Chapter 338: Conflict

Shi Wei, Zhang Qi, Su Xiaomei, Su You, also watched the excitement among the crowds.

The Liao ambassador Yelu Renxian was a great contributor to the pacification of the Chongyuan Rebellion, and now he is wearing a golden crown on his head, and the eaves behind the golden crown are pointed and long, like a spread lotus leaf, wearing a purple narrow robe, and his waist is tied with gold.

The deputy envoy Ma Shiliang was wrapped in a gold belt around his waist, and his clothes were like Hanfu, standing on the side.

A Song companion stepped on the crossbow, danced and mounted an arrow, and handed it to Yelu Renxian.

Yeluren first picked up the crossbow to aim, and Song Rendang pointed out a few words beside him, Yeluren first adjusted his posture, and then pulled the tooth machine, and with a snap, the crossbow flew out.

Fifty paces away on the opposite side, there was a flag bearer hiding in a wooden bunker, and then he came out, went to look at the arrow stack, and then took down the red flag from the flag stand on the side and shook it.

Ma Shiliang said with a smile: "The ambassador is proficient in archery, this is the right heart." Silver Saddle is none other than an ambassador. ”

The target has three colors, with a red heart in the center, then a yellow circle on the outside, and a white circle on the outside. The prizes for this shooting included costumes, clothing, gold and silver utensils, and the most expensive was a set of silver horse harnesses.

Yeluren smiled first: "This thing, which consumes strength and has a short distance, is more than three times slower than the carved bow. Our Daliao shoots the hunting ceremony every year, and even the queen mother can hunt tigers and catch bears. So it's good for farmers to have fun. ”

The Song people who watched the excitement around were a little depressed.

Shi Wei tugged at Su You's sleeve in the crowd: "Brother Xiaoyou, that Liao man has some truth, the crossbow is indeed slower than the bow." ”

Su You said loudly: "Yes, but to be an archer, it takes a lot of training to become a qualified soldier, and it takes two or three years to become a qualified soldier." The crossbowman, on the other hand, only needs four months. So it's a matter of overall cost. As for the rest of the disadvantages, you can find a way to make up for them. ”

"For example, the crane shin crossbow solves the problem of range; For example, the three-stage shot solves the problem of slow winding. Our Great Song army has a numerical advantage, but it does not have a military superiority, and there are many reasons, and the poor quality of individual soldiers is considered to be one. ”

"But on the other hand, among the Three Kingdoms, the quality of my Great Song Dynasty's individual soldiers has the most potential to be tapped. Using a crossbow is the best choice for the Great Song Dynasty today, but it is not necessarily the eternal choice of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

This is very reasonable, and the surrounding Song people feel that Xiao Langjun sees the problem very comprehensively, and the slander of the Liao people is completely unreasonable, so they can't help but cheer and applaud.

There was an envoy beside Yelurenxian, who wore a golden crown and a narrow scarlet robe, and a golden scarlet robe, and hung on his back. Disapprovingly, he said: "The Song people are used to speaking loudly. This thing doesn't work, it doesn't work, take my bow! ”

The man handed the carved bow, and the man fired three arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the target.

Yeluren saw that someone jumped out automatically, and smiled slightly: "Wu Gui's archery technique, even if he goes to participate in the Khitan Spring Hunting Ceremony, it is not bad to think about it." ”

Wu Zong is the ambassador of Western Xia, and said with a smile: "Western Xia, like the Khitan, established the country with safari and the heaviest bow horse. Well, playing on this occasion, on the battlefield, it won't be of much use......"

I heard a voice say, "Really? Ben Envoy doesn't think so. ”

The two looked at it, but it was Gao Zhisheng who was wearing a Confucian shirt and a lotus crown.

Gao Zhisheng bowed to the two: "It's okay to build a country with a bow horse, but if you want to rule the country with a bow horse, you have something to do." To put it bluntly, the fact that the country does not have the strength to feed its own citizens is in itself a mistake in power. ”

After speaking, he said to Ah Homi: "In General Quinoa, let's also play?" ”

Ah Homi smiled: "I can't get used to this crossbow. ”

Gao Zhisheng said: "Then let's play our southwest." ”

Soon, three crane shin crossbows were placed on the table.

Ah Homi said: "Mingrun, come and help!" ”

Gao Zhisheng smiled: "Mingrun, come here, your sister is going to perform a magic arrow." ”

Su You stepped forward, and Gao Zhisheng and Gao Zhisheng stood on both sides of Ah Homi.

Gao Zhisheng said to Yelu Renxian and Wu Zong: "The two ambassadors said that the crossbow is flawed, and it is true that the crossbow is good at defending but not attacking, which is its flaw. However, to say that it is useless on the battlefield is biased. ”

Ah Homi had already been angry with the nonsense of the Tanguts and Khitans, and said: "Less nonsense! Get on the crossbow! ”

Gao Zhisheng laughed and wound the crane shin crossbow and hung the arrow.

On the other hand, Su oil also began to do the same.

As soon as Ah Homi pulled the trigger, the short arrow flew out almost in a straight line, hitting the red heart.

The surrounding crowd erupted in a shout of good, and then saw Ah Homi put down the crossbow and picked up the second eight crane shin crossbow on the table.

The three of them formed a cooperation, Gao Zhisheng and Su You were only responsible for winding, Ah Homi was responsible for sending the crossbow, and the short arrows of Santing flew out with "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh", and quickly played a rhythm.

This speed is no less than opening a bow, and the persistence is much stronger than opening a bow.

A cup of tea, the arrow stack in front is densely packed with arrow feathers, Ah Homi is a master, and he is stunned that no arrow is out of the red heart.

The crowd erupted in waves of cheers, Su Xiaomei began to lead the rhythm, and then the crowd began to count neatly: "...... Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two...... Forty-three! Forty-four! Forty-five! Okay—"

One unit of the crane and shin crossbow was equipped with fifteen arrows, and three units were finished firing forty-five arrows, and the time passed in no more than a few minutes.

Su You said loudly to the crowd of onlookers: "It is generally believed that the bow is stronger than the crossbow, and that is because of the long-term practice of the archers. ”

"For example, the knights of Western Xia and Khitan began to play with bows and practice archery at the age of six, and became qualified archers at the age of sixteen, and ten years passed in between."

"The performance just now is just to prove that if I am a crossbowman and can have more time to practice, I can still play with flowers."

"An archer who can shoot ten arrows in a row is skilled in martial arts; can shoot fifteen arrows in a row, which is the elite of the talented army; Being able to shoot so many arrows in such a short period of time is to raise Youji's resurrection, and Xue Rengui will definitely not be able to do it if he is reborn. ”

So you don't need to look down on others and look down on yourself. Hunting tigers and catching bears is the relationship between people with few fields and many forests. ”

"I also want to fight tigers, but Bianjing is hundreds of miles around, except for mulberry orchards and wheat fields, so there must be tigers to fight us, right?"

The onlookers in Bianjing laughed and leaned back.

"Xiao Langjun is right! Not to mention tigers, rabbits and pheasants are all rare! ”

"In the past, pigs were raised, but now they are all in the circle!"

"Yes, yes, our Great Song Dynasty is too bad, there is nothing around Bianjing City, don't you have to set up a few targets to shoot for fun? Hahahaha, I'm so ashamed......"

"It's still powerful, the Queen Mother has gone into battle to shoot and hunt, I'm afraid it's not a savage who lives in the mountains......"

The people of the capital are poor, and that is able to make people's popularity fly.

Wu Zong said angrily: "Boy! Who are you?! Dare to stir up trouble here?! ”

Su You arched his hand and said: "Your envoy is serious, it was the little marquis of Dali who asked me to come out." If there is anything wrong with what I said just now, please correct me. ”

Wu Zong sneered: "When the young emperor of my family raised troops and horses, and Xingshi asked for the crime, Huangkou Xiaoer said what was wrong!" ”

Su You immediately interrupted the etiquette and sneered: "Young Emperor? The Western Xia was canonized by the Great Song Dynasty, but it was just a prince, the Khitan ambassador, the title of the young emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty, was it canonized by the lord of your country? ”

Yeluren smiled and shook his head first, he could see the conflict between the Song people and the Western Xia people, of course he wanted to cheer: "I am the lord of the country, but I haven't told me about it." ”

Su You spread his hands: "So, a little king can barely be called, why did the title of young emperor come from?" ”

Wu Zong was furious, raised his bow and took arrows, and was about to shoot at Su You.

In the midst of the crowd's exclamations, they heard Wu Zong's miserable scream, and the Song people next to him raised their hands, and then kicked Wu Zong to the ground, twisted his arm, and pressed him to the ground.

Wu Zong was overwhelmed, and the surrounding Western Xia warriors drew their swords to save people, Ah Homi and Gao Zhisheng pressed the tension spring on their waists, and two short swords popped out, protecting Su You.

Seeing that a clash was about to break out, the sergeants who maintained order outside the field reacted and quickly isolated the two sides.

The archery competition in the South Imperial Garden caused a diplomatic incident, which soon alarmed the Kaifeng Mansion and then the imperial court.

Zhao Shu and Empress Dowager Cao were at the Wuyue Guanyingxiang Pool and the banquet with the ministers today, but Sima Guang and Lu Zhi started work ahead of schedule, and at the banquet, they impeached Gao Yi, the Xixia companion of Honglu Temple.

This time, the Western Xia envoy came from Yanzhou, and Gao Yi was the official in charge of the reception, and he clashed with the Western Xia envoy, so he was impeached by Sima Guang of the Governor's Yuan.

Sima Guang was still wearing auspicious clothes, wearing a hairpin ball head hat on his head, wearing a red brocade troupe lion shirt, a gold-plated heavenly king's belt, and several bones on the belt.

But no matter how jubilant the clothes are, they can't stop the cold air of the Zhiyuan: "Your Majesty, Wu Zong, the envoy of Western Xia, is the Xia Guohe Dengji Fengren." It is a matter of decency in the court, even if it is vulgar, it should be cared for and tolerated. When His Majesty first ascended the throne, he should focus on quietness, and do not contradict distant people, as it is inevitable that there will be trouble. ”
