Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1684 Playing Flying Chess with Nobles

The Holy Alliance Fleet gradually gained control of the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean, while Chu Yun played flying chess and drank black tea with the English nobles on the lawn of Whitehall Palace in England.

Chu Yun was playing chess with the King of Denmark, the King of Portugal, and Earl Leven of Scotland, while other nobles stood and watched.

The flying chess brought by Chu Yun is a very novel entertainment for the English nobles. Although they don't understand the meaning of the chess pieces, it doesn't affect them to quickly master the rules.

Flying chess does not require complicated skills. In fact, luck is very important, which makes it easy for people to learn. Even nobles who are playing chess for the first time can perform similarly to Chu Yun, making it easy for people who watch it to understand .

"It's really interesting. I offer 10 pounds to guess that Mr. Chu will win."

"Then I'll offer £20 to guess Earl Levin will win."

"For £15, His Majesty João will win."

Some English nobles around who couldn't participate in chess felt itchy, so they had to bet with each other in private to participate indirectly.

"Mr. Chu, aren't you worried that our fleet of the Holy Alliance will lose?" King Joao IV worriedly asked Chu Yun, who seemed calm, after throwing the dice.

"I shouldn't lose, so what if I did lose?" Chu Yun took the dice indifferently.

The Zhili Fleet and the Fourth Fleet together have five iron-clad steamships. They may lose, but they will never be destroyed. As long as there are iron-clad ships to protect him and return to the East, after ten or 20 years, with the help of the industrial revolution system, he It can even complete the second industrial revolution, and at worst make a comeback.

What are you afraid of?
The purpose of Chu Yun's arrival is to open up the market. In fact, the local market has been developing all the time. It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses outside. As long as the local productivity continues to improve, he can make a comeback again and again, and it will be easier every time.

The steam ironclad ship has just been commissioned into the fleet, Chu Yun has not opened the dreadnought ship, and the army has not yet equipped motorcycles and tanks...

Mainly the shipbuilding took too much time.

Seeing Chu Yun's indifference, the King of Denmark and the King of Portugal looked at each other inadvertently, wondering why Chu Yun would not take this war that will determine the future of Europe as a serious matter.In their view, if a war of this scale is not won, both Portugal and Denmark will be squeezed dry by the European Union, and they do not have a retreat like Chu Yun.

"Don't be distracted, I'm about to win." Chu Yun was concerned about the chess game and said to the two kings.

"Okay..." This time it was the King of Denmark's turn to roll the dice.

Chu Yun didn't know that he was leading the fashion trend in England invisibly. The nobles who were watching around quickly asked the Chinese merchants if there were such chess pieces and boards for sale. Flying chess, a magical game, became popular after Chu Yun left Europe. quickly swept across the continent.

While Chu Yun was playing chess with the king and nobles, Sophia, Ella, Da Yuer and other girls were just drinking tea and snacks, and Linger, Xueer, Xiner were playing with the little princess from Portugal.

Like Chu Yun, they can't help in the war, and they may be delayed if they go to the battlefield. Even Chu Yun is only planning strategically, instead of going to the front line to dictate.

Things like war are left to more professional professional soldiers.

"Sophia, how does it feel to be a queen? I never thought of asking the queen such a question before." Ella asked.

"Actually, I don't like arguing with those old guys in Congress, but the days in England are too boring. Instead of just participating in banquets, it's more interesting to participate in Congress. Sometimes I will take Xiner to Edinburgh, Scotland for a trip, Treat it as a distraction. The nobles and commoners of Scotland think that I am close to Scotland, so every two years they will invite me and Xiner to live temporarily in the palace in Edinburgh." Sophia mentioned to them in the chat that she is now life.

"That's not very interesting. You can travel to Scotland and quarrel with Congress and the cabinet." Da Yuer interjected.

"But this place is too old, there are a lot of novelty things missing, and I can't freely communicate my ideas with many people, and I have to play a wise queen in front of nobles and commoners who is not swayed by emotions. Image. Sigh, you don’t know my pain.” Sophia sighed, “Even now, Xin’er hasn’t gotten to know Mr. Chu very well. It’s really worrying. Why don’t you let him live in the East for a while?”

"Will you be willing? He is one of your few relatives now, except for your sister in the Netherlands." Da Yuer said.

Sophia was silent for a while. Indeed, if Xin'er were to follow Chu Yun back to the east, she would be completely alone here.

"What's more, the English Parliament and the cabinet will not allow the crown prince to leave England at such a young age. He is the only crown prince. Unless Sophia, you can be more confident and give birth to a little prince, this problem can be solved." Da Yuer said.

"What do you think I am... If you say you are born, you will be born." Sophia began to fight back against Dayuer, "I think sister Dayuer should add a boy. Although Mr. Chu believes that men and women are equal, there have always been men in the East. concept."

"I..." Da Yuer was rarely refuted by Sophia, and thought of something embarrassing, so she didn't continue talking, so she had to change the subject, "Sophia, what should you do after your lord returns this time? Maybe you can visit as a queen in the future East, since adults can visit the West, why can't the kings of the Western countries return?"

"Sister, what you said makes sense. I will also find a way to go to the East in the future." Sophia thought that Chu Yun only came here once in order to open up the market. .With a distance of tens of thousands of miles, it takes only 6 to 9 months for the sailboat to sail. The two parties cannot easily leave each other's countries because of their important identities. I don't know if they will see each other again in this life.

"If it doesn't work, I will wait until Xin'er becomes an adult and let him become the king of the United Kingdom in advance, and then I will go to the East to live in seclusion. Since the Middle Ages, there have been cases of early abdication of kings. If I insist, it should be accepted." Sophia Said.

If the members of the English Parliament and the cabinet knew that Sophia was acting like this, they would definitely want to cry without tears. The queen did not take the sacred position of the queen seriously at all, and wanted to abdicate early, which is simply child's play.
