Chapter 874

"Duke Peter, you are too polite." After arriving in Moscow, Joseph spent his days attending various cocktail parties and dinners.

Of course, every dinner party is accompanied by a large group of women who are too beautiful to talk. But today is more special, today we have invited a dance troupe from the East. Every beauty carries a mysterious oriental beauty.

This kind of dance troupe must be expensive, and to be able to enjoy such a reception in Europe is definitely due to the extreme respect that the host family has for their guests.

"Hahaha! It's nothing, guests from afar. Please taste the fine wine from Daming, I heard that this wine called Wuliangye is made from five kinds of grains, and it is also a rare good thing in Daming. ”

Duke Peter was holding a shiny glass wine bottle in his hand, and Joseph recognized the three big characters with gold letters on a red background on it, Wuliangye!

He drank this kind of wine in Daming, and he didn't bring it to Napoleon. As a best-selling commodity in Daming, Wuliangye is definitely a luxury item in Europe. Basically, it belongs to the kind that has no price, and it is not very easy for remote Russia to get this thing.

I don't know exactly how much Duke Peter spent!

Joseph didn't care how much money was spent, and although the recent days had been too pleasant, Joseph had not forgotten the task that his brother had given him. Obtained the credentials of the Russian Empire and finalized the content of the negotiations.

As long as the content of the negotiations is truly determined to be a legally binding document, Russia will only be able to rely on France's snort in the future.

Such a thing as an anti-French alliance will never happen again.

For such a big thing, Joseph still did not dare to slack off. It's been a week since I came to Moscow, and I've been eating and playing with women every day, and although this kind of day is good, Joseph has already smelled a sense of delay.

"Wuliangye, this wine is very good, I have tasted it with His Excellency the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that it was still ten years old, and it was indeed the best of the best. Joseph seems to have inadvertently revealed that he had a good relationship with Daming.

"Oh, I didn't expect Joseph to have a friendship with His Excellency the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty." Peter was obviously interested, the Ming Empire was the most powerful empire in the world today, and no one dared to underestimate them.

Even if a small country does not enter the stream, it can climb into relations with the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, and it can crisscross between the European powers.

"We have a great friendship, including the Generalissimo's brother, His Excellency the Commander of the Navy Li Hugh, and the Governor of Ceylon, His Excellency Li Hu. They are all my friends! Joseph proudly showed off to Peter.

Peter secretly hated it in his heart because of the support of Daming. It will allow France to have powerful weapons, and these weapons are the main culprits of the current imbalance of power in Europe.

No matter how many troops the anti-French alliance gathered, they would eventually be defeated by the French army, armed with Ming weapons and trained by the Ming people.

"Today, I specially invited a beauty from Goryeo, Joseph, since you are familiar with His Excellency the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, you must be no stranger. It is necessary to be firm that these beauties who claim to be oriental beauties are not beautiful enough. Peter took his glass and clinked it with Joseph.

"Oh! Goryeo beauty, synonymous with gentleness and deference. I'd love to help you taste it! Joseph and Peter clinked glasses.

At this time, twenty or thirty Oriental beauties poured in outside the door, although they were Oriental beauties, they were all dressed as European ladies. With jet-black hair, black eyes, and a European-style dress, he looks indescribably awkward.

It was the first time Joseph had seen an Oriental woman dressed like this.

As a veteran of flowers, Joseph felt that the figure of oriental women was generally slender. It is not suitable to wear such a European-style dress, especially the difference in figure. It makes the Oriental people seem a little helpless!

But these oriental women in front of them, all of them are plump and bursting, and they are even more European women than European women. This made Joseph very excited, it is rare to see such a large number of Oriental women.

The matter of asking Peter when he would be received by Her Majesty the Empress was thrown out of the clouds at once.

Two of the most beautiful and hottest dancers committed themselves to Joseph. Touching the delicate and smooth skin, Joseph felt that his body that had been hollowed out was suddenly filled with majestic power.

Although they claim to be aristocrats, most European women have heavy body hair. And their skin looks fair, but it actually feels quite rough to the touch.

Where is like the Oriental Beauty, the body hair on the body is almost non-existent. The skin is as smooth as the silk produced by the Ming Dynasty, and when you touch the beauty, you will be coquettish, as if you want to touch the water.

Kneading the slippery fingertips and sniffing them under their noses, the two oriental beauties immediately became coquettish, causing Joseph to laugh.

"Joseph! Cheers, my friend! Peter raised his glass and gave Joseph another glass.

"Haha! Peter, thank you for the caviar, thank you for the Wuliangye, thank you for the beauty. Cheers! Joseph took the five grains from the crystal cup, touched it with Peter, and drank it all.

The attachés under him have long been accustomed to this kind of life these days. Now I see the Black Sea caviar, the fine wine of the Ming Dynasty, and the beauties from the East.

While eating and drinking, they began to laugh wantonly with those oriental women. The most important thing is that those Oriental women actually know French. This made them so excited, that the romantic Frenchman had lost his poetic temperament, and was like a beast mixed with the dancing girls.

Peter frowned, but quickly blended into the environment. Holding two beauties in his arms, he stood in the middle of the arena and danced a Russian folk dance. The two legs were spring-like, which opened Joseph's eyes and raised his glass frequently.

When he woke up the next morning, Joseph felt dizzy. Beside him were two slippery bodies, and it was another crazy night. For some reason, Joseph was so excited last night that he seemed to be flying.

Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling carved with intricate ornamentation. Joseph felt as if he had something to say to Peter, but he forgot about it.

I thought about it for a long time, but I haven't remembered it yet.

I simply didn't want to, so I simply pulled the bell twice. After a night of scuffle, what I ate last night was almost digested. Now is the time to be hungry!

A butler-like man pushed the door open and walked in, stopping a full five meters from Joseph's bed.

"Bring me breakfast."

"Yes, sir!" The official family walked out, and it didn't take long for a few maids to walk in with a few dining carts.

Joseph has also been well-informed over the years, and the breakfast in Europe is generally not very rich. In fact, the level of cooking in Europe is respected by France.

Those Prussians are still gnawing on those half-baked pig's knuckles.

As for Russia, cooking comes and goes, in fact, it is barbecue. It's nothing more than turning roast venison into roast bear meat. Or the caviar from the Black Sea, which is almost eaten raw.

Looking at the world, it is estimated that there are many people who can compare with French cooking.

He had never eaten anything so delicious outside of Daming. Crispy roast duck, sweet and sour pot wrapped meat, tender tenderloin, and the most mouth-watering hot pot.

But today, he was surprised. He actually met Da Ming's ...... here Xiao Long Bao!

The other things didn't move, so let someone bring the xiaolongbao first. Skillfully picked up the chopsticks and put one in his mouth, and soon the frequency of the chopsticks became faster and faster.

This xiao long bao is really good!

Joseph is sure that this is the work of the Ming chef. Unexpectedly, in order to please himself, Peter actually got a chef from Daming.

Joseph was pleased with Peter's deference. But satisfaction is satisfaction, but you can't always drag yourself like this. Napoleon is still waiting for his reply!

"Inform Duke Peter that I will see him in the afternoon." After eating breakfast, Joseph immediately gave orders to the liaison officer.

"Yes!"

Watching the liaison officer walk out, Joseph walked into the spacious bedroom again in his nightgown, and slept with the two oriental beauties in his arms.

"Your Majesty, I have done everything I can, and I cannot delay any longer. Fortunately, it is already the end of September, and even if Joseph hurried back, I estimate that Napoleon's arrival in Moscow would be November. Our plan to delay was almost successful. "Peter has been exhausted these days, and now he can't afford to delay, so he can only ask Empress Catherine for a showdown.

"I'm afraid that even if Napoleon wants to attack, he won't be able to organize the wrong thing without half a month." Kutuzov had the news coming back from Vilnius in his hands.

"Part of the French army has begun to return home. The rest of the troops, surnamed Li, were also packed up and ready to retreat at any time. Napoleon spent his days hunting and distracted, never expecting us to break our promise. ”

Kutuzov with a happy tune if Napoleon could not quickly assemble the army. They will not come to attack Moscow again this winter anyway, after all, Napoleon is not stupid. Even if he didn't know how terrible the Russian winter was, his men would surely be reminded.

Not attacking this winter means that Russia has half a year to prepare for war. This is very beneficial for the growth of the Praetorian Guard!

"Something must be done to provoke Napoleon into an offensive this winter." Dorgon's voice changed color, and he immediately spoke.

"Why?"

"Why?"

"Why?"

Three voices sounded almost simultaneously, and Catherine, Kutuzov, and Duke Peter looked at Dolgon like monsters.

If we delay fighting again for eight or nine months, the Russian army will be better equipped and better trained. Why provoke Napoleon now and let him attack Russia now?

"Even if we delay for eight or nine months or even a year, the strength of the French army is still much higher than that of our Russia. If we fight again, we will most likely still lose.

Only with the help of the cold winter, dragging down their long supply lines, will we be able to defeat the French army. Dorgon said nervously.

Belch......!

The three of them looked at each other, none of them had thought about it.

Indeed, even after a year of training and armament. It was also difficult for the Russian army to defeat the French army, which had been fighting for many years and had extremely rich combat experience.

"Only with the help of the power of the cold can the main force of the French army be defeated. In order to make Napoleon's vitality greatly damaged, so that we can contact other European countries to directly attack France mainland and force Napoleon to abdicate. ”

"Dolgon, Napoleon had a good relationship with the Ming, and his brother Joseph had a better relationship with the Ming. If they do this, will it cause Daming to interfere. Peter was impressed by the fact that last night, Joseph boasted about his relationship with the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hah! Daming meddling? Duke Peter, you calculate how far Francis is from the Ming Dynasty. Wait for Daming to deliver the news to China, and then make a decision in China. It is estimated that Napoleon's bones are cold!

Far away, Daming will not make a judgment in time. Even if they tried to stop it then, it would definitely be too late. At that time, the wood has been completed, and Daming has no choice. ”

Belch......! I have to say, Dolgon's point makes sense.

The Ming Dynasty traveled thousands of miles to Europe, and it took three months or even half a year to take a ship. The news came and went, and even if Da Ming wanted to help Napoleon, he couldn't reach it.

"Then how to provoke him? You can't kill Joseph, that's a bit unreasonable. Duke Peter spread his hands helplessly.

Between European countries, even in a state of war, the nobility generally rarely killed each other.

The reason is that most of the nobles of European countries are related to each other, and more importantly, the nobles do not kill the nobles, which is also beneficial to themselves.

There is no permanent victory in the world, and God knows that one day he will fail to lead his troops to fight. In the event that defeat falls into the hands of the enemy, you can return home after paying a certain amount of ransom.

They will not be slaughtered or sold as slaves, like the big-headed soldiers.

This was in the interests of all the nobles, so Duke Peter opposed the killing of Joseph.

"Indeed, you can't kill Joseph." As the spokesperson of the aristocracy, Catherine also spoke out against it.

Kutuzov nodded, he was also a member of the opposition, because he was also a nobleman.

"Since you can't kill Joseph, let's settle for the next best thing. Shaved his beard and stripped him naked. Escort him through the streets! Then, lock him up with the dog. "Dolgon faced three powerful people, and there was no choice but to give another answer.

The three of them looked at each other, and finally nodded in agreement. After all, it's one thing to kill someone, it's another thing to insult someone.

Russia humiliated Joseph, and this did not break the rules among the nobility. Although, this approach is somewhat ungentlemanly.

"Tell Joseph that tomorrow I will meet him in the Kremlin and have him read out the instrument of surrender of Russia in public." Ekaterina held the scepter in her hand and said firmly.
