He Donglang looked at these soldiers in plate armor with an unfriendly expression, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
As He Donglang said, he touched his waist with his right hand, and touched the big black star on his waist.
As the saying goes, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of preventing others. Although Thomas and Zhao Wen are now in a partnership, this is not the East after all, so He Donglang has to be extremely careful.
These soldiers didn't understand what He Donglang was saying at all, but when they saw He Donglang's right hand touching his waist, they thought that He Donglang was going to do something.
Afterwards, they also raised their matchlock guns and pointed them at He Donglang.
The situation suddenly became tense.
When He Donglang saw these soldiers pointing their Vulcan spears at him, he immediately exploded, and directly touched the big black star on his waist.
When Thomas saw this scene, cold sweat dripped down his face.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and stop!" Thomas yelled, with a nervous expression on his face.
Thomas was afraid that these soldiers didn't know how deep they were, so he attacked He Donglang.
Thomas was also afraid that He Donglang would attack these soldiers because of his nervousness. No matter who took the lead, the result would be bad.
"Hurry up and put down the weapons in your hands, these people are the guests of His Highness the King." Thomas looked at the soldiers who raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
Thomas was a close friend of Charles I, and these soldiers certainly knew Thomas.
They looked at Thomas with a gloomy expression, and slowly put down the weapons in their hands.
Thomas looked at He Donglang, and said kindly: "These people are ignorant, please don't blame them, Mr. He."
When the translator translated Thomas' voice, He Donglang said angrily: "Ignorant? Ignorant just pointed a gun at us? Is this how you people treat guests?
If you don't want our help, just say so. "
He Donglang asked with a gloomy face.
Thomas' complexion changed, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. He, please don't do this. It's just a small misunderstanding. It's really just a small misunderstanding."
Seeing what Thomas said, He Donglang no longer held him accountable.
The main purpose of He Donglang's coming here is not to find people like Thomas, so that's about it.
"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future. Remember what I said, otherwise our cooperation will come to an end." He Donglang threatened Thomas with a gloomy face.
Thomas sneered: "That's for sure, that's for sure.
Mr. He, can you take off those weapons on your body?
When meeting the king, you cannot carry weapons. "
Without hesitation, He Donglang handed over the big black star to Thomas, and asked his subordinates to take down the weapons as well.
"It's over if you're so amiable. Don't point a gun at us just now. We're not unreasonable people."
Seeing He Donglang handing over the weapons on his body, Thomas let out a sigh of relief. When He Donglang Wang Dongliang and the guards handed over the weapons on their bodies, Thomas finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, follow me in. His Royal Highness should be inside." Thomas pointed to the inside of the castle and walked towards it.
He Donglang followed Thomas and walked towards Windsor Castle.
When Thomas left, he stopped a soldier and asked the soldier to report the news that he had brought someone over to Charles I.
Without hesitation, the soldier ran directly into Windsor Castle.
There is a hall in Windsor Castle that is specially used to receive courtiers. Although this hall is not comparable to the three halls of Zhao Wen's Palace, it is not small in size.
Although it was not a formal interview this time, it was the first time for people like He Donglang to come to see Charles I. In addition, He Donglang had a special status, so Charles I chose the place in here.
In the great hall of Windsor Castle, Charles I was sitting on the throne, waiting quietly.
Not long after, Thomas walked into the hall with He Donglang and others.
According to British etiquette, Thomas saluted King Charles I respectfully, and said loudly, "See Your Royal Highness."
He Donglang did not imitate Thomas and salute Charles I, but bowed his hands at Charles I and said expressionlessly: "I have seen His Royal Highness."
From the beginning to the end, He Donglang was extremely arrogant, as if he didn't take Charles I seriously.
Of course Charles I could feel that feeling from He Donglang's body, but Charles I didn't feel any discomfort.
Charles I couldn't understand what He Donglang said. After the translator translated what He Donglang said, Charles I said with a smile on his face: "No need to be like this, no need to be like this. Dare to ask sir, but From the East?"
Charles I looked at He Donglang and asked with a smile on his face.
After the translator translated Charles I's voice, He Donglang nodded and replied, "That's right, I came from the east."
When Charles I heard this, he became interested instantly.
"Since the gentleman is from the east, I have a question to ask the gentleman. This question is the things on the Tiangong objects, are they true?"
He Donglang nodded heavily, and said: "The content on Tiangong Kaiwu is true. In our place, those things on Tiangong Kaiwu can be seen everywhere. Our place is not only rich, but also the people are polite. "
As soon as He Donglang mentioned Xuanzhen, he started to praise Xuanzhen endlessly, and the praise lasted for almost half an hour.
Listening to He Donglang's voice, Charles I's expression was sometimes relaxed, sometimes happy, and sometimes dull.
Thomas stood next to He Donglang, his eyes were always on Charles I.
Listening to the translated voice, Charles I kept feeling in his heart, "The Eastern Empire is still powerful. At the beginning, I didn't believe that the content on the Sky Kaiwu was true. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." The content on Tiangong Kaiwu is actually true.
The ship docked at the port has already grown up to that size, and the content on Tiangong Kaiwu must be true. "
While feeling emotional, Charles I felt a very helpless feeling in his heart.
"It's a pity, it's a pity that such an advanced thing is not ours!"

"It's a pity, it's a pity that such an advanced thing is not ours." Hearing the translated voice, Charles I's face was full of helplessness.
"Ugh!"
Charles I heaved a long sigh, surrounded by a deep sense of powerlessness. Charles I couldn't have imagined that the far east had come to this state first.
"I'm afraid we may not be able to catch up to the East now, even if we spend a hundred years. It's terrifying, it's really terrifying." Charles I kept thinking. Although he was full of helplessness, he didn't take this Helpless to show it.
Charles I looked at He Donglang standing in front of him with a smile on his face, "Mr. He, I don't know what is the purpose of your coming here? Also, is the ship docked at the port yours?"
Charles I had just asked this sentence, and before the translation was over, Thomas said, "His Royal Highness, let me explain this matter."
When Charles I heard Thomas say this, he set his sights on Thomas, "What's going on, please explain."
Thomas nodded, cleared his throat, and began to speak, "His Royal Highness is like this. At that time, because we didn't have that much money in our hands, so..."
As Thomas spoke, he explained why He Donglang came here.
It's just that the purpose that Thomas said was just what Zhao Wen told him, not the real purpose of people like He Donglang coming here.
After Thomas finished speaking, Charles I suddenly realized and asked: "I didn't expect that things turned out like this.
In other words, these people are only here to accept loans.
I didn't expect the price of this gun to be so expensive, but if this gun is really easy to use, it is so expensive that it is worth it. "
"But why are there so many people here? I am very puzzled about this." Charles I began to wonder as he asked.
If these people are just to receive loans, there is no need for so many people to come, and there are so many warships. Although the number is not large, they cannot stand up to the size.
When Charles I asked this question, he looked at He Donglang, and at the same time said to the Hongyi captive who could speak English: "These words are not allowed to be translated, you cannot afford the consequences."
When Charles I said this, his expression remained the same as before. He Donglang couldn't understand English, so naturally he didn't know what Charles I was talking about.
"His Royal Highness, I don't know about this, but in my opinion, the benefits of these people coming to us must be greater than the benefits of the Parliament." Thomas said.
Of course, Thomas didn't know the real purpose of He Donglang and the others coming here, but judging from the present, He Donglang and the others came here, and there was no other threat to them.
"By the way, can you open my eyes to the weapons you brought back? Let me see what kind of weapons they are that can overturn the gap between us and the parliament."
Charles I looked at Thomas and said in disbelief.
In fact, Charles I did not believe that a weapon could overturn the gap between himself and the parliament.
Although it is said that Charles I is the king, many things do not mean that Charles I does not know. On the contrary, Charles I knows many things.
In the current shit sticks, the weapons used by soldiers are basically matchlock guns, and some use weapons such as broadswords, spears or long bows.
It’s just that the number of people who use these cold weapons is relatively small. Charles I once played with arquebuses. In Charles I’s view, arquebuses are all like that. Although there are already some flintlock guns with longer ranges, those weapons The reload speed is too slow, even if it hits far, it is useless.
Charles I really couldn't understand what kind of weapon could overturn the gap between himself and the parliament.
There were already flintlock guns in this era, but because the rifling was very difficult, coupled with the quality of the steel, and the difficulty of loading and other problems, the number of soldiers using flintlock guns was very small.
In the current Western world, the mainstream weapon used is still the matchlock gun. If there is no accident, the matchlock gun will be used for nearly 100 years.
"Your Highness, this weapon is in my house now, if His Highness wants to see it now, I can bring this weapon to His Highness right now.
This weapon is called the Vulcan Gun, it can shoot hundreds of feet, it is very accurate, and the reload speed is also very fast, it can fire ten to twelve rounds in a minute, and the speed is very fast..."
Thomas briefly introduced the Dreiser rifle to Charles I.
The rifle that Zhao Wen sold to Thomas was called the Drasay Rifle, but now it was produced by Zhao Wen in advance, so it was renamed by Zhao Wen to the Vulcan Rifle.
Listening to Thomas' voice, Charles I's performance gradually froze.
Charles I looked at Thomas blankly, and asked with disbelief: "Is what you said true? Are you lying to me? I have never heard that this kind of rifle can really hit so far. Is it possible to shoot such a long-distance rifle, and is the reload speed of this rifle really so fast? Can it really shoot so much in one minute?"
Charles I didn't believe it, he didn't believe that there would be such a powerful weapon, such a powerful rifle in this world.
In the eyes of Charles I, the data Thomas said were as unbelievable as a bible.
Charles I didn't even believe in such data, he didn't even dare to think about it.
In this era, if someone tells Charles I that there are such data weapons in the world, Charles I's first reaction is not to believe, but to give this person a big mouth.
But now the person who said such words to Charles I was the most trusted subordinate of Charles I, plus He Donglang standing in front of him and the book "Heavenly Works", Charles I had to accept this data.
However, this kind of data made Charles I always feel unreal.
"His Royal Highness, I can assure you that this Vulcan rifle is indeed powerful, has such a long range, and has such a fast reload speed." Thomas patted his chest and said to Charles I confidently. .
"If this weapon is really as powerful as you said, then it can indeed overturn the gap between me and the parliament." Charles I said.
"This weapon is in your house now, so you should send this weapon to me now." Charles I suddenly remembered something, and said to Thomas anxiously.
Charles I was most afraid of this news being leaked, and most afraid of someone stealing those weapons from Thomas's house. If someone really stole those weapons from Thomas's house, it would be a huge blow to Charles I, so It is said that in the eyes of Charles I, this kind of weapon is the safest only if it is placed in his own Windsor Castle.
Thomas saluted Charles I, and said: "Your Highness, I will go back and send you this weapon now. You can ask Mr. He something now, and I will take Mr. He back later. .”
After Thomas said that, he exited the hall and walked outside. Charles I watched Thomas leave and began to look forward to it.
"If the weapon is really as powerful as Thomas said, it will really be a matter of time before the council is defeated."
For a while, Charles I began to feel uneasy. He was afraid that the power of this weapon was not as good as Thomas said. After all, what Thomas said was beyond common sense.
The hall fell into silence, and He Donglang stood there quietly.
After a while, Charles I looked at He Donglang and said, "Can you tell me about your situation?"
He Donglang nodded and said, "Of course!"
"Cough cough!"
He Donglang cleared his throat and started talking.
"Speaking of our place, I think our emperor deserves the most credit. Our emperor's surname is Zhao Yuwen. In my opinion, our emperor is the greatest emperor. He is the greatest emperor in our history. He The ability is very outstanding...”
He Donglang talked about the things in Xuanzhen. When He Donglang said these things again, he was mainly talking about Zhao Wen's greatness, mainly praising Zhao Wen's ability and how capable he is.
"His Royal Highness, our emperor is a man of his word. As long as he says something, no one dares to object, no one dares to refute."
He Donglang kept patting Zhao Wen's flattery, although Zhao Wen could not hear He Donglang's flattering, but this did not prevent Hedong Lang from flattering Zhao Wen.
Listening to the translated voice, Charles I kept sighing and sighing.
"It doesn't matter that the Eastern Empire is powerful, but their emperor is still the supreme existence. Unlike me, the words I say are only heard by a small number of people. As for the parliament, my words are like deaf ears.
I really can't figure out why this parliament was established in the first place. What's so bad about dictatorship?At least no one dares to refute my will. "
For a while, Charles I was full of admiration for Zhao Wen. He adored Zhao Wen very much. He was able to bring a disintegrated empire back to normal in such a short period of time, and he also adored Zhao Wen's supremacy.
As the saying goes, if there is such a powerful empire around the shit-stirring country, Charles I will definitely not be able to sleep at night and eat, but if this country appears in the east, Charles I will not be so afraid .
In Charles I's view, no matter how powerful this country is, he cannot travel thousands of miles to attack him. Judging from the weapons he sold to him, it is impossible for this country to attack him in a short time Make yourself an enemy.
