Chapter 297: France Secretly Surrenders

"The Emperor, British minister Bao Ling, and French empire Boulboron came to see him."

Li Yunzhong waved his hands to Zhao Liwen and Lin Daji, signaling them to go back, and then said, "Xuan!"

"The foreign ministers and envoys met His Majesty the Emperor."

"No gift!"

Bao Ling took two steps forward and asked, "What's the matter with His Majesty the Emperor asking us both to come?"

Li Yunzhong looked at Bao Ling coldly, until Bao Ling's nose was sweating and his eyes were dodging everywhere, and then he asked, "Don't you know Crimea is still fighting?"

Bao Ling laughed dryly and said, "His Majesty the Emperor was joking. If there is no war there, what should I fight? Of course, the fight is very lively, and tens of thousands of people were killed or injured in every battle."

"Really fighting? Farting!" Li Yunzhong was completely angry. This was clearly a pitfall!

Bao Ling reacted in a blink of an eye and rushed over, cursing that he had made up everything he could, but he didn't get the news before Li Yunzhong's meeting. This must be the news from Europe. Thinking of this, Bao Ling suddenly looked at Bourbron. Could it be a conspiracy, the French conspiracy?

Burbron also looked at Bao Ling with the same eyes and shook his head together. Both countries were grasshoppers on the same rope. Discussing the big men to send troops together. Betrayaling the other party is equivalent to betraying himself.

Li Yunzhong was even more sure, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he asked coldly: "Your country's soldiers are probably already on the sea. How long will it take to arrive at the Han Dynasty?"

Bao Ling was dizzy. How did he know such a confidential news? Impossible! This is all top-secret news in Europe. How could anyone know about Asia, which is thousands of miles away?

Burbron was a bachelor, and replied stubbornly: "Since His Majesty the Emperor already knows, I will no longer hide it. Two months ago, our Allies had made peace with Russia. The Crimean War officially ended and the news will be notified a few days later."

"How many days?" Li Yunzhong refused to say anything. Sui asked: "I'm afraid it's more than that. As far as I know, Britain, France and Russia have reached a secret agreement to be detrimental to the Han Dynasty. If you are smart, please come truthfully, so as not to see God for no reason. It's useless for you to conceal it."

Bao Ling swallowed, no one who betrayed the British Empire could be let go!

"I dare to ask Your Majesty where the news came from. We don't know, how could we know? It can be seen that the person who told this news also had the intention to sow discord and wanted to start a war between us and our countries, but his intention was to be punished!"

"Yeah, I can still use idioms. I have sent troops to Nanyang. Your wishful thinking will not be heard!"

Bao Ling was shocked and questioned: "There is no right to do this! Nanyang is the sphere of influence of Europeans and has no right to send troops."

Boulbron was about to agree, but he swallowed the words back. Britain had always controlled the important transportation routes in the South China Sea and blocked the French colonial forces in Vietnam, Myanmar, and India. Now it is still eroding the French forces openly and secretly. Let the Han army teach the British colonial forces a lesson, which is beneficial or harmful to France.

Li Yunzhong looked up and pondered for a while. His tone was calm: "When the two countries officially fought, our country would send troops to take back Hong Kong. The property of all British and French people was confiscated, and their own self-reliance was restricted until the war between the two countries ended."

Bao Ling was angry. In his subconscious, the Han Dynasty was like the Qing Dynasty. When he received the news of the British Empire sending troops, he should kneel down and beg for mercy, begging the British Empire to withdraw troops. He would not threaten and dare to insult him. He seemed to have the intention of fighting with the British Empire.

"Your Majesty, Nanyang is a powder keg. The British Empire, the French Empire, the Spanish Kingdom, and the Dutch Republic all have power. Our British Empire dare not act rashly. Sending troops will probably cause chaos and become the target of public criticism. At the least, it will cause war, and at the worst, it will become the target of hatred by the four countries. Please think twice and never make the Nanyang idea."

Li Yunzhong sarcastically said: "You dare to scare me. The Spanish royal family is rich, but they have been disguised for a long time, swords and guns are put into storage, horses are put into the Nanshan Mountains, and warships are all old things, not to mention the Netherlands. The domestic chaos is in chaos. In Nanyang, only relying on the East India Company to pretend to be powerful, and they can only bully the unarmed Chinese. I am fighting the Dutch East India Company!"

Boulbron understood a lot. The reason why France agreed to send troops to the Han Dynasty was because His Majesty the Emperor heard that the Far East was ignorant and backward, and the British bewitched, so he decided to send troops. However, France's interests in China were not as good as those in Britain. Now the Han Dynasty was prepared, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers must have returned to the rescue. It is difficult to decide if it is to fight. Why did France take the British out of the fire? I have to quickly notify the country and change its policy toward China.

Bao Ling looked at Bulbron. Seeing that he was unmoved, he withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Yunzhong and tentatively said: "The Russian Empire has decided to send troops. Your Majesty must consider whether it can resist the three European powers at the same time."

Li Yunzhong was very persuading, but Britain had no intention of withdrawing troops and gradually became impatient. In the final analysis, he did not want to go to war with Britain. This would only make it cheaper for other countries, and Xiao Ri was one of them!

"You are seeking death! Since you want to beat me, you can fight with you! People come and see you off, no, put them in the heavenly prison!"

“No right to do this!”

"I have something to say!"

When Boulbron saw Li Yunzhong looking at him, he immediately repeated the call: "I have something to say!"

Bao Ling still shouted: "I don't have the right to do this!"

Li Yunzhong ordered the guards: "Take Bao Ling out."

"yes!"

Bao Ling struggled hard and shouted loudly: "I have no right to do this! I am the minister! I have no right to do this!"

Li Yunzhong asked Burbron: "What do you have to say!"

Burbron smiled and said, "I think what the Emperor said is reasonable."

"How is it reasonable?"

Bourbron said with a plea: "The Han Dynasty's national strength is different now, and its military strength is strong, and even Russia is not taken seriously. A million troops! Destroy it, the British Empire despises the Han Dynasty, and it is definitely asking for trouble. Our French Empire will never want to trek into this muddy water."

Li Yunzhong became interested and continued to ask: "What do you mean? I plan to withdraw my troops?"

Burbron said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, forgive me for your crimes. Our emperor avoids the king of the same country, and the orders issued by him will not be changed at will. Since the army has set out, there is no way."

"Hmph!" Li Yunzhong narrowed his eyes with Bulbron and said coldly: "Do you want to die? I dare to play with me!"

Burbron hurriedly said: "There can be a way to have the best of both worlds. Although our country sends troops, it does not necessarily have to go to war with your country. Our large soldiers will never enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, nor will they go to war with your country. What do you think?"

Li Yunzhong did not take into account the idea of ​​the Prussian Kingdom and laughed loudly: "This is the best way. Our army has attacked Nanyang, so you will station troops in Nanyang. If our army fights with the British, then you will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight without interfering in the battlefield. If our army does not fight with the British, then we will deal with the Netherlands together. After we succeed, we will divide the territory equally."

Bourbron clapped his hands and danced. He felt that this method was better to send troops to the Han Dynasty and was more in line with the interests of the French Empire. After the matter was completed, His Majesty Napoleon would definitely commend him, and it was not impossible to win him a noble title.

"Thank you for your guidance. This is a good idea. His Majesty Napoleon doesn't want to send troops to the great man. He is bewitched by Britain. Don't worry, I will find a way to contact the country when I go back and will definitely reply as soon as possible."

Boulbron expressed his idea that he had long wanted to make a move.

"Your Majesty, since our country has made good friends with your country, can we cooperate with Your Majesty?"

“What to cooperate with?”

"At that time, our country was willing to work with His Majesty to study military equipment, muskets, cannons, warships, etc. What should His Majesty do?"

It turned out that this idea was the one that was the one that was going to be the one that had been paying attention to the battlefield situation since the beginning of the Crimean War, and all countries had been paying attention to the battlefield situation and summarizing experience. All countries had come to similar conclusions: muskets were to be improved, and the guns had become the main force in the battlefield, and artillery was also a factor that determined the outcome of the war. All countries had paid a lot of money to study these two things, and France wanted to make a fortune!

Li Yunzhong decided to make a perfunctory decision, "Wait until the war is over, we will discuss these things, you can go down first."
Chapter completed!
