Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Wei Xiaobao was also horrified when he saw this beautiful, antique-looking woman falling on his chest and crying.

However, Xiaobao didn't know that his soul had been traveling across time and space for more than 300 years, and he didn't know that the energy in this body had been exhausted and extremely weak, so he didn't even have the strength to speak. But he could sense that this beautiful woman seemed to care about him very much.

Shuang'er hugged Xiaobao and cried for a while, and then her mood calmed down.

Shuang'er stared at Wei Xiaobao's eyes. She always felt that Xiaobao's eyes, who had been resurrected from the dead, were a little strange, and she always felt that something was wrong.

"My husband, how do you feel now?"

Xiaobao used all his strength to force out a few words:

"Where is this?"

When Shuang'er heard this, she was shocked, but then she came to her senses and thought that maybe her husband had come back to life and there was something wrong with his brain, so his memory was lost.

So Shuang'er told Wei Xiaobao bit by bit how Wei Xiaobao died, how the ladies and Lord Duolong left, etc.

Wei Xiaobao understood immediately after hearing this. As a fan of online novels, it was not difficult for Xiaobao to understand that he had traveled back to ancient times. As his parents and himself, Wei Xiaobao's whole family were fans of Jin Yong, and he immediately understood that he had traveled back to the body of Wei Xiaobao, the greatest figure in the history of the Wei family, who had been verified and documented by history.

Speaking of Wei Xiaobao, Xiaobao's father comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. He was born in the 1970s and grew up reading Jin Yong's martial arts novels. He has a deep admiration for Wei Xiaobao, otherwise why would he name his son Wei Xiaobao?

The beauty in front of him is Shuang'er, the Seventh Lady who is the most considerate to Wei Xiaobao.

Xiaobao understood that he had traveled through time, but he did not travel to Aobai's house which was sealed off, nor to the comfortable and peaceful Forbidden City. Instead, at the end of the story, he was imprisoned on Tongchi Island, where he was sentenced to death long ago.

Moreover, he died inexplicably, his wife and children were separated, and all his life experiences were lost.

Thinking of this, Xiaobao felt that God was playing a big joke on him.

Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I’d better take care of my health. It’s already here anyway, I’ll deal with the rest later.

Xiaobao turned his attention to this body and felt extremely exhausted.

This divine body is truly amazing. It is extremely weak and cannot eat anything to replenish itself. It can only drink some thin porridge and slowly recover.

Thanks to his father who runs a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, Xiaobao knew the condition of his body.

"Shuang, Shuang'er, go get me some porridge..." Xiaobao said.

When Shuang'er heard Xiaobao calling her name, she was very happy and quickly said to Xiaobao: "Husband, please wait for me, it will be ready soon". After that, Shuang'er went to the kitchen to cook porridge.

… …

Ten days later, under Shuang'er's careful care, Xiaobao's body had recovered and he could move freely again.

Xiaobao now has a general understanding of the situation on Tongchi Island.

Since being imprisoned on Tongchi Island by Emperor Kangxi, all the huge fortune that Wei Xiaobao had accumulated in the past was confiscated by the emperor. In other words, Wei Xiaobao on Tongchi Island was a pauper. Except for the dagger that could cut through iron like mud and the vest that was invulnerable to swords and guns, he had no valuables on him.

Soldiers and officers regularly delivered supplies to Tongchi Island every month, but when Duolong left, he told Shuang'er that a ship would be sent to pick him up after a hundred days.

There is nothing on Tongchi Island now except the rations that Duolong left for Shuang'er when he left. It is extremely poor.

"Alas! Others who travel through time are either rich second-generations or second-generations of officials, but I am different. I have to bear the title of a dead person and am still a pauper!" Xiaobao couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of this.

Since God has arranged for me to come here, I am not Wei Xiaobao, I am Wei Xiaobao!

"Shuang'er, are there any other ships on this island besides the ones that the officers and soldiers use to deliver supplies?" Xiaobao asked.

"My lord, there was originally a large ship, but it was sailed away when the multi-lords withdrew."

"Are there any other ships passing by?"

"Are you leaving Tongchi Island, my husband? When he left, Mr. Duo said that he would send a boat to pick me up on the 100th day."

"No, Shuang'er, we can't wait for them. My identity cannot be exposed. We have to leave quietly."

"Well, I forgot about this. We can't let Kangxi know that my husband is resurrected." Shuang'er said solemnly.

"Sir, merchant ships from the Ryukyu Kingdom occasionally pass by here. They are going to the Qing Dynasty to smuggle goods."

Yes, this Tongchi Island seems to be in the East China Sea, close to the Ryukyu Kingdom. The Ryukyu Kingdom in the 15th century was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. In the 16th year of Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty had not yet recovered the Taiwan Province, and the Taiwan Province was still in the hands of the Zheng family. The Ryukyu Kingdom should also be within the sphere of influence of the Zheng family.

Xiaobao was cramming history from his own memory. But he had no idea that the space he was in was Jin Yong's world, which was somewhat different from the space of history.

"Okay, we will summon Ryukyu ships and go to the Ryukyu Kingdom." Xiaobao said.

Xiaobao ordered Shuang'er to collect trees on the island and set them on fire on the beach where the ship had appeared before.

Suddenly, black smoke billowed and could be seen within dozens of nautical miles.

Three days later, a Ryukyu ship finally arrived at the notification island.

Shuang'er used her jewelry as the fare, and the two boarded a merchant ship bound for Ryukyu.

Before leaving, Shuang'er left a letter for Duo Da to avoid suspicion from the court. She said that after she had burned Xiaobao for seven days, she caught up with a passing ship and left first.

More than ten days later, the two arrived in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The Ryukyu Kingdom is located between Taiwan Province and Kyushu Island of Japan. The vast majority of the residents on the island are Chinese people who have fled to the sea to make a living.

The Ryukyu Kingdom in the early Qing Dynasty was different from Xiaobao's limited historical knowledge. At that time, the Ryukyu Kingdom had already pledged allegiance to the Qing Dynasty and became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. The Zheng Group was still fighting among itself and had no time to take care of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In 1674, Emperor Kangxi implemented the unprecedented maritime ban of the Qing Dynasty in order to crack down on the anti-Qing and pro-Ming forces fleeing overseas. Due to the relocation of coastal borders, tens of thousands of kilometers of China's coastline were fortified, hundreds of thousands of people were massacred, and millions of people were relocated.

Affected by the maritime ban, the trade between the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty was cut off at that time. Apart from the abundant fishery resources, the Ryukyu Island Kingdom had to import other items such as food and ironware from the Qing Dynasty.

Under the situation of Kangxi's high-pressure crackdown on maritime trade, the number of Ryukyu smuggling ships that risked their lives decreased.

In the neighboring country of Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate became the largest daimyo warlord in Japan, placed the emperor under house arrest, used the emperor to control the princes, expanded its military power, and became ambitious. It stretched its hand to the Ryukyu Islands, intending to occupy and annex the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In 1609, the Tokugawa shogunate sent troops to Ryukyu and detained King Shang Ning, who was later released under the mediation of the Ming Dynasty. The current King Shang Wen is the great-grandson of Shang Ning and the ninth king of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

During the war-torn period at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Tokuyama family once again sent troops to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, King Shangning wrote to the Qing Dynasty and presented the seal of the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty recognized the vassal status of the Ryukyu Kingdom and warned the Tokugawa Shogunate to withdraw its troops.

At the request of Emperor Shunzhi, Japan withdrew from Ryukyu. Ryukyu and the Qing Dynasty spent more than 20 years of honeymoon.

But the good times did not last long, as Kangxi's maritime ban put Ryukyu in trouble.

At this time, the Tokugawa shogunate, which was still unwilling to give up, extended its claws into the Ryukyu Kingdom.
