2079 Speech of Emperor Tongzhi
The enemy in fate is itself inductive, when the Wing King and Fang Guan cursed in a low voice, Zaichun, who was originally unusually calm, suddenly trembled in his heart, he seemed to have a premonition, and his head immediately turned to the crowd, trying to find the inexplicable sense of unease. [No pop-ups.] .
But what could he find in the crowd of tens of thousands of onlookers? It was already dark, there were waving hands and top hats everywhere, and the crowd huddled together could not tell who was who.
Jae-chun frowned and turned his head back, because the barge was about to dock, and the sailors at the bow had already thrown the thick cable ashore, and the four sailors on the shore hurriedly began to mooring.
"Your Majesty, please go ashore first, we have requisitioned an earl's manor at the mouth of the river, where you can rest tonight, and we will send you back tomorrow morning before the Zhiyuan sets sail......"
Jae Chun nodded, "Thank you, I don't have to send my entourage back, please prepare a special warehouse for us!"
"No problem, everything has been arranged, the attendants of Buckingham Palace will assist your men and do all the reception, please, please come ashore!"
The canopy finally moved from the bow of the ship to the land of England, and walking on the wooden gangway, I couldn't help but have mixed feelings: "This is the land of Europe, I have finally set foot on it, and from now on, my name will never be erased in history!"
At that moment, it was as if the Eastern and Western civilizations had suddenly become merged, and the high wall of civilization for thousands of years was kicked open in this step.
This is England, this is Europe, and Jaechun finally set foot on the land of the West and became the first Chinese monarch in history to visit Europe.
At that moment, the Qiluo umbrella cover was blown by gusts of wind, and hundreds of reporters from major European newspapers and magazines were already waiting here, and the tripod of the camera had already been opened...... There was a burst of magnesium lights, and the flat ground seemed to be a sun.
These photos are destined to make headlines in newspapers and magazines in various countries for some time to come, and this is the prelude to the much-anticipated diplomatic boom in Europe.
The crowd suddenly became excited, the people in the nineteenth century still had great respect for imperial power, especially the emperor of the mysterious Eastern Empire, which made everyone excited, and people cheered and applauded desperately.
"Hooray, please say something! Hooray...... Please say something!"
At first, it was just an excited request from a group of reporters, but gradually it became the common cry of all people, and the waves were higher and higher, and the British police who maintained order were pushed again and again, and the cordon was overturned several times.
At this moment, Zaichun's face also flushed with excitement, and the Duke of Newcastle next to him smiled embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, this is not what we planned, the people are too enthusiastic!"
"If Your Majesty is not ready, then it is okay for us to get in the carriage and go!" the Duke said with a smile.
Zaichun will not go, this kid is born with the characteristic of being crazy, and the prestige of the emperor in the Great Qing Dynasty is shaped by a sense of distance from the people.
Whether he ascends the throne or gets married, it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to contact the people at the bottom, all the ceremonies are performed by the Ministry of Rites in advance, and all the occasions are like acting.
The celebration that tastes like chewing wax can't see people's hearts at all, and Jaechun can't experience the pleasure of blood surging and adrenaline hormone secretion.
He shook his head at the duke, "No, I can't chill the hearts of these simple people, since I want to hear a few words from me, then I can make it difficult......" After speaking, Zaichun slowly stretched out his right hand, and the palm of his hand smiled a little on the people's faces.
It was a gesture to ask the people to stop talking, and gradually the circle closest to His Majesty the Emperor began to shut up.
"Don't speak, His Majesty the Emperor has something to say...... Don't speak!" The silent reminder spread into the distance like ripples touching the water, and soon the dock where tens of thousands of people gathered slowly quieted down, everyone was watching the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the people behind were desperately standing on tiptoe.
In this era, there are no microphones, and if you want to speak in front of many people, you can only rely on your own voice and a special metal amplifier.
The pure copper etched amplifier is mounted on a stand, and the light mouth faces the crowd, so that the sound can be maximized.
Jae-chun is not uncommon in the Ryukyu military camp, and the instructors of the new barracks are willing to take out such a big horn once they start scolding, but it is all made of simple tinplate, while the British side uses a horn with pure copper etching patterns, which is different in refinement but the principle is the same.
After taking a deep breath, Chun opened his mouth.
"1ades and gent1emen...... "None of the people present thought that the little emperor would speak a string of English, although the accent was weird, but anyone could understand it."
Jae-chun has completely entered the body at this moment, and only shows his oriental imperial style to the British people with a shallow smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your warm welcome, and I think each and every one of you has come with great curiosity, right?"
"Haha, is there anyone who would have guessed what the Emperor of the Far East on the other side of the earth would look like? Could it be a monster with blue-faced fangs like the fangs of your legendary dragon? I think someone will come with all sorts of bizarre speculations...... Am I right?"
With a bang, the crowd burst into laughter, and the little emperor's joke touched the hearts of all the people present, they really didn't expect that the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom would be so close to the people, and he would be willing to tell jokes to us, the most ordinary British people.
At that moment, all the people present had a few points of perception of Emperor Tongzhi.
"Okay, today I'm ...... The Tongzhi Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom officially stood in front of you, without the blue-faced fangs and the terrifying appearance of the evil dragon, I am me, an Eastern monarch, an Eastern Emperor who represents the inheritance of the ancient country for three thousand years!"
Jae-chun clenched his fists, he was cheering himself up, "Today, we have witnessed history together, and the diplomatic activities of the highest level of Eastern and Western civilizations have kicked off......
"This is a scene destined to go down in history, this is a moment destined to be written in textbooks, no matter whether or not my visit can lead to any substantive diplomatic agreement, but I can stand here!"
"The fact that I can stand here already means that the iceberg of Eastern and Western civilizations has been broken! A breakthrough that has not been seen in 3,000 years is breaking through the ice at this moment!"
Jae Chun's emotions became more and more excited, and this excitement also infected the British people present, the Duke of Newcastle couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't believe that this was Jae Chun's temporary words.
Where is this the remark that a thirteen-year-old should have?
Jae Chun blushed, opened his hands in a hug, he looked at the excited British people and said loudly, "The glory of history is shining brightly at this moment, and this honor does not belong to me......"
"Honour belongs to you and me, to all the British people present, to Her Majesty the Great Queen, to all peace-loving ...... throughout Europe The people!"
"Let me pass on the cheers you sent me to you!"
"Long live the Queen!"
"Long live Britain!"
"Long live the people!"
Aisin Jueluo Jae-chun gave his first speech in Europe at the mouth of the Thames!
The whole of Europe was shocked!
