Those who occupy the Central Plains win the world.

What Zhong Daochang didn't know was that Hu Xiaoyan was seriously injured and almost died, but it was influenced by the intelligent computer An An, and the reason why Hu Xiaoyan was able to wake up was also because of An An's help.

Smart computers, known as computers, naturally need electricity as an energy source to operate. But An'an, a smart computer, has long had no concept of battery. So where does the power come from? From the ups and downs of the heart, the amplitude of the heart is not very strong for the human body, and the energy used to generate electricity must not be much. Therefore, many functions of the computer cannot be used, and even after leaving the human body, it can only be maintained for a few minutes.

Originally, An An was in a dormant state, and the power required was not much, and the current from the fluctuation of the heart was enough for the computer. But after An An woke up from her slumber, the functions began to work, and the power required was much more than before.

Fortunately, Hu Xiaoyan has practiced the inner boxing technique, and his heart is extremely strong. At the same time, in order to better serve the master when An An was dormant, he released a weak electric current to stimulate Hu Xiaoyan's internal organs, which has achieved the purpose of strengthening and immortalizing in Taoism. The power generated by the powerful internal organs is naturally fed back to the computer.

But after Hu Xiaoyan was wounded by a gunshot, he didn't have time to treat it and made a move against Zongwen, a martial arts master, don't look at only one move, the spirit and energy consumed in it are incalculable. Hu Xiaoyan's body collapsed because of this. Naturally, the computer will fall into a dormant state due to lack of energy. An An, as a computer, frantically stimulates the heart to drive heart fluctuations (the role of a pacemaker) to maintain Hu Xiaoyan's vitality. This is also the reason why Hu Xiaoyan's state seems to be dead, but his heart is still beating slowly and the respiratory system is still running slowly.

But the heart needs energy to beat, and Hu Xiaoyan can only eat some rice porridge during his sleep. According to the principle of conservation of energy, we can know that the little energy of rice porridge is only enough to maintain the minimum consumption of the body, but don't forget that An An's computer also needs electricity when stimulating Hu Xiaoyan's heart. Originally, with Zhang Zijing's golden acupuncture point, even if Hu Xiaoyan could not be cured, he could still save his life, but it was a pity that An An was frantically plundering the energy in Hu Xiaoyan's body, so that Hu Xiaoyan's injuries were aggravated.

Hu Xiaoyan's sanity returned, and the inner and outer demons were knocked down into the dust by Zhong Daochang's blow. The mind also unconsciously begins to control the body's internal organs and the flow of qi and blood. After An An noticed that Hu Xiaoyan's body was normal, he no longer pumped energy to supply energy to the heart pacing. Hu Xiaoyan's body began to slowly return to normal.

If Hu Xiaoyan were to look in the mirror or weigh himself now, he would find that his body had lost weight to the point of a reed stick, and he had lost at least twenty kilograms.

After asking An An about everything that happened in his body, Hu Xiaoyan smiled bitterly. The so-called success is also Xiao He defeat, Xiao He.

While Qin Yun was washing, he also cooked porridge again. After cooking, feed it one bite at a time.

Hu Xiaoyan ate rice porridge and slept another night. The next day I was able to speak again.

The first thing he said was to ask where it was. He is no longer the lonely man he was two years ago, and now countless people are eating with him.

The second sentence is to ask how many days it is.

After figuring out the situation, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Originally, he protected Qin Yun, a little girl. But if it weren't for the little girl, I'm afraid I would have been eaten by wild dogs and turned into feces.

Zhong Daochang still looks like he is ignoring it, and all day long he either sleeps or cleans the leaves, or goes to work in the vegetable garden.

And Zhang Zijing also came back the next day. He is not a stupid girl like Qin Yun.

Zhang Zijing knows a lot about Zhong Daochang's ability, since Zhong Daochang said that there is no problem. That's absolutely no problem. So I went to Shanghai that day. Haven't come back until now.

"Listen to Yan Zhuzhu's girl, the situation in various places is very clear, there is no special trouble, please rest assured." Zhang Zijing chattered briefly about what happened during Hu Xiaoyan's coma, and then withdrew.

Zhang Zijing was followed by Angel and Xia Lingling. There were also Zheng Jun and Cai Yuanpei outside the door, and they were very smart to stay outside the door.

With so many people coming together, it naturally alarmed Nie Shicheng. Nie Shicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that he had found Hu Xiaoyan, and Hu Xiaoyan was also sober. He and Gangyi really dug three feet into the ground in order to find Hu Xiaoyan during this time, and they killed more than 300 sergeants who violated discipline.

After Nie Shicheng came that day, he helped build a few thatched houses nearby, and then went back to the barracks to report to His Majesty the Emperor.

After three days of recuperation, Hu Xiaoyan can already come out in a wheelchair to bask in the sun. These few days can be said to be the calmest years in Hu Xiaoyan's life, which is enough for him to remember for a lifetime. But the things of the world do not stop developing because of his comfort.

Two days later, Emperor Xuanwu's envoy came to Xiaodaoguan to summon Hu Xiaoyan to Beijing. Perhaps Emperor Xuanwu didn't believe in the news that Hu Xiaoyan would disappear for no reason and almost die. The little eunuch may also have the task of checking Hu Xiaoyan's physical condition nearby, because there are actually three imperial doctors in the team.

Hu Xiaoyan just recovered a little bit of spirit, and then embarked on the journey to Beijing. first went to Tianjin and met Gangyi and Nie Shicheng. The three of them just held an official banquet and talked, and did not have in-depth exchanges.

Two days later, Hu Xiaoyan arrived in Beijing and settled in Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. and Li Hongzhang became neighbors.

Hu Xiaoyan, who was recovering well, hesitated and hurried, and his spirit was very tired. did not go to see Emperor Xuanwu for the first time. Emperor Xuanwu also seemed to forget the fact that Hu Xiaoyan had already entered Beijing, and just asked the little eunuch to send some supplements on the day of entering Beijing, and then ignored it.

Emperor Xuanwu was not in a hurry, and Hu Xiaoyan was even less anxious. He began to recuperate quietly, staying in the ward all day and kissing me with Angel. As for Xia Lingling, she took Qin Yun to Xia Yan on the day she arrived at the hospital. Qin Yun is very unacceptable but helpless, she is a quiet lady, how can she be the opponent of Yan Lingling, a "violent woman"?

Li Hongzhang didn't seem to know that Hu Xiaoyan lived next door, he either stayed in the ward all day to read a book or play chess with his son, and occasionally ran to the roof to watch the scenery.

Similarly, many officials in the court also seem to have forgotten Hu Xiaoyan, a second-class official. Almost no one came to visit, which also made Hu Xiaoyan live a quiet life.

In June, news of Zheng Jun came. After the defeat of Caijiagou, the Russians retreated to Harbin in a crushing defeat. More than 20,000 Russian troops and various artillery pieces were gathered in the city of Harbin. There is also a Russian military camp outside the city, which is also a solid fortress of concrete buildings, in which more than 20,000 people are stationed, and Harbin is at a beating. As the largest city in Heilongjiang, Harbin has a good defense, and at the same time, grain and grass are piled up. After the Japanese army of 100,000 troops besieged Harbin and the fortress, they could no longer advance an inch. During the day, Hu Xiaoyan's airship came to bomb from time to time, and the Russian army also ran out from time to time to sneak attack. In addition, the Japanese army's battle line was stretched and logistical supply was difficult, and two or three guerrilla units sprang up in various parts of Heilongjiang to attack the supply line. The Japanese army was in a dilemma.

On June 3, Komura Shoutaro came to protest, but he didn't even see Hu Xiaoyan's face, and was blasted out by the doctors at the hospital.

In addition to the Japanese side, the Russian minister Geers also ran over for help. They hoped that Hu Xiaoyan would help send troops to fight the Japanese army. But Hu Xiaoyan couldn't agree. The Russian army is far from reaching its limits. The Russo-Japanese War was also far from meeting Hu Xiaoyan's expectations.

With the Russo-Japanese War at a stalemate, the imperial examination reform in the court gradually came to an end. Under the insistence of Emperor Xuanwu, the reform of the imperial examination was almost a foregone conclusion. And Yan Fu also began to lecture at the Tongwen Museum, and the students who were still in Beijing became Yan Fu's first batch of lame fans.

When the news came, Li Hongzhang was playing chess with Yang Du in the ward.

Yang Du read books in the Li Mansion every day during this time, and occasionally went to the hospital to chat with Li Hongzhang.

Seeing that Li Hongzhang had no intention of playing chess and failed miserably in one game, Yang Du couldn't help but laugh.

"There is no constant situation in the world, so why should Uncle Shi worry about it?"

"It's not for the imperial examination, but for the times!" Li Hongzhang sighed. The change in the imperial examination had long been expected by his old man. He lamented the current situation. The reform of the imperial examination has been completed, so the Xin Chou reform has become a foregone conclusion. In Li Hongzhang's view, it is not important to change the law, what matters is how the officials do it! No matter how the law changes, will Zhang Zhidong stop his Westernization actions? Even if the law is changed, will the officials in various places definitely abide by the rules and regulations of the change?

"The changes in the current situation are all in chess, as long as you control the general trend, why should you worry about the changes in the corners?" Yang Du comforted.

The chess of the Central Plains is different from the chess path of later Japan. The Japanese way of chess is the same as the principle of Japanese kendo, and the emphasis is on killing. Murderous from the beginning of the layout. In the endgame, every inch of land is in contention. But the chess path and the art of war in the Central Plains are similar, and the focus is on the overall situation. As long as the overall situation is grasped, the battle for the corners will become a trivial road.

Li Hongzhang opened his mouth but didn't say anything. His loyalty to the Great Qing Kingdom was unimaginable to all.

"Your Excellency, you are seventy-eight. How many more years can you live? When you supported Hu Shanshi, it wasn't just for this moment. Why bother now? Yang Du indifferently closed the chess.
