Chapter 591 Your Highness, we are sent by your sister Queen Victoria
It's late at night and it's raining.
In the Seoul Welcome Hotel, the room where Friedrich stayed was still lit with an oil lamp.
Wenxian, Sir Sutton, Consul Styren and Bai Siwen, all of them did not sleep at night, and they all ran to Friedrich's room. Each of them held a cup of coffee and stayed up late to discuss theological issues related to Moore with Friedrich - this made Friedrich speechless. Moore was a firm atheist!
These old superstitions in the East and the West are now actually because of the nonsense of a Japanese "witch" saying that Moore was a Christian saint or prophet in his previous life, and also believe that Moore's past life was very close to the Jesus family!
I don’t know if Queen Victoria will be a British nobleman who will be named after Moore when she learns this?
Thinking of this, Friedrich was a little amused.
"Gentlemen, how could Moore be the reincarnation of Christian saints and prophets? He is not even a Christian!" Friedrich originally wanted to say that Moore was an "atheist", but considering that he and Moore both received the sponsorship of Prince Albert with fake identities, he did not say "atheism".
Bai Siwen asked: "Is anyone among the Christian prophets or saints not Christians?"
"Of course there is!" said Sir Sutton, "John the Baptist is not a Christian. He is the one who baptized Christ."
Friedrich pressed his forehead and he actually forgot about John the Baptist!
"When John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan River," Sir Monxian, the Director of Oriental Mystery Affairs of the Magic Committee, held a Bible and analyzed it randomly, "I also wore camelsweat clothes and ate locust wild honey - which was exactly in line with Mr. Moore's simple lifestyle."
Sir Sutton, the British Consul in Nagasaki, had fallen into the coffee cup in shock. The splashed coffee liquid made his pants wet, but he was unaware: "Sir Wenxian, do you think Moore's previous life was John the Baptist? That's a relative of Jesus and Mary, a pioneer of Jesus! And Her Majesty the Queen is the reincarnation of Jesus' sister Mary, and John the Baptist is also the Queen's soul relative!"
This time it was upgraded! Friedrich thought to himself: "Moore has become a royal relative of the British Empire. After returning to England, the queen was not allowed to grant him a bigger title and give him an Oxfordshire manor?"
The Dutch Consul in Nagasaki Styren didn't care whether Moore was the relative of Queen Victoria. He just wanted to quickly promote a ceasefire between the Dutch East India authorities and the Archdiocese of the True Joshuai. He put down his coffee cup and interrupted: "If Moore's Prophet was really hereditary John, he could definitely persuade His Highness to mediate the conflict in the Dutch East India."
Friedrich shook his head repeatedly: "Don't you think it's ridiculous? He doesn't even believe in God."
"John the Baptist was also questioned by the Pharisees back then!" Wenxian interrupted Friedrich's words, and he suddenly recited the Gospel of Matthew in Latin. His voice trembled on a rainy night: "'The kingdom of heaven is approaching, and you should repent!"
"Click."
The thunder exploded, the oil lamp flashed a few times, and the religious atmosphere in the room became stronger. Bai Siwen took the opportunity to approach Friedrich and whisper: "It makes people think that Moore is the queen's soul relative, and for your career."
Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the corridor. Moore pushed the door and walked in. The invitation letter from the Joseon Palace in his hand was stained with rain: "Friedrich, the East King summoned us tomorrow."
Everyone cast weird eyes on Moore, except Friedrich.
And Moore also discovered the abnormality, why did everyone gather in Friedrich's room, except him?
What issues are they discussing behind their backs?
While Moore was thinking, Friedrich suddenly spoke and broke the embarrassment: "Moore, what have you discussed with that Japanese witch?"
Moore closed the door, walked into the house, threw the invitation letter from the Korean Palace that he had just received on the table, then pulled a chair and sat down, and Friedrich poured him a cup of coffee.
"Nanmoto Rice wants to know how North Korea, which is small, poor and lacks resources, will develop a strong military industry?" Moore took a sip of coffee.
Wenxian, Sir Sutton, Consul Styron and Bai Swen all thought that was impossible! But Moore could be the reincarnation of John the Baptist. Then there was nothing impossible!
"Is that possible?" Friedrich asked.
"Possible!" Moore said, "Although North Korea lacks capital, resources, technology, and geographical location, and not even enough food. But North Korea has 16 million people who are hardworking enough, cleaned up feudal forces and had a strong regime. North Korea's neighbor Japan has now become a semi-colonial between China and North Korea, and North Korea can seize huge profits of hundreds of thousands of taels of gold from Japan-West Coast trade every year. Moreover, Japan is known as the country of gold, and still has relatively rich precious metal resources. This means that North Korea's military investment has monetization channels and profits possible!"
"Moore!" Friedrich looked at his old friend in surprise, "You mean North Korea wants to obtain the capital needed for development by invading Japan?"
Moore frowned and said, "Friedrich, you have seen with your own eyes how vicious the Japanese feudal lords and their lackeys are, and also how grateful the Koreans are to the East King. In Japan, it is not too small to hope that the army sent by the True Request to liberate their lower-class people! Therefore, the North Korean king's feudal power overthrowing Japan is likely to be in line with the Japanese public opinion and can also liberate Japan's productivity to the greatest extent. As for invasion, I don't think the Westphalian system is applicable to the current East Asia."
"That's right!" Sir Wenxian nodded in agreement, "Those warriors who chop people casually are simply demons! If such a country appeared in Europe, it would have been torn apart by the storm of the Great Revolution!"
"But how will North Korea obtain the start-up capital for the development of the military industry?" Bai Siwen asked, "They don't have that much money now, right?"
Moore took a sip of coffee: "Of course not, but it's not impossible to raise it. The solution I gave was to establish the North Korean Bank and the North Korean Pacific Trade Co., Ltd., so that he could raise funds from Japan and use the money of Japanese merchants and vassal lords to develop North Korea's industry."
When Moore gave him the way to Ryuzi, Sir Sutton, Consul Styron and others, these people looked at Moore even more differently - this is not an editor of the Mercury, but clearly a minister in the British cabinet!
Sir Wenxian secretly made up his mind and when he returned to England, he would recommend this Moore to Viscount Palmerston and Prince Albert.
"Mr. Moore," asked Stillen, the Dutch Consul in Nagasaki, with an anxious look on his face, "Then do you have a way to ask the King of East to mediate the conflict between the Netherlands and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"
Moore looked at the Dutch diplomat and thought to himself: "They have 500 million people, accounting for 40% of the world's total population!"
"Sir, your goal is," Moore asked.
"Armature!" said Stillun, "all conflicts must be stopped immediately. Then Britain and North Korea will mediate in the center to achieve a fair peace through negotiations."
The newest ⊥小⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Moore just nodded slightly and thought to himself: "It seems that your Dutch are trying to buy time to send additional fleets and army from Europe to Dutch East India."
De Palace Renzheng Hall.
Daozi led Moore and others through the former Korean Palace, which seemed cramped and shabby everywhere, and walked into the not-so-large hall covered with "cross-patterned" carpet, Wen Xian's leather shoes suddenly slid down the carpet - he saw three thrones in the hall, with three "human gods" sitting on it, namely Yang Xiuqing, Hong Ren-ye and Mary, who represented the interests of Luo Yaoguo.
Maria, who sent the Ranusky spear to Luo Yaoguo, thus laying the foundation for Luo Yaoguo's "divine power", appeared in Changde Palace and was still sitting next to Yang Xiuqing. It should show that the relationship between the North Korean Heavenly Kingdom and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not as bad as Westerners imagine.
"His Highness of the Eastern King, His Highness of the Gan King, His Highness of Mary, and Jin'an." Daozi bowed to the high-ranking Yang Xiuqing, Hong Ren'er and Mary.
Moore, Wenxian, Friedrich, Sir Stiren, Sir Sutton and others who followed her bowed to the "three gods".
Yang Xiuqing glanced across everyone with his single eyes: "Give him a seat."
"Queen Victoria of the British Empire greeted the four sons of Heavenly Father." Wen Xian did not sit down, but bowed ninety degrees to Yang Xiuqing who was sitting in the middle. "Her Majesty the Queen is reincarnated as the sister of Jesus Christ, Mary, and she specially sent us to visit her soul brother."
Yang Xiuqing's entire attention was on Moore - the more he looked, the more he felt more and more friendly he felt! Suddenly, he heard Wen Xian say such words in Chinese with a Cantonese accent, and he felt a little moved for a moment.
When Hong Xiuquan made this point, he thought that the guy who called himself "Son of Heavenly Father" was fainting, but he never expected that this was true! The Queen of England is really the daughter of Heavenly Father. It seems that the matter of being the fourth son of Heavenly Father must be true!
Otherwise, why would the "Tianshi Carl" come to help him? Why did Queen Victoria send someone so far to recognize relatives?
Of course, Wen Xian didn't come empty-handed. After bowing, he took out a gift list and an envelope and handed it to Daozi: "This is a gift list of gifts given to His Majesty the Queen to His Highness, and a handwritten letter from Her Majesty the Queen."
Daozi hurriedly took the gift list and the Queen's handwritten letter and gave it to Yang Xiuqing. Yang Dongwang first picked up the gift list and opened it. He narrowed his eyes and whispered: "20 Armstrong rear-loading guns, 2,000 5-pound shells, 5,000 Enfield rifled guns, and 10 600 horsepower composite steam engines."
