Chapter 341: Liangshan Military Version of the Sea Alliance
Lin Chong's heart was settled, he pondered for a moment, and proposed the cooperation that Liang Shanjun wanted.
"Not long ago, my Liangshan army defeated the 100,000 conquest army of the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and forced the Song court to recruit us and others, as hereditary festival envoys, and listened to the tune but did not listen to the announcement.
Liang Shanjun was determined to replace Zhao Song, but his strength was not enough, and he was willing to cooperate with the Jurchens, exchange what they had and what they had, and exchange fine wine, food, armor and weapons for Jurchen fine war horses.
On the day of the Jurchen attack on Liao, the Liangshan army could attack the Nanjing Road of the Liao State by boat, and collect the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties in the sixteen states of Yanyun as the foundation.
After occupying the eastern part of the Zhao and Song dynasties and stabilizing the foundation, you can start to attack the Song Dynasty from two directions and compete for the country. ”
As soon as Lin Chong finished speaking, Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan A Clutch, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Lou Room and others frowned.
When the envoy was sent before, it was also said that after the Jurchens destroyed the Liao, the Liangshan army and the Jurchens attacked the Song Dynasty together, and the two sides took the Yellow River as the boundary, the Liangshan army wanted the land south of the Yellow River, and the Jurchens wanted the land north of the Yellow River.
How long has it been, and it has become that the two sides have attacked the Liao State together, and the Liangshan Army has recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun as the foundation, and the two sides are about to take the Gubeikou and Yanmen Pass in the sixteen states of Yanyun as the boundary?
Wanyan Wu Qimai's face changed suddenly, and he said: "Liang Shanjun's words, how did they become so fast, you didn't say that last time!" ”
Lin Chong said: "That's because the situation has changed, last time, the imperial court two armies conquered the Liangshan army, although the Liangshan army was not afraid of him, but also knew that the strength was weak, so he had to ask for help from the Jurchens."
And now the imperial court's nearly 100,000 conquest army has been surrendered by our Liangshan army by 60,000 or 70,000, and the strength of the Liangshan army has increased greatly.
Moreover, my Huaxia is different from the Khitan and Jurchen, we pay attention to the teacher's fame, the natural response, and the dignified teacher.
If it is known that we are fighting the Song Dynasty with the Jurchens, I am afraid that the people under our rule will not be convinced, and the rebellion will not stop; And if Yanyun is recovered, it will definitely increase its prestige and people's hearts. ”
After Yan Wu begged a few people to look at each other, they admired Lin Chong for being frank enough, but they didn't care much about what Lin Chong said.
Anyway, in their hearts, they never put the covenant affidavit in their eyes, the so-called covenant is just a temporary expediency, and in the end, it is still necessary to rely on strength to speak.
For example, this time Allah moved to the Liao State to seek peace, which was an expedient measure, but because there were too many Liao troops who surrendered and Han people who came to serve, it took time to integrate;
Rebellions (rebellions) also occur one after another in various places, and it also takes time to quell them; And so much land that has just been conquered, and it is also necessary to establish effective governance.
Only then did he seek peace with the Liao State and gain time to digest the results of the war with peace of mind.
When all this is over, this paper covenant will be a fart, and you can make an excuse (ask for Ah Shu, etc.) to start a war again.
Therefore, Wanyan, Wu Qimai and others don't care whether they are talking with Liangshan Jun now about whether they are bounded by the Yellow River or the Gubeikou and Yanmen Pass.
Anyway, even if the Jurchens really wanted to cooperate with Liang Shanjun, it would only be an expedient measure.
Anyway, when the time comes, we must cross the Yellow River, and we must destroy the self-confidence of these southerners and break their backbones!
Let them be the same as the Han people in Liaodi, although they saw the Han people of the same race being slaughtered by the Jurchens, looted and robbed as slaves, but the other Han people still had to compete to surrender first, prostrate at the feet of the Jurchens and tremble.
Otherwise, the Han people in the south would have such a long accumulation and inheritance, such an advanced and splendid culture and skills, such a large population......
If everyone is as brave and fearless as these southerners in front of them, how can the Jurchens be their opponents if they are like a small population!
At this moment, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Wushu couldn't even stop looking at Wanyan Wu begging, Lin Chong, the Liangshan military master, sent it to the door himself, so he just killed them directly!
Wanyan Wu Qimai saw the meaning of the two, and such a thought actually floated in his heart.
Although reason told him that if he wanted to kill Lin Chong, there was a way, and there was no need to do it at the banquet at all; But he directly told him that the hero in front of him was an extremely dangerous person, and it would definitely be a big disaster for the Jurchens in the future, so it was better to kill it as soon as possible.
Wanyan Wu Qimai, who has always been firm and decisive, hesitated for a moment, and the confrontation between the two thoughts of reason and intuition finally won with reason.
He looked at Lin Chong with a deep gaze: "Master Lin is so dishonest, teach us how to trust you?" ”
Lin Chong couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart that others don't know what's going on with the Nuzhen, can I still not know?
The Jurchens are embarrassed to tell me about integrity, believe it or not, I will have a good time with you, and your grandfather Wanyan Wugunai betrayed his fiddy and betrayed his Jurchen clan to curry favor with the Liao State; There is also the past of betraying the scheming brother (see Chapter 291, the history of the family of the Wanyan Department).
However, this thought flashed, Lin Chong still did not expose the shortcomings, but said with a smile: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, presumably the Jurchen should have a deep understanding of this, Lin Chong came to the Jurchen in person, which has shown his sincerity."
Besides, speaking of this, the Jurchen did not suffer a loss, so why not believe it? ”
Anyway, it's bartering, we will exchange wine, food, armor, and swords for your war horses, if you think you can get it, you can change it, and if you can't do it, you won't change it.
As soon as this remark came out, Wanyan Wu begged to buy and really didn't continue to talk about this again, although the Jurchens were insidious and cunning, and they were full of changes, but they also liked to talk and do things simply and directly, and they didn't like to talk about nothing.
"I don't know how many of these treasure armors and treasure knives did the Lin Army Master bring this time? How many horses do you want to change? ”
"100 bottles of Wuliangye, 300 jars of Wuliangchun, 200 barrels of beer...... Fifty pairs of Qingtang Qizi armor, fifty pairs of cold-forged light armor, and one hundred horse battle long knives. As for how to exchange ......"
Lin Chong paused, looked at Wanyan Xiyin, the most literate among the Jurchen nobles, and said, "I don't know if you know that this Qingtang Zijia is unique to the Qingtang Qiang of Western Xia?" ”
Wanyan Xiyin said noncommittally: "The reputation of the Qingtang Poor Armor, I have also heard that it is said to be the heavy armor worn by the elite Iron Harrier of Western Xia. ”
"I don't know if Mr. Gu Shen knows why this Qingtang Qizi Jia is unique to the Qingtang Qiang of Western Xia?"
Wanyan Xiyin snorted lightly and did not speak.
Lin Chong smiled, didn't care, and introduced himself: "In fact, the reason why this Qingtang Poor Nail is so strong and lightweight, the biggest trick is that the nail piece is not heated by fire, only forged with cold iron, and beaten to a thickness that is reduced by three points compared to the original one. ”
Lin Chong said and picked up the set of Qingtang Monkey Nails, pointed to the small Monkeys on it, and then flicked it with his fingers, and the sound was crisp and pleasant.
"Just like this, I kept a piece the size of a chopstick's head at the end of the nail piece and didn't forge it, and used it to test the thickness of the nail piece, and the nail piece was exactly one third of the monkey's thickness, even if it was forged.
This is followed by quenching to strengthen the hardness of the surface. Therefore, the final processing of the nail iron is blue and black, clear and can be seen hair, and the weight is extremely light, soft and tough, and extremely strong, not only can not be injured by arrows, even swords and guns can not enter.
It's not an exaggeration to say that it's the best armor in the world!
You may not know, in fact, the production method of this Qingtang Qizi Armor, I have known it decades ago, but I can't make it, the reason is that the production of Qingtang Qizi Armor must use iron pieces produced near Qingtang Qiang in Xixia, and the iron pieces that can be produced locally are also extremely rare.
The reason why Liang Shanjun can have these Qingtang Poor Armor is also because of coincidence.
When Lin did not rebel out of the imperial court, four hundred iron harriers escorted King Xiaoliang of Western Xia and King Xiaojin to negotiate peace, and finally because of Lin, all of them died in the Song Realm.
Because of Lin Chong's meritorious service in saving the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, all the 400 sets of Qingtang Monkey Armor of the 400 Iron Harriers were rewarded to Lin Chong. ”
Wanyan Wushu had already been impatient to hear it, and even said: "Saying so much, it is nothing more than to say that your Qingtang Poor Son is good, and it is extremely rare, and your Liangshan Army is only four hundred sets." You just say that a set of such Qingtang armor wants to exchange for a few of our horses? ”
Lin Chong smiled and said: "A set of Qingtang Qizi armor, ten good horses for a girl, a set of cold forging light armor for seven good horses, a horse battle long knife, a good horse for a girl!" ”
Hiss!
Everyone gasped for a while, and their hearts said that you really dare to make a price.
Speaking of which, Xixia has the best armor in the world unique to Xixia, the reputation of Qingtang Qizi armor, I have heard of it before, but I have always been fascinated but I have not had the opportunity to see it, and today I see it really deserves to be the first in the world, peerless armor!
But we Jurchens also have our own unique, the best horses in the world, and the sacred bird Hai Dongqing!
Hai Dongqing didn't say it, just said that the Jurchen horse is not only tall, can carry heavy armor, run fast, has a strong charging ability, and has super long endurance, and can repeatedly rush into battle.
These high-headed horses that grew in extremely cold places were extremely valuable tributes like Haidongqing in the most powerful period of the Liao people.
(PS: Regarding the BMW during the rise of the Jurchens, there are a lot of records in various historical materials and in the notes of the Song people, these war horses can carry Jurchen knights wearing two layers of heavy armor, and they are not tired of repeatedly rushing and killing, and there are even records of Jurchen knights repeatedly rushing and killing more than 100 rounds.) It can be seen that its war horse has strong endurance.
However, the strange thing is that after the Jurchens were destroyed by the Mongols, when the Ming Dynasty was established, these high-headed horses could no longer be found in the northeast, and they were replaced by short Mongolian horses with very poor load.
This has always been a mystery, but my personal guess is that it was roughly during the rise of the Jurchens, and these majestic dragon horses made great contributions to the Jurchen knights, but they also consumed a batch; Later, the Mongols rose up, destroyed the Jurchens, and then went on an expedition to Europe, exhausting countless war horses along the way.
These high-headed horses of the Jurchens are so good, they must have been recruited by the Mongols to go to the west, you must know that the heavy cavalry in the Mongolian cavalry can account for three to four percent, and in the end, these high-headed horses are estimated to have died on the way to the west, leaving only the dwarf but more hard-working Mongolian horses. )
The baby who co-authored your Xixia is a baby, but the Jurchen baby is not a baby?
After finishing Yan Wushu, he was panting like a cow, his eyes were blood-red, and he almost scolded directly.
When Lin Chong saw it, he had to back down slightly, saying that a set of Qingtang Qizi armor was exchanged for seven good Jurchen horses, a set of cold-forged light armor was exchanged for five Jurchen good horses, and three long knives were exchanged for two good horses.
But the Jurchens were still not satisfied, and the two sides argued for a long time, and finally reached a trade agreement.
A set of Qingtang Qizi armor, five good horses for Jurchen, a set of cold-forged light armor for three and a half good Jurchen good horses, and two long knives for one good horse; As for fine wine and food, they were exchanged for gold and silver and Jurchen ginseng, mink, pearls, etc.
As for the cooperation between the two sides to attack Liao, an alliance was also temporarily reached, that is, when the Jurchens attacked Liao next time, the Liangshan army attacked Nanjing Road of Liao by sea.
The land occupied by the two sides is not limited to the sixteen states of Yanyun, as well as the boundary of the Yanmen Pass of Gubeikou Road, and whoever fights it will belong to whomever it is.
Lin Chong couldn't help but secretly think, it seems that the news that someone pretended to be a Jurchen Jurchen army to attack the Liao State was true and had spread here, otherwise how could Wanyan Wu Qimai and others despise the Liangshan army so much, and they must stick to this plan.
This clearly despises the strength of the Liangshan Army, thinking that with the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan Army, the attack on the Liao State will not be smooth sailing at that time, and it will definitely not be as devastating as the Jurchen attack on the Liao State.
Sure enough, after negotiating these, when the two sides were about to leave Yaozhou City and go to the seaside dock to trade, the Jurchen fierce general Wanyan pulled out of the speed and suddenly asked for battle, expressing his willingness to compete with the knights of the Liangshan Army immediately.
Wanyan Wu had already entrusted the matter of going to trade to Wanyan Zonghan at this time, and after listening to Yan Zonghan's request to fight, he waved his hand to let him step back, turned his head and said to Lin Chong: "We have already learned the inheritance of the Song people's thousands of years of accumulation, but I don't know how the Song people are capable of fighting?" Can the Lin army master dare to send someone to fight immediately? ”
Lin Chong was happy in his heart, how could he not think of the meaning of the Jurchens doing this.
At best, I was unconvinced that I lost the corner show, and I wanted to regain face in the horse war;
A little deeper, it is to test the strength of the Liangshan army's horse warfare, and at the same time defeat the knights of the Liangshan army to maintain the Jurchens' invincible self-confidence;
Thinking about it worse, why don't you find a way to take advantage of it?
However, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, how can the warriors of Liangshan be afraid of you when they compete with horses?
Lin Chong smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not good, I waited for this time to come to the Jurchens to make friends, talk about cooperation, and communicate with each other."
The competition is just to help the fun, but if it is a horse battle, it will require real swords and guns, and there will inevitably be casualties, won't it hurt the harmony of the two families? ”
When Wanyan Wushu saw that Lin Chong wanted to refuse, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You southerners are weak and timid, and when it comes to shaking knives and guns, you will be cowardly, but you are afraid of death?" ”
Lin Chong looked at this real cowardice who was defeated again and again by Yue Fei on the battlefield in the original history, annoyed and angry, and finally killed this lifelong opponent by using yin tricks outside the battlefield (he has the ability to defeat him on the battlefield), he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, and almost planned to wait for the direct competition to pick up this guy with one shot.
But in the end, Lin Chong looked at him, nodded seriously, and said, "The fourth prince knows my heart very well, and I am afraid of death!" I'm afraid that if my Liangshan Army warriors can't stop and stab a few Jurchen warriors to death with one shot, it will be very bad! ”
As soon as Wanyan Wushu heard the translation of the people around him, his expression suddenly changed, and his face was full of anger: "You dare to despise my Jurchen warrior?" ”
