Huo Si's statement, everyone also believed it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis is the confidence of the Han people in their own culture at this time, thousands of years of accumulation, a great country, how can it be learned overnight? Slow to say that stealing teachers can't learn, that is, teaching by hand, and hiding both hands, lest when the time comes to talk about the ancestors, some people are brazen and insist that what they have learned is their ancestors.

Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Huo Si continued: "...... But seeing that the saint was dressed in a black gold dragon robe, pointing to the rivers and mountains, scolding Fang Xuan, full of pride, looking around at more than 1,000 forbidden troops and saying: I am dignified in China, capable of producing many people, let the envoys see today, my Han family is a hero! ”

"Good !!"

Listening to the excitement, there was another round of applause. Huo Sihao was disappointed and continued: "The more than 1,000 forbidden troops shouted in unison, which frightened the envoys of the Liao State. It's really a drum beat, so it's not lively. More than 1,000 forbidden troops are either gossip for the nine palaces, or for the long snake, or for the three talents of heaven and earth. Such a strong formation made the envoys of the Liao State, Goryeo, and Tianzhu look at each other and dare not make a sound. After a while, the formation drill is completed, and the archery is practiced. The saint wanted to let the envoys of the Liao State accompany the shooting, but he heard that he was a Jinshi of the Liao State, and he could not hold a strong bow and ride a fierce horse, and jokingly said: Your country often says that my Han family is a son, and most of them are powerless to bind the chicken, but today I see the envoys of your country, but they are like my Dashun literati, and they are really unpredictable! ”

"Hahahaha......"

The drinkers laughed, and they drank heartily again. After drinking too much, the wine naturally sold well, and the shopkeeper was happy, and he stopped his work and listened to the storytelling.

“…… As soon as these words came out, Mo said that the envoys of the Liao State were red-faced, and they were the civil officials present, and they also made a big red face. Confucius has a holy word, the six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Today's literati are not accustomed to archery, royalty, and mathematics, so what kind of literati are they? ”

This was a bit harsh, and a large part of the people present were literati, who had already frowned, but fortunately there were people around them to dissuade them, so they did not get up to make trouble. Literati who have read Dashun Minbao understand that today's saints are indeed provoking the bloody martial arts of the people, and they use the words of Confucius in a grand manner to prove that the real Confucianism should be both civil and military. Some people even figured out their intentions and asked for an additional subject of archery in the imperial examination. Today's saints are naturally not so stupid, you must know that archery is an aristocratic sport, a bow, the value is consistent, where can poor students afford it?

So these officials retreated to the next best thing, believing that they could take an additional test in the art of war. Today, the Holy Authority still refuses this proposal on the basis of "talking on paper". Moreover, it is clearly pointed out that literature is literature, military is martial arts, and civilian officials practice martial arts, which is to strengthen their physical fitness and military attachés to practice martial arts, to protect their families and defend the country, and to fight in battle, which cannot be generalized. However, civilian officials must practice martial arts, and the Han people are by no means powerless, and military attaches must learn literature, and they must not lead troops if they are not familiar with the art of war.

Under this tone, there are many literati in Chang'an City, learning from the literati of the previous dynasty, even if they are depressed, they must be equipped with a long sword to pretend to be a ranger in the world. For a time, the long sword was "Luoyang paper expensive" in Chang'an, and many sons and brothers also became vassals and became elegant, and their daughters begged for good swords. What's more, he actually collected military books, wanting to become a generation of masters in the art of war.

If there is something good at the top, it must be invested at the bottom. The rampant style in Chang'an City also affected the surrounding cities. Even in remote places, I heard that Chang'an began to practice martial arts with swords, and many scholars began to hire martial artists to teach martial arts. After all, if others have learned, but you have not learned, aren't you lagging behind others in the imperial examination? Even if the imperial examination is not examined, what if it can be used one day, what about the imperial court recruiting this kind of talent, wouldn't it be left behind and waste an opportunity to rise to the top?

Scholars are shrewd and never do anything that is not beneficial. You can also understand that this is utilitarian, but people do what they like, which means that people are pondering. People who are good at pondering always have something to gain.

Seeing that there were discussions upstairs and downstairs, Huo Sicai didn't care so much, and continued: "The envoy said: Your Majesty, although I, Liu Liufu, am a bachelor of Hanlin in Liao, but I am a Han Chinese. Shengshang Longyan was slightly angry, and jokingly said: This is even more of a book to forget the ancestors, as a Han Chinese, how can he enter the Liao State as a minister? The envoy wanted to argue with the saint: When Taizu, my family was originally a Han from Youzhou, and was forcibly taken to the Khitan, isn't it the fault of Dashun? The saint has a good mind and said bluntly: If you attach yourself to Dashun and recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, I can give you the same Hanlin Straight Bachelor. The envoy was silent, and he estimated that he wanted to be a Hanlin bachelor in Liaoguo, and he was still a Hanlin bachelor when he returned to Dashun, so why bother? ”

"Hahaha, who is to blame for that thief who recognizes the thief as his father?"

"That's it, Liaoguo Hanlin Bachelor, how can it be compared with my Dashun Hanlin Bachelor?"

The atmosphere was lively, and everyone was scolding this Liao envoy who "forgot his ancestors". In fact, most of them also understand that the proportion of Han people in Liao is very high, and they are so "ridiculous" just to prove that they are doing well, so they just compare them with the Han people in Liao. This is the root of human inferiority, and there is no good or bad to speak of.

The Han people in the Liao State are indeed miserable, being thrown around like goods, with no dignity and no freedom to speak of. Most of them are slaves of the nobility, and if they are not satisfied, they may be in a different place. The Han people who can be officials in the Liao State must be former gentry and landlords with a certain cultural foundation. After being taken captive by the Liao State, they were also treated differently.

Huo Si patted the ruler again, signaling silence before continuing: "As soon as the saint said this, the civil and military officials snickered. The Liao State imitates the Central Plains everywhere, and considers itself China, isn't it arrogant? My China is a country of etiquette, how can it be compared to the Liao country? The saint did not investigate the crime of the Liao envoy's gaffe, which is already the grace of the saint. After a while, the forbidden army in the South Imperial Garden changed again, and a team of crossbowmen came out of the ranks, two hundred steps away, holding a divine arm crossbow. When it landed, the arrows rained down, and the arrows flew like locusts, and they did not enter the target of the arrows for more than three inches. The power of its divine arm crossbow is as sharp as this. The Liao Kingdom was not satisfied, and three more people came out to compare them with a strong bow. It opens two stone bows and can shoot more than 100 steps. I was a great soldier, and I also opened two stone bows, but I was able to sink into a hundred and twenty paces away, and although I missed the target, I also won the game......"

These words are a bit of a gold paste on the face of the forbidden army, Dashun's two-stone bow is strong, and it can shoot farther than the Liao State horse bow. But it doesn't help if you shoot far away, so in the matter of archery, it must be the Liao State that has the advantage. 6 Chengqi did not admit it, but said on the spot: "The Liao State is a country with bows and horses, and it is indeed slightly better than Dashun in the bow and horses." It's just that on the battlefield, it's not just by arching horses. ”

The implication is that you don't mess with me, I'm not afraid of you now. Indeed, with the Hongxiang-style rifle and the sub-mother cannon in hand, how could he be afraid of the Liao State?

Huo Si sighed with emotion: "I am dignified in China, how many people are good at shooting? The Khitan people have been practicing bow horses since they were young, so what if they are stronger? "To be continued.
