2037 Atlantic Seaway
The ship was sailing in the Atlantic, and Jae-soon saw a scene that surprised him even more, the scene here is different from the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and Asia, and this is the center of the world's maritime transportation. [Latest chapter reading.]
Zaichun has seen the prosperity of Europe and the development of the navigation industry in the Mediterranean, but unfortunately the pattern of the Mediterranean is still too small, and the countries along the Mediterranean are not rich enough, and many countries are not highly industrialized.
Fishing boats, small merchant ships of less than 100 tons, and a large number of private aristocratic yachts were seen there, and the Mediterranean Sea was more like a pond for Europeans.
But the Atlantic Ocean is different, with the main shipping lanes of North America, South America and Africa, which is the first backyard in Europe.
This is where Europeans began to explore the seas, and the earliest direction of colonization was North and South America and Africa, and during the Spanish rule, countless gold, silver, ivory, coffee, sugar, wood, and all kinds of precious goods crossed the Atlantic for European consumption.
Before the opening of the Suez Canal, Europeans had to detour around the Cape of Good Hope, the southernmost point of Africa, if they wanted to sail through Asia, and the Cape of Good Hope was not the name at that time, and the Europeans gave it the name of the very terrible Cape of Storm, where countless expedition ships were buried.
It is conceivable that if you want to challenge that dangerous route and pull more cargo from the colonies, the tonnage of the sea ships is too small.
Entering the Atlantic Ocean, Zaichun was a real eye-opener, more than half of the vast sea was made up of huge sail merchant ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, and the entire sail of the three-masted sailing ship was higher than the battle mast of the Zhiyuan.
Some merchant ships were already approaching battleships in size, and they were pressed like mountains on the waterway.
"Oh my God, such a big merchant ship, so many?" Jae-chun couldn't help but exclaim, and in front of his eyes, the ships had formed a river one after another.
Xiao Letian smiled and put his arm around his shoulders and said, "This is already off the coast of Portugal, and the front is to the Bay of Biscay, basically the shipping lanes of South America and Africa converge here."
"It's like a few streets of traffic suddenly converging on one avenue, don't you think it's too much? But that's good, let you see the real Europe, let you see what people have been doing for more than 400 years!"
"The sea that we Chinese have lost, people have not lost, but have persevered day by day, making breakthroughs year by year, and Shengsheng has changed from a poor and short rubbing to a rich and handsome!"
"Open your eyes! Chinese open your eyes, don't close the door and think that it is the center of the world, it has long been not!"
At this moment, a British merchant ship 100 meters away discovered the Zhiyuan in the United Fleet, and also found the temporary hanging of the Golden Dragon Flag of the Qing Dynasty.
"Look, it's the envoys of the East! The emperor of China is here, and we have caught up with this grand meeting! Long live."
The whistle suddenly resounded over the sea, and the sailors on the deck and on the mast waved desperately, paying homage to the emperor in the far east.
The strange behavior of a merchant ship suddenly affected all the cargo ships in the entire route, and the whole channel suddenly turned into a sea of cheers.
I have to say that the ancient people were simple, they didn't have TV and the Internet to instill miscellaneous things in them, their thoughts were more simple, they didn't understand the fight between the emperors and generals, and they couldn't hear or see it, they only knew that the emperor on the opposite warship was the emperor of the mysterious East.
It is enough that the supreme ruler of a thousand-year-old country, and the first Chinese monarch in human history to visit Europe, is enough, and this is the reason for people's respect, simple and pure.
There were more and more whistles on the sea, and there were so many greeting flags that the flag bearers couldn't translate them, and the cheers could be heard clearly from hundreds of meters away, like waves coming in waves.
Jae Chun couldn't control his emotions at this time, his face was flushed and he roared twice, but the senior Xi was desperately holding the little emperor's hand on the side, "Calm down, Your Majesty, if you want to calm down, it's all grass people, you have to hold on!"
"Do you see? My Amma, do you see it in heaven? My son is so courteous in Europe, even the Europeans embrace us so much."
"I am ordered by the heavens! Aixin Jueluo is the lord of the destiny of heaven! We have gone the wrong way before, and we have all been deceived by those Confucian scholars before."
"It shouldn't be closed off from the country, why didn't we build a navy and rush out in the Qing Dynasty back then? Mistakes, they are all mistakes, I want to reverse this mistake, I want to be the master of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Listen, listen! Even the Europeans are cheering at me, and they praise me for being the true son of the dragon!"
Zaichun was already a little crazy at the moment, Xiao Letian was stunned on the side, and he suddenly found that this apprentice was a little afraid to recognize it.
Since bringing him out of Sijiu City, Jae-chun hasn't called himself me for a long, long time, and he's always called himself me.
Today, the feverish welcome of the Europeans awakened some sleeping genes in his blood, and the dragon family is a dragon after all, although it is small, Long Wei also has an awakening day.
The senior is about to cry, his responsibility is to be responsible for the etiquette of the little emperor, if anything rude happens, when he returns to the Forbidden City, he will be the first to be peeled and cramped.
This is not an adjective, once he doesn't complete the task, he may really be skinned alive and thrown into the dung pit and drowned alive.
Thinking of this, he was afraid, and the senior could only look at Xiao Letian for help, and at this moment, only the head of state could calm the little emperor.
Now the sea is full of European ships, both warships and merchant ships, and it is absolutely not okay to spank in front of everyone, let alone slap in the face.
Relying on verbal persuasion, Da Sixi has already tried, and it is obvious that Jaechun is too emotional at the moment, and his ears have begun to reject different voices.
Xiao Lotian took a half step back, looked at the thick flesh of Jae-chun's buttocks, and reached out to pinch it.
Just pinch a little bit of skin, and then twist it fiercely, "What do you think, calm me down!"
"Whoa!" Jae-chun screamed and then suddenly turned around viciously and shouted.
"Who! so bold"
At this sentence, the entire bow of the ship was silent, and even Xiao Lotian was stunned when he heard it, because at that moment he saw a trace of ruthlessness in Zai Chun's eyes, like a wounded lone wolf, full of cruelty.
"It's me, what do you want, what can you do, what do you dare to do?" Xiao Lotian said coldly.
The redness on Zaichun's face suddenly receded like a tide, and he became the humble appearance he had before, and said with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, "It turned out to be a master, I thought it was a minion of the senior Xi, hehehe, I just lost my temper, right?"
The senior Xi's face turned white with fright, but he still had to take this step, "Your Majesty, you don't have to wave your hand, just nod at those foreign devils."
The palms and backs of the senior are full of cold sweat, cold and slippery!
