Chapter Ninety-Six: To Europe

"Your Majesty is going to Europe?" The two old ministers, Li Xiucheng and Yang Fuqing, the loyal kings, couldn't help but be shocked when they heard He Xuan's decision.

"Europe is tens of thousands of miles away, and it's a long way to go in this way. Li Xiucheng said.

"I don't know what kind of scenery Europe is like, and what strange things will happen there?" Yang Fuqing also shook his head: "Your Majesty, please think carefully before talking about going to Europe." ”

Li Xiucheng and Yang Fuqing are actually masterpieces in the world.

Especially the loyal king Li Xiucheng, when the firearms in his hands were not as good as Zeng Guofan, he defeated Zeng Guofan several times, and he was about to force Zeng Guofan to commit suicide. is really one of the top few outstanding people in the Taiping Army.

However, no matter how good they are, they are also people of this era.

The Chinese of this era basically do not know English.

It basically feels like Europe is too far away, far away to the edge of the sky.

To go there, it's just scary!

In history, when the Qing court was not extinguished, a publicly-funded study abroad was organized, which was a total of 30 indicators. Normally, this batch of indicators will be important after learning back.

However, at that time, the people in the Qing court, when they saw this indicator, refused to go to the United States if they avoided snakes and scorpions.

For them, going to the West is no different from going to the horizon.

They don't know anything about the West, and they are even more inexplicably afraid.

is a hero like Li Xiucheng, the king of loyalty, who doesn't know anything about the West at all, and has an inexplicable fear of the West.

"Western countries, in fact, that's what happened. You can rest assured. Now the strongest weapon in the West can't help me. Others are even more useless. He Xuan shook his head and said.

Zhongwang Li Xiucheng and Yang Fuqing thought about it, as if this was indeed the case, so they stopped blocking it.

"Then Your Majesty is here, how many people do you want to take with you?"

"Take someone, that's not necessary. He Xuan shook his head: "It's too troublesome to bring a lot of people, it's too difficult to transport thousands of people and tens of thousands of people to Western countries." Fewer people don't make a difference. I'll be alone. ”

Li Xiucheng and Yang Fuqing were also very helpless when they saw that He Xuan was not alone.

"But doesn't that require a few people to be around?"

"No need, when I was chased and killed by the Qing army, I walked with Dong Xiaomiao on Wuyi Mountain for a long time and it was fine. Survivability in the wild is at full level. ”

......

Seven days later, He Xuan took a ship to India.

In this era, there were no ships, and they went directly to the Western countries from China, and they needed to go to India first, and then turn around from India before they could go to Europe.

Voyage, begin!

It was a long voyage that would take only a few months.

During the voyage, it is also very boring to see the sea water every day!

He Xuan complained like this, took the boat, and finally arrived in India.

Now India is still a British colony, and it is very backward. Even, it is not as good as China under the rule of the Qing court. However, because this is a British colony, every once in a while, a ship will return to the UK.

Dani.

He Xuan bought a ticket for this ship.

It's time to get on the ship.

He Xuan carried a sword on his back and a small box and walked onto the boat. In the small box, there was some gold and silver, and I didn't bring much other things. Anyway, gold, silver, is the hard currency of this world.

Most of the people who got on the ship here were white Westerners, and there were also a very small number of Indians, looking at the clothes of these Indians, they were all gorgeously dressed, they should be rich people in India, and when they got on the ship, they all shrank to the back, and they never dared to cut in line with the Westerners.

After getting on the boat, I found the room I had booked.

There are several types of rooms on this Dani, and there is a huge difference in price.

For example, the first-class room is the most expensive, but on the deck, here, you can smell the freshest air. The light is also excellent.

Second class rooms, the price difference is quite a bit, a little below deck. The air and light are naturally worse than those of a second-class room.

The third-class rooms are on the lowest level of the cabin. The light was terrible, and the air was terrible. Naturally, the price is also the cheapest.

He Xuan didn't have a lot of money in hand, and he booked a first-class room.

When I entered the room, I found that this room was also very simple, about ten square meters, with a bed, a cabinet, and a small desk. In this era, the best room on the ship, that's it.

He Xuan lay on the bed and rested for a while, and after waking up, he looked at the time, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon. It's not time for dinner yet. It's not the same thing to be stuffy in the room all the time, He Xuan plans to go to the top of the deck and take a walk.

Above the deck, a number of chairs are provided.

White people, sitting or lying, chatting and talking to each other in English.

However, when they saw He Xuan, all the white people present were extremely stunned, as if they had seen something incredible.

A white man shouted, "When will the yellow race be able to get on the boat at such a moment?"

He shouted angrily.

Immediately, an Indian man wearing a first mate of clothes ran over, he saw He Xuan standing on the deck, and his face couldn't help but change, and he quickly approached He Xuan, first chattering a lot in Hindi.

But unfortunately, He Xuan didn't understand half of the sentence. Although it is said that his mental power is five, the difficulty of learning the language is much easier than that of others. However, learning English is almost the same, it is a universal language after all.

Where there is any interest, go and learn Hindi. India itself is a rather divided country. They themselves have dozens of languages, none of which are recognized as Indian, so learn a.

Here, I have to tell a joke. In the 21st century, there is not an Indian movie star named Aamir Khan, who is also quite popular in China. However, Aamir Khan's films, on the contrary, are not so many people watching them in India?

Why? He's still India's hottest star.

There is actually only one reason for this. The language of India is not uniform.

Aamir Khan's films, only some people in India can understand them, and some other people, because of the language, can't understand them directly.

Gossip back, the Indian spoke a lot, but He Xuan still didn't understand, he immediately switched to English: "You're not Indian?"

The corners of He Xuan's mouth twitched: "Do you think I look like an Indian? I am from the Dali Dynasty." The Dali Dynasty is China. ”

"It turned out not to be our Indians. It's a Chinese person. The Indian first mate breathed a sigh of relief.
