Chapter 10 Suo Ling'er
The words of these two people made the people around laugh, Wang Yongan also laughed, and then said with a straight face: "Nonsense, nonsense, the name of the French emperor is Hapleone, which is translated into Chinese and is called Napoleon, where is to take a broken wheel, it's just nonsense." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He peeked at the little beauty while laughing, and saw that the little beauty was also pursing her lips and smiling, but she still deliberately didn't look at this side. glanced at it occasionally, and when she saw Wang Yongan peeking at her, she suddenly turned her head angrily, but she couldn't help but listen.
Wang Yongan said: "In fact, the name Napoleon is not simple, it means lion in the wild in the French language, so some people in Europe call him the lion king." ”
"Fourth son, you know so much." Li Yao hurriedly patted his ass.
Wang Yongan continued: "It is said that the French Emperor Napoleon once suddenly wanted to inspect his army to see how the food of the soldiers was, but unfortunately, the soldiers had already finished eating. Think about it, those soldiers are done with three meals and five by two, and they go to training early after eating, where is it like the French emperor eats slowly, and a meal has to change sixteen dishes. So the French emperor finished his meal and ran to the barracks with nothing to do. The soldiers have gone to the field to train for long runs, and now only the cooking squad soldiers are working. Napoleon was so excited that he decided to change his itinerary on the fly, and he wanted to check the soldiers' food. So he took a group of prime ministers, civil and military officials, to the cooking canteen, and saw the man brushing the pot. Think about it, the emperor has never seen a pot, he thought that the men were still making soup, so he took the trouble to go over, scooped a spoonful with a spoon, and then tasted it carefully......"
"Huh-" Everyone took a breath of cold air, and their faces showed expressions of crying and laughing, and the little fairy did the same, and listened very carefully.
Wang Yongan whetted everyone's appetite, and then said: "The French emperor smacked his lips, let's chirp, say that this soup is too light, you damn fellows, the soup made for my soldiers is as bad as washing pot water." One of the guys was a little stupid, and immediately said Report to His Majesty the Emperor, what you drink is the water from the pot! ”
Everyone was immediately amused by his story, and even the grandmother and middle-aged man who were eavesdropping on the other side shook their shoulders with laughter, and the little fairy Ling'er was even more happy, but she just forced herself to pretend to ignore him.
"Fourth prince, how can there be such an emperor." Li Yaodao.
"Barbarian land, nothing will happen, let alone the French emperor who doesn't know how to pretend to understand." Wang Yongan waved his hand and smiled, and continued: "I'll tell you another joke about the artillery of the French Empire, this French emperor Napoleon was born in artillery, so he attaches great importance to artillery, France has always been known for its large artillery in Europe. Therefore, there is a lot of artillery in France, but not all artillery can hit accurately.
Once an officer took a soldier to train to shoot artillery, he asked the soldier to aim and shoot, but he didn't expect that the artilleryman was a squint, and he would carry a shell or something on weekdays, and it was his turn to shoot the cannon that day. I saw that after he had been aiming for a long time, he put a little fire, and with a bang, he saw a fire two miles away next to the target. Everyone was surprised, and their hearts said why they were so crooked, so they ran over. As a result, it was a field of bud rice, and a big pit was blown out in the middle, and a person in the pit was blown black, and when he saw the French artillery, he cried and said: You soldiers are too fucking ruthless, I will steal a bud rice, as for bombarding me with cannons? ”
"Hahaha......" Everyone was so happy again that their stomachs hurt with laughter, and the little fairy also covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but her eyes were no longer so hostile.
The people around him laughed, but they didn't expect this young man to have studied abroad for many years and knew so many interesting things.
At this time, the middle-aged man also laughed and said: "How can there be artillery training and artillery, our cannon in the Qing Kingdom can't be fired on weekdays." ”
"France has money." Wang Yongan sighed, "It's just that our Qing Dynasty is poor." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I see, what you said is true, as the saying goes, when a cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold." A cannonball is twelve taels of silver, if you can train with artillery at will, our Great Qing Kingdom will not be able to defeat the British and French forces in the year of Gengzi. ”
Wang Yongan smiled, the Gengzi incident is a pain in the hearts of the whole country, everyone tries not to mention it, this middle-aged man said it very freely, but it makes everyone difficult to say anything.
The middle-aged man said again: "Little brother is returning from studying abroad? ”
"Yes, I finally returned to China after ten years abroad," Wang Yongan said with a wry smile, "It's very ashamed to say it, I haven't learned anything, it's just that the kid has gained some insight and knows a little about foreign countries." ”
"The little brother is humble." The middle-aged man stroked his beard and smiled, "I think the little brother is only twenty years old, but this is the knowledge, and he will definitely be able to achieve great responsibilities in the future, compared to the little brother's family history." ”
Wang Yongan said: "I'm ashamed, I didn't learn the skills of my ancestors, and I didn't learn much about foreign skills." ”
"Our fourth master is the queen of the Yangzhou Wang family, and the ancestor of the criminal department waits Wang Jia'an." Li Yao showed off on the side.
The middle-aged man said solemnly: "It turned out to be the descendant of Wang Shilang, and it is indeed the origin of family learning, and that Wang Shilang is the first year of Dezong." The man immediately introduced himself: "My name is Suo Tudong, I was born with a blue flag, and I am now on a business trip at the Jingshi Translation School. ”
"Hello Professor Suo." Wang Yongan hurriedly said hello, and said in his heart that if you are called Suo Tudong, then your daughter should be called Suo Ling'er, and she is a beautiful name.
Suo Tudong said modestly: "I'm not a professor, I'm just a rough guy who runs errands in the Beijing Normal Translation Academy, you can just call me Lao Suo." Wang Gongzi, listen to your experience, you are very familiar with RB very well. Wang Yongan smiled bitterly, "Although I don't know how to learn, my familiarity with RB is unmatched." ”
"What do you think of RB?" Suo Tudong asked.
"Wolf ambition." Wang Yongan's eyes were bright, this answer made the people around him curious, Wang Yongan sighed, and explained: "RB people are only as tall as a water tank, with lap legs, big heads, and bad tempers, but they still look down on our Great Qing Kingdom, just because we lost to them in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Gengzi War." Everyone in this RB is a, let's put it this way, as long as you can beat them, they will kneel on the ground and call you daddy, and if you can't beat them, they will bully you to death in turn. So, this little RB will always be a small RB with a small heart and eyes, a small size, and will never have the atmosphere of our Heavenly Empire! ”
boasted about it, but it attracted many people on the train to cheer.
Suo Tudong was very interested in his statement, and the two chatted again, Wang Yongan is the kind of person who talks rhetorically on paper, and it happens that he is also very familiar with the history of the 18th and 19th centuries in the West.
