    The shipwreck did not have any impact on the development of the Taiping Rebellion. On the contrary, after the shipwreck, domestic shipbuilding companies called for building larger and safer shipping ships.  No one cared about the whereabouts of Xingzhen and her group, they were already dead.

    The cold war between Xiao Yungui and his wife did not last long, because the second prince Xiao Youfu proposed to study abroad. Of course, the couple was reluctant to give up, but no matter how much persuasion they tried, it was of no use. The things this boy decided would not be easily changed.  So Xiao Youfu left China and his parents when he was twelve years old, and went to Europe to study for ten years.  After traveling around Europe, Xiao Youfu returned to China at the age of twenty-two and began to work as a research professor at the Royal Academy of Sciences of China.

    Xiao Youfu was like a duck in water at the Royal Academy of Sciences. His lifelong research included electromagnetism and electronics, and he became a great inventor in China. All the new explosives, electric lights and other items he invented during his life were patented. Later, he used the patent fees to specially set up  The Xiao Youfu Prize was awarded to reward those who have contributed to scientific research in the world.  Of course, there is a difference between the Xiao Youfu Prize and the Nobel Prize of later generations. He had no prejudice and set up a special prize for the subject of mathematics.

    After the events of the Qing Dynasty came to an end, Xiao Yungui began to lead the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom into a period of rapid golden development. Domestic industry and commerce developed rapidly. New railways and factories were built everywhere. Minerals were developed in many places. The national strength was further consolidated.  improvement.

    During the American Civil War and the Prussian War, the Taiping Rebellion made a lot of war wealth. During the War to End Japan, the Taiping Rebellion sucked up the last bit of blood from Japan. More than 70% of Japan's gold and silver at that time flowed into China.  As a result, Japan's reform movement was delayed for twenty years.  When Japan found itself half a century behind China, it was no longer able to catch up. The unstable domestic situation reduced Japan to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, which was as miserable as China in the same period in later generations.

    In 1885, after twenty years of recuperation, China and Russia  China has completed its basic industrial transformation and has begun to become a modern industrial power, while Russia has also completed its domestic reforms.  After the changes brought about by development, another war broke out between the two sides over the control of Central Asia.  In July of that year, Russia began to intervene with troops under the pretext of civil strife breaking out in the Kazakh Khanate.  Immediately, the Taiping Rebellion declared that Russia's actions were an invasion of a country and immediately went to war with Russia.

    At this time, after twenty years of development, the railways to Xinjiang, Mongolia and other places have been connected. The leader in Xinjiang is still Shi Dakai. Shi Dakai, who is nearly fifty years old, leads the Northwest Taiping Army to resist Russia's retaliatory invasion.  At this time, the Northwest Taiping Army received a steady supply of arms and materials from the mainland. The war was tilted towards the Taiping Rebellion from the beginning, because the Russian railway had not yet been built to Central Asia at this time.  In later history, Russia began construction of the narrow-gauge railway from Turkmenbashi to Kizil-Alvat in 1879. It was built to Merv in 1886, to Samarkand in 1888, and to the section from Tashkent to Andijan in 1898.  In this time and space, because Russia was defeated in the war, the construction of railways in Central Asia came much later.  In 1885, Russia began to build the narrow-gauge railway from Turkmenbashi to Kizil-Alvat, and it was only then started.  Construction has not started yet.

    Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which has mastered the main supply transportation arteries, took the initiative. They received a steady stream of soldiers, arms, and supplies from the interior, while Russia suffered a big loss from supply difficulties.  The two sides fought a three-year war on the territory of the Kazakh Khanate, investing more than one million troops. In the end, the Taiping Rebellion won, and Russia lost more than 300,000 troops.  Finally, with the mediation of Britain, France and other countries, the war finally ceased.  Through the war, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom further stabilized the situation in northern Xinjiang.  Looking at Asia, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the largest power.

    In Nanyang region.  The Taiping Rebellion also began to colonize. In 1889, a war broke out between the Taiping Rebellion and Spain over control of the Philippines. Through the war, the Taiping Rebellion obtained the Philippine colony, further consolidating its control over Southeast Asia.  Then in 1893, the Taiping Rebellion invaded Hawaii and overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom. The Taiping Rebellion established a foothold in the Pacific and pushed the national defense circle further outward.

    In 1895, Xiao Chaogui, the founding emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of China, was critically ill. On his deathbed, he issued an edict to pass the throne to the eldest prince Xiao Youhe. At this time, the cabinet was already assisted by Wang Kaiyun. With the stability of him and the Empress Dowager Hong Xuanjiao, Xiao Youhe succeeded smoothly.  Ascended to the throne.

    During his life, Xiao Chaogui led the soldiers and civilians of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to overthrow the decadent Qing rule and opened the door to modern times for this ancient country. However, his domestic land reform was not complete. After the emerging bourgeois forces developed to a certain extent,  , has also begun to expose the problem of unfair distribution. Unfair distribution and the rise of the working class have laid hidden dangers for the country's reform.  But he has done enough in this life, just as he held Hong Xuanjiao's hand when he was dying and said: "IThe students can only go so far, and it will depend on how people continue to do it. But I think at the worst, the country will not fall into the same situation as we did in the same period in our previous life.  "

    After Xiao Yungui's death, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to embark on an unstable path. The contradiction between the domestic bourgeoisie and the proletariat became more and more prominent. Fortunately, Xiao Yungui passed away and Hong Yun'er was still there. In 1898, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established a constitutional monarchy.  Through reforms, the emperor's power was further weakened, which further satisfied the demands of various domestic forces.  But in 1910, the Empress Dowager Hong Xuanjiao and Wang Kaiyun also passed away one after another. Without the reminder of the mother of the country and the wise prime minister, Xiao Youhe, the second emperor of the Taiping Rebellion, let go of his hands. During the First World War, the Taiping Rebellion joined the Allies.  On the one hand, it allied with Prussia and Austria-Hungary to fight against Britain, France, Russia and other countries.

    Of course, history is always surprisingly similar. The First World War ended with the defeat of the Allied Powers. As the defeated country, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom broke out a revolution. The domestic proletariat rose up and demanded the abolition of the emperor and the establishment of a new republic.  As a result, the ancient country returned to its original historical trajectory. After more than 20 years of unremitting efforts, the domestic proletarian forces finally overthrew the monarchy and established a new republic.  The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom only passed down two emperors and then perished, which was just a little longer than the historical Republic of China. Of course, this was something neither Xiao Yungui nor Hong Yun'er knew.

    Time goes back to 1895 when Xiao Yungui was on his deathbed. After arranging the imperial edict and arrangements for important ministers, Xiao Yungui asked Hong Yun'er to stay alone. Naturally, the couple had something to say.

    Looking at her husband, who was already full of white hair and dying, tears kept rolling in Hong Yun'er's eyes. Xiao Yungui held Hong Yun'er's hand tightly with his old big hand, and said with a smile: "No need to cry, birth, old age, illness and death are all matters."  It¡¯s a common thing, maybe I¡¯ve traveled through my soul again.¡±

    Hong Yun'er cried and said, "You leave first. Where will I find you in a hundred years?"

    Xiao Yungui said with a slight smile: "Only now do I understand what the monk said to me before crossing Jizu Mountain. Things are unpredictable. Who knows what will happen next? As long as we follow our own hearts and do our best  You can do it yourself, maybe Si Xuan, Qing Yun and the others are already waiting for me in another world, I will go there first and wait for you there."

    Hong Yun'er burst into tears and said: "Agui, I will definitely come to you. We will still be together in the next life and never be separated."

    Xiao Yungui said with a faint smile: "Yes, the two of us are a society of resentment and will always be together. Yun'er, just take the secrets of the two of us underground."

    Hong Yun'er held Xiao Yungui's hand and nodded with tears in her eyes. Xiao Yungui's eyes began to wander, and he murmured to himself: "Yun'er, do you think what we have done in this time and space is enough?  ? I can only do this in my life, and it will depend on what people do next, but I think at the very least, the country will not fall into the same situation as we did in the same period in our previous life."

    Hong Yun'er gently touched Xiao Yungui's cheek and said softly: "You have done a good job. When future generations mention us, they will no longer talk about why we lost so much territory. If you are tired, just sleep  Bar¡­¡­"

    On that day, Xiao Yungui passed away, and the whole country mourned. When studying the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, historians of later generations of the Republic once said that no matter what the second emperor did later, at least the founding emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom laid the foundation for a strong and prosperous Republic.  It is precisely because of the efforts of him and Hong Xuanjiao, the founding mother of the country, that the territory of the Republic has been expanded to the maximum extent, and a greater living space has been obtained for future generations

    In 1910, the mother of the country Hong Xuanjiao passed away, and the whole country mourned. When later historians evaluated this outstanding woman, they said that the mother of the country was a model for women in the new century. She did a lot to liberate women and fight for women's rights. She was also a leader of a strong republic.  One of the founders

    In another parallel time and space, there is the same universe, the same galaxy, the same solar system and the earth. On the earth, there is also a country called China.  In this country's Capital University, a group of freshmen were welcomed that day. Among the freshmen was a girl with glasses and an unattractive appearance. She was squeezed outside the registration point and could not squeeze in. She was helpless and helpless.  While she was there, a whistle sounded behind her: "Beauty, do you need help?"

    Turning around, there was a boy who was a little older than her, dressed very richly. When the boy saw her appearance, he immediately frowned and said, "Damn, why is he a dinosaur wearing glasses?"

    The girl was very angry, stepped on him hard, and said angrily: "Why are you so rude?"

    The boy was stepped on until tears and snot flowed from his nose. The girl clapped her hands and laughed and said, "You still have a runny nose at such an old age. You are really a slug. You deserve it!"

     The boy snorted. After wiping his tears and nose, he looked at the girl strangely and said, "I am a junior in college. Why do you, a new school girl, look so familiar to me?"  ?I didn¡¯t get angry when you stepped on me.¡±

    "Yes, I feel the same way. If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to step on someone else's feet when we first meet" (To be continued)
