Chapter Fifty-Six: The Tsar Is Forced to Submit The New Song Shakes the Kiln
Count Petrov returned to Moscow and immediately asked for a secret meeting with the Tsar.
The tsar has been hanging in the air, hoping that Count Petrov will bring him good news, because the situation in the direction of Ukraine is not good, and it seems that the Ottoman Empire is bound to Ukraine this time. The tsar has already moved all the troops he can mobilize in the direction of Ukraine.
The Tsar's bodyguards led Count Petrov into a secret room in the Kremlin, and then the guards went out and closed the door.
Count Petrov suddenly felt very depressed in this secret room, which was dimly lit. However, before he could recover his senses, the door of the secret room suddenly opened, and the Tsar hurriedly walked in, "Hard work! Count Petrov, I hope you can bring me back good news! ”
Count Petrov quickly got up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Tsar! I've brought you back news, mixed blessings. That's why we're asking to see you in secret! ”
"Oh! Count Petrov, sit down and talk! The Tsar said as he sat down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Tsar!"
After the guards had closed the door, the Tsar said: "Count Petrov, tell me the results of your trip!" ”
Count Petrov said: "Your Majesty, the situation is very bad! We sent to the Far East to the Cossacks, it was just too much. In the Far East, they not only burned, killed, looted, but also captured and killed people. ”
As soon as Count Petrov spoke of the Cossacks, who had been arrested and killed, the tsar quickly took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth, almost not spitting out what he had eaten for dinner.
Count Petrov, seeing that his words had a better effect than expected, continued: "This greatly angered the great power of the Far East. Your Majesty, Honorable Tsar, when I was drinking with the Ming generals, I knew from their conversations that they are a vast country with a population of tens of millions, and their strength is really too strong. The troops they sent to the Ural Mountains this time were hundreds of thousands. ”
"Hundreds of thousands?" The tsar was clearly not convinced.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Count Petrov said, "Their general drank too much and said." He also said that this time their court asked them to fight to Moscow to take revenge! ”
"What? These stupid things, they still want to hit Moscow? The Tsar stood up angrily.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are angry! Hear me out! Count Petrov got up and said.
The Tsar sat down angrily and said, "Count Petrov, don't be verbose, pick the key points!" ”
Count Petrov hurriedly sat down, "Okay, Your Majesty Tsar! I also learned this time why our army has no resistance in the face of them. ”
"Hmmm! Let's talk about it, why was our army so easily annihilated by them? "The Tsar wanted to know too much about it.
"Not only are there hundreds of thousands of people coming from the Ming army this time, but they also have very powerful firearms, which are cannons that our cannons can't compare with and muskets that can be fired continuously! For this reason, I made a special request to see our captured officers and soldiers, and I confirmed this through their mouths. We don't want to go to war with them if we're not prepared! ”
The tsar was cold behind his back and said, "But they are going to Moscow!" ”
"Yes! , but the general of their Ming army, with his army all the way from the easternmost sea in the Far East, killed countless Mongols all the way to this place, and he really didn't want to fight. He told me privately that he wanted to take his army and camp down on this side of the Ural Mountains, so that he could give the emperor an explanation! ”
"Hmm!" The Tsar nodded, "I don't like disloyal people, but I want to hear what they want!" ”
After the foreshadowing was done, Count Petrov said that Jiang was going to mention.
As Count Petrov expected, the Tsar, after listening to his words, suddenly jumped up, "Bold!" Count Petrov, how dare you bring such a request back! ”
Count Petrov also stood up and said, "Your Majesty! Of course, I will sternly refuse their requests, but I can only bring them back! I calmly thought about it, should we pay some price to stabilize the direction of the Urals, or wait for their army to come and we will fight them in a decisive battle? This kind of thing needs to be considered by His Majesty! ”
"Humph! You've been drinking with someone, have you been bribed? "The tsar turned his anger on Count Petrov.
The scheming Count Petrov had already thought of this, "If I hadn't endured the humiliation and had more contact with them, and came back after a quarrel, how could I have learned so much." After speaking, Count Petrov took out a flashlight and a box of tea, "Your Majesty, this is a gift from their general to you!" ”
"They're trying to buy me with these things?" The tsar's anger had not subsided, but his eyes never took off the gift that Count Petrov was holding.
Seeing the Tsar's greedy gaze, Count Petrov quickly picked up the flashlight and pressed it, and a pillar of light passed through the dim room illuminated by the oil lamp, forming a dazzling white spot on the wall. The Tsar immediately took the flashlight and shone it around, "Oops! Count Petrov, what is this amazing thing? ”
"It's a flashlight," said Count Petrov, "Your Majesty, there are no oil lamps and candles in their great hall anymore, but a long thing called an electric lamp. It was so bright that I had just entered their hall and my eyes were not adapting. ”
"It's like this flashlight, only bigger?" The tsar asked.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Count Petrov said, "With electric lights, there is no smoke at all, and it is very bright." ”
"Can this electric light fight a war?" The tsar asked.
"We can't fight, but it shows that our opponents are very smart, and I want to be very careful with them!" In this way, Count Petrov will be ready on his way back.
"Hmmm! Yes, Count Petrov, you are quite right! After saying that, his eyes fell on the other box in Count Petrov's hand, "What kind of treasure is that?" ”
"It's a magical green tea!" Count Petrov said, opening the lid of the tea box and handing it to the Tsar. The Tsar took it, saw the green tea leaves, and sniffed them with his nose, "Oops! What a good tea! I've drunk a lot of green tea before, but it doesn't smell like that. Count Petrov, different tea brews are not the same. Have you learned how to brew tea? ”
"Your Majesty, this is the best Longjing tea that is not easy to buy in the Ming Dynasty. Of course I'm going to learn how to brew it! Said Count Petrov.
"Good! Let's talk about this annoying thing while tasting the best green tea! "The Tsar can't wait to taste the tea.
The servants brought exquisite tea sets, and Count Petrov brewed Longjing tea with water at 80 degrees Celsius, according to what Jiang inlay had taught him. It's just that when I washed the tea, the room was already full of tea fragrance.
The tsar said: "The Oriental people are simply amazing, we really can't take them lightly." ”
Count Petrov poured a cup of turquoise tea into the Tsar's glass teacup, the Tsar took the teacup and sniffed it, took a sip, tasted it slowly, closed his eyes for a while, and opened them again, "We really can't fight with the Ming Dynasty, this is a magical country." Anyone who can create so many amazing things must be extremely smart people! ”
"The only regret is that the place they asked for is too big, it's a big place!" Count Petrov looked at the tsar and said.
"Hmmm! Cut my flesh the same. The Tsar put down the cup in his hand and said, "But we don't give it to others, waiting for someone to rob it, and that person will rob more than that!" ”
Count Petrov knew that the Tsar had agreed to the demands of the Ming army, "Your Majesty, this is why we want to see you secretly. I'm afraid that those adults will oppose it now! ”
"Count Petrov, you are doing very right! This gives us time to make the right decision! "The Tsar is very clever," but you must first keep this matter a secret, and take advantage of the good relations you have established with them to find a way to buy some firearms from them. If they sell us firearms, we can say to the adults that we are allies, and that we have paid for a piece of the wilderness in exchange for our military superiority over the Ottoman Empire. Wouldn't that be better? ”
"Your Majesty is so wise!" Count Petrov said, "But I'm afraid that the Ming army will not agree!" ”
"What do you like about the general you met, beauty? Silver? ”
"He's a real soldier, he doesn't seem to have those hobbies?"
"Real soldiers?" The Tsar said, "Well, go back as soon as possible, give him my precious sword, and ask him how he can do it!" Tell him what he wants. After we sign, we can also trade on the other side of the Ural Mountains. So they get many, many benefits. ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, I'll get ready and go back right away! Count Petrov agreed.
"I'm sorry to have you going back and forth in the coldest of times," said the Tsar, "but for the sake of great Russia, you have to work hard!" ”
"No, Your Majesty, it's my honor to take on this important responsibility!" Count Petrov went out after saluting the Tsar.
The Tsar also immediately took a flashlight and tea leaves, and walked to the back, he was going to show these novelties to the beauties of the harem.
The Yaogang Command Center also very much supported Jiang Jian's proposal to rely on the Ural Mountains to occupy some land with good conditions to the west as much as possible. In fact, with Jiang Zhu and their force, it is not difficult to directly enter Moscow. But what if you hit it? The most is like Genghis Khan, who ruled the Russians for a period of time, and when the conditions changed, the people became independent again. Everyone still agrees with Zhang Zhimu's opinion, and it is best to choose a reasonable boundary that is easy to garrison. The north-south Ural Mountains are the best east-west border.
Regarding such a thing, Zhang Zhimu just had a general understanding and didn't care. Ouyang He was particularly interested in the establishment of direct shipping routes in the Hami and Ural Mountains, and personally grasped this matter, and within the end of the New Year, he sent a telegram to Ningde asking them to pay attention to this matter. What happened later showed that Ouyang He's decision was still very wise.
Zhang Zhimu convened a symposium for scientific and technological workers. At the meeting, Zhang Zhimu quickly shifted the topic to the live TV broadcast of this year's Spring Festival Gala. This is a topic that everyone is very interested in, because the Spring Festival Gala is the first live broadcast this year, and everyone's excitement has not passed. Zhang Zhimu was also very enthusiastic, and said to Qingfengzi: "Master Qingfengzi, I will give you a task from this year, everyone is not satisfied with black and white TV, and they all want to see color TV programs." I think there's something you need to get out of first. That's colored phosphor. If you do color films, you all know that color can be reproduced through three primary colors. Then we can also reproduce colors with phosphors that emit three primary colors. ”
Qingfengzi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't say it, when we were doing experiments, we had found that there were several materials that could emit different light. However, if you want to find the phosphor of the three primary colors, you need to try it slowly. ”
Actually, Zhang Zhimu can't remember what the material of the three primary color phosphors is, when he took a TV principle class, that is, he listened to it, and he couldn't remember it at all, "I think that blue and green phosphor, you can add some zinc sulfide to add some different elements such as silver, chlorine, copper, aluminum, etc., according to different proportions of experiments, that red seems to use yttrium oxide and something, you have to try." I can't tell you how much it is. ”
Yang Chang asked: "Are we going to start developing color cameras?" ”
However, Yang Chang's words attracted a burst of laughter, and everyone knew that he was asking nonsense.
Zhang Zhimu laughed with everyone for a while and said, "You are duty-bound to do this!" I'll make a time to discuss with you about the color camera solution! However, you've got to break through the VCR this year. This is a major event that has a bearing on whether or not our television industry can continue to move forward. ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang! If they don't solve this problem this year, I think they should jump off the building themselves! Yang Chang said with certainty, Zhang Zhimu could see that Yang Chang was still very confident.
"I can't say that, we are all engaged in scientific research, scientific and technological things, and at a certain time, we often get stuck there when we are almost there, and we often trip people with a small stone! We must hurry up in everything, but we must not rush. When you are in a hurry, your mood is unstable, and you are prone to chaos, and you often have to start all over again. Therefore, in terms of scientific research, as long as you do your best, I will never force you! ”
Zhang Zhimu's words made these people engaged in scientific research feel warm. They also all know that Zhang Zhimu really did his best to support scientific research. Now they are doing a lot of things, and they can't see the benefits at all, but Zhang Zhimu is investing a lot of money to support them to do it. Especially Qingfengzi, many basic things they engaged in took up a lot of manpower and financial resources, but Zhang Zhimu resolutely supported them to carry it out.
Yaogang is now full of talents, and many things are no longer worried about Zhang Zhimu, Zhang Zhimu spends more time on these scientific research, and then on students.
There are several colleges in Yaogang, and if you want to say that you are active in thought, you still have to count Yaogang College. Yaogang College not only has strong teachers, but also teachers and students are active, which Zhang Zhimu likes very much. Even so, Zhang Zhimu still feels that the teachers and students of the Academy still have a lot of frameworks in their thinking, the most obvious thing is that they are willing to find a basis from the past classics no matter what, or use it to confirm it. Respecting the classics of the past does not mean that everything depends on the classics of the past.
The students who didn't go home during the holiday at Yaogang College wanted to hold a theatrical evening and invited Xiao Hongyu to participate. Xiao Hongyu pulled Zhang Zhimu up again. This makes the Yaogang College Gala very high-grade. Teachers and students know that Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu will definitely bring a lot of programs to everyone, especially new songs.
In the past, Zhang Zhimu brought most of the classics sung by Teresa Teng and others in his previous life. This time, Zhang Zhimu ignored Xiao Hongyu's opposition and wanted to sing a few songs for everyone, which was simply a shocking song in this era. Zhang Zhimu's purpose is to let teachers and students broaden their thinking, and singing should not be limited to a certain content and style.
At the concert of Yaogang College, the radio station knew that Xiao Hongyu and Zhang Zhimu participated, and they also rushed over to broadcast it live. Many celebrities in Yaogang are also trying to find connections to participate. Princess Anping, Princess Changping, and Princess Chaoyang followed Xiao Hongyu directly to the Yaogang Academy Club. The students of the academy knew that Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu had come to their party today, and they performed one by one, working extra hard.
The first school in Yaogang is really not in vain, and the programs performed by teachers and students are not even applauded by the very picky little Hongyu. Of course, the ** of the party is still Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu performing on stage.
This time, Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu played and sang to everyone with electric guitars.
When he came to the stage, Zhang Zhimu waved to the teachers and students who applauded warmly, and the applause stopped. Zhang Zhimu said: "Every time I am with everyone, I feel a lot younger! ”
"Even!" There was a cheer below, followed by a round of applause.
The applause stopped again, and Zhang Zhimu said: "I bring a few new songs to the young students today, I hope you can open up your thinking, and I also hope that you can know that the world is inherently colorful." This is true of music, and so should everything we face, everything must be eclectic. I hope that our teachers and students will further emancipate their minds and create richer spiritual and material wealth! ”
Again, the applause rang out.
Zhang Zhimu said: "The first song I sang to everyone was "I am a wolf from the north". ”
After Zhang Zhimu finished speaking, there was silence below. Zhang Zhimu knew that the teachers and students did not expect such a song, and they would sing it in such a large court.
Before everyone could react, the electric guitar in Zhang Zhimu's hand had already sounded with the band behind him.
Zhang Zhimu sang in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I am a wolf from the north, walking in the endless wilderness. A terrible north wind blew, and a long yellow sand swept by. I could only grit my cold teeth and let out two long howls. Not for anything else, but for the legendary beautiful grassland............."
There has never been such a song in this world, and the teachers and students were immediately attracted by Zhang Zhimu's desolate singing. The princesses, like many of the students, excitedly put their hands on their chests.
After singing the song, for a long time, the teachers and students have not yet come out of the singing, and finally someone's applause reminds everyone that the song is finished! More applause rang out. Xiao Hongyu didn't want Zhang Zhimu to sing such a somewhat deviant song, but now she also applauded excitedly.
Zhang Zhimu's second song is a very sensational "Tick".
"Tick tick, time keeps turning.
Tick tick, light rain he slapped the water.
…
…
”
With the sound of ticking and ticking, a cappella came out, although it was very soft, but the tear-jerking effect was too powerful. The song is the softest place in people's hearts. Many teachers and students listened to this song while wiping their tears.
After a "***", Zhang Zhimu sang "The Wolf Falls in Love with the Sheep" to everyone.
The teachers and students below heard Zhang Zhimu say: "The song is called "Wolf Loves Sheep"! Straight into exchange for a burst of laughter. Today's people really can't accept this "wolf falls in love with sheep" thing.
But as the music sounded, a hoarse voice sang, "The north wind is blowing, the snow is fluttering, and suddenly a gunshot is heard, and the wolf is seriously injured." But he narrowly escaped, and it was a sheep that saved him. Since then, they have agreed to live three lives, and they have complained bitterly. The wolf said dear, thank you for healing me, no matter how many storms there are in the future, I will fight for you......."
The audience below was once again drawn into the mood of the song, and many people began to wipe their tears.
Zhang Zhimu then sang songs with strong tear-jerking effects such as "My Old Father" and "This Person is the Mother".
Xiao Hongyu then sang "Am I the Person You Love the Most", "Moonlight in the City", "Crying Sand"
The teachers and students applauded continuously, and Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu sang the song "Heart Rain" again.
These songs with a strong tear-jerking effect are too straightforward in this era, in fact, not only the teachers, students and guests at the scene shed a lot of tears. I don't know how many people who listened to the radio wept.
When Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu returned home, their cousin muttered: "Now people and lovers can't go out to say, you are good, and you also sang about the wolf and the sheep." You see, tomorrow the whole kiln will talk about it. ”
Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu smiled and didn't speak, and Huang Yukun also said, "You are all the oldest, and you still sing such unspeakable songs, it's true!" ”
"Oops! I see tears in the corners of your eyes, didn't you cry when you listened to our songs? Zhang Zhimu really saw that Huang Yukun was in tears.
"Humph! You're singing songs that make people cry! My cousin muttered.
Before the family stopped, the emperor called.
