Emmanuel waved his hand absently and said, "I've memorized it as early as the ship.?" ranwe?n?ｗ?ｗ?ｗ?．? His Majesty the Honored and Noble Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the destroyer of the barbarians, the savior of the Chinese people, the great wise man and inventor, the god of strategy in the East. Your brilliance shines all over the world, and even on the other side of the sea, there are countless people who are singing the praises of your great ......'"

"Yes, you memorize it fluently." Mansdorf nodded, but said with a straight face, "But I still have to remind you that you have to think about countermeasures in advance for possible emergencies tomorrow." After all, there's a strong competitor out there to 'compete with'. ”

"Huh, the British?"

"He is the brother of the King of England, a prince. Lord Duke, don't take it lightly. ”

Emmanuel turned off the faucet and turned around, "Don't worry, I'm a lot better than him." Although my father is only the Grand Duke of Bavaria, I have the backing of His Majesty the Emperor of the HRE. The British could not have been more enticing than the gift I had brought. ”

Bavaria is a principality under the Holy Roman Empire, the size of Scotland, and it is also a major European power. However, the HRE Emperor Leopold I did not have a prince of the right age, so he could only support the son of the Grand Duke of Bavaria to propose marriage to the Ming Dynasty, thinking that if he could marry this powerful Eastern Empire, it would greatly enhance the influence of the HRE in Europe.

"And," he said, seeing what the envoy was about to say, he immediately raised his voice and preemptively said, "I am more sincere than he is!" I traveled thousands of miles to the Eastern Empire, and the Stuart guy didn't even want to leave the English Isles, so he sent a distant cousin to represent me.

"Also, how magnanimous it is that I have even allowed my bride not to convert to Christianity! That British prince will never be able to do it! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly showed a yearning look, "It is said that the eldest princess of the state is so beautiful that anyone who sees her eyes will not be able to look away......

"You know what? I heard that the Russian prince went back and begged the tsar to agree to all the demands of the Ming kingdom, such as the ownership of the land in the Yenisei River valley, as a dowry for marrying her. ”

"Yes, I've heard that, too." "But he never saw Her Highness the Princess a second time." Well, I wish you all the best, Lord Duke. ”

"Thank you for your blessings."

……

Nanjing Railway Station.

A train slowly stops. A group of guards got out of the car first, and exchanged a few words with the soldiers of the imperial camp on the platform, and then opened another door.

A ten-year-old, handsome, tall young man stepped out of the car.

Shi Lin immediately greeted him and saluted respectfully, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can count yourself back." ”

"Ah, Uncle Shi, why are you here?" Zhu Juhuan suddenly looked around, "Could it be that my father is here?" ”

Shi Lin led him past the queue of imperial soldiers, and then walked around to a room on the side of the station hall, bowed to a seemingly ordinary four-wheeled carriage and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. ”

The carriage door opened, and Zhu Lin, who was already middle-aged, stepped out of the car, and without waiting for the prince to give a salute, he grabbed him and kept looking him up and down, "How is it, you are not injured, right?" ”

Zhu Juhuan knew that his father was asking about his assassination in Japan, and hurriedly said: "Father, I'm fine." Fortunately, there were a few tricks taught by Mr. Wang in the early years, and there was no danger. ”

Zhu Lin nodded, "Master Wang Laixian is also old, you go back to see him and thank him for his grace." ”

He pulled his son into the car, closed the door, and then said: "When your mother heard that you were assassinated, she was so anxious that she couldn't eat or sleep for a few days and nights, and complained all day long that I shouldn't let you go to Japan for inspection." You'll have to comfort her later. ”

"Yes, son."

"By the way, did the assassin catch it?"

"Back to my father, I was killed on the spot by the guards of the Uesugi family. However, according to Governor Lou's inquiry, it was most likely the Maori family who wanted to blame the Uesugi clan. The prince said, "Father, it's just that this assassin actually got a fifteen-type revolver, and the Ordnance Bureau and the army must be strictly investigated." ”

The 15-type revolver is a new gun just developed by the Ming Dynasty in recent years, the thunder * mercury fire cap fire, light and convenient, can be fired six times in a row, the power is amazing, except for the Ming Field Army, it is strictly forbidden for others to use. Now it has flowed into Japan, and it is also used to assassinate the crown prince, which must be strange.

"You'll have to check it out."

The prince said again: "By the way, father, in fact, the assassination of his son this time is also a good thing." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"Back to my father, my sons toured all parts of Japan, and although the Japanese people I saw were respectful to the Ming Dynasty, they secretly still acquiesced to their emperor as the co-master." Zhu Juhuan said, "My father often said that the Japanese are hungry wolves on the side of the Ming couch, and they must be completely crippled and subdued. The retainers thought about it, and they could lead the assassination to the head of the Emperor of the Japanese people. ”

Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You, sometimes you are so much like your mother." ”

The two fathers and sons chatted for a while, and Zhu Juhuan said: "Father, the son-in-law heard that the imperial court is going to use troops against Moxi?" ”

Zhu Lin nodded, "The railway has been repaired to Hami, and the Jungar Department is secretly colluding with the Rakshasas and is ready to move. I'm ready to strike first to eliminate the calamity and the time before it happens. ”

The crown prince immediately bowed his hand and said: "Father, the son-in-law asks for an order to go with the army!" ”

"You?" Zhu Lin subconsciously shook his head, "No, where will you fight......

"Erchen has studied in the military academy for four years, and it is still ...... to march and fight."

"Four years?" Zhu Lin said with a smile, "It's been the Sailor Academy for three years, and the Royal Officer Academy is less than a year." ”

"Father, everything in the army is the same, when you were as old as your son, you had already swept away the Jiangxi thieves with your own strength. Besides, the battlefield is the best school. ”

Zhu Lin looked at him seriously, and after a while, he spoke: "If I really let you go, what position are you going to ask for?" ”

"Erchen can be an alternate staff governor."

Zhu Lin nodded, "Okay, just for your self-knowledge, I will allow you to go." "The crown prince inherited Mu Zhiqing's intelligence, and he has been exposed to Zhu Lin since he was a child, so it is really no problem to be a staff officer.

"Then tell me how do you think this battle should be fought?"

"Back to his father, the son thought that he could recruit 10,000 Japanese soldiers and Manila soldiers, and use 2,000 Ming field troops to supervise the army to meet the enemy head-on. Then with the elite 5,000 field troops, they went around Mobei ......"

……

Forbidden City, Yikun Palace.

Zhen Zhen taught a teenage boy to practice swordsmanship, and said patiently: "Son, my mother has repeated it for you more than ten times, and the tip of the sword should be picked up...... Let me tell you, when your brother Huan was as old as you, he had already learned his mother's swift sword to seven years. ”
