Chapter Ninety-Two: Doing Great Things Requires Tiger Skin

The first update, ask for recommendation, support, collection, and Sanjiang tickets

In the middle of the night, Zhu Jishi was still walking slowly in the courtyard of Maria's villa.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the darkest night sky in the east, silently.

That is the direction of the motherland, vast, rich, and populous, but it is still asleep, and even if the catastrophe is coming, it is unaware. And he is the one who awakens the country and the nation!

But this way of awakening the country and the nation is probably very different from what I used to do! Not with a bald pen, a school, a few books, but with blood and fire with a revolution and a war to sweep the old empire, and then, and then what?

Build a strong and united new empire on the ruins of an old empire? Will the British promise? Will France agree? And the Russian Empire, which has always looked down on northern China, will watch a new and vibrant empire take over the decrepit Qing Dynasty?

The lesson of Ali Pasha was still in front of him, and he was almost about to be reborn in his hands, if it had not been for the joint intervention of the four great powers of Great Britain, Russia, Austria, and Prussia. And in the process of Ali Pasha's rise all the way, these powers have helped him a lot! Wasn't Ali Pasha's source of military spending the export of Egyptian cotton to Britain? Wasn't Ali Pasha's Egyptian army trained by French officers? It seems that there are still rumors that the once wise and martial Ali Pasha is now insane, driven mad by imperialism!

Thinking of a crazy old man, Zhu Jishi sighed heavily, and was about to turn around and go back to the house, but saw a beautiful figure appear in front of him. It was his temporary lover, Maria. Clementina.

"Maria," Seeing the beauty, Zhu Jishi's face habitually smiled, but in a blink of an eye, it sank again. "I'm probably going to leave Europe soon, I guess we'll be friends in the future, right?"

Maria smiled, "Of course, maybe at some point in the future, I will consider becoming the imperial princess of China, you have to leave a place for me in the **." ”

Zhu Jishi said lightly: "I may not necessarily rebel, even if I do rebel, I may not succeed!" ”

Maria said softly: "So, you can't make up your mind to rebel because you are worried that you won't succeed?" ”

Zhu Jishi asked rhetorically: "Maria, if Charles. What would Bonaparte do in my current position? ”

Maria smiled silently.

Zhu Jishi said: "Let's talk about how you plan to fund my Jishi University and Jishi Academy?" He stretched out a slap, "50,000 pounds, how about I leave you a place for the imperial concubine in **?" ”

Well, the emperor has started to sell officials before he becomes a prince! Eh, is selling the position of the imperial concubine considered a traitor?

"I'll give it fifty thousand pounds, and I'll keep the position of the imperial concubine." Maria said with a smile. "You have a certain chance to become the emperor of China, and when the time comes, I may really come to China to be your imperial concubine, in case your queen can't give birth to a son, and I can give birth to a son for you, I will be the future queen mother of China."

Zhu Jishi was speechless.

Maria laughed, "We France are not Britain, we have no maritime supremacy, and we don't have much colonial interest in the East, so it is possible for China and France to establish a lasting friendship, for the sake of friendship between the two countries, I am very willing to enter your **." ”

But that doesn't sound credible!

Zhu Jishi said coldly: "Why do I think you have been inciting me to rebel against the Qing Dynasty?" I was certified by the Pope as a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family, and you also have a share of the credit, right? ”

"Whether it's a credit depends on the result of zuihou, if you really become the emperor of China, I am indispensable." The beauty smiled.

"If I lose my head for rebellion, you will also be harmed!" Zhu Jishi muttered, turned around and walked towards the house, with Maria following behind. There was a whale oil lamp in the living room, and Han Si and Er Liu were waiting there.

Zhu Jishi was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Han Si took a step forward, bowed down and said, "My subordinates give the lord justice." "It's just that this style looks like what it looks like on the stage of later generations.

"Where does the joy come from?" Zhu Jishi sat on the sofa, and Maria sat beside him with a smile, looking like a housewife.

"The messenger of His Royal Highness Prince Albert has just arrived."

Han Si presented invitations and letters with both hands, which were impressively stamped with the marks of the Hanover royal family. Zhu Jishi opened it and saw that it was Prince Albert who invited him and Maria to Windsor Castle for a meeting to discuss the establishment of Hong Kong Jishi University and Jishi College, and also emphasized that he was ready to help Hong Kong Jishi University open a military college!

Zhu Jishi smiled bitterly, "Britain won't help us open universities and military academies for no reason, Prince Albert's purpose is just to use me to divide China!" ”

Han Si said with a happy face: "My subordinates congratulate the Lord and the Lord!" ”

Zhu Jishi was stunned, and then looked at Er Liu, who also had an excited expression on his face, and immediately understood that the three people in front of him were traitors and thieves who conspired to split the motherland!

"My lord, did His Royal Highness Prince Albert of the United Kingdom really promise to help us open a military academy in the letter?" Liu Peng's voice trembled when he asked.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert ...... Zhu Jishi nodded and said in his heart: "This Liu Peng probably wants to hug Prince Albert's thick legs instead of himself, right?" This guy can't be trusted! ”

"My lord, did Prince Albert make any conditions?" Liu Jiong suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a low voice.

"Nope!" Zhu Jishi replied.

Liu Jiong smiled and said: "Since this is the case, the subordinates are also congratulating the lord!" ”

Of course, Britain has a plan, but it is not easy to sign a traitorous treaty! Some benefits are given, and if you want to make a treaty in black and white, it will attract infamy! Besides, when did you say that you wanted to restore the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Jishi sighed in his heart, and looked at Maria again, she has just begun to learn Chinese with Zhu Jishi now, naturally she can't understand the conversation between Zhu Jishi and Erliu and Han Si, but he can guess the general content.

Maria said in a smug voice: "Jason, you can refuse the support of the weak French Orleans dynasty, but you must not refuse the British, otherwise you will not be able to do anything!" Because Britain is the hegemon of Shijie, and Hong Kong is also a British colony! If you really intend to rebel in southern China, the British Empire will definitely support you, because China is too big for them, and they wish that China would be divided into two or even three countries so that they can profit from the chaos. If the country you rule becomes strong and shows signs of unifying China, the British Empire will certainly deal with you as it did with Ali Pasha, but I would suggest you accept the support of the British! Because the situation in Europe is changing very quickly, no one knows when a new European war will break out, and Britain will have no time to take care of it. ”

This analysis is very thorough! The female aristocracy of Europe in this era is really not simple!

As Maria said, of course, Britain will not have any good intentions towards China, but now, Zhu Jishi knows that his relationship with Prince Albert is still in the honeymoon period, and in the British prince's mind, he must have political ambitions, either rebelling to become the emperor or promoting Chinese reform, both of which will inevitably cause the original stagnant Chinese political situation to stir up, and it is only expected that there will be trouble, and how Britain will profit from the chaos depends on the situation.

As for himself, even if he knows that he is seeking skin with the tiger, there is no way out! Unless they are willing to give up their current wealth and dreams of changing China, and become a pure "scientist" to contribute to their European scientific career.
