“You are raising a pack of wolves.”
“It is better than raising a pack of sheep.”
< p>"If there are too many 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 piece of land with the sky covering it. We have believed this for many years , and defined the land under our feet as the center of the earth, hence the name China!
In fact, very early on, an ancient Greek named Pythagoras concluded that the earth was round. , there is a big ball under our feet, but there is not enough evidence.
Until 120 years ago, the Portuguese Magellan led a fleet from Spain and sailed westward for three years. Years later, he returned to Spain.
This was the first time that humans sailed around the world. It also proved that the earth is round and the size of the earth.
He used two differences. At the same time, by measuring the angle of sunlight hitting the ground, the circumference of the earth was found to be 250,000 stadia (ancient Egyptian length unit), which is equivalent to 79,000 miles.
After he made this proof, people still did not believe that the earth was a round ball, especially a big ball suspended in the air and constantly rotating. Many people regarded this cognition as a big joke, thinking that we are standing on a big ball. There is no problem when we are above, but when the big ball turns and we get below it, won’t we fall into nothingness?
Others think this is a big joke, but I don’t think so, since there are already people there? Why don’t I believe it after practicing it?
Just forty years ago, a Westerner named Bruno was burned to death by the Western Inquisition for defending this doctrine. He died, but it made me believe in his theory even more.
Guard, since someone has proved that it is 79,000 miles around the earth, then, as a simple arithmetic problem, we will soon know. Can you tell how big this ball is...
After all, it is only two thousand miles from Beijing to Xi'an. This is not a straight line distance.
Since the world is so big...I. I don’t think it’s a big problem to cultivate more wolves, as long as these wolves are willing to find grasslands and sheep for themselves.”
Hong Chengchou looked at Yun Zhao in confusion.
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 from above and geography from below. , you have to admit that it is understandable that heavenly beings have different ideas from mortals."
Hong Chengchou said: "You have never set your sights on the Ming Dynasty, right?"
< p> Yun Zhao smiled and said: "The Ming Dynasty is an unripe fruit to me. When it matures, it will automatically fall into my pocket. Now, my pocket has been woven in half, and there are more It will be completely knitted in a few years. At that time, you can seeThe world...""Your appearance reminds me of the Yellow Turban, the Green Forest, the Red Eyebrow, the White Lotus, Maitreya..."
"No, no, no, I tried my best to get rid of these. Object, believing in these things will only make people more and more stupid, which is not good for China. ”
“But there is always something magical about you! ”
“That is great wisdom! ”
“I also have great wisdom. "
"Your great wisdom is limited to giving up the Ningjin defense line. "
"When Lu Xiangsheng and I were drinking, he said that you seemed to have the ability to predict the unknown many times. When I pressed him again, he was unwilling to say more. "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "When you become the magistrate of Qingshui County that day, if you talk to him again, he will know everything he can say. "
"So, you still have a lot of things to hide from me? I thought we were already allies. "
"No, after you become the magistrate of Qingshui County, we will be in the same group. Do you want to give up your high position immediately 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 am not going to run away. I want to take over the hot potato of Governor Ji Liao."
Yun Zhao glanced at Hong Chengchou sideways and said, "Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"
Hong Chengchou laughed and said: "If I don't take over, should I let villains like Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, and Chen Xinjia take over?" After I step down from the position of Governor of Jiliao, it will not be too late to go to my Qingshui County to assume the position of county magistrate.
Yun Zhao frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "If you don't use all the strength of the country to fight against Jiannu, how do you know that I am also a talented person of the country!" "
Yun Zhao whispered: "I heard - you don't raise an army when you are angry.
Hong Chengchou beat his chest vigorously and said: "There is always a flame here. If it is not released, I will have trouble sleeping and eating." "
"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 governor of Ji Liao?" How can I bring the last elites of Liaodong under my command?
Of course, if you support me with a batch of artillery, grenades, cannons, gunpowder and the like through the King of Qin, I will still accept it. "
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "If you are accidentally captured alive by the Jiannu, don't be too busy surrendering, I will send someone to rescue you. "
Hong Chengchou took a long breath and said: "You don't think so highly of me? Even my moral integrity has been diminished. "
Yun Zhao continued: "I will give you whatever you want, whether it is through King Qin, King Fu, or even through Jin Yiwei. In short, there is no hidden danger in what you get. If you fight If you win, I will go out of the city hundreds of miles to meet you. If you lose, I will also go out of the city hundreds of miles to pick you up. Even if you are captured alive, I will have a way to rescue you. But, don’t surrender.drop.
Do you still remember what we said when we first met?
Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "Remember, you will kill me." "
Yun Zhaodao: "Now it's not just a matter of killing you, I will make your death extremely humiliating. "
Yun Zhao's face was solemn as never before, which put great pressure on Hong Chengchou. He gritted his teeth and said: "Why do you have to bite me to death before I surrender and become a slave? "
Yun Zhao said coldly: "In my dream, you have already surrendered once. "
Hong Chengchou looked pale, but laughed loudly and said: "I won't let you get what you want! ”
After that, he drank up the wine in the jug and walked away.
Seeing that Hong Chengchou was gone, Xu Wu thought about it and leaned his head over and whispered: "Your Majesty, he doesn't seem like a person who would surrender.
Yun Zhao rolled his eyes at Xu Wuxiang and said, "It would be better for us to be more careful with these Ming officials. I really can't find a few among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who are willing to do this." People who died in the dynasty. "
"Tell me, why did Hong Chengchou suddenly want to take the official position of Governor of Jiliao, which he had avoided? ”
“It wasn’t Lu Xiangsheng who was the one who confused me. This guy has been with Hong Chengchou these days. He must have told Hong Chengchou that he was the most suitable one. In addition, Hong Chengchou was also a little arrogant, so he just agreed.” .
Lao Lu is good at everything, but he can’t let go of his Ming Dynasty. When he sees the world in chaos in the future, I don’t know how painful it will be. Alas... This damn world will not let people go. Live well. "
Xu Wuxiang chuckled and said: "This is none of our business, but Han Lingshan has been found. He is now near Liaoyang. "
Yun Zhao sighed: "Is it safe? "
Xu Wu thought: "We can't talk about safety, but there are many Jianzhou people following him. "
"Order Wen Yushan to follow up. "
Xu Wu thought: "Wen Yushan has returned to Shanhaiguan and has no chance to enter Liaodong again. Han Lingshan's life and death can only be controlled by himself. However, I am full of confidence in Boss Han. He will definitely achieve great things. "
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "How difficult that must be. ”
After that, I looked at the location of Liaoyang on the map, and couldn’t help but worry about Han Lingshan again.
At this time, Liaoyang was already in the season of snowflakes, but , in the deep forest, the steam is steaming in the wooden houses, an iron pot is hung on the fire, the meat inside is tumbling, the smell of meat is mixed with the smell of wine, powder, sweat, and smell of smelly feet. Almost suffocating, but they still couldn't suppress the people in the wooden house from drinking and reveling.
Han Lingshan took his hand out of the North Korean woman's arms, raised his glass and shouted at everyone: "Fuck it." ! ”
Suddenly, strange screams could be heard one after another in the huge wooden house.
After drinking three bowls of wine in a row, Han Lingshan stood up from the crowd drunkenly, staggeringHe staggered towards the outside of the house.
After relieving himself happily on the white snow, Han Lingshan shivered, fastened his pants, grabbed a handful of snow from a wooden rafter and put it into his mouth, letting him slow down. Melt slowly.
Old Agu turned around from behind the wooden house, wiped the hoarfrost on his beard and whispered: "Su Hetai, when are we leaving?"
Han Lingshan whispered: "We're leaving today."
"Just a hundred or ten of us are leaving?"
Han Lingshan nodded and said: "It's not a good thing for us to have more people. You've seen it too, we I kindly shared the loot with them, and while they were enjoying it, they sent someone to inform them that they could no longer stay here."
"The informant has been killed by Machuko and the others."
"It's useless, old Agu. If there is one, there will be two. Except for the brothers who participated in this robbery, we can't trust anyone. We killed Ke Cha. God knows if someone else has already informed.
Now, we can only go back to the old forest to avoid the limelight.
We will set off after all these people are drunk. I am worried that the pursuers are already on their way. "
Old Agu’s snow-white beard trembled and he made a motion of wiping his neck with his hand.
Han Lingshan hesitated and said: "They are all our tribesmen..."
Old Agu said: "Since we were deprived of all glory, the people here no longer We are members of a clan, and everyone wants to crawl out of this quagmire, even stepping on other people's corpses. During this period of time, I personally watched the clansmen scheming, scheming, and killing each other. One by one, one kills the other, Su Hetai, until you appeared, I felt that our clan finally had hope.
Su Hetai, when Nurhachi could raise an army with thirteen pairs of armor, we can too, even if we can't. , as long as we become stronger, Huang Taiji will forgive our sins and reuse us.
Su Hetai, these people are no longer useful. Without the determination to become Batulu, I gathered a hundred. Thirty people who want to regain glory can catch the savages in the old forest and join us as long as we return to the old forest. I know that there is a savage tribe near our old forest.
Su Hetai, do it!"
Han Lingshan turned around and found Ma Chuke, Bi Erdai, Bayan, Bai Chuke, Alin'a, Baili, Brukan, Qi Bushen, Dahasu, Da Shan, Duolong and other Jianzhou people who were the first to agree to rob Baichengzi all breathed white air and looked at him with bright eyes. It was obvious that they had made up their minds to escape from their current humble life.
"Su Hetai, do it!"
"Su Hetai, do it!"
"Do it!"
Han Lingshan He took a long breath, took out his short knife and made a cut on his hand, letting the blood flow slowly on the snow. He knelt on one knee, looked at the gray sky and said: "Su Hetai, the descendant of Gray Wolf and White Deer, hereby swears an oath." ,I will definitely treat all my brothers well, and I will definitely take back the glory we once lost. I will definitely charge at the front, and I will be the last one to retreat. I will never abandon a brother, nor give up a brother..."
When he swore an oath at Hanling Mountain, the old Agu laughed loudly and cut his cheek with a dagger without hesitation along with the rest of the Jianzhou people. He raised his hands and swore allegiance to Su Hetai, believing in him and following him until the end of his life. No regrets at all.
Han Lingshan put his broken hands on the broken faces of every Jianzhou man one by one, letting the blood blend, and hugged each brother affectionately.
p>The last one embraced the old Agu and said to everyone: "After I die, Agu will be our king.
Old Agu laughed, turned around and hugged the archer Ma Chuke and said: "After I die, Ma Chuke will be the king!" "
After the oath of allegiance was over, Han Lingshan looked at the steaming wooden houses with cold eyes and said: "Let's get started!
Old Agu chuckled and said, "I have killed my woman, it's up to you." "
Ma Chuke said with a ferocious smile: "Everyone except us will die! ”
