Chapter 64: Foothold, Trouble
Capital.
Jiang Zhao, who had changed into a long shirt, walked out of the alley with Bella, who was wearing jeans, a white t-shirt and a distressed short jacket. After seeing this quaint street of the Ming Dynasty in China, Bella's chocolate-colored eyes widened and full of surprise.
"Jiang, is this what you mean by the ancient world?" Bella kept looking at everything on the street.
"Yes, this time corresponds to the colonial era of your European ancestors." Jiang Zhao explained.
"Colonial era? Colonization is not a good thing, genocide, robbery, trafficking **......" As a modern person, Bella is of course very disgusted with this bloody page in history textbooks.
Jiang Zhao did not speak.
In fact, everyone understands that if the Europeans had not been colonized by bloodshed for hundreds of years, where would there have been civilizations? Developed? Rich and strong?
As cruel as it may be, the truth is that the Europeans only developed science before other peoples.
Musket cannon is science.
Nautical with fortresses is science.
** With penicillin is science.
Even the democratic system and judicial system that Europe and the United States are proud of in later generations are only part of the social sciences.
If a different people had these advantages, would they be kind?
Will they treat the Africans in the period when Ru Mao drank blood, the Qing people who lived in a slave society and called themselves "slaves", and the Indians as equal people?
Will they therefore refrain from occupying their land, plundering their resources, and enslaving their people?
No.
Apparently not.
There are good people in the world but no good countries.
Once an overwhelming advantage is gained, the forces that cannot be resisted will become the greatest tyranny. The development of civilization is inherently one of competition, plunder, and annexation.
If you love it, you will be defeated.
Dynasties where Buddhism flourished would be destroyed by foreigners.
The Confucian morality of benevolence, righteousness and morality says too much, and once you believe it, you will be ...... after the ten days of Yangzhou and Yashan
Civilization should be iron and blood, steel and fire, and it should be bloody, cold, cruel and tyrannical, but it should be a monster dressed in the most righteous and glorious clothes!
Whether it calls the world in the name of God or proclaims to the world by the command of the emperor.
No matter how it appears, in what image.
The essence of civilization remains the same.
That's survival of the fittest.
If he didn't have the ability, Jiang Zhao also liked the environment in the world he used to live in - comfortable and secure, and most people didn't have to fight for life and death. You don't have to crawl out of the pile of dead people. No need to face bombs or knives.
After returning home from a day's work, you can eat snacks with peace of mind, and watch on the Internet what you are willing to watch, listen to, and say what you are willing to say.
But that was only in the past.
After his strength continued to increase, and finally surpassed mortals far behind the two worlds of Luding and Twilight, Jiang Zhao's mentality also changed.
After taking Bella to find an inn and settle down first, Jiang Zhao went out alone and began to implement his plan to settle in the Embroidered Spring Knife World and collect soul coins.
After a few busy days, Jiang Zhao, who opened the way with money, successfully bought a big house in a relatively clean area of Beijing, purchased maids and servants, and made a plaque of 'Jiang Mansion', which can be regarded as a stable foothold.
A few days later, Jiang Zhao's household registration and identity in Daming were quickly handled under the offensive of the silver ticket. The common feature of the end of the dynasty was that these procedures in the yamen could open the door to money, even without restraint.
However, what Jiang Zhao didn't know was that his extravagant actions over the past few days had attracted the attention of those court officials who had done things for him.
Soon, through various channels, the origins of Jiang Zhao and Bella were investigated.
Of course.
These officials, who were accustomed to certain things, were not able to find out Jiang Zhao's true origin, but only identified him as a businessman who came back from Nanyang to develop, and even married a Francophile!
Ping, who has no roots, is also very wealthy.
This has obviously touched the hearts of some people......
On this day, Jiang Zhao was having lunch in the newly purchased mansion - in the Ming Dynasty, although many important vegetables and fruits of later generations originating in the Americas had not yet been popularized, in general, the fancy and taste of the dishes were already very delicious.
The chef hired by Jiang Zhao is even more good at cooking.
Of course.
The main thing to eat is Bella.
After transforming himself into a vampire, these once-favorite dishes were far from satisfying Jiang Zhao's hunger. Although the Twilight Bloods are more adaptable, unlike some Bloodline branches that even swallow human food, in general, appetite is greatly affected.
Only the duck blood tofu and fried liver on the table Jiang Zhao ate more.
The sound of the door slamming came from the courtyard, and without any orders, the servant hurried over to inquire about opening the door.
No, as soon as the bolt was pulled down, the gate was kicked open by the people outside, and seven or eight yacha soap officials rushed into the courtyard with a domineering face.
"Where's the foreign detail?! The boss has an order, let him come with us! The leading official grabbed the servant by the collar and asked menacingly.
As soon as he saw this formation, Jiang Zhao understood three points in his heart.
Naturally, he doesn't believe any about impartial law enforcement and strict public service. If the officials of the late Ming Dynasty were incorruptible, capable, and in good health, they could still let the wild boar skin with armor of no more than 200,000 yuan take over the world?
Anyone who knows a little bit about this history will understand that the Manchurians who took the world are by no means really supergods, but that the other side is too scummy!
The Ming Dynasty sent its head in various fancy ways and self-destructed its foundation, not to mention the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was highly concentrated because of the slavery system during the rising period. Even if the heroes of Liangshan come, as long as there is no Song Jiang, a pig teammate, he will win the world, don't be too happy to seal the 108 vassal states......
Although it is not certain where these people came from.
But Jiang Zhao had roughly understood that this was a situation where those who came were not good at what they were good at and those who were not good did not come, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to wait and see what happened before reacting.
"I'm Jiang Zhao, I don't know what happened to a few officials coming to me?" As soon as Jiang Zhao opened his mouth, he didn't use the honorific title of "adult", and directly opened a "servant". The attitude is contemptuous, and he obviously doesn't take a few people in his eyes.
This attitude clearly angered a few people who were accustomed to acting as a man.
The leading officer's face suddenly darkened: "Hehe, what's the matter with you?" You'll know when you're in prison! As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the other party's Adam's apple directly.
Although he doesn't know any martial arts, he naturally has a lot of "family experience" in this business, who has been doing this dirty work since his grandfather's generation.
The skills of extorting confessions by torture, extortion, framing and framing, and watching people serve dishes are all familiar with the road, and he has also practiced hard in this ability to take people and arrest people.
This sudden shot is not only fast, but also accurate, as long as the opponent's Adam's apple is hit, a hard pick, a lift can make ordinary people miserable, and suddenly lose the ability to resist.
Even better, because of the throat injury, he only cared about coughing and wheezing, and saved the trouble of the arrested person shouting grievances. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
