Chapter Twenty-Eight: Everything Is Destined
Such a broken thing, embarrassed to call it tea?
The paper bag contained an earthy yellow round cake, like crumbs of dry grass squeezed together, and there was no tea aroma at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I remember that the Great Song Dynasty should be the era of boiling tea with various ingredients, crushing the tea leaves, adding green onions, ginger and lard to cook together, not so much to taste tea, but to drink soup. By the way, the best tea in the Northern Song Dynasty is Longfeng Tuan Tea, the favorite of Song Huizong, and it is also the state of tea cakes.
But this kind of tea cake is probably designed to fool ethnic minority brothers, right? It is estimated that it is not easy to get it if it is not extremely precious.
Historically, China has traded silk, porcelain and tea for the world's silver. In the Song and Liao markets, tea is also one of the most important commodities. Especially for nomads, there is more meat and less vegetables in the diet, and tea is an important way to supplement vitamins.
Tea trees like to be warm and moist, and the northernmost tea-producing area in later generations is Shandong. Yu Gen drank Laoshan green and sunshine green, both of which were introduced in the fifties and sixties of the last century. I have not heard of any place north of the Yellow River where tea is produced.
The inseparable tea cakes should come from the Great Liao, which was exchanged from the Great Song Dynasty, and it also had to go through long-distance transportation in the Great Song Dynasty. No matter what kind of rotten tea, it can be sold at a sky-high price.
You can't stay here for a long time, at least you have to go to the Shandong Peninsula...... Yu Gen was holding a transparent double-layer thermos cup in his hand, and his mouth was bitter.
The two meals a day in Bunnuri are all a variety of meats, supplemented by a small amount of rice porridge. Meat is good meat, and it is afraid that it will be protected animals at all levels in future generations. Rice is a collected grass seed, sweet taste, sticky taste, absolutely natural green and pollution-free.
However, the stomach was a little swollen and said.
West Lake Longjing, Anxi Tieguanyin, Huangshan Maofeng, Dongting Biluochun...... Just make a cup for you, even if it's green tea from the big road!
"Abu Kahkh!"
A bunch of people rushed in in a mess, but at first they couldn't leave.
Uh, who beat it up after such a long time? A wound was scratched on his forehead, and he wiped it indiscriminately. originally a plump face, but it became a little hideous.
Yu Gen looked at the vultures that came in after him with a smile. Wushu really scratched his scalp, with a look of embarrassment and chagrin, "I see that the thunderbolt is much smaller than before, so I didn't ask everyone to lie down." But I said I was going to lie down! ”
When the explosion sounded, everyone stared wide-eyed, and then they were dizzy. More than 20 paces away, black smoke rose into the air, and rocks flew up. One of them came whistling, and the forehead that could not be separated in the middle was also unlucky.
Fortunately, the strength is not great, but it just cuts a little flesh. If it is more powerful, it may not be opened......
"Abukaheh, this is not to blame." He laughed hard and the wound on his bright head was particularly striking, "Hehe, Abukaheh, can you give me some more thunderbolts?" ”
Yu Gen was silent, just because you were injured? That doesn't seem to be a good reason! Hehe, the sales pitch is pretty good.
"I took fifty men and a hundred horses. Two people died, and eighteen horses were lost. I could leave thirty-four horses in Pennuri! In addition, the weapons and armor of fifty people were left for Pennouri ......"
The reason for the dissociation is not sufficient. And the arithmetic of the distancing is good. The wound on the door of the head made him not extremely excited - a small thunderbolt can completely decide the outcome of a skirmish!
The battle in the era of cold weapons is almost a matter of exchanging human lives for human lives. The so-called killing 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 oneself is not an exaggeration. The two powerhouses compete, like a road roller running over, and the flesh and blood are blurred.
Looking at the examples of the weak defeating the strong in history, most of them are that the weak side has achieved a local advantage, resulting in the complete collapse of the strong side, and then taking a big advantage in the pursuit.
Jurchen's life is precious! Especially when the Daliao, which has millions of troops, is the opponent. Not to mention one-to-one exchange, one-to-ten, one-to-hundred exchange, that can't be exchanged. According to the legend, "the Jurchens are less than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible." The latter sentence is debatable, but the former is a fact. When the Jurchens started to resist Liao, they were only a few thousand people.
If it weren't for the historical facts, Yu Gen would not be sure that a primitive tribe with no more than 100,000 people would have wiped out the vast Great Liao within ten years, and accounted for half of the Great Song Dynasty within two years.
Well, killing people and killing pigs are indeed different. A million pigs cannot be killed, because the pigs will not collapse, let alone surrender and lead the way, waving a butcher's knife at the same species.
With Thunderbolt, the situation in battle can be completely different. Imagine that when two armies face each other, one or more thunderbolts are suddenly thrown into enemy lines. The direct explosion of the enemy may not be very many, but it will make the enemy tremble, people neigh, and demoralize. Taking advantage of the enemy's dizziness, let the horse go for a while to cover up the kill......
"Abu Kahkh!"
Yu Gen smiled, didn't say yes or no, but Hu Shahu was in a hurry, and didn't dare to speak loudly, but he might as well express his meaning. Abuli and Entebu in the back also looked anxious.
The armored weapons of the clan warriors were all self-bringed, even ancestral. That is to say, the accumulation of hard work over a lifetime or even several generations can equip a warrior. Although Pennuri does not have the concept of commodity economy, he also knows that a set of weapons and armor is a pile of great wealth!
It seems that Abukakhh still doesn't want to agree?
"Abukaheh, my second brother has always taken good care of me." Wushu also scratched his scalp to mend the table, "In my family, except for my Amma, it is my second brother who counts." ”
"There are too many thunderbolts, it hurts the heavens and the peace!" Abukaheh was indeed very embarrassed, and he didn't want to hurt the hearts of so many people, so he hesitated to speak.
"Tenwa?" Wo Xuan obviously didn't understand. Everyone was also confused, well, it was very serious anyway.
"Well, it is to destroy the normal order between heaven, earth, and man, causing unimaginable consequences. It's hard to predict what will happen next. Yu Gen had to explain patiently. In the face of many illiterates, there is no way.
"Oh......"
Everyone suddenly realized, and their faces were heavy. I also wanted to give up this reluctant request for a while. Hu Shahu thought more clearly, in this way, this thunderbolt is indeed a bit serious, and it will be "damned", right? Last time Abukakhh explained, the thunder "boomed......
"Suduli?" Abukakhh let out a long sigh and decided to grieve himself.
"Abukaheh, it's just that you don't have many natural treasures......" Su Duli hurriedly stepped forward to answer.
At the site of the explosion, only Su Duli was observed from the perspective of scientific research and experiments. The so-called natural treasure actually refers to the paper used to make the fuse, that is, the workbook. The fine paper is very precious, and Su Duli is reluctant to use it more, and has tried to change other materials, such as sheepskin, and even reed pipes, but the effect is not good.
This time, Abukakh's request for the fuse was that it should be thrown twenty paces away and rolled on the ground without affecting the combustion. After many experiments, Suduli finally did this by using hemp rope to make grooves, which were encircled around the outside of the thunderbolt and the fuses embedded in the grooves. After examining it, Abukakh nodded with satisfaction.
Unfortunately, Suduli's proposed name, the bomb of Abukakh, was ruthlessly rejected by Abukakh. At that time, Suduli did not understand that other things could be named Abukakhh, such as the Abukakhh alphabet, Abukakhh numerals, Abukakhh uniforms, and the Abukakhh dance......
"Let's call it a thunderball!" Yu Gen hurriedly named the explosives package, saving Su Duli from thinking blindly - how many eggs does my brother have, are they throwing them around?
The main ingredient of the Thunderbolt is, of course, **, but doped with some pebble fragments. This was picked up by Mawu and others from the river beach and smashed with a hammer. A finger-sized, irregularly shaped, with a bit of a sharp edge is best. The unlucky one was scratched by a shard of pebbles.
Su Duli now understands that it turns out that Abukaheh refused to be named because it hurt the heavens and the peace......
"Well, I'll take care of everything!" Abukahh finally made a decision, and it seemed that the sacrifice was great, "Fifty people's iron weapons are left, and the rest are not wanted, and I will give you ten more thunderbolts." But it won't be ten days later! ”
"It's okay, it's okay! Thank you Abukaheh! "I didn't hurry up and kneel down to thank you.
Forty-three Jurchens, stripped naked—well, still in their clothes—rode forty-six horses with six thunderbolts, and left the bunnu in a hurry.
The five wounded stayed behind to recuperate, and after ten days, they will return to Acheng under the escort of Ma Wu and others. Of course, it is more important to escort fourteen thunderbolts......
Okay, this business is done. When he came, he was armed with two horses, and when he left, he didn't leave a piece of armor, and he said "Thank you!" "It's not a single person's character, if you say give it to the horse, then you must give it to the horse, and you can't take it if you don't accept it.
"Dirty, we don't know what we're going to encounter in the future. Are you sure you want to follow me? Yu Gen saw that Wushu's mood was a little low, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, Abukaheh. Maybe everything is predestined, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen off. Vultures stared at the reed bundles on the roof. I've been thinking about getting out of the atmosphere of fighting and fighting in the Wanyan Department.,Now this wish has finally come true.,But my heart is a little empty.。 Especially when I watched the second brother beat the horse and left.
"Do you think the price for not paying is too high?" Well, in that case, the vultures are completely their own. To be honest, in front of his own people, Yu Gen is really a little weak-the arms business is really very profitable......
"Not high! Those are all things outside the body, but thunderbolts can save the lives of many Jurchens! The Jurchens are actually not much more than the Huligai, every human life is precious, and any price is worth it! Wushu said very sincerely, and his insight was quite lofty, "Abu Kaheh, will the Jurchens really establish Dajin?" ”
"This is also destined by heaven!" Yu Gen replied with great certainty, "You, Amma, will be the emperor of Dajin!" ”
"But a lot of people will die, right?" Wushu was indeed excited, but it was just that.
