Chapter 230: The Manchurian Man

Lord Man, or you can call him Zhang Tong. But it doesn't matter what you call him www.biquge.info because over the past hundred years, he has used various aliases and walked in this world with various identities.

As for his original name, I'm sorry, he's forgotten it. Now more people call him by his code name, Man-sama.

And one of his own commonly used pseudonyms is Zhang Tong. So we might as well directly refer to Zhang Tong as a representative of this legend.

He was born at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and is said to be a descendant of the nobility, as for whether it is a Manchu nobleman or a Mongolian nobleman or a nobleman of the Han Eight Banners, there is no way to verify, because the age is too old, and those who know it are all dead. Zhang Tong is the only one alive, he likes to say whatever he wants, and no one can refute him.

But the only thing that is certain is that Zhang Tong must have been born as a nobleman, and he had the characteristics of the nobility of that era. Arrogant, self-centered, and looks down on the common people.

But he also has things that the nobles of that era did not have, such as he is serious and studious, and he has considerable attainments in both literature and martial arts.

This was out of place in the era when it was popular for the nobles in the capital to wear tattered clothes and lead a group of gentlemen who pretended to be beggars to eat rotten meat noodles outside the front gate.

At that time, Zhang Tong showed extraordinary ability, although not as powerful as now. But the nobles of the Qing Dynasty always attached great importance to martial arts, and in that festering era, Zhang Tong was one of the few nobles who showed martial ability.

So he got a chance. At that time, the Taiping Rebellion was vigorous, and the control of the Manchu Dynasty was in jeopardy. Zhang Tong led 5,000 soldiers and horses to aid Jiangsu in Tianjin.

In a series of fierce battles in Jiangsu, Zhang Tong defeated several Taiping Heavenly Kingdom armies, which made him appreciated by the Manchu ruling class.

Later, after the Taiping Rebellion, under the leadership of Zhang Zhidong, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and others, the Manchu Qing Dynasty began the Westernization Movement. Among them, the formation and training of the new army became the most important thing for the ruling class.

Because in the battle against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan showed its combat effectiveness over the army of the Central Dynasty. This makes the ruling class feel threatened.

After that, Zeng Guofan was even more coercive and became the first governor of the world. After that, the local officials in the southeast headed by Zhang Zhidong made the [Southeast Mutual Insurance Treaty], although it was nominally returned to the central government, but in fact it had torn open the split.

The Manchu ruling class was both angry and powerless about this, because the Qing government at that time was facing all kinds of internal and external troubles, and was simply unable to manage the southeast.

In this case, Zhang Tong, who had an outstanding performance in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Campaign, was once again mentioned. At a time when the roots of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were completely rotten, it was too difficult to find a noble warrior.

Zhang Tong was an exception, so the Qing Dynasty did its best to cultivate this noble warrior who could be used among the nobles of the Qing Dynasty.

A large amount of real money and various weapons gathered into Zhang Tong's hands, and he began to organize a new army. But the Qing Dynasty did not know that what they did was to buy a curse for themselves and even for future China.

Zhang Tong has never been a simple person, and underneath his seemingly modest appearance, he has greater ambitions. The position and power of the minister even became an auxiliary minister or something, this is already the highest achievement that a courtier can achieve.

As a nobleman born in feudal education, Zhang Tong's so-called further step is the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

As a traditional feudal education, Zhang Tong's thoughts and thoughts cannot be measured by the standards of modern society.

He did not train a new army to protect the Manchu dynasty, but instead stood by and watched as the dynasty was about to fall. He regarded the New Army as his private property and became his capital to dominate the world.

It was a troubled era in that era, human life was like a mustard, and a gun was a king. Even before the start of World War I, China had already entered an era of warlord warfare (this is the history of the Marvel world).

In the winter of 1909, Zhang Tong's army had conquered the vast majority of China's territory, and because of his status, the traditional aristocratic forces naturally supported him.

The day is just around the corner when we will take the throne of God under heaven. At that time, the idea of the supremacy of imperial power was still very marketable. Not only China, but also many European countries have a monarchy.

That was the best time for Zhang Tong to ascend the throne and become emperor, or the last good opportunity. But he missed it, and on the eve of the unification of the whole country and the opening of a new dynasty, Zhang Tong mysteriously disappeared.

His men don't know where he's gone. The sudden disappearance and absence of the top leader of a regime can be fatal to an organization.

It is not a lie that people say that a country cannot be left without a king for a day.

After the loss of the Manchu people, his subordinates began to attack each other for rights and interests, and in the end, the good situation was ruined, and the hope that it was possible to unify China was completely defeated.

As for where did Master Manchu go at that time? There were many speculations and nonsense among his subordinates at that time, but one person was right.

"Have you found a way to cultivate immortals and are ready to become immortals?!" The saying of gods and ghosts and fairy monsters was still very marketable at that time.

This man's conjecture is a little bit side-by-side, but not entirely correct. The Manchurian Zhang Tong did not find any method of cultivating immortals, but found a method of cultivating Xuangong. Zhang Tong himself is a martial arts idiot.

Before he had achieved great success, he was already able to use his body to defend against the foreign guns of that era. However, many foreign guns in that era still used lead bullets, and the penetration power was not strong.

Zhang Tong captured the capital and found a treasure map and a book of Xuangong cultivation methods from the treasure house of the Qing Dynasty, which was a legend about the dragon vein. Those who get the dragon vein win the world, it sounds like a story in a small talk book.

But Zhang Tong was a little convinced, because along with the treasure map there was also a ring, a ring full of magic. This was found by an emperor of the Qing Dynasty while searching for a dragon vein.

For Zhang Tong, what is said in the treasure map is like a cat's claw scratching his heart, so he can't forget it all the time.

In the end, he finally decided to find the whereabouts of this legendary dragon vein, as well as the other nine rings. He believed that even if he didn't have a dragon vein, just finding a few other rings, he would be able to rule the country more powerfully.

So he went to the Western Regions of China according to the map, and found the legendary dragon vein on the border of the Western Regions, which is today's Western Regions, between a lofty mountain on the border between Kazakhstan and Afghanistan, and the remaining nine magic rings.

Zhang Tong found that this place was a good place to cultivate, and it was a blessed place for cultivating Xuangong. So he decided to give it a try to practice here for one night to see how it worked.

But after a hundred years of dreaming, by the time he woke up from his cultivation, the time had already reached 1969. Sixty years have passed since he went into retreat, and in these 60 years, the whole world has changed dramatically.

The organization he had created was in ruins, and the world was completely different from what he had known.

This is not an online immortal cultivation novel, the immortals have been in retreat for hundreds of years, and the world has not changed as much as it did hundreds of years ago. In just sixty years, Zhang Tong felt that he couldn't understand the world.

Twice a world war that swept the world, an aircraft that could fight in the sky, the United States dropped a terrible atomic bomb in the East. The Soviet Union detonated a terrifying hydrogen bomb, and humans flew off the Earth and even left footprints on the moon.

Well, my own mystic skills are great. But is it really invincible in the world? Zhang Tong did not have the confidence to resist head-on at the center of the hydrogen bomb's explosion, and he felt that he would definitely die if he did so.

Xuan Gong was completed, and he could also fly, if in 1909. That's a great thing, but humans are already in space. If he threw himself into outer space and didn't wear a spacesuit, Zhang Tong felt that he would die.

Zhang Tong is very strong, no matter what civilization or what standard he is in, he is a very strong warrior. Especially with the blessings of the Ten Rings. Even Asgard, who is known for his specialty martial gods, Zhang Tong is also quite strong.

But this did not help much in his plan to conquer the world. The world has changed, and it is no longer what Zhang Tong is familiar with.

In the past 60 years, the vicissitudes of life have been people. Some people, his thoughts, his concepts have been eliminated by the times!

……………………

Time: Now.

Zhang Tong woke up from his memories, he was not a person who liked to miss the old. But the world always gave him a sense of unreality. The Ten Rings are a rabble, he knows it well.

But in this era, how can he subvert the Chinese regime except for a terrorist organization?

Zhang Tong, who carried ten magic rings, walked in a special secret passage in the mountains of Central Asia. This place was called a dragon vein by the Manchu Dynasty, and Zhang Tong originally thought that this was a dragon vein. Especially after seeing the Dragon.

But as the years passed, he began to understand that maybe there was something that wasn't what he thought it was. For example, "Dragon" is not necessarily "Dragon".

In the deepest part of the secret passage, there is a huge open natural cave, the size of more than a hundred Bird's Nest Gymnasiums in the capital. This is a natural formation of nature, this is the magic of nature.

And in this place, known as the Dragon Vein by the Manchu Dynasty, a huge lizard-like creature crawls on the ground. It was more than hundreds of battles long, and every breath smelled of sulfur and fire.

The scales on the body take on a dark green color, as the color is very dark, even a little blue. The huge wings are folded, but once they are opened, they are a sight to obscure the sky.

Yes, this is a creature that was kept secret by the Qing Dynasty and called [Dragon] by them.

PS: Regarding the character design of the Manchurians, I used part of Marvel's settings. But at the same time, it also adds a lot of my personal settings. Because Marvel's editors obviously have a lot of misunderstandings of Chinese culture.

There is a huge difference between what they think of Chinese culture and what we think of. So the introduction and characters of the Manchurian adults should go according to what I set, so it is more not inconsistent.
