March 16, 2018 is the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month and the last day of the first lunar month.

The climate is gradually getting warmer and the bone-chilling cold is no longer felt. Many people have taken off their down jackets and put on relatively light woolen clothes or loose cotton clothes.

The tourist bus is driving on the highway. Tourists get on the bus from Penglai Museum and head to the next tourist attraction.

It was relatively quiet inside the bus. Most of the people were not very interested in the Penglai Museum. The commentator’s simple explanation of the tragic battle of Dengzhou and Laizhou in the late Ming Dynasty failed to attract the attention of tourists, but the clichés about Penglai were more interesting.

Some people even asked about stories about gods and ghosts.

After getting on the bus, tourists either closed their eyes to relax, turned their heads to look at the scenery outside the window, or chatted in low voices.

Wu Zongrui, who was sitting at the back of the bus, was different from everyone else. He frowned and lowered his head in deep thought.

The tour bus left the highway and drove on the wide seaside road. After about ten minutes, it arrived at the next scenic spot.

...

"Old Wu, why are you thinking so much? The fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty are inevitable in historical development."

"I know, I'm just a little sorry."

"Ha, it seems that you finally agree with my views and opinions. As an expert on the history of the late Ming Dynasty, you also admit that the Qing Dynasty will inevitably rise and the Ming Dynasty is destined to perish."

"No, I am not an expert, that is, I am interested in the history of the late Ming Dynasty. In addition, I recognize the inevitability of historical development and the demise of the Ming Dynasty, but I do not recognize the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty."

"Look, you are still stubborn. It was clearly the Qing Dynasty that destroyed the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, on the surface, the Ming Dynasty perished due to the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, and decades of natural disasters that were rare in history. But the underlying reason was the Ming Dynasty itself. It was destroyed by its own decay and the emperor's

Stubbornness and tyranny, party disputes between ministers, eunuchs' interference in politics, corruption of officials, and inferiority of the army, all these long-term factors led to the collapse of this regime. The so-called rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was based on all of this."

"Okay, I have listened to these points of yours so many times that I have calluses in my ears. Facts speak louder than words. No matter how you defend the Ming Dynasty, the fact is that the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty."

Wu Zongrui looked at Liu Ning and sighed slightly.

"Old Liu, the reason why I regret the Ming Dynasty is actually that I regret that Greater China has lost hundreds of years of development opportunities..."

Liu Ning quickly raised his hand, intending to stop Wu Zongrui from saying the following words.

"Old Wu, be careful and don't show any ethnic discrimination. I have strongly felt your understanding."

"This is not ethnic discrimination, this is a fact..."

Wu Zongrui was a little excited and looked at Liu Ning.

"Under the historical conditions at that time, China and Han culture, represented by the Ming Dynasty, were ahead of the world. The development of the commodity economy and the emergence of overseas trade gave rise to the emergence of capital in society, the emergence of new schools of Confucianism, and the beginning of Han civilization.

By being inclusive and learning from the achievements of other civilizations, if this trend continues, given time, the Han civilization will surely burst into great glory and continue to stand proudly at the pinnacle of the world. However, all this came to an abrupt end because the Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains..."

"Look, this is ethnic discrimination on your part. Didn't the Qing Dynasty also have many years of glory? Can you deny it in the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong?"

"I didn't mean to discriminate against the Manchus. What I said was the truth. The Manchus at that time had just escaped from the slave society. They had no time to digest the Chinese civilization they learned, let alone absorb the Western civilization at that time. The Manchus conquered In the Central Plains, they were extremely arrogant and inferior to themselves, which made them focus on maintaining the rule of the Manchus and flaunting the orthodoxy and nobility of the Manchus. They not only suppressed Han culture, but also resisted Western civilization with all their strength. I do not deny the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong, but at that time, the world Great changes are also taking place. The Manchu Qing Dynasty's own isolation, Yelang's arrogance and complacency made them reject all foreign civilizations. It was precisely because of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's seclusion that it led to the history of humiliation in Greater China for more than a hundred years..."

Liu Ning looked at Wu Zongrui, whose face was slightly red, and couldn't laugh or cry.

"Old Wu, I won't argue with you anymore. When we travel, we should relax and enjoy the scenery. What's the point of arguing about these truths? Even if what you say is completely reasonable and correct, could it be that history has changed? , is it possible that you can travel back to the late Ming Dynasty to change history? Have you written too many online novels..."

Wu Zongrui looked at Liu Ning and was speechless. He wrote online novels for entertainment and making money. As for changing history, he is already in his forties, so of course he cannot be so naive.

Waves of sea breeze blew, and Wu Zongrui, who was looking at the sea not far away, was lost in thought again.

...

"You two, don't stand in the middle of the road. It's too dangerous..."

The tour guide holding a triangular flag pointed at Wu Zongrui and Liu Ning and trotted over with an angry look on his face.

Before the tour guide finished speaking, something unexpected happened suddenly, and an out-of-control car crashed into me at high speed.

The tour guide instinctively stopped and his face instantly turned pale...

Wu Zongrui turned his head and saw the car rushing towards him. It was too late to avoid him. In the light of the carbide fire, he instinctively reached out and pushed Liu Ning away from him.

"boom..."

Wu Zongrui's figure was like a fallen leaf, which was knocked into the air by the speeding car, crossed the road, and fell towards the steep coast.
