Chapter 989: Cai Jing's idol
"Ancestor, my little ancestor!"
Zhang Qi went up and down, and looked at it carefully for a long time, and when he was sure that Xiao Yu was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He suddenly became violent, "You listen to me, from now on, you must be honest and don't do nonsense, otherwise military law will be engaged!" β
Xiao Yu was very honest, "Don't worry, I won't come nonsense...... Don't believe me? β
Following Xiao Yu's fingers, Zhang Kai noticed that except for some people who were guarding the captives, everyone else was busy repairing cars, running for dozens of miles, some mechanical failures, some boilers burned dry, and some shafts were broken...... At least a third of tractors are scrapped.
Xiao Yu spread his hands, "There is no way, the car has broken down a lot, and there is not much coal left, do you think you can run by burning wood?" β
Zhang Qi didn't know if it was okay to burn wood, he only knew that he must not let Xiao Yu toss again.
Immediately ordered, the soldiers moved all the military supplies on the car and quickly prepared for battle.
When everything was piled together, like a small mountain, Zhang Qi finally let out a sigh.
I'm scared, but it's really worth it!
Take cavalry as an example, if you don't care about everything, you can go on a long run, advance 100 miles a day, or even more. But to carry plenty of food and grass, enough gunpowder, and so many artillery, don't even think about it.
According to past experience, without 350,000 people, it is impossible to transport so many things, and it will take at least ten days, and the consumption along the way will even exceed seventy percent! The deaths of cattle and horses are even more numerous.
This is why expeditions have always been costly and controversial...... If we catch up with the busy time of farming, transport grain from the south to the north, and transport grain from the border to the grassland, the consumption along the way, plus the requisition and transfer of people, will affect the agricultural work, and it will not be able to recover at all in a few years.
But now?
Just 200 tractors solved a big problem.
50 artillery pieces were set up at the head of Usha Castle. All kinds of rockets, gunpowder, medicinal herbs, bedding, food, jerky...... There is no shortage of the same, enough for 3,000 people to hold on for a month!
That's the power of technology!
The corners of Zhang Qi's mouth kept twitching, and he even became jealous.
In the future, the world will not be the world of famous generals, but the world of these black workers!
These little guys, who are not as old as his son, decide the winner in the rear. A soldier is nothing more than a cannonball thrown by a craftsman!
Pathetic! If Lao Tzu were 20 years younger, I would have become an engineer too!
Zhang Qi thought so, and Tong Guan and Gaoqiu, who were squatting on the ground to repair the car, had another thought...... Grandma's, she is still a martial artist, fighting with a gun, how easy it is to kill people!
How can they be like this, their hands are full of black oil, their faces are smoked like little ghosts, they come from afar, they can only work as transporters for others, and the things that really show their faces and make meritorious contributions are all martial arts, if it weren't for the lack of money at home, we would also go to the martial arts academy!
Okay!
Typical of this mountain looks at that mountain high, and only sees the thief eating meat, but does not see the thief being beaten.
Xiao Yu didn't put so much effort into it, he just thought the scene of entering the city was very funny...... In the faint twilight, the tractor spewing black smoke made a huge roar, coming towards the castle, like a giant beast from the desolation, and the people in the city were frightened.
They shouted frantically and shouted to the sky, as if to ask the gods why they didn't rain down thunder and chop these demons.
Instead, they knelt on the ground, begging the devil to stop, and in their panic, they forgot to seal the gates.
They only used a few grenades to blow the city gate open, and then the people inside knelt on the ground and asked to surrender. They lay on their stomachs on the snow, trembling and trembling, and they didn't even have the courage to look up!
From the beginning to the end, the defenders of the city did not think of counterattacking, and without firing a single arrow, they obediently surrendered!
In fact, it feels really good to be feared and awe-inspired!
No wonder the eldest brother is willing to lead the troops outside!
Maybe the entire Wa Kingdom is prostrate at his feet, tossing at will, and that feeling must be able to fly? But there is nothing to be proud of, my father's authority is even greater than that of the emperor, but he has not been very happy in all these years...... Therefore, how to go in the future is a thing that needs to be considered.
The convoy was lying on its stomach collectively, and Xiao Yu was finally free, he boiled a pot of hot water in his yard, and after a simple rinse, it was like a good sleep.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Cai Jing came in with a roasted leg of mutton.
"Wang Gong, this is what I just made, try it!"
Xiao Yu nodded and said casually, "What about the others?" Are they both? β
"Yes!"
Cai Jing said with a smile: "We have a meritorious service in transporting goods, and Master Zhang has distributed 20 fat sheep, and every brother has them." β
"Oh!"
Xiao Yu agreed, he grabbed a dagger casually, skillfully cut the mutton, and divided a few pieces for Cai Jing, the two of them kept their heads stuffy and didn't speak, and most of the leg of mutton was killed.
Cai Jing patted his stomach, "If you eat belly again, you will break it!" β
Xiao Yu smiled and said: "You are still too scholarly, look at the army, which one is not a pot-bellied man?" β
Cai Jing shook his head, "Anyway, I can't learn...... By the way, Wang Gong, when I came, I saw Lord Zhang taking all the captives outside the city, and I didn't know what to do? β
Xiao Yu paused, raised his finger, and pointed outside, Cai Jing took a breath, he vaguely heard a gunshot!
"What? Enemy soldiers coming? β
Xiao Yu didn't make a sound, Cai Jing thought about it again, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, Lord Mo Feizhang gave all the captives...... Click? β
Xiao Yu didn't answer directly, but sighed, "So many people, and we are not of the same heart, the Khitan army is coming, and the grain and grass are so precious...... It's not easy for Zhang-sama either. β
Cai Jing was stunned, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt that his stomach was tumbling for a while, very uncomfortable, he tried to endure it, but he couldn't help it!
There was no way, Cai Jing turned around and ran out, he really didn't dare to think that hundreds of people would be executed at once. How miserable it must have been! Cai Jing was in pain and held his head.
"Drink some water!"
At some point, Xiao Yu stood behind him and handed over a bowl of hot water.
Cai Jing reluctantly took two sips, whispered thank you, and then muttered to himself, "It shouldn't be, they all surrendered, Celestial Empire style, shouldn't ......"
Killing prisoners on a large scale, Cai Jing is really unacceptable!
Xiao Yu is a lot older, he bared his teeth, and said with a smile: "You know the rice grain in Hetao, right?" Is it tasty? β
"It's delicious." Cai Jing replied honestly: "The Hetao is plugged into the south of the Yangtze River, and the products are abundant, and last year alone, it provided 3 million stone grain to the Great Song Dynasty...... I also heard that the land there is fertile and endless, which is very suitable for using tractors, and Tong Guan told me about it! β
Xiao Yu smiled again: "Then do you know why it is suitable for machine farming?" Or rather...... The endless land is sent by heaven? It turns out that there is no owner? β
"This ......" Cai Jing pondered, "Hetao started from the Qin Dynasty and was incorporated into the Central Plains, and was later occupied by the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and set up Shuofang County, and later the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, here changed hands many times, and changed countless masters......"
Xiao Yu squatted in front of Cai Jing, blinked his eyes and said, "What about every time it changes hands?" From nomadism to farming, from farming to nomadism, over and over again, endlessly...... What's behind this? β
"Yes, it's killing!"
Sweat soaked out of Cai Jing's forehead, although he didn't want to admit it, but he also had to accept it, a few lines of words in the history books, behind it were a lot of white bones!
Cai Jing shook his head painfully, "Wang Gong, you are not as old as me, how can you know so much?" β
Xiao Yu shrugged his shoulders, "No way, I don't want to know, but that old guy is too ruthless!" When I was in the Western Regions, I did that, and when I arrived in Western Xia, it was even darker! In order to sell Wang Anshi a favor and fill the gap in grain, he levied an additional 3 million stone grain from Hetao, and recently the price of grain has risen, and he has sold another 2 million stone at a high price...... All this food is squeezed out of the teeth! Where is the food, it is clearly the cannibalism! β
Xiao Yu is old-fashioned, I have to say that in comparison, although his father is ruthless enough, it is still much worse than Wen Kuanfu's black heart...... And it was Cai Jing who was really shocked!
Wen Yanbo?
That is the most elegant prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty...... For decades, the ups and downs of the sea of eunuchs, full of tumblers, great reformers, educators, protΓ©gΓ©s, all over the world, the second great hero with a different surname to be crowned king, a veteran of Shuo Germany...... Under the unparalleled aura, almost any reader is looking forward to the achievement of Wen Yanbo.
After all, Wang Ning'an's start is too mysterious, he can't be copied, and he is a martial arts alien, and his reputation is not good, so deep in his heart, Cai Jing regards Wen Yanbo as the first idol, he is familiar with Wen Yanbo's poems and articles, engraved in his heart, and looks forward to one day, he can catch up with the footsteps of the old-timers, establish virtue and make meritorious contributions, and achieve three immortal saints......
But Xiao Yu's words completely tore off the beautiful mask, revealing the most real side...... Cai Jing felt that his world had collapsed, if he had just some ambitions before, he was unwilling to accept the status quo, thinking about speculation and drilling, and a small bureaucrat who was bent on climbing up...... After this conversation, Cai Jing was completely blacked...... Once the success will be done, the bones will wither, and the same will be true for the name!
The pass is to be ruthless and do what others dare not do, just like Wen Kuanfu!
Cai Jing still regards Lao Wen as an idol, but this time what he learned has changed...... No one would have thought that 30 years later, Cai Jing relied on his heart to be ruthless and climbed to the throne of the prime minister of the political hall, that year, Wen Kuanfu was exactly 91 years old, Cai Jing proudly patted his chest and told the old guy, what you didn't do back then, I did it!
No one noticed the changes in Cai Jing, and everyone was staring at the ever-changing battle situation...... On the second day after Wusha Fort was lost and Yehuling fell into the hands of the Song army, Yelu Yixin led 30,000 people and appeared outside Wusha Castle!
"It's a step slower!" This Khitan number one minister was angry and even more frightened, the road to Zhongjing had been broken, did he want to be trapped and die in Yunzhou?
