1868 The Combined Fleet sets sail

The purple clay pot was just a small episode, which did not affect the harmonious atmosphere of the diplomatic meeting at all, a dark cloud was still the blue sky in the past, and the guests and hosts bragged to each other in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, and then the British fleet of 20 warships and supply ships of all sizes officially joined the Chinese fleet to provide security services on the periphery.

When Governor Filip was about to leave the ship, perhaps he was a little embarrassed to take such a precious purple clay pot, he secretly said to Xiao Letian: "The Suez Canal has just been opened, and now the largest number of shares are held by the French, and the largest number of garrisons are also French, my intelligence shows that when you pass through the canal, there may be small movements, please be on guard!"

Xiao Lotian shook Governor Filip's hand gratefully, "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention, of course, I believe in the strength of the British Imperial Navy, don't I?"

"Hahaha" Fili burst out laughing when he heard this, and both of them laughed.

At the last moment of separation, Governor Filip said with a hint: "I will help you with the affairs of Nanyang, thank you for the purple clay pot!"

Everyone didn't know that just half a month ago, Xiao Letian's secret envoy had already connected with Governor Fili, a set of valuable Chinese antiques, and a thick pile of shares in the Ryukyu Telegraph Company completely bought the governor.

Of course, Xiao Lotian didn't expect Governor Filip to give him any benefits, but through Governor Filip's mouth, he could report peace to London, at least he could beautify the process of deep colonization of the Chinese Nanyang, and the beautification was not so aggressive and less threatening.

In this era, the report of the governor of the colony was very valuable, and the London center of the empire on which the sun never set could not have been personally involved in the affairs of the colony, nor could he know all the information.

When the queen and the prime minister and the parliament make national policies, they have to rely more on the reports of the governors or ambassadors, which is like the Qing Dynasty, the Forbidden City is very awesome, but no matter how awesome it is, it is impossible to interfere in the specific work of the Governor of Liangguang and Liangjiang, and the Forbidden City does not know about the trivial matters in the local area.

It was the same in England, when a war broke out in the colonies, was it an ordinary mob rebellion, or a great uprising?

How serious it is, it is not up to the governor to decide.

Looking at the back of Governor Filip leaving, Xiao Letian sneered in his heart: "There is no cat in the world that does not eat fishy, what's wrong with the British?

Thinking of this, the Zhiyuan had already joined the British naval formation, and began to sail towards the middle of the strait, looking at the people kneeling on the shore, Xiao Letian suddenly shouted, "All of them! Salute all the fathers and villagers in Nanyang!"

"Salute, salute, salute" The orders of the officers of the ships to salute came one after another, and with regret, thousands of Chinese soldiers saluted the people of Nanyang with tears in their eyes.

"All warships salute 21 times, salute the Nanyang fathers and villagers, and the flag bearers salute the flag"

The sound of the booming cannon salute shook the entire sea off Singapore, and the flag language was translated by the old sailors on the shore, and when the 100,000 Chinese heard the Fuhrer and the army saluting them, the scene was boiling and crying, and none of the people present could stand, and they all bowed and bowed.

The elders wept and shouted, "Why don't you get off the boat and have a glass of wine!"

"Führer, please sit down, Your Majesty, please stay for a while, even if it's only for one night."

The fleet was getting farther and farther away, and the excited crowd began to crowd, and those close to the dock even stumbled into the water and poofed desperately in the sea.

The Chinese people in the city were crazy, all the natives and foreign devils were shocked by this scene, no one dared to stimulate these Chinese that day, and everyone subconsciously retreated.

Xiao Letian, who was standing at the bow of the ship, swollen his eyes, swollen his eyes, swollen and swore: "Don't wait until I return victoriously in Europe! At that time, we Chinese people will really enter the threshold of the great powers! At that time, I will definitely go ashore!"

The Combined Fleet covered the entire strait, starting from the entrance to Singapore and heading westward, and the entire main channel was occupied by the fleet, and merchant and civilian ships took refuge.

Some local scholars even saw such a large fleet and suddenly thought of the three treasure eunuchs in history who went to the South Seas, and they wrote in their diaries: "History repeats itself, maybe a Han dynasty more brilliant than the Ming Dynasty will appear again! God bless China."

The night in the Strait of Malacca is beautiful, especially after the lights of countless warships are connected into a bright river of lights, and the stars in the sky echo each other, this scenery is really beautiful.

As long as the soldiers who were not on duty were resting on the deck to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but Xiao Letian could not be found in the crowd, and at this moment he locked himself in the head cabin, and it was Ermao who knelt opposite.

Ermao was slapped on the left side of his face, it was Xiao Letian, and at this moment he was scolding this ignorant child: "Are you crazy? It's just a purple clay pot, even if it is noble, you won't feel distressed about it? Have you forgotten diplomatic etiquette?"

"Do you know how important our grand strategy is? What's so bad about being able to spend money to buy a little people's hearts at this time? We all have to fight for a little more help! You are messing with me, me, me."

Xiao Letian raised his hand and wanted to slap him again, but he couldn't do it when he saw Ermao's pitiful appearance.

"Hey," Xiao Lotian sighed and asked, "Tell me what is in your heart, you are not a child who doesn't understand the overall situation, you must have something in your heart"

Ermao kowtowed with tears in his eyes: "It's nothing, it's really nothing, I just can't bear that pot, we Chinese have carefully raised the pot for four hundred years, and we haven't changed the variety of tea, why give it to foreign devils?"

"I'll go to you, and you kid won't tell me the truth? Governor Fili is a nobleman, and he is not an upstart, how can he be violent and destroy the heavens? Besides, if you also told him the doorway inside, how can he spoil things?"

"Your godfather, I'll be honest, don't you want to with Jae Chun?"

In a word, Ermao burst into tears, he slammed his head on the ground, but he choked up and couldn't say anything, while Xiao Lotian sighed and said, "During the day, your performance is obviously competing with Governor Filip, but in fact, it is to make Your Majesty ugly, right? You let him not get off the stage, the purpose is not to want the Forbidden City in the future?"

"Do you want to force me to keep you by making trouble with Zaichun? Do you want to take the initiative to cut off the little favor with the Manchu royal family, so as to cut off the way back to the Forbidden City?"

"Of course you think that, because you know that I will never sit idly by, and you cut off your way into the Forbidden City, so it is logical to stay."

"Isn't it?"
