After crossing the Suez Canal, the Combined Fleet officially entered the Mediterranean, and it can also be said that the Suez Canal is a gateway from Asia to Europe.

No matter how many pictures and photographs about Europe Jae-chun had seen before, and how many books and travelogues about the West had read, it was not as shocking as seeing this prosperous and rich land in person.

Europe, after the double baptism of the Age of Discovery and the Industrial Revolution, and after nearly 300 years of global wealth accumulation, has completely surpassed Asia in all aspects and officially become the world's wealth center.

The little emperor stood on the bow of the Zhiyuan, looking at the white sails on the entire blue sea, often in a daze for an hour.

How can you not be shocked, this is completely Tao Yuanming's paradise, the endless stream of merchant ships and fishing boats on the main channel carrying precious goods from all over the world to those super metropolises.

Music plays on the yachts of the nobles' private yachts, and balls linger all night long with the aroma of food and wine.

Dotted around the islands, Jae-soon can see clusters of brightly colored buildings, churches with loud bells, and countless factories and workshops.

Yes, at this time, there was also a gap between the rich and the poor in Europe, and the poor people did not have education and worked hard every day, but it was undeniable that the people at the lower levels of Europe could still live.

This is a realm that the Qing Dynasty could not have imagined, at least the people at the bottom would not starve to death, they could enjoy a certain amount of medical care and education, and even the poorest people could eat at least sixty percent of their food every day, without starving all over the country.

If it is in the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that there will only be such a scene when the Kangqian era is prosperous.

Entering the Mediterranean, Britain's powerful national power was even more prominent, the combined fleet did not need to purchase any food at all, and every day there were planned supply ships waiting for His Majesty the Emperor and the head of the Chinese in the predetermined shipping lane.

Boatloads of fresh ingredients and seasonal fruits, as well as the latest newspapers and magazines from all over Europe, flew like snowflakes.

At this moment, Europe has become a complete sensation because of the arrival of Jae-chun, and with the exception of newspapers in France and Tsarist Russia, almost all countries now have front-page headlines in the Oriental series.

"The latest news, the ship of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom has sailed through Sicily, the Hellenic Republic respects His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Führer, long live His Majesty the Emperor......"

"The Ottoman Turks presented their credentials to the Tongzhi Emperor, and the friendly sultan expressed his respect for His Majesty the Emperor and the Führer, and hoped that the Emperor would have the privilege of visiting Istanbul......"

"Breaking news, a wave of thousands of protesters on the streets of Paris, shouting citizens protesting against the Chinese fleet's provocation in the Suez Canal and urging the government to take immediate punitive action......"

According to the London reporter's station, the overall renovation of London in order to welcome His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty and His Excellency the Head of State will be officially completed in two days...... It starts at Tower Bridge and continues to St Paul's Cathedral, King's College, St Martin's Cathedral, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and ...... Until Buckingham Palace will be the main venue for welcome!"

The bow of the Zhiyuan, Zaichun excitedly looked at the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean, and beside him was Ermao reciting to him the headlines of newspapers from various countries sent by the supply ship.

His Majesty trembled with excitement, and his dream had finally come true, and he became the first emperor in Chinese history to visit Europe.

Maybe those old Confucian students in China will say that they have damaged the national dignity and that the Heavenly Empire should not go to the Hajj Fanbang, but how do they know what the world is like!

They don't know, I know that I have seen with my own eyes the wealth and power of Europe, this is not a lie, when I see those poor people who have solved the problem of food and clothing, I know that everything that the master said is right.

Boom Boom Boom ...... Suddenly there was a hollow cannon sound in the distance, but no one was afraid, this sound was all too familiar, this was the sound of naval salutes, and it seemed that another country had sent warships to greet him.

At two o'clock on the starboard side, three battleships with dual steam sails flying the Austrian flag were approaching the Zhiyuan, and the British battleships escorting the escort had already screened the identity of the other party, and sure enough, it was an Austrian battleship and was immediately released.

The fleet opened a gap, and the three battleships soon ran parallel to the Zhiyuan.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Count Joseph of Austria has brought a personal letter from His Majesty Franz...... and a set of full-body plate armor with the Habsburg coat of arms as a gift......"

"Austria, the Habsburgs, conveyed to me the greetings of His Majesty Franz and looked forward to meeting His Majesty in Vienna...... A pair of cloisonné vases as a return gift from the Great Qing Kingdom!"

In fact, according to diplomatic practice, the count came to visit Emperor Tongzhi on behalf of His Majesty Emperor Franz, and he should give a banquet anyway, but the combined fleet was in a hurry, and there was no time to conduct such a diplomatic meeting, and he could only express his gratitude verbally if he was in a hurry. Finish.

Of course, the Austrian side knew about the Tongzhi Emperor's itinerary, and would not blame the little emperor for his rudeness, and after the two sides exchanged letters and state gifts, the Austrian fleet began to part ways with the combined fleet.

Even the mighty Austria sent warships to pay a visit, not to mention the small countries on the Mediterranean coast, and even the aristocratic families in some places sent envoys to pay tribute to the Tongzhi Emperor.

This is the glory that the little emperor has never enjoyed in his life, although he is the emperor in the Forbidden City, he is actually a slave of the rules, the queen mother and the uncle can manage him, and even the old eunuch can teach him lessons in the name of the ancestral family law.

"Today I know that the emperor is good! This is the glory that a king should enjoy!"

"Calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down!" The big four Xi next to him were in charge of Zaichun's etiquette, and when he saw that the little emperor was a little fluttering, he immediately reminded him.

"Hooray, O lord, the Führer said, this has just arrived in the Mediterranean...... The welcome ceremony in the future will be 10,000 times grander than it is now! You must hold on! You must hold on! You must stabilize your momentum and not lose the face of the Qing Kingdom!"

"Shut up, you dog slave knows a bullshit, you dare to teach me a lesson?" Jae-chun said, glaring.

At this moment, Xiao Letian's voice came from behind him, "Da Sixi is right, you have to calm the scene, when your carriage in London is before me, no one around you can remind you, when you see the scene of hundreds of thousands of people welcoming you, are you ready to lose your temper?"

The master's stern reprimand made Jae-chun stick out his tongue, "Yes...... The master is right!"

Xiao Lotian said to the senior Xi, "From today onwards, we must strictly train the etiquette of Zaichun, the emperor of the dignified Qing Kingdom, can not make people feel rough, must let His Majesty show a calm, wise, and calm side......"

"Remember, don't giggle, smile...... If you really can't, don't laugh!
