Chapter 262: Is It Really a Huge Ball Under Your Feet?

After Fu Shanxiang read this paragraph, he was also shocked in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This Holy King's army of captives is too strong, and its combat power is amazing.

If what was said in this newspaper was true, then the Manchus were losing ground and were almost powerless to fight back. However, looking at the number of people and dates written in this newspaper, they are very accurate, and there is a high probability that it will be true, and this kind of thing, if you have the heart, you can find out at once, so it is really not good to lie. So, it's all true?

Killed 1,400 opponents, and only 67 of his own casualties? Doesn't that mean that the strength of the captive army is so strong, that what Xiangyong wants to compare with, it is simply a bunch of local chickens and dogs. It's scary to think about. In this way, the Manchus were far from being their opponents.

Not only Fu Shanxiang thought so, but the passers-by around him were also taken aback and discussed!

"It's worthy of the army brought out by the Holy King, my captive army is so strong, I killed that Manchu dog soldier!"

"Yes! If this continues, in a few years, our Liangguang army will be able to march to Kyoto and drive the Tartar Emperor back to Liaodong. ”

"'All demons are paper tigers', what the Holy King said is really a wise saying! The villain looked at that, the Manchu Tartars should have been covered up and returned to their Liaodong to be savages. ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk so much nonsense, who doesn't know that the Holy King's army is extremely powerful? Let this young lady continue to read the newspaper. ”

“……..”

Fu Shanxiang finished reading this current affairs news on the side of the Holy King, but saw that there was a paragraph of current affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Manchu Qing Dynasty below. She continued to read curiously: "After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom captured Jiangning City, it was renamed Tianjing and designated as the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In late February, they occupied Yangzhou and cut off the luck of the Qing Demon. On the ninth day of the first month of March, Xiang Rong, the minister of the Qing Demon, led the army to garrison Xiaolingwei and established the Jiangnan camp, and the Qing Qin minister Qi Shan led the army to the outside of Yangzhou City, established the Jiangbei camp, and blockaded Tianjing. The author speculates that after a month of preparation, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will soon send troops to the Northern Expedition to attack the important land of the Qing Demon Jing. ”

"In the fourth lunar month, Russian Tsar Nicholas I ordered Russian-American companies to occupy Sakhalin and ordered Admiral Nevelskoy to establish a post on the east and west shores of Sakhalin."

"In mid-April, it was found that the demon household department only had 423,000 taels of silver, which was less than four months' salary. The Qing Demon Imperial Court was prepared to adopt measures such as opening donations, selling official titles, minting large amounts of money, issuing official tickets and money tickets, and increasing taxes, etc., to squeeze the money of the people under its rule for the Manchu banner people to squander. ”

Yes? How did these become known to the people who wrote the newspaper? Bingxue's smart Fu Shanxiang knew that once these news were known by the people under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, it would definitely be angry and resentful. However, she couldn't manage it so wide in Guangzhou, so she put it aside and turned the third page to read it.

But in her ears, she heard the onlookers around her who were listening to her read the newspaper and began to talk again.

"Look, look, Lao Tzu just said that this Manchu dog emperor is not well-intentioned! Fortunately, Lao Tzu lived in Guangzhou, and there was a holy king who drove away the Manchu Tartars, and he no longer had to be oppressed by the Tartars. This man was glad that he lived in Canton, free from the rule of the Manchus.

"Haha, I can't imagine that the Manchu court is so poor, and the soldiers can't be paid, no wonder they can't beat the captive army! If I want to be replaced by a Manchu soldier, I won't die for the Dog Emperor! "It's schadenfreude.

"Yes, but in this way, we will have to loot the people's fat and ointment more fiercely. I'm afraid that the people under the rule of the Manchu court will have a hard life again! ”

"The hateful thing is that the looted people's fat and ointment were all squandered by those Manchu banner people. No, I have a few distant relatives who are still in Xixi, and I sent a letter to let them flee to Guangzhou to make a living, which is better than being exploited and oppressed there until they starve to death. ”

Fu Shanxiang was deeply touched. Didn't he come to Guangzhou from the Manchu ruling area? She shook her head and continued to read the last page of the newspaper, the third edition, but it was an introduction to some knowledge of the world.

"The world we live in is called Earth, and as the name suggests, it's a giant ball!"

As soon as Fu Shanxiang said a sentence, the onlookers shushed: "How is it possible?" If it's just a ball, don't run everywhere? ”

"That is, if it is a ball, then it is not unstable and is about to fall. Fallacy! Ridiculous! A scholar-like person who came from nowhere also shook his head and reprimanded the demon.

Fu Shanxiang happened to have read the translated foreign books that his uncle had placed at home in the past two days, and he knew some knowledge that foreigners had studied. Her heart moved, and she said loudly: "Everyone, the little girl also knows that we live on a big sphere. ”

"Oh, you woman, you are talking nonsense. I'd like to hear it, what reason do you have? The scholar said angrily: "You still know some words, haven't you heard that since ancient times, the sages have a saying that 'the sky is round and the place is round'?" ”

"That is, the sky is round, who doesn't know this? Originally, I saw that this newspaper was quite good, but I didn't expect it to be talking nonsense, so it seems that the previous words are also doubtful! A middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper also echoed the scholar.

"Don't worry, the newspaper has expected that some people will not believe it, so they have given some examples." Fu Shanxiang smiled, and then read down:

If you don't believe it, something will prove it! Whoever has sailed out on a boat, or on the seashore, but when he sees a sailboat in the distance, he must first see the sail and the mast, and then slowly see the hull! Think about it, why is this happening? There is only one explanation, as long as it is far away, even the sea water is not flat, but a round ball, so the sea water can block the sailboat, and only when it is slowly approaching, will the mast on the top first emerge, and then the hull on the water. ”

Fu Shanxiang continued: "There is also a phenomenon, as the saying goes, climb high and look far, from this point, it can also be deduced that the world we live in is a huge ball, just like the moon and the sun. When you see an ant climbing on a domed mound, what it sees is that the domed mound is also flat, and we are the same. ”

"The main thing is, you look at the back article in this newspaper, which explains this matter! The little woman reads it. Fu Shanxiang read the Chinese characters in the newspaper: "The country that occupies Macao is called Portugal." More than 300 years ago, there was a Portuguese captain named Magellan, led an expedition fleet, starting from neighboring Spain, always sailing eastward, it took 1,082 days, sailed 120,000 miles, and returned to the same place. From this point of view, the place under our feet is indeed a huge ball! ”

Fu Shanxiang said this, and couldn't help but secretly say: Unexpectedly, those foreigners have already figured out that we live on a huge ball three hundred years ago, and we are still willing to believe that this difference is really big. For a moment, she understood the purpose of this newspaper to open these knowledge pages!

And the scholar next to him no longer shook his head. He was stunned: that's true! So, are you really living on a giant ball?

He knew what the newspapers were saying was true. Even the fact that the foreigner drove the ship around the world must be true, this kind of thing cannot be faked.

He looked up at the sun again, and he hadn't noticed that the round sun was actually a huge fireball. Suddenly, he felt that his previous ideas had collapsed. Even the words of the saints, are they wrong? How so?

So, the scholar who had just passed by and had never thought of getting a newspaper began to walk up to the newsboy and ask for a newspaper.

The scholar secretly thought, to take a good look at what other strange things are going on in this newspaper?

On Fu Shanxiang's side, seeing that it was not early, he refused the request of the onlookers to continue reading, and hurriedly led his eldest cousin back to the mansion where he lived.

At night, Fu Shanxiang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep no matter what, and only one voice sounded in his head: If you want to sign up for the officer cadet recruited by the military academy, you have to look at the outside world. (To be continued.) )
