~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The long whistle whistle was accompanied by a humming sound of anchoring and a sound of shouting horns and throwing cables. Several Qing Dynasty business consuls stationed in Sishui on the shore looked at the strong men all over the boat with gloomy faces. This time, the sailors were not in a hurry to get off the boat like they were in Nagasaki last time. They were all waiting to see the fun with their arms around.
The blond and blue-eyed Dutch colonial officials, as well as foreign soldiers around them, were not necessarily very good. During this period, two iron-armored cruisers visited. It was all a matter of confusing the Java colonial authorities.
But now there is no way to prevent these warships from coming. The Beiyang Navy patrolled the Nanyang Ocean and the various ports were docked at Canadian media. The Netherlands did not start a war with the Qing Dynasty. If their warships were not allowed to dock, wouldn't it mean that the colonial authorities had lost control of the security of the city? Java is close to the busiest waterway in the South China Ocean and controls the Xunta Strait. Don't make any noise that merchant ships dare not stop.
So the Chinese natives who were preparing to welcome them all had aspirations, prepared all the coal and water supplies, and doubled the coolie, and quickly completed the repair and decoration, and sent them away!
The consuls of the Qing Dynasty in Sishui were even more upset than them. The consuls who were foreigners were waiting to get a foreign qualification. They were able to get a foreign official and went back to get promotions and wait for the gaps. They either sat down to make up for the money for trade. They were most afraid of trouble, but they were either deafing foreign negotiations, or they were either deafing or hiding down or pushing up. They were unwilling to bear any of the ties.
It’s okay for the military ships to be fine, but they are holding the telegram from the Beiyang Yamen in their hands, so they can restrain them. But there is also an imperial envoy who is said to be famous for 25 years and cannot be controlled by Beiyang!
At this moment, something went wrong with him or even he caused some trouble. It was not fun... But fortunately, he had some understanding with the foreigners. These foreigners gave face and came forward to treat them with perfunctory food and drinks, and finally asked him to walk.
In short, the people waiting on the dock were not in a good mood.
Before the two ships were removed from their anchors and throwing cables, the port inspection boat leaned over with black smoke. The coal-added boat was also rushing towards here. Piles of local coolies, bare-handed, revealing the thin and thin black body of monkeys, stretching their necks to watch the fun. The mixed-race foremans patrolled the sticks and foxes pretending to be powerful, and they rushed to load the goods when they were greeted.
Just as they were staring wide, they watched a signal flag suddenly rise on Zhiyuan's foremast. When a few foreigners in charge of port affairs looked at it, their faces became even more ugly.
Zhiyuan host failure!
The Qing consul, who did not understand the banner, looked at the foreigners with a sweat and looked around suspiciously. Suddenly, two cannons rose on the deck of Zhiyuan. The alert foreign soldiers were nervous and the officers led the team held the command knife. Some foreign soldiers took off their rifles. Then they saw Cao Tianen, the alternate prefect, the Consul General of Sishui, hurriedly pulled Tongyi to Lieutenant Colonel Fan Detten, the governor of East Java, and explained: "This is... this is the honorary guard of the imperial envoy. When the imperial negotiating officials arrived at the site, they must be neatly guarded to show the solemn way of diplomatic relations... They were not fired foreign guns, but the cannons! It was empty, there were only medicines and no bullets..."
He was sweating profusely and pointed at the explanation. The more he explained, the more he was, the more he was chaotic. He couldn't get out of the matter, and his face turned pale. The Lieutenant Colonel Detten's face was even more gloomy. Why did he get such a job as him?
A pure Aryan race of 1.90 meters, the blond and blue-eyed lieutenant colonel looked at the short consul in front of him with a face full of smoke. He just hummed contemptuously and touched his sweaty white gloves.
The climate of the colonies really hurts the health of Europeans...
Sure enough, after a few sounds of gun lifting, a team of soldiers surrounded a young official with a brilliant feathered top and walked down the springboard. Deng Shichang, the pilot of the Zhiyuan ship, also wore his registered admiral's red head and followed the official with his sword.
When he arrived at the place where he was on mission, all etiquette was respected by the imperial envoy. Even if Deng Shichang had already obtained the title of first-rank military officer, he could not surpass him. Everyone's eyes were focused on the young official.
He was wearing an official uniform, and it was a bit awkward when he looked at it. The top was also red. But he was not as solemn as the imperial envoys in the past, and he looked carelessly. He was smiling and talking to the two young officers around him. After the Qing Dynasty donation was launched, the red top was not without. Anyway, the highest official title was donated to the fourth-rank Taoist platform, and a second-rank can be popular. But in his twenties, he became a special commander of the Han people, and now he is an imperial envoy, which is unique!
Several consuls looked at each other and sighed in secret that the world was getting worse and the people's hearts were not as good as ever. In the blink of an eye, they all froze again, wait, it's not right!
The foreigners' faces were also ugly ones. Several consuls froze for a moment, and then they found that the team of the imperial envoy's escort, Goshha, had dozens of people! Moreover, these people were all neatly uniformed and flexible in their steps. They came from the two warships and looked like a small army!
Xu Yifan stood in the team and knew that his entourage is now larger than Nagasaki. Many sailors in Zhiyuan have also changed into the military uniforms of his Xu Daotai team and become his entourage!
He and Deng Shichang had already made a secret agreement that on the grounds that the Zhiyuan machine had a problem, he would stay in Sishui for a few more days to see the scenery and look at the backing of Xu Yifan. Many sailors in Zhiyuan were filled with his ranks of ranks to enhance their reputation. No matter what the situation in Sishui is now, at least this Propaganda and Pacification Committee must help them in the top position!
Deng Shichang and the others could do so much. As for Qiu Baoren, the manager of another ship, who was not the commander of this formation, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. Xu Yifan never expected him to have anything to do.
The team rushes away from the boat in silence, and Xu Yifan sets his mind in front of him with a smile. He doesn't look at the foreigners. He goes straight to the embarrassing consuls, and bows to the distance from the smile.
Although he was an imperial envoy, not an imperial envoy, and could not receive tribute on behalf of heaven. However, when it comes to the team, Cao Tianen, the Consul General of Sishui, sent him a group. He immediately saw Xu Yifan delivering his tribute first, Cao Tianen and his party rushed over quickly, and withdrew a thousand with his hands, stood up and bowed: "Thank you all the way!"
Xu Yifan laughed gently: "Don't work hard or not, do things for the emperor, what are the hard work to do? When you arrive at a noble place, I hope you will be welcomed by the brothers. I wonder where the brothers will place their brothers?"
Cao Tianen looked at the Dutch people with ugly faces, and then looked at his team. A group of military practitioners who had been trained for three or four years of military training were naturally lined up like a knife on the dock. These days, these military practitioners have broadened their horizons and traveled around the country. Xu Yifan will tell them about military studies courses, which is different from what the foreign instructors said. Xu Yifan, who was also a military fan at the time, said it very well. They have also won many faces for Xu Yifan. Now, wherever they go, they are regarded as Xu Erbaiwu's people!
Cao Tianen's face was sweating more and more urgent. When he woke up in the morning, he swallowed two cooked batters and became addicted. Now he was nervous and felt that he was going to be addicted to it early. He smiled hurriedly: "The adult's house is naturally settled and stopped. Even the Governor-General wants to entertain the adults in the mansion... But the mansion did not expect that the adult's escort was so... Hehe, it's so spectacular, the mansion doesn't know..."
Xu Yifan smiled: "I am an imperial envoy, right? Is my entourage considered an envoy? Can't they set foot in these realms? My brother's words are too unreasonable."
While talking, Detten walked over in small and medium strolls and came straight towards Xu Yifan. Without waiting for Xu Yifan to signal, Li Yunzong had already stepped out and stopped in front of Detten! A white military uniform and a yellow military uniform immediately looked at one point. Although Detten was tall, Li Yunzong was light and fierce, and did not let the blonde officer's aura stand up at all. A tough gesture was made, and he snorted from his nose. The meaning was very clear, so he should stay away from us!
Detten froze, and the two subordinates behind him had already pressed on the command knife. Xu Yifan greeted Cao Tianen without looking back. The poor Consul Cao looked at the little episode here and jumped over quickly: "This is Fan Junmen, the representative of the Governor of East Java Province! Lord Xu, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand!"
Xu Yifan still didn't look back and snorted: "Yun Zong, let him come!"
Li Yunzong sneered, took a step back, stood back in the team, and Chu Wanli quietly gave a thumbs up: "I'm here to Java's first prize, congratulations!"
Detten's chest was so angry that his chest was rising and falling. He walked quickly and shouted in Dutch. Xu Yifan slowly turned around and looked up at the man. Not to mention, under the shade of the human tree, it was still cool enough...
The consulate's communication was whispered by: "Fan Junmen said that such a large escort team, and they are all military personnel, are not in accordance with the rules. Adults are only allowed to bring six people into Si Shui..."
Xu Yifan smiled and seemed very easy-going: "Okay! I want to cause less trouble for Consul Cao and others. So many people in Sishui eat horses and chew them, so I must eat poorly......Mr. Deng?"
Deng Shichang looked stern, looking like he was about to smile or not. Listening to Xu Yifan's greeting, he quickly agreed: "There is the mark!"
Xu Yifan smiled at him and said, "I am an imperial commissioner, right? Zhiyuan is a military ship of the court, right?"
"So, yes!"
"That's it, let's continue to go back to the warships, eat the food of the court, and save some chewing. When will my mission be done, and when will Zhiyuan come and leave Sishui... Lord Deng, does this truth make sense?"
Deng Shichang gritted his teeth and endured it loudly: "It makes sense to reply to the words of sir!"
It’s really great to sing the double act with this 25th!
After the translation of the matter was translated, several consular officials at the lower level simply lowered their heads, nothing else, so they could only hold back their laughter!
Detten was dead there, his hands wearing white gloves trembled slightly. I had never seen Qing Dynasty officials who insisted on a decent system. This was the way he was! For a moment, he didn't know whether it was better to turn against him or to be angry? Once he turned against him, he would not have to say that the guy who smiled hatefully in front of him would stay on the ship without leaving. His identity as a diplomatic envoy had no reason to rush. But with the two iron-armed cruisers, Zhiyuan and Laiyuan, staying here, there were hundreds of fully armed Chinese sailors...
The Kingdom of the Netherlands, there are only "Goldland" and "Haai" two old iron armored patrol warships launched in the 1970s, with only 1,850 tons. Although he did not believe that Zhiyuan Laiyuan dared to open fire on the territory of Her Majesty William Minna, it was a troublesome thing after all...
Looking at the strong men who stood upright, the Lieutenant Colonel made up his mind. Let the Governor worry about these things!
Whether it is Chinese or native monkeys, they all look equally abominable!
His stern face finally loosened, and his smile squeezed out was almost the same as crying. He slowly saluted and stretched out his right hand: "His Excellency, welcome you to Sishui. The Governor has already held a banquet at the official residence. I hope you can talk to you. I also hope you can enjoy this city."
Xu Yifan smiled and held hands with him: "Oh, that's right. Where are my entourages?"
Detten smiled bitterly, and made a gesture, letting all the meanings go. Xu Yifan smiled: "Okay, brother, let's go to the Governor's banquet now!"
Chapter completed!
