Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Inexplicable King

"You're raising a pack of wolves."

"It's better than raising a flock of sheep."

"If there are more wolves, there will not be enough sheep to eat."

"In the past, we thought that the sky was round and the earth was just a flat land with the sky on it, and we thought so for many years, and the land under our feet was the center of the earth, hence the name China!

In fact, at a very early age, an ancient Greek named Pythagoras concluded that the earth was round and that there was a large ball under our feet, but there was no sufficient evidence.

It wasn't until 120 years ago that the Portuguese Magellan led a fleet of ships from Spain to the west, returning to Spain after three years.

It was the first time that man had circumnavigated the globe, and it also proved that the earth is round, and the size of the earth.

Using two different locations and at the same time, he calculated the circumference of the earth at 250,000 Stadias, equivalent to 79,000 li, by measuring the angle at which the sun's rays hit the ground.

After he made this proof, people still don't believe that the earth is a round ball, especially a big ball suspended in the air and constantly turning, and many people take this perception as a big joke, thinking that we have no problem standing on top of the big ball, and when the big ball turns, when we get to the bottom of the big ball, won't we fall into nothingness?

Others think it's a big joke, I don't think so, since there are already people who have the physical strength to do it, why don't I believe it?

Just forty years ago, there was a Westerner named Bruno who was burned to death by the Western Inquisition in order to defend this doctrine.

Official, since it has been proved that there is a full 79,000 miles around the earth, then, as a simple arithmetic problem, we can quickly figure out how big this ball is......

After all, from the capital to Xi'an, it is only two thousand miles, which is not a straight line distance.

Since the world is so big...... I don't think it's a big problem to train more wolves, as long as these wolves are willing to find grasslands and flocks for themselves. ”

Hong Chengchou looked at Yun Zhao puzzled.

Yun Zhao looked at Hong Chengchou with disdain.

Hong Chengchou coughed and said, "What you think is different from what I think." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "I am a wild boar spirit, I know astronomy and geography, you have to admit this, it is understandable that the thoughts of heavenly people and mortals are different." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Your eyes have never been on the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty is a fruit that has not yet matured for me, and when it is ripe, it will automatically fall into my pocket, and now, my pocket has been half knitted, and it will be completely woven in a few years, and at that time, you will look at the world again......"

"Your appearance reminds the old man of the Yellow Turban, the Green Forest, the Red Eyebrows, the White Lotus, the Maitreya ......"

"No, no, no, these are the objects that I am trying my best to eliminate, believing in these things will only make people more and more stupid, which is not good for China."

"But there's always something magical about you!"

"That's great wisdom!"

"The old man also has great wisdom."

"Your great wisdom is limited to abandoning the Ningjin Defense Line."

"When I was drinking with Lu Xiangsheng, he said that you seem to have the ability to predict the future many times, but when the old man asked again, he was reluctant to say more."

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "After you become the county magistrate of Qingshui County that day, if you talk to him again, he will know everything." ”

"So, you still have a lot to hide from me? I thought we were already allies. ”

"No, after you become the county magistrate of Qingshui County, we are in a gang, do you want to immediately give up your high-ranking official and become the magistrate of Qingshui County?"

Hong Chengchou smiled, then stood up and looked at the red lantern-like persimmons on the persimmon tree and said, "I'm not going to escape, I want to take over the hot potato of the governor of Jiliao." ”

Yun Zhao squinted his eyes and glanced at Hong Chengchou and said, "How could you suddenly have such a decision?" ”

Hong Chengchou laughed and said: "If I don't take over, do you want villains like Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, and Chen Xinjia to take over?" After I step down from the post of governor of Jiliao, it is not too late to go to my Qingshui County to serve as my county commander. ”

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "If you don't use the strength of the country to fight with Jiannu, how do you know that the old man is also a capable person of the country!" ”

Yun Zhao said in a low voice: "I heard that the anger is not rising." ”

Hong Chengchou vigorously pounded his chest and said: "There is always a flame here, if it is not released, the old man will not be able to sleep." ”

"Do you want me to help you?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "If I get the help of your soldiers, how can the emperor give me the position of the governor of Jiliao?" How can I be willing to put the last elite of Liaodong under my command?

Of course, if you support me with a batch of artillery, grenades, cannons, gunpowder and other things through the King of Qin, I will still laugh at it. ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "If you are accidentally captured alive by Jiannu, don't be busy surrendering, I will send someone to save you." ”

Hong Chengchou took a long breath and said, "You are so disoptimistic about me? Even my moral exercises have been thinned. ”

Yun Zhao continued: "I will give you whatever you want, whether it is through the King of Qin, through the King of Fu, or even through the Jinyi Guard, in short, there is no hidden danger for you to take, if you win, I will go out of the city to meet you, if you are defeated, I will also go out of the city to pick you up, even if you are captured alive, I have a way to rescue you, but you must not surrender."

Remember what we said when we first met? ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "Remember, you will kill me." ”

Yun Zhao said: "Now it's not just a matter of killing you, I will let you die in humiliation." ”

Yun Zhao's face was never more solemn than before, and Hong Chengchou was under great pressure, he gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you have to bite me to death, I will surrender to Jiannu?" ”

Yun Zhao said indifferently: "In my dream, you have already surrendered once. ”

Hong Chengchou's face was pale, but he laughed and said, "I won't let you get your wish!" ”

With that, he drank the wine in the jug in one gulp and walked away.

Seeing Hong Chengchou leaving, Xu Wuxiang leaned his head over and whispered, "County Zun, he doesn't look like a person who will surrender." ”

Yun Zhao glanced at Xu Wusi and said: "For these Ming officials, it is better for us to be more vigilant, I really can't find a few people who are willing to die for this dynasty in this Manchu Dynasty." ”

"You say, why did Hong Chengchou suddenly want to take over the official position of Governor of Jiliao, which he avoided?"

"It's not that Lu Xiangsheng is bewitched, this guy has been with Hong Chengchou for the past few days, and he must have told Hong Chengchou that he is the most suitable one, plus Hong Chengchou is also a little arrogant, so he agreed.

Lao Lu is good at everything, but he can't let go of his Ming Dynasty, and when he sees the world in the future, he doesn't know how painful it will be, alas...... This damn world doesn't allow people to live well. ”

Xu Wuxiang smiled and said, "It's none of our business, but Han Lingshan has a whereabouts, and he is now near Liaoyang." ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Is it safe?" ”

Xu Wu thought: "I can't talk about safety, but there are many Jianzhou people around him." ”

"Tell Wen Yushan to follow up."

Xu Wu thought and said: "Wen Yushan has returned to Shanhaiguan, there is no chance to enter Liaodong again, the life and death of Han Lingshan can only be controlled by himself, however, I am full of confidence in Boss Han, he will definitely be able to achieve a great cause." ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "How difficult it must be. ”

After taking a look at the location of Liaoyang on the map, he couldn't help but worry about Han Lingshan again.

At this time, Liaoyang is already the season of snowflakes, but, in the deep forest, the wooden houses are steaming, a mouthful of iron pots are hanging on the fire, the meat inside is tumbling, the meat aroma is mixed with the aroma of wine, fat powder, sweat, and stinky feet, but these still can't suppress the people in the wooden house from drinking and carnivaling.

Han Lingshan pulled his hand out of the arms of the North Korean woman, raised his wine glass and yelled at everyone: "! ”

Suddenly, strange screams rang out one after another in the huge wooden house.

After drinking three bowls of wine in a row, Han Lingshan got up from the crowd drunkenly and staggered towards the outside of the house.

After happily relieving himself on the snowy snow, Han Lingshan shivered, fastened his pants, grabbed a handful of snow from a wooden rafter and put it in his mouth, letting him melt it slowly.

Old Agu turned from the back of the wooden house, wiped the hoarfrost on his beard and whispered, "Su Hetai, when are we leaving?" ”

Han Lingshan said in a low voice, "Let's leave today." ”

"Just a hundred and ten of us?"

Han Lingshan nodded and said: "It's not a good thing for us to have a lot of people, you can also see it, we kindly shared the things we stole with them, and they sent people to tell them while enjoying them, we can't stay here." ”

"The whistleblower has already been killed by Marcuko."

"It's useless, old Agu, there will be two if there is one, except for the brothers who participated in this robbery, none of us can believe it, we killed it can be checked, God knows if someone else has already informed.

Now, we can only go back to the old forest to avoid the limelight.

When all these people are drunk, we will set off. I'm afraid the pursuers are already on their way. ”

Old Agu's snow-white beard shook and he made a motion with his hand to wipe his neck.

Han Lingshan hesitated and said, "It's all our clansmen......"

Old Agu said: "Since we have been deprived of all glory, the people here are no longer a race, everyone wants to climb out of this quagmire, and even climb out by stepping on other people's corpses, during this time, I have watched the clansmen intrigue, calculate with each other, fight each other, one beware of the other, one kills the other, Su Hetai, until you appeared, I felt that our clan finally had hope."

Su Hetai, when Nurhachi could rely on thirteen pairs of armor to raise troops, we can, even if we can't, as long as we become strong, Huang Taiji will forgive our sins and reuse us.

Suhetai, these people are useless, there is no determination to become Baturu, I have gathered a hundred and thirty people who want to regain glory, as long as we return to the old forest, we can go and catch the wild people in the old forest to join us, I know that there is a tribe of wild people near our old forest.

Suhetai do it! ”

Han Lingshan turned around and found that Ma Chuke, Bi Erdai, Bayan, Bai Chuke, Alin'a, Baili, Brukan, Qi Bushen, Dahasu, Dashan, Duolong and other Jianzhou people who had promised to rob Baicheng were all breathing white gas, looking at him with blazing eyes, and it could be seen that they had made up their minds to get rid of their current humble life.

"Su Hetai, do it!"

"Su Hetai, do it!"

"Let's do it!"

Han Lingshan took a long breath, took out a short knife and slashed a hole in his hand, letting the blood flow slowly on the snow, knelt on one knee, looked at the gray sky and said: "Su Hetai, the descendant of the blue wolf and white deer, swears hereby that he will treat all my brothers well, and will definitely take back the glory we once lost, I will definitely charge at the front, and I will be the last to retreat, and I will not abandon a brother, nor give up a brother......"

When Han Lingshan swore an oath, the elderly Agu laughed, and together with the rest of the Jianzhou people, he did not hesitate to slash his cheek with a dagger, raised his hands and swore allegiance to Su Hetai, believed in him, followed him, and did not regret it until the end of his life.

Han Lingshan put his broken hands on the broken faces of every Jianzhou person one by one, let the blood blend, and hugged every brother affectionately.

The last embraced the elderly Agu and said to the crowd, "When I die, Agu will be our king." ”

Old Agu smiled, turned around and hugged the archer Macuko and said, "After I die, Macuko will be king!" ”

After the oath of allegiance was over, Han Lingshan looked at the steaming wooden houses with cold eyes and said, "Let's start!" ”

Old Agu laughed and said, "I have already killed my woman, it's up to you." ”

Macuko sneered: "Except for us, we will all die!" ”

In the second chapter, I wanted to write 10,000 words, but it turned out to be 3,000 less, it's a pity, come on tomorrow! Ask for a ticket.
