Chapter Thirty-ninth An Enemy Comes From Afar
Above the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, a fleet slowly headed towards the direction of the capital. At the front of the fleet were four official ships, under the banner of Yang Xifu, the governor of the canal. Each ship had a canal mark and a flood soldier, with four thousand presidents.
In the middle of the fleet were five huge pleasure boats, with people coming and going on the pleasure boats. Except for the Qing officials and soldiers wearing refurbished jackets, the rest were all foreigners with yellow hair, blue eyes and big noses.
The foreigners were naturally William Pete, the commander of the Royal Navy of Great Britain to the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the governor of the canal transportation, Yang Xifu, governor of Liangjiang, and others, there were also governors of Guangdong and Guangxi Li Shiyao, and Nangongzi.
Mo and the owner of Baihua Tower in Guangzhou, Lan Xi and others, from Guangzhou, went north with their guards and boarded the ship in Zhenjiang Zhuangda. At the same time, Song San also led three Qing naval officers and soldiers to join the guard team.
All Heshen had participated in the participation of all the people who were trustworthy, plus three governors, thousands of officers and soldiers, and the high escort standards were rare in the Qing Dynasty.
This trip to William Pete's visit to the Qing Dynasty can be said to be the result of Heshen's work. According to Yu Min, Gao Qi and others, they firmly resisted it. Even Liu Tongxun did not mean that the British people sent people to visit him.
Cold - Since the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia had a falling out over the telegram, most of the court's court's feelings for the "transformation of foreign barbarians" were lost. William chose this time to come to China, and it was inevitable that he would be cold.
William and others waited at Guangzhou Pier for at least ten days, neither allowed to go ashore nor leave the port. In fact, it was equivalent to house arrest. Until they were almost impatient and thought they would return to nothing this time, the two Guangzhou people
Governor Li Shiyao suddenly brought people to appear, and his attitude changed drastically. He was arrogant at first and respectful at the same time, which made Colonel William and Ross very confused.
"Mr. Zhuang, how did Lord Zhuang and Lord persuade your emperor to allow us to meet? Mr. Zimo was so secretive along the way, and you were silent. Lord Zhuang and Lord Zhuang are friends. Now we are here in Tongzhou. We should always be there.
Tell me?"
It was not the first time Colonel Ross asked such a question. He leaned on the side of the boat, and the cold wind blew towards Zhuangda's sky-blue brocade robe, and the braids tied with red silk were quilted.
Lift the old man.
"Mr. Colonel, don't be embarrassed by Mr. Zhuang. You also said that my family and the adults are your friends. When they arrive in the capital, the truth will be revealed..." As he said that, Zhuang Da shrugged, this was what he learned from foreigners.
In the past two years, he replaced Qing Jing and managed the business for Heshen. In addition to Japanese, Korean Ryukyu and others, the rest were foreigners. Not only did he broaden his horizons, but he was even affected in his actions.
"Tell you honestly, it's not only the people who are curious about this matter, but also Zimo and I are in my bones!" Zhuang Da smiled bitterly, "We and lords always act unexpectedly.
Like an antelope hanging on its horns, there is no trace to be found..." He said, and couldn't help but think to himself: "What happened in the capital? Why did you summon both Zimo and Song San?"
It’s not that Zhuang Da is confused. You should know that although he and Nangongzi Mo Songsan are both capable subordinates of Heshen, they don’t really get together.
Zimo and Song San were also puzzled by the same problem.
"This time, the master summoned all of us to Beijing. Could something big happened?"
Nangongzimo's lip is getting thicker and darker, her chin is shaved with green, she is wearing a light green robe, and a red jacket with gold thread embroidered in her maturity. She is full of nobleness, and she is like the grocer who walks around the streets.
Compared with this, it is a world of difference.
Residents and moves the body and nourishes the air, which is not only Nangong Zimo, but also Song San. Since being appointed as the admiral of the Qing Navy Navy by Qianlong, Song San shaved off his beard and showed his original white and handsome appearance.
His face looked gentle and elegant, and he could not hide his killing aura no matter how hard he looked. His eyes were everywhere, and everyone was full of grain, and the wind of the general was revealed.
"Zi Mo is a little calm, he is as slim as a ghost with the adults, destroying the country is like taking a baby. Is there anything else that can stump him? Put your heart in your stomach. This time I go to Beijing, it is unknown whether we have any good things.
!” Song San only admired Heshen in his lifetime. Even though Nangong Zimo had followed Heshen for a long time, he did not care about his words when facing him.
Zimo didn't think it was a pestle, and said with a wry smile: "I hope that as Brother Song said... Hong Fu, who asked his master, has gone from a penny selling peddler to Zimo who is now treated with courtesy when he goes to the governor's office.
Mr. ', although there is no fame and great power, I am afraid that those red-top officials will be envious of them... Life is just a blink of an eye, Zimo has no choice but to ask for peace and safety, and give his master
All things are done..."
"'Do it all'?" Song San repeated and said solemnly: "These four words are easy to say, but they are probably not easy to do. Haven't you seen it for a day or two with you? Our master has been doing this for a day or two?
Ambitions are not enough to be a corner, nor can they stop at high ranks in the temple. His long-term vision and extraordinary ambitions are far beyond our ordinary people. Apart from working hard to do something bad, there is no room for advice.
Master, it’s easy to make achievements, but sometimes, I really consider people’s courage!”
"You mean..." Nangongzimo changed color and stared at Song San in a daze, shocked by his words.
"What am I saying? I didn't say anything. I only know that nowadays, our family and the adults can be half the number, especially Siam, where Zheng Xin is the king and is happy.
The charming two girls have the power, so they only need to say a word to the adults, and they are afraid they can do it at that time..." Song San didn't say the following words, but just stretched out his palm, rushed forward, and then flipped it suddenly.
"Hiss--" Nangong Zimo took a breath of air and wanted to refute it, but Song San said the truth, which made him unable to refute it. He could only choose to remain silent. But his heart suddenly raised it and thought secretly: "
Does the master really have the intention of being a disobedient? If he kills the king and seeks a throne, where should I go?" After thinking about it, he was still unaware of the key points, and he didn't even hear Song San leaving the cabin.
"If you don't have any of you and my husband today, you and my husband will not be able to do anything today. Why are you afraid? If you are afraid, you should speak as soon as possible. Just think that Lan Xi has taken a look..."
"What are you saying? Nangongzi Mo is a manly man, how can I be that ungrateful villain?" Nangongzi Mo was enlightened and stood up to interrupt Lanxi's words. While taking the cup of tea from her,
He glared at her: "Why, in your eyes, is your husband that kind of person?"
Lan Xi had a stern face, but was glared by Nangong Zimo. Not only did she not annoy, she smiled when she broke her face. Bai Zimo glanced at her and said, "This is almost the same. I was inside just now and I thought you were afraid.
What... How many days does Song Sancai have with his master? We can't be left behind by him... They also want to get a wife of imperial decree..."
When she said this, Lan Xi's pretty face was flying, her eyebrows were lowered, her chin almost hit the towering chest, and her shameful look seemed particularly tempting. Nangongzi Mo swallowed and spitted, put down the teacup, and his arms
Yishu hugged him in his arms, smiled and said, "It turns out that my wife also envied the decree wife. It's easy to say, let her husband first..."
"Hate, it's broad daylight... um... don't be outside, go inside..."
The spring scenery is full of the cabin, not as detailed as the list.
After just half an hour, Zimo finally left the cabin with satisfaction and was ramming into someone's arms, as if the man had been listening to the window outside. He felt annoyed in his heart. He looked up and saw
No one else, but he was the deputy envoy of the mission to Qing Dynasty in Great Britain. Earl Alante Richard hurriedly suppressed his anger and bowed to him: "I have seen Mr. Earl, who is standing outside my cabin door, but
Is there anything wrong with finding Zimo?”
Alante is the one who forcibly robbed Linda's inheritance. He is only about thirty years old. His blue and gray pupils are so heroic, and his pride is so arrogant. His towering nose, thin lips, and his handsome appearance are so handsome.
A feeling of looking down on people.
Zimo often deals with foreigners and has heard of this count of Anjou. He knows that he is a descendant of Richard the Great of the Porcelain Dynasty. Although his family no longer ruled Britain, most of the territory was still there and his title was not deprived of it.
The upper class is still a hot character, and it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant, but he doesn't know that all this Alante has was snatched from Linda.
"I heard you are Heshen's slave? You are so lewd during the day. From this point of view, your master is just like this!" Alante sneered, raised his chin, turned away, and was so angry that Nangongzi Mo bite
The broken steel teeth and the fist clattered. If it is not caused by the other party's identity, people must be asked to remove them from the top of the body before they can be relieved.
Alante eavesdropped on a song of spring and despised Zimo, but he became more and more despised by the Qing Dynasty. He took the most gentlemanly steps and knocked on Admiral William's hatch door, and waited for a moment.
With the permission of the people inside, he pushed the door open and saw William and Ross sitting on a chair with a glass of red wine, saying hello slowly, and stood beside him with his hands down.
William actually didn't like Alante, but Alante had a good relationship with Thomas Roy, the governor of the East India Company. This time he took the lead and got the opportunity to go to the Qing Dynasty from Henry III, but he had to accept it.
Alante's request to serve as deputy envoy. There is no way, who made Thomas get close to Henry? Henry III always seems to favor his gentle subordinates. Although he respects him on the surface, he always makes people in his bones.
I felt a little dislocation - this is also the fundamental reason why he cherished the opportunity to go to the Qing Dynasty so much.
"Mr. Richard? Please sit down! Coffee, wine, or tea?" William asked with a smile.
"Tea, thank you!" Allant said politely, sitting in the seat given up by Colonel Ross, with a straight body, paired with his new tuxedo, white collar, neat clothes, and gentlemanly demeanor.
——It would be great if his chin was recycled.
"What else is there except tea, porcelain and silk in the Qing Dynasty? I don't even know the 'heliocentric theory'. I really don't know why His Majesty attaches so much importance to such a foolish and backward country?"
When saying these words, Alante spoke contemptuously, full of disdain.
Rose curled his lips without leaving any trace, thinking that you have never seen the advanced hot air balloons and telegrams of the Qing Dynasty. I am afraid that you don’t know that your real sister has become the princess of the Qing Dynasty, right? Isn’t it just a flattering match?
