2078 Thames Estuary
The emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom finally appeared, and the people at the mouth of the river finally did not wait in vain, and some people even stood here for more than three hours.
Love to watch the excitement is a common disease of the whole human race, but it is not exclusive to Chinese, and the entertainment life of European people in the 19th century is also very lacking.
Only the wealthy could go to high-end restaurants, go to opera, go to balls and dance, and the general public had no access to this kind of entertainment.
After a hard day's work, the British people can only look at cheap newspapers repeatedly by the dim gas lights after work, and even some destitute families cannot even afford to buy newspapers, so they can only borrow some old newspapers from friends and neighbors to read.
One can imagine how lacking the spiritual world of the people was at that time, and many people never left their cities in their lives, let alone have any vision.
This is still the British Empire, the most powerful empire in the world, if you put it in the poor countries of Central and Eastern Europe, there are people who wear open-ass pants, and the standard of living of the people is a little higher than in the Middle Ages.
Because of this, it was easy to meet the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty visiting the United Kingdom, and he was passing by from the door of his home, how could he not come to see the excitement.
Many hostesses didn't even cook dinner, and dragged a group of children in their arms, and also came to the beach to watch the excitement.
Life is difficult, and although tomorrow Jae-chun will appear in the city of London to be welcomed by the citizens of England, it is destined to belong to the citizens of London, and has nothing to do with the inhabitants of the Thames estuary.
Although it is only a distance of more than 10 kilometers, none of the poor people will delay a day to go to the city of London to see the excitement, and they are only faced with endless work and housework.
Since tomorrow's excitement is destined to be a look without fate, we can only seize the opportunity now to take a good look at how many noses and eyes the Chinese emperor has.
As the traffic barge got closer and closer, the exclamations of the crowd rose higher and higher.
"I know, that's the Duke of Newcastle, he's the special envoy for this visit......"
"Look, it's really a little emperor, God, how old is he, twelve or eleven years old......"
As the barge got closer and closer, people could finally see the outline of Emperor Tongzhi clearly, the Orientals suffered a lot in terms of figure, and the thirteen-year-old Zaichun was eleven or twelve years old in their eyes.
However, the little emperor's serious expression shocked them: "You see, the emperor of China is like a sculpture, so strong and majestic!"
"Look at that golden dress, is this the dragon robe introduced in the newspapers? I heard that it is woven from gold...... What a rich country it is, and how you can make clothes out of gold......"
Thanks to the Chinese series of reports that spared no effort to publicize before, the people of Europe had some understanding of some basic information about the Chinese emperor.
Otherwise, how would they know how old Emperor Tongzhi is, what the dragon robe looks like, and how many years later?
Of course, there are deliberately some factors in the Oriental Chinese series of reports to mislead readers, such as the dragon robe is written as gold weaving, and the toilet butt wiping paper is brocade silk and other false reports.
This is deliberate, because most readers need this kind of exaggerated news to attract attention, so some rumors must be created to get the attention of the wider public.
If you want to make this East-West diplomatic event more grand-scale, it is indispensable for the enthusiastic participation of the people at the bottom.
Jae-chun on the barge also saw the lively scene at the wharf, and the British policemen in crisp uniforms did their best to maintain a welcoming area, and they were sweating hand in hand, which stopped the excited crowd.
"Backwards, all backwards...... Damn, don't be ashamed, remember that we are gentlemen of the British Empire, and we are decent...... Oops my shoes, my hat ......"
Xiao Letian, who was in the distance, also laughed when he saw this chaotic scene, and he whispered, "Human beings can remember the first person to land on the moon, so who is the second one? I'm afraid no one will remember......
"Zaichun was the first Chinese emperor to set foot on European soil, and this glory is unmatched!"
The Duke of Newcastle excitedly said to the little emperor beside him: "Your Majesty, have you seen so many enthusiastic people? They all came to welcome you spontaneously, but there is no government organization! It seems that your reputation is really rising!"
"Long live! Long live the Emperor!" At this time, the crowd on the shore could already see Jae Soon's face, and the crowd grabbed their hats and waved them in mid-air, and the roar of Banzai rushed towards Jae Chun like a tide.
"Hold on, you must hold on!" Zaichun cheered himself up at the most critical moment, the imperial etiquette education for many years finally worked, and the special training of the previous senior joy was not in vain, in front of tens of thousands of popular people, Jaechun actually held on.
"When they are air, must be when they are air...... Put the shelf up, stinky boy put the shelf up!" Xiao Letian was also secretly cheering up Zaichun in his heart.
Jae-chun desperately adjusted his breathing to make it more melodious, he tried not to pay attention to the fanaticism of the people, and his ears did not pay attention to the cheering roars, and gradually his legs, which were trembling with excitement, finally stabilized.
Emperor Tongzhi's eyes were like water, looking at the crowd on the shore, as if looking at the floating clouds in the sky, he smiled and raised his hand to wave gently, at that moment the calm momentum of the young king of the East amazed all the British people present.
It is incredible that a teenager can hold up the scene in the face of such a spectacular scene.
"Long live! Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty...... Welcome to the UK!"
The applause rang out like a torrential rain, and the Duke of Newcastle also took off his gloves and applauded, and his impression of the little emperor was three points higher.
Everyone is unleashing their enthusiasm like a carnival, except for a few people who are different, and only a few people who are exceptions.
They only cast hateful glances at Jae-chun, without a trace of enthusiasm.
The Wing King stared at Jae-chun in the crowd, and scolded in his native dialect in a low voice, "Dog Tartar!"
Fang Guan also stared at Zaichun as deadly, and scolded in a low voice in beautiful German, "Eight Banners Thief Head, Pig!"
Note: It is necessary to talk about the recent plot, and some people have reported that the protagonist's aura is dusty, which is really unfounded. The current plot can only be said to be that the protagonist meets a stronger opponent.
The Chinese are destined to grow up, his opponent is the world-class powers, Britain belonged to the most glorious period of the empire in the Victorian era, where is such an opponent so easy to deal with?
You can't write the world's top powers as straw bale waste and let the protagonist step on it casually, right?
Therefore, there must be concessions, as long as the final victory is ours.
