On December 1, 1894, the Ryukyu State Mission was officially stationed in Beijing, and the next day, a briefing on the dynamics of China's neighboring countries was sent back to the Beijing ship.

All this information was obtained from open channels, and it was impossible to obtain confidential information in such a short period of time. First of all, on the Japanese side: Since the end of the First Sino-Japanese War peace talks, Japan has regarded its failure to win as a great shame and has put forward a series of plans to strengthen its military.

With the assistance of the Japanese government, small and medium-sized enterprises have been acquired by large enterprises, and the four chaebols of Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Yasuda have rapidly concentrated more than 70 percent of the country's capital, and with the support of the government, a large amount of these capital has flowed into the basic industries for the development of weapons and equipment, such as the machinery manufacturing industry and the steel industry.

The Japanese government spent a huge amount of money to build the Yawata Iron Works to introduce advanced technology from European countries on the one hand, and actively support universities and research institutions to develop new technology on the other hand. The Japanese Navy established the Naval Arsenal in Kure Port, positioning it as the Navy's most important artillery manufacturing plant.

In the next five years, the Navy will build a "six-six fleet" with six battleships and six armored cruisers as the main body, and the first two battleships, the "Fuji" and "Yashima," will be commissioned at the end of November.

On November 29, King Gojong Yi Xi deposed Concubine Min as a concubine, and then Concubine Min died in the cold palace, and the cause of death is very suspicious, and most people speculate that the Japanese did it.

This Concubine Min is the Empress Myeongseong who is often mentioned in Korean TV dramas in later generations, and the assassination of Concubine Min this time was actually done by the pro-Japanese forces in North Korea, for no other reason, just because Concubine Min became the main figure of the pro-China forces after the First Sino-Japanese War, so she was eliminated by the Japanese and the pro-Japanese forces in North Korea. Soon after, Korea signed a series of trade agreements with Japan, and hired a large number of Japanese as advisers to the army and police.

On the Russian side: The new Tsar Nicholas II ascended the throne, amassed a large number of troops on the northeastern border, and transferred ships of the Baltic Fleet to Vladivostok, the seat of the Pacific Fleet. On the other hand, Russia accelerated the construction of railways in Northeast China, and Nicholas II specially allocated a part of the palace funds to support the construction of railways in Northeast China.

On the side of the Qing court: the Westernization movement gradually stagnated under the obstruction of the Qing rumor official Weng Tonghe and others, and the struggle between the Westernists and the conservatives intensified day by day; The Boxer Rebellion still existed, and foreign ministers in Beijing repeatedly announced that they would send troops before 1895 to punish the mob.

After Lin Yuan saw it, he couldn't help frowning, if the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance happened recently, needless to say, the battle at sea was not the opponent of the Beijing ship at all, but it was difficult to say the battle on the road, especially the Russia in the north, with strong troops, he looked at the briefing and thought silently: We must find a way to postpone the war that may come.

The crisis of cyanide pollution has passed, the Russians' church has been moved, the alchemy equipment inside has been secretly dismantled, and the Qing court has changed the new prefect, but Xu Feng still has not found out the whereabouts of the Beijing ship.

Xu Feng really didn't know what he should do, and now what he can do is to teach the children in the village to read and write, calculate addition and subtraction, or something, Xu Feng thought: "Others travel to the past, they can be kings and hegemons, but what about themselves, a carrier-based aircraft pilot returned to the late Qing Dynasty, but he can only be a rural teacher." ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and at this time, the poor third generation who was an entertainer came into the house and said with a smile: "Engong, there is something new near the county seat, do you want to go and take a look?" ”

This poor third generation now also lives in Aunt Liu's house, Aunt Liu is very hospitable, seeing that the poor third generation is also from a poor background, so he let him live, I didn't expect the poor three generations to pay rent, the poor three generations go to the teahouse in the county every day to perform, and the story of the living fairy Xu Feng is compiled into an allegro book, and there are quite a lot of people who listen to it.

The poor third generation said with a smile: "It is said that it is laying a railway, and people from ten miles and eight towns have gone to see it." ”

Xu Feng was also idle, so he followed the poor three generations, and as soon as he arrived at the place, he saw a group of people gathered around a long car, which itself was on the already paved railroad tracks, with many rails on it, and a chimney was smoking.

There were a lot of Russian soldiers with guns around the car, so the Chinese people did not get too close, and the people on the car operated the machine to put the rails directly from the car to the paved sleepers, and in the process of laying, there were naturally technicians responsible for alignment, and later fastening fasteners and welding.

Xu Feng couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the Russians building the railway, and he said to the poor three generations: "Do you know why these ** people want to build the railway?" ”

The poor third generation thought for a long time and shook his head.

Xu Feng frowned and said: "As soon as the railway is repaired, we will be able to send troops to us, and we will be able to snatch all our good things to Russia!" ”

The poor third generation seemed to understand, he nodded, and said hesitantly: "That is to say, the ** son repairs the railway, in fact, it is to harm us?" ”

Xu Feng nodded and said, "We can't let the trick of the ** son succeed, in this way, I have a way, will you dance the great god?" ”

"Jumping God" originated from the Manchu shamanic witchcraft, the people who jumped claimed to be possessed by the gods, so as to complete the cure, divination and other activities, there are also people who use this kind of activities to cheat people money, this kind of activities in the Northeast folk have a wide mass base.

The poor third generation said proudly: "Of course, we pay attention to what we learn from the arts, of course this will!" ”

Xu Feng whispered in his ear, and the poor third generation nodded yes.

The poor third generation came to the middle of the crowd, and suddenly screamed, causing everyone to look at him, he screamed and jumped and jumped, as if his whole body was on fire, and everyone was puzzled, and they all looked at him in fear, he lay on the ground with a wail, and after a while, he stood up straight, and his eyes were round.

Several children were frightened and cried, Xu Feng pointed to the car laying the rails, and said, "What is this!" Offend the land of my mountain gods! ”

His voice was cold, indescribably frightening, and several timid women had already picked up the children and fled home. He pointed to the car and said coldly: "I am a little immortal in the sky, and the Jade Emperor sealed me to this mountain." Now the foreign ghost shops this thing, let go of the demon and kill the sky! ”

After speaking, he repeated these words repeatedly, the faster he read them, the most breathless he was, he fell to the ground with an ordinary sound, and everyone present was too frightened to speak, Xu Feng ran over at this time, and the sharp-eyed ones had already recognized it, and discussed: "Isn't that the living immortal of Liujia Village?" ”

Xu Feng tightened his eyebrows, knelt down beside the poor third generation, and shouted angrily at the people around him: "Hurry up, the mountain god is angry, is it a joke?" ”

After speaking, he clasped his hands together, muttered something in his mouth, and then slapped the poor three generations on the head and shouted, "Get up!" ”

The poor third generation opened his eyes and said with a blank face: "What's wrong with me? How to lie on the ground? Why are you all looking at me? ”

Xu Feng said: "It's okay, the mountain god is angry, and he uses your body to warn everyone that this rail is an ominous thing!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all panicked, everyone dispersed in twos and threes, and there were also translators in the **, and they listened to the translators talk about what had just happened, and they were suspicious one by one.

Xu Feng left with the poor three generations, and on the way Xu Feng smiled: "You really act like you, but there is one point, how can you, the mountain god, still have Shandong Allegro?" ”

The poor third generation smiled: "I said Engong, can you scare the ** son away in this way?" ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Of course not, I still have a clever plan behind me." ”
