Chapter 59 The Inexplicable King
"You are raising a group of wolves."
"It's better than raising a flock of sheep."
"There are too many wolves, so there is not 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 covered. We have thought so for many years, and we have designated the land under our feet as the center of the earth, so it is called China!
In fact, a very early time, an ancient Greek named Pythagoras concluded that the earth was round and that there was a big ball under our feet, but there was no sufficient evidence.
Until one hundred and twenty years ago, the Portuguese Magellan led a fleet from Spain and sailed westward. After three years, he returned to Spain.
This is the first time humans sail around the world, and it also proves that the earth is round and the size of the earth.
He used two different locations to measure the angle of sunlight hitting the ground within the same time, and found that the circumference of the earth was 250,000 Stageia (unit of length in ancient Egypt), which was equivalent to 79,000 miles.
After he made this proof, people still did not believe that the earth was a ball, especially a big ball that was suspended in the air and kept rotating. Many people regarded this perception as a big joke, believing that there was no problem when we stood above the big ball. When the big ball turned and we reached the bottom of the big ball, wouldn’t we fall into nothingness?
Others think this is a big joke, but I don’t think so. Since someone has already practiced it, why don’t I believe it?
Just forty years ago, a Westerner named Bruno was burned to death by the Western Inquisition in order to defend this theory. This man was burned to death, but it made me believe more in his theory.
Official, since some people have proved that it is 79,000 miles around the earth, then as a simple math question, we can quickly figure out how big the ball is...
After all, it’s only a mere two thousand miles from Beijing to Xi’an, and this is not a straight line distance.
Since the world is so big... I think it's not a big problem to cultivate more wolves. As long as these wolves are willing to find the grassland for themselves and find flocks of sheep."
Hong Chengchou looked at Yun Zhao in confusion.
Yun Zhao looked at Hong Chengchou with contempt.
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 must admit that it is understandable that the ideas of heaven and mortals are different."
Hong Chengchou said: "You have never looked at the Ming Dynasty, right?"
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "For me, the Ming Dynasty is a fruit that has not yet matured. When it matures, it will automatically fall into my pocket. Now, my pocket has been half woven, and it will be completely woven in a few years. At that time, you can look at the world again..."
"Your appearance reminds me of the Yellow Turban, Green Forest, Red Eyebrow, White Lotus, Maitreya..."
"No, no, no, these are the objects I try my best to eliminate. Believing in these things will only make people become more and more stupid, which is not good for China."
"But you always have something magical!"
"That's great wisdom!"
"I also have great wisdom."
"Your great wisdom is limited to giving up the Ningjin line of defense."
"When Lu Xiangsheng and I were drinking, he said that you often seem to have the ability to know the uncertainty. When I asked again, he was unwilling to say more."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "When you become the magistrate of Qingshui County that day, you will know everything you have to say."
"So, you still have a lot of things to hide from me? I thought we were already an alliance."
"No, after you become the county magistrate of Qingshui County, we are in the same group. Should we immediately give up your high-ranking official and become the county magistrate of Qingshui County?"
Hong Chengchou smiled, then stood up and looked at the persimmons like red lanterns on the persimmon tree and said, "I am not going to escape anymore, I want to take over the hot potato of Governor Ji Liao."
Yun Zhao glanced at Hong Chengchou with his eyes squinted and said, "How come he suddenly made such a decision?"
Hong Chengchou laughed and said, "If I don't take over, will it be possible for villains like Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, and Chen Xinjia to take over? After I get off the position of Governor General of Ji Liao, it will not be too late to go to my Qingshui County to serve as my county magistrate."
Yun Zhao frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "If you don't use your strength to fight Jiannu, how do you know that I am also a talented man in the country!"
Yun Zhao whispered: "I heard that - I'm angry and not going to raise troops."
Hong Chengchou beat his chest vigorously and said, "There is always a flame here that will not be released, and I will not be able to sleep or eat."
"Do you want me to help you?"
Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "If you get the help of your soldiers and soldiers, how can the emperor be willing to give me the position of Governor of Ji Liao? How can he be willing to assign the last elite troops in Liaodong to my command.
Of course, if you support me with the King of Qin and others, I will still accept it with a smile."
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 unfavorable to me? Even my virtues are too weak."
Yun Zhao continued: "I will give you all the things you want, whether through the King of Qin, King of Fu, or even through the Jinyiwei. In short, you will have no hidden dangers when you get it. If you win, I will go out to the city to greet you a hundred miles away. If you are defeated, I will go out to the city to pick you up. Even if you are captured alive, I will have a way to save you. But don't surrender.
Do you remember what we said during the first meeting?”
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 make you feel extremely humiliated."
Yun Zhao's face had never felt solemn before, putting great pressure on Hong Chengchou. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you have to bite me to death and surrender to Jiannu?"
Yun Zhao said coldly: "In my dream, you have surrendered once."
Hong Chengchou looked pale, but laughed loudly and said, "I will definitely not let you get what you want!"
After saying that, he drank the wine from the wine pot in one breath and left.
Seeing Hong Chengchou leaving, Xu Wu thought about it and put his head over and whispered: "County Master, he doesn't look like a surrender."
Yun Zhao thought to Xu Wu and said, "It is better to be more careful about these Ming officials. I really can't find a few people who are willing to bury this dynasty among the civil and military officials in this dynasty."
"You said, why did Hong Chengchou suddenly want to take over the position of Governor Ji Liao, which he would not avoid?"
"It's not that Lu Xiangsheng was bewitched. This guy has been with Hong Chengchou these days. He must have told Hong Chengchou that he is the most suitable one. In addition, Hong Chengchou is also a little arrogant and agreed.
Lao Lu is a man who is good at everything, but he can't let go of his Ming Dynasty. When he sees the world in the future, he still doesn't know how painful it will be. Alas... this damn world won't let people live well."
Xu Wu wanted to laugh and said, "It's not our business, but Hanling Mountain has whereabouts. He is now near Liaoyang."
Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Is it safe?"
Xu Wu thought: "It's not a question of safety, but he has many Jianzhou people following him."
"Finding Wen Yushan will follow up."
Xu Wu thought: "Wenyushan has returned to Shanhaiguan and has no chance to enter Liaodong again. Hanlingshan's life and death can only be controlled by him. However, I am full of confidence in Boss Han, and he will definitely achieve great achievements."
Yun Zhao sighed and said, "How difficult it should be."
After saying that, I looked at the location of Liaoyang on the map, and once again I couldn't help but worry about Hanlingshan.
At this time, Liaoyang was already a season of snowflakes. However, in the deep forest, the wooden houses were steaming in hot air, and the iron pot was hanging on the fire. The meat inside was rolling. The aroma of meat was mixed with the aroma of wine, powder, sweat, and smell of smelly feet. However, these still could not suppress the people in the wooden houses to have a carnival.
Han Lingshan pulled his hand out of the North Korean woman's arms, raised his wine glass and shouted at everyone, "Damn it!"
Suddenly, strange screams came from the huge wooden house.
After drinking three bowls of wine in a row, Han Lingshan stood up from the crowd drunk and staggered towards the outside of the house.
After finishing his hands happily on the snowy snow, Han Lingshan shivered, tied his pants, grabbed a handful of snow from a wooden rafter and put it into his mouth, allowing him to melt slowly.
Old Agu turned from behind the wooden house, wiped a handful of white frost on his beard and whispered: "Su Hetai, when will we leave?"
Han Lingshan whispered: "Let's go today."
"Only we are a hundred people leaving?"
Han Lingshan nodded and said, "It is not a good thing for us to have too many people. You have seen it. We kindly share the things we stolen with them. They enjoy it and send people to inform us. We can't stay here anymore."
"The person who whistled in was killed by Machuko and the others."
"It's useless, Old Agu, one will have two, except for the brothers who participated in the robbery, we can't believe it. If we kill it, we can check it. God knows if anyone has reported it.
Nowadays, we can only go back to Lao Linzi to avoid the limelight.
After all these people are drunk, we will set off. I am worried that the pursuers are on the way."
Old Agu's snow-white beard shook and he used his hands to wipe his neck.
Han Lingshan hesitated and said, "It's all our tribe members..."
Old Agu said: "Since we were deprived of all glory, the people here are no longer members of the tribe. Everyone wants to climb out of this mud, and even climb out on other people's bodies. During this period, I watched the tribes' intrigues, plot against each other, fight against each other, one guards one and one kills the other, Su Hetai. It was not until you appeared that I felt that our tribe finally had hope.
Su Hetai, when Nurhaci was able to raise an army with thirteen pairs of armor, we could, even if we couldn’t, as long as we became stronger, Huang Taiji would forgive our sins and reuse us again.
Su Hetai, these people are useless and have no determination to become Batulu. I gathered 130 people who want to regain glory. As long as we return to Laolinzi, we can catch the savages in Laolinzi and join us. I know that there is a savage tribe near our Laolinzi.
Su Hetai does it!"
Han Lingshan turned around and found that Ma Chuko, Bi Erdai, Bayan, Bai Chuko, Alina, Baili, Brukan, Qi Bushen, Dahassu, Dashan, Duolong and other Jianzhou people who first agreed to rob Baichengzi were breathing white breaths and staring at him with bright eyes. It was obvious that they had made up their minds to get rid of their current humble life.
"Su Hetai, do it!"
"Su Hetai, do it!"
"Do it!"
Han Lingshan took a long breath, pulled out a short knife and cut a hole in his hand, allowing blood to flow slowly on the snow, kneeled on one knee, looking at the gray sky, and said, "Su Hetai, the descendant of the Canglang White Deer, swears here that he will treat all my brothers well and will take back the glory we have lost. I will charge forward and retreat the last one, not abandon a brother, nor give up a brother..."
When Hanlingshan made a swearing, the elderly Agu laughed and, together with the other Jianzhou people, cut his cheek with a dagger without hesitation, raised his hands and swearing allegiance to Su Hetai, believe in him, follow him until the end of his life, without regret.
Han Lingshan placed his broken hands one by one on the broken face of every Jianzhou person, allowing his blood to blend and embraced every brother affectionately.
The last one hugged the elderly Agu and said to everyone: "After I die, Agu will be our king."
Old Agu smiled, turned around and hugged the archer Ma Chuko and said, "After I die, Ma Chuko will be king!"
After the allegiance swearing to the end, Han Lingshan looked at the steaming wooden houses with a cold look and said, "Let's start!"
Old Agu laughed and said, "I have killed my woman, it depends on you."
