"Oh, my Queen, you are so thoughtful. You just took these girls and walked around the street. Now you are a rich man and the queen of the entire Northern Alliance." Zhang Deshuai scolded.
Several female guards in the palace immediately glared at Zhang Deshuai.
In other words, Zhang Deshuai was a frequent visitor to the Queen. If he had been anyone else, he would have been hacked to death by these female guards.
Speaking of which, there are only a few people who dare to talk to the great Queen Bai like this.
None of the ministers in the palace were submissive when they saw the decisive queen.
"Mr. Zhang, I was indeed careless. If I knew who did it, I would definitely kill him and wipe out the nine tribes."
The great Queen Bai took a few maids and ran to the street to pay a private visit incognito.
But with her proud figure and unique temperament, even if she is covered with a veil, anyone who cares can easily recognize her.
Just now, a man who looked like a civilian secretly threw a grenade at her.
Fortunately, a female guard had quick eyesight and kicked the grenade away.
However, the grenade fell into a crowd of civilians, killing and injuring several poor people.
This incident made Her Majesty the Queen furious.
But the murderer committed suicide by taking poison before he was caught.
"Your Majesty, what's the point of finding out who the murderer is at this time? You still don't know who your enemy is?"
"It's nothing more than the British or those feudal states." Zhang Deshuai said.
"Principal states? Do you mean those princely states that surrendered to the British?" the queen asked.
"No, no, no, Her Majesty the Queen, you obviously don't understand your situation yet. I am referring to the princely states in your alliance."
"How dare they do this?" Although Queen Bai is a young woman, she is no stranger to the dirty politics.
But now I was very surprised to hear Zhang Deshuai say this.
During this period, although the war has ceased, the threat from the Great Empire still exists.
Punjab, Peshawar, and the central states in the southern part of the Malwa Plateau in the west are still under the control of the Great Empire.
In addition to their temporary allies in the east and north, the Northern Alliance still faces huge threats.
At this time, everyone is just a grasshopper on a rope, how could anyone attack him?
Bayi felt that as the leader of the alliance, he was doing well.
At least he led everyone to a series of victories.
Each of the kingdoms that followed them was allocated a large amount of land.
"Your Majesty, not everyone is smart, there are always a few idiots among a group of people." Zhang Deshuai stopped at this point.
Queen Bayi understood.
"You all go down first. Darcy, you stay outside the door," Bai said.
All the guards and maids were ordered to go out.
Zhang Deshuai and the Queen were the only two people left in the huge room.
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
Zhang Deshuai moved closer to the queen.
He leaned forward and whispered into the queen's ear.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't let you get hurt. I will help you get rid of that fool who wants to deal with you later. You'd better not do this yourself. You are the leader of the entire alliance.
Maintain the unity of the alliance."
The wind blown by Zhang Deshuai when he spoke hit the queen's plump cheeks, causing them to feel numb.
"Mr. Zhang, please stay a little further away. My hearing is very good, and you are getting closer like this." The eyelashes on Bayi's big eyes fluttered.
"Your Majesty the Queen, don't you still know my thoughts?" Zhang Deshuai said with a smile.
With his status, he can have as many women as he wants here in India.
But he only has a soft spot for this little widow. Zhang Deshuai is a concubine.
When I first accepted the mission to support Bayi.
Bayi was still a little woman who lost her husband and was bullied by her husband's family.
In a few years, she became the all-powerful queen.
In addition to Zhang Deshuai's contribution, Queen Bayi's own ability and efforts are also attributable to this.
"Mr. Zhang, I still like the way you look when you talk about business." Bayi said a little shyly.
"I just want to talk to you about business now."
"You have to find something to do for the people below you, especially those princes, otherwise those stupid princes will jump out and cause trouble for you. You have to remember that the Great Empire has not been driven away yet.
Previously, the Northern Alliance could not be disbanded."
"Mr. Zhang, do you mean we should continue the war?" Bayi was a little confused.
However, she knew that Zhang Deshuai would not joke with her on this matter.
"Queen, I know you are worried about the plague. I came here to tell you good news. We in China have developed a drug that can suppress this plague."
"What? Is this true? Mr. Zhang." Bayi grabbed Zhang Deshuai's arm out of excitement.
This news was too unexpected for her.
It has never been known in India that anyone could create a medicine to treat the plague.
In their view, the plague is a kind of god. They can only leave after this evil god is satisfied with its wreaking havoc.
As Zhang Deshuai said, creating a medicine to suppress the plague is equivalent to defeating God.
God is invincible.
Zhang Deshuai put his hand on the queen's shoulder.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you know that I am very serious when talking about serious matters and I will not say anything casually."
"I believe your mouth is serious, but can you remove your hands from my shoulders first?" Bayi glanced at him.
"Where shall we fight this time?" the Queen asked next.
"Develop in the direction of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. These two states are plateau areas, which are conducive to the performance of the cavalry in Jhansi." Zhang Deshuai said.
The most powerful ones under Bhai were the Jhansi cavalry.
In the past two years, Bayi used the resources at his disposal to equip the cavalry with lances, and also allocated land to each official cavalry.
Let them become small military nobles.
This makes this cavalry absolutely loyal to Her Majesty the Queen.
This was completely controlled by Bayi himself. Even Zhang Deshuai, an intelligence chief who is good at playing tricks, admired this method of winning over people's hearts.
It's just that the number of this cavalry is limited, only three thousand people.
"How much medicine can you provide?" Bayi suddenly thought of the key point.
"I can only provide you with medicine for your military expedition. And this medicine is not cheap."
"I know this medicine is very expensive. Money is not a problem. I want more quantity. Many people in our Northern Alliance die from the epidemic every day. I want to save those children and young adults." Putting aside her talents and strategies, this
Queen Bai is also a kind-hearted woman.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible. Now the plague has spread widely, and the Holy Army and Myanmar also need medicine. And our output is fixed, even if we want to increase production, it will take time." Zhang Deshuai could only express his helplessness.
.
"Mr. Zhang, you will help me, right?" Unreasonable, Bayi could only show his charm in front of Zhang Deshuai.
I saw her eyes moving slightly, secretly making eyes look at her. Her whole temperament completely changed, from a royal sister to a cute girl in an instant.
Zhang Deshuai felt like his skin was getting goosebumps.
"Your Majesty the Queen, I mean business when I say business. I have principles for everyone!"
"Oh, don't look at me like that anymore." Zhang Deshuai almost ran away in confusion.
"Hehe, okay, I'll pay 1.5 times the price. I believe this price is enough for your factory to work overtime for this." Seeing Zhang Deshuai's embarrassed look, the Queen chuckled.
If outsiders were here, they would definitely think that these two people were having an affair.
In fact, the two of them were really talking about business.
"Okay, deal is done, I'll use my personal connections again."
"Now the workers in those factories are getting more and more over-the-top. They even set up unions and won't work overtime without getting paid more."
"Oh, a few years ago, everyone didn't have enough to eat. Now that they have enough to eat, they still have to live in a big house and send their children to school."
People’s hearts are not old, people’s hearts are not enough!
Zhang Deshuai rarely returns to China, but he also knows some things about the country.
He didn't understand why the president acquiesced in allowing those people to make trouble.
Why weren't they suppressed earlier?
Most of the workers in the factory were refugees. What kind of life did they live in the past few years?
Now that I am better and my life is better, I am no longer satisfied, jumping out all day long to ask for this right or that right.
Of course, Zhang Deshuai is an intelligence officer and he can't control those bad things.
This time Zhang Deshuai's mission is to restart the war in the Indian battlefield.
It happened that the medical team of the Renaissance Army had done a lot of experiments in the Holy Army and Myanmar and discovered a Chinese patent medicine that could effectively alleviate the symptoms of the plague.
The medicinal materials required for this kind of proprietary Chinese medicine are actually not that expensive.
However, the prescription has been bought out by a factory behind the scenes, and a patent has been registered in China.
After returning here again, it turned into a finished pill, and its value increased hundreds of times.
In this way, the three countries still have to divide a certain share, and everyone wants more drugs.
No matter how expensive this medicine is, it is cheaper than human life.
As for the British in the British-Indian colonies, they couldn't even buy it even if they wanted to.
The colony could only find some merchants in Shanghai to smuggle a little bit, but the price would be even higher.
This plague successfully stimulated the development of the Renaissance Army's pharmaceutical industry.
Everyone is more motivated to develop new drugs.
Some professional doctors who are good at pharmaceuticals are also hired by various pharmaceutical companies at high prices.
This in turn stimulates the development of the pharmacist profession in disguised form.
The availability of medicine means that there is no need to fear that the army will be depleted due to the plague.
The war can finally begin again.
Why does Dong Shuheng insist on restarting the war between the British and Indian colonies now?
Because it is now the fourth year of the Restoration. In 1859, the Great Empire entered an election year.
If the Great Empire were defeated in India now, then the hawkish Temple might be the first to step down.
Dong Shuheng hoped that the Great Empire would be replaced by a cabinet that adhered to the policy of appeasement.
It’s so fucking uncomfortable to be on guard against each other all the time now.
Moreover, the current cabinet of the Great Empire is too strong.
Dong Shuheng has always wanted to enter the Indian Ocean and penetrate his power into the Persian Gulf and Africa.
However, the Great Empire has been strictly guarding against the Renaissance Army in the Indian Ocean.
Not to mention warships, even the merchant ships of the Renaissance Army will be subject to unwarranted inspections at ports controlled by the Great Empire.
Without a full-scale decisive battle with the Imperial Navy.
Dong Shuheng could only hope to replace this term's cabinet.
Then it is appropriate to make a fuss about the Indian region.
There is another reason, that is, the Renaissance Army will increase investment in manpower and material resources in North America this year.
The president of the United States will also change next year. A familiar name evoked Dong Shuheng's memory of history.
Abraham Lincoln. The name that appeared in middle school history textbooks, and the war that he triggered that changed the fate of America, have always been fresh in Dong Shuheng's memory.
It can be said that America as we know it now was born from Lincoln.
The United States created by Washington was just a loose alliance that temporarily held together for warmth.
It was the unfair oppression of the colonies by the Great Empire that brought them together.
These states don't know what unity means now, and everyone does things according to their own interests and needs.
The land in the north is barren and industrialization is needed, while the land in the south is fertile and slave plantations are needed.
Now they all want the Midwest to implement their own system.
So there was this Kansas War.
The Kansas War was not officially recognized, and no state openly expressed participation in the war.
It can only be regarded as a large-scale private fight.
But the next war will completely sink the entire United States.
The troops mobilized by both sides reached more than three million, and the number of casualties reached seven to eight million.
In such a battle, Dong Shuheng would definitely participate.
Yangtze Security, which has been in the Kansas area now, is just playing a front-line role.
At the same time, it was also to allow Chinese soldiers to adapt to the American combat environment through the Kansas War.
At the same time, the invasion of Mexico by Britain, France and Australia also broke out.
If by then the Canadian province of the Great Empire could be brought in.
So it's definitely another world war.
To participate in this war, it is far from enough to rely solely on the Chinese in California and the armed forces of the Yangtze River Security.
California's Yangtze River Security Department now has about 50,000 standing troops. With full mobilization, the Chinese can organize a militia of 300,000 people.
This is far from enough!
To this end, Dong Shuheng formulated a very huge plan.
For this plan, he transferred a large amount of funds from the companies controlled by his family, totaling tens of millions of dollars.
A large amount of the money was placed on orders from various shipyards.
He wants to promote a large-scale development movement in California. This includes the construction of three important railways to connect the West Coast with some strategic locations in the central region.
Construction of these three railways will start at the same time in order to ensure labor force.
Dong Shuheng asked Qi Bin to mobilize 500,000 workers in Fusang. At the same time, the two vassal states on the Korean Peninsula will also mobilize 500,000 workers.
Of these one million road construction workers, the last remaining ones will stay in the local area.
At the same time, Dong Shuheng will also dispatch another million people from China to western Mili.
The migration of two million people would require a massive number of ships alone.
The maritime power that the Renaissance Army has deployed in recent years may all be used here.
Even the southward plan that West Pacific Company is actually carrying out will be delayed for a while.
It's not just the north side.
Donghua Kingdom is also in urgent need of replenishing its population.
This brought a big problem to Dong Shuheng.
In order to fill up the number of people, Dong Shuheng not only used public opinion means to promote among young people.
In newspaper descriptions, California and Donghua became the land of gold and silver.
In the past, young people did not do it for money, but instead became a great act of opening up territories for future generations.
Mental stimulation alone is not enough.
We also need to come up with some tangible benefits.
Land and settlement fees are all initial costs that need to be invested.
