I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

The so-called Dan people are also known as Lianjia boat people, Yachtzi, Baishuilang, Ding and so on.

They drifted on the water all their lives, took boats as their homes, and had a set of customs that were incompatible with the surrounding ethnic groups.

In contrast to the Tujia people who were forcibly separated, the distinction between the Danjia people may be slightly more appropriate.

In this era, Dan people were untouchable and could not intermarry with Han people, let alone go ashore to engage in industry and commerce, or even take the imperial examination.

According to the old chronicles of the Qing Dynasty, the Dan people "lived in boats and fished for a living. They had floating homes and houses, and the tides came and went. The rivers and seas drifted, and they lived everywhere. They were divided into Hong Kong and Macao, and they did not interfere with each other. Those who live on the bank of the hut are not merchants, do not do work, are accustomed to being humble, and despise the common people. People in Fujian call them curved hooves, which do not resemble their shape. Because their feet are often bent, they are also called beggars. Li Yunyun. Treat him like a slave, and treat him like a slave."

Zheng Catfish is the child of such a Danmin.

Originally, all his life, he should also be regarded as a pariah for his whole life because of living on a low and cramped fishing boat all year round, which caused his legs to bend.

However, because of the appearance of Daming, all this changed.

At the beginning of the Dewu Dynasty, that is, between 1864 and 1865, there was a shortage of people in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Daming's prestige has not yet been established, and his strength is not enough. Immigrants from China have to use the shell of the Citigroup Piggy House to smuggle people.

This makes recruiting immigrants difficult.

And Danmin is obviously an easy target to recruit.

When Zhu Fugui was a child, his mother often frightened him with stories about the people on board. This is the surviving memory of the Dan people in the south.

When he grew up, he learned about the history of the Dan people, which made Zhu Fugui have great sympathy for this ethnic group.

But at that time, there was no discrimination against Danmin in New China, and even the Danmin themselves did not know that their ancestors were Danmin.

This ethnic group is perfectly integrated into the Han nationality.

This is also the source of Zhu Fugui's thought of not engaging in ethnic divisions within the Ming Dynasty after time travel.

Everyone is a citizen of Ming Dynasty. As long as they hold Juka and have full citizenship rights, why should they be divided among each other?

Therefore, Daming absorbed many Dan people and educated them.

Among these Dan people, the one with the highest achievement is none other than Zheng Niaoyu's uncle, Major General Zheng Baoguo, the first naval admiral of the Ming Dynasty.

Theoretically speaking, Zheng Baoguo's status is close to that of Qi Wenchang and Yin Weng, but in reality, the difference is not to say one hundred and eight thousand miles, but it must be one hundred and seventy-nine thousand miles.

Back then, Qi Wenchang smashed Yin Were into Yin Shuyou with stones, but both later became Zhu Fugui's most dependent right-hand men in the army and the spy system, which can be described as a fortune.

But to this day, Yin Were still hasn't forgiven Qi Wenchang's sneak attack, and the two never communicate.

Zhu Fugui believes that this is also part of Yin Were's lonely minister's plan.

Compared with these two generals trusted by Zhu Fugui.

Zheng Baoguo, the old admiral, is quite unworthy.

Water is just water in the word "old".

how to say……

When the Daming Navy was first established, its main task was to drive a cement boat to transport wood from the Tenglong Mountain logging factory to the Fengdu construction site.

And Zheng Baoguo, as the Chinese laborer with the best sailing skills, naturally became the captain of this fleet, and then became the admiral of the Daming Navy.

It can be said that he, the admiral of the navy, has more moisture than Li Yuanhong, the righteous president of Wuhan.

What Zhu Fugui valued was nothing more than his age, ability to sail, and his calmness.

This old man who has dealt with fishing boats all his life, in the first 50 years of his life, never imagined that he would be able to get rid of his lowly status as a Dan citizen, become a witness and participant in the establishment of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty, and even become the emperor of Changzhou addiction.

As the saying goes, times make heroes.

When Liu Bang rebelled at the age of 48, he would never have imagined that he would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor at the age of 54. He really should be like this.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

The era when an illiterate could be a general is over.

Today's military, especially the navy, cannot go far without a good cultural foundation.

But Zheng Baoguo was already over 50 years old at that time.

Now that Dewu is 12 years old, he is already a 69-year-old comrade.

At this age, it is indeed difficult to learn advanced nautical knowledge.

It is true that he was quickly dismissed by Wang Zhonghuang, Morishita and other young people in all aspects.

Just because of his seniority, he got the Governor of Shimonoseki Dangdang with the Maori brother.

After Wajima was restored, Brother Maoli became the father-in-law of Maoli. After running a school and serving as an apartment in Fengdu, Zheng Baoguo officially retired as a rear admiral.

Chen Qiang chatted with Zheng Niaoyu, and the topic naturally came to Zheng Niaoyu's uncle.

Zheng Yuyu drank the bitter black tea, and couldn't help saying sadly: "Uncle, uncle, my uncle, where are you, my nephew misses you..."

……

Dewu 12th year, November 1874, 11 AD.

Drake Passage. (as pictured)

At the beginning of the 16th century, Spain occupied the South American continent. In order to cut off the trade between other Western countries and Asia and America, they blocked the Magellan Strait between the South American continent and Tierra del Fuego, strictly prohibited all ships from other countries, and turned the Pacific Ocean into a Spanish territory. private sea.

The Strait of Magellan is a strait discovered by Magellan when he sailed around the world. It was considered by people at that time to be the only channel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.

Later, Drake, a British slave trader and pirate, accidentally discovered the Drake Passage while avoiding the pursuit of the Spanish Navy.

Of course, this strait will have a more famous name in the future, called the Shaobao Strait.

This is a common error-prone question in junior high school geography examination papers.

True or False: The Shaobao Strait got its name because Li Hongzhang and Li Shaobao were the first to lead a fleet through here, and became the No. 1 landing of the Ming Dynasty in Antarctica.

Answer: wrong.

Because the word "Shaobao" in the Shaobao Strait does not refer to the crown prince Shaobao title issued by the puppet Qing Dynasty.

As Tang Guogong of Ming Dynasty, Li Hongzhang would never admit such a statement.

"Shaobao" is actually Li Hongzhang's name, Li Shaoquan, and General Zheng Baoguo, then commander-in-chief of the Navy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, each took the second character from the name.

In order to commemorate them and the great feats made by the Chinese Miao descendants in the process of spreading branches and leaves all over the world, the strait they passed was named Shaobao Strait.

But at this moment, facing the iceberg floating in the distance, Li Hongzhang finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Baoguo, is this really Tianzhu? Will there be ice that never melts in Tianzhu to form a mountain?"

Zheng Baoguo no longer had the confident look he had a few weeks ago.

He took out his reading glasses and compared them up and down against the chart.

"Almost, almost, Tang Guogong, please be patient and don't be impatient. Since the Francophone tycoon Columbia was able to find India in the west, then we can naturally find India in the east. After all, the earth is round..."

When Li Hongzhang heard this, his blood pressure reached more than 200 in an instant.

But he couldn't attack again.

After all, although he is the so-called Duke of the State, in terms of status and status, he is far inferior to the Taishan Beidou and retired major general of the Ming Navy.

For example, the king of Lee's North Korea was at the first level of prince according to the rank, but in front of the third-rank officials of the Celestial Dynasty, wouldn't he still be a fart?

There is an essential difference between the heavenly officials of the Shangbang and the fences.

In the future, even if Qi Wenchang, Mo Bai and others are only enshrined as marquises, the duke himself is far from enough.

The person in front of him, Li Hongzhang reckoned, by the time Daming was formally ennobled, an earl would not be able to escape no matter what.

He would never dare to contradict such a person.

Even Li Hongzhang once suspected that the retired rear admiral was deliberately fooling himself and taking detours.

Behind him may be the will of the emperor.

He was ordered to fight suddenly!

But at least one thing is true.

He, Li Shaoquan, also studied a little astronomy and geography.

I know that this world is not a round place, but the earth under my feet is a sphere.

Since it is spherical, it will be possible to reach it after a few more days of walking.

When the British and barbarians invaded China, from Guangzhou to Tanggu, they searched for the weak links of coastal defense all the way, which made the Qing army exhausted, thus forming a situation where more local troops attacked the less.

Li Hongzhang also intended to conquer India in the same way.

So the fleet carried a lot of fuel, enough to last for ten months.

However, the fleet's food must be rationed.

Gone are the days when those squires were too rich to eat two cans a day.

Just as Li Hongzhang was about to send an order, he suddenly looked at the sailors and shouted: "There is an island ahead, and there are many mountains of meat moving on it!"

When Zheng Baoguo heard it, he quickly raised the binoculars to look, and then shouted: "This old man knows, this old man knows!"

He happily held Li Hongzhang's hand, and said with a smile, "I said, why is it so cold here, Mr. Li, we've arrived at Bear Island. Those meat mountains are all delicious giant elephants!"

……

Zheng Baoguo's judgment was of course wrong.

Because their location is close to the Antarctic rather than the North Pole, the naval base established by Da Ming in the Aleutian Islands is almost at the opposite ends of the earth.

Zheng Baoguo saw that the island was not Bear Island, but Elephant Island, and the Roshan he saw was naturally not a walrus, but an equally huge Antarctic elephant seal.

Male Antarctic elephant seals are the largest pinnipeds, while females are slightly smaller than walruses.

In short, as an animal blind, it is difficult to distinguish these two fleshy marine mammals.

Of course, for hungry sailors, there is no need to distinguish.

These large, greasy, clumsy creatures are the best food source.

Along the way, although Li Hongzhang saw many icebergs, in fact, these icebergs were not "ice that never melted" as he said.

These icebergs were broken off from the Antarctic ice sheet and floated here.

The temperature in the Shaobao Strait itself is actually not low, and the temperature of the seawater is close to three degrees in the coldest month.

And now it is November, which is the warm time in the southern hemisphere, so many icebergs will melt and float, not because of the local ice.

Li Hongzhang and his party who landed on Elephant Island have already written history.

Because Elephant Island belongs to the South Shetland Islands, and according to the "Antarctic Treaty" signed in 1959, the South Shetland Islands are part of Antarctica. use.

But at this time, Li Hongzhang didn't care about the "Antarctic Treaty" that was invisible.

After sailing for a long time, I finally saw land.

Li Hongzhang ordered Liu Mingchuan and others to raise the sun, moon, and gold here, and the Partridge Banner of the Southern Tang Dynasty. At the same time, they played "Duke Li Music", burned incense to worship the sky, and announced to the sky that this area is 0.01T, which is about 8 Hong Kong An island the size of an island, it is the first overseas territory of the Southern Tang Principality.

Of course, it is impossible for such a small broken island to settle so many gentry.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, a good start is half the battle.

The Huai army killed more than [-] elephant seals at one time with spears and bayonets, and organized a grand banquet.

And this Antarctic island is actually not that cold.

In the midsummer of the southern hemisphere, the temperature on Koh Chang is as high as 8 degrees Celsius.

It can only be said to be slightly cold, but it is definitely not cold.

In fact, in terms of latitude, although this is Antarctica, it is lower than Iceland's latitude.

And, like Iceland, it has a strong oceanic climate. In winter, there is a warm current passing along the coast. The westerly wind blows from the warm sea surface, and the air flow is warm and humid. Therefore, the winter temperature is much warmer than that of the center of the continent and the east coast of the continent at the same latitude.

Furthermore, Elephant Island is less than [-] kilometers away from the Great Wall Station of later generations.

As the first scientific research station established by China in Antarctica, the Great Wall Station does not go deep into the hinterland of Antarctica, but on a long and narrow peninsula, which also has a strong oceanic climate, and the conditions are not as harsh as people imagined. (as pictured)

In summer, the highest temperature at the Great Wall Station can reach 13 degrees Celsius.

In the coldest winter, the average temperature is only minus 20 degrees, and it can reach minus [-] degrees in a few days of extreme cold. Compared with the winter in Northeast China, it is not too cold.

In short, Nantang's fleet caught up with the good times and arrived at Elephant Island.

Zheng Baoguo was very disappointed when he found out that this was not Xiongdao, the important naval base of Ming Dynasty in the North Pacific Ocean.

However, based on Xiong Island's experience, he also suggested that Li Hongzhang establish a supply station on Elephant Island.

After resupply, the Southern Tang army will continue east, looking for India.
