Photos, black and white photos.

There is a handsome man in the long-lost black and white photo. Although he is unwilling to admit it, he does look like Zhu Mingzhong. No wonder they recognize the wrong person.

"Zhu Minghe, March 17th, 30th year of Yongping..."

As can be seen from his name, he is not a royal family.

Looking at the photos that were somewhat similar to his appearance, Zhu Mingzhong sighed and sighed again. At least his identity is not a problem now.

"This is my ID, I am Zhu Minghe."

In addition to the issue of identity, what made Zhu Mingzhong most pleased was that this kid actually had a lot of money in his wallet - more than 500 taels. Although it was not much, for him who was penniless, it was enough to settle in this time and space.

"Da Ming Huaihai Bank..."

Looking at the familiar bank on the banknotes, Zhu Mingzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this is his time and space.

Suddenly, a piece of paper in his bag attracted his attention and he opened it and looked...

"I'll go, what's this? Bucket list?"

Looking at the unfulfilled wishes written on the paper, the last one was - "jump into the sea in Cape Dover and quietly wait for the arrival of death."

In addition, there is actually a letter, which is a suicide note, which is nothing more than telling others that he committed suicide. The reason is so bloody, because of love... a lover who has been in love for many years married a nobleman.

"It's really...it's really bloody,"

But now, it’s good. Since you have got your wish, I will live a good life for you from now on.

What to do next?

Of course, I wanted to figure out what changed the world in the nearly 130 years after I left.

Where should I go if I want to know history?

Of course, it's going to the library.

What is the purchasing power of more than 500 taels of silver coupons now?

Buy a jacket - the kind of hunting jacket, including shirts and shoes, it costs less than 20 yuan in total. It seems that the silver dollar coupon is still very firm.

After changing his clothes, Zhu Mingzhong went to the nearby library. Although the city was unfamiliar and even had a language barrier, there was no problem with speaking Mandarin here. It seemed that many people would speak Chinese. Even in the library, he saw many Chinese characters.

"At least 30% of the books are Chinese characters."

This is just an ordinary municipal library, and what does that mean?

It means that the influence of Chinese culture may even be far greater than that of English in another time and space.

How could there be such a big change in less than one hundred and thirty years?

Just as Zhu Mingzhong was looking for books like general history that he wanted to find, a book suddenly came into his eyes.

"Biography of Emperor Shizu of the Emperor!"

Emperor Shizu?

Who can be called the Emperor?

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Zhu Mingzhong picked up the book, the author was Si Jiafu, and the name was a bit strange.

When he opened the book, Zhu Mingzhong skipped the previous content, what the years of the imperial city, what the escape from heaven, traveling around the world... are all fake. Who knows better than himself? What he cares more about is the fifty-five years of Xingqian... No, it should be the first year of Xingye. What happened in Constantinople that day.

"……Um?"

His brows suddenly frowned, and Zhu Mingzhong's expression became a little solemn.

The book clearly states that in October of the first year of Xingye, Emperor Shizu died peacefully in the royal garden outside Zhongdu.

I'm in Zhongdu...

Go, shouldn't it be in Constantinople?

Then Zhu Mingzhong understood that no matter what, the Ming Dynasty could not claim that Emperor Shizu died in Constantinople, and even the trip itself was a secret - they thought they were practicing.

"This matter is correct..."

Talking to himself, Zhu Mingzhong believed that even the tombs in Nanjing might be just clothes.

After all, I live in a good manner, but one hundred, twenty or thirty years later.

"Hey, it's a waste of time to build such a big garden."

Whispering in his heart, Zhu Mingzhong continued to search for historical books on the bookshelf, and soon found the history books he needed, and then he was immersed in history...

What happened in less than a hundred and thirty years?

Until he left the library in the evening, Zhu Mingzhong was still in extreme shock.

In the second year of Xingde, the Ming Dynasty invaded Persia and Afghanistan on the grounds that the railway was destroyed. After the Roman Empire occupied Baghdad, it launched an attack on the southern desert. Then what happened there? "Only the dead can retain the so-called tradition." The cold and cruel words were Zhu Hejia's answer to the petitioners.

For a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have fought with those people around the world, from Persia to the Peninsula, to Afghanistan, to India. Three emperors of the Ming Dynasty, with domestic pressure, completely eradicated everything through force, assimilation, etc. As for the Roman Empire, it even paid the result of an emperor's death. Even Egypt sacrificed two princes in the so-called "civilization expedition".

For a hundred years, Daming and Zhu Xia focused their attention on those people.

Why is this happening...

The outside world can never understand that in their opinion, this is the final expansion of the empire, but in fact... it is for revenge.

"These stupid guys..."

Of course, Zhu Mingzhong knew the reason was that his sons were avenging the so-called "father's revenge". How painful they would be when they heard the news, then how deep their hatred would be. So deep that they could completely erase the traces of a civilization's existence.

When they put their attention on those people and try to eliminate the existence of certain things. What happened to Europe in that hundred years?

As good students of the Ming Dynasty, they studied and changed, and then... the revolution broke out in France. The Great Revolution seemed to be not much different from history. All parties in the Great Revolution killed each other, but in the era of bullet-cavity rifles, killing was more effective.

Surprisingly, Napoleon still rose, not an expedition to Egypt, but an expedition to Central Africa. After 1730, facing the reality that the New World had been divided by Ming, Spain and Portugal, as the last virgin land in the world, Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries all turned their attention to Africa and began to conquer Africa.

Today, Africa, except for some parts of the southern region and North Africa, is full of colonies of France, Britain, the Netherlands and Portugal, where tens of millions of people live happily... The statement in the book says.

Of course, what is even more surprising is that after a long negotiation, the North American Xia finally decided to form the United Empire - the Huaxia Empire.

"Dividing for a long time will lead to unity. The ancients did not deceive me."

Zhu Mingzhong sighed at the unification of North America, which made a powerful opponent appear in the true sense of the Celestial Empire, but he was relieved.

Facts have proved that the system of Xia has been working well after it left. The only exception is the Gui Kingdom. More than 40 years ago, a riot broke out there. The uprisingers tried to overthrow the rule of the king, and then... "respecting the king and repelling the rioters." Under the quelling of force from neighboring countries, the riot ended without success.

However, what surprised Zhu Mingzhong even more was that in the past 100 or 30 years, the speed of technological progress of the Ming Dynasty was far beyond his imagination. When their enemies were still in the mix of hot and cold weapons, and even in the era of cold weapons, they had breech guns and steam engines, and they were not satisfied with investing high-energy explosives and iron-clad ships. In the following hundred years, the steam engine was continuously improved, and the internal combustion engine was put into use a hundred years ago, generators, electric motors... For a hundred years, human scientific and technological civilization was progressing rapidly. When other countries just began to enter the steam era, the Ming Dynasty began the second industrial revolution, and the world entered the second industrial revolution, until now...

However, this era seems to be different from what Zhu Mingzhong is familiar with.

Although planes were built 70 years ago, propeller planes are still flying all over the sky. Cars were built a hundred years ago, but classic cars are running all over the ground.

The Ming cannon ships on the oceans still spit out black smoke and cruised across the oceans of the world. Of course, there were French Empire, Spanish Empire, and even British-Dutch Empire - Britain lost Ireland but got the Netherlands. Faced with the pressure of France, they actually merged into one country.

As for Russia... According to Zhu Mingzhong's arrangement, Elizabeth Petrovna married Zhu Botao at the age of fifteen. After the death of Katerina I, in order to protect Elizabeth's inheritance, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Russia.

The army's attack was almost unresisted, but Minshkov and others who manipulated Peter II to succeed the throne organized a hasty resistance in St. Petersburg. Then, the Russian Empire no longer existed. Their nobles formed a parliament of Russian nobles and swore allegiance to Elizabeth. Russia became part of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, at that time, more than 10 million of Russia's more than 30 million were Ming and Russian mixed-race children, and most of the nobles themselves were mixed-race children.

"Going west, after passing Poland, you will be back home."

Thinking of this, Zhu Mingzhong almost laughed out loud. In this time and space, Poland was not only not divided by Russia and Pakatan Harapan, but also became the first republic in the world. During the French Revolution, a number of republics emerged in South America. However, the existence of this republic was protected under the wings of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, in this time and space, the Ming Dynasty is still an extremely powerful existence for the world. Even if it possesses the French Empire of Prussia, Austria and Italy, it cannot pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

...

Walking straight in this strange city, the street lights on the roadside emit soft lights, and the cars passing by the roadside made Zhu Mingzhong feel like he was in an old movie.

While curious, he was more confused about reality. Perhaps because of this, Zhu Mingzhong would wander around aimlessly. Sometimes, he didn't even know where he was. He just walked and thought about it.

What should I do in the future?

How should I live in this time and space?

Zhu Mingzhong became a little confused. He even thought of what he had planned many years ago when he was bored - to put a bank deposit certificate with huge sums of money in the pages of books, and then put it in the library to wait for others to discover it. Even Zhu Mingzhong had already thought of that book.

"Why don't you do it?"

Zhu Mingzhong couldn't help but feel a little upset. He was only more than 500 taels... How should he live in the future?

However, for a person who can travel from Nanjing and Europe, his family background should be quite good. No, it seems that he clearly wrote in his suicide note that he felt sorry for not being buried by his parents and hoped to bury his clothes there.

This guy...the conditions are average.

"Forget it, a happy life depends on your own hands..."

When he was talking to himself, Zhu Mingzhong then looked up at the surroundings - where is this?

Zhu Mingzhong, who had paused his thoughts, found that he was actually lost.

Shaking his head, Zhu Mingzhong planned not to think about this for the time being. Compared to what happens in the future, the most important thing now is to hurry up... well, solve the belly problem.

"You are here!"

Suddenly, Zhu Mingzhong heard the words coming from the front. It was her, and it was the little nurse again.

Zhu Mingzhong found that he seemed to be very destined to be with this beautiful little nurse. The first person he met when he came over was her, and he had seen him three times in just a few hours.

Sitting on a chair in the restaurant, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the young nurse in front of him seriously for the first time. It is undeniable that she is indeed very beautiful. Even as the emperor is used to seeing all kinds of beauties, she is still extremely beautiful in his eyes.

"Hey, I'm very ungenius when you look at it like this."
