Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 35 The Count of the Empire and the Knights of the Temple

"Our great emperor, His Majesty, fully agreed with your request, and entrusted me to sign a letter of credence with you. At the same time, in order to thank you, our great emperor, our great emperor, made an exception to worship you as the honorary earl of Germany, and leave a piece of paper for you in Berlin. Since the small fiefdom is a special case, His Excellency the Earl does not have to swear allegiance to the Kaiser, nor does he need to swear allegiance to Germany, as long as His Excellency the Earl closely follows the pace of Germany." Prince Heincily said with a smile.

"Due to the principle of confidentiality, the ceremony for your promotion to earl should be kept simple. Now let us congratulate the birth of the new earl of Germany." Prince Heincily applauded first after finishing speaking, and presented a short sword he was wearing .

"Congratulations! This is something we have never done before in Germany. From then on, we are truly our own people." Little Mao Qi seemed much more sincere, and gave Yang Xin a big hug, and at the same time put his partner gun as a gift.

Bismarck also congratulated with a smile, and gave Yang Xin his book "Thinking and Reminiscence" as a congratulatory gift.

Yang Xin understood Kaiser Wilhelm II's intentions very well, and secretly sighed that there is no eternal friendship between countries, but only eternal interests.Kaiser Wilhelm II completely tied himself to his chariot, and at the same time, he was not at all worried that his investment would be in vain.

With Yang Xin's status as the Earl of the Empire, in a sense, Yang Xin is a German. If something happens to Yang Xin, the investment of Germany will not only cause no loss, but will make a wedding dress for Germany and become a German opener. Kaiser Wilhelm II made a good plan for the opportunity of the Far East market.

They are all millennium-old foxes, and whoever can play with them has to use their own methods.

"There is another good news. We did not come here empty-handed, but brought a production line for bullets, a production line for firearms and a production line for grenades. Outside Haikou, I hope your Excellency will go to receive it." Prince Heinshili said with a smile, and casually reported an address.

Yang Xin squinted his eyes, and instantly understood that secrecy is all nonsense. This is Germany's test for himself. Let's see how Yang Xin moved the three production lines to Foshan without anyone noticing, and tested Yang Xin's understanding of all aspects. control and Yang Xin's hidden strength and power.

Yang Xin immediately sent a telegram to Elliot Charlie, asking him to find something to catch the eyes of Nalan Yuanshu, the governor of Guangzhou, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. At the same time, he sent a telegram to Jishan in Xiangdao, asking him to put down everything at hand first. For affairs, first transport the three production lines to Foshan.

Yang Xin looked calm and calm, and after arranging the affairs, he signed a "German-Chinese Strategic Mutual Assistance Treaty" with Prince Heincili, who represented Germany, in the middle of the stormy night, and the two parties' cooperation The agreement was formally written in written form, bilingual in Chinese and German, in duplicate. Prince Heinrich even stamped the seal of the empire, and stamped his own private seal on the side, and Little Moltke and Bismarck also stamped it. own private seal;

Yang Xin signed his name and pressed his handprint and the official seal of the Independent Brigade. Sun Wen also signed his name and stamped his private seal and handprint. Huang Feihong had no seal and could only sign his name and press his hand. Yin, Liang Kuan is also the same.

This treaty, which later greatly promoted China's industrialization process, was signed on such a humble occasion, and both sides got everything they wanted.

Just after dawn the next day, Prince Heincily received a telegram from his own ship, which said that a American named Jishan had found and boarded their ship, saying that he was going to the ship according to Yang Xin's order. Remove the equipment of these three production lines.

"Your Excellency the Earl is a good man. I didn't expect to be able to drive the Milikans." Prince Heinhili said with a smile. At the same time, he ordered a telegram back, agreeing to let the Milikans named Jishan transport the equipment.

According to Yang Xin's intention, Jishan broke the whole into parts and used the way of ants to move the equipment in batches. At the same time, John Elliot of the East India Company also started to look for trouble after receiving Yang Xin's telegram. , Focusing the eyes of officials of all sizes such as Nalan Yuanshu, the governor of Guangzhou, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, on himself, and indirectly gave Jishan a divine help.

Prince Heincily and his group also watched the training of the soldiers in the barracks with great interest, while waiting for the arrival of the equipment. As a result, the equipment did not arrive, but a group of Britons arrived instead.

The group of Britons went straight to Yang Xin's barracks under the leadership of a bishop, and then were stopped by the guards forcefully. Prince Heincily and others took advantage of this and hid quickly, watching carefully from the sidelines.

"Hi, Yang, we meet again." The head bishop gave Yang Xin a big hug when he saw Yang Xin. Priests like Yang, what about your promise? Have you built our church yet?"

Yang Xin suddenly remembered that when he was in the British Consulate in Guangzhou, he had fooled the bishop and asked him to help find some professionals who were proficient in various professions on the grounds of building a church. Bishop still remembers.

"George Gilbert, you can call me Archbishop George, Yang, I am now the Archbishop, in charge of the entire Guangdong and Guangxi region." Archbishop George seemed very excited.

"Your church is ready-made, and I have already planned your parish. As for the decoration of the church, I believe you like to design it yourself." Yang Xin said.

Yang Xin changed his mind, and directly allocated a former Shahe Gang's residence on the edge of Foshan City to Bishop George. The so-called church is just a cross on the roof. As for the interior decoration, let them do it themselves.

Without further ado, Bishop George took Yang Xin and a large group of priests behind him to the parish that Yang Xin had planned for them. Although the resident was near Foshan City and had been abandoned, the original structure still existed. It is also very strong, and the most important thing is that it is large enough.

Bishop George and his party expressed their satisfaction.

"Yang, there is another good news! Do you remember what you once said to me? We are all God's sinners, the new argument for the existence of the Creator, and your help to us. I wrote to the headquarters and passed the headquarters It was unanimously recognized that Your Excellency has been of great help to us, and the headquarters decided to designate Your Excellency as a Knight of the Temple from the East. Yang, please kneel down on one knee." Bishop George pulled out a long sword from nowhere.

The guards guarding Yang Xin immediately raised their guns as if facing an enemy.

"Put down the gun." Yang Xin shouted coldly.Yang Xin could clearly see that the sword in Bishop George's hand was only for decoration and could not break through his own defense at all.

"Yang, since you are from the Qing Dynasty, keep everything simple." After Bishop George finished speaking, he tapped Yang Xin's shoulder three times with his sword, and then said, "Read with me."

"Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul!
In the face of a strong enemy, fearless, courageous and loyal, worthy of God, loyal and upright, would rather die than surrender, protect the weak, no violation of heaven!
I swear to be kind to the weak; I swear to be brave against violence; I swear to fight all mistakes;
I swear to fight for the defenseless; I swear to help anyone who asks me;

I swear to harm no woman; I swear to help my brother knight;

I swear to be true to my friends; I swear to my loved ones until death! "

"Licheng! From now on, Yang, you are the Knight of the Templar of my church." Bishop George said with a smile, and solemnly placed a sword and a "Bible" in Yang Xin's hands.

"Currently the clergy are as shameless as politicians? A shitty Knight of the Temple, to put it bluntly, isn't he just a thug?" Yang Xin rolled his eyes.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Yang Xin's mind.
