Chapter 2761 The lie of success in cultivating immortality
It can be said that they already have enough power.
The only reason limiting their march to land now is actually their internal disputes.
Some people still have good intentions.
"The Ming Dynasty is still in a relatively stable mid-term period. We can't be cruel to our ancestors, right?"
"In that case, isn't it a woman's kindness? Be more decisive now, and they will suffer less in the future."
"Even if we defeat them, how can we solve the deep-rooted habits?"
"If you think too much and are defeated, if you use another 20 years of education to educate your children, they will automatically replace us and fight with their previous generation."
"You are right. Only the advanced can assimilate the backward. The backward cannot assimilate the advanced."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Amid the fierce quarrels, the northward expeditionary army began to be quickly formed.
It’s just that this excuse still needs to be looked for.
After all, these time-travelers are typical examples of wanting and wanting.
…
However, Wang Shan, the emperor system traveler, does not have this consciousness.
He just wants to be an emperor and a superior person, so he has no interest in changing his status.
In his opinion, after traveling back in time, if he can't be an emperor, why should he travel back in time?
As for making up for regrets, his biggest regret is that he cannot live forever in the real world.
He can't make up for his own regrets, so why should he care about others?
And now he has a system, and the ultimate task given to him by the system is to become the emperor.
Originally this task was not difficult.
Relying on the rewards given by the system, mainly some dead soldiers, he can definitely become Sima Yi, or Cao Cao, or Yang Jian.
But now that there are a large number of time-travelers coming in, this method is no longer possible.
He also knew that the power of the Nanyang Travelers was already very large.
I also know that the other party will go north at any time.
Since five years.
He recently relied on the double doors to stock up on a large amount of black powder.
A large number of firearms were manufactured.
At the same time, he covered himself up quietly.
He learned how to disguise himself as an ordinary native.
He now knows what his biggest advantage is: relying on the system to outlast other time-travelers.
Because there are some branches in the system tasks, such as visiting mountains and rivers, which will increase the life span.
His current lifespan, through system query, is as high as 150 years.
This is also the reason why he has the confidence to despise Zhang Ming.
Idiot Zhang Ming has no idea how much of an opportunity he has missed.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Zhang Ming, because Wang Shan has never exposed his system at all, and he has the ability to extend his lifespan.
Because he saves others by himself, if anyone knew about it, countless people would definitely want to kill him and seize his system.
At worst, it will fall into the swimming circle problem of "I don't have it, and you can't have it either".
Ordinarily, it should develop quietly, not using double doors, and not making too much use of the system.
Prevent yourself from being exposed.
But because he only has one life.
The reason for establishing one's own power is to prevent oneself from being killed for inexplicable reasons.
For example, there are thieves, there is chaos among the refugees, there is strife in the court, and there are some accidents.
Of course he also understood that it was now over.
His previous strategy still made some mistakes.
I also thought about using the double door to compete with the traverser head-on.
Now it seems that this is ridiculous.
His system is not big enough.
After completing so many tasks for five years, we only gave 1,000 dead soldiers.
And they are all indigenous knowledge systems.
Not a modern person, but absolutely loyal to him.
He did not dare to expose himself and did not engage in large-scale education.
But on the other side, it is a grand place where a hundred people teach a thousand people, a thousand people teach a hundred thousand people, and a hundred thousand people teach tens of millions of people.
Facts have proved that the conspiracy behind the scenes cannot survive the above-board development on the stage.
Unless it's big enough.
This is why it is important to "learn from others".
Zhang Ming is a timid guy. In five years, he has not even been able to get a pistol.
The biggest advantage is that we have obtained many modern drugs such as penicillin.
And what he paid for was a large amount of handicrafts.
Some people even imitated calligraphy and painting.
…
Wang Shan has now become the commander-in-chief of Fu Province.
Relying on several campaigns and sending money and gifts, he transformed from literature to martial arts and became the commander-in-chief of a place.
Although the general soldier is embarrassing and useless, he has the advantage of being able to suppress a place for decades.
This is the case for a certain Li.
No matter how good a civil servant is, there are very few cases like this.
After becoming the commander-in-chief, he used thousands of dead soldiers to break through all the provinces and make them his own.
The bandits are his subordinates, the pirates are his subordinates, and the officials are also his subordinates.
All he used were ordinary matchlock guns.
But his matchlocks are all very good.
Because he has enough money.
But now Wang Shan is not satisfied with the current situation.
Because he knew that the Nanyang Travelers were already incomparably powerful.
And it is obviously impossible for him to fight against so many people alone.
The rewards that the emperor system can give are not extraordinary.
If he were the only time traveler, it would be incredible.
After repeated deductions, he decisively sealed the double door and told Zhang Ming that cooperation was suspended.
At the same time, he mocked the other party, but he couldn't help but said:
"You idiot, this world is diverse and chaotic."
"There are various possibilities. I heard that Emperor Jiajing has successfully cultivated immortality."
"You don't dare to come here yourself, you don't dare to take risks, and even I can't replace you. Now you just stay in the real world and wait to die of old age!"
After all, they are ordinary people.
Even heroes are mostly emotional.
He still couldn't help but let out a little bit: That is what can live forever in this world.
As long as Zhang Ming thinks about it carefully, he can understand: Why is Wang Shan so determined to cultivate immortality?
Why do you think about immortality?
Obviously a modern person should understand that immortality is fake.
There is only one reason: obviously Wang Shan also has a big secret.
Of course, these words were deceived by Wang Shan.
I just want to stimulate Zhang Ming and make him take risks.
However, Wang Shan never expected that his words would come true.

This day.
Emperor Jiajing was seriously ill.
He quickly issued an edict and asked the southerners to send medicine.
One of the most courageous southerners actually chose to enter the palace to treat the emperor in order to see the real emperor.
This person is naturally Zhao Tiezhu.
Zhao Tiezhu only used two injections of penicillin extracted by indigenous methods to cure Emperor Jiajing's severe pneumonia, which was basically a fatal disease in this world.
The reason why colds and fevers were scary to ancient people was that they had a high probability of transforming into pneumonia.
The cough has been bad for a long time. Finally, after a few months, my lungs became more and more serious. If my personal resistance cannot keep up, I will die.
This is also one of the main reasons why most wealthy people died in their twenties, thirties, or forties after apparently surviving the period of premature death.
Colds and fevers are so common that some people experience them once or twice a year.
The ancients were not afraid of the common cold. It has been said many times in Dream of Red Mansions:
"In the early morning of the next day, Xiren woke up and felt that his body was heavy, he had a headache, his eyes were swollen, and his limbs were hot. The doctor gave him diagnosis and treatment and said: 'I just feel cold occasionally, take one or two doses of medicine to evacuate and it will be fine.'"
The symptoms are the same as those of modern people, so you don’t have to worry about a common cold.
What I'm afraid of is that if I'm unlucky and it turns into pneumonia, I won't be able to resist the bacterial infection and I'll die.
Because the ancients did not have the concept of bacteria, and before modern industry invented bactericidal compounds, they did not know how to effectively kill bacteria.
Zhao Tiezhu cured Jiajing's illness and thought he would receive a large reward.
It was the same at the beginning.
"Edict: Give Zhao Tiezhu a hundred taels of gold, and reward the commander of the Jinyi Guard..."
The commander is just a treatment and does not control affairs. The seal officer has the real power.
However, Emperor Jiajing soon asked:
"My dear, since there is this green plum medicine in the world, is there any medicine for immortality?"
"Penicillin is a bactericidal drug, a drug of immortality. It will take a long, long time to reverse the aging of the human body." Zhao Tiezhu said directly.
"How long will it take and can it be refined?"
"It will take about five hundred years." Zhao Tiezhu said that it would take one hundred years to develop to modern times first.
It will take another four hundred years to develop genetic drugs.
"What?" Jiajing suppressed his anger, after all, the other party showed his true ability.
He just asked people to watch Zhao Tiezhu carefully, but in fact he was under house arrest.
For an emperor, can he believe it?
He doesn't believe it.
He believed that the southerners must have the elixir of death.
But don't give it to him.
This is the emperor's greatest evil: this profession means that he can never trust anyone.
Because any emperor who trusts others will not end well.
So Emperor Jiajing secretly sent people to prepare to go deep into where the southerners were.
He sent Dongchang and Jinyiwei to join forces.
They are planning to kidnap several core time travellers.
After one month.
These people successfully kidnapped a single southerner who put on makeup, went to a banquet of indigenous oirans, and tried to show off by copying poems, but the result was that "he was even more arrested than if he hadn't pretended."
Because the other party comes up with questions on the spot, composes poems on the spot, and has various rules.
It's similar to choosing someone among primary school students to do Mathematical Olympiad questions.
Then he was caught.
Then came a lot of torture, and finally came to the conclusion:
Zhao Tiezhu did not lie.
The people of the South also have no elixir of immortality.
They had no choice but to tremble and tell the news to the emperor.
…
This method immediately aroused the anger of the time traveler.
Although the colleague himself was mainly to blame for this incident, it also exposed a fatal problem:
Unless they squatted at home one by one and did not go out, as long as they went out to contact the indigenous people, they would not be truly safe in the face of endless attacks by the indigenous people.
This problem cannot be solved even in the 21st century, let alone now?
There is only one way to solve it, which is to completely clean up the environment.
Although they had long realized that their way of life could not coexist with the feudal rulers.
But now the fatal blow from the emperor has completely awakened them: it is absolutely impossible for them to coexist with the ignorant and selfish emperor.
The time travelers finally prepared their troops for war and began to head north.
Fully 200,000 people boarded thousands of large and small steamships and marched all the way to the capital.
Their goals are also very simple.
Behead them first to reduce the intensity of resistance, and then occupy important coastal cities, riverside cities, and transportation arteries.
Finally, a large-scale education program was launched in Chongcheng to allow the next generation to complete the work of infiltration and attack.
It is impossible to expect yourself to change the social structure of 150 to 300 million people.
There is no need for them to fight one by one.
And at this time.
Wang Shan realized that the crisis was coming.
System prompt: "The first survival crisis has arrived."
"Another group of time travelers poses a huge threat to you."
"You have to stop them or flee into the mountains quickly."
"Otherwise, under the layers of management of the time travellers, what you have done will be easily exposed."
Wang Shan naturally knew that if he exposed himself, he would either quickly join forces with the other party, admit his mistake, drink three drinks as a penalty, and say that his ideas were backward and he just wanted to be a master...
Otherwise, he will be crushed by the opponent and be chased and intercepted by the opponent.
With only his black powder weapons and 1,000 dead soldiers, he could resist for two years at most and then be wiped out.
Wang Shan felt very painful.
"Damn it, your system is so incompetent, can't you give me a powerful cheat?"
【Then shall I go?】
"No, uncle, I was wrong."
In fact, Wang Shan also knew that his golden finger was already very powerful.
If other time travelers knew about it, they would be jealous to death.
At least it ensures that he never gets sick and gives him hope of immortality.
There are only two ways out now, one is to hide in the mountains, and the other is to join up with the opponent.
The former will make him lose his power.
The latter easily exposes the existence of the system.
After all, everyone else is old, but you are not. What's going on?
The natives will regard you as a god, while the same kind will only regard you as a mutant or a traitor.
So Wang Shan actually had only one choice, and that was to hide in the deep mountains and old forests.
Fortunately, according to his estimation, it will take at least thirty years for the southerners to truly assimilate to the Ming Dynasty.
So he chose to hang up the seal and leave.
Of course, he still left 1,000 dead soldiers behind.
Let them communicate on a single line and never reveal their existence.
And he entered a deep mountain and old forest that had been prepared long ago.
This rich province is full of mountains and rocks. Even in the most dangerous times, it is very safe, let alone these travelers?
So he chose to fake his death to escape, live in seclusion, and get news from time to time.
The circumstances of the death were watched by tens of thousands of people.
After a ship exploded and sank, he prepared a corpse wearing his official uniform and private seal to replace himself.
For this reason, he killed innocent people, hundreds of them.
The survivors were all witnesses to his death, and the matter was reported to the court, and there are files available for inspection.
When the body was recovered, it had turned into bones.
Anyway, all the remains of his own DNA have been cleaned up and have not been leaked.
…
Just two years later.
The Jiajing family of the Ming Dynasty was arrested and then used as living fossils of the emperor and became research materials.
Everyone is very interested in the emperor's mentality, lifestyle, and how to maintain his authority...
Basically, I ask three times a day.
Five years later.
Most of the important towns of the Ming Dynasty were settled.
Under the attack of large amounts of food, cloth, and money, one heavy army group after another collapsed.
The county town where he was previously was also occupied by the guides.
Two more years passed.
He learned the news that the double door was discovered.
That boy Zhang Ming appeared openly again, and he happily gathered with the other time-travelers.
"Actually, I have wanted to find you for a long time, but I was restricted here at the time, and I met that bastard Wang Shan again..."
When I heard that there was another time traveler, the Southerners naturally took it seriously.
Later, Zhang Ming led people to dance on the grave where he faked his death and opened the coffin to examine the body.
"Hahaha, Wang Shan, you bastard, you should die!"
"I asked you to intimidate me, cross the river and demolish the bridge, and then say that Jiajing's cultivation of immortality was successful, and that Jiajing's family has become protected animals!"
