The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 345 If the enemy can go, I can go too!

Shi Miaorou put the bamboo basket on her back and put on a piece of linen clothes at the same time, and then walked slowly towards the mountain road aside.

"Sir, let me go with you!"

Just when Shi Miaorou had just stepped onto the mountain path, he saw a palace guard walking up quickly and saying this.

Shi Miaorou paused, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Shi Miaorou naturally knew why he accompanied her. After all, she was already so old. It was not safe to go up the mountain alone, which also made them worried.

If I refuse, I'm afraid they will insist on following me.

In this case, it is better to just agree.

A temple guard followed behind him, and Shi Miaorou walked in front, walking in the mountain forest. The mountain road gradually became rugged, and it was even difficult to continue climbing.

Shi Miaorou stopped, carrying the bamboo basket on her back, and then placed it on the ground.

At this moment, the surrounding mountains and forests have turned golden in color. The arrival of autumn has turned the trees yellow, and plump fruits have hung on the trees.

Shi Miaorou went up the mountain, picked all kinds of wild fruits one by one, and put them in bamboo baskets.

Although there were a lot of fruits on the tree, Shi Miaorou did not pick them all, but only picked some of them. After all, he also needed to pay attention to the mountains to provide food for the small animals on the mountains.

In less than a moment, most of the bamboo baskets brought up by Shi Miaorou were filled. Seeing this, Shi Miaorou also stopped picking, and then slowly walked down the mountain with the bamboo baskets on her back.

She planned to pick some first and then go down and give it a try. After all, she had never made wine before and she didn’t know if she would succeed in making wine for the first time.

After the experiment, and with absolute certainty, we can go up the mountain to pick more wild fruits.

Moreover, it is only early autumn at this time. When late autumn comes, it is really the time when all the fruits are ripe.

Seeing Shi Miaorou and the guards following him return safely, the other guards in front of the Divine Bird Palace breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Miaorou put the wild fruits on the ground, then called the palace guards and gave them some wild fruits.

After all, wild fruits still taste good.

Afterwards, Shi Miaorou began to slowly clean the wild fruits in preparation for making wine.

……

Time passed slowly, and it had been half a year since Shi Miaorou came to Lishan Mountain. From the arrival of summer, it was already winter.

Heavy snow falls from the sky, and the original wax figure is covered in ice for thousands of miles.

There is a snow-white color everywhere on Lishan Mountain, making the whole world appear brightly.

Shi Miaorou, wearing a woolen cloak, stood in front of the side hall of the Divine Bird Palace, looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky, silent.

She could feel that the snow this year seemed to be heavier than ever before.

“Is the extreme weather in Daming not over yet?”

Indeed not yet!
Bai Zhi on the side did not answer.

In the original history, there were still extreme weather conditions at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which may have been one of the reasons that led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty in the original history.

But it seems that it will be relieved in the Qing Dynasty, the original history.

But for now, Daming is doing very well at this time.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had a vast overseas territory at this time, which could provide the Ming Dynasty with a large amount of food, so that the local Ming Dynasty people would not starve and freeze.

Coupled with the reasons for the Tongkang Society, the people of Ming Dynasty today only complain to God. As for Ming Dynasty, they are very grateful.

After all, Daming gave them a lot of help.

"call……"

Above Lishan Mountain, the cold wind howled. It seemed that the wind was louder and colder on the mountain.

In the side hall of the Divine Bird Hall, Shi Miaorou had lit a fire to keep warm. However, because of Bai Zhi's protection, Shi Miaorou would not be frozen.

After admiring the snowy scenery for a while in front of the Divine Bird Temple, Shi Miaorou turned and walked into the Divine Bird Temple. The Divine Bird Temple was empty. It was originally a temple and looked particularly tall and majestic.

Even in summer, entering the Divine Bird Temple will make people feel a slight chill, let alone winter.

So this is also the reason why the divine bird protects Shi Miaorou.

And Shi Miaorou naturally knew this, so the heat and cold in the Divine Bird Palace was not that important at this time.

In the spacious side hall of the Divine Bird Palace, there are a large number of wine jars piled up. They are the fruit wine brewed by Shi Miaorou in this autumn. There are a lot of them. At the same time, the wine jars are sealed very well, as if they want to To be kept for a long time.

"Wow..."

Take off the small pot from the stove, pour the clear hot wine into the wine glass, and simmer the wine on the stove for a while, until it is warm.

But it also made the smell of wine permeate the air, and the aroma of fruit wine spread instantly.

Shi Miaorou raised the fruit wine, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, then she looked intoxicated, and then slowly drank the wine in the glass.

There was a look of intoxication on her face as she tasted the wine in the glass carefully. After a moment, she opened her eyes but shook her head slightly and said:
"It's not as good as the wine of the old man!"

Shi Miaorou sighed. She had already given a name to the wine of the Han Dynasty that had been piled in front of the Divine Bird Hall, and named it Dahan.

But she shook her head slightly and said softly: "I'm just greedy. After all, it only lasted less than three months..."

Even normal brewing time is not enough.

Shi Miaorou sealed the wine jar again and placed it in the wine jar aside. Then she took the Dahan's wine, put it on the stove to warm slowly, and then tasted it carefully.

……

Compared to the quietness and leisure here in Shi Miaorou, it seemed particularly dignified above the Ming Dynasty Hall.

In the imperial city of Beiping, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it also started to snow lightly. Fine snowflakes drifted down, and a thin layer of cashmere blanket was spread on the stone roads and Qiong Towers.

In the huge and magnificent palace, civil and military officials were discussing serious matters. Their faces were solemn. After discussing with each other, they all looked at Mr. Ming who was sitting above.

At this time, Mr. Daming was an old man in his destiny. His appearance was ordinary and there seemed to be nothing unusual about him.

Noticing the eyes of the officials below, he spoke slowly and said:

"How are you discussing the rebellion in the Ming Dynasty's overseas lands?"

"Sir, according to the investigation by the supervisors of the Tongkang Society, the planners of the overseas rebellion are most likely Westerners!"

"The West is a small country, but there are many countries. Can you determine which small country it is?" Mr. Daming continued to ask.

"It's an island country called Great Britain!"

"Oh?"

Others couldn't help but look puzzled after hearing this. They didn't expect that it was just an island country that dared to plan a rebellion in the Ming Dynasty.

"Let's talk about it in detail so that we can collectively decide what to do."

"This island country called Great Britain also launched a large-scale voyage twenty years ago and began sailing on the sea. However, their fleets mostly went to Yanmo Continent (African continent). With Yanmo The struggle among the Ming folk pioneers on the mainland."

"And on the Yanmo Continent, our civil pioneers of the Ming Dynasty are naturally very strong against the Western barbarians, causing the people of the island country of Great Britain to spit out a lot of land."

"Perhaps because they can't get any benefits in Yanmo Continent, they are thinking about our Ming Dynasty's overseas territories!"

"Where exactly did the rebellion occur?"

"The Indonesian Islands and the Black Sea in the Western Region!"

After hearing the official's words, everyone in the hall fell silent. Mr. Daming above was silent for a moment, then looked at the people below and said, "How do you think we should handle this matter?"

"The Indonesian archipelago has indigenous people. Although the Ming Dynasty has governed it for decades, there are still people who miss the past life. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty immigrated many people and did not assimilate the locals well."

"As for the land of the Black Sea in the Western Region, it is different from the people of the Ming Dynasty. There is a big difference in appearance, which makes it even more difficult."

"However, their lives under the rule of the Ming Dynasty are completely different from their previous lives. Therefore, these rebels are probably only a small number, and they also harbor evil intentions. The real purpose may not be a simple rebellion! "

After hearing this, everyone already had an idea in their mind, but they saw Mr. Daming sitting above him stood up and said: "In this case, there are only two choices. The first one is to suppress the rebellion. As for the real culprit behind the scenes, certain punishments will be imposed, such as strictly prohibiting people from Great Britain from entering Ming Dynasty’s territory!”

"The second option is for the Ming Navy to go directly to Great Britain to really punish them!"

"After all, if you can go to Kou, you can go to Ming Dynasty... too!"

"Let the voting begin!"

"..."

……

Compared to the dry and cold Beiping City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in the sea of ​​​​light in the south, the sun is shining brightly, the waves are lapping at the coast, and in the blue sea, huge warships stand.

The warships are all made of steel, and each warship has a thick gun barrel, which is still stable even in the waves.

On the tall mast, the black bird flag representing the Ming Dynasty hung, buzzing in the sea breeze.

However, at this moment, a large number of soldiers suddenly rushed out from the military camp on the shore. They took formal steps. At the same time, they were wearing navy blue clothes and no armor.

They quickly lined up on the shore, and then under the leadership of the general, quickly boarded the huge ironclad ship!
"According to the order from the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty Tongkanghui, let our Ming Dynasty Tongkang Navy South China Sea Fleet go to Great Britain to teach the vulgar British people a lesson!"

"The small country of Zu'er is not as big as a small island in my Ming Dynasty. How dare you provoke my Ming Dynasty?"

"That's because they don't know how powerful my Ming Dynasty is. Although my Ming Dynasty mainly focuses on reforming local people in overseas territories, it doesn't mean that I, my Ming Dynasty, don't have martial arts skills!"

"To teach a small country a lesson, you still need to dispatch two armored ships and three supply ships of your own?"

After boarding the ship, the soldiers had doubts on their faces. They were obviously not interested in the so-called Great Britain, and even thought that Ming Dynasty paid too much attention to it.

"What you don't know is that Great Britain is too far away from here and needs to go around the southernmost tip of Yanmo Continent, so it wants so many ships, mainly supply ships!"

"I've also seen the map, but wouldn't it be more appropriate to send troops from the Ming American Province?"

"How can we show the mighty power of tomorrow by sending troops from there?!"

"However, the American provinces do not have many naval forces stationed in them, and they do not have the ability to sail far, so they can only send troops from the Ming Dynasty itself."

After all, in the eyes of today's Ming people, America is just a base for food production.

So it is normal to not have a large number of troops.

The small navy is only used to expel Westerners from invading the Americas.

"Navy moves out!"

As the penetrating horn sounded, a total of five large ships set off from the Ming Nanhai Naval Base and headed west in a mighty manner.

The Ming Dynasty's territory has maintained a certain degree of stability.

As for the land not occupied by Ming Dynasty, it was just that Ming Dynasty looked down upon it.

After all, the Ming Dynasty's territory at this time was too vast, and much of the land was only roughly developed and not cultivated intensively.

For example, mining. At this time, Daming was just developing surface mineral deposits. As for deep mineral deposits, Daming temporarily gave up mining.

After all, surface mineral deposits are easier to mine and the cost is very low. In this case, why bother to mine the mineral deposits deep underground.

After all, there are no surface mineral deposits here, so let’s find another place. There are not many other places in Daming, but there is a lot of land!

Daming is so tyrannical!
The Yanmo Continent that Daming spoke of was the land that the Ming Dynasty officials had given up fighting for. Although this land also contained a lot of resources, how could all the good things be collected?
The more important point is that Daming does not like the skin color of the people in this land.

However, this does not mean that the pioneers of the Ming Dynasty will abandon this land.

At the same time, it also means that people from other countries can do whatever they want on this land.

The fact that the Ming Dynasty sent a fleet to teach a small country in the West a lesson was not publicized on a large scale, so that not many people among the people knew about it.

One could only see the Ming Navy fleet leaving the naval base and going somewhere unknown. But it didn't attract anyone's attention, after all, the Ming Navy fleet would go out from time to time.

……

Three months later, the Ming Navy fleet arrived at the European continent smoothly. The vast sea was flat, windless and sunny, and it was a good day.

The general of the Ming fleet thought the same way. He put down the telescope in his hand. At this time, even the telescope could see the vast horizon ahead.

"Get closer slowly!"

Following the navy general's order, the two ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty slowly approached. At the same time, the artillery on the ironclad ships was also ready to fire, always ready to deal with emergencies.

……

On the ground, some people naturally noticed the mighty armored ship in the sea.

This is a filthy port. The people on the port have sunken eye sockets, messy hair, and the dirty clothes exude the smell of fish and sea, like ghosts.

They looked in horror at the huge ship that suddenly appeared above the sea, and chaos broke out in an instant. Because they have never seen such a huge and majestic ship. Obviously, this is not a ship of their own country!
