Chapter 232: Curious Uncle and Nephew
Most of the historical Zheng Sen describes how he resisted the Dutch and recovered Taiwan, but in fact, celebrities in history are the same as most ordinary people, they are just as naughty and impulsive, which is a stage that everyone will have to go through. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just like everyone, the same is true of Zheng Sen, who disregarded everyone's opposition and repeatedly asked to come to Australia, which made Zheng Zhilong very helpless, and finally had no choice but to agree to his choice, it is good to go to Australia to have a look, after all, young people still have to go out for a walk.
Riding on the Australian Navy battleship, he reached Australia in seven days, and he saw a lot along the way, knew the vastness of the sea, and knew that there was such a big piece of land outside the Ming Dynasty, even bigger than the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, what shocked him the most was that the speed of the Australian warship could be so fast, and it only took a week to come to Australia, a mysterious country in Australia, which is said to have been inherited from the pre-Qin Dynasty, but I don't know if it's true yet.
In fact, as long as you have been on the Australian warship, you will be more interested in steamboats, after all, steamships like this are not so easy to see, and one feature is that they are larger than their ships, and they are fast, and they do not need human paddling.
When they came to Australia, they did not see the officials who received them, but they were greeted by a group of white coats, who came up and explained to them, saying that they needed to be disinfected before they could enter the city.
Zheng Hongkui didn't have any opinions, this time he came to Australia to ask for Australians, so it was inevitable to choose to keep a low profile, so he didn't object.
The staff of the Health and Quarantine Bureau took them to the sanitizing pool for them to soak in, and then handed them some clothes and shoes to put on the side, and told them that their clothes would be sent to someone to be washed and that there was no need to worry.
This Australian rule made Zheng Hongkui feel that they loved cleanliness very much, in fact, they found that it was not only they who were on the side of the disinfection pool, but other soldiers were also here.
After some freshening up, the reception staff sent by Australia finally arrived, and a luxurious four-wheeled carriage was already waiting outside the port border quarantine station.
As a diplomat, it is most normal for Wu Zhengdao to be in charge of reception, and he also holds the post of foreign minister.
"Lord Zheng, meet again, welcome to Australia." Wu Zhengdao stepped forward to shake hands with Zheng Hongkui, and then looked at Zheng Sen and also stretched out his hand. "I didn't expect Zheng Gongzi to come too."
"I didn't expect that it was an acquaintance who picked us up, Minister Wu doesn't have to be polite, when you arrive in Australia, you will come to your territory, you can treat us well."
Compared with Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Sen is still much shy, after all, he is not big at this time, don't look at the half-grown young man, but he will still blush.
"When you arrive in Australia, you will naturally have to be entertained by me, the landlord, your residence, the foreign affairs department has been arranged, in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, for your convenience, there will also be a carriage reserved for your use, by the way, Australia is not allowed to ride into the city, can only take a carriage."
Zheng Sen, who was very curious about everything in Australia, looked at the four-wheeled carriage in a daze, and was pulled into the car by his uncle at this time, still thinking about whether this carriage would be much easier to sit in.
"Zheng Gongzi must be thinking, the difference between this carriage and Daming, the Australian carriage is built with all steel structures, a small part of which is made of wood, and a device is designed under the seat to reduce shock, you will know when you can run."
After listening to Wu Zhengdao's explanation, Zheng Sen touched his nose, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then got into the carriage.
After sitting for a few minutes, Wu Zhengdao squinted and asked with a smile, "How is it, do you feel comfortable to sit." ”
"That's true, this carriage is indeed much more comfortable to sit in, uncle, why don't we buy one and go back, so that my mother won't be so bumpy when she sits."
Zheng Sen is a filial person who can always think of his mother, which is one of the main reasons why he was selected as the successor of the Zheng family.
Zheng Hongkui didn't reply, but Wu Zhengdao looked at him and smiled, "Zheng Gongzi is so filial, why don't you let me call the shots and give you one on behalf of Australia." ”
"How embarrassing it is, Minister Wu, thank you so much." Zheng Hongkui knew that this carriage was so comfortable to sit in, and it would definitely not be cheap, he didn't open his mouth because he wanted to hear this, but he didn't expect Wu Zhengdao to really say that this advantage is not taken advantage of.
Of course, Wu Zhengdao didn't take this matter to heart, after all, it was just a carriage, and it didn't cost much to send one to them, saying that everyone was still a partner, so he gave it to them directly.
Lord Zheng must have a good visit to Australia this time, although Chang'an Town is a little smaller, but in the Australian coastal towns, he is a relatively large coastal town.
It's no secret that Chang'an is one of Australia's most important cities. The Spaniards and the Dutch knew it, and so did the natural Zheng family.
Not enough to look at the street from the outside of the car window, although there are not so many people on the streets of this city, but there are indeed not many houses at all, and there are many construction sites under construction, according to Zheng Hongkui's calculations, at least a town that can live more than 100,000 people, such a town is indeed not small, Australians say that he is a big town in Australia is indeed true, it is indeed quite big here.
When you go out of the city, you can see a lot of tall chimneys, these huge chimneys make the Zheng family uncle and nephew very strange, I don't know what this is for, and there are so many.
"That's our steel smelter, as well as the cement manufacturing plant, the raw materials for swords exported to Daming are produced here, and you have seen cement, but you may not see it as big as here."
With Wu Zhengdao's explanation, the uncle and nephew of the Zheng family knew what they were doing here, it turned out that this was the place to make swords in Australia, and they must go to see it.
Both of them have this idea in their hearts, in fact, people who go to Australia will have the idea of wanting to go there to see what is going on, but except for a small number of people who can enter, others are not so easy to enter, after all, steel smelting is also a secret technology, so there are soldiers standing guard at the door.
After sending the Zheng family's uncle and nephew to the Diaoyutai Hotel, and after accompanying the two to dinner, Wu Zhengdao said goodbye to the two of them, letting them have a good rest and talk about something tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
