The soft sails of the 980-ton "Daming Mountain" armed merchant ship had been raised, and with the help of the Atlantic breeze, it broke through the blue waves and rushed southward. Clementina", "Roman. Duran", Isabelle. Deneuve", as well as two other British merchant ships, the "New Shijie" and the "Oriental Clipper". On the bow and mast of the seven galleons, the flag of the British Empire was flown high.

Zhu Jishi asked Han Si to move a chair and place it on the aft deck, sitting upright on it, staring ahead. This is the Atlantic Ocean near the Portuguese coastline, but the coast is not visible, surrounded by vast blue waters, and the winter sunset is reflected in the rolling sea, shimmering gold. On the opposite side, several warships of the Spanish Empire were approaching, all twice as large as the merchant ships of the Empire.

Even if it is a European power that has long been weakened, the sea liliang that it has is still something that no eastern country can face, Zhu Jishi sighed softly, thinking to himself, the military academy of Jishi University only trains army officers, not naval officers!

The real killer weapon of the British Empire is not the small army with only tens of thousands of guns, but the Royal Navy that dominates the entire Shijie sea! If one day, they want to turn against the British Empire, the British do not need to send their land forces to invade at all, as long as they use their navy, they can blockade China's coast and cut off their own contact with the West, which is enough to interrupt China's modernization process......

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on his face - Britain in the 19th century was really not easy to provoke, similar to the American imperialism of later generations, where there was chaos, there was a phantom of the British Empire, and his descendant of Zhu Ming, who was about to bring endless disasters to the stable and united Manchu Dynasty, was not a vicious dog released by the British Empire?

"Sir," I don't know when, the "big butler" Liu Peng has quietly walked to Zhu Jishi's side, and said with a smile, "Looking at the sea view?" ”

"Ah, it's Muwen." Zhu Jishi turned his head to look at him and said with a smile, "Come out to breathe, it's really miserable these days." ”

For this Sir Zhu's seasickness, everyone felt incredible, didn't this invent the special medicine "Panmec Solution" to relieve seasickness? Why are you dizzy and don't like to talk?

"Has the lord taken medicine?" Liu Peng asked with concern.

"If you eat it, if you don't eat it, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it to Hong Kong alive." Zhu Jishi smiled bitterly, he finally ate H heroin! Not to mention, the effect of this medicine is really speechless, the feeling of nausea is completely gone, and I even ate a grilled steak just now - this is the first meal Zhu Jishi has eaten in a few days.

I don't know if the protagonist in the later life travel novel will get seasick? Zhu Jishi said in his heart: "The degree to which a wooden ship of more than 900 tons is bumped in the North Atlantic is really unimaginable for people who have no seafarer experience!" It is no wonder that the Panzac solution invented by himself will become the munitions of the navies and armies of Western countries. ”

"Seasickness is a process of adaptation, and my subordinates were dizzy when they first started running at sea, but they got used to it after a few years, and the lord will definitely get used to it in the future." Liu Peng said with a smile.

"That's right, you have to get used to it," Zhu Jishi said with a smile, "In the next few years, although our roots are rooted in Hong Kong, Nanyang is our real stage." ”

"Sir, isn't it inappropriate to put down roots in Hong Kong?" Liu Peng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Especially the Military Academy, it's better to put it in Lanfang." ”

"I can't help this matter," Zhu Jishi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Nanyang is now the British Empire has the final say, if I move the military academy to Lanfang, what will the British think?" However, the cadets to be recruited by Hong Kong's military academies are not only Qing people, but also students from the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, the Kingdom of Sarawak, and the Kingdom of Siam. ”

Liu Peng bowed and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Zhu Jishi stood up, walked a few steps on the rickety deck with his hands behind his back, and sighed: "Muwen, to tell you the truth, I want status in the West, I want women to have women, and I want silver to have silver, how happy and happy do I really want to be?" But step by step, somehow, I walked on this path, you say, is this fate? ”

"This is the life of the lord, the lord is the true son of heaven! It is the overseas son of the Ming Dynasty! Liu Peng thought about it and replied with a positive face.

"True Destiny?" Zhu Jishi smiled faintly, and thought: "Even this kind of thing has been encountered by myself, if there is really any real destiny in the world, it probably belongs to me, right?" I just don't know how the Daoguang Tianzi in Beijing will feel when he hears the news that he has come to Hong Kong? Did Emperor Daoguang see the letter he wrote? ”

……

When Zhu Jishi left England and went to Hong Kong Island, it was the first month of the 25th year of Daoguang in the Huanghuang Qing Dynasty. A team of chariots and horses from afar is lining up and slowly passing through the tall city gate hole, entering the residence of the Son of Heaven of the Qing Dynasty. Among them was a strange-looking carriage, four-wheeled and two-horseed, with wide carriages and transparent glass windows on both sides, which was a Western-style carriage. Sitting in the carriage were two noblemen in long shirts and leather robes, surrounded by fox furs, and wearing warm hats.

"Sir, according to the public law of the Westerners, the signed treaty must be approved by their parliament, and the emperor and the president can only be counted, so the "Wangxia Treaty" signed by us and Citigroup still has room for turnaround, as long as the "Banzai Lord" is no, you can talk with the minister of Citigroup again, and then put forward the example of aiding France, and remove the second, twenty-first, and thirty-second paragraphs of the "Wangxia Treaty."

The person who spoke was Bai Siwen, who had followed Zhu Jishi, and now he was already a fourth-grade civil official of the Qing Dynasty with the rank of prefect.

"This ...... Can it really work? In case Citigroup raises troops to attack, it will be another catastrophe. ”

The answer was the general of Guangzhou who was ordered to betray the country, and the minister of the Qin Mission, Aixin Jueluo. At the present time in history, Qiying should have continued to negotiate with the powers of various countries on the issue of opening up to Guangzhou in Guangzhou. However, in this time and space, Qiying was summoned back to Beijing City by Emperor Daoguang with a holy decree sent by an expedited courier of 800 miles.

"Sir, please rest assured, this Citigroup country is far inferior to the English country, and they have no colonies around the Qing Dynasty, if you want to send troops, you must drift directly from the mainland, tens of thousands of miles away, really come to us, and the veterans of the division are tired. Moreover, this Citigroup country has to fight with Mexico recently, and it can't take care of us here at all. ”

Bai Siwen said eloquently, he arrived in Guangzhou at the end of October last year, spent money to enter the Qincha minister Qiying curtain, claimed to have traveled around the Western countries, all night long, and had an old relationship with the French minister Marquis Lacaly, and could lobby on his behalf. As a result, he was entrusted with a negotiation mission by Qiying, and the result was a blockbuster, overturning all the draft unequal treaties signed by Qiying and the French consul in Guangzhou (of course, they could not enter the city of Guangzhou), and another draft equality treaty of "Sino-French mutual assistance" was reached. After reporting to the imperial court, Emperor Daoguang was naturally happy, and Qiying was awarded the title of first-class duke, and was promoted to the governor of Liangguang; Bai Siwen climbed to the sky in one step, not only forgave all the previous crimes, but also rewarded the identity of Manchuria with a yellow flag and became a genuine Manchurian, and gave it to the prefect of Guangzhou. and recruited both of them to enter Beijing to meet them.
