Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold!

Leaving the home of the Earl of Stratford, under the guidance of Mr. Jorgen, Mr. Hong paid a formal visit to the University of Cambridge, which had not been entered before.

The school leaders there were very bullish, wearing colorful satin clothes, wigs, and high eyes.

Indeed, they are proud, and now it can be called the age of ignorance, and those who have acquired knowledge think that they are above all men, and that they are only under God, and not even kings.

The teachers and students of King's College once successfully resisted Newton's order from Trinity College to be the president of King's College, yes, it was that mechanic Newton, a giant of science, his level was good enough to be the president of King's College, but he should not have been appointed by the king, so he was boycotted, fortunately here is the West, if it is in the East, the official guarantee will let those teachers and students taste the power of the autocratic iron fist!

However, those bullish and arrogant British gentlemen who were coaxed and arrogant were also greatly shocked when they saw the military uniforms of the southeastern officers showing off!

The navy uniform of the southeast province is navy blue, and there are many accessories and badges on the military uniform, including epaulettes, (placket) badges, military merit medals, military age, rank, honor medals (that is, rows of small grids on the military uniform) and so on.

Their clothes are well-cut and fitting, showing the heroic style of soldiers, not silver-like wax gun heads, so that experienced old British gentlemen become very polite after seeing them.

On behalf of the Southeast Prefecture, Hong presented to the University of Cambridge the 10 collections of the classics of Chinese culture edited by the Southeast Prefecture, including Zhou Yi, Lao Tzu, The Book of Songs, The Analects, Zhuangzi, Mencius, The Records of the Historical Records, The Altar of the Six Patriarchs, The Records of the Near Thoughts and the Records of the Legends, as well as the comparative study methods in Chinese and English, as well as the English translation of the Book of Songs.

My family also has materials, and my family is also good!

Of course, the knowledge of the eastern powers is more than this, but even these are enough for the red hairy fans to learn, provided that they can pass the Chinese level!

In terms of Yan Changwu's instructions, natural sciences and traditional Chinese medicine did not communicate with Hongmaofan, only entering and not leaving, constantly absorbing the knowledge of the West, and enhancing the relevant knowledge reserves of the Southeast Prefecture.

The English gentlemen were very happy to see those books, and Hung reached an agreement with them to exchange students, for example, the famous "Trinity College" of Cambridge University allocated eight places for international students to study theology, law, medicine and mathematics.

Theology?

The students sent by the southeast government are staunch Mazu believers, and they do not believe in Xiao Ye, mainly to study Xiao Ye's classics, so as to achieve the effect of knowing the other and not slacking off.

Medicine?

The international students came back and gave an incisive summary:

In Western medicine, it is bloodletting at every turn, and bloodletting is healthy enough for both sick and unsick.

Arab medicine, the best universal medicine is the powder of the mummy, the powder is regarded as the root of the banlang, and a bite can cure all diseases, such a miracle medicine, even Ah San is ashamed of himself.

Dr. Hongmaofan, who has studied Arabic medicine, thinks differently, such as grinding the skull of a mummy into powder and mixing it with hot chocolate, which can treat stroke and intracranial hemorrhage, which is really a must-have for headaches and brain fever during home travel.

Different schools of thought have also developed in the use of mummy powder, and even divided into "sweet parties", believing that mummy powder plus honey cures epilepsy, and adding honey cures tuberculosis.

In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine is more reliable, and international students dare to travel only when they bring enough pills from their hometowns.

In law, the international students have come to the conclusion that the East and the West have their own advantages and disadvantages, the great unification of the East, I am the country, the advantages can concentrate on doing great things, and the great unification of the society can reduce a lot of troubles and disadvantages, and the disadvantage is that once a bad emperor is put on the stall, the whole empire will be crooked.

The rights of various strata in the West are relatively scattered, and the countries are often chaotic, making it difficult to form a joint force.

In terms of mathematics, the East and the West have their own unique characteristics, but at this time, Western mathematics has not yet leaped forward, and has not formed an overwhelming advantage over Eastern mathematics.

……

The East is finally sending students to the West on a large scale, and the University of Cambridge will also send students to the Southeast, which is a good thing to exchange and promote the development of science.

At this point, Hong Xuguan, who had nothing to do, returned to London, bid farewell to the British, and embarked on the last leg of his European journey----- the Netherlands!

The Netherlands was ruled by the Habsburgs, the Holy Roman Empire, and Spain until 1648, and in 1581 the Dutch Republic was established as the United Provinces of the Netherlands (Dutch Republic), and finally achieved its independence in 1648, but by this time, the Netherlands was already at odds with Spain and England.

The Netherlands played a major role in maritime trade in the 17th century, so they were called the "coachmen of the sea".

In the 15th ~ 16th century, the shipbuilding industry in the Netherlands ranked first in the world. There are hundreds of shipyards in the capital Amsterdam alone, and hundreds of ships can be built at the same time across the country. The Dutch shipbuilding technology is the most advanced in the world, and the cost of ships is 1/3 to 1/2 lower than that of the British. Many countries in Europe have ordered ships from the Netherlands.

The Dutch accounted for three-quarters of the total tonnage of Europe at that time, with 15,000 merchant ships, and almost monopolized maritime trade. Timber from Norway, fish from Denmark, grain from Poland, furs from Russia, spices from Southeast Asia, cotton textiles from India, silk and porcelain from China, etc., were mostly transshipped by Dutch merchant ships and sold by Dutch merchants. At that time, Amsterdam was the center of international trade, and more than 2,000 merchant ships often docked in the harbor.

Three major battles broke out between the Netherlands and the southeastern provinces, and Batavia, an important support point, was lost.

At the same time, the Southeast Province made a statement: The waters east of the Strait of Malacca are all owned by the Southeast Province!

Except for the existing areas to be resolved in the future, Hongmao Fan is not allowed to occupy new land. (Existing areas include the Portuguese city of Malacca and Macau, the Spanish Luzon and the Dutch trade in Nagasaki, etc.)

This exclusive agreement caused great outrage among the Dutch!

But in the end, the southeast province was unable to open up the ocean trade between the east and the west because it still wanted to be bright, and the Netherlands had the trouble of the European continent and needed the profits of the East and West trade, so a large number of Dutch merchant ships docked at the designated trading ports of the southeast province for trade, and they were not discriminated against, and the two sides seemed to forget the blood shed between each other.

On the surface, the cooperation was still pleasant, and when the visiting fleet of the Southeast Province arrived in Amsterdam, it was warmly welcomed by the Dutch!

"Boom, boom! ……”

Ten Dutch ships, in two columns, welcomed them in the aisle.

The Dutch ships wore red and fired a salute, attracting more Dutch ships to watch, and the channel was blocked for a while!

From a distance, the sails in the port of Amsterdam outperform all the harbors, and the thriving port of the Rising Sun in the southeastern province is also willing to bow to the wind.

The southeastern ships were freshly washed, and the crews wore clean military uniforms and stood on the side of the bulwark, showing the Dutch the might of the eastern army.

Seeing the heroic posture of the Eastern soldiers, the Dutch who saw it all stretched out their thumbs to praise, while the Dutch, who knew the Sino-Dutch conflict, secretly lost unjustly!

Under the command of the pilots and the towing of the channel boats, the southeast ship came to a steady stop at the pier, which was warmly cheered by the Dutch.

Frederick Henry, the ruler of the Netherlands, sent his chief of guard, Rear Admiral Bucknand, to meet the visiting fleet from the East, and led them to Frederick Henry's residence.
