Chapter 618 [Su Qin's Birth III]
The biggest surprise that Childe brought back by the way was not actually potatoes, corn and guano, but a seasoning called 'chili', this kind of thing plus spices from Persia, it turned out that it could bake a delicious taste called 'meat skewers', if you put it in the fat sheep stew, it is a more delicious roast mutton, red and bright to the appetite, when you first eat it will be so spicy that people stick out your tongue, but once you get used to this taste, you can no longer do without it.
And if you eat too much of this thing, you need to drink a lot of wine, although the alcohol content of this era is low, but you can't stand a lot of drinking, it didn't take long for Ji Bian and the ministers to get drunk, and Bai Dong's eyes changed, and I felt that the more I looked at this person, the closer I became, and I loved to listen to him.
Gongzishun tells about all kinds of novel scenery on the sea road, terrifying and curious sea beasts, pearls with big bowls on the bottom of the sea and strange things on the island, and Bai Dong tells about the world charts. This is a specially printed world chart of the Baijia Seal Society, from Asia to Central Asia, West Asia, Europe, and even Africa and the Americas that are still being explored, from the Strait of Malacca to the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, the Cape of Good Hope, the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Mediterranean Sea in the most vivid way in front of Ji Bian and all the princes, not to mention these standard landlubbers, even the seafaring masters of Gongzi Shun and Aristotle, who was sitting in the seat of the Zhuzi Sect and was debating with Yang Zhu, all looked at it with straight eyes.
Even they had never seen such a complete world chart, and as soon as Bai Dong's map was unfolded, how the sea routes of the whole world were interconnected, how important the Cape of Good Hope and the Strait of Gibraltar were, and how high the status of the Mediterranean Sea was, it was immediately displayed in front of everyone, and there was no need to talk too much nonsense.
Listen to what Bai Dong has to say. Only then did the princes of various countries truly understand how difficult it was to lead to the new continent that Bai Dong said was 'bigger than China, full of all kinds of resources and grass and mud horses'. That winter turnip-like continent is too barren. The blacks running around the land did not establish any civilization at all, and even the governor of Persia had only established a seaport in the north, so it was unrealistic to bypass this continent and go to the New World, because there was no way to replenish it!
The only viable route was to reach the Persian Gulf and then cross the Persian mainland, where the Qin state-established seaports entered the Mediterranean, where they could make a final replenishment near the Strait of Gibraltar, and then a large fleet of supply ships could cross the ocean to reach the New World.
If these princes of China see the game of Earth OL. It will definitely be the most enthusiastic and top player, but how difficult is it to expand the territory of China and cultivate a strong country? Since the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of countries have been destroyed, and which one of them can be preserved now is not a strong country? Not to mention Qin, Chu, Qi and Wei, even Lu Song is a big country with tens of thousands of armor, and it is difficult to destroy any country! What's more, now that the Qin State has been named the overlord and is acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, who would dare to start a war lightly? It's still a new continent, there are infinite possibilities, and the powerful country is certainly interested, and even the monarch of the Lu and Song kingdoms secretly clenched their fists. They see the hope of the country's rise, and this game in China has been lost. What about in the New World? Do you know who killed the deer?
Following the route indicated by Bai Dong, how do the princes of various countries who are full of the interests of the New World now look at the European countries as thorns in their eyes, the seemingly loose but surprisingly explosive Greeks, the fierce Roman army that is undergoing the transition from the era of republics to the age of empires, and the barbaric Gauls, these guys are like nails on the European continent, if these guys are not put on the table, God knows what kind of setbacks the Great Voyage of China will experience?
Bai Zi is right, the biggest threat at this stage is not his own people, but these Western countries! The New World is beckoning to us, but if we want to get to the New World safely, we must first deal with these Western threats! Look at Baizi, a big pirate operation was arranged a few years ago, Pang Juan, the former god of war of the Wei State, made the Western economy jump, and now it is much easier to do it to the West. What kind of realm is this, this is the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoy the shade, when we stay in the gorgeous palace to drink and have fun, it is the people who plan to move, and it is the people Pang Juan who is willing to bear the name of pirates, which is too moving
Now some princes look at Yan Wenhou with deep contempt in their eyes, when is this? Are you still setting fire to the rear? Where are you putting Huaxia's interests? Where have you put the interests of our princes? If it weren't for Baizi to explain the stakes, Huaxia would be mistaken because of you! Even the most well-cultivated Lu Kanggong Ji Tun couldn't bear it, and spat fiercely in the direction where Yan Wenhou was sitting, and in anger, he didn't even want the most basic etiquette.
Ji Yan opened his mouth for a while, and couldn't help but quietly glance at the young man sitting beside him, this is a young man who is as gentle as jade, his face is extremely handsome, but there is a very obvious vertical line between his eyebrows, and his eyebrows are as deep as a river, even if his eyebrows are stretched, he can be seen at a glance, people with this kind of face are actually very contradictory, and they will make people feel like a spring breeze.
Ji Yan was looking at Su Qin, but Su Qin had been looking at his 'Senior Brother Bai', who was also from Guigumen, and his ears had been filled with the name of Senior Brother Bai over the years, compared to Senior Brother Pang and Senior Brother Sun, he was also a little excited to see this legendary senior brother up close this time.
He glanced at Yan Wenhou, who was anxious, dusted off his robe with a smile, stood up gently, first bowed deeply to Ji Bian, and then saluted Bai Dong, and said loudly: "Su Qin, a subordinate of the Guigu Sect, has seen Zhou Tianzi, the princes of various countries, and Senior Brother Bai."
Under the door of the Ghost Valley?
The princes of all the nations were stunned and turned their eyes to this young man. Everyone under the Guigu Gate is a great talent? Pang Juan and Sun Bin don't say anything, Qin Guobaizi is a sensational figure in the world, why is there another one now? It's just that this person named Su Qin is too young, it seems that he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has not yet reached the crown, how could that mysterious Mr. Guigu be willing to release him from Guigu?
Bai Dong was also a little surprised, he had naturally heard of Su Qin's reputation, if according to historical records, this person arrived first after leaving the Ghost Valley was the Qin State, but at this time Yingqu Liang was deceased, he went to lobby Ying Si, but Xiao Ying Si didn't pay attention to him at all, so he went to Yan State to see Yan Wenhou and put forward the proposal to join the Zhao State, but this year should be around 334 BC, which is fifteen years earlier than now.
However, seeing that Su Qin is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, it is obvious that he has been out of the mountain for more than ten years, is his cheap teacher crazy? actually want this 'little junior brother' to go out of the mountain early to sing the wrong tune for himself? Yan Wenhou is only the king of Shoucheng, if there is no push from Su Qin's back, forgive him for not being able to say those insightful words.
"Oh? Are you Su Qin? I've been writing to my teacher, but I've heard your name. Why didn't you go to Yan Country to study in Qingxi? ”
Bai Dong smiled slightly, he couldn't guess what Guiguzi had in mind, but since this cheap master arranged it like this, there must be a reason, no matter what this little junior brother wants to do, he still has to correct his name as a senior brother. He never doubted Su Qin's identity, if he wasn't a great talent under the Guigu Gate, he would not dare to pretend to be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child.
In this era, age has never been a problem, and in later generations, there was a man named Ganluo, who was not named Shangqing by Yingzheng at the age of twelve? This little Su Qin seems to have this ambition too.
Su Qin glanced at Bai Dong with a smile, and said with deep respect: "The teacher said, Senior Brother Bai is a great genius, if I don't go out of the mountain again, I'm afraid that the limelight will be robbed by Senior Brother." The younger brother felt that he was reasonable, so he put down half of his homework and hurriedly left the ghost valley. I originally wanted to go to the Qin State, but the Qin State has Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Sun, where will I still be needed? I had the intention to go to Wei, Han and Zhao Qi, but found that they were either afraid of the might of the Qin State, or they were close to the Qin State, so the younger brother had to go to the Yan State. Today, I know that the senior brother will have a high theory, and most of them will threaten the princes again, but the younger brother really can't wait, so he wants to jump out against the senior brother. Please don't blame you, brother."
Bai Dong smiled unconsciously: "It's not strange, it's not weird, my Guigu Sect loves each other~ attacking each other, that's a long-standing tradition, how can senior brother be willing to blame you?" (To be continued.) )
PS: Author
Ps: Regarding Su Qin and Zhang Yi, some historians say that Zhang Yi is in front of Su Qin and Su Qin is behind, and some historians say that the two are basically the same period, but Su Qin first saw Yan Wenhou in 334 BC, and it is difficult to verify how old Su Qin was at that time, combined with the time of his death, it is reasonable to infer that it is about thirty. In this book, Su Qin was born fifteen years ahead of schedule, which is actually the words of a novelist, just laugh at it.
The history of 2,000 years ago, who can verify it clearly (this paragraph does not count in the word count)
