Wang Feng looked at Hong Xuanjiao incomprehensibly, Hong Xuanjiao muttered: "The treasury is not all in the Heavenly King Palace, there are a considerable number of offices distributed in the city, and due to the rush of time, maybe some of the secret vaults in the palace have not been found It is also normal, and now the more than two million taels of silver and one hundred thousand taels of gold that have been copied are already a lot, don't you be satisfied, if there is still gold and silver in Nanjing, will you grow wings and fly?" He captured Nanjing City and searched carefully, there will definitely be a harvest, okay, Shui Jiao is here, maybe he asked us to eat. ”

Wang Feng turned his head to see that Yang Shuijiao was waving his arms and running over, so he asked, "Do you want to eat together?" ”

Although Chen Alin is honest, he is not stupid, there are all women who have a relationship with Wang Feng, which one is he going to count? Immediately touched the skull, hehe smiled: "Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your kindness, my brothers and I have already set our sights on the target, look over there, next time, when we capture the women and children of Chen Village, it will not be too late for the Commander-in-Chief to celebrate everyone." ”

Wang Feng looked in the direction pointed by Chen Alin, and dozens of meters away, there were several beautiful princesses who were cooking on the fire, so he patted Chen Alin on the shoulder with understanding: "Chen Alin, you have a good eye, I am optimistic about you!" With that, he took Hong Xuanjiao and walked back.

Almost at the same moment, in the British Consulate in the concession, Bonham and Ali Guo's faces were not very good-looking.

Ali Guo took a letter and looked at it repeatedly, and it took a long time before he patted his head and shouted: "The Russian-Turkish War broke out, which one is stronger to read novels on mobile phones?" Mobile Reading Network, my God, I have to say that Wang Feng is very lucky, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has categorically rejected our request to send an expeditionary force from the mainland on the grounds of full preparation, although it authorized us to call in the garrison of the East India Company. But the East India Company had become Indianized, with a large number of Indian employees and Indian soldiers.

Oh! Oh, my God. Can those Indian soldiers go to war? Not only are they undisciplined, they are greedy for life and afraid of death. There are also strange habits, such as the Mini gun issued last year, in which the Hindu soldiers refused to use the bullets because they were coated with butter, but when we respected their habit and changed the butter to lard, the White Hats almost made trouble, and I even wondered for a while, who is the master of India? Is it the British, or the swarthy Indian king? ”

"Whew~~" spat out a smoke ring. Ali Guo said: "If we fight against the Qing court, the Indian soldiers can still be reluctantly used, because the Qing army is even inferior, but our opponent is the Democratic Alliance Army, which is an elite army, and the size of the Democratic Alliance Army has expanded, I suspect that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is changing its way to reject us, could it be that Her Majesty the Queen has given up on the Far East?" ”

Wen Xian said helplessly: "Mr. Aleeko, we should understand the embarrassment of Her Majesty the Queen. In the eyes of Her Majesty the Queen, China is just a piece of fat, biting early and biting late is just a matter of priority, and Russia's unrestricted expansion is related to the core interests of our country!

Our country has reached an agreement with France. By March at the latest, he will join forces with the Ottoman Turks in the war against Russia, which has the largest territory in the world and which is fierce and belligerent. You should know that you can't ignore the slightest. The Russians are insatiable and have a greater appetite for territory than anyone can imagine. If we are defeated, the Russians will encroach on the Ottoman Turks, control the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, sail their fleets into the Mediterranean, and seize the land along the Mediterranean coast inch by inch, even North Africa and Egypt!

For hundreds of years, the pace of Russian expansion has never stopped, and the purpose of their life is only to expand and expand, conquer and conquer, and I understand very well the decision of Her Majesty the Queen and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, although I regret this decision! ”

Ali Guo sighed: "According to this, before the Crimean War is over, it is impossible for the mainland to send troops to come, can we just watch Wang Feng grow step by step?" ”

"Of course not!" Bonham shrugged: "Since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has authorized us to use the forces of the East India Company, we should make full use of it. ”

"Mr. Bonham, I don't have any confidence in the Indian soldiers, and I think you are the same, you should know that although the death of the Indians in battle is nothing to us, the consequences of defeat are not something we can bear. ”

Wen Xian shook his head: "Mr. Ali Guo, your prejudice against the Indians is too great, the Indians are not without combat effectiveness at all, and the commanders at all levels in the army are British, of course, we can't bet all the treasure on the East India Company, we should connect with a force that can be linked!"

I heard that at the turn of spring and summer last year, Wang Feng once repelled the attack of the Qing Dynasty's Guangdong Naval Division, and the Guangdong Naval Division hired ships from Shunde Chen Village and merchants from the Thirteen Lines, which may not be a force that can be connected."

Wen Xian was thinking about how to win over the Qing court to deal with Wang Feng together, when a British soldier hurried in and saluted: "Gentlemen, Wu Jianzhang secretly asked for a meeting, and also brought a Chinese. ”

"Oh?" Wen Ham and Ah Li glanced at each other, and they both thought of a famous Chinese saying: Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, although they don't understand who Cao Cao is.

Wen Xian hurriedly said, "Please let him in!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers hurried away, and not long after, they brought in two middle-aged people, Wu Jianzhang was their old friend, but there was a black cloth on his eyes, and the other was wearing a melon-skin hat, dressed in the civilian clothes often worn by the gentry, triangular eyes, and a nose turned upside down, typical of the appearance of a Tungusic person.

Wu Jianzhang said in half-baked English: "Mr. Wen Xian, Mr. Ali Guo, let me introduce you to the two of you, this is the new governor of Jiangsu Province of the Imperial Court, Gil Hang'a. ”

With the fall of Zhenjiang and Changzhou one after another, he thought that he would be punished by the court, but unexpectedly, he was promoted to the governor of Jiangsu, which can be described as a blessing in disguise.

Gilhanga arched his hand: "This official was appointed by the emperor to come to visit the two of you. ”

Wu Jianzhang translated the past, and Wen Xian warmly signaled: "Please sit down and serve tea!" ”

The arrival of Gilhanga was obviously a surprise to Bonham, although it was already dark, he did not care, and there was no one to talk to, and Turin, located in the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula, was not yet noon.

In winter, the Mediterranean coast is affected by the westerly wind belt, which is the rainy season, although the temperature is not very low, but the gloomy weather and nearly saturated humidity bring people a cold feeling, and the mood is not smooth.

Outside Turin is a typical baroque manor house covering dozens of hectares, famous in Turin, where the family of the richest man and prime minister of the kingdom is located.

Baroque architecture uses precious materials, fine workmanship, and deliberate decoration to show the wealth and nobility of its owner, which is also in line with Cavour's identity.

Standing in the palatial hall of reliefs and stained glass, Cavour looked out at the rain fountain, smoking a cigarette and frowning.

Cavour is forty-five years old, short and fat, with a round face and round glasses, it is hard to imagine that he is the father of the thin and beautiful Angelina, on the contrary, a middle-aged man in his forties next to Cavour is more similar to Angelina's eyebrows, eyes and face, this is Cavour's cousin, Benito. Russell, from Cavour's maternal line, a French count's family, Angelina's marriage was matched by him.

Benito also looked at the fountain for a while, then turned his head and said: "Second brother, the Russian-Turkish war has broken out, and the French government has invited Sardinia to participate in the war, what do you think?" ”

Cavour just smoked a cigarette and was silent.

Benito said: "Second brother, in fact, you know very well that the Russian Emperor Nicholas I proposed to the Ottoman Sultan that all Orthodox subjects in the Ottoman territory be protected by Russia, and tried to turn the Ottomans into a Russian protectorate, and then monopolize the two Black Sea straits of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, open up the passage into the Mediterranean, and realize its expansionist ambitions. So much so that the Russian-Turkish war broke out.

By March of this year at the latest, Britain and France will declare war on Russia and send elite troops to the Crimea, while Austria and Prussia, although they will remain neutral, will force the Russian army to withdraw from the Danube Valley, and you have no need to worry about defeat, because you have ignored the determination of Britain and France to stop Russia.

I can assure you that in this war, Russia will lose, after all, Russia is a backward serf country, while Britain and France are advanced industrial countries, and the industrial countries fight against the serf countries, and there is no reason for defeat at all,"

Cavour muttered: "Sardinia is small and weak, and the top priority is to unify Italy, how can there be spare strength to fight against Russia?" ”

Benito understood that his cousin was asking for benefits, so he smiled slightly: "Our Napoleonic Emperor Xià believes that Italy has been divided for too long, and a regional power should appear on the Mediterranean coast as an ally of France, and the French government is willing to sign a secret agreement with you to support Sardinia's territorial claim to northern Austrian Italy." ”

"Good!" Cavour nodded briskly: "After Britain and France declare war on Russia, I will persuade His Majesty the King and Congress to follow France." ”

Benito smiled approvingly: "Second brother, you will become a great man of Italy, and your name will be inseparable from the cause of the unification of Italy, and I congratulate you in advance." ”

"Thank you!" Cavour looked at the rain curtain and replied lukewarmly.

"Hey~~" Benito understood Cavour's mood and sighed: "Second brother, are you missing Angelina again?" This stubborn child has not been heard from since he disappeared before his marriage the year before last.

I think she probably fled Turin, a world where a lone girl is in a very dangerous situation, and I may have been wrong to arrange a marriage for her arbitrarily, and I only hope that she will be safe and return to you as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
