Xiao Letian finally confirmed that Xiang Ying has a martyr plot, which is a very rare characteristic among humans. This type of person is extremely rare, but it has to be said that it depends on these people to reverse history.

Death is just a lucky way for the martyrs. What they care more about is the blazing light after the burning life.

Nelson was a martyr, and Xiang Ying was also a martyr. In a sense, Xiao Letian was also a martyr in the eyes of people at that time, but Xiao Letian himself did not admit it.

People who can't do anything can be done, even if they know it is a life-and-death way, just to fulfill the truth in his heart, such a person is really terrible.

Xiao Letian has no choice but to deal with Xiang Ying. For Xiao Letian, no matter how he faces businessmen, politicians, literati, soldiers, farmers, businessmen... no matter what his identity is, he can find a breakthrough in negotiations, either move them with emotion, understand them with reason, or induce them. Anyway, there are many ways to communicate.

The martyrs are the most difficult to deal with, they are a group of madmen and paranoids living in their own fanatical spiritual world.

Who can defeat the madman? Xiao Letian thought he didn't have that ability. He suddenly thought of Taizu in his previous life. When his career was in a low position, when he climbed snow-capped mountains, chewed tree bark, and ate grass roots, what supported him at that time?

Perhaps it was this martyr's plot that made him persevere until the end.

People in the world say that martyrs are fools, because people are greedy for life and fear of death, and they like comfort and wealth. They throw away all this and risk death to pursue some illusory truths? Can national fortunes be eaten? Does it have anything to do with me?

For absolute self-interested people, martyrs are undoubtedly the big fool among fools.

Because he is a fool, he doesn't know that money and wealth are good things because he has a problem. The martyrs clearly have a very smart brain and have high blessings. He is willing to enjoy his life well, but he has to look for something and end up making him die forever.

A fool is a fool!

But fate is always very good at mocking people. History is often driven by these martyrs. Which of the founding emperors, generals and ministers is not such a lunatic?

Xiao Letian shook his head. He was a little afraid to think about it. Fortunately, Xiang Ying was following the path he pointed out, and fortunately he did not deviate from the direction. Although his stormtrooper had a tendency to militarism, it was now the mid-19th century when the strong preyed on the weak. Militarism was the mainstream idea believed by the great powers.

"Xiang Ying... After the welcome ceremony, you come to see me alone. Your thoughts are very dangerous!" Xiao Letian patted Xiang Ying on the shoulder and said.

Before Xiang Ying could respond, the Victory battleship had already drawn a beautiful arc on the sea. He made a big turn on the sea, and he drove from the opponent to parallel the Zhiyuan.

All the Chinese naval officers' eyes lit up suddenly. Just from the arc of the waves on the sea, the quality of this boat sailor can be seen.

The entire process of driving the sails, deceleration and speeding is like flowing water, and you can't even hear the sound of shouting slogans that are often found in sail warships.

All units of the entire warship were arranged step by step, without the command center pulling their necks to yell. The units cooperated seamlessly. When the arc was drawn to the last moment, the head of the Victory was exactly moving forward with the Zhiyuan.

"I am the Duke of Newcastle. On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I welcome His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the Head of Chinese. I wish you peace and prosperity!"

The other party's flag bearer sent a message that Xiao Letian and Zaichun had already seen the middle-aged nobleman in Chinese uniform waving on the opposite warship. He was the Duke of Newcastle, an old British aristocrat.

At this time, Wang Huaiyuan was nervously looking through the European intelligence sent by Guan Fang, which contained the introductions of major figures in the British political arena. When he saw the introduction of the current Duke of Newcastle, his eyes lit up.

"Henry Pelham Archibald Douglas Pelham Clinton... so long, such a difficult name! The Duke enjoys the privilege of offering a right-hand glove to the king or queen at the king's coronation ceremony; and during the coronation process, hold the king's right arm, because the king holds a scepter..."

"What kind of hell is this? But it seems that he has a very close relationship with the royal family..."

Xiao Letian understood at a glance that "being able to stand close to the king at the king's coronation ceremony shows that he is a hard-core direct lineman of the royal family... should be the welcome representative of the British royal family!"

"Xiang Ying... prepares a salute immediately, not only to thank the Duke of Newcastle, but also to our tribute to the Victory! Don't you admire Nelson? Give him 21 salutes!"

"I understand!" Xiang Ying's excited face turned red. "Lin Zhen! Prepare the salute, 210 main guns in front and back are ready to shoot... 21 sounds pay tribute to the British Empire... The main gun is tilted forty-five degrees..."

Lin Zhen, dressed in a dress, had already been ready. He loudly issued an order, "The first double main gun of the ship... extracted 14 ten-kilogram pills... the single main gun of the ship stern extracted 7 ten-kilogram pills... the salute is used for firing..."

Communications chief Cai Bixia also began to order "send a signal to the British Victory, and the main gun of the Zhiyuan was about to fire 21 salutes..." On the high battle mast, the flag bearer began to wave the flags and send a message to the Victory.

Xiang Ying shouted loudly, "Salute to General Nelson! Sacrifice to Her Majesty the Queen! Sacrifice to the British Empire! Long live... Long live! Long live!"

The Duke of Newcastle, who received the flag of Zhiyuan, and all the officers and soldiers, stood at attention in surprise. The Duke took off his hat and raised his hand to salute. In a moment, all the British officers and soldiers in the joint fleet stood attentively.

This is a respect to the General, the Queen and the entire United Kingdom, and they must return it with the most respectful attitude!

Sima Yun suddenly shouted on the deck, "The whole Chinese army obeys the order! Salute!"

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese ships on the sea heard the commander's salute. The officers and soldiers standing on the deck gave a new military salute to the Victory. The scene was extremely solemn and solemn.

Boom boom boom... The 210 main gun was raised high, and the medicine bag without a warhead was lit and made a huge roar. Three gun barrels, 21 loud noises, and the Eastern envoy fleet officially entered the English Channel.

The first diplomatic visit of the East and the West at the emperor level officially kicked off.

The Duke of Newcastle was shocked, and he finally believed in the incredible intelligence sent by the East. "What a strict army, so Xiao Sha's momentum! No wonder he could defeat Tsarist Russia, Xiao Letian is a real master!"

"And they are very proficient in Western etiquette, and the ceremony is even more beautiful than that of us British! It seems that my work should not be boring!"
