At this moment, in Zhuo Bufan's eyes, Mu Liangzi completely lost the labels he subconsciously added, the labels of plaster flag, shining bayonet and Rendanhu. Suddenly, Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but be a little surprised that the unforgettable hatred was so deep-rooted. What happened to him? Didn't the tip of the knife that Mu Liangzi penetrated into his compatriot's chest just now explain everything? This result is exactly the best way of revenge that he hopes for, and he must use this method to completely and forever eliminate this oriental cancer in an upright manner.
Zhuo Bufan smiled happily and called softly: "If you are still Mu Liangzi, just jump over." []
In an instant, Mu Liangzi¡¯s eyes were moist, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time. He stepped lightly and landed on the bow of the boat like a flying blade.
Under the skillful control of Mu Liangzi, the small boat drifted into the distance with the help of the ocean current and the cover of the big boat. It escaped from the barrage area in a thrilling manner. Gradually, the white smoke and howling screams in the distance gradually faded away, faintly. It can be seen that several more large and small ships have joined the battle group. It is not known whether reinforcements or reinforcements have arrived. However, these have nothing to do with Zhuo Bufan for the time being.
Jingduan almost snatched the dry food and water that Mu Liangzi handed over, and wolfed down more than half of them. Zhuo Bufan and Mu Liangzi were stunned and didn't even have time to stop them. Zhuo Bufan suddenly thought of a question and asked quickly: "Liangzi, are there any more?" In his previous life, he had read many stories of drifting in the sea to survive, but Zhuo Bufan directly thought of his next livelihood.
Seeing Mu Liangzi shake his head, Zhuo Bufan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the dry food and leather water bottle, and directly stepped on the side of the boat with his feet, Jing Duan, who was still lingering.
"My princess, you have never lived a poor life. You don't care about your next meal. You are a waste of time." She said sadly while inspecting the few dry food left on hand.
"I, I'm hungry!" Jingduan was not aggrieved. He was not a cute baby, but he had never suffered like this. After being carried for several days and wandering around in the dark cabin for so long, one day There was no pause. I had never experienced this feeling of hunger and thirst before. I've been really suffering these past few days, and I'm really hungry.
"Hungry! Who isn't hungry? But this is the sea, not your backyard. Without food, even your emperor can only wait for death. Huh." Zhuo Bufan said angrily, looking at his hands carefully. The supply of dry food and water is more serious than imagined. I am afraid that not more than half of it is gone.
Unexpectedly, perhaps because of the mention of Jingduan's home, and the fact that these few mouthfuls of hard dry food did not solve the problem at all, Princess Jingduan got angry and shouted: "I don't care! I'm hungry! I'm thirsty! I want to eat, I want to drink!"
"Shut up!" Zhuo Bufan glared, which shocked Jingduan. This was the first time he was scolded like this. If you include Zhuo Bufan calling him an idiot when they first met, this would be the second time. For a moment, Jingduan was stunned by the scolding and wanted to be harsh, but when he saw Zhuo Bufan's angry eyes, he shuddered and softened.
Zhuo Bufan stopped paying attention to her, looked at Mu Liangzi, and said with some hope: "How far is it from Dahua?"
Mu Liangzi frowned and said, "It's very far. If we use this boat and the wind direction doesn't change, it will take about a month."
"Ah!", Zhuo Bufan and Jingduan shouted at the same time, and looked at the dry food in Zhuo Bufan's hands. Even if Jingduan didn't eat it, the dry food would be hard to survive for ten days, let alone a month. Mu Liangzi quickly explained: "If we go eastward, we can reach the shore in about three or four days."
"Xiangdong?" Zhuo Bufan looked at Mu Liangzi doubtfully and thought to himself, Xiangdong, isn't it true that when he arrived in Japan, he brought Jingduan with him who was unfamiliar with the place and had nothing to offer, so he was not at the mercy of others when he arrived in Japan. Doubts just arose in my heart, but I heard Mu Liangzi say: "To the east is Ryukyu, only three to five days."
Zhuo Bufan suddenly realized, he didn¡¯t expect to have come so far in the past few days, Ryukyu? Isn't that also a pain for China? Although it is not as unforgettable as the Far East, Zhuo Bufan, as a person with modern knowledge, naturally knows how important the first island chain, like a key, is to China's future. At the same time, he also knew that the oceans of this period were already dotted with warships of the great powers, and that China had now become an inland country with a long coastline. In fact, China's subsequent humiliation began at this time.
For a moment, Zhuo Bufan was in a trance. His mind had followed the waves and was placed on the endless ocean. There were too many things he wanted to do. In his trance, Zhuo Bufan felt the urgency of time and life for the first time. Helpless, this was the first time for him who had always been relaxed and free-spirited, and had once determined to live a happy life casually. Is this the case in life? There are always new dreams and hopes. Is this the helplessness of life or the driving force of life? Suddenly, Zhuo Bufan thought of that sentence again.??It sucks but it's interesting, life is like rape, if you can't resist it just try to enjoy it. What Zhuo Bufan thought was, why the hell do I want to rape my life? That¡¯s my character, wow.
Just as he was thinking about how to better deal with the important matter of rape, Zhuo Bufan felt a cautious resistance on the soles of his feet. Looking down, Jingduan's face turned red. He wanted to get angry but didn't dare, but she still refused. Being stepped on by his own foot, he was pinned pitifully on top of the boat.
¡°Well, Zhuo Bufan looked embarrassed, not because he forgot to step on the noble princess, but because his foot happened to step on the princess¡¯s chest. After discovering this, he felt that the sole of the foot was so soft and a little elastic. He quickly retracted his feet, but Zhuo Bufan did not apologize at all, and pulled Mu Liangzi to ask about Ryukyu. As for Jingduan, he was helpless when he saw Zhuo Bufan pretending that it had never happened. Could it be possible for a girl to shout, "Where did you step on someone else's?" The most hateful thing is that this bad thing clearly saw it, but he still moved his feet, as if he was feeling the feet. It was very hateful.
Mu Liangzi obviously seemed to be a different person. He seemed to have relaxed a lot. He was about to tell Zhuo Bufan something, but Zhuo Bufan waved his hand to stop him.
Zhuo Bufan sat at the stern of the boat and looked into Mu Liangzi's eyes. He didn't speak for a long time, which made Mu Liangzi feel a little uneasy. Mu Liangzi is supposed to be a person who has seen the world, but for some reason, whenever he faces Zhuo Bufan, he always feels a sense of awe in his heart. He used to feel in Shenlong Mountain, but now this feeling is even stronger. It seemed as if nothing in the world could be hidden from the young man in front of him, who was much younger than himself. His eyes, as if he could see through the world, made people naturally awed by his wisdom. It was strange, but that was how it felt.
After a long time, Zhuo Bufan finally said: "I know, you saved me just because you felt guilty." He waved his hand, Zhuo Bufan stopped Mu Liangzi who was eager to argue, and continued: "I don't doubt your loyalty. , but that is only limited to Jianghu morality, what I want is far more than that."
Looking at the confused Mu Liangzi, Zhuo Bufan said slowly: "Let me ask you, if I ordered you to become enemies of your clan and even kill your own compatriots, it would not be like today, but against Japan, or even in the face of your past. My master, the Tokugawa family, will you still hesitate as you do today?"
Mu Liangzi looked horrified. Facing the young general, his heart was once again filled with a sense of powerlessness. He was stunned for a long time and murmured: "Why, why are there always wars and killings? I have traveled across China for half my life, and I have seen many wars and hardships in my hometown. The same is true. The head of the Tokugawa family has not forgotten the great wealth and prosperity of the country. General, you also want to conquer Japan? Can't we live in peace and be friendly for generations?"
Zhuo Bufan smiled and did not answer this childish topic. Instead, he said as if it was irrelevant: "Liangzi, do you know how big this world is?". Without waiting for Mu Liangzi's reply, he continued: "This world is so far away." It¡¯s vaster than you think. Not to mention Japan, Dahua is just a small part of the world. The continent where Dahua and Japan are located is called Asia. Dahua goes westward thousands of miles across the desert next door. There is also a continent facing the sea to the west, that is Europe. There are many powerful countries there, and the Netherlands is just one of them. Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and France are all on that continent. They have advanced technology and even more powerful navigation. .With their sharp firearms and navigation skills, they colonized the world crazily, and many parts of the world have been occupied and divided by them."
Mu Liangzi listened carefully. Although he had heard some Western rumors, he had never heard of such a statement.
"They used cannons and giant ships to plunder the wealth of this world. If they resisted, they would be brutally suppressed and massacred. Today, there are only a few places left in the world that they have not set foot in, and that is here, in the east of the world. "Zhuo Bufan pointed at the boundless sea. Although he didn't know the direction, he just meant it.
"General, you mean, they want to conquer us? Aren't they all businessmen?" Mu Liangzi was still a little confused.
"Have you ever seen businessmen using gunboats?" Zhuo Bufan pointed to a plume of black smoke in the distant sky. It was the smoke from an unknown ship that was destroyed and burned in the battle just now. "If they can't carry out beneficial operations according to their hopes, trade, the next step will be their gunboats¡¯ turn. Both Japan and Dahua will face this outcome. By the way, the Tokugawa family of Japan issued a national lockdown order a few years ago, right? If what I expected is true, today The naval battle will probably be between the Dutch and the Spanish. Now Spain and the Netherlands are fighting for the right to trade with Japan. One day, those bandits wandering the ocean will march directly into Nagasaki and use cannon to make you surrender and Japan. It becomes another colony for them, and after that, it will be Dahua¡¯s turn.¡±
At this time, Mu Liangzi was completely shocked. As far as she knew, who was once a member of the Shenyin Camp, Zhuo Bufan had never been to sea.??Shenlongshan had never done any homework about Japan, but the mighty general in front of him seemed to know a lot about overseas affairs and Japan. It was really shocking to know the world affairs like this without leaving home.
"So, what should we do?" Mu Liangzi asked subconsciously.
Zhuo Bufan waved his hand and replied firmly: "If you want not to be slaughtered by others, you must strengthen yourself! Use our strength to tell them that Dahua and Japan are not lambs to be slaughtered by others! But to strengthen ourselves, we must face this imminent crisis. In a crisis, only the proletarians of the world, sorry for the slip of the tongue, are Dahua and Japan who must unite to create a strong future!"
Looking at Mu Liangzi who showed hope, Zhuo Bufan said word by word: "We must abandon all prejudices, dare to make any sacrifices, unite all forces that can be combined, and build an unprecedented and great nation.
