The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven Chapter 86

Prussia did not take advantage of the sudden torrential rain this time. The Elbe River flooded and flooded several towns. This year, Prussian agriculture is likely to suffer heavy losses. The drought and the current flood may even cause crop failure in some areas.

The flood rushed through Vienna and went straight downstream, which was a pain for the Hungarians. Although the Hungarians opened the sluices at the first time, the flood directly washed away the embankments on both sides of the river, and wantonly changed the flow direction on the Hungarian Great Plain.

Serbia in the lower reaches of Hungary also suffered heavy losses, and the Danube River Basin was wailing.

The worst place in Eastern Europe is Poland. Since many cities in Poland are built along rivers, the flood destroyed many cities.

The attitude of the Russians is to ignore it completely, and even prepare to increase taxes to completely eliminate the Polish nobles.

This natural disaster is just the right time for Russia. Not only can it weaken the strength of the Polish nobles, but it can also make a fortune. The Poles, French, and Prussians are all waiting for Russia's food.

Whether it was the drought or the flood in 1838, the impact on Russia was very small. The only thing that worries the Tsar now is his eldest son, Alexander.

Alexander liked to be promiscuous everywhere, and the reputation of being volatile had spread in Europe, and Nicholas I felt powerless.

Alexander recently arrived in the UK, and as soon as Alexander arrived in the UK, he saw crowds of people celebrating on the pier.

At first Alexander thought it was a welcome ceremony held by the British, but in fact it was the dock workers who were celebrating. The queen had promised the people that they would limit working hours and pay double for any form of overtime.

Alexander immediately stated that if he waited for him to ascend the throne, he must also implement a twelve-hour working system.

Alexander expressed his love for Victoria the first time he saw her. In fact, the two are about the same age, and Alexander is only one year older than Victoria.

Alexander's absurd behavior did not arouse Victoria's dissatisfaction, but the queen praised Alexander for his humor.

The British officials were terrified, and they must not let these two messy guys be together, otherwise Britain will be finished.

Alexander's crazy behavior soon spread to St. Petersburg, and Tsar Nicholas I demanded that Alexander be brought back to Russia to avoid further embarrassment.

When the St. Petersburg envoy arrived in London, Alexander tied the tsar's envoy with his entourage and threw them into the Thames, causing the latter to resign in anger.

However, Alexander's absurd journey was not over yet. When he saw Queen Victoria again, Alexander directly folded a red rose in the queen's garden and used it to propose to the queen.

The handsome and aggressive prince is always easy to win the hearts of girls, even for the Queen of England who has just turned nineteen.

Seeing that the two were about to spark, British officials and Alexander's entourage stopped it all.

In fact, some British officials quite support the combination of the Queen and Alexander, so that it is possible to unite the two most powerful countries in the world and avoid war.

If Britain, which has the world's strongest fleet, and Russia, which has the world's strongest army, unite, they will be invincible.

However, most officials are worried that the tsar will kill people indiscriminately. I heard that the tsar likes to eat brains, especially Jewish ones. British constitutional government ruined?

Although the British officials didn't know whether the tsar liked to eat people, they knew very well that the tsar would kill people.

In fact, the conflict between two world hegemons cannot be resolved by marriage. It can only be resolved by one party defeating the other, or by dividing the sphere of influence and implementing a short-term peace.

Victoria rejected Alexander, but Alexander was not discouraged. He accompanied the queen every day on horseback riding, hunting, and dancing.

Victoria also enjoys this feeling of being pursued, which is at least happier than her pursuing others.

The two often hang out on the dance floor and also participate in parades together.

One day in the queen's manor, when the stubborn queen refused the servant to provide her with stirrups, she found that she could not climb the tall white horse.

At this time Alexander said nothing, picked up Queen Victoria, and put her on the horseback.

Alexander's behavior made the British officials present want to drive this guy out of the UK immediately.

However, the queen sent an invitation to Alexander, inviting him to live in the queen's castle.

Alexander even publicly announced that he would relinquish the status of Russian crown prince, which made British officials feel like an enemy.

The servants and maids in Windsor Castle were told that they must always report the movements of Alexander and Queen Victoria, and that all secret passages in the castle must be blocked to prevent them from doing anything.

In the end, Russian envoys entered Windsor Castle with the Queen's consent. They tied Alexander who was still asleep into rice dumplings and prepared to take them back to Russia.

The queen watched the carriage slowly drive away from the window, and a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

Maybe she was thinking that it would be nice if she wasn't the queen, maybe she could be with the one she loves, but the Queen of England has no right to choose, she must be a cold political animal.

The contradiction between Britain and Russia competing for world hegemony cannot be reconciled ~www.mtlnovel.com~ There will inevitably be a war between the two countries. Even if Alexander gave up the Russian throne, as a member of the Romanov family, he wouldn't like a family's enemy, would he?

After all, Alexander returned to Russia. He hated the Russian court, but he couldn't help it. It was his home. He hated the autocratic tsar, but he couldn't help it. It was his father.

Fate seemed to make him accept all this, but Alexander did not want to give in. The relationship with Queen Victoria was just an episode in his life, and soon he fell in love with someone else again.

Chenla, Kampson.

In the battle at the beginning of 1837, 1,300 Chenla puppet troops were captured. Those who were able-bodied were left as coolies, and the others were sent to mines for mining.

In fact, Poundsun is adjacent to the Xiangshan Mountains, and there are really many mineral deposits, such as copper, iron, manganese, zinc, lead, phosphoric acid, lime, and even red and sapphire mines, but there is only a lack of coal, so I want to develop large-scale here. Industry is almost impossible.

But small factories could still be built, and the Austrians built a small arsenal here, a smelter and a steelworks just to keep Poundson running while reducing costs.

At this time, the only goods that Chenla can provide to Austria are copper, ruby, sapphire, and high-quality wood. As for the rubber trees planted, it will take many years to tap the rubber.

Because of this, the Austrian imperial government has little interest in this place, and only the church will spare no effort to develop such a place.

Even if it is the church, Franz has to draw big pies for them every day, saying that it is adjacent to Siam in the west and Vietnam in the east, and has a bright future. They are filling the gap of Catholicism in Southeast Asia.
