Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 788 The real turning point
It's a pity that this perfect foreshadowing is not so satisfactory.

After years of development, newspapers have become a rare channel for many middle- and lower-class literati to speak out to the entire world. They are also a propaganda channel for the royal families of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the civil and military officials.

Not everyone is looking forward to war.

It is also difficult for humans to draw lessons from past history.

Although the brutal war life that lasted for decades and the earth that was riddled with holes due to natural and man-made disasters was only a few years ago, as newspapers started to work hard and the two countries began to mobilize their troops, the clamor for war among the people was still there. turbulent.

This is naturally good for everyone on this land and for China as a whole.

But there are always some unlucky people who have to bear the consequences of war.

"Let's just say this is the wrong time."

France sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty.

Then it is naturally impossible for the Commonwealth of England to fall behind.

The envoys of the two countries went to China one after another. Because the landing place was too far from the Qing Dynasty in the north, they all turned back after landing in the Ming Dynasty and establishing diplomatic relations. However, when the diplomatic relations were established, the two countries naturally reached some friendly agreements with the Ming Dynasty.

Among them is sending overseas students to Daming.

Ming Dynasty can also send students to the two countries.

Isaac Newton stood at the pier of Guangzhou Port, looking at everything around him with wide eyes, and turned a deaf ear to the words of the Commonwealth officials who brought their group of international students to this Eastern world.

Ships from all over the world cover almost the entire Guangzhou coast, rickshaws and bicycles walking through the streets of the pier, slaves carrying cargo, cranes lifting large cargo containers, concrete street buildings and high-rise buildings, and people posing in the corners of the pier. Prostitutes, people wearing shabby or gorgeous clothes, all the oriental faces.

Everything opened Newton's eyes.

"We have no time to send an envoy to the Qing Dynasty. There is less than a month left before the armistice treaty between the two empires expires. Only God knows the outcome of this war. The local Catholic Church refuses to provide us with intelligence about the two empires. I It is suggested that we stay in Guangzhou city for two months to see the situation."

The official said another plan: "Or we can propose to the Ming Emperor to let them study in Guangzhou."

No matter what the officials think.

The young people who came to study abroad were extremely excited.

If it weren't for the officials around them who kept scolding them to prevent them from wandering around, a group of teenagers who were exhausted on the boat would have had fun on the pier.

It’s not that I’m not afraid of unfamiliar environments.

But they read a lot of books and newspapers about China before coming.

In these readings, although Eastern China is divided into two countries, they all have one thing in common.

Their people are kind, hard-working, generous, wealthy, and gentle. Even the most vulgar butchers, executioners, and even beggars are familiar with etiquette. In addition, many other virtues take a long time to talk about.

Isaac Newton was searching around curiously when he was suddenly approached by a kind-looking old man from the East and patted his shoulder, smiling and not knowing what to say to him.

Then he pointed at him and said a few words to the officials of the Commonwealth.

Newton didn't understand, but the officials were still somewhat educated. He didn't feel angry when he saw that the old man looked a little rich, so he just responded with a smile.

This baby is not for sale.

"Messenger from a foreign country? What a pity. This guy looks strong and has calluses on his hands, but he knows how to farm."

The old man felt a little regretful. Seeing that Newton liked him, he asked the dessert seller to give him a bag of rice cakes.

After all, foreign students were regarded as slaves waiting to be sold, and they had to pay more or less.

We cannot lose the face of the Qing Dynasty in this Ming Dynasty.Newton took the rice cake and was a little at a loss. He wanted to reject the old man but didn't look back. The simple Chinese words he knew were completely insufficient.

The companions were very curious about the rice cakes, so Newton shared the rice cakes with several people around him.

The sweet breath filled his chest, and Newton was extremely grateful for his decision to come to this eastern world despite all kinds of resistance.

The only thing he was worried about now was that the war in the Eastern world would affect his studies and even his future development in the Eastern world. After all, the cruel decision to abandon his mother who became a widow again made Newton feel heart-wrenching guilt from time to time.

But to be a farmer like my mother wanted?

Newton would rather die than do it.

Now he consciously stands at the biggest turning point in his life, has set foot on the brightest land in the world, and is about to have the best future.

It's a pity, it's really a pity.

There was only one month left before the war.

It has not been an hour since Newton landed in Ming Dynasty, and he is sincerely worried about the prosperity of this land.

I hope the old man just now will not be affected by the war.

However, there is a treaty between the two empires. They will ensure the safety of civilians and even provide basic living supplies to civilians whose lives are affected in war zones during wartime.
It can definitely be done!
The 15-year-old Newton seems to have been deceived into lameness.

But let’s not talk about whether the two empires can achieve this. The two countries are indeed working hard to achieve this.

There are a group of people in both countries who know who is sitting on the throne of the Qing Dynasty, so whether it is under Zhu Youjian's instruction, they really have some righteousness and love for the people, or in order to make this internal dispute between the old Zhu family The farce should not affect innocent people as much as possible.

They traveled all over the country, placed spies and supervisors in the army, stirred up public opinion in the court, and prepared the people at the bottom for war.

You Shoulong, who lives in Nanjing, has been doing this for three years.

Now he can proudly say that in China, regardless of the Ming and Qing dynasties, public opinion among young people is absolutely against the casualties of civilians in wars.

This is the moral improvement and civilizational progress of the entire Chinese society.

"So you came down here just to tell me that the master has started building a temple for us? Are we going to die?"

You Shoulong and Chai Xu took their seats in the private room.

As time goes by, the appearance of these two old acquaintances who have not seen each other for many years has changed drastically. Some of them have gained some spleen, or some gray hairs and wrinkles have appeared.

Chai Xu has been in charge for several years and has served as senior officials in many important towns. He no longer looks cold and iron-faced. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "No, the master said he was not going to die, but because the war was about to start, so he built the building first. In addition, there are Oral instruction.”

"Long live my slave!"

"From now on, you are no longer my minister, but a minister of China. No matter how the war turns out, protecting the country and the people will achieve the right result."

"Um!?"

You Shoulong was shocked when he heard this. He stood up and glared at Chai Xu. Seeing him smile slightly, he said: "Everyone has this sentence, and the meaning is the same. The reason for saying it directly without sending a telegram is because His Majesty just ordered me to supervise during the war. Mingjun, just take advantage of the situation and say a word, lest you can't accept it for a while."

"This this?"

Seeing You Shoulong's thoughts, Chai Xu said: "My master has agreed with His Majesty the Ming Dynasty that each army will secretly station supervisors in the opposing army. If each army violates military regulations or many conventions, both parties will jointly restrict it."

"My master is wise and your majesty is virtuous, which is a great good thing for the country and the people."
