Chapter 423 The soldiers are divided into two ways, Zhu Fugui's ambiguous letter
At this moment, on Darwin's chest and pocket watch was a fossilized little finger bone.
To the uninitiated, it may seem that the head of a family in Sicily is playing the game of cutting his fingers again.
But in the eyes of a professional biologist like Charles Darwin, this finger bone contains too much information and definitely does not belong to any kind of modern man known to the world.
It was in order to further explore the secrets of fossils and see more and more complete specimens that Darwin embarked on a journey to the Americas.
At this moment he put one last look at his manuscript.
It's like knowing that your girlfriend doesn't belong to you anymore, but before leaving, you have to gently arrange her hair.
With these manuscripts with him, Darwin hoped to donate them to the Ming Royal Academy for free, hoping that the Ming people would treat her well.
Although Darwin also knows more or less in his heart, his girlfriend who has worked hard for countless times in the past ten years is likely to be just a lost willow that tastes like chewing wax in the eyes of Daming.
If you don't ask Daming to take care of her, what can you do?
Self-published in England?
Forget it, that's even more humiliating.

Just as Darwin was feeling sorry for himself, the outline of the land finally appeared ahead.
The destination of this voyage, Richmond, the capital of the Confederate States of America (Southern Government), has arrived.
Before the Belfast entered port, a Confederate Navy-flagged gunboat was approached for a routine inspection.
The fact that the Confederate Navy was able to leave the port showed that the Northern government could no longer afford to blockade Richmond as the North was divided internally.
The inspection of the Confederate Navy was a formality, and the first mate of the Belfast stuffed the naval officer with a few pounds, and it was immediately unimpeded.
Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the Union Jack on the Belfast is easy to use.
If it's a cruise ship from another country, the toll is not the same price.
After entering the port, the cruise ship slowly moored, and the sailors instructed the tourists to disembark in an orderly manner.
Darwin and his servant walked down the ladder with suitcases.
Suddenly, his sharp-eyed servant pointed to the distance and said, "Look, sir! Oriental! โ
"Oh, Thomas, this should be the professional team that Ming Guo came to greet me."
Darwin rightly said.
He has this self-confidence.
He is a recipient of the Royal Medal, the Copley Medal of the Royal Society, and the Wollaston Medal of the Geological Society of London.
Although it can't be compared with Su Xunzong, it can definitely be regarded as a top celebrity with honors.
Such a celebrity is willing to deign to come to a semi-civilized country, although he is here to send his wife, but it is also a model of breaking the knots and handing them over.
It is reasonable to think that it is normal for the other party to send a team to meet you.
It's just not clear how Ming Guo knew about his itinerary?
As a reckless rich man and traveler, Darwin has always been a playful traveler.
This time, it was also in the process of studying fossils that he suddenly made up his mind to embark on a voyage to the Ming Kingdom.
Maybe it was his wife Emma who sent a telegram to Akito?
Darwin shook his head, not thinking about these inconsequential things.
He straightened his civilization hat with the handle of the civilization rod, and adjusted the expression on his face, preparing to meet with the representative of Akito with a gentlemanly expression of seven points of coldness and three points of politeness.
However......
"Please excuse me."
The Orientals ignored Darwin's stop, and waved him off.
Must have never seen my photos.
Darwin smiled slightly, feeling that these Orientals were really rough.
"Gentlemen, I wonder which gentleman and celebrity you are waiting for?"
Darwin tapped the ground with his rod of civilization, and casually took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time.
The sparkling craftsmanship of Bavarian Wilsdorf gold watches shines in the sun.
But these Orientals turned a blind eye to Darwin's watch.
They looked up at the sky and raised their wrists as well.
Hmmm-
What's going on with this dazzling light?
I saw that each of these Oriental wrists had a gold watch, which was not only elegant in shape and exquisite in workmanship, but also inlaid with various gems on the hands and watch body.
The light just now is emitted by these gems!
Darwin silently put away his pocket watch.
He felt that he was a scientist and should not do such vulgar and meaningless things......
I knew that I would have brought those medals and hung them on the outside of my clothes!
Darwin regretted something.
But it was useless to say anything, he was ready to step forward and explain his identity directly.
But at this moment, those calibration time makers moved.
They formed a human wall and walked briskly towards one place.
"Hey, gentlemen, where are you going!"
Darwin hurried to follow.
"Damn, are you still being targeted by the British? Disgusting Oxford cavity! โ
A leader-looking Oriental spoke a word in Chinese that Darwin didn't understand at all, and then made a covert gesture toward his men.
Then the Orientals split into two groups.
Most of them were still walking briskly into the distance, but the detached team suddenly stopped in front of Darwin and his servants.
On the noisy docks, no one noticed that the two Englishmen were covered in the mouth, punched twice in the stomach, and dragged into the carriage.
The remaining carriages welcomed the guests who were really waiting.
An old man with his head bowed and a misheaved face hurried into one of the carriages and quickly left.

Bismarck's visit to the Ming Dynasty is absolutely a major secret.
Fortunately, Prussia at this time and the Ming Dynasty at this time were the kind of countries that could do the best work of secrecy.
In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the British and French, Bismarck had already released rumors a week earlier that migraines needed to be taken on vacation.
And the vehicle he traveled on did not choose Prussia's own cruise ship, but unexpectedly took the Belfast of the White Star Shipping.
In fact, in Zhu Fugui's view, Bismarck was too cautious.
Because according to the information from Donald's side, the British Prime Minister on Downing Street is now addicted to the Hebrew secret medicine and can't extricate himself.
What kind of fighting power and decisiveness can the opium ghost have?
And it's not just opium ghosts.
His younger brother is not preoccupied with political affairs, but is ready to seize the power of his eldest brother, who has served for more than 20 years, and become the first Jewish-British prime minister in history.
In short, the British Empire as a whole did not pay much attention to Prussia, and they lacked an objective understanding and quantitative analysis of Prussia's existing strength.
It is precisely because they do not realize that Prussia has surpassed France in terms of the real economy, i.e., industrial and agricultural output, and in terms of military mobilization capacity, that they will be happy to see Prussia challenge France.
After defeating Tsarist Russia and reducing it to the "weakest link of imperialism", France was seen by the British as too powerful and lacking checks and balances.
France lost the previous two wars between Ming and France.
But it's not a nerve-wracking injury.
In particular, the Second French Empire collapsed, and a large republican government appeared on the other side of the English Channel, which the British did not want to see.
The monarchy is naturally wary of the republic.
The Queen of England has already told her cabinet more than once that Britain should step in to solve the problem of succession to the French throne.
Even Victoria wrote a letter to Zhu Fugui, saying that Zhu Fugui should return Mr. Napoleon to London with dignity like a civilized man.
In this regard, Zhu Fugui replied to Victoria:
"are very beautiful, full of pink and beautiful makeup.
Ququ distant mountains fly emerald color; Dancing sleeves reflect the sunset.
Pear blossoms with rain compete for beauty; Peony cage smoke and charming.
But he has to be enchanting to move and take back the king of Changle. โ
In the end, I don't know if Victoria understands it.
Even if she understands Zhu Fugui, she is not worried, most likely she just threw it into the fireplace, and then swore that she would never write a letter to the Emperor Ming again in her life.
Amin (former president of Uganda) can write a letter of courtship to Elizabeth, and I am a dignified son of heaven and emperor of Yinren, so it shouldn't be too much to write a lewd poem to Victoria, right?
And this poem also added a full 180,000 cultural values to him!
I really don't know how the system calculates.
Of course, Victoria is already in her forties, and she really promised Zhu Fugui that she would suffer a blood loss.
Zhu Fugui would rather mess with the thirty-year-old Xingzhen than dare to respond to the edge of the forty-year-old aunt.
In short, although the British Empire is now unprecedentedly powerful, and can even be said to be the peak of British national power, it has not been very bright in its operation.
In the face of the changing international situation, the UK's response has always been half a beat slow.
But Bismarck is a guy who seeks stability, and he tries not to make a mistake.
The Ming had no choice but to select elite soldiers and strong generals, and use the influence of the Southern Confederacy to do the best in secrecy.
Without even entering the city of Richmond, several wagons carrying Bismarck and his entourage headed for Memphis.
There, Bismarck would take a train to Fengdu.
Halfway through, one of the carriages stopped in a wilderness.
Two old Junkers, five big and three thick, carried Darwin's master and servant who had been stripped off their clothes, socks stuffed in their mouths, and tied into rice dumplings.
"Keep an eye on the two of you on the boat!"
"Sneaky, holding documents all day long and don't know what they're doing!"
"Whether you work for Victoria or not, pray for yourself from now on!"
As he spoke, Junker Sr. reached out and searched his body again, making sure that no valuables like the expensive pocket watch from before were left behind.
He noticed that one of the Englishmen was holding something in his hand, looking like he was holding it as if it were a treasure.
He happily snapped the British's fingers.
Then Ma Ye was shocked.
There's a human bone in it!
Play with you Grandpa Junker!
Old Juncker threw the bones hard, then threw the two dumplings out of the wagon and rolled into the cotton fields by the side of the road.
On the carriage, Zhao Aqian, the secretary of the Ming Rite Department and the secretary of the Honglu Temple, shook his head helplessly.
How rude these Prussians are!
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a savage robber.
No wonder Long Live Lord said that the Germanic barbarians are not a sincere and reliable people, and to cooperate with them, you must be careful about it!
