Chapter 949 - Sharp Downturn (1)

Now Bailiyan is a famous person in the world, and Xianguo's drastic law change activities are becoming more and more effective, coupled with Ji Feng's boasting inside and outside, Ji Tao, the son of heaven, has a strong interest in talking, so he specially arranged a day to talk with Bailiyan about the "experience" of Xianguo's law change.

"Drinking tea and talking" with the Son of Heaven was not part of his planned itinerary, and Bai Liyan did not expect a few words of preaching to make the Son of Heaven change his mind and copy Xianguo, this conversation was full of greed and unreasonableness from the beginning.

Ji Tao, or the monarch of the Liang State, obviously misunderstood the essential purpose of the law change, as well as the relationship between the state and people. It is simply believed that it is the treasury that changes the law, the ruling class that is rich, the form that changes, and the essence that does not change. Basically ignoring the fact that the participation of ordinary people in economic production activities is the essence of changing national strength, this talk ended in nothing.

After the end of the condolences, Bai Liyan spent most of her time talking with her sister, and occasionally wandered around the city with her family, while investigating business opportunities, while waiting for the end of the mourning period for the new monarch to ascend the throne.

Since he returned to the Central Plains in 634, he has never had such leisure to take his family to travel the mountains and rivers, even when he came, he was more in the carriage to draft manuscripts, compile some scientific and technological materials, and be busy. Suddenly idle, but a little uncomfortable.

The negotiation with Ji Feng is still ongoing, and the delivery of the gold and silver mines of the Liang State will still have to wait until next month, during this period, Bai Liyan does not plan to be idle, after the arrival of the missions of various countries, there will inevitably be diplomatic activities, he intends to promote more goods, earn more capital to feed Yongxing to accelerate expansion.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of October, the royal guest condolence mission arrived in Jinye, and after entering the city, the soldiers divided into two routes, all the way to the heavenly palace, and all the way to the Jingshang Mansion under the guidance of the royal guest "leading the party".

The Yuke Hall is located in the border of Xu, Wei and Sun, and the straight line is much closer to Liang than Xian, and it should be able to reach Liang in early September, but due to a series of messes in the past half a year, it has been delayed until the end of October.

Bailiyan was talking to Bailijuan, and the maid of Jingshang Mansion walked into the pavilion to report:

"Old lady Qiyu, there are royal guests outside the house who want to see the Marquis of Yongxing."

When Bai Lijuan heard the news, she looked at Bai Liyan and asked:

"Swallow, I'm looking for you."

"Well, my sister will wait a moment and wait for my brother to go out and have a look."

After speaking, Bai Liyan got up and walked out of the flower pavilion and went to the front yard with the maid.

Su Fangxin and his entourage of royal guests were a little anxious waiting outside, and when they saw Baili Yan coming, Su Fangxin walked two steps forward and came to everyone.

At this time, Bai Liyan was looking at the group of people, and at first glance, he was quite surprised to see Su Fangxin in the column, he quickened his pace and raised his hand to salute:

"Mr. Su, why are you here?"

Su Fangxin returned the salute:

"I was ordered by the main hall to return to the Central Plains to plant medicine, and this time I came to Liang to discuss important matters."

After Su Fangxin served as the commander-in-chief of the Qianyue Mountain Yuke Army, he stayed in Jichi City all the year round to resume production and consolidate the border defense, and it was rare to return to the Central Plains. After smallpox was brought under control, he was recalled to the main church for vaccination.

Bai Liyan had not been informed in advance by the royal guest, so he did not know that Su Fangxin was coming, and now listening to his words, he was a little confused, so he asked:

"Mr. Su, can you make it clear what is the important matter that you want to discuss with the princes?"

Su Fangxin was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked him:

"Has Yongxing Hou forgotten the matter of armpit people?"

Bai Liyan was taken aback when she heard this:

"Why, do you plan to make it public?"

"It's a matter of the safety of the world, and it has to be made public. There is another thing, Yongxing Hou may not know, eighteen years ago, there were living people on the heavenly ship captured by Changsun Guo. ”

"What, there's this, why is there no news so far!" Baili Yanmeng was taken aback.

After the end of the First World War in the South, he ordered the royal guests to collect all the news and technical information about the Heavenly Ship, and he had never heard of any living words, and it was a miracle that eighteen years had passed, and he had covered it so tightly and did not have smallpox.

He was busy and asked:

"How many people are there?"

"A total of two white people, after being captured by the eldest grandson Shuijun, they were taken to Jiangchao County to be detained, during which the guards were not strict, so the two ran away, and the matter was later settled.

Six years after this incident, the war in the south subsided, and I was entrusted by the marquis to search for clues, but I did not find out this news. And the focus was on Haitian County back then, and the big boat was towed to the inland river, so the river tide was ignored. ”

"And now, humanity has been found?"

One of them died in a scuffle nine years ago, and the other has survived to this day, until a few months ago when I sent a large coastal patrol and learned that there was a white leader among the bandits in Jiangchao County, and he was designed to capture him.

Now this person is proficient in Central Plains dialect, and he is of the same race as the white man rescued last year, and he speaks the same language. ”

"In other words, you all know the situation in the north!"

"Exactly, this person has been able to speak the Central Plains, and after confronting us, he is no longer suspicious, and tells the whole story of the situation in the north. It doesn't matter if you don't say that, the situation is imminent.

According to this person's confession, a month and a half after they sailed northwest in the sea area where they were captured, there was a large island, which was accidentally discovered by the armpit people during their voyage, which was the size of a city's territory. After staying for a few days, the armpit people probably thought that there was land in the south, so they sailed south for half a month, during which they drank the fresh water replenished by the island, and the armpit people suddenly fell ill and died, and then they drifted all the way to the north of Huantian County. ”

"So, this island was discovered by chance, not an island they operated."

"That's how it should be. But even so, most of the islands are not far from the axillary sea routes, and they are discovered by chance by yaw in the nearby waters. Now, eighteen years have passed, during which countless ships have traveled, and it is difficult to say that this island has not been discovered. And judging from the white people who were rescued last year, the armpit people must have occupied this island, and used it as an outpost, and it must be a matter of time before they discover the land of the Central Plains.

I want to come to Yongxing Hou should also know the art of Xuanyi, I sent the master to deduce several times, and the armpit people may go south to the Central Plains in five or six years, and it will become a great disaster at that time. ”

Bai Liyan nodded, he knew very well that the results of the Yuke calculation were basically consistent with Zong Botai, although he had some doubts from beginning to end, but it had been confirmed several times in the past ten years, and he couldn't help but believe it.

"Everyone, please come with me."

"It's hard work!" Su Fangxin gave a slight salute and led a few people to follow Bailiyan to the front hall to speak.

The resurgence of the accident made Bailiyan feel pressured, Yuke's analysis is not unreasonable, if it was a large island that was discovered by chance eighteen years ago, it meant that this island was far away from the armpit people's route.

With a compass and telescope, combined with stargazing and geomagnetic guidance, there are no technical barriers to exploring the oceans.

The stargazing method can only be used for rough positioning at night, and the compass has a magnetic declination, if you do not correct the bearing in time, or even do not know the magnetic declination, you can only adjust the course according to the sailing experience, and it is not excluded that the magnetic declination changed the course and accidentally discovered the island.

It is also possible that in the past eighteen years, it has been discovered by other seagoing vessels and then exploited, otherwise it would not be a coincidence that the white man who was rescued last year would not be a coincidence.

Based on this, it is estimated that there should be other large islands north of the island, which serve as transit ports to supply fresh water and food supplies, and the discovery of this island in the past 18 years is a high probability event. Eighteen years have passed, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no operation and construction, and the army is stationed.

After entering the house and sitting down, what Su Fangxin said next was all related to the white continent.

According to the white man who could speak the Central Plains, the armpit man arrived on the white continent from the west side of the sea after a two-month voyage.

The axillary people sailed from east to west on a short sea route, and from west to east on a long sea route, and then sailed west on the east coast of the northeastern continent and landed on the west coast of the northwest continent where the whites were.

In short, combined with the current geographical location of the Central Plains, it is speculated that there should be two main continents in the Northern Hemisphere, located in the northwest and northeast of the Central Plains Continent in the Southern Hemisphere.

The white continent, the Central Plains continent, and the axillary continent are distributed in an obtuse triangle on the planet, the axillary people are in the northeast continent, the whites are in the northwest continent, and the three main continents in the north and south form a large obtuse triangle, and the Changsun country is located at the obtuse angle point.

Theoretically, the acute angles on both sides of the obtuse angle are the farthest away, but unfortunately the planet is round, and the axillary people can land in reverse boats, so the north of the Central Plains is a large ocean and large islands, but it is the safest.

"According to the white man, the Armpit men appeared on the west side of their shores twenty-five years ago, and at first there were only four ships, and then in the next few months there were more than two hundred, and at most more than a thousand, all of them ships of more than 7,000 stones, and ships of 30,000 stones, or even 40,000 stones."

Su Fangxin said quickly, Bai Liyan listened to the hair in his heart, and he hurriedly asked:

"Don't armpit people indiscriminately kill people when they see them?"

"Xu is so ......"

Su Fangxin's expression was gloomy, and Bai Liyan then asked him:

"And then? What about whites. ”

"According to the accounts of the two whites, there was a difference of 18 years in the middle, and in the two years after the armpit people landed, more than 600,000 soldiers and horses were transported by sea, and 12 million whites were killed in four years, and ......"

Bai Liyan was frightened when she heard this, and it was already cold below her neck:

"And what!"

"They don't just eat food, they eat people!"

"What!" Bailiyan was stunned, and hurriedly repeated: "Cannibalism!" ”

Su Fangxin nodded expressionlessly, and said affirmatively:

"Yes, they eat people. Therefore, as Yongxing Hou and his brother said before, the difficulty of logistics and supply through the sea is difficult for the armpit people, they can solve most of the grain and grass baggage as long as they eat people, and the grain and grass in the Central Plains are abundant, which will become a great disaster in the future. Moreover, armpit people are immortal and cannot be killed except for the head. ”

"I already know about it."

Before he finished speaking, Su Fangxin interrupted and said:

"Hou Ye only knows one but doesn't know the other, according to the white man, the axillary man can remove the arrows that fall in the body without equipment, and no matter how many injuries are injured, they can stop the bleeding by themselves within twenty breaths, and heal in half a month or a month, which is very terrifying."

"How is this possible, how can twenty breaths stop the bleeding!"

One breath is equivalent to a process of inhaling and breathing, which is only a few seconds, and twenty breaths is one and a half minutes at most.

The aortic bleeding stopped by itself in a minute and a half, and the stomach and intestines were broken, and it could be healed in one month. The arrow that is broken in the body can also exclude from the body by itself, this is not what a monster is! Not to mention an arrow, even a machine gun can't kill it.

It took 600,000 people to slaughter 12 million people in just four years, which is not enough for the Changsun Kingdom to slaughter for ten years.
