Chapter 114: Let's go, let's go.

Daming's experience is like a dream, very unreal. Standing on the deck of a cruise ship and observing the battlefield at the Thames estuary with a telescope, Chen Xie's mind was filled with scenes from an old movie "Lin Zexu", in which the fleet of the British Empire bombarded the Humen Fort with cannons, opening the ancient gates of the country. History cannot be rewritten, although this may be a dream, but Chen Xie still does not give up, and wants to repeat similar scenes.

The heavy artillery fire turned the fort on the shore into a sea of fire, and no one would have survived just from the binoculars. But this is not the case, the power of the artillery is really great, and the British army, who learned to dig trenches, gritted their teeth to bear it.

At the beginning of the landing, the well-concealed battery opened fire on the boats in the sea, despite the discovery of hot air balloons floating in the sky. The British counterattack was stubborn and resolute, and when the Ming soldiers rushed to the fort, the lobster soldiers rushed out with bayonets in hand-to-hand combat. But they were greeted with shotguns, and a shot was a piece. The whole course of the battle did not seem fierce to the Ming army, because it was difficult for the opponent to cause trouble for their advance. Even if the British army was strictly defended, the Ming landing force only paid more than 100 casualties to occupy the batteries on both sides of the strait, and the gate to London was opened.

After the auxiliary ships cleared the river, the army advanced along the riverbank, and the navy covered the fire along the river, all the way to London. Ships with a large displacement naturally cannot go through the river, but sailboats of more than a thousand tons have no pressure. Chen Xie stayed at sea for the time being to wait for news, and a week later, the news came back that London had surrendered.

Eight thousand British troops were killed in the battle, 30,000 British were wounded or captured, and many more were withdrawn from London. the city. It seems to be the first time it has been occupied by an army from a foreign country (if I'm not mistaken). Riding on a sail warship, Chen Xie appeared in London with a few retinues.

When I was a child, I learned a song called London Bridge, but unfortunately, there is no such bridge now, which cannot but be said to be a small regret. The greater regret is. There is no Buckingham Palace. So, there's nothing to see in London. This is probably Chen Xie's last wish, to wander around London at will. The citizens of London cast all kinds of mixed eyes, and the mainstream was hatred.

No one knows what Chen Xie is thinking at the moment, so what is Chen Xie thinking in his heart? At this moment, Chen Xie's true thoughts in his heart are a bit similar to his long-cherished wishes, what Chen Xie did in this time and space is nothing more than wanting everyone in the Ming Dynasty to know two things. First, the world is unacceptable. It is not advisable for a family to have a surname or a nation to sit in this world. Because once the country is in this state, the first consideration of the entire ruling class will always be the seat below the ass. That's why there is such a remark as "I'd rather be an outsider than a domestic slave". The reason is very simple, when outsiders come, they are leaving, and when the house slaves are up, they are going to take their place. Two. This world is actually useless and fair, just like the Qing army that broke through the Great Wall pass and entered the customs. I won't be reasonable with you. Fairness is something that you can strive for on your own. A country that strives to do its best may get more justice for others around it, and a country that strives to do its best will get more justice than other countries.

Fairness is always relative. If you think it's fair, others won't think it's fair. One person, one perspective, one person, one thinking, the so-called "not suffering from poverty but suffering from inequality" is actually a paradox. Only be yourself. Only when a country is strong will it have a corresponding international status. This is the nature of the world, and it has never changed.

Human society has never been fair, anyone who tells you, mix with me, I will give you justice. Remember, he is lying to you and wants you to give him blood and sweat and suck blood from you. Putting aside the history of foreign countries, just looking at the history of China, this country, and this society, there has never been fairness. The result of the efforts of generation after generation can only shorten this gap indefinitely, but the gap will not disappear, because there is a gap between people themselves. This gap may be IQ, emotional intelligence, perseverance, adaptability to society, psychological endurance, personal family education, and so on.

Whether it is a person or a country, everything can only be relied on by oneself. If you are strong, others will not dare to worry about you.

It was already a week after leaving London, and the round-the-world journey continued, this time on the African coast, and when he arrived in Cape Town for supplies, Chen Xie pointed to the mainland of South Africa and said to the people around him: "This place must be firmly grasped in your hands." "What South Africa has, Chen Xie knows very well, but he can't say it now, let's wait for the future.

Chen Xie's side has always been followed by a cabinet clerk, and his words and deeds in public are recorded. This is specially arranged by the cabinet, if Chen Xie really leaves, he will be passed on. Even if it is not now, future generations will do the same, and it is good to have a little more historical data.

Chen Xie himself doesn't know where his next stop is, and whether he can see the biography set up for him by the descendants of this time and space.

India finally came into view, and this trip around the world was very hurried, without even waiting for a result of the British campaign. When he arrived in Mumbai, Chen Xie finally got an accurate figure, and there are now 1,288 large and small earth kings in India. The largest earth king, the territory may be a county. The smallest, probably a township. And all the big cities and transportation hubs are in the hands of the Ming and Japanese from outside. Relying on taxes alone, we can feed a million people every year, and we can also pay more than 50 million taxes to the state. Now India is mainly agricultural, and the traditional folk weaving has been completely destroyed, and the Ming capitalists have flooded the homespun cloth with cheap cotton cloth.

Objectively speaking, the standard of living of Indians is extremely low, but more objectively speaking, their will to resist is constantly strong.

Along the coastline, Tan saw the Strait of Malacca, saw Temasek, and when the cruise ship passed through the strait, there was a strong wind blowing on the sea, dark clouds, and the wind and rain were approaching. At this time, Chen Xie stood on the splint, letting the fierce sea breeze blow on his face. Chen Xie's brain was not flooded, but the watch on his wrist began to vibrate violently, or continuously.

When the wind was rushing and people couldn't stand, a black hole appeared out of thin air in the air, and everyone saw the black hole moving slowly, and finally swallowed Chen Xie, who was standing firmly in place. Chen Xiang still left, the moment the black hole disappeared, the dark clouds dispersed, the wind stopped, the sun was shining on the sea, and the sky was cloudless.

I don't know who let out a wail: "Chen Xiang! You can't go! The people on the entire cruise ship knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying bitterly, and some of the waiters around Chen Xie didn't feel pain when their heads were broken, and they kept kowtowing there, crying bitterly.

When the news came back to Daming, the cabinet was silent, and finally decided to publish the news in the "Daming Times", and the artistic news was as follows: "The ship passed through Temasek, colorful auspicious clouds suddenly appeared on the horizon, and cranes flew all over the sky, as if in a fairyland for a while. Fluttering fairy music fell from the sky, cranes flew feathers and formed ladders, Chen Xiang picked up the stairs and drove the clouds. ”

This is a complete myth of Chen Xie, and it is also a consolidation of the national policy formulated by Chen Xie. Although natural science has flourished now, stories about immortals are still very popular in Daming. Especially embodied in Chen Xie's body, saying that he is not an immortal, no one believes it, right? You say, a ninety-year-old man doesn't look old when he looks old, how can this be reasonable? All the laws of nature are not reflected in him, and there is no need for the gods to explain them. Besides, who can explain so many things that Chen Xie has made? Or how Newton would have ended up studying theology instead? Isn't it that on the basis of the existing one, he really can't understand the world and the universe, so he goes to the extreme and turns to theology.

All the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty reprinted the news, and when the people heard the news, they burned incense everywhere and bowed and said goodbye in tears. In the palace, Zhu Cihong, who heard the news, was silent for a long time, and finally decided to send a letter to the cabinet, asking to move out of the symbolic place of the Forbidden City, and put forward a proposal to transform it into a museum.

The cabinet was quite surprised by this, and in this way, the sense of existence of the imperial power was even worse, how should it be answered? The entire cabinet held a meeting for ten days, and finally quarreled and came to a conclusion that the Forbidden City was still the property of the imperial family, and the cabinet did not express any opinion on the matter of changing it to a museum. The people do not want to visit the cabinet, and the annual appropriation to the royal family remains unchanged. The cabinet chose another place to build a palace for the royal family to live in.

Zhu Cihong, who got the reply, replied: There is no need to be like this, Chen Xiang gave the Xishan Villa to the royal family and moved there directly. Anyway, there aren't many people, and it won't expand in the future. Probably like this, the emperor and the cabinet reached an agreement, Zhu Cihong moved out of the Forbidden City, and after the cabinet was renovated, it was changed to a museum, which was opened to the outside world, and the royal family took care of the problem of charging fees. This rule has been set and continued. Because of this move, the cabinet was completely relieved of the royal family.

Later generations studied this period of history and came to a startling conclusion, when the news of Chen Xiang's departure came back, the first reaction of the cabinet was to send troops to control the imperial family. And the transfer was not the army in the city, but directly from Liaodong. People were deeply pleased with Zhu Cihong's reaction, thinking that if they did not do so, it was likely that the cabinet would force Zhu Cihong to abdicate and become the emperor for their own interests, and then find the youngest among his sons to be the emperor.

This conclusion has been unanimously recognized by historians, who believe that this conclusion is too reasonable. Of course, the official history's statement on this matter is another face, and no one has mentioned the matter of Liaodong's troop transfer. The conclusions of the private research of historians will certainly not be able to make it to the official history.

So, where did Chen Xie go? (To be continued.) )
