Chapter 536: Yanagi's Sword Saint Zen

This time, Fujiwara Mitsuko felt that he was really pitted by the so-called "reliable intelligence". Because according to the previous reliable information, the Great Demon King is an extremely practical philistine and lecherous man. As he said, the emperor was old and his control weakened, and the Fujiwara clan was eager to arm himself, so he came to public relations with him if he did not want to.

It's a pity that according to Hiroshi Culture, men are paradise in aristocratic homes, while women are almost tools, basically used for speculation and use, and Fujiwara Mitsuko is no exception.

The essential reason is that the Fujiwara clan controls a large number of silver mines, and now expanding production is secondary. The most important thing is to deliver the large amount of silver that has been produced to the Song State as soon as possible, so as to obtain materials to stabilize the situation on the island.

In the past, although the Great Song Dynasty was advanced, it did not have these conditions. But Fujiwara Mitsuko, who studied in the Central Plains Continent, has witnessed the great innovation of the Great Song Dynasty in the past five years, and now, the Great Song Dynasty has countless high-quality materials that can be continuously supplied to the outside world, while Japan has no productivity, and only silver cannot be eaten or drunk.

The biggest problem with transporting silver to the Great Song Dynasty was not the need to suppress the old emperor, but the need to find a way to repel those damned Jurchen pirates.

In addition, in the eyes of Fujiwara Mitsuko, Goryeo sticks are really not a good thing. Taking Dengzhou Port, an important seafaring trade town in the Great Song Dynasty, as an example, the sea route was basically blocked by the Koreans, and the cost of trade was too great, so those who were harassed should not want it.

The voyage was already dangerous, and it also had to face harassment from the Goryeo navy. As a result, since the implementation of the current Fujiwara Mitsuko's father's policy, seven ships of silver have sunk to the bottom of the sea, and another thirteen ships of silver have been stolen by Goryeo pirates.

On the surface, it is said to be a "pirate", but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is the disguise of the Korean Navy. Because of this, Wang Gongchen, the transfer envoy of Dengzhou Zhizhou and Jingdong East Road, rejected Fujiwara Mitsuko's request for "the Great Song Dynasty Navy to protect the sea route" due to diplomatic sensitivity.

The Great Song Dynasty really has a naval army, but it is not an independent system, and the forbidden army series is stationed in Dengzhou, not belonging to the City Parking Division, because Jingdong East Road has no economic envoys, so it is controlled by Wang Gongchen, the governor of Dengzhou.

The equipment is not important, even if the Dengzhou Navy does not have black technology, but in terms of navigation technology and ship size, the Great Song warship equipped with bed crossbows only has the upper hand compared to the Goryeo Navy Army. But Wang Gongchen still refused to send troops to protect the route.

On the other hand, Wang Gongchen urged Fujiwara Mitsuko countless times: quickly deliver the promised silver to the city.

Deliver an egg!

Fujiwara Mitsuko felt that the little lady, what should I give you? Now four out of ten of the silver shipped by the Fujiwara clan can actually reach the shore, and it is all swallowed up by the sea and pirates.

Wang Gongchen was born as a minister of finance, in addition to his own interests, he also knew better than anyone that the deflation in the Great Song Dynasty was so serious that he was mad, and the acceptance of Jiaozi was progressing slowly, basically except for Qingtang, most foreign businessmen were still on the sidelines. Even with the technological revolution, the efficiency of copper mining has not kept pace with the demand for finance.

The reason why Wang Gongchen refused to send troops from Dengzhou to protect the shipping route in this situation was because the behavior of the Goryeo people in cutting off the silver route of Wadao seemed to be piracy, but it was actually the hegemonic policy of the Liao State.

This is naked hegemonic interference and plunder, which is tolerable and intolerable!

Politically, the Liao State could not accept Japan's worship and dependence on the Han family, and only wanted Japanese silver to enter Goryeo and eventually flow into the Liao State, and the Liao State would use the silver to import a large amount of materials from the Song State to maintain the Liao State's frantic military expenditure.

That's pretty much it.

In Fujiwara Mitsuko's heart, the Song people are definitely the most gentle people in this era. The silver sent to the Song Kingdom could be exchanged for nearly three times as much as that of Goryeo, which was the real trade. And those sent to Goryeo, it is basically a forced purchase and forced sale.

But it was sent to Goryeo in the early days, and although there was no harassment from the Goryeo pirates, the fleet of the Fujiwara clan was robbed by the Jurchen pirates. The Jurchens were really fierce, with more advanced navigation skills than Goryeo, and they were brave and good at fighting, and they even had a bad record of attacking Kyushu Island and burning and looting.

At this time, when I came to see the Great Demon King, I really had no way to think about Fujiwara Mitsuko, if I was weak, I would be beaten, and if I was backward, I would be killed. So I had to use my figure and appearance to see if it was possible to get the support of Beijing, so as to solve the problem of piracy and the efficiency of transportation in one fell swoop.

Beijing does not have the right to control port trade, let alone send troops to escort the silver trade line as a naval army, but the demon king of the Department of Industry, he has the fastest and most mysterious sea ship of this era, as well as flintlock pistols, and artillery that can be deployed on the ship.

What a lifesaver! The things that the Great Demon King has, almost all of them are life-saving materials that the Fujiwara Mitsuko family urgently needs. And these things need the approval of the Department of Industry, and it is not enough to just publicize the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Great Song Dynasty.

While walking to the test range, Fujiwara Mitsuko thought about the above.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt panicked, and said in a low voice: "My lord, do you know the difficulties in my heart? ”

"I know." Wang Yan said absent-mindedly.

"Do you really know?" Fujiwara Mitsuko actually hopes that he doesn't know, otherwise being pinched by the tail is the most difficult thing to negotiate, and in the end, I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out with my ass.

Wang Yan stopped, stared at her good-looking and messy face, and said, "Isn't it that the Liao Kingdom wants to eat your silver, and by the way, cut off the source of my Great Song Dynasty currency and disrupt the economic policy of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Fujiwara Mitsuko is cold and cold-hearted, and now that he knows the sore spot of the Fujiwara clan, it seems that it is difficult to negotiate.

But it was dumbfounded, the Great Demon King didn't talk about conditions, and changed his words and said: "Don't worry, Da Song will definitely help your country solve these problems within a certain period of time." It's not because you're Bai Fumei, I've seen a lot of Bai Fumei. It is because as a responsible power, Da Song is the rule-maker and the policeman of the maritime world in the future. ”

"How long is a certain amount of time? Can it all be solved? Fujiwara Mitsuko asked expectantly.

At this point, Wang Yan looked into the distance and muttered: "It will be very long, and it can only be alleviated for the time being, but not eradicated." The contraction of hegemony does not happen overnight, and it is impossible to truly end the hegemony that already exists without war. ”

"So as a responsible power, when will the Great Song Dynasty formulate a fair and just maritime trade environment?" Mitsuko Fujiwara pretended to be in tears.

Wang Yan smiled but did not speak.

He did not answer positively about the timing of the dispatch of troops to the Bohai Sea. just reached out and touched her face, and said with a smile: "I don't know, because of the responsible policy of a major country, it is not my decision now." ”

Fujiwara Mitsuko was terrified, this time the tears were not pretended, and said weakly: "Okay, although you can't control the national policy of a big country, but you can control your behavior, don't touch my face, being touched like this when you have a comprehensive advantage, feeling the pill, this is also a kind of hegemony." ”

"I'm just seeing a piece of dust on your face, and you don't know that the Daimyo's Mansion has been smog lately. When there is such a haze on your island, you can hang Goryeo and Jurchen together. The big duck had no choice but to withdraw his hand and continue to walk slowly.

Fujiwara Mitsuko believed him, and asked: "The Jurchen pirates and Goryeo pirates are hateful and hateful, don't talk about the Liao Kingdom, you can always find a way to deal with the Jurchen and Goryeo turtle sons first, right?" I know you can't send the Toshu Navy out there, but it's always okay to sell me some armaments and advanced ships to the Fujiwara clan so that we can fight off pirate harassment and improve the efficiency of transporting silver, right? ”

Wang Yan thought for a while and said, "Maybe." But it's not as simple as you think, and I'm not as easy to talk as you think. When I think about it, I can concentrate on foaming with me now. ”

"Hey." Fujiwara Mitsuko didn't expect a response to this kind of thing in a short time, and he was also enthusiastic to see the cannon.

Wait a minute...... What the hell is that, so evil?

When I arrived at the Shenwu Artillery Test Range, I saw with my own eyes that those soldiers carried obscene smiles and poked the barrels of the cannons, and stuffed a huge cannonball into it, and there was a little boom.

Shooting in a straight line, the huge recoil brought a strong sense of earthquake, and with the fire dragon jet, a huge wall built of brick and concrete two thousand steps away was suddenly blasted into slag, and the smoke was filled!

Fujiwara Mitsuko's mouth trembled in shock, and she couldn't speak. Obediently enough, if this guy can appear on the sea ship, he can sink the largest ship of the Korean pirates to the bottom of the sea with one shot.

Of course, their own ships will fall apart.

The momentum of the test firing was too terrifying, and it almost formed a shock wave nearby, except for Mu Guiying and Fujiwara Mitsuko's personal samurai Yanagi Yinyan, the rest of the people were pushed out of the way.

"Huh......"

Mu Guiying looked at Liu Sheng Yin Yan curiously, and found that his body hadn't shaken from beginning to end, but the soles of his feet had sunk into the dirt a little.

Mu Guiying thought about it and began to despise him without a head. It is undeniable that he is a top master, but it's interesting to pretend to be hard to resist, like the big lady and me, half a step back is the king, do you understand, damn the wooden head shell, I like to pretend more than Zhanzhao.

This cannon is too evil!

I really can't look at it more, the more I look at it, the more I want it, it will lead to an imbalance in my mentality. So Fujiwara Mitsuko's huge chest was violently bullied a few times, and after calming down, he decisively left the test range with his personal samurai Yanagi Yinyan......

The earliest Japan was influenced by the Tang Dynasty, which was the so-called Tang era, and walking among the Han people was no different. From the beginning of the fifth dynasty, they gave up their belief in the Han family, and when they had their own opinions, they announced that they had entered the era of Japanese. This is also known as the "Yamato tradition".

This tradition is manifested in women wearing kimonos, and men wearing strange hairstyles and carrying two swords, one long and one short.

The sword and sword of the Wajin are the same, and it is the kind of katana that later generations called it, and it has a unique forging technique.

However, from the Zen sense, the long one used in duels or wars is called the murder knife, and the short one used to cut oneself or save people to do good deeds is called the redemption sword. This is the "mind theory" of the Wajima Sword Saint Yanagi Ju Sect, but it is not the origin.

As Aunt Mu Guiying saw in the Daimyo's Mansion, the ancestor of the current Yanagi clan, Yanagi Yinyan, is the two swords he brings, so he is the origin of this "mind". To be more precise, Mu Guiying suspected that the origin of this mind was not Liu Sheng, but the Linchuan Sword Saint Lao Liao.

Among the swordsmen, Liao Qingluan is the most pretending person that the eldest lady has ever seen, when he was young, Lao Liao was with two swords, one long and one short, and later it was too much to a heavy sword, known as a big skill, and now Lao Liao does not carry a sword, known as a hidden sword. I don't know if it's popular or something, after Bai Yutang became a big man, he brought a wooden sword during the errand period in Kaifeng Mansion, and now he has also entered the stage of Tibetan sword.

Only the eldest lady herself has been consistent for decades, and she doesn't feel troublesome with a heavy black iron rod, which has become a habit.

Mu Guiying's thinking is similar to that of the Great Bird, the more weapons, the bigger and bigger, the more righteous they are, so in the Daimyo's Mansion, he saw the northern samurai Yanagi Yin Yan with two unique swords, like the old Liao in the past. The eldest lady's mind also warmed up, and she thought about finding someone to fight all day long, but unfortunately Yanagi avoided it......

Although Yanagi was very low-key, he walked in the market with two swords because of his unique costume, and encountered onlookers and fingers from the people.

"Stop! Is there an approval? Dare to bring a controlled weapon to swagger through the market! In the sound of scolding, Liu Sheng was stopped by Yan Yan.

So Liu Sheng Yin Yan held the long knife of murder and turned around to look, his heart beat violently, and the atmosphere froze for a while, it was a beautiful Song country beauty as beautiful as Fujiwara Mitsuko and as big as milk, dressed as a Taoist priest.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Sheng Yin Yan gave up holding the sword, took out the "gun license" approved by the Song Imperial Court from his arms and handed it to the female Taoist priest for inspection.

This female Taoist priest is Cao Qing, not an official, and she herself carries a sword. As for why he accepted her inspection, Liu Sheng Yin Yan himself didn't know, maybe because of his appearance.

Cao Qing couldn't see the reason for it, it seemed to be the bodyguard of a foreign minister's daughter or something, so he said again: "Bring your sword to me to see, why is it strange?" ”

"You ......" Liu Sheng was a little angry, he didn't want to deal with her, and quickly reached out like a phantom to snatch the paperwork back.

Whew-

It was incredible, and Cao Qing was moved half a foot sideways like a phantom, and cleverly avoided it.

"Huh......"

Liu Sheng Yin Yan can't imagine, where are there so many masters in this world? Thinking like this, I couldn't help but be a little discouraged: "Come back to me." ”

"No, show me your sword first to see if it matches the weapons listed in the approval." Cao Qing said.

"You rascal!" Yanagi Yin said sternly.

Cao Qing said with an awe-inspiring look: "Do you give it or not?" ”

Yanagi Yin grimaced, and slowly grasped the hilt of the long knife with his hand.

This moment was an opportunity to pull, and Liu Sheng Yin Yan also sensed that Cao Qing had turned into a blade and entered the form of a touch.

After a moment's hesitation, Liu Sheng thought that there was no need to hold the long knife, so he held the short knife again and began to draw the sword slowly.

From the moment he held the short knife, Cao Qing relaxed again, and threw the paperwork to him, "Give it back to you." ”

After Liu Sheng Yin Yan pulled out the short sword, he reversed the hilt and handed it over: "That's good, here you go." ”

"Then, this is what you gave, not what I robbed." Cao Qing snorted and away his short knife, like a phantom flashing away in a few flashes.

I'm @#¥.

As a sword saint, he was actually taken away by the female liar of the Song Kingdom, and Liu Sheng Yin Yan was almost angry to death. But if you think about it carefully, the reason why this is the case is not because of her deterrent, but because she is more likely to be good-looking......
