Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 883

From the Vostok, Nelson could clearly see the Dauphin passing by, as well as some familiar-looking Britons on board.He said nothing and did not salute the Royal Navy flag.He is now fighting under another banner, and is also tasked with completing the laying of the cable work on the Western Pacific Ocean.

Perhaps his grandson, Chu Lingyun, could rule Britain.When Nelson saw the flag of the Royal Navy, he suddenly thought that his grandson had the bloodlines of the two most brilliant civilizations in the East and the West at the same time. He might be extraordinarily smart, and he might also inherit the huge power created by Chu Yun. , Will it become the co-ruler of the East and the West...

Nelson thought of this, startled by his own thoughts.There has never been such a character in history.

"The stern of this iron ship is dragging a long line... No, it is putting the long line into the sea!" Lord Greenville discovered that the giant ship Orient seemed to be doing a strange job.

"Could it be the wires that Mr. Li said?" Princess Sophia had heard Li Jinde said that the wires would be put into the sea. Seeing that Dongfang was laying cables at this time, she couldn't help thinking about it.

"It's very likely that this is a wire... My God, it can't really be a thousand miles long, right? What kind of craftsman is needed to produce a wire that is more than a thousand miles long?" Sir Greenville's scalp was numb.

"Perhaps it is the oriental power that we don't know, and their huge population, that makes it possible." Princess Sophia can only temporarily refer to steam, electricity and other cross-age things as mysterious oriental power.

Because the cable laying ship Dongfang was still slowly burying the submarine cable under the Bohai Sea, the fleet of Crown Prince passed by Dongfang soon.

The shadow of the Vostok was getting smaller and smaller, and the Royal Navy soldiers were still shocked, who knew what they had just seen.

The destination of the Dongfang fleet this time is Tianjin Wei, and then from Tianjin Wei to the capital.

Tianjin Wei had already received the telegram from Xiamen Bay Customs in advance, and it was not as hasty as Xiamen Bay Customs before, but was ready to receive the royal envoys from the other side of the ocean.

Tianjin Wei Zongbing led hundreds of soldiers to maintain order at the pier.This time, there are not only hundreds of people in the Royal Mission, but also two to 300 Royal Navy soldiers and businessmen accompanying them. It is not an easy task to arrange these people well.

"This city is called Tianjin Wei. It existed hundreds of years ago, but it only emerged recently." Li Jinde introduced this increasingly prosperous city to Sarina.

"Why is it a city that has only emerged in recent years? You also said that Xiamen City was newly emerging." Selina asked.

"Because we used to pay attention to land and canals. It was not until the military master announced that the sea ban would be abolished forever, and a large number of shipyards were set up to encourage ocean trade and transportation. The seaside cities flocked in large numbers. Xiamen Bay, Dalian Port, Tianjin Wei These are the places with the greatest income, which were far less prosperous than they are now." Li Jinde explained.

Tianjin Wei has indeed become prosperous because of the "customs station" that everyone who wants to go to the capital must go through. Among other things, all submarine cables must pass through Tianjin Wei to reach the capital. Wei began to step onto the stage of history.

Many citizens on the pier were watching the incoming Western envoys.Since Chu Yun had agreed to meet the envoys from Britain, the Kyushu Army officials had already announced the news.

The visit of the royal envoy by the king of the West, thousands of miles away, is originally an exciting thing, which can let the people know the sweetness brought about by the reform and strengthen their support for the New Deal.

"I heard that this time, a country called Britain sent their princess to meet the military leader, and their envoys are all blond-haired and blue-eyed Westerners," said a Tianjin Wei resident.

"It's not uncommon for Westerners to come to our Tianjin Wei trade. Not long ago, there were businessmen from the Netherlands who came here, and there were also Westerners in some factories. It's not surprising. Besides, they may not all be blond and blue-eyed. Some people have light yellow hair, and some have dark chestnut hair," said another Tianjinwei resident.

"What kind of country is Britain, do you know?"

"I read the report of "Kyushu Daily", it seems that a country with a population of several million in the West is a little smaller than Dongying, but their navy is far above Dongying."

The news of the arrival of the British envoy has become the talk of Tianjin Wei residents after dinner.

"Britain...does it have any connection with Lord Ayla? Will Lord Ayla be brought back to Britain?"

Wei Long came back from Dongying and just arrived in Tianjin Wei. After hearing the news, he couldn't help thinking that his immediate boss Aila seemed to be "hired" by Chu Yun from Xiyang.

"Probably not, Britain is only a small country with a few million people, and they can come to us to ask for people? Besides, Mrs. Aila has never seen her mention the Western side except for our intelligence department and the military leader. A little content." Wei Long's direct subordinate said.

"You're right. Master Aila has been in charge of the intelligence department for so many years. There is no reason why she will be taken back to Xiyang. At worst, our intelligence department will go and snatch her back," Wei Long said.

"Yes, our intelligence agency is afraid of a British king!"

The intelligence office thought that Britain was here to ask for someone. After all, the people Chu Yun summoned were here in the name of employment.

The Tianjin Guard led people to greet her at the pier, and Princess Sophia disembarked from the battleship Crown Prince wearing a gorgeous dress, attracting many residents to watch.

They have seen many Westerners, but they have never seen Westerners wearing gorgeous royal costumes. The appearance of Princess Sophia made many people marvel at the uniqueness of her costumes.

"Is that the princess of the West? It's really gorgeous. We haven't seen any princess or princess for a long time." Tianjin Wei residents said.

After all the royal relatives were deposed as civilians by Chu Yun, they never saw the princess.

"There are many servants behind her, and the scene is really big."

After Princess Sophia, Sir Willinger and other nobles, servants, and Royal Navy soldiers disembarked and entered Tianjin Wei, which guards the capital.

"A very normal city." Sir Willinger glanced at Tianjin Wei, and didn't feel that there was anything particularly shocking, but he always felt that there must be something hidden behind it.

"Street lights!" Princess Sophia noticed the street lights at Tianjin Wei Wharf at a glance this time, which was exactly the same as the street lights she saw in Xiamen Bay.
