Chapter 225: A Wonderful Drama

Kinnige explained to Bi Francis that the color is not red, but to say that everything that is not black is red, then the logic does not make sense. ”

Long Huamin took over and said, "The number of elite soldiers like the Ming Kingdom must be very small, so the war is unfavorable", which should be red and black. ”

"That's right. The colors red and black in a particular case are specific assumptions. Kinnige added.

"Oh, I see."

Bi Francis understood.

These small number of elite soldiers stayed by our side in order to make us think that the Ming Kingdom was very strong.

This is one thing, and it is something that several people agree on.

But it's not just these two.

This incident can't be deduced, 'These small number of elite soldiers stay by our side in order to make us think that the Ming Kingdom is very strong. 'Conclusion.

Because of a single linear logic, it can indeed be deduced: the number of elite soldiers like the Ming Kingdom is very small→ so the war is not favorable→ these small number of elite soldiers stay by our side→ in order to make us think that the Ming Kingdom is strong→ missionaries are asked to help make weapons and train the new army.

If it's a hypothetical math problem, then this one is fine.

However, this is a specific assumption.

Let's say there's only red and black.

A simple counterexample: a small number of elite soldiers stayed by our side, perhaps because Wang Hongyu was able to carry these soldiers, not to make the missionaries think that the Ming Kingdom was strong.

This breaks the logic of a single assumption.

Even the specificity of red and black does not necessarily correspond to the facts.

Another simple counterexample: the war in the Ming Kingdom was unfavorable, perhaps because there were blind commanders who did not understand military affairs, it may be because the logistics and supplies were really not done well, or it may be because some of their own people suddenly defected, so the number of elite soldiers is definitely very small.

Long Huamin's words were caught loophole.

Kinney Pavilion and Bi Francis were not moved by him.

"Well, then I'll go with some skeptical missionaries and see what they have to say."

"Ask what?"

"Ask the southern soldiers among them, are the soldiers and horses of the nine sides stronger or weaker than them?

Ask the northern soldiers among them, are the native soldiers of Sichuan and Zhejiang stronger or weaker than them? ”

Long Huamin was a little proud, he was very confident in the information he had discovered.

Those civilian officials told him that Jiubian had always been dissatisfied with the Southern Army, and the Southern Army felt that Jiubian was bullying them.

As long as you ask, you will get the conclusion that the Nine Sides are terrible and the Southern Army is very bad.

Then the missionaries would not have stayed on Wang Hongyu's thief ship.

The mobile library is open to the public, and Wang Hongyu has publicized it in many ways, allowing the audience to visit it at any time. At the same time, it was announced that it would open a printing workshop in Baoding and a bookstore in Baoding City; Set up book sales and rental projects.

With the support of Governor Han Jun, a special warm-up of the cultural industry was prepared - a drama.

Drama is a new content, and it is announced that it is called a new style of storytelling, and it adds a lot of expressive stage performances compared to traditional storytelling.

In order to entice readers to buy the upcoming printing of Don Quixote, the theme of the play is an excerpt from Don Quixote.

Wang Hongyu, Li Tiezhu, Wang Zheng, Jinnige, Bi Fangji and others participated in the performance.

Before the performance, he made a poster with an overview of the story to be performed:

The protagonist of Don Quixote, whose original name is Alonso Gijada, is a country man who is fascinated by the knights who were popular at the time, and he himself wants to be a ranger like a knight.

He dreamed of being like those knights, majestic in his envy of evil and promoting good. He indulged in fantasies and ended up doing a lot of stupid things.

He found a tattered suit of armor from the family antiquities, named himself Don Quixote de La Mancha, and found a servant, Sancho; and a milkgirl in a neighboring village, named Dulcinia, as the person he wanted to serve all his life.

Then he rode a lean horse and ran away from home. Don Quixote also acted on the strange ideas in his head, and made many ridiculous things, and his actions were not only useless to others, but also suffered from beatings himself.

The drama performance was very lively and novel, and when the people saw the new storytelling, many people came to see it, and they got some rewards, and more importantly, the reputation spread.

Wang Hongyu said in the advertisement that there are many ridiculous things in this book.

You can't help but laugh out loud when you see Don Quixote riding an old horse and fighting windmills because he wanted to try his hand at knighthood. What a foolish thing to do!

Although everyone doesn't know much about European knights, they know that they are warriors with status by listening to the names and reading the introductions, and through Wang Hongyu's publicity, they probably know that in the West, knights are equal to the status of scribes here.

Since he is a person of status, how can a knight be so naïve?

So much so that he said that the copper pot that everyone knows is an almighty golden helmet, not to mention the ridiculousness.

When he saw a flock of sheep, thinking that it was a demon transformed, and slaughtered the sheep with a spear, he was beaten off his horse by the shepherd boy with stones, and his nose and face were swollen, and he was missing three teeth. You'll laugh and laugh your big teeth off.

The play tells the story of a group of prisoners who are escorted onto a ship, and Don Quixote, riding his lean horse and wielding a rusty iron spear, saves them as knights in custody.

As a result, he was severely beaten by the leader of the prisoners, and it is believed that more people will be victimized. Because he rescued not knights, but a gang of criminals who did many evils.

Because in the past few days, the governor has been arranging people to publicize Wang Hongyu's deeds, so the people immediately thought of Liaodong.

Don Quixote mistook the prisoners for good men, rescued them, and almost lost his life in the hands of these prisoners; Coincidentally, Yuan Yingtai saved tens of thousands of Mongolian refugees, and what he repaid was:

Nearly 100,000 Ming troops were lost, hundreds of thousands of Han people in Liaodong became slaves, two big cities and large areas of land were lost, and they also put their dog's life on the line, and they still stinted for 10,000 years after death.

There was depth in the laughter, which left a deep impression on everyone.

Later, he saw the windmill again, thinking it was the arm of a giant, and pierced the windmill's wings with a spear. Just then a gust of wind arose, and the windmill broke his spear into several pieces, and Don Quixote threw out the man and the horse.

The people laughed heartily.

But I also remembered that the government has been publicizing in the past few days, and the Hunhe Army is very supportive of technological inventions and recruits skilled craftsmen. Some traditional Confucian scribes despised this.

Aren't these rotten people just like Don Quixote?

The book "Don Quixote" satirizes people like Don Quixote along with him.

In fact, "Don Quixote" is a true portrayal of the psychology of some people today.

These people include the corrupt people.

Most of the officials present such as Han Jun were doers.

They understood from Don Quixote's ridiculous living textbook that they should still put real life first, and that reading or aspiring should not be divorced from reality, otherwise they might end up like Don Quixote and Yuan Yingtai.

Wang Hongyu can comprehend and act in such a drama, he is really a genius.
