Chapter 14 The Price of Freedom

Chapter 14 The Cost of Freedom (")

After the song was sung, Zheng Yu sighed softly, turned his head to look out the window, and the low voice sounded again.

"When I was very young, I was exposed to a lot of European music, but I still couldn't figure out some questions... Why is Chopin's music always full of sorrow and strength? Why did he leave his motherland with a cup of soil and refuse to become the chief piano player of the Tsar? Why did he send his heart back to Warsaw after his death? Now, when I see this land and this nation, I understand." Zheng Yu turned around and stared at Lyukichi, "The Great Plains of Poland are so beautiful, and the Polish people, who are born in the grassland nation, have already been deeply hidden in their blood and souls. Such a nation will never be able to accept oppression and enslavement from foreign races. The temporary decline is just for the rise of the future!"

"His Highness Liujichi, there is a saying in my country," Zheng Yu said word by word, "If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence! Poland has been silent for half a century! The Russians are doing their best to destroy Polish culture, trying to turn the Poles into obedient slaves of Russian nobles! Are the free Poles silent for this way until they are destroyed!"

"I remember a poem by Petofi in Hungary," said Zheng Yu. "Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned! Your Highness, the Polish people, have they really forgotten the freedom God has given them?"

At this moment, Liujichi finally could no longer remain calm. He stood up suddenly, his expression was a little excited, but he seemed to be trying to suppress certain emotions, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. His body trembled slightly, and he stared at Zheng Yu, his expression changed, and the light in his eyes became more and more complicated. Zheng Yu never thought that a person's expression and eyes could contain such rich emotions and such complex entanglements! He sighed softly in his heart. In this era, I am afraid no one knows the future of Poland better than Zheng Yu. If history is not changed, the tragedy of this nation will last until more than 80 years later.

He looked at the Polish nobles opposite him in this way, his eyes clear and serious.

After a long time, Liujic breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression gradually relaxed.

"Your Excellency is so quick to speak, I admire you." Liu Jiqi smiled bitterly, "You are so young and promising that your country's national power is rising like the sun. It is not easy for Russia to win this battle."

Zheng Yu said seriously: "My fathers in the lower world were just a small armed force in the southwest border, but they were able to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, which had millions of troops and vast land. What is the reason?"

Liu Jiqi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty of your country is wise, the generals are brave, the wise and talented, and the soldiers are good at fighting, so they can succeed."

Zheng Yu shook his head gently: "Although these are important, the most important thing is. The people of our country have been suffering from the abuse of the Qing Dynasty for a long time before they can respond to it. Only those who have gained freedom can exert their great power hidden inside. This is the people's decision on history. As long as they follow the public's wishes, the seemingly weak power can eventually defeat the seemingly powerful enemy."

Liujichi looked at him silently, his eyes gradually lit up. He finally nodded and said solemnly: "There are three questions below, and I want to ask you first."

"But it's okay!"

"First, who is yours, and can you represent your government?"

"Since your highness has any intention, what else can I say?"

Zheng Yu smiled slightly, put down his coffee, and at this moment he returned to his usual princely demeanor.

"I'm not sure about it. Here is Zheng Yu, the son of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire."

His eyes stared at the past like an eagle.

The son of the Chinese emperor!

The opposite Liujichi was completely petrified in an instant.

Zheng Yu could understand the other party's feelings. Not to mention China, an actual imperial autocratic country, it is impossible for the prince of any country in the world to disguise himself as a disguise and take risks and conduct espionage in a foreign country. There is only one explanation for this, that is, it is indeed from sincerity, and this person's loyalty and dedication to his country has reached an unparalleled height. In any case, such a move is enough to express the sincerity of a government.

After Liu Jiqi recovered from his horror, he began to look at Zheng Yu up and down with another gaze. Gradually, his eyes at Zheng Yu were already moved and admired.

There is no doubt that everything the only adopted son of the Chinese emperor has done today has deeply touched the Polish nobleman. "I had known that your highness was definitely not an ordinary person, but I really didn't expect you to visit him in person. Now it seems that the photos in the newspaper are similar to those of your highness. I guess these beards and glasses are disguised, right?"

Zheng Yu smiled and nodded.

"Since your highness comes in person, I have no doubts about your sincerity with your country." Liuji paused, "The second concern is whether your country can defeat Russia. Your Highness should know that Poland is sandwiched between Germany, Russia and Austria, and has been divided up repeatedly. Even if Russian Poland launches a revolution, these countries are close at hand. At this moment, Germany is as close as Russia, and our side is independent. Then the two countries' army will attack, and the uprising is just for sacrifice."

"This is very concerning about your highness." Zheng Yu nodded in admiration, "Please explain it below: This time the main battlefield is in the Far East, close to our hinterland, and Russia's heart is far away in Europe, so it can only transport east and west through a Siberian railway. Our country is waiting for labor, with convenient supplies and abundant troops, but the Russian army is working hard for expeditions and inconvenient transportation. This way, our army can be invincible. Your Highness should also know that our army defeated the French army and defeated the island country in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and had not suffered a single defeat for decades. With the wisdom of your Majesty, if you have no confidence in winning this battle, you have already expressed peace. As for the island country, the generals of the defeated army, the dogs of the family, and the small country, what are you worried about?"

"I am here to come here, and I will linger with His Majesty the German Emperor for a long time. Your Majesty's heart is already known. The German Emperor supports the Russians to advance eastward in just to get rid of the Russian-French alliance. At present, France's military strength is limited, and it is still acceptable to protect itself, but it is far from enough to attack Germany. If the Russian army was defeated in the Far East, I am afraid that His Majesty the German Emperor will have troops to enter Russia and Turkey and resolve the security of the East once and for all. At that time, Poland was the base of German advance, and the German Emperor needed to stabilize the rear. As long as Poland showed its determination to be independent and the people were mobilized, Germany would have to fully support Poland's founding. Even if the German Emperor did not advance to Russia, he would be willing to support Russian Poland's independence, restrain Russian troops, and enable Germany to suppress Britain and France with all its might. In my opinion, what Your Highness is worried about is nothing more than nothing."

Liu Jiqi thought for a long time and nodded slightly. However, he frowned and said, "The third concern is that the people of my country have experienced two failures of uprisings and are mostly afraid. Most nobles have those who are willing to be lackeys after being defeated by the Tsar. If you want to do a big deal, you need strong support outside and large army inside, so that the Polish people can see hope of victory. To build an army, officers, soldiers, weapons, baggage, military pay, and organization are all indispensable."

Zheng Yu smiled secretly.

"Your Highness is very worried. Here we come here to solve your highness's worries. The Polish people are so strong that they are good at fighting in Europe. There are many Polish soldiers in the Tsarist Russian army. Even the Polish people are countless retired soldiers, and the personnel are free of worries. Weapons, ammunition, funds can be solved. The specific plan will be solved in the future. Our country will have specific personnel to contact His Highness."

"My actions are not limited to a corner of Poland. Your Highness can just understand. At that time, Russia will catch fire everywhere and fall apart. Your Highness can wait for the Tsarist Russian troops to be transferred away. If you launch it in one move, why worry about not being able to succeed?"

Zheng Yu patted his chest and blew wildly, and finally took out his last killer weapon.

"Bisuski is a man of amazing talent and talent, and is definitely not a thing in the pool. Unfortunately, his vision is narrow. He wants to use the power of Austro-Hungary to restore Poland, so that Poland can join the Austro-Hungary Empire imitates Hungary, establish the new Austro-Hungary Empire that combines Austria-Hungary to Poland, and respect the Austrian Emperor. Unfortunately, such Poland is nothing more than fifty steps and a hundred steps to laugh with Russian rule. To be honest, our country has contacted this person. In the future, Your Highness will revive, and this person is Marshal Konetspolsky of His Highness (a famous Polish general who married the Miss of the Lubomiersky family), who can build a great cause for His Highness to resist Tsarist Russia. In addition, the Polish Jewish Presbyterian Church can be used as a liaison. These three forces are united, with Your Highness as the common rule, and the restoration of Poland is just around the corner!"

At this moment, Lyukic was obviously moved, but after thinking for a long time, he still looked embarrassed: "Although this is the case, it is important and I cannot be proficient in it. I also need to consult with powerful domestic people. In addition, if there is no support from Germany and Austria, even if there is your help, our country will be alone."

"It is of great importance, Your Highness must be cautious. Once the matter is leaked, it will cause a great disaster." Zheng Yu said solemnly, "My sincerity is clear at a glance. If Your Highness still cares about the front and back, he cannot say anything, so I can only find another patriot."

Lyukic's face became a little ugly.

Zheng Yu seemed to have not seen it and said solemnly: "My country has the absolute certainty to defeat Tsarist Russia. It is just that it is unwilling to delay the war and damage national strength. It does not want Russia to continue to spy on our country with a revenge after the war. Therefore, he is looking for patriots in Eastern Europe to jointly plan Russia's plan. When will His Highness start a business, it is naturally His Highness who decides himself, so why should he hesitate? As for Germany, this time in Stuttgart, he has reached a tacit understanding with the German Emperor, and in the future, Poland will be used as a buffer between Germany and Russia, and alleviate the pressure in eastern Germany."

Liu Jiqi's face changed, and she was obviously full of conflicts in her heart.

After a long time, he finally stared at Zheng Yu and asked solemnly: "What Your Highness says is true?"

"Heaven and man can learn from it!"

Zheng Yu was decisive, but he was actually worried. Although the domestic affairs of Poland agreed to him to try, it is unknown whether the blank check he wrote could be fulfilled by reality. As for the tacit understanding with Emperor De, he was actually only half right: it was Zheng Yu's half, and Zheng Yu was not clear at all. However, Zheng Yu saw through it. This diplomacy is actually no different from fooling around. Anyway, white people fight back and forth, as long as it is beneficial to their own reserve and their own empire, what's the matter for Europe to do?

Liujichi stared at him for a while, and finally said resolutely: "Since that's the case, I can't say that I'm going to do a little bit of national affairs! When your country defeated the Russian army in the Far East, it was an opportunity to make a comeback!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Zheng Yu felt relieved.

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door sounded. Zheng Yu and Liu Jiqi's hearts sank. Liu Jiqi said in a deep voice, "Come in". Ke Shan walked to Zheng Yu and whispered a few words, and Zheng Yu's face changed slightly.

Liu Jiqi looked at Zheng Yu in confusion.

Zheng Yu stared at him and said with a smile: "It seems that a guest is visiting you. It seems... it is from the military police."
