The cold Yun Zheng walked on the cold streets of Xingqing Mansion, and the carriage behind him contained a lot of strange things, including black toner, snow-white saltpeter, and some sulfur, the amount was very large, far exceeding the amount needed to cast puppet fire at the wedding, the Xixia people had such a tradition, when dancing the Nu dance, the god of Nu would hold the torch while helping the bride and groom to bless the time, and on the other hand, he would throw the powder mixed with toner and sulfur onto the torch, bursting out a large bright flame, intended to drive away evil spirits. *Bungaku*
They didn't know that as long as they added a lot of saltpeter to it, and got the proportions right, it would become a terrifying thing - black powder.
Three hundred catties of black powder turned Chengyanguan into ruins, this time there were thousands of catties of black powder, Yun Zheng didn't believe that he couldn't blow up Ning Lingge's prince's mansion? I don't know if Li Yuanhao is still in the mood to rob his daughter-in-law, he has to prepare for everything, if Li Yuanhao can bear the lust and light the gunpowder, it is Yun Zheng's second-hand preparation, if Li Yuanhao really misses Mo Yi's family and commits adultery in public, Yun Zheng plans to help Ning Lingge break through the imperial city wall rammed by the loess of Western Xia. Watching their father and son kill each other, all the revenge was avenged.
Because tomorrow is the prince's big day, Xingqing Mansion is rarely quiet, all the sergeants guarding everywhere return to the camp, and Qingtianzi rewards a lot of wine and meat, and closing the door to eat and drink is also a way to tie up.
The sergeants of the Jiazi battalion were very busy, because they were masters of cooking compared to the Tangut people, and no matter how stupid they were, they could still fry an oil cake, so they scattered in various barracks to help cook.
Yun Zheng wants to give the Xixia people a lesson that will never be forgotten, this land does not believe in tears, only believes in violence, Yun Zheng's purpose is to make them feel what is the real violence!
Four beaded flowers in my arms. It completely aroused Yun Zheng's ferocity, and the rich murderous aura emanating from his whole body, perhaps only Wugou would understand how angry this man is now.
Brother Ning Ling was enjoying Yun Zheng's anger, as long as he saw Yun Zheng's iron-blue face, he could drink two more glasses. It was the thrill of conquest, and it made him feel more fulfilled than conquering a woman.
Commanding Ning Lingge's servants to mix, stir, black powder and then fill the tank and seal it, two large tanks appeared at the door of the main hall, one of which was filled with clear water. This is for fireproofing, and as for the other vat, it is entirely for setting fires.
Brother Ning Ling was very satisfied with Yun Zheng's efficient command and arrangement, and he was as picky as others, and he couldn't find much fault, Yun Zheng was so tame. Finally made him give up his plan to humiliate Yun Zheng again, handed over a rare glass of wine and said with a smile: "I robbed one of your women, tomorrow you can also take any of the Mo Yi clan's dowry girls, they are all the beauties of the Mo Yi clan, not much worse than Ge Qiuyan, from now on, how about the contradiction between you and me be written off?" ”
"Why has His Highness changed so much? Let Yun Zheng be flattered! ”
"Millegu said, he said that you will become a great person in the future, I want not to humiliate you too much, there is no shortage of warriors among the people of Western Xia, there is no shortage of fierce generals, and there is no shortage of commanders who have won a hundred battles, what is really lacking is a person like you who understands internal affairs, I have actually been watching from the sidelines today, you can still sort out the tedious little things one by one under the fury, and the prince's mansion of Nuoda was deployed in an orderly manner by you in half a day. It's really a skill.
If it weren't for the fact that Ge Qiuyan had already been on the Yuanfu roster, it wouldn't be a big deal to give it back to you, the manly man was scrupling about a face, who cares about one or two women and women, give a happy word. Can it be made or not? ”
Seeing Brother Ning Ling's palm, Yun Zheng's tense face finally relaxed, and he reached out and high-fived Brother Ning Ling three times as an oath. Seeing that Yun Zheng and Ning Lingge had resolved the conflict, Millergu, who was sitting at the top, nodded frequently, such a result was the best result, and he was really optimistic about this young man.
"Tomorrow's guards are a big problem, and now Xingqing Mansion can be said to be full of rumors, how can two assassinations make such a big wave? Obviously it's just a trivial matter, just send someone to track it down secretly, why use the army to search for the whole city, this is Xingqing Mansion, not a military town, the army should also abide by the rules, and if there is something, it should be the matter of Kaifeng Mansion, not the army.
In fact, the more chaotic Xingqing Mansion is, the more happy the enemy is, and only by letting Xingqing Mansion be chaotic, people can fish in troubled waters, the military strength of Western Xia is not false, we can't ride on a horse to fight the world, and then ride on horseback to govern the country, the army is used to prevent foreign invasion, or to expand the territory, not to kill the people, even if it is to kill, it is also a matter of Kaifeng Mansion.
Now, the Western Xia has copied the control of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the Kaifeng Mansion has moved over, which is nothing, since it has moved over, it is necessary to use it, Zhongshu, Privy Council, Three Divisions, Yushitai, Kaifeng Mansion, Yiwei Division, Official Planning Division, Acceptance Division, Farmland Division, Qunmu Division, Feilong Academy, Mokan Division, Wensi Academy, we are not lacking any of them.
Why doesn't Kaifeng Mansion try the case? Why doesn't the Flying Dragon Academy monitor the world, and why is the Chinese book like an ornament? Why hasn't the Grinding Institute produced a usable civil official over the years?
It is not right that the son of Qing Tianzi can decide the affairs of the world with one word, even if a person is a genius, it is impossible not to make mistakes, and even if a person is mentally strong, it is impossible to rule a country. The so-called imperial court is an institution that unifies everyone's wisdom and then releases it, and in the court, it is common for each other to compromise and make concessions to each other, otherwise it can only be hard-hitting, and if His Royal Highness does not have the prestige of the Qingtianzi to rule the country in the future, nothing can be done.
In my opinion, the disadvantage of the Great Song Dynasty is that the civilians unified the army, and the soldiers were inferior, and the problem of the civil officials was that as long as they did not fight, they could deal with it in other ways, which caused him to be the richest country in the Three Kingdoms, but the military force was the weakest one, and the Western Xia was just the opposite, it was the warriors who served as civil officials, and the biggest problem of the military attaché was that Lao Tzu had a knife in his hand, who was so damn impatient to persuade with his mouth, the knife fell to the ground, and the head fell to the ground, and there was no need to explain anything, but there was one less of your people. If this continues, Western Xia will never be rich.
Yinxia Erzhou is the foundation of the emperor, but also the country of abundance, where the farmland is fertile, and even rice can be planted, as long as the Han people who can farm are migrated to Yin, Xia, they will only farm and let them go to farm, only need to collect taxes every year, the party people like to graze, then go to grazing, there are ready-made pastures at the foot of Helan Mountain, and only need to pay livestock every year, as for Xingqing Mansion, it can become the commercial and cultural capital of Western Xia, a capital city should be like this, prosperous, peaceful, You don't see dead people all the time, you don't hear the sound of horses' hooves, you jump to your house with your head in your hands.
With grain, horses, merchants, craftsmen, and invincible warriors in the Western Xia, there was no reason why such a country should not prosper, why would it be curled up in the land of the Hetao and unable to move? ”
When Yun Zheng began to speak, Brother Ning Ling didn't care very much, but slowly he put down the wine glass in his hand and the whole person became solemn, and Millergu also came over, and then the other Xixia nobles closed their mouths and listened to Yun Zheng talk about his opinions.
Speaking of happiness, Yun Zheng asked Brother Ning Lingge to take out a map, pointed to the land of Western Xia, which was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and said: "Western Xia is the land of four wars, so the military strength can only be strengthened and not weakened, the Great Song Dynasty in the south will not be able to take him for a while and a half, and we can't do anything about the Khitans in the east, these two countries are too big, even if they will get a little cheap for a while and a half, it will not help, it is not cost-effective to attack Tubo in the west, we are attacking all the way up, it is too much of a loss,
In fact, the target of our attack should be the Hui people! There is a road called the Silk Road, and the Western Xia is the most important link in it, a Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty made Chang'an a huge city inhabited by two million people, why is it declining now? The only reason is that the Silk Road is cut off, and the biggest scourge is the Hui people, if Qingtianzi can defeat the Hui people, open the Silk Road, and allow the merchants of the Song Dynasty to trade with the merchants of the Western Regions, we will collect taxes from them will be enough for Qingtianzi to lead his troops to attack Huanzhou eight times. ”
"How do you know that I won't get a lot from attacking Huanzhou?" Li Yuanhao's voice came from outside the door. It looks like they've been eavesdropping for a long time. I finally couldn't help but speak.
Yun Zheng hugged his fists and said: "King Mingjian, Huanzhou is a place, it is really not a rich place in the Great Song Dynasty, the border is stuffed with cities, and the land is bitter and cold, even if the king moves Huanzhou to Western Xia as a whole, there will not be much income." ”
Li Yuanhao smiled, stepped into the threshold and looked at Yun Zheng and said, "These words are probably the foundation for you to frame the prince and stand firm in this storm, right?" I have to say, there is indeed some insight, but a thousand pounds of cattle cannot be cultivated in a day, let's talk, what is the most urgent thing at the moment? ”
"Grain, tuntian, the people of Western Xia can't guard the fertile fertile fields and go hungry!"
"Who's going to Tuntian? Are you going? ”
"Yes, but Your Majesty has a request, that is, to give me manpower, material resources, and an undisturbed environment, at least within five years I will only input but not output, if after five years, Western Xia is still short of food, food is still not abundant, please cut off my head!"
"Hahaha, Brother Ning Ling, take a look again, I asked you to take a closer look at this person in Kaifeng Mansion, you don't want to, look at it now, just like that, you won't be wronged if you bear thirty whips.
Yun Zheng is right, since you boasted of Haikou, I will fulfill your wishes, as long as it takes five years, you let the grain of Western Xia be full, and I will leave you a position in the third division, it will definitely not be the idle official position you just mentioned, are you willing? If it doesn't work out after five years, I'll kill everyone who follows you! ”
