Chapter 4 World Pattern
Anyone's first reaction when they heard Zhao Chen's words might be that Zhao Chen was joking.
But Tu Qiushan knew Zhao Chen's identity, and his friendship with Zhao Chen was not shallow, and he clearly knew that Zhao Chen was the kind of man who wanted him to joke more than kill him.
"All the people... It's all coming to the New World... And what about those who are abroad? ”
Tu Qiushan tried his best to keep himself calm, and he set his eyes on the map of the new world.
On this old hand-drawn map, the continents of America and Oceania are completely empty.
Tu Qiushan also took into account that the navigation technology of this world is too backward, so he has not found these two continents yet, what he really cares about is his son who is studying in Europe...
"We were also able to contact some troops who were conducting peacekeeping and escort missions overseas, and from that we were afraid that... Nationals from abroad have also come to this new world, but they are still in a foreign country. Zhao Chen said.
Still in a foreign country...
Whether it was Tu Qiushan or Zhao Chen, they could feel the heaviness of this sentence.
"What is the current situation in the world?"
Tu Qiushan adjusted his breathing and set his eyes on the European continent on the map.
"According to a short-term investigation, the historical process of this world should be between 1800 and 1900, and the history of Bactria is the same as that of China in the general direction."
Zhao Chen said that this passage is based on the fact that this national teacher Yi Zheng is not the only one who is being interrogated.
Judging from the intelligence gathered after many interrogations and investigations, the history of the country of Great Xia is really very similar to the past of Huaguo.
"But there are some small details that are a little different." Zhao Chen said.
"Small details?"
When Tu Qiushan heard that it was a hundred events from 1800 to 1900, he instantly felt that the situation of foreign students and tourists had become dangerous.
"For example, the American continent."
Zhao Chen pointed to the location of the quaint map, and then looked at Yi Zheng and asked.
"According to the signature of the person who drew it, this map was drawn in 1853 of the world calendar, and the person who drew it was not from the Great Xia country, but from the West..."
"A cartographer of the Ainland Empire, one of the leading nations of the Western Empire."
Yi Zheng told Zhao Chen the origin of this map, which is now a popular world map among domestic scholars in Great Xia.
In Zhao Chen's hand, it is a copy version.
"The American continent that Your Excellency is talking about is probably referring to the New World discovered by the Western countries more than ten years ago." Yi Zheng continued.
In the past, he also traveled to Western countries for a period of time and learned a lot of advanced knowledge before returning to China to become a national teacher.
The American continent was only discovered by Western navigators more than a decade ago, and the process of colonization may have just begun.
"More than 10 years ago? Is there anything dangerous in the sea of this world? Zhao Chen asked.
The current situation of the Great Xia Kingdom is completely the end of a certain dynasty in the former Huaguo, and the Western countries are eyeing the Great Xia.
But this timeline has only Western countries begun to colonize the American continent?
Zhao Chen knew that he couldn't completely substitute the history of his own world into this world.
But the progress of seafaring exploration in this world is inevitably too slow.
The reason Zhao Chen can think of is... The oceans of this world are more 'dangerous' than the original world.
"Sea monsters, as the Western countries call them, inhabit deep locations in some sea areas that can easily swallow an entire fleet."
Yi Zheng was talking about the legend that even children didn't believe in in the original world, but Zhao Chen's expression became more solemn after hearing it, and then reported the matter through the communication device.
After the report, Zhao Chen began to ask about the question that Tu Qiushan was most concerned about
"What is the situation of Great Xia in the world now?"
This question made the Great Xia National Master silent for a while, and Liang Jiu Yizheng said the current situation of Great Xia in a very simple sentence.
"I'm afraid it's no different from a slave."
"Slaves?"
Zhao Chen fell into deep thought when he heard this word, and Tu Qiushan, who was sitting next to him, clasped his hands even tighter.
Because Tu Qiushan knew that the worse Da Xia's situation in this world, the more dangerous the Chinese citizens abroad became!
"Western countries have coveted Bactria for many years, starting from the defeat in the shipping trade war with Ainlan decades ago, the western countries have invaded the territory of Bactria many times in a row, and Bactria has lost more than victories... In addition, in order to protect himself, Jun is now only willing to surrender rather than fight, and cedes half of the territory north of the 'Tianhu' to the Western countries many years ago. ”
Yi Zheng was trying to control his emotions just like Tu Qiushan when he talked about these humiliating histories, and then he pointed his hand lightly at the 'chicken back' of the map... The location that is no longer marked as the territory of Bactria in the map of the Western Kingdoms.
"Years of war have caused Bactria to lose too much, and many of the people of Bactria have been captured or sold into slavery in Western countries, so now in the laws of most Western countries... Yellow people are not protected. ”
Hearing Yi Zheng's words, Tu Qiushan almost crushed his palm, and his eyes became extremely terrifying.
Half of him is angry, and the other half is that he is increasingly worried about the safety of thousands of Chinese citizens abroad!
In this world, the situation of the yellow race seems to be even worse than the original world, and from Yi Zheng's description, the status of the yellow race in the Western countries may be equal to that of domestic animals.
This will put those Chinese citizens who have just arrived in this world and do not know what the situation is.
"Didn't this country participate in the war of aggression against Bactria ?
Zhao Chen asked a very tricky question, and he pointed to an island country under the 'chicken head', which brought them a lot of suffering in the original world.
"Sakura? The cherry blossoms are now a vassal state of Bactria ... It's just that in recent years, Great Xia has been declining, and they are probably also thinking about getting rid of Great Xia's control. ”
Yi Zheng didn't ask Zhao Chen why he asked this question, because he had also deeply understood the history of Huaguo through the scenes transmitted from the dragon vein.
"In that case... The only enemies to be fought are to the west and north. ”
Zhao Chen muttered, although Yi Zheng and Tu Qiushan heard it, they didn't express too many opinions.
However, after listening carefully to the north and the west and north, the Earth Spirit Beicheng next to it secretly shouted and waved his little hand excitedly.
Although Zhao Chen noticed the small movements of the earth spirit girl, he didn't care.
The reason why the cherry blossoms are still vassals of Bactria is that island country... It may have something to do with the slow development of navigation in this world.
Western countries have just begun to colonize the American continent, and the eagle sauce that is now a headache for China is still in the womb.
Naturally, there will be no incident of the black ship opening the country.
It's just that Daxia is declining like this, even if Eagle Sauce doesn't kick open the door of the cherry blossoms, other countries will do it sooner or later.
Zhao Chen still focused his attention on the current situation in Great Xia.
"How much do you know about the movements of the Western countries now?" Zhao Chen continued to ask.
"A few months ago, Great Xia was defeated by the Republic of Farot, and in order to negotiate peace with the king, he decided to cede Xishuang County... The cession treaty has been signed, but the handover has not yet been completed. ”
"When will the army that the country is responsible for receiving arrive?" Zhao Chen looked at Xishuang County near the cocktail and asked.
"Today, according to the agreement, the spirit of Xishuang County will be handed over to the Republic of Phalo, and this territory will have nothing to do with Great Xia from now on." Yi Zheng said.
Earth Spirits...
Zhao Chen's eyes looked at the girl standing in the corner of the interrogation room again, judging from Yi Zheng's account, the earth spirits probably have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea in the realm where they are.
It is not the land itself that is ceded between countries, but the spirit of the land that inhabits it... You can also see the importance of the earth spirits.
"They don't get anything." Zhao Chen looked at Yi Zheng's worried expression and said in a deep voice: "From now on, they don't want to snatch anything from us again!" ”
