There's something wrong with this assassin

Chapter 719
Shang Jiuge was sitting on the mast of the boat, with the sea breeze blowing beside her.

The reason why she stands here is because Fang Bie told her that if she sits at the highest position possible, then it can be seen that the earth is actually round.

But Shang Jiuge looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see how the earth was round.

Just saw a lot of birds, and blowing a lot of wind.

The sea girl has long been tired of watching it. After all, no matter how beautiful the sea is, it will always be a bit unpleasant to watch the same scene for several days and nights.

And at this time, a voice sounded beside the girl: "So did you see it?"

"Where can you tell!" Shang Jiuge said angrily: "Obviously the sea is so flat, why do you say that the land is round?"

"About this question." Fang Bie smiled: "Did you see that lighthouse in the distance?"

"Lighthouse?" Shang Jiuge turned his head and looked around: "Where?"

In Shang Jiuge's field of vision, the existence of the lighthouse was indeed invisible.

"There." Fang Bie pointed to Shang Jiuge.

Following the direction Fang Bie pointed at, the girl saw a small dot in the distance.

That little dot doesn't look like a lighthouse at all.

"Is that the lighthouse?" Shang Jiuge asked.

"Of course it's a lighthouse." Fang Bie said seriously.

"Are you bullying me that I haven't seen the lighthouse?" Shang Jiuge asked.

"You really haven't seen a lighthouse in the distance on such a large curved surface." Fang Bie smiled.

"What you see now is the head of the lighthouse."

"Next, if the boat continues forward, you will see the body of the lighthouse and the thick base of the tower."

"Is that so?" Shang Jiuge hesitated.

"Why did you see the head of the lighthouse first?"

If the earth is an absolute plane, then the whole body of the tower must be visible at the same time.

"So the earth is actually a ball." Fang Bie said lightly: "We are moving slowly on a curved surface, so we can only see the most extreme things, just like looking at distant ships. Like a mast, when looking at a lighthouse in the distance, the spire must be the first thing you see.”

"So this is also an important value for the existence of lighthouses at night."

Shang Jiuge couldn't help nodding, she still understood such a simple truth.

However, the girl's eyes on Fang Bie changed significantly: "So you know so many things besides fighting."

"I know a lot more than you think, but most of them are useless." Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and said lightly.

Before Fang Bu could finish speaking, Shang Jiuge had already opened his mouth with bright eyes: "Then you said that the earth is a curved surface, so will the earth be completely round like an apple in the end?"

The girl made a bold guess.

Fang Bie nodded helplessly. He didn't expect Shang Jiuge to be so interested in the circle of the earth when he was so big: "Of course the earth is round."

"So if we start from one direction by boat, will we circle the earth and return to the origin?" Shang Jiuge continued to ask.

"Farewell, it's more expensive to do so, Captain, I've heard of a curse." Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and said.

"What curse?" the girl asked as expected.

"This curse is for everyone who wants to sail around the world. The captain will definitely die on the way." The young man said to Shang Jiuge seriously.

"That's it." Shang Jiuge nodded: "Then we don't want to be captains?"

"It must be very interesting to be able to walk around this land."

"You must prepare a lot of food. I heard that if you take a boat to go around the earth, it may take several years, but you want to prepare food that can be stored for several years in the harsh environment on the boat. Preservation is very difficult." Fang don't seriously veto the girl's whimsy from the place Shang Jiuge cares most about. After all, the girl walked down Huashan Mountain to see the sea. If you give her a chance, she will definitely be happy. Sailing around the world in a rush.

Although in fact, according to the real historical process, Magellan has been cold for decades at this time, but this is not a story that can quickly spread throughout the world.

"Do we need to prepare a lot of food?" Shang Jiuge tilted his head: "Should we just prepare water? Although the sea water is not drinkable, there are many edible fish in the sea water."

"Forget it, it's hard to explain the truth to you." Fang Bie decisively decided to change the subject: "By the way, do you know what it means for us to see the lighthouse now?"

Shang Jiuge shook his head: "I don't know."

"The lighthouse is built on land, and its most basic purpose is to prevent those night-going ships from crashing into islands or land and causing them to run aground or be broken directly." Fang Bie explained to Shang Jiuge solemnly, anyway, this Giving the girl a new topic from time to time can make her forget about the dangerous voyage around the world: "Then it is also obvious that the lighthouse needs a lot of construction materials and labor, and also needs a lot of flammable grease to keep the lighthouse alive in the dark. "

"So?" Shang Jiuge continued to ask.

For such common sense things, Shang Jiuge has always been lacking.

It seems that taking a boat was very strange and interesting to Shang Jiuge before, how did Shang Jiuge know what the lighthouse is for?
"Then no one would be so fraternal to build lighthouses on every cape island in the world, so that every ship that is lost can know its own position." Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and said, "Lighthouses are only in Areas of intensive human activity were established and vigorously maintained."

"But now that we see the lighthouse, it means that the land is not far away, and we will be able to see the land soon, and we are ready to land."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Shang Jiuge looked at Fang Bie and asked.

The two of them were sitting on the high mast at this time, so they were the first to see the lighthouse in the distance, but others would soon see it too.

"For us, of course it's a good thing. After such a long voyage, we finally arrived on land, and then we may not need to take a boat for a long time, so we don't have to pin our lives on On the mercy of the sea."

"But for the people on the shore, it's not a good thing." Fang Bie said.

"Why?" Shang Jiuge looked at Fang Bie, the girl's eyes were dark and bright.

But this time she was not so ignorant, but just waiting for Fang Bie's final answer.

"Because we have too many people." The young man also slowly gave Shang Jiuge his own answer.

Shang Jiuge looked back.

In front of her is the endless sea and the looming lighthouse on the sea, which means that the land is in front of her.

And behind her, there are countless ups and downs of sails, the sails of various colors are stretched in the sea breeze, just like countless ants crossing the river with leaves, but now, they are crossing the ocean.

"So what will happen when we get to shore?" Shang Jiuge asked.

"So many people probably have no other purpose other than war." Fang Bie said quietly: "Could it be that we came to ask them for a sports meeting?"

"What is a sports meeting?" Shang Jiuge discovered the slippage.

"The sports meeting is a meeting for everyone to exercise together." The young man looked at Shang Jiuge and said, "Have you heard of the Olympics? Forget it, the Olympics have been suspended for thousands of years, so you must not have heard of them. A very interesting thing, if there is a sports meeting in the future, I will apply for a fencing event for you."

"Ah?" Shang Jiuge felt that Fang Bie's words were full of half-understood things, and he probably understood that the young man had fallen ill again.

"In short, since we are not here for the sports meeting, it must be a war." Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and said the final conclusion slowly.

Shang Jiuge nodded quietly: "So Oda Nobunaga will continue to fight when he becomes the boss?"

In the past year, Oda Nobunaga, with the help of Yan Yu and the emperor's acquiescence, has successively defeated most of the daimyos in Huairou, and was finally received by the emperor himself and named the new general of Dongpu.

And after the entire Japan was roughly unified, these large numbers of soldiers who had not been consumed became a new problem.

Because a serious problem faced by Oda Nobunaga is that not all the surrendered daimyos surrendered until they were disabled, but because Oda Nobunaga had mastered righteousness and the strongest army, he surrounded him several times Wangdu was quickly defeated, and what was even more frightening was that many of the hostile daimyos were assassinated inexplicably, and the assassination actions against Oda Nobunaga all came to nothing. Oda Nobunaga had the greatest military advantage, the Emperor Under the triple premise of His Majesty's close to public support and terrifying assassination capabilities, Japan will be unified at this almost unbelievable magical speed.

But—without the consumption of war, it is very impossible to think about these daimyo who want to disband their troops obediently and carry out a large-scale reduction of the vassal, or to say that Ma Fang Nanshan was disarmed and returned to the fields to cast swords for plows and return to peace. .

And so this led to the formation of the expedition.

On the one hand, the overall strength of Japan has been greatly enhanced because of the unification, but the inertia of the huge military accumulation brought about by the Warring States Period is still continuing. Therefore, under Yan Yu's proposal, the expedition to Goryeo has become a matter of course. .

After all, war represents great military exploits, and the plundered land can be used to reward new heroes. What's more, after the baptism of the Warring States Period in the Eastern Kingdoms, all the self-proclaimed military gods are extremely inflated, and they hope to be able to rush out This little island bared its fangs to the whole world.

In the face of Oda Nobunaga's proposal to attack Goryeo, almost no one rejected it, and even said that they would strive to be the first.

So this led to the achievement of this expedition.

The number of vanguard troops has reached 15, and the follow-up troop replenishment will reach 20. This total of [-] troops is taken out by Japan, which is traditionally considered a small country, and it can really almost shock the whole world. power of the world.

"No matter who becomes the boss, he must always consider the interests of those under him." Fang Bie said indifferently: "Also, this expedition, whether it actually wins or loses, is acceptable to Oda Nobunaga."

"What does this mean?" Shang Jiuge asked: "If he wins, Oda Nobunaga will definitely gain a lot of prestige, but if he loses, it will also damage his strength."

Because Shang Jiuge at least maintained a simple dialectical thinking.

"The reason is this." Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and said lightly: "But in practice, if Oda Nobunaga knows that this is a very dangerous war, he will let his most elite troops and allies Consumed with such fearlessness?"

"No." Shang Jiuge thought about the man. The man looked so lawless, but in fact he was extremely shrewd.

Just like that day in the barrel, under such an absolute advantage, he still chose a solution that could preserve the most strength.

"So what can we get?" Shang Jiuge looked at Fang Bie: "We have been in Dongying for more than a year, and finally helped that Oda Nobunaga become the boss of Dongying, and now Oda Nobunaga is going to send With so many troops coming to attack Goryeo, is war our goal?"

"War is never the end." Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and smiled: "War is always the means."

"You have to know that Goryeo is a vassal state of China for generations, a vassal among vassals."

"Although it is not that Shenzhou itself was attacked by Oda Nobunaga, under the premise that Koryo is unable to resist this aggression, it will definitely ask Shenzhou for help."

"There is no way for Shenzhou to refuse this kind of request. After all, as a country in the celestial dynasty, how can it be impossible to keep its own tributary country? This is a fate, do you know?" Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and said solemnly.

"Destiny lost?" Shang Jiuge asked.

"Don't worry about it!" Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge: "Do you want to go back to Shenzhou and see Xue Ling and the others quickly?"

"Think!" Shang Jiuge said loudly.

It is indeed very similar. After all, I eat Japanese food every day. Even if I just eat it, it tastes good, but I really feel a little uncomfortable after eating too much.

"That's right. What we have to do is to take the chest out of the fire and instigate this national war to finally obtain the benefits we deserve."

"As for the interests, I can't mention it to you now, but as the matter develops further, everything should have the final answer in front of you."

"You guys are doing troublesome things again." Shang Jiuge sighed: "Is there anything that can't be solved by fighting?"

"Why bother?"

"Because there are many things that can't be solved by fighting." Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and said quietly.

At this moment, a huge shout came from below them.

"We saw it."

"land."

"There's land ahead."

"Prepare for battle!"
