Tide Seven
Tide Seven
Hearing that Beiyuan had sent assassins to assassinate him, the expression on Wen Tianxiang's face was not at all as shocked as Liu Zijun had expected.
In this era of information blockage, there is no so-called international public opinion and national image, and Beiyuan will use all possible means to attack its enemies. The world's earliest biological weapons were definitely not the first to be used by the Spaniards on the battlefield, and the method of throwing the carcasses of people and livestock infected with infectious diseases into the city and using the disease to defeat their opponents was the patent of the Mongol warriors.
In the same way, the massacre of cities and exterminations, on the one hand, was due to the cruelty of the Mongols. On the other hand, it is because this method does have the effect of breaking the resistance of the other side.
In this era, all means that could strike at the enemy were considered reasonable, and the Mongols had no scruples.
Of course, you don't need to have so many scruples to deal with Beiyuan by yourself. Before the aggressor leaves the country, all available means are just means.
Now, the two warring sides are competing with each other more skillfully and skillfully using the various tactics.
"Prime Minister, are we going to transfer the guards out....?" Liu Zijun tentatively made a murderous gesture. Wen Tianxiang's calm attitude made him a little confused, as if he was not the target of assassination.
"No need, let them go for a while, anyway, there is a fruitless master here!" Wen Tianxiang smiled and looked at the fruitless monk with trust. He had heard of this murderous master, and as early as the Lin'an Defense War, someone had mentioned this person to him. But at that time, he had an instinctive aversion to martial arts figures.
If the so-called martial arts characters do not distinguish between right and wrong, they will only rely on the strong to bully the weak, and the so-called rivers and lakes will only stand by or work for the invaders when the country is in trouble, then this so-called martial arts and rivers and lakes are just a mess. It really doesn't need to be taken into account.
The recent activities of Wuguo and others in Fujian have greatly changed Wen Tianxiang's view of martial arts, and the spy personnel under Liu Zijun have reported the results of the Jianning bloody case, and all the evidence shows that it was Wuguo and others who secretly sniped at a sabotage activity of the Northern Yuan spies.
While Wen Tianxiang was looking at himself, Wuguo was also looking at this legendary hero, the Great Song Dynasty. It's hard to believe that the thin, haggard-looking scholar in front of him is the one who has created miracles again and again, and supported the remnants of the Song Dynasty with his shoulders. It is also hard to believe that this prime minister, who speaks slowly and has a peaceful look in his eyes, is the person who acts shocking and dares to change the ancestral system in the face of the world when he occupies the land of projectiles.
"Prime Minister...."
"Master...."
Wen Tianxiang and Monk Wuguo spoke almost at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, and made a gesture of please.
"Master first....!" Wen Tianxiang suggested with a smile.
"Then the old man is not welcome, according to the old man, since the prime minister does not want to alarm the people, he might as well take a risk......" Without waiting for the fruitless words to finish speaking, Liu Zijun stood up and retorted excitedly: "No, how can the master use the prime minister as bait!" ”
"Zijun, listen to the master's words, this risk, I am worth taking!" Wen Tianxiang smiled and motioned to continue without success. What he wanted to do, he knew in his heart.
The fruitless suggestion was to use Wen Tianxiang as a bait to attract those assassins to take the bait, follow the vine, and wipe out all the Northern Yuan spies.
And Wen Tianxiang wanted to gamble, bet on the ability to work in the spy department of the Broken Army, and his ability to judge the current situation.
Da Chun had great hopes for the assassination. Therefore, after hearing that the Assassins had entered Fuzhou, Wen Tianxiang's first thought was not to arrest these Assassins and those in the city who had colluded with the Assassins, but how to take advantage of this opportunity.
As long as there was hope for the assassination, the military operation of the Northern Yuan would not have been carried out easily. The Broken Army and the Fujian region can calmly win more than ten days of respite.
"It's just that from now on, the prime minister will reduce the number of times he goes out and increase the number of guards!" After fruitlessly finishing his suggestion, seeing that Wen Tianxiang did not object, he cautiously added. This is a big gamble that he and a few friends around him came up with, and if he wins, he can uproot the hidden forces of the Northern Yuan in Fuzhou City.
Once he loses, he may not only lose Wen Tianxiang's life.
It's just that the fruitless monk didn't expect that Wen Tianxiang was as proud as him, a man from the rivers and lakes.
"Zijun, you go and arrange, let's fight with this group!" Wen Tianxiang nodded in agreement and instructed Liu Zijun to give his full support.
"Prime Minister Xie!" Fruitless, put your palms together and bow your head in salute. What impressed him was not only Wen Tianxiang's open-mindedness, but also his ability to comprehend the fighter.
"Master is polite, if you have anything to say, just say it to Zijun!" Wen Tianxiang bowed and returned the salute, although these ranger characters cannot be restrained by discipline, but occasionally used as a surprise soldier, it can also have a surprising effect.
Fighting against the Northern Yuan Dynasty and defending a civilization from destruction is not his alone, nor is it the business of the Broken Army's family. All the forces that can be used must be utilized.
There is hope for the country only if all those who defend it stand together, regardless of faction.
From the day a country is founded, there will be a lot of moths and scum. When these scum and moths stand in a certain percentage, the country is in danger.
At this moment, all those who defend the country must join hands to turn the tide. If at this time, there are still differences in the ways and conspiracies, and it is necessary to divide the government and the rivers and lakes, and divide the distribution and the system. I am afraid that before the internal dispute is resolved, the foreign enemy has already stolen power.
After sending off the fruitless monk, peace was restored in the study. The storm outside the window still has no intention of stopping, and the lightning illuminates the night sky from time to time, illuminating the dark mountains and rivers in the distance, as if the whole world is shaking in the wind and rain.
The situation is becoming more and more complex. In other words, with the deepening of one's own understanding of this war and the implementation of various means, the situation that one can realize is becoming more and more complicated.
This is a contest between two civilizations, which has begun since the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongols joined hands to destroy Jin.
War doesn't just happen on the battlefield, every mistake on both sides is enough for the opponent to launch a fatal blow. The means of using the internal contradictions of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will be used by the Northern Yuan Dynasty as well.
At present, the Xing Dynasty, which represents the Great Song Dynasty, is obviously not capable of dealing with such a blow from the Northern Yuan.
According to the collected information, the little emperor fell into the water and fell ill, and it was rumored that it was because the little emperor insisted on coming to Fuzhou to join the broken army, which caused some local powerful forces in the army to be dissatisfied and secretly blackmailed.
This fully exposed the internal contradictions of the Xing Dynasty. And at this moment, all contradictions are opportunities that Beiyuan can exploit. There was already an indignant general of the Broken Army who suggested that Wen Tianxiang raise doubts to the imperial court in the name of the right prime minister, and this suggestion was suppressed by Wen Tianxiang.
There are some things that you can never explain the truth. Even Chen Yizhong, who has always been good at scheming, chose to avoid going to Annan as an envoy, and Wen Tianxiang knew that he could not do anything.
It's not that you can't, but you can't.
Purely from the perspective of the development of the Broken Army, the closer he was to the imperial court, the more he limited his growth. For the distant dynasty, the rational approach should be to maintain its existence, but it is definitely not to follow its orders.
But you are the champion of the Great Song Dynasty.
The minister's heart is a magnetic needle, and he does not guide the party to hate. At this moment, where is your heart pointing? Countless voices, sleepless nights, shouted in his ears.
Deep in my heart, I am tormented by a loyal word. In my eyes, there is a chaotic situation, and in this moment of crisis, one wrong step may lead to the loss of the entire country.
"What if one day, the appeal of the Broken Army can already replace the imperial court, what should we do?" Deep inside, another voice kept asking himself, Wen Tianxiang shook his head, and his gaze continued to fall on the bookcase, where there was more practical work to be done.
As for what will happen in the future, there is no answer!
What I need most these days is time. Standing in front of the experimental smelting furnace, the battalion of the heavy battalion of the Broken Army, and Xiao Zi, the Science and Technology Department of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stared at the jumping flames and thought silently.
There were more and more guards outside, and he obviously felt the pressure. Beiyuan has already extended its tentacles to the Science and Technology Department, and a lot of work has just begun here.
Through the Shaowu Defense Campaign, the entire Prime Minister's Office raised its understanding of new weapons to a certain height, and almost all policies were tilted toward the manufacture of ordnance; at present, the personnel establishment of the baggage battalion is larger than a standard, and the funds and materials are the most sufficient among all departments in the army.
The current work of the Department of Science and Technology is no longer simply the manufacture of weapons. After those processes and standards are figured out, it is natural that the baggage camp and its related factories will complete it.
After a period of exploration, the basic equipment of the Broken Army, steel crossbows, artillery and grenades, can be mass-produced, and the abundant water source of Shaowu River provides sufficient power for the factories on both sides of the river. Every day, under the guidance of Lin Laohan, the craftsmen recruited from all over the country will make the accessories one by one according to the fixed process. Finally, a group of backbone old craftsmen assembled the parts into finished products at a secret base in the mountains, transported them along the river in small boats, and distributed them to the various standards of the Broken Army.
In Wen Tianxiang's words, the secrecy work will only delay the time for the Northern Yuan to obtain artillery and steel crossbows, and the development and improvement will make the equipment of the Broken Army forever distance itself from the Northern Yuan in terms of quality. Therefore, the people arranged around Xiao Zi are all skilled among the hundreds of workers, and people of insight selected from among the scholars who came to join the army. Back then, Wen Tianxiang used the "Book of Heaven" to push open a door in front of Xiao Zi, and now, Xiao Zi's job is to pull more people into this door.
"In fact, these things have appeared long before this dynasty or this dynasty, but no one has summarized, summarized, improved and promoted them, so most craftsmen know what they are and don't know why. In addition, my generation of readers can ignore it, resulting in a period of time, the technology does not advance but retreats! Xiao Zi picked up a freshly formed grenade shell from his feet, pointed to the tortoiseshell-shaped pattern that could be made on it, and said: "Like the current enemy weapon grenade, it has been used in the first year of Jingde, but no one has made it so small and so sophisticated!" ”
The eyes of the scholars gathered around Xiao Zi were shining, full of curiosity about the unknown world. On the Centipede Ridge, the Yuan army, which was three times its size, was beaten by artillery and thunder. In the worship of the strong, these young scholars have given up their prejudices about strange skills and tricks. Especially thinking that he can also be like Xiao Zi, as a scholar, to contribute to the country, many people are full of passion and fantasy.
The Northern Yuan court was a group of well-dressed beasts, and through the news in the newspapers and the accounts of the victims, most readers accepted this concept. Especially after the Northern Yuan court stipulated that the imperial examination did not include southerners, everyone strengthened their hatred of the same enemy.
"The emergence of technology does not mean that it is applied to practice. The application of technology is very different from popularization. For example, this irrigation furnace here has appeared in the Southern Qi Dynasty, but it was not until recently, after the guidance of the prime minister, that everyone applied it to weapon manufacturing!" Xiao Zi handed over the grenade shell to a student, and came to an experimental irrigation furnace to demonstrate how to make steel while preaching and teaching.
The flames in the furnace danced, illuminating the faces of a group of young people. For more than a month, they have learned too many things from Xiaozi, such as complete annealing, isothermal annealing, oil quenching, high-temperature tempering, brine quenching, and the differences and connections between products in different processes. These are all miscellaneous studies that they have never been exposed to and do not bother to come into contact with. And now, these miscellaneous studies have been raised to the level of the rise and fall of the country.
The prime minister said that Shao Wucheng will be the training base for talents in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and in the future, talents in ordnance manufacturing, military command, and national governance will all come out of here, and as the first to arrive, they must bear the burden of guidance and teaching. Although there are many things, these pioneers seem to understand it. However, he has the enthusiasm and confidence to spread the content on the "Book from Heaven".
"Our job in the future is to understand these things, study them, and make the most of them. Prime Minister Wen promised that in the future, anyone who could contribute to the improvement of armaments would be reported to the imperial court for recognition of his merits. Those who have made great contributions will be crowned with their honor, so that they can enjoy this glory for generations! Xiao Zi looked at the eagerness of everyone to pass the grenade shell, and announced Wen Tianxiang's prime minister order with a smile. The current grenade has developed to the third generation, from the original simple iron shell ignition type, to the rapid quenching crack type, the shell wall is deliberately uneven, and the lobes are basically more than four pieces after exploding, and the ignition device has developed from the unsafe way of wax sealing white phosphorus to the sulfur nodice head ignition type.
And the book in everyone's hands is the introduction to the Gewu course. Read it thoroughly, and a lot of questions will no longer be mysterious! Xiao Zi put down a piece of poured steel, pointed to the "Introduction to Physics" in everyone's hands and said. It was a book written by Wen Tianxiang and a few old craftsmen, and it explained some basic knowledge of nature and basic theorems in a language that everyone could understand.
Although in the eyes of Wen Zhong in later generations, this knowledge is not worth mentioning, in the eyes of the world at that time, these are already heavenly books and cannot be passed on.
"All things have the property of remaining at rest or in a uniform linear motion until they are compelled to change this state by the forces of other bodies. If there is no external force, its state of motion will not change, which is called inertia! ”
A diminutive scholar co-authored a book, shook his head and whispered. It has been more than a month since this book was handed out, and everyone present can recite it backwards as if it were reciting the Analects, but the true meaning of it is very difficult to understand. Although Xiao Zi has already demonstrated it with experimental methods, it is not very effective for minds that are accustomed to memorization and reasoning.
"The object will produce acceleration when it is subjected to the action of the resultant external force, and the direction of the acceleration is the same as that of the resultant external force, and the magnitude of the acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the resultant external force and the inverse proportion to the inertial mass of the object."
Facing the buzzing endorsement in front of him, Xiao Zi was dumbfounded. Obviously, he didn't expect that everyone would "accept" the knowledge in "Introduction to Gewu" in this way.
Fortunately, he still has a killer plan prepared in advance. Moreover, last year on Baizhang Ridge, when he and several young staff members were taught these basic theorems by Wen Tianxiang, their performance was not much better than that of the current students. At that time, it seemed that Wen Tianxiang himself did not understand very well, but through experimental verification and mathematical derivation, everyone quickly discovered the correctness of these theorems.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zi waved his hand and interrupted everyone's recitation. "Okay, starting tomorrow, everyone will go to the factory to make weapons by themselves, and when I come back in the evening, I will teach everyone basic math for the prime minister. Those who have understanding can enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to study the heavenly book written by the prime minister! ”
This reward is even more tempting than the one who asked for merit and knighthood just now. The students shouted excitedly and threw the "Introduction to Gewu" aside. It is rumored that Wen Tianxiang received the book of heaven from the gods in his dream to calm the world. Xiao Zi is the founding disciple of Wen Tianxiang.
Reading this book means that you have entered the wall of Prime Minister Wen. Tempted by the goal of seeing the Book of Heaven, many students have since stepped into the door of science.
Many years later, Xiao Zi, who was appointed as the first secretary of the Science and Technology Department of the Great Song Dynasty, sat with several old academicians of the Great Song Academy of Sciences to eat and drink, and talked about the days when Shao Wucheng personally built weapons, and they were all full of emotion.
"Fooled, fooled. Back then, I was bent on reading the Book of Heaven, and then, I followed the Prime Minister to rule the country and level the world. Who knows, the Book of Heaven is a trap, if you plunge into it, you won't be able to get out again! Yuan Yizhi, an old academician of the Great Song Academy of Sciences and the inventor of the automatic artillery return device, sighed and said.
"Yes, I read the books of the sages, but I memorize three or five books. And the Prime Minister's Book of Heaven is only a few words, and we have to find the answer to the rest ourselves. As a result, the more I looked, the more problems I found, the more I looked, the more I searched. I've been in it for the rest of my life! Zhang Haoran, who put forward the theory of the roundness of the earth and drew the map of the Great Song Dynasty with longitude and latitude lines, agreed with a red face.
Many of them regarded themselves as disciples of Wen Tianxiang, but everyone later understood that the Book of Heaven written by Master Wen was not a mysterious text, but a primer that contained a lot of knowledge. The things on those drawings have been restored to reality, and some of the things invented in reality have exceeded those granted by the drawings.
Obviously, the person who wrote that book was a learned man, not an immortal.
Everyone had a question in their hearts, who gave Wen Tianxiang's original book of heaven? That's a forever mystery.
