Chapter 22: The Ghost King of Fuso
Is it really a seal?!
Zhang Xiaofan heard the system prompt, and originally had an indifferent attitude towards this lifting of the seal, but as soon as the three hundred points came out, Zhang Xiaofan, who was tempted, had to try his best to help Alice.
When the women heard the news, they all rushed over, but unfortunately they consulted many classics and didn't know what was going on in the mirror, so they couldn't give any valid opinions at all.
A year later, everyone had already rummaged through all the books in the British Library, but unfortunately they couldn't find a way, Zhang Xiaofan sighed: "It seems that if you want to solve this problem, you need to go back to Daming once." ”
"Does Daming have such a book?" Alice asked.
"I don't know, but in Han culture, there is a spell similar to this kind of space, called Fudi Dongtian, and some immortals can hide between things and mustard seeds. This magical wonderland is now sealed in a mirror, similar to this mustard spell. ”
Zhang Xiaofan explained, as for whether it will be successful or not, I will talk about it when the time comes.
"If you go to Daming, this mirror will be transferred to the past, and there are still two problems that need to be solved," Alice was still nervous on her face, and said: "One is whether this mirror can be moved, after all, it connects the two spaces, if it moves to Daming Huaxia, whether it is still connected to the magical fairyland." Another question, this mirror is very thin and brittle, if you take a boat, I am afraid that the road will be bumpy, and it may be broken in case of accidents, can you think of an insurance solution. ”
The latter problem is technical, Alice has worked as a maritime merchant once, and knows that the damage rate of porcelain from China is particularly high, especially after passing through places such as the Cape of Good Hope, which is simply devastating.
Because of Zhang Xiaofan's existence, many things in this world were invented in advance, such as telephones, telegraphs, etc., but there are also many things that have been delayed, such as the Panama Canal, such as the Suez Canal.
Among them, the Suez Canal was supposed to be renovated by the Kingdom of Spain in the 16th century, but because the Spanish kings were captured by themselves, no one mentioned this canal again.
After entering the nineteenth century, various countries proposed a great transformation of the world, and Zhang Xiaofan handed over many things to the Lazar family as much as possible in order to improve the position of the Lazar family, or built some projects for the benefit of the people within the scope of the Lazar family.
Unfortunately, Egypt and Panama are both semi-colonial, owned by the Holy See or the Dark Council, and the Lazar family has no interest in investing since they cannot get the right to own.
The two canals are slowly being built in the hands of the Holy See and the Dark Council, and because of the eight-hour working day and the five-day working day set by Zhang Xiaofan, these two projects are progressing very slowly, and it is expected that they will be completed for at least ten years.
Before the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal were dug successfully, there were now three ways to transport goods from Europe to Asia: one by sea, one by land and one by air.
Don't doubt that under the guidance of Zhang Xiaofan, air transport has established hot air balloons and airships, of which the airships can reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour with the help of diesel engines, and if only 50 people are transported, the oil loaded and carried inside can support the airship around the world.
Alice has always paid attention to merchant ships and does not know much about these inventions on land, but Zhang Xiaofan, the founder of the Lazar family, has always paid attention to these things, so he is particularly aware of these things.
Although the airship has not yet flown such a long distance, it is a very good attempt for Zhang Xiaofan, and it only takes three to five days to fly from London to the capital of Daming, China.
The Arthur airship has been built for more than a year, has carried out two test flights, is running well, and can carry 48 tons, so after Zhang Xiaofan took all the women to step on the airship, he set off together with the friendly mission from London to visit Daming.
This time, the members of the friendly mission were all members of the Lazar family, a total of more than 100 people, and they all stayed in their rooms honestly, and occasionally went out to make their voices as low as possible to avoid disturbing their ancestors.
Zhang Xiaofan's identity is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and it is not revealed to the outside at all, but the internal members can sense the power of Lazar's bloodline through special methods. Zhang Xiaofan originally created this exercise, mainly to prevent the scandal of consanguineous marriage of a huge heir.
Although there are at most seven or eight generations of family inheritance, even if close relatives get married, it won't affect anything in theory, but what should be avoided should be avoided.
The airship flies from a high altitude and passes by the wind, and if it is a normal voyage, you also need to pay attention to elements such as weather. It's just that this time Zhang Xiaofan was there, and he directly used mana to drive away the clouds, and the wind and sun were beautiful all the way.
Three days passed in a flash, and under the guidance of the envoy of the Central Asian region, that is, the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty, the entry procedures were handled, and then the airship continued to fly towards the capital of the Ming Dynasty. And Zhang Xiaofan landed first with the girls and came to the Kunlun Mountain Wonderland.
Kunlun Mountain is said to be a fairyland, in fact, it is just more than ten Taoist temples, and there are three or two kittens in the Taoist hall, there is no great god at all, and when he saw Zhang Xiaofan appear with a group of beauties, he shouted to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
Discouraged, Zhang Xiaofan left Kunlun Mountain with his daughters, but he didn't expect the cultivation world in the Ming Dynasty to be so withered, even the European continent is generally incomparable, no wonder the contemporaries in the real world were directly abused.
The appearance of the women is indeed different from ordinary people, and they are all dressed in Western appearance, which can easily make some locals who have never seen white people think that they are demons and monsters.
For this reason, Zhang Xiaofan could only let the women transform into Han men, dressed in gorgeous robes and showing talents, with a sword on his waist, and then went to the next destination station.
The founding of the Ming Dynasty has gone through five hundred and forty years, and the length of the country has been chasing the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the reason for this is that the domestic Ming royal family and the Shilin factions are all grateful to one person, that is, the Great Qin Holy Emperor on the other side of the Eurasian continent.
The Holy Emperor of Great Qin sent his daughter to bring high-yielding and hardy crops, and also provided and helped immigrants and colonize the Nanyang region. Nowadays, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty has been unprecedented, and the territory is even more vast and modern, reaching the Arctic Ocean in the north, Oceania in the south, the Sea of Japan in the east, and the ancient countries of the Western Regions in Central Asia in the west.
The population of the Ming Dynasty also expanded to the limit with its territory, and by the end of the 19th century, the population was about 800 million. This is still a large population movement, and it is not possible to calculate accurate data for the time being.
The population size is large, and the development speed is relatively fast, but the original accumulation of capital of many of these big families is bloody, and the innocent are Chinese compatriots.
After all, only white people like to use slaves to complete the primitive accumulation of colonization, and the Chinese have always been proud and like to toss their own people. What's more, because of the geographical location, the places that the Chinese can colonize are their own territory, except for Ah San, a big country in the most marginal area, whose land has been occupied by Britain.
The feudal path to capital of the Ming Dynasty, which could not be colonized, cost hundreds of millions of compatriots the blood and sweat, and a large number of people took refuge in the mountains and forests in order to escape.
As a result, many people living in seclusion in the mountains had to go out of the mountains and forests and hide in the city. So Zhang Xiaofan searched back and forth many times, but he didn't find a master who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
From east to west, from north to south. After more than a year, on this day, I came to a county called Haiya in the territory of Liangguang, and went to the local county town to inquire about the famous Taoist temple in the local area as usual.
More than 30 people and their entourage have not yet asked for any news, but the county town is depopulated, the market is deserted, and there are not many restaurants and restaurants that should be a prosperous county.
"Objectively, I don't know, recently there was a ghost king of Fusang on the beach, ravaging the neighbors, all the people who could walk in the county town left, and those who stayed behind were helpless people," the shopkeeper had a big mole on his face, and he looked bad, listening to his accent, he belonged to the kind of person who was helpless.
"What is the Fuso Ghost King?" Zhang Xiaofan was a little speechless, but he eliminated it easily, and immediately pulled Xiao Er to ask for details.
That Xiao Er was originally one more mouthful, but he didn't expect this guest to be interested, and he had nothing to do, so he bowed down and explained it for the sake of Zhang Xiaofan's reward.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not colonize abroad, the major families in the country and the generals of the army all tried their best to dig up silver in order to make gold and silver, especially the Fusang country next to it, that is, the Wa country was rich in silver mines, so after the Ming Dynasty developed, the thirty-six families in the coastal area basically covered the Fusang.
It is not the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom who is now in charge, but the Thirty-six Elements of the Ming Dynasty. The political and economic fall of the Wa Kingdom, and the capitalization of the Ming Dynasty and Europe, inevitably led to the emergence of some progressives. These people established a government in exile, the Fuso State.
As a government-in-exile, Fuso admires retro samurai, but unfortunately its combat effectiveness is too weak, so it has been suppressed, and in order to obtain funds and arms, Fuso samurai have simply engaged in piracy.
And when the Fuso Ghost King was alive, he was a general among the Fuso samurai, and after his death, he didn't know what was going on, and his cultivation increased greatly, and his military force was greatly improved.
Just when Zhang Xiaofan and Xiao'er learned about the Fusang Ghost King, at the ancestral tomb of Shijia Town outside the city, a beautiful and stunning woman dressed up, preparing for tonight's underworld marriage, she was going to marry the Fusang Ghost King tonight, if she refused, the entire Shijia Town would be killed by the Ghost King.
Miss Shi, who is already beautiful, is more than half of her, cold and beautiful, with an elegant and dreamy temperament, like a fairy, but her pale cheeks have a morbid beauty, and everyone can only pity that she is such a stunning beauty, but she has to be married by a ghost king of Fusang country.
Because her parents had just passed away, Miss Shi was originally wearing a white filial piety dress, but because it was a secret marriage today, she had to put on a black dress in addition to the white thick clothes, and her delicate and delicate face gave people a strange and refreshing feeling.
The eyes of everyone in Shijiazhen looked at the beautiful Miss Shi, both pity and pity, and at the same time mixed with a kind of relief and relief, since the ghost king married his own miss, the people of Shijiazhen will be able to get rid of the torture of the ghost king of Fusang in the future.
As for whether the Fusang Ghost King will kill the people in Linzhen in the future, Shijia Town can't control it.
This kind of thinking is not one or two people, most people think like this, and even many people in the town feel how they don't have such a beautiful young lady in their own family, otherwise their town will be safe in the future.
"It seems that I will meet this ghost king at night," Zhang Xiaofan heard Xiao Er explain to himself, and decided to eradicate this ghost king at night and eliminate harm for the people.
