1. 1840...... Shanghai.
"Here...... Where is it?"
A burst of white light flashed, and the figures of several people from Yakumo Temple instantly appeared in the quaint dark alley.
On both sides of the alley are the walls of people's courtyards, the same height, the same mottled hue - brownish gray, with a slip of green moss growing at the base of the wall, and occasionally a few weak grasses, which seem to be very shy, with their heads bowed and hunched over, not daring to look at you. Because there are a few grasses, it brings a little poetry to the ancient alley.
The four of them walked out of the alley and met a lonely old man, who was sitting on the threshold of his house, silent, staring at the sky in the corner of the alley with heavy eyes. But in the next second, this poetic picture changed in an instant.
"People are getting old...... The tea is cold. You're gone...... I'm a dear mother!ghost!!foreign devil!!"
The old man got up convulsively, hurriedly ran into his house and closed the door deadly!
At the same time, Yakumoji was frightened by the old man's outfit just now, because that outfit Yakumoji was too familiar...... In memory. In my memory, Yakumo Temple will never forget the dress like a longevity dress, the back of the head like a scoop, and the god-level hairstyle that seems to be pouring out his dissatisfaction with the hairstylist!.................. With that humiliation hidden deep in the soul!
Several people from Yakumo Temple returned to the original world of Yakumo Temple, but it seemed to be because of the awkward relationship between Yakumo Temple and her mother Yakumo Zi. Yakumo Temple did not take everyone back to Gensokyo, but came to the present world outside ......Gensokyo! Fate seems to have played a little joke on Yakumoji. Yayun Temple came to the most humiliating era in the Shenzhou Continent, the dynasty called 'Qing'.
Qing: It is the second unified dynasty established by ethnic minorities in the history of the Shenzhou continent, and it is also the last feudal dynasty, with a total of 12 emperors, and 10 emperors after entering the customs, enjoying the country for 268 years.
In 1616, Nurhachi, the head of the Jurchen tribe of Jianzhou, established Houjin. In 1636, Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to the Great Qing Dynasty. In 1644, Dashun captured Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. After the Battle of One Stone, the Qing army took advantage of the situation to enter the customs, and implemented the first worship of Manchuria, enclosure and surrender, shaving hair and changing clothes, moving to the sea, and writing prisons, etc., militarily pacifying the peasant army and the Southern Ming regimes and massacring the city, and gradually controlling the whole country. It was developed to its peak through the three dynasties of Kang, Yongqian and Qianqian (it is said that the peak was not as good as the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was inferior to the Song Dynasty. During this period, the unified multi-ethnic state was consolidated and established the territorial sovereignty of modern times, and at the same time, the monarch **** developed to the peak (only the monarch ****). In the middle and later periods, due to factors such as political rigidity, cultural excellence, isolation from the country, ideological imprisonment, and stagnation of science and technology, it gradually lagged behind the West.
1840 was followed by 109 years of humiliation.
But this is not the real reason why Yakumoji was scared, the real reason is because of the memories in Yakumoji's mind. There seems to be such a scene in my memory:
A man hugged a woman and said. "Huan, I will live up to you in this life. ”
That's right, it's the legend of Zhen Huan! The legendary nine sons take the heir! The legendary drama!
Yakumo Temple is afraid that the appearance of the few people behind him will attract the attention of those so-called princes and become the protagonists of the legendary drama!!(I don't know how Yakumoji Temple's brain hole opened.) But with the character of the prince in the TV series, it seems that it is really possible!)
But even if they don't become the protagonists of the drama, it is estimated that it will be difficult for several people in Yakumo Temple to gain a foothold in this dynasty. Based on the reaction of the old man just now, the surrounding residents are estimated to mistake a few people in Yayun Temple for 'foreign devils', and these residents seem to be very repulsive to foreign devils!
But fortunately, at least they don't think the people of Yakumo Temple think of monsters, and if they think of monsters, it will be more difficult to gain a foothold......
After the fright, Yakumoji led Seria and the others slowly towards the outside of the alley.
"What are you going to do now?, is this your home?" asked Selia.
Yakumoji shook his head and continued to walk in the direction beyond the alley. 'Don't use demonic power just yet...... I don't want Zi Ma to know that I am in this world. What's more, judging from my physique, my current weapon can't hurt me for the time being...... Probably. It seems that there are already muskets in this era...... Well, what is a musket?'
"Let's find a place to live first, gold is also a kind of money in this world. ”
Soon after walking out of the alley, a very wide river instantly came into view.
"Well, what a big river!" said Sothia.
"Why does this river look familiar to me?"
By the river, dozens of shirtless strong men surrounded the ferry at the pier, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something. And they all have a very disgusting water scoop hair, presumably they are the stevedores of the docks.
Behind this group of stevedores, there were also more than a dozen people looking forward to it, and what they were waiting for might be the items that the stevedores were about to unload. These dozen or so people seemed to be the servants or servants of some high-ranking and noble families, although they were also dressed like the old man just now, and they were also dressed as if they were wearing longevity clothes! But it was obvious that the clothes and fabrics on their bodies were only inferior coarse cloth or linen.
After a long time, a huge wooden ancient warship slowly sailed in. On the warship, a flag with a yellow background and a blue dragon playing with pearls fluttering in the wind. On both sides of the warship are huge wooden signs with the words 'silence' and 'avoidance' written on them.
After the ship docked, a guy in an official uniform slowly walked out of the dock and stepped off the ferry. But in the memory of Yakumoji Temple, why does this kind of official uniform look more and more like some kind of ghost clothes?
As soon as he stepped off the ferry, the officer dispatched his troops to take up the dozens of stevedores and the men. Shouted. "Get on your knees!!"
Everyone in the audience knelt down, even pedestrians who had inadvertently passed by here, and fishermen who were fishing on the river. In order not to cause trouble, Yakumoji had to take a few people to hide behind a big tree by the river.
Seeing that the pedestrians around him knelt down to him, the official nodded with satisfaction. "You porters, you are tired of carrying opium for foreign devils on weekdays! You want to rest! It's okay! From today onwards, you can rest completely!"
After that, the stevedores present all looked puzzled, not understanding what this official meant?
"And you who buy opium for your masters! Go back and tell your masters, from today onwards! The opium in Shanghai will disappear completely! Respect the emperor's holy words, in order to assist the governor of Huguang, Lord Lin, to sell tobacco! From today onwards, opium will be banned throughout the country! This official is the newly appointed governor of Shanghai, and from today onwards, I will personally sell tobacco here. When I smell the smell of opium, I will raid whomever house! When I see a foreign devil, I will kill a foreign devil! There is no ambiguity! I will go!"
The stevedores sat down on the ground with a frustrated face, and without the foreigners' freighters, they had no way to support their families......
(Lin Zexu sells cigarettes in Guangzhou, and I don't know if there is opium in Shanghai, the author is just a plot need.) Ye Liangchen refers to an animation, not a novel or anything else. Remember, this is a house book)
