Santo Domingo, the capital of Dominica, is a coastal city. Like Batavia, it is close to a gentle bay, and the entire city forms an arc. The coastline here is gentle and there is a long coastal road. To the south of the road
, is the endless Caribbean Sea. Along the long beach, there are palm trees, sandy beaches, private marinas, hotels, restaurants, bars, and luxury villas. The entire city, no, the entire Dominican elite is concentrated
lived on this coastline.
Every night, on the charming Caribbean beach, countless handsome men and beautiful women walk quietly on the snow-white sand, bathe in the cool sea breeze, listen to the nearby waves, stroll leisurely, and occasionally whisper. In addition,
From the bar in the distance came the tango and rumba melody played by guitars, the impromptu singing of male and female drinkers, and the tapping of tango steps... It was like a paradise, making people completely forget about the lightning and thunder in Europe and Asia.
There is an inconspicuous villa, almost completely hidden among the lush palm trees. Although inconspicuous, this villa is very large, with iron railings all the way around the territory, and lush plants are planted around the iron railings.
, completely blocking people's realization. Dozens of burly men wearing shorts and floral shirts, wearing sunglasses and pistols on their waists, loomed among the palms.
In the swimming pool in the backyard, Guangwu and Yonggui were soaking in the water, drinking ice-cold drinks, and discussing something.
"Your Majesty..." Yonggui said in a low voice, "In my humble opinion, we might as well find an opportunity to defect to the Soviet Union before Trujillo starts to be wary of us... You were afraid that the Soviets would swallow up your property before, but now
Fortunately, it was not swallowed up by the Soviets, but was swallowed up by Nanming, and even Prince Shun fell into the hands of the enemy... Then what do you think you have to fear..."
Guangwu glanced at Yonggui, said nothing, and just sighed.
Now that he has escaped and is living under the protection of others, he no longer has the unlimited power he had when he was the emperor in the country. Even Yonggui sometimes talks to him less respectfully and his tone is much more straightforward. But he also knows that he can't care about this anymore. Right now
With no power, no money, and no soldiers, all that is left is a "Qing exile"
He has the title of "Emperor". And he also has a family: a queen, a royal concubine, a younger brother, and a son. Now all his property is only the hundreds of thousands of dollars he carries with him. Just like that, the queen
We went to jewelry shops several times with the imperial concubine and ordered several sets of fashions...
At this point, it's already pretty good that there are still people following him. Now Yonggui is Guangwu's only right-hand man. Apart from wining over, he can only win over.
"Yonggui," Guangwu asked deliberately, "you always suggested that I defect to the Soviet Union. Anyway, we have no money now, so is there any difference between the Soviet Union and here? At least here now, we are treated well by others. Over in the Soviet Union
How it will happen is still unknown. The Soviet Union claimed to 'eliminate the exploiting class', but they even killed their own czar, how could they accept a foreign emperor?"
Yonggui blinked and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, you are deliberately testing me. In fact, you have a clear mind."
Guangwu laughed, said nothing, and stared at the water.
Yonggui smiled again and said:
"Your Majesty, this small Dominican country with few people is, to put it bluntly, a small temple. When your big Bodhisattva comes, of course he is panicked and offers it. But as the saying goes, a small temple cannot hold a big Bodhisattva. This is new.
After the excitement has passed, sooner or later Trujillo will think that you are... ha
Oh, you deserve to be damned, slave, let’s just put it bluntly... I think you are a hot potato. If your treasures are successfully transported, by the way, with so much money, you can bring Dominica to the sky. Now... you
But there is only one Emperor's hat left. What practical benefits can you get him?
"He is a small country in Trujillo with few people and no big ambitions. He just wants to hold on to his one-third of an acre of land. No matter how big your Bodhisattva is, he will not get any political benefits. He will have to sin in vain against the Ming Dynasty. Maybe
He also offended the United States. Do you think he can afford to offend the United States? If Nan Ming promised the United States any benefits and asked the United States to put pressure on the Dominican Republic...then...then maybe one day, Trujillo will really hand you over.
.
"On the contrary, Stalin is different. The Soviet Union is a big country. Whether it is in Europe, Central Asia or East Asia, it has many interests and intentions. Stalin is also a courageous person who dares to take action and dare to do it. Your Majesty, you want
If you go to the Soviet Union,
You don't need to bring a lot of wealth. Just by virtue of your status as the "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty", Stalin can get a treasure. Have you seen what happened in northern and southern Xinjiang? How long have you been gone and how much has happened there?
Big deal! The Soviet Union is definitely concerned about the northwest.
"Stalin is now trying to encourage that bandit leader named Tu to achieve independence. Why did he fail in the end? Didn't he just find a suitable candidate? He had no choice but to find a bandit leader... Stalin wanted a bandit leader to do this.
Great Bodhisattva, the bigger the better. Your Majesty, if you go to the Soviet Union, there is no need to
Worried about being trapped in Moscow all day long, like now... He will definitely support you to develop your ambitions in the northwest. By then, the entire northern Xinjiang, Mongolia, Gansu, etc., will not all be your stage? Hehe, if you really do it well
, when the time comes, we will carve out territory in the northwest for restoration and rebuild the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn’t it be better than being trapped on this small island?”
Guangwu listened and nodded silently while drinking an iced drink. He had thought about these principles himself, but he hadn't made up his mind yet. He had nothing now and could no longer afford to lose.
Besides, he was worried about another problem.
"Yonggui..." He lowered his voice and whispered, "To tell you the truth, I have also thought about this... but there is a big obstacle at the moment... Even if we want to go to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union is very tight, so what?
Escape?"
Yonggui looked around and saw that no one was looking this way, so he leaned over and whispered:
"Your Majesty... you just need to escape into the Soviet legation first..."
"Well, I know that too. The question is how to escape into the Soviet legation?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me..." Yonggui chuckled in a low voice, "Soviet agents have come to the door... I have the courage to contact them..."
"Um?!"
Guang Wu's heart skipped a beat and he stared at Yong Gui. He didn't expect that Yong Gui was so bold and dared to contact foreign intelligence personnel without telling him. He was shocked and angry for a moment.
But almost instantly, his expression softened. He knew that no matter what happened now, Yonggui, the only right-hand man, could only win over him, not reprimand him.
Guangwu was "surprised" and said:
"Really? Is what Aiqing said true? The Soviets... came to contact me? When? How did they say it?"
Yonggui laughed softly:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. They are not here to find slaves... they are the Imperial Concubine... accompanying the Queen to the clothes store... When the store came to deliver the goods, the delivery boy was probably a Soviet spy...
…He said that as long as the emperor is willing, he will order Omarosa seafood by name.
If you want oysters from the restaurant, they will send oysters... At that time, please pay attention to the largest oyster... The information is in the shell. The Soviets said, please rest assured, the emperor, there are only oysters from that restaurant in Santo Domingo.
The most famous one, if the emperor names which family he wants to send it to, they won't doubt it..."
Guangwu listened and gradually understood. He nodded, patted Yonggui on the shoulder and sighed:
"Sigh... It's true that a loyal minister is seen in need! Don't worry, Yonggui, I won't treat you badly. As long as we successfully escape to the Soviet Union, the day I make a comeback, you will be the number one contributor to the resurgence of the Qing Dynasty."
Yonggui was so happy that he plunged into the water with a Qian'er. He popped his head out with a pop, wiped his face, and said with an embarrassed smile:
"Hehe... Your Majesty, this slave has been accompanying the Emperor for so long, but I am still used to showing my loyalty to the Emperor like this... Your Majesty, forgive me..."
