1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 212 [Sky and Ocean] Finale
(Chapter 211 is blocked) "What happened?" Napoleon III couldn't help asking when he noticed that the horse whistle seemed to be showing a nervous look for the first time.

Ma Shao took a deep breath and handed the message to Napoleon III: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't witness you becoming the president of France with my own eyes."

Napoleon III read the message, was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

"Thank you for your help during this time. When I become president, France will immediately condemn the shameless actions of the Americans and provide necessary assistance to Apache."

"Good luck, my friend." He shook Whistle's hand in good-bye.

Then the horse sentry left in a hurry, and took his men on the way back to Apache.

Of course, before officially returning to America, he had to go to London to meet the King of England again.

At Buckingham Palace, the Whistle learned more about the Apache Wars, some of which took him by surprise.

For example, strictly speaking, in the first wave of American offensive, Apache not only successfully resisted, but also completed a beautiful counterattack.

The U.S. military suffered huge casualties, and finally failed. The Apache War has thus become the worst Indian war that the United States has ever experienced, even worse than the Seminole War.

"The Americans are a little careless. Their attack ended in complete failure. Even the commander was captured alive by you, which makes me feel happy." Prince Albert smiled, "However, it must be admitted that the strength and growth rate of Sleeping Bear City It exceeded everyone's expectations."

"Especially those cannons, the Americans probably never thought that one day they would have Apache shells above their heads."

He paused: "Actually, I don't think you even need to go back in a hurry. Maybe you can get a good result through the British diplomatic channels."

Ma Shuo thought for a moment: "I still can't rest assured that Polk is a very aggressive American president. A failure may only make him organize more troops for the next attack."

"Indeed, Polk is a difficult guy." Prince Albert nodded, "So you plan to return to Apache immediately?"

"No, I'm going to Washington." Ma Whistle said surprisingly.

"Washington?" Prince Albert was slightly taken aback. "You want to negotiate with Polk yourself?"

"Yes." Horse whistle bowed his head.

Prince Albert stared at him for a while: "Tell me about your plan."

Horse sentry: "If the negotiations go well, my tribe will join the United States as the Apache state and gain a chance for long-term peaceful development."

"For you, this is indeed a wise choice." Prince Albert nodded and asked again, "And then?"

The horse whistle was silent for a moment: "Then, I hope that America can return to its real master."

Prince Albert smiled and said nothing.

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

Prince Albert spoke again: "If you really decide to go to Washington, I will ask the US government to guarantee your personal safety during the visit."

Ma Whistle: "I've already decided."

Prince Albert nodded: "Okay then, bravest knight in Britain, I wish you all the best."

The next day.

In the name of Queen Victoria, the horse post is about to board a ship bound for the Atlantic.

Most of the people on board were British, including several diplomats from the British government.

There were only two Apaches traveling with the horse post, and the other Apaches either stayed in England, or went to California with the warship first.

When boarding the ship, many people saw him off at the pier, General Fitzroy, Darwin, Dickens, Kelvin...

Horse Whistle said goodbye to his friends one by one, and when he said goodbye to Kelvin, he suddenly said: "Thomson, I suggest you go to Cambridge to teach."

"Why?" Kelvin was taken aback.

Ma Shao: "I know you have a special liking for the University of Glasgow, but Cambridge has a wider world, and the Department of Physics is planning to build a laboratory. You may like this work."

Kelvin smiled: "I know, this is your proposal to build a high-standard physics laboratory. But except for you, most people probably don't even know what a 'high-standard physics laboratory' is, and you Not wanting to do it yourself, it's obviously a messy job."

Horse Whistle: "If you don't have a clue, you can learn about Cavendish's legacy. As far as I know, his descendants have preserved a large number of his manuscripts. And the Cavendish family is generous, and you may still get their sponsorship."

Cavendish is a great experimental physicist, but due to his withdrawn nature and not lacking in fame and fortune, many of his researches during his lifetime were not published, and he ate ashes in the corner for decades in the form of manuscripts.

Although these forgotten manuscripts are some years old, if they can be found, the progress of physics will not be without benefits.

Kelvin was the scientist most plagiarized by the horse whistle, and the horse whistle wanted to make up for him, so he told him the treasure.

"Well, I will visit them when I have time." Kelvin nodded.

"By the way, Horse Whistle, I have a question I've been meaning to ask you." He seemed to have remembered something.

"what is the problem?"

Confusion was written on Kelvin's face: "Why do you call me 'Kelvin' a few times? Even though I like the river, it still sounds weird."

Horse Whistle was a little embarrassed: "Well... Maybe it's because I think you are very similar to that river."

"?" Kelvin was even more inexplicable.

"You are as brilliant as that river." Ma Shao added, "You know, people's associative memory is sometimes very strange, it just connects two unrelated things together."

Kelvin shrugged: "Okay, thank you for your compliment, although I still find it strange... But from what you've said, the nickname 'Kelvin' doesn't seem too bad."

"Goodbye, Kelvin." Through a lame reason, the horse whistle can finally call him by this name.

"Goodbye, my friend." The two hugged and parted.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the sailboat slowly left the port and finally disappeared from people's sight.

What people don't think of is.

The boat that Ma Shao was on had lost contact, and there was no news for a long time, not for a month, not for two months, not for three months...

a year without...

Not for two years...

Three years and still no...

Apparently the ship had had an accident in the Atlantic—wrecked.

For sailing, such accidents are not uncommon. Many people regret and mourn, and can only pray that the horse post is still alive.

After all, the Atlantic Ocean is 8000 million square kilometers, and the deepest is more than nine kilometers. When a ship capsizes, the person who falls in it is no different from a reed.

For nineteenth-century people, there really wasn't much else to do but pray.

But with the passage of time, not only has the accident of losing contact with the ship not been forgotten by people, but it has had an increasingly widespread and profound impact.

Six months after being lost.

Kelvin discovered Cavendish's forgotten manuscripts and received funding from the Cavendish family to build a physics laboratory for Cambridge University.

To commemorate Horse Whistle and Cavendish, the laboratory was named "Cavendish Laboratory", and the position of the director of the laboratory was called "Horse Whistle Professor of Physics".

Whoever receives this position will inherit Ma Siao's office at Cambridge University, although Ma Siao has not stayed in this office a few times in total.

……

Napoleon III, who has become the President of France, strongly condemned the US government and believed that the Americans planned the shipwreck.

Under the joint pressure from Britain and France, coupled with the bad debts of the "Sleeping Bear Agreement", and Apache's strength beyond everyone's expectations, US President Polk had to hastily end the war and accepted the Apache agreement. Patch's condition.

As a result, Apache became the 31st state of the United States of America, and in fact had a higher degree of self-government, being part of the United States only in name.

Although the relationship between Apache and the Commonwealth remained tense, and was called "the most arrogant state" by one congressman, Apache still obtained a rare peaceful environment.

Rainy Day became the governor of the Apache State and began to further deify the horse post. The "Oracle" was printed and distributed in large quantities to unite all Indians.

For the horse post, the Indian tribes have a lot of admiration, but after being cast a layer of "martyr", the status and reputation of the horse post can be rapidly and infinitely elevated, and it has truly reached the level of a god.

Therefore, Indians all over the Americas, especially in North America, quickly accepted this common understanding: the horse post of the son of the sky is the hero and leader of all Indians.

For the first time, all Indians were united, though only in one idea...

……

A year after being lost.

University of Göttingen.

The greatest living mathematician, Johann Karl Friedrich Gauss, is here to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his Ph.D. in his honor.

This event gathered many famous scientists, they surrounded Gauss like a star, and the smartest group of people in Europe talked and laughed here.

"Guys, I have something nice to share with you." Gauss said with a smile in his old voice while picking up a book, "Of course, I think some of you have already read it. "

"What is this book? Professor Gauss." People were discussing.

""Spiritual Oracle"?"

Gauss smiled: "That's right, it's the "Spiritual Oracle", a religious book from Apache—I don't think there is any doubt that the horse post is its main creator."

"The religious theories in this book are very interesting. Of course, this is not the point...the most important thing is the one called "Sacred Questions." He flipped the book to the said chapter and handed it to the scientists around him.

The scientists gathered around curiously.

Gauss continued: "There are many conjectures and questions in "Holy Questions", some of which seem difficult, and I dare say that there will be no results in 100 years. Some of them seem not so difficult, but after trying, you will also know I feel like I can’t move an inch.”

"For example, the 'four-color conjecture', this seemingly easy-to-understand conjecture, I tried very hard for a period of time, but found that I was completely unable to solve it."

"I think these unsolved mysteries are very valuable and can even point out the direction for future scientific research, so I take this opportunity to recommend them to everyone."

As he spoke, Gauss couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that we don't have the chance to see the horse whistle. He is such a talented natural philosopher. If he can survive, he may achieve more dazzling achievements than Newton..."

As a king-level figure in the academic world, Gauss's wave of goods has been amazing.

Originally, as a religious book, the "Lingyu" was not paid much attention in the academic circles, but after this incident, scientists have realized its value, at least the value of "Holy Questions".

The collective attention of scientists has further expanded the influence of "Lingyu", causing more and more people to become interested in it and want to have a glimpse.

For a while, European paper was expensive, and "Lingyu" quickly sold out, and the genuine ones sold out, and the pirated ones sold out.

It doesn't matter if you don't read it, many people, especially those with bright minds and high cultural level, will be immediately attracted by the theological theories and religious legends carefully designed by Mashao after reading this book.

In comparison, the theories of most religions are crude and unbearable, neither realistic and rigorous enough, nor profound enough, and lacking in interest, they are simply superior to each other.

As a result, the teaching of spiritual teachings gradually began to spread in Europe, and it showed a strong expansion among the high-spirited groups.

In fact, due to concerns about the religious atmosphere in Europe, Ma Shao dared not take the initiative to preach. This seemingly unintentional result may be the best way.

……

Two years after being lost.

In the past two years, the British Royal Navy has successively sold some second-hand warships to Apache, enabling Apache to establish a considerable ocean power on the west coast of the United States.

Under the escort of warships, the Apache fleet carried out large-scale trade with East Asia and other regions through water transportation, and at the same time introduced immigrants to develop California.

Although Apache is developing in full swing here, the unreachable American Federation is not very clear about the situation here, and does not realize that California is actually controlled by Apache.

Three years after being lost.

British Commercial Regulatory Office in China.

A British man with a beard and a suit and leather shoes spread out a book in his left hand, and wrote various combinations of letters on the draft paper with his right hand, his eyes flickered and thoughtful.

"What are you up to, Wade?" his colleague asked casually.

Wade didn't look up: "Do you know Apache?"

"Apache language?"

"Yes, to some extent it is very young, after all, its writing system was created by Ma Shuo during his lifetime." Wade said slowly, "I recently learned about Apache's language, and then discovered A very interesting thing."

"what?"

"Apache's pinyin rules seem to be very suitable for Chinese, even tailor-made for Chinese." Wade seemed a little excited, and picked up the draft paper in his hand.

"Using Apache's pinyin rules, we can easily use English letters to spell Chinese words."

……

With the expansion of Apache's influence and the personal influence of Horse Whistle, the ideology and various rules and regulations created by Horse Whistle have also spread widely, not to mention science and technology.

Coupled with the turbulent background of the times, these ideas have not only promoted social progress, but also revealed themselves in the development of various contradictions such as race and class, causing waves all over the world.

manchester.

Two wise men with deep eyes and beards were sitting together, talking about something.

"I think we should write something for him," suggested one of the older ones.

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, the older one took up a pen and wrote: "It is certain that Ma Shao is the greatest figure of this era, even if his glorious life is as short as a meteor...

People have no way of knowing whether this undefeated Apache warrior has been buried in the deep sea, or trapped in an isolated island like Robinson Robinson, until he returns someday in the future.

But we are sure that his spirit will hang as high as the sky above everyone's head, and his legacy will encircle the whole world with the sea forever.

His era may have ended, but his era has just begun..."
