Chapter 1348 White Tiger
The north of the Kingdom of Alan is mountainous, the south is also mountainous, and the plains in the middle of the island are full of lakes and swamps.

At the end of the endless plain, the white tiger is wearing a strange costume. Rubber boots are connected to the trousers, and the upper body is hung behind the neck with a rope until the upper body.

A hole was cut on the right waist of his rubber boots and trousers, and the handle of a pistol protruded from it. He was leading a huge English war horse. Hanging a spear only nine feet long, he walked on the muddy field with one foot deep and the other shallow.

Following behind the white tiger was Alan Wang Zhu Xiaoen, who didn't wear that funny clothes.

Clothes made of rubber were very popular among the upper class in England and Europe 30 or [-] years ago. The Spanish merchants who saw the New World for the first time tried to bring back all the valuable things. The bones of the residents are valuable, and they will not hesitate to knock the bones and suck the marrow.

Before the Spaniards could enslave most of the aborigines in the New World, many people were happy to exchange glass balls for the rubber bouncy balls in the hands of the aborigines, and made rubber into everything they could.

But these strange things have not been popular for too long. They will melt when they are hot, and they will crack when they are cold. They have little practical value.

Therefore, even if the white tiger said that his rubber boots and trousers were new magical items from Marshal Chen in Yazhou, Zhu Xiaoen couldn't get Zhu Xiaoen to put them on the armor.

It was only fifty or sixty miles away from the battlefield, and the conscript army of the Restoration Army and the Alan feudal nobles were gathering outside the barbed wire fence not far behind them, preparing to gather strength to launch another attack on Dublin.

If the white tiger hadn't approached him in the camp, saying that he had the idea of ​​solving the food and grass needed by the army to besiege the strong city of Dublin, Zhu Xiaoen wouldn't have run to this marshy field that had been dug ravines and ravines.

This is a field rich in peat, which can be found in almost every place on the island, but there is a lot of it in the middle of the island. Every poor and poor people in Alan cannot do without it from childhood to adulthood.

Like nettle soup, nothing out of the ordinary.

What's more, what do these things have to do with his kingdom?Since he was appointed King of Alan by the emperor, and the Minister of the East trained the Restoration Army for him, these things just happened to be buried under the land of Alan Island, and they did not belong to this small kingdom.

In fact, Zhu Xiaoen has been forcing himself to be a good king, to live up to the great trust of the emperor, to use the power of the Restoration Army to unify the mountains and rivers, to fulfill the promise of crossing the ocean, to lead the country of Ailan to modern times, and to build it into a small European country. Ming dynasty.

Because it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

He has extraordinary courage and unrivaled faith. He was able to find a man who could travel thousands of miles across the sea to ask for help from Daming, and he worked hard for several years to bring back the Alan Restoration Army and Daming's reinforcements. too difficult.

This is the hometown where he was born and raised. There is a saying in Daming that a dog will not choose a poor family, and a son will never dislike his mother's ugliness.

Zhu Xiaoen has an unforgettable nostalgia for this land, but apart from driving away the English and establishing a complete Alan Kingdom, there is hardly anything he can be interested in here.

On the road following the white tiger along the road where the workers excavated peat to the production area, Zhu Xiaoen, who was wearing a python robe on horseback and an imperial armor, said with emotion: "Look at this, my kingdom, tiger, you have been to Daming Is it? I don’t think you have been there, otherwise you wouldn’t have the heart to work hard in my kingdom.”

The white tiger with the Ming-style iron hat with the chief's feathers on its head paused for a moment, without stopping, turned its head slightly and asked, "Why?"

"If you haven't been there, you won't understand."

Zhu Xiaoen's figure was ups and downs with the bumps of the horse's back, his eyes gradually lost focus, and he slowly shook his head with a feeling of silence, and said slowly: "There is a country in this world, you go, live there day and night, Even if you only live there for an hour, no matter how far you go in the future, you will never forget it for the rest of your life."

"No matter where you are, you will recall the hustle and bustle and the loneliness."

The white tiger who was walking in front turned his head back and then quickly turned around. He also shook his head slightly with a smile. He smiled not because of what King Alan said, but because of the way he spoke. This way of speaking made all the smart white horses Little Chief discovers a secret.

Everyone knows that King Alan lived in Daming for several years, but no one knows what kind of life King Alan lived in Daming. At least now the white tiger guesses: King Alan may have read many books during those years in Daming, but Haven't spoken to many people.

At the beginning, Baihuo was forced by his father Bai Tao to speak like this when he was studying with a teacher who used to be a farmer in Shandong. Later, when he was able to communicate with immigrants in China normally, his way of speaking naturally changed.

Normal people organize language in this way when they write.

Of course, the same is true of old scholars who have studied for a lifetime. Their lack of talent can only be made up for by extraordinary hard work, and they rarely talk to others.

Normal people don't chat like this.

He casually said with a smile: "My lord, is Daming that good?"

The white tiger's words made Zhu Xiaoen on the horse's back hold the reins in a daze for a moment, and he said not quite sure: "Da Ming, Da Ming is not all good."

"The streets of the capital are too noisy and crowded. The loud peddler's yelling can be heard. Thieves have stolen my money, and merchants have cheated me of my money. Soldiers are quite barbaric, and women are the most snobbish."

"The women in Daming are extremely beautiful, and I don't know about Ailan's situation after living here for several years. This king also thought about marrying another family. Who would have thought that after so many years, he could not find a woman."

"Women from good families avoid people from my humble country. The worst thing is the brothel girls who lean on the door and sell their laughter. If they are ordinary students who are rushing to take exams, they will match their pillows and mats. Ten times the money, it is hard to find willing people.”

"I said that I am Zhu Xiaoen, who was given the surname by the emperor, but they still call me Liu Tang in private."

"It took me several years to find out by accident that they called me a red-haired ghost."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xiaoen didn't mean to be angry, but instead laughed at the white tiger and said, "If I were like you, they might not call me Liu Tang, but Li Kui instead."

Seeing more and more people working in the field swamp, Zhu Xiaoen stopped the topic with a smile, and said, "If you have a chance, you should go to Daming to have a look. Different people see Daming differently. You will know when you go there." , you will be like me, wishing to fly back with wings."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not make me the King of the White Horse. I have always wanted to visit the capital, but I cannot be the son of such a remote chieftain."

The white tiger's goal was very clear. He pointed at the peat piles piled up by the people around him who were working to dry, and stretched his arms at Zhu Xiaoen, saying: "When I decide to enter the capital, I will be the richest millionaire in Asia. tiger!"

　Good morning! Chapter 2 will be posted at night, and I will catch up on sleep later.
