Chapter 2444: The Traveler in Prison(1/3)

They entered the world and had a general overview of the world.

I found that they were all in ancient costumes, and there were no people flying into the sky to escape, so I subconsciously judged that this was the world of the feudal dynasty.

After arriving, I looked further into the distance and saw a flag with words written on it.

"Ming dynasty".

There is also a yellow dragon hovering on the flag.

"That's the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Ming Dynasty!" No. 1 said suddenly.

They actually came to the Ming Dynasty.

"This is the Ming Dynasty, what a pity." No. 3 shook his head.

"Tsk, there are many deceptive places in Ming Dynasty, and there are also many good places."

"In short, there are both barbaric places and upward places."

After everyone discovered this, they felt quite depressed.

The 10 people looked around and found that this place was really just a feudal dynasty, which they found very boring.

What secrets can a feudal dynasty have to discover?

But when they looked carefully, they quickly discovered something different.

That is, there are many things here that are different from the feudal era.

They came to an ordinary county town.

Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.

All of them had rosy faces and no patches on their clothes.

The food is good and the clothes are good.

Of course this is nothing.

Many small towns in the south of the Yangtze River can achieve this by relying on sea trade.

The difference is that there is actually a telegraph station here!

It is the most luxurious and sturdy building in the entire county.

Located in the center of the county, protected by the strongest castle!

The county government is located among them.

You must know that during the Ming Dynasty, castles were generally not built in inland counties.

But now here it is completely the opposite.

Each castle is 30 meters high.

There are hundreds of elite soldiers stationed on the castle.

They are real elite soldiers, the kind with iron armor.

In the center of the castle, there is a tall mast with wires wrapped around it.

Is that a radio station?

How can it be?

How could a feudal dynasty have radio?

The ten people were shocked.

Then think about it carefully.

It's actually not that special.

The real invention of the wireless telegraph was in 1895.

In 1895, both the East and the West were still dominated by feudal monarchs.

It was not until after 1918 that the monarch fell.

Their first guess was that history occasionally changed and the Ming Dynasty continued into the 19th century.

The second guess is that there are time travellers.

Then they went to investigate the age of this place.

When I asked the time carefully, I found that the Gregorian calendar was used here.

And it’s 1643.

Under normal circumstances, this is only one year away from the real time of the demise of Ming Dynasty orthodoxy!

However, for now, the situation is still peaceful.

Of course, they also knew that the demise of the Ming Dynasty was a comprehensive collapse caused by local festering.

When orthodoxy in the capital fell, most places in the south were still peaceful, and people could still live their lives.

However, by observing the clothes and accents of the people in the county below, they discovered that this should be the north, or the land of Donglu.

No. 1 frowned and said: "Since there is a radio, it is 1643, and the scene is still the same, then there is a high probability that someone who has traveled through time has come."

"This time traveler is very smart."

"We didn't rush to make major changes or make special changes to create a republic."

No. 2 smiled and said: "Since there is a radio, there must be something else."

Sure enough, they discovered another railway north of the town.

There was also a train rumbling along on the railway, pulling out streams of steam.

Railways and steam trains were the first means of transportation for mankind to completely conquer nature.

But something happened that shocked them.

After two days of investigation.

Apart from radio and railroads, little more has changed.

Other technologies have not developed so well.

Steamship, not seen.

Rifled muskets were not seen either.

The most important thing is that there are no professional primary schools, middle schools or high schools. On the contrary, people still read the Four Books and Five Classics, and learn the Three Guidelines and Five Constant Rules.

There is just a miscellaneous subject, the mechanical engineering subject, which is used to obtain a bachelor's degree.

"I understand!" No. 3 said suddenly.

He had been the son of a script once and understood it faster.

"What did you understand?"

"I understand that this place mainly uses specific technologies to consider the stability of the empire's rule."

"The first is the train, and the second is the radio. The radio can ensure that the empire's news is delivered to the border."

"And the train can ensure that the empire's force is delivered to the border."

“This will enable the central government to suppress local governments.”

"With radios and trains, it can be said that it has become extremely difficult for those local forces to rebel."

Everyone nodded.

They thought carefully about it.

Historically, various forces, since the emergence of trains, have had very few cases of large forces with complete railway networks wanting to rebel internally and then achieve victory.

Most of them have had strong external intervention, and the internal economic conditions have deteriorated to the extreme, and even the soldiers' pay can no longer be maintained.

This kind of collapse often occurs under the impetus of external forces.

The most typical one is the collapse of the Hans royal family, which was the failure of the First World War, which resulted in the loss of popular support and prestige.

It was only when the soldiers on the front line and the rear started to cause chaos at the same time that it was over.

It was not a direct rebellion by internal soldiers.

In places where people still walked on two legs before the establishment of trains, local separatism was even more common.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand the importance of trains.

Trains can quickly gather troops to achieve a situation of using more to defeat fewer.

When unrest is detected, troops can be quickly moved there in advance.

There is no need to keep too many troops on the border.

After their observation, this is what Ming Dynasty is like now.

They built trains and wireless telegraph stations everywhere to transport soldiers to various places.
