Chapter 505 Prince Albert's Delusions and Tsar Alexander's Special Envoy (please book, vote)
"Garlic and Coptis chinensis...What is Coptis chinensis?"
Prince Albert knew about garlic and had eaten it, but he had never heard of Coptis chinensis. Now it is related to his life span, so of course he has to ask more clearly.
"It is a herb. I have seen it in a missionary's notes. It seems that China uses it to treat diarrhea." The chief medical officer of Buckingham Palace is indeed knowledgeable and even knows that "the mute eats coptis chinensis,"
There is no way to express the pain." Coptis chinensis.
Could it be that I had diarrhea? Prince Albert guessed that he might die.
Viscount Palmerston's words interrupted Prince Albert's random thoughts: "Prince, the envoy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom said that their prime minister knew a special prescription, which required a large amount of garlic and coptis chinensis, which could use them as the main ingredients.
, produce a special medicine that can treat digestive tract diseases, which can help prolong lifespan."
Prince Albert's eyes lit up, "Can it treat digestive tract diseases? It also includes stomach problems?"
Gastric disease is also one of the three main factors that destroy health, and two are heavy work and Queen Victoria.::
"I think so," said Viscount Palmerston, "but the Prime Minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has no way to find chemists and pharmacists who can help him make medicine, and lack experimental and production equipment...
"Then send it to him!" Queen Victoria said sternly, "Duke, let this matter be handled by your British Magic Commission...\nBe sure to be quick!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The second Duke of Wellington stood at attention and immediately received the glorious mission of "save Prince Albert" given by Her Majesty. "I will find a willingness to go to China to work as a demon in the shortest time...
:::.Chemists and pharmacists in drug research will also prepare the necessary experimental and production equipment!”
Queen Victoria turned her eyes to Viscount Palmerston again.
The British Prime Minister understood what the Queen wanted to ask, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, there is no principled difference between us and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and we will soon be able to conclude the Sino-British Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation."
The queen just wanted to say "Okay", but Prince Albert had already returned to some gods: "Wait, have the differences between us and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom about the Treaty of Nanjing been breached?"
"No." The Prime Minister shook his head.
"How can we reach cooperation without bridging the differences?" Prince Albert stared at the elderly, slightly old and stupid prime minister in front of him, and his past majesty was once again echoed in his words.
"Prince, this is the thing. The Treaty of Nanjing was concluded between Britain and the Qing Dynasty, not with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." The British Prime Minister quickly explained, "And the envoy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also denied that his country was the successor to the Qing Dynasty."
"So......" Prince Albert's mind was still very fast. "My country can still openly maintain official exchanges with the Qing Dynasty, export arms and send military advisers to them?"
"Yes." Viscount Palmerston nodded, "Since we have no way to force the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to recognize the Treaty of Nanjing, and we need them too, then...::::. It is also not to regard the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as the successor to the Qing Dynasty.
An acceptable plan."
"No, this plan is very good!" Prince Albert said excitedly, "We can cooperate with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom while actively assisting the Qing Kingdom!" A sneer appeared on his pale face, "Maybe we can make the Qing Kingdom and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom long-term
Confrontation between the north and the south!”
This prince is truly the husband of the Queen of England. Even though Luo Yaoguo predicted his death, he has not forgotten to mess with him... He wants to mess with him even if he dies!
Viscount Palmerston bowed slightly: "This is also the best solution to the China problem that the cabinet meeting believes is."
The heavy rain in April 1855 slapped the stone road in Vienna, and a shabby carriage galloped at midnight. Wu Chongyao was wearing his own enamel cigarette box and lit pipe in his mouth, and sat in a leaky carriage. The Holy See Ambassador Vialai-
Bishop Prera's silver cross kept hitting the car windows with the bumps. He did not wear a gorgeous robe, but a shabby monk's robe, holding a yellowed Bible in his hand.
"You are in France, the mission in the UK is quite smooth, right?" the bishop suddenly whispered in English.
"Of course, everything goes well!" Wu Chongyao opened the curtains and looked out. There were no pedestrians on the streets of Vienna in the heavy rain, and there seemed to be no other carriages running. This was a good day for secret talks.
"I heard that the French established the Napoleon I Magic Academy, and the British established the Magic Committee. They all planned to send people to China to explore the mystery of magic...:::. There is no magic, right?" the ambassador of the Holy See asked again.
"Magic is of course real!" Wu Chongyao grinned, "Other could anyone predict the death of the Tsar a few months in advance? How could the British and French suddenly become extremely interested in the issue of magic? As for the Russians.
.....\nTen million gold rubles! Hahaha!"
Amid Wu Chongyao's laughter, the coachman suddenly tightened the reins, and the two crossbows pulling the cart exhaled a burst of white air.
After a few more neighing, he finally stopped in the rain. Wu Chongyao pushed open the car door and stepped on the accumulated water and got out of the carriage. A small church that was almost decayed even the statue of Jesus on the cross appeared before him.
"Here, it's here." Bishop Viale Prera ​​held up an umbrella, "Let's go, don't let the Russian ambassador wait for a long time, he came with ten million gold rubles.
As he said that, he and Wu Chongyao walked towards the church gate.
Only three candles were lit in the church, and mold was covered with mold on the wet and cold stone walls. Ambassador Gorchakov stood in front of the broken statue of the Virgin Mary, holding an umbrella in his hand, and the Russian female grandfather in black robe sat down.
On the bench, there was a heavy briefcase in his hand.
"You are finally here!" Ambassador Gorchakov heard the sound of "Oh my God" pushing the door, and immediately turned around, looked at the two visitors who were wet by the rain, and confirmed that there was no third person behind them.
Outside, he waved to them, "Come here!"
Seeing the two of them walking quickly, the Russian ambassador bowed slightly to the female grandfather sitting beside him: "Natalia, the envoy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has arrived."
The female grandfather stood up. Her figure was very tall. Her black cloak covered her proud figure. Only her beautiful face looked particularly eye-catching in the candlelight.
"She is...::.:" Wu Chongyao looked at the woman in front of him and asked in English.
"I am Natalia Mikhailovna Romanova." Natalia introduced herself in English.
"Romanova...\n." Wu Chongyao already understood the other party's origin, "So...\n. Did the golden ruble bring it?"
Natalia raised the briefcase in her hand: "The 20 million rubles have been deposited in the Vienna Bank under a pseudonym, and the withdrawal certificate is here...\n. The Vienna Bank only recognizes these certificates!"
"Very good!" Wu Chongyao nodded, pulled out an envelope and handed it to Gorchakov.
The Russian ambassador took the envelope, quickly opened it, took out the letter paper with English characters, looked at it in the dim candlelight, and whispered: "The landing battle of the Kerch Peninsula, in May 1855, the number of coalition troops exceeded two.
Ten thousand."
"How is this? This prophecy is worth ten million gold rubles, right?" Wu Chongyao smiled and stretched out his right hand, wanting to take over the official bag from Natalia.
But Natalia stood there motionless.
"Natalia, give him the briefcase!" The Russian ambassador carefully collected information worth ten million gold rubles. Seeing that Natalia had not handed out the briefcase, she quickly urged her.
The information Wu Chongyao gave is worth far more than ten million gold rubles!
If the Russian army can set up an ambush in advance on the Kerch Peninsula and fight a successful ambush, severely damaging the landing forces of the coalition forces, then the Russian army can not only maintain the logistics line of the Sevastopol Fortress, but also have a high probability of delaying the war.
By 1856.
By 1856, the Russian army had a high probability of winning the Caucasus battlefield and even attacking the Anatolian Plateau! The Turkish Empire would face the crisis of disintegration. Under such circumstances, Russia could end the war with a decent possibility.
Sex will increase greatly.
More importantly, Wu Chongyao’s “information line” cannot be broken!
Natalia did not hand the briefcase to Wu Chongyao, but walked to the latter, with a very firm tone: "Mr. Special Envoy, please arrange for me to go to China. I want to meet Prince Luo Yaoguo!"
"What?" Wu Chongyao was stunned. He looked at the beautiful Russian female grandfather and didn't know what to say. Natalia saw Wu Chongyao in a daze, bit her teeth again, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Special Envoy, I am actually
The special envoy of Tsar Alexander II...:::.Now, there is a Tartar dynasty between the Russian Empire and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! Don’t he want to join forces with us to attack that Tartar dynasty?"
It seems a bit interesting!
Wu Chongyao looked at this female grandfather. Her beauty was no less than Maria, and her temperament was completely different. Maria was like a loyal servant of Luo Yaoguo, and she had a religious piety towards Luo Yaoguo. And this Russian female grandfather
There was a kind of compelling spirit, and it looked like a queen of the Romanov family.
"Okay, since you are the special envoy of His Majesty the Tsar..." Wu Chongyao glanced at Gorchakov, and saw that the latter had no objection, so he focused on it, "Then, I will arrange for you to go to China
Bar!"
"Thank you." Natalia handed the briefcase in her hand to Wu Chongyao, and her lips curled up, showing a charming smile, "I wish our two countries can become allies who rely on each other!"
"But...\n...\n." Gorchakov suddenly realized at this time and wanted to stop it.
Chapter completed!
