Chapter 442 The Kingdom of England
Masayoshi Miyamoto continued: "I have never heard of this name, so I asked the people on the ship. They told me that the country of England is just to the west of the Pacific Ocean, and it is an island country like us. But where they have not only developed well, The military strength, especially the navy, is extremely powerful. The red-clothed cannons made by our Japanese country are, in their eyes, child's play."

Hearing that the red-clothed cannon is a child's practice in England, Emperor Yunze frowned slightly, and then laughed.

"Prime Minister, you can see the power of this red-clothed cannon. If it's for pediatrics, then what's so powerful in this world?"

Masayoshi Miyamoto clasped his hands and said: "I thought so too at that time, but the British Kingdom then introduced a new cannon to my minister, saying it was called a 'howitzer'. This new type of cannon can be loaded with two ammunition at a time, and There is also a sight on the cannon, and there is no dead angle within a kilometer. Wei Chen asked them to try it, and sure enough, they bombed the target floating in the sea with one shot."

Hearing this, Emperor Yunze couldn't sit still, stood up and walked in front of Masayoshi Miyamoto, holding his hand.

"Prime Minister, you didn't lie to me. Is this howitzer really that powerful?"

"How dare I lie to you, Your Majesty? If you don't believe me, I can invite that person here, and you will know if I am lying to you if you ask him yourself."

Emperor Yunze nodded.

Miyamoto Masayoshi resigned.

As soon as he left, Defense Minister Matsumoto stepped forward and bowed his hands to Emperor Yunze: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to say that this prime minister has spoken so badly about the English country. Is it fraudulent? I really believe in this British country." The country is really so powerful. If they are really so powerful, why do they have to be friendly with the Liang country, can they gain more benefits by relying on their own force?"

Emperor Yunze rolled a blank look at Matsumoto Isunami, but did not speak.

Ichinami Matsumoto saw Emperor Yunze's displeasure, so he didn't dare to say any more, and quietly withdrew.

Masayoshi Miyamoto led a tall man with yellow hair, blue eyes, and a hooked nose to meet Emperor Yunzawa.

This person is somewhat similar to Tie Luo, but much taller than Tie Luo.

Emperor Yunze was considered very tall in Japan, nine feet tall, but he was still very short in front of the Englishman in front of him.

"This is our Emperor His Majesty."

Masayoshi Miyamoto pointed to Emperor Yunze and introduced him to the Englishman.

The Englishman looked at Emperor Yunze, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly to Emperor Yunze as a salute.

Emperor Yunze was very puzzled seeing him like this, and looked at Miyamoto Masayoshi at the side.

"Your Majesty, this is the English way of saluting. He is saluting to you, Your Majesty."

Masayoshi Miyamoto explained.

Emperor Yunze nodded slightly, waved his hands and said: "You are welcome."

The Englishman couldn't understand the Japanese language, so he asked Masayoshi Miyamoto in Chinese: "What did your Majesty say?"

Emperor Yunze was proficient in Chinese, and said: "I tell you, you are a distinguished guest of our Japanese country, so you don't have to be so polite. Your Excellency is from England, I don't know what your status is in England?"

"Your Majesty's name in England is Jack, but I think this name is not easy to remember. When I went to the Central Plains to do business, I specially named myself Ai Hua. Your Majesty, you can call me Jack, or you can call me Jack." Call me Aihua. My family is an aristocrat of England, and I am related to Queen Elizabeth of England."

Hearing that the Englishman in front of him was an aristocrat of the English Kingdom, and he was related to the Queen, Emperor Yunze immediately took a liking to him, and invited Ai Hua to sit down with a smile on his face.

Ai Hua was not polite either, he cupped his hands towards Emperor Yunze and sat down.

"This time, when we were going to trade in the country of Liang, there was a sudden strong storm on the sea, and our ship couldn't sail at all. We just saw that you have an island here, so we immediately turned the bow and came here. Fortunately, we got there Hurry up and enter your port smoothly, or you will definitely be buried in the sea. So, this time, we are very grateful to you."

With that said, Ai Hua got up, and once again put his hands on his chest to salute Emperor Yunze.

Emperor Yunze was very satisfied with Ai Hua's attitude, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "This is a small matter. It may be God's will for distinguished guests to come to our country, so that I can get acquainted with the country of England. I heard that where your economy is developing , The military power, especially the navy is very strong, I intend to start trade with you, I wonder if your country can be the master?"

Ai Hua smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's not Ai Hua that blows. Our industry in England is very developed, and the domestic railway and road transportation are even more convenient. As for military power, there are nearly 30 active troops in England, of which there are fifteen in the army. 30, the navy has [-] to [-], more than [-] warships, and nearly [-] red cannons and howitzers, in addition to that, we also have a large number of reserves, which can be put into the battlefield at any time."

"Her Majesty the Queen heard that a new dynasty has risen in the Central Plains—Liang Guo. They also have railways, roads, red cannons, and howitzers. They think it is very strange, so they specially sent me to cross the sea by boat and go to Liang Guo to meet Liang Guo. Your Majesty, one is to see what happened, and the other is to discuss Liang Guo’s development of the maritime economy.”

When Emperor Yunze heard this, his eyes lit up and he secretly smiled.

He always thought how Wu Tian could suddenly understand railways, roads and develop such powerful red cannons and howitzers. It turned out that these things were all obtained from England.

"Dear guest, since you are destined to come to the Wa country, we also want to make more friends. Are you willing to make friends with us? As long as your country is willing, I can open the coastal trading ports to you for free. All English businessmen who come to the Wa country to develop trade , the tax will be reduced by half.”

Hearing these two such favorable conditions, Ai Hua's eyes lit up immediately.

This country of Wa happened to serve as an intermediate station for him to go to Liang country, and it could also be used as an island for storing items when necessary.

Thinking of this, Ai Hua stood up, bowed his hands to Emperor Yunze, and said with a smile: "His Majesty is so kind, how dare Ai Hua retreat. Well, Ai Hua will reach an agreement with His Majesty on behalf of our country of England, and the country of England and Japan will establish diplomatic relations from now on." , English merchants and Wa merchants can exchange what they need and strengthen trade. At the same time, Wa is also an ally of England in East Asia.”

Emperor Yunze nodded slightly.

"Okay, from now on, Wa and England are allies. However, I have a request now, and I hope that the distinguished guest can agree to me."

"Your Majesty's request, I know, Your Majesty wants a howitzer, right?"
