Chapter 22 The Gap
The two talked a little more, which involved many aspects, and Hong Shi also learned a lot about the Yong'an Dynasty and other countries, as well as some customs and culture.
Among them, what shocked Hong Shi was that the population of the vast and sparsely populated barbarian country was only more than 500,000, which was still a figure obtained by counting the old, young, sick and disabled, and the population of the Yong'an Dynasty reached more than 30 million.
What makes Hong Shi most puzzled is that he can level the advantage of the barbarian country with just the number of people, but he was defeated and retreated by the small group of people in the barbarian country, which is simply incomprehensible!
There is a saying in history that "gold is not more than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible", and Hong Shi only saw it as a joke at that time, but now he has heard this unreasonable reality in person, and it is all false to say that it is not shocking.
"Obviously, our Yong'an Dynasty is extremely prosperous, with a vast land and an extremely lush population, how can we not be able to defeat such a small barbarian country?" Hong Shi couldn't help but speak, but Chen Wei just sneered and didn't explain.
Hong Shi looked at Chen Wei blankly, unable to understand why the Yongan Dynasty was so weak, and unable to understand Chen Wei's sneer.
Could it be that the Yong'an Dynasty is really just a dynasty that is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and it seems to be prosperous on the outside, but it is actually rotten to the depths?
Hong Shi couldn't accept this reality for a while, obviously the forces behind Guan Tai wanted to get rid of our Cao family, so they arranged countless unimaginable chain after chain of conspiracy and secret schemes, the kind of ambition that was bound to get rid of our Cao family, and even Hong Shi didn't see it and felt the insidious and ruthless.
However, these people can't defeat the weak enemy country that has occupied our dynasty at one time? How does this make me believe?
Outrageous, outrageous.
After hearing the comparison of the number of people in the Yong'an Dynasty with the number of other dynasties, Hong Shi couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, and couldn't accept this reality for a while.
The extremely surprising number in front of him had to make Hong Shi doubt the authenticity of this number, and he couldn't even admit that it was the truth in his heart.
It's all two arms and two legs, all of them are fighting on the battlefield with knives, forks and sticks, and there is no huge destructive power here, at most it is some artillery, is it possible that the people of the barbarian country really have the ability to fight with three heads and six arms, and the Yong'an Dynasty can't stand up?
Just when Hong Shi was deeply suspicious of this "reality", Chen Wei suddenly interrupted Hong Shi's thoughts.
"Hey, are you okay" Chen Wei suddenly patted Hong Shi's shoulder, Hong Shi woke up suddenly, and then he noticed that his brain was congested, his mind was dizzy, his face was red, his breathing fluctuated too much, and his forehead was full of sweat.
"What's wrong," Hong Shi asked blankly.
Seeing Hong Shi like this, Chen Wei sighed slightly, did not look at Hong Shi, held the horse rope with both hands and shouted softly, the horse sped up, and said helplessly:
"Since you can't accept it, why don't you change this situation, since you are unwilling, why do you choose to back down again and again, Cao Ange I hope you are different from others"
"It's different..."Hong Shi muttered softly, and the feeling in his heart at this moment was unprecedentedly strong.
Modern people living in the world of the 21st century, whether it is in the teachings of their parents or in the rendering of the worldview environment, almost everyone has a bloody nature that is unwilling to accept the status quo ideologically and culturally.
It is also under the influence of this worldview that Hong Shi's heart is extremely eager to change the infuriating situation of the Yongan Dynasty.
At this moment, Hong Shi suddenly vaguely understood the reason why the system sent him to this world.
But the most important thing at present is to complete the task in front of you, if you can't even complete the first task, how can you have the courage to set up your ambition, and how can you have the confidence to face the difficulties in the future.
Hong Shi forcibly suppressed the resentment in his mood and caught up with Chen Wei, and then the two of them talked about each other, most of them were Hong Shi asking, and Chen Wei answered.
Through some information, Hong Shi was surprised to find that this world seemed to be a number of ancient countries appearing on a timeline at the same time, although many aspects have changed, but in general it has not changed.
It can even be called a mixed world, which is more complicated.
Among them, the governing ideology of the Yong'an Dynasty is still Confucianism, external Confucianism and internal law, and a thousand-year-long system since ancient times.
In general, Hong Shi doesn't know much, and he doesn't dare to ask Chen Wei too much because of his identity, and when he goes back, he has to understand the world through Qing'er.
However, from the current situation, what reassures Hong Shi is that Chen Wei seems to be really on his side, which is the most relaxing thing he has heard since coming here.
The two walked a long way along the border, and after a while, Hong Shi saw several people scuffling with each other on the grass, many people on both sides were shouting, scolding each other, and there were more people around who wanted to try.
Among them, many soldiers on the Yong'an side were shirtless, constantly comparing to the natives of the barbarian country, with disdain and arrogance on their faces, and they were completely like daring to fight and kill.
The same is true of the natives on the barbarian side, but their figures seem to be significantly different from those of the Yong'an Dynasty, the most notable of which is that the aborigines of the barbarian country have dark and strong skin, and the barbarians still wear animal clothes.
At this time, the natives of the barbarian country were also jumping around with red faces, and a group of people were there pointing at the soldiers of the Yong'an Dynasty, some were holding scimitars, some were barefoot, and they were all hideous and angry and said things that Hong Shi couldn't understand.
Hong Shi looked a little funny, it felt like watching a monkey, I didn't expect to see the language difference here, I thought that this world was all about using one language, but now it seems that this world is more complicated than imagined.
"Can you understand what they say" Hong Shi looked at Chen Wei, although the visual distance was a little far, the voice was noisy and he couldn't hear what he was saying, but Hong Shi meant to know if there was anyone here who was interpreting.
After all, in this world, if there is no "common thing" between the two countries without translation, I really don't know how to communicate.
Chen Wei smiled and replied without thinking:
"I don't think you like to hear what they're saying, but you can guess what they're saying in this place."
Hong Shi nodded and didn't speak, now he can figure it out with his feet, both parties must be scolding each other with their respective cultures, even if they don't understand it, but the momentum is there that everyone can understand.
However, from this sentence, Hong Shi guessed that both countries must have the profession of "general affairs".
And what makes Hong Shi curious is whether Chen Wei can also speak the language of the barbarian country, Chen Wei's ambiguous words just now vaguely made Hong Shi feel that Chen Wei seems to know the language of the barbarian country, but he thinks that he will not, but whether Chen Wei can speak the language of the barbarian country actually doesn't care about his own business, he is just curious.
Judging from the fact that the soldiers of the Yong'an Dynasty and the natives of the barbarian country were fighting inextricably in front of him, the army of the Yong'an Dynasty was not as weak as Hong Shi imagined, but in this case, why could he not defeat the other party in the war with an advantage in numbers, which made Hong Shi puzzled.
However, one thing that is certain from the current situation is that the relationship between the two parties is very unpleasant.
Moreover, Hong Shi noticed that those burly "herdsmen" were actually inseparable from the well-trained soldiers of the Yong'an Dynasty, and it was even difficult to see the struggling appearance, which was obviously abnormal.
However, from this point, it just proves that the natives Chen Wei said are gradually blending into the soldiers of the barbarian country, and even the "sturdy herdsmen" in front of him are all soldiers of the barbarian country.
It is also from this point of view that the barbarian country does have signs of wanting to wage war against the Yong'an Dynasty.
