[Regarding everyone’s question: If the plot wants to develop, it is inevitable that there must be some ‘reason’. You can’t just fight at the beginning, then continue to fight, and finally rush through the whole story without any reason.
If you just want to read a book that is random and has no reason, then Tianya can only say: this book may disappoint you.】
In the end, Zhang Hao and Hu Yinglan followed the guards to the scene. There was also a palace guard from the Kingdom of Qixia trapped in the middle by several princes. On the ground, the prince of the Kingdom of Zhongshan fell in a pool of blood, with his head separated.
The long sword used as the murder weapon is a standard long sword of the Imperial Palace of Qixia Kingdom, but the weapons on the guards are all there.
Seeing Zhang Hao and Hu Yinglan arriving, Yan Xiao, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Yanyun, immediately sneered: "Oh, why didn't the queen come? Could it be that she didn't dare to come?"
Zhang Hao stopped Hu Yinglan's anger and looked around. What he saw were the gloating expressions of several princes, but on the surface, each of them seemed to have a little specious anger. The wise men around the princes also maintained mysterious smiles.
Only Qin Shaoxuan, the prince's young master from the Kingdom of Danyang, squatted beside the prince's body and said nothing.
Zhang Hao came to Qin Shaoxuan and said, "Qin Shaoxuan, did you see who killed His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Qin Shao
They killed.
Finally, we let the guard go back to report the news."
Zhang Hao asked the guard again. The guard said that when he came here, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Zhongshan had already separated his body and head. Next to him was the standard long sword of the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Qixia.
The guard thought that this must be a frame-up, so he wanted to hide the sword. But at this moment, the princes from various countries around him 'suddenly appeared in order'! Then everyone accused the guard of killing the prince, and they all had the sword in their hands.
There's a murder weapon!
After that, Qin Shaoxuan let one of his guards go and went back to report the news.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and understood the outline of the matter in his heart. He was afraid that Qin Shaoxuan had just left, and the other princes would have taken action together. It happened that Liu Xinyu arranged for guards to come over to protect the prince of Zhongshan Kingdom, but they were framed.
The main reason was that the timing... was such a coincidence. Of course, neither Liu Xinyu nor Zhang Hao expected that these princes would be so ruthless and complete such a vicious plan in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly understood why everyone did not think highly of the queen because women were always a little soft-hearted. All Liu Xinyu's actions, including killing her own brother, were driven to a dead end. But these princes were not.
Just because the prince of Zhongshan Kingdom made an inappropriate decision, they wanted to kill and silence him, and frame him for the blame!
Perhaps anyone with a discerning eye will understand that this is a frame-up. But the most important thing is that the crown prince of the Danyang Kingdom came to visit at the invitation of the Qixia Kingdom, but ended up dying here! This is the biggest problem.
The prince of a country died here, and he was so full of words that he couldn't explain it. Not to mention that there were other princes from other countries who were adding fuel to the fire.
It is conceivable that after these princes return to their countries, other countries will definitely accuse the country of Qixia of being unkind and unjust, and use this to isolate the country of Qixia, and even... send troops!
Zhang Hao really wanted to say, before the matter is investigated clearly, please stay with us for the time being. But after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. If he did this, the Qixia Kingdom would be under huge pressure, and there might be something else.
The prince died unexpectedly. At that time, things were really out of control.
At this time, Zhang Hao even vaguely blamed the guard: Why are you so enthusiastic! If in another world, everyone would stand far away to avoid falling into the crime scene, and then fight Yao Yao Zero.
.
This is really...all caused by passion!
But forget it, the enthusiasm is right, Zhang Hao has no right to blame this guard because he is not directly under Zhang Hao. Now Zhang Hao also understands the situation, and forget about being reasonable. In politics, there are only victory and defeat, there is no reason.
All means are only for victory; and as long as victory is achieved, no one cares about the means as long as they are controlled within a reasonable range.
And the rise of any country cannot avoid this kind of political confrontation. You may hate it, but the enemy will not stop because of it. Conspiracies and tricks are wrong, but they cannot be eliminated!
So Zhang Hao thought for a long time, but finally said nothing. Finally, he had to say to the princes of various countries: "We will investigate this matter clearly. If you want to leave, you can leave now. But please pay attention to safety, especially those around you.
If you don't have enough protection, be careful if the knife comes from behind.
Farewell."
After that, Zhang Hao left with two guards and Hu Yinglan. As for the body... Zhang Hao was not going to deal with it. What does it mean to intervene in the body now? Therefore, Zhang Hao did not deal with the body directly, nor did he
If you say anything sympathetic at this time, you are just asking for trouble.
However, after this incident, Zhang Hao's thoughts completely changed. At one time, Zhang Hao also wanted to at least lead the Western countries to develop together, and try his best to achieve unification in a peaceful environment and in a gentler way.
But now Zhang Hao has changed his mind. If you want to break this strange political environment, diplomacy and other things are powerless. There is only... war!
I wanted to avoid war as much as possible, but it seems that change still needs war to promote change.
Zhang Hao didn't say anything because he had nothing to say. No wonder Liu Xinyu didn't come over, because Liu Xinyu knew this outcome better.
…………
The exhibition ended quietly, and the New Year came. But this New Year, there is no joy in the country of Qixia.
On the first day of the new year, Zhang Hao stood on the beach and looked at the first snow that came into the world. The snow fell heavily, but it was melted by the rough green sea of death.
In the port, more than two thousand sailors on two steel battleships are training in the cold sea wind and sea water. The Zhiyuan battleship has replaced its armor, artillery, and repaired its formation.
It will be an arduous journey across the Green Sea of Death to find the western coast of the Great Earth Continent. Calculated based on the scale of the terrain, the shortest voyage would be tens of thousands of kilometers. However, based on the experience of several previous voyages,
It can be seen that the geomorphology is not accurate.
Also, when at sea, it is impossible for a ship to move straight forward without satellite navigation. The ideal forward route should be a wave-shaped route. Navigate, make mistakes, correct, and sail again. The ship also needs to fight against waves, strong winds, monsters...
In the season when the sky was covered with snow, Dugu Junjie roared and took the lead to jump into the cold sea water. More than two thousand people roared and jumped into the cold sea water without any use of true energy to protect their bodies.
Then he swam a thousand meters from the sea, climbed onto the swaying wooden boat, and swayed in the wind and snow.
This training has been going on for five days. No one has any complaints.
Taking advantage of the last incident, Zhang Hao took the opportunity to clean up the Dayang Group and clean up a group of small shareholders who were unstable and even cheated. The stocks he cleared were being counted and prepared for issuance to the market.
This part of the stock accounts for about 1% of the overall shares of Dayang Group. According to Zhang Hao's plan, these stocks will be split into many small shares according to the influence of Dayang Group, with an initial issuance price of one yuan per share. However, it is still available for the time being.
Without implementation, the current environment is not very good.
The top priority calls for a victory, and this victory needs to be obtained from the sea!
Zhang Hao stood in the heavy snow for a long time, until the snowflakes on his shoulders melted and then froze again.
Zhao Dahe came to Zhang Hao. This expert at the peak of Nascent Soul respectfully and excitedly handed over an answer sheet.
Zhang Hao took it over and looked at it. This is the data that Zhao Dahe has re-checked on the starry sky in the past few days. It uses the mathematical knowledge within the Zhang family. It includes new concepts such as numbers, angles, and time.
For example, the relationship between Polaris and the horizon, the elevation angle change between the observer and time, etc. are listed separately.
With this data, anyone with a little knowledge of astronomy can navigate according to the map.
The most important thing is that for the first time on this answer sheet, the star map is 'curled'. The star map wraps a circular earth in the form of a half circle.
Through complex calculations, which should be relatively accurate for the time being, Zhao Dahe actually calculated for the first time the approximate diameter of the earth, which is 126,000 kilometers!
These were calculated by Zhao Dahe after sorting out all the data, mainly all the data observed by the sect in the past. Of course, this also benefited from Zhang Hao's recent guidance from time to time.
The calculation process was very complicated. Zhao Dahe was a professional astrologer after all, and some professional knowledge was beyond doubt. The astrologer industry relied heavily on mathematics and arithmetic. However, Zhang Hao looked at the calculation results directly and found that it was indeed a planet.
Moreover, according to Zhao Dahe's calculations, the range displayed by the Earth's surface is only about one-tenth of the surface area of the planet.
After returning the answer sheet to Zhao Dahe, Zhang Hao shook off the ice and snow on his body and said, "Don't spread this result. We just want to know it internally. Besides, if you tell me now, others won't believe it."
"Understood!" Zhao Dahe collected the answer sheet, his expression still excited. He had reason to be excited. From this moment on, astrology is no longer about telling people's fortunes, but... mapping the earth and observing the starry sky!
Zhao Dahe looked up at the sky. Although he could not see the sun at this time, he murmured to himself: "Next, I will try to calculate how far away the sun and moon are from us. In this way, we can roughly estimate
The size of the sun and moon. In this way, we will also have a general understanding of the stars in the sky."
Zhang Hao looked at the sailors roaring in training in the distance, nodded and said: "Work hard! Your name will be engraved in the future world!"
Zhao Dahe suddenly approached Zhang Hao: "Master, tell me quietly, why are we suspended in the void, and what is the force that binds us to the earth and cannot fall down? I still can't believe it, our world is actually like this
It’s a star…well, it should be said to be a planet!”
Zhang Hao shook his head with a smile, "Sorry, I really don't know. I just made some ridiculous guesses before."
Then Zhang Hao looked at the heavy snow in the sky, which was getting heavier and heavier, just like the current situation in Qixia Country.
But the way Zhao Dahe looked at Zhang Hao was full of...suspiciousness.
