In the eighth year of the Meiji era, it should be 1875.

Lin Yiqing opened a British newspaper of the day, wanting to compare the era, but when he saw the date of the newspaper on the newspaper, he was stunned for a moment.

The date of the Western Yuan published in this newspaper turned out to be 9075!

Lin Yiqing wanted to know that China is now -- that is, the era of the Qianguo mentioned by the Japanese and Lin Yizhe, so he looked through it again and found a message on the back of an English newspaper that "the British Minister to Qianguo sent a letter of condolence to the Yamen, Prime Minister of Qianguo, on the death of Lin Yizhe, Minister of the Navy of Qianguo," which contained the words "Emperor Qianguo died at the beginning of the 13th year of Tongzhi."

The main meaning expressed by the British in this news is that they regret that the pair of Qianguo monarchs and ministers who died soon after each other are too young, but Lin Yiqing determined his age through this news.

In the thirteenth year of Qianguo Tongzhi, that is, in 9075 AD, the eighth year of Meiji in Japan!

In addition to the age, what he can be sure of is that China in this time and space is indeed not the Great Qing Dynasty, but the Qianguo!

Although there is a lot of difference between the years 9075 and 1875 in numbers, they can still be matched.

Although there are such changes, Lin Yiqing is still almost certain of one thing, that is, some major historical events that occurred in modern China in the original time and space will still appear in this era, but the results may have unexpected changes!

Not only in China, but also in other countries, such changes may occur!

Could it be that Lin Yizhe in his dream really changed history?

Lin Yiqing recalled the naval battle in his dream, searched through the thick stack of newspapers, and soon found relevant reports in several English and Japanese newspapers.

According to the newspaper, this naval battle should have taken place when the Japanese Navy and Army invaded Moss Bay, and the Japanese Army was fiercely resisted by the aborigines of the Moss Bay area after landing, suffered heavy casualties, and was almost driven into the sea at one point, but fortunately the Japanese Navy supported it with naval guns in time to stabilize its position. Later, after learning the news, the Qianguo government sent a naval steam fleet (could it be that the Qianguo navy was also like the Qing Dynasty back then, and there were still old sailors equipped with wooden sailing ships?). Set off in time to intercept the Japanese army, and the navies of the two sides fought a fierce battle on the surface of the Langqiao Sea in Moss Bay, which was called the "Battle of Langqiao". A total of 17 warships from both sides took part in the naval battle, including 12 ships of the Qianguo Navy and 5 warships of the Japanese Navy; the result of the naval battle was that the fleet of five warships sent by the Japanese Navy to Moss Bay was completely annihilated, with nearly 1,000 officers and men suffering casualties, while the Qianguo Navy suffered minor losses, not a single warship was sunk, and the casualties among officers and men were very small.

The description of this naval battle in the newspaper is very detailed, because there were foreign warships watching the battle at that time, and there were also passing merchant ships who also saw the scene of the naval battle.

That's not a dream!

Everything you see in your dreams should have happened!

Lin Yiqing suppressed the excitement in her heart and continued to search carefully in the newspaper.

He now needs more evidence to prove everything that Lin Yizhe told him in the dream!

Soon, in a Japanese-language newspaper, he saw a serial article written by a Japanese about the Franco-Prussian War, called "The Franco-Prussian War".

And Lin Yizhe once told him in a dream that the ending of the Franco-Prussian War in this time and space had been changed by him.

Lin Yiqing found all the serials and looked at them carefully.

According to the account in this newspaper, in 9068 AD the Spanish mutiny overthrew Queen Isabella II, and in 9070 when the Spaniards chose the king, taking into account the Prussian Hohenzollern family's distant relative in Swabia, Prince Leopold, the French government and the opposition were naturally worried about the recurrence of the situation in which the Habsburgs had the German and Spanish thrones to surround France 350 years ago, so the French government lodged a strong protest. King William of Prussia himself was not enthusiastic about his relatives succeeding to the Spanish throne and declared that he did not support it. France insisted that King William clearly guarantee it, which seemed to be an insult to the honor of the nobility at the time, and King William naturally refused. Prime Minister Bismarck and Chief of Staff Moltke had long wanted to go to war with France, and Bismarck's slightly changed tone of a telegram of refusal "Ames Telegram" easily aroused the anger of Napoleon III and the French people, and in the absence of preparation for war, the hot-headed French people asked the emperor to punish the Prussians, and Napoleon III agreed to the people's request. The war between France and Prussia began in earnest.

Prussia's preparations for war were much more thorough and meticulous than those of the French, and the Prussian general mobilization plan, after many years of study and several implementations, can be said to have reached the point of perfection, and in just 20 days, the Prussian army of 385,000 men was fully mobilized and assembled, as accurate as a clock, no more and no less. The Prussian Field Corps is divided into three group armies, from north to south: the 1st Army of Steinmetz is 60,000 men, under the jurisdiction of the 7th and 8th armies and 1 cavalry division; Prince Frederick-Wilhelm's 2nd Army had 130,000 men, including the 3rd, 4th, and 10th armies, the Guards Division and two cavalry divisions, and the Crown Prince's 3rd Army of 130,000 people, with the Prussian 5th and 11th armies, the Bavarian 1st and 2nd armies, the Württemberg Division, and the Baden Division. The headquarters under the command of King Wilhelm and Chief of the General Staff Moltke was stationed in Mainz, and directly controlled the 60,000-strong reserve of the Prussian 9th Army and the Saxon 12th Army.

At the beginning of the war, the French army experienced endless nightmares from the beginning of the general mobilization: a typical French soldier, who may live in Lyon, has to go to Algeria in North Africa to collect equipment and clothing, and then carry these things to report to the Brittany Peninsula in southwest France, and then assemble and drive to Charon in northeastern France. As a result, the generals could not find the troops, the soldiers could not find the guns, the fortresses could not find ammunition, and the corps could not find food. The French army's war plan was exactly as Moltke had predicted: Marshal MacMahon's army group was concentrated in the Strasbourg salient, and Marshal Bazin's Rhine Army group of 135,000 men was concentrated in Metz, and soon under the personal command of Napoleon III. In addition, at Chalon, 90 miles west of Metz and into the heart of France, the French army had assembled a reserve corps.
