Chapter 569: A Semicircular Harbor

Ang Lee looks more like making up a story, but this story has a real basis, and he encountered such a thing in his previous life, which can be regarded as an artistic processing based on facts.

This story also made Ang Lee understand a lot of truths, for example, what is thick-skinned, what is hypocrisy, what is after success, you can say whatever you want, even if you fart casually, there will be a large group of people scrambling to smell it, and they look flattered.

The rich man doesn't know that his wife is beautiful, but he is just one of them, and the rich man who has a lot of money feels that he is very poor, just an ordinary person, but he eats a little better, the house is a little bigger, a little more, and there are many rich people who regret starting a business and making themselves rich.

These invisible pretensions are the most lethal and the most intriguing, and they are widely present among high-level talents.

Once people have money and status, they will especially like to pretend, such as wearing gold and silver, luxury cars and beauties, etc., but these old-fashioned pretending methods are too lacking in novelty to cause a sensation.

Of course, this kind of invisible pretending is only suitable for people with high status and wealth, if it is an ordinary person who has nothing, pretending to say that he is blind, others will only laugh at him and think that he is a fool.

In many cases, pretending to be forced is a game for people with money and status, only they have a higher pretending capital, and they can attract people's attention more, have greater influence, and the most important thing is that many people believe it, so as to become brain-dead fans, and after there are more brain-dead fans, the fake can become true.

An ordinary person who hangs a dragon king statue and collects apprentices in the village will soon be arrested, because this is a big feudal superstition, and there is a suspicion of bewitching the common people, and it must be severely punished.

But if this ordinary person was born more than 2,000 years ago, did the same thing, and quickly developed millions of fans, then it cannot be superstition, but religion.

Is there a dragon king in the world? No, then is there a God? No, is there a Buddha? Naturally, there is no one, so why is it that only the dragon king is beaten, and God and the Buddha are fine, this is the advantage of the number of fans, after more believers, if it is forcibly attacked, it will cause a very large-scale resistance, and a lot of hostile forces will be formed, some of which outweigh the losses, and choose to compromise, let religion preach the idea of being conducive to their own rule, so as to facilitate the control of the common people, which is the best for the ruler, therefore, the ruler is more willing to put down the butcher's knife and choose to support religion, and superstitions such as small-scale dragon kings, Because the audience is too small, the scale of development has not risen, and the imperial court does not see the need for cooperation, and it is the most economical administrative cost to kill it directly.

Of course, the religions that have been able to exist for a long time have been tempered a thousand times, have been meticulously perfected little by little, and have a huge vein and ideology, and they are indeed not comparable to small-scale superstitions.

In addition to religion, there is also art, and so on.

Ordinary people are shameless when they paint a picture, but a famous person, if he paints such a picture, it is elegant art, which is the most criticized double standard.

The emperor in power went out to inspect the world, saw the beauty of the mountain village, and forcibly snapped it, it was the luck of the whole family of the beauty, and it was the blessing of the emperor to get the emperor's presence, which was the blessing of several lifetimes, even if the emperor patted his ass and left, he no longer paid attention to this beauty, and no one dared to say that the emperor was not, and if ordinary people did this, they would become eunuchs in seconds, and even suffer more cruel lynching.

This world is always unfair, people with status can do whatever they want, do whatever they want, just say a word, it is the truth of the ages, and people without status are nothing, just so cruel.

However, in the era of Datang, Ang Lee belongs to those with status, and he can do whatever he wants, so even if the world is unfair, but for Ang Lee, there is nothing bad about it, if everyone is equal, then how can he enjoy it, enjoy the compliments and service of others.

Ang Lee is a vested interest in social inequality, so Ang Lee will not choose to fight, choosing obedience is undoubtedly the best choice, and he will overthrow all this if he is stupid.

If it is to implement the equality of the next generation or something, wouldn't the current concubine have to take a break, and she can't just play around when she goes out.

Ang Lee was caught in a whirlpool of memories and couldn't extricate himself, and the deceased King Sri Buddha next to him was also caught in thought, he thought that these things that Ang Lee talked about were too interesting, they were all interesting things that he had not heard before.

"Datang is worthy of being the largest country in the world, there are all kinds of people, Xiao Wang has seen it."

King Sri Buddha spoke.

Li An was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "How can I hear a sour smell?" His Royal Highness the King is making fun of me! ”

"Haha! How dare you, how dare Xiao Wang laugh at Datang, just feel it. ”

King Sri Buddha explained with a smile.

Li An also joked, smiled, and said: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about the war!" ”

The thing that Li An talked about about fighting was that he himself led his soldiers and horses, and the combat operations that had just begun, starting from hunting, entered the Tang Border Army step by step, and launched a tragic battle with the Xi people.

At that time, Li An was young and vigorous, and with only a very small number of soldiers and horses, he repeatedly broke the elite army of the Xi tribe and saved the precarious border crisis, thus making the first contribution to himself.

Ang Lee said that he was colorful, and even added some oil and vinegar, exaggerating his military exploits and describing himself as extremely heroic.

"Skis are planks that fly around in the snow. Xiao Wang remembers, Xiao Wang remembers, when Xiao Wang went to Chang'an City that year, he watched the snowboard performance in Daming Palace, it was really wonderful, the speed of traveling with skis was more than ten times faster than running in the snow! No wonder Li Shilang was able to achieve such a brilliant victory. ”

King Sri Buddha interjected.

For a person who lives in the tropics all year round, there is an inexplicable sense of anticipation for the heavy snow in the north, and the last time he went to Chang'an City, King Sri Buddha personally built a big snowman in the Honglu Hall in Chang'an City, which shows how much he loves the heavy snow.

"Yes! It's very cool to use skis in the snow, but it's a pity that Sri Buddha didn't snow all year round, so he couldn't use skis at all, which has to be said to be a big pity. ”

Li An said helplessly.

If it is in the future, you can also use artificial snowmaking methods to build an indoor ski resort in the tropics, as for the cost, it must be very high, and in the era of Datang, forget it! There is no possibility of success at all.

"Yes! It's too hot for us to pass away, unlike you in the Tang Dynasty, there are four seasons of the year, we only have one season of rainy season, and it's impossible to see the snow, let alone skiing, after the heavy snowfall, the land is white and vast, it's really beautiful. ”

King Sri Buddha was in a state of longing.

Heavy snow is beautiful, and when it covers the earth, it gives people a fairytale feeling, and no matter where you live, you will definitely enjoy it.

"There is no snow in Sri Buddha, so you can't ski, but there is enough coastline to surf! Surfing is very similar to skiing, and the speed is not slower than skiing at all. ”

Ang Lee suddenly thought of surfing, although he had never surfed since he came to Datang, but the memory of his previous life was still there, knowing how to make surfboards and some surfing skills.

"Surfing? What do you mean, is it fun? ”

King Sri Buddha asked curiously.

Obviously, he was a little tempted.

Li An nodded and said: "I have just said, it is similar to the situation of skiing, it can be said to be very similar, skiing is a plank under your feet, people are running on the snow, and surfing is also stepping on a plank under your feet and galloping in the sea, it looks similar, but the snow is replaced by the ocean." ”

I have to say that surfing and skiing are really very similar, both are stepping on a plank, but skiing is generally a long plank with one foot, while surfing has only one plank, but the volume and thickness are larger, which can meet the requirements of supporting a person.

"Stepping on a plank under your feet, coming and going in the sea like flying, how is this possible, anyway, Xiao Wang doesn't believe it."

The deceased King Sri Buddha's face was full of disbelief, and he even felt that Ang Lee was lying to him.

Yes, anyone who has never seen surfing doesn't quite believe that a small wooden board can make people fly in the sea, which is incredible.

Knowing that King Sri Buddha did not believe it, Li An opened his mouth to explain: "It is a fact that only a thick wooden plank with the same height as a person can fly in the sea, how can this official deceive His Royal Highness?" After the pirates are exterminated, the official personally asked the carpenter to make a few surfboards, let the Tang soldiers show you, and let you see that the official did not lie to you. ”

"Okay, then it's a deal."

King Sri Buddha looked very happy, paused, and said, "Li Shilang, there are still more than ten miles to go to the pirate's lair, I am really looking forward to it!" ”

After that, he picked up the binoculars and observed the situation in the distance.

"There are still more than ten miles, and we will be there soon, haha! Woe to these pirates! ”

Ang Lee sat down in his rocking chair, and he wanted to take a break for the upcoming battle against the pirates.

"This group of pirates is extremely arrogant and has done a lot of bad things, and when they will attack, the Tang army does not have the slightest pity, they can all be annihilated."

King Sri Buddha also lay down and rested.

Soon, the ship of Sri Buddha, who was in charge of leading the way, was the first to discover the location of the pirate's lair, and immediately stopped its advance and signaled to the rear.

"Li Shilang, there is a pirate lair ahead."

The subordinate received the signal and reported.

Li An hurriedly got up and observed with a telescope for a while, and then said: "The soldiers are divided into three ways to surround the pirate's lair, and we must not let go of a pirate." ”

"Yes, Li Shilang."

The subordinates immediately began to act, five steam gunboats, immediately divided two to two to lay down the encirclement, and the remaining three escorted steam landing ships to the harbor where the pirate's lair was located.

Because of the advanced instrument of the telescope, Ang Lee's troops could discover the pirates' lair one step earlier, and the pirates had already been surrounded by the time they discovered the Tang warship.

However, due to the absolute geographical advantage, the pirates knew that they were surrounded, but they were not nervous at all, and were busy deploying counterattack weapons, as if they were planning to inflict heavy damage on the invading enemy.

"Rolling wood, stone, bows, fireballs, oops, these pirates have prepared quite comprehensive weapons, if you don't have heavy weapons, it's really hard to fight!"

Ang Lee opened his mouth and sighed.

He took a look at the terrain and couldn't help but have a strong interest in the pirate harbor, this harbor is a semicircle that is not too large, no, it should be said that it is more round than the semicircle, in the middle of the semicircle was originally a beach, now it is a simple harbor, there are berths, there are also large and small permanent arrow towers, these permanent arrow towers are made of stones, it is difficult to destroy them with ordinary cold weapons, this is also the main reason for the defeat of Sri Buddha's army, as long as these permanent arrow towers cannot be destroyed, the landing soldiers will suffer continuous casualties, In particular, the large permanent arrow tower, with not only bows and crossbows, but also rolling wood and stones, and fire oil, after pouring down, can cause great casualties to the troops attacking the harbor.

This is not the most ruthless, on both sides of the semicircle, there are towering cliffs, which are impossible to climb by manpower, and on the top of these cliffs, a certain number of defensive weapons are arranged, including trebuchets and bows and arrows, and the two sides attack together, which can inflict a devastating blow on the troops who break into the harbor, so that the foreign enemy cannot approach.

"Li Shilang, Xiao Wang didn't lie! This pirate's lair is dangerous enough! ”

King Sri Buddha put down his binoculars and said with a sigh of relief.

Li An smiled and nodded: "His Royal Highness is right, this seaport is indeed extremely dangerous, if you want to break through, you need to break through two lines of defense, you must first solve the defensive forces on the cliffs on both sides, and then you can enter the harbor, after entering the harbor, you must also destroy the permanent arrow tower in front of the harbor, so that the army can land smoothly, as long as these two steps are completed, the pirates can be captured." ”

"Listening to what Li Shilang meant, it seems that you can take it easily?"

King Sri Buddha said excitedly.

Li An nodded and said: "That's right, these two lines of defense are very tricky, but this is only for you Sri Buddha, and for us Tang sailors, this is nothing at all, as long as the steam gunboat comes out, it can be easily taken." ”

"Oh, then Xiao Wang will wait and see, there is only one harbor on this island, as long as the harbor is captured, none of the pirates will be able to escape."

Sri Buddha passed away and said earnestly.
