The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 262 The Half Morning of Juanfu

In the third year of Emperor Wudi of the Ming Dynasty, the first month of winter and the ninth month.

Benny-Dickett-Ambroseus, British nobleman, has the title of Viscount.

When he came to the Ming Empire on the land of China, he never imagined that he would stay in this country for nearly three years.

Originally, his mission was to come to China to witness the existence of "martial arts" with his own eyes, to confirm that the ancient eastern country that had not experienced the industrial revolution still had mysterious and extraordinary power, and then he had to return to England.

But it is very easy to witness the existence of "martial arts" with his own eyes. The elite soldiers of the Ming Empire knew martial arts. No matter when he was in Tokyo before or later in Nanjing, he could see some flying over the walls in the city, jumping more than ten meters A distant patrolling guard.

I even saw several times that the so-called gangsters were doing things in Tokyo and Nanjing, and then fought with the patrol guards.

But it is very difficult to learn 'martial arts'.

Yes, Viscount Benny wanted to learn martial arts after confirming that there was martial arts in China, which is not as good as magic, but more real than the magic that had disappeared for nearly 100 years.

For this reason, he even learned the Chinese language in half a year, and even gave himself a Chinese name.

But it's a pity that he can't learn martial arts.

Even because of the large number of practitioners, he not only bought the first four levels of cheat books of "Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Covers" that had been thoroughly spread, but also paid a lot of money to hire a master who has reached the fourth level. teaching.

He still can't learn.

"Juan Fu, like many people, you have no talent in martial arts." After taking a lot of money, the master said the truth: "The most important thing in martial arts is talent. To achieve success in practice, you have to start at an early age, and you are already in your 20s, and you have already missed the best time to practice martial arts... You must know that if practicing martial arts is so simple, there will be countless masters in the world."

When it was decided that there was no hope for martial arts training, Juan Fu was about to leave Daming Kingdom.

However, one day before he left, he accidentally entered the state of meditation when he was practicing the inner strength method of "Thirteen Taibao Henglian Golden Bell Cover".

As a result, he felt the magical energy handed down by word of mouth from his ancestors and related literature records.

And that day happened to be the time when Wu Yan returned from his previous time travel.

There is no need to say much about the joy at that time. What is worth mentioning is that because of the inconvenient communication, Juan Fu didn't know that day, and it wasn't just that he felt the magical energy while meditating.

From Juan Fu's point of view, this is an outstanding person in Huaxia, and it is directly related to his cultivation of inner strength and mind.

Although he failed to develop his inner strength, his inner strength helped him meditate.

So he is unwilling to leave Daming Kingdom, he wants to accumulate his own magical energy as much as possible.

"Why hasn't the family come yet?"

After meditating for an hour in the morning, Curly Blessing used a water-based magic refreshedly. After condensing a teacup of pure water, he was exhausted, but he drank it contentedly.

Although this little water doesn't quench thirst at all, and it tastes the same when you drink it, the sensory experience is completely different.

So Juan Fu was very strange, why after he sent a letter to his family members in a secret language, his family members did not come to Daming Kingdom to look for him as crazy as he imagined.

It has been two years since the letter was sent, enough time for his family to send vanguard troops to Huaxia.

But his letters seemed to have disappeared into the sea, without any news or anyone.

If he didn't bring enough money when he came here, and he didn't have the habit of spending money extravagantly except for practicing martial arts, he would have nothing to eat now.

After going to the bathroom to wash with tap water, Juan Fu tidied up his clothes, took a hat and scarf, and left his residence in a windbreaker.

The place where he lives is a newly built apartment building. The room size is not big, it can be regarded as two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, without a kitchen.

Because in the apartment buildings in the new district of Nanjing City, open flames are not allowed except for kerosene lamps.

When he walked from the fifth floor to the lobby on the first floor, Juan Fu saw a notice.

"Aren't kerosene lamps even allowed? Only electric lamps?"

Frowning after reading, Juan Fu sighed in his heart.

It wasn't because he couldn't pay the electricity bill or buy electric lights, but because he once again felt the speed of technological progress of the Ming Empire.

He also learned the word technology in the Ming Empire.

In addition to magic and martial arts, the rapid changes of the Ming Empire are also one of the main reasons why he does not want to leave.

"When I left the UK, I had never heard of such a thing as an electric light. There was just something called an electric candle, but it was never really promoted. However, in just a few years, electric lights in the Ming Empire have begun to be used by civilians. Most importantly, it means that they already have a complete power supply system..."

Electric candles can also be regarded as a kind of electric light, which was invented by the British in 1810, but due to reasons such as service life, manufacturing costs, and the absence of power supply systems, it cannot be really popularized.

The electric light was invented in 1854, that is, last year, but its service life is only 400 hours, and it cannot be really promoted.

In the original history, it was not until 1878 that someone in the UK manufactured a vacuum bulb, and then began to promote it in the UK.

At this time, it was the end of 1856, three years after Emperor Wu of the Ming Empire, but already had light bulbs and a basic power supply system.

Curly Fu's exclamation was justified.

After leaving the apartment building, the flat and clean asphalt road and the opposite apartment building came into Juan Fu's eyes.

This street is connected by six-story apartment buildings with exactly the same shape. The asphalt road is 30 meters wide, divided into driveways and pedestrian walkways, with cement flower beds planted with green plants in the middle, and street lights on the side of the road.

If you look at it as a modern person, you will never think that this is 1855.

"It's incredible. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, how could you believe that this street and this new city, no, the new district that His Majesty said was built in one year?"

When Juan Fu was amazed, he naturally thought of the title of His Majesty the Emperor. At this time, the British Empire was still ruled by the Queen, so the Emperor in his heart could only be Wu Yan.

This is the charisma of personality, although Juan Fu has never met Wu Yan in the true sense, only a dozen times from afar.

After walking several hundred meters, Juan Fu finally left the neighborhood where he lived.

We came to the block where the embassies of various countries are located.

In fact, the entire Nanjing New City only has three blocks. After all, time is limited. Even if China has been described as an infrastructure madman since ancient times, it is impossible to really build a new city.

In addition to the apartment complex and the embassy area, the new city has only one business area.

It can be understood as a combination of shopping malls and pedestrian streets, and is currently in the trial stage of opening.

When Juan Fu arrived at the British embassy, ​​the embassy had just opened. Originally, he should have come here every night, but last night his magic power had a breakthrough, and finally reached the level where he could condense 1 liter of water. not coming.

"Is there a letter from me?"

"Mr. Viscount, I am sorry that there is no letter from you."

"Thank you, by the way, remember to call me by my Chinese name, Juan Fu."

"Mr. Viscount, this is the British embassy, ​​those annoying Chinese people can't hear it." The staff of the embassy said helplessly: "Although we were driven to live here by them, at least we are safe here. Worried about being beaten on the street and being discriminated against by them..."

Curly Fu shook his head without explaining.

There is an essential difference between him coming here and other foreigners coming here.

The apartment buildings in the entire new district are basically filled with foreigners. More than half of the thousands of foreigners in Nanjing City moved here after the apartment buildings were completed.

The reason is that they will be bullied in the city of Nanjing. Regardless of their identities as British or American ministers, if they speak loudly on the street, they will be regarded as unreasonable reprimands and will be troubled.

There are only two situations where no one will easily cause trouble. One is that there are officials of the Ming Dynasty with him, and the other is that people like Juan Fu can speak Chinese very fluently.

"By the way, Viscount...Mr. Juanfu." The embassy staff had nothing to do now, and asked: "Did you see the announcement? Daming asked us to buy their light bulbs and use their power supply, and we are not allowed to use them." Lighting tools such as kerosene lamps and candles are also shameless."

Curly Fu frowned and asked, "Why do you say that? Isn't this a good thing?"

The staff member of the embassy sighed: "You don't know how much he sells for a light bulb, and how much he pays for electricity every month. He is using us as test subjects and at the same time asking us to fund their scientific research. "

Hearing this, Juan Fu felt suddenly enlightened.

No wonder Xincheng was the first to electrify and popularize light bulbs. That's what it meant.

"But doesn't this mean that we can learn the light bulb manufacturing technology and then promote it in China?" Juan Fu said: "Compared to when they sold the White Horse Gun, the price should be more appropriate, right?"

The embassy staff sighed again, and said, "Mr. Juan Fu, you really don't understand these things. Can light bulbs be the same as firearms? We can not use light bulbs, or we can get light bulbs through other means, and then study the technology in them. .However, we have no way to obtain the manufacturing method of firearms through other means. So, their generosity is actually... what kind of generosity?"

"Pretending to be generous."

"That's right, that's right, it's just pretending to be generous." The embassy staff said: "So, they are still using us as experiments to test how to popularize electricity and light bulbs, and then promote them on a large scale in the Ming Empire. Moreover, the Ming Empire has already A patent office was established, saying that light bulbs are their patented technology. If someone in our country uses their patented technology to manufacture light bulbs without paying patent fees, or some other patented technology of the Ming Empire, it is stealing them. patent achievements, they will be held accountable.”

Juan Fu, who originally had a good impression of the Ming Empire, felt very dissatisfied when he heard this, and said, "Isn't that the overlord clause? It can't be that only they can research the light bulb, and our country can't research it? After decades How much is the patent fee for hundreds of years?"

In fact, patents have been available for a long time, and advanced European countries such as the United Kingdom also support this.

But double standards can happen everywhere.

"It's not hundreds of years. It is said that there are several levels of patented technology, and the division is more detailed than our British Empire." The embassy staff said: "The protection period of this patented technology is 30 years, that is to say, after 30 years, We can make whatever we want."

The dissatisfaction in Juan Fu's heart receded a little, and he said, "It is reasonable, if we are indeed plagiarizing, we should also pay patent fees."

The staff of the embassy laughed and said: "It is reasonable to give it, but no one will give it, and they say that they reserve the right to use force to pursue accountability, hahaha... I don't believe it. The Ming Empire without a navy can really find Trouble with our British Empire? Their army is invincible, and it is impossible to penetrate all the way through the Eurasian continent."

Juan Fu was noncommittal and asked, "Is there any new news about the Crimean War?"

The Cromian War was a battle between the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire, the French Empire, and the Kingdom of Sardinia (an independent country in the Kingdom of Italy, which later unified Italy to form a new Kingdom of Italy). war.

It is precisely because of this war that the great powers such as Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, and Ottomans have no time to target Wu Yan's Ming Empire.

"It should be over soon." The embassy staff said: "Our industrial strength is stronger, and we have produced many white horse sharp guns. Although Tsarist Russia also has them, they are not our opponents at all. At the latest at the beginning of next year, we will be able to defeat Tsarist Russia. Get out."

Juan Fu nodded, said some gossip, and left the British embassy with a heavy heart.

He is not really ignorant of politics and military affairs.

"That is to say, at the end of next year, or at the beginning of the next year at the latest, they will jointly declare war on the Ming Empire or the Qing court, or they may join forces with the Qing court to declare war on the Ming Empire. After all, the Qing court does not have any threats at all, and the Ming court The Empire threatens them..."

Juan Fu himself doesn't like war, and now he is full of expectations for the Ming Empire, so he naturally doesn't want war to happen.

"Besides, I have learned magic now, and the people in my family have not come here so far. Maybe...they have also felt the power of magic again. Then, once the war starts, we will become the main force to deal with the martial arts masters of the Ming Empire , and even face the invincible Emperor His Majesty..."

Juan Fu stood still on the side of the street, looking up at the sky.

"Am I thinking a little too much? Maybe we won't be given a chance to face their martial arts masters at all, because even if we regain the power of magic, we will be shot down by ordinary people on the battlefield. Instead, those The martial arts masters of the Ming Empire are more suitable for the battlefield..."

When Juan Fu was worried about the future, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes getting closer.

Looking for the sound, I saw more than 20 white horses leading the way in front, and there were soldiers running neatly in line on the left and right. It seemed to be a normal running posture, but the speed was much faster than the [-]-meter sprint of Juanfu. He got on those white horses and followed the car in the middle of the team, keeping the car in the middle all the time.

"car?"

Juan Fu widened his eyes, and saw a car in the style of the early 20th century, that is, the car of the Shanghai Tang era.

For this era, the shape of this car is simply eye-catching to the extreme.

What attracted Volume Fu even more was the two palm-sized flags that were symmetrically planted on the car.

"It's a Longqi car, a Longqi car dedicated to the Ming royal family, with a dragon flag inserted on the car, and it's the car of His Majesty the Emperor..."

Juan Fu was like a fan of later generations seeing his idol idol, his eyes were full of light and heat, and he subconsciously ran forward with the team, completely ignoring his gentlemanly demeanor.

What he didn't know was that Wu Yan, who was sitting in the car at this time, also noticed him.

The reason was that Annie, who was sitting next to Wu Yan, gave a reminder.

"Your Majesty, the white male running by the side of the road has been detected to have special energy fluctuations in his body."

"Is it internal strength?"

"No."

"What about the magnitude?"

"It's so small, compared to you, it's like candlelight and the sun."

"Tsk tsk tsk... Annie, you have learned how to flatter."
