History has taken a turn with King Shangtai. In the parallel world of Xiao Letian's previous life, King Shangtai ascended the throne at the age of four. In the eleventh year of Tongzhi, the Ryukyu Kingdom was deposed by Japan. In the fifth year of Guangxu, King Shangtai was deposed for the second time. This time he He was forcibly abducted to Kyoto, Japan.
What followed was a life of imprisonment in Tokyo. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, he no longer had any freedom. It was not until 19o1 that King Shoutai died of illness in Tokyo and was buried in Naha after his death.
It was a tragic world. Not only did the Chinese nation suffer, but the weaker Chinese vassal states were even more miserable.
Although a great country has experienced hardships, it has a rich heritage and only a group of heroes can turn the tide and reverse its destiny.
But this is not the case in a small country. The country is weak, the people are poor, and the family is extremely poor. Even if there are a few heroes, it is destined to be a tragedy in life.
But now, in the parallel world where Xiao Letian lives, everything has changed. King Shangtai took the initiative to offer his government. It seemed that he was throwing away the king's authority, but in fact, what he was throwing away was a life-seeking steel knife.
In front of the whole world, King Shangtai dedicated all his rights to the Chinese, retaining only the title of king and all benefits, which made it impossible for other careerists to deal with him.
Even if you imprison King Shangtai, even if you put a steel knife on his neck, you can't take away Ryukyu's various rights, because the power lies in the hands of the parliament and the people.
If you want to get Ryukyu's land, people, and political power, you have to snatch it from the Chinese Congress. If you want to get close to the Chinese Congress, you have to see whether you can outlast the Chinese army.
King Shangtai's business is definitely not a loss. It's a good deal to exchange those poisonous powers for a huge protective net, so that he can escape the fate of sinking and live a rich life.
Facts have proved everything. Among the chronicles of kings written by descendants of the Ryukyu royal family in later generations, King Shoutai received the most praise.
When King Sang Thai was alive, he was jointly rated by the global media as the monarch who most conformed to the historical trend in the feudal era. King Sang Thai has become a role model for the bloodless movement in the hearts of young people who later became free and democratic.
I would like to ask which king in the world is willing to give up his power? King Shangtai did it, which provided a perfect bloodless example for later dynasties to transform into other political systems.
Whether other countries learn from it or not is their business, but this precedent has appeared, and it will shine like a bright light on the history books of mankind.
King Shangtai's influence goes beyond that. Since King Shangtai has received huge financial support from the Hidden Dragon Project, he can use those funds to pursue his favorite adventure.
During Xiao Letian and Zai Chun's trip to Europe, King Shangtai's Adventure King sailed with the large troop formation along the way from Ryukyu to the Suez Canal until they parted ways at the mouth of the Nile River.
Just when Xiao Letian and Zai Chun were sweeping the headlines of European newspapers, and at the moment when the flames of the Franco-Prussian War were steaming, King Shangtai suffered a huge upset in Egypt.
The expedition team built by him with a lot of money discovered a secret treasure room in the Pyramid of Khufu and the mysterious Valley of the Kings in the rolling desert... In just half a year, King Shangtai made as many as twelve archaeological discoveries. The number of ancient Egyptian cultural relics is as high as more than 1,100.
At that time, the British Imperial Museum quickly contacted King Shangtai and attempted to purchase these cultural relics with a large sum of money. Unfortunately, King Shangtai had too much money and no place to spend it, and he did not care at all about the price offered by the British.
More than 1,100 cultural relics, two-thirds of which were transported to Ryukyu and eventually became precious collections in the Photographic Museum, while one-third were used to exchange Chinese cultural relics with the British. At that time, the British did not preserve many Chinese cultural relics. , the loss phenomenon is not that serious.
The emergence of Egypt was just the beginning. Later, King Shangtai was invited by the Queen of England and became an honorary student on the bridge and Oxford University, and could freely attend any course.
Three years of hard training allowed him to rapidly grow in knowledge, and his attainments in ancient human history were particularly impressive. He became an honorary professor in the fourth year, and published ancient cultural works such as Morning on the Nile, History of Ancient Ryukyu Culture, and more.
A king quickly became a world-class scholar, and universities across Europe and the United States all extended an olive branch, hoping that King Shang Tai could come to their schools to study and teach.
But the Adventurer King's heart would not be bound by the classroom. In the fifth year of his college life, the adventurer King, which he customized at the British Armstrong Shipyard, was finally launched and sailed successfully.
This is a giant ironclad ship with a displacement of 20,000 tons. It is specially customized for King Shangtai's adventure. It uses dual power of sails and steam turbines. The hull has a certain icebreaking capability. It has a crew of 98o, including ship operators. There are 300 people, and the rest are all members of the expedition team.
When the Adventure King appeared in the Thames Estuary, the whole of London was shocked. A ship of this size was already comparable to the large battleships of the time, and it was the first time that someone had made such a big move for exploration.
At that time, London was deserted, and major European media reported on King Shang Tai's generosity. At that time, there were more than 100 scientists who requested to join the expedition team.
The Adventurer King was basically the pinnacle of the British shipbuilding industry at that time. After three months of traveling in Europe, this expedition ship had received countless envious looks, and then headed straight to Asia, crossing the Indian Ocean and embarking on its final expedition to Australia. Detailed scientific investigation.
For a whole year, King Shangtai had a more detailed topographic map of Australia than the British. Many islands and reefs were unknown to the British.
King Shang Tai even discovered the super-large iron mine in the no-man's land of Western Australia, which was the rich mining area where Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton later started.
Of course, such a treasure must be dedicated to the Chinese people. The Super Adventure King set off into Nanyang. After being welcomed by millions of people in the Lion City, it went all the way back to Naha.
According to unofficial rumors, the Australian mine treasure map doubled King Shangtai's dividend income from the Hidden Dragon Project, and he also brought a complete set of construction drawings for the Super Adventure King.
The 120 kilograms of drawings helped the Chinese shipbuilding industry overcome 214 important technical difficulties. From that time on, the Chinese shipbuilding industry began to flourish.
King Shangtai has become a world legend at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. His Adventure King was the first expedition ship to sail around Antarctica. King Shangtai also successfully became the first person to land on Antarctica and head towards the heart of the continent. One Hundred Kilometers Explorer.
For the investigation of the Brazilian tropical rainforest, King Shangtai invested 16 expedition teams, with a total investment of 3.59 million silver dollars. Africa is one of his most important destinations, and his investment in scientific research in Africa reaches a million dollars every year.
Until the end, King Shangtai was no longer taking risks alone. He even established an adventurer company to help many scientists and expedition teams by investing. At the same time, he had the first right to use all expedition harvests.
For example, the crystal skull in the Mayan pyramids in Central America was discovered by an adventure team invested by King Shangtai. In the end, according to the previous agreement, the Museum of Photography acquired the crystal skull with first priority, completely ignoring other European counterparts. Angry curses.
The image of King Shangtai is becoming more and more mysterious. People gradually forget his original halo as a king, and only remember his titles of anthropologist, historian, archaeologist...etc.
Until the death of King Shangtai, his various biographies and various versions of bizarre legends actually formed the myth of the Adventurer King. He became the longest mysterious figure appearing in human books, movies and television works.
"The title of King of Adventure Shoutai is indeed more resounding than King Shoutai of Ryukyu. This is the choice of history, and it is also the choice of my ancestors themselves!" King Shoutai said in this book.
