Chapter 882 Tianjin Guard

Nelson saw clearly the Crown Prince passing by one side, as well as some familiar British people on it. He said nothing, nor saluted the Royal Navy flag. He is now fighting under another flag, and is also responsible for completing the work and laying of cables on the Western Pacific in Shanghai.

Perhaps his grandson Chu Lingyun could rule Britain. When Nelson saw the flag of the Royal Navy, he suddenly thought that his grandson had both the bloodline of the two most glorious civilizations of the East and the West. He might be extraordinary smart, and he was likely to inherit the huge force created by Chu Yun and become the common ruler of the East and the West...

When Nelson thought of this, he was startled by his own thoughts. There has never been such a person in history.

"The iron ship is dragging a long line at the stern... No, it is putting the long line into the sea!" Sir Greenville discovered that the giant ship of the Orient seemed to be doing a strange work.

"Can it be the wires mentioned by Mr. Li?" Princess Sophia had heard Li Jinde say that the wires would be put into the sea. At this time, she saw that the Oriental was just laying cables, and she couldn't help but think of them.

"It's very likely that's the wire... Oh my god, it won't be a thousand miles long, right? What craftsmen are needed to produce wires that are more than a thousand miles long?" Sir Greenville's scalp was tingling.

"Maybe it is possible that the Eastern power we don't know and their huge population can do it." Princess Sophia can only temporarily call things such as steam and electricity that cross the ages mysterious Eastern power.

Because the Oriental Cable Ship was still slowly burying the submarine cables under the Bohai Sea, the Crown Prince fleet quickly passed by the Oriental.

The shadow of the Oriental was getting smaller and smaller, and the Royal Navy soldiers were still shocked. Who knew what they had just seen.

The destination of the Oriental fleet this time was Tianjin Wei, and then headed from Tianjin Wei to Beijing.

Tianjin Wei had already received a telegram from Xiamen Bay Customs in advance, not as haste as Xiamen Bay Customs before, but was prepared to receive a royal envoy from the other side of the ocean.

The Tianjin General of the Guards led hundreds of soldiers to maintain order at the dock. This time, not only were there hundreds of royal envoys, but there were also two or three hundred royal navy soldiers and merchants. It was not easy to place these people well.

"This city is called Tianjin Wei, which has existed hundreds of years ago, but it has only recently emerged." Li Jinde introduced the increasingly prosperous city to Salina.

"Why is it a city that has only emerged in recent years? You also said that Xiamen City was emerging before." Salina asked.

"Because we used to pay attention to land and canals. It was not until the military leader announced that the sea ban would be abolished forever and a large number of shipyards were established to encourage marine trade and transportation that the cities by the sea flocked to the sea in large numbers. Xiamen Bay, Dalian Port, and Tianjin Wei were the places with the greatest profits, and were far from prosperous now before." Li Jinde explained.

Tianjin Wei really became prosperous because everyone had to go to the capital. Not to mention, all the submarine cables had to pass through to arrive in the capital, which was destined to let Tianjin Wei start to take the stage of history.

There were many citizens watching the arrival of Western envoys on the dock. Since Chu Yun had agreed to receive the envoys from Britain, the Jiuzhou Army had already announced the news.

The Western kings who are thousands of miles away sent royal envoys to visit were originally something that would inspire the people, which would let the people know the sweetness of change and strengthen their support for the new policy.

"I heard that this time a country called Britain sent their princesses to pay homage to the military master. Their envoys were all blonde and blue-eyed Westerners." said a Tianjin resident.

"It is not uncommon for Westerners to come to our Tianjin Wei trade. Not long ago, there were some Dutch merchants coming, and some factories also had Westerners. It is no wonder that they are all blonde and blue-eyed. Some people's hair is light yellow and dark chestnut." Another Tianjin Wei resident said.

"What country is Britain, do you know?"

"I read the report from the Jiuzhou Daily. It seems that it is a country with a population of millions in the West, which is a little smaller than the Japanese, but their navy is far above the Japanese."

The news of the arrival of the British envoy has become a topic of conversation for Tianjin residents to chat after dinner.

"Britain...has it any connection with Lord Ella? Will Lord Ella be brought back to Britain?"

Wei Long came back from Japan and happened to arrive in Tianjin Wei. After learning the news, he couldn't help but think that his immediate boss, Aila, seemed to be "hired" by Chu Yun from the West.

"It shouldn't be true. Britain is just a small country with a population of millions. Can we still ask for people here? Moreover, Lord Ella has never seen her mention anything about the Western side except for our intelligence department and military commander." Wei Long's straight subordinate said.

"What you said makes sense. Lord Ella has been in charge of the Intelligence Department for so many years, and there is no reason to be taken back to the West. At worst, our Intelligence Department will go over and rob her back." Wei Long said.

"Yes, our Intelligence Department is afraid that a British king will not succeed!"

The Intelligence Department thought that Britain came here to ask for people, after all, the people summoned by Chu Yun were reasonably present here in the name of employment.

The Tianjin General of Guards brought people to greet the pier. Princess Sophia came down from the battleship of the Crown Prince in a gorgeous dress, attracting many residents to watch.

They have met many Westerners, but have never seen Westerners wearing gorgeous royal costumes. The appearance of Princess Sophia has amazed many people in her outfits.

"Is that the princess from the West? It's so gorgeous. We haven't seen any princesses or princesses for a long time." said the residents of Tianjin Wei.

After all the royal relatives were deposed by Chu Yun as civilians, they had never seen the princess.

"There are many servants behind her, and the show is really big."

Behind Princess Sophia, Sir Villinger and other nobles, servants, and Royal Navy soldiers then disembarked and entered the Tianjin Guard that guarded the capital.

"A very normal city." Sir Weilinger looked at Tianjin Wei and did not feel anything particularly shocking, but he always felt that something must be hidden behind him.
