1840Indian rebirth

After the military training is over, the soldiers still have cultural classes to attend at night, and the main lecturers for the soldiers are war shamans.

Each Bai has two war shamans, who are teachers, military doctors, and missionaries of the Spiritual Enlightenment Sect.

"Spiritual Edict" is something they must carry with them at all times. It is a thin book with less than 100,000 words. It can be easily carried in your arms and read and preached at any time. This is their teaching material and also their spirit.

food.

In fact, many people cannot stop reading this book, not just shamans, but anyone who can read it fluently.

Not only because of the ideas it expounds, but more importantly because of the series of stories it tells.

Ma Shao introduced a concept similar to "parallel worlds" into the worldview of Lingyun Cult, and based on this, grafted many classic stories from later generations.

For example, the caesarean section fans of "Let the Bullets Fly", such as the novel "The Wandering Earth"... Of course, he definitely did not copy it directly, but adapted it and wrote it into the scriptures, otherwise it would be too inconsistent.

In addition to stories, there are also some jokes with rich meanings in the book, such as "Yes, Minister" and "Soviet Joke".

With these contents, even people who have no interest in religion or science will read "Spiritual Instructions" with gusto.

And for those who are eager for knowledge, the connotation of "Lingyu" is even richer.

Basic scientific knowledge is not mentioned.

The most crazy thing is that there is a chapter in the book called "Holy Questions", which covers some problems raised by Ma Shao that no one can solve, mainly mathematical problems, such as: Goldbach's conjecture, Riemann's conjecture, twin prime numbers

Guess, four-color guess...

That’s right, Ma Shao is plagiarizing Hilbert’s Twenty-Three Questions!

Of course, he didn't copy everything, and it wouldn't be appropriate to raise some advanced conjectures now.

Goldbach guessed that he also wrote in this conjecture that had already appeared, but added the sentence "I heard" in front of it.

In addition to mathematics, there are also problems related to physics, chemistry, politics, history and geography. They are all difficult problems of similar level, many of which no one has been able to solve in the 21st century.

In this way, Ma Shao raised a total of thirty-six questions and claimed that as long as anyone solved one, he would be willing to be called a teacher - sincerely.

At present, "The Holy Inquiry" has an English version and is slowly spreading in Clark Town, but there are not yet people who are good enough to fully understand the "Holy Inquiry".

Not to mention a small town, looking at the entire world, there are very few people who can fully understand the meaning of these thirty-six unique problems.

As for the solution, it is even more impossible.

Ma Shao can completely imagine how a top scientist felt when he read "Holy Questions".

War shamans hold "spiritual instructions" and spread ideas among the troops.

Other shamans are doing similar work, such as two shamans at the Clark Township Health Center and a public elementary school.

Another example is the more than 900 captives who, in addition to undergoing labor reform, also received the earnest teachings of the shamans.

Prisoner's reform camp.

More than 900 prisoners gathered around several bonfires and listened to the shaman telling them the "Spiritual Instructions". Many of them were fascinated by what they heard.

It's getting late.

"That's it for tonight's compulsory courses." The shamans said, "The next are elective courses. Those who don't want to learn can take a rest."

Most of the prisoners dispersed one after another and went back to their rooms to rest. It wasn't that they didn't want to attend the lecture, it was just that time did not allow it.

If they choose to take elective courses, they will inevitably have insufficient sleep time, and they have to work during the day. In order to avoid being punished, they can only go to bed early.

There are also a small number of people who choose to take elective courses, only a few dozen people.

The overseer ordered them to gather together several dim bonfires and raise a large, vigorous bonfire so that the course could continue.

They used shovels to scoop up the burning wood and moved it to the same place, sometimes talking to the people around them.

"Eagle Eye, why do you have to take elective courses?" An Arapaho man looked at the young companion beside him who was shoveling firewood.

"I figured it out." Hawkeye said.

"What figured it out?"

"A lot." Hawkeye lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, then continued, "First of all, I decided to learn the language and writing of Apache as soon as possible, at least like you, Smoke."

The Arapaho man known as Smoke smiled and said, "I can't say I learned the Apache language."

Eagle Eye: "You have a thousand words, your salary is doubled, you can work two hours less every day, you can have one day off every week, and your sentence is only four years."

"I have some foundation." Neng Yan said, "Thanks to my second wife, she was a woman my uncle snatched from the Apache."

Then he changed the topic: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning when you take elective courses? Or you may fall asleep while working."

Eagle Eye: "So what, it's just scolding, salary deduction, at most leapfrog and push-ups. Even if all my salary for this month is deducted, as long as I can pass next month's exam, my salary will be doubled, and my salary will be doubled soon.

Earn it back."

"Indeed." Neng Yan nodded.

"And..." Hawkeye hesitated for a while, "And I think there is nothing wrong with learning the Apache language. At least, the Apaches in Sleeping Bear City are so different. They are warm, kind, and wise.

We prisoners were treated with a lot of rules and morals unlike anyone I've ever seen."

Nong Yan didn't say anything for a while, shoveling the last burning wood onto the bonfire, handing over the shovel, and then sat down around the bonfire.

"Actually, it's far more than just being different." He finally said, "If you listen to more shamanic lessons, or even read part of the Spiritual Instructions yourself, you will feel that the crow's words are by no means false."

"You mean..."

The smoke sighed: "Apache's son of the sky will surely impress everyone. A year ago, I didn't believe it when the crow said this, but now, I may understand the meaning of this sentence better than the crow."

"I have seen our future," he said slowly. "We will all become Apaches."

…

The last day of December.

The horse whistler was wearing a cowhide coat and sitting in the chief's hall reading a newspaper.

Compared with the beginning, the newspapers he buys now are more diverse, no longer just the three most famous ones, but he also buys many lesser-known newspapers, as well as some books.

So he can get more information.

However, there is also some information that has nothing to do with newspapers, such as the one he is seeing now.

"The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it refused to meet with U.S. Special Envoy John Slidell and refused all negotiations."

There is also a comment in the newspaper: "The fragile Herrera government does not dare to meet with Slidell. President Herrera knows that as long as he negotiates with the United States, even if he just discusses what to have for lunch, he will be dismissed by domestic

Dissatisfied and driven out of the presidential palace..."

Mashao looked at the news, thought for a while, and finally asked Rainy Day: "It's time to talk about the problem in Mexico. We have to have a meeting."
