In August, Sun Yuanhua took William? Harvey and Count Arundel came to Beijing together.

Sun Yuanhua could have returned to the Ming Dynasty a long time ago, but Zhu Youxiao asked the Ming delegation to return to the Ming Dynasty. Harvey brought back Daming. To bring back William? Harvey, Sun Yuanhua tried his best, at this time Britain and the Ming Dynasty had just established diplomatic relations, Sun Yuanhua thought of inviting the British to visit the Ming Dynasty, and the British also wanted to establish trade with the Ming Dynasty, so they agreed to Sun Yuanhua's request. Charles I decided to send the Count of Arrendel to visit the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time let William? Harvey accompanied.

"Sun Aiqing, I want to hear about your trip to the West." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"The ministers have been to many places on this trip, the Vatican, England and other places have been there, and now many Western countries are involved in religious wars, and the whole Western Ocean is now in a depression, the countryside is sparsely populated, thieves are infested, birds and beasts are almost extinct, and Western countries and empires are also experiencing the worst disaster weather in history, and they are also facing a food crisis." Sun Yuanhua said.

"How did they solve the food crisis?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"On the one hand, they promoted new food crops such as potatoes like the empire, and on the other hand, they plundered food from overseas to ensure food supply at home." Sun Yuanhua said.

"I expect the disaster to get worse and worse, with a larger population and a more serious food problem, and the empire will not only have to plunder food from overseas, but also obtain granaries that can produce food in large quantities." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty......" As soon as Sun Yuanhua's words came out, he was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao, "I know what the empire needs, what the people need, compared to benevolence, righteousness and morality, courtesy, righteousness and shame, what the empire needs is to survive." If the people don't even have food to eat, all benevolence, righteousness, morality, etiquette, righteousness and shame are just empty words. ”

"I thought that a civil war was about to break out in England, and now that there was chaos in England, a large-scale civil war would break out at any time." Sun Yuanhua has been in the West for a few years, and his way of thinking has changed somewhat, and he no longer bothered with this problem.

"It's a pity that England is too far from the Empire for us to change anything at all. Let's talk about the war between the Netherlands and Spain. "Zhu Youxiao once wanted to support Charles I, but England is too far away from Daming, and it takes more than a year to go to England at the earliest, which makes it impossible for Daming to invest most of his troops to change the overall situation.

"The Dutch have the upper hand at sea, in the eighth year of the apocalypse, in the Battle of the Gulf of Matanzas, the Dutch captured a Spanish treasure fleet worth tens of millions of guilders in the port of Matanzas, and last year, the Dutch launched a night attack on the Spanish fleet in Antwerp in Slack, annihilating all the Spanish fleet in the port, although Spain has been defeated repeatedly, but still has a very strong force at sea."

"On land, the war between the Netherlands and Spain, due to the outbreak of the civil war of the Holy Roman Empire, the major Western countries, including the Netherlands and Spain, were involved in this war, which has gradually evolved into a war between the Protestant countries and the Catholic countries, and it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose, but for the time being, Sweden's accession has temporarily given the Protestant League the upper hand." Sun Yuanhua said.

"It looks like it will take more than a decade for this war to end." Zhu Youxiao said softly and affirmatively.

"Why does Your Majesty think that this war will continue for more than ten years?" Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but ask.

"Is there any way to get William? Harvey volunteered to stay in the Empire? Zhu Youxiao asked.

"William? Harvey was highly valued by the British royal family, and he would not want to stay in the empire. Sun Yuanhua thought for a while and said.

"Then find a way to keep him in the empire for a while longer." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Unless Count Arrundell is willing to stay in the Empire a little longer." Sun Yuanhua said.

"I'll talk about it later, when I summon Count Arendall." Zhu Youxiao said.

……

There were more than 10 people in the British mission, and Zhu Youxiao specially hosted a banquet to entertain the British mission. And William? Harvey is now fifty-four years old, but he looks very spirited.

"I agree to establish formal diplomatic relations with England and to open trade with England, and that English merchant ships may dock at any of the Empire's ports with the consent of the Empire." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, I can't wait to tell His Majesty the King the good news." Count Arendel said happily.

"You have come thousands of miles to my Ming Empire, I hope you can stay for more time and take a look around the Ming Empire." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's invitation, and I am also ready to stay in your country for a little longer." Count Arrendell said.

"I feel that the Empire and England should also establish embassies for each other, so that the problems between the two countries can be dealt with in a timely manner." Zhu Youxiao said. The Ming and the British had sent ambassadors to each other, but such ambassadors were temporary, and they did not have embassies like the Dutch.

"Regarding the establishment of embassies for each other, before I came to Daming, His Majesty had already told me and agreed to establish embassies." Count Arrendell said.

"I want you to return to England after the arrival of your ambassador to the Empire." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"This ...... It seems like too long. Count Arondell said hesitantly.

"Mr. Earl, Your Majesty has prepared a place for you to live in Beijing, and arranged for servants, your daily necessities, Your Majesty has also prepared for you, even if you stay, I believe that the king of your country will definitely not embarrass you after hearing about Your Majesty's hospitality." Sun Yuanhua said.

"Mr. Sun, it will take three years for the ambassador of England to arrive in Daming, which is too long, I need to think about it." Count Arrendell said.

"Mr. Earl, don't remember to make a decision yet, and I'll take you to see the residence that His Majesty has arranged for you." Sun Yuanhua said.

Count Arrundell nodded helplessly.

"Mr. Harvey, during your time in the Empire, I would like to hire you as the deputy head of the Imperial Western Medical School, and take up teaching and research work in the Western Medical School, of course, the expenses and materials required for your research will be provided by me, I don't know if you are willing?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Your Majesty, engaging in medical research is my greatest hobby, and Your Majesty can support my research free of charge, of course I am willing." William? Harvey nodded.

"That's very good, tomorrow I will personally take you to the Western Medical School." Zhu Youxiao said.
