Chapter 473: London

The stop is a relatively large fishing village with hundreds of families, each of which is a fisherman. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The North Sea Fishing Ground is one of the three largest in the world, and Skagen's proximity to the North Sea makes the nearby waters extremely rich in fish and delicious in meat.

Fishermen like to make fish into dried fish with a unique flavor and exchange it for money or goods such as beef and cotton cloth with passing caravans.

Because it is located in the middle of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, and is a necessary place for trade between the fleets of England, France, and other countries and the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea, it is often passed by fleets, but rarely docks, because almost all of the people who live here are fishermen, and even decent towns have not been built.

The reason why they stopped at Skagen was because it was the hometown of the convoy soldiers, and Zheng Fei had promised them to take their families with them.

For the people who want to follow the fleet, Zheng Fei is almost always willing to come, after all, there are now more than 200 large ships, and many ships are empty when they are not full, and the more people who go to the Americas, the better, and one more person will be more productive.

After a half-day stop at Skagen, the fleet continued its voyage, crossing the northernmost point of the Danish mainland into the North Sea, heading straight for several large islands on the other side of the sea.

Where is that? It's England.

Ten days later, in the evening, London.

When countless huge sails arrived in this historic city and appeared in front of the eyes of Londoners, everyone was shocked.

They had never seen a ship of this size, nor had they ever seen a fleet of thousands, and they ran through the streets to tell each other that a fleet had sailed into London, and the news even reached the ears of the king.

In the face of such a huge fleet, the weak sea patrol did not dare to stop it at all, and immediately sent people to inform the Royal Navy of England, although they thought that it was useless for the navy to come, and the other side could do a fleet with a huge ship.

Upon hearing the news, the king quickly gathered his ministers and hurried to the dock in a panicked carriage.

Standing on the deck, looking at the thriving London docks, the mood is not ordinarily good. Zheng Fei curled the corners of his mouth, and saw that the people on the shore were watching and saluting motionlessly.

He took out a flask and took a sip, and habitually admonished: "Hans, take someone to the city to buy a large amount of citrus, and then we will sail for more than a month, without which the sailors will get scurvy." ”

After a pause of two seconds, there was no response in his ears, and then he remembered something and smiled bitterly.

He raised his hand and repeated it to Ares, who was directing the movement in the distance.

Then, he was ready to take a tour of the city of London to see if he could see any opportunities.

"Brad, won't you go home to London?" he saw Brad lying in the sun on his chair as if nothing had happened, and there was no excitement at all about returning home.

"I don't have a home. Brad shook his head flatly.

"What about your original friend, who doesn't want to catch up?"

"Ha, don't forget that I'm a wanted killer, and those former friends can't hide from me. ”

Brad patted the back of his head with some grief, as if in annoyance.

"Okay. ”

Facing the Grand Pier in London, Zheng Fei stretched his arms beautifully, and then took Santiago and a few other guys ashore and went into the city to have a look.

As soon as he stepped onto land, an urgent call came from behind him.

"Hey, wait a minute. ”

Turning around, I saw Duke Tukman with an anxious face.

Zheng Fei bowed his head and motioned for him to say.

"You said you would let me join my family when I arrived in London, where is my family now?"

"I don't know, you'll have to look for it. Zheng Fei shrugged.

"But didn't you let Brad send someone to follow them......" Tukman was anxious, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Looking into his eyes, fixed, Zheng Fei smiled: "He lied to you." ”

With that, turn and leave.

"Trick ......" Tukman couldn't help but open his mouth wide and was stunned for a while, and after reacting, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He then went to the dock owner and asked if there was a fleet from Denmark that had recently arrived.

Town.

The city of London in the evening is prosperous and peaceful.

At the end of the day, people are more than happy to take to the streets, where merchants from all over Europe come together and can source almost all types of goods, including sulphuric acid.

Sulfuric acid in this era was generally used to treat diseases, and Zheng Fei needed to buy a large amount, of course, not for treatment, but for the synthesis of nitroglycerin.

Nitroglycerin plus diatomaceous earth, this is the formula for Nobel's development of explosives, as long as you are willing to study it in the time, you can get it out.

Once the explosives are successfully made, they will lead to another Genesis revolution.

Accompanied by Santiago and others, he arrived at a medical clinic.

"Young man, I'm not feeling well today, if you're not seriously ill, please go back first, I'm going to close the door and rest. Behind the counter, the doctor said without looking up.

"I just wanted to ask, where can I buy sulfuric acid?"

"I've got sulfuric acid here, how much do you want, is two bottles enough?"

"The more the merrier. ”

At this time, the doctor was reluctant to raise his head, take his eyes off the medical book, and look at the people who entered the room.

"That thing is a bit dangerous, it will burn your skin if you don't get it, what are you going to do with it?"

"I'm a navigator, and I have a fleet of several thousand people, so I need to procure a lot of medicine. ”

"Oh, you're the navigator who just arrived in London, and I've heard that your fleet is very large. The doctor smiled and pushed down his glasses: "But if you want to purchase a large number of medicines, you must first get the approval of the royal family, otherwise no pharmacy will dare to sell it to you." ”

Damn, it's time to deal with the royal family again. Zheng Fei thought so in his heart.

"By the way, your huge fleet has already alarmed all of London, and perhaps the royal family is rushing to the docks, and the Royal Navy will arrive soon, and you may be in a little trouble. The doctor added.

"Thanks for the reminder. Zheng Fei smiled politely and walked out of the medical hall.

"What to do, Royal Navy... Shall we get out of London quickly?" asked Santiago, worried.

"No, we don't have any ill intentions, we're just temporarily stopping to purchase supplies. But to be on the safe side, let's get the Spartan Legion ready for defense. ”

Zheng Fei smiled indifferently, and then began to look at the buildings on both sides of the street.

He had been here countless times, but he felt that medieval London was even more magnificent.

Standing here, you can vaguely see the Palace of Westminster standing in the distance, it is located on the west bank of the Thames, standing on its top, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the whole city of London, and the twilight of the Thames. At the same time, it is also the seat of Congress.

On Tower Hill in the southeast corner of the city of London, there is a famous building, the Tower of London, which served as a fortress, armory, treasury, mint, palace, observatory, sanctuary and prison, especially for the prisoners of the upper class, and was an extremely important site.

What Zheng Fei didn't expect was that this trip to London, which was just for rest and supplies, would have unexpected gains. (To be continued.) )
