Official Edition Part Two Chapter Nineteen Seven Seas Overlord
…One day later (virtual time)…
Now that this test has officially begun, our team must of course formulate a perfect strategic plan.
"First of all, we must determine the nation we want to help." Vice-captain Dong Dongbao spoke. The reason why he started to speak was because he had a very strong desire to express himself. As he said this, he took out six cards and posted them on the blackboard.
Seeing that everyone was looking at the card he posted with interest, Dong Dongbao smiled slightly, and then explained to everyone: "During the Age of Discovery, the first four countries successively became the world's hegemons, and Turkey was the only one.
A powerful country that controls both land and sea trade routes; and the last one, because it led the Renaissance, has unparalleled technological and cultural advantages during this period. The key now is which one of them we should help."
"Italy, I like tasteful countries." The little speaker immediately chose his favorite country.
"Why is there no France? I like its romance." Xiaowen also expressed her opinion.
"I like India, there are many beauties." Yuxiang, probably because she has watched too many recent Asan movies, in fact, the majority of Indian ugly women are still there. Besides, there are so many beauties in this place, so why is she excited?
"I like America." Xiaozhu made a look like the Statue of Liberty, which almost made me spit out. But I still had to explain to him that in this historical era, there is no nation of America in the world. If he is willing,
In the near future, he could also lead the American Revolutionary War.
Now it's just me, Xiaoma Ge and Meijuan who haven't expressed their opinions yet.
So based on the principle of ladies first, Dong Dongbao asked Meijuan for her opinion. After pondering for a moment, Meijuan took off the British sign. Then she told us very confidently:
"In 1530, at this period in history, the most powerful country was Spain, but in the next hundred years, it was England that would truly dominate the world. I believe everyone has heard of the reputation of the empire on which the sun never sets." Meijuan is worthy of her name.
Talented woman, this analysis is really to the point. I remember there was a book called "Looking for Qin" a hundred years ago, which told everyone that in the theme of returning to the past, if you want to live a good life, the best way is to follow history.
The trend is because it has the lowest risk and the highest benefit. Therefore, Meijuan’s proposal has won the approval of many team members.
Next, everyone’s eyes fell on Brother Ma and I.
"Team leader, you'd better express your opinion." The host Dong Dongbao spoke. How could I not express my opinion?
"No matter from any angle, we should help the Ming Dynasty." As soon as this statement came out, it really caused a thousand waves, and everyone immediately started talking.
This time it was Xiaowen who raised the objection: "Brother Chen, if it were 1430 now, I would still agree with you, but now it is 1530. China has been stagnant for a hundred years and has fallen far behind in all aspects.
to the world.”
"And we are now in the most corrupt Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The court is corrupt and people's livelihood is in decline. It is very difficult." Dong Dongbao is familiar with Chinese history, and his export is indeed extraordinary. But I also have my own opinions.
"Yes, but you all got it from books. Don't forget, the world we live in is modeled on human history, but it does not mean it is human history. Everyone saw Zheng Zhilong not long ago
According to real history, this character should have appeared more than a hundred years later, but he did appear. The process of history is often a matter of thousands of miles. When everyone hopes to determine their own strategy according to the process of history, they do not.
It has already fallen behind it. So if we want to transcend history, we can only catch it by its tail."
"Haha, what a little braid about grasping history. In fact, we can only beat others by taking a dangerous path." Brother Ma finally spoke.
"Then why don't we go and catch the braids of the Black Africans, or the Mayans, or the Aztecs?" This little speaker, I don't know when he became so humorous. So I replied: "Even if you are looking for the unpopular ones, you have to look for them."
It has a solid foundation. The Ming Empire at this moment is not weak, but is in a period of transformation. Black Africans and Native Americans are primitive societies. Do you know what primitive societies are?"
At this time, Meijuan's pager suddenly made a rapid sound, interrupting our conversation. After a moment, she suddenly raised her head with joy, and then said to us: "It was Han who called me."
, he, Simon and Wei Ao are all here."
"Is it S3?" When I heard Meijuan calling Bai Shaoxiahan affectionately, I felt really chilled.
"What's s3? Those are what others call them. In fact, they are just three very good friends. But they are really amazing. They were all selected to become leaders of the Chinese Students' Federation and established a headquarters in Beijing.
.In fact, everyone knows that Simon is Spanish, but even so, people are willing to help us... In short, with them, there must be a way to solve the problem."
In fact, Meijuan's words meant that she agreed with my suggestion to assist the Ming Dynasty. But I don't know why, I didn't seem happy at all. So I asked angrily: "Is there a good way to save the country in s3?"
"Hey, to tell you the truth. They have all entered the imperial court now, and plan to join the cabinet and become cabinet ministers within this year." Meijuan seemed very proud when talking about these friends of hers. Dong Dongbao on the side also looked at her with excitement.
Liang Liang said: "If we go there now and pass the imperial examination or something, within three years, wouldn't it mean that the DPRK will be our world?"
"I plan to go south." Just when they were talking lively, I poured out a basin of cold water and put everything out.
"Chen Shi, are you crazy? Instead of being a high official in the imperial court, why not go to the south where bandits are rampant?" Seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao staring at me with a pair of dead fish eyes, I couldn't help but smile sadly in my heart.
"One of the main reasons why the Ming Dynasty closed the country to the outside world was the border troubles from the north and the south. However, the Ming Dynasty emperor believed that the Mongolians in the north were a thorn in their side, while the Japanese pirates in the south were a pain in the neck. So the Ming Dynasty banned the sea and built the Great Wall. But how did they know that outside the sea
This is the real vast world.”
"Then your plan is..."
Meijuan's distrustful eyes stung me, so I answered loudly: "First of all, I will go to the south to organize a fleet to fight against Japanese pirates, so that within ten years, China will never have Japanese invaders. At the same time, I will strive to become the number one businessman in China.
Let capital change everything..."
"Team leader, according to my investigation, Japan may have entered the Azuchi-Momoyama era ahead of schedule. The enemy you face will be the strongest samurai group in Japan under the leadership of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and I heard
It is said that a team composed of elites from famous Japanese universities such as the University of Tokyo and Waseda University has also entered this world. They will represent Japan in this competition..." Seeing me so excited, Dong Dongbao reminded me: "I
Personally, I think that without the support of the imperial court, it would be really difficult for this plan to succeed."
"What hope can there be in the decadent Ming Dynasty? Since Japan can appear heroes in advance, it is natural that our China will be slightly adjusted. When we first entered the test world ten years ago (virtual time), I started from
Zheng Zhaizhai heard that the 17-year-old Dengzhou Guard Commander Qian Shi was quite talented. He went to Jizhou to guard the border and repeatedly built strange attacks. He was a rare general. Later I went back to check the book and found out that this young general was actually
It’s the famous Qi Huhu Qi Jiguang. Haha, if you add in Zheng Chenggong’s six-year-old son Zheng Chenggong, a few Japanese samurai are nothing.” This thing is really beyond my expectation, but it is really beyond my expectation.
The other thing is that the usually wretched little Ma Ge actually has such a scheme. As he said, maybe we can find more surprises when we go south.
At this time, Xiaowen suddenly asked me out of curiosity: "Actually, our group is a non-staff group, and the task of developing China should be shouldered by top students from Tsinghua University and Peking University. Who doesn't know that China's political corruption and cruelty during the Jiajing period... Team leader, you
Isn’t your judgment always very good? What happened today?”
Hearing this question, I just smiled crookedly, then stood up and walked slowly to the window. I stared at the scenery outside for a long time, and then answered: "Xiaowen, because I am a descendant of the Yanhuang people."
Ah." Actually, I don't know whether my decision is good or bad, but even if my motherland is really that bad, I still hope to give it a try.
Although the grand strategy of assisting the Ming Dynasty was set, Meijuan, Dong Dongbao and Xiaoxiao still insisted that they should go north to take the imperial examination, and then took the opportunity to pay a visit to Emperor Jiajing, hoping to get help from the royal family; and I, Xiao Ma, Xiao Xiao
Zhu, Youxiang, and Xiaowen decided to go south, join up with Zheng Zhilong, and unite with the anti-Japanese forces on the southeast coast to change the situation in China's maritime areas.
The opinions were not unanimous, so our group had to divide into two groups. But this was also the best plan in my mind. Because this way our group could have one more way to spread risks, and it also allowed Dong Dongbao and his team, who have always been good at high-level work, to use their talents.
expertise.
"Commander, what is our plan to go south?" After Meijuan left, Xiaozhu couldn't wait to shout loudly. Judging from his eagerness, he seemed to be full of expectations for the future.
"Perhaps everyone is looking forward to going to Dengzhou to visit Qi Jiguang or going to Fujian to meet Zheng Zhilong." Hearing my words, everyone nodded. These two are contemporary heroes. Together with any one of them, there is no need to worry about the Japanese pirates being immortal.
However, what I said next surprised everyone.
"Japan is now in the Warring States Period when all the stars are shining, and Europe is also in a golden age of vigorous development. So just Qi Jiguang and Zheng Zhilong are not enough. So I have to transfer to Huai'an and go to Shaoxing to meet a capable person. Since this era has nothing to do with reality,
The 16th century is very much the same, so these small differences may bring some unexpected surprises.”
"Oh? Then Ah Shi, who are you going to see?" Brother Xiaoma blinked and asked me.
"Later generations of this man often only regard him as a great thinker and great educator, but they ignore that he is also a famous general. If he is in charge of Lu Jiangfang, the rear will be safe. And he has disciples all over the world.
Maybe he can recommend some talented people to us."
"Could it be that what the team leader said is..." After hearing what I said, Zhang Wen seemed to have guessed a little bit.
"Yes, this person is from Yuyao, Shaoxing. His surname is Wang Shouren and his given name is Bo'an. He calls himself Yangmingzi and is known as Mr. Yangming in the world. If there is no mistake, he is now teaching in Zhengyangmingdong."
"I don't know about Wang Yangming. In short, this is a game, and we should play it according to the rules of the game." Xiaozhu's words were still so simple and straightforward, but he was right. After all, this is not a serious history, but a global phenomenon.
It's just a game.
"So what do you think we should do?" I asked Xiaozhu curiously, presumably he had his own ideas.
"Of course we are looking for Wang Yangming. If we go by the commander's description, he must be a monster with all six dimensions (command, force, intelligence, politics, charm, reputation)."
"Haha, what are you waiting for? Let's go, brothers and sisters." After saying that, I ran towards the river port.
Seeing that we were in such good spirits, Yuxiang also became happy. She caught up with me and said loudly: "Ah Shi, can we go and see the four great talents in Jiangnan?"
"What age are you in? Even if you are alive, you are just one of the four old men in the south of the Yangtze River." I answered her loudly, but I really wanted to see it if possible.
