Chapter 1561: Farewell Queen Sophia
The merchant fleet heading to the West will set sail again according to the schedule, and the fleet will also be accompanied by Sofia and his group returning to England. Near Tianjin Wei Wharf, there is an ironclad ship anchored on the sea, as well as many merchant ships, several sailing warships, and supply ships.
The dock area was crowded with people, and many civilians came to join in the fun.
However, there are also people who really bid farewell to Sofia and her group.
Chu Yun brought a group of officials to Tianjin Wei in person to see off his farewell, as well as the permanent ambassador of Britain and a group of related people.
Li Jinde's family also came to Tianjin Wei, and Sir Greenville and Mrs. Grace both bowed and bid farewell to the new queen.
"Sir Greenville, how many years do you really plan to stay here?" asked the English envoy to Sir Greenville.
"There is no way, my wife, daughter, and granddaughter are all here. I was originally loyal to King Charles and served him, but now King Charles is no longer here, I can only retire." Sir Greenville gave up on continuing to enter the English Parliament.
With his influence and identity, it was definitely a simple matter to gain a seat in the new Congress.
However, after Charles I was killed, Sir Greenville was indifferent to political engagement. He had a large estate in England, his son-in-law was a Chinese businessman, and his family had only one granddaughter, so he had no worries about food and drink, and even if he retired, he would have no problems.
"I thought it was wilderness, but I didn't expect it to be more prosperous than anywhere else. Tea and porcelain came from here. Sir Greenville, you're good to stay here."
After visiting the capital in the East, the newly arrived group of English envoys felt that Sir Greenville was more enjoyable to live here than returning to England. At least Europe was constantly fighting, and there was peace here, without strong enemies or large-scale wars.
"Her Majesty, after you return to England, you must take care of your health and cannot continue to look cynical." Salina came over to see Sophia off.
She and Sophia came to the capital on the same day, but the difference was that she stayed here, and Sophia was about to return to England for a sense of mission.
Princess Sophia, no, it should be said that Queen Sophia wore the dress she brought from England, as if she had become a different person.
"Salina, may God bless you to be safe and happy in the East. I will cherish our time here." Sophia's tone was plain, but Salina could hear that the mood behind her tone was not like this.
"Her Majesty, maybe it was wrong for me not to force you to return to England a few years ago... no, not necessarily wrong... If you were back to England at that time, you might be killed now..." Sir Greenville, as the leader of the first embassy regiments, chose to leave Sophia and Salina in the East at that time, which changed the fate of the two.
Sir Greenville has always been upset about this matter, but he didn't know whether it would be the best choice for him at that time.
"Sir Greenville, you don't have to feel guilty, I believe this is God's guidance," Sophia said.
On the dock, more than a dozen workers tried to push a two-seat car onto a small boat and then transport it to the ironclad ship. This car was given to Sofia by Chu Yun, and it was naturally Sofia's private property. Chu Yun was not afraid of leaking the car's technology. First, no one dared to dismantle the Queen's property for research. Secondly, a small car involved internal combustion engines, rubber, steel, gasoline, precision parts and other related technologies. By the time the West could build cars, there were probably a crowd of propeller planes here.
The whistle sounded on the dock, informing the Queen and others to prepare to board the ship.
"Mr. Chu, will you come to Europe in the future?" Sophia asked Chu Yun before preparing to board the ship, with a little reluctance in her eyes.
"If you have a chance in the future, you might go." Chu Yun said.
"Then, I'm farewell. Thank you for your hospitality these days. I hope we can have a day of goodbye." Sophia could not maintain too close relationship with Chu Yun in front of the English envoy. She is now the queen of the United Kingdom and is on an equal footing with Chu Yun.
"If you really can't hold on, you can come back." Chu Yun said.
"Yes." Sophia turned her back to Chu Yun, with tears in the corners of her eyes.
She was going to take the English envoys and Scottish envoys to board the boat and then board the ironclad ship.
"Dear Consul, thank you for understanding our people in England, Scotland and Ireland, and are willing to let our Queen return to England. God will bless you because of your tolerance." The MP led by the English Envoys said respectfully to Chu Yun.
"I don't care whether God will bring blessings. I let her go back just because she wants to go back. If something like Charles I happens to her, my army will level England." Chu Yun said coldly.
"We will try our best to ensure the safety of Queen Sophia and will never let the royal family be hurt. To be honest, Congress has passed the establishment of a professional Royal Guard to protect the safety of royal members." The MPs were sweating profusely, obviously very afraid of Chu Yun's threat.
Chu Yun’s threat is not aimless, but something that can be done completely. There is still an Oriental Legion in Portsmouth!
Although they were threatened by Chu Yun before leaving, this threat was for the safety of the new Queen Sophia. The people in the envoy did not have a bad impression of Chu Yun. Instead, they were full of awe of the strong.
Sofia brought everyone to the main ironclad ship anchored on the sea.
The first generation of the main iron-clad ship was named "Huo Qubing" by Chu Yun, and the other sister ship that was still under construction was "Wei Qing", commemorating two generals who were both double walls of the Western Han Empire, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
Queen Sophia was surrounded by the maid who came with her a few years ago.
They were originally the princess' servants, but now they have become the queen's servants.
"Her Majesty, are you really not going to tell Mr. Chu about that? If he knew, maybe..." a maid said to Sophia.
"He will know in the future." Queen Sophia looked at the coast. At this time, due to the distance, the figures on the pier were already unable to see clearly.
