In 1869, when it was almost a Chinese era in Europe, strong Chinese winds hung from spring to Christmas, and Chinese storms swept through Britain and the rest of Europe.
A British Prime Minister was forced to step down, the entire British Parliament was reshuffled, the colonial power was severely suppressed, and the mercantile group that carried a bit of isolationism once again occupied the center of the political scene.
The Irish fires were still burning, the fog of assassination was still unlifted, the French and Russian protests were rising in waves, but the Chinese stood as immovable as reefs in the sea.
No matter what, Xiao Letian's plans were both firm and ruthless. After purchasing the Mauritius, he had immediately reached an agreement with Gladstone to exchange the national letter. The powerful British Empire had finally officially recognized the status of the Chinese nation.
Not only that, Xiao Letian had also used the fresh source s and the delicacies of Chinese food to conquer Ying Lun. The windfall Chinese food business made him extremely profitable, and at this rate, Xiao Letian could drive away two Iron-armored Ship from England in a year.
Not only did he manage to end his career, Xiao Letian also unexpectedly received a lot of love. The Queen of Austro-Hungarian Empire had become his forbidden wife, and all the higher-ups in Europe now knew that the two of them had already been exposed.
It was laughable to say that such an intolerable affair between lovers was as common as drinking water in Europe. There were not many discussions in Austro-Hungarian Empire, let alone denouncing them.
On the contrary, it was the proposal of the Princess Cissie to form the Ocean trade that made all the nobles and capitalists of the empire excited. From the Adriatic Sea of Croatia all the way to the distant East Asia, building a new golden channel was the dream of almost all the countries in Eastern Europe.
The ocean channel was a river of money, which was related to the core interests of the country. The Princess Cissie would accompany the bed to sleep for the core interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this was simply a national hero, they should establish an even bigger statue for the Queen.
The chaotic year 1869 was about to pass, and Christmas was just around the corner. The celebration of the exchange of letters between the Chinese and British nationalities was going to take place two days before Christmas. All that was left to prepare was to quietly wait for the arrival of the year 1870.
The heroic strategy that Xiao Letian had set up could now be considered as having all of them come to an end.
The excited Führer gave the envoy a Christmas break, allowing all the troops to take turns to rest and allow them free time to travel around London.
Tongzhi saw that his master had given his subordinates a big holiday, and he himself was not willing to be outdone. He sent orders for all his subordinates to rest in shifts, even arranging a vacation for the four eunuchs who were closest to him.
This year was an extremely meaningful year for the Tongzhi Emperor, both good and bad. The bad thing was that he had been assassinated, and had even received bad news about the Heaven King Yi s being alive.
That was because he had made a very generous secret agreement with the United Kingdom through this visit. Not only did he get the assistance of countless arms and funds, he also got the support of the British officer which was led by Gordon.
The future new guard army would have two parallel command systems. The British officer would be in charge of war and training, and Zai Chun's own direct line of defense and organization would be in charge of everyday operations.
This was the most reasonable structure that Zai Chun could think of. It could be used to advance the military tactics of the west, and could also avoid the conflicts between East and West cultures.
After thinking about it, Zai Chun felt that he had earned a bit more than what he had lost. With the help of the British, he had complete confidence in his personal affairs the year after tomorrow.
Zai Chun was even giving his subordinates twice the rewards as compared to previous years. Everyone in the follower group was filled with joy.
