Author's note: The full text of this chapter has not been submitted for review and has been placed in the archives of Qingsong Manor for permanent storage.

I am Li Ruchu, born in 1605 in Qingsong Manor, Qingsong Town, Dongning City, North Island, Oriental Province, Australia and Song Dynasty. In the name of the previous life, it is probably near the city of Hamilton on the North Island of New Zealand.

Well, I'm a traverser.

Just like those elders in the Ao Song Senate.

It is impossible to explain everything in detail about this plane, so I can only try to select some of the more important parts of the narrative.

First of all, my own situation.

I was fortunate enough to travel to a small aristocratic family without having to experience the suffering of the working people at the bottom of the Industrial Revolution. Of course, I don't look down on the workers, but it's always good to avoid the heavy and hard work.

My father was Viscount Li Guohua, also known as "Viscount Qingsong", and he had a large country estate in Qingsong Township. He was 46 years old this year (as of 1629), in the prime of life. When he was young, he served as an army officer and became the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Lan Fang Governorate District, but was discharged from the army because his horse lost control and broke a leg in a battle with the natives. Later, he returned to his hometown and opened a gun factory, specializing in the production of rifles.

My mother died when I was very young, and I have no memory. She came from a family of tailors in the Colony of the Islands, and met my father while mending his uniform.

I lived on the manor for 6 years, and my father hired a couple of tutors to complete my initial education, basically helping me to introduce myself to this strange world.

In 1611 I went to elementary school. According to the plan of the Ministry of Education, there are 6 grades in primary school, and I skipped one grade and finished it in 1616.

Later, I went to Dongning Municipal High School. In the past few years, my reading life has been lackluster. Because I don't know the attitude of the Senate towards other time-travelers, I don't dare to do anything that doesn't fit the identity of a native.

From 1620 to 1621, my militarist father did not hesitate to send me to the North Island Military School. I chose the navy, which made my father very unhappy. But this is the Age of Discovery, and I don't want to be an army that fights guerrilla warfare with the natives of the colonies every day. I'm going to be the king of the pirates...... Ahem, when a man of the Royal Admiral.

From 1622 to 1625, I was admitted to the North Bay branch of the National Naval University to study command. The city of North Bay is located in the northernmost part of mainland Australia, where it was located in the previous life, across the sea from Papua New Guinea (of course, the world calls it the "Northern Province"). I spent more than three years of my university life there, and I learned a lot during that time, which laid the foundation for the rest of my life.

Oh, and I'm going to show off that I'm the first graduate of the 46th Naval University, popularly known as "Chief," and the photo is still in the Honorary Alumni Hall in the Central Building of the North Bay Campus.

In the fall of 25 I officially entered the Navy service. As volunteered, I chose to go to the Chinese Governor's District and join the Chinese detachment of the Pacific Fleet.

At that time, unlike now, the Chinese Governorate was not a popular choice. Because the attitude of the Senate towards China was very unclear at that time, some nationalist senators advocated strong intervention in Chinese affairs, and wanted to destroy the barbarians before the Manchus destroyed Chinese civilization. Another part of the patriarchs felt that the fall of the Ming Dynasty was mainly due to their own reasons, and it was not in the interests of the Song Dynasty to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a catalyst now.

At that time, the two sides quarreled very fiercely, and there were almost group fights several times. In the end, the Centrists decided to make peace with the mud and set up a Chinese Viceroyalty to monitor the development of the Manchus, and the colonial focus was still on annexing the archipelago colonies, the Straits Settlements, and expanding their presence in India.

Having said that, when I arrived in China, I first served as the captain of the gunboat Herring. The Herring Fish is a small ship of less than 100 tons, and it cannot enter the deep sea at all, and it may not be able to beat the larger pirate ships. However, in the early 17th century, it was still a reasonable warship.

After spending almost half a year aboard the Blue Fish, I was promoted to the destroyer Asuka as a second officer. The Asuka is much better than the Blue Bird, it is a newly designed "Deep Blue" type ocean-going ship after the Republic opened the "Far Sea Plan", with a standard displacement of 780 tons, a full load displacement of nearly 1,000 tons, the main body is wooden, covered with a layer of steel armor, and there are rifled guns of more than 130mm on both sides and the capital of the ship. During this period, Captain Poplar and I accompanied the largest warship of the Chinese detachment, the steam-hybrid battleship Zhenyuan, to Japan and forced the Tokugawa shogunate to establish Nagasaki as a free city to facilitate our dumping of goods.

But to be honest, following the Zhenyuan to Japan to show off its military might always makes me feel the strong bad taste of the Senate. (In particular, the Zhenyuan has a special black sail...... A visit from the Black Ship? ）

In January 1627, Captain Yang Shu was transferred to the Taipei Naval Academy as Superintendent, and I succeeded him as captain.

In late August of that year, Governor Qin Xiangping ordered us to transport the army to occupy the city of Arthur, which had not been occupied since the death of General Zhang Pan, and officially intervened in Liaodong.

To this day, I still remember how I felt when I set foot on the land of Liaodong, China.

That's our land. Even though I am a citizen of the Republic of Australia and a member of the Wehrmacht in this life, I still regard China as my motherland, and I believe that the elders in the Senate are the same.

At that time, I swore that no matter whether Li Zicheng became the emperor or the old Zhu family became the emperor, no matter what happened to the Ming people in Guannai, I would not let the Manchus succeed.

A few days later we fought with Dordor and killed more than 400 people under the white flag. The old Manchu cavalry was vulnerable to our platoon guns and artillery. According to the grapevine, Duoduo looked at the rows of beaten entrails squirting out of Jiannu, and shed tears that belonged to the weak.

Having said that, Yuan Dudu's Ning Jin Dajie, which eroded dozens of miles, only cut off the tail of a pig in his early 100s, right? Let him come to Liaonan for a walk, and we can give him four big victories.

Later, our Houjin faced off for a while, and Dolgon also came to help his little brother. They did not have the courage to continue attacking us, and seeing that we had no tendency to continue advancing, they built a defensive line opposite the Isthmus of Jinzhou and built a small city that we called "North Jinzhou City", which seemed to be going to be in a stalemate with us for a long time.

Later, Lushun was occupied by us, and together with the people of Dongjiang Town, we built a fortress to block the Isthmus of Jinzhou.

The navy was given its first base in Liaodong, and Liu Haochuan, commander of the detachment, immediately decided to set up a marine corps to be formed by selecting personnel from Dongjiang Town and the local army stationed in Taiwan.

I volunteered to become a Marine Corps and served as the first commander of the Arthur Marine Corps and the commander of the Arthur Fortress Guard Battalion, which was an army formation.

In September '28, the letter from home arrived, and my father became seriously ill and was bedridden. I'm now suspicious of pneumonia.

Governor Qin and my father, who had known each other for the past, immediately granted me leave, and I asked him to help me submit my application, and I followed the mail ship back to my home in the Eastern Province by way of Taiwan, Lüsong, and the colonies of the archipelago.

For almost three months, I spent the manor, learning to manage my family's factory.

At the beginning of 29, my father recovered from his illness, but his health was not as good as before.

On January 29, I received a letter from the Ministry of Defense calling me back to the army.

Then my memoirs began.
