Volume 1: The Battleship Yitian Changes into the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 Chapter 1: Finally Crossed Over
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Sun Gang, a new urban idiot, looked at the pigtail cavalrymen with murderous eyes and confirmed one thing.
That is, I traveled through time to the Qing Dynasty.
He had just lost his job at the bank and was feeling depressed, so he wanted to go out for a trip to Dalu Island to relax. However, a storm happened and he was accidentally swept into the sea. When he finally got himself ashore, he found that everything around him had changed.
In fact, everyone is now familiar with the matter of "time travel". Some went back to the Qin Dynasty to be emperors, some went back to the Han Dynasty to be generals, some went back to the Song Dynasty to unify the world, and conservatively speaking, some went back to the Ming Dynasty to be a prince, each of whom enjoyed power and wealth heard that the furthest one went back to primitive society to be a village chief (sweating...). I'm afraid there are no dynasties that have not been traveled through yet, and he actually traveled to the last dynasty of China, the Qing Dynasty. I heard that the requirements for hairstyles in this era were quite strict, and he shaved his head for the sake of coolness before traveling. Now he is facing a team of pigtail cavalrymen with their eyes wide open. No matter what kind of explanation he gave, he felt that he couldn't get away with it.
He was just thinking about what language to use to effectively communicate with these soldiers, when the leader had already pulled out a revolver from his waist and pointed it at his head, "You don't want to tell me? Do you believe I will kill you?"
Wait?! Wait... What? A pistol?
He blinked to make sure his eyes were not blurry. When did the Qing army equip this kind of Western-style pistol? After all, he was the representative of the history class back then. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to be a time traveler if he couldn't figure this out? He racked his brains and thought hard, and basically determined that it should be after the Taiping Rebellion. No, the most likely time should be the Jiawu Year... Then again, it seems that when suppressing the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing soldiers were equipped with a lot of foreign guns and cannons, so this revolver in front of him...
"I am a student studying abroad. I came here to travel from Shen... no, Shengjing, and accidentally fell into the sea..." The moment he saw the soldier cocking the hammer of his gun, he finally thought of what to say and answered immediately.
The soldier brother was obviously not satisfied with what he said. He looked at him carefully, who was soaking wet, with a look of suspicion in his eyes. The cavalrymen around him also looked like they were ready to catch him. A whistle sounded, and he glanced at the sea. He was stunned. Suddenly a strange idea flashed through his mind. He tried his best to look calm and confident, and whispered to the soldier brother: "To be honest, I just came back from Japan and got some urgent military information. I hope you (it's so fucking awkward) can do me a favor?" As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his clothes, took out a card and showed it in front of the soldier brother.
That is actually a Dragon Card from China Construction Bank.
His idea came from a joke that he experienced personally. Once he was driving with a friend to another place to deliver goods. The place was a bit remote and they were stuck at a rural toll station. His friend pretended to be mysterious and said that he was from the National Security Bureau. As a result, they got green lights all the way to the destination. After returning, everyone talked about this incident and laughed at it. But after laughing so much, they never dared to make such a joke again.
Perhaps it was the ferocious dragon on the card that intimidated the group of people. The other party was obviously stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment, waved his hand to let the surrounding men back off, and asked in a low voice: "Since it is urgent military information, I shouldn't ask, but can you reveal a little bit?"
"A large Japanese army is heading to Korea..." He didn't finish his words because the other party looked serious and waved his hand to stop him from continuing. "This is a sensitive military matter and it is our duty. I am sorry for being rude just now. Please do as you please, sir." The soldier waved his hand and left with his men.
Watching them go away, he let out a long sigh, found a rock to sit down, and looked at the huge ships slowly approaching in the sea.
This is why he was so sure of the era he was living in and why he made up that nonsense.
He had only seen warships in foreign movies and DVDs before. He himself was considered a half-military fan. He remembered watching "Under Siege" starring Stephen Seagal. The scene of the world-famous battleship "Missouri" entering the port shocked him more than once. It was a symbol of a country's strength in the era of "big ships and big guns", but the scene that actually appeared before his eyes today made him regain the feeling of excitement that made his whole body tremble.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, he watched the towering ship like a mountain slowly approaching. The golden dragon on the bow was shining in the sun, and the circular twin-mounted huge cannon turrets placed diagonally in front and behind made the blood in his body almost boil.
When you see it with your own eyes, it's a feeling that can never be brought by a movie.
This was the first time that China, which had suffered so much at sea, had battleships. No wonder the Japanese would tremble in front of her 305mm cannon! They tried every means to get rid of her as soon as possible! They even designed a children's game to let future generations remember this fear! The gunfire from the black muzzle was enough to crush the ambitions of all invaders! At that time, China finally had more than ten years of peaceful development, and these battleships really made an indelible contribution!
As he watched the warship sail into the port, he realized that there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
After finally calming himself down, he realized his current predicament.
I am considered an old man at Qidian. Whenever I see people traveling through time, they are all powerful, wealthy and powerful. The pig feet are full of arrogance, followed by a group of younger brothers. The women around the pig feet are either queens or princesses, and they stick to the pig feet in batches. If you only have two women, you are embarrassed to say that you are a time traveler! That situation made him, who was reading the book, envious and vomited blood. He wished he could travel through time immediately, but now it is really his turn to travel through time, but he never thought it would be so funny!
Around the year of Jiawu (he is still not sure if it is the year of Jiawu), an era that is about to decline, an incompetent time traveler who has nothing and has just changed from a "white-bone spirit" (white-collar worker, backbone, elite) to a "protein" (stupid, idiot, neurotic) in his own era.
He checked his "equipment" and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
A Nokia N70 mobile phone (still working, really rare), a spare battery, a wallet with three bank cards (from CCB, BOC, CMB), some RMB, some coins, a jacket, a pair of pants, a pair of Nike sneakers (all wet, currently wearing them).
Looking at the things he brought from his previous era, he suddenly felt like buying a piece of tofu and hitting his head against it to death.
It seems that in this era, people use silver and copper coins to buy things. Even if I really want to buy a piece of tofu and commit suicide, it seems unrealistic.
Thinking back on what I can do, apart from counting money and knowing some details of this humiliating history, I really can't think of what I can do in this era.
He looked at the vast ocean and thought that perhaps it would be a . He hesitated for a long time, sighed, and gave up the idea.
A burst of laughter came from behind.
