Great time travel

Volume [-], The Great Chaos in the Late Ming Dynasty
Foreword, Those Travelers who went on and on——The background setting timetable of the "Great Chaos in the Late Ming Dynasty" (1618-1631)

In the first month of the 46th year of Wanli (1618), Huangshi, one of the members of the Lingao Traveling Group, had an accident while traveling through the wormhole. Unfortunately, he fell into the sea from the "Holy Ship" Fengcheng and landed in Liaodong ahead of time with the sound of explosions. , was taken in by a family in Liuhe, Guangning (the plot of "Stealing the Light").

In the 48th year of Wanli (1620), the North American crossing group took the entire port to Manhattan Island, New York, and then captured the famous "Mayflower" in history, and married the local Indian tribe "Delaware". The situation has been opened up, and the establishment of China and the United States has begun.

In the same year, the "Yunsheng No. 1620" passenger and cargo ship that originally sailed on the Yangtze River traveled to the Atlantic coast of Uruguay in South America and established the East Coast Company (in order to be consistent with "New World 1630", it is compared to the original "The Rise of South America through [-]" is ten years ahead of schedule).

A few years later, the two groups of traversers, the North and the South, came into contact with and communicated with each other. Although they were very afraid of each other, no armed conflict broke out immediately after all. The side of Laoshi's expedition is almost certain to lose: between Huamei and Dongan Company, there are a total of [-] kilometers of ocean and land, which is roughly equivalent to twice the distance from Hainan Island to Mohe, Heilongjiang.However, the strengths of the two major groups are almost the same (the East Shore Company is slightly weaker), and neither can incorporate the other, so they have to develop "good-neighborly and friendly relations" in the end.

However, in 1628, in order to compete for the South African colony—to be precise, it was a relay station for recruiting Ming Dynasty immigrants from America to the homeland of the East. After all, an armed conflict broke out between the two sides. The South American group was defeated and frustrated, but finally ended in peace talks.Huamei obtained the territory of South Africa, but the port must also be open to the South American group, and South American people were also inserted in the colonial government, similar to the public concession in Shanghai in the Republic of China.Afterwards, both sides began to plan long-distance voyages to the homeland of Ming Dynasty, but as of this year, neither of the two major transmigrating forces in the Americas had discovered the existence of other transmigrators.

In the second year of Tianqi (1622), Huangshi beheaded the rebel general Sun Degong, put down the Guangning rebellion, and immediately laid the foundation of Changsheng Island, embarking on the road of a generation of famous generals.

In the third year of Apocalypse (1623), Huangshi cooperated with Zhang Pan to win the Battle of Lushun, sweeping thousands of troops like a sweeping mat, and the name of the fire rescue camp first appeared in the world.

In the fourth year of Tianqi (1624), Zhang Wei traveled across the coast of Fujian and joined Zheng Zhilong (the plot of "The Dragon of the Great Han") to help him expand his sea power.

In the same year, Huangshi combined with the western military formation and He Dingyuan's family stunts to train a well-disciplined spear formation.In Jinzhou, with 400 spears against more than 600 cavalry, he created a miracle of one death and four injuries, beheading 460 seven cavalry, and became a star figure on the Liaodong battlefield for a while.Later, Sun Chengzong came to Changsheng Island and gave Changsheng Island a lot of iron armor support. Wei Zhongxian also allocated iron armor from the eunuch system to support Huangshi's army.

In the first month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625), during the Battle of Nanguan, Huangshi's fire battalion defeated the main force of Houjin in one fell swoop, and Houjin truly regarded it as an enemy.In June, Huangshi won the battle of Fuzhou. After being ambushed by the trick, Huangshi still defeated the [-] Niulu Houjin army alone, and became the nightmare of the Jurchens ever since.

On the other hand, after accumulating some money, Zhang Wei took Shi Lang and others to leave the Zheng Zhilong Group to reclaim Taiwan and lay a foundation.

In August, Huang Shi went to Beijing to meet the emperor, and won the favor and trust of the emperor and Wei Zhongxian, as well as the unanimous praise of scholars and folks.In December, Huangshi sent his troops across the sea to rescue Juehua Island, which was attacked by the Houjin army, and won another big victory.At the same time, Yuan Chonghuan also defended Ningyuan City adjacent to Juehua Island.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), in August, Huangshi jumped on a horse in Liaoyang, and killed the enemy chief Nurhachi alone (in fact, he pinpointed his death time in history), causing a sensation in the world, becoming a generation of legends, and a thorn in the eyes of civil officials— —Suppressing generals has become the basic national policy of the court in the late Ming Dynasty.

Due to the compromise between Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party, in the fall of that year, Huangshi was forced to leave Liaodong, move the town south to Fujian, and prepare to send troops to quell the She'an Rebellion in the southwest.Before leaving, Huangshi borrowed a large amount of "Pingman large loan" from Shandong businessmen. Through the Maori family envoy Shou Sui Xinji, he established a relatively stable relationship with the Maori family of the Changzhou Domain in Japan, allowing the Maori family to underwrite Huangshi in the Japanese market. The copper coins minted by oneself share the huge profits.As a result, the relationship between the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo and Choshu deteriorated, and the "War of Seicho" broke out in the following year.Although the number of old shogunate troops is large, they have been in peace for a long time. They can't break through the modern bastion at all, and they can't match the Changzhou new army trained by Huangshi.

(The original plot line of "Stealing the Light" ends here, and the next Huangshi will degenerate in pain and embark on a completely different path.)
In December, Huang Shi arrived in Xiapu, Fujian's Funing Guard garrison, and successfully gained a foothold. However, his follow-up troop transport fleet was attacked by pirates, and there were quite a few casualties.At the same time, he noticed that Zheng Zhilong's power seems to be stronger than in history, entrenched in Gulangyu, Zhongzuo, and rampant in southern Fujian, and Taiwan has a group of Zhang Wei's "local bandits" with strange origins.In view of the above-mentioned changes in the situation in Fujian, Xiapu, the new base camp, seemed not stable enough. Although Huangshi began to collect supplies in Xiapu as soon as it landed, it was afraid that it would lose its old nest after the expedition, and it was uncertain whether to send troops to the southwest immediately.

In January of the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), Zheng Zhilong launched an attack on southern Fujian in advance. The Fujian navy was destroyed, veteran Yu Zigao was defeated and committed suicide, Quanzhou, Haicheng and other places fell, and the entire Ming army collapsed.The Fujian government begged Huangshi not to make an expedition, but to organize defenses on the spot.

In February, the first space-time gate of Lingaozhong was opened in the mansion of the Gao family in Guangzhou, and a large number of various modern small commodities began to flow to the market in the late Ming Dynasty.

In March, when he learned that the Fujian government wanted Huangshi, the No. 1 general in the world, to attack him, Zheng Zhilong, who had inflated his self-confidence because of the victory in southern Fujian, simply acted first and ordered the fleet to move northward to attack Xiapu.Huangshi led the fire fighting battalion to defeat the enemy in one battle, and easily won the great victory in the defense of Xiapu.However, Funingwei's stockpiled materials also suffered heavy losses, and the Southwest Expedition completely fell through. The imperial court ordered Huangshi to focus on coastal defense in Fujian and put aside the Southwest Expedition.

In April, some of the modern goods that flowed into the Guangdong market arrived in the hands of Huangshi and Zhang Wei via merchant ships. The two were terrified for a while, and they wrote letters to each other to test the source of the goods.After initially ascertaining the source of the commodity, Taiwan’s Zhang Wei, who was “outside the system,” was still at a loss, while Huang Shi, a member of the Lingao Group, fell into great hesitation and struggle (before he came to the end of the Ming Dynasty, I already know the sales process of Lingaozhong’s early crossings and the general types of goods-the long-awaited future companions finally came, what should I do?).

At the same time, Chen Xin and Liu Min traveled to the Jizhou area, and then went to Tianjin to try to establish a foundation ("Late Ming" opening).And other sporadic traversers, after the wheel of history slowly entered the Chongzhen era, appeared one after another on this land of war-torn China.

In the summer, Huangshi bit the bullet and started a battle with Zheng Zhilong. Thousands of Funing troops easily swept across the counties in southern Fujian, and Zheng's army was helpless on land.However, due to the lack of navy and naval combat talents, Huangshi can only look at the sea and sigh for Zheng Zhilong who is guarding Xiamen, Kinmen and Penghu islands.In desperation, Huang Shi and Zhang Wei met in secret, revealing that there was backing from the Traveling Group behind him, and tried to form a military alliance with Zhang Wei.However, Huangshi's sea power was difficult to form for a while-although he was already working hard to build ships, Taiwan's local tyrant Zhang Wei didn't own many warships, and he had doubts about Huangshi's integrity. The battle in Fujian was still deadlocked. Invincible, but ultimately unable to wipe out the sea group headed by Zheng Zhilong.Then, on August 22, Emperor Zhu Youxiao died.On the sixth day of November, Wei Zhongxian hanged himself in Fucheng.Huangshi's political backing collapsed, and the Donglin Party quickly occupied the court and began to liquidate the remnants of the Eunuch Party.Although Sun Chengzong and other personnel were there to protect Huangshi, unfortunately Huangshi was among the targets of attack.Chen Xin started his business by yelling at the eunuchs, rose to fame, and won the foundation of Wendengying. At the same time, he began to inquire about the details of Huangshi, a famous general who did not exist in history.

In the first half of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Huang Shi was demoted to the deputy general of Fujian North Road on charges of "ineffective work" and "attachment to the eunuch party". Thanks to the good words of Sun Chengzong and a group of Shilin fans, this situation did not fall into a worse situation.

However, it was difficult to repay the large amount of military expenses borrowed from Shandong businessmen (Pingman large loans). The Fujian government refused to advance the payment. The Funing Army plundered the gentry in southern Fujian (the government did not provide food or military pay, and the army could not survive without eating big households).

Next, Xiong Wencan became the governor of Fujian, trying to recruit Zheng Zhilong's maritime merchant/pirate group.In order to please Zheng Zhilong, and also to flatter the Donglin Party in power, Xiong Wencan began to further suppress Huangshi, the "remnant of the eunuch party". Huangshi had no choice but to arrange for them to flee to Zhang Wei's territory in Taiwan to temporarily avoid the limelight.

During the difficult wait, on September [-]st, Lingaozhong's "sacred ship" Fengcheng finally arrived in this world, and Huangshi was found missing at the same time.But he didn't know that there were already spies from Huangshi in Lingao County.At the end of the year, Huang Shi, who heard the news, sent a secret envoy from Fujian to Lingao to send a letter to complain about his grievances. Soon the envoy of Zhang Wei from Taiwan also came to Lingao.But at this point in time, the power of the three parties is extremely limited for the time being, and mutual trust is also a problem, and the situation cannot be reversed quickly, but it has finally delayed the time for Zheng Zhilong to be recruited.After some bargaining, Zhang Wei won the title of veteran in Lingao, and Comrade Huang Shi, who worked hard and had a great army, became one of the "executive committee members" of Lingao (long-term assignment, basically just a title).

In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), Huang Taiji sent his troops to break through and swept through Gyeonggi. Due to Huangshi's advanced tactics honed for several years before, and Yuan Chonghuan's wanton collusion with the enemy and traitorous country (the plot setting of "Stealing the Ming"), the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army Far stronger than in history, with the full cooperation of Neiying Yuan Chonghuan, Huang Taiji almost broke through Beijing at one point.Although the Hou Jin army failed to break through the city in the end, the losses of the Ming Dynasty were far heavier than in history. The entire Hebei was completely corrupted, and a large number of troops mutinied, collapsed or were annihilated.However, Chen Xin's Wendeng camp performed brilliantly in the final counterattack, and was awarded and praised by Emperor Chongzhen.But because the history of this world has long been disturbed by Huangshi, Chen Xin's performance has not attracted the attention of the southern travelers for the time being.

In the spring of the same year, Zheng Zhilong's pirate/maritime group was finally appeased by Xiong Wencan despite repeated troubles and delays from the traversers. Zheng Zhilong became a "coastal defense guerrilla" and returned to his hometown in southern Fujian wearing official uniforms. Yellowstone in the north is eyeing.

On the other hand, Huangshi barely paid off the "big flat loan" by relying on the modern industrial products funded by Lingao, but Xiong Wencan took the opportunity to impeach him for "collusion with pirates" and attempted to be imprisoned.Fortunately, after the arrest of Yuan Chonghuan, Emperor Chongzhen regretted that he had allowed Yuan Chonghuan to violate the law and kill Mao Wenlong without authorization, so he temporarily suppressed the impeachment of Huangshi by the Fujian authorities.And Xiong Wencan did not have the courage to destroy the system and kill the general without authorization like Yuan Chonghuan, which allowed Huangshi to escape for the time being.But on the other hand, Emperor Chongzhen, who was desperate for face, also had no plans to use Huangshi again.

Since then, the Fujian government has given preferential treatment to Zheng Zhilong and other defected pirates, constantly insulting and harshly treating Huangshi's subordinates. It is only thanks to the secret blood transfusion from Taiwan's Zhang Wei and Lingao that the Funing Army will not collapse. No more nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty, and began to send some of his soldiers to Lingao to assist the Senate in its great cause of conquest.And the bullied Funing army was also filled with righteous indignation towards the ungrateful Fujian authorities who recognized their thieves as their father (too much favor and win over Zheng Zhilong, and used these pirates to deal with Huangshi), and their loyalty to Daming was basically wiped out.

With Huangshi, the super-large leading party in the Ming Dynasty system, the expansion momentum of Lingao Travelers was even more powerful, and various markets were opened one after another.Pirates from all walks of life were wiped out one after another. At the same time, Huang Shi and Zhang Wei's private forces were gradually integrated into the Lingao Senate system.

In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), the Guangdong government sent troops across the sea to crusade against Qiongzhou's "Kun bandits (short-haired bandits)". The whole territory of Hainan Island changed hands.Immediately afterwards, a large number of Kun bandit troops counterattacked into Guangzhou and swept across the Pearl River Delta. After obtaining some practical benefits such as trade, they retreated and separatized Hong Kong as their base.Immediately after taking advantage of the victory, they continued to surprise Xiamen and Quanzhou, joined forces with Zhang Wei and Shi Lang's Taiwanese army, smashed the Zheng family's soldiers and horses entrenched in southern Fujian, and beheaded Zheng Zhilong's family.

Next, Huang Shi led the Funing Army to pretend to go south to rescue, but actually strangled the remnants of Zheng's army in an attempt to dominate Fujian, so there was a fierce conflict with Fujian governor Xiong Wencan.But relying on the absolute superiority of force and the fact that the Zheng family has been destroyed, Huang Shi finally reached a compromise with Xiong Wencan, and jointly fooled the court——Huang Shi was promoted to the Fujian General Soldier because of his "military exploits", and Xiong Wencan moved to be the governor of Guangdong, Guangxi and Guangdong. The mess after that.

The new governor of Fujian, Zou Weilian, who came to replace Xiong Wencan, under pressure from all sides, had no choice but to admit the reality of Huangshi's separatism.

So far, Huangshi has completely torn off the painted skin of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and completed the transformation of the warlord of the feudal town.The Funing Army also basically joined the Senate system and became the vanguard of aggression under the official skin of the Ming Dynasty.But even so, Huangshi consciously still has a vague sense of alienation from Lingao.

On the other hand, after the initial pacification of Fujian and the elimination of all competitors in the Taiwan Strait, the power of the Senate aggressively entered Taiwan, and immediately used force to deter the Dutch, forcing them not to exploit the Han people in Taiwan. However, for the sake of maintaining trade, temporarily The Dutch stronghold was preserved.Zhang Wei's independent forces in Taiwan were incorporated, and he himself enjoyed the treatment of a senior veteran, and moved to Penghu to work. The situation was neither good nor bad.In Taiwan, relying on the foundation and population left by Zhang Wei, the Senate established the colonial base of Kaohsiung City. The influence of "Kun Thief" in southern China has been greatly expanded.

In the spring of the same year, due to the change of history, the Houjin army once again broke through the Great Wall from Xuanda and entered Shanxi.Beijing was once again under siege, and the Ming court was in chaos, and had no intention of paying attention to the chaos in the south.

In the same year, the Traveling Group in Vladivostok appeared and established the Far East Company (the plot of "Far East 1628" began, which was postponed for two years to balance the strength of all parties).By attacking North Korea and Japan, this well-equipped traverser with aircraft and landing ships learned the year at this time, but has not yet noticed the existence of other traversers.Afterwards, he tentatively sailed to Liaodong and took in a group of Liao people. After hearing about Huangshi's deeds, he realized that something was wrong.

At the same time, Comrade Li Wei, his wife Zhao Na and his son Li Zhongren boarded the modern five-masted intelligent sailing galleon "COSCO Star", but failed to reach Dalian. I went to a very strange Polish expedition ship (the plot of "Travel [-]" was advanced, why did the Polish bird feather cavalry come to play the big voyage? This is unscientific!), through these Poles learned that they came to the Seventeenth century.After accepting the reality, the people on board had to bite the bullet and live with the Poles and kangaroos, and landed in northwest Australia to build a settlement.

Soon after, the Australia Group encountered the global expedition fleet of the "East Coast Country" in South America (at this time, it had changed from a company to a formal country), and learned from them the information of the North American Travel Group, and found that the travel in this world It's not just people like themselves.People in the "East Coast Country" said that the North American Group had built radio facilities in the later New York, and the Australian side worked hard to build and arrange a large radio antenna in an attempt to communicate with it.At the end of the year, the radio produced by the Australian Group still failed to contact North America (the "East Coast Country" in South America did not have radio), but it actually contacted Lingao Crossing Group—after all, the distance is much closer , The two groups together erupted a huge shock.

As a result, the pattern of the five largest time-traveling groups confronting each other in the world has basically taken shape, while individual small groups of sporadic time-travelers are still emerging, and among them, Chen Xin and Liu Minyou's Wen Dengying is the most successful And powerful, thus bringing the world into a state of chaos.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631), it seemed that the Houjin Army, which seemed to have had enough loot, finally did not break through the Great Wall again and went south. North Korea still began to plan a counterattack from Liaodong.

In the spring of that year, in order to expand its influence to Japan, the Lingao Senate sent Huangshi under the banner of the Funing Army to cross the sea to conquer Ryukyu, and successfully helped the Shang family of Ryukyu expel the Satsuma warriors who occupied Ryukyu.Then, Huangshi took advantage of his old relationship with the Maori family in the Changzhou domain to unite with the Maori family warriors to form a huge coalition army, successfully launched the Battle of Kagoshima, and defeated the Shimadzu family of the Satsuma domain and their allies helplessly. Allied forces surrendered.

The Changzhou clan of the Maori family took the opportunity to rely on their new army of modernization and began a substantial expansion-in the previous war against Changzhou (the plot of "Stealing the Light"), the Tokugawa shogunate had already been beaten You have to return home in a big defeat.Now the Satsuma clan, the strongest competitor of the Western Kingdom, has been hit hard, and the Changzhou clan has strong foreign aid from the Lingao Senate. Looking at the entire Japanese archipelago, it seems that there is no force that can hinder the rise of the Maori family.

According to the evil tastes of the traversers, after surrendering the Satsuma clan, a "Samo long alliance" began to enter the brewing stage.

At the same time, the powerful fleet of the Vladivostok Far East Company went deep into the Seto Inland Sea, attacked Osaka (Jiezhen), and plundered with the locally recruited Japanese sword-drawing team. After a crushing defeat, they plundered countless goods, food and fodder, and returned with a full load.

When these large iron ships left the Seto Inland Sea through the Kanmon Strait, the smug Changzhou Domain saw this and couldn't help being greatly shocked.

On the other hand, Mr. Hale, a Japanese Christian fanatic in the 21st century, arrived in the Philippines, hoping to get the support of "Spanish Catholics" here, but found that the history of this world has long been beyond recognition.Afterwards, I heard sporadically about various upheavals in Japan, so I began to think about whether to go back to China first to recruit a "Kirichitan" (the name for Christians in Japan) soldiers and horses, and participate in this seemingly high probability of victory.

Although the distance is relatively far away, a series of super-era performances created by Chen Xin in Dengzhou, such as "Wendengxiang" cigarettes, finally attracted the attention of the southern travelers. However, due to the lack of sufficient influence in the north, the Senate, The final solution to the matter has not yet been discussed.

Huangshi used his old relationship with Kong Youde to inquire about Chen Xin's Wendeng Camp situation, and at the same time, he also wanted to prevent this old friend from rebelling and defecting to Tartars as in history.The Lingao Senate sent Daoquanzi Daoist Priest to go north, lurking in the Linyi area in the south of Shandong Province, to observe the inside story of the Dengzhou forces at close range.In the end, the Lingao authorities fell into a great controversy about whether to send envoys to contact, win over and incorporate the traverser forces in Dengzhou, Shandong.

Through the few packs of cigarettes trafficked in, Shanxi Wangdou and others, who had relatively little information, finally discovered the extraordinaryness of this world.

Li Huamei's merchant ship "Hangzhou" encountered the Hua-US Far East Fleet at the port of Goa, India, because her name caused a sensation and great attention among North American travelers.The goods brought by the North American traversers and the military appearance on display reminded the female pirate, formerly named Li Chun, of the Australians in Lingao.

On the other hand, after establishing radio contact with the Australian traversers, the Lingao Senate made emergency dispatches to change the plan of the trading fleet led by Ping Qiusheng, which is currently off the coast of Vietnam, to go to Batavia instead of Thailand. Meet the mind-boggling batch of so-called "real *Australians".

Next, the Lingao Fleet, the South American Fleet, the North American Fleet and the Australian Iron Ship arrived at the Dutch colony in Batavia (Jakarta, Java), which caused a huge commotion—the local Dutch and overseas Chinese Of course it was shaken, but the travelers from all walks of life were also shaken not lightly.The colonists of Western countries keenly discovered the similarities between various Chinese forces, and wrote many reports full of fantasies and speculations.

In the north, the landing ship of the Vladivostok Far East Company went out again to capture Jeju Island in North Korea, and used it as a transit point to recruit refugees from the islands under the Dongjiang Army and form an army. Chen Xin's Wendengying warship discovered the above-mentioned abnormal situation, but But because of the disparity in strength, there is nothing they can do about it.

Due to the recruitment of too many Liao people, the food reserves in Vladivostok and Jeju Island were insufficient. A small team of the Far East Company took a boat to Jiangnan to purchase food and collect intelligence. The state is at an absolute disadvantage.

In the previous spring and summer seasons, Chen Xin led the Wendeng camp across the sea to conquer Mi Island, defeating the Golden Army and winning a very rare victory in recent years.

At the same time, the Guanning Army in western Liaoning also took action, gathering elite main forces to advance to the Daling River to build a city.Huang Taiji immediately led the Eight Banners Army to dispatch all over the country in an attempt to pull out this nail.In autumn, on the battlefield in western Liaoning, the Battle of Dalinghe broke out a period of time later than in history, but Zu Dashou, who was on the defensive side, had far more luggage than in history. lasted longer.

After Mao Wenlong was killed, the Dongjiang Army continued to be attacked and excluded at this time, coupled with the raging natural disasters, fell into a terrible chaos.

Although Dalinghe City has not yet fallen, the Ming army's siege operations on the periphery are still repeatedly frustrated. The outbreak of the chaos seems to have entered the countdown.

At the same time, the Hou Jin general who stayed behind the "rear city" of Ningguta also discovered the Vladivostok Far East Company hundreds of kilometers away. The good thing here, the guard of Ningguta was both worried and coveted. After some weighing, he dispatched the only small number of garrisons in Ningguta, and incited the nearby indigenous tribes to organize a coalition army to attack Vladivostok in an attempt to rob the hoarding there. supplies.Then, the Manchurian warriors lost to modern guns and were defeated by the militiamen who had just been armed by the Far East Company.Next, the angry Vladivostok immediately dispatched the air force to launch a counterattack, bombing Ninguta with napalm incendiary bombs, burning the city to scorched earth.

Huang Taiji, who was supervising the deadly battle on the front line of Dalinghe City, received the bad news from Ninggu Pagoda, and found out that Houjin was under the enemy at some point, and couldn't help but feel a headache.Fortunately, his old opponent, the Dongjiang Army, is now in an even worse situation, and may soon collapse amidst famine and riots.

After Huangshi triumphantly returned to Fujian from Japan, he heard of the famine situation in the former Dongjiang Army.However, some members of the Senate pointed out that "the current attitude of the Dengzhou traversers is unclear, and it is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes."

Afterwards, Lingao learned the news that the other crossing groups had dispatched fleets, and immediately felt as if they were facing a big enemy, and no longer cared about the affairs of Liaodong and Japan. The plan to go north had to be shelved. The No. [-] ship carried out a reconnaissance mission going north.Therefore, the grief-stricken Huangshi held the idea that "it is one to save an old friend", and personally led an elite guard team to go north on the Haitian, but met the fleet of the Vladivostok Far East Company on Jeju Island, and found many people wearing clothes here. The old acquaintance of Russian military uniforms in Liaodong immediately made Huangshi feel very embarrassing.

At the same time, after an almost mind-shattering "Great Gathering of the Batavia Crossing Fleet", the combined fleets of North America, South America, and Australia headed to Lingao under the leadership of the Lingao Merchant Ship, preparing to hold a global crossing Proximity to the summit, try to coordinate the conflicts of interest among the various time-traveling groups, avoid unnecessary internal friction, and discuss a reasonable and mutually beneficial cooperation plan. It is best to create a grand alliance of time-travelers similar to the European Union.

The Lingao Senate knew that diplomacy must be backed by force, so the Lingao Fleet, which was originally scattered in Fujian, Taiwan, Ryukyu and other places, was urgently transferred back to the headquarters, and was prepared to be used in the long-distance Huamei (North America) and the East Coast. China (South America) and the "True *Australia" fleet showed their might and strength.

When this huge fleet passed through Macau to frighten the Portuguese and supplement fresh water, fruits and vegetables by the way, the newcomers who came from infinite space reincarnated went to Macau as usual to collect 15 taels of "land rent silver" per year. Xiangshan county magistrate (located in the Pearl River In theory, Macau is also in Xiangshan County) Liu Chaozuo saw it.Therefore, the magistrate of the reincarnated person who became a newcomer through the reincarnation tool was immediately dazed by the invalid watch of the main god and the world of the late Ming Dynasty where demons danced wildly. Go up and show your identity?Or is it better to continue lurking?

Then, Wang Qiu and his chengguan canine tooth international column finally stepped into this time and space at the end of Ming Dynasty, which was caught in unprecedented chaos...

Miscellaneous feelings: When I read "Stealing the Light" back then, I deeply felt a sense of heroism on the paper, and I couldn't help but applaud it.Lord Gray Panda's portrayal of the character of Huangshi, especially the description of his mental journey of gradual changes in his inner thoughts, is even more lifelike.But for some reason, I always felt that there seemed to be a hero who was very similar to him in history. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of it no matter how much I thought about it, so I had to temporarily suppress this doubt in my heart.

It wasn't until I watched the Korean movie "Mingliang Sea Battle" this year that I suddenly realized - Yi Sun-shin!This Korean national hero is simply the prototype of Huangshi!

As we all know, modern Koreans have a tendency to brag about their own historical figures, and they often elevate them to some outrageous heights, which makes China and Japan laugh at them.But only the name Yi Sun-sin left the Chinese and Japanese speechless.

Just like Huangshi in "Stealing Mystery", Yi Sun-shin in the Imjin War was also a man who performed miracles - he defeated Todo Takatora with almost zero casualties in Okpo, and was in pain with crane wings on Hansando Island. The glorious victories of Yoshitaka and Wakiba Yasuji, the big and small naval battles, made the Japanese Sengoku daimyo fearful and afraid to fight with them. Even Emperor Goyosei feared that Toyotomi Hideyoshi would fail to cross the sea and issued an edict to stop his relatives. Go to North Korea.

——In the case of the entire territory of North Korea falling, Yi sun-shin actually relied on his own strength to fight on par with the Japanese naval forces, thus slowing down the Japanese army's invasion and forcibly fighting for North Korea from a desperate situation found a way out, and persisted until the arrival of Ming Dynasty reinforcements (if North Korea’s performance is so bad that it makes people desperate, the Ming army will probably stop at the border, then Toyotomi Hideyoshi may really swallow North Korea. ), his genius and fear are really breathtaking... It is a pity that his victories were wasted and trampled by the fatuous and corrupt court.

In general, Huangshi in "Stealing Mystery" is a tragic figure similar to the famous North Korean general Yi Sun-shin, no matter from the perspective of personal fortune, career ups and downs, battlefield experience, or from the perspective of macro strategy, national and national prospects, etc.: The same is defending the family and defending the country, the same invincibility, the same righteousness, the same ups and downs, the same makes the enemy fearful, and the same has been recommended and promoted by exception (Huang Shi was appreciated by Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian, Li Shunchen was admired by Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian when he was young) My friend, recommended by Liu Chenglong, the important minister of North Korea), also played triumphant songs on the secondary battlefield, but was offset by the pig teammates on the main battlefield, and was also extremely aggrieved by his own people, but in the end he was asked to come out to clean up the mess—— ——As Huang Shi sighed in "Stealing the Light": "I am just a military officer, and I can try my best to fight everywhere. I can dig out the sores on the body of the empire one after another, but I can't do my best." That's all. Countless corrupt officials are like moths, they are stealing the foundation of the country. They have made the motherland full of holes."

In the article "Stealing the Ming", it was once written: "Da Ming is sick, very sick".And during the Imjin War, was it not the case in the Joseon Kingdom where Yi Sun-shin was located?The same emphasis on civil affairs over military, the same corruption and incompetence, the same traitors everywhere, and the same partisan struggle to the point of madness.

Behind Li Sunshin is a decadent imperial court, surrounded by a group of pig teammates who are jealous and can't help, but in front of him is an unprecedentedly tough and powerful Japanese pirate. Although he has won brilliant victories in naval battles time and time again, he cannot save the land ravaged by the Japanese invaders after all. And the people—due to the particularity of the Tsushima Strait, the flow from Japan to North Korea is smooth, and the flow from North Korea to Japan is against the wind. In that era when navigation technology was backward, even if the North Korean navy had control of the sea, facing Pusan— Japanese transport ships on the Tsushima route are often unable to catch up or block them.If you want to conquer Tsushima Island and cut off the Japanese army's transportation hub, it is beyond Yi sun-shin's ability: Even when he was at his strongest, the number of warships was not as good as that of the Japanese army. .Moreover, the marine troops under his command are too small, and it may not be possible to capture the Japanese castle.

Even so, in order to complete the battle, Yi sun-shin still launched the Battle of Pusan ​​in an attempt to recapture this key port, cut off the supply line of the Japanese army in North Korea, and put 20 Japanese pirates to death, but ultimately failed. It fully verified Nelson's famous saying that "warships can't shoot at turrets" in the future-so, his victory will always be a tactical victory, and it will not change the passive overall battle situation.Just as Huangshi in "Stealing the Light" has achieved many miraculous victories, he is still far away from the ultimate goal of regaining Liaodong and annihilating Jiannu.

What's more, even though he was never afraid of any powerful enemy on the ocean, and the Japanese army on the opposite side was terrified to the bone, no matter how many tactical victories he won, Yi sun-shin could not change this country that was rotten to the bone. Can't escape the backstabbing: During the party struggle, he was abandoned by his political backer—at that time Li Sunshin had a conflict with Yoo Sung-ryong, who promoted him, because the other party couldn't change the bad habit of "regarding literature and military as a servant"—he was abandoned The Japanese pirates conspired with their political opponents to get imprisoned, tortured and bruised all over their bodies. What the Japanese pirates failed to do, the jailers of the imperial court did.

Next, the powerful fleet he had painstakingly built was ruined, but in the end he was asked to use the remaining dozen ships to fight against the three hundred Japanese ships.What's even more frightening is that the orders from the higher authorities were still being changed day and night, and he was suddenly asked to abandon the ship and land, and he was not provided with supplies and supplies necessary for naval warfare. The Liaodong battle was pushed into the abyss again with ease by Yuan Chonghuan.

In the movie "Mingliang Sea Battle", the various desperate situations Li sun-shin faced were basically not exaggerated compared with the historical facts--Todo Takatora, Kuki Yoshitaka, Kurishima Tsutsuo, Wakiita Yasuji, Kato Yoshiaki, Shimadzu Yoshihiro, Zong Yizhi, these old opponents, have set up a mighty fleet in front of him, ready to go to Beijing to capture the king in one fell swoop, but the cowardly and incompetent Korean king would rather flee in the dust again than agree with Li sun-shin's attack. Marshal Quan Li, who started the fierce battle, persuaded Yi Sun-shin to lead the rest of the navy into the army to resist the enemy on land. Even among his subordinates, fear was already pervasive. There were reports of soldiers fleeing every day, and even worse , as the commander of the Jeolla-do Navy, Pei Wei escaped before the battle...

Pei Wei in the movie "Ming Liang Sea Battle" even set fire to a newly built turtle ship before escaping - this is the last turtle ship!Those sailors who were planning to fight to the death with the Japanese army could barely see a glimmer of victory on this turtle ship, but now even this faint ray of dawn is gone.The entire North Korean army and the whole country seem to be persuading Yi Sun-shin to abandon the ship and avoid the war...

At this time, Li Sunshin seemed to be an enemy of the whole world. In the loneliest desperate situation, he launched a desperate struggle of the most ruthless man!

He almost coaxed, lied and threatened, relying on his personal prestige to barely let the team disperse.During the battle, the rest of the ships hid behind, and he himself was forced to lead the flagship to ride a thousand horses and play Rambo as a guest. It was all written in his "Diary of Chaos". .

Historically, after the Battle of Mingliang, Li Sunshin also relied on donations from the gentry and rewards from the Ming Emperor to maintain the navy (Emperor Wanli directly gave him a few turtle boats). People trip him up, just like Huang Shi in "Stealing the Light" fights for the imperial court, but he has to arrange the "Pingman Big Loan" and "Jinghai Big Loan" by himself, and he has to be impeached.If it is the army, there may be a possibility of wanting to take advantage of the chaos and become a warlord.But as a navy, Yi sun-shin can persist in such a sad situation, probably only out of patriotism.

In the war against the Japanese pirates, Yi sun-shin lost his old mother and one son. The other son, who appeared in the movie "Mingliang Sea Battle", died decades later when the Qing army invaded (It seems to have appeared in "The Strongest Weapon: The Bow"), he can be called full of loyalty - even if the country and the court fail his sacrifice, he will never betray his motherland and nation: this is a true hero !

Recently, a biography about Yi Sun-shin came into the market, titled "The Lonely General", which described the time of Yi Sun-shin's life between Myeongryang Sea Battle and Noryang Sea Battle. All kinds of wandering thoughts of loneliness, despair, sadness, helplessness, and struggle.

But Huang Shi in "Stealing the Light" is not so lonely?He saw the dark future where the Tartars broke through and the Shenzhou land sank. He wanted to change this nightmare, but he was always so powerless.From the emperor to his colleagues, it seems that they are constantly doing more harm than good.No one understood his worries, even the most loyal followers did not understand his inner pressure, but he finally stepped on the battlefield and wrote a heroic chapter with blood and life.

In the end, when the Luyang naval battle broke out, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had died of illness at that time, and the Japanese army was actually preparing to retreat, and they were even willing to offer a large sum of money to Yi Sun-shin to buy the way.Just like the last battle of Huangshi in "Stealing the Light", even if there is no fight, the Eight Banners soldiers who have robbed enough will withdraw their troops and return to the division.But Yi Sun-shin refused to compromise and gave way, and advised the generals of the Ming army not to compromise. No matter what, they must teach these invaders the most painful lesson, so that they dare not embark on the road of invading foreign countries again, otherwise once they eat their marrow and know their taste, they will die. Who knows if it's gone now, will it come back in a few years?

——At the end of the book "Stealing the Ming", Huang Shi probably also had the same mood, and he resolutely sent his troops to rush to the army of Hou Jin under the city of Zunhua.

As a result, the vigorous Luliang naval battle broke out, and 300 elite Japanese soldiers were buried in the sea.As a sacrifice for victory, Yi sun-shin was also shot and died heroically, leaving behind the famous last words of "The war is urgent, be careful not to say that I die, and do not surprise the army", which has been recited by every Korean elementary school student so far. sentence.And his soul has since become the patron saint of this sea area and even the Korean Peninsula.More than [-] years later, on the eve of the last major battle of the Russo-Japanese War—the Battle of Tsushima, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Togo Heihachiro, paid homage to Yi Sun-shin, an anti-Japanese hero, and prayed for him to bless him in winning the naval battle: according to the Japanese According to the propaganda of the people, the Russo-Japanese War was a racial war between the yellow race and the white race. Any yellow race should stand on the side of Japan, and the Koreans are no exception... I don’t know if Yi Sunshin knew it, he would have revealed it. What an embarrassing expression.

General Patton once said that there is nothing luckier for a soldier than being killed by the last bullet in the last battle.For Yi Sun-shin, it was not necessarily a kind of luck to be able to die in the final battle of Noryang Sea.Otherwise, with his upright personality and North Korean Li Dynasty's party struggle, if he lived to the end of the war, it would be hard to say what would happen in the end.But with his death in battle, the name "Lee Sun-shin" has since been promoted to the seat of God, and will no longer be defiled by any lesser people at will - so, a genius must be born at the right time and die at the right time .

In the same way, a good book should not only start at the right place, but also end at the right time, so as to avoid superfluous additions. The reason why "Stealing the Light" ended abruptly at the most heroic Zunhua Battle, ended at the most brilliant The scene of the movie is probably out of the same consideration.
