Flavor restaurant on the second floor of the canteen of Guozijian University.

Here, if you spend money, you can taste traditional cuisine that is representative of the world.

As a Chinese, opening your eyes to the world must start from eating, starting from eating, and it is easier to break people's inferiority complex and superstitious worship of the Angsa people.

After all, the people who can make Natunyu look like that ghost should be swept into the garbage heap no matter how you look at it.

The food that Ivana invited her friends to enjoy could not be the traditional food of Ansa or Vikings.

She took everyone to the traditional theme area of Rome to taste the traditional cuisine of her hometown, roasted pork leg.

After all, it is a restaurant for students and teachers, so naturally there will be no waiters, food delivery and the like.

Ivana instructed Li Fuming to bring a large plate of oily barbecue, and the four of them listened to the beautiful Roman music in their ears and began to enjoy the food.

"Ivana, is that your hometown?" Li Fuming stuffed a handful of meat slices into his mouth and asked vaguely.

"Sort of......

Ivana was also not to be outdone, rolled up the meat slices with a fork and put them in her mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed them, "I heard Wan Sleepy Ye tell my father that I will give him that place in the future, it is said that it used to be the territory of the Romans, and now it has become a pothos, but the pothos is also Luo, it should be about the same." ”

Li Fuming said again: "Then what is this song singing, you translate it for the translator, it sounds quite good, you see, I will hum." ”

"It seems to be called "Ancestor Board", right? I don't know, but I'll be able to understand it when I'm admitted to university! Ivana hugged her head and said that she had a big head, and after she passed the preparatory class, she planned to apply for linguistics.

Li Fuming nodded and said: "Linguistics is indeed a necessary knowledge for the empire to regain the mountains and rivers, I really envy you for having talent in this area, I still can't learn English." ”

"You were born to speak Chinese, how enviable, and the medicine you studied is the most advantageous guarantee for the conquest of the empire, right?"

Ivana glanced at him, feeling that Li Fuming was in Versailles himself, "But then again, the really powerful thing is Xiaoshi, who wants to be admitted to the military academy, which is really a great ambition!" ”

Shi Dingzhong nodded: "The enmity of my father, I dare not forget it, now that there is such an opportunity, of course Dingzhong must be the forerunner of long live." ”

"By the way, kill your classmates, what is your intention?" Li Fuming and the others invariably turned to Li Jingfang, who looked confused.

"That...... Volunteer...... No...... I actually don't have the surname to kill...... "Li Jingfang is about to cry, how do you feel that he can't understand what everyone says, can anyone translate and translate?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were going to kill Matt......"

Li Jingfang shrank his head, it was he who led Ivana and Shi Dingzhong astray, "Then let's introduce ourselves first!" My surname is Li, my name is Li Fuming, what about killing your classmates? ”

"Oh, it turns out that your surname is also Li, hello Li Fuming, my name is me, wait! …… Plum...... Fuming?!!! w(ﾟДﾟ)w”

Li Jingfang pounced and sat on the ground.

"Huh? Is the stool slippery? ”

Li Fuming stretched out his hand and lifted Li Jingfang up with one arm very easily, "Hehe, you are too thin, so thin, let alone going to the Military Academy, even if you come to our medical school, you can't enter the orthopedics department!" ”

Li Jingfang sat tremblingly in the chair, his back against the back of the chair, like a frightened partridge, "Inner ...... Brother Li, what are you talking about...... Is he an inner seeer? ”

"Anti-Qing and restore sight! Can it be an inner regain of sight? ”

Li Fuming slapped on the table, and suddenly said seriously, "My father, my mother, and my uncle's family were all killed by the Manchu dog officials, and my ideal in this life is to become a military doctor, follow the great soldiers, enter the Forbidden City, and castrate that bird!" Tongzhi becomes gay! ”

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Li Fuming's slap shook the barbecue on Ivana's fork, and she said dissatisfiedly, "It's a shame that you are still studying medicine, you can say such things without common sense, be careful to let Gonggong Li hear a slap to kill you!" Besides, you think about how the little stone feels......"

"This ...... What's the situation with Brother Shi......" Li Jingfang asked weakly.

"Well, don't ask......" Ivana advised.

"It doesn't matter."

Shi Dingzhong shook his head and said calmly, "My father, Shi Dakai, died by more than 3,000 blades of Qing Lingchi, and I am proud of him. By the way, brother, what is your surname, and where is your origin? ”

"I ...... My surname is indeed Sha! ”

Li Jingfang hurriedly sat upright and said categorically, "The contemptible person is called Sha Jingfang, a person from Anhui, who is not familiar with the Li family in Dongxiang at all, and has nothing to do with it, and there may be a little mistake in the previous roster......

……

In this way, the first batch of full-time students officially enrolled by the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences, that is, Guozijian, began a new life and life.

Just like the old three classes after the resumption of the high school entrance examination at the end of the sixties, the age gap between the students enrolled in this period and even in many future periods of Guozijian is very large, and there are even cases like Shi Dingzhong and Ivana.

This is also a matter of no way, after all, if you want to build a perfect junior high school and transfer talents upward, it is impossible to complete it without ten years of work.

In this era, even in Europe, civilian education is just the imagination of some utopians.

Prussia, which relied on the pulpit of primary schools to achieve national rejuvenation, is only beginning to emerge.

In the past two days, Zhu Fugui was a little free, hiding in the Fugui Palace to drink tea and read the newspapers, and the most international news he saw was the Pudan-Pudan.

War is the eternal melody of this world, and in the 2020s, it is difficult for Chinese who have not experienced war for thirty or forty years to imagine that there is no year in this world without war.

And in the 1860s, wars were much more frequent.

In addition to the civil war in América, the Taiping army in the Qing Dynasty was still surviving, and the other two more important wars in the world took place at both ends of the old world.

To the west, there was the Prussian-Danish War.

Prussia, which initially united North Germany, declared war on Denmark and sought to annex the Duchy of Schleswig and Holstein.

These two principalities have historically been Danish vassals, but a significant proportion of the inhabitants are Germans.

Under Bismarck's diplomatic instigation, Austria, the leader of the German Confederation, also entered the war.

Eventually, after eight months of fierce fighting, the German-Austrian alliance won, capturing each of the two principalities and driving the Danes out of southern Jutland entirely.

In this war, the new Prussia showed great military power and attracted the attention of the world.

A year later, the Prussians would defeat Austria, dissolve the German Confederation, and form their own dominant North German Confederation, the prototype of Germany.

Then came the well-known Franco-Prussian War six years later, in which Prussia became the world's top power.

Unlike the exuberant Germans, the war on the easternmost island of the Old Continent was a bit of a child's play.

In the Prussian-Danish War, telegraphs and railroad troops were already used, and the Battle of Choshu that took place at the same time had not even fast-forwarded to the "last samurai"!

But the excitement of a war is not necessarily related to the level of both sides, as long as the strength is close, the rookies pecking each other are also quite exciting.

In August, the Tokugawa Shogun ordered Tokugawa Keishi, the former lord of the Owari domain, to serve as the governor of the expedition and to lead the troops of the 21 feudal domains in the southwestern Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu regions.

Tokugawa Keikatsu knew by his name that he was a relative of Tokugawa Yoshiki, and the Owari Domain, which was also one of the three imperial families, faithfully carried out the will of the shogunate and organized a large army to storm the Choshu Domain.

Previously, the two big victories had already made Tokugawa Keikatsu let his guard down, and in his opinion, in the face of absolute strength, it was only a matter of time before the Maori family pleaded guilty.

However......

Nagusa, Mitani, Watagawa, and Nagato, the coalition forces broke through the strongholds that the Choshu Domain had painstakingly managed, and finally arrived at Shinome.

As long as this area is breached, then Yamaguchi Castle, the domain town of the Choshu Domain, will be directly exposed to the blade of the Choshu Domain's coalition forces.

Since the 10,000-year-old period, Japan has not been good at artillery, and the shogunate army has continued the glorious tradition of their ancestors, and there is no artillery at all in the entire ranks, except for two small earthen cannons drawn by short horses.

Samurai and ashigaru remained the most dominant combat units.

Samurai swords, scarves at their waists, new shackles, and occasional small horses, headed south along the riverbank.

The so-called new type of firearm is a type of firearm produced by a firearm workshop built by the French at the expense of the shogunate.

"New" is its characteristic, and "small" is its greater characteristic.

To put it simply, this thing may not be able to ensure armor breaking when it hits the Nanban carcass.

In fact, until the 1877 rebellion in the southwest of Saigo Takamori, seven years after the issuance of the "Abolition of the Sword Order", the katana remained the most trusted weapon of many Japanese soldiers.

Otherwise, there would be no story of a sword-drawing team organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the rebels slashing each other with knives.

Mori Kei personally wore the latest green "American-style military uniform" and looked at the slowly approaching shogunate troops with disdain.

He smiled at the Uemon beside him: "These fools don't know that the times have changed, do they think that they have already won the victory after defeating the old man's four teams, including the Imperial Rice Team, the Nanyuan Team, the Wandering Team, and the Punishment Team?" ”

After sneering for a while, Mori Kei saw that the time was ripe, and finally confirmed, "Are the monks of Akama Shrine ready?" ”

"Lord Domain, please rest assured, the artifacts rewarded by the Ming Imperial Court are all available, and they have all been checked repeatedly!"

"Good! The order goes down, and the Jiyi team, the Hachiman team, the reward team, the Ogino team, the wrestler team, the loyal indignation team, and the guard team all attack on the whole line, and these shogunate eagle dogs must be held back! ”

"Hey!"

……

The rumbling sound of earthen cannons sounded, and immediately afterward, a large number of samurai, death squads, and ashigaru of the Choshu Domain swooped down from the slopes on both sides as if they were dying, which startled Tokugawa Keikatsu.

Soon, though, he regained his composure.

"I didn't expect the Maori family to be at war with the foreign lord for so long and have such a background, it is worthy of being the first strong clan in the southwest, but that's all it takes, Maori Jingqin pressed all the hole cards on the Shinome River, it's really unwise!"

The elite of the shogunate, who had undergone simple training from the French, began to take out the "new type of small guns" and shoot in sections.

Although this small weapon is not commendable in range and power, it plays a good role in the face of unarmored death squads.

With the bang of the gun, many of the feudal soldiers were shot through the chest and fell.

However, the elite of the Shogunate consisted of less than 2,000 of them, less than a tenth of them, so the battlefield soon changed from 19th-century to 15th-century painting.

The two front teams were locked in a strangulation.

Tokugawa Keikatsu ordered: "Cavalry team, detour back to the flank, I'm afraid that the Maori domain will have no reserves this time, so there is no need to wait and see!" ”

Regardless of the era of warfare, reserves are crucial.

But when faced with a desperate fight, it is also a way to play without leaving reserves on the whole line, and Tokugawa Keikatsu feels that this is the case with the Choshu Domain.

Even if it's not, it doesn't matter.

Because none of the 2,000 shogunate elites in Tokugawa Keikatsu Town have yet to move.

It was only natural to try to let the other soldiers in the coalition fight first and retain the power of the shogunate and the imperial family, and the daimyo lords knew it.

"This time, the Southwest Domain has been hit hard, and I'm afraid no one in the whole of Japan will dare to mention the matter of honoring the king, hahaha!"

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Keikatsu couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, "Who dares to respect the king?" My Tokugawa family is invincible in the world! ”

"Amitabha!"

However, at this moment, a loud Buddha horn that did not resemble a human voice resounded throughout the audience.

It was the priests and monks of the Akama Shrine, using the artifact provided by the Ming Dynasty, the loudspeaker, and began to preach: "The Emperor of the Great Tomorrow of the South has come to the world, and all the sufferings in the world have been swept away, and all the demons in the world have been swept away......"

"The Great Emperor? What is this thing? ”

Tokugawa Keikatsu hadn't yet figured out what was going on, but at this time, about 600 strange men wearing green tights, holding Henry guns, and pot lids suddenly charged straight towards the shogunate's main town with the Buddha horn.

At the same time, unlike the previous earthen cannons, Napoleon's cannons, which were also considered heavy weapons in the early stage of the Civil War, roared, and the 10-pound iron ball swept towards the shogunate like an extraterrestrial meteorite.

Fortunately, the gunners of the Choshu Domain were really pulling their hips, and only 2 of the 10 cannons hit the town, but they caused huge casualties and disrupted the formation.

However, the second round of shelling was delayed due to the unskilled gunners.

But it doesn't matter, a tall and powerful man in green tights has already taken the lead in the front of the battle: "The captain of the Wonder Soldier Team, Takasugi Jinsaku!" ”

The Odd Soldier Team is an imitation Western-style army formed by the Choshu Domain in the Shimonoseki War, commanded by the fierce general Takasugi Shinsaku, which is one of the hole cards in the Choshu Domain.

Now with the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Odd Soldiers have changed their guns and turned into the strongest Japanese army with combat strength close to the red-necked militia.

However, after all, the odd army did not have an advantage in numbers, and it was impossible to break through the shogunate's main town for a while, but at this time, a scene of completely destroying the shogunate's combat belief appeared.

I saw that under the cover of the Strange Soldiers, suddenly a strange samurai team rushed out with a katana.

"Foreign ...... Ocean...... Person! ”

Tokugawa Keikatsu looked at the sorcerers in surprise, who were clearly Westerners with high noses and deep eyes.

At this moment, he forgot to even swing the knife, and he also forgot that Lord Yang can actually slash in two sections!

"Retreat - retreat quickly, the Changzhou Domain has taken refuge with foreigners, run!"

Tokugawa Keikatsu jumped on a bantam horse, and under the protection of his own soldiers, he seized the road and galloped towards the north, like a stone to see the Manchurian army.

……

1 hour later.

"Hmph, how can the old man take refuge in foreigners!"

Maori looked at Tokugawa Keikatsu, who was tied up and thrown on the ground, and snorted coldly.

The Choshu Domain, which had purchased some fast horses from the Ming Dynasty, easily captured Tokugawa Yoshikatsu, who was riding a bantam horse (fast horses were hard to raise, and many died, but eventually some survived).

Tokugawa Keikatsu said resentfully, "You...... If you don't take refuge in foreigners, where did you get so many foreigners, samurai and foreign guns? And what are you wearing? ”

"Phew! This is all a reward from the Great Emperor of Tomorrow! ”

"What the hell is the Great Emperor of the Great Tomorrow?"

"That's not what you should know, come here, lock him up, and write a letter to the old Tokugawa dog, if you don't have two thousand Mihime, you can't exchange this fool back."

……

Tokugawa Keikatsu was imprisoned, and Mori had the Odd Soldiers collect the captives, and all the seriously injured were executed, and the rest were all handed over to the monks of Akama Shrine.

If it can't be done, let the shogunate redeem it, and the three women will be exchanged for a young man, and the Tokugawa shogunate will agree.

Seeing Maori's arrangement, Uemon couldn't help but whisper, "Lord Domain, are you sure you want to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty?" That Ming is far away in the sky, and we have the Xiaguan in our hands, there is a sea trade that is making money every day, and there are new ordnance enough to arm 2,000 people, and it is even possible to exchange for more in the future...... Are you really willing to be a servant? ”

"The emperor has let the feudal lords respect them for a thousand years, let alone the great tomorrow?"

Maori smiled wryly, "And...... Patriarch, look at this......"

Mori took out a close-fitting letter from her bosom.

This letter is that he is not willing to put it elsewhere even after changing his tights, which is enough to show its importance.

Uemon solemnly took out the letter and looked at it carefully.

This is exactly the secret letter sent back by the female ninja Kitagawa Keiko in the name of a family letter.

This secret letter is coded with the "Tale of Genji" and written in a one-to-one correspondence.

This kind of rudimentary password secret letter is no different from running naked in front of Yin Weasel, who scored 85 points in "Cryptography".

The letter that Maori and others saw was the letter of Kitagawa Keiko after Jinyiwei's processing.

"Daming sits on 400,000 square kilometers of land, has more than 30 large and small cities, a population of millions, and thousands of warships, just like the ironclad tanks in the photo, there are also thousands."

"The ironclad tank traveled thousands of miles a day, and the machine guns and projectiles were shattered everywhere, and the rocks were cracked. If the feudal lord and the Ming Dynasty are enemies, it will be like a firefly competing with the sun and the moon, and if the Ming wants to destroy Japan, only three weeks will be enough! ”

After reading these words and looking at the photos of the tank and the building attached to the letter, Emon was shocked and silent for a long time.

Finally, after 10 minutes of silence, Uemon took a book from his bosom.

"Have you ever read this book?"

"Detective Zhuge Watson"? Naturally, I've read it, what do you mean, clan elder? ”

It is said that this book was written by His Majesty Zhu Fugui, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the protagonist of the book is named Zhuge Huasheng...... Zhuge people, take the word 'Zhu', the Chinese are expensive, and the living are rich! Therefore, Zhuge Huasheng is Zhu Fugui's pseudonym! ”

"This ...... It seems to be exactly that, but so what? ”

"Lord, you are confused! What is Zhuge Watson's woman's surname? What is the name of your young daughter, Lord Lord? ”

"Huh? Do you say ......"

Maori Jingqin looked at his most confidant clan elder in shock, and finally the two nodded in unison tacitly, "Yo Xi! ”
