"If Qi Guogong asks me to do something, I only need to hand a note to my father, why should Brother Tian be peaceful and polish a sword for ten years? Do you know that I don't know poetry and books, so don't you come to entertain me? ”

Liu Yu is not stupid, he is afraid of being used as a gunman. Although he had a good relationship with Tian Ping in his memory, how strange it was to look at this matter today.

The noble family, one is prosperous, one is lost, it is said that if Qi Guogong finds himself to do something, it is simply a matter of one sentence, and there is no need to be so troublesome at all.

Tian Ping smiled and fanned Liu Yu with a folding fan, and said with a smile: "Yiguo Gong is too cautious." For fear of getting involved in the slightest right and wrong. Today, my father said that if Brother Shouchang is willing to borrow this east wind, my father will push you; If not, you know this, I know my father, and no fourth person knows. ”

After speaking, he pulled Liu Yu and walked inside. Liu Yu had a question mark in his head, but since Tian Ping said so, it was not easy to excuse himself, so he could only arch inside.

Although the title of the Duke of Qi is not very good, the system of the Duke of Qi is the same as that of the Duke of Yiguo.

Entering the instrument gate, it is also the first five front halls, and the last seven main halls.

According to the rules of the previous dynasty, the only duke who could open seven main halls could only have seven main halls in the Confucian Mansion of Yansheng Gong.

However, because of the shaving of Confucius's hair and other things in the last years of the previous dynasty, the master has been reduced from the status of "teacher and saint" to the status of "Zhou Gong is holy and master is teacher" during the Tang Zhenguan period.

That is to say, the order of sacrifices in the Confucian Temple in the world has changed, Zhou Gong has replaced the master, the master has replaced Yan Hui, and the rest have been reduced by one grade.

Before the second year of Zhenguan, the Duke of Zhou was a saint, and the master was a teacher, not a teacher and a saint. From the Holy Descent Division, this title has also changed.

King Wenxuan, who was sealed during the time of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was already the top in the world from King Wenxuan to Emperor Wenxuan in Western Xia, and now it has returned to the status of Zhenguan two years ago.

Now King Wenxuan of Confucius has been reduced to the Duke of Xuanni of the Han Dynasty.

Yan Sheng Gong also followed the water and retreated from the ship to the Hou of Feng.

When the new dynasty set the throne and set the etiquette system, Li Laiheng and others all had a stomach full of resentment.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, some of the things that the Yansheng Mansion did made the new dynasty very passive, and later shaved his hair and took the lead in persuading him, if there was no resentment, it would be a ghost.

A group of rough men from Mizhi and Suide were just like the old cousins of Pei County in Chang'an City in the early Han Dynasty, and they didn't care so much about respect and humility at that time, so they angrily made a fuss and said that the Confucian Mansion could open seven rooms, why couldn't these heroes who fought with Li Wansui open seven rooms?

Your house can be opened, but I can't open it?

This sentence made the main hall of the Duke's Palace of the New Dynasty open seven rooms.

Seeing that Tian Ping took himself to the main hall, walked through the hall, and went directly to Qi Guogong's inner study, Liu Yu felt more and more that this matter could not be small today.

Push the door in and salute casually. He often comes to Fuzhong, the identities on both sides are similar, and he doesn't have too much politeness, and Qi Guocheng is just looking at something there. Seeing Liu Yu coming, he saluted casually, and did not pay attention to it, beckoning Liu Yu to come over.

"Your cautious father, if he knew that I was looking for you, he would have to quarrel with me again."

Qi Guogong Tian Suo is also in his forties, and his temper seems to be better than his father, giggling.

Liu Yu often comes and goes, he is very familiar with it, and it is not easy to accept this, and he just wants to know what Qi Guogong is looking for him.

After a while, the maid serving tea brought tea, and Qi Guogong waved his hand to let them all go down, leaving Liu Yu and Tian Ping, and there were only three people left in the room.

Before Liu Yu could ask first, Qi Guogong Tian Suo asked first: "Shouchang, you have studied in the West, and you have studied with missionaries for a few years, you should know a lot about Xiyi, right?" ”

What year is tonight, Liu Yu is not very clear, it is estimated that it should be between 1720 and 1730 in the Western calendar.

If you talk about the understanding of Western countries, Liu Yu feels that he is not modest, inside and outside the Manchu Dynasty, there should be no one who understands better than himself, and can be called the king of understanding.

He was also not modest, and nodded, "It's okay." ”

"Then if I ask you, is there a land route between Poland and Sweden and the Rus' country, do you want to think that my countryman is uneducated and unskilled, and his corpse is a vegetarian and in a high position?"

"Uh......"

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, how could he ask Poland and Sweden? It is understandable to say that Dashun asked Urros, the Netherlands, Portugal or something. Q: What are these two countries doing? Eight zhang away, eight poles can't hit.

"It's all neighbors."

"That's it, but I don't know if it's friend or foe?"

Tian Suo frowned, turned around the ground twice with his hands behind his back, and sighed: "Today's Northwest Frontier reported that our army encountered the Dzungar Department in the northwest and suffered a great defeat, with 3,000 troops defeated. The level of firearms in the Dzungar Department was very different from before, and the cavalry charge was also very different from before. ”

"Capture a few prisoners, let's just say that in previous years the Dzungar Ministry fought with the Rus, and captured a few talents. a Pole, what is Polshevsky; A Swede, what is called Lenat. The Poles are good at horsemanship, and the Swedes are good at guns......"

At the moment, Liu Yu was shocked, Tian Ping was stunned, he never expected to know such a big news? The Great Shun Army suffered a defeat in the northwest? The Dzungar Division's firearms and cavalry tactics have been greatly improved? Why didn't you listen to your father?

Liu Yu had heard of this Polshevsky, a major in Poland, who, like the Swede Renat, was captured in the battle of Lake Yamesh between Dzungaria and Tsarist Russia.

This Polshevsky passed on to the Dzungar Polish cavalry's charging skills, not blowing or black, the Polish cavalry is still very fierce, and the charging skills and tactics are relatively advanced; Rehnat was a Swedish artillery officer, helping the Dzungars to forge cannons and imparting lessons to Swedish artillery.

Originally, in the battle of Hetongbo between the Manchus and Dzungaria, the Polish Bolshewski took the lead in the charge, and with the wedge-shaped charging skills of the Polish cavalry, he led the team to break down the Manchu guard, Hesheri Dingshou, and completed the encirclement. It can be regarded as the creation of the history of the Poles in the East.

The Swede named Renat, somewhat similar to Kong Youde in the late Ming Dynasty, helped Dzungaria establish an artillery team and formed an artillery corps with 35 field guns and 10 mortar guns.

Hearing these two names again at this time, Liu Yu was not shocked, but he was also a little dazed.

The defeat of 3,000 people is not a thing like the sky falling, but the shock of the generals is certain, especially to figure out what is going on? These two were captured? Or was it sent by Sweden, Poland, etc., the enemy countries of the Rus'?

Liu Yu didn't dare to be a god, talking about the battle of Lake Yamesh thousands of miles away, but this battle was also a wake-up call for Dashun: 3,000 Cossacks and shooting troops, 20,000 Dzungar troops fought at home for several months, and 700 people ran away.

The Russians did not suffer much losses, but the combat effectiveness of the Dzungar Department was also enough, and in the face of the fortress, there was a lack of artillery, and there was really no good way except to besiege it.

At a loss, Liu Yu felt that this Dashun was like a broken ship? Watching the four seas rise to level, but in fact, there are leaks everywhere?

One thing after another, and it seemed like they were going to come together.

Today, when Qi Guogong came to find him, I am afraid that it is not as simple as sharing the news of the defeat in the northwest. I'm afraid it has something to do with Western studies, missionaries, and maybe even the Northwest War and Tsarist Russia.

In the middle of the night, the Gongtian of Qi said: "In the first year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Bowang Hou to the Western Regions, intending to find the Dayue clan to attack the Xiongnu. In my opinion, this Dzungar department is not a problem, and the Zaras in the north are the great enemy. I just don't know how Sweden and Poland compare with the Rus? ”

"Is it similar to the Celestial Empire and the Southwest Tusi and the Northeast Korea? Or are they all big powers? Believers, so-called Protestantism? Old Church? It may not be good, but it is just enough to know whether it has the intention of using troops in the team. ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not like the Celestial Empire, Tusi, and North Korea. Sweden is also a small country, with a population of only one million, but its army is very strong, and the Rakshasas have conquered several times, so that the bells of the temple are melted into cannons before they can win. ”

Tian Suo heard Liu Yu say that Sweden has a population of only one million, and it can fight with the Rakshasa for several years, and he is secretly surprised in his heart.

Then he took out a piece of paper, beckoned to Liu Yu and said, "Since you have studied with missionaries for several years, you should know Western characters." Look, what's written on it? ”

Leaned over and glanced at the words on it a few times, and it was easy to recognize, it was all Latin that he had learned from the missionaries, the official lingua franca of the West at this time.

I read two lines at random, and they were all the official names of the Qi State Gongtian Suo, translated into Latin. There was also a message from the Russian mission.

Liu Yu seemed to have an understanding, looked up at Qi Guogong, and asked, "The Rakshasa Kingdom is going to send an envoy?" Qi Guogong, are you responsible for contacting? Something to do with the war in the Northwest? Shouldn't this be done by missionaries? ”

After asking a few questions, Liu Yu seemed to have something in his heart - Dashun had just fallen out with the missionaries, the Holy See was stubbornly biting on the issue of etiquette, and the Fujian teaching cases were frequent, so those missionaries had to be used again.

It seems that today's events are finally going to be connected.

This Dashun is not smooth at all.
