Chapter 950(1/2)

Old Rothschild was not worried about Ming Dynasty falling out, because falling out over this kind of matter would bring Ming Dynasty into disrepute. A country without credibility would be in trouble.

Although today's Ming Dynasty is tyrannical and unrivaled in the world. As long as you enter this game, you must follow the rules of the game.

The European Bank was quickly established with the strong support of various countries. Originally, Ai Husheng planned to hold 51% of the equity. However, this equity was too popular, and Ai Husheng had to suppress Daming's shareholding ratio again and again.

There is nothing we can do about this, as there are many small countries in Europe.

There are a large number of grand duchies left over from the Middle Ages, many of which are actually a castle or a country. Countries like France and Prussia are already big countries.

Each country only got a small share, and more than 70% of the shares were divided out. In the end, Ming Dynasty was left with 33% of the shares, which was considered to be one-third.

After the rapid establishment of European banks, business expanded even faster.

Countries participating in the war came to borrow money to purchase military supplies. As a major military supply country, Ming Dynasty opened up its supply this time.

Medium-caliber rifles, mortars, cannons, and Maxim heavy machine guns were openly sold, and even second-hand airships were also supplied. France, the Ming's iron-clad ally, and Prussia, its new iron-clad ally, the Ming Dynasty actually sold them anti-aircraft guns to deal with Russia.

Military airship attack.

"Thank you, His Majesty the King, for allowing me to bring Prussia's most sincere thanks." Feng.

As the Prussian negotiator, General Bock was as excited as a child after receiving a bunch of weapons.

"My life can be considered saved by Prussia. It is appropriate to give Prussia some convenience. General von Bock, you don't have to be polite." Zheng Sen looked at the Prussian general with a smile.

While in Prussia, Zheng Sen had observed this army at close range.

I had always heard people say that the Prussians were good at fighting. Zheng Sen still didn't believe it, but after observing closely, Zheng Sen believed it.

Once a group of Prussian soldiers were practicing by the lake. The Prussian officer gave an order and the soldiers began to walk in unison.

At this time, the messenger suddenly brought a piece of order. The Prussian officer lowered his head and looked at the order, but the order was a bit long. It took two pages!

Zheng Sen watched helplessly as the group of Prussian soldiers walked into the lake step by step. Even when the lake water was above their heads, none of them stopped.

By the time the Prussian officer read the order, the entire team was already submerged in the water. Although no one was drowned that time, Zheng Sen also saw an army with strict military laws and prohibitions!

Zheng Sen felt that the Ming army did not have such a style of imposing orders and prohibitions. At least, Ao Ye's subordinates, as the most elite of the Ming Dynasty, did not have such "short-mindedness".

If such an army had weapons like the Ming Dynasty, it would be hard to say what the outcome of the battle would be.

"This time Prussia has so many advanced weapons, it will definitely be able to defeat the Russian army." Regarding the Russian army, Feng.

Bock was filled with disdain.

"The general will go back and inform His Majesty the King that the date of the attack is set for April 1st. Poland has agreed to join the coalition, and Prussia needs to coordinate with the French army under the command of Emperor Napoleon.

I hope that your two armies will unite and cooperate and fight for victory together."

The commander of the coalition forces was of course Napoleon, which fulfilled his desire to lead his army for revenge. Zheng Sen was a little worried about whether there would be any friction between the Prussian army and the French army.

Before the war was over, the armies of the two countries started fighting. After all, the two countries were life-and-death enemies during the last war.

"Don't worry, we Prussians know what is best for us. Besides, if we fight with the French, how will we repay these loans?" Feng.

Bock smiled bitterly.

As one of the shareholders of the European Bank, the Prussians certainly knew that the money owed to the European Bank could not be repaid. The most appropriate way was to extract it from the Russians.

"Okay!" Zheng Sen was very proud. The proud Prussian finally bowed to money.

No way, money is a good thing.

I finally know why everyone says that their teacher’s greatest skill is economics. Force can conquer a person’s body, but money can conquer a person’s soul.

Bismarck's soul is now deeply conquered by Ming Dynasty.

Is this prosperous city in front of me really a city on earth? Bismarck stood on Chang'an Avenue in the capital, watching the cars and the crowds of people passing by, staring blankly at everything in front of him.

As the sun sets, countless people ride bicycles on the road.

The huge crowd formed a torrent and drove on the right side. Three lights were hung at each intersection. Whenever the red light came on, the torrent would be cut off. Everyone would stop, and then people in the other two directions would

The traffic flow poured down like a flood that had been opened.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the green lights were on in the other two directions.

After passing several roads, Bismarck finally understood. A red light is a stop signal, while a green light is a go signal.

The yellow light in the middle flashes, which is a signal to remind people to pay attention. The traffic flow will stop or move according to the guidance of the signal light. There is no confusion, no pause. It seems to flow endlessly!

Bicycles walk on both sides of the road, and horse-drawn carriages drive in the middle of the road.

This wide road is wider than St. Louis Square in Magdegeburg. And strangely enough, the Ming Dynasty road is not paved with stones, but with something black.

Compared with the stone road, this black thing seems to be more elastic. When the carriage drives on it, it is not as bumpy as the stone road.

In winter, it gets dark very early. When the copper bell in the bell tower rings five times, the sky is already very dark.

Suddenly, the entire Chang'an Avenue lit up.

Countless things that are a thousand times brighter than the brightest oil lamp illuminate the entire Chang'an Avenue.

People pedaled their bicycles forward under the bright lights.

Bicycles were also available in Prussia, and they were all transported to Prussia by merchants who traveled thousands of miles from the Ming Dynasty. This thing that traveled as fast as a galloping horse soon became the standard equipment for the children of the Prussian aristocracy.

Bismarck's son had such a bicycle, and he even tried to ride it once. However, the roads in Magdegeburg were far less smooth than those in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no elasticity. Bismarck didn't like this kind of thing very much.

Unexpectedly, bicycles have become a means of transportation for ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

He knows very well what changes this kind of thing can bring to life. People can travel faster and have more time.

People can do more things and have more leisure time to use.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" the accompanying Ming officials reminded the blue-eyed old man with light blond hair.

Thanks to Baitang Ruowang, there were many people who could speak German in the Ming Dynasty. Honglu Temple naturally had no shortage of such talents. With the care of the Zheng family, Bismarck certainly received the warmest reception in the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, the places he wanted to visit were given the green light. Even the visit to Li Xiao, who was busy with his busy schedule, was personally facilitated by Zheng Chenggong.

"Oh! Oh!" Bismarck woke up from his confusion. The scene just now was too shocking. This was a scene that was difficult to see in Magdegeburg or any city in Prussia.

Heaven! Could it be that...this is heaven?

Today, he will have dinner with the founder of heaven, His Excellency the Grand Marshal of the Ming Dynasty. What kind of person is this? It is said that he is a young man, very, very young.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please come this way." Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, Bismarck followed behind and entered the Marshal's Mansion.

There were soldiers in military uniforms standing guard at the door with guns in hand. When they saw Bismarck passing by the door, they immediately saluted with guns.

The guns in their hands were very strange. They had a longer magazine than the rifle. It seemed that it could hold many bullets. The bayonet reflected the light and looked very cold.

Bismarck's entourage were taken to another courtyard and received by specialized people.

In Bismarck's view, this place was more like a barracks. Most of the people coming in and out were wearing military uniforms. It was not like the royal palace in Magdeburg, where there were many women wearing heavy makeup.

Most of the yards here have a round door. There are many flowers and bamboos planted inside. It is rare that the bamboos are still green in this season. There is even a little snow on the top of the bamboos.

The ground is paved with stone pavement and is very smooth.

After walking into several courtyards, I finally couldn't see the stereotyped soldiers. Women began to appear in satin and cotton clothes. There were not many of these women, but they were all beautiful. At least according to Bismarck's aesthetics, these women were all angels.

Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette, Bismarck walked into a glass house.

It was freezing outside, but this transparent glass house was filled with heat. Two angelic women came over and helped Bismarck take off his fur coat.

A young man appeared in front of him, with shiny black hair and black eyes like two black gems.

Beside the young man, there was a strong man like a bear. His black beard was as thick as boar bristles and was stuck all over his face.

"Is this old Huang Mao the iron-blooded prime minister you talk about?" Ao Ye looked at Bismarck and asked Li Xiao with some doubts.

This old guy is quite tall, almost the same as Mr. Ao. But he is a little thin, and he is far from the image of an iron-blooded prime minister in Mr. Ao's mind.

"Of the wars you have experienced, how many people were killed or injured in the one with the most casualties?"

"Then there was the bloody battle with the Two Blue Banners outside Dalinghe City. The first division suffered almost 60% losses."

"At that time, the first division was only full of more than 10,000 people, and 60% was more than 6,000 people. I heard that you were so distressed that you almost committed suicide after that battle.

Guess how many people were injured in one battle by that leader?" Li Xiao smiled and bowed his hands to Bismarck, and the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Rites naturally translated the commander's words thoughtfully.

"How many people?" Ao Canghai asked doubtfully.

"On the first day, we fought for 12 hours and suffered 60,000 casualties. On the second day, this old guy gave the order to continue fighting."

"Fuck, he's such a ruthless person." Ao Canghai looked at the old man in front of him again. If it was like what Li Xiao said, it would be appropriate for him to have the title of Iron-Blooded Prime Minister attached to his head.

Anyway, Ao Ye Keqing couldn't stand such a battle with casualties. In the battle of Daling River, he was heartbroken with pain when the first division suffered 60% losses.

"What are they talking about?" Bismarck looked at the Ming Marshal in front of him in confusion, not knowing what he and the bear-like man were mumbling.

"Uh...! That young man is the Generalissimo of our Ming Dynasty. The more majestic one is His Excellency Ao Canghai, the commander of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty Army.

The First Army Division is the most powerful and most meritorious unit in the Ming Dynasty. It has always been called the First Division in the army. It cannot be ignored!" The junior officials in the Ministry of Rites were afraid of Bismarck and did not know the importance of it, so they offended the most ferocious army in the Ming Dynasty.

General, specially reminded Bismarck.

After all, Bismarck rewarded himself with a bag of gold sand as soon as he waved his hand. This money must not be given in vain.

"Thank you!" Bismarck quickly thanked him. Of course he knew that this was the function of gold.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, has come all the way. Li Xiao prepared some light wine to entertain you. It's not respectful!" Li Xiao didn't hold a welcome banquet like a state banquet. Although such an occasion was grand, it didn't allow for a good discussion.
