Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1667 Triumph
"Welcome back." Queen Sophia led a group of English nobles and waited for three hours on the banks of the Thames until the fleet led by Chu Yun appeared.

Chu Yun, Sun Chuanting, Nelson, Prince Rupert and other big figures went ashore in the cheers of London citizens.

They defeated the Ottoman Empire for the second time, obtained a large amount of compensation and the territory of Greece, and their prestige reached a peak. In the eyes of English nobles and commoners, this is a hero.

Nobles and commoners worship the strong, winners and losers, nothing to do, even a tragic hero must have great military exploits!

"I kept you waiting for a long time." Chu Yun saw that Sophia and Dayuer were there, and his two sons and one daughter, Ling'er, Xin'er, and Xueer were also with Sophia and Dayuer.

Compared to Ling'er and Xue'er who had been by his side all the time, Xin'er, who was called Henry's little prince, was still a little stranger to Chu Yun, and followed his mother timidly.

"You have done a good job of putting our English navy among the best in Europe."

As the queen of the United Kingdom, Sophia also verbally praised Prince Rupert, George Monk, Blake and others who participated in the expedition.

She almost purged the veteran generals of the era of Charles I and let them retire with vain titles, while the promoted Prince Rupert, George Monk, Black and others were a group of relatively young generals.

"Your Majesty the Queen, we were able to win a big victory. The Royal Cavalry was the most courageous. They drove out the Turkish cavalry and the Crimean cavalry in battle after battle." Prince Rupert said.

"I will take out a bonus from the funds allocated to the royal family by Congress as a reward for the soldiers who participated in this expedition." Sophia said.

The large carriages had already stopped at the pier, and the Royal Infantry was responsible for the guards. With the standing army, the royal family did not need to have only a team of guards like Charles I.

Chu Yun continued to live in Whitehall Palace, which was a building complex like a small town, and it was more than enough to prepare a residence for Chu Yun's family.

"Ling'er, did you listen to Auntie Sophia?" Chu Yun still had high hopes for his first son, Ling'er.

"Who is... auntie!" Sophia said angrily when she saw that there were no outsiders around.

"Father, my little mother is very kind to me, like a big sister." Ling'er said.

Hearing Ling'er addressing herself as big sister, Sophia immediately smiled and said, "Good Ling'er, you must not learn from your father in the future, or you will not find a wife in the future."

Chu Yun rolled his eyes after hearing this, obviously he already has several wives, although most of them were collected because of the system...

"By the way, the new king of Portugal, Joao IV, led the Portuguese royal family to visit England recently. He wants to see you." Sophia mentioned an important matter to Chu Yun.

"Portuguese royal family..."

Chu Yun found that he visited Europe this time and met important figures from various forces.The Grand Vizier of Ottoman Turkey, the Medici Family of Italy, the Knights Hospitaller...

Now the King of Portugal also wants to come to see him.Although Portugal is a small country, it was once very rich as the country that opened the Age of Discovery.

Chu Yun went to live in Whitehall Palace, while Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao and others lived in the urban area.

The expedition to the Ottoman Empire ended successfully, and the officers had nothing to do for the time being, and they either went to taverns or teahouses to pass the time.

The crew of the Zheng He went to a tavern, which they liked more than a teahouse.A group of them poured into the tavern on the corner, and the navy uniforms they wore made the guests in the tavern respectful.

These people are soldiers who went on an expedition to the Ottoman Empire, and they deserve to be respected because of their status as victors!

"Just now I seemed to see Ling'er following the Queen of England. Could it be that he has something to do with the Queen of England?"

While everyone was chatting, Hannah suddenly mentioned Ling'er's identity.

Ling'er followed them on a round-the-world voyage, crossing the Pacific Ocean from Siberia to North America, then to South America and the West Indies, but after arriving in London, Ling'er separated from them.

"He is indeed related to the Queen of England, because he is the eldest son of the military master." Zheng Chenggong revealed Ling'er's identity, which surprised the crew members who were holding beer mugs.

Except for Zheng Chenggong and others who were entrusted by Chu Yun to take care of Ling Er, the other crew members did not know Ling Er's true identity. At this moment, they heard that Ling Er was actually Chu Yun's eldest son, and they were all surprised from ear to ear.

"The son of the military lord once participated in the voyage on the same ship as us, he is so young."

"I really can't believe it. Everyone on board this voyage may die. He also had two high fevers and was in danger of dying. Your lord really dared to take the risk."

The crew members of the Zheng He couldn't help discussing the topic of Ling'er. They took good care of this little guy during this voyage. Now that they knew the identity of the other party, they chattered about Ling'er-related topics .

"No wonder I saw him staying with the Queen of England. It seems that he will not accompany the Zheng He on the next voyage." Hannah said.

"After all, he has already announced his identity. Maybe someone has ulterior motives. In addition, we have already gone through the route in the Indian Ocean, and there is nothing new, so he should return to the mainland on the same ship with the military leader." Zheng Chenggong Said.

"Then our Zheng He will continue to complete the global voyage?" Hannah asked.

"The order I received was to stay in London and follow the fleet." Zheng Chenggong replied.

They have already traveled from the Pacific Ocean to Europe, and then they only need to go to the Indian Ocean to return to their homeland, then they have completed their circumnavigation.

"The Grand Fleet doesn't seem to have left the city of London yet, so what are they going to do in London?" Hannah asked again.

"It may be necessary to use the fleet to threaten the Western European countries. After all, only the Mediterranean world trades with us, and the markets of the major kingdoms of the European continent have not yet been opened."

"Do you know? It is said that the Portuguese royal family has come to England. Maybe we will use Portugal as a breakthrough to open up the Western European market." A crew member came back from outside the tavern, bringing important news.

"I'm thinking maybe we'll have to live in London for a while, why don't we take advantage of this time to travel in England." After Zheng Chenggong heard the news, he planned to travel to England with this opportunity, "Maybe we still have the opportunity to participate in the War with the European countries, if the negotiations between the military master and the Western European countries break down..."
