Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1760
In 1650 AD, the fleet of envoys from all countries arrived in Tianjin Wei.

A row of officers and soldiers stood on the pier. They wore uniforms and carried muskets on their backs. They looked uniform.

The Tianjin Guard General Soldier held a sword at his waist, and led a few guards to patrol back and forth.

Knowing the arrival of the envoys from all nations, Tianjin Wei needs to watch the lively residents gather at Tianjin Wei Wharf and the nearby streets, resulting in the blockage here. Out of an open space and the main road leading to the train station.

After all, this is a rare event recently, and it is said that all the major kingdoms outside the sea have sent delegations here.

This is not a tribute trade, but a grand event to establish a real world trade system.

"Everyone, this is Tianjin Wei, the northern water and land terminal. Please disembark the guests on the Dongfang first, and then disembark from the rest of the ships."

The captain of the Vostok changed into formal attire, and his mission came to an end for the time being.

The steamship escorting the fleet of envoys from all nations left the fleet after arriving in the Yellow Sea and went to the Imperial Shipyard for a major inspection.Vostok is also going to inspect the steam power system.

It is absolutely safe in the Bohai Rim. The Zhili fleet is patrolling Weihaiwei, Lushunwei and other places. No one dares to make trouble in the hinterland of the empire.

"Finally, we are about to arrive at the capital in the east."

When the envoys from various countries learned that they were going to take the legendary train from this city to the capital, they were finally relieved.

The Orient liner made the long voyage less uncomfortable, but after a long voyage, everyone is tired.

Now, they are about to meet the city that represents the highest technological level in the East.

"Father, can I see the two older brothers and sisters in the capital?" A 12-year-old Portuguese princess asked King Joao IV of Portugal.

She spent some time with Chu Lingyun and Chu Xueer a few years ago.

"Caterina, you should see them, but you have grown up now, and you may not be able to play as well as you did a few years ago." Joao IV patted her head.

On the deck of the Orient, the Crown Prince Louis XIV of France saw the outline of Tianjin Wei with curiosity in his eyes.

During the meal at the restaurant of the Orient, Sophia, who was most familiar with the situation in the East among the envoys, mentioned to them a little about the new technologies that had begun to be popularized in the capital and some large eastern cities, which made Louis XIV full of expectations.

The Emperor of Persia, the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, the Duke of Brandenburg, the Princess of Tsarist Russia, the King of Bengal and others all came to the deck, and they looked at the land of the Eastern Empire in awe.

More or less, the empires and kingdoms represented by these people were once beaten by the Kyushu Army.

Soon there will be special steamboats to pick up these princes and nobles to dock.

"Her Majesty Queen Sophia, please board the ship first."

Obviously, Sophia and her party were given preferential treatment here, which made the envoys of other kingdoms feel complicated.

The delegations came to the shore one by one by steamboat. They were somewhat shocked when they saw the neat guards on the pier and the crowds of residents watching the excitement.People here dress differently from them.

"We have prepared the car and will send you to the train station at a high rate, while the others will then be sent to the capital by truck."

Tianjin Wei Zongbing pointed to the convoy of T-cars and trucks parked beside the pier.

In order not to cause huge chaos and to show amazing industrial power, this time 50 Model T cars and 25 light trucks were used to send the envoys to the train station!
There was a long queue of brand-new Model T cars, their bodies overflowing with metallic texture.And behind the Model T is a light truck with a diesel engine!
"What is this?" Not many ambassadors from various countries have ever seen a car. When they saw a long queue of motorcades, their first reaction was to ask what it was.

"This is a four-seater car, and you can see it as a substitute for a horse-drawn carriage."

The Tianjin Guard General Soldier said as he opened the car door for Sophia: "Your Majesty, the little prince and princess please."

"My queen, I want to sit in the front!" said Prince Henry.

Because Sophia brought an old-fashioned four-wheeled car to England, and the merchant ships that travel between the East and the West will bring some gasoline there every year, so the car that Chu Yun gave Sophia has been used all the time. Nobles were less surprised by cars.

"Okay, but don't disturb the driver uncle." Sophia said on the phone.

Prince Henry excitedly came to the front seat, while Sofia and the little princess sat in the back seat.

Envoys from other kingdoms followed suit and boarded the car one after another.

"Why are there no horses and no camels?"

Sitting in the same car with another Persian dignitary, Persian Emperor Abbas II couldn't help muttering.

The Persian dignitaries panicked.Because of the limited space in the Model T, he was seated in the back seat with their emperor as equals, which is unimaginable.

Every prince and noble who had never seen a car was both uneasy and full of curiosity.

The question in their hearts is the same as that of Abbas II. Without horses, camels and other animal power, how can cars move around?

They thought of steamships again, but steamships always have strange chimneys, and cars don't use steam chimneys.

Seeing that the main princes and nobles had already boarded the Model T car, while the other not very important entourage had just disembarked from their own boats, the General Guard of Tianjin walked to the front Model T car and got in by himself. .He's going to lead the way at the front of the convoy.

"Let's go!" Tianjin Wei Zongbing said.

The car at the front honked its horn, and the long queue of Model T cars started.

The convoy of light trucks in the back has not moved at all, they are picking up and dropping off the secondary personnel of various missions, and they will all be stuffed into the trucks and transported to the train station.

"This, this... is really amazing..."

The Duke of Brandenburg sat in a Model T car, with Model T cars in front and rear, and residents on both sides.The car moves forward at a relatively slow speed, but in his opinion, a carriage that can walk without horses is simply unimaginable!
The Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire turned pale, and he was also terrified by the magic of the car.

Things like cars have surpassed the comprehension of an old man who is about to die.

Among the princes and nobles, young children are full of curiosity, and they can easily accept new things, while the older generation of princes and nobles are either afraid or puzzled.

Not only the T-model cars, but also the special street scenes such as telephone poles and street lamps on both sides of the street, residents riding bicycles on the side of the road, and children selling newspapers, etc. have brought them an unprecedented impact.
