Chapter 1059: War and Peace – The Four Truths
"Jieshuai, what are those on the earthen platform?"
"That's the truth! The Four Truths of a Family! ”
"Truth!?"
"What for?"
"It's used to reason with the defenders in the city of Xijin Prefecture!"
"Reasonable? Will they listen? ”
"Yes! They'll be listening this time! ”
"Will it?"
"Yes! It's time to get started! ”
"Boom ......"
Outside the city of Xijin Mansion, a cannon sounded that shook the mountain, announcing the arrival of the era of hot weapons, and also telling the whole world a truth - truth will eventually triumph over falsehood! As in history, the truth of positivism and rationalism has triumphed over the fallacy of the astray way, and it has been devastated!
If truth does not triumph over falsehood for the time being, it only shows that more, bigger, stronger truth is needed!
Originally, Wu Haogu was going to tear down a section of the city wall of Xijin Mansion on the third day after arriving at the camp in Hejian. But later, Brother Zhao Zhong looked at the test cannon and felt that these four cannons were a good thing to convince people with virtue, so he proposed to postpone the demolition of the city, so as to invite the representatives of all the families in Yandi to watch the truth triumph over falsehood.
Because the previous negotiations with the Yandi families were not very smooth, these local tyrants of Yandi knew that Wu Haogu was rich, so they opened their mouths and wanted to make a big mistake. Not only the territory, but also the money! The requirements put forward by each family are added together, at least 20 million!
Wu Haogu is not a big wrongdoer, how can he give so much?
And in this world, there is also the truth of "fighting Mien, promoting Mi hatred". Once those Yandi tyrants think that Wu Haogu's money is blown by the strong wind, they can use it at will, and this Yandi will not be easy to manage in the future.
Therefore, Wu Haogu did not agree to such a local tyrant's request, but chose to be reasonable and truthful!
After the representatives of the various families in Yandi arrived, Wu Haogu took them to the outside of Yanjing City, and reasoned behind the four forts.
As soon as this truth came out, the earth shook and the mountains shook!
Wu Haogu is okay, although he has never seen the real cannon roar in his later life, but on the screen, he has seen a hundred times more popular than this, and he has long been mentally prepared.
But the people around him, except for Zhao Zhongge, Murong Parrot and others, who had seen the test two days ago, everyone else was all startled, and they thought that there was thunder somewhere, but when they looked up, the sky was clear!
And then, there was a loud rumbling bang in succession!
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to find that it was Wu Haogu's "truth" roaring. The four "truths" roared in turn, spitting fire, and they all looked "true"!
"Hit!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Someone cheered again. It was a group of cannon casting craftsmen who followed Huang Zhisheng back from Shamen Island and shouted.
Because they didn't forge the field cannon that Wu Haogu wanted, they haven't gotten the prize yet. However, Wu Haogu is also reasonable, and he has already let go, as long as the four "truth cannons" can tear down the city walls of Yanjing City, the two artisan groups of cannon casters can get a bonus of 100,000 yuan.
Moreover, they will also get the investment of Wu Haogu! The two groups of gunsmiths each received an investment of 1 million yuan to set up two cannon casting bureaus, of which 50 percent of the shares were owned by these craftsmen. In the future, the two artillery casting bureaus will continue to work on the production and design of cannons.
These craftsmen, who were personally involved in the development and production of the "Truth Cannon", could not have been more aware of the military value of the cannon.
This is an epoch-making weapon! In the future, there will definitely be a huge market, so the two artillery casting bureaus will also have a lot of money, and as their shareholders, it will be difficult to make a fortune.
So these craftsmen (many of them are also graduates of Yuntai Academy), they all craned their necks and looked at the city wall facing the muzzle. When they saw a few scenes of dust and rubble suddenly appearing on the city wall, they knew that the cannonballs had hit the city wall, so they all cheered.
What does it mean to hit?
A group of Yandi soil buns didn't react until the second round of artillery sounded, and four iron balls spit out from the cannon mouth hit the south wall of Yanjing City, and no one reacted.
"Jie Shuai, this, this is the truth?"
Wu Haogu, who was riding on a tall Tianjin horse, laughed, "That's right! That's the truth of a certain family! There is only one place in the world! Even Kaifeng Mansion has no such reason! What do you think? Those guys in Yanjing City, are they willing to listen to a certain reason? ”
It turned out that Wu Haogu was not only in contact with Yandi Haoqiang outside Yanjing City, but also negotiating with people in the city - in fact, there were a group of people inside and outside the city, and Yanjing City was the biggest bargaining chip in their hands, of course they wanted to sell it for a good price.
If Wu Hao Guken gives 20 million, then the Yan Di Haoqiang in Yanjing City will launch an armed uprising, cooperate with Wu Haogu's army, and eliminate more than 10,000 Khitan waste (waste wood among the Khitan people) in Yelu Liduo. If Wu Haogu refuses to pay, then they will keep dragging their ......
originally thought that Wu Haogu, a big guy, could not do anything about them, and Yelu Yanxi was approaching Kaifeng Mansion, so in the end he could only pay obediently. But they forgot that Wu Haogu was still a great Confucian who was very good at convincing people with reason!
And there is a unique truth!
……
When the "truth" roared, the capital commander army in the city of Xijin Prefecture, who stayed behind in Nanjing, was listening to the reports of several high-ranking monks about the "daytime thundering incident".
The so-called daytime thundering incident was actually Wu Haogu's artillery testing the artillery, and each of the four "truth cannons" sprayed a few cannons, which sounded like thunder. There were also many people in the city of Xijin Prefecture who heard about it, and they didn't understand what was going on, so various legends began to exist.
In this clear sky, how can the sky thunder and split? There must be a demon at work! Maybe there is a "thunder demon" in the Song army camp outside the city, or it may be a demon who can release thunder!
Wu Haogu, the commander of the Song State Xuanshuai who unified the Northern Expedition of the Northern Expedition, is said to be a saint, oh, it should be a demon-level Confucian-the people who praised Wu Haogu as a saint are all disciples of the Confucian positivist school or the doctor of the doctoral group, and the "Tianli Sect" that spread on the territory of the birth of a girl also praised Wu Haogu as a saint. However, in the city of Xijin Prefecture, where Buddhism is dominant, a group of Khitan monks will not say good things about Wu Haogu, and they all say that Wu Haogu is a demon who confuses the public......
Since it was the demon who led the troops, it is not surprising that he would use the demon method!
Yelu Liduo is also a disciple of the Buddha, and naturally regards Wu Haogu as a demon. Therefore, after the "Thundering Incident in the Day", he immediately invited the senior monks in Yanjing City to investigate. See what kind of demon magic it is? And what is the way to crack it.
But the problem is that the monks of the Liao State are actually not very high, and they don't know much about the philosophy of Buddhism, and they are basically the way of Zen Buddhism's "epiphany".
Therefore, there is no way to understand the true meaning of Wu Haogu's "demon law", otherwise they would not call Wu Haogu a "demon man".
Since it's a demon, of course you have to find a way to subdue the demon. However, it is not struck with a golden hoop, but by chanting. There is just a high monk in Yanjing City, the layman's name is Yelu Dabei Nu, the law name is dustless, he once went to Qingtang City to study, and he has practiced "The Spell of King Fudo Ming", "The Curse of Vajrasattva" and "The Mantra of Lengyan", and also defeated the monks of the Song Dynasty many times in the dialectic. Moreover, he also went to Jiehe Shang City many times to find Wu Hao's ancient dialectic, but he didn't meet the main master.
This time, I finally have the opportunity to compete with Wu Haogu's "truth"!
"Master Wuchen, now that the martial demon is releasing the demon law again, please master take action immediately to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon!"
Hearing the continuous rumbling sound, the original Yelu Liduo didn't say a word, so he invited the first monk in the city, the presiding monk of Huayan Temple in Xijin Prefecture, to come out.
"Then the poor monk will go through this way!" The dustless monk who was born with a good skin that was white and chubby did not shirk it, and agreed to go out immediately.
He can be a member of the Great Liao Imperial Family! If you don't become a monk, there is no problem with being crowned a county king. Even if he left home, he couldn't watch Da Liao be defeated by Wu Haogu, a demon and Buddha enemy.
Now the military situation is urgent, so this monk in his forties and with high prestige in Yanjing City did not delay, and immediately took his disciple and Yelu Liduo to Kaiyangmen in Yanjing City.
Kaiyang Gate is one of the two city gates to the south of Yanjing City, and the other is the Danfeng Gate leading to Yanjing Palace. Because the wall of Danfeng Gate is to protect the palace city, it is relatively strong and thick. Zhao Zhongge, who had long been familiar with the defense of Yanjing City, chose a relatively thin section of the city wall near Kaiyang Gate as the object of the "truth cannon" bombardment.
When Yelu Liduo and the dustless monk arrived at the Kaiyang Gate, not only the roar of the earth shaking the mountains continued, but also a large number of Jingzhou soldiers and Khitan soldiers guarding the city were rushing down the stairs near the Kaiyang Gate in a panic.
Yelu Liduo was also frightened when he saw this scene, and the defenders of the city were all fleeing! Could it be that the Song army has already captured the city?
How good is that?
This old marshal of the Liao State, who participated in the War to pacify Mogus in the early years, has long been exhausted, and when he saw that something was wrong, his face turned pale at that time, and he also restrained his war horse and did not dare to move forward.
Yuan Sui, who was still from the Anfu Army in Zhenzhou, had the courage to go forward and grab a Han officer from the Jingzhou Army, and dragged him to Yelu Liduo.
"All of them, all of them are in command, and the small ones don't want to run away!" The Han officer also trembled when he saw Yelu Liduo, and immediately explained, "The little one is because the city wall is about to collapse, so he took his brothers down so as not to fall to his death......"
"What? What did you say? The walls are coming down!? Jerodori almost fell off his horse, "How is this possible?" How could it collapse? ”
"It's the demon law of the Song people." He gestured with his hand to a huge circle, "The four-heel pipe is as thick as a four-heel pipe, and it is spraying thunder against the city wall!" As soon as the thunder went down, the mountains shook, and only the masonry and mud fell on the city wall, and the rammed earth of hundreds of years was loosened! ”
