Chapter 320 I have the second volume of "The Great Book of Prophecy"! (Please order and vote)
"Hello, Mr. Li, can we have a dance?"
When the waltz in Buckingham Palace sounded again, a beautiful mature woman with bold clothes, graceful curves, exposed shoulders, arms, a large back and half a breast suddenly walked up to Li Hongzhang, stretched out a jade hand and said with a stiff
The Chinese invites him to dance with him.
Li Hongzhang couldn't handle it now - this dress is too thin, isn't it? It's winter, isn't she afraid of catching a cold? And this chest...\n... is too full, right? Half of it is still exposed
Half of it, isn't this blatantly seducing men in the palace? What does she do? She can't be an official prostitute in England, right? It looks good... It's quite irritating! I don't know how much it costs to do it once?
Li Hongzhang came all the way across the ocean, and he hasn’t eaten meat for a long time!
When the Queen of England saw Li Hongzhang in a daze, she smiled and said to him: "Li, the... princess of France!"
"Princesse of France...Princess!"
Li Hongzhang's eyes almost popped out of his head. He thought she was a prostitute, but she turned out to be a princess! She was also the princess of the great power France!
Fortunately, I didn't tell anyone about that, otherwise there would have been an international dispute!
"Mr. Li, let's dance!"
Of course Princess Mathilde didn't know that she was almost mistaken for a prostitute by the Chinese official in front of her, and she enthusiastically invited Li Hongzhang to dance with her!
Li Hongzhang really wanted to dance with her. Her figure was much better than that of the Queen, she could squeeze water out of her mouth, and her face was also beautiful. Although she also had a round face, it was much better than the Queen's bun face!
But he still doesn't quite understand the rules here in England...\n.\n:..Isn't he here to dance with the Long Live Empress? It's not against the king's law to change people in the middle, right?
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the Queen. Victoria nodded with a smile, and then handed her chubby hand to Prince Albert beside him.
Seeing that the queen was dancing with others, Li Hongzhang felt relieved. With a smile on his face, he reached out and took the hand that Mathilde handed over.
He kissed her hands politely again, then stood up and led Mathilde to the dance floor.
"Princess..
After twirling a few times on the dance floor with his arms around the pretty French princess, Li Hongzhang started chatting with her.
"Please call me Mathilde."
Princess Mathilde said in rather blunt Chinese.
"Mathilde, do you speak Chinese?" Li Hongzhang also asked in Chinese.
"I only know a little bit...:" Mathilde said with a smile, "I just learned it."
"Then what other languages ​​do you speak?" Li Hongzhang asked again.
Mathilde smiled and said: "French, English, Russian, Italian, German...
"Then...\n.\n..\n. Then let's use English."
Li Hongzhang felt that his English should be better than the other person's Chinese: "Please speak slower and I will listen more carefully."
"Okay," Mathilde thought for a moment, then leaned her plump body towards Li Hongzhang and spoke in stiff Chinese, "Do you know about devils, angels and the "Great Book of Prophecy"?"
It turns out that Mathilde came to London to inquire about the "Great Prophecy".
Queen Victoria owned the glorious and prosperous British Empire, and she had been the Crown Prince of England since she was a child. She became the Queen of England without any effort, so she was full of confidence in the future of herself and the empire.
But Mathilde paid too much to revive the Bonaparte family. As a result, she did not become the queen of France, but only got a princess of the French Empire. She was a bit unwilling.::::.And she and Napoleon III were both
It is clear that the foundation of the Second French Empire was not solid.
The reason why the French support Napoleon III as emperor is simply to relive the old dream of the Napoleonic Empire to dominate Europe. If Napoleon III cannot make France great again, then his throne will soon "expire"
The current situation in Europe and France itself is completely different from the situation when Napoleon I was crowned.
At that time, the population controlled by the French Empire was comparable to that of Tsarist Russia - about 30 million in mainland France. Counting the territories that were added to France after the Revolution until the peak of the Napoleonic Empire, France's population was close to 35 million.
Moreover, France had just experienced the cleansing of the Great Revolution, and there were a large number of citizens in France who were willing to shed their lives and blood for the country.
At that time, most of the European countries were under the rule of various feudal dynasties, and the consciousness of nation-states had not yet emerged. Most of the armies of various countries were mercenaries from the court, and their fighting enthusiasm was not comparable to that of the French citizen army.
In addition, Napoleon I was indeed the greatest military strategist in Europe at that time, bar none!
However, the population of France, which was taken over by Napoleon III, was already significantly smaller than that of the Russian Empire. It was even called the "North German Region" and was on par with the Austrian Empire. It was not even much larger than the United Kingdom.
And now the concept of nation-state has become popular in Europe. Not only Germany is seeking to unify, but even Italy wants to be united.
As for Napoleon III's military ability...\n:::. Anyway, it is definitely far behind his uncle Napoleon I.
Therefore, the empire of Napoleon III had to live in partnership with the Catholic Church, the largest conservative party in Europe. But the problem is that relying on the power of the church to maintain the empire in Paris, an "old revolutionary area", is a bit uncertain no matter how you look at it!
So it is not surprising that Napoleon III and Princess Mathilde were interested in mysterious things such as devils, prophets, angels, and prophecies.
However, Napoleon III still has to pretend to be progressive now, and it is not convenient for him to come forward in person to promote feudal superstition. But Princess Mathilde has no worries. Naturally, she can go to England to find Li Hongzhang on behalf of her "scumbag" cousin.
It’s about the Book of Prophecy.
If this "Great Prophecy" is really accurate, she also wants to ask herself if there is any chance of becoming a queen, queen or queen in the future+
Last time when Napoleon I was emperor, there were quite a few people in the Bonaparte family who got the throne!
"I don't know much about devils, angels, prophets, etc.," Li Hongzhang said in a "Chinese-English bilingual mix" while holding a mature and beautiful princess in his arms, "But I know the "Great Prophecy"
.　
Mathilde opened her eyes wide and asked, "How much do you know?"
"I know two!" Li Hongzhang replied.
"Two...two books?" Mathilde was so excited that she almost put a pair of soft and waxy "big mountains" on Li Hongzhang, "Really two books?"
"There are two books!" Li Hongzhang nodded affirmatively, "The first volume and the second volume...the first volume predicts what will happen this year, and the second volume predicts what will happen next year!"
"Oh God!" Mathilde looked at Li Hongzhang with expectant eyes, "Li...can you show me the second volume?"
"Yes, of course!" Li Hongzhang nodded.
The second volume of "The Great Book of Prophecy" was originally meant for people like Mathilde!
After all, it was already late 1853 when the first volume of the "Great Book of Prophecy" was delivered to Europe. Most of the prophecies in it had "expired" and had become historical records.
The effect of deception is naturally not very good, so Luo Yaoguo gave the second volume of "The Great Book of Prophecy" to Li Hongzhang and Wang Libin, and asked them to take it to Europe to win the trust of those big people who could afford big prices.
If most of the contents in the second volume of the "Major Prophecy" come true, then the third volume of the "Major Prophecy" or the "Prophet" and the thirty or so subsequent volumes will become a real "Golden Finger"
”, you can use it to exchange resources for technology.
"That's great...\n..\n." Mathilde was so excited that she couldn't contain herself. She stood up and kissed Li Hongzhang on the cheek. Li Hongzhang was a little confused by the kiss.
A woman is too, too much of a woman, right? Does her man know that she is like this?
"But...\n.\nI don't carry the second volume of the "Great Book of Prophecy" with me." Li Hongzhang quickly explained to the other party, "If you want to read it..."
Seeing Li Hongzhang hesitate to speak, Mathilde immediately smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go back to the Brown Hotel with you...\n.\n.\n.\n.\nTonight!"
"
"Going to Brown's Hotel tonight?" Li Hongzhang nodded, "Okay, okay, let's read a book together!"
Just reading a book, nothing else.
But Li Hongzhang and Mathilde will definitely not know it now. When they met after the dance, they went to a room in the Brown Hotel to read a book. In the coffee shop of the Brown Hotel, they spent the whole day studying Moore.
Chapter completed!
