Chapter 345 Shaoquan, are you a descendant of the Li family’s royal family? (Please order and vote)
The short fat man who was talking to Princess Mathilde was called Alexander Corona Valewski, and he was the private son of Napoleon I.
Because he was born without God's approval (marriage), he could not have Bonaparte's surname, nor could he inherit the political legacy of Poleon.
However, Walewski was still put in high regard by his cousin Napoleon III. Now he is appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the French Empire to the United Kingdom, and is responsible for Napoleon III's great cause of the British-French alliance to defeat Tsarist Russia. If this thing is to succeed, he will be the next one.
1st Foreign Minister of the French Empire.
The relationship between Napoleon's illegitimate son and Mathilde is also very good. They are just good half-brothers and sisters with half-surnames. Naturally, they are also very concerned about Mathilde's future. Judging from the current situation, Mathilde obviously
It is impossible to become the queen of the French Empire, and no European king or crown prince is willing to marry her, so her dream of being a queen or queen may be difficult to realize in Europe...\n..\n.\
nBut is it possible that Mathilde could become queen outside Europe?
"Mathilde, did you know? Li Hongzhang's surname is quite prominent in Chinese history," Valewski tried. "I asked several China experts in London. The ancestors of Li Hongzhang were once
Eleven dynasties were established, and more than fifty people were crowned and enthroned!"
"Ah? Eleven dynasties, more than fifty emperors?" Mathilde said in surprise, "Hongzhang's bloodline is so noble?"
Walewski nodded: "This is just China. Among China's vassal states, there are two Li dynasties, the Vietnamese Li Dynasty and the Korean Li Dynasty. Among them, the Korean Li Dynasty still exists and has been passed down.
More than twenty kings!"
"If we include the Lee Dynasty of Vietnam and the Lee Dynasty of Korea, wouldn't there be hundreds of emperors of the Lee family?"
Mathilde couldn't believe it: "Thirteen dynasties, hundreds of kings, there is such a noble bloodline in the world...:.\n. So is it possible for him to revitalize the Li Dynasty in China?"
"It is possible," Walewski said, "that while he was in England he requested military aid from Queen Victoria for his family's army!"
"His family also has an army?" Mathilde's eyes were bright. She was also a Bonaparte! The Bonaparte family did not have royal blood. It was established by the force of Napoleon I.
And Li Hongzhang's family has a noble bloodline. He has established eleven dynasties in China and produced more than fifty emperors. He is so prominent and has a private army. If he can marry another great power that can bring him strong foreign aid,
Princess, it is entirely possible for him to create the twelfth dynasty of the Li family....
At this time, the train stopped and people got off the train.
"Matilde, the Qing envoy has got off the bus," Walewski said, "the first one to step off the pedal is Li Hongzhang!"
"I saw it, he looks so majestic!" Mathilde said, and went up to him, waving his white arms to Li Hongzhang who had just stepped off the train, and said in the Chinese he had just learned, "Li, welcome
Come to Paris!"
Li Hongzhang frowned when he got out of the car. He was worried about the bad news he had received from the country when he was leaving the UK.
Since there is no transoceanic telegraph directly to the mainland of the Qing Dynasty at this time, news from China can only be sent to the British and French embassies in Egypt via steamships that regularly sail between Egypt, Ceylon, Malacca, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.
From Egypt to Italy,
Finally, telegrams were sent from Italy to Paris and London.
The journey from Shanghai to Italy is about 15,000 kilometers and takes two months.
It is now February 1854 AD, which means that Li Hongzhang received the news in December 1853 and before December. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was suffering defeats in various battlefields such as northern Jiangsu, southern Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi.
And the armies of his teacher Zeng Guofan, his father Li Wenxuan, and his classmate Huang Shijie are fighting in northern Jiangsu and Anhui! Needless to say, they must have suffered heavy losses! Maybe the entire army has been wiped out...
But as the Son of Man and a disciple, he was far away in England and could do nothing!
In addition, if the Qing Dynasty is gone, what future does he, the Qing Minister in England, have?
Could it be that he really wants to live in a foreign country and eventually die there? But how can he make a living in a foreign country? He can only be an official...\n
"Lee! Lee...
Li Hongzhang was worried when he suddenly heard a rather expectant voice. He quickly looked up and saw a French beauty with skin like snow, a graceful figure and round features walking towards him. It was Mathilde.
Li Hongzhang, who was in the "lowest period" of his life, suddenly felt warm in his heart - he was so depressed that this superior woman had not forgotten him yet!
"Nice to meet you...\n.\n.\n" Li Hongzhang spoke much more fluent English and wanted to bow to Mathilde, but the latter held his face and raised his feet.
Offered a sweet kiss.
This scene happened to be seen by Sushun, who was getting out of the car behind Li Hongzhang.
This shocked Sushun. Who is this woman? Why did she hug Li Hongzhang and kiss her in public? And she was wearing so few clothes? Is she a serious woman? She can't be the kind who picks up passengers at the train station.
A promiscuous woman, right?
Li Hongzhang was also "stunned" by Mathilde's kiss. Although he had slept with her, he was now at a busy train station, and Sushun, Yuanbao, and Bai Siwen were all present?
"Li, let me introduce you," Mathilde said after kissing Li Hongzhang, holding his hand and pointing at Valewski, "this is the next foreign minister of our French Empire, Count Alexander of the Empire.
Corona Valewski...is also my cousin, his father is Napoleon I!"
Li Hongzhang had met Walewski in the UK, but he didn't know that the other person was so prominent and that he was actually a French brother! So he hurriedly stepped forward to salute with clasped fists and said to Walewski in English: "Hello, Count
.”
Walewski smiled and said: "Call me Alexander...\n..\n. What should I call you?"
Li Hongzhang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Shaoquan, this is one of my... nicknames!"
"Then I will also call you Shaoquan."
Mathilde said with a smile.
"Okay, then I should call you...\n...\n:" Li Hongzhang and Mathilde held hands and asked with a smile.
"Marty," Matilde said, "just call me Marty."
"Okay, Marty, let me introduce you to Prince Sushun, Guard Yuan, Master Bai...
Li Hongzhang introduced Sushun, Yuanbao, Bai Siwen and others to Mathilde and Walewski one by one in fluent English, and then introduced Mathilde and Walewski in Chinese.
In the past few months, Li Hongzhang's English and mathematics have improved by leaps and bounds!
He can already ask Moore and Friedrich for algebra and geometry in English...:.\n. By the way, he is a man who respects his teachers,
So he also called Moore and Friedrich teachers!
Sushun, Yuanbao and Bai Siwen were shocked by Li Hongzhang's "wide range of friends"!
This guy got along well with Queen Victoria in England before, and even danced with the Queen several times! He just arrived in France this time, and he immediately hooked up with a "Gege" and a "Brother":.::..
What the hell is going on?
Although Sushun, Yuanbao and Bai Siwen were suspicious, they had no way to inquire with Li Hongzhang now. Wang Libin, who had been very familiar with Li Hongzhang before, did not come with him. He already brought several large boxes of books and dozens of machines.
Dozens of highly paid foreign craftsmen left Europe and returned to the Qing Dynasty on a British steam frigate leased to the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty, following the British Navy Captain Aspen who was "supported" by the British Admiralty to Luo Xueyan.
So Sushun, Yuanbao, and Bai Siwen had to deal with the greetings with Mathilde and Valewski who came to greet them, and they also thought about asking Li Hongzhang after they got on the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Mathilde did not avoid any male-female defenses at all, and directly pulled Li Hongzhang into her luxurious carriage without giving Sushun and the others a chance to inquire...\n.\n.\n.\
n.
"Shaoquan, dear, are you a descendant of the Li family dynasty?"
When Mathilde's carriage rumbled and rolled, the French princess smiled and asked if Li Hongzhang had royal blood?
"The Li Dynasty?" Li Hongzhang was stunned, "Marty, which dynasty with the Li surname are you talking about? There are ten...::...in China, there are eleven large and small dynasties established by the Li surname. North Korea and Vietnam also have their own dynasties.
One, which one do you mean?"
Sure enough, he is of noble blood!
Mathilde smiled and asked: "Which one will do...::
