As usual, the dancer's show was held. The young master in the venue stared at the long legs on the stage, and could no longer hold back his inner gaze and was ready to move.

"I am a citizen of the German Empire, you can't treat me like this." A loud English sentence suddenly popped up at the venue, attracting everyone's attention. Even the lady on the stage stopped and looked over.

(I originally wanted to use English, but I was afraid that some readers would find it troublesome, so I just used Chinese characters instead.)

I saw a tall, blond, blue-eyed, and high-necked foreigner waving his hands in front of a group of waiters, trying to stop them from stepping forward.

"What else can this fake foreigner say? Can you speak human words?" Several waiters began to appear impatient, and their tone was not so polite, and there was a tendency to take action if they had a disagreement.

"I said, I'm a German, you can't treat me like this." The European and American man found that his reputation could not scare everyone, and said in stiff vernacular.

"It turns out that you can speak human language, so it's easy to deal with. Either give money or break both legs. No, you just break the third leg and choose yourself." The leading waiter stared at the German crotch and laughed.

Although the Germans didn't understand it very well, even idiots could guess eight points when they saw the waiter's sinister smile, and their faces changed: "I am a guest of your Qing Dynasty. No one can save you except for things."

"I want to frame us again? After playing our game, our ladies don't want to spend money. How could it be so easy? Even if you German emperor comes, you can't protect you."

Now is different. In heaven and earth, the boss is very good at the court. It is said that Prince Gong can't afford to offend him. Of course, this group of waiters rose with the rise and did not take a foreigner seriously.

...

In the Imperial Garden, Tongzhi was sitting on a stool and was fishing bored in the lake. Several maids stood beside him and fanned him.

"Emperor, the guards who guarded the heaven and earth came back to report that they had caught a foreign devil and did not pay after playing. It is said that there was a background." Eunuch Wang trotted from a distance anxiously.

"Foreign devils? What's the situation?" Tongzhi was also a little surprised. Foreigners actually went to heaven and earth, and they didn't pay.

"There is a citizen who claimed to be the German Empire. He went to the fourth floor to play. When he paid, he found that his whole body was less than ten taels of silver, so he was arrested and beaten." Eunuch Wang conveyed the guard's words to Tongzhi intact.

"Relying on the identity of a foreigner, don't think we are so easy to bully. You can handle it as much as you should." Tongzhi snorted coldly.

"But, the foreigner said that his father had a good relationship with the Lord Zhongtang." Eunuch Wang was a little hesitant. After all, offending foreigners would cause diplomatic controversy, and if he couldn't beat him, he would suffer. In the end, he would suffer.

"Or it's better to turn big things into small things, and small things into small things. It's better to lose more things than to make more things."

"It doesn't exist. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Even if you are a foreigner, I will not let him go." Tongzhi said firmly: "What is his name? It has something to do with Li Hongzhang."

"It seems to be called Ferguson Krupp." Eunuch Wang replied, ready to leave.

"Ferguson Krupp, Krupp..." Tongzhi muttered, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly jumped up from the chair: "Lao Wang, come here for me."

"Emperor Emperor, what else do you have to do?" Eunuch Wang had just walked less than five hundred meters away. Hearing Tongzhi's call, he rushed back in a hurry, and said in a hurry.

"You bring that foreigner to me, hurry up, I have to take the money from heaven and earth."

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly change your mind? Could it be..."

"Is that a big deal? I'm afraid of foreigners? It's just that this person is useful to us." Tongzhi grinned and smiled rare.

Yes, people may not know or have heard of it many times nowadays, but for modern people, Krupp's reputation is proven by strength.

The most famous arms enterprise in the 19th century, the Krupp cannons produced even determined the war between the two countries, and people who advocated Krupp around the world flocked to it.

Ferguson Krupp is the second son of Alfred Krupp, the current leader of the Krupp family. His status is far inferior to his brother Fritz Krupp. It is just because this person is addicted to weapons research and is not good at interpersonal communication, which offended many people.

I really want to come whatever I want. Isn’t it short of arms? Now a weapon master comes.

Tongzhi tried hard to recall the Ferguson Krupp in his memory and tried to find out some things about him.

Ferguson Krupp is proficient in aerodynamics and mechanical engineering, including Krupp cannons and various weapons, and is dominated by his design.

But his elder brother Fritz Krupp had no talent in the development of weapons, and was worried that this younger brother would compete with him for the position of patriarch and try every means to frame him.

And this time, Ferguson Krupp would not be the only one who came to the capital.

The purpose of coming to the capital this time was to assess the two brothers. Whoever could sell more weapons to the Qing Dynasty would take over everything in the family.

This is obviously unfair to Ferguson. Historically, the Qing government purchased 6,793 cannons from Alfred and his son, and this son represented Fritz Krupp.

Thinking of this, Tongzhi had a plan in his mind.

If you like you, can you still run away? Hehe, this is the most sexy one.

In the backyard of the Yangxin Hall, Tongzhi sat on a chair, and in front of him was a ragged foreigner with a bruised nose and swollen face, lowering his head and bowing his head.

"Why, Ferguson, I didn't want to say anything?" Tongzhi held the handrail, wanted to stand up and highlight his momentum, thought about it and sat down again. It was so shorter than others, and it was a little embarrassed.

"I know you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I am very grateful to you, but it is impossible to keep me by your side to help you study weapons." Ferguson shook his head. He did not want to leave his family.

He actually knew the attitude towards him in the family. His brother and father did not like him very much, but he did not want to leave the family.

"What if I help you complete the task and make you the heir?" Tongzhi stared at Ferguson in a flash.

Tongzhi did not have the ability to decide the heir of the German fire crocodile, but it could be purchased by the Qing government from Ferguson.

"I don't want to compete for this heir. I think our family's patriarch position is more suitable for my brother." Ferguson was not interested in this proposal.

"I set up a research department, and you are the person in charge, but you must conduct research in private if it cannot be publicly disclosed for the time being." Tongzhi continued.

"This... I still don't want to leave the family." Ferguson hesitated, but refused.

Can you change the sentence? Tongzhi is a little crazy and difficult to show, and he still has a smile on his face.

"We do not limit your research. As long as it has practical significance, I will provide you with all resources and funds." Tongzhi continued to throw out his bargaining chips.

For research madman, there is probably nothing more tempting than this.

"But I have a request." Ferguson thought about it for a while and finally nodded.

"you say"

"I have to report to the family."

"Of course, I will hire you as a weapon consultant in the name of our Qing Dynasty."

"And..." Ferguson seemed a little embarrassed. He just said something, and now he wants to make the conditions again.

"Say whatever you want, as long as I can do it, it will be accurate." Tongzhi waved his hand, very generous.

Since the big head has been negotiated, it is impossible to be ruined by some small profits.

"The weapons and equipment I have developed cannot be used on my motherland and my family." Ferguson said firmly: "This is my principle."

“no        problem”

"Then, welcome our first president of the Royal Military Institute and hope that the cooperation will be pleasant."

"Happy cooperation"

I will make up for yesterday's work. I hope my brothers and sisters will support me. This is my only motivation to continue writing. I want to write a book that belongs to me and is finished!
