Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

Rong Hong took the book boy with him and quickly walked out of the crowded Shangluhai Port.

He came to a newsstand selling goods on the street, bought a copy of the "Ta Kung Pao" in the concession, and read it carefully.

As a member of the Westernization faction in this country who has opened his eyes to the world, and as a Chinese official who was discriminated against by the Daqing nationality with braided hair, when he heard the words "Chinese forces" and "Taiping Society" from the book boy's mouth, he

A strong curiosity emerged in my heart.

"What?"

He had just read the beginning and his heart was filled with shock.

"The leader of the Taiping Society is actually called Hong Tiangui!"

"Isn't this the name of the Young Heavenly King?"

"But wasn't this young king killed by the governor of Sunan?"

At the beginning of the extra information, although the detailed origin of the Yinzhou Taiping Society was not stated, it was mentioned that the name of the current leader of the Taiping Society was "Hong Tiangui."

Perhaps most people in Daqing do not know the meaning of this name, but they must know the father of this name, Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Rebellion who once cholera ravaged the entire southeast of Daqing.

And Rong Hong, who had an indissoluble bond with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then, naturally understood the connotation of the name "Hong Tiangui" better than ordinary people.

Although he couldn't be 100% sure because he had no evidence.

But since it is called this name, and the word "Taiping" is added to the name of the force it founded, Rong Hong feels that his guess is probably accurate.

Thinking back to those days, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Rong Hong's eyes.

At that time, the Taiping Rebellion was still in its infancy, and Rong Hong was far less mature than he is now.

He traveled to Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Rebellion, and even wrote a letter to Hong Xiuquan, a wise and powerful man who had not yet fallen into the poison of faith at that time.

Education system, etc." The seven suggestions were not all adopted only because of the fierce war situation at that time.

Later, he discovered that the general situation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not good. When he left, Hong Xiuquan, who had already initially fallen into the poison of belief, did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he took the initiative to eliminate traces of his activities in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Otherwise, he would not have been able to return to Daqing as an official.

.

Therefore, no matter what other people of this era thought, Rong Hong himself had a good impression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"It's just that how could the greedy St. George Kingdom give such a huge piece of land to the Taiping Society?"

He once traveled to the United States of America to study at university, and it was also there that he met his current Gallic wife. This gave him a completely different view of the world where heroes are competing with each other than most Eastern bureaucrats.

The greed and arrogance of the people of St. George have been mentioned many times by America's classmates and teachers. How could they use a huge piece of territory to give away gifts?

"Could it be that the Taiping Society forced..."

Rong Hong, who suddenly had this idea flashing through his mind, was stunned and stood there blankly.

On the busy street, Rong Hong felt goosebumps rising from head to toe. He looked at the three characters "Hong Tiangui" in the newspaper again in disbelief and couldn't help but think.

"Perhaps I should go to Canada, where the Taiping Society is located, to take a look!"

······

————————————————————

“The colony of Canada was given to the Chinese Taiping Society by King St. Joe VII!”

On the day when the "Baby in Gaul" set out, the news that came back from the Old Continent of Opalo shook the sky above the entire Daqing Dynasty like thunder.

First, there was a lot of discussion in various cities with concessions from 19 countries, and then it quickly spread to the upper echelons of the entire dynasty.

Beiping, the capital of the Daqing Dynasty, is the splendid and majestic Forbidden City.

"Everyone, get up!"

Behind the door curtain woven with jade and pearls, a middle-aged woman with an aloof temperament and a pair of hawk-like eyes was holding a young emperor in a dragon robe. She was paying serious attention to the braided princes and Chinese ministers who were prostrate under the throne.

said the voice.

After the previous Emperor Guangxu was deposed, the woman on the throne in front of him had become the most powerful person in this Eastern country. Her words made everyone in the court dare not neglect them. They quickly stood up and braided their hair according to the pattern.

They were divided into ethnic groups and Chinese ethnic groups. They stood in two rows and bowed in response.

"Yes, Lafayette."

Seeing how obedient the princes and ministers were, the majestic eagle-eyed woman on the throne nodded with satisfaction.

She ordered the eunuchs beside her to move a very large "Exploration Map of All Nations" that stood upright on a wooden frame from the side hall and placed it in the center of the main hall where everyone could see it.

"In recent days, the news about the Yinzhou Taiping Society has been spreading in the capital."

Lafayette pointed with his ivory-glove-covered hand to the gloomy-faced elderly minister who was the first in line among the Chinese ministers.

"Liu Qing's family!"

"You come forward and point your fingers at the Ai family and the clan ministers."

"Where is the Canadian colony of St. George and the 'Pacific Peace Society'?"

The minister surnamed Liu named by the aloof woman is Liu Hongzhang. He is currently the leader of the Westernization faction in the court. He strongly advocated the introduction of government-run factory policies, which greatly enhanced the industrial strength of Daqing, a decadent dynasty.

"Lafayette, colleagues."

Liu Hongzhang first walked to the center of the map, saluted the woman on the throne and the surrounding princes and ministers, and then came to the "Exploration Map of All Nations". He pointed his finger across Daqing at the bottom and the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the map, and pointed at the huge island at the top.

land.

"This land, Canada, gifted by King St. George, is right here!"

The eyes of all the princes and ministers in the hall followed the place where his finger was pointing. After discovering that the end point he was pointing to was already far away from Daqing and had to cross thousands of miles of sea waves, their slightly nervous eyes suddenly relaxed a little.

"Lord Buddha, this Taiping Society is tens of thousands of miles away from Daqing, just like the United States of Lanfang in the past."

Prince Qing, who represented the clan of the braided man, stepped forward, hung large strings of white jade beads around his neck, and spoke respectfully to the eagle-eyed woman behind the emerald pearl curtain.

"The land is vast but the resources are scarce. It is not worthy of our Daqing Kingdom to pay more attention to!"

"No, no!"

At this time, the Chinese minister Liu Hongzhang refuted Prince Qi Qing's words and said loudly.

"Dear clan members and old princes, do you know who the leader of the Taiping Association, Hong Tiangui, is?"

"That's the legitimate son of the traitor Hong Xiuquan!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed to the woman on the throne behind him.

"Your Majesty Liu Hongzhang, I would like to report this to the old Buddha!"

"Rebels are lurking on the other side of the ocean, and the formation of the Beiyang Navy fleet is imperative!"

His words successfully aroused the shock of all the princes and ministers in the hall. Even the woman on the throne opened her mouth slightly to express shock.

Wow! Wow!······

At this time, the little emperor in the woman's arms suddenly began to howl and cry, making the atmosphere in the entire court room even more lonely and strange...

Ten days later, Cixi, the Empress Dowager of the capital of Daqing, issued an edict, specifically ordering Liu Hongzhang, minister of the Taiping Premier Yamen, to create the Beiyang Navy Fleet, which kicked off the short-lived construction wave of the modern navy at the end of the Daqing Dynasty...
