Chapter 2759: Lies of Success in Immortal Cultivation
It can be said that they already have enough power.
The only thing that now limits their advance towards land is actually their internal disputes.
Some people still have good intentions.
"The Ming Dynasty is still in a relatively stable middle period. We can't be cruel to our ancestors, right?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't that be too soft-hearted? If we act decisively now, they will suffer less in the future."
“Even if we defeat them, how can we solve the deep-rooted habits?”
"You think too much. If we defeat them, we will spend another 20 years educating our children. They will automatically take our place and confront their elders."
"You are right. Only the advanced can assimilate the backward, but the backward cannot assimilate the advanced."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Amidst the fierce quarrel, the expeditionary force heading north was quickly formed.
But I still need to find this excuse carefully.
After all, these time travelers are the typical ones who want everything.
……
However, Wang Shan, a time traveler from the Emperor System, does not have this awareness.
He just wanted to be the emperor, he just wanted to be the superior person, so he had no interest in changing the hierarchy.
In his opinion, if he couldn't become an emperor after traveling back in time, what was the point of traveling 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 even make up for his own regrets, so why would 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.
This task was not difficult.
Relying on the rewards given by the system, mainly some loyal soldiers, he can completely become a Sima Yi, or Cao Cao, or Yang Jian.
But now, because of the large number of time travelers intruding, this trick no longer works.
He also knew that the power of the Nanyang time travelers had become very large.
I also know that the other party may head north at any time.
Over the past five years.
He recently used the double-penetration door to stockpile a huge 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 greatest advantage is: relying on the system to outlast other time travelers.
Because there are some side quests in the system tasks, such as visiting mountains and rivers, which will increase your lifespan.
According to system query, his current lifespan is as high as 150 years.
This is also the reason why he has the confidence to despise Zhang Ming.
Stupid Zhang Ming, he has no idea how big an opportunity he has missed.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Zhang Ming, because Wang Shan has never exposed his system or the ability to increase his lifespan.
Because he judges others by his own standards, if people knew about this, there would definitely be countless people who would want to kill him and seize his system.
At worst, you will fall into the "I don't have it, and you can't have it" swimming ring problem.
In theory, he should develop quietly, not use double doors, and not use the system too much.
Prevent yourself from being exposed.
But because he only has one life.
The reason for building up one's own power is to prevent oneself from being killed for inexplicable reasons.
For example, petty thieves, riots caused by refugees, infighting in the imperial court, and some accidents.
Of course he also understood that it was over now.
His previous strategy still had some mistakes.
I also wanted to rely on the double door to fight the traverser head-on.
Now it seems ridiculous.
The hook given by his system is not big enough.
After completing so many missions for five years, they only gave us 1000 death squads.
And they are all indigenous knowledge systems.
Not a modern man, but absolutely loyal to him.
He did not dare to expose himself and did not carry out large-scale education.
On the other side, it is done openly, with a hundred people teaching a thousand people, a thousand people teaching a hundred thousand people, and a hundred thousand people teaching tens of millions of people.
Facts have proved that the conspiracy behind the scenes cannot beat the open and aboveboard development on the stage.
Unless the hanger is big enough.
This is why it is necessary to have a “legitimate reason” to do so.
Zhang Ming is a timid guy. In five years, he hasn't even been able to get a pistol.
The biggest benefit is that we can get a lot of modern drugs such as penicillin.
And what he paid for were a lot of handicrafts.
Some people even imitated calligraphy and paintings.
……
Wang Shan has now become the general of Fu Province.
Through several expeditions and by giving money and gifts, he turned from a civil official into a military officer and became the general of a place.
Although being a general is shameful and cowardly, it has one advantage: it allows one to suppress an area for decades.
Like a certain Li.
No matter how powerful the civil servants are, such cases are rare.
After becoming the general, he used thousands of death warriors to connect with everyone in the province and made them his men.
Bandits are his subordinates, pirates are his subordinates, and officials are also his subordinates.
He used ordinary matchlock guns.
But his matchlocks were all of excellent quality.
Because he had enough money.
But now Wang Shan is not satisfied with the current situation.
Because he knew that the travelers from Nanyang were already incomparably powerful.
It was obviously impossible for him to fight against so many people alone.
The rewards that the Emperor System can give are not incredible.
If he was the only time traveler, it would be incredible enough.
After repeated deductions, he decisively blocked the double door and told Zhang Ming that the cooperation was suspended.
At the same time, he mocked the other party, but he couldn't help but say:
"You idiot, this world is diverse and chaotic."
"There are various possibilities. I heard that Emperor Jiajing has succeeded in cultivating immortality."
"You didn't dare to come here, didn't dare to take the risk, and even made me unable to take your place. Now you just stay in the real world and wait to die of old age!"
After all, we are just ordinary people.
Even a powerful person is mostly emotional.
He still couldn't help but let out a little clue: that is, this world allows people to live forever.
As long as Zhang Ming thinks about it carefully, he will understand: Why is Wang Shan so determined to cultivate immortality?
Why would you think about immortality?
As a modern person, you should understand that immortality is a lie.
There is only one reason: Wang Shan obviously also has a big secret.
Of course, these words were said by Wang Shan to deceive the other party.
I just want to stimulate Zhang Ming and let Zhang Ming take an adventure.
However, Wang Shan never expected that his words would come true.
……
this day.
Emperor Jiajing was seriously ill.
He quickly issued an edict, asking the southerners to send medicine.
The most courageous southerner 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 using traditional methods to cure Emperor Jiajing's severe pneumonia, which in this world is basically a fatal disease.
The reason why colds and fevers were scary to the ancients was that there was a high probability that they would turn into pneumonia.
I kept coughing and it never got better. After several months, my lung condition became increasingly worse. If my resistance couldn't keep up, I would die.
This is also one of the main reasons why most wealthy people die in their twenties, thirties, or forties even though they have clearly survived the period of premature death.
Colds and fevers are very common, and some people experience them once or twice a year. The ancients were not afraid of the common cold. The Dream of the Red Chamber repeatedly said:
"The next morning, Xiren woke up and felt heavy, with a headache, swollen eyes, and burning limbs. She called a doctor for treatment, who said, 'It's just a cold. Take one or two doses of medicine to relieve the cold and you'll be fine.'"
The symptoms are the same as for modern people, so there is nothing to worry about with the common cold.
What I’m afraid of is bad luck and it turns into pneumonia, and if I can’t resist the bacterial infection, I’ll be dead.
Because ancient people had no concept of bacteria, they did not know how to effectively kill bacteria until modern industry invented bactericidal compounds.
Zhao Tiezhu cured Jiajing's illness and thought he would be rewarded greatly.
It was the same at the beginning.
"Imperial edict: grant Zhao Tiezhu 100 taels of gold and reward him as the commander of the Jinyiwei..."
The commander-in-chief is just a privilege and has no power. Only the seal-bearing officer has real power.
However, soon, Emperor Jiajing asked:
"My dear, since there is this green plum medicine in the world, is there an elixir of immortality?"
"Penicillin is a bactericidal drug, an elixir of life. It will take a very long time to reverse the aging of the human body." Zhao Tiezhu said directly.

"How long will it take? Can it be refined?"
"It will probably take five hundred years." Zhao Tiezhu meant that it would take a hundred years to develop to the modern era.
It took another four hundred years to develop genetic medicine.
"What?" Jiajing suppressed his anger. After all, the other party showed his true ability.
He just asked someone to keep a close eye on Zhao Tiezhu, which was actually putting him under house arrest.
For an emperor, can he believe it?
He doesn't believe it.
He believed that the southerners must have an elixir of immortality.
But not to him.
This is the greatest evil of an emperor: this profession makes him unable to trust anyone forever.
Because any emperor who trusts others too easily will not have a good ending.
So Emperor Jiajing secretly sent people to prepare to go deep into where the southerners were.
He sent out the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the two joined forces.
They planned to kidnap several core travelers.
After one month.
These people successfully kidnapped a single southerner who was dressed up and going to a banquet of aboriginal courtesans, hoping to show off by copying poems, but the result was "even worse than not pretending at all, and he was arrested".
Because the other party’s game requires people to give questions on the spot, compose poems on the spot, and have all kinds of rules.
It is similar to selecting people from primary school to do Olympiad math problems.
He was then arrested.
Then there was a severe torture, and finally the conclusion was reached:
Zhao Tiezhu did not lie.
The southerners don't have an elixir of immortality either.
They had no choice but to report the news to the emperor in all eight directions.
……
This method immediately aroused the anger of the time travelers.
Although this incident was mainly due to the colleague himself, it also exposed a fatal problem:
Unless they stay at home, they will never be truly safe if they go out and come into contact with the indigenous people, as they will face endless attacks from the indigenous people.
This problem cannot be solved even in the 21st century, let alone now?
There is only one way to solve the problem, which is to clean up the environment thoroughly.
Although they had long realized that their way of life could not coexist with that of the feudal rulers.
But now the fatal blow from the emperor made them wake up completely: it is absolutely impossible for them to coexist with the ignorant and selfish emperor.
The time travelers finally assembled their troops and began to march north.
A total of 20 people, boarding thousands of large and small steamships, marched straight to the capital.
Their goal is simple.
Behead first to reduce the intensity of resistance, and then occupy important cities along the coast, important cities along the river, and important transportation routes.
Finally, we will promote education in Chongcheng so that the next generation can complete the work of infiltration and attack.
It is impossible to expect to change the social structure of 1.5 to 3 million people by yourself.
There is no need for them to attack one by one.
And at this time.
Wang Shan realized that the crisis was coming.
System prompt: "The first survival crisis is coming."
"Another group of time travelers poses a huge threat to you."
"You must stop them or escape into the mountains."
"Otherwise, under the layers of management of the time travelers, what you have done will be easily exposed."
Wang Shan naturally knew that if he exposed himself, he would either quickly join the other party, admit his mistake, drink three glasses of wine as punishment, and say that his ideas were backward and he just wanted to be the master...
Otherwise, he will be crushed and surrounded by the opponent.
With only his limited black powder weapons and 1000 loyal soldiers, he could only resist for two years at most before being wiped out.
Wang Shan felt very painful.
"Damn it, your system is too weak, can't you give me a powerful cheat code?"
【Then shall I leave? 】
"No, sir, I was wrong."
Wang Shan actually knew that his golden finger was already very powerful.
If other time travelers knew about this, they would be extremely envious.
At least it ensures that he will not get sick and gives him hope of longevity.
There are only two ways out now, one is to hide in the mountains, the other is to join the other side.
The former will make him lose his power.
The latter can easily expose the existence of the system.
After all, everyone else is old, but you are not. What's going on?
The natives will treat you as a god, but your own kind will only treat you as a mutant or someone with a cheat.
So Wang Shan actually had only one choice, which was to hide in the deep mountains and forests.
Fortunately, according to his estimation, it would take at least 30 years for the southern people to truly assimilate into the Ming Dynasty.
So he chose to resign.
Of course, he still left behind 1000 soldiers as his own.
Let them communicate through a single line and never reveal their presence.
He entered a deep forest that had been prepared long ago.
This rich province is full of rocks and mountains. Even in the most dangerous times, it is very safe, let alone these time travelers?
So he chose to fake his death to escape, lived in seclusion, and received news from time to time.
The circumstances of the death attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people.
When a ship exploded and sank, he had prepared a corpse wearing his official uniform and private seal to replace himself.
For this he killed hundreds of innocent people.
The survivors were all witnesses to his death, and the matter was reported to the court and can be checked in the archives.
When the body was salvaged, it had turned into bones.
Anyway, all his own DNA remains have been cleaned up and have not been leaked.
……
Just two years later.
The family of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was arrested and became research material as living fossils of the emperor.
Everyone is very interested in the emperor's mentality, lifestyle, how he maintains his power...
Basically, I ask this question three times a day.
Five years later.
Most of the important cities of the Ming Dynasty were destroyed.
Under the attack of large amounts of food, cloth and silver, one heavy military group after another collapsed.
The county town where he was previously located was also occupied by the guide.
Another two years passed.
He got the news that the double-door had been discovered.
Zhang Ming appeared again in broad daylight, and he gathered together with other time travelers.
"In fact, I wanted to find you guys a long time ago, but I was restricted here at the time, and I ran into that bastard Wang Shan..."
Upon hearing that there was another time traveler, the southerners naturally took it very seriously.
Afterwards, Zhang Ming took his men to the grave where he faked his death and escaped, danced, and opened the coffin to examine the body.
"Hahaha, Wang Shan, you bastard, you deserve to die!"
"You let me be intimidated, but you still want to cross the river and destroy the bridge. You also said that Jiajing succeeded in cultivating immortals, and Jiajing's family has become protected animals!"
