Chapter 172: Records of the Divine Kingdom of China (I)
Summer 1852. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Indian Peninsula has been particularly hot this year - of course, more and more people have begun to call this place the "Chinese Peninsula"! Because in fact, the country of India has completely ceased to exist......
The Chinese Divine Kingdom, which won a great victory in the "Sino-British War", not only completely defeated two huge British "Invincible Armadas" at sea; At the same time, the results on land were also extremely rich.
Those powerful Chinese gods, combined with the regular elite army units, put down the invasion of the British and Indian mixed forces in a very short time. And don't do it endlessly, take advantage of the trend and push it all the way over!
It actually devastated the entire northern part of the Indian Peninsula, that is, the remnants of the British Indian colonial sphere of influence, and directly annexed it into the Chinese Divine Kingdom. This also doubled the area of the Kingdom of God in an instant. Such an opportunity does not come every time, so in fact, this time the UK is definitely stealing chickens and rice......
What makes the British side even more painful is that at this point, they can't help but pinch their noses and take the initiative to put forward a "truce demand". The Chinese Divine Kingdom Council, out of comparative and comprehensive consideration of the current strength of the Divine Kingdom and the world situation, also agreed to a truce.
So the next step is to hold an international conference!
At present, the Chinese Divine Kingdom has the entire Indian Peninsula as its mainland, and at the same time uses the original Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines as overseas territories (not colonies). It has become a powerful country that cannot be ignored in the entire Asian region, and it is time for the time to make a declaration of international status and the establishment of a new Asian order.
Thus, at the joint initiative of the British Empire and the Kingdom of God, the Sino-British Armistice and the Conference on International Affairs in Asia were to be held in Xuanyuan City, the capital of the Kingdom of God, in the summer of 1852.
History said, Xuanyuan City Conference!
Xuanyuan City, the capital of the Chinese Divine Kingdom.
It's a city of wonders.
Formerly a large city in south-central India, it was greatly expanded and rebuilt after being occupied by the Chinese Divine Kingdom, used as the capital and renamed Xuanyuan City.
The original Hindu temple in the city center was completely bulldozed and destroyed, and an even taller and more magnificent dragon temple was built instead! Other state administrative agencies, government agencies, and affairs organizations are built in a ring around the Dragon Temple. It has become the real decision-making core location of the Huaxia Divine Kingdom!
Hindu temples naturally belong to "pseudo-gods" and engage in feudal superstition, because there is no Hindu god who has ever shown miracles or really appeared in front of the believers. But the Dragon Temple is not ......
Because the dragon god himself resides in the dragon temple!!
In addition to being a place for the high-ranking clergy of the Dragon God Sect to worship the Dragon God, the Dragon God Temple is also the place where the Dragon God lives - although most of the time he does not live in it.
In addition to these changes, Xuanyuan City has also expanded the original Indian city by five kilometers and widened the road system.
Slums were eliminated and separate indigenous Indian settlements were created in the northern urban areas. A large number of Huaxia teachers were sent to carry out thorough Sinicization education for these three brothers who were originally pro-China......
In short, Xuanyuan City is striving to become an international metropolis with all the "hardware conditions"!
Woooooooo
A loud steam jet sounded.
In the harbor outside Xuanyuan City, a huge steamship was slowly approaching.
There were all sorts of people standing on the docks, anxiously waiting and looking for someone to pick them up; There were also expectant and anxious people on the deck, waving handkerchiefs and other objects to the shore......
The docking of this ship is of great significance.
Because this is the first civilian steamship to dock after the official end of the Sino-British War and the recovery of the Kingdom of China from the state of martial law during the war!
The docking of this ship not only shows that the local territory of the Chinese Divine Kingdom has been basically determined, but at least there will be no large-scale wars for a relatively long period of time. And it also indicates that in addition to the Chinese people and the original Indian aborigines in this city, people from other nationalities and countries have begun to come here......
Butler is a down-and-out English writer. Although he showed a special talent for writing from an early age and worked hard enough as an adult, it was just tepid. Sometimes, they printed books at their own expense, losing nearly a thousand pounds - a huge sum of money in this era, but unfortunately only five or six hundred copies were sold at the peak......
In addition to being able to barely be called a writer, even the market needs its own editors to make a living.
"Come on Butler, I'm sure you're a dusty pearl. Someday, you'll be the most famous writer in all of Britain! These were the words of encouragement from his editors, and it was because of this that Butler was able to survive the blows again and again.
In late 1851 and early 1852, the British Empire, which had always been invincible, suffered a crushing defeat in a war with a new Chinese state in the East. And it was a fiasco like the annihilation of the whole army, and even the entire colony of the Indian Peninsula was lost......
When the news came back home, the whole country of Britain was shocked!
From the princes and nobles, politicians and high-ranking officials, to the common people, they couldn't believe the newspaper reports at all. There were even radical British patriots who stormed the newspaper offices and shouted "It's not April Fool's Day, even if it's an April Fool's joke"!
But after confirming the authenticity of the news, the whole of Britain fell into a terrible silence. They can't believe that in the eyes of Westerners, the barbaric, backward, and uncivilized East can have such a powerful country!
"Don't the Orientals all wear exaggerated costumes and wield broadswords and spears against our guns? It only takes a few thousand British soldiers to occupy the whole of India! Why was it beaten like this by an emerging Chinese country? ā
Countless Britons have asked such a question and are very curious......
Against this backdrop, Butler was keenly aware of an opportunity!
The common people of the whole of Britain, and indeed the whole of the West, are very curious about this powerful and mysterious country of the East, and are eager to know what kind of country it is.
Where there is demand, there is a market!
Butler decided to seize this opportunity, he gritted his teeth and took out all his net worth savings to buy a ferry ticket to Xuanyuan City - this was the first civilian ship to go to Xuanyuan City, the capital of the Chinese Divine Kingdom.
He decided that he must firmly seize this opportunity to truly and comprehensively show Westerners the style of the mysterious Eastern power of the Chinese Divine Kingdom!
Even he had already thought of the title of the book he wanted to write, and it was called ...... "Records of the Divine Kingdom of China"! Well, it's going to catch fire. (To be continued.) )
