Chapter 33 The Clues of Visiting Yiguan
Hu Caiting also squeezed into the inner circle at this time.
Just now she had heard the quarrel between Yu Wenwen and Su Lu, now she whispered in Qingyun's ear:
"Those Japanese people are really not a good thing.
Hmph, Kou has been messing with Sanhan for hundreds of years.
Prince Zhidalu played beautifully!I bet Sulu wins this time! "
It was only then that Qingyun remembered that Hu Caiting's ancestral home was also in Sanhan.
He once heard from his fourth sister that the land of Sanhan in Jizi Joseon Dynasty has now become Baekje, Silla and Gaya.
The Kingdom of Jizi was usurped by Weiman, and Weiman was conquered by the Han. The Han set up four counties to govern the former land of Jizi.
The people of Goguryeo lived together in the wilderness, and it was not until the Wuhu chaos and the four counties had no masters that they snatched the land north of the Han River from the Murong tribe of Xianbei and became the strongest force in North Korea.
However, Baekje is the largest country in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is proud of the army of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and it can also occupy a corner of the southwest.
However, the east of Baekje is still in a state of mixed tribes.
There are old people from Jizi Kingdom and Weiman Kingdom,
There are refugees from the Yan and Qin dynasties who have escaped from the world,
There is a small tribe of fuyu filth,
But the largest proportion is the Yue people imported from the sea.
The old country of the Yue people is called Daluo, and the so-called Xinluo refers to the new territory of the Luo people.
The tribe of Zhida Road is actually just one of the larger ones among the many states in Luoyu.
Some of their patriarchs are called Ni Shijin, that is, elders and wise men;
(The author’s case: The Korean history book "Historical Records of the Three Kingdoms" says that Ni Shijin is the local dialect of Sanhan, and the corresponding Chinese characters are teeth, which is the meaning of the elders)
Some are called Ma Ligan, that is, the village king.
The situation in Gaya is roughly the same, because the national power is the weakest, and there are many Japanese pirate dens in the land.
These dens are also the areas under the jurisdiction of the Japanese people.
The Japanese came to North Korea to plunder, of course they like to pick those weak scattered tribes.
The fourth sister's hometown, Panluo Kingdom, was looted by Japanese pirates in the old days and fell into a shambles. Finally, it was annexed by the nearby big tribes.
So Qingyun understood the fourth sister's innate dislike for Japanese people very well.
Fortunately, the fourth sister did not come with us yesterday, otherwise I would not be able to happily steal food with my friends.
Qing Yun was secretly rejoicing in his heart, but the two of them in the arena were already fighting like hell.
As soon as Li Shenjun's hand signal to start, the two bumped into each other, and then separated quickly.
It seems that both of them are hot-tempered, and they don't want to end the battle by scuffling.
Fist and leg wind, after a few face-to-face, you can almost tell whether they are superior or inferior.
This Yuwen Xun is not like that Japanese nobleman, at first glance he looks like a very hot character who has endured hardships and worked hard.
Not only did his physical fitness gain the upper hand, but he spared no effort in his shots.
Sulu suffered a few punches, and his forehead was already bruised, but the ferocity in his eyes continued unabated, which was obviously not a good thing.
"This Yuwen family member has some roots."
Qingyun saw that the situation was not good for Sulu, so he was ready to guide Caiting.
"Hey, Mrs. Yuwen.
The members of Yuwen's family are naturally not simple.
The most ruthless tribe outside the pass, except for the Duan family, they are the only ones.
Murong Tuoba had to stand aside. "
"Then you still bet on Sulu winning?"
"My sister likes it! Besides, there is no bet on it, who am I willing to bet on?"
The two of them were chatting, and Sulu on the scene seemed to be even uglier,
Blood dripped continuously from his mouth and nose, a left arm was hanging limply, and his heavy breathing dragged his footsteps.
But Yu Wenxuan's speed didn't drop by half, and he kicked Su Lu's crotch again with a "bang".
The latter let out a muffled grunt, turned sideways and turned two somersaults before barely standing up again with his right hand on the ground.
"Heroes, please! Please save Sulu!"
The woman in yellow also crowded beside Qing Yun at some point,
With an anxious expression on her face, she put her palms together and kept bowing to Qingyun and his party.
Qingyun glanced back, the second brother, the third brother and Miss Yin also came over,
My group of people each carry sharp knives, maybe that's why the woman in yellow fell in love with them.
Qing Yun just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu Ying,
"No! This is Da Wei, interfering with a duel is a felony!
Not only will he be imprisoned, but he will also be cast aside.
Not only you, Brother Sulu will also be looked down upon! "
Qingyun looked at the situation in the arena, and then at the poor woman in front of him, he really couldn't bear it,
"But if you keep going like this, that guy will die."
Sulu fell to the ground more and more times, but got up more and more slowly.
Although Yu Wenxuan looked like a gentleman, he didn't pursue him when he got up,
But the playful smile on the corner of his mouth was like a feline frequently letting go of its prey, full of pride and enjoyment, cold-blooded and cruel.
"If he would rather die than give up.
Then even if you save him, he will be more sad than death. "
Qingyun knew that what the third brother said was right, so he took a peek at the woman in yellow.
The woman was really anxious, seeing Sulu being kicked a few times, she almost rushed into the arena to hug Yuwen herself.
"It doesn't matter, I..."
Although Qingyun's hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, someone pinned down his wrist again.
This time, it was Li Shenjun who held him down.
"You can't save him like this."
"But!"
"Unless he accidentally faints, no one can save him."
Li Shenjun looked at Qingyun and Liu Ying, he spoke words like mosquito gnats, if he hadn't borrowed his lips, he really couldn't read the meaning.
Li Shenjun still needed to maintain order, and quickly retreated to the field, but his steps were subtle, seemingly inadvertently stealing Yu Wenxuan's direction of action.
Yu Wenxuan didn't feel anything wrong, but turned his body slightly, and moved to a position facing Qingyun.
With a tiger roar, Sulu staggered and rushed forward again.
He only has one eye and can barely open a gap, and he can't even step out of a straight line when running.
Although the right arm can still be swung, it is also covered with blood stains and bruises, and the punch is completely out of focus.
Yu Wenwen sneered and kicked Su Lu's broken left arm again.
Sulu hissed and roared in pain, flipped out, and rolled directly to the edge of the crowd.
Liu Ying's sword hilt shook slightly. If it weren't for the highly skilled martial arts masters who have been paying attention to the movements of his hands, they would never have noticed that he had moved any hands or feet.
It's just that when Su Lu fell over, he suddenly fell limp and hit Liu Ying heavily, and there was no more sound.
"Yu Wenxuan wins!"
Li Shenjun called the verdict, but the winner was still a little dazed.
He has taken absolute advantage and is playing tricks on his opponents,
I haven't vented enough of the sullenness in my heart, how, how did I win?
"This Li Shenjun is really not simple!"
This is from Liu won the evaluation.
What Liu Ying said is not simple, there is absolutely only one kind, and that is real kung fu.
He was able to stun Sulu just now, and Liu Ying's concealment and quickness in his moves is certainly ingenious.
But Li Shenjun's footwork is a real miracle, allowing the person involved to fall into the trap without realizing it.
"Ok!"
Qingyun just responded casually, and looked at the "winner" who was showing off his muscles, but seemed to have never enjoyed himself, his eyes were full of contempt.
The woman in yellow rushed forward to hug Sulu, but she couldn't.
Ji Zhi hurried over to help him up.
Prince Zhidalu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw that someone was taking care of his brother, so he rushed to Yu Wenxuan first, demanding to fight him again, but was stopped by Li Shenjun.
The laws of the Northern Wei Dynasty, not every Nadama - an official competitive event,
Dueling fights, each person can only conduct one match on the same day.
But this tongue-in-cheek is not within the limit.
At this time, Zhi Dalu's mood was obviously very anxious, and Yu Wenwen was naturally not a good man or a believer.
When the two of them got to the hot place, they both used the Sanhan dialect. They didn't pick up their necks and didn't pull their ears, and Xie Jimeng made clothes. Except for Hu Caiting, whose face was flushed, the rest of them didn't know what to say.
The fourth sister has always had a bad temper.
It was because of the rules that she didn't join just now, now that the duel has stopped, what is there for her to save face in the first female class?
I saw her flying up, the sword never leaving the sheath, the human and sword united, and rushed directly to Yu Wenxuan.
The latter was cursing, and it was too late to realize something was wrong, when he hurriedly raised his left arm to block it, a piercing pain came, his forearm fell limply from the elbow socket, and the wound was the same as Sulu just now.
"Natural!"
Hu Caiting scolded in Silla dialect disdainfully, turned around and left.
Yu Wenxuan wanted to explode, but saw that the other party was a woman, so he had to hold back forcefully.
Broken arm by a big girl?
How can you meet people if this matter is spread out?
Facing Li Shenjun's "kindly" question, Yu Wenxuan rolled his eyes, only thought that he was injured when the corner arrived, and it was nothing serious, so he walked away in despair.
Brother Qingyun and Yu Wenxuan met yesterday, so they didn't want to do too much.
At this time, they pretended not to see anything, and carefully helped Sulu straighten his bones, bandage the wound, and then took him back to the room.
Zhi Dalu and the woman in yellow are very grateful to the heroes who have offered their help in front of them, and the next unexpected harvest will come without wasting effort.
It turned out that the one who lived in the Zen room with Zhidalu and Sulu was actually Murong Shengying and Liu Bijinduo from Yibo Kingdom.
The two of them were also watching this scene just now, and they didn't have a good impression of the bully Yu Wenyu.
In the spirit of roommates, I would also like to thank Qingyun and his party endlessly.
After such a farce, everyone is naturally friends, and there is no scruple in speaking.
Although it's inconvenient to go to Huishen's house to ask for food today, I don't have to worry about missing a place to chat.
Under the guidance of Junzhi's words, several people also began to reveal the purpose of coming to China.
Zhidalu and Sulu naturally want to integrate the countries of Sillagaya and establish a country that can jointly defend against the Japanese and compete with Goguryeo and Baekje on the peninsula, so they are very eager to get the support of big countries.
And Liu Bijinduo was the largest Poli businessman on the Silk Road, and he came to Dawei to expand his business.
That Murong Holy Infant is even more extraordinary, he is the current son of King Murong Tuyuhun.
The identity of this prince was not indicated on the roster because his title of Holy Infant was more resounding in the temple.
In fact, his Xianbei real name is He Lutou.
Helan means "holy" in Guanwai language; Helutou, in Chinese translation, is Holy Infant.
Murong's family also welcomes Buddhism, and the title of Holy Infant would never dare to be messed up by themselves.
This name was given by master Tong Baonian, a Taoist of Lanruo Temple, who personally empowered and blessed him when he traveled from the mountains outside the mountains to the middle land and passed through Tuyuhun.
Therefore, since King Tuyuhun ascended the throne six years ago, he has often sent this Holy Infant to pay tribute to the Great Wei Dynasty.
And every time he came to Central Earth, he would stop at Lanruo Temple and ask Master Baonian for scriptures and Buddhist scriptures.
This Holy Infant of the Murong family has a deep relationship with Master Bao Nian.
Whether he has any problems, as long as the eldest brother asks Master Bao Nian to check and check, he can find out.
During the conversation, the Murong family expressed very eager expectations for the current king of Wei's policy of triggering Qiang to enter Tibet and promoting Mu Duan's marriage. Presumably, the elder brother's judgment on them at that time was not in the wrong direction.
This small Siyi Pavilion is like a river and lake.
The countries around China have their own thoughts, respecting the Buddha is the name, and competing for favor is the truth.
Thinking about the farce between neighboring small countries like today, it seems that it is not an isolated case.
The little dragon king heard that they had been busy for a day and got nothing. He was a little depressed at first, but he was excited when he heard that the fourth sister had acted out of righteousness.
If he knew that Yu Wenxuan had such a vicious temperament, he should have been cleaned up yesterday!
Finally, when he heard about the relationship between Murong Shengying and Bao Nian, he sighed and waved his hand to signal that this person does not need to investigate further.
"Today I met Master Bao Nian, he also mentioned the Holy Infant, and his words were quite praiseworthy.
With Master Bao Nian endorsing him, there would be no problem.
I think it may be a misjudgment that we delineated the range of suspects in the Siyi Pavilion. "
"Brother, why did you say this?"
Dianzhi vaguely understood, but Qingyun was still confused, so he asked this question.
"Today Master Bao Nian told me that Erzhu Xinxing was very peaceful after he came to Lanruo Animal Garden, and hardly went out.
Wild animals are kept in captivity in the beast garden, and idlers are not allowed to enter. Usually, except for the heads of the halls who sometimes make routine inspections, there are only a few masters who tame animals.
Because these animal trainers are responsible for restraining beasts during royal sacrifices, they have all undergone strict scrutiny.
However, since there is a problem with the run-down Khan of Baode Temple, the possibility of spies among them cannot be absolutely ruled out. "
"The people who colluded with the prince have very big plans, and they are definitely not ordinary people.
It is difficult for a person of high status to escape the selection of the animal trainer,
So even if there are spies among those animal trainers, they are at most just informants. "
Tiezhi added a few words following the elder brother's train of thought, and suddenly his brows were frowned, thinking a little.
"Second brother! This is where you have an idea.
If you have an idea, speak it out, don't hide it.
Guessing your mind is even more troublesome. "
"No, brother. I just thought, could this person's status be very high and prominent, so that we have ignored their attention and suspicion?"
"You mean?"
"The first seat in the four halls?"
"Two orthodox?"
Everyone looked at Yuzhi with surprised eyes, which made him not so confident.
"I'm just talking about a hypothesis."
"Well, let me think about it.
There is absolutely no problem with Master Bao Nian, I can guarantee this with my personality.
I have known him for more than 20 years. At that time, I made a special trip to visit him in Tibet.
Daoist Datong, this person is very low-key, I still don't even know his Dharma name.
However, it is said that he was a saint whom Empress Dowager Feng invited back in person.
This shouldn't be a big problem, right?
I am not familiar with the four first seats.
Speaking of which, I have been in the temple for some time, that is to say, I have seen Master Kongkong Kongkong and Master Brahman more often.
The other two, um, the Buddhist virtuous master, occasionally give scripture classes.
However, Juefa has almost never met his face. "
"The few of us met Master Juefa on the first day of visiting the temple, but we have no contact with him since then.
Master Baonian said that day that he could be with Mr. Huayang..."
When Liu Ying said this, thinking about it, he forcibly swallowed the word "shoulder to shoulder".
Junzhi smiled lightly, and took the words over, so as not to embarrass the third brother,
"Actually, we don't have to make random guesses.
It is better to lead the snake out of the hole than to wait and see.
Wouldn't it be easy if we sent Erzhu Xinxing a piece of news that the princelings had to deal with, and then quietly waited for his performance? "
"What news will make the prince's henchmen take action?
If the second brother cares about it, he can simply say it straightforwardly. "
"What if the prince is to be transferred to Lanruo Temple?"
Monk Yuan Fa slapped his forehead,
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Well, just posting a message is not enough, I think a real prince should be transferred here."
Everyone was in an uproar again.
Qingyun Qiqi Ai Ai tentatively said,
"I, I met five princes when I was in the palace.
But, but there is only one person who is as old as the prince, right? "
"Is one not enough?"
Qingyun rolled his eyes because of the scorn, brother, is this really stupid, or is he just pretending to be stupid?
"But if it is seen through, the second prince, he will be in danger!"
"You think big brother doesn't understand?"
Monk Yuan Fa glared at Qing Yun,
"The king of Wei was raised by me, how can I not know the character of his princes?
King Wei will not have any objection to this matter, and Yuan Ke will not object.
Regardless of whether or not the prince's remnant party can be wiped out in one fell swoop, as long as Yuan Ke can survive the catastrophe and escape completely, it will be beneficial to him without any harm.
So maybe they're both happy to see it happen?
It is easy to abolish a prince, but it is difficult to establish a prince.
Although the princes are small, they have their mother clan and staff behind them.
Although Mingli has not yet started to intrigue, the undercurrent must have already begun. "
The next day, the Little Dragon King rode back to Luoyang alone to make preparations for Yuan Ke's visit to Song Dynasty.
No matter whether it is climbing the back mountain or investigating the princelings, there is no clue at this time, and the rest of the people are left clean.
The two girls are going to go to the market in Goushi Town at the foot of the mountain, and Liu Ying also wants to act alone.
Qingyun grew up attached to Tiezhi, so he naturally followed his second elder brother, and went to the imperial room to play with Danding.
Ever since I got the crossbow machine blueprint jointly designed by my father and teacher, I have been studying and calculating in my spare time.
According to his judgment, the design range of this hand-held crossbow is more than five hundred steps, which is far better than that of bows and arrows.
At that time, the range of hand-held crossbows was only fifty steps, and the limit of strong bows could not exceed two hundred steps.
The bow and arrow follow a parabola. Because the arrow uses gravity, its lethality will not decrease with distance.
However, at the end of the crossbow, its power cannot penetrate Lu Jin, because the crossbow is a weapon that relies entirely on the elasticity of the bowstring to pursue the accuracy of straight-line shooting, and its power decays quickly with distance.
Therefore, unless it is a large bed crossbow, the range of the crossbow is far inferior to that of a bow and arrow.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The use and aiming of bows and arrows is very difficult. Predicting the trajectory of a parabola depends entirely on experience.
In history, Lu Bu shot a twig of the painted halberd within a hundred steps is already a miraculous bow and arrow performance.
However, the stability of the crossbow is very good, and the auxiliary facilities can be used to aim within the range, and the penetration within the effective range is also better than that of the bow.
Once the range of a crossbow can match that of a bow, it will immediately become a strategic weapon!
If any soldier with a crossbow machine has the ability to directly attack the enemy's general in the army, wouldn't the opponent's general have to hide behind the shield and dare not show his face?
So how does he give orders?
standard bearer?Snipe!
order?Snipe!
A team of snipers is enough to make an opposing army leaderless.
But when Tunzhi understood the drawings, he faced more problems.
Most inventions in ancient times were not stuck in conceptual design,
Even if there is no engine, no electric motor, water power, wind power, or even human power can be used.
What really hinders the progress of tools is often the material. There is no suitable material to complete the design and the strength required to complete the design.
Just like if there is modern steel casting technology, there is no need to worry that ancient man-made guns cannot be produced.
Where is our current hoisting machinery and hydraulic machinery better than ancient times?
It's just that the material gives a higher applicable load.
The same problem Takumi is facing now, what kind of string can provide such a large tension?
What kind of crossbow arm will not be destroyed by such tension?
What kind of person is needed to pull such a crossbowstring?
How can we reduce the weight of arrows without losing lethality?
As long as there is a short board in one material, the design can only stay on paper.
But now there is no one in Ji Zhi's hand, the only thing he can do is to complete the aiming device first according to Yuheng's method of peeking into the sky. Now that he has obtained Poli by accident, he should make the best use of it.
He didn't understand the characteristics of Poly.
Although tried and tested, the hardness of this material is suitable for sanding.
But sanding is the next choice for molding.
If you only rely on grinding, you may not be able to grind the iron pestle into a needle in this lifetime.
However, if the cutting process is abused, it is easy to cause the material to crack, leaving internal injuries, and it will be too late to discover it until the finished product is made.
Therefore, the best process for processing and forming is always fan casting.
If this material can be melted and softened and poured into the mold, all problems can be solved.
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties of China, the lost-wax method was used to make the molds, and the complex bronze vessels cast by today's engineers are amazed.
For example, the famous Zenghou Yizun plate, the fine bronze carvings make patients with dense pores unbearable.
As long as it can be modeled, Poli is a god.
Well, as it happens, this Polaris can be molded.
The Poli beads in the copper tripod continued to soften, and finally turned into a sticky substance like syrup.
The two eyebrows of Ji Zhi couldn't stop beating, that kind of excited emotion, even the power of the prehistoric could not be sealed.
At such moments, Qingyun is usually helpless.
He stared at the sweat-drenched ancestor Dianzhi by the fire with his shirt off, and silently poured a ladle of water on his body.
There are only a few glass beads in total, and they can't cover the bottom of a small copper tripod the size of an incense burner. Even if they are treasures, what can they do?
The autumn wind was rustling, and even when it was blown by the stove, it became a smoked wind, and Qingyun's eyelids became heavier and heavier.
He was holding a water ladle, drooping his shoulders, and his heavy eyelids made the mountains in the distance more and more blurred.
In his ignorance, Qingyun seemed to see a white-robed Taoist waving to him on the edge of the cliff.
He pointed to Shaoshi Mountain opposite and asked,
"It used to be the dojo of Emperor Zhongyue of my Taoism, but now it is occupied by the captives!
This young hero, would you like to accompany me to retake the sacred mountain and blessed land? "
Qingyun looked at the Cangcang distant mountain, the secluded empty valley, the soles of his feet felt weak,
"Although the boy has such a heart, what about the two peaks and the sky? I haven't had wings, how can I fly across?"
"What's so difficult about this?"
The Taoist waved his hand, and a pair of wooden wings spread out, about Zhang Xu wide.
"Young hero, take this wing, the old man can help you!"
Qingyun was caught by the Taoist like a chicken before he could be distinguished, and tied to the wooden wing skeleton. He kicked the Taoist with his buttocks, and then rushed straight towards the empty mountain and valley.
"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""
We talked about Australia in the previous document, and this time we will talk about America.
At this time, a judge said, you said that Australia is connected to the islands of the Asian road, that's all.The Americas and China are separated by vast oceans. Could there be a connection with China in ancient times?How advanced were the ocean-going level of the ancients?
Doubting the ancients is a classic argument that proves that people today are wiser than the ancients. For example, many experts "researched" that although the Soochow period could build large ships that could run horses on the deck, those tall ships were unstable and were all silver-like pewter guns. If you can't go to the ocean, it will fall apart when you go to sea.Therefore, Soochow ships do not have ocean-going capabilities.
But they ignored the fact that Sun Quan sent more than [-] troops to Liaodong to buy horses.When the news that the envoy of Wu was beheaded by Gongsun Yuan came back, Sun Biyan would have sent an army of [-] sailors to Liaodong if his ministers hadn't stopped him.
In fact, in the "Linhai Soil Chronicles" and "Nanzhou Foreign Object Chronicles" at the end of the Han Dynasty, it has been recorded that the Wu people could manufacture sea ships with four to seven sails that could carry hundreds of people. "Taiping Yulan Xuzhou" says: "Wu people use boats as horses, and huge seas as Yigeng (smooth way, see "Zuo Zhuan Chenggong 18th Year" and cover their land, Sai Yigeng, "Note" Yigeng , the main route between Wu and Jin.) Also." So at least during the Three Kingdoms period, the routes between China, Japan and South Korea were already very mature and regular routes.
The possibility of ocean-going America, if it is based on the success rate standard of modern shipping, it is naturally impossible.But in the face of the ancient sages' spirit of seeking knowledge and selflessness towards the unknown, with continuous attempts, ninety-nine losers will eventually be matched.For example, the Yue people may not have better ship technology than the Wu people, but the Austronesian people have been fighting against the sky and the sea as early as the Era.Under the influence of monsoons and ocean currents, even drifting is enough to carry floating objects across the ocean, let alone a sea-going ship powered by heavy sails? "Wu Shiwai Zhi" stated that a seven-masted ship could reach Daqin in less than a month, and the route from India to the Red Sea was actually about the same distance as going to America in a straight line.It’s just that the supply of the eastbound route is obviously not as good as that of the westbound route. The only technical difficulty is the survival of the full moon-about this point, we will elaborate in subsequent works of the series.
Our main discussion in this work is whether there were any Chinese who went to America before Columbus discovered the New World, or whether there were any Americans who went to China.At least according to the records in "Book of Liang", monk Huishen can definitely be included in the standard answer:
Fusang Kingdom, in the first year of Qi Yongyuan, its state-owned monk Huishen came to Jingzhou and said: "Fusang is in the Han Dynasty ("Liang Shu" says, the tattoo country is more than [-] miles northeast of the Wa Kingdom/about today's Scandinavia. Dahan The country is more than [-] miles east of Wenshen Country/about today's Alaska.) It is more than [-] miles east (so this Fusang country is more than [-] miles east of Alaska, and the location coincides), the land is in the east of China, and its soil is full of hibiscus trees , so it is named.” Hibiscus leaves are like tung trees, and they are born like bamboo shoots (the same is true for cactus, especially the agave in Mexico is a standard tung leaf-shaped cactus), and Chinese people eat it, and it is really like pears and red (what is cactus fruit? Dragon fruit, native to the Americas, is red like a pear, and its leaves are like a tung tree), its skin is made into cloth for clothing, and it is also considered cotton.Make a wooden house without a city wall.There are characters, and hibiscus skin is used as paper (dragon fruit skin can really be used to make paper). There are horns that are very long, and the horns are used to carry things (Texas longhorn? Native to North America), up to twenty dendrobium.Cars include horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and deer carts.People in the country raise deer, just like cattle in China, and use milk as butter.There are mulberry pears, which are not bad all year round (small pumpkins, eggplant type, native to the Americas). ... In their marriage, the son-in-law goes to build a house outside the daughter's house, and sweeps it every morning and evening. After years, if the daughter is displeased, he drives her away. If they are happy, they get married.The wedding is probably the same as in China.For the death of relatives, fast for seven days; for the death of grandparents, fast for five days; for brothers, uncles, aunts, and sisters, fast for three days. ... Its customs were old and there was no Buddhism. In the second year of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, five monks from the state of Gubin traveled to the country to circulate Buddhism, scriptures and images, and ordered them to become monks. The customs changed accordingly.
Huishen also said: "There is a country of women more than a thousand miles east of Fusang. They have good appearance, very white color (early European contact, Nordic people), hairy body, and long hair. In February and March, when they enter the water, they will be pregnant. , giving birth in June and July (this is a bit outrageous, is it a reference to the legend of the Chinese women's country?). Women have no breasts on their chests (is this the result of gender indiscrimination?), hair on the back of the neck, and white roots (at least from the description of body hair, yes The characteristics of the Nordic people have been grasped to the extreme), there is juice in the hair, and the milk can be done in a hundred days, and it will be an adult in three or four years. See people and avoid them, and they are afraid of their husbands. Eat salty grass (tobacco or coca , native to the Americas) are like animals. The salty grass leaves are like wormwood, and the smell is salty." In the sixth year of Tianjian, a Jin'an person crossed the sea (communication is no longer one-way), and was blown by the wind to an island, landed, Some people stop.Women are like China, with incomprehensible speech; men have human bodies and dog heads (shaman masks?), and their voices are like barking.It eats small beans (kidney beans? native to the Americas), and its clothes are like cloth.The soil is built as a wall, its shape is round, and its household is like a sinus (sinus is the door of the tomb, see the door type of Mayan architecture, such as the door of the Chinese tomb with a stone frame and stone door).
This "Book of Liang" describes a number of species unique to the New World.Readers, do your own research. This is the official history. Is it fabricated? Even if it is fabricated, how can you compile so many matching details?It does also mention a species that was introduced from Europe in the traditional western view of the Americas - cattle.However, the Great Exchange of Columbus is always a Western view of history. At least in Columbus’s logbook, it has been revealed that there are Asian chickens in America, rather than being introduced from Europe as in the Western view of history. ".
Then we come to the Texas longhorn, a species unique to the Americas with horns reaching several meters in length.If we have a shameless "Wiki", we will find that they are the first generation of "descendants" of cattle imported from Europe to the Americas, and they were first discovered in the [-]th century (this mutation is really fast! This shape is less than a century It was turned upside down), which was produced by the hybridization of eastern cattle (imported cattle from Europe) and Mexican wild cattle (what? Where did these cattle come from? Can you explain clearly?).Can you guess who this long horn is following?Did America have cattle before the arrival of Europeans?The author does not comment much here, and will continue to extend it later.
(End of this chapter)
Hu Caiting also squeezed into the inner circle at this time.
Just now she had heard the quarrel between Yu Wenwen and Su Lu, now she whispered in Qingyun's ear:
"Those Japanese people are really not a good thing.
Hmph, Kou has been messing with Sanhan for hundreds of years.
Prince Zhidalu played beautifully!I bet Sulu wins this time! "
It was only then that Qingyun remembered that Hu Caiting's ancestral home was also in Sanhan.
He once heard from his fourth sister that the land of Sanhan in Jizi Joseon Dynasty has now become Baekje, Silla and Gaya.
The Kingdom of Jizi was usurped by Weiman, and Weiman was conquered by the Han. The Han set up four counties to govern the former land of Jizi.
The people of Goguryeo lived together in the wilderness, and it was not until the Wuhu chaos and the four counties had no masters that they snatched the land north of the Han River from the Murong tribe of Xianbei and became the strongest force in North Korea.
However, Baekje is the largest country in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is proud of the army of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and it can also occupy a corner of the southwest.
However, the east of Baekje is still in a state of mixed tribes.
There are old people from Jizi Kingdom and Weiman Kingdom,
There are refugees from the Yan and Qin dynasties who have escaped from the world,
There is a small tribe of fuyu filth,
But the largest proportion is the Yue people imported from the sea.
The old country of the Yue people is called Daluo, and the so-called Xinluo refers to the new territory of the Luo people.
The tribe of Zhida Road is actually just one of the larger ones among the many states in Luoyu.
Some of their patriarchs are called Ni Shijin, that is, elders and wise men;
(The author’s case: The Korean history book "Historical Records of the Three Kingdoms" says that Ni Shijin is the local dialect of Sanhan, and the corresponding Chinese characters are teeth, which is the meaning of the elders)
Some are called Ma Ligan, that is, the village king.
The situation in Gaya is roughly the same, because the national power is the weakest, and there are many Japanese pirate dens in the land.
These dens are also the areas under the jurisdiction of the Japanese people.
The Japanese came to North Korea to plunder, of course they like to pick those weak scattered tribes.
The fourth sister's hometown, Panluo Kingdom, was looted by Japanese pirates in the old days and fell into a shambles. Finally, it was annexed by the nearby big tribes.
So Qingyun understood the fourth sister's innate dislike for Japanese people very well.
Fortunately, the fourth sister did not come with us yesterday, otherwise I would not be able to happily steal food with my friends.
Qing Yun was secretly rejoicing in his heart, but the two of them in the arena were already fighting like hell.
As soon as Li Shenjun's hand signal to start, the two bumped into each other, and then separated quickly.
It seems that both of them are hot-tempered, and they don't want to end the battle by scuffling.
Fist and leg wind, after a few face-to-face, you can almost tell whether they are superior or inferior.
This Yuwen Xun is not like that Japanese nobleman, at first glance he looks like a very hot character who has endured hardships and worked hard.
Not only did his physical fitness gain the upper hand, but he spared no effort in his shots.
Sulu suffered a few punches, and his forehead was already bruised, but the ferocity in his eyes continued unabated, which was obviously not a good thing.
"This Yuwen family member has some roots."
Qingyun saw that the situation was not good for Sulu, so he was ready to guide Caiting.
"Hey, Mrs. Yuwen.
The members of Yuwen's family are naturally not simple.
The most ruthless tribe outside the pass, except for the Duan family, they are the only ones.
Murong Tuoba had to stand aside. "
"Then you still bet on Sulu winning?"
"My sister likes it! Besides, there is no bet on it, who am I willing to bet on?"
The two of them were chatting, and Sulu on the scene seemed to be even uglier,
Blood dripped continuously from his mouth and nose, a left arm was hanging limply, and his heavy breathing dragged his footsteps.
But Yu Wenxuan's speed didn't drop by half, and he kicked Su Lu's crotch again with a "bang".
The latter let out a muffled grunt, turned sideways and turned two somersaults before barely standing up again with his right hand on the ground.
"Heroes, please! Please save Sulu!"
The woman in yellow also crowded beside Qing Yun at some point,
With an anxious expression on her face, she put her palms together and kept bowing to Qingyun and his party.
Qingyun glanced back, the second brother, the third brother and Miss Yin also came over,
My group of people each carry sharp knives, maybe that's why the woman in yellow fell in love with them.
Qing Yun just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu Ying,
"No! This is Da Wei, interfering with a duel is a felony!
Not only will he be imprisoned, but he will also be cast aside.
Not only you, Brother Sulu will also be looked down upon! "
Qingyun looked at the situation in the arena, and then at the poor woman in front of him, he really couldn't bear it,
"But if you keep going like this, that guy will die."
Sulu fell to the ground more and more times, but got up more and more slowly.
Although Yu Wenxuan looked like a gentleman, he didn't pursue him when he got up,
But the playful smile on the corner of his mouth was like a feline frequently letting go of its prey, full of pride and enjoyment, cold-blooded and cruel.
"If he would rather die than give up.
Then even if you save him, he will be more sad than death. "
Qingyun knew that what the third brother said was right, so he took a peek at the woman in yellow.
The woman was really anxious, seeing Sulu being kicked a few times, she almost rushed into the arena to hug Yuwen herself.
"It doesn't matter, I..."
Although Qingyun's hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, someone pinned down his wrist again.
This time, it was Li Shenjun who held him down.
"You can't save him like this."
"But!"
"Unless he accidentally faints, no one can save him."
Li Shenjun looked at Qingyun and Liu Ying, he spoke words like mosquito gnats, if he hadn't borrowed his lips, he really couldn't read the meaning.
Li Shenjun still needed to maintain order, and quickly retreated to the field, but his steps were subtle, seemingly inadvertently stealing Yu Wenxuan's direction of action.
Yu Wenxuan didn't feel anything wrong, but turned his body slightly, and moved to a position facing Qingyun.
With a tiger roar, Sulu staggered and rushed forward again.
He only has one eye and can barely open a gap, and he can't even step out of a straight line when running.
Although the right arm can still be swung, it is also covered with blood stains and bruises, and the punch is completely out of focus.
Yu Wenwen sneered and kicked Su Lu's broken left arm again.
Sulu hissed and roared in pain, flipped out, and rolled directly to the edge of the crowd.
Liu Ying's sword hilt shook slightly. If it weren't for the highly skilled martial arts masters who have been paying attention to the movements of his hands, they would never have noticed that he had moved any hands or feet.
It's just that when Su Lu fell over, he suddenly fell limp and hit Liu Ying heavily, and there was no more sound.
"Yu Wenxuan wins!"
Li Shenjun called the verdict, but the winner was still a little dazed.
He has taken absolute advantage and is playing tricks on his opponents,
I haven't vented enough of the sullenness in my heart, how, how did I win?
"This Li Shenjun is really not simple!"
This is from Liu won the evaluation.
What Liu Ying said is not simple, there is absolutely only one kind, and that is real kung fu.
He was able to stun Sulu just now, and Liu Ying's concealment and quickness in his moves is certainly ingenious.
But Li Shenjun's footwork is a real miracle, allowing the person involved to fall into the trap without realizing it.
"Ok!"
Qingyun just responded casually, and looked at the "winner" who was showing off his muscles, but seemed to have never enjoyed himself, his eyes were full of contempt.
The woman in yellow rushed forward to hug Sulu, but she couldn't.
Ji Zhi hurried over to help him up.
Prince Zhidalu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw that someone was taking care of his brother, so he rushed to Yu Wenxuan first, demanding to fight him again, but was stopped by Li Shenjun.
The laws of the Northern Wei Dynasty, not every Nadama - an official competitive event,
Dueling fights, each person can only conduct one match on the same day.
But this tongue-in-cheek is not within the limit.
At this time, Zhi Dalu's mood was obviously very anxious, and Yu Wenwen was naturally not a good man or a believer.
When the two of them got to the hot place, they both used the Sanhan dialect. They didn't pick up their necks and didn't pull their ears, and Xie Jimeng made clothes. Except for Hu Caiting, whose face was flushed, the rest of them didn't know what to say.
The fourth sister has always had a bad temper.
It was because of the rules that she didn't join just now, now that the duel has stopped, what is there for her to save face in the first female class?
I saw her flying up, the sword never leaving the sheath, the human and sword united, and rushed directly to Yu Wenxuan.
The latter was cursing, and it was too late to realize something was wrong, when he hurriedly raised his left arm to block it, a piercing pain came, his forearm fell limply from the elbow socket, and the wound was the same as Sulu just now.
"Natural!"
Hu Caiting scolded in Silla dialect disdainfully, turned around and left.
Yu Wenxuan wanted to explode, but saw that the other party was a woman, so he had to hold back forcefully.
Broken arm by a big girl?
How can you meet people if this matter is spread out?
Facing Li Shenjun's "kindly" question, Yu Wenxuan rolled his eyes, only thought that he was injured when the corner arrived, and it was nothing serious, so he walked away in despair.
Brother Qingyun and Yu Wenxuan met yesterday, so they didn't want to do too much.
At this time, they pretended not to see anything, and carefully helped Sulu straighten his bones, bandage the wound, and then took him back to the room.
Zhi Dalu and the woman in yellow are very grateful to the heroes who have offered their help in front of them, and the next unexpected harvest will come without wasting effort.
It turned out that the one who lived in the Zen room with Zhidalu and Sulu was actually Murong Shengying and Liu Bijinduo from Yibo Kingdom.
The two of them were also watching this scene just now, and they didn't have a good impression of the bully Yu Wenyu.
In the spirit of roommates, I would also like to thank Qingyun and his party endlessly.
After such a farce, everyone is naturally friends, and there is no scruple in speaking.
Although it's inconvenient to go to Huishen's house to ask for food today, I don't have to worry about missing a place to chat.
Under the guidance of Junzhi's words, several people also began to reveal the purpose of coming to China.
Zhidalu and Sulu naturally want to integrate the countries of Sillagaya and establish a country that can jointly defend against the Japanese and compete with Goguryeo and Baekje on the peninsula, so they are very eager to get the support of big countries.
And Liu Bijinduo was the largest Poli businessman on the Silk Road, and he came to Dawei to expand his business.
That Murong Holy Infant is even more extraordinary, he is the current son of King Murong Tuyuhun.
The identity of this prince was not indicated on the roster because his title of Holy Infant was more resounding in the temple.
In fact, his Xianbei real name is He Lutou.
Helan means "holy" in Guanwai language; Helutou, in Chinese translation, is Holy Infant.
Murong's family also welcomes Buddhism, and the title of Holy Infant would never dare to be messed up by themselves.
This name was given by master Tong Baonian, a Taoist of Lanruo Temple, who personally empowered and blessed him when he traveled from the mountains outside the mountains to the middle land and passed through Tuyuhun.
Therefore, since King Tuyuhun ascended the throne six years ago, he has often sent this Holy Infant to pay tribute to the Great Wei Dynasty.
And every time he came to Central Earth, he would stop at Lanruo Temple and ask Master Baonian for scriptures and Buddhist scriptures.
This Holy Infant of the Murong family has a deep relationship with Master Bao Nian.
Whether he has any problems, as long as the eldest brother asks Master Bao Nian to check and check, he can find out.
During the conversation, the Murong family expressed very eager expectations for the current king of Wei's policy of triggering Qiang to enter Tibet and promoting Mu Duan's marriage. Presumably, the elder brother's judgment on them at that time was not in the wrong direction.
This small Siyi Pavilion is like a river and lake.
The countries around China have their own thoughts, respecting the Buddha is the name, and competing for favor is the truth.
Thinking about the farce between neighboring small countries like today, it seems that it is not an isolated case.
The little dragon king heard that they had been busy for a day and got nothing. He was a little depressed at first, but he was excited when he heard that the fourth sister had acted out of righteousness.
If he knew that Yu Wenxuan had such a vicious temperament, he should have been cleaned up yesterday!
Finally, when he heard about the relationship between Murong Shengying and Bao Nian, he sighed and waved his hand to signal that this person does not need to investigate further.
"Today I met Master Bao Nian, he also mentioned the Holy Infant, and his words were quite praiseworthy.
With Master Bao Nian endorsing him, there would be no problem.
I think it may be a misjudgment that we delineated the range of suspects in the Siyi Pavilion. "
"Brother, why did you say this?"
Dianzhi vaguely understood, but Qingyun was still confused, so he asked this question.
"Today Master Bao Nian told me that Erzhu Xinxing was very peaceful after he came to Lanruo Animal Garden, and hardly went out.
Wild animals are kept in captivity in the beast garden, and idlers are not allowed to enter. Usually, except for the heads of the halls who sometimes make routine inspections, there are only a few masters who tame animals.
Because these animal trainers are responsible for restraining beasts during royal sacrifices, they have all undergone strict scrutiny.
However, since there is a problem with the run-down Khan of Baode Temple, the possibility of spies among them cannot be absolutely ruled out. "
"The people who colluded with the prince have very big plans, and they are definitely not ordinary people.
It is difficult for a person of high status to escape the selection of the animal trainer,
So even if there are spies among those animal trainers, they are at most just informants. "
Tiezhi added a few words following the elder brother's train of thought, and suddenly his brows were frowned, thinking a little.
"Second brother! This is where you have an idea.
If you have an idea, speak it out, don't hide it.
Guessing your mind is even more troublesome. "
"No, brother. I just thought, could this person's status be very high and prominent, so that we have ignored their attention and suspicion?"
"You mean?"
"The first seat in the four halls?"
"Two orthodox?"
Everyone looked at Yuzhi with surprised eyes, which made him not so confident.
"I'm just talking about a hypothesis."
"Well, let me think about it.
There is absolutely no problem with Master Bao Nian, I can guarantee this with my personality.
I have known him for more than 20 years. At that time, I made a special trip to visit him in Tibet.
Daoist Datong, this person is very low-key, I still don't even know his Dharma name.
However, it is said that he was a saint whom Empress Dowager Feng invited back in person.
This shouldn't be a big problem, right?
I am not familiar with the four first seats.
Speaking of which, I have been in the temple for some time, that is to say, I have seen Master Kongkong Kongkong and Master Brahman more often.
The other two, um, the Buddhist virtuous master, occasionally give scripture classes.
However, Juefa has almost never met his face. "
"The few of us met Master Juefa on the first day of visiting the temple, but we have no contact with him since then.
Master Baonian said that day that he could be with Mr. Huayang..."
When Liu Ying said this, thinking about it, he forcibly swallowed the word "shoulder to shoulder".
Junzhi smiled lightly, and took the words over, so as not to embarrass the third brother,
"Actually, we don't have to make random guesses.
It is better to lead the snake out of the hole than to wait and see.
Wouldn't it be easy if we sent Erzhu Xinxing a piece of news that the princelings had to deal with, and then quietly waited for his performance? "
"What news will make the prince's henchmen take action?
If the second brother cares about it, he can simply say it straightforwardly. "
"What if the prince is to be transferred to Lanruo Temple?"
Monk Yuan Fa slapped his forehead,
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Well, just posting a message is not enough, I think a real prince should be transferred here."
Everyone was in an uproar again.
Qingyun Qiqi Ai Ai tentatively said,
"I, I met five princes when I was in the palace.
But, but there is only one person who is as old as the prince, right? "
"Is one not enough?"
Qingyun rolled his eyes because of the scorn, brother, is this really stupid, or is he just pretending to be stupid?
"But if it is seen through, the second prince, he will be in danger!"
"You think big brother doesn't understand?"
Monk Yuan Fa glared at Qing Yun,
"The king of Wei was raised by me, how can I not know the character of his princes?
King Wei will not have any objection to this matter, and Yuan Ke will not object.
Regardless of whether or not the prince's remnant party can be wiped out in one fell swoop, as long as Yuan Ke can survive the catastrophe and escape completely, it will be beneficial to him without any harm.
So maybe they're both happy to see it happen?
It is easy to abolish a prince, but it is difficult to establish a prince.
Although the princes are small, they have their mother clan and staff behind them.
Although Mingli has not yet started to intrigue, the undercurrent must have already begun. "
The next day, the Little Dragon King rode back to Luoyang alone to make preparations for Yuan Ke's visit to Song Dynasty.
No matter whether it is climbing the back mountain or investigating the princelings, there is no clue at this time, and the rest of the people are left clean.
The two girls are going to go to the market in Goushi Town at the foot of the mountain, and Liu Ying also wants to act alone.
Qingyun grew up attached to Tiezhi, so he naturally followed his second elder brother, and went to the imperial room to play with Danding.
Ever since I got the crossbow machine blueprint jointly designed by my father and teacher, I have been studying and calculating in my spare time.
According to his judgment, the design range of this hand-held crossbow is more than five hundred steps, which is far better than that of bows and arrows.
At that time, the range of hand-held crossbows was only fifty steps, and the limit of strong bows could not exceed two hundred steps.
The bow and arrow follow a parabola. Because the arrow uses gravity, its lethality will not decrease with distance.
However, at the end of the crossbow, its power cannot penetrate Lu Jin, because the crossbow is a weapon that relies entirely on the elasticity of the bowstring to pursue the accuracy of straight-line shooting, and its power decays quickly with distance.
Therefore, unless it is a large bed crossbow, the range of the crossbow is far inferior to that of a bow and arrow.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The use and aiming of bows and arrows is very difficult. Predicting the trajectory of a parabola depends entirely on experience.
In history, Lu Bu shot a twig of the painted halberd within a hundred steps is already a miraculous bow and arrow performance.
However, the stability of the crossbow is very good, and the auxiliary facilities can be used to aim within the range, and the penetration within the effective range is also better than that of the bow.
Once the range of a crossbow can match that of a bow, it will immediately become a strategic weapon!
If any soldier with a crossbow machine has the ability to directly attack the enemy's general in the army, wouldn't the opponent's general have to hide behind the shield and dare not show his face?
So how does he give orders?
standard bearer?Snipe!
order?Snipe!
A team of snipers is enough to make an opposing army leaderless.
But when Tunzhi understood the drawings, he faced more problems.
Most inventions in ancient times were not stuck in conceptual design,
Even if there is no engine, no electric motor, water power, wind power, or even human power can be used.
What really hinders the progress of tools is often the material. There is no suitable material to complete the design and the strength required to complete the design.
Just like if there is modern steel casting technology, there is no need to worry that ancient man-made guns cannot be produced.
Where is our current hoisting machinery and hydraulic machinery better than ancient times?
It's just that the material gives a higher applicable load.
The same problem Takumi is facing now, what kind of string can provide such a large tension?
What kind of crossbow arm will not be destroyed by such tension?
What kind of person is needed to pull such a crossbowstring?
How can we reduce the weight of arrows without losing lethality?
As long as there is a short board in one material, the design can only stay on paper.
But now there is no one in Ji Zhi's hand, the only thing he can do is to complete the aiming device first according to Yuheng's method of peeking into the sky. Now that he has obtained Poli by accident, he should make the best use of it.
He didn't understand the characteristics of Poly.
Although tried and tested, the hardness of this material is suitable for sanding.
But sanding is the next choice for molding.
If you only rely on grinding, you may not be able to grind the iron pestle into a needle in this lifetime.
However, if the cutting process is abused, it is easy to cause the material to crack, leaving internal injuries, and it will be too late to discover it until the finished product is made.
Therefore, the best process for processing and forming is always fan casting.
If this material can be melted and softened and poured into the mold, all problems can be solved.
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties of China, the lost-wax method was used to make the molds, and the complex bronze vessels cast by today's engineers are amazed.
For example, the famous Zenghou Yizun plate, the fine bronze carvings make patients with dense pores unbearable.
As long as it can be modeled, Poli is a god.
Well, as it happens, this Polaris can be molded.
The Poli beads in the copper tripod continued to soften, and finally turned into a sticky substance like syrup.
The two eyebrows of Ji Zhi couldn't stop beating, that kind of excited emotion, even the power of the prehistoric could not be sealed.
At such moments, Qingyun is usually helpless.
He stared at the sweat-drenched ancestor Dianzhi by the fire with his shirt off, and silently poured a ladle of water on his body.
There are only a few glass beads in total, and they can't cover the bottom of a small copper tripod the size of an incense burner. Even if they are treasures, what can they do?
The autumn wind was rustling, and even when it was blown by the stove, it became a smoked wind, and Qingyun's eyelids became heavier and heavier.
He was holding a water ladle, drooping his shoulders, and his heavy eyelids made the mountains in the distance more and more blurred.
In his ignorance, Qingyun seemed to see a white-robed Taoist waving to him on the edge of the cliff.
He pointed to Shaoshi Mountain opposite and asked,
"It used to be the dojo of Emperor Zhongyue of my Taoism, but now it is occupied by the captives!
This young hero, would you like to accompany me to retake the sacred mountain and blessed land? "
Qingyun looked at the Cangcang distant mountain, the secluded empty valley, the soles of his feet felt weak,
"Although the boy has such a heart, what about the two peaks and the sky? I haven't had wings, how can I fly across?"
"What's so difficult about this?"
The Taoist waved his hand, and a pair of wooden wings spread out, about Zhang Xu wide.
"Young hero, take this wing, the old man can help you!"
Qingyun was caught by the Taoist like a chicken before he could be distinguished, and tied to the wooden wing skeleton. He kicked the Taoist with his buttocks, and then rushed straight towards the empty mountain and valley.
"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""
We talked about Australia in the previous document, and this time we will talk about America.
At this time, a judge said, you said that Australia is connected to the islands of the Asian road, that's all.The Americas and China are separated by vast oceans. Could there be a connection with China in ancient times?How advanced were the ocean-going level of the ancients?
Doubting the ancients is a classic argument that proves that people today are wiser than the ancients. For example, many experts "researched" that although the Soochow period could build large ships that could run horses on the deck, those tall ships were unstable and were all silver-like pewter guns. If you can't go to the ocean, it will fall apart when you go to sea.Therefore, Soochow ships do not have ocean-going capabilities.
But they ignored the fact that Sun Quan sent more than [-] troops to Liaodong to buy horses.When the news that the envoy of Wu was beheaded by Gongsun Yuan came back, Sun Biyan would have sent an army of [-] sailors to Liaodong if his ministers hadn't stopped him.
In fact, in the "Linhai Soil Chronicles" and "Nanzhou Foreign Object Chronicles" at the end of the Han Dynasty, it has been recorded that the Wu people could manufacture sea ships with four to seven sails that could carry hundreds of people. "Taiping Yulan Xuzhou" says: "Wu people use boats as horses, and huge seas as Yigeng (smooth way, see "Zuo Zhuan Chenggong 18th Year" and cover their land, Sai Yigeng, "Note" Yigeng , the main route between Wu and Jin.) Also." So at least during the Three Kingdoms period, the routes between China, Japan and South Korea were already very mature and regular routes.
The possibility of ocean-going America, if it is based on the success rate standard of modern shipping, it is naturally impossible.But in the face of the ancient sages' spirit of seeking knowledge and selflessness towards the unknown, with continuous attempts, ninety-nine losers will eventually be matched.For example, the Yue people may not have better ship technology than the Wu people, but the Austronesian people have been fighting against the sky and the sea as early as the Era.Under the influence of monsoons and ocean currents, even drifting is enough to carry floating objects across the ocean, let alone a sea-going ship powered by heavy sails? "Wu Shiwai Zhi" stated that a seven-masted ship could reach Daqin in less than a month, and the route from India to the Red Sea was actually about the same distance as going to America in a straight line.It’s just that the supply of the eastbound route is obviously not as good as that of the westbound route. The only technical difficulty is the survival of the full moon-about this point, we will elaborate in subsequent works of the series.
Our main discussion in this work is whether there were any Chinese who went to America before Columbus discovered the New World, or whether there were any Americans who went to China.At least according to the records in "Book of Liang", monk Huishen can definitely be included in the standard answer:
Fusang Kingdom, in the first year of Qi Yongyuan, its state-owned monk Huishen came to Jingzhou and said: "Fusang is in the Han Dynasty ("Liang Shu" says, the tattoo country is more than [-] miles northeast of the Wa Kingdom/about today's Scandinavia. Dahan The country is more than [-] miles east of Wenshen Country/about today's Alaska.) It is more than [-] miles east (so this Fusang country is more than [-] miles east of Alaska, and the location coincides), the land is in the east of China, and its soil is full of hibiscus trees , so it is named.” Hibiscus leaves are like tung trees, and they are born like bamboo shoots (the same is true for cactus, especially the agave in Mexico is a standard tung leaf-shaped cactus), and Chinese people eat it, and it is really like pears and red (what is cactus fruit? Dragon fruit, native to the Americas, is red like a pear, and its leaves are like a tung tree), its skin is made into cloth for clothing, and it is also considered cotton.Make a wooden house without a city wall.There are characters, and hibiscus skin is used as paper (dragon fruit skin can really be used to make paper). There are horns that are very long, and the horns are used to carry things (Texas longhorn? Native to North America), up to twenty dendrobium.Cars include horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and deer carts.People in the country raise deer, just like cattle in China, and use milk as butter.There are mulberry pears, which are not bad all year round (small pumpkins, eggplant type, native to the Americas). ... In their marriage, the son-in-law goes to build a house outside the daughter's house, and sweeps it every morning and evening. After years, if the daughter is displeased, he drives her away. If they are happy, they get married.The wedding is probably the same as in China.For the death of relatives, fast for seven days; for the death of grandparents, fast for five days; for brothers, uncles, aunts, and sisters, fast for three days. ... Its customs were old and there was no Buddhism. In the second year of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, five monks from the state of Gubin traveled to the country to circulate Buddhism, scriptures and images, and ordered them to become monks. The customs changed accordingly.
Huishen also said: "There is a country of women more than a thousand miles east of Fusang. They have good appearance, very white color (early European contact, Nordic people), hairy body, and long hair. In February and March, when they enter the water, they will be pregnant. , giving birth in June and July (this is a bit outrageous, is it a reference to the legend of the Chinese women's country?). Women have no breasts on their chests (is this the result of gender indiscrimination?), hair on the back of the neck, and white roots (at least from the description of body hair, yes The characteristics of the Nordic people have been grasped to the extreme), there is juice in the hair, and the milk can be done in a hundred days, and it will be an adult in three or four years. See people and avoid them, and they are afraid of their husbands. Eat salty grass (tobacco or coca , native to the Americas) are like animals. The salty grass leaves are like wormwood, and the smell is salty." In the sixth year of Tianjian, a Jin'an person crossed the sea (communication is no longer one-way), and was blown by the wind to an island, landed, Some people stop.Women are like China, with incomprehensible speech; men have human bodies and dog heads (shaman masks?), and their voices are like barking.It eats small beans (kidney beans? native to the Americas), and its clothes are like cloth.The soil is built as a wall, its shape is round, and its household is like a sinus (sinus is the door of the tomb, see the door type of Mayan architecture, such as the door of the Chinese tomb with a stone frame and stone door).
This "Book of Liang" describes a number of species unique to the New World.Readers, do your own research. This is the official history. Is it fabricated? Even if it is fabricated, how can you compile so many matching details?It does also mention a species that was introduced from Europe in the traditional western view of the Americas - cattle.However, the Great Exchange of Columbus is always a Western view of history. At least in Columbus’s logbook, it has been revealed that there are Asian chickens in America, rather than being introduced from Europe as in the Western view of history. ".
Then we come to the Texas longhorn, a species unique to the Americas with horns reaching several meters in length.If we have a shameless "Wiki", we will find that they are the first generation of "descendants" of cattle imported from Europe to the Americas, and they were first discovered in the [-]th century (this mutation is really fast! This shape is less than a century It was turned upside down), which was produced by the hybridization of eastern cattle (imported cattle from Europe) and Mexican wild cattle (what? Where did these cattle come from? Can you explain clearly?).Can you guess who this long horn is following?Did America have cattle before the arrival of Europeans?The author does not comment much here, and will continue to extend it later.
