Iron Dynasty

Dengzhou.

Looking at the steam locomotive, Schroeder's heart beat unsatisfactorily. The stimulation he received in Dengzhou in the past two days was really big enough.

Before coming to Da Yu, he never paid attention to the country, until the Dutch brought back steam engines from Da Yu, and at the same time spread the prosperity of Da Yu to the whole of Europe.

And this made King Philip II of Prussia also tempted, especially when he learned that France and the United Kingdom stole more advanced technology and produced more advanced firearms from the Great Yu Kingdom, he became more and more unable to sit still.

After all, Prussia is now weaker than France. If they fall behind again in firearms, they will lose more of their right to speak in Europe, and the reunification of the German Confederation will be far away.

Because of this, the Prussian mission came here, they believed that the Great Yu needed an ally in Europe now, and they would be more reliable than the Dutch.

Everyone, please take your time to visit. 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.

On Schroeder's side is the current Dengzhou prefect Luo Xingyi. He used to be Yang Chengye's most effective acceptance. After Yang Chengye entered the cabinet, Luo Xingyi was appointed as the next Dengzhou prefect under the review of the cabinet to be in charge of Dengzhou's government affairs.

Thank you, Governor Luo, you are such a good person. Schroeder showed a grateful look.

This time they came to Dayu Country with very little preparation, and even when they arrived in Dengzhou, they didn't have a single person who could speak the language of Dayu Country to be in charge of communication.

If it weren't for the large number of translators in Dengzhou's foreign affairs office, they would probably have come back without success this time.

Luo Xingyi stroked his beard and smiled. Having been in Dengzhou for a long time, he was already familiar with the Westerners who came to Dayu to do business, but it was the first time he met a Prussian person.

According to his knowledge, this Prussia can only be said to be a small country in Europe at present, and its status is similar to that of the Netherlands.

However, the navy of the Dutch is slightly higher, and the army of Prussia is stronger. Therefore, unlike the United Kingdom, countries such as France can expand their power to Asia, but only have some small territories in the Americas and Africa.

It's a trivial matter. In that case, the messenger will visit slowly. This official has other important matters, so he can't accompany him. Naturally, there are people in the foreign affairs office.

Luo Xingyi bowed his hands. As the governor of Dengzhou, he was very busy.

Since the railway has been connected to Dengzhou, the development of Dengzhou can be described as changing with each passing day, and now a large number of businessmen choose to build factories in Dengzhou.

In this way, their goods can be transported to Goryeo, Wa Kingdom, 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 developing problems to Dengzhou, all of which are considering his ability.

In addition, the strength of the Great Yu Kingdom made him very confident now, and he was just a normal person when he treated Westerners. The foreign affairs offices of these embassies were responsible, and he didn't need to ask more.

The reason why he came this time was just a normal etiquette procedure.

Before arriving in the Great Yu Country, Schroeder still had a conflicted heart towards the Great Yu Country. After all, all Europeans now believe that Europe is the center of the world and that this world should be ruled by white people.

Even though the war in Europe continued, this idea was deeply rooted, but now everything in the Great Yu Kingdom has completely subverted his idea.

From the moment he disembarked, he paid attention to all kinds of new things along the way, warships with black smoke at sea, fishing boats using huge trawling nets, soldiers carrying advanced firearms, and various exquisite industrial products on the market.

Everything here has destroyed the image of the Great Yu country, which is full of gold, but the indigenous people are very ignorant.

Watching Luo Xingyi leave, Schroeder was still in the mood. He took a deep look at the steam locomotive, and then begged the officials of the Foreign Affairs Office to lead them to visit the factories in Dengzhou and even the naval base.

In the afternoon, Schroeder could be said to be in constant shock. The popularity of the steam engine in the Great Yu Kingdom and the use of various magical machines made him stunned.

Returning to Dengzhou City with a shocking mood, they got the news in the evening that they could take a steam locomotive to Qingzhou for an audience tomorrow.

Prepare our gift to the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom. This time we want to establish a long-term relationship with the Great Yu Kingdom. The foolish British and French, their misjudgment will be our chance. Schroeder Full of confidence.

The next day, they were woken up early by officials from the Foreign Affairs Office.

With his own gift, Schroeder boarded the steam locomotive to Qingzhou under the guidance of the officials.

Sitting on the seat, Schroeder looked out the window nervously. At this time, the dense crowd of people was squeezing from the platform to the steam locomotive, which surprised him.

Because he realized that the use of steam locomotives in the Great Yu Kingdom seemed to be an ordinary thing.

Thinking like this, the steam locomotive slowly moved forward after the loud whistle sound. Schroeder no longer thought about this, but looked out the window with all his heart, and at the same time realized the speed of the steam locomotive's increasing speed.

When the scene in his eyes passed quickly in his eyes, Schroeder finally couldn't help but exclaimed, This is really a magical country.

With the roar of the train, the six hours seemed to flow very fast. They set off in the morning and arrived at Qingzhou Station in the afternoon.

Arriving outside the platform following the flow of people, Schroeder's eyes instantly widened. Compared with Dengzhou, Qingzhou's prosperity was different.

Especially when he saw someone riding a two-wheeled iron frame speeding on the street, he couldn't calm down even more, which seemed very strange to him.

However, the accompanying officials obviously did not want to explain anything, and took them directly to the palace.

After a brief briefing, they were taken to a beautiful garden.

In the center of the garden, a young man dressed in bright yellow clothes was waiting for them, surrounded by some serious officials.

Your Majesty, these are the Prussian messengers. The official of the Foreign Affairs Office said with a bow.

Xiao Ming nodded, and he asked directly: You all come to the Great Yu Kingdom and don't know what you are doing?

Schroeder is also a person who has seen the world. He often travels to and from various European countries and is used to meeting high-ranking people.

He said: Respected Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, we are the envoys of Prussia in Europe. We came here to establish a stable trade relationship with the Great Yu Kingdom, and I hope the Great Yu Kingdom Emperor can agree.

Prussia? That country on the coast of the Baltic Sea? 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.
