dehai's attitude towards the front seemed to be getting worse and worse, constantly saying something vague with a sharp voice and extremely fast speed?

Lin Haijiang frowned slightly, he knew that eunuchs had a special slang for scolding, but he wasn't sure what An Dehai was muttering now was that if this dead eunuch dared to scold himself, Lin Haijiang would not hesitate to throw him into the sea and leave him to fend for himself.

However, there is one thing that Lin Haijiang really admires An Dehai, he deliberately let the two armed marines who led the way before follow him, you must know that the Zhenyuan ship has been isolated because of a number of high-power steam engines and artillery with a stepped layout, and the internal layout of the ship can be said to be relatively complicated, and it is easy to get lost if the first-time boarder does not have a week to adapt, but An Dehai, who has only walked once, has not been lost.

At the door of the war room, An Dehai stopped Lin Haijiang who pushed the door and wanted to enter, and after looking up and down with a very uncomfortable look at Lin Haijiang, he said in a sharp voice: "Do you understand the rules?" What's the mess? Don't have a head? The miscellaneous family lets you in, you can enter! ”

Lin Haijiang raised his hand with a crisp slap, and then smiled slightly: "What do you think is An Dehai here?" This is my battleship, where do I want to go, who dares to stop me to try? Are you not castrated? How many times do you want me to find someone to castrate you? ”

In the face of Lin Haijiang's domineering An Dehai was completely dumbfounded, An Dehai was not a fool, he had heard all kinds of jokes when the two-pole commander entered the palace before, and it was rumored that this was the master who was going to rebel, but An Dehai found that the soldiers on the Nanyang warship did not cut off their braids, and there was no criticism of the court, so he concluded that Nanyang Lin Haijiang was at least not ready to rebel, since he was not a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, since he was a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and if he wanted to go in front of the queen mother, he would naturally have the benefits of being the chief manager. As a result, Lin Haijiang gave him an absolutely big surprise and a big slap in the face.

The four Ouchi guards standing on either side of the corridor were already standing with expressionless faces, while eight Marines with two guns stood on the periphery of the guards in a protective stance, pistols at their waists as if to warn them not to do anything stupid in the narrow passage of ships.

In fact, the four guards have already noticed the guns and swords on Lin Haijiang's body, but the guards who are caught in the middle and are under protection are still unable to perform their duties and missions, and there has been an explanation in it before, Nanyang Admiral Lin Haijiang is different from ordinary courtiers, special affairs, not to mention that this Nanyang Admiral Yagen did not wear the official robe of the Qing Dynasty, but wore a military uniform that looked like a foreigner?

The dispute outside the door made the door suddenly opened, and a curious little palace maid looked out of the door, when she saw the head of An Da staring at a young man who looked very strange without an official uniform like a fighting? And the five-finger mountain on the face of the general manager of Anda is clearly visible.

The door was slammed shut, but it was soon opened again, but this time the door was opened by Ai Yena, and Lin Haijiang, who was quite impressed by Ai Yena, was suddenly a little surprised, because in history, Prince Yi Zaiyuan was a person who couldn't die, but now I don't know why Zaiyuan saved his surname?

Seeing Lin Haijiang staring at her, Ai Yena blushed and said, "Don't be stupid, hurry up and go to the Queen Mother!" ”

Lin Haijiang smiled slightly, brushed Ai Yena's body and flashed past, only then did Ai Ye Na realize that the gap in her door seemed to be a little smaller?

When An Dehai also wanted to follow up, suddenly a Marine Corps officer with a black face with a naval military police logo stretched out his hand and said, "Stand back!" ”

An Dehai was stunned for a moment and said, "Master is the chief manager?" Who dares to stop you? ”

The black-faced gendarmerie officer said disdainfully: "Put away your majesty, this is not Yanjing City, if you dare to call the lord again, I will beat you like those two Russian pig's heads now, if you dare to go beyond the color-changing cordon, you will be killed on the spot." ”

"I don't believe it today!" An Dehai raised his voice, hoping to attract the attention of the people in the room, but he didn't move forward an inch under his feet, on the contrary, he retreated a little, because the news that the Russian minister was beaten when he boarded the ship The queen mother already knew about it, and the Russians had nothing to do but changed their clothes and secretly got on the ship, and as a result, the white dragon fish was beaten in vain, and An Dehai naturally wouldn't bother with this gang of unreasonable Qiu Ba, if he really took a good beating, then his face as a general manager would be completely swept away.

However, how did An Dehai know that as soon as Lin Haijiang entered with his front foot, the gendarmes outside the door pulled out the soundproof sliding door, so the sound in the corridor could not be transmitted at all.

Cixi looked at Lin Haijiang, who was dressed in a snow-white military uniform, and did not have the slightest posture that the courtiers wanted to see, so in order to avoid embarrassment, she waved her hand and said: "Aiqing is exempt, you all retreat!" The mourning family wants to tell Admiral Lin! ”

Cixi's cold tone made Ai Ye Na glance at Lin Haijiang worriedly, for Lin Haijiang did not wear court clothes but wore a set of Western military uniforms to see the queen mother, Ai Yena's heart was pulled up? Lin Haijiang won't really be the opposite, right?
