The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 134 World Quest Activation

"Congratulations to the host, complete the main task 3 - Anti-Qing and Fuming, and get a chance to draw a random lottery."

The task reminder sounded in his mind, which made Wu Yan, who had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, feel better.

He was worried before that the main mission 3 must overthrow the rule of the Qing court, but now it seems that anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty is not the same as destroying the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. It is much easier than expected.

"The main quests have all been completed. Activate and unlock the world quests—the permission of the Great Ming Empire. Do you want to unlock it?"

Wu Yan hesitated a little, because the world mission was too difficult.

It was much more difficult than he had imagined when he first came to this world. The shame of the Eight Kingdoms can only be paid with blood.

With Zola's character card, and after living in this world for more than two years, he also has a deep understanding of this world.

The first industrial revolution in Europe is coming to an end, and the second industrial revolution will begin in a few years. The improvement of industrial capabilities due to electrification is unimaginable. The speed of upgrading weapons and armaments is also decades. Beyond the progress of the previous millennia.

And although he has a Zola character card, as long as he is the only one, in terms of China's current industrial capabilities, technological development speed, and even its understanding of the world, it is far behind the European powers. Not as good as Tsarist Russia and the United States.

In this case, it may take two to thirty years to complete the main mission.

"Could it be that after I get the world quest reward World Gate, will I continue to travel at the age of five or sixty? Even if I have already completed the "Nine Suns Divine Art" at that time, I am still too old."

At the time of the first crossing, his body returned to the age of 20. At the age of 25, he entered the second world for three years, and stayed in this world for more than two years. At this time, Wu Yan’s physical age is already 31 years old. up.

When he becomes an old man, will he really have the opportunity to use the opportunity of time travel to obtain the power of immortality, or even immortality?
Wu Yan recalled the reasons for his hesitation, and thought about what he had witnessed in this era, and the humiliation that Huaxia would experience in this era in his memory.

After all, he gritted his teeth.

"Activate world quests."

"The world mission Ming Empire has been activated."

The sound of the system sounded.

"The first phase of the world mission: Defend Ming Dynasty, the time limit is six months."

"The second phase of the world mission: Destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there is no deadline."

"The third stage of the world mission: Destroy the Qing court, no deadline."

"The fourth stage of the world mission: every inch of land must be fought, and there is no deadline."

"The fifth stage of the world mission: the shame of the eight countries, the only payment is blood, and there is no deadline."

"Every time the host completes a stage of the world task, he can get a fragment of the gate of the world, and get a chance to travel through it randomly once. The rules of crossing remain the same as before. After completing the main task after crossing, he can use the fragment of the gate of the world to return to the current world."

"Complete the five stages of world missions, and you can get the door to the complete world."

"The fragment of the gate of the world can bring other people back to the host's current world, and the number of people will increase with the progress of the mission stage."

"Stage [-] World Gate: One person can be carried."

"Phase [-] World Gate: Can carry two people."

"Stage Three World Gate: Can carry three people."

……

After listening to a lot of words from the system, Wu Yan couldn't help laughing out loud.

The previous hesitation and worry completely disappeared at this moment, because according to the system, he will be able to travel again in six months.

As for the second to fifth stages of the world mission, there is no deadline requirement, that is to say, as long as he completes the mission, he can continue to travel.

Although the details of the tasks in several stages are not clear at present, it will not take long to imagine. Whether it is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the Qing court, it can be completely done in a few years.

"System." Wu Yan had a new question, and asked: "I have traveled through time, so what about the time in this world? Don't tell me, after I stayed in the next world for a few years, the Was it stolen?"

The system answered Wu Yan's question very quickly and accurately this time, saying: "Before obtaining the complete world gate, when the host leaves the current world, the time of the current world is suspended. The host can understand that you use the world gate to When you return to this world, the time node you travel through is the first second after you left."

The system is suddenly easy to talk about?
Wu Yan hurriedly asked: "What about after obtaining the complete World Gate?"

But the system didn't respond, which made Wu Yan understand that his system is still the same as before, which can be said to be aloof to put it bluntly, or mentally retarded to put it bluntly.

Abandoning the inquiry system, anyway, it will be a matter of who knows how many years later, Wu Yan focused on the present.

"The time limit for defending Daming is six months. That is to say, from the system's point of view, during these six months, I will encounter the most violent attack. As long as I keep it, my Daming Empire will be temporarily stable." .”

In fact, there is no need for the system to make this prompt, Wu Yan can analyze this point himself.

First of all, because of the tense situation in the Cromia region, Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, and some European countries really don't have the energy to fight themselves now.

If they can't beat themselves, they won't come to make trouble for themselves until the end of the Cromian War.

It is even possible that because of the tense situation and war in the Cromia region, the [-] regular coalition forces of the major powers currently floating at sea will not attack themselves, but return to aid, waiting for themselves to separate from the Qing court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After the victory or defeat, the big powers will take action, and at most they will fight the autumn wind.

Secondly, the Qing court was almost unable to hold on because of the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had already fought to Tianjin.Because he fought the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing court breathed a sigh of relief and gathered troops to fight him, and it must be within six months.

After several battles with no results, the Qing court would choose to take it slowly, just like in the original historical process, the Qing court fought against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it took more than ten years to win.

Finally, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the one that threatens me the most at present. Because of the previous defeat and the death of Yang Xiuqing, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom even called back all the troops from the Northern Expedition.

In other words, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is currently closest to him, is also the most powerful.

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will definitely find a way to solve itself first, and then deal with the Qing court.Although he and the Qing court are also enemies, there is no such thing as a rebellion. The enemy of the enemy is an ally. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will inevitably use the opportunity of the Qing court to attack itself to solve the threat of itself.

To sum up, as long as the resistance lasts for six months, the war will enter a slow pace.

After thinking about this, Wu Yan started to write books.

It's not an imperial decree, because the person he wants to write to is not one of his subordinates, and should be regarded as his enemy now.

"Come here, arrange for the envoys to meet Zeng Guofan in secret."

……

It's not that Zeng Guofan never thought that he could receive a letter from Zao Wou-ki, this was within the expectation of him and his staff.

In the case of rebellion, the real enemy is actually only the current emperor, that is, the Qing court represented by Emperor Xianfeng. Others, including the ministers in the court, and even the generals who lead the army to suppress the rebellion, can actually become allies.

But because of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the real enemy of Wu Yan's rebellion is Chen Xiuquan.

But what Zeng Guofan never expected was that the contents of this letter were not at all what he and his staff expected.

"prime minister?"

The first thing that Zeng Guofan didn't expect was that Zao Wou-ki said that he would be made the Prime Minister, in charge of all the government affairs of the Ming Empire, which is the so-called one person under ten thousand people.

But Zeng Guofan and his staff did not discuss this position, not only because it was just a verbal rhetoric, but also because of another matter mentioned in the letter.

In general, there are actually only five words.

"Constitutional Monarchy?"

Zeng Guofan was a little confused when he saw these five words, because he couldn't understand them.

However, there are many talents in the Hunan Army. If it is not because the history has been changed, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang can be regarded as trained by the Hunan Army. Among the four famous ZTE ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, the Hunan Army occupied three.

Li Hongzhang founded the Huai Army with the help of Zeng Guofan.

Another reason why Zhang Zhidong has no contact with the Hunan Army is also related to the fact that Zhang Zhidong is only 17 years old at this time, and Jie Yuan, who was only admitted to Shuntianfu last year, has something to do with him. He is from the same era as the previous three people, but not of an era.

A staff member with a fairly good understanding of world history said with bright eyes, "My lord, I know what a constitutional monarchy is. Britain is a country with a constitutional monarchy."

U.K?

People in the Qing Dynasty at this time were very familiar with Britain. After all, the Qing court fought against Britain in the first Opium War.

Hearing that it was a system used by the powerful United Kingdom, Zeng Guofan asked more carefully.

"The so-called constitutional monarchy, in short, means that the monarch rules but does not rule." The staff excitedly introduced: "The British system can actually be called a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. All laws are enacted by parliament. There is no right to intervene. Then the parliament elects the cabinet, which is in charge of executive power and is responsible for handling government affairs. The monarch also has no right to intervene, and the head of the cabinet is the prime minister.”

Zeng Guofan's breathing became heavier. Compared to when he knew that Zao Wou-ki was going to make him the Prime Minister, he thought it was a position under one person and above ten thousand people. Now it sounds like there is no one below one person, only above ten thousand people. ah.

"How did Parliament arise?"

"Parliament is composed of members, and the composition of members is a bit complicated. As far as I know, members of parliament in the UK include nobles, businessmen, and even ordinary people who are elected."

"election?"

"Yes, all citizens have the right to vote. They can vote for members of parliament, and then the members of parliament will represent them, and pass various laws by voting on proposals."

"So, MPs are still powerful people."

"Yes, only powerful people can get votes. The possibility of ordinary people becoming members of parliament is very low."

"Then this is similar to us." After Zeng Guofan understood, he suddenly asked: "Do you think that Zao Wou-ki is really willing to rule but not rule?"

A staff member replied without hesitation: "I definitely don't want to, because the key to rule but not rule lies in military power. How could Zao Wou-ki be willing to hand over military power?"

"Yes, yes, Zao Wou-ki was born as a champion of martial arts. He also said that he was invincible in the world. This is obviously a person who is keen on commanding soldiers and fighting. If he does not hand over his military power, what is the real power of the parliament and cabinet?" What about power? It’s not that he can do what he says.”

"I think Zao Wou-ki should be willing to rule but not rule." An aide said: "Think about it, what he said in the proclamation: never live above the court, and always take the lead in every battle. Therefore, Although Zao Wou-ki ascended the throne as emperor, he regarded himself as a military commander, after all, his reign name only has the word 'Wu'. Under such circumstances, how would he have the energy and time to deal with government affairs?"

This analysis moved Zeng Guofan's heart inexplicably.

Unlike the British who have become accustomed to a constitutional monarchy, where the monarch ruled but not ruled, the people of the Qing Dynasty at this time were still very accustomed to having an emperor on top of their heads.

Compared with Emperor Xianfeng, who has military power and regime with both hands, Emperor Zhao Wuji, who likes to fight, is more liked by civil servants.

As for the waste of people and money in war?

Zeng Guofan, who was able to form the Hunan Army, was not an ordinary civil servant. He would not think so. In his opinion, now is the time when we have to fight.

Another staff member said: "But the battle will be over one day, it is actually difficult for Zhao Wuji to accomplish anything now, but with our help, coupled with his invincible military ability, it is very possible... At that time, he will Won't you intervene in government affairs and restore the monarchy when there is no battle to fight?"

Someone in the Hunan army said: "But how old should he be at that time? Even if Zhao Wuji is the best in the world, it is impossible for him to live forever. As long as he has a certain amount of power, it doesn't matter what he says." After all, wars cost money, and if you control government affairs, you will control money. Even if he forcibly restores the monarchy, will his descendants still be able to fight like him?"

"Yes, Zao Wou-ki is mortal, but the constitutional monarchy allows us to have more power."

"Perhaps, Zao Wou-ki was shot to death when he took the lead, and Zao Wou-ki has no offspring yet, wouldn't that be..."

Zeng Guofan was a powerful figure among the landlord class.

This sentence is enough to explain why these people think this way. The landlord class is also the gentry class, and they have always been eager to gain more power.

A constitutional monarchy is the system that best suits their interests.

Zeng Guofan heard the analysis of these staff members, and felt the changes in the tone of these staff members and the top officials of the Hunan Army, and his heart moved accordingly.

prime minister?

It sounds like it's pretty good.
