Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 871 Royal Mission (Third Watch)

"I decided to form a royal mission to China as soon as possible!" Charles I stood up drunk and patted Li Jinde on the shoulder vigorously.

Hearing that the East is powerful, he is even more eager to become the Chu Yun of the West and also build a great empire.

Today's Britain is still unable to compete with Spain and the Netherlands!

Li Jinde was also a little overwhelmed by the extravagant banquets of the British nobles, and his head was a little dizzy. Hearing that Charles I said that he would send a royal envoy to China, he said without thinking: "If the British royal family sends an envoy, our The military lord should extend a warm welcome."

"Brother, do you want to send an envoy to the distant Eastern China? I want to be an envoy." Princess Sophia said.

"You're going to the East? Then go." The drunk Charles I was only thinking about how to become a supreme king who would influence the whole of Europe. He didn't realize that it was his sister who proposed to serve as the envoy of the Royal Mission.

Stratford was still a little sober, and hurried over to dissuade Charles I: "Your Majesty, this matter..."

"Earl Stratford, His Majesty the King has already agreed, do you still want him to go back on his word?" Princess Sophia said to Stratford.

"Don't dare..." Stratford remained silent.

The king himself really drank too much.

The extravagant banquet in the state banquet hall is still going on, and the nobles are living a corrupt life. Maybe Chu Yun will be surprised by the extravagance here.

Li Jinde and the others were entertained by Charles I. It was the first time they participated in a palace banquet. They drank too much wine that only nobles could enjoy until they vomited.

In the end, Li Jinde and others were carried away from Whitehall Palace by the servants, throwing up while walking.

The next day, Li Jinde got up from the bed with a splitting headache.

His apprentices were lying on the floor in a mess, and there was still a lot of vomit on the floor. Obviously, after the servants brought them back last night, they had another row at night.

"The stamina of this wine is really great..." Li Jinde had never drank this kind of wine in Fujian before. At first, he thought it was not as strong as white wine, but he got a headache the next day when he woke up.

"Shopkeeper, the kings and nobles of Britain are really enjoying their lives. I don't know how it compares to the banquets held by the emperors in the Forbidden City." An apprentice held his head and was also in pain after drinking.

"I haven't seen the emperor, but I don't know what the life of the emperor was like before... It's just that the military lord has closed the palace and abolished all kinds of regulations for offering sacrifices to heaven and feasting officials. It must not be such a luxury. We can With such an experience, this trip is not in vain." Li Jinde took a glass and found that it was full of cold water, so he had no choice but to drink it.

"That's right, as we are, this is the first time we have participated in a palace banquet, and it is a palace banquet in a foreign country... After we sell the silk and porcelain we brought, we must brag to those merchants when we return to Xiamen." Li Jinde came here on an adventure and gained a magical experience, which he thought was worth the money.

"Businessmen in Xiamen may not believe that we are being entertained by Western kings..." several apprentices said.

They were all confused now, as if they were in a dream, but the British-style decoration in the room let them know that it was not a dream.

"Treasurer, I seem to remember that the king of Britain plans to send a mission to return to China with us." An apprentice said.

"Really?" Li Jinde tried his best to recall what happened yesterday, but he didn't have any impression.

"I really want to remember that there was such a thing, you, the shopkeeper, agreed to them." Another apprentice said.

"If this is really the case...we are not envoys, but businessmen who come to take risks. If we bring their British envoys to China, and the military lord has no intention of summoning them, wouldn't we have lost our own country? Face...drinking is really a mistake!" Li Jinde regretted it.

How can he, an ordinary businessman, be able to bear the consequences of state-level diplomacy.

"The military master should be happy to receive their envoys..." Several apprentices said uncertainly.

"I hope so..." Li Jinde knew that it would not be easy to go back on his promise after he agreed.

If you repent now, you will lose the face of the country and bring their envoys back to China. Maybe the military leader will meet them.

"I oppose you going to the East!" Charles I roared angrily in Charles I's residence.

After he woke up, he soon regretted that he had agreed to the request of his younger sister, Princess Sophia, and Sophia insisted on being the ambassador to the East.

"You are the king of our Britain. How can you go back on what you promised in front of many nobles? I don't care. I just want to go to the East." Sophia said angrily.

"That is tens of thousands of miles away in China. It may take a year or even longer to go back and forth. There may be dangers on the way. There will be North African pirates at sea. If you are caught by them, you don't know where you will be sold. Go! Although Huaxia is the only two civilized regions like ours in Europe, I don’t know what their master’s attitude is towards us. If he covets your beauty and cuts you off, is it true that your brother Pai has already fallen? Is the Royal Fleet going to the far east to rescue you?!" Charles I tried his best to explain the difficulties on the way to Sophia.

"I don't listen, I'm going to the East anyway!" Sophia also became stubborn.

"Don't go!" shouted Charles I.

"I don't want to go to various kingdoms to meet those princes and dukes anymore. It's like a commodity that is up for sale. If you don't let me go, I will jump from here!" Sophia came to the window, became angry and said Not Charles I was cowardly.

Charles I loved his younger sister very much, and was really afraid that Sophia would be in danger.In the age of great voyages, the ocean was not so easy to conquer, not to mention that there were still many pirates haunting the sea. After some merchant ships lowered their flags, they could act as temporary pirates!

"Don't go!" Charles I roared again.

"I really jumped!" Sophia stretched half of her body out of the window.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, let you go to the East..." Under the threat of his sister, Charles I was like a deflated balloon.

"You are not allowed to go back on your word," Sophia said.

Charles I was very helpless: "I will let Sir Greenville lead the battleship Crown Prince and several merchant ships to protect you and visit China. By the way, let these merchant ships load our British goods and sell them in the east. I pray that God will make this voyage smooth. "
