Zhu Yourong asked Shi Shigege about when he wanted to use the boat, and whether he planned to go to Europe to collect the property in person, or send someone to go there.
Fourteen Gege hesitated for a moment. She had previously thought about how to go to Europe to collect property. Logically speaking, such a huge amount of property, including bills, gold, jewelry and other works of art, would at least have several large boxes. If so,
If I were to find a ship on my own, I'm afraid it would be impossible if I didn't go with him. But even the fastest ship to Europe would take more than half a month. The Ming and Qing wars here, as well as the People's Guard, wouldn't allow me to leave for such a long time.
time.
Now that Zhu Yourong is willing to help, the reliability will be much greater. All you need to do is choose a reliable person as your representative.
Therefore, Fourteen giggled and said:
"Your Majesty, there is a war going on right now, and the work of the security team is very heavy. If Liaoyang wants to go there in person, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave. All we need to do is choose a reliable person, and Liaoyang will hand over the password and key to this person and let him fully represent Liaoyang.
That’s it.”
"Oh," Zhu Yourong didn't want Shi Shi Ge Ge to leave for a long time. What Shi Shi Ge Ge said was exactly what she wanted. She asked with a smile, "Does Sister have anyone she can trust?"
Fourteen Gege has already gone through the suitable candidate in his mind, and now he has a good idea. This person has a good relationship with him, has a high status, can be controlled, and will never take any idea of his own property.
Fourteen Gege said with a smile:
"Well... Your Majesty, this person has a very close relationship with you. It depends on whether Your Majesty is willing to let him go to sea for a month."
Zhu Yourong was startled, his face turned slightly red, and his chest jumped slightly: Could it be...she wants Tingzhi to go to Europe?
Seeing Zhu Yourong's expression, Shi Shigege was also stunned, and immediately understood that she had mistakenly thought it was Xiang Xiaoqiang. But she pretended not to see the blush on Zhu Yourong's face, and said half-jokingly with a smile:
"Liaoyang wants to borrow Princess Leping, will your Majesty be willing to do so?"
Zhu Yourong laughed dumbly. It turned out that he was talking about "Cong Cong".
When Shi Shigege mentioned Zheng Yucong, Zhu Yourong immediately understood her considerations. As the princess of the Ming Dynasty, Congcong was of noble status, smart and astute, and had a good relationship with Princess Liaoyang, so she could trust her. Moreover, Congcong did not have any official position, so he could leave easily.
Kai. What Princess Liaoyang said is true. There is no more suitable candidate for this matter than Cong Cong.
However... her best cousin has been out at sea for such a long time... Zhu Yourong is really reluctant to let go. She lowered her head slightly, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Sister's consideration is very thorough... However, this matter requires Cong Cong's own consent. Well... then... should my sister tell Cong Cong herself about this matter, or should I tell Cong Cong?"
Seeing that she agreed, Shi Shigege was also very happy and said with a smile:
"Without trouble, Your Majesty, Liaoyang can talk to Princess Leping himself."
…
After coming out of the fortress, the Fourteenth Princess drove to the Yanping Palace to find Zheng Yucong. It was rare for the Fourteenth Princess to visit, and Zheng Gongyin was also very enthusiastic and left her to have lunch in the mansion. Zheng Yucong and the Fourteenth Princess had always had a good relationship, especially last time, the Fourteenth Princess
The fact that Gege and Xiang Xiaoqiang pooled money together to redeem Yuhuacong's shares for Zheng Yucong made Zheng Yucong deeply grateful to Shi Shi Ge Ge. Among Xiang Xiaoqiang's other four women, the only one Shi Shi Ge Ge regarded as his own was
Zheng Yuqing.
Of course, Qiu Qiu is a good person. She has no bad intentions towards anyone, and Shi Shigege doesn’t hate her. But her relationship with Xiu Xiu is too close. Basically, if Qiu Qiu knows about anything, it means Xiu Xiu knows about it.
.And Xiu Xiu and Shi Shi Ge Ge dislike each other.
At lunch, Shi Shigege told Zheng Yucong about this and wanted to ask her to take a trip to Europe for him. Zheng Yucong could not contain his excitement after hearing this. Since he came back from the last negotiation in Beiqing, he had been suffocated for such a long time.
Yes, I have long wanted to go out for a walk. Switzerland is so fun.
, I haven’t been there yet, so I’d like to take this opportunity to have fun for a few days, and take a look at what good things are in Princess Liaoyang’s treasures. - Besides, Fourteen Princesses helped me so much last time, and I haven’t done so yet.
She even fell in love with him. Zheng Yucong didn't even look at her father, so she agreed.
Shi Shigege looked at Zheng Gongyin, fearing that he would not be able to leave his beloved daughter and travel far away. She felt a little regretful, so she smiled vaguely and said that after getting the property back, she planned to invest part of it in Zheng's consortium.
Zheng Gongyin had actually kept a straight face, just waiting for Shi Shigege to say this. As soon as he heard this, he immediately beamed and raised his glass in toast.
Just at this time, Zhu Yourong called and asked his uncle to arrange a ship for Princess Liaoyang to go to Europe.
His Majesty said hello, and since it was his daughter who was going by boat, Zheng Gongyin immediately called his yacht manager to select a yacht.
When the yacht management officer came with the yacht roster, Fourteen Gege's eyes were really opened. Zheng Gongyin was indeed the richest man in the Ming Empire. He had twenty private yachts alone, including eight large and medium-sized yachts that could go to the ocean.
.The ship numbers were named after the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai":
Such as the number, Yuanyuan number, Xiangjun number, Xiaowan number, Baimen number, Yujing number, Hengbo number, Xianglan number.
These eight yachts vary in size, with the smallest being 3,000 tons and the largest being 8,000 tons. They are all heavy oil high-speed boilers, and their maximum speeds are over 27 knots.
In the opinion of Shi Shigege, this fully reflects the characteristics of Ming Dynasty as a maritime country. The wealth of the rich is largely reflected in seaplanes and private ocean yachts. In Beiqing, no matter how rich people are, they are just
Purchase land, minerals, and luxury houses, but the ocean is closed. I have never heard of any wealthy official in the Northern Qing Dynasty owning an ocean yacht.
The yacht management officer recommended a boat that is currently in the best condition, the Hengbo. It has a displacement of 4,305 tons, a top speed of 28 knots, and can carry up to 35 guests, 125 sailors and service personnel. Remove 50 unnecessary service personnel, and it can still be used
Plus a company of guards.
The only dangerous route along the way is around Malacca. However, it has been almost a year since Sumatra was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the pirates have already been suppressed to a great extent. Not only have the pirate villages along the coast of Sumatra been wiped out, but every pirate village has been wiped out.
Every time a large ship passed by, a patrol boat escorted it until it completely passed through the entire Malacca area.
Zhu Yourong gave Shi Shigege a hand edict, allowing her to choose any guards from the People's Guard to accompany her. After all, this was Shirteen Gege's private matter, and the People's Guard was an army and a public weapon of the state. Without Zhu Yourong's authorization, it would have been
You really can't adjust it casually.
The date and route were chosen while talking and laughing. Three days later, on the 7th, Zheng Yucong set off on the Hengbo, from the South Pacific to the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal and into the Mediterranean. Then he docked directly in Marseille and took the train to Zurich. Along the way, there were only
Passing through France and Switzerland.
This matter is completely unofficial. Zheng Yucong is the princess, so she can only keep a low profile throughout the process. In China, the emperor's daughter is called a princess, and the king's daughter can only be called a princess. But Westerners don't distinguish between princesses and princesses. The emperor,
The daughters of kings and princes are called princesses, both of which have the same word. The Ming Dynasty's "
"Princess" went to Europe. Although she only went to Switzerland to handle banking matters in a private capacity, it was still eye-catching. Fortunately, this trip did not have to pass through countries such as Germany and Italy, so as not to make a fuss about Hitler or Mussolini.
Opportunity. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was destroying the Qing Dynasty, and the international image was extremely important.
…
At six o'clock in the evening, Shi Shigege sent a message to Asakura Sako, asking her to go to the Jingyuezhai Restaurant in Qinhuai District at seven o'clock to go to the "Wanshuang Pavilion" ordered by Miss Lin.
Miss Lin is Xiao Lin Wuyu. After Xiao Wu followed Shi Shi Ge Ge to Ming Dynasty, he has been studying Chinese hard. It turned out that there were good years in Beiqing, and Xiao Wu never learned Chinese well. That was Shi Shi Ge Ge's intention.
Of.
In Beiqing, Shi Shi was so powerful that he was surrounded by many confidants, so he deliberately prevented Xiao Wu from learning Chinese, so that she could only communicate with him and become a "confidant within a confidant." But now in the Ming Dynasty, Shi Shi
Princess suddenly became a loner, and the only one she could truly call her "confidant" was Xiaowu. She could only let her study Chinese hard so that she could do things for herself. Now, after one year, Xiaowu can speak Chinese very well.
Jingyue Zhai is the most low-key high-end restaurant in Qinhuai District, and "Wanshuang Pavilion" is the most secretive private room in the restaurant. Xiao Wu was sent there in the afternoon and booked this private room in advance. He checked it first to make sure there was no
What kind of eavesdropping and recording equipment, and then waited inside all afternoon.
At 6:40, Asakura Sako came first. Asakura Sako had met Kobayashi Satsuki in Japan, and knew that this little girl was a "hardcore horse boy" in the 14th century, so he followed her in Japan.
The two were considered acquaintances, and they sat together drinking tea, holding hands and chatting affectionately. However, although Xiaowu was nearly ten years younger than Asakura, he was not stupid. He just talked about some past events in Japan, and Asakura tried to make excuses several times.
Xiaowu all avoided it.
At seven o'clock, Fourteen Gege also came.
Tonight, Shi Shigege nominally invites old classmates back, but in fact, she invites people from Japan to an environment under her control, so that she is willing to speak freely to the other party, and truly speak her mind and speak her mind to you.
From Fourteen Gege's point of view, Asakura Sako has experienced herself over the years and is no longer the good girl in her high school class. Kenji Doihara is not here tonight, but Asakura Sako is like the legend of Doihara.
The microphone completely conveyed the Japanese meaning to the fourteenth grid.
According to Asakura, this is just an intention now and there is no specific plan. The Soviet Union does not know yet. Moreover, the Japanese side is very worried that Nan Ming may reject this plan. Because for a long time, Nan Ming has been making high-profile claims that the Qing occupation
All the territory of Ming Dynasty is the legal territory of Ming Dynasty. Now, it suddenly has to compete with other
I am afraid that the top people in Nanjing will not be able to accept the idea of the two countries dividing these "Ming territories". Now it is necessary for the Fourteenth Gege to persuade the Xiang Xiaoqiang Group, and then Xiang Xiaoqiang Group will exert its influence in the headquarters and form a unity among the top military officials of Nanjing.
opinions, and then influence the Queen and the Cabinet. In this way, the chances of success will be much greater.
And as long as Shishi Gege plays an active role in promoting this matter, Japan will support her as the empress of the Northeast Qing Dynasty.
Fourteen Gege pondered for a while, glanced at Asakura, and said with a smile:
"Did this audacious 'plan' come from the Cabinet Council or the staff of the Military Command?"
Asakura was stunned, speechless for a long time, and hesitated:
"This... this is just a preliminary intention. It has not yet been reported to His Majesty the Emperor..."
Fourteen giggled and said:
"I'm afraid even the cabinet government doesn't know about it, right?"
Asakura smiled helplessly and nodded:
"This matter is extremely secretive and it is really not suitable for too many people to know about it."
Fourteen Gege smiled slightly and thought that it was indeed true. After talking for a long time, the so-called "Japanese side" was actually the "Japanese military headquarters side". In the final analysis, it was the group of staff officers. The emperor didn't know, the cabinet didn't know, even the Minister of Army and Navy
I don’t know. In the past two years, Japan’s military has become more and more powerful. After February 26, it was completely a country within a country. It was not like this when I left.
Fourteen Gege leaned against the back of the chair, squinting her eyes and concentrating. Asakura Sako carefully accompanied her and did not dare to disturb her.
After a while, Fourteen Gege opened her eyes and said:
"Okay. I'll go talk to Xiang Xiaoqiang and the others. Then let Xiang Xiaoqiang talk to Zhu Yourong. But... Japan must let the cabinet know. This matter must be a cooperation between the Ming Empire and the Japanese Empire, not between the Ming Empire and the Japanese Empire.
Cooperate with the Japanese Military Command. I don’t want a group of staff officers to be planning from the beginning to the end. Do you understand?”
Asakura Sako hesitated and nodded.
Shi Shigege looked at her and said:
"Also... Regarding making me the Empress of the Northeast Qing Dynasty, I also hope to get a commitment from the highest level in Japan. It is best to get a direct commitment from His Majesty the Emperor."
Asakura Sako was shocked:
"Your Majesty the Emperor? This... I'm afraid... Your Highness, Minister of Military Order, can you do this?"
Fourteen frowned:
"No! You have to understand clearly that this is asking a princess to succeed the queen of a country. It is the most important thing between countries. Who is the Minister of Military Order? Can he speak on behalf of the entire country?"
"Then... can Prime Minister?"
"No!" Fourteen Gege grimaced again, "I don't know how many days he can live or whether he will be killed again."
Asakura Sako looked at her with a bitter face and was about to cry.
Seeing her like this, Shi Shigege changed her face to a smile, patted her head, and said lovingly:
"Okay, my Miss Sako...Okay, okay, it's settled..."
