Dengzhou.
Schroeder watched the steam locomotive driving his heart beat unsuspectingly. The stimulation he received in Dengzhou these past two days was really great.
Before coming to Great Chongqing, he never paid attention to the country of Great Chongqing until the Dutch brought back steam engines from Great Chongqing, and at the same time spread the prosperity of Great Chongqing throughout Europe.
This made King Ferrie II of Prussia tempted, especially when he learned that France and Britain had stolen more advanced technology and produced more advanced firearms from Great Chongqing, he became more and more unable to sit still.
After all, Prussia is now weaker than France. If they fall behind again on firearms, they will lose more of their voice in Europe, and a unified German Confederation will be nowhere in sight.
It is precisely because of this that the Prussian mission is here. They believe that Great Yu now needs an ally in Europe, and they will be more reliable than the Dutch.
"Everyone, please visit slowly. The news of your arrival has been sent to Qingzhou by the last steam locomotive. It is estimated that there will be a reply in the evening. If it goes well, you can arrive in Qingzhou tomorrow."
Schroeder's side is Luo Xingyi, the current governor of Dengzhou. He was once Yang Chengye's most effective acceptance. After Yang Chengye entered the cabinet, Luo Xingyi was appointed as the next governor of Dengzhou under the review of the cabinet and was responsible for the administration of Dengzhou.
"Thank you Luo Cishi, you are such a good person." Schroeder showed a grateful expression.
This time they came to Da Yu Country to prepare very little, and even when they arrived in Dengzhou, they did not have a person who could speak the language of Da Yu Country to be responsible for communication.
Had it not been for the large number of translators in the Foreign Affairs Office of Dengzhou, they would have returned without success this time.
Luo Xingyi stroked his beard and smiled. He has been in Dengzhou for a long time. He is already familiar with Westerners who come to Da Yu to do business, but this is the first time he has seen a Prussian.
According to his knowledge, this Prussia can only be said to be a small country in Europe at present, with a status similar to that of the Netherlands.
However, the Dutch navy is slightly higher, while the Prussian army is stronger. Therefore, unlike the United Kingdom, countries such as France can expand their power to Asia and can only have small territories in the Americas and Africa.
"It's a small matter. In that case, the messenger will take a look at it slowly. The official has important matters, so he can't accompany him. Naturally someone will accompany the foreign affairs office."
Luo Xingyi arched his hands. As the governor of Dengzhou, he was very busy.
Since the railway was connected to Dengzhou, the development of Dengzhou has been changing with each passing day. Now a large number of businessmen choose to build factories in Dengzhou.
In this way, their goods can be shipped to Korea, Wa, Sanshan Kingdom and Ryukyu by merchant ships as soon as possible.
The influx of a large number of businessmen is certainly a good thing, but it has also brought many development problems to Dengzhou, all of which are considering his abilities.
In addition, the strength of Dayu Country makes him very confident now, and he treats Westerners with a normal mind. The foreign affairs offices of these missions can be responsible, and he does not need to ask more.
The reason why he came this time was nothing more than a normal etiquette procedure.
Before arriving in the country, Schroeder was still ambivalent about the country. After all, all Europeans now believe that Europe is the center of the world and that the world should be ruled by white people.
Even though the war in Europe continues, this kind of thinking is deeply ingrained, but now everything in the country of Dayu has completely subverted his thinking.
From the moment he got off the ship, he paid attention to all kinds of new things along the way, such as the smoky warships at sea, the fishing boats using huge trawls, soldiers carrying advanced firearms, and various exquisite industrial products on the market.
Everything here has destroyed the country of Da Yu. It is a golden country, but the indigenous people are very ignorant of Europe.
Watching Luo Xingyi leave, Schroeder was still unfinished. He took a deep look at the steam locomotive, and then asked the officials of the Foreign Affairs Office to lead them to visit the factory in Dengzhou and even the naval base.
Schroeder spent the whole afternoon in constant shock. The popularity of the steam engine and the use of all kinds of magical machinery in the country left him stunned.
Back to Dengzhou City with a shocked mood, they got news in the evening, and tomorrow they can take a steam locomotive to Qingzhou for an audience.
"Prepare our gifts to the emperor of Great Yu. This time we are going to establish a long-term relationship with Great Yu. Stupid British and French, their prejudgment mistakes will be our chance." Full of confidence.
The next day, they would wake up the officials of the Foreign Affairs Office early.
With his gift, Schroeder boarded the steam locomotive heading to Qingzhou under the leadership of the officials.
Sitting down in his seat, Schroeder looked out the window nervously, as the crowd was squeezing from the platform into the steam locomotive, which surprised him a bit.
Because he realized that the use of steam locomotives in Da Yu country seemed to be a common thing.
Thinking about it this way, the steam locomotive slowly moved forward after the loud whistle. Schroeder no longer thought about this, but looked out the window wholeheartedly while experiencing the ever-increasing speed of the steam locomotive.
When the scene in his eyes flashed past his eyes, Schroeder finally couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is really a magical country."
Amid the roar of the train, six hours seemed to flow quickly. They set off in the morning and arrived at Qingzhou Station in the afternoon.
Following the flow of people to the outside of the platform, Schroeder's eyes instantly magnified. Compared to Dengzhou, Qingzhou's prosperity is different.
Especially when he saw someone on the street speeding on a two-wheeled iron frame, he couldn't calm down even more, which seemed weird to him.
However, the accompanying officials obviously didn't want to explain anything, and took them directly to the palace ~ EbookFREE.me ~ After a brief briefing, they were taken to a beautiful garden.
In the center of the garden, a young man dressed in bright yellow costumes was waiting for them, and around him were some serious officials.
"Emperor, these are Prussian messengers." The official of the Foreign Affairs Office bowed and said.
Xiao Ming nodded, and he asked directly: "You guys come to Da Yu Country, don't you know what you can do?"
Schroeder is also a person who has seen the world. He often travels to various European countries and has become accustomed to meeting high-ranking people.
He said: "Dear Emperor of Great Chongqing, we are the envoys of Prussia in Europe. We are here to establish stable trade relations with Great Chongqing. I hope that the Emperor of Great Chongqing can agree."
"Prussia? Is that country on the Baltic Sea coast?" Xiao Ming asked, he was not sure about the situation in Prussia now.
After all, contemporary historical records are useless at all, and the development of countries in this world is different.
