Guanyin Mountain Yangxin Hall East Warm Pavilion, yellow and clear, even the octagonal palace lamp is hanging with a yellow curtain.

On the bright yellow throne that always gives people a sense of unlimited power, Lan Guiren sat lightly, and the crested spikes of flowers were exquisitely and gorgeously padded pink flag shoes on the wooden couch, bright and dignified.

Ye Zhao sat on the soft pier and was talking to her about the upcoming battle of Nanchang.

The Harwich Department has entered Jiangxi, and it will be possible to go to Nanchang City in three or two, and the time for the campaign to be launched is set at the end of this month, and Nanchang, an important town that the Taiping Army has operated for many years, will inevitably become the most difficult bone to gnaw after the Pingyuan Army becomes an army.

The Northern Expeditionary Army of later generations swept across the two lakes, but fought Nanchang four times before and after, and was repeatedly defeated under the city of Nanchang, especially in the third battle, if it were not for Xiao Zhuge Bai Chongxi who left the back road early to set up a pontoon bridge, the entire right-wing corps of the Northern Expeditionary Army led by the principal himself was afraid that it would be completely annihilated by Sun Chuanfang.

The current situation is different from the Nanchang Campaign of the Northern Expeditionary Army in history, because in fact, the heavy armament of the artillery of the Pingyuan Army is still neater than that of the Northern Expeditionary Army in Nanchang at that time, which cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.

But in the same way, the Taiping Army is not Sun Chuanfang, it has been operating in Nanchang for many years, and the whole bullet is to guard against the Pingyuan Army, its troops are fortified layer by layer, Huimin, Guangrun, Zhangjiang, Desheng four gates, there are countless trench fortifications, it is very indestructible modern fortifications, and even artillery positions, although there are not many artillery, but if you do not take precautions, under the strong attack, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties to the Pingyuan Army.

Ye Zhao is also pondering, the tactical thinking of various Chinese armies is really changing dramatically, and his own stone has been thrown, causing countless waves.

In order to resist the Northern Expeditionary Army, Sun Chuanfang burned all the houses outside the four cities, so that the siege troops lost their barriers and support, and the Tengwang Pavilion was destroyed in this fire. The Taiping Army's strategy is different, but it is actually more clever than Sun Chuanfang's tactical thinking, but under the fierce fighting between the two sides, I am afraid that this famous building in the world will not escape the doom.

Speaking of the Nanchang Campaign, Ye Zhao's mood was a little heavy, and he felt that the preparations were not sufficient, but launching the Nanchang Campaign with lightning momentum could give the Taiping Southern Expeditionary Army in Zhejiang a psychological blow of destruction, and it could also bring huge pressure to the Northern Dynasties who negotiated peace in Shanghai.

Therefore, even if the preparation is a little hasty, the battle of Nanchang is imperative.

"Do you know about Zhao Jinyi?" Lan Guiren's little hand filled with the beauty of power and enchantment, and the colorful gilt blooming jade fat held the teacup.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "I know, little commoner, the imperial sister-in-law can still remember his name, and it is also his creation." ”

Lan Guiren snorted lightly: "I don't know how to advance or retreat, Jingxiang, don't go back to protect him." ”

Ye Zhao blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "The imperial sister-in-law can say whatever she wants, and the ministers and brothers all listen to the imperial sister-in-law." "It's a bit of a girl's taste.

Lan Guiren was stunned for a moment and said, "Your words are sincere." ”

Ye Zhao said: "Heartfelt can't be more sincere. ”

Lan Guiren was helpless, picked up the teacup and sipped tea.

Ye Zhao smiled again: "Sister-in-law, I heard Rong'er say, do you want her to teach you to dance?" ”

Lan Guiren's delicate face was slightly embarrassed, and he snorted.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Actually, that's because Rong'er is too small and her strength is too small to take you with her, it's not that the imperial sister-in-law is stiff." When Rong'er taught Lan Guiren to dance, she only felt that her sister was stupid, so she couldn't help muttering a few childlike words about her sister's waist being too hard, and she was reprimanded by her sister for a few words, and when she went home, she told her husband about her grievances, which made Ye Zhao laugh.

How did the noble people of Kelan know that Rong'er and Xianggong were so intimate, and they could say anything, listening to Ye Zhao's words, their faces immediately flushed, ashamed and angry, and even more annoyed, angry with Rong'er, and the little Buddha was charming.

Ye Zhao waved his hand to Xiao Anzi at this time and said, "Don't wait, you guys go down." ”

Xiao Anzi glanced at the little Buddha, and then made a loud "chirp", gestured to the palace maids and eunuchs on the left and right, and led them out.

Ye Zhao got up with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, come, I'll teach you, you will know how easy it is to dance." ”

Lan Guiren was stunned for a moment, but saw that Ye Zhao had already come over and stretched out his hand.

Looking at Ye Zhao's handsome face, Lan Guiren handed over the demonic little hand, and then Ye Zhao snorted, but it was the sharp fingers that pierced his hand.

"Are you alright?" Lan Guiren's face couldn't help but be concerned.

Ye Zhao shook his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

Lan Guiren came back to his senses slightly, and then he felt that something was wrong, and said, "Forget it." But Ye Zhao had already grabbed her pink little hand, and Lan Guiren's delicate body was immediately shocked, and the first time she came into contact with the skin of a young man outside Xianfeng, it suddenly made her feel like she had been struck by lightning, and her brain was a little chaotic.

"Imperial sister-in-law, please get up." Ye Zhao had a smile on his face, but in fact, he was holding the delicate and smooth little hand like fat and jade, touching the cold metal finger cover, and then thinking of the owner of this delicate little hand, the weight it represented, the infamy of later generations, and the majesty and mystery that had ruled China for decades, Ye Zhao had mixed feelings in his heart, and he really didn't know what it tasted like.

Treat her as a relative? How can it be so easy?

Lan Guiren got up ignorantly, got off the throne, came back to his senses slightly, and was about to speak, but heard Ye Zhao Zhengrong say: "Imperial sister-in-law, you put your left hand on my shoulder, you have seen it at the ball, right?" ”

has reached such a situation, and it is inevitable to push Ye Zhao away again, Lan Guiren had no choice but to gently rest his left hand on Ye Zhao's shoulder, and then he felt that his waist moved, and his small waist was already gently held by Ye Zhao.

Lan Guiren looked at Ye Zhao in surprise, speechless for a while, this Jingxiang, so bold, can you really treat me as the queen mother and the imperial sister-in-law? I thought that if he made a show, it would be a false support.

Lan Guiren's beautiful eyes were sparkling, and he felt full of majesty when he was far away, but when he looked closely, he felt that he was watery and naturally charming, as if he could speak, his long black eyelashes were exquisite, and he scratched people's hearts with a wink, pink face and red lips, and there was a little bit of indescribable charm in the beauty and dignity, perhaps the more noble and mysterious the woman, the more men wanted to conquer, the more they wanted her to be tactful under themselves.

Holding this enchanting little Buddha and smelling the dark fragrance on her body, Ye Zhao was also a little dry, and he didn't know why his blood was surging.

Originally, dancing with Lan Guiren was to break through her psychological defense, from a psychological point of view, the relationship within a few centimeters would become intimate unconsciously, and the embarrassment with Lan Guiren to annihilate and usurp this Qing Dynasty would get twice the result with half the effort, and above the court, it would be easy for those dissidents to be knocked down one by one.

Ye Zhao never thought that he would be unmoved by the thousands of flowers refined by the wives and concubines of several different wives and concubines in different countries, but this glamorous Lan nobleman, noble and dignified, is extremely charming in his bones, there is really a strange and sultry feeling, think about her charming state after her majesty is gone, it is really bloody, maybe there is also the man's inferior surname hidden in his heart, and there is a kind of revenge against the glamorous and beautiful people who are infamous in later generations**, the man's inferior beast surname, Ye Zhao is not exempt from vulgarity.

Dizzy, Ye Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, this is a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Gathering his mind, Ye Zhao began to dance with Lan Guiren, Ye Zhao's dancing steps are so skillful, Lan Guiren's fragrant body is light and soft, and it is effortless to bring it up.

"These shoes are a bit tall and inconvenient." Lan Guiren kept looking at his feet with a pink face, maybe he didn't want to look at Ye Zhao, so as not to be embarrassed.

"Yes, I'll buy you a pair of high heels next time you dance, the thin heels are the best for dancing." Ye Zhao scratched his head a little after speaking, why did the more he talked, the more he seemed to be talking to his girlfriend?

Lan Guiren stopped squeaking.

The Dongnuan Pavilion was silent, only the sound of gentle footsteps, "Ah", Lan Guiren suddenly snorted softly, but it was the flag shoes that were bulky, and the footsteps were chaotic, and they hit Ye Zhao's body, and the plump and crisp breasts were separated from Ye Zhao's body, and two red clouds had already flown up on Lan Guiren's pink face.

Ye Zhao's body was slightly numb, but it was: "One, two, three; two, two, three......" commanded up...... By the time Lan Guiren proposed to rest, she had already sweated, sat back on the throne, and clapped her hands and ordered Xiao Anzi to send two bowls of sour plum soup.

And Xiao Anzi then retreated, he didn't dare to think about it, but if it was said that the thoughts that might arise when dreaming, if the master and the regent reconciled, it would be really good, for the regent, he was very afraid, he was afraid that the master would be against the prince, and when the time came, he would suffer as a slave, and after the relationship between the master and the regent deteriorated, he naturally had to run errands to send a secret letter or something, and he was cut off by the regent Liwei for fear that he could not escape the bad luck.

The closer the master and the prince, the happier he is, but this thought is just a flash, he knows that his life is a few pounds and a few taels, and this idea is best not to think about it.

"Thanks to your idea, the spring Jie'er soup is also chilled, and it is delicious, do you like to drink it?" Lan Guiren wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and asked, obviously after a dance, this relationship is really different.

Ye Zhao held the small bowl of jasper and said with a smile: "It's good, it's just that there are some ice hands, in my house, you don't need me to hold it." He sat on a soft pier and had no table next to him.

Lan Guiren was stunned for a moment and said, "Then you can put it down." ”

Ye Zhao immediately got up, took two steps, put the soup bowl on the table next to the throne, and pushed aside the rosewood inlaid jade Ruyi, which symbolized the majesty of the emperor's authority, so that he could put down the soup bowl.

He smiled again: "Leave it for a while, I'll drink it again when it's not cold." After pacing two steps, he looked at the Dongnuan Pavilion, the first time he was so presumptuous and bold.

Lan Guiren looked at him helplessly and said, "Sometimes I really doubt that you are Duanhua's own son, and you have never known what the rules are. ”

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, in fact, I think you should be relaxed, go out for a walk more, and enjoy the honor, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Lan Guiren didn't answer, and asked, "Ming said that you are going to Fuzhou?" ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Ji'an has already opened the train, it is very fast, from Guangzhou to Fuzhou, it is only two days away." ”

Lan Guidao: "The patrol and militia who rushed from Guangdong to help Zhejiang can also go to the battlefield in three or four days?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Yes, it is estimated that there will be a big question mark on Qin Yuegang's brain, why are there more and more Qing demons?" ”

Lan Guiren listened to Ye Zhao say what "Qing Demon", that is, helpless and funny, but fortunately, this is the highly meritorious King Su, the first person in Manchuria who is powerful in the world, and the second person can still keep this official position? But chatting with this brother-in-law, it's really interesting, there's a big question mark on the brain, it's really funny, but it's vivid, just like that, it's a description of the embarrassment.

Punctuation has already been introduced in the southern country, and the Lan nobles know the meaning of the question mark.

"When you go to Jiangxi, you have to be careful." Lan Guiren said lightly.

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded, paced to the throne, picked up the soup bowl, and said, "Don't ice your hands, it's just right." He put the wishful thinking aside.

Lan Guiren looked at him with a smile, only to feel that his heart had never felt more relaxed than before.

…… The next day, Ye Zhao failed to go to Jiangxi as he wished, but stayed in Guangzhou to receive a guest from the West.

Ye Zhao never expected that he would be able to meet Bismarck, the famous iron-blooded prime minister in German history, in Guangzhou.

Bismarck came to Guangzhou as Prussian minister to China, and he was originally a representative of the Prussian Kingdom to the German Confederation, but he left office at the end of last year.

In the eyes of the future, Germany in the traditional sense has not yet been formed, but is a loose federation in the form of the German Confederation, and the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire have been vying for dominance of the German Confederation.

Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister, opened the prelude to Prussia and even Germany's struggle for hegemony on the European continent, he came to power as prime minister more than two years later, and within ten years, Prussia became one of the most powerful countries on the European continent, and the first step on the road to hegemony in ten years was to unite Austria to launch a war against Denmark, forcing Denmark to give up its interests in the German Confederation; The second step was to challenge Austria, defeating Austria and forcing it to withdraw from the German Confederation; The third step was to launch a war against France, and the Kingdom of Prussia completely defeated France in the Franco-Prussian War, ending France's hegemony on the European continent, and the German Empire was born.

Although the chancellor did not end well, and was ordered to resign by the German Emperor Wilhelm II in 1890 decades later, it can be said that without Bismarck, there would be no birth of the German Empire, and its influence could have lasted until the Second World War.

Bismarck, what a cow this cattle man is, Ye Zhao naturally knows that this old gentleman came to Guangzhou, how could Ye Zhao not meet him in person?

And Ye Zhao for the reception of Bismarck's specifications is also unprecedented, personally accompanied Bismarck to review the Yulin Army honor guard, took the same carriage to the Guangzhou Hotel, set up a banquet, many high-ranking officials in Guangzhou attended the banquet, Ye Zhao more enthusiastic called Bismarck his closest friend.

Bismarck was in his forties, with a stern face peculiar to the Germans, he was aggressive as a teenager, and he dueled many times when he was a student, and he had a deep scar on his face, which was the mark left by the duel with others.

There is no doubt that Bismarck never expected that the Chinese regent would be so enthusiastic about him, some confused, some puzzled, after the banquet in the splendid lounge of the Guangzhou Hotel, Bismarck sipped Chinese sobering tea, and raised his own questions: "Your Excellency, thank you for your hospitality, I have just come to China, but I have seen many deeds of His Excellency the Prince in the newspapers, I have deep admiration for you, but I have heard that this is the first time that you have accompanied a foreign envoy to inspect the guard of honor, I am very honored, thank you for your great love." ”

The lounge next to the Grand Ballroom is magnificent, with bright lights, and the majestic momentum of the huge ink-splashed landscape painting is blowing in the face.

Ye Zhao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Bismarck is committed to the reunification of Germany, and he is contemptible. ”

Bismarck is now one of the most powerful figures in Prussian politics, and his tough style is well known, but he has not been able to stand on the highest political stage to show his ambitions, listening to Ye Zhao's words, Bismarck said with a smile: "It is a matter of time before His Excellency's army unifies the entire Far Eastern continent, and I don't think anyone in the Far East can stop His Excellency's road to unification, and I still have a long way to go." "He was rough and straightforward.

The Pingyuan Army Yulin Honor Guard left a deep impression on it, the white and blue striped military uniforms represent the bayonet phalanx of the navy, the army phalanx of dark green military uniforms, and the heroic female soldier phalanx, although it is only an honor guard, but it more or less reflects the spiritual outlook of a [***] team.

Bismarck was shocked by the fierceness of the various phalanxes and the coldness of his eyes, and he heard that the oriental people were gentle, but it was obvious that the Chinese army was very aggressive and aggressive, but it made him feel very cordial.

Bismarck came to China somewhat to avoid trouble, served as the Prussian ambassador to the Frankfurt Confederation Conference for eight years, two years ago, Prussian King Wilhelm IV went insane, Bismarck supported his younger brother Prince Wilhelm regent, which triggered a series of palace struggles, last year Prince Wilhelm's regency was imminent, Bismarck in order to alleviate its resistance, took the initiative to retreat, was ready to go to Russia as a minister, but knew that this may be his last trip around the world, is to step on the steamer to China.

Ten years ago, on the European continent, the country was often ridiculed as a barbaric and weak Oriental, but in recent years, the wind has gradually changed, not only economic newspapers often appear Far East investment guides or advertisements for selling bonds, and even some newspapers with political surnames read by the aristocracy have also appeared articles commenting on the industrial and commercial political system of the Chinese.

For Bismarck, who was always thinking about the road of change in Prussia, China, an ancient and nascent country, undoubtedly had a special attraction.

What I didn't expect was that as soon as I set foot in Chinese mainland, I was ceremoniously received by the Chinese regent.

Ye Zhao smiled at this time and said, "I don't know if Mr. Bismarck knows about the Krupp Company in your country to learn technology?" "They were sent out at the beginning of last year, and now they're on the right track.

Bismarck nodded, of course he knew this, Chinese, groups of international students, skilled teams went to Europe, and some international students were diligent and studious also left a deep impression on Europeans.

Bismarck was puzzled and said: "Your Excellency, what I don't understand is that your country's Guangzhou Royal University is already a world-renowned first-class university, why do you want to go far and send a large number of international students every year?" ”

As a matter of fact, the news of the newly established Guangzhou Royal University was read in the newspapers by Bismarck when he was in Xinjiapo, and in a few months, it was expected that it would spread to Europe, and it would inevitably become the world's top university.

The professors and academicians listed in the newsprint, even if Bismarck was not very familiar with the scientific community, were surprised, and there were a few well-known scientists in Europe who even peddlers and pawns knew.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "How to say it, it can be regarded as a kind of travel and insight, domestic study is good for domestic study, and it is good to go out for a walk and have a look, not to mention that the systematization of various disciplines in China has just started, how can only one Guangzhou University cover all disciplines and all walks of life?" ”

In fact, at Guangzhou University, Ye Zhao is also one of the visiting professors, teaching chemistry, of course, almost the entire university except for the top will not know that this teacher Ye is the regent.

There is no way, there are not enough talents, so I can only throw my arms on my own, and take half a day a week to go to class, not to mention that in the world of chemistry, Ye Zhao is naturally a Beidou-level figure in Mount Tai now, and it seems a bit of a waste not to use himself.

However, now Ye Zhao is far from using real kung fu, and the first batch of students at Guangzhou University are mainly Chinese assistants who participate in various projects of the Xiguan Inventors Club, giving them a chance to learn systematically.

Of course, there is no female student at Guangzhou University today.

Bismarck nodded understandingly, and asked with a little curiosity: "I heard that many Western professors at Guangzhou University have joined your nationality?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled slightly: "Yes, I welcome people from the East and West to come to China to pursue their dreams." ”

When dealing with high-tech talents, it is natural to learn from the United States, and Bismarck obviously did not understand this very well, and he still paid more attention to the purity of national blood, but he did not say anything.

Today's China's political and economic system is naturally far less attractive than the United States in later generations, and these scholars who have joined Chinese nationality have their own reasons, most of which are naturally because of Ye Zhao's demonic knowledge, coupled with incomparable affinity, and the identity of the regent of China, several of them were invited by Ye Zhao, but since they have begun, there is an endless stream of people who take the initiative to ask for Chinese nationality.

Of course, there are other reasons, such as a white-bearded physicist, joined the Chinese nationality because he fell in love with a Chinese woman, and because China can marry several wives, he applied for it, this matter is very uproarious, and his original partner almost pulled the old man's beard off, to say that the original wife does not mind that the old man has a lover, but can marry and be a wife to hug left and right, where can she accept it?

In the end, Ye Zhao came forward to settle the matter for the old scholar, and comforted the original lady very much, and even danced with the lady by name in several balls, which made Mrs. Western feel that she had a lot of face, and she had to give the regent this face.

And the most troublesome thing for Ye Zhao is the old man's Chinese lover, who is actually the maid of the old man's family, a widow, and average-looking, but the old man's statement is like gentle water, and the virtuous makes people want to sacrifice everything for her. But this woman said that she didn't want to marry a foreign devil, and the old man liked to die and live, but it was a falling flower and a ruthless intention.

Ye Zhao had no choice but to come forward to persuade him, saying that since the old gentleman had joined the Chinese nationality, he was not a foreign devil, he was all a citizen under my Jingxiang, and he could not discriminate against others.

It took a lot of talk, how authoritative the regent was, the woman had no choice but to agree, and I heard that she cried a lot, of course, Ye Zhao could also see that in fact, under the old man's enthusiastic offensive, this woman was not really unmoved, but she just felt that she couldn't raise her head if she married a foreign devil, and her relatives and friends would even point and poke her backbone.

If this woman is really reluctant, even if something happens to the widow, Ye Zhaozi will not force her to sacrifice her will to make peace, this is a matter of principle, and you must not only focus on interests.

But sometimes I think about it, the world-renowned scientists, in later generations, those so-called celebrity women are fighting for it, but now they are "discriminated against", which really makes people feel vicissitudes.

Having said that, from a man's point of view, how can the Chinese women of later generations have the unique charm of today's women who are gentle like water?

Tasting the tea, Ye Zhao was in a trance, Bismarck didn't hear a few words, and then came back to his senses, smiled and talked to Bismarck.

(To be continued)
