Looking at the extremely determined young emperor, William I immediately became entangled. Of course, he could not let the young emperor go to the front line because it was too dangerous. There was no reason in diplomatic history to allow an emperor who was visiting state affairs to participate in a war in a foreign country. .
The little emperor was assassinated in England. If Gordon and his guards hadn't fought so hard to defend him, Zai Chun might have lost his life. It's a lesson from the past!
Britain may not care about the protests of the Qing Empire, but Prussia still cares. The newly emerging Prussia will need the commercial interests of East Asia in the future.
If something happened to the little emperor in his own hands, would the Forbidden City explode to the ground?
Not to mention the pride of the British. After Emperor Tongzhi was attacked this time, the British secretly provided tens of millions of pounds in interest-free loans to Zaichun. This secret deal behind the scenes calmed the Qing government.
Sometimes, the British also have to consider diplomatic etiquette. When it comes to diplomatic conventions, even if they are as powerful as the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, they cannot override them.
Britain was like this, and Prussia couldn't take risks, so as long as William I didn't go crazy, he would not let Emperor Tongzhi get close to the battlefield.
Moreover, William I had another unspeakable reason, that is, Xiao Letian had a secret meeting with William I before going to the front line. Xiao Letian strictly prohibited Emperor Tongzhi from participating in the war!
Xiao Letian and William I talked a lot during that secret meeting. Although many of the words were very obscure, William I was able to understand the subtext.
Xiao Letian was also scared. Emperor Tongzhi was an important chess piece in his plan to encroach on the Qing Dynasty in the future. He had already been assassinated once in London. If he was placed in a dangerous place again, once his life was lost, all the plans of the Chinese people would be ruined. It's all in vain.
Want to train a chess piece of the same level as Zaichun? That is impossible. As long as Zai Chun dies, the Chinese can only follow the old revolutionary path of going to war with the Manchus.
The Chinese can only use their limited resources to expand the army, thereby giving up the navy plan, and then capture provinces one by one, and city after city!
Isn't this the old way of dynasty changes for thousands of years? The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did this, and the population of Jiangnan decreased by nearly 100 million. If Xiao Letian did it again, how many more people would die?
Moreover, this model will definitely lead to a situation where the army is dominant, because Xiao Letian is not the God of Wealth, and it is impossible for him to conjure a golden mountain to make the army and navy strong at the same time.
That would be terrible. If the Chinese lose such a historical opportunity to establish a deep blue navy, it will be delayed for hundreds of years!
Therefore, even if Zai Chun died, he would have to die in the civil war between the Manchus and the Manchus, and he would have to fulfill the benefits promised to the Chinese before he died!
Fearing that Zai Chun would have an accident was only one part of Xiao Letian's consideration, but there was another layer of deeper thinking that he couldn't explain to outsiders.
Xiao Letian could feel that Zai Chun had gradually become alienated from him. Maybe Zai Chun felt that the assassination incident was unusual, or maybe Zai Chun found the British hugger.
For Zaichun, Xiao Letian's importance is declining!
The master and the disciple have already started to separate from each other, so don't get too close at this time. Are you really prepared to educate an eternal wise king?
Pull it down, you Zaichun should practice your art on paper in the military school! You'd better save yourself from such a dangerous thing in actual combat!
In the final analysis, William I still had a closer relationship with the Chinese, because the Chinese and Prussia were already in a military alliance. In the face of major issues of right and wrong, he could only choose Xiao Letian.
William I, who smiled bitterly, shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't let you go to the front line. On the one hand, it's too dangerous, and on the other hand, you won't learn anything if you go..."
"Why can't I learn? I may have problems communicating with the Prussian officers, but I can go to my master! The head of state will teach me step by step!"
William I secretly sighed in his heart, "What about the head of state? This time it is the head of state who said he doesn't want you anymore! You are still looking for the head of state. Isn't this a dream..."
But before he could say anything clearly, he could only shake his head and said, "To tell you the truth! The head of state is not on the front line now... he has moved his position to Belgium!"
"In the Battle of the Spicillin Highlands, Xiao Letian fought really crazy, and even put himself in danger! I and Chiefs of Staff Bismarck and Moltke discussed together and determined not to allow the Führer to get close to the front line again!"
"So, the head of state is watching the war in Belgium now, and he did not participate in the war!"
"Ah!" Zai Chun was dumbfounded now. "Master...Master actually withdrew from the frontline battle order? How is this possible? How could he give up such an opportunity to become famous?"
William I was a little unhappy when he heard this. He thought to himself, "How can you, an apprentice, evaluate your master like this in front of outsiders?" In your words, you describe Xiao Letian as a villain who strives for fame and wealth!
No wonder Bismarck has always said that sooner or later there will be a gap between Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi and they will part ways!
I didn’t expect that master and apprentice would become disloyal so early!
"Your Majesty is too preoccupied... The achievements of the Führer in this war are shocking to the world! Our Prussian nation will never forget the achievements and friendship of the Führer!"
"Going to Belgium to train and watch the war is just our protection and love for the head of state. We have long recorded our greatest contribution in the Chinese military merit book! The achievements of the Chinese heroes will never be obliterated!"
Emperor Tongzhi's face turned red and he hurriedly smoothed things over, "Of course, of course I believe in your noble character, and my master is not that kind of narrow-minded person, hehe...hehehe..."
After a few giggles, the two sides began to resolve their awkward emotions. This time Zai Chun really couldn't say anything. Even his master had gone to Belgium to watch the match, so what excuse could he have to go?
Throughout the whole day of the banquet, Zai Chun forced a smile. When he returned to the palace in the evening, the angry Emperor Tongzhi called the four beautiful Prussian girls.
He locked them in the bedroom and began to torture them inhumanely. The screams made the hairs on Xiao Sixi's back stand up, and each of them was so frightened that their buttocks trembled.
"Here's a hit! It seems that the Prussians still don't value Heil as much as the British! They just go to the front line, and they can't even do that!"
"Shh... keep your voice down and let Long Live Lord calm down the fire! This is Xiao Letian's territory, we all have to keep a low profile..."
While Da Sixi and Little Sixi were whispering to each other, Manshun walked over quietly, "Two managers... France has sent another emissary. Has the master seen you? He has been here three times..."
"Oh? Is it still the Dutch woman this time?" Xiao Sixi asked.
"No, no... French spies are cunning enough. They change their spies every time. The one who comes back this time is a beautiful lady from Norway, who seems to be a high-ranking noble..."
"Don't bother Your Majesty tonight. Let's report back to Your Majesty tomorrow!"
As the three of them whispered to each other, screams could be heard in the bedroom. Two of the four Prussian girls under the age of sixteen were sent to the hospital the next day.
The other two people also suffered lifelong psychological trauma!
