Song Shi Mingyue Chapter 4386 Trouble in the Fourth Part of the Crazy Against the Heavens

At this time. ★ The Chinese network was updated quickly, and ★ artillery was also fired on the upper floor of the Liyuan wall. The dance in the garden immediately stopped. Pause. Cheng Zhu was wearing a first-class life suit. Led Chen Yi Kasri out of the Blue House. Walk towards the bridge across the river. King Lu saw it. Gently shaking the small fan and asked Zheng Juzhong: "Do you need to send someone to follow?" It's good to say that Zhao Liren: This king has arrived in Hangzhou. ”

Centering shook his head: "No need to report!" I went to the General Staff Headquarters the other day. It was discovered that there was a Military Intelligence Division under the General Staff Headquarters. Specializes in classified military intelligence. It is rumored that this is the "Yin and Yang Dao" of the Tang Dynasty. Dedicated to military intelligence. It is the so-called means of "knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy" in the ancient art of war.

I know a few of them, when the hundred officials in Beijing were dismissed. There are several faces that appear in Taixue. Instigated the students to rush into the temple. Resist the persecution of the ancestral tablet. These faces are now in the MIA. And I heard that they had already made trouble in the capital by the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Department. It was originally a graduation internship.

There are these people here. Zhao Li watched every move of the Nanyang Yamen. We don't need people to come there. Someone has reported the news... It's just that. Where does the prince plan to meet the prince? ”

King Lu pondered for a moment. He shook his fan and replied, "It's a common family meeting." It's better to be casual. Why don't you just be right here? ”

King Jane didn't have to wait long. Zhao Xing immediately brought the child over. Zhao Yun personally presented eight gifts to the emperor. Including arms and other jewelry. King Jian waved his hand. He immediately interjected and said, "This is the end of this ritual." I know you have a lot of money. Gifts were smashed over. We can't afford it. This is not an official family marrying a daughter. Emperor (Zhezong has passed away. Our brother can't come up with much money. Call it a day. That's it. ”

King Jane's words had a strong look of complaint in them. He is talking about Emperor Ji Changguo's marriage, and her father, Emperor Zhezong, has died. Then the successor Song Zong should bear the dowry of Chang. But Song Huizong had no heart and no lungs. Send your sister to Hangzhou. Never to be heard. It was the brother of King Jian who did it single-handedly. If Zhao Xing's gift is too thick. In order not to embarrass my sister. King Jane could only give everything he had. But the problem is that he is not an order of magnitude rich with Zhao Xing. Nowadays. Only Song Huizong can get rich with Xingdou.

Xing nodded calmly: "That's what I mean." We marry. Unlike the people, how can they be restrained by folk rituals. Since the matter of Changguo has been decided. In the future, it will be Chang Guk to live in Liyuanzhong. Let the emperor do whatever he wants. ”

King Lu nodded and replied, "That's exactly how it should be!" ”

Pause. King Jian asked again, "What is the situation in Luzon, Taishi?" ”

Rise up and bow your hands: "Since King Lu mentioned Luzon." I would like to congratulate King Lu on leaving Beijing to become a vassal ......"

King Jian narrowed his eyes: "That's it." I just listened to you arrange Ji. I'm wondering if I can arrange for me. It's remote. Legend has it that people who are plagued with dysentery there cannot return to their hometowns at the age of nineteen. I was trying to find an excuse to stay in the country. Target. You thought of this excuse for me. ”

King Jane is blind in one eye. He narrowed his eyes. The expression on his face was a little gloomy.

Originally. King Jian was also blind in one eye, so he was refused to succeed to the throne by Empress Dowager Xiang on this ground. There was an incident of a hundred officials boycotting the dynasty in Beijing. Song Huizong understood that the hundred officials had the meaning of abolishing the emperor. It's just that I haven't chosen a good successor yet. For this. He sent all his younger brothers overseas. The banner is "responding to Zhao Xing's feudal call".

King Jane didn't want to go. This era. People who have seen the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty are reluctant to go to the desolate Nanyang island. Be a lonely island owner. King Jian accompanied his sister to Hangzhou this time, on the one hand, to help his sister prepare for complete marriage, and on the other hand, to complete the entrustment of the clan. Pull Zhao Xing into the ranks of the imperial family. After these two tasks were completed, King Jian couldn't help but think about further establishing a relationship with Zhao Xing, the great warlord. Maybe he can go one step further......

Zhao Xing glanced at King Jian reproachfully. He said, "King Lu." After all, this dowry will not end until after the marriage. You shouldn't have said what you just said. ”

King Jian suddenly said: "Okay." When I didn't say anything. I live in Changguk. Let's take our time. ”

Song dynasty. The two men who do not marry immediately after the marriage. Every year is a lot of etiquette. For example, during the New Year's holidays, the woman's family sends the man's family to the man's family with colored oil and honey steamed cakes. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was called "honey and oil steamed cakes". The man sends flowers, buns, pins, gold hijabs, flower fans, pollen plates, painted colored thread fruits and other items. It's called "hypnotic". The woman's family went to the son-in-law's house to give a wine party. It's called "Warm Girl". The man's family sent a box of food and other things. This is called "shampooing......

Xing's words hinted at King Jane. That is, King Lu: Your sister is not married. How can you, the brother who gave the marriage, leave so easily? You shouldn't have reminded me to find a way to keep you. As soon as these words were spoken. Passed to the middle of the court. The meaning changed. I was able to keep the demoted &qot; at will. But you can't keep a prince at will. Because that's what it is. There will be people in the capital who are more careful.

The muscles on Dazai's face jumped. Seeing that Zhao Xing completely ignored his presence. Say such an obvious hint directly. He was a little upset. But what made him even more unhappy was King Lu's subsequent words. The bold prince continued: "I heard that the natives of Luzon are fierce. Since the king left Beijing. He often thought of recruiting a guard to protect the king's safety. Hangzhou was my last stop. If you go out of Hangzhou, you will go to sea.

I often heard in the capital that Taishi was good at training soldiers. This recruiting guard thing. The Taishi still has to worry a lot about this king...... I pondered. This king went to Luzon to take up the domain. How should I bring a fleet. Plus one is enough

。 ”

There was no time to stop in the center. Zhao Xing agreed quickly: "This matter is on me." Luzon has huge gold deposits. There is also a large amount of brass. It's a rich domain. It is more than enough to raise a fleet. The original meaning of Wechen. It is to feed an army on the production of Luzon. To deter the local domain. Keep the southern gate of my Nanyang. King Lu's proposal is exactly what I want. ”

The center couldn't help it. Reminder: "Taishi." This fleet could not set foot in Hangzhou. ”

The meaning of the center is: King Jian stayed in the country and did not leave. And recruit troops in Hangzhou. This is not in line with the position of the royal family. Zhao Xing agreed quickly. He didn't have time to stop it. But Zhao Xing must commit. His newly formed Luzon fleet did not set foot on the mainland of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Of course, of course......" Zhao Xing agreed absent-mindedly. He raised his hand and invited: "King Lu." Please go and sit in the garden, and the courtiers prepared a little thin wine. King Lu appreciation.

”

King Lu waved his hand disappreciably: "It's over." I don't have the leisure and elegance of my brother. You've just returned. I'm still busy with your business. I am also ripe for this garden. Just walk around. You don't have to worry about me. ”

glanced at Zheng Juzhong. Bow down and retire. Zheng Juzhong thought for a moment. also immediately said goodbye, and he chased Zhao Xing's traces all the way. Rushed to the Blue House. In the room, Hou Meng was waiting with a man dressed as an officer. The center endured and endured, and finally ignored the idler. opened his mouth to persuade: "Taishi." King Lu's request was a bit excessive. How did you respond? ”

Xing spread his hands kindly: "What can I do if I shouldn't." Luzon Island is under the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, and if this prince does not bring a single guard, he will go to Luzon to become a vassal. Isn't it my business if something happens? ”

Juzhong shook his head: "You know that's not what I'm talking about?" ”

Xing nodded: "I know what you're talking about." But you don't need to worry...... Come on, come on. I'll introduce you to it. This is Hou Meng of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. This is Liu Zhong, the former pacification envoy of Huainan West Road, I don't admire this guy's skills, but I admire his means of giving birth to a son. This guy has ten sons. Good boys. ”

Taken aback in the middle. Immediately: "Liu appeased." Are you out of prison? ”

Liu Zhongwu was a little twisted. Tightly explained: "The lower official is here." He came to ask the Grand Master for his ordnance. ”

Liu Zhongwu's defense was pale and weak, Zheng Juzhong shook his head and expressed disbelief, and Hou Meng hurriedly explained to him: "Liu Anfu is here to seek understanding. Why the same Qin soldiers. Why the same musket. to the enemy in the hands of the Taishi. And Liu Anfu was defeated by a few rebels armed with bamboo poles? ”

Liu Zhongwu's existence. Originally, it was the imperial court to guard against Zhao Xing. The imperial court placed him in Huaixi. On the one hand, it is to monitor Qin Guan and others in Huaidong. On the other hand, it was to prevent Zhao Xing from using the old two again to cross Huaixi and enter Yangzhou to threaten the canal. Such a character has suddenly arrived at Zhaoxing Castle now, which can't help but make Zheng Juzhong a little discouraged. Although Meng and Liu Zhongwu both tried their best to explain Zheng Juzhong's sad feelings: "The imperial court can't hold people." Look at the people sitting here. One is the real director of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. One is the Huaixi pacification envoy. It was originally used as a means to restrain Zhao Liren. Now it's all about his secret deliberations. ”

Hou Meng is still defending: "Liu Anfu was imprisoned for the defeat of the army. I haven't had time to get to the capital yet. I stopped me. Later, the court approved my recital. Liu was allowed to appease Dai and make meritorious contributions. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with the Nanyang Affairs Bureau......"

Speaking of which. Hou Meng turned his face to Zhao Xing. If there is nothing to do, he said, "Leave people." Your Nanyang Affairs Bureau is now open to the firearms trade. But you should also restrain the object of trade. Our Beiyang Affairs Bureau is cracking down on bandits in Jingdong. Encountered bandits armed with a large number of muskets. Now the bandits are better equipped than the official army. What kind of world is this? ”

Xing smiled: "They can't be better equipped than the officers and soldiers." The officers and soldiers are now armed with fast guns. The private musket trade sold flintlock muskets. This musket is slow to reload. It is slightly more powerful than a bow and arrow. In fact. As long as the party is dang. Soldiers armed with bows and arrows can defeat flintlock pistols. ”

Hou Meng pondered for a moment: "Rain." You mean to take advantage of the rain to attack?! ”

Xing nodded: "That's right." Flintlock barrel maintenance is cumbersome. Usually wipe the chamber of the gun constantly. Prevents growth and corrosion. Even if the bandits get their hands on this musket. Just slack off a little. This gun is used. It's not as good as bow and arrow insurance. One takes advantage of the big once. After the rain stopped. Gunpowder must be damp. And baking gunpowder is a technical job. It is impossible for the bandits to fully grasp it. After heavy rains. A flintlock without gunpowder is a sheep to the slaughter. Officers and men with a large number of men cannot overcome them. That's your problem. Not a problem with my musket. ”

Hou Meng shook his head. Zheng Juzhong said: "Even so. But the people can easily buy a large number of muskets. This is also not true. In this dynasty, bows and crossbows were strictly controlled. It seems that muskets should also be brought under control this time. ”

Xing raised a finger: "You two don't have the mentality to ask me about you." There are many law-abiding people in this dynasty. Or are there many bandits who dare to take risks? ”

Liu Zhongwu interjected coldly: "Of course, there are many law-abiding people. Wang Jinggong changed the law. Millions of homeless people were ruined by officials. How many have picked up sticks? ”

It is not surprising that Liu Zhongwu said this. The Beiyang Bureau was the sphere of influence of the old party. Houmeng is a hard old party. The old party did not treat Wang Anshi as politely as Zhao Xing. As soon as they came up, they scolded directly. Liu Zhongwu has a good relationship with Hou Meng. Naturally, he was a member of the old party. He didn't open his mouth to scold Wang Anshi

You're welcome.

Xing immediately replied, "That's right. The deployment of this force has always been virtual inside and outside. Lay out powerful border armies in all directions. And in the government of the country. There are no more than fifteen foot archers in one county. Such an arrangement is already Wangxian. The small county simply can't afford to raise fifteen foot archers. This has been the case for 200 years. Although there were rebellions from time to time. However, the stability of the four borders shows that there are far more law-abiding people than bandits who take risks.

Two people. Please put your mindset right. Don't think of the people as potential bandits and worry about them getting armed. Most of the people bought fire and went home. It's not about taking risks. As a matter of fact. If the people have enough weapons in their hands to defend themselves. So where are the bandits criss-crossing? Therefore, it is not terrible for the people to have muskets in their hands, and even for the bandits to have muskets in their hands. They are, after all, a minority. ”

Liu Zhongwu is a native of Qin. He appreciated Zhao Xingchong's statement. With a gloomy face, he slowly reminded: "The Lantian Convention, I am the Blue Convention promoted by the Luo Party. Let the villagers be self-disciplined. Taishi once implemented this strategy in Huanqing, so that ordinary people could also buy bows and crossbows at will. After the implementation of this policy. The commune parties organized. From then on, Western Xia did not dare to enter Huanqing. None of them. The people of Huanqing shouted. Everyone is a crossbowman.

”

Hou Meng fell into deep thought, and he said as he thought: "Is Yi still in Hangzhou?" It seems that I was going to ask him about the details of the Lantian Convention. Let's see if we can also promote self-defense of neighbors in the west of Beijing. And so it goes. How dare the bandits cross the village at will! ”

Zheng Juzhong also remembered Liu Zhong's words just now. He asked curiously, "What's going on with the Huaixi Rebellion?" I heard that tens of thousands of prolific soldiers were armed with muskets. was shocked by the defeat of the mountain bandits? How can it be defeated? ”

Liu Zhongwu moved his lips. Long. Answer: "This is exactly one thing that this official does not understand. I ask for too much confusion. ”

Xing gave a thumbs up: "Good man." I thought you'd put all the blame on the damn Gao Yongnian. I didn't expect you to be too good for him. Very good...... Come with me. ”

Xing took Liu Zhongwu and Hou Meng to the training ground on the east side of the fort. This training ground is the square where Zhao Xing practiced the technique that he saw in the original chapter. Now he has expanded a little bit and added a ramp that still = momentum at the shooting training range. A number of training facilities similar to military pentathlon have been built. Zhao Xing stood in front of the training ground and stood in front of two columns. One column is the troop brought by Liu Zhongwu. One column is Zhao Xing's guards.

Liu Zhongwu's Qin troops wore bronze face armor. The soldiers were solemn. Not even a single one panting loudly. The hot weather baked the face nails very hot. Beads of sweat from the soldier's face trickled down the side of his visor. They got wet at their feet. But none of the soldiers reached out to wipe their sweat. They stood straight. The whole team showed a fierce way.

See you in the center. Thumbs up and praise: "Strong soldiers." The world's strongest soldiers. I heard that the Qin soldiers were tough. Even Lord Taiwei likes to use Qin soldiers. This Qin soldier is the one who protected Liu Anfu and broke out of the encirclement? It's tough! ”

The center is finished. Look back at Zhao Xing's pro-soldier team. He pursed his lips. Didn't speak.

Relative to the solemnity of the Qin soldiers. Zhao Xing's guards were very scattered. They didn't wear face armor. So the soldiers didn't stand up. Standing there crookedly. Although the whole team can still see the formation. But they are lazy sons. Who looked pouted.

Xing's pro-soldier team members are very mixed. There were samurai from the Goryeo kingdom. There are also Gurkha mercenaries. There is also Guangxi Li Renbai. and the natives of the South Seas...... Of course. Most of them were Qin soldiers brought by Zhao Xing from Huanqing. The same is Qin Bing. They are very strong, though. But standing in Zhao Xing's guards. How do you look like a scoundrel.

Xing's guards were originally equipped with face armor. It was later canceled. Because it's too expensive. The cost of making a set of delicate face armor is already equivalent to a handcuff. And Zhao Xing is a person who pursues perfection. The kind of shoddy nails. He also did not want to be equipped in his own well-equipped army.

The Song people still maintained the fashion of equipping the guards with face armor. In the Southern Song Dynasty. The two famous anti-Jin generals, Han Shizhong and Zhang, both like to match their own soldiers with face armor. Han Shizhong matched his soldiers with bronze armor. Zhang is equipped with iron armor. At that time, the folk song sang: "Han Huai'an has a copper face." Zhang Jiankang (today's South Iron Noodles. ”

The "iron mask" mentioned in the Song Dynasty is not the "iron mask" of the iron mask and selflessness. The "iron face" in the Song Dynasty meant that it had been drilled into the eyes of money. Because in the Song Dynasty, there were shoddy iron coins. Therefore, to say that a person has an iron face does not mean that this person has a selfless spirit. Rather, it means that this man only knows money for what he does.

So. "Iron-faced selfless" means in the Song Dynasty, and this person speaks very well. Very selfless. In fact, it was the coffin that reached out and asked for money.

Liu Zhongwu's personal soldiers were matched with a bronze face. You also say. No matter what serious expressions the soldier makes. It's not as hideous as a copper face. Hideous copper face. With the soldier's immovable copper face. Let Hou Meng and others like it. On the other hand, Zhao Xing's soldiers. Hou Meng shook his head in disbelief. sighed and said, "Master." You won't take this army all over the South Seas? ”

Xing walked up to Liu Zhongwu's personal soldiers. With a wave of his finger, he pointed to obstacles such as pommel horses in the field. Sharply ordered: "All." Walking in steps. Start jumping obstacles. ”
