Chapter 1109: Will He Be Doomed Beyond Redemption?

William IV frowned, not wanting to say a single word.

Ever since he ascended the throne, every day had been spent in this kind of environment...

He really could not understand...

What was so good about being this king!

He would rather go to his own castle and properly raise his horses...

King...

Whoever wants to be one, let them be one!

However.

Reality naturally did not allow him to give up easily.

At this moment, William IV was originally just a spokesperson set up by this group of people. To put it bluntly, he was able to take the stage because he was obedient. The current Britain had absolutely no need for a very powerful king, and absolutely no need for someone with great talent or grand strategies.

The entire Britain was already a powerful commercial Empire.

Everyone present was pursuing maximized profits.

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by..."

"Your Majesty, you should make a decision..."

A group of people were aggressive.

William IV thought about what his confidant had told him yesterday. He sat up straight and then coughed: "I believe that our colonies are too scattered, which is actually not a good thing for Britain. Of course, those resources that make people jealous have still allowed us to seize a great deal of wealth..."

"But... the current world landscape has already begun to become complicated..."

He looked around and said indifferently: "Have you all seen the large warships from Longyan?"

The group of people's expressions changed slightly.

Yinzhou ship!

This name had been spreading like wildfire throughout Britain recently...

In the British public, people had even begun to exaggerate, drawing many behemoths and strange-looking things based on their imagination of the Yinzhou ship... This made the reputation of the Yinzhou ship grow even larger. After all, a warship capable of crushing the British Endeavour in one fell swoop was definitely not a name without substance.

William IV continued indifferently: "My lords, we still haven't figured out what kind of thing this Yinzhou ship is. I believe we should only temporarily abandon the distant Australia..."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "However, this Suez Canal..."

"Everyone, don't forget, our greatest enemy in the whole of Europe is France!"

Hearing these words from William IV, quite a few people on the spot voiced their support!

That's right!

In fact, whether it was Longyan or Australia, they were both so far from Britain! Although the current Britain's colonial footsteps had already reached Africa and America...

But Australia was still a completely unknown place to them!

They had only just been stationed in Australia for a short time before they were kicked out.

Then...

Instead of continuing to send large armies to conquer this place, it would be better to turn back and continue managing their European continent! After all, their base camp was here, and the base camp of Catholicism was here.

"Your Majesty's meaning is..."

"We should also reorganize the army and prepare to fight for Suez?"

"Or is it that..."

William IV, becoming somewhat excited himself, stood up and waved his hand: "We must take down the French army and Suez all at once!"

The whole room went silent at once.

These Nobles rubbed their temples one by one.

Take it all down?

Good heavens, this tone was truly not small.

But...

The current powerful Britain seemed to still have some possibility of success...

Thinking about it this way...

All of a sudden, they had completely forgotten about Australia.

Profit!

These people had only profit in their eyes!

Liu Zheng heard Jiang Xuan's words, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

He nodded slowly.

He waved his hand.

In fact, he had been calculating this matter for the past few days.

Since he intended to drag the entire Tsarist Russia into the vortex of war, he had to be prepared for a long-term battle. But if there was a long-term battle here, more of his energy should be placed on the European side. Suez, the Suez Canal, was the top priority. He naturally would not worry about Ling Chen's command and combat ability, and with the soldiers from India, he did not have to worry about having no one to fight.

What he was worried about was still Britain and France.

Even countries like the Netherlands, Sweden, and Poland had the capital to come and cause trouble.

Of course.

The most important ones were still Britain and France.

These two behemoths were the ones Liu Zheng least wanted to clash with directly. However, as long as he wanted to take Suez, this was an unavoidable conflict.

Britain...

Liu Zheng took a deep breath.

This time, he arranged three teams.

One, to bypass Kuye Island and head to Siberia to find the Chukchi...

One, naturally, to head to America!

The American Revolutionary War will probably happen soon... This matter will surely give Britain a headache, and even drag France into it... Since that is the case, why shouldn't he go and catalyze this event? The American Revolutionary War has a very profound influence on the entire history of mankind...

Liu Zheng does not mind getting involved.

He does not mind pouring oil on the flames for the people of the American continent...

Additionally, the final team is, naturally, heading to France...

It can be said that in the years following the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolution will be another event that shocks the whole world. The Bourbon Dynasty will collapse suddenly and unexpectedly in this great revolution. And after the French Revolution, another century-level big shot will emerge...

Napoleon...

Liu Zheng gave a bitter smile.

All these matters have piled up together.

It's getting interesting.

The world is really getting interesting...

Returning to the mansion.

After Xie Tianyao passed away, Liu Zheng had long since stopped staying at the Post House, because he had rendered meritorious service in protecting the posthumous edict, and Xie Ming had immediately bestowed upon him a large mansion in Jinghua. Liu Dahao, along with those houseboys, servants, and maids, had also moved in.

"Dad has to go back to Liangzhou!"

Just as Liu Zheng walked in, Liu Dahao said excitedly.

"Ah?"

Liu Zheng was a bit bewildered.

There are so many things in Jinghua that haven't been settled yet: the new emperor's ascension, Xie Tianyao's State Funeral, the formal establishment of the parliament, and so on and so forth—everything is waiting to be done, and you want to return to Liangzhou?

Suddenly, Liu Zheng realized why and gave a bitter smile: "Is Mom about to give birth?"

"Hahahaha, exactly! The doctor sent a letter telling your father to hurry back, hurry back!"

Liu Dahao was so excited.

Liu Zheng was also very happy; he had been too busy lately... so busy that he had no time to accompany his parents. Moreover... his soul was not their true son, and although the bond of blood and family could not be ignored, Liu Zheng still felt it was good that they were having a second child.

Unexpectedly...

His mother was quite capable.

"Good, good, good!"

Liu Zheng laughed along, but immediately became flustered: "Dad, I don't know what kind of gift to prepare for my younger brother or sister..."

He had considered this matter before...

But as he became busier and busier, he had forgotten about it.

Liu Dahao chuckled.

He looked at Liu Zheng dotingly: "Silly child, you are doing great things. Being able to make Longyan stable and the world peaceful is the greatest gift!"

Liu Zheng felt a pang of soreness in his nose and nodded heavily.

"Dad, this letter must be delivered to the teacher; remember that!"

Liu Zheng solemnly took out a letter.

Inside it were his arrangements for the American continent and France.

"Alright!"

Liu Dahao nodded heavily.

"Then I will go back along the way..."

Zheng Yueru walked out at this moment.

Liu Zheng looked at her, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Ever since Zheng Yueru became his woman, she had coiled her hair up to signify that she was married. Everyone, of course, knew what this meant. Over the past few days, the affection between Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru had also heated up rapidly. It was just that Zheng Yueru's status really didn't make it suitable for her to stay in the Capital for long...

She was the Chief Manager of the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce; if she were not in Yintan City, the teacher would surely be exhausted.

"I'll have to trouble you, Sister Yue Ru!"

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and bowed deeply.

The next morning, Liu Dahao hadn't even packed much, and he took Zheng Yueru and impatiently boarded the Train to leave.

The due date...

Was probably in a week!

Under previous transportation conditions, it would have been impossible for him to return to Liangzhou in a week. But with the introduction of the Train, he could reach Liangzhou from the Capital in four days!

Of course.

Liu Dahao still knew what was important; since there was enough time, he would take the Train to Yinzhou first to get the national affairs settled.

Along the way, looking at the thriving Liangzhou land, the golden wheat ears and grain were dazzling to the eyes.

Liu Dahao felt even more incredibly proud of his son.

"Lord Liu!"

"My Lord!"

"Your Highness!"

When he arrived at Yintan City, a group of people was already waiting there, calling him by various titles.

Liu Dahao laughed heartily, not minding at all.

Before he was enfeoffed as a Prince, he was very easygoing, and everyone called him Prefectural Governor; now that he was a Prince, he still felt uncomfortable when others called him Your Highness.

"Where is the teacher?"

"Sir!"

Qing Yangshuo was also pushed out by Hu Xi'er.

In the span of a few years, Qing Yangshuo seemed to have aged; there were more white hairs on his head, and a few wrinkles had appeared on that peerless face.

"Sir..."

Liu Dahao's eyes turned red at the sight.

Zheng Yueru also hurried over.

Qing Yangshuo smiled faintly, his expression calm and indifferent: "It has been a long time since you, my lord, visited Yintan City; you have grown even more prosperous..."

"Sir must also take care of your health!"

Liu Dahao sighed and pushed his wheelchair himself.

Zheng Yueru and Hu Xi'er followed behind him.

"With Yue Ru back, I can worry less."

Qing Yangshuo felt the concern from this prince and chuckled.

Then, without waiting for Liu Dahao to speak: "With the consort about to give birth, the prince did not rush back to Liangzhou, but instead came to Yintan City; it was the young master who sent a letter, wasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dahao immediately gave a bitter smile: "Sir is truly brilliant and calculating..."

He hurriedly took out the letter and paused: "Sir, the matter Zheng has stirred up this time, truly, will he not be beyond redemption?"
