C1772 Shang Tai King Ben Ji (1/2)
History turned on Shang Tai. In the parallel world of Xiao Letian's previous life, Shang Tai ascended the throne at the age of four, the Ryukyu Nation had been abolished by Japan for eleven years, and Guang Xu had been crippled twice for five years. This time, he was forcefully kidnapped and brought to the capital of Japan.
After that was the imprisonment in Tokyo. Although they were unaffected by food and clothing, they no longer had any freedom until 1901 when King Shang Tai died in Tokyo. He was buried in Naga after he died.
It was a tragic world, not only did the Chinese nation suffer, the weaker Subordinate States suffered even more.
Even though a large country experiences hardships, as long as a group of heroes erupts, they will be able to turn the tide and turn the tides.
However, a small country is different. The weak and the poor living in extreme poverty. Even if a few heroes appear, it is destined to be a tragedy for life.
But now, everything had changed within the parallel worlds that Xiao Letian resided in. had taken the initiative to present himself as the ruler, even though it looked like he had lost the power of the king, he had lost a steel blade that pursued his life.
In front of the whole world, Shang Tai had given all his rights to the Chinese, leaving only the title of King and all its benefits. This made other ambitious people unable to deal with him.
Even if you imprison, even if you put the steel blade on his neck, you won't be able to take away all the rights of the Ryukyu, because the power is in the hands of the council, in the hands of the people.
If you want to obtain the land, people and power of the Ryukyu, you will have to snatch it from the hands of the Chinese Parliament. If you want to get close to the Chinese Parliament, you will have to see if you can beat the Chinese army.
King Shang Tai's business was definitely not losing out. Using his poisoned powers to exchange for a huge protective net, allowing him to escape from the fate of perdition and live a rich life, this was a good deal.
The truth had proven everything. Among all the books written by future generations of the kings in the Ryukyu, the one with the most praises for the king was Shang Tai.
When was still alive, he was evaluated by the global media as the monarch who followed the flow of history the most in the era of feudalism. In the hearts of the young people who started to have a free and democratic culture later on, he had already become a model of the bloodless movement.
Which king in the world is willing to give up his power? However, Shang Tai was able to do it, which provided the perfect example of a future dynasty turning into another regime without any bloodshed.
It is their business whether other nations learn or not, but this precedent, like a beacon, will illuminate the history of mankind.
Shang Tai's influence was not only limited to that, but with the huge amount of funds from the Hidden Dragon Project, he could even use that money to do his favorite adventurous business.
During Xiao Letian and Zai Chun's trip to Europe, on the way from Ryukyu to Suez Canal, King Shang Tai's Adventurer King ship had been sailing in formation with a large group, until the Nile entered the sea before parting ways.
Just as Xiao Letian and Zai Chun were sweeping across the headlines of European newspapers, as the flames of war between France and China were rising, Shang Tai exposed his huge weakness in Egypt.
The Expedition that he had created with great wealth had discovered a hidden treasure chamber within the Ku Fu pyramid, and he had discovered the mysterious Emperor Valley in the desert that was filled with yellow sand … In just half a year, King Shang Tai had actually discovered as many as 12 archaeological discoveries, and he had discovered as many as 1100 ancient Egyptian artifacts.
At that time, the British Empire Museum quickly contacted Shang Tai, trying to use a lot of money to buy these artifacts. Unfortunately, Shang Tai had a lot of money and did not care about the price that the British offered.
More than 1,100 cultural relics were shipped to the Ryukyu, two-thirds of which eventually became precious collections in the Prime Minister's museum, and a third was used to exchange for Chinese cultural relics with the British. At that time, the number of Chinese cultural relics preserved in the UK was not many, and the loss of Chinese cultural relics was not that serious.
