France has completed its unification, while England is greedily learning from the advanced achievements of the East, and the Italians are still intriguing. The Spaniards and Portuguese, with their superb seafaring skills, also established a series of trading bases on the west coast of Africa and the eastern part of the Americas, connecting the last link of the world's maritime trade.

North Africa was plagued by pirates, and while Egypt was still nominally under Ottoman rule, Cairo had become the spy capital of the world on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean. The Liao people's distant barricades, the Song people's information bureau, the Xia people's partridge whistles, the Persian spies, the Genoese assassins, every day there are unknown mysterious corpses on the Nile.

The vastness of Africa, the great resources of the searing heat and the mysterious rainforests have not stopped waves of explorers from descending deep into this ancient continent in search of the treasures of the so-called lost empire. In particular, the wealth of mysterious sites found on the Mesoamerican plateau has spurred thousands of fanatics to join the wave.

Whether it was the plantations of the United States of the South China Sea or the mines of South America, thousands of strong laborers were needed, and in order to consolidate their rule, both the Song people, the colonizers from the western part of the Americas, and the Spaniards, the predators from the eastern part of the Americas, carried out an unprecedented and bloody genocide against the Native Americans, even though it had already happened once during the Song people's feudal years in the South China Sea. At that time, in less than a hundred years, the indigenous population of Sumatra had fallen to an even rarer number than the tiger named after the island, so much so that the Song had to import hundreds of thousands of blacks (Kunlunnu) from the Arabs to work on the plantations.

After repeating this process in the Americas, the Song and Spaniards imported millions of special "raw materials" from their old friends, the Arabs. In the course of more than 200 years of colonization, black Africa has lost at least two-tenths of its labor force, and of these tens of millions of innocent people, not one out of ten has made it to the Americas alive.

In North America, the scene has become even more brutal.

The Liao people who colonized North America were pleased to discover the great plains of central China suitable for grazing after exploring the lofty mountains in the west. They declared it a place of destiny dedicated to the great Liao Emperor and Empress, and then slaughtered the indigenous people, armed with muskets and riding tall horses—born herders, who did not need to import black slaves, but only a small number of immigrants to claim the entire North American continent. Even because of the abundance of local resources, they are not interested in any minerals other than gold.

Cheng Qi turned the first page, and he couldn't stop until someone turned on the lamp for him. He just noticed that it was getting dark.

"Xiao Langjun, it's past the time to eat, and the slave and maid asked the cook to bring you another hot one?"

Cheng Qi snorted and glanced up casually. But he subconsciously jumped away: "Wokou! ”

The gentle girl on the opposite side suddenly froze in place and didn't know what to do, she was already with her head down, and she looked quite petite at the moment, like a white lotus in the water. Fortunately, at this time, Wu Liwei rushed up to relieve the siege: "Xiao Langjun, Xiao Langjun, is his own person, his own person." ”

"Your own people?" Cheng Qi stared at the girl in the kimono for a long time - although the kimono was copied from the Tang Dynasty clothing and some negative optimizations were made, but those who can confuse the kimono with Hanfu are either blind or brainless - still can't remember that there is such a relative from home.

"This is Nadeshiko girl, it's mine...... Fiancee. Wu Liwei said hesitantly, and seemed to be a little embarrassed. Cheng Qi threw the bamboo strip in his hand on the table: "...... fiancée?" He thought about it for a long time, and he didn't remember such a thing.

Wu Liwei explained: "The girl came to the Great Song Dynasty to look for her father, but she ran out of money before she could find it, so she ......."

Cheng Qi nodded: "She ran out of money, and she became your fiancée...... Hey, I don't understand, what the hell is going on? ”

Wu Liwei twisted and pinched it out of place, but fortunately, although the girl was red, she could still speak: "The slave and maid have a thin life, if there is no Wu Jun to save him, he would have died in the Great Song Dynasty." Therefore, I am willing to make a promise to death unswervingly. ”

Cheng Qi frowned, he just didn't like the Japanese dying at every turn. In addition, I don't have much affection for this nation because of some historical factors. However, for the sake of the Japanese who seem to admire the men of the Great Song Dynasty in this era, he doesn't mind his partner marrying a Japanese girl.

"You're not taking advantage of others, are you?" Cheng Qi asked.

"No, of course not." Wu Liwei finally got rid of the embarrassment: "Xiao Langjun, although I am far worse than you, but I am also a native of the Great Song Dynasty, and a foreigner woman married me, that is her blessing." ”

Nadeshiko also nodded desperately, and said vigorously, as a vulgar woman in a foreign land, she was fortunate enough to marry into the Great Song Dynasty, which was really a blessing from nine lifetimes of cultivation.

In fact, in terms of appearance, the Nadeshiko is quite good, the eyebrows and eyes are very handsome, the cherry is a little bit, and the slight application of powder is full of style. If you dress up carefully, then you can be regarded as a first-class beauty - of course, Cheng Qi feels that when it comes to amorous style, it is his cousin Xia Yusi, who has married a wife, who is more flattering.

And judging from Nadeshiko's conversation, she can speak Chinese so smoothly, and it seems that she is probably from a family with some status in Japan, not like a pure clay-legged descendant. If she is a Song person, it is estimated that Wu Liwei can only look up to her existence - unless he can be admitted to the Jinshi and get fame.

After a while, Fuzi brought Cheng Qi some exquisite food, and Cheng Qi didn't care whether it was delicious or unpalatable, so he killed it after three times and five divided by two, and then threw himself into the ocean of knowledge. He didn't expect that his hungry charging behavior had left a deep imprint in the heart of Nadeshiko, a little girl from Dongying: The scholars and doctors of the Song Kingdom are really heavenly people, and it is like dying when they read books, no wonder the Great Song Dynasty can be so powerful, and the Song people are really the first people in the world!

Unconsciously, Nadeshiko looked at Cheng Qi Xiaolangjun's eyes and was actually a little intoxicated, in fact, she can't blame her for her long hair and short knowledge. It's just that the Great Song Dynasty in this era is too powerful, so that the Song people seem to have an invisible aura around them. It's like in a certain time and space, no matter what kind of product the advertisement likes to pull a white old man who can't be beaten to be the endorsement. The Song Dynasty scholars of this era were the best mate for women all over the world.

However, she also knew that her status was too low, and it was completely impossible for her to become the spouse of this little Langjun. Nadeshiko set his eyes on Wu Liwei, who also worked on the low table. "Although his identity is not as noble as Cheng Qi," she thought in her heart, "but it is far more than any man of the Japanese tribe, even if he becomes his concubine, it is also an opportunity that I have been begging for in front of the Buddha." Now that he's personally promised to make me his official wife, I'm not going to miss this opportunity—it's a lot of people dream of! ”
