Rebirth of Prince Gong's Mansion

Chapter 503 Is This Still Our Qing Dynasty?

Time passed day by day, and the entire Qing Dynasty was undergoing rapid changes. The common people who were oppressed in the past are now full of expectations for the future. They know that the current life is because of a new emperor. of.

Everyone has a dreamlike feeling that there are so many farm tools now, which saves a lot of labor compared to farming before.

And those diesel engines and everything, everything makes everyone feel novel.

The Royal Academy of Sciences didn't know how it was done, and it seemed that something new was coming out every day.

In the past, the domestic imperial examinations for the Four Books and Five Classics were changing. Schools were being built all over the country, ranging from kindergartens to universities, and the system of free education was also implemented.

can not understand!

Many people feel that their minds cannot keep up with the development of the times.

However, everyone knows in their hearts that the life they are living now is something they never even dared to imagine before.

Sitting in the palace, surrounded by beautiful concubines, Fan Ze's life is actually very good, and he suddenly found that the path of meritorious cultivation he took was right.

In the past, it was difficult to cultivate even if one exhausted all one's strength in cultivation. Now, just by developing a country well, the merits and virtues will come in a steady stream. This is really too easy.

When the Qing Dynasty was changing rapidly, those people who went to study and investigate far away in Europe were silent.

They had never gone abroad before, and they didn't know the outside situation. After going abroad this time, they suddenly realized that the Qing Dynasty was too far behind, so far behind that they all felt unable to breathe.

Especially when they saw the new weapons in Europe, they were even more worried about the future of the Qing Dynasty.

Several people sat in a coffee house in England, tasting coffee, and they didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, only one person sighed and said, "What do you think?"

Everyone knows what he said. The current Qing Dynasty is still closed to the outside world. Opium is flooding the country, the army is corrupt, and politics is not good. Such a Qing Dynasty is facing foreign aggression. What will they do to deal with it.

"We must rush back to the country as soon as possible, the Qing Dynasty can't go on like this!"

"Yes, we need to save the Qing Dynasty!"

Someone also sighed and said, "What are we going to use to fight Europe? The news I know is that the coalition forces have already been dispatched."

Due to the poor flow of news, they still don't know about the collapse of the coalition forces.

"Their guns are so powerful, it's a completely different way of fighting!"

Soon, more and more people gathered. They were learning about Europe from all aspects, and found that the gap between the Qing Dynasty and Europe was so huge.

"Go home!"

"We must report the situation here to the imperial court!"

Except for some people who were disappointed and no longer wanted to return, most of them expressed their desire to return to China as soon as possible.

Because they paid the money, the British businessmen arrived and quickly arranged ships to send everyone back home.

Sitting on the boat, everyone was still talking about what they had seen and heard, and even began to organize and write a long memorial. They must let the court know about this gap.

At this time, a young man said with a heavy heart: "I just got a piece of news that domestic mobs are rebelling everywhere. They attacked everywhere, even the county palace was attacked by them. Many officials were killed and many places were destroyed by them. Break through, now the coalition forces are attacking Jincheng, and the whole Qing Dynasty is in chaos."

Hearing this, the people sitting on the boat were all silent. What should we do with such a Qing Dynasty?
Time passed day by day, and the ship sailed on the sea for a long time.

The closer they got to the Qing Dynasty, the heavier everyone's heart was. They didn't know what kind of country they would see when they returned to the Qing Dynasty.

Now that they have no source of news, they can only hope that the Qing Dynasty can hold on.

On this day, when the fleet finally saw the coast in front of them, everyone's mood suddenly became excited, and they all saw that it was the coast of the Qing Dynasty, and they finally came back.

Along the coast, when the fleet came to Dagukou, they saw a fleet coming towards them.

Could it be the fleet of the coalition forces?

However, when looking at the fleet that was getting further and further away, everyone was shocked to find that the flag of the Qing Dynasty was hanging on it.

That is a giant steel ship!
When they got closer, everyone finally saw the difference. This was a huge steel ship, not the European warship they had seen at all.

When looking at the soldiers on those battleships, they are no longer wearing the armor of the Qing Dynasty, but a more beautiful military uniform.

These soldiers are all serious and serious, standing there, they have a strong aura.

Could it be that the dynasty has changed?

Someone was thinking in his heart at this moment.

Soon, after the negotiations, the other party became more enthusiastic after knowing that they were dispatched personnel returning.

"Are you the army of the Qing Dynasty?" Someone tried to ask.

"Yes, we are the navy of the Qing Dynasty."

"Which one is the emperor now?"

"The emperor is the restart emperor!"

This……

When they heard that it was still the restart emperor, everyone was stunned again.

"This...doesn't it mean that the coalition forces are attacking our country?" Someone asked again.

"Allied forces?"

The other party laughed.

Soon, the officer said: "Nearly 5000 coalition troops and ships were swept away by the storm here. Except for some of the [-] people on land who were killed, most of the others ran out of ammunition. Got wiped out by a mob there, and we wiped out those mobs too."

what?
"I heard that there are many mobs in various places, and the county king has been killed?"

"That's true, but the riots across the country have been suppressed, and now the whole country has recovered."

When we came here, everyone had various thoughts, and even thought of the result of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, but what we didn't expect was such a result.

After landing, everyone was shocked again. There was no war here, and everyone was smiling. What made everyone even more surprised was that the road was completely different, a road they had never seen before.

Someone checked in there for a while and still couldn't figure out what it was.

There are no more braids, and the clothes are more Western than the West. The common people are no longer in tatters.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Thinking of the long story they had prepared on the boat, and looking at the situation before them, they suddenly found that the Qing Dynasty seemed to be more advanced than Europe.

What the hell is going on here?
