Chapter 57: The Times

"It's the prince in the end, I don't know the suffering of the world!" Hearing King Ming's easy question about the fact that electricity has not yet been popularized, Tie Xiong's heart once again felt that the King Ming he knew before was back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In fact, although Mo Bai is a prince, he actually grew up in the people, and it would be an exaggeration to say that he doesn't know the suffering of the world.

But for Tie Xiong, it is natural that this is the case, because since he followed King Ming, he has never seen how awake King Ming is, and it is really not strange to ask such a common-sense question......

And Mo Bai also started from here, and for the first time, he had some clear understanding of the world.

In fact, when he just woke up, he looked at the electric light and had a guess about the era he was in.

At that time, I guessed that it should be the end of the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, but then I thought of the conversation I heard, and I was a little uncertain.

Because from that conversation, a very absurd fact was revealed.

A place of cultivation in Shangqing Mountain, if Mo Bai understands it, is just a place like a Jianghu sect, but it can be balanced with the royal family of a country.

There is no doubt that Mo Bai has never heard of such a ridiculous thing throughout history, that is, when the chaos is in turmoil, how can a Jianghu sect participate in the struggle between the kingdom and the dynasty, isn't that looking for death?

So at that time, he had a flash of thought, he was not in a legendary era of cultivation, and he could have high personal strength and transcendence, even to the point where he could mess with the law.

After all, Mo Bai himself is an authentic disciple of Taoism, and he is no stranger to Taoist legends, breaking the limits of the human body and being happy, and even like a god and a fairy.

If you really live in such an era, it is not incomprehensible, after all, just looking at that lamp, you know that today's technology is definitely not developed, as long as you can achieve the existence of a real person like his master, in this environment, if you want to mess with the Fa, it is really not easy to deal with.

This is just his master, who has achieved the realm of real people in the end of the Dharma period, if he really cultivates Dachang in this life and has reached the existence of a land immortal, then I am afraid that it is really a world of freedom, even if he is among thousands of troops, he can also go back and forth.

Not to mention the organization formed by a master like them, it may not be impossible to compete with the national dynasty, but the speculation at that time was only denied in a flash of thought, because it was obvious that Zhang Danshi was a person who practiced medicine.

However, as far as his medical methods are concerned, Mo Bai is not frightened at all, but this Dan Master Zhang is obviously of an extraordinary status, and even Zhang Bangli, an existence close to His Majesty, has respect for him, which is enough to tell Mo Bai that even if there is a cultivation culture in this life, it is impossible to really transcend Mo Bai's understanding and reach the era of human cultivation against the sky.

At this time, as Tie Xiong slowly narrated, his doubts were finally solved little by little, and he finally understood that what he guessed at the time was not a big mistake, if you really want to talk about it, if you divide it in terms of living standards and social materials, it should indeed belong to the style of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Science and technology have begun to sprout, which is the turning point from feudalism to civilization.

Electricity was already there, and so was the telegraph and telephone.

However, just like the late Qing Dynasty in the previous life, due to the long continuation of the Great Xia Dynasty, when other powers had begun to make great strides, Great Xia was still cultivating the big tree of feudal authority, and it was not in line with the already turbulent world in the outside world.

There is no doubt that backwardness will be beaten, and when the war comes, the country is powerless to resist, and finally under humiliation, it has to open its eyes to the outside world.

Electricity, telegraph, telephone, car... These utensils, which were once regarded as impolite by those in power for various reasons, finally had to step onto the historical stage of Great Xia.

However, even after suffering humiliation, the dynasty was reluctant to accept too fast opening up because it wanted to maintain feudal rule, so not to mention popularization, even Pingjing, the center of the dynasty, developed very slowly.

On that day, Zhang Bangli did not let Mo Bai take the car, which shows that the feudal etiquette law is still deep-rooted.

"Trains? Yes, there was one ten years ago, just over there in Mingzhu Province, I heard that it was a foreigner who secretly repaired the railroad tracks, and I heard that it was supposed to be repaired to Pingjing City, but it seems that because the imperial court did not agree, saying that the railway would break the royal feng shui of Pingjing City, and from then on the capital will be unstoppable, and the people also say that it is because of the excessive smoke and dust, and the nobles in the palace do not ......like it."

When Mo Bai asked which areas the railroad tracks are now connected to the country, Tie Xiong said.

Mo Bai couldn't make a sound when he heard this, this history is really too familiar......

He was silent for a long time before he let out a deep breath and asked a question that had been in his mind for a long time: "Why don't I see firearms when I watch the bows and arrows that the soldiers still use?"

"Yes!" When Tie Xiong heard this, he nodded directly without hesitation: "Since ten years ago, the dynasty has been repeatedly unfavorable in war......

Soon, Mo Bai knew from Tie Xiong that there were indeed some differences in this world.

Guns and cannons have indeed existed for a long time, and even cannons have been used in wars three hundred years ago, while muskets have only begun to be redressed on a large scale in the past ten years.

The root cause is that thirteen years ago, the enemy came to the sea in a battle, lost the artillery battle, and the dynasty was defeated, but he didn't want the enemy to land after the enemy, everyone was armed with foreign guns, and each could attack from a distance.

Needless to say, it was difficult for the soldiers with swords to win, and they were defeated by the other party with fewer grams and more kills.

From that day on, the dynasty realized for the first time that the unfavorable weapons were the root cause of failure, and the dynasty naturally had bows and arrows, but how long did a good archer have to be trained?

How could it be that all the soldiers and horses could hold bows, and a small number of archers, under the overwhelming ammunition, could not gain an advantage at all, so in the face of this situation, the dynasty began to change equipment on a large scale.

In fact, the musket battalion was established very early in the dynasty, but it has not been used in the mainstream, mainly because this musket is not very useful, not only is it slow to load the elixir, but it is also dangerous to explode itself, not to mention the rain, it can only be used as a burning stick, the range is still short, and it has not been taken seriously in the dynasty for many years.

However, due to the weakening of the country and several wars, it was overstretched to buy some backward guns, and although the musket battalion of the country has been fully expanded, it is still limited to the whole army.

Hearing this, Mo Bai still couldn't help frowning deeply, he knew very well that backwardness would inevitably be beaten, and now it was chaos, and it was impossible to say that the most catastrophic period in the history of the previous life was coming.

Although Mo Bai is indifferent, he is a healer, he never dares to ignore life, and his compassion is never less.

Not to mention that every Chinese descendant is destined to be unable to ignore the unimaginable disaster era, the tragic situation of the country's dignity being trampled under his feet, Mo Bai is also a man, and he was a famous general in his previous life!

"Isn't it a joke that the royal guards who guarded me that day were not even equipped, so how can I talk about changing my clothes?" Mo Bai's voice was low.

"Huh?" Tie Xiong was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness misunderstood, the guards who guarded you that day were all royal guards, the most elite people, how could they hold that musket?" They naturally shoot arrows with bows, after all, the power of the musket is not great, and it can't be compared with the bow and arrow at all, whether it is the rate of fire or the range, it can't be compared, if it is a successful person in martial arts, not to mention the realm of the sixth master, your grandmaster, if I don't have a foundation, but with that burning stick, don't want to touch the corner of my clothes......"

Obviously, Tie Xiong didn't look down on foreign guns, which made Mo Bai a little stunned.

However, it was also from here that the topic finally came to today's Taoists.
