Chapter 953: The Princess Who Ran Away from Marriage

Seeing off Prince William and Kalunway and others, Feng Yunshan fell into deep thought. ()

He glanced at Moltke, who had been standing beside him, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

It's not a deliberate temptation, just now when Prince William and Karen Wei said goodbye to him and dragged Princess Elizabeth back to the Western Inn, Feng Yunshan deliberately did not give any orders to Moltke and the others, just to see the reaction of Moltke and the others. The results have come out, and Moltke followed Liu Shengbang to stand quietly next to him and serve without moving, as if he did not know that Prince William was leaving; But Wadsey took it upon himself to send Prince William out, and Schlieffen, another major officer from Prussia, looked like a standard soldier and just watched the prince out.

From this, Feng Yunshan could naturally see that Moltke and Schlieffen were both reliable people who had integrated themselves into the military status of the Chinese Empire, rather than Prussian officers. On the contrary, Wadsey was greeted in front of Prince William, and his mind was not settled in the General Staff of the Chinese Empire. In this regard, Feng Yunshan was not very disgusted. Wadsey himself was an officer from the Prussian Junker aristocracy, and it was estimated that he was also a pure Prussian nationalist, and it was really difficult for him to abandon his motherland and join the Chinese Empire, since this was the case, Feng Yunshan was not ready to keep him, and he decided to send him back to China with Prince William this time.

Of course, he had just received a promise from Prince William that the General Staff of the Chinese Empire would send someone to return to Prussia with him, and that he could go to Prussia to recruit a large number of retired and active officers and soldiers to come to the Chinese Empire, as grassroots officers of the captive army, and help Feng Yunshan lead a group of soldiers with excellent military qualities to come out. Feng Yunshan believed that the preferential treatment he offered would certainly make the hearts of those Prussian professional soldiers who were still in poverty. For example, Krupp is a representative, he has joined the nationality of the Chinese Empire, and was canonized by Feng Yunshan as the Marquis of Krupp, recognizing himself as a member of the subjects of the Chinese Empire.

Feng Yunshan pondered two things.

One is that Prince William said that the Papal States next to the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Cavour, seemed to get its king Vittorio. With the support of Emmanuel II, an action for the unification of the Italian nation began, and through his efforts, the French Emperor Napoleon III supported the two sides to fight against Austria.

First of all, it was Cavour who instigated Lombardy to carry out revolutionary activities, thus luring Austria into intervening as if it were invading the domains of the Kingdom of Sardinia, giving the French Empire a justified reason to send troops, and the combined armies of France and the Kingdom of Sardinia successively engaged in two large-scale battles in Margenta and Sufalino. Although Joseph personally commanded the army, he was still defeated by the Franco-Saxian army, and Austria withdrew its troops to the border with Venetiania. Just as the Sardinian army was preparing for a large-scale attack on Venesia (northern Italy) to recover it by the way, Prussia and other German states joined in solidarity with Austria, fearing that the Kingdom of Sardinia was too strong and were ready to send troops to support Austria, at this time, Napoleon III decided to withdraw from the war and secretly negotiate peace with the Austrian emperor.

The Prime Minister of Sardinia, Cavour, was very angry with the betrayal of the French Empire, and he strongly demanded that King Emanuel II of Sardinia continue the war no matter what, but the King of Sardinia decided to accept the facts, and Cavour resigned.

Through Prince William's narration, Feng Yunshan learned more inside stories that Guo Songtao, the special envoy to Europe, could not know. He immediately realized that the process of unification of Italy had been started, but what gave him a headache was that he knew the final result of this process better than anyone else in the world, but he could not do anything about it, whether it was Prussia or his own Chinese Empire, because it was too far away from the Kingdom of Sardinia, there was no way to gain any benefits from it, this feeling made Feng Yunshan very unhappy.

Of course, what is even more unpleasant is the second thing that Prince William said.

Prince William's sister, Princess Elizabeth, was originally engaged to the third son of Leopold, Archduke of Baden, and now Friedrich I, Archduke of Baden, was engaged a few years ago, but because Prince William traveled around the Chinese Empire, and after returning to Berlin, he told Princess Elizabeth a lot of Feng Yunshan's deeds, and now when Princess Elizabeth married Friedrich I, Princess Elizabeth found that she had already been captured by the Oriental hero who had never been seen in the East. She fell for the emperor of the East, who had built an empire larger than the entire kingdom of Prussia. She refused to marry the somewhat mentally ill Grand Duke of Baden, and she did not want to be a political gift used by the Prussian royal family to envelop the surrounding states, but her father, Prince Wilhelm, naturally disagreed, and put her under house arrest until the marriage date.

In desperation, she begged her only sibling brother, Prince William, to help her. It just so happened that William was ordered to envoy to the Chinese Empire, so he secretly brought her to Shengjing.

Prince William said very vaguely, just hoping that Feng Yunshan could take more care of Princess Elizabeth and let her live in the palace for the sake of his relationship with the Prussian Kingdom and him.

But how could Feng Yunshan not understand the meaning of his words. This is undoubtedly Prince William quietly handing over his sister to himself!

It's nonsense! Feng Yunshan couldn't laugh or cry!

He even had some suspicions that this was in itself a pretext, and that it was merely a plan by the scheming regent of Prussia to deepen Prussia's relations with the Chinese Empire. But when you think about it, it's impossible. The Chinese Empire was too far away for Prussia, and the Grand Duchy of Baden, an important member of the southwestern German states, was undoubtedly more important to Prussia than the distant Chinese Empire, and Prince Wilhelm would not have done so.

In this way, there is only one possibility left: what Prince William said is true, this twenty-two-year-old princess named Louise Marie Elizabeth really admires herself, and because of herself, she ran away from marriage, ran away from home, and ran to find herself. This, this is too!

The hateful little Prince William really thinks that his friendship with him is so deep that he wants to give his only sister to himself as a concubine, oh, a concubine, to such a point!

Feng Yunshan had a headache about how to explain to Empress Cheng Lingnan, as well as the Jade Concubine Su Sanniang, the Concubine Cheng Lingbei and the Virtuous Concubine Fu Shanxiang and others. You must know that after accepting Fu Shanxiang at the beginning, Feng Yunshan took the initiative to say that this was the last concubine, but he didn't expect to be shoehorned into one now, and she was still a Western woman.

Wait a minute? Why do you have a headache? Feng Yunshan was stunned for a moment. He found that he had subconsciously accepted this Western woman as his concubine, and even considered how to explain it to the other four women. Could it be that he still has the desire to ride a Yanpo in his bones?

Terrible! Feng Yunshan hurriedly shook his head, and thought to himself: Just be one more godsister, let that Princess Elizabeth stay with Fu Shanxiang for a while, and after a while, when things calm down, let Karenwei send her back.

Feng Yunshan quickly put this matter behind him, after all, even if he left most of the state affairs to Zeng Guanlan, vice premier of the cabinet, and Zuo Zongtang, chief of the general staff, as the king of a country, there are still a lot of things, especially some major matters involving the national system.

Soon after the French envoy and the Prussian envoy were sent away, Wu Ruxiao of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to report that the Japanese lord, the king of Siam, the king of Burma, the king of Gurkha, the king of Zhe Mengxiong, the king of Bulukeba, the Sikh Maharaja, Java, etc., came to pay tribute and presented a large number of treasures and curiosities.

Feng Yunshan was too lazy to meet them one by one, so he asked Wu Ruxiao to gather all these vassal states and neighboring countries together and meet them in a unified manner. Not surprisingly, most of these envoys were princes of these feudal states, saying that they had come to pay tribute on the orders of their own lords, but in fact, they had the meaning of leaving themselves in the Holy Capital as a proton.

Of course Feng Yunshan will not say it, these vassal states or neighboring countries, if they want to make them feel at ease, it is up to them, Feng Yunshan does not care. Of course, what should be taught and cleaned up, naturally it is still necessary to teach and clean up, and it is not something that you can change by staking a son who is not very favored.

Under the pretext of being invaded by the British, Bulukepa cut off the tribute to China, and assisted the British as the hated "Panditta" to become the vanguard of the invasion of Tibet. After Feng Yunshan learned about the situation, he naturally wanted to use it as a target to deter other vassal states and vassal states.

So, the sad Prince Bulukeba was directly arrested by the Royal Forest Sergeant, and after some torture, he admitted that King Bulukeba had turned his back on the suzerain, the Chinese Empire, and took refuge in the arms of the British, and the prince himself was also a secret agent in the British Indian colony of Calcutta.

In the midst of the fear and fear of the envoys of other countries, Feng Yunshan directly announced that the Gurkha king and the French king Zhe Mengxiong would jointly send troops to attack Bulukeba, destroy it, and send half of the spoils to Shanggong Shengjing, and the rest would be distributed to the Gurkha Kingdom and Zhe Mengxiong according to the proportion of the troops, and all the land occupied would also belong to the two vassal states, and the specific distribution plan would be decided by Wu Ruxiao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire.

In one sentence, it directly decided the life and death of Bulukeba. The envoys of the vassal states present were secretly terrified and frightened.

Feng Yunshan's operation with Bulukeba was not only to teach Bulukeba a lesson, but more importantly, he received a secret letter from the Gurkha king Suran Debala brought by the Gurkha envoy, and cooperated with Suran Debala to eradicate the pro-British minister, Prime Minister ****. Sulandebala's sincerity was indeed full, and the envoys he secretly sent were his only teenage sons, the only heirs of the kingdom.
