Chapter 116: Banquet Competition
This time the alliance. gave chicken blood to the workshops of the Great Song Dynasty, which are now stagnant. Hundreds of millions of orders floated to various workshops. Weapons and armor for sale. Saved the now weakened military industry of the Great Song Dynasty. Assault guns were especially popular. Especially Dali, Jiaozhi, and Zhancheng. All ordered a lot. There are more than 500,000 in total. This assault was in the army. It's better than that used by the people of the Great Song Dynasty. It was the procurement of assault rifles. It only took them three years. And he pacified Bagan. Real wax.
Exploit wasteland, open mines, and build roads. There are even more orders for thunderbolts. In addition, countries themselves have to reserve them. Reserved for military use. Thunderbolts were sold even more than assault guns. Of course, there is no comparison with the sales volume of the Assault Gun Nest.
Countries have neither the technology. There is no talent. There is no place to produce thunderbolts, etc. Even if it is produced out. The price is compared to that of Da Song. I don't know how many times more expensive. It's better to order from Da Song.
Zhao Ji didn't expect this alliance to be so successful. Even dreaming laughed. Let's be honest. He never dreamed of it. The term "Chinese Empire", which belongs to later generations, will come out of Yelu Hongji's mouth. The establishment of the Chinese Empire. To a certain extent, the reunification of China has been realized. Although this unification cannot be compared with the great unification. But at least it is stronger than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There was a united Chinese empire. In the future, even if there is a war between the member states. It was also a civil war.
The next decade. Song merchants borrowed a large amount of money from the business alliance counter. Influx into the countries. The mine was opened. Became a farmer. In order to realize the complementarity of cropping and animal husbandry. After Yeluhongki turned the steppe nomads into miners. Cities of all sizes began to appear on the grasslands. All the cities were built around the mining industry. Li Zhanma, the first giant merchant of the Great Song Dynasty, sent a large number of people to the grassland to build horse farms one by one. Not nomadic. It's animal husbandry. Except for Li Zhanma. Other horse dealers are not far behind. The grasslands are dotted with horse farms. It became a transit station for the city, mainly the mining industry.
Development of animal husbandry in the steppe. Not only to Liao. It also brought a lot of animal power to the Great Song Dynasty. The complementarity of agriculture and animal husbandry has been realized. Of course, Zhao Ji would not entrust animal husbandry to Liao. Entrusting to the steppe.
Except for the fact that most of the residents on both sides of the Yellow River have to be moved. Restore vegetation on both sides of the Yellow River. Livestock grows grass. Outside the construction of horse farms. In other parts of the Great Song Dynasty. A large number of cattle farms were also built. Raising cattle. There has been no relaxation in the development of Australia. According to Zhao Ji's request. In the future, the copper and iron ore, cattle, sheep and horses of the Great Song Dynasty will come from Jinzhou and Australia.
In addition to the alliance between the countries and the Great Song Dynasty. Covenants were also signed between countries. In order to prevent the Song and Liao dualist systems from swaying the empire. There was also solidarity among other Member States. Bridging business barriers.
After the end of the Alliance. Night. Zhao Ji proposed to hold a joint party. Congratulations on the successful conclusion of the Huaxia Alliance. Celebrate the founding of the Chinese Empire.
The founding of the Chinese Empire. It was published on the front page of various newspapers the next day. Di Bao also vigorously publicized the success of this alliance. There are workshops. The government hall has been found. It is necessary to contract the production of the Chinese Empire's 10,000-character dragon flag.
Zhao's proposal was endorsed by the monarchs of various countries. Night. On the first floor of the world. It is a warbler song and swallow dance. More than 200 people from various countries participated in the alliance. The giant businessmen and celebrities of the Great Song Dynasty all participated in this gala. There was no way for the government officials of the Great Song Dynasty to come. Because spring ploughing is going on intensely.
"Emperor Shirakawa. Come. More and faster chapters are here. Drink. Done it first. Zhao Ji toasted the monarchs one by one.
"Come on. Drink. Emperor Shirakawa said with a smile.
The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty toasted them. Put it before. It's something I can't believe.
"Song and Japan. Across the sea. Since Taizong, there have been extensive exchanges. May the two countries cooperate sincerely. Jointly compose the song of the prosperity of the Chinese Empire. Zhao Ji finished drinking. Said happily.
"The Song of the Prosperous Age. It's still better than the Tang Dynasty. This song and dance of the Great Song Dynasty. Although it is intoxicating. But it's too sluggish. There is "a businesswoman who does not know the hatred of the country." The sense of decadence of singing ** flowers across the river. "Emperor Shirakawa's short and fat body obviously drank a little too much. Unexpectedly made a lot of nonsense.
Yelu Hongji hates Japanese dwarfs the most. Without hesitation, he said, "Japan is a wild country. I also know how to sing and dance. ”
Although the Liao State was a large country like the Song State. The first update was on a par with the Song State among the member states of the Chinese Empire. However. In addition to Western Xia and Goryeo, it borders the Liao State because of its territory. Instead, he wanted to give Yelu Hongji some face. He looked very respectful in front of Yelu Hongji. However. Japan, Dali, Cochin, Champong, and Sriwijaya are several countries. In addition to hoping that the Liao State can resist the Great Song Dynasty. lest the Great Song Dynasty use troops against them. I can't talk about how respectful he is to Yeluhongki.
Japan even regarded the Liao State as a barbarian country. Although the strength of Liao** is strong. But it lacks cultural influence. In fact, Emperor Shirakawa made a lot of nonsense. It should be Zhao Ji who is angry. After all, Emperor Shirakawa insulted the song and dance culture of the Great Song Dynasty. There is a contempt for the Great Song Dynasty to be too sluggish. However, Yelu Hongji is a Song fan. Heroic culture. I like the songs and dances of the Song Dynasty. didn't wait for Zhao Ji to say anything. Fight back against the Japanese emperor with alcohol.
Whether it is the Great Song Dynasty to the countries. The first update is still the big song of various countries. All have a certain understanding. But. The Liao State is quite well known to the three countries bordering the territory of Western Xia, Goryeo, and Great Song. Relatively unfamiliar with other countries. The other countries except know that the Liao State has a powerful iron horse. Outside of the strong force. It is also quite unfamiliar with the Liao State.
Although the countries signed the Covenant. However, this does not mean that the previous strategic thinking has changed. After the Liao State purchased a thousand warships from the Great Song Dynasty at one time. It made Korea and Japan nervous. The Liao State buys warships. It made Goryeo quite nervous. As a result, Goryeo also purchased a thousand warships from the Great Song Dynasty. Japan is even crazier. Three thousand warships were purchased at once. They also hired academicians from the Patriotic Academy to help them train sailors at a high price.
There are no heavy troops on the border. Just referring to the Army. The sailor does not have this rule. See that Goryeo, Japan, and Liao all bought warships. More and faster chapters are here. Jiaozhi and Champa also hoped that the Great Song would lift the ban on them not being able to train sailors. In order to achieve the unanimity of all countries. The Great Song Dynasty agreed that Jiaozhi and Zhancheng could form a water division. However, there are limits on scale.
There are also sailors in Liao. But their sailors are all offshore sea divisions. It's just to guard against the Great Song Dynasty. The combat power of the Great Song Naval Division. They felt a great threat. In order to. The Liao State urgently needed to train an ocean-going naval division. But. There is no way to compare the shipbuilding technology of the Liao State with the Great Song Dynasty. It can only be ordered from Da Song.
Yeluhonki was able to come to the Alliance. It's not just the domestic contradictions that are important in Liao. There are also adjustments to military deployments. The Great Song Dynasty could send troops to the Liao State from the coast at any time. The more than 900,000 state soldiers deployed by the Liao State in Xijin Mansion and Datong Mansion to defend against the Great Song Dynasty were of no use at all. Because the Great Song sailors could directly hit the rear of the Liao State. More and faster chapters are here.
The meta-rule of all rules is the principle of violence. If it weren't for the Great Song Dynasty in the past few years. Committed to military reform. Change the military system. Intensify your training. Development of military handicrafts. Sharp weapons and armor. The new weapons are powerful. Whether it's Western Xia. Or Liao. or other countries. All felt the danger. Otherwise. There would have been no such alliance at all.
Western Xia, Dali, Jiaozhi, and Zhancheng. Because of the threat of the Great Song. There is an urgent need to expand the depth of the country. There is no threat from the Great Song. The determination of Western Xia to annex Black Khan and Gaochang would not be so strong. Fight against the Great Song Dynasty. Unrealistic. In the past, when the Great Song Dynasty was weak. None of them could get in. Now Da Song is not only stronger. It also made Western Xia unable to afford the cost of war. Once the war is ignited. Trade disruptions. There are no coins. There is no change in the kingdom of Nasitxia.
King Shirakawa of Japan satirizes him when he sees Yelu Hongji. "A group of nomadic natives naturally doesn't understand anything," he shouted. ”
"You." Yeluhonki was furious. The guards beside him immediately drew their swords and pointed at Emperor Shirakawa.
How could Emperor Shirakawa's guards be timid. Also pull out the horizontal knife. Confronted Yeluhongki's personal guards. The banquet of the song and swallow dance suddenly became silent. I didn't expect such a thing to happen at a good banquet.
"Hahaha. Since it is a clash of song and dance. Then it should also be Wendou. Put away their knives. Zhao Ji laughed.
Xining's words are reasonable. The Great Song song and dance are not good. Japan has come up with a good one. Otherwise, they boast about themselves. Jokes. Yelu Hongji waved his hand and said.
See Yelu Hongji waving his hand. His guards all raised their swords. Yelu Hongji also sobered up a little at this time. Know about it. It should be Zhao Ji who challenged the Japanese emperor.
After Yeluhonki's guards put away their knives. Emperor Shirakawa's samurai also put away their swords at Emperor Shirakawa's signal. Emperor Shirakawa spoke, "Japan. Whether it's singing and dancing. Martial arts. Or the craft. All originated from the authentic Tang Dynasty. Except for poetry. Japan does not lose to the Great Song Dynasty. these years. The Great Song Dynasty grew stronger and stronger. Various process technologies are developing rapidly. Powerful. However. Whether it's singing and dancing. Or martial arts is becoming more and more sluggish. Lifeless. Japanese kabuki never brought it. Today, let you see the authentic Tang hand road from the Tang Dynasty. ”
Emperor Shirakawa said the truth. The Great Song Dynasty and the color industry are developed. Martial arts are not good. Singing and dancing are not as heroic as the Tang Dynasty. Full of military atmosphere. It's very frivolous. It can be said to be glamorous and dancing. On process technology. The Japanese military industry is very developed. Japan's three-ketone horizontal knife was originally very popular among martial artists in the Great Song Dynasty. On martial arts. Although horseback riding, archery, fencing, etc. are also compulsory subjects in Confucianism. didn't write a popular poem, which is even more admirable. In an environment where literature is repressed and military is suppressed. Martial arts also went downhill.
Because of these. In the history of the Song Dynasty. Although the exchange with Japan was more extensive than that of the Tang Dynasty. However, I have not heard of a large number of Japanese envoys sent to the Song Dynasty. Until Zhao Ji crossed over. Encourage industry and commerce. The handicrafts of the Great Song Dynasty were dumped in Japan. The merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty poured into Japan. The sailors of the Great Song Dynasty crisscrossed the East China Sea. Japan just sent a gift list. Began to learn from the Great Song. It's not just about sending students to study in Dasong. He also sent civil and military officials to the four universities of the Great Song Dynasty for further study.
These are the situations that Shirakawa said. Zhao Ji knows it. Tang Hands. Refers to the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty. It is a set of fighting techniques summed up by the Tang warriors in the battle. After it was introduced to Japan. It is known as karate. After being introduced to North Korea. It is known as taekwondo. In China, it is called the white crane palm. It is a set of Taoist inner boxing methods.
Although Zhao Ji knows this. But this time. You can't afford to lose face.
"Good. Good. I'll add a jackpot too. Li Xiang'an. Set up a ring in the square in front of the building. I'm going to take a look today. Which country has the most exquisite martial arts. The winner of the contest. The reward is 3,000 yuan. Zhao Ji commanded.
Zhao Ji is particularly fond of bounties. The four universities absorb craftsmen with unique craftsmanship. this system. It's a kind of bounty. Access to the four universities. It is the carp jumping over the dragon gate. This is a long-term bounty policy. Let the excellent craftsmanship of the Great Song Dynasty folk. Family heirlooms are gone. Under the reward. can produce a brave man. It's not just for fighting in the ring.
The banquet was not over. Instead, they all moved to the square before the first floor of the world. More than 3,000 joint defense troops. More than 1,000 servants. plus the Li family's family. The ring was quickly set up. The feast has also been arranged.
Emperor Shirakawa of Japan. Let one of the samurai beside him perform a few moves in the ring first. Subsequently. looked at Zhao Ji and Yelu Hongji. Meaning: It's time for you to send someone up and challenge
