From the official's words, Yakumoji heard where he was now, and what era he was.

This is Shanghai, the legendary magic capital of Shanghai. And if the Bayun Temple is correct, the river in front of you is the Huangpu River in the magic capital.

If correct, the current year is 1840 or 1838......

In the winter of 1838 (the eighteenth year of Daoguang), Emperor Daoguang sent Lin Zexu, the governor of Huguang, as the minister of the Qincha to Guangdong to ban opium. After Lin Zexu took office, he strictly confiscated more than 20,000 boxes of opium and destroyed them all in Humen Haikou.

The opium trade brought astonishing profits to the British bourgeoisie, the Anglo-Indian government, the East India Company, and the opium dealers.

"Crow smoke and poison are a disaster that has not been seen in the Shenzhou Continent for 3,000 years"

The Qing government, acting in its own self-interest, issued eight bans between 1821 and 1834, and a section of the ruling class, witnessing the social crisis, demanded reform of maladministration and a strict ban on opium. In December 1838, Emperor Daoguang appointed Lin Zexu as the minister of the Qin Mission and sent him to Guangdong to ban smoking.

In March 1839, after Lin Zexu arrived in Guangzhou, he ordered foreign tobacco dealers to hand over all opium, and promised not to sell it again, guaranteeing that "the ship will never dare to carry opium in the future, and if it is brought, once it is found, the goods will be lost, and the person will be punished and willing to admit his guilt", and from June 3 to June 25, most of the opium stocks that legally belonged to the British were destroyed.

On January 5, 1840, according to the will of Emperor Daoguang, Lin Zexu announced the official closure of Hong Kong and the permanent severance of trade with Britain

In June, a mobile fleet of more than 40 British ships and 4,000 soldiers led by Yilu set off from India to the waters of the Qing Dynasty, marking the official beginning of the First Opium War.

…………

In the official's words, Yakumoji did not hear the exact year that appeared, but at least ...... Yakumoji heard something he hated very much......

"War is coming!" said silently behind the tree.

"Who is it! Don't hurry up and kneel down to see the official!" Obviously, Yakumoji Temple has already been discovered.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Yakumo Temple slowly walked out.

"Let's go! This country is about to be ruined. Yakumoji said.

Then, Selia and the others also walked out slowly. But regarding the construction of Yakumoji Temple, Sosia put forward another opinion.

"Can't we just get a foothold here? Judging from the way people look at us around us, we will face this situation wherever we go. ”

Indeed, just as Sosia said, the people around were staring intently at the four of Yakumoji Temple. The eyes of the surrounding pedestrians were horrified when they looked at Yakumoji Temple, and they were afraid of Yakumoji Temple...... Afraid of the muskets in the hands of foreigners.

The little guys and stevedores looked at the people of Yakumo Temple with delight. One rejoiced that he could finally buy 'Ya Pian' (the nickname for opium among the aristocracy. You don't have to be beaten and scolded by your own master when you go back. One is happy that he will not be unemployed and can support his family again. ――These two different eyes look really scary......

But one of the most disgusting eyes of the people of Yakumo Temple was the official's eyes—lust. This made several people have no favorability towards this official, and what he just said is so enthusiastic that turning his head is lustful and evil!

Looking at the eyes of everyone around him, Yakumo Temple finally agreed to Sosia's opinion. But not because of the way everyone around him looked at him, but for the safety of Selia, Sully, and Sothia...... In addition, it is for myself.

Yakumoji had a feeling in his heart. In this place, it seems that you can find a way to become a real youkai...... Or rather, the way to become a true longevity.

Because as a long-lived species, in addition to one's own strength, the most important thing is mentality. If you don't have a good mentality, you can drive yourself crazy in the long river of hundreds or thousands of years...... Lonely.

Obviously, Yakumoji's current mentality is still too weak.

For the sake of the safety of Selia's people, this sentence is not empty talk. Although you don't have to face the eyes of those people when you go to Europe, Europe is very dangerous!

It was the main battlefield of the First and Second World Wars! Artillery fire was flying everywhere and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere! Human life was the most worthless thing there! Especially during the Second World War, the thought of running to Europe and confronting the 'great head of Hebei Province' Yakumoji was not calm! Although he could go back to Gensokyo, Yakumoji was reluctant. Yakumo Temple still has some complaints about Yakumo Zi.

It can be inferred from this that staying in this Shenzhou continent may be the safest choice. Although the Shenzhou Continent will also be involved in World War II, it is better to face at least the 11th District, a country in the middle of the armed forces, than those top powers...... The United States invented the atomic bomb during World War II! Germany sent people into space at that time! In the face of the United States and Germany, the world's top power at that time, Yakumoji did not dare to guarantee the safety of everyone.

"How dare you ignore your own officer!" the official shouted again. "Come on, take them down for me, and bring them to the Governor's Mansion in Shanghai!"

Facing the Qing soldiers who came to arrest him, Yakumo Temple hurriedly jumped in front of the official.

"What do you want to do? Believe it or not, this official has hacked you!" Having said that, the official's eyes at Yakumo Temple were still full of lewdness.

Facing the official's roar, Yakumoji silently took out five gold coins from his pocket and threw them to the official. "You didn't see anything today......"

The official took the coin and quickly took it and bit it in his mouth, as if to test whether it was real gold. After each gold coin had been tested, the official said excitedly. "Yes, yes, I didn't see anything today. ”

"......" Yakumoji Temple.

Immediately, the official ordered his soldiers to retreat and led himself to the governor's palace.

But right now, there was a sudden burst of shouts on the Huangpu River.

"Help!"

"Someone overboard!!"

"Who's going to save my son!!"

…………

After hearing the shouting, the official sneered. "It's not a big deal! leave him alone!!" and then smiled flatteringly at Yakumoji Temple. "I don't know what this young lady is called, would you like to go to the Governor's Palace and sit for a while?"

As soon as the words fell, a popping sound sounded beside the official!

Yakumoji jumped into the river to save people! Maybe it was out of good intentions, or maybe it was a repayment for the West Coast...... Or maybe it's to give your conscience a comfort.
