Chapter 995(1/2)
Murat jumped up like a tiger and wanted to use force on Zheng Sen.
Zheng Sen looked at Murat coldly and did not move.
Murat did not dare to take action, and Napoleon would not allow him to take action. No one knew the consequences of offending the Ming Dynasty as well as Napoleon.
France has made enemies all over Europe in recent years, all thanks to the support of the Ming Dynasty. Once the Ming Dynasty is gone, those guys led by Prussia will immediately carve up France like they attacked Russia.
Compared with attacking Russia, which is located in the cold extreme north, attacking rich France is obviously more able to whet the appetite of these countries.
Sure enough, Napoleon grabbed Murat and forced him into a chair!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng. He drank too much and was a little impulsive. Regarding the profit distribution plan, we in France fully agree.
But there is only one way, we can give up our rights and interests in Bucharest and Iasi in exchange for Sevastopol."
"What happened in Crimea...!" Zheng Sen frowned.
"We only need Sevastopol, Kiev needs an outlet to the sea." Napoleon insisted.
"If this is the case, it will not be enough for France to simply take out the rights and interests of Bucharest and Iasi.
Everyone knows the importance of the port of Sevastopol. It is also difficult for us to coordinate with the Ottoman Empire."
Napoleon cursed in his heart and farted. Everyone knows that the Ottoman Empire is a dog raised by your Ming Dynasty.
When Khalifa paid homage to Li Xiao, he knelt down and bowed in the same manner as he did to his father.
"Then tell me, what conditions are required?" Napoleon wanted to hear how big Zheng Sen's appetite was.
"My conditions...! France must cede its interests in southern Kiev, including Chisinau."
"Too much!" Murat roared again.
"Then I have no choice. The Ottoman Empire also paid a heavy price for its victory." Zheng Sen spread his hands.
"Mr. Zheng, we will talk later. Anyway, it will take some time before the contract is signed. We can use this time to coordinate." Napoleon glanced at Frederick.
He was unwilling to bargain with Zheng Sen in front of the Prussians. If Zheng Sen agreed to France's request, the Prussians would definitely make other demands.
The so-called diplomacy! In fact, it means using the most polite words and saying the most shameless requests.
Soon the Paris Peace Conference became a bargaining conference, with all kinds of dirty deals going on behind closed doors.
There are a large number of banquets, dances, and receptions held every day. As the representative of the Ming Dynasty who presided over the Paris Peace Conference, Zheng Sen's daily schedule is full.
Either I attend this banquet or that dance. Sometimes, I have to go to three places a day.
This life is like a feast of wine and meat.
The days of eating and drinking passed quickly, and the weather turned cold in the blink of an eye. The autumn wind in November was already very cold, and the cold sea breeze blew on the sea in Southampton.
At this moment, the Atlantic Ocean is as quiet as a virgin, and a huge ship like a mountain is moored on the noisy pier.
Groups of businessmen, wealthy officials, and dignitaries lined up, waiting to board this giant ship.
The ship was jointly built by the Harland and Wolff shipyards and took three years to build.
After sea trials, this is the first voyage. The departure port is Southampton and the destination is New York.
The facilities on the ship were extremely luxurious, and even Elizabeth, who was well-informed, had a real feast when she entered the banquet hall for the first time.
An oriental-faced man stood on the deck, looking at the people queuing up to board the ship below. He felt infinite emotion in his heart that he was about to leave Europe and go to America to seek life.
It seems that he has been on the run since his father died. Now that he has escaped to America, he may be far enough away from the Ming Dynasty.
Next to him, stood a blonde beauty. Her towering breasts and charming figure made all the men passing by turn their heads and look at her.
"Dorgon, you said that if we hid in the North American territory, we would not be pursued by the Ming Dynasty anymore, right?" Elizabeth was a little cold from the sea breeze, so she only wrapped herself in a cashmere coat.
The golden hair spreads with the sea breeze, and the sun shines on it, reflecting a faint yellow light.
This intoxicating demeanor stunned many men on the boat.
"No! I heard people say that the place we live in is a sphere. New York is just north of Ming Dynasty!
Li Xiao couldn't see his own back even if his hands and eyes were all over the sky.
I have been on the run since my father's death. I don't want to run away again, this time I have arrived in North America.
We buy some land and have more children. We will pass on the Jurchen bloodline. Maybe one day in the future, our descendants will return to the Ming Dynasty.
They will return to the white mountains and black waters to look for the remains of their ancestors."
Dorgon spoke very lonely, and Jierhalang's legs were broken. During the period of hiding in Helsinki, Jierhalang still couldn't survive in the end.
Now, he is the only one left in the Aixinjueluo family. The responsibility of inheriting the bloodline of his ancestors also falls on his shoulders.
As long as he settles down, he will find a few women in the North American territory and give birth to a lot of children for himself.
The more the merrier!
Anyway, he got a lot of gold from Russia this time.
Now, the gold is lying in the cabin with the salute.
"That's great! I want to get to New York soon. Russia has been defeated. If you stay in Russia, your life will definitely be miserable."
Elizabeth thought of distant Russia, where her father Kutuzov was still there. Her brothers and sisters were also there.
If she leaves this time, she may never see her again. It is unlikely that she will return to Russia in this life.
"If we settle down, I can send someone to bring your father to the North American Territory.
After fighting for a lifetime, it’s time to take a break. He has done enough for Russia!
This time, Russia will definitely be broken up. This is Li Xiao's consistent method. He does not see any country becoming stronger.
Perhaps the Principality of Muscovy will be retained, and that is also to balance the power of Europe. The current Paris Peace Conference is a spoils-sharing conference.
Look, it's not over yet.
France and Prussia made huge gains in the war, and soon these two countries were able to become stronger.
With Li Xiao's character, he would definitely provoke the two countries into a war. Then, when they were exhausted from fighting, Ming Dynasty intervened with tyrannical force.
Then, he will break up one or both parties. Just like Russia, in his opinion, Europe is best left with a lot of small principalities, that is the most reasonable thing.
In that case, the whole of Europe will have to crawl at Li Xiao's feet." Dorgon shook his head, Li Xiao's situation was achieved.
In this world, I am afraid that nothing can stop the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
With the current layout of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is no civil war in the Ming Dynasty within a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty's position as the leader of the world will be unshakable.
However, European countries are not vegetarian either.
A country like Britain is not as big as many provinces in the Ming Dynasty. But here, such large ships can already be built.
In fact, the difference between a cargo ship and a battleship is not that big. It's just that the armor of the battleship is thicker and the speed is higher.
If you can build such a large passenger ship, you must be able to build a battleship of the same size.
At least in terms of navy, Britain still has unlimited potential. It's a pity that Britain's strength today is much weaker than it was twenty years ago.
"Then...! Will the Ming Dynasty send people to the North American Territory to hunt you down again? As far as I know, the North American Territory also received help from the Ming Dynasty before it became independent."
Elizabeth was always worried whether the Ming Dynasty would send people to hunt down Dorgon. After all, she was now tied to a boat with Dorgon.
If something happens to Dorgon, she will definitely not be spared.
"Don't worry! No matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, its power will not be able to reach the North American territory for the time being. After all, compared to the European and North American territories, it can be called a barbaric land.
Li Xiao's eyes are still focused on Eurasia. He doesn't have time yet and thinks of taking charge of the North American territory."
"That's good! That's good!" Elizabeth patted her chest and sincerely begged the true God, hoping that she and Dorgon would no longer live a life of being hunted down.
She had had enough of those days of being on tenterhooks.
"Look over there!" Suddenly, Elizabeth pointed to a few people in the distance, her voice trembling.
Dorgon followed Elizabeth's fingers and couldn't help being surprised.
These are six oriental faces. You can tell by their clothes that they are from the Ming Dynasty. After all, Dorgon is also from the East. He knows the differences between Japanese, Koreans and Ming people.
Judging from their clothes, there is no doubt that they are from the Ming Dynasty.
Could it be that the people of Ming Dynasty have found out about their whereabouts and want to kill themselves?
This is impossible!
He got a new passport in Helsinki. In order not to attract attention, Dorgon even cut off his braids and only brought four of his own servants.
These four people are all servants who have followed him for many years and have no problem with their loyalty. They will never betray Dorgon!
Then these six Ming people...!
"Ada! Please ask, who are those six people and what are they doing on the Titanic?" Dorgon ordered, and a coated slave in a windbreaker quietly retreated.
At exactly eleven o'clock at noon, the huge and luxurious Titanic cruise ship, which is said to be unsinkable, officially set sail.
Thick smoke began to emit from the No. 1 chimney, and twenty-five of the twenty-nine boilers were ignited in sequence.
At exactly twelve o'clock at noon, the Titanic slowly left the dock under the tugboat. The two outer propellers began to stir the water in Southampton Harbor.
The Titanic sailed past the stately, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Oceanic and New York mail ships anchored in the port in turn, honking its whistle to salute them.
