Chapter 440: Zhao Gou's Oath
"Fourth Prince, do you understand firearms?" Zhao Gou did not continue the topic just now. The four words of Jin Wushu have already made his ambition clear.
People with this ideal can talk about something. Zhao Gou will not have in-depth communication with mediocre talents - that is a waste of time.
The Golden Vulture has great ambitions, but the great ambitions also need to have the corresponding ability to cooperate, otherwise it is a fantasy. Such a person is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and Zhao Gou will not take care of it.
Zhao Gou wants to test the talent of the golden vultures. After seeing the power of thunder and artillery, the Nine Emperor Princes had a new perspective on warfare.
It's just that he doesn't know if the Golden Vulture can keep up with his level, so he has to ask and talk about it.
"Firearms? Is Your Highness talking about thunder and artillery? The Golden Vulture was overjoyed when he heard this. He met with Zhao Gou for the sake of thunder and artillery. Now that Zhao Gou took the initiative to mention it, it was right for his appetite.
"Exactly."
"I've heard that both thunder and artillery are used in **."
But it's true. I don't know what kind of changes the fourth prince thinks the appearance of firearms will bring to the war? β
Hearing Zhao Gou's words, Jin Wushu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He knows firsthand the power of firearms. On the pier of Wujiazhuang that day, the one hundred and fifty Jinguo warriors he brought with him all died before they even had time to hum. This made the Golden Vulture full of fear of firearms.
For unfamiliar and powerful weapons, most people have exaggerated fears.
It's like when a musket is paired with a cold weapon, many people think that muskets and artillery are invincible in the world. It's not something that humans can compete with.
However, in World War I and World War II, the opposing sides were muskets and artillery, and the weapons at that time were far more powerful than during the Opium War.
Of course not. Far from disappearing because of the great development of firearms, wars have become bigger and bigger.
In the trench warfare of World War I, hundreds of thousands of people on both sides dug trenches to fight.
In World War II, the three-in-one strike of land, sea and air was far superior to that of World War I.
But even under such a blow, there are still people who can survive and continue to fight.
It can be seen that weapons are not decisive.
But when new weapons first appeared, they did frighten most people, such as nuclear weapons.
The firearm that Jin Wushu saw was a weapon from World War II, and it was a real fight a thousand years ahead of this time and space, which of course made him feel scared.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew how to water, and he didn't happen to be wearing armor at that time, the fourth prince would have become the fourth prince of the dragon king by now - he was drowned at that time.
He thought that the heavenly thunder and artillery that Zhao Gou said were the terrible weapons he encountered in Wujiazhuang, and Jin Wushu couldn't help but feel palpitations: "The heavenly thunder and artillery are very powerful." With such a firearm, armor is probably useless. β
"Yes, the fourth prince is really not a mortal." Zhao Gou only knew the power of firearms after watching the drills of heavenly thunder and artillery.
Under the blow of firearms, no matter how fine the armor is, it is useless. Zhao Gou is interested in the throne, so he is extremely concerned about military affairs - this is a reference to the ancestor Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin was the Chen Qiao mutiny, and he was added to the yellow robe.
The current wars are mainly sieges and field battles. Whether it is a siege or a field battle, the side with firearms has a huge advantage.
As the defending side, the artillery can hit farther and damage the enemy's siege equipment greatly. No amount of rushing cars, arrow towers, can withstand the bombardment of artillery.
In the field, the cavalry of both sides hedged, and the heavy cavalry could carry arrows and crossbows, but there was nothing to do with artillery and thunder.
Zhao Gou believes that as long as he is equipped with enough firearms, he will defend steadily and attack fiercely.
He felt that when the Song army was completely weaponized, the armor should be withdrawn from history.
Unexpectedly, Jin Wushu also had this understanding, which made Zhao Gou feel like a confidant.
Firearms are completely new weapons. In the past, the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty was an ornament, and no one used it, but now it has become a truly powerful weapon, but ordinary people can't change their inherent thinking for a while.
Especially those old ministers, they are old and have a low ability to accept new things. These people simply did not think that firearms were epoch-making weapons, and that the pattern of warfare would change because of the advent of firearms.
They are still old wine in new bottles, and they have not grown at all.
This is also the reason why Zhao Gou looks down on them.
Young people still have a future! Zhao Gou found resonance in the Golden Vulture.
"Fourth prince, my Great Song Dynasty now has firearms, just like a tiger grows wings, and the officials and ministers have a restless heart."
"His Royal Highness King Kang, what do you mean by this?" Jin Wushu Zhengse said: "Do you think that just one or two firearms can scare me Dajin?" β
"Fourth Prince, that's not what I meant. I just state the fact that there are indeed two forces in the court, one is to make friends with the Jin State, and the other is to use firearms to promote my great Song Tianwei. β
"Your Highness, is my Dajin scared?" As the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, Jin Wushu naturally has his pride. Song Guo is like a weak chicken, even if he has a firearm, what can he do? Which turn is your turn to scare me.
"How dare you. The bravery of your army, this king has heard of it. I admire Nengjin very much for being able to wipe out the Liao State. β
"Then the two forces you just said are ......"
"I'm wondering if there should be a third force besides these two forces."
Jin Wushu looked at Zhao Gou's slightly mysterious face, and suddenly his heart moved: "King Kang means ......"
"Fourth prince, I am now the third force, but I am soft-spoken and weak!"
"I wonder what King Kang thinks of my Jin Kingdom?" Jin Wushu first had to figure out what Zhao Gou thought.
"Jin Guo is very poor." Zhao Gou said it straightforwardly.
After he said this, Jin Wushu's face turned red when he saw itβis this looking down on us? Call us Hanako?
In fact, Zhao Gou is right, Jin Guo is indeed very poor. They are still primitive fishing and hunting life, slavery. How much enjoyment can this life have? The level of productivity is completely inadequate.
Is the greed of the Jin people towards the Song State because the place south of the Great Wall is flat and easy to run?
Of course not. There was only one reason why the Jin State coveted the Song State. It's Song Guofu, there are countless good things, they have never seen it.
These things can't be made by the people of Jin Guo themselves, but they like them very much, and many of them are necessities of life, and they can't do without them - such as cigarettes.
That can only be robbed. These robbers even robbed toilet paper, aren't they poor scum.
It's no wonder that Zhao Gou looks down on him, he is telling the truth.
The truth was too hurtful, which made Jin Wushu almost beat Zhao Gou. Don't expose people! However, the next sentence of the Nine Emperors of the Great Song Dynasty completely dispelled the idea that Jin Wushu was going to run wild.
"I'm willing to give you a rich life."
"King Kang, what do you mean?"
"The fourth prince, what was robbed was robbed. When you run out of food, you still have to grab it. Now that my Great Song Dynasty has the advantage of firearms, if the Jin Kingdom wants to fight the Liao State as easily, I am afraid it will be impossible. β
What Zhao Gou means is that if you rob again, the cost will be too high.
"You mean selling?"
"Even if I'm willing to sell, do you have the money?" Zhao Gou once again gave Jin Wushu a critical hit.
The people of Jin are poor and don't even have money.
"And what do you mean?" The Golden Vulture was confused. This young Nine Emperor Prince, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
"I can give you a fortune!"
"Send? How to send? β
"You shouldn't ask me how to deliver it. Don't you care how rich I give you? β
"How old?"
"Bigger than the sky!" Speaking of this, Zhao Gou stretched out his finger, dipped some tea, and swiped casually in front of the table: "North of the Yangtze River, I am willing to give it to Jin Guo." β
Hearing this, Jin Wushu only felt that the sound of an RPG explosion suddenly sounded in his head. He almost had his head shattered.
Is this still human talk? Why did Zhao Gou want to give half of the Great Song Dynasty to Jin Guo.
He's crazy?
Jin Wushu looked at Zhao Gou like a fool, could it be that his previous opinion was wrong, this person looks shrewd, but he is actually a madman?
"What? Did the fourth prince think I was crazy? Zhao Gou laughed and continued: "Fourth prince, you said four words before: If I am the emperor!" β
As soon as Zhao Gou said this, Jin Wushu suddenly understood.
This kid is not crazy, on the contrary, he is more shrewd than anyone else.
He sent half of the Great Song to Jin Guo, which was conditional. The condition is that Jin Guo helps him Zhao Gou become the emperor!
The heart of the Golden Vulture was crackling and beating, and there was no rhythm.
Zhao Gou's surprise to him was too huge. This is not only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Jin Kingdom, but also deepens Jin Wushu's understanding of the Great Song Dynasty royal family by more than one layer - how can people be so shameless?
The Great Song Dynasty is Zhao Gou's ancestral inheritance, and he will give half of it out when he opens his mouth, are you worthy of your ancestors?
But Jin Wushu thought about it again, if Zhao Gou couldn't be the emperor, he would just be a prince in this life.
The great rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty have nothing to do with him. Now this Da Song is his father's, and in the future it will be his eldest brother's.
After that, it was his nephew. In short, it has nothing to do with him Zhao Gou.
If Jin Guo can really help Zhao Gou sit on the throne, even if there is only half of the country left, but this country belongs to him.
One bird in hand is better than many birds in the forest, this meaning is understood by the golden vultures.
Father has mother, it is better to have it yourself.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou had such a talent, and he really underestimated him before.
In comparison, he doesn't have Zhao Gou's domineering. With a wave of his hand, he gave away half of the country, what a luxury.
"King Kang, are you serious?"
"Absolutely."
"Do you dare to swear?"
"Why don't you dare?" Zhao Gou stared at Jin Wushu and said word by word: "If Jin Guo helps me become the emperor of the Song Kingdom, I will take the Yangtze River as the boundary." North of the Yangtze River, all belong to the Jin Kingdom, and I am only in the south of the Yangtze River for the rest of my life, and I am never more than half a step of the Yangtze River. The emperor is above, and Zhao Gou swears here, if there is a violation, he will cut off his children and grandchildren! β
"Then what if your generals don't listen to orders and want to cross the river to fight us?"
Such an ignorant person should not exist in the world. Have one, kill one! β
