Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

At the pier of the Elbe River, a small sized scissor boat belonging to the Portugal was quietly waiting for their guests. The sailors and the captain were already stunned by the sight, even though they had done a lot of homework and read a lot of reports about the Chinese, they never thought that the prestige of these Chinese in Prussia would be so high.

The whole city was left empty as they saw off. The police and soldiers of the city were maintaining order, and the Prussian, who was famous for his strict and calm nature, cried without restraint today.

In the end, even the churches in the entire city began to ring the bell to send them off. With such a great reputation, even the king would be qualified to send them off.

The captain and the sailors took a furtive glance at the ladies who were standing at the bow of the ship. Their eyes were filled with admiration.

Hu Niu, Ping Er and the few maids that they brought with them from China did not follow the group as they walked through the streets of Hamburg. In the early morning, they had already secretly boarded the merchant ship.

At this time, Hu Niu was already in tears. On one hand, she was moved by her man, but on the other hand, she couldn't bear to part with her sister Fang Guan.

"Fang Guan, are you really not coming back with me? Can you really get used to this foreign place? Don't forget, that Frenchman Pierre is coming back with us … "

Fang Guan started to nod his head to wipe his tears. After hearing Pierre's name, his face turned red, "Aiya, where does he go have anything to do with me? I stayed in Europe because I wanted to study opera. I really loved singing too much... "

In order to nurture her, Xiao Letian had spent a huge sum of money to find the best vocal music teacher in the entire Prussia, and had also used her contacts to give her countless opportunities to perform on stage.

Xiao Letian definitely did not speak of giving Fang Guan freedom casually. He sincerely hoped that this talented girl would be able to walk his own path.

From a certain point of view, Xiao Letian, Fang Guan and the other women should be thanking the viscount of the Austria. If not for him uncovering this issue that everyone had ignored, even Xiao Letian would not have thought that she had neglected the new and rising power of the feminist world.

In the middle of the world, the feminist movement was a mere concept. Even the European world remained under the control of a patriarchal society, and the era in which feminism truly flourished was the Second World War.

Of course, Xiao Letian did not expect himself to gain any benefits from ingratiating himself with the feminists, but he would not intentionally avoid this question. Since his attitude towards women had already been noticed by the higher ups in Europe, he might as well go with the flow.

In the various public and private diplomatic gatherings that Xiao Letian participated in, his wife Hu Niu, the soprano Fang Guan, as well as the maid Ping Er and others had all become star figures beside him.

Although he was powerless to change the backward view of marriage in all of Asia, he would firmly support monogamous marriage through his own example. He would also give the women beside him a best future, and he, Xiao Letian, supported feminism.

Xiao Letian will do what he says. Didn't Fang Guan want to have an independent career? Didn't she want a life of self-choice? Xiao Letian could give it to her, but not only could he not be restrained, he had even given Fang Guan a very big assistant.

Not only did Xiao Letian's actions cause the elites of Europe to sigh in admiration, his name was even linked to the rise of feminism.

This was a great invisible power. If a man was loved and respected by all the women in the civilized world, although these women did not have any political power, their hidden power was too powerful.

He could foresee how great Xiao Letian's global reputation would become in the next half of his life after all the mothers of the whole world had told their children that 'Xiao Letian is a good person and a respectable Prime Minister'.

From a certain point of view, when Fang Guan accepted the freedom bestowed to her by Xiao Letian, she would no longer be able to return to his homeland.

They were in pain, the women held their heads and cried, until the last moment the King Yi was crying.

"Enough Hu Niu, don't cry... With me, Fang Guan will not suffer any losses. The entire Sino-German Fund is under my control, coupled with the close relationship between us and the higher ups of the Prussian Kingdom, I think we will be able to enjoy life here … "

"On the contrary, you're the ones who make me worry …" King Yi let out a long sigh. The situation in the Ryukyu is not good, you will have to face more difficulties than me when you go back. The only thing I can do is protect the small assets of the Sino-German Foundation for you, and even if there is a chance in the future … We also have a way out! "

King Yi really doesn't know how to speak, the girls are already crying, why are you still not opening the pot? When Fang Guan heard this, he suddenly burst into tears. "Madam, I won't stay here any longer, I want to follow you home. I know that the French are attacking our home, even if I want to die, I will die together with my sisters …"

This time, the topic had changed. Ping Er, who was advising Fang Guan to return, changed his words, "No, good little sister, you stay, listen to the words of the lord, it's too rare for us women to have a chance like you. Don't disappoint the lord!"

"Right, right, Fang Guan can stay behind …" "Wuu!" The group of women hugged each other and began crying again.

At this time, Xiao Letian's army was not far from the dock, and the waves of cheers had reached its peak, the church bells were ringing more and more densely, the sailors on the scissor boat s quickly reinforced their pedals, preparing to welcome Xiao Letian and the rest on board the ship.

On the house closest to the bridge, behind a curtain, a pair of eyes was staring at Xiao Letian and his team.

"Damn barbarians, do you want to go home safely? You think you can escape after insulting the civilized world? "Don't think that we will only send our fleet to take revenge on your homeland. If you can leave the North Sea safely today, I'll jump off this building …"

The man who was being fierce was Pierre's old acquaintance, the French intelligence officer Xie Lifu. It was easy to imagine the mood of the lieutenant colonel, who had been sent to the front line because of Pierre's escape from prison, and who had been thrown from a comfortable Paris to the front line of dangerous intelligence.

Behind Xie Lifu, a few subordinates were waiting for his orders. When Xiao Letian was just a few hundred meters away from the scissor boat, Xie Lifu suddenly turned his head towards his subordinates and said to them, "Alright, send out the signal now. This is the last message.

Not long after, behind the window of the pavilion, an exquisite glass mirror started to reflect sunlight rhythmically. Soon, another building a few hundred meters away also started to send out a signal.

Just like that, Xie Lifu's latest information was transmitted to the outer seas with a speed of light. With one roof tower after another, and then with the other unremarkable cargo ship mast after another, the French spy sent out the news that Xiao Letian was about to depart with such a simple method.

Xiao Letian didn't know at all that he was being eyed by the thief. Right at this moment, the moment he brought his brothers onto the merchant boat, the atmosphere in the crowd had become extremely heavy, countless women and children had even fainted on the two sides of the road.

At this time, they had no choice but to leave. The crowd's emotions had already reached the edge of losing control, and the special mix camp's people were holding hands and forming a human wall near the steps. However, there were always soldiers who were pushed into the water by the careless crowd.

"Goodbye!" Goodbye, hamburger's relatives … I, Xiao Letian will definitely return! " Well, at least he didn't blurt out that Hu Sanhan would return.

"Untie the ropes, pull off the pedals, and get ready to sail!" The captain did not dare delay and immediately ordered the scissor boat to set sail. In front of him, tens of citizens who were sending him off had already been pushed into the water.

Right at the moment when the merchant ship was about to depart, in the distant Berlin, at Bismark's residence, Prime Minister Iron-Blood who was putting down thick documents subconsciously looked out of the window.

"Should we leave now? At this time, he was probably already at the surface of the sea … "Life is hard to come by. You and I are of the same kind, carrying the future of a people on our backs. Only we can experience this feeling ourselves …"

While the Prime Minister was sighing in a low voice, the door of the study was suddenly slammed open with a loud bang. Before the Prime Minister could speak, the Secretary waved a page of documents and shouted in alarm.

"Prime Minister, France has sent the latest top secret telegram … French Army Xie Lifu had already snuck into the hamburger seven days ago, and all the clues point to one point, and that is Xiao Letian! "

"What?" Bismark snatched the message from the secretary's hands. After reading it, he was stunned.

"Crazy, Napoleon III has already gone completely mad. Even the United Kingdom, the United States and our diplomats are trying so hard to persuade him, but no one is able to change his mind? Now, even the Austria has sent someone to be the mediator, why can't he let it go? "

Send a telegram to the hamburger right now, ask Xiao Letian to come back. Do not ever go out to sea, the French fleet must be prepared.

But it was already too late, at this time, not to mention the merchant ship that Xiao Letian was riding, even Xie Lifu and the rest had secretly escaped the city.

After the war, the Prussian Intelligence placed too much of their energy on the Austria. This was the most important reason for their negligence.

Bismark's telegram was too late in the end. When the officials of the Hamburg's council rode on their carriages and rushed to the dock, the citizens on the streets had already gradually dispersed. On the distant sea level, the shadows of countless sailboats could no longer be seen.
