Small spaces, old utensils, and stale air, everything about this twentieth-century steamship room left visitors a hundred years from now.

"These are the two rooms we have settled on for a hundred and fifty taels of silver? Or 1st class. Link muttered, dissatisfied with the musty smell of the cabin.

"You just snickered, the third-class ticket for twenty taels of silver is only in the Chase Shop, and the conditions there are ten times worse than ours." Ye Wen interrupted his complaint.

Flute! The steamer, with a displacement of only two or three thousand tons, made a loud noise, and then slowly started moving. There were many passengers standing on the side of the ship, constantly waving to their loved ones who were seeing off on the shore.

He Yuanlong and Jaime didn't go to join in the excitement and stayed directly in the cabin, but Ye Wen, Lin Keding, and Tang Nian came to the side of the boat with great interest, wanting to join in the chat between the locals. It's just that the three of them have yellow hairs on their heads, and it is difficult to participate, so they have to stand aside and listen.

"Hey, did you hear that? There are bandits in Shaozhou Mansion who have captured the city, and the governor has mobilized troops to quell the chaos. A man who looked like a merchant looked around and said mysteriously.

"No, didn't the telegram a few days ago say that the bandits had occupied Renhua. County, so quickly captured Shaozhou Mansion! Many people were taken aback, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

Hearing this news, Ye Wen was also very surprised.

He was a first-hand witness of the defensive battle of Renhua, and knew very well that Zhong Erzhu's army was composed of peasants and opportunists, and its frontal combat effectiveness was very low. But I didn't expect that in just a few days, Shaozhou Mansion would be captured.

Ye Wen thought to himself. It seems that the Qing army's combat effectiveness is indeed a true story.

"Who is that bandit leader? How capable is it? ”

There was a slight interest in the leader of the bandits. Just ask the well-informed guy who looks like a businessman. Although many people learned about the rebellion in northern Guangdong through telegrams, they did not know much about the specific situation.

"Hehe, you're asking the right question. I have a relative who lives in Nhwa. In the county next door to the county, he told me that the leader of the bandits was a guy named Zhong Erzhu, whose ancestors were farmers for three generations, and he was an authentic mud leg. ”

The man who looked like a businessman pricked up his ears when he saw that everyone around him was engrossed, and found a place of pride: Look at how fresh my news is.

Wow! The audience around you is also very cooperative, and they all look like you are amazing. He sent a lot of horses so that he could continue.

"Actually, Zhong Erzhu's best ability is not to coerce mud legs, but to have divine power on his body, and it is said that he has obtained the guidance of the gods." The businessman-looking man broke a big news, and he knew that the news would cause even greater surprise to the audience.

"It can't be! How can there be a real immortal in the world? Otherwise, how could I be beaten by foreign devils and pay compensation? "This man doesn't believe in immortals.

"Is it another Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Fifty years ago, there was a riot, and everyone died! The man remembered the super-upheaval that swept the South half a century ago.

Ye Wen didn't hear any useful news next, and these people all began to discuss whether the immortals existed or not, and the quarrel was very fierce.

The steamer stopped once in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, after replenishing some water and coal. It slowly drove towards Tokyo again.

Seeing the smaller and smaller coastline on the side of the ship, He Yuanlong, Ye Wen and several other people from modern times had mixed feelings. It's another world though. But seeing it occupied by Japan, I still feel uncomfortable.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the local natives of the world did not have much feeling for this large island, and seemed to have forgotten that it was still their own territory ten years ago, and only did not understand that Japan had invested a lot of resources to develop it.

In their mouths, they were full of praise for Japan's defeat of Russia, and their eyes showed envy.

"Japan, a small country, is so powerful that even Russia, a Western power, has been defeated!"

"Our Qing Dynasty must learn from them to change the system, and a constitutional monarchy is the foundation of a strong country."

"On the other hand, even after Japan, which was only a small country in the past, established its constitution, its national strength has continued to increase, and this is very worthy of our learning."

Such words kept popping out of the mouths of well-dressed people, and their mouths were full of constitutionalism. They have no idea that Japan's real system is actually a centralized system. Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan had hundreds of governments, large and small, and by this time it had been unified into a central state.

Half a meter away, He Yuanlong and Ye Wen watched the treasure island disappear into the sea, and when they heard the words of those natives in their ears, they only felt extremely harsh.

"Damn the Qing Dynasty! If it weren't for its incompetence, how could it have put this treasure island in the hands of the Japanese. Lin Keding scolded angrily.

"Don't get too excited, this is not our world, just take a look." Ye Wen patted his friend's shoulder and said.

Despite Ye Wen's persuasion, Lin Keding still crusaded against the decaying Qing Dynasty for a long, long time.

He Yuanlong was impatient when he heard this, and snorted: "Don't compare, you have the ability to rush up and drive the Japanese away on the island." It's just a keyboard warrior who will only spray other people's saliva. ”

"Brother Long, you should know a lot as a veteran, just like the spells you plotted against foreigners in Guangzhou are nothing to you, teach us. If this is learned, I promise to be the first to rush to Taiwan and drive the Japanese away. Lin Keding rolled his eyes and said complimentarily.

He Yuanlong immediately heard the idea that this kid was playing spells. In these days, he had studied the spell information left behind by the King of the Forest, and understood that as long as he controlled the distribution of mana, he was not too worried about others getting out of control. The leader of the bandits, Zhong Erzhu, is not still sitting firmly on the throne.

He spoke, "You three want to learn spells? ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Long, are you willing to teach us? We pledge to obey your orders. You say we will not go west! Hearing He Yuanlong's tone loosen a lot, Ye Wen hurriedly expressed his obedience. It's just that only you know how sincere this is.

He Yuanlong's gaze swept over the faces of Ye Wen and the others, taking their longing and surprised expressions into his eyes, and he pretended to think for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll pass on your spells when I get to Tokyo, but you must do what I say." Otherwise, I'll disqualify you from casting spells. ”

"Huh? Can spell qualifications still be canceled? Ye Wen's faces all showed disappointment, although they tried their best to hide it, their young faces were not as perfect as the old foxes.

Seeing this, He Yuanlong snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

A few days later, the ship slowly sailed into Tokyo Bay, and their destination had arrived. (To be continued.) )
