Looking at the long robes and mandarin jackets on the street, Gao Shaoyi had to accept the reality.
This guy suddenly woke up to the memory of his previous life after taking a nap. Three days later, from the initial panic to the gradual acceptance of reality, the memory can be regarded as integrated.
In my last life, I was a twenty-year-old Earth military academy student.
This life is similar to the Daqian Dynasty in the late Manchu Dynasty, and I don’t know which planet it is on.
The world has just completed the second industrial revolution and is in the stage of transition to electrification.
The Daqian Dynasty was originally the most powerful empire in the world, with unparalleled economic and military strength. However, due to the incompetence of the emperor and the rule of treacherous ministers, the Daqian Dynasty began to decline a hundred years ago.
The current Emperor Yongde has been on the throne for more than 40 years, but his ability to govern is really not worthy of his reign.
The forty years he was in power were also the forty years during which the Daqian Dynasty declined the fastest.
When he ascended the throne, the Daqian Dynasty still had a territory of 13 million square kilometers and a population of 400 million.
Forty years later, in order to maintain his luxurious rule, a quarter of the territory was ceded or leased, and foreign troops were stationed across the country, including the capital.
Even some powerful governors and governors who relied on foreign support were alienated from the imperial court and became a state within a state. The people across the country were living in dire straits.
From Gao Shaoyi's understanding, the Daqian Dynasty was actually not as good as the Qing Dynasty. At least in the end, the Qing Dynasty was still the common ruler of the world.
However, the Daqian court had these states within states more than ten years ago, and they did not give any respect to the court's orders, and they all followed their own way.
This country is really prone to internal and external troubles.
"Master Hou, do you want to think about it again? This is selling ancestral property."
Gao Shaoyi was thinking about something when he was suddenly pulled back by the old housekeeper next to him.
Hearing this title, Gao Shaoyi sighed. Others were looking forward to finishing it off, but he couldn't!
The current emperor is his own uncle, his mother is the emperor's sister, the twelfth princess, and he is the third-class marquis of the Daqian Dynasty, and can be regarded as the number one figure.
But now both his parents have passed away, and his family is in a state of decline. He has been walking cats and dogs for more than 20 years without doing anything serious. Within two years after his parents died, he was reduced to selling his ancestral home to make ends meet. He sold this house , except for the Marquis Mansion, there is no other property in the whole mansion.
"Is there anything to consider? Is it possible for me to take office empty-handed?"
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, he signed his name and sold the Marquis Mansion for three thousand imperial silver coins. The old housekeeper could only sigh helplessly when he thought that the young master was about to be sent to the frontier.
According to the regulations of the Daqian Dynasty, when aristocratic children reach the age of 20, they must go to important border towns for three years of training.
Seeing that Gao Shaoyi was about to die, he also had to make some arrangements for his expenses.
What's more, we don't just want money for expenses.
The most important thing is to turn on the system.
When I awakened my memory, there was a system in my head, but the system prompted that I needed two thousand imperial silver coins to activate it.
This imperial silver coin is very valuable. The monthly living expenses of an ordinary family of four only costs two silver coins.
The whole family is so poor that only this villa is worth anything. If they don't sell it, they will never be able to raise 2,000 silver coins in a lifetime.
The major empires are becoming more and more aggressive towards the Daqian Dynasty, and they may come in at any time. Counting on the imperial court? It is better to just hope in dreams.
What's more, he was going to take office in another month, and the situation in the capital was a little better. The governors from other places were most resistant to the royal relatives and nobles sent by the capital, and some of them were secretly killed.
So if you want to survive, unlocking the system is the first priority.
No matter what kind of system it is, as long as every system has a little more hope of survival, it means a narrow escape from death. But without this system, if you go to take office, you will have a narrow escape from death.
Toot…
After collecting two thousand imperial silver coins, the weapon exchange system for powerful countries is opened.
Sitting on the carriage, a brand new interface appeared in Gao Shaoyi's mind.
All kinds of weapons are densely packed above...
Coat color 98k…
German mg34 general machine gun...
Large plate chicken light machine gun…
American 60mm mortar...
It really has everything you need! With such a system, can you still live a useless life? Will the Daqian Dynasty still suffer humiliation?
Unless he is mentally retarded, otherwise all of this will change with the emergence of the system. Gao Shaoyi felt passionate in his heart to open up new territories, protect his family and country, and prevent thousands of people from being bullied...
Awake to hold the power of the world, drunk and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman...
Pointing the country, scolding Fang Qiu...
Jinluan Palace…
Everything becomes possible. Those who have bullied me, just wait!
However, these weapons cannot be exchanged for the time being and need to be unlocked one by one, and they can only be unlocked with system-specific merit points.
There are two sources of merit points. One is to kill the enemy in battle and obtain merit points after victory.
The other one is to exchange it with imperial silver coins. One imperial silver coin can be exchanged for one merit point.
Um?
While Gao Shaoyi was looking at the system, a group of patrol soldiers walked by and caught Gao Shaoyi's attention.
"Is this their weapon?"
Gao Shaoyi saw many soldiers carrying long rifles on their backs. If he read correctly, they should be rifles that fired paper fixed ammunition. Regardless of range and stability, 98k could kill them instantly.
The most important thing is the rate of fire. 98k can load five bullets at a time, but the rifles used by these soldiers can only load one bullet at a time. If we encounter them on the battlefield, these soldiers using old-fashioned rifles will fire out one bullet at a time. , Zanmen's three or four rounds have been hit, you also hit a hammer.
"Master Marquis, this is the latest rifle in the world. The imperial court spent a lot of money to buy it from the Windsor Empire. Each rifle costs one hundred and twenty imperial silver coins. It is said that Westerners only have a small amount of elite military equipment."
The old housekeeper was a little puzzled as to why the young master was interested in this. It turned out that what he was most interested in was whose bird sang nicely and whose sister was the prettiest.
One hundred and twenty imperial silver coins?
This is a money grab!
Gao Shaoyi opened the previous page of the system. All the weapons on it have been unlocked. Only weapons that are thirty years more advanced than this world need to be unlocked for a fee.
If it is an existing weapon in this world, even if it only has a blueprint, it can be exchanged at any time.
An old-fashioned rifle that is exactly the same as before only requires ten merit points, which is ten imperial silver coins.
Gao Shaoyi was shocked at this time. If he exchanged it by himself, wouldn't it be 12 times the profit?
Unlocking 98k requires 200,000 imperial silver coins. I thought it was an astronomical figure just now, but now it seems like it is nothing.
