1825 My New Daming

Chapter 353 Victoria, you have suffered a yellow peril! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

September 1831th.

London, 10 Downing Street.

The official residence of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has another distinguished guest visiting today.The person who came was Grand Duke Mikhail, the younger brother of Tsar Nicholas I of the Raksha Empire, and this Grand Duke Raksha, who was almost a frequent visitor to No. 10 Downing Street, brought an astonishing news this time.

"What? Grand Duke Mikhail, what are you talking about? The engagement between Duke Alexander and Princess Victoria is going to be voided? Why?"

The Duke of Wellington did not support the marriage contract between Duke Alexander and Princess Victoria in the first place, because the top-ranked white men in the Raksha Kingdom in Western Europe seemed to be the "third-class white and fourth-class white" among the white men.Although the Rakshasa lineage on Duke Alexander is very weak, he is mainly German, and Princess Victoria is a fellow German.But since he is the grand duke of the Raksha Kingdom, the son of the tsar, and the heir to the Raksha throne, then this "third-class white, fourth-class white" caste cannot be thrown away.

However, recently, because of the "victory and retreat" of the Indian Empire (obviously won, I don't know why it changed from defending Malacca to defending Suez?), the Duke of Wellington also had to seriously consider the possibility of the Romanov dynasty entering England. sex.

British King Romanov?

Still a little unwilling!

But to the Duke of Wellington's surprise, the Rakshasa actually regretted the marriage before he made a move to ruin the marriage!

This is really deceiving. How can such a thing as repenting of a marriage be brought up by a Rakshasa?Even if you want to regret the marriage, it has to be proposed by the British Empire!Could it be that after several "victories and retreats" in the Indian Ocean, the deterrent power of the British Empire has been exhausted?
"Duke," Grand Duke Mikhail said slowly, considering his words, "The termination of the marriage contract between Duke Alexander and Princess Victoria is a request from Ming. They believe that this is a necessary condition for Ming and Great Britain to achieve peace and coexistence. "

"what?"

British Foreign Secretary Robert Peel, who accompanied the Duke of Wellington to meet Grand Duke Mikhail, couldn't help interjecting, "My lord, what does the peace between our British Empire and Ming have to do with the marriage of Duke Alexander and Princess Victoria?"

The Duke of Wellington nodded, and added: "And Daming is the new Yellow Peril, the enemy of the entire West!"

Grand Duke Mikhail nodded in agreement, "Yes, they are indeed yellow perils. Very terrible yellow perils! These yellow perils are now targeting Princess Victoria!"

"What? What did you say?" Duke Wellington looked at Grand Duke Mikhail in surprise.

Grand Duke Mikhail sighed pretentiously: "Duke, the Ming Empire has proposed a... a peace plan that allows Ming and Great Britain to coexist under extreme circumstances."

"Peace plan? What is it?" The Duke of Wellington became more and more confused as he heard it.

"It was Emperor Ming's younger brother Lu Wang Zhu Xi who married into England and became Queen Victoria's husband"

"what?"

"My lord, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Both the Duke of Wellington and Robert Peel exclaimed.

"This is impossible!" the Duke of Wellington roared, "The United Kingdom cannot marry the future queen to the prince of the Ming Kingdom. Even if the Ming Empire is not as terrible as the Mongol Empire, we cannot marry the princess to their prince! "

Robert Peel also nodded and said: "They are wishful thinking!"

Grand Duke Mikhail looked at Duke Wellington with a sad expression: "Duke, in fact, the Ming Empire is as terrible a yellow peril as the Great Mongol Kingdom back then! So we think that the British Empire must prepare for the worst. What if they fail to disintegrate India, fail to land in Australia, fail to seize the Suez Canal and enter the Mediterranean Sea. And what will the British Empire's navy do at that time? How to stop the continuous tragedy of the British Empire won the war?"

Windsor Castle, located in the countryside of southern England, is ushering in its best season of the year.

Early in the morning, through an open window, a scent of fresh grass, which comes only after the spring rain has spread over the earth, rushed into Victoria's bedroom.The refreshing feeling brought by the fresh air was like a magical refreshing medicine, which made the regent princess of the United Kingdom who was lying in bed and still a little bit drowsy quickly regain consciousness.Then Princess Victoria opened her sleepy eyes.

The titular regent of the United Kingdom is just a 12-year-old child, not to mention the kind of "natural baby of other people's family", but a stupid little girl, who is sleepy and playful like almost all bear children of the same age , gluttonous, and dislikes studying. Although she has the most luxurious tutor group in the whole of England, who can provide her with the best education and the richest homework around the clock, she doesn't like it at all.

So when her blurred vision slowly focused, and she saw a lady in a velvet dress in front of the bed, she immediately closed her eyes in disgust, and put the quilt over her head, as if she wanted to hide like this.

"Princess, it's time to wake up. Breakfast is ready. After eating, your new tutor, the Duke of Marlborough, will come to give you your first Chinese lesson."

Upon hearing this, Princess Victoria lifted the quilt abruptly, sat up from the bed, and stared at the lady in front of her with wide eyes, "Countess, what are you talking about? What do I want to learn?"

"Chinese. The language and characters of the Ming Empire!"

"I know what Chinese is!" Princess Victoria asked angrily, "but why should I learn it? Now I have to memorize English words, French words, German words, Latin words, and Russian words every day. Now there are more words." Chinese words, there are too many, I can't remember!"

It is indeed a little more!
However, as the future Queen of England, English is always compulsory, and then French. Although France is not very popular after Emperor Napoleon's misfortune, nobles always have to speak a little tradition, otherwise why is it noble?Therefore, as the future Queen of England, French words still have to be memorized.

As for German, that is also necessary, Victoria is a German!It is always necessary to be able to speak a little of the native dialect.

Of course Latin is also to be learned. Latin was the "diplomatic language" among European countries decades ago. Although it is not very popular now, it is still necessary to use the Latin text as the standard when signing treaties.There are also many treaties signed in the past, which were also written in Latin.As the Queen of England, Victoria can't understand Latin at all!
And Russian is for her little fiancé, Alexander the Great. Although Alexander can speak German and English, but out of the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, the future Queen of England has to learn Russian.

In addition to this pile of languages, Victoria also needs to study mathematics, philosophy, music, art, riding, etc. Science education and quality education must not be left behind.

"Princess," the noble maid in charge of taking care of Princess Victoria smiled and said, "From today onwards, you don't have to learn Russian, and there are no Chinese words for you to memorize."

Finally some good news!

Victoria still doesn't know how difficult it is to learn Chinese, let alone that George Spencer Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough, who studied in Ming Dynasty, Japan, and the Kingdom of Jin when he was young, and who is well versed in oriental culture, even prepared brushes for Her Royal Highness!

"But why don't I need to learn Russian?" Victoria felt something was wrong, looked at her head maid and asked, "If I don't speak Russian, how can I communicate with Brother Alexander in the future?"

Also "Brother Alexander", the elderly lady sighed, and said in her heart: "The Duke Alexander of the Raksha Kingdom is going to regret his marriage."

Thinking of this, the Countess smiled again: "Your Highness, get up quickly, the Duke of Wellington, the Viscount of Melbourne, the Duke of Marlborough, and Grand Duke Mikhail will come together later, and they will naturally ask You explain what happened"
