"Heavenly soldiers?"
Lin Yu looked at the young girl curiously, surprised by the way she addressed him.
"Aren't you the reinforcements sent by the Heavenly Father to save our kingdom?”
Seeing Lin Yu's surprised expression, the woman was also very surprised.
When the Flame Dragon had fired its cannon and chased away the pursuing Qing Dynasty, almost everyone thought that the warship on the river was a rescue sent by their Heavenly Father.
If it wasn't for the Heavenly Father, how could such a powerful warship and cannon appear?
Lin Yu really couldn't explain this. He couldn't tell the other party that he had transmigrated while playing a game, right?
"Just now, you said that your Kingdom of Heaven, what do you mean by Kingdom of Heaven?”
He did not continue to dwell on this topic and changed the subject.
The Kingdom of Heaven mentioned by the woman piqued his interest. She was wearing yellow clothes and did not tie her hair.
Lin Yu had roughly guessed the era they had transmigrated to.
This should be the Taiping Country from 1851 to 1864!
However, the Taiping Country had a long history. What year was it?
"Kingdom of Heaven? Heavenly State was the Taiping Heavenly State established by the Heavenly King!”
The girl was puzzled by Lin Yu's reaction. The whole world should know the name of Taiping Country, right?
After all, they had been revolting for more than ten years and had conquered more than ten provinces. At most, they ruled over more than 100 million people. They had even once terrorized the Qing court and almost overthrew the Qing Dynasty.
Although Heavenly State had already failed, after so many years, Heavenly State's reputation should be known by everyone.
Since the other party was a heavenly soldier sent by the Heavenly Father, shouldn't he know all this?
Why was he asking her?
"Then let me ask you, how many years is this in Heavenly State? Who are the Qing soldiers chasing after you?”
……
After spending a few minutes combining the information he received from the girl, Lin Yu finally understood the current situation.
They should have transmigrated to 1864.
Three days ago, under Zeng Guofan's leadership, the Qing army had just breached the Taiping Country's capital, Tianjing.
The girl in front of him was sixteen years old this year. She was Hong Tianmei, the eldest daughter of Hong Xiuquan, also known as Princess Yi Mei.
After breaking through the city, she was protected by the soldiers and fought her way out of the siege. Under the escort of her uncle, she was prepared to take a boat to seek refuge overseas.
As a result, they encountered the Qing court's pursuers on the way. Before they could board the ship, the guards around them were all dead.
Well, not all of them were dead. The soldiers found a few people who were seriously injured and still breathing.
"Uncle Hong, how are you? Don't die, don't leave me!”
Coincidentally, one of the wounded soldiers was the one who had escorted Hong Tianmei along the way. From the way she addressed him, he should be Hong Xiuquan's brother, her uncle.
Lin Yu took a look. It was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had been shot in the back and had lost too much blood to pass out.
With the medical standards of this era, this kind of injury was basically incurable.
However, if Lin Yu was willing to make a move, there might be a chance of survival.
After all, there was a special infirmary and doctor on the Flame Dragon battleship to treat all kinds of injuries. After all, in modern naval battles, it was normal for wounded soldiers to appear in battle.
If these wounded soldiers could be dealt with in time after being injured, there was a high chance that they could survive.
After thinking for a moment, he felt that these people might still be useful to him, so Lin Yu called the medic over,"
"Medic!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Help them stop the bleeding, then immediately transfer them to the ship and see if they can be rescued successfully!”
"Understood!"
The soldiers on the ship carried out Lin Yu's orders meticulously!
"Thank you, thank you!"
Hong Tianmei expressed her gratitude to Lin Yu as the soldiers carried Uncle Hong onto the stretcher and sent him to the small boat.
"You're welcome. Let's go up too. It's not safe here. After all, the Qing army may come at any time!”
If it had been an ordinary soldier, the Qing army might not have chased after him. But since it was Hong Xiuquan's brother and daughter who had escaped, the Qing army would not let go of such a big fish.
Therefore, Lin Yu felt that it would be safer for them to move to Flame Dragon as soon as possible!
"Yes!"
Hong Tianmei did not reject Lin Yu's suggestion.
After all, it was much safer to be with the other party than to stay here and wait for the Qing army to catch them!
Moreover, from the contact just now, she had a good influence on Lin Yu.
Although he was dressed differently from the other men in Heavenly State, his well-ironed military uniform and handsome face made her fascinated.
Hence, she kept sneaking glances at Lin Yu along the way.
Lin Yu did not pay much attention to the infatuated gaze of the princess of Heavenly State beside him.
He was sorting out his thoughts, trying to sort out the information of this era.
He was thinking about what he should do next!？
In 1864, the world was in the midst of drastic changes.
In North America, the world's most powerful country, Yingchan, was caught in a bitter civil war.
This war had been going on for four years. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers had been killed or injured on both sides, and millions of people had been displaced. The war had brought great destruction to the entire Yingjiang.
However, if nothing unexpected happened, this war should end next year. After that, Yingchan would welcome the opportunity to rise and quickly surpass the overlord of the old era to become the new overlord of the world!
In Europe, under the leadership of the iron-blooded prime minister, Bismarck, the military power of Princes began to rise rapidly. In 1864, the Prussian-German War, in 1866, the Prussian-Austrian War, and in 1870, the Franco-Prussianist War!
These three wars gradually established their rule over the Deyizhi region, and finally realized the unification and rise of the Deyizhi region!
The rising De Yizhi would directly challenge the world overlord, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets. The huge conflict between the new strong country and the old empire would bring great destruction to Europe and the entire world in the future!
As for the other superpowers, they were all busy expanding wantonly, constantly expanding their territory.
In this context where the whole world was undergoing drastic changes, the conservative Qing court still adopted a policy of closing the country off, causing China to continue to sink into the abyss of eternal damnation!
Lin Yu did not have any hope for such a rotten and incompetent rule.
The Qing court, who could say that they would rather be friends than slaves, did not care about the lives of the 300 million people in this country.
As long as he could maintain his supreme ruling position and maintain the standard of living of his nobles, it was enough!
As for the life and death of the people at the bottom and the rise and fall of the country, what did it have to do with them?
Therefore, Lin Yu made up his mind at this moment to overthrow this rotten empire and lead the Celestial Empire to a new life!
However, could he really overthrow the Qing court by himself and such a warship?
