    "The princess of King Ludwig III of Bavaria?" Wang Yuze finally figured out that after a long time, it was someone else's daughter who came to marry!  No wonder William II doesn't care so much.  Information about Ludwig III immediately appeared in Wang Yuze's mind.  In other words, he is not the king of Bavaria yet, he can only be regarded as the heir to the king of Bavaria.  Because King Ludwig II of Bavaria was declared insane and incapable of official duties by the Bavarian government, Ludwig III's father, Prince Luitpold, was appointed regent.  Prince Liutpod is now eighty years old.  Therefore, the next King of Bavaria will undoubtedly be Ludwig III.

    This request made by Kaiser Wilhelm II put Wang Yuze in a bit of a dilemma.  With five wives, he was very satisfied.  The empire's harem is now very harmonious, and he is very satisfied with this.  Although there have been voices among the people saying that there are too few bloodlines in the royal family, they have asked Wang Yuze to draft a number of women to increase the number of bloodlines in the royal family.  But Wang Yuze never agreed.  The fear is that when there are too many people in the harem, conflicts will arise due to various interests, thus destroying the harmony of the harem.

    "His Majesty the Kaiser, can you change your request? As long as China and Germany sign a secret agreement, then we will be the closest allies, and there is absolutely no need for a marriage!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Your Majesty the Emperor of China, I promise that all the daughters of Ludwig III are as beautiful as flowers and will not let you down. Also, I know. There are no restrictions in this area in the Eastern Empire. The emperor can marry as many as he wants.  Many wives. Please believe that the German Empire is really willing to form the closest alliance with China!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said.  His meaning was very clear. If Wang Yuze did not agree to the marriage, then the secret agreement between China and Germany would probably be shelved.

    Wang Yuze frowned.  It took a lot of effort for him to get to where he is today, and he really doesn't want to give up just because of this.  If there were no Germany to contain Britain and France, although China would not necessarily be defeated, it would definitely pay a heavy price.  By then, it will not be so easy for China to become the only superpower in the world.  For this reason, Chinese soldiers may pay millions more.

    "Your Majesty, I think that if we can make peace with Germany, it will be more conducive to strengthening the relationship between China and Germany. Your Majesty only has one queen and four concubines. Among the emperors in the past dynasties, this is already considered a small number! Your Majesty should definitely agree.  This is a marriage!" Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang suggested.

    "Your Majesty, I also agree with peace with Germany!" Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo also said.

    Wang Yuze hesitated for a moment, and then said: "His Majesty the Kaiser, I will think about it and give you an answer tomorrow!"

    "Of course, His Majesty the Emperor of China! Making peace with Germany is very beneficial to both our countries!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said with a smile.

    After returning to his residence, Wang Yuze was a little angry.  William II's request made him feel coerced.  Although Germany may not have other thoughts, this feeling of being forced made him very angry.  If China has the strength to challenge the whole world, he really wants to go back to China without signing this bullshit secret agreement.  Anyway, the conflicts between the Allies and the Entente are not so easy to reconcile.  However, don¡¯t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected!  If the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers really reach an agreement and then join forces for the Eastern Expedition, then China will probably have to use all its national strength to ensure that it will not be destroyed.  And it is even more impossible for China to become the world's most powerful country and the world's hegemon.

    "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Did the negotiation not go well?" I don't know when Queen Xiong Menghan came to Wang Yuze's side. Looking at Wang Yuze's frowning brows, her tender little hands gently lifted Wang Yuze's wrinkled forehead.  The brow is smoothed.

    "It's okay! The negotiation went smoothly, but William II made a rude request!" Wang Yuze glanced at the queen and said with a smile.

    "A rude request? What is it?" Xiong Menghan asked.

    Wang Yuze hesitated for a moment, and then said: "William II asked for peace with China! Otherwise, he would not agree to sign a secret agreement with China!"

    "Marriage? Is it the little girl of William II? She is only nine years old. However, in a few years, she should be a beauty. At least it is too hasty to get married at such a young age?" Queen Xiong Menghan said.

    "What are you talking about? It's not Victoria Louise, she is the daughter of the future King of Bavaria, Ludwig III. Menghan, aren't you angry?" Wang Yuze asked strangely.  No matter how generous a woman is, after hearing this news, I am afraid she willYou will be happy!  However, Xiong Menghan's reaction made Wang Yuze a little strange.

    "The German Queen Augusta Victoria has already tested me, but I didn't expect that she is the daughter of the King of Bavaria. Since the Germans ask for a marriage, then let them agree! Anyway, we won't suffer,  And it¡¯s also good for the country!¡± Queen Xiong Menghan said.

    "Ah? Aren't you angry?" Wang Yuze was very strange.  Women are really strange creatures.

    "What are you angry about? His Majesty is the emperor of the empire. It is very rare to have just a few wives like us. Now the important ministers of the empire and the wealthy businessmen have many wives and concubines! Your Majesty  There are only a few of us, and I don¡¯t know how many people in the world say that we are jealous wives! It just so happens that His Majesty is getting married to Germany, which can also be considered as enriching the harem!" Xiong Menghan said with a smile.

    Wang Yuze was speechless. Xiong Menghan's performance made him not sure whether to be happy or angry.  It seems that monogamy will still have to be implemented in the empire in the future.  At most, you are allowed to have one wife and one concubine!  Of course, the prerequisite is that you have enough ability to support yourself.

    "Your Majesty, who is the Bavarian princess who is marrying you? What does she look like? How old is she? What is her name?" the queen asked fiercely.

    "How do I know? But I heard that the future King of Bavaria has several daughters. I don't know which one they are!" Wang Yuze shook his head and said, how could he care about this?

    "Your Majesty, how about I choose one for you! A woman who can enter the royal family must be qualified regardless of appearance or conduct!" Xiong Menghan said.

    "Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Wang Yuze said.  Anyway, Xiong Menghan is the queen, and she manages the entire harem of the empire. She personally selected it, so there is nothing wrong with it, and it can be regarded as compensation for her debt.

    Wang Yuze agreed to the marriage, which would be much easier.  The next day, a secret agreement between China and Germany was signed!

    On the morning of March 6, under the witness of a number of important ministers from China and Germany, Chinese Emperor Wang Yuze and German Emperor Wilhelm II signed their names on the secret agreement.  From now on until the end of the next war, China and Germany will be the closest allies.

    The secret agreement stipulates a lot of content, such as the sharing of advanced technology between the two parties, China selling various resources to Germany at preferential prices, once the war breaks out, the two sides will jointly defeat the Allies, and how the post-war interests will be roughly divided, etc.  The signing of this secret agreement marked that China and Germany were officially tied to the same chariot.  And, I am not afraid of going back on my word.  If either China or Germany announces the contents of the secret agreement, the Allied Powers will probably be wary of both countries and regard them as their main enemies.  Therefore, China and Germany can only unite.

    After the secret agreement was signed, William II told Wang Yuze that two days later, he would hold a banquet at Sanssouci Palace, which would be attended by kings, grand dukes and nobles from various German states.  The future King of Bavaria, Ludwig III, will also bring several of his unmarried daughters to attend, and one of those daughters will be a candidate for marriage with Wang Yuze.  You should know that Ludwig III had nine daughters. The unmarried daughters, from the twenty-year-old fourth daughter Hildegard to the ten-year-old Gundelinde, can all be candidates for marriage.  The prerequisite is that Wang Yuze must do it!

    The Kingdom of Bavaria is the most important state in southern Germany. After Prussia defeated Austria and obtained the inheritance of Germany, the Kingdom of Bavaria fell to Prussia.  Later, during the Franco-Prussian War, the army of the Kingdom of Bavaria, led by the Crown Prince of Prussia, participated in the war against France.  Now, the Kingdom of Bavaria is still Prussia's strongest supporter.

    Now, the ruler of the Kingdom of Bavaria is the Regent Prince Liutpod. However, Prince Liutpod is already eighty years old. Many national affairs are handed over to his son, the successor of the Kingdom of Bavaria, Lu.  Derwig III decides.  When China and Germany signed a secret agreement, William II personally sent a telegram to Prince Liutpod, which described the benefits that China and Germany would bring to Germany.  He also hoped that Prince Liutpod would put the interests of Germany first and agree to peace with China.

    Prince Liutpod immediately summoned Ludwig III, who was in charge of the government.

    "His Majesty the Emperor wants to make peace with the Chinese, and the candidate for the marriage is one of your daughters. What do you think of this matter?" Prince Liutpod asked.  Although he is old, he is still very wise.

    "Father, can we refuse?" Ludwig III asked.

    Prince Liutpod shook his head.

    "Since we can't refuse, we have no choice but to agree. I will immediately take my daughters to Potsdam to attend the banquet hosted by His Majesty the Emperor!" Ludwig III said.  (To be continued)
