"Your Majesty, the British Minister Bao Ling, and the French Empire Minister Bourblon are here to see you."

Li Yunzhong waved his hand to Zhao Liwen and Lin Daji, signaled them to go back, and then said, "Xuan! ”

"The foreign envoys have seen His Majesty the Emperor."

"Excuse me!"

Bao Ling took two steps forward and asked, "His Majesty the Emperor asked the two of us to come over, why did you come over?" ”

Li Yunzhong looked at Bao Ling coldly, until the tip of Bao Ling's nose was cold sweat and his eyes were dodging, and then he asked, "Don't you know that Crimea is still fighting?" ”

Bao Ling said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor said that you are laughing, there is no war there, what is the fight?" Of course hit! It was also very lively, with tens of thousands of casualties in each battle. ”

"Is there really a war? Fart! Li Yunzhong was completely angry, this is clearly a pit!

Bao Ling reacted in a blink of an eye, and secretly scolded thousands of calculations, but he didn't expect Li Yunzhong to get the news in advance, this must be news from Europe, thinking of this, Bao Ling looked at Bourblon coldly, is it a conspiracy, a conspiracy of the French?

Bourblon also looked at Bao Ling with the same gaze, and shook his head together, both countries are grasshoppers on a rope, and if they discuss sending troops together, betraying each other is tantamount to betraying themselves.

Li Yunzhong was even more affirmative, his eyes loomed with murderous intent looming, and he asked coldly: "I'm afraid that the soldiers of your country are already at sea, how long will it take to reach Dahan?" ”

Bao Ling was dizzy for a while, how did he know such confidential information? No way! This is all top-secret news in Europe, how can anyone in Asia, thousands of miles away, know about it?

Burbulon was a bachelor, and replied stubbornly: "Since His Majesty the Emperor has already known the Dao, I will no longer hide it." Two months ago, our allies made peace with Russia. The Crimean War is officially over, and the news will inform you in a few days. ”

"In a few days?" Li Yunzhong was noncommittal. He continued to ask: "I'm afraid it's more than that, as far as I know, Britain, France, and Russia have secretly reached an agreement to be unfavorable to the Han Dynasty, and your clever words will be truthfully recruited, so as not to go to God for no reason, and it is useless for you to conceal it." ”

Bao Ling swallowed his spit, anyone who betrayed the British Empire could not let go!

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, where did you get the news? We don't know the way, how do you know the way, it can be seen that the person who told you the news also has a bad heart, sowing discord, and wants our two countries to go to war, and his heart can be punished! ”

"Shout, I can still use idioms, I have already sent an army to Nanyang. Your wishful thinking is gone! ”

Bao Ling was taken aback and asked, "You don't have the right to do this!" The South Seas are within the reach of the Europeans, and you have no right to send troops. ”

As soon as Bourblon wanted to agree, he swallowed his words back in a heartbeat. Britain has always controlled the Nanyang transportation arteries, blocking France's colonial power in Vietnam, Burma, and India, and now it is still openly and secretly encroaching on France's power. Let the Han army teach the British a lesson about the colonial power of the British in the South Seas, which will be beneficial and harmless to France.

Li Yunzhong raised his head and pondered for a while. The tone was calm: "When the two countries officially exchange troops, my country will send troops to take back Hong Kong." confiscate the property of all British and French owners and restrict their freedom until the end of the war between the two countries. ”

Bao Ling was very angry, in his subconscious, the Han was still like the Qing Kingdom, when he received the news of the British Empire's troops, he should kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, begging the British Empire to withdraw its troops, how could he threaten, and dare to insult him, listening to his meaning, it seems that he still has the intention of fighting with the British Empire.

"Your Majesty, Nanyang is a powder keg, the British Empire, the French Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Dutch Republic all have power, and our British Empire does not dare to act rashly, if you send troops, I am afraid that it will cause chaos and become the target of public criticism, at least it will cause war, and at worst it will become the target of hatred of the four countries, please think twice, never fight the idea of Nanyang."

Li Yunzhong sneered: "You dare to scare me, the Spanish royal family is rich, but the battle has been absent for a long time, the swords and guns are put into storage, the horses are put in Nanshan, and the warships are all old things, not to mention the Netherlands, the country is in chaos, and in the South Seas, it only relies on the East India Company's fox and tiger power, and can only bully the defenseless Chinese, and I am fighting the Dutch East India Company!" ”

Bourblon understands a lot, the reason why France agreed to send troops to the Han is because His Majesty the Emperor heard that the Far East is ignorant and backward, and there is British demagogy, so he decided to send troops, but France's interests in China are not as many as Britain's, and now the Han has already prepared, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses must have returned to help, and it is difficult to decide whether the victory or defeat will be met.

Bao Ling looked at Bourblon, and seeing that he was unmoved, he retracted his gaze in embarrassment, looked at Li Yunzhong, and said tentatively: "The Russian Empire has decided to send troops, Your Majesty can think carefully about whether it can resist the three European powers at the same time." ”

Li Yunzhong said that Britain just had no intention of withdrawing its troops, and gradually became impatient, and in the final analysis, he did not want to start a war with Britain, which would only cheapen other countries, and Little Japan was one of them!

"You're looking for death! Since I want to fight me, I'll fight with you! Come on, send them off, no, put them in prison! ”

"You don't have the right to do that!"

"I have something to say!"

Seeing Li Yunzhong's gaze, Bourblon immediately repeated it: "I have something to say!" ”

Bao Ling still shouted: "You have no right to do this!" ”

Li Yunzhong instructed the guards: "Escort the package out of Lu." ”

"Yes!"

Bao Ling struggled hard, and shouted loudly: "You have no right to do this!" I'm a minister! You don't have the right to do that! ”

Li Yunzhong asked Burbulon, "What do you have to say!" ”

Bourblon smiled, "I think His Majesty the Emperor is right. ”

"How reasonable?"

Burbulon flattered: "The national strength of the Han Dynasty is not what it used to be, the army is strong, and even Russia is not in the eyes, a million army!" The British Empire despises the Han Dynasty and is absolutely asking for its own hardships, and our French Empire will never want to wade into this troubled water. ”

Li Yunzhong became interested and continued to ask, "Then what do you mean?" Planning to withdraw troops? ”

Burbulon said: "His Majesty the Emperor forgives the sin, our emperor avoids the same king of the same country, and the orders issued will not be changed at will, since the army has set off, there is no way." ”

"Humph!" Li Yunzhong squinted at Burbulon and said coldly, "Do you want to die!" Dare to play tricks on me! ”

Bourblon hurriedly said: "There can be a way to have the best of both worlds, although our country sends troops, it does not have to go to war with your country, our soldiers will never set foot in the land of the Han Dynasty, nor will they go to war with your country, what do you think?" ”

Li Yunzhong still took into account the thoughts of the Kingdom of Prussia, and laughed loudly: "This is the best, our army has attacked Nanyang, you are stationed in Nanyang, if our army is engaged in the British army, then you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, do not interfere in the battlefield, if our army is not at war with the British army, then it is just right, let's deal with the Netherlands together, and after we succeed, the territory will be divided equally between our two countries." ”

Bourblon clapped his hands and danced with his hands, he felt that this method was better and more in line with the interests of the French Empire, and after the matter was completed, His Majesty Napoleon would definitely reward him, and it was not impossible to give him a noble title.

"Thank you for your enlightenment, this is a good way, His Majesty Napoleon does not want to send troops at all, this is bewitched by the British, you can rest assured, I will find a way to contact the country when I go back next, and I will reply to you as soon as possible."

Bourblon said what he had long wanted to fight.

"Your Majesty, since our country has a good relationship with your country, can we cooperate with Your Majesty?"

"Cooperate with what?"

"At that time, military cooperation, my country was willing to work with His Majesty to jointly study military equipment, muskets, artillery, warships, etc., what did Your Majesty think?"

It turned out to be this idea, since the beginning of the Crimean War, all countries, including the Han Dynasty, have been paying attention to the battlefield situation, summing up experience, and all countries have come to the same conclusion: muskets are to be improved, the bead gun has become the main force on the battlefield, and artillery is also a factor that determines the outcome of the war.

Li Yunzhong decided to be perfunctory, "Wait until the war is over, and then discuss these things, you go down first." ”

Burbul Bulon said happily: "Your Majesty has agreed!" Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor, our country has developed an ironclad ship and is willing to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor. (To be continued......)
