Final Chapter Back to History
. . Co
The shipwreck did not have any impact on the development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, on the contrary, after the shipwreck, domestic shipbuilders shouted that they wanted to build bigger and safer shipping ships. No one cares about the whereabouts of Xingzhen and her party, they are already dead.
The cold war between Xiao Yungui and his wife did not last long, because the second prince Xiao Youfu proposed to study abroad, of course the couple was reluctant, but no matter how much persuasion worked, the things that this kid decided would not be changed easily. So Xiao Youfu left China, left his parents when he was 12 years old, and went to Europe to study, which was ten years. After traveling around Europe, Xiao Youfu returned to China at the age of 22 and began to work as a research professor at the Royal Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In the Royal Academy of Sciences, Xiao Youfu is like a fish in water, his life's research includes electromagnetism, electronics, became China's great inventor, he invented new **, electric lamps and other items in his life have applied for patents, and later he used patent fees to set up Xiao Youfu bonus to reward people in the world who have contributed to scientific research. Of course, there is a difference between the Xiao Youfu Prize and the Nobel Prize in later generations, he has no prejudice, and he still has a special prize for the subject of mathematics.
After the affairs of the former Qing Dynasty came to an end, Xiao Yungui began to lead the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom into a period of rapid golden development, domestic industry and commerce have been developed at a high speed, new railways and factories are everywhere, minerals are being developed in many places, and the national strength has been further steadily improved.
In the American Civil War and the Prussian War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made a large amount of war money, and in the War of the Japanese Downfall, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom sucked up the last bit of Japanese blood, and more than 70% of Japan's gold and silver at that time flowed into China. As a result, Japan's reform movement was delayed by 20 years. When Japan found itself lagging behind China for half a century, they could no longer catch up, and the unstable situation at home reduced Japan to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, just as miserable as China at the same time in later generations.
In 1885, after twenty years of recuperation between China and Russia. China completed the basic industrial transformation and began to enter the modern industrial power, while Russia also completed the domestic reform. After the changes brought about by the development, the two sides fought for control of Central Asia. In July of that year, Russia began to intervene under the pretext of civil strife in the Kazakh Khanate. Immediately, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom declared that Russia's actions were an invasion of a country, and immediately went to war with Russia.
At this time, after 20 years of development, the railway to Xinjiang, Mongolia and other places has been completed, and the leader in Xinjiang is still Shi Dakai, who is nearly fifty years old, led the Northwest Taiping Army to resist the retaliatory invasion of Russia. At this time, the Northwest Taiping Army received a steady supply of arms and materials from the interior, and the war was tilted towards the side of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the beginning, because at this time the Russian railways had not yet been built to Central Asia. Later in history, Russia began to build a narrow-gauge railway from Turkmenbashi to Kizil Alvat in 1879, and built it to Merv in 1886, Samarkand in 1888, and Tashkent-Andijan in 1898. And because of the defeat of Russia, the construction of railways in Central Asia was much later. It was only in 1885 that the construction of the narrow-gauge railway from Turkmenbashi to Kizil Alvat began in Russia, and only then did it begin. Construction has not yet begun.
Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had mastered the main artery of supply and transportation, took the initiative, and they continued to receive a steady stream of soldiers, munitions, and materials from the interior, while Russia suffered a great loss of supply difficulties. The two sides fought a three-year war on the territory of the Kazakh Khanate, committing more than one million troops, and finally the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was victorious, and the Russians lost more than 300,000 troops. In the end, the war was finally ceased under the mediation of Britain, France and other countries. Through the war, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom further stabilized the situation in northern Xinjiang. Looking at the Asian region, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the largest power.
In the South Seas region. In 1889, a war broke out between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Spain over control of the Philippines, through which the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom acquired the colony of the Philippines and further consolidated its control of the South Seas. Then, in 1893, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom invaded Hawaii and overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established a foothold in the Pacific Ocean, pushing the defense circle further outward.
In 1895, Xiao Chaogui, the founding emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of China, was critically ill, and when he was dying, he issued an edict to pass the throne to the eldest prince Xiao Youhe.
Xiao Chaogui's life led the soldiers and civilians of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to overthrow the rotten Qing Dynasty and open the door to modern times for this ancient country, but his land reform in the country was not complete, and the emerging bourgeois forces began to expose the problem of unfair distribution, which laid hidden dangers for the reform of the country after the development of the new bourgeois forces to a certain extent. But he can do enough in this life, just as he held Hong Xuanjiao's hand when he was dying and said: "I can only go so far in this life, and then it depends on how future generations will do it, but I think it is the worst, and it will not let the country fall into the same period in our previous life." ”
After the death of Xiao Yungui, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to embark on the road of instability, and the contradictions between the domestic bourgeoisie and the proletariat became more and more prominent, fortunately, Xiao Yungui died, and Hong Yun'er was there, in 1898, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom carried out a constitutional monarchy reform, and the power of the emperor was further weakened, which more met the requirements of all domestic forces. But in 1910, the Empress Dowager Hong Xuanjiao and Wang Minyun also passed away one after another, without the reminder of the mother of the country and the virtuous minister, the second emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Xiao Youhe, let go of his hands and feet, and during the First World War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom joined the side of the Central Powers, allied with Prussia, Austria-Hungary, and other countries against Britain, France, Russia and other countries.
Of course, history is always strikingly similar, World War I ended with the defeat of the Central Powers, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as the defeated country broke out in the revolution, and the proletariat in the country rose up to demand the abolition of the emperor and the establishment of a new republic. As a result, the old country returned to its original historical trajectory, and after more than 20 years of unremitting efforts, the proletarian forces in the country finally overthrew the imperial system and established a new republic. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom perished after only passing on two emperors, which is a little longer than the history of the Republic of China in history, of course, this is something that Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner don't know.
Back in 1895, when Xiao Yungui was dying, after arranging the edict of succession and the arrangements for the important ministers, Xiao Yungui asked Hong Yuner to stay alone, and the couple naturally had something to say.
Looking at her husband, who was already full of gray hair and dying, Hong Yun'er's tears kept rolling in her eyes, Xiao Yungui's old hand held Hong Yun'er's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, maybe I'm going to the soul again." ”
Hong Yun'er cried and said, "You go first, where will I find you in a hundred years?" ”
Xiao Yungui smiled and said: "I only now understand what the monk said to me before crossing Jizu Mountain, the world is impermanent, who can know what will happen later?" As long as we follow our own hearts and do our best, maybe Sixuan and Qingyun are already waiting for me in another world, maybe I'll go over first and wait for you over there. ”
Hong Yun'er couldn't cry and said: "Agui, I will definitely come to you, and we will be together in the next life, and we will never be separated." ”
Xiao Yungui said with a faint smile: "Yes, the two of us are resentful, and we will always be together, Yun'er, let's take the secret of the two of us to the ground." ”
Hong Yun'er held Xiao Yungui's hand and nodded tearfully, Xiao Yungui's eyes began to scatter, and he muttered to himself: "Yun'er, do you say that what we have done in this time and space is enough?" I can only go so far in this life, and then it will be up to the future generations to do what they do, but I think it will be the worst of all, and it will not let the country fall into the same situation as in our previous lives. ”
Hong Yun'er gently stroked Xiao Yungui's cheek and said softly: "You have done a good job, future generations will not say why we have lost so much territory when they mention us, if you are tired, just sleep......"
On the same day, Xiao Yungui passed away, the whole country mourned, and the historians of the later republics once said when studying the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, no matter what the second emperor did later, but at least the founding emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom laid the foundation for the later strong republic......
In 1910, the mother of the country Hong Xuanjiao died, the whole country mourned, later historians commented on this outstanding woman once said that this mother of the country is a model for women in the new century, she has done a lot for the liberation of women and fight for women's rights and interests, and is also one of the founders of a strong republic......
Another parallel time and space, there is also the same universe, the same galaxy, the same solar system and the earth, on the earth, there is also a country called Huaguo. In the country's capital university, this day ushered in a group of freshmen, among the freshmen there was a girl with glasses and an unattractive appearance, she was squeezed out of the registration point, unable to squeeze in at all, just when she was helpless, a whistle sounded behind her: "Beauty, do you need help?" ”
Turning her head, it was a boy who was a little older than her, dressed very richly, and when the boy saw her appearance, he immediately frowned and said, "Damn, why is it a dinosaur with glasses?" ”
The girl was very angry, stepped on him hard, and said angrily: "Why are you so rude? ”
The boy was trampled on tears and snot flowing together, and the girl clapped her hands and laughed: "It's so big and still has a runny nose, what a slug, you deserve it!" ”
The boy snorted, wiped his tears and snot, and looked at the girl a little strangely: "I'm a senior in my junior year, why do you, a new junior, look very familiar?" I was trampled on by you, and I didn't get angry. ”
"Yes, I feel this way too, if it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to step on someone's foot for the first time ......" (To be continued)
