Three days later, the meeting place was finalized. On the British battleship "Angel" on the sea fifteen nautical miles away from the harbor of Zhenghe City.

Wu Shaorong, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Divine Kingdom, was the main participant in the meeting, and led a group of officials to the British fleet under the escort of the Dragon Thorn Special Forces and the Navy......

Originally, Chen Liansheng, Lin Zexu and others wanted to go in person to see what kind of medicine was sold in the British gourd. But Xie Lingqing thought that the other party was just a lieutenant general of the British army, although they met and intersected in the name of the country, but after all, the official position was not high. Although the British Empire is indeed very powerful, the Chinese Divine Kingdom must not fall into prestige!

Therefore, it was finally decided that the father and son of the Wu family, who had already served as foreign ministers, would go together.

Speaking of which, Zhao Wushuang came from later generations after all, and he was also a white-collar worker in the workplace, so his view of businessmen was naturally not as contemptuous as that of people of that era. After confirming that these people from the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou really had no two hearts, and were loyal to the Dragon God Sect and Huaxia, they did not hesitate to give them some sweetness.

Therefore, these representatives of the thirteen banks in Guangzhou, the Wu family, also became the foreign minister. In addition, some families have become executives of the Ministry of Finance, helping the Dragon God Sect manage the money and grain economy.

Several warships of the Chinese Divine Kingdom rode the wind and waves and headed for the ocean beyond the harbor. On the deck were rows of naval soldiers, all of them imposing. There is already a vague prototype of a world-class power navy, which is a little more powerful than the army that is attacking cities on the South Asian continent!

But this is also normal, after all, the place where the Dragon God Sect made its fortune is Guangzhou. Guangzhou was originally the only commercial port open to the outside world in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the most powerful and elite was the sailor. It can be said that the prototype of the military strength of the entire Huaxia Divine Kingdom is the previous Guangzhou Naval Division!

More importantly, Zao knew that it was the end of the Age of Discovery. The technology and routes of ocean navigation are also relatively mature, so the European powers compete for and open up colonies around the world, which belongs to the era of global maritime hegemony!

Zhao Wushuang wants a piece of the pie, and he wants to let the Huaxia Divine Kingdom step on the European powers to reach the top of the world! So now the naval arrogance of the Huaxia Divine Kingdom is also normal.

On the mighty steel battleship, Wu Shaorong was wearing elegant Hanfu and was talking to his old father who was a little pale.

"Father, you are old. Why follow me to the seas and meet the Englishmen? Even if our warships are excellent and stable at sea, they are not as comfortable as those on land. ”

Although Wu Bingjian was a little uncomfortable, he smiled, waved his hand and said, "Your father and I are not so fragile yet!" Yu Gong, you are the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I am the Vice Minister. It is right to follow you to meet with foreign officials. Selfishly, I'm afraid that my time is running out when I'm old, and I can really stiffen my waist and become an upright Chinese person! In the face of these powerful European powers, there is no longer the same trembling as before. Every time I think about it, I feel that I have no regrets in life. There are no regrets in life! ”

Wu Shaorong also looked very emotional: "That's right! If there was no supreme dragon god, where would we be today. Where is the Chinese nation today. ”

When the father and son said this, they were full of feelings.

Thinking that when Chen Liansheng and Xie Lingqing came to visit the Wu Mansion, they half-threatened and half-forced the Wu family to serve the Dragon God Sect, and the father and son were still unwilling in their hearts. And there is also the Guangzhou general who took the opportunity to make things difficult.

Looking back on it now, it's incredible!

Just when the father and son sighed and sighed, a naval soldier came to report outside: "Two ministers, we have arrived at the place where we have agreed to meet with the British side." The big ship ahead is the Angel. ”

Wu Shaorong and Wu Bingjian got up from their seats, and followed the guard out of the cabin. At a glance, I saw more than a dozen steam ironclad ships lined up on the sea in front of me.

A dozen of them are all steam ironclads! And it seems that the tonnage is not small, and it has a strong naval combat capability.

Wu Bingjian's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

How can a vice admiral have so many steam ironclads? And have the power to negotiate on behalf of the British government and our Chinese kingdom?

He suddenly felt that this was probably not so simple. But at this time, even if you feel that there is some problem, you can only go. Otherwise, it would be an international joke!

After all, the Dragon God Sect has already been founded, and it can't go sideways in the world, so it has to abide by the rules between countries.

The warships of the Huaxia Divine Kingdom they were riding in released small boats one after another, escorting the father and son of the Wu family, who represented the Huaxia Divine Kingdom, towards the British warships in front......

Angel number. Tall and handsome, Augustus was elegantly sipping a bottle of red wine from Burgundy, France. This thing is very popular with Western aristocrats, especially the red wine produced in Burgundy, France, which is very popular in high society.

"Miller, you are a Chinese Tai, can you tell me how those Chinese people have become so powerful in a short period of time? I have heard that this distant eastern empire is decaying and backward, barbaric, and has no civilization at all. Why did this group of people immediately go to the mainland of the East and become so powerful after they went overseas? ”

Augustus was indeed a little curious, so he asked a man wearing a priest's robe wearing a cross.

The priest named Miller smiled and said, "Metropolitan Augustus, you may not know something. Whether it is China or Huaxia, it is a term of great cultural nature. It is divided into many different ethnic groups. We generally believe that the orthodoxy of China and China came from the Han people, and it was the Han people who created a glorious civilization, and at the same time, only the Han people could take on the heavy responsibility of ruling China. Other ethnic groups live and work in peace and contentment in China under the rule of the Han people, complementing each other. But you know, sometimes things don't always stay the same. Other less advanced ethnic groups other than the Han Chinese, sometimes unwilling to obey, occupied China. This was the Manchu Qing dynasty from northeast China, the ruling class of what we now call the Qing Empire. ”

Augustus listened with relish: "Oh? I see. So you mean to say that the Qing Empire seems to be powerful, but in fact it is not powerful and advanced at the root? Is it a relatively backward nation? Not. According to your line of thought, the Han nation should be the greatest and most brilliant. Then I guess that this group of people who left China to invade the Indian colonies of the British Empire were mainly Han Chinese? The Han nation regained its dominance, so it quickly became powerful......" (To be continued. )
