Iron Dynasty

The scenery outside the window is fleeting as the steam locomotive drives.

Brooke and Henry both had complex expressions on their faces. Although there were rumors about steam locomotives in Europe, what they saw with their own eyes was beyond shock.

Woooo...

The whistle of the train sounded, which meant that the steam locomotive was about to enter the station. This locomotive had already stopped at two platforms on the way, and this was the third one.

Looking at each other, Brooke and Henry looked out of the window at the same time. At this time, the trees on both sides of the railway gradually disappeared, and the locomotive entered the outside of a city.

Here, black smoke columns rose into the sky, braving black smoke or white smoke, and the noisy sound of the steam engine could be heard clearly even when he was sitting in the carriage.

They understood that this was the industrial area of ​​the Great Yu Kingdom, a special area with many factories, and they also saw similar areas in the two cities when they came.

It's really scary. The industrial development of the Great Yu country is too fast. It is said that a few years ago, the factories were only distributed in Qingzhou. Now it seems that every city has its own industrial area.

Brooke said that he was ordered by the Queen of England to come to the Great Yu Kingdom.

Henry, who was sitting opposite Brooke, came from France and came to Dayu on behalf of France. He said: We got on the bus from Dengzhou, and it has not arrived in Qingzhou for five hours. This is the most terrible thing. The locomotive is in France, we have already crossed France, and what you see now is only three cities, you can imagine how many such cities are on this land, and to fight against such a country, our country is crazy.

Brook was arrogant before he came to Qingzhou, but now he suddenly felt a burst of inferiority.

With a sigh, he said, I hope this time we can reach an agreement with the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, otherwise it will be a real disaster.

Unlike Brooke, Henry came from the military and was a soldier before he came here. He said: It may be a good thing for France, Andre's stupid policy is taking France into the abyss, and it is time for someone to wake him up. .

When the two were chatting, the locomotive had already purchased coal and water, the whistle sounded again, and the steam locomotive rumbled forward, and they were going to Qingzhou, the bottom station of the steam locomotive.

Tang Wenjie sat on the left side of Brooke and Henry across the sidewalk. Although the conversation between the two was very quiet, some words still fell into his ears.

For him, who is proficient in European languages, he can easily judge the general meaning of what the two said.

With a sneer in his heart, Tang Wenjie said in his heart, The things that make you afraid are still to come.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the steam locomotive slowly entered Qingzhou Battle. This time, the locomotive did not stop at the platform in the city, but stopped at the new station outside Qingzhou City, Qingzhou East Station.

With more and more stations connected to Qingzhou, the old Qingzhou station has been unable to handle the huge number of locomotives, so the railway department established a larger number of locomotives.

platform, while the old station only stops a few trains.

Compared to the industrial area they passed by on the road, Brooke and Henry really opened their eyes this time. Compared to the industrial area in Qingzhou, the other cities were simply insignificant.

An industrial zone outside Qingzhou City is connected to an industrial zone, which surrounds the entire Qingzhou City.

The two messengers are leading your people to come with me. You must not walk around, otherwise it will be very troublesome to be caught by the guards. Tang Wenjie seemed to remind, but in fact it was a fright.

Although Qingzhou's prosperous industry can't be hidden, he still wants these people to know less about it.

Brook and Henry dare not be careless, they belong to the defeated, and it is wise to be honest, otherwise their improper words and deeds will only bring disaster to the country.

Step by step, they followed behind Tang Wenjie, and the group walked towards Qingzhou City along the spacious cement road.

On the way, the two looked at the road under their feet from time to time, and stared at the passing bicycles and tricycles. Everything here was so magical that they were overwhelmed.

When they were about to arrive at the entrance of the city gate, their hearts were suddenly taken away, because there were soldiers lining up on the side of the road on both sides of their city gate.

The soldiers wore dark green uniforms and helmets on their heads, with one hand placed vertically on their legs, and the other with a bayonet-mounted musket placed vertically on the ground.

There are also six field guns with strange shapes in the middle of the team, but their terrifying lethality can be seen from their appearance.

Henry and Brook suddenly felt a chill behind their backs, this was the Great Yu Kingdom showing them its powerful military power, and what they also meant by clearing these soldiers.

Fighting such a powerful empire in Asia, the farthest continent from Europe, is insane.

Tang Wenjie noticed the expressions of the two, and he was very satisfied with it. They haven't shown everything yet. As for whether they need to use the things they haven't shown, it depends on their sincerity.

Entering Qingzhou City, Tang Wenjie arranged the two in the inn of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At 3:30, he led the two to the palace.

In the Hall of Justice, Xiao Ming was already waiting for the two of them. For him, sending an envoy from Europe was undoubtedly a low-profile gesture. They began to realize that it was necessary to reduce head-on conflicts.

Broke, Henry sees the respected Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom.

When they arrived in the hall, Brook and Henry saluted one after another, and then they took out the gift list and read out the names of a lot of luxurious items, such as pearls, gold statues, gems and the like.

Xiao Ming didn't dare to be interested at all, he just listened to it. After all, no amount of gems would be as real to him as a colony.

The two finished the ceremony.

Xiao Ming said solemnly: Your combined fleet attacked Dengzhou, killed my people, and destroyed my ship. Do you think that just a few treasures can send me away? If you are not sincere, take these things back. Besides, The Great Yu Kingdom has officially changed its name to the Chinese Empire, and the Great Yu Kingdom is over.

Brooke and Henry's heart tightened, the Emperor of Yu Kingdom was so aggressive as soon as he opened his mouth, which made them very nervous, but who made them lose the battle?

There is nothing wrong with the emperor speaking as a victor.

Brooke was well prepared, he said: Dear Your Majesty, this is exactly why we came here, this time the combined fleet is completely because we listened to the bewitchment of the Spaniards to cause this misunderstanding, but the consequences have already been caused, and now We just want to make amends for the wrongs committed this time, and hope that His Majesty will be able to calm down.

Xiao Ming sneered. It is always the practice to pass the fault to the weaker party. This time Spain lost all its colonies in Asia, and they can betray it without any scruples.
