The Song Dynasty is located in the south subtropical region, surrounded by small and backward barbarian countries, and has no decent land warfare opponents. Therefore, for a long time, the army in the Song Dynasty has been good at the navy, and the navy has been equipped with advanced steam battleships and internal combustion motors.
Powered submarines were the main ones, and fighting relied on technology rather than bravery. How could the common people living in peace in Song Dynasty have seen such battle-hardened, fierce and savage warriors as the Red Shirts?
There were only fifty people in Liu Ziguang's personal bodyguards. They were all of different heights. They were all covered with fleshy faces, covered with scars, and had vulgar looks. Their exposed arms had bulging muscles and various tattoos. They stood on the side of the ship and sang loudly.
, the voice was bold and passionate, with a faint hint of murderous intent, and the onlookers cheered frequently.
The people of the Song Dynasty were driven to the islands by the iron hoofs of the Mongols, so they sympathized with the Ming Dynasty, which was being invaded by the Qing Dynasty. They had special respect for these warriors who bravely resisted the foreign invaders, and they worshiped the famous Liu Ziguang.
Various narratives, scripts, and songs about Liu Ziguang's great achievements are very popular in the Song Dynasty. Whether it is scholars, bureaucrats, or common people, they all subconsciously regard Liu Ziguang as the incarnation of Yue Fei. Today, Liu Ziguang's image is also extremely processed.
He was well-dressed and dressed according to the clay sculptures in the Yuewang Temple. In addition, he also had the title of Prince Shaobao, so the people who watched the excitement in Song Dynasty naturally chose him as the Shaobao among the long list of official titles.
Bao as a title, affectionately called him: Liu Shaobao.
"The book says that Liu Shaobao is the reincarnation of Grandpa Yue. I think it's reliable. You see, his armor and uniform are the same as Grandpa Yue's." said a dock worker with "Baha" linen wrapped around his waist.
"I don't think he looks like it. Grandpa Yue has a long beard with five locks, but Liu Shaobao has no beard." said a fisherman wearing rubber shoes.
"Ignorance, Liu Shaobao is only twenty-five or six years old, why should he grow a long beard? Besides, Grandpa Yue didn't have a beard when he was young. To judge whether a person is resembling or not, it is not only the appearance, but more importantly the temperament, do you understand?
Understood, I think Liu Shaobao is the young Grandpa-in-law."
A scholar wearing a white silk shirt said with disdain, and everyone around him nodded in agreement.
A good military parade turned into a singing competition. The strawberry soldiers stationed in the Song Dynasty were no match for the red shirt regiment. This gave both Liu Ziguang and the Ming Dynasty a face-saving fight. The secret contest in the first game was considered a win.
After the ceremony, officials from the Song Dynasty invited Liu Ziguang to the city on a special train. There was a light narrow-gauge urban railway from the pier to Xinbianjing City. Liu Ziguang rode in a soft-seat carriage specially reserved for the royal family of the Song Dynasty. It was extremely luxurious and equipped with electric...
Fans, ice buckets, and various fruits and drinks were placed on the small table next to the window. Through the glass window, you could see the exotic scenery outside. The officials sent by the Song Dynasty official to accompany Liu Shaobao were the same people he had dealt with in Shanghai.
Zhao Kang, the second son of the royal family and captain of the Navy.
Juxtaposed with the light rail is a gray road. The road surface is very smooth, with thin gaps at regular intervals. The road is busy and lively. On both sides of the road are small buildings made of bamboo and wood, colorful wine shops, and signboards.
There are a dazzling array of advertisements, and people wearing tropical costumes are walking around. Sometimes there are Westerners, people from the Ming Dynasty, and Japanese people. The bustling level is even worse than that of Shanghai.
In the distance is a gray city. The city wall is not high, but there are no traces of masonry. It looks like it is carved from a single piece of stone. Seeing Liu Ziguang's doubtful face, Zhao Kang smiled.
Bai Ya smiled and explained: "The city of New Bianjing is made of iron bars and stone mud. It is as solid as gold and indestructible. The stone mud is made of volcanic ash. Add water, stir it, and add yellow sand to solidify it into rows.
It is a specialty of our travels to Song Dynasty."
Liu Ziguang suddenly realized what I thought it was. It turned out to be made of cement concrete. This thing is good. He will try to steal the technology back later.
The light rail passes through Wengcheng and enters Bianjing City. There are different atmospheres inside and outside the city. The streets are neat and straight, the Tamsui River with cement banks stretches gracefully, and there are many architectural styles of shops, restaurants, teahouses, hooks and tiles.
Islamic style, Western European style, Song and Ming style, everything is available. In the center of the city is a large building complex with red walls and golden tiles, elegant and gorgeous. It is the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty. This palace complex is no matter compared to the Forbidden City in Nanjing
The imperial palace in Beijing is much smaller, but its small size and exquisiteness have a unique flavor.
Liu Ziguang and his followers stayed at Guanyi, three streets away across from the palace. The sailors on the ten warships still lived on board, taking turns to go ashore for tourism and recreation. The perimeter of Guanyi where Liu Ziguang stayed was guarded by the imperial army from the Song Dynasty.
There was a red tassel hanging from their shoulders. Zhao Kang introduced that soldiers dressed in this way are called military police. They can not only take care of the common people, but also other soldiers and government officials. Their authority is very large. As for why the military police are sent to protect Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Kang was hesitant and unwilling to say anything about the mission to the DPRK. He didn't tell Liu Ziguang, but he also understood that he had killed many soldiers from the Song Dynasty in Shanghai and Jiangyin, and that he had a long-standing feud with the Qing Army, a radical organization in their army.
of.
The function of the military police was demonstrated that night. Liu Ziguang, who had returned from attending a reception banquet held by the Song Dynasty court, was surrounded by a large group of people at the entrance of the post house. These people had dark skin and many tattered clothes.
It looked like they were civilized local natives. They accused Liu Ziguang in unskilled Chinese and asked Liu Ziguang to return the lives of their relatives. It turned out that they were relatives of the soldiers from the Song Dynasty who died in Jiangyin. These natives were obviously instigated.
When they arrived, they could vaguely see young men with fierce eyes moving around behind them. The military police used their rifle barrels and scabbards to suppress them without mercy, clearing a way for Liu Ziguang, but the civilians did not smash the fruit randomly.
Rotten eggs and the like, they just sat around on the ground outside the hotel, and lit small candles at night to continue. They did not do anything excessive, and the military police did not interfere. They were allowed to sit outside the hotel, and maybe give Liu Ziguang some food.
Diantu was also tacitly approved by the Song Dynasty court.
The reception banquet held just now was very boring. Since it was not a formal meeting occasion, the senior officials in the Song Dynasty just wore diplomatic smiles on their faces and talked meaningless official nonsense. Liu Ziguang was so depressed after just one meal, even though he was already
It was time after dinner, but the tropical sunshine was still strong. Liu Ziguang was sitting in the hotel with his eyes wide open, bored. Liu Xiaomao was hiding in the air-conditioned room filled with ice cubes and fell asleep without paying any attention to him. What could he do?
What? Why not sneak out and stroll around the exotic streets, but there are so many military police and civilians outside, and if you go out like this, there will be trouble. Liu Ziguang thought about it, and his eyes fell on a carriage delivering fresh fruit to Guanyi.
above……
Half an hour later, Liu Ziguang appeared on the streets of Xinbianjing, wearing a linen short-sleeved collarless dress called "Kanggang" on his upper body, a "Baha" around his lower body, and a cigar in his mouth.
He looked just like the local Han people who were idle. He didn't bring a musket or a sword, and none of the guards followed him. It was a lot of fun to drown himself in the crowd. The common language in Bianjing City was a slightly modified Central Plains Mandarin. The Southern Song Dynasty court
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants came to the Song Dynasty, overwhelming the local indigenous people not only militarily, but also culturally and economically. Chinese became the first language, but the Han people also accepted the indigenous customs and habits in some aspects, such as the Tu people
Clothing, such short-sleeved clothes and aprons are very cool to wear and are suitable for the local humid and hot climate. Therefore, it is normal for Liu Ziguang to have Han facial features and wear indigenous clothes. No one knows him on the street, and no one knows this.
The eye-catching young man is Liu Shaobao of the Ming Dynasty who came to the Song Dynasty during the day and was constantly talked about by the people.
Liu Shaobao hid under the carriage delivering fruit and slipped out. As soon as the carriage left the street where the post was located, he jumped out and walked on the road majestically. It felt good not to have heavy weapons or armor on him. He was surrounded by
It feels better when no one knows him. Liu Ziguang pocketed a bag of gold coins from the Song Dynasty in his waist and was considering where to go to play. Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the alley next to him. He was so fast that he couldn't stop his feet.
It happened to be plunged into his arms. The man raised his head, looked at each other, and they both said at the same time: "It's you!"
It turned out to be Dugu Wen, the captain of the Black Pearl. She looked at Liu Ziguang, then looked at the eaves of the hotel that shone under the setting sun in the distance, and suddenly realized: "You came with that young security guard."
"Um...yeah, you?" Before Liu Ziguang finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps from the alley. Dugu Wen quickly grabbed Liu Ziguang's arm and said, "Quickly, someone is arresting me."
Liu Ziguang secretly said to you, you are a dignified princess, are you still worried about being arrested? The people who come are probably imperial guards or something, but it is quite fun for him. He has fun with the princess who is traveling in Song Dynasty. It will be a good story if he tells it, so
He simply allowed Dugu Wen to pull him and run away.
