Chapter 544: Is It Really Human Inferior to Birds?

Subsequently, Zhang Zhun made a plan to coerce the population of Beizhili, and his initial plan was to use the backbone of the Wenxiang Sect led by Dong Shuyan to spread rumors in Baoding Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Zhending Mansion to encourage the local people to flee south. As long as they enter Shandong, Zhang Zhun can coordinate with Zhu Dadian to receive these refugees to Denglai Second Mansion. I believe that Zhu Dadian will not obstruct this issue.

These three provinces, all on the road to the south of the Tartars, will definitely be ravaged by the Tartar cavalry. In particular, Baoding Province, whose strategic location was very important, was bound to be severely devastated by the Tatar cavalry. Whether the small city of Baoding can keep the local people is really precarious. In real history, even Gaoyang, where the college student Sun Chengzong was located, was attacked by the Tartars and then slaughtered the city. Dong Shuyan brought out the local people and saved them from the war, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

Xu Qingluan said gently: "Yan'er, this is a good thing, you can reluctantly go for it." ”

Since the master spoke, Dong Shuyan had no choice but to agree sullenly.

Xu Qingluan glanced at Zhang Zhun and said gently: "Zhang Zhun, if you have any other thoughts about the Wenxiang Sect, please say it." Qingluan is not talented, but in terms of resisting the Tartars, he is not willing to be left behind. Last time outside Dengzhou City, everyone was scattered by the Tartars, and now that I think about it, I am really ashamed. If there is an opportunity to be ashamed, I believe many people will not let it go. ”

Zhang Zhun was not polite, and directly said his arrangements for the Wenxiang Sect.

The two males can't stand side by side, and of course the Smelling Fragrance Sect can't exist. In the second prefecture of Denglai, only the Huben military regime can exist. However, some of the backbones of the Wenxiang Sect can join the Shengxia Sect after a period of training. Some of the backbones can also join the Tiger Army. After all, no one can deny that there are still many talents in the Smelling Fragrance Sect. Otherwise, under the blow of the government, the Smelling Fragrance Sect would have disappeared long ago.

Since the Smelling Fragrance Sect can be passed down to this day, it shows that it still has a set of skills. The Tiger Ben Army was able to defeat the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and it was completely beyond time and space. It seems that Junda Ling is beyond the imagination of people in this era. If there is no Juntian Order, even if the Wenxiang Sect is suppressed in Laiyang and Qixia, it will be a hundred-legged insect, and it will die without stiffness. They absconded to other places and had a chance to make a comeback. However, in front of a big killer like Juntian Ling, the Wenxiang Sect is finished.

For example, Xu Qingluan himself is a professional talent. Her specialty lies not in the role of Our Lady of the White Lotus, but in her other skill. This skill is also one of the reasons why Zhang Zhun is firmly eyeing her.

Zhang Zhun suddenly said: "Xu Tianshi, I really want to know, can your carrier pigeon fly over Bohai Bay?" ”

Xu Qingluan seemed to be a little surprised, and didn't understand why Zhang Zhun suddenly staggered the topic, and subconsciously said, "Pigeon? ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and nodded quietly: "I heard that Xu Tianshi often uses pigeons to transmit information?" ”

Xu Qingluan nodded lightly and said eloquently: "That's true,"

Zhang Zhun finally showed the fox's tail and said expectantly: "I don't know if Xu Tianshi's pigeon can deliver the news to our Tiger Army?" ”

Dong Shuyan seemed to sense something, glanced at Zhang Zhun, and asked suspiciously: "No wonder you want Master to lead the cultivation by your side, it turns out that you are eyeing the dove of Master." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded unabashedly, gave her a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "You guessed it." ”

Dong Shuyan felt that she was being calculated again, and she suddenly puffed up, wanting to say something, but it was difficult to say. How so? At first, she thought that Zhang Zhun had fallen in love with Xu Qingluan's beauty, and she couldn't help but despise Zhang Zhun. For perverts, she certainly has the right to despise. It turned out that what Zhang Zhun really liked was Xu Qingluan's ability to domesticate pigeons. His master is so beautiful, he is not as good as an animal for Zhang Zhun to pay attention to. People are not as good as pigeons, it is really uncomfortable.

In fact, in Zhang Zhun's mind, Xu Qingluan's beauty is indeed not as attractive as her ability to domesticate pigeons. Xu Qingluan, well, perhaps to be precise, she and the female disciples around her have a very strong skill, that is, domesticating and using carrier pigeons. Usually, the Smell Fragrance Sect uses carrier pigeons to deliver urgent information.

On the portrait of Our Lady of the White Lotus of the Smelling Incense Sect, behind the head of the Virgin, there are two white doves around them. The average person may think that these two white doves are a symbol of good luck and have no practical meaning. Actually, these two white doves are of practical use. Their role is to communicate secretly. The reason why the Smelling Fragrance Sect was able to gather a large number of followers in a short period of time was because of the help of carrier pigeons.

With the gradual expansion of the territory, Zhang Zhun felt that the primitive communication method was becoming more and more troublesome. The topography of the Shandong Peninsula is already undulating, with many mountains and hills, which seriously hinders road construction. Even with a huge amount of money, the roads built are undulating and the speed of passage is not fast. For example, it takes two days to ride a horse from Weihaiwei to Fushan City. If you use carrier pigeons, it may only take half a day.

The average carrier pigeon flies at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour. The speed is fast, and the speed can even exceed 80 kilometers per hour. For long-haul flights, the average speed is about 50 kilometers per hour. This speed is much faster than that of a war horse. What's more, it is not affected by the terrain, and can go over mountains and seas, basically following a straight line to convey information. The terrain of the territory controlled by Zhang Zhun is very complex, with land, sea, and the role of carrier pigeons, which is very obvious.

Using carrier pigeons to transmit information, from Weihaiwei to Fushan City, the straight-line distance is no more than 300 kilometers, and the carrier pigeon can cross in five or six hours. If it is a well-trained and high-quality pigeon, the speed can be increased. In the era when there were no telephones and telegraphs, such a speed of communication was absolutely amazing.

[Author's note: On May 8, 1965, the British East Patron United Company held a pigeon race in East Aglia, and a total of 1,428 pigeons were released.] The first to arrive were the pigeons bred by the Wigin father and son, which flew 2,950 meters per minute, which is equivalent to 177 kilometers per hour. This is by far the fastest flying carrier pigeon in the world. 】

If you use carrier pigeons to transmit information, even if Shenyang transmits the message to Fushan City, it will only take a day. If you use something else...... I'm afraid it's impossible to do without five or six days. One of the most important reasons is that the carrier pigeon can be completely unaffected by the terrain, which is very advantageous for long-distance communication.

Our country is an ancient country with a long history of pigeon breeding. In southern China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were already pigeons with different eyes. During the Qin and Han dynasties, both the court and the people were obsessed with the breeding and management of various pigeons. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, pigeons were used to communicate in Guangzhou and other places in southern China, and Chinese and foreign working people at sea had used pigeons to transmit letters to their families to report their safety.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the wind of raising pigeons was extremely popular, in the area of Hangzhou at that time, to raise pigeons for fun, tie the wind chimes on the pigeon legs, hundreds of flocks flew in groups, look at it like brocade, the wind rings, sonorous like the Pei between the clouds. At that time, not only the folk pigeons, the royal family was no exception, the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, in Lingnan hometown, once raised a flock of pigeons, and used pigeons and family to pass letters. When he arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, Gaozong Zhao Gou was even more obsessed with raising pigeons, and even ignored the government.

During the Ming Dynasty, China's pigeon breeding has a considerable level. Some large businesses also use carrier pigeons to deliver information. There are also quite a few pigeons for private use. Ji Yuqing had used carrier pigeons before. However, as a professional pigeon system, especially the pigeon system covering the whole country, it takes a lot of effort to cultivate, and the average person simply cannot afford it.

The number of pigeons taught by Wenxiang is actually not very large. But, after all, there is a foundation, isn't it? As long as we continue to invest manpower, material and financial resources on the basis of smelling incense, and study and expand the pigeon system, we hope to establish a complete pigeon system. As long as there is a sufficient number of carrier pigeons, even if it covers the whole country, it is not impossible.

Xu Qingluan understood what Zhang Zhun meant, a little apprehensive, and a little hesitant, and said slowly: "I do have some pigeons, but it seems to be ......far away from your request."

Zhang Zhun said briskly: "You will pay people, I will pay for it, I will take the lead, and you will be responsible!" ”

Dong Shuyan couldn't help but say, "My master is going to become a monk." ”

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Can't monks play with birds?" ”

As soon as the words came out, I felt very ambiguous. Monks playing with birds...... What does that mean? However, Xu Qingluan and Dong Shuyan were obviously not as dirty as he imagined, and they didn't understand the ambiguity of Zhang Zhun's words at all, so naturally they wouldn't have any special reactions.

Dong Shuyan frowned and said, "Aren't you instructing my master to do things?" ”

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "The purpose of I want carrier pigeons is to kill Tartars, don't you want to?" ”

Dong Shuyan had no choice but to shut up.

This big hat is covered, and she really can't say anything.

Xu Qingluan thought for a moment and said slowly: "Raising pigeons needs a quiet place......"

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "There are quiet places, I am responsible for helping you find them." As long as you nod your head and agree, you can ask for my bedroom. ”

Suddenly I felt that this sentence was a little ambiguous, alas, look at what this said.

Sure enough, Xu Qingluan reacted this time, his cheeks were slightly blushing, and he lowered his head and said: "It is the duty of people to kill tartars, and I will help you raise pigeons." ”

Zhang Zhun suddenly felt that the day was full of sunshine, and he really wanted to go up and hug Xu Qingluan and kiss her. This big beauty nodded, and the information transmission system of the Tiger Ben Army can be upgraded by at least one grade.

It's just that Xu Qingluan's heart is a little unpleasant. He recommended himself to the pillow before, Zhang Zhun was not moved at all, but was very happy when he heard that he was willing to raise pigeons...... Is it true that people are inferior to birds?
