Chapter 1118 Departure, the fleet heads to Europe
The second batch of British envoys did not stay in the capital for too long.According to Charles I's vision, one of the purposes of these missions was to inform Chu Yun that they had agreed to the trade treaty, that Chinese merchants could go to London to set up a trading base, and at the same time pay taxes to the royal family to solve the financial deficit of the British royal family.Another purpose is to buy a few shipments of goods and return to Britain to get an extra income.
After Earl Compton arrived, he became very interested in the strange technology here, and proposed to Chu Yun that he wanted to introduce technology, but Chu Yun did not agree to them, but promised that he might be willing to provide them with technology in the future. technical support.How long after that is hard to say.
After completing their mission, the envoy led by the Earl of Compton took them on a tour of the capital and nearby villages, writing reports on Eastern technology and society, in order to update the West's understanding of the East.Compton realized that the west only relying on the dictation and letters of missionaries decades ago was outdated, and it was necessary to re-examine the Eastern society that was undergoing drastic changes.
It took them only one month to figure out the superficial differences from what the missionaries described in the past, but their investigations were rejected when they were in important places such as universities, factories, and government offices, which made Kang Puton even believes that there is an unknown technology behind it.
There were huge crowds of people outside the capital railway station, including directors and employees of western companies who were going to London, members of the second batch of diplomatic missions who were going to return to Britain after a short stay, and people from the capital who came to see off and watch.
"People who have nothing to do, please don't crowd here, let's go away, aren't they just Westerners, and it's not uncommon in recent years." The police in charge of security in the capital drove away ordinary people on the street.
Because there were so many ordinary people onlookers, the luggage of the envoys and merchants could not be carried into the compartment of the steam locomotive.
"Your Highness, your queen mother cares about you very much. If you get tired of staying in the east, you can ask Mr. Chu to send a boat to protect you and return to London. This is also a clause in the treaty." Earl Compton privately said before parting Said to Princess Sophia.
"My brother also specifically considered my affairs in the treaty..." Princess Sophia couldn't help feeling a little guilty and missing the British family.
"In the future, the two sides will negotiate a business agreement. It is estimated that there will be fleets traveling between the two places every year, so you don't have to worry about not being able to return to Britain, Your Royal Highness. As long as you want to return, you can also write a letter to His Majesty the King requesting to return to London." Earl of Compton Said, "After Sir Greenville returned to Britain, he once persuaded His Majesty the King to allow you to stay in the East for a longer period of time. I thought Sir Greenville and others were just alarmists, but his thoughts are reasonable. Your Royal Highness, if you can learn If you succeed, you may be able to assist His Majesty the King in leading our British people to prosperity after returning to Britain."
"I'm just a princess who loves to play tricks, it's impossible for me to take on such a heavy responsibility..." The playful Princess Sophia was somewhat self-aware, and felt helpless about Sir Greenville and others' expectations of her.
"Your Highness, don't underestimate yourself. With your ability, you may be able to get in touch with their hidden technology if you study hard," Earl Compton said.
In fact, he thought that if Chu Yun could accept Princess Sophia, it would be much easier for Britain to get in touch with technologies such as trains and steam engines.It is a pity that Chu Yun declined the marriage request entrusted by Charles I to the envoys. If British technology wants to obtain technology, it can only find ways to introduce talents or sign technology treaties.
"Hey, let's talk about this kind of thing later. I just want to live a carefree life. Studying is just to pass the time. National affairs are too far away for me." Princess Sophia sighed slightly.
Because of Chu Yun's polite refusal, Princess Sophia felt a little lost, wondering if it was because she was not attractive enough.As for state affairs, she didn't take part in them when she was in Britain before, she just took care of her own people out of her status as a British princess.
The Earl of Compton told Princess Sophia to learn oriental technology, and Li Jinde, who was about to leave for Europe, was also instructing Aunt Li and Selina about their family affairs.
"Mother, you usually buy more delicious food. We are no longer poor peasants in the Fuzhou countryside. We don't need to be too frugal. The health is the most important thing. Selina, Yinger, please take care of me... If I have There are three longs and two shorts, and my mother will also ask you to take care of it." Li Jinde said to the two.
"Bah, you said something unlucky, quickly spit it out and said it again. Mother Mazu will bless you all with a smooth journey!" Aunt Li scolded softly.
"Mother is right, nothing will happen to you. If you see my parents, please give this letter to them separately." Selina handed the two family letters to Li Jinde, with slender letters on the covers of the letters. The letters in English letters read the names of Lord Greenville and his wife.
In order to be able to break into the British businessman group, Li Jinde also learned basic English communication while Sarina was pregnant.
"I will make a special trip to visit the two of them. It is best to make them reconcile." Li Jinde took Sarina's letter.
"Please." Selina said.
In addition to Li Jinde and others, directors and employees of other Western companies are also saying goodbye to their families.They were all informed that the voyage might be in danger.Fortunately, these directors and employees were former maritime merchants and sailors in the southeast coastal area. They have a basic understanding of the sea and are prepared for danger every time they sail.
"The industrial locomotive is about to start, everyone, please get on the train!" The man in the uniform of the train driver opened the iron door of the cockpit and got on the train, pulling the whistle.
"You must take good care of yourself..." Selina couldn't help but embraced Li Jinde in front of everyone, and said reluctantly.
"Okay, I should go, just wait for me to come back." Li Jinde let go of his hand.
"Hmm..." Selina nodded.
The British envoys and the directors of the western company boarded the car under the guidance, and Li Jinde waved goodbye to Aunt Li, Selina and his little daughter outside the car window.
Woo! ! !The huge steam locomotive head boiler emits black smoke, steam diffuses from the base, and the steel wheels start slowly.
"Why do I always have a bad premonition..." Selina watched Li Jinde's steam locomotive leave with tears, feeling uneasy in her heart.
The daughter in her arms has only been born for more than a month. If something happens to Li Jinde, Selina can't imagine how she will spend it in the future.
