Leibniz was born in Leipzig and was already fifty years old. His grandfather worked in the Saxony conquest for three generations. His father was a professor of ethics at the University of Leipzig. He passed away at the age of six, leaving Leibniz with precious wealth - a private library.

He graduated from the University of Leipzig at the age of 20. He focused on law in school, but he had in-depth research on philosophy. After graduation, he published books on philosophy.

Leibniz was once used as a strategic weapon. In the French-Dutch War twenty-four years ago, the Holy Roman Empire sent him to France, believing that with his knowledge and influence, Louis XIV's interest in the lowlands could be shaken and instead colonize Egypt, but this plan was not successful.

But Leibniz himself was familiar with the French cultural knowledge circle in Paris and met many mathematicians. He began to be addicted to mathematics and, like Newton, invented calculus individually.

Leibniz himself has a deep attainment in mathematics and philosophy, and has many connections with China. When he traveled to Italy, he met some missionaries who had been to China. When Chinese mathematics was spread to Europe, Leibniz was surprised to find that many of the mathematical symbols were similar to those he created. This made him more interested in the Supreme Emperor in China who promoted the development of mathematics.

Leibniz has been studying things related to China more than a decade ago, and has established a connection with the Chinese intellectual community through Spinoza, another foreign philosopher who had close contact with the Chinese Academy of Sciences at that time.

For a period of time, Leibniz worked in a silver mine in Germany, committed to improving windmills and improving the efficiency of pumping groundwater, which delayed a lot of time. The Imperial Academy also specifically requested the ambassador to Lisbon to arrange for people to send two steam pumps for this matter.

The latest exchange between the two sides occurred four years ago, when the Royal Society of England issued a statement saying that Newton was the first inventor of calculus and had the right to invent calculus. More than a dozen mathematicians from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, especially Li Yunmei, who came from the royal family, sent letters to the UK and Leibniz himself, declaring that who was the first inventor of calculus was nowhere to be verified, because both of them invented calculus independently. However, Newton's flow-number symbols were far less than the mathematical symbols invented by Leibniz.

The Empire announced that it would adopt mathematical symbols improved from Leibniz. Even the Supreme Emperor Li Mingxun wrote a letter to inform Leibniz that the symbols used in Chinese mathematics were from some mathematical works and drafts that flowed out of Germany, and it is very likely that those drafts came from Leibniz. He also stated that if Leibniz needed patent fees and other similar fees, the Empire was willing to pay at its discretion.

Leibniz did not choose to do it, but wanted to express his desire to increase communication. He also wrote the book "The History and Origin of Calculus" and sent it to Li Mingxun, introducing his ideas for establishing Calculus, and analyzing the Calculus founded by Newton.

At least one thing is certain that Newton and Leibniz did discuss the issue of calculus in their correspondence, but neither of them told each other their own methods, so they each created calculus independently.

Leibniz's book introduces that the two people's calculus belongs to different systems. Newton started from physics, used geometric methods to study, and combined with kinematics in application, and surpassed Leibniz's theoretical attainments. Leibniz started from geometric problems, introduced the concept of calculus with analytics, and derived the algorithm, and his mathematical rigor and systematicity exceeded Newton's.

After the book was sent to the Empire, it was published immediately. Leibniz's attitude was also recognized by the imperial scientific community. In the latest revised imperial textbook, Leibniz's story was also written as an after-class story, becoming a household name in the Empire.

For Prussia, Leibniz is indeed a suitable representative. He even understands the traditional Chinese "Book of Changes" and "Gossip". Leibniz is not without shortcomings. Like Newton, he also studies theology and religious beliefs, but he is also different from Newton.

Newton's definition in the Chinese scientific community is a mathematician, and the Chinese scientific community adheres to materialism. Scientists with religious beliefs are linked to charlatans, which is despised by everyone. But Leibniz is different. He is a mathematician, but also a philosopher. In this era, both China and Europe, philosophers cannot do without the study of theology. Leibniz's belief was actively understood by Chinese scientists as the need to study philosophy.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether the facts are like this. Leibniz already has a label in China - a mathematician, philosopher, and a gentleman with a scientific spirit.

Bohad was very satisfied with William Old. In fact, the Grand Duke of Prussia in front of him was completely different from when he first succeeded to the throne.

Bohad still remembers that Prussia had first conducted commercial cooperation with China, and a large amount of funds were used by the Dagong family to purchase various luxury goods produced in China, from exquisite silk, porcelain to spices, and tea. At that time, the Dagong also attached importance to education, but the schools they built were all related to art.

At that time, the Grand Duke had only two ideas, one was to turn his title from the Grand Duke to the king, and the other was to change the image of Prussia as barbaric and backward in the eyes of Europeans. The Grand Duke is now extremely pragmatic, and he firmly believed that only power can bring everything he wanted, and those fancy things have been left behind by him.

Saxony, Dresden.

Augustus stood on the terrace of the palace and watched the Chinese businessman Xu Bang slowly come in from the garden by carriage. He found that the Chinese businessman was sitting with his eyes closed, without any indication. Augustus's face turned pale and was very unhappy about it.

Although his palace is not as big as Versailles, it has the prosperity of Versailles and is more prominent in the artistic atmosphere. However, this Chinese businessman did not like, envy, or care at all, which made Augustus feel offended.

If it were before, he would definitely have the guards to drive the Chinese merchant out. But this time, the gifts brought by the Chinese merchant were much needed, and there was also a large amount of loans and cooperation in military affairs, which were closely related to his Polish throne.

Suddenly, Augustus felt Xu Bangyan move for a moment, and he quickly stretched out his head to look at it, and found that this guy was just covering his mouth with a handkerchief, which was very disgusting.

"Chinese businessman, the gift you brought is very good, but you are not a good person." The tall Augustus stood in front of Xu Bangyan and said.

"Your Excellency, Saxony is awesome, but the cities and palaces here are really disappointing." Xu Bangyan also showed no politeness. He came this time, not so much about business, but rather about diplomacy on behalf of the empire. Saxony, who is in the inland area, originally had little economic exchanges with the empire.

"I promised to summon you, are you so rude?" Augustus asked.

Xu Bangyan chuckled: "I am here this time, not to meet you. For our cooperation, you only need to send a financial official to complete it. As for diplomatic affairs, you should go to Corniesburg, where our messenger is."

"Then why are you here?"

"Look for someone."

"who?"

"We know that a Ukrainian friend is a guest of you." Xu Bangyan said.

"How did you know?" Augustus was a little surprised.

Xu Bangyan just said, "We just know, let him come out. I want to talk to him alone, otherwise he will definitely regret it, and everything he promised will become a bubble."

Augustus nodded resentfully, waved his hand and left directly. Soon, the slightly drunk Zelenko appeared in the small living room. He was drunk, but he was very nervous because he was secretly coming.

The reason why Zelenko appeared here is for his own future.

In his early years, because he received a complete education in the Empire Shenjing, he became the nominal leader of the Chinese Cossacks and the duke of the foreign vassal with the support of the empire. However, he did not get much real power, but instead devoted himself to the management of foreign workers and established the Ukrainian Workers' Brotherhood to help the Xijin local government manage foreign workers of the Slavic ethnic group. At the same time, with the support of the empire, he built an army to fight for the empire overseas.

However, his power was limited. In recent years, in Xijin, there were more than 100,000 foreign workers from Slavic ethnic group. Including their relatives, the scale has reached 300,000, which is comparable to the nationality. Some people once said that Zerenko, the president of the Ukrainian worker brother, was the master of half of Xijin.

Therefore, Pei Yuanqi split the Ukrainian Workers' Brotherhood. Zelenko is still the leader in name, but it has been divided into several different factions, and each region has its own leaders.

The army under Zelenko, who fought for the empire in the south and north, was also restricted. As long as they entered the country, they had to be disarmed and disintegrated, and they were temporarily formed when needed. This was completely contrary to Zelenko's ideal of maintaining a permanent army. After that, the empire supported the establishment of the Cossacks in the area south of the Greater Caucasus Mountains during the reform of foreign vassals, and excluded Zelenko from the outside, which made him even more disappointed with the empire.

In fact, Zelenko knew very well that when he built the Ukrainian Workers' Brotherhood, it meant that he was no longer a member of the empire. In recent years, he had been suppressed continuously. The army he founded now has two, 4,500 people, and served as garrison troops in Malta and Ceuta. In fact, it was also controlled by the empire.

In this incident of the succession of the Polish throne, Zelenko sent people to Shenjing to lobby, hoping that the empire would support him in running for the Polish throne, but was ruthlessly rejected. So Huzelenko took a detour and took the initiative to contact Augustus, the most powerful participant in the Polish throne.

The two hit it off, Zelenko had an army, and he himself had considerable influence in the Ukrainian region on the right bank, and could even provide part of the financial support, which was of great benefit to Augustus' competition for the Polish throne. Augustus agreed that after obtaining the Polish throne, he would leave an important position for Zelenko in the Polish government and make him a Polish noble.

"Mr. Zelenko, you are very disappointing." Xu Bangyan said in Zelenko's blurred eyes. Zelenko smiled coldly, not commenting, and Xu Bangyan said: "Especially disappointing His Highness Yu."

"It was the empire that disappointed me first." Zelenko shouted.

Xu Bangyan smiled: "So what? Without an empire, where can you be the one you are now? Even if you have any holidays with Lord Pei, does Your Highness Yu have something to be sorry for you?"

Zelenko became quiet for a moment, and Pei Yuanqi split the Ukrainian Workers' Brotherhood. Some methods were used in the process, and Zelenko could only bear it. The reason why he made such radical actions now is related to Pei Yuanqi's simple and crude way of handling it.

"I'm sorry to Your Highness." Zelenko whispered.

"Do you know that you left the country secretly and came to Saxony. The envoys sent by the prince have been looking for you, Suez, Malta and other places."

"What do you want me to do?"

"I'll find you to do what you're doing now," said Xu Bangyan.

Zelenko frowned: "What do you mean?"

Xu Bangyan said: "The prince sent a secret message from Shen Jing. Because he was going to Saxony, I didn't bring it with me. The prince meant that you would come forward to help Your Excellency Augustus get the Polish throne, so that you can get aristocratic status, territory and influence from Poland. The prince made all preparations for this. In Shen Jing, he helped you solve the identity problem. In Xijin, he prepared weapons and ammunition for you to expand your army. Everything was arranged, but when you disappeared, you secretly came here."

"His Royal Highness Yu really supports what I am doing now?" Zelenko couldn't believe it. His first thought was that this was a conspiracy, which was to trick himself back to Xijin and then arrest him for questioning.

But before he could test it, Xu Bangyan said, "You can send people you trust to Malta and Ceuta immediately. As long as Augustus agrees, your army can be brought to Saxony and temporarily join the army here. Originally, His Highness was planning to expand your army to 7,000 people and change into a full set of new equipment, but because he couldn't find you and missed the time, so now he can only do so."

"Are all you said true?"

Xu Bangyan had no choice but to: "Imagine the expectations of His Highness Yu when he supported you for the first time."

Zelenko's thoughts returned to ten years ago. At the beginning, the empire supported him in order to maintain the order of foreign workers. However, Li Junwei had already arranged a road for him to establish a Ukrainian nation-state in the Ukrainian region, which would neutralize part of the energy of Tsarist Russia and serve as a border barrier for the empire.
