July is not to say that the weather in July is as hot as a downward fire in the sky, but that in July, the great Mars has begun to move westward, which means that the weather is about to get cooler.

But before July, a large Mars began to run westward.

It's just that this big Mars is not the Scorpio Alpha in the sky, but the Corning on the ground.

In the life that Li Duo planned for him, the code name he was about to get in the Black Coat Society was Antares.

Antares is what is commonly known as the Great Fire, which is the so-called Scorpio Alpha in later generations.

"That's it." Kang Ning suddenly stopped, pointed to the small hill in front of him, and said, "The boundary of Shandong, the places suitable for ambushes are basically in the mountainous areas of central and southern Shandong. ”

So they climbed up the hill and waited for the fish to take the bait.

At first, their heartstrings were tense, after all, this was the first time that the reincarnated people had acted in the late Ming Dynasty.

But Corning's mood was light.

The heavenly Antares has no intention of moving its nest. In fact, even in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, he has no obvious intention of moving his nest. Because of the Book of Songs. National style. Due to the calendar, "July fire, September clothes" in "Wind of the Wind" should actually correspond to the eighth and tenth months of the lunar calendar, that is, September and November of the Gregorian calendar.

Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched the "Taichu Calendar", the correspondence between the ancient six calendars and the modern lunar calendar made many beginners blew up.

Kang Ning still remembers that Xia Li Jianyin, Yin Li Jianchou, and Zhou Li Jianzi are called the three positives. Although the lunar calendar in later generations, like the summer calendar, starts the new year in the month with the character "Yin" in the Ganzhi chronology, according to the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics. MAO Shi. Lesser. April", April is summer, June is summer, that is, summer arrives in April, and it is hot in June. In the later generations, they were still enjoying the torture of the autumn tigers, and it can be inferred that the contemporary lunar calendar and the ancient summer calendar have a serious "time difference".

As for whether this situation is caused by climate change or whether it is a deviation in the human record. Corning doesn't know.

Corning once had an immature speculation that the writings on the Book of Songs had been tampered with, and the time had been changed to the same Lu calendar as the "Spring and Autumn Period", and the Lu calendar was a variant of the Yin Shang calendar, and even Kangning believed. Confucius used the Yin Shang calendar to record the Spring and Autumn Period. After all, the Confucius family was originally from the Song Dynasty, and the Song people were descendants of Yin Shang.

In this way, there is a good explanation for the time difference that can only be observed in the eighth lunar month of the seventh lunar month.

It's a pity that he is not a historian himself, and he knows very little about it.

Of course, there is also a possibility that when Xia Shang Zhou was busy rebuilding a certain month and celebrating the New Year in advance to distinguish it from the previous dynasty, which bastard changed the Ganzhi chronology, for example. Change the ugly moon to the yin month, so that the numbers are one number larger, and the July Flowing Fire can only be seen in August.

If this phenomenon occurs, the Qin Dynasty's "Zhuan Calendar" is the most suspicious object. Why? This guy is so weird.

On October 1st, the National Day of the Gregorian calendar in our later generations, the Qin Dynasty people of his country celebrated the New Year on that day. Forget about the New Year, he doesn't call this month the first month, the Zhou Dynasty regards November as the first month, and people don't call it November, just call it the first month. He, the Qin Dynasty, no. According to the summer calendar, the first month is the first month, but the first day of the first month is not the new year.

If you travel to the Qin Dynasty, you will be dizzy just by counting the days.

The Qin Dynasty was a dynasty that paid more attention to change, so the possibility of leaks in him was also the greatest.

Of course, they cannot be "convicted" without evidence.

Actually, there is another possibility. That's the error.

Even if the lunar calendar does not only look at the moon like the Islamic calendar and never takes care of the sun's orbital cycle, it is a lunisolar calendar after all, although it has another name for the lunar calendar, but this does not affect the nature of the lunisolar calendar. Then it cannot but take care of the sun's orbital cycle in the arrangement of the months, and the solution adopted is the leap month that we are very familiar with.

Leap months are useful for correcting the gap between the lunar calendar and the sun's orbital cycle. It's actually very imprecise. Looking at how the Gregorian calendar is played, there is one more day in February every four years, although the name calls it a leap year, but it cannot be denied that it is essentially just a leap day.

Even we saw leap seconds some time ago.

If you look at this precise adjustment, and think about the rough intercalary month adjustment, you will know that there must have been some error over the years, which caused the lunar calendar to have problems in expressing the position of the sun's revolution, so that the July Stream Fire could not be seen until August.

Kangning knew that this kind of error was inevitable, and in fact it was the reason why the calendar was revised many times in history, especially during the Northern Song Dynasty. However, he also has no direct evidence whether this phenomenon is caused by error.

After all, it's a hobbyist at best.

In fact, there is another possible reason, and that is precession.

In Corning's understanding, precession refers to a change in the relative position of a celestial body and the Earth as it moves, resulting in a change in the projected position of the celestial body on Earth.

It's a long process, like thousands of years from now, when the constellation Scorpori will contribute to an Anpole star. The shape of the Big Dipper has been slowly changing.

But this kind of speculation, then there is even less evidence.

Corning lay on the grass, his mind full of things he didn't need right now. It's not that he's cranky because he's nervous, but because he's done everything he can, and whether he can succeed or not depends on God's will.

The so-called planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, and if you think about it, your luck should not be bad enough to be the same as Zhuge Liang.

Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang's strategy seems to be much worse than that in the romance. He also blamed himself for not having time to explain everything to him, and maybe he would take a shorter time to get this matter done.

"Childe, someone is coming."

At this time, Yang Dayan reminded in a low voice beside him.

Corning half-turned, squinted his eyes for a moment, and then continued to lie back.

"Be honest with me, don't move around." Kang Ning instructed them in a low voice, "Hu Luguang is still walking with those people, don't be in a hurry to do it first, they will come back later." ”

Liu Bang, who was on the side, picked his feet and asked softly, "Childe, which water committee do you say?" Will you see the flaws? ”

"I'm not so worried that they will see the flaws, but I'm more worried that they will prepare another weapon in order to cope with the interrogation on the road, if that's the case." Then I'm out of luck. ”

"No, it won't. Didn't Hu Luguang already put away all their weapons? I didn't notice that they had weapons on them when they passed by just now. ”

"Who knows if they're going to have a grenade or something on them. Now I can only hope that in Hu Luguang's mind, I still remember the memories that were injected into my mind when I was reincarnated. ”

"I don't think I'll forget it." Chen Baxian suddenly interjected, "Anyway, I won't forget it." If only I could get those hot weapons sooner. ”

"You won't use it." Liu Bang joked on the side, "If I had asked for that gun or cannon back then." Don't worry about Xiang Yu and the like. What can the overlord of Western Chu do to kill him directly with one shot. ”

Everyone burst out laughing. Corning continued to lie on the ground, his mind filled with all sorts of weird thoughts and speculations to pass the time of boredom.

Quietly, the road lost its sound, and after a long time, just when everyone was a little confused, a rush of running came over.

The voice was so restless in the quiet of the night that Corning woke up from his fugue without being reminded.

"It seems that they have learned of the attack of the Mongol rebels to the north. Now they should be busy running back to the weapons. It's just that the goods they transport, if they run at this speed, they may lose a lot. ”

Liu Bang on the side said: "Childe, don't worry that they still have a weapon hidden, at least they don't have it on them." You see that they are panicking, and as soon as the news of the anti-thieves reaches their ears, they desperately want to run back to the weapons regardless of the safety of the goods. ”

Kang Ning glanced at Liu Bang approvingly and said, "Your analysis is right, I really haven't noticed this detail." After a while, he added: "Actually, it's because they rely too much on firearms." Being far away makes them feel insecure. Even if they still have white blades on their bodies, there are not many of them who can show the courage to fight. ”

"Wouldn't that be a good opportunity for us?" Liu Bang said eagerly. "It seems that God is on our side today."

"yes." Kangning silently recited the sentence: It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. God wants to help me succeed now, and I'm afraid it's unlikely that I will fail. Hehe.

After the emotion. His gaze suddenly turned cold.

"All ready, now it's time to work hard."

Everyone behind him was ready, and soon, the water committee and his party had already entered the encirclement.

Kang Ning sneered, the Water Committee never imagined that he would encounter an ambush by his future comrade Mars here.

Today. Corning, the big Mars, is going to boil this basin of water.

Alpha of the wave seat, I'm sorry for you.

Kangning covered his face with a black cloth, then raised his right hand and said coldly: "The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when you kill people and set fires." Brothers, this is a godsend, don't miss it, rush! ”

Liu Bang had already felt that Kang Ning's opening remarks were too long, and he yelled "It depends on the present day whether you get rich or not", where do you need so many foaming stars. So before he could finish speaking, he had already rushed out with a roar.

When he was hurrying away, he suddenly heard hysterical shouts of killing coming out from the low hill beside him. He looked up in surprise, but saw that on this terrain, which was very unfavorable for ambush, fifty or sixty men in black rushed down at once.

Among these fifty or sixty people, there are Kangning's henchmen, Shang Xin and other important figures in Kangning's plan, and Liu Xiazu and others who are about to carve out a world outside and do dirty work for Kangning in the future. There are also members of former hostile forces such as Zhou Yin, Wang Fu, and Red Lotus, who were reincarnated as Kangning's most loyal subordinates after being killed.

The Water Committee roared: "Meet the enemy!" ”

However, his reaction seemed to be half a beat slower, and the men had already rushed in front of him, quickly fighting with the guards behind him.

Since the weapons of the guards had been confiscated by Hu Luguang and others, they were released in a large number in a short period of time.

And Corning's side has already prepared a big gift for the Water Committee.

Perhaps some people have forgotten that at the moment when he became a brocade guard, he once took over a wooden box. There is not only his undercover plan in it, but also a mysterious object that Qin Ming brought from the afterlife. A pistol.

Forty meters away, even at night, Corning didn't think he would miss the target.

"Water Committee One, your little life, I laugh at it."

Bang! (To be continued.) )
