Chapter 20: Nodes of the Times

After breaking down the actions needed for tomorrow, it's already dark. Another day, Nanhaibei asked about something, and Xie Xiuqi stayed with the two tigers for one night.

There was no word all night, and they rested in peace. An Qian slept peacefully outside Xie Xiuqi's bedroom, Xie Xiuqi got up to see it once, the little girl seemed to be tired during the day, and as soon as she got into bed, she slept soundly, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she was dreaming a sweet dream.

The snoring of the second tiger in the ear room was so earth-shattering that it could be heard here, only Xie Xiuqi was lying on the bed and rolling around, tossing and turning.

After a while, I remembered what Erhu An Qian said, the peerless girl who was as famous as the eldest princess, the sister who grew up with her since she was a child and loved her very much-that extremely soft face always floated and fell in her mind, or thin anger and slight anger, or soft gaze, or clever smile, or sad and sobbing.

vivid, and gradually with ...... In the early morning of that day, the beautiful face with tear stains under the messy hair on the pillow coincided in a trance.

Then I remembered with sin the night that had become clearer and clearer—in this room, with its tattered dresses, its vague memories, its wonderful dreams. And that morning, on this bed, the faint fragrance, the ...... who fell asleep with tears and kiss marks around him Slippery and soft, unobtrusive girl's body......

When he woke up that morning, what he saw was the red on the white jade peak, which was surrounded by bruises, kiss marks, and finger marks, and reproduced them repeatedly in his mind.

Although he has repeatedly told himself that although he is not related by blood, he is also a sister, and he himself has been deeply touched by him and regarded him as his own sister. But I don't know why, those messy but blood-pumping pictures in his memories always make his heart unconsciously hot.

After a while, I remembered what was on my mind, and while the plan was brewing heavily, it was gradually becoming clear.

It seems that I must see Uncle Lu once tomorrow.

I still have two crucial guesses that I can't get accurate, and I urgently need Uncle Lu, a person in the officialdom, to solve my doubts - but I rely on it to fight back, and I can't afford to miss the slightest. It is also necessary to confirm and reconfirm before it is appropriate.

Fortunately, An Qian also told himself that Uncle Lu still cares about himself for some reason, but he has long been disgusted with the outside world and can't beat him.

This is also very strange, what did my mother make Uncle Lu and my father owe her back then? It's not over for a lifetime? That's not done yet?

……

Gradually, Xie Xiuqi felt that his life experience was as strange as this era.

At the beginning, when An Qian saw that he was deep in thought after reading the part of Yongfu and went out to be busy, he glanced at some books related to the later development of the empire, and then asked An Qian again - this era has been completely different from the memory of the previous life since the change of the time-traveler......

A hundred years after the death of Yongzu Wang, the Yuan Dynasty gradually came to an end, and the Song Dynasty went on an expedition, but it was destroyed by the rebellion of the native people in the country.

The people of the Yuan Dynasty were struggling to make a living, and a large number of Han people who fled once again migrated on a large scale to the Far Song Dynasty, which had become a paradise in China. And the natives of the South Seas...... Anyone who is familiar with modern history knows what kind of fowl they are. Fearing the arrival of a large number of Han people again, and coveting the industrious Han people's gradual accumulation of wealth, they took advantage of the emptiness of the army expedition and rebelled.

Subsequently, when the expeditionary army of the Far Song Dynasty turned back in the middle of the road, delayed for several years to quell the rebellion, and brutally treated the natives who had caused heavy casualties to the people of the Far Song Dynasty and destroyed the great cause of regaining their homeland with the Ten Killing Orders and Expulsion Orders, and looked to the north again, the Ming Dynasty had already taken the opportunity to establish - without the interference of the unexpected factor of the Far Song Dynasty, history was also a little inertia.

As a result, the Far Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty fought for the orthodox position, and fought for a hundred years. The Far Song Dynasty was stronger and better than the navy, but it worked expeditions. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the land soldiers were strong and strong. The two great Chinese sea and land powers have been fighting for decades, but no one can help anyone.

Subsequently, the Age of Discovery began early due to the civilization brought by King Yongzu, and the Xiyi fleet appeared outside the strait of the original "Malacca" and now the "New Great Wall". In desperation, the Yuan Song Dynasty took the initiative to make a truce with the Ming Dynasty.

Daming, who was entangled in the sea by the Far Song Dynasty, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and also abandoned the treasure ship fleet built to counter the powerful Far Song Dynasty Navy according to the agreement, and began to ban the sea to govern the government, concentrate on internal and resist the grassland peoples, and turned a blind eye to the Far Song Dynasty that was rampant in all the seas of Asia, and even more so did not interact with each other. Since then, the Ming Dynasty has returned to the original track of history.

More than 100 years have passed, and the subsequent development of the Ming Dynasty is strikingly similar to history, and now the people are not living.

However, the Far Song Dynasty, which was bordered by the sea, was still thriving under the advanced system left by King Yongzu. Moreover, with the almost monopoly of silk, spices, tea, porcelain and other oriental specialties that are more expensive than gold in the West, and the incomparably developed maritime trade, the country is incomparably prosperous.

For more than 100 years, the Far Song Dynasty has represented the East, fighting the entire Western colonial world alone, and until today.

It's just that under the pressure of the west, I don't have the heart to look north......

……

This is actually a node-type era that is extremely important for my Great China!

The Ming Dynasty has reached the end of its period and will not last many years. The wild boar skin in the original history is also about to enter the customs during this time and space. Subsequently, Shenzhou fell, wild boar skin was even more perverse, and Chinese civilization entered the darkest period, and since then it has been in a slump until New China.

Fortunately, King Yongzu left a small seedling for China to participate in the Age of Discovery-the Far Song Dynasty, leaving a spark of hope for China.

However, the Far Song Dynasty was a country that gradually absorbed immigrants from its homeland, and the land was vast and sparsely populated. At this moment, it is even more confrontation with the strength of one country, and it is almost extremely urgent to open up the sea route to the East, and obtain those gold specialties in the East, and the entire Western world is in turn!

In the history of this time and space, the West did not even have much interest in the development of the Americas, and what they wanted most was to conquer the eastern seas and conquer the country full of gold in Marco Polo's travels!

Yes, the Yuan Song Dynasty seemed to be cooking oil with flowers and brocade fire at this time, but Xie Xiuqi was also keenly aware that it was gradually declining.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be powerless, but it had no intention of looking north - you know, the Ming Dynasty is already struggling with the people, and the Far Song Dynasty will not see it? Dayuan Song, who has become the king of the Oriental Sea, will not have any ideas?

There, but the homeland that the people of the Far Song Dynasty have always forgotten......

However, ninety percent of the current main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Far Song Dynasty is concentrated in the west! It's almost a turnip and a pit, and one can't move!

……

What is even more terrifying is that Xie Xiuqi knows the rapid development of the West in this Renaissance era, on the eve of the first industrial revolution. And with the history of this time and space being changed long ago, with such a strong strength of the Far Song Dynasty, the alliance of the West may not be impossible!

The empire on which the sun never sets is still in the beginning of its rise, and those who came to the East to challenge the Far Song Dynasty are still only small countries such as Portugal, the Netherlands, and Spain.

And they don't take turns to break the bloodstream, and they may not think of uniting.

But...... The era has been twisted beyond recognition, and who can guarantee that they will never think of uniting when they never have access to the land of gold they coveted? After all, the desire of Westerners for gold and oriental specialties in this era has become crazy, and it is the heyday of the moment!

If it goes on like this, let alone the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps, even the Far Song Dynasty will gradually be in danger of overturning!

……

The only fortunate thing is that everything is only in the gestation stage, and there is no sign of an outbreak yet.

Even the most dangerous Ming Dynasty, Xie Xiuqi also found that this version of the Ming Dynasty has not yet collapsed from the fragmentary descriptions heard by An Qi, or that the new era version of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng is still in the process of just raising the banner of righteousness, and has not yet wandered around, and has not yet reached the last moment when the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will be a mess, so that the wild boar skins can be plunged for thousands of miles as long as they break the barrier.

At least referring to the history of his original time and space, theoretically speaking, it seems that Da Ming will be a little later than the original time and space, and it will take several years or even more than ten years.

Not to mention that at this moment, he is still only stumped with all his energy and careless, and only with his own historical traveler combined with the forward-looking vision of the pre-history can he discover the declining Far Song Empire. As long as there are no major changes, the decisive battle between the east and the west will probably be at least ten or even decades away.

Yes, there is still time! Yes, it was the best of times and the worst of times!

At best, the dark ages of China may disappear in one fell swoop, and the trajectory of history will be completely changed. From now on, the Chinese people no longer need to stand up, because we have always been proud to stand at the top of the world's nations!

At worst, although there are variables added by King Yongzu back then, in the end, history will gradually coincide with the dark history of China in the original time and space......

In such an era, as a traverser, shouldn't you do something?

……

However, only by gaining the identity and status of taking charge of the helm of the giant ship of the Far Song Empire, everything will change because of himself! Only by becoming a giant of this era can this era make your strongest voice!

Only in this way can I stand up at the most dangerous moment, so that this node will officially become a turning point for the rise of China, rather than a sharp turn again, and let the glory of the East shine forever!

King Yongzu was limited to the times and only laid the foundation for the rise of China. And his mission is to build a solid and incomparably strong Chinese Huanghuang Mansion on that basis!

The homeland, the Far Song Dynasty, and even the Far Song Dynasty have also extended their tentacles to the exile area called "Xinlu" where the prisoners are recruited, the undeveloped land that is being burned and plundered by the West, and the virgin land that is being touched by the Far Song Dynasty - America!

The world is vast, and there is much to be done; The rise of China is now!

……

However, he was alone, possessed by the son of a little county and a prodigal gentleman. Not to mention the side, even now that my sister has been pitted, she has to work hard to rescue her.

If you want to participate in this big era, do something more, it's useless to be anxious, it's useless to dream, everything can only be accumulated little by little, step by step.

First wipe the butt of the predecessor, then completely reverse your image, and then find a way to enter, slowly seize power, slowly accumulate strength, and slowly stretch your hand to the rudder of the empire, so that this last giant ship of hope left by King Yongzu will grow at the fastest speed under his prophetic control, and move in the most favorable direction!

Until...... Danger is coming. Until the first full-scale collision of Eastern and Western civilizations! The decisive battle begins!

There is a long way to go, and a journey of a thousand miles also needs to start with a single step! The only consolation is that everything is still unexpected, and there is still plenty of time.

……

Xie Xiuqi rolled around on the bed like this, thinking silently.

A moment the soft murmur of a girl sounded in my ears; After a while, the plan to rescue his sister was full of details.

For a while, I heard in a trance that in this era of the most glorious era of sail battleships, the eve of the first industrial revolution. Outside the New Great Wall Strait, the Imperial Royal Navy led a civilian armed merchant fleet to counter the rumbling cannons of the Xiyi fleet and pirates.

For a while, it was more as if I saw a map of the world in the future, on the entire Azure Planet, almost all over the Eastern Hemisphere......

I don't know when I barely fell asleep.
