Li Jinde and others stayed in London for less than a month, and the silk and porcelain they brought were almost all sold out by the enthusiastic British nobles. This was the first time that Chinese merchants came to sell silk and porcelain. The goods they sold must be completely authentic Chinese goods, so they were particularly sought after by local nobles.

During this period, Charles I was busy preparing for the establishment of a royal envoy and recruiting ships to China for trade.

Li Jinde and his friends were in a difficult situation, so they couldn't refuse Charles I. They could only wait for the royal envoys to be formed with worry, and then return to China with them.

"We collect some oil paintings, wool products, glassware, and wine, and then transport them back to Xiamen Bay. We bring the envoys of the King of Britain to promote this magical experience, which will definitely be a big seller!" Li Jinde's era had learned to hype and thought of the possibility of profitability.

Not only can you make money by selling porcelain and silk to Europe, but you can transport some European novelties back and hype it up, and maybe you can make money. Of course, it is also possible to lose money. Li Jinde is taking a risk, but there must always be the first person in the world to try it out.

Li Jinde and others searched for some rare goods in the city of London or slightly inferior to those in Chinese, and moved them to merchant ships, and prepared fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh water and ready for the sailors to return.

Originally, Li Jinde planned to go to France, Spain and other countries to see what happened, but he heard that North African pirates and European pirates were rampant, so he gave up this idea. His merchant ship was not an armed merchant ship equipped with artillery. If their group encountered pirates and became slaves, it would be a disaster.

"Everyone, the envoys are ready. This time, led by Princess Sophia and Sir Greenville, the Crown Prince battleship accompanied, and three armed merchant ships will carry our British goods to the distant China for trade." Earl of Stratford found Li Jinde and said to them.

"Will the princess we saw in the palace go to China?" Li Jinde had a headache. The other party sent out the princess. This was already a diplomacy between the country and the country. If the other party could not see Chu Yun, his old face would be thrown to the West.

"It is Princess Sophia, who is the youngest daughter of the former king. You must be optimistic about her safety in China. Please give me yours." Earl of Straffor said to Li Jinde and others.

"I'll do my best." Li Jinde was able to keep a princess' safety as a princess, and could only try his best to protect her, otherwise he would become a sinner in the future.

The Crown Prince's sail battleship was returning to London from the North American colonial protection merchant ship, and received the order from Charles I to protect the envoys to go to the distant China.

Sir Greenville also came from her own place. On the surface, Princess Sophia had the highest status, but in fact, Sir Greenville was commanding.

The Crown Prince is a three-deck battleship with more than 50 artillery pieces, similar to the seven sail battleships built by Chu Yun on the local area. Their performance may be slightly weaker. However, it was already very fierce in the era of sail battleships, and it served until Britain and the Netherlands competed for maritime hegemony.

The three armed merchant ships also arrived in London. They were all British merchants who volunteered to trade in China. Each merchant ship had about 10 artillery pieces on it, and the number and artillery were incomparable to warships. However, such a fleet could already make the pirates retreat. Pirates were also afraid of death. Unless they wanted to die, they would not challenge the fleet of the Crown Prince and the three armed merchant ships.

More than a month after Li Jinde and his friends arrived in London, Charles I's royal envoy finally confirmed the list of personnel, and various supplies of the Crown Prince and the armed merchant ship were also prepared.

Sophia, Greenville and other nobles came to the dock with dozens of servants, dressed in gorgeous clothes, attracting the attention of tens of thousands of London citizens.

The King of Britain has had a tradition of hundreds of years, and the citizens of London all have a respect for the royal family. The citizens of London knew that the youngest daughter of the former king was going to serve as ambassador to go to China, which was tens of thousands of miles away. They said word of mouth and came to the port to see off their farewell.

"Princess Sofia, the Crown Prince has vacated a cabin. The servant has sorted it out for you in advance and absolutely guarantee your safety." The captain of the Crown Prince said to Princess Sofia.

Princess Sophia just nodded slightly. Her identity is extremely noble in Britain, second only to the king.

"Except for the few people on the list, the rest of the nobles were scattered on other armed merchant ships, and the position of the Crown Prince was not enough." The naval officers on the Crown Prince battleship were responsible for arranging members of the Royal Envoy.

Only a few noble princesses, earls and marquis, such as Princess Sophia, Sir Greenville, can have a position in the safest Crown Prince, and other nobles can only go to armed merchant ships.

"Father, I want to go to the Chinese ships." A noble woman said to Sir Greenville.

"You bring two maids here." Sir Greenville was not worried about how Li Jinde and others would treat their daughters. The other party came from a civilized country that valued morality.

Seeing the anchored battleship of the Crown Prince, Li Jinde and a group of Oriental sailors felt very safe. After all, there were three thick decks, and each deck had long cannons ranging from 9 to 32 pounds.

When they went from Xiamen Bay to London, they never thought that the European waters were full of dangers, and they also thought about whether they would encounter pirates on the way back. However, after seeing the British royal family sent a sailing battleship and three armed merchant ships equipped with smoothbore guns to escort, they felt relieved.

There is no reason for ordinary pirates to take the initiative to attack a fleet with such firepower.

"Have you noticed that this warship in Britain is very similar to the battleships that the Nanyang Fleet patrols in Xiamen Bay from time to time?" An apprentice discovered that the battleship of the Crown Prince was somewhat similar to the Daqin.

"Maybe warships with such structures are more suitable for combat on the ocean, this is convergence." Li Jinde thought for a while.

"You said that we would cause a huge sensation in Xiamen Bay with the princesses in the Western Region..." the apprentice asked.

"It's not a question of whether it can be done or not, it's certainly. This is unprecedented." Li Jinde said.

"Shopkeeper, there is a noble woman planning to get on our ship!" a sailor shouted.

When Li Jinde saw a woman with two maids breaking onto their merchant ship, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is it you!"
