Chapter 345: Deduction and Settlement (Part 2)
"."
in space.
Looking at the word Luo Feng that appeared in front of him.
Xu Yun's mood suddenly became a little subtle.
Tell the truth.
This is not the first time he has seen the deduction of his ‘vest’.
For example, in the deduction results of Lao Su's copy, he appeared once as 'Wang Lin'.
However, the influence of ‘Wang Lin’ in the 1100 dungeon is not too great. It is more of a trick similar to easter eggs.
But the current copy of 1850 is different.
In a sense.
The true identity of Xu Yun or Luo Feng is one of the key keys to unlocking the mystery of the entire story.
Think of this.
Xu Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath.
I put my feelings about the wheat and Prince Maxwell behind me and read on seriously.
【Luo Feng】：
【Initial line】：
Copy characters without historical prototypes, the following content is for ‘setting’ purposes only.
Luo Feng.
male.
24 years old.
postgraduate.
His father was a bodyguard of Niangan in the Qing Dynasty. He was sent to the Netherlands in 1831 to collect intelligence. He died in 1837 due to the impact of the Anglo-Dutch War.
Luo Feng was raised by his father's friend until he grew up, and his true identity was Tang'a, a stickman worshiper in the Qing Dynasty.
Early 1850.
Aixinjueluo Duanhua, the fourth Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty, learned that Britain was about to start a war in the East, so he wanted to trade treasures with the British nobles through James Bruce, the eighth Earl of Elgin, as the leader.
May 1850.
He sent his confidant Guo Cheng to set out with heavy treasures and more than ten followers.
It took Guo Cheng and others four months to secretly arrive in the Netherlands and connect with Luo Feng through the intelligence line at Sticky Rod.
The end of September 1850.
Luo Feng left the Netherlands by boat with Guo Cheng and others as a 'guide' and arrived in Aberdeen, Scotland half a month later, planning to secretly reach London southward.
Guo Cheng accidentally saw the appearance of the treasure while assisting Fang Shaozhong on the way, and he became interested in making money.
So he gathered his accomplices and launched a firefight at night.
Luo Feng died during the fire, and his body was thrown into the wilderness and eaten by wild dogs.

Luo Feng, who was supposed to be dead, stood up from his dying illness and was saved by James Clerk Maxwell and William Thomson.
Later Luo Feng revealed his identity as a "descendant of fat fish" and entered Cambridge University.
Two greater-than signs were added to the right side of history in one year.
Late 1851.
Luo Feng and members of the Gewu Society completed several important experiments and shattered the foundation of the physics building, causing a shocking shock in the physics world.
However, Luo Feng was attacked by gangsters that night and died in an explosion that will remain a mystery to future generations.
The explosion completely destroyed and ignited the courtyard where Luo Feng was located. At the same time, for some unknown reason, the intensity of the courtyard fire was much higher than ordinary fires.
When the fire was extinguished, all the bones of Luo Feng and the attacker were gone.
Later, he made a contribution in memory of Luo Feng.
The University of Cambridge has successively established the Luo Feng Laboratory, the Luo Feng Prize in Physics, the Luo Feng Mathematics Prize, and the Luo Feng College.
A statue of his figure is placed at the entrance of Cambridge Library, second only to Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell.
The British royal family also made an exception and set up a tombstone for Luo Feng in Westminster Abbey, with Luo Feng's famous sayings engraved on it:
【Don’t stop! 】
In the East more than a hundred years later.
Luo Feng has become one of the commonly used tools among Chinese students. The sentence pattern "Luo Feng once said XXXX" can be seen in various compositions.
[Character Comments]:
Luo Feng's appearance was like a shooting star, which only shone for a moment, but left countless reveries for future generations.
Shi Shi rubbed his butt shyly, blushing and wanting to do it again, but found that Si Ren had disappeared without a trace.
"."
So far.
The deduction of ‘Luo Feng’ is completed.
But before Xu Yun had time to think, the light curtain changed again.
【Angelia Silver】：
【Initial line】：
A British orphan at the end of the 19th century, a member of the "Magic Hand" thieves group in London.
Skilled in stealing, he died of pneumoconiosis at the age of 14.
【Copy Line】：
Influenced by Wallfacer.
Fang Shaozhong, who had killed his boss, sneaked into London and used information gaps to take over the "Magic Hand" thieves group that also belonged to Prince Zheng's intelligence system, intending to take advantage of London's millions of people to fish in troubled waters.
Under pressure, Fang Shaozhong became irritable and erratic. After being drunk one time, he beat to death "Frege" who was not related to Sylph but had a close relationship with her.
After Frege's death.
Sylph was determined to escape from the thieves and stole Fang Shaozhong's valuable treasure before leaving.
He was later rescued by Aveline Ayscough and William Thomson, brought back to Cambridge University, and placed in the orphanage of Trinity College Church.
The Christmas dinner of the same year was discovered by Tian Hao, a stick worshiper, but Tian Hao did not report the matter.
The night of Albert's attack.
Tian Haosuo took Sylph to Luo Feng's dormitory and placed her secretly.
Sylph, who was extremely panicked, developed a special affection for Maxwell, who was the first to rush back to the dormitory. Eventually, the two got married in 1872.
After marriage, they had two sons and two daughters, and their family was happy.
1909.
Two years after Maxwell's death, Silver died of illness.
His eldest son, Arrow Maxwell, wrote the memoir "My President Father" and once won the Cambridge University Literary Merit Award.
It is mentioned many times in the book that my mother likes to hit people on the head with heavy physics books, which is highly suspected of PTSD.
【Shi Yuanbiao】：
【Initial line】：
One of the smugglers who emerged from the Queen of Crows, cooperated with foreigners and lured large numbers of workers to work in Europe and America.
He was hanged by angry oriental laborers during the 1853 Chinese labor riot in Yorkshire, and he was beheaded after his death.
【Copy Line】：
Influenced by Wallfacer.
Shi Yuanbiao came to Britain in 1835, and his actual identity was the chief of the Niangan guards who was higher than Niangan Baitang.
After many years of operation, it also had close contacts with the Whig Party.
Fang Shaozhong wanted to kill again and silence Guo Cheng after the fire, but one of his men survived by chance and escaped to London and informed Shi Yuanbiao of the news.
Shi Yuanbiao then joined forces with James Bruce, the eighth Earl of Elgin, to search for Fang Shaozhong, and found traces of the target in November 1850.
Shi Yuanbiao led his men to wipe out the 'Devil Hand' thieves group. Before his death, Fang Shaozhong could not bear the severe punishment and confessed that the treasure fell into Sylph's hands.
November 1851.
Shi Yuanbiao reached an agreement with some members of the Whig Party, Scotland, and Tsarist Russia and cooperated in planning the Cambridge University attack.
Later, when the 'treasure' was handed over to the mastermind behind the scenes, Arthur Wellesley, the treasure exploded and Arthur Wellesley and James Bruce died on the spot.
"."
After watching the deductions of Sylph and Shi Yuanbiao who appeared later, Xu Yun's mind suddenly shook.
The truth about the entire copy suddenly appeared in front of him.
So that’s what happened
Students with good memories may remember it.
Throughout the 1850 copies.
When Xu Yun mentioned the Qing Dynasty, he basically used the word "rotten" to describe the Eastern regime.
But other than that.
But he never used words such as ignorance and closedness.
Because
From the beginning to the end, the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty was not ignorant of the pattern of the world, but was very clear about it.
This relies on the Sticking Department, also known as Shang Yu's backup department, a secret service and intelligence department of the Qing Dynasty.
Initially in Prince Yong's Mansion, the members of Niangan Department were mainly the retainers and servants of the Prince's Mansion.
Their main job is to help Prince Yong Yinzhen, who likes peace and quiet, drive away the noisy cicadas.
Just like what many rural children in later generations played when they were young, they used a stick covered with mesh to 'stick' cicadas.
But in a hurry, this group of people suddenly discovered a situation:
The "sticky pole" was actually a good cover, and they discovered many secrets as they climbed up and down.
During the tense period when the Nine Sons were competing for the throne, Yinzhen began to ask these people to carry out exploratory tasks.
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne.
He retained the stick-stick department and officially became an agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Yongzheng was very careful in selecting the personnel of the Niangan Department. The leader of the Niangan Department was called the Niangan Guards, and most of them were former confidants of Yongzheng's former palace.
Other members are called Nianganbaitanga.
It was not until the reign of Emperor Jiaqing that the sticky pole was officially abolished.
According to the retrieval database attached to the report "Full-text retrieval database of Manchu archives is open to the public" published by the National Archives Information Network through Guangming Daily in 2019, it can be seen.
long before 1820.
The agents at Sticky Rod had already collected a large amount of intelligence about the world at that time.
They not only knew the ins and outs of the French Revolution, but also knew that the first comprehensive industrial revolution had occurred in Britain.
And have a clear understanding of the latest information on British ships sailing in the world's oceans.
Let’s take another example.
"Macartney's Diary".
June 1793.
After a long journey of 9 months.
The Macartney mission sent by the British royal family finally arrived at the coast of Tianjin, and then went to the capital to meet Qianlong.
After Macartney submitted his credentials to King George III and made a request for trade, Qianlong simply refused.
And answered the famous sentence:
"The Celestial Empire is rich in products and has everything. It originally did not borrow goods from foreigners to make up for what was available. Especially because the tea, porcelain, and silk produced by the Celestial Empire are indispensable to Western countries and your country, so I am showing kindness and compassion."< br>
According to the description in "Macartney's Diary".
At that time, in order to achieve the purpose of trade, the British mission brought over the most advanced products of the Industrial Revolution.
These even include carbine rifles and repeating pistols.
But when Macartney confidently placed these items in front of the reception minister Fukangan, his attitude seemed extremely cold.
According to the original words of "Macartney's Diary".
Fukang'an just "not only ignored it, but even stopped smiling every day from then on."
He just said: "There is nothing unusual about this kind of weapon handling method. You can look at it or not."
At the same time.
Fukangan can skillfully use various firearms and equipment without Macartney's teaching.
Therefore, Macartney was extremely puzzled and recorded the matter in his calendar.
The reason for this situation was given by Frenchman Qian Deming before his death in the same year:
Qianlong knew about the French Revolution before Macartney arrived.
Therefore, at that time, Qianlong naturally had a low opinion of Britain, which also restricted the power of the royal family.
To know.
Louis XVI was beheaded on January 21, 1793. It took at least three or four months to return to the East from France.
Two months before the Macartney mission arrived, Qianlong learned that Louis XVI had been beheaded.
There are many similar examples, far beyond what can be described by simply closing the country to another country.
The ruling class of the Qing Dynasty was not completely isolated from the world at that time, but they were always on guard against the Han people, and ethnic conflicts were even higher than class conflicts at that time.
Therefore, Xu Yun's view of the Qing Dynasty has always been 'rotten', and he would hardly use the word 'closed' to describe it.
This is also the reason why he is unwilling to extend the life of the Qing Dynasty - those people are really stupid and bad.
And it's obvious.
The sticking point in this copy was not canceled by Jiaqing, but has continued to this day.
Xu Yun, Shi Yuanbiao and even Tian Haosuo are all members of Sticky Branch.
But what surprised Xu Yun even more was.
The masterminds behind the deal with Prince Zheng turned out to be James Bruce and Arthur Wellesley.
It was in the copy before.
When Xu Yun heard Aveline introduce James Bruce, he felt a vague sense of familiarity.
It's just that he is a bit of a novice when it comes to history, and he can't remember the other party's identity anyway.
But when he saw the 'Eighth Earl of Elgin' in the deduction results, he immediately remembered the other party's identity:
Isn't this the biggest culprit behind the burning of the Old Summer Palace? !
To be precise.
The Elgin family is a family of robbers.
For example, Thomas Bruce, the father of James Bruce.
The seventh Earl of Elgin plundered this ancient civilization in Greece.
He also removed one of the columns from the Parthenon in Greece and brought it back to England, where it is now placed in Hall 17 next to the Duveen Hall of the British Museum.
As for James Bruce, it's even more shameless.
He successively looted a large amount of wealth from the Old Summer Palace, and finally burned the Old Summer Palace to the ground.
Since then, a large number of Chinese national treasures have either turned into ashes or wandered to other places.
Later opinions on the number of cultural relics looted from the Old Summer Palace varied, but the total amount was probably between 1 million and 1.5 million. (I don’t know if spoons and chopsticks are included here)
As for James Bruce alone, the number of cultural relics he stole was no less than 40,000.
In addition, when James Bruce was in Guangdong Province, he allowed his men to massacre civilians, and even committed many evil deeds that made me sick just reading the words.
If anything Henry John Temple was the man behind One Crow and Two Crows.
Then James Bruce was undoubtedly the chief culprit among the invaders who participated in the war.
But then again.
No matter how serious James Bruce's crime was, it was not enough for him to have the qualifications to trade with Prince Zheng - after all, he was just an earl.
Therefore, the real mastermind of the entire transaction is actually behind James Bruce
Arthur Wellesley.
You may not be familiar with this name, but if you talk about Wellington, many people may have heard of it.
That's right.
Arthur Wellesley
It was the Duke of Wellington who defeated Napoleon!
In 1815, he united the Prussian army to completely defeat Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. After the war, he was awarded the rank of marshal by Russia, Austria, Prussia, Hanover, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands.
In his later years, he formed the government twice and became the British Prime Minister.
In a 2002 BBC survey of the "100 Greatest Britons", Wellesley was ranked 15th.
However, everyone knows that Arthur Wellesley is Wellington's nemesis, but few people know that he is a complete money addict - and has a strong preference for Oriental treasures.
After a crow in history.
Arthur Wellesley collected at least 1,000 oriental treasures, and this was before the Second Crow broke out and the Old Summer Palace was not plundered.
At the same time, Arthur Wellesley also set up an ocean-going company in Xiangjiang, specializing in the business of oriental laborers. He repeatedly called oriental laborers "worms", saying that "it doesn't matter if they are crushed to death, just catch them again."
If Arthur Wellesley had not died in 1852 but had continued to live beyond the Second Crow, no one knows how many oriental cultural relics he would have collected.
True.
It is indeed remarkable that Arthur Wellesley defeated Napoleon. This is an achievement that can be recorded in military history and no one can deny it.
But that is an honor that belongs to the British and has nothing to do with the East.
What he did in the East was nothing short of a bandit.
As for the bomb that led to the death of Arthur Wellesley, James Bruce, and Shi Yuanbiao
Of course it was Xu Yun's handiwork. (End of chapter)
