Chapter Ninety-Six: The Science of the Great Song Dynasty
Wanyan Zongbi was also looking at Qin Mu.
In front of this group of people, there is no doubt that Qin Mu is the leader. Don't look at the broken lady babbling, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows glanced at Qin Mu, no need to ask, this man is her dependence.
This Song person is completely different from the Song people that the fourth prince of Jin Guo has come into contact with.
Now the relationship between Song and Jin is very strange. To be honest, a little hemp stick beats the wolf, and the two ends are afraid.
Don't look at the rebellion of the Liao State a long time ago, from a tribe enslaved by the Khitans, independently built a country, and even recently even the Shangjing of the Liao State was defeated, but they were a little afraid of the Great Song Dynasty.
Because the Great Song Dynasty is indeed too rich, and the level of science and technology - of course, the people of the Jin Kingdom don't know this word, and it is too high. The goods one by one are all the existence that Jin Tutu Baozi looks up to.
The exquisite jade porcelain, the tall calligraphy and painting art, and even the clothes, shoes and hats, the car and the saddle, and even the toilet are better than those of the Jin Kingdom.
What kind of toilet does the Jin people use, just dig a pit.
The Great Song Dynasty is so rich and the level is so high, if the people of the Jin Kingdom have a little brain, they will consider it, whether they can't beat others.
Don't look at how much you can fight Liao-Liao is not much stronger than Tubaozi, but it may not be too big Song. Strange as it may seem, that's actually the case now.
And the Great Song Dynasty is also very two hundred and five.
The border army of Liao, close to Liaojin, such as Hu Yanqing, he knows the power of Jin. Even the Liao State was beaten down, and the Song army didn't pretend to be garlic, it was not an opponent at all.
Therefore, a group of civil and military officials represented by Hu Yanqing, such as the one in front of him who joined the army, has been groveling in front of the fourth prince of the Jin State.
But the officials in Bianliang City don't see it that way. Jin country, how can there be any Jin country, isn't it just a group of natives, who have only been wearing clothes for a few days? Mu Monkey and crown, but also built the country, ridiculous and ridiculous.
However, it is a fact that the Jin State was founded, and they founded the country in the case of Tokyo, which conquered the Liao State. If Tokyo is not taken, there will be no coastline in Jinguo, and the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to contact Jinguo if he wants to.
It is precisely because the Jin Kingdom laid down Tokyo and has its own coastline that it faces Dengzhou across the sea, and the Song people can secretly communicate with the Jin people.
As an envoy, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom has come to Bianliang more than once, and he can feel that in Bianliang City, up to the emperor Zhao Ji, down to the eunuchs and palace maids, he looks down on himself unabashedly.
Zhao Ji wanted to use Jin Guo again, and looked down on Jin Guo.
It's just a barbarian, it's not civilized, it's just a dog and bear in clothes.
The literati are supreme, the warriors are all lowly races, and the Northern Song Dynasty, even including the Southern Song Dynasty, has always carried out this view.
The literati of the Great Song Dynasty had an inexplicable feeling of superiority. They feel extremely good about themselves. No matter how the border troops fought and died outside, they were all reckless and not worth mentioning.
They don't think that war requires intelligence at all. Only poetry and intrigue are the embodiment of wisdom. Fight? Wearing armor and waving a sword, you can rush ah, as long as you have the strength, do you need any brains?
It is precisely because the literati have such an extremely erroneous understanding and it is deeply ingrained that they look down on military generals very much and regard war as a game. How else would they casually break up the forbidden army, so that the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, such a situation has always existed, and it also fuels the troubles?
The literati believed that when fighting a war, just send someone to be a general, anyway, with so many men and horses, so many ordnance, they can win together.
In fact, if it weren't for the border troops such as the Fold family and the farmer, the Western Xia Tubo would have been killed long ago. It is the Liao State, and it is also because of the Yuanyuan Alliance, which can receive hundreds of thousands of tributes every year, plus the recent generations of emperors are unreliable one by one, so they are at peace with each other, otherwise the Song Dynasty would have been destroyed by the Liao State.
But facts speak louder than words, Bianliang City has indeed not suffered from war for a hundred years, and it does not reflect the usefulness of martial artists, how do you fight, anyway, I didn't see it. Because of this, the officials of Bianliang looked down on Wufu even more.
The fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom is something, and even the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom does not put it in their eyes.
The reason why the maritime alliance has been talked about for a long time is because the two sides have unequal cognition.
Zhao Ji was only willing to write official documents in the form of edicts. Refuse to use the form of a national credential.
The edict is that I am higher than you, I am your father, and you have to listen to me. The national letter is a conversation between the two of us.
How could this make Jin Guo agree. The negotiations have been procrastinating for several years, of course, behind the back of the Liao State, and the negotiations are also like sheep dung eggs, sparse and incoherent. In the end, nothing came to fruition.
The Jin State wanted the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to fight the Liao State, but Zhao Ji did not dare. So Jin Guo couldn't wait, and finally last year, in the second year of Xuanhe, he sent troops alone and defeated the Shangjing of Liao.
This news is still unknown to the Great Song Dynasty.
Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, went to Bianliang this time, just with the power of a great victory, and then went to see the situation.
The Song people he has experienced are either groveling like Hu Yanqing, or Zhao Ji and Cai Jing with their noses turned up to the sky, and they have never met Song people like Qin Mu.
Qin Mu looked at himself very calmly, as if he was still a little curious.
This made Wanyan Zongbi interested.
"Who are you?" The people of Jin Guo don't have as many cumbersome etiquette as the Great Song Dynasty, so they don't know each other and ask directly. The fourth prince pointed directly at Qin Mu and asked.
"My name is Qin Mu, hello Fourth Prince." It's a celebrity. Jumping out of "The Legend of Yue Fei", Qin Mu also felt very weird.
"I'm fine." Wanyan Zongbi didn't know that Qin Mu was saying polite words, and thought that he really said that he was good: "But you are very bad." ”
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, lying down, what a real animal. So you can't speak.
"I think I'm fine." Qin Mu stopped joking with him, and made jokes anymore that his sister-in-law was angry.
"Your people, why did you kill my people?"
"Didn't I tell you, he molested women, in the Great Song Dynasty, this is a capital crime."
Qin Mu was clearly unreasonable. Even in the Great Song Dynasty, if you do something to a woman, you can't come up and slaughter it. If you want to do this, Gao Yanai will have to be reincarnated hundreds of times.
"However, here, it's not Song Guo."
"Who said that? Let me tell you about international law. Tell you, remember, warships are mobile land. This ship is the warship of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the extension of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. On this boat, everyone must obey the laws of the Great Song. ”
Huyanqing does business, and he directly uses the Great Song Dynasty warship, and the Great Song Dynasty's warship is no different from his own family, and in his case, he has the surname Huyan.
This sentence was too long, and Wanyan Zongbi frowned and thought for a while before he understood what Qin Mu meant.
This Song man, what he said, seemed to be reasonable, and for a while it made the fourth prince scratch his head.
In terms of words, a hundred Wanyan Zongbi can't catch up with one Qin Mu, not to mention anything else, Qin Mu has a thousand years of knowledge, this is a gap that can't be crossed.
"I don't care so much about the truth, in my Dajin country, my words are the truth." If the text doesn't work, force will come. This is the tradition of the people of Jinguo.
The Kingdom of Jin was a state founded by the Jurchens. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had been oppressed by the Liao State, that is, the Khitan people, and Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, that is, the father of the fourth prince, made up a lie in order to boost morale.
The Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible. Repeating a lie 10,000 times is the truth, and now this sentence has become a truth that the Jurchens believe in.
Even the fourth prince believed it. The Jurchens are invincible in the world in terms of force.
Don't look at the fact that there are not many Jurchens on the boat, but there are more than twenty, but there are only more than thirty Song people on the other side, compared with this number, Wanyan Zongbi feels that he still takes advantage of the boss.
One Jurchen, fighting ten Song people, this is the standard battle mode of Wanyan Zongbi.
Now twenty against thirty, no pressure, very easy.
"No, no, no, you can't say that." Qin Mu hurriedly waved his hand.
If it weren't for that ghost cabinet and setting such a difficult goal for himself, Qin Mu would have shot Jin Wushu a long time ago. Don't talk about history, let's just say that the novel "The Biography of Yue Fei" has long positioned the golden vulture at the level of a crime that deserves death.
In the hearts of later generations, it is estimated that there are 1.3 billion people, and there are no thirteen people who say that Jin Wushu should not die.
But because of that huge goal, Qin Mu didn't want to change history too much. Only by maintaining the inherent course of history can he achieve his goals in the shortest possible time. If history is messed up, it's like a well-functioning program, and suddenly there are too many unexpected problems, and the modulation is extremely troublesome.
So don't mess around, the damned to die, and the immortal to live temporarily is Qin Mu's pursuit.
Because of this, Qin Mu didn't want to kill him here.
"You are the envoy of the Jin State, representing the dignity of the Jin State, and you are often fighting and killing, and it is not the intention of the Emperor of the Jin State, right?" Qin Mu first detained the golden vulture with his words, and then said: "Right now, the person is dead, and he can't live anyway, as for what to do next, I have a good way, do you think it's okay?" ”
"What's the solution?" Wanyan Zongbi didn't want to kill. I went to Bianliang to negotiate, it was a big deal, and I killed all the Song people on this boat, how could I talk about it. And the one who died was nothing more than a lowly servitude, not worth much.
In this way, I come up with a question and guess the answer together. If you guess correctly, I will pay you a hundred taels of gold, and if you guess wrong, I don't want you to pay the gold, and the matter will be revealed. ”
"This can't be done, Nanban is really cunning." Zhao Ji looked down on the Jurchens, saying that the Jin country was a native of the country, and the people of the Jin country were not polite, and directly said that the Song people were the southern barbarians, the barbarians of the south: "If you ask me to guess how many stars there are in the sky, how can I guess it." ”
Qin Mu didn't expect that the Golden Vulture was not stupid. He was just about to open his mouth when he heard the sound of singing coming from beside him.
"Don't ask me how many stars there are, I'll tell you many, many." Yu Liyan suddenly sang a song, and looked at Qin Mu with big eyes and a blink.
Qin Mu almost kicked Yu Liyan into the sea. This is all the song that Qin Mu was forced to sing to her helplessly when she was coaxed to sleep before, who knows that Yu Liyan heard Jin Wushu talk about how many stars, and somehow caught up with the line and sang it all at once.
"Haha, Nanban, you see that your women know that you are going to lie to me." The Jurchens burst into laughter.
"Shut up for me." Zhi Meifeng pulled Yu Liyan aside.
"Hehe," Qin Mu smiled awkwardly and said, "Joke, joke." Don't mind. I don't ask you about the stars in the sky or the flocks of the earth, I ask very simple questions. ”
As he spoke, he whispered a few words in Jia Honghong's ear. Jia Hongxian nodded, immediately returned to the cabin, and brought two pieces of gold for Qin Mu, both of which were taken from the Yang family.
Qin Mu took two pieces of gold and said to the fourth prince: "Fourth prince, look, these are two pieces of gold, one big and one small, my question is, put the two pieces of gold at the same height, and at the same time let go of your hand to let the gold fall to the ground, which one falls to the ground first." ”
According to Qin Mu's request, Jia Hongxian brought Qin Mu two special pieces. One piece was very large, the size of a fist, and the other was very small, only the size of a date.
Wan Yan Zongbi was puzzled. Does this need to be asked? The big one must have fallen to the ground first.
Could it be that Nanban is still weird? Are these two pieces of gold fake?
"Nanban, you dare to deceive me, one of these two pieces of gold must be fake."
Qin Mu smiled slightly and handed over the gold.
The fourth prince subconsciously took it in his hand, and his hand was heavy, and it was really gold that could no longer be real. Both are gold.
The Jurchens live in the white mountains and black waters, that is, in the old forests of the northeast, they often pan for gold in Heilongjiang, and they know the truth of gold more clearly than Qin Mu.
Real gold and fake gold, you can't deceive Yan Zongbi.
It's all real gold, just one big and one small. Let go together, who falls to the ground first, how obvious this is, it must be the big one that falls to the ground first, the big one is heavy.
"Nanban, tell you, the big one falls to the ground first." Wanyan Zongbi hurriedly answered. If Qin Mu said the answer first, it would not be good.
"Okay, then my answer is, two pieces of gold, and they fall to the ground at the same time."
As soon as Qin Mu finished speaking, he felt Jia Hongxian pinching the flesh on his waist.
Jia Hongxian was full of anxiety, what a smart person his cousin was, why was he stupid at this time. Who does not know the heavy falling blocks. Such a large piece of gold can land much faster than a small one.
She also thought that Qin Mu would use words to trap Yan Zongbi and let them choose the wrong answer, who would have thought that her cousin would choose the wrong answer himself.
This makes Jia Hongxian how can he not be in a hurry. Qin Mu, who only pinched, only sweated. He sadly found that his group of women were really uncivilized - all of them were illiterate!
Qin Mu pulled away Jia Hongxian's hand and said to Wanyan Zongbi: "Fourth prince, since the two of us have different answers, let's test it now." You can do it yourself. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and signaled that the Golden Vulture could begin.
Not to mention Qin Mu's woman now, even the Guards began to worry. Don't be wrong, Commander. In their hearts, Qin Mu is God, how could God be wrong. However, the weight fell quickly, and everyone knew that the head of the regiment chose the wrong answer. What can I do......
Wanyan Zongbi rolled his eyes, and felt that Nanban must have a bad heart, how could it be so easy for him to win.
He thought about it, laughed, and said, "Qin Mu, you are so bad. ”
Hearing this, Qin Mu almost couldn't help but take out his hand and shoot the Golden Vulture Technique. What are these words, gay in gay gay. I don't know if I hate gay the most.
"You see, my hand can be lifted so high, at such a distance, the size of the gold will fall to the ground at once, and you can't tell the fast or slow, you just want to lie to me like this. I won't fall for you. We're a little taller. ”
As he spoke, Jin Wushu pointed at the mast: "That one on top, let go on that one." ”
Qin Mu looked up, and the mast was really high.
He nodded and said, "Okay, fourth prince, you can climb up." ”
"No, no, no, it's your question, you put it." The Golden Vulture is not a fool either. It's so high, even if you don't fall to death, you're half crippled. He won't be able to climb.
Qin Mu scratched his head a little. Mast climbing is a technical job, he really can't. Now it's a bit embarrassing to go get the equipment and get the hook.
"Report, Commander, please let me come." Qiu Chen couldn't help but stand up.
"You? Can you? "Qiu Chen is the youngest soldier in the Guards Regiment, and Qin Mu is a little uneasy.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Qiu Chen puffed out his chest and replied loudly according to the order.
He is from Jiangnan, and his family used to have a boat, or a big ship, and the mast is not much lower than that of a sea ship.
"Stay safe." Qin Mu patted Qiu Chen's shoulder. Fang La's old background, Qin Mu knew everyone's background clearly, and knew that Qiu Chen was from a water family, so he was not particularly worried.
He took two pieces of gold from Wanyan Zongbi's hand and handed them to Qiu Chen.
Qiu Chen handed over the gun to the platoon commander for temporary safekeeping, took the gold and put it in his pocket, then straightened his clothes, and quickly began to climb the mast.
It didn't take long to climb to the top of the mast.
"Fourth prince, do you think it's okay at this height?" Qin Mu finished asking Yan Zongbi for a long time.
"Yes." Wanyan Zongbi felt that it was high enough. This height will definitely make Qin Mu lose face. When the time comes, the big gold will fall first, hehe......
Nanban, play tricks with me, you are still tender.
As soon as Qin Mu waved his hand, Qiu Chen immediately hooked the crossbar with his legs, and the whole person hung upside down on the mast, holding a piece of gold in each hand, separating them from a distance, and at the same time letting go of his palms.
The gold fell straight down, in no particular order, and fell to the deck at the same time.
This......
Don't finish speaking, Yan Zongbi looks stupid, even Jia Hongxian is stupid.
What's going on, could it be that my cousin knows magic?
The soldiers of the Guards Regiment suddenly burst into cheers! Captain Qin, invincible, is still their god.
