The Dutch fleet chased after Xu Hao when he sent people back to the port, according to Xu Hao's understanding, their reaction speed was really fast enough, because they didn't think of a good countermeasure, Xu Hao didn't know how to deal with these Dutch, it would definitely not work to destroy them first, he came to fish in troubled waters, not to get fishy, the Dutch had more than 10,000 ships, one by one, how long did he need to be busy?

Turning his head and heading north, it didn't take long to reach the English Channel, which is actually a small strait between Britain and France, but it is precisely by relying on this Nordic way to enter and exit the world's oceans, the British really took advantage of it, not to mention anything else, the English level you read is the testimony of their exploits.

Boats, there are ships everywhere, Xu Hao knew that the Liaoning would bring a huge shock, so he did not hide his whereabouts, but sailed directly into the port of London, because the ship was too big, after entering the port area, in order to guard against the reef, the ship slowly stopped, but sent people to do things themselves.

Mei Qianzhi naturally did this, and if he wanted to start contact in a strange place, he had to have this kind of related figure in it, of course, Xu Hao also changed into a black uniform, at this time it was already winter in Northern Europe, and the sea breeze was very cold, he looked at the British land in the distance, but he was very excited in his heart, and he really did it to this extent.

The elders had secretly piloted the spaceship countless times before, came to various parts of Europe to investigate, and also made some small moves, but they never went to the ground to talk to the Europeans, and at the same time their policies were always wavering, or the final mission would not have fallen on Xu Hao, for the Europeans, the Elders have always been unable to unify their opinions, and now it seems that it is the combination between the two that is causing trouble, nothing more than looking at it first.

Eliza also changed into her best clothes, of course, according to Xu Hao, no longer wearing the corset that would lead to a short life, but wearing the expensive Victoria, the whole body began to be rounded, of course, mainly for the daily nutritional supplement of various meats, she looked at Xu Hao and said: "Are we just waiting, in case the British don't receive you, then we might as well go to Lisbon again." ”

Xu Hao sighed and said, "They will come, even if it is in the civil war, no one will refuse money." ”

Xu Hao still admires these British, on the one hand, the civil war, on the other hand, the small action of doing business overseas and engaging in plantations has not been delayed at all, and even because a large number of people have run out, a large amount of money has become rich, but it has made Cromwell more arrogant, according to the original history, at this time, the king's army basically has two or three kittens left, and there is no need to fight.

Of course, this is also the reason why Xu Hao looked at Cromwell's information very strangely, for no other reason, this thing basically has all British military power now, but he can't stand up as a king, and he is even ready to negotiate with the king with a constitutional monarchy, and the king is actually stiff and refuses to obey.

"Those English pirates won't reason with you."

Although the British in this era have accumulated a unique naval heritage, but in fact there is no exclusive navy, and there are even many good pirates mixed in, and it has to wait until a few years later Cromwell really took power and began to build little by little, so that the Dutch, the sea coachman, were killed, and the Dutch were too concerned about doing business, and they offended people strategically, and they were not wronged if they lost.

Xu Hao said: "It's nothing, they don't have many tricks for us." ”

The worst-case scenario, Xu Hao has already considered it, it is nothing more than that the people on the ship have been bribed and instigated, and they want to take the ship away, if they really look for their own death, it will be fun.

The opposite side really didn't let Xu Hao wait until midnight, but in the evening, Mei Qianzhi had already run back in a lifeboat, it seemed that London was about to be quiet, and people were also very excited.

"Sir, you don't know, the officials of the port unanimously invite you to go ashore, but your ship is ......"

"yes, it looks a little too high."

"Then why don't you go ashore in a small boat first, and leave the rest to your men."

"Nope."

Xu Hao frowned and said: "Today's matter, but the big thing, you don't know, 1500 years ago, there was a person named Gan Ying, who went to the location of Dong'an in the Mediterranean Sea and wanted to visit Rome, but what about the xx king, nonsense, Rome must cross the sea, and the sea must take three years to reach it, and there will be countless difficulties and obstacles on the way, so it is impossible to rush, they are trying to monopolize the trade between the two sides, but this barrier is finally over, so that it can be recorded in history, I wouldn't have gone down without a grand welcome. ”

Just kidding, Lao Tzu is here to brush up on the grid, where can he go down from the boat in a gray way, there are no hundred long-legged girls holding flowers there to welcome and welcome, a scene of warm welcome, never say let me go down, well, this is his own delusion.

But this kind of diplomatic matter, absolutely no trivial matter, when the Korean War, while fighting and talking, the two sides did not have much nonsense about what interests to fight, first who sat in the north to have a fierce debate, and finally helplessly, each took a step back, one east and one west, which shows the depth of it.

This kind of thing means the right to speak, although none of the elders understand diplomacy, but there is no difference between diplomacy and negotiation between ordinary companies, it is nothing more than the comparison of strength, and who can compete for the right to speak, Xu Hao said good things along the way, but it is normal to pinch it here.

Mei Qianzhi looked at him strangely for a while, this person usually doesn't have so many things, and there is no red tape of the nobles, he chats with soldiers or something on weekdays, and even studies music with those literati, but he is not such a particular person.

Mei Qianzhi said: "This is a little difficult, after all, now you know that London fell into the hands of that traitor, and he just attacked his own king in a big rebellion, this kind of person may not know any etiquette." ”

For Mei Qianzi, although he was helpless to help lead the way, but this lead the way was also reluctant, in his mind, it was still based on religion, nobility, and finally nationality to divide interests, but no matter how you look at it, he and the parliamentary army represented by Cromwell really don't look down on it.

Xu Hao smiled and said, "No, you bring the words over and let them vacate a deep enough port, I naturally have a way to sail over here, as for the welcome ceremony for me, I think Cromwell will give me a grand and formal welcome ceremony after he understands it, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

All I'm worried about is that he's giving you a grand welcome!

Mei Qian is also clever, as soon as he got off the ship, he first got the people of the customs, and then ran to the nearby church, where there are still a lot of Catholic territory, once I understand, I found that when they came, Cromwell had already passed several wars, locked the victory, and the new model army at this time, those ordinary peasant children, small merchant children fought bravely with hope, so that the king's army on the opposite side basically had no room for resistance, so to speak, has entered the final garbage time.

At this time, if the envoy sent by the legendary China, which was full of gold and treasures, was greeted by Cromwell with great fanfare, then this man's reputation would be skyrocketing, at least the nouveau riche who only knew money and had no loyalty in their hearts would surely wag their tails to curry favor with the traitor.

The best result was that after Xu Hao secretly got off the ship, he had a verbal disagreement with Cromwell and the Parliament, and broke up unhappily, but he sided with the king, but he knew that these Chinese were actually very powerful, if they could greatly increase the king's confidence......

Mei Qianzhi said: "However, this will delay time, your ship is so huge, I think, it will take a lot of time to make enough space." ”

"It's okay, I believe that the Lord Protector is a person who understands."

The protector will have to wait until a few years, Cromwell's brain is broken, he thinks that after he has mastered the power, he instigates his henchmen to give himself a position, because of the strange aristocracy in Europe, even if the people of a country can't bear it anymore and expel the king, but they still set up a new king, basically looking for the king's son, daughter, nephew or something to take over, and the new king will not settle accounts after the fall, which is how stupid it is in the eyes of the Oriental people.

The Protector is a black drama, but at this time Cromwell's true face has not been exposed, so Mei Qianzhi does not know what it means, only thinks that his Chinese is not good, which leads to this.

The Liaoning did bring a great shock to the British, because the speed was too fast, before the British Navy reacted, it had already entered the port of London, at this time how many warships were far away in a circle, but they did not dare to move.

Mei Qianzhi turned from a leading party into a messenger, and he could only turn his head back at this time, but Xu Hao didn't embarrass him, and sent some gifts over by the way, and specially explained that this is something given by the Chinese government to the British people, not to someone, of course, they are all novel and inexpensive things, just like the glass balls sold by Europeans to Africans.

Eliza was already very familiar with him at this time, and he could go to the captain's room at the highest point, at this time Xu Hao opened the small warehouse of the ship's inventory, so that everyone could have a full meal, he went below to cheer people up, gave a reward silver, and told them that they would soon have foreign girls, give me a clever point, don't lose the face of the old and young masters in China, all the men responded with a strange smile, this year, there must be a kiln outside the port That is the rule of the earth, but in order not to let them be recruited, it is better to send some money to let them go to a more advanced place, Naturally, some kind of silicone sleeve was also issued.

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Hao raised his head and said, "A night vision device can see the situation on the opposite side at night, and now the situation on the opposite side is very good, I am very satisfied." ”

"Oh?" Eliza secretly turned around and walked behind Xu Hao, but she saw the picture, that is, the port seemed to be undergoing large-scale transportation, and the lights were lit, but it was still comfortable to see with equipment shooting, but at this glance, it was obvious that the port was also moving.

Xu Hao snapped his fingers and said: "The reaction is so fast, from an ordinary little nobleman to the current British master, let me see, that Mei Qianzhi went back in less than four hours, and counting the time in the middle, he was carrying the port, preparing for the welcome ceremony, he is really a masterpiece." ”

Xu Hao silently calculated, if it was himself, he was afraid that he was not the opponent of this person, but fortunately, with the equipment bonus, he was the first-level trumpet of the six gods, although Cromwell was an eighteenth-level god, but he only had a pair of straw sandals, and in this case, his victory was actually easy to judge.

Eliza immediately said, "He's just a usurper, and I don't think anyone will really approve of his rule!" No one in Europe approves of it, and the royalists everywhere will not approve of it. ”

Xu Hao was dumbfounded, although Eliza was a woman and not very proficient in affairs, but she understood very clearly on the issue of nobility, Cromwell's basic plate was too small, although he could control everything by relying on his personal ability and military merits, but after his death, the new model army he created collapsed, and the king was quickly restored, this point is really to the point.

To the monarchs of Europe, Cromwell was almost as odious as Napoleon, and you made a bad example of a war with the king, so what if my subordinates knew about it and drove me away?

Even the ordinary aristocracy of England, including Cromwell himself, is also an aristocratic class, and their glory and wealth come from the continuation of the king's aristocratic system, which Eliza sees very clearly.

"Eliza, you still don't understand what I'm here for, I'm a passerby, just engaged in diplomacy, conveying the will of my country, whoever becomes the king of England is the same as whoever is the king of Portugal, basically has nothing to do with me, the problem now is, Cromwell is a very capable person."

There are many kinds of skills, according to what Li Xiangqian taught him, he wants to be a leader, and his substantive work is just to choose a team, lead a team, and set the direction, but these three things are almost the most difficult things in the world.

Choosing the right talent and putting it in the right position, everyone will say that, but do you know who is a fierce general like Zhao Yun and who is a mediocre talent who talks about it? Who is Zhao Kuangyin who said he was loyal and rebelled the next moment?

This also has to consider the personality of the talent, the place of origin, and the relationship with colleagues, which is complicated.

When it's time to lead the team, two subordinates come to you to fight a lawsuit, tell each other's inconsistencies, and ask you to support him, how do you choose? Rashomon plus the public said that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.

For example, in the 21st century, those who choose to invest in the Internet industry have basically created huge careers, while the Japanese are climbing on a dead end.
