Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1559 Chu Yun's Support

"Queen Sophia's decision to return to London is a good thing for us nobles and commoners in England, Scotland, and Ireland... By the way, the towns here are too clean, and there are people cleaning the streets every morning. It is hard to imagine such an advanced civilization existing in the East."

The English envoys were only interested in visiting the capital after Princess Sophia agreed to return to England.

Beijing was the first place to implement the Sanitation Regulations. Workers were responsible for cleaning the streets every morning to prevent sanitation problems caused by horse-drawn carriages.

"It is said that their government hires workers to clean the streets every day and provide public services to the citizens. Should our council set up a similar sanitation agency to provide services to the citizens? If it needs to be established, then we need to collect more taxes from the citizens, and I don't know if ordinary citizens will realize that this kind of service is necessary?"

"There are also the principles of newspapers, trains, and telegraphs. I'm afraid we have to send people to study them. These are very important things."

"It's no wonder that their army is so elite. It turns out that there is such a strong national power behind it, which is daunting. Perhaps it will be more in line with our British interests to support Queen Sophia on the throne."

When the English envoys visited the capital, they praised the new things that appeared, as if they had come to a new world.

Many machines and goods that should not have appeared in the 17th century are here in the ascendant.

In addition to horse-drawn carriages, there are human-powered tricycles and bicycles on the streets, and wooden poles are lined on both sides, and wires transmit the electricity provided by the thermal power station outside the city to the city.

It is said here that it is the 17th century, but in fact there are already prototypes of the 19th century, but the number of masonry buildings is still relatively small, and many of them are civil buildings.

"Sophia, do you really want to return to London?" Chu Yun confirmed her thoughts to Sophia again.

"Well, when I was a little princess, my father and my brother were very protective of me. Even if I set fire to the earl's beard, they would block me. Now they are gone, and there is no one in the royal family anymore. , I have to return to the city of London, otherwise there will be no one to lead the people of England, Scotland and Ireland." Sophia also looked a little tangled, and when she made her decision, her tone was trembling.

"I will let the squadron of the Fourth Fleet and the new ironclad ship escort you back to London, and the new steamship should be able to launch. In addition, Ayla will organize an intelligence team from the intelligence department to secretly protect your safety and avoid You will be assassinated when you return to the city of London. After all, after you become the Queen of the United Kingdom, you will easily fall into a power struggle with the Parliament and disputes with other countries in the European continent. It is hard to guarantee that no one will use the next Useful means." Chu Yun was kind to Sophia, and provided her with a secret guard.

If the British Parliament provided the guards for the royal family, Chu Yun would not feel relieved at all. It would be better for her to be protected by his own people.

Moreover, with the power of the Intelligence Department, it is undoubtedly very difficult for someone who wants to harm Sophia to infiltrate such an independent intelligence agency.

"If something happens in the future, Mr. Chu, will you still support me?" Sophia hesitated, "My brother's talent is much better than mine, even if the United Kingdom will fall into civil strife, if I were to manage the two kingdoms, I'm afraid it will cause even more trouble. Big upheaval."

"You don't have to worry about that, even if you crash over there and offend everyone, the worst thing is to go back to the capital." Chu Yun didn't care.

Isn't it just millions of people?Even if Sophia turned the place upside down, Chu Yun believed that he could solve the trouble.In the worst case, Chu Yun just gave up Britain, the bridgehead in Europe, and looked for other partners.

In short, as long as there is nothing wrong at home, who cares what kind of storms are caused overseas?
In Sophia's view, Chu Yun's strong self-confidence is the greatest encouragement to her.

No matter if she caused big storms outside, Chu Yun could still rely on her, and she could return to the capital in the worst case.This is the best support for her.

"If I hadn't been fortunate enough to go to the East, I wouldn't be alive now. If I hadn't met Mr. Chu, I'm afraid I would not have found the meaning of life. All of this is God's guidance, but unfortunately I discovered it too late. This Sophia is grateful for your care for a while..." Sophia hugged Chu Yun and cried bitterly.

"There is still a period of time. Before our fleet and merchant fleet go to sea again, we need to resupply, and those who come back also need to go back to their hometowns to visit relatives. They will not leave immediately." Chu Yun can only stay with her for a while.

At this time, the distance between the East and the West was tens of thousands of miles, and at the current speed of the ship, it would take a long time to go back and forth between the East and the West, and Chu Yun could not leave the capital.So there is a good chance that this is the last time Sophia sees Chu Yun.

"If Her Highness the Princess is not allowed to live in the mansion during this period of time, otherwise the princess is too pitiful." Ella blamed herself for persuading Chu Yun to use the system to save Sophia. Now Sophia can no longer marry others, and may leave them forever .

Soon some people in the city knew that the British princess who had visited the capital for several years was going to leave this ancient city and return to a western city called London, which is the throne.They had some impressions of princesses who often messed around in the city, and they were also surprised that Western kingdoms could have women as kings.

Sophia went to the School of Biology to bid farewell to her mentors and classmates. The School of Biology held a farewell reception for her. She also received a bachelor's degree in Biology from Jingshi University.

"It's not easy for you to have achieved something in the field of bacteriology. It's a pity to leave this research field like this. However, becoming the queen of two kingdoms, if you can develop the economy, appease the people's livelihood, and encourage science, perhaps your contribution is more than that of a bacterium." Scholars must be big. Everyone has a division of labor in society, and the Queen is a task bestowed on you by God." Koch also bid farewell to Sophia at the reception and gave the student a personal microscope.

The Fourth Fleet has several sailing warships to escort the Chinese merchant ships and the English envoys back to the mainland. After resupply, they will set sail again and head to London.

In addition to the Fourth Fleet, Chu Yun also specially ordered the first-generation main ironclad ship under construction at the Imperial First Shipyard in Dalian to escort Sophia to England.

Protected by a nearly [-]-ton steam ironclad ship, Sophia is basically not in danger, and it is difficult to destroy it even in wind and rain.

And this time, the first-generation main ironclad ship will replace the pocket-sized General Fubo ironclad ship to bring new panic to the West.
