"You're Zhang Sanqi, right? Retired from the army, disabled and brave, don't you have your documents? Ye Zhao suddenly asked the old man.

The old man suddenly heard Ye Zhao talking to him, and immediately felt like he had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly fell to one knee, with tears in his eyes, and choked up: "It's me, you...... You're a good old man......"

A guard had already gone to pick him up, and Ye Zhao also walked over, stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and said, "The imperial concubine still remembers you, you were injured in the Battle of Changsha, right?" ”

was held by Ye Zhao's hand, the old man's body trembled violently, and he coughed even more excitedly, the emperor and the generalissimo were there, and he remembered that he was a nobody, Zhang Sanqi was so frightened that he almost fainted, he wanted to retract his hand, but he didn't dare, his mind was blank, his ears were buzzing, and he could only hear the emperor's unusually loud and soft voice, like an ethereal voice outside the sky: "Come to take the subway by yourself, no family to take care of?" Is there a deduction of money every month? ”

Zhang Sanqi shook his head again and again, and was speechless for a while.

The Frenchman Queiro and the patrol officer were puzzled when they saw a circle of people suddenly appearing talking to the old man, but when they saw Ye Zhao's pomp, they didn't go up to disturb it, but Queiro sneered and said to the patrolman: "How to deal with it, I can see that I will arrive at the station." ”

Zhang Sanqi had already come back to his senses a little at this time, and after listening to the meaning of the emperor's words, he knew that the emperor was not a secret private visit, stabilized his mind, suddenly fell to his knees, and said loudly: "Retired first-class soldier Zhang Sanqi has seen the master, please say hello to the emperor and his mother, long live the emperor, long live long live!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Get up." And he said, "Come and sit beside me." ”

Although Zhang Sanqi was frightened, he still sat on Ye Zhao's side with the support of the guards, and the matchmaker smiled at him and said, "How are these years?" ”

Zhang Sanqi didn't dare to look directly at the matchmaker, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Xie Niangniang, the villain has no worries about food and clothing." He hurriedly returned to Ye Zhao's words and said: "No one deducts the villain's monthly money, the villain said that when he saw the emperor and his mother today, he was really afraid of losing Pingyuan Buyong's face, and he was afraid of tarnishing the name of the emperor and his mother, so he didn't want to ......."

Ye Zhao bowed his head slightly, and said, "I'm old, coughing up phlegm, what's not to be ashamed of?" Who doesn't have an old age? You're thinking too much. ”

"Yes, it's ......" Zhang Sanqi blushed, but he slowly stood up, sitting beside the general in the past and the long live lord now, only to feel like a needle prick, and it was more comfortable to stand up.

Ye Zhao asked again, "Are you going to the outer city?" ”

Zhang Sanqi said shyly: "The villain heard that the underground train is using electricity, and there is no black smoke, so I want to see it fresh." ”

Ye Zhao laughed: "Isn't that the same as me?" ”

Zhang Sanqi flicked his sleeves again, and said: "Long live the master to create a thousand years of achievements, hundreds of millions of people, all the blessings!" "This is sincerity and sincerity.

When Zhang Sanqi paid a big salute, the passengers had already begun to whisper, and the patrol police were even more surprised, and the accompanying imperial study clerk whispered to him that "the emperor personally experienced the electric locomotive and traveled with the people", and took out the waist card to show his truth.

When Ye Zhao ordered the guards to call the patrol police over, the patrol was already about to faint with joy, and came to Ye Zhao tremblingly, not daring to look up, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "This trip is good, you are also hard, the gentleman is not a weapon, you must remember your tolerance." ”

The patrol officer said yes again and again, and he was already terrified that he didn't know what year it was.

The whereabouts were leaked, and when the subway reached the first stop, Ye Zhao and the others got off the train, and then the patrol police in the carriage came back to their senses, slapped their heads, and shouted: "Grandpa!" Isn't this the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave? ”

The passengers in the carriage exchanged their heads and ears, and then they knew that it was the emperor who took the subway and experienced the people's feelings, and the carriage immediately made a mess, some bowed to the north, some cried, and patted the door to stop the car so that they could get off the train and kowtow, and the people in the whole carriage simply became crazy.

At this time, no one has long paid attention to Quiro, looking at these crazy Chinese, Queiro slowly sat in a corner, this fanatical land, is simply a paradise for warmongers, personally experiencing the fanatical worship of the people of the East to their monarch, has to make people feel shocked, if the emperor of the East, intends to conquer the world, it will be an unprecedented disaster for this world.

……

The Frenchman Queiro was detained for 48 hours for beating a retired royal soldier on the subway, casting a shadow over the French fleet's visit to Edo, which outside analysts believe was a warning from China to the French.

Not long after, Imperial Vice Minister Li Hongzhang gave an exclusive interview to the Beijing Broadcasting Company on the situation in East Asia, and the interview spread throughout Yanjing City at 7 p.m. through a cable broadcasting system consisting of 10 million telephone lines.

This interview was the first of many in the history of the Empire, the first recorded interview with a cable radio station, the first interview with a high-ranking politician, the first time that the voice of a minister entered a household, the first time that a speech was given to ordinary citizens, and the first time that citizens were informed about the Empire's foreign policy.

In this interview, which was also the first time that the empire expounded its Asian policy, Li Hongzhang unmistakably said that the Yanjing political axe opposes the interference of European countries in the political situation in Asia, especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and that Asia is the Asia of the Orientals, and that any European country that tries to impose its national will on the Asian people will bring about extremely dangerous results.

Although this interview was made by Li Hongzhang, the deputy minister of the empire, Western politicians and media generally believe that this is the will of the emperor of the East, and unlike the Solomonic doctrine of the United States and the glorious isolation policy of Britain, the special surname of the Chinese regime will make its policy coherent and will not suddenly change the direction of the wind.

The Chinese have finally unequivocally declared to the world their interests in Asia and the forbidden zone for Europeans, and the Chinese's declaration of policy toward East Asia and Southeast Asia has been called "Ye's Doctrine" or "Pan-China Sea Doctrine" in the West.

Soon after Li Hongzhang's interview was released, the Chinese delegation visiting Europe signed a series of cooperation agreements with Germany in Berlin, including further cooperation in the field of materials engineering and the Chinese aid to build the Berlin Electric Railway, as well as in-depth exchanges between the optical laboratories of the two sides.

The agreement was signed jointly by Shen Bingying, chief minister of the Chinese delegation and vice minister of the Reich Council, and Bismarck, chancellor of the German Empire, and Shen Bingying is said to have established a good personal relationship with Bismarck.

Generally speaking, outside commentators believe that before the publication of China's policy on Asian affairs, the Germans understood it, and the consequences of the Anglo-French proximity caused deep unease among the Germans, after all, the French suffered huge losses in the Franco-Prussian War, and even ceded the most important industrial areas, which also made the relationship between the two countries like water and fire, and the French wanted to retaliate to restore their former glory, and because the interests of the French were too much, the Germans were most afraid that the French would recover and restart the war to regain the heavy industrial areas ceded after their defeat.

However, the Germans did not explicitly support China's claims in Asia in the treaties signed by the two sides, and the Western media usually believed that China's support for Germany was limited after all, and the Germans did not want to be hostile to some European countries because of China.

Shen Bingying delivered an enthusiastic speech in the hall of the Parliament in Rome and in Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, affirming China's sincere desire to make efforts for trade between the East and the West and to engage in friendly and equal exchanges with European countries.

In her speech, Shen Bingying also sent a rather tough signal, hoping that European countries would abandon their prejudices, that the East today is no longer the East of half a century ago, and that as long as Europe's far-sighted politicians abandon their Eurocentric arrogance and seriously engage in equal and friendly exchanges with China, the civilized world will have a better tomorrow.

While Shen Bingying's European delegation was signing a series of agreements in Europe, Zhang Youcun, the imperial foreign minister who led the industry and trade delegation to the Philadelphia World Expo, signed an agreement with the Americans in Washington to ban whaling in parts of the Pacific, a move that was enthusiastically responded to by the fledgling animal protection groups.

In fact, Zhang Youzhi was somewhat coldly received by the United States, perhaps because Zhang Youzhi's stay in Honolulu on the way to the United States once again reaffirmed China's recognition of the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hawaii, declaring that any annexation of the Kingdom of Hawaii would be regarded as hostile to China.

At the same time, Zhang Youcun forwarded a letter from the Emperor to King Kalakaua I of Hawaii inviting King Kalakaua to visit Yenching, and King Kalakaua accepted the invitation and immediately confirmed the date of his visit to China this autumn.

In fact, Ye Zhao has little interest in building a military base in Honolulu or relying on this base to contain the United States in the future. That would not be as good as developing trade relations with the countries of the Americas today and infiltrating influence, and it would be more likely to influence the United States in the future. However, since he has taken the lead in contacting the Hawaiian Kingdom, this will naturally be a bargaining chip, and it may be used in the future, and there is nothing wrong with maintaining the relationship.

……

Phan Thiet Port in Vietnam was originally just a small fishing village, rich in fish sauce, but because of the garrison of the suzerainty and as a bridgehead for Chinese merchants to trade south, it has developed rapidly in recent years and has become a new prosperous port city in Vietnam.

For the current empire, the military position of Phan Thiet is extremely important, reaching Brunei and Kalimantan in the south, the Gulf of Thailand, Malaysia and other places in the west, and Manila in the east.

It was the Nanyang Fleet that regarded Phan Thiet as a strategic military location, with sub-fleets patrolling all year round, and the Southeast States Group stationed more than 20,000 troops here, including a Chinese infantry regiment, the Vietnamese New Army, and some Cambodian soldiers.

In the urban area of Phan Thiet, there are many shops and trading houses everywhere, and some small merchants who go to Nanyang buy goods and sell them to Nanyang, and the bulk cargo fleets from Guangzhou, Shanghai and other ports also stop here.

Most of the Vietnamese on the street are influenced by the new culture rising in China, and there are not a few Vietnamese female surnames who dress fashionably and wear colorful surnames and split cheongsam, and even nightclubs learn from Chinese, mostly using the names of well-known clubs in big Chinese cities, such as "Big World", "Dream Night City", "Qingyin Xiaozhu" and so on, can be found here.

The use of Chinese characters in the shops is a continuation of the old system, and the Vietnamese who make a living in Phan Thiet know more or less a few simple Chinese words, and even those who do not understand Vietnamese will feel at home.

Wan Dequan is the first time to come to Fan Cheet, as a eunuch assigned to Prince Zheng's Mansion forty years ago, he almost grew up with Ye Zhao, all along, Wan Dequan has been loyal to the old prince and the little brother, he is in his early forties this year to witness the thrilling rise of the Ye dynasty, but also witnessed the demise of the eunuch system.

As one of the few eunuchs in Prince Zheng's mansion, and having served Ye Zhao since he was a child, Wan Dequan is also one of the most trustworthy people in Ye Zhao's eyes.

Yi Guifei Niangniang's illness has not yet recovered, the emperor knows that she often goes to the South Seas, and likes to eat the fish sauce of Fan Che the most, so he personally sent Wan Dequan to Fan Che to buy fish sauce and fish sauce, and then buy some small items to make Yi Guifei Niangniang happy.

Wan Dequan knew that the emperor didn't like eunuchs, and a long time ago he vaguely heard the young emperor say when he first entered Prince Zheng's mansion, "Eunuchs have many dark psychological diseases, and they are not enough to be favored." ”

Although Wan Dequan shouted grievances in his heart, he knew that what the master said may not be to the point, and the master's treatment and trust in him made Wan Dequan conscientious and conscientious, and explained everything that the master did, and could not live up to the holy grace of Gao Haihou on this day.

Although he is now trusted by the emperor, and some people even take the initiative to mention the media, Wan Dequan does not dare to make mistakes, perhaps because he was castrated at a very young age, and he is really not interested in women.

Let's just say that these Vietnamese women who accompany the drinking in the bright lights are all graceful, although the skin is darker, but they are delicate and beautiful, and there is another touching, but Wande can't smell the smell of fat powder, but sitting in the flowers is like sitting on pins and needles.

Wan Dequan was accompanied by a wealthy Vietnamese man named Li Delong, who met him through a relationship with a manager of the Phan Thiet branch of the Thai Bank and asked him to come forward to buy the finest fish sauce. Although Wande has a lot of money, he has excellent accounts and knows how to do good things with less money.

If it is said that the emperor issued an edict, the Vietnamese national fish sauce tribute has been continuously transported to the capital, but this does not show the emperor's pity for the mother, not to mention some small objects, but also can not be asked for in a grand manner.

In this Fan Thiet, Wande will get that the Chinese have a very high status, and they are the dancers of this nightclub, and their smiles are a little sweeter when they see Chinese. This Vietnamese businessman Li Delong, who is said to be a relative of the Nguyen family, Mo said that in Phan Thiet, that is, in the capital of Vietnam, he is the master of walking sideways, but he is doubly polite and stammering to him, an unknown Chinese businessman, of course, perhaps because of the relationship between Wonder Quantai and the bank, it is naturally different.

Just now, a French businessman was kicked out by the Vietnamese guards of the nightclub because of a few words between the dancing girl and a Chinese businessman, and the strength of the Chinese in the local area can be seen.
