Chapter 26: Someone from the Island Country
As soon as Zhao Zhen's head was hot, he blurted out the question, and after asking, he felt that something was wrong, no one had written it yet, how could he say it!
Zeng Gongliang didn't think he was wrong, but called out in surprise: "Your Majesty, you are really a god!" The minister thought about it in his mind for half a night last night before deciding on this name, you can actually know that the minister really admires you! ”
"Huh...... Ok, ok! Don't admire it too much, just admire it a little! Zhao Zhen said modestly.
"Then can you give the book to the minister now?" Zeng Gongliang is also a kind person, and if he says that he doesn't want to praise, he will not praise immediately.
"Do you know why you can't find this book? I'm telling you, that's because I didn't take it out at all. Looking at your confused eyes, I must not know why! ”
Zeng Gongliang nodded subconsciously, thinking that maybe it was wrong, and shook his head again.
"I'll tell you the truth, if others learn other aspects of knowledge, they can improve their lives at most, but if these military things are learned by those potential enemies, we will suffer at the loss. Therefore, all books and inventions on military affairs must not be leaked, not even by your family, understand? ”
"Your Excellency understands! Yes...... Can you give me a book? ”
“……”
Zhao Zhen finally lost to Zeng Gongliang's kraft candy tricks, and Zeng Gongliang also got his wish and snatched the copycat book "Good Soldier" from him. Of course, Zeng Gongliang also paid a "painful" price for this.
Zeng Gongliang originally just wanted to write casually with his own ideas, but Zhao Zhen thought about it and simply asked him to use this plan to preside over the compilation of a military textbook. As a result, the content of this new edition of "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts" is also different from the historical one.
The book is divided into two episodes, each with 20 volumes. The first episode introduces in detail the selection of troops, education and training, troop formation, marching and camping, ancient and modern formations, communication reconnaissance, city attack and defense, fire attack and water warfare, weapons and equipment, etc. Especially in the part of the battalion formation, weapons, and equipment, each piece is equipped with detailed illustrations. The latter collection collects the stories of the use of soldiers in the past dynasties, preserves a lot of ancient battle examples, and analyzes and evaluates the battle examples and the gains and losses of the use of troops in the past dynasties.
After sending Zeng Gongliang and the two away, Zhao Zhen finally completed the inspection work and prepared to return to the palace refreshed.
However, since I have come out, of course I have to accompany my wife!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen turned into another road on the way back to the palace.
At the same time, a group of uninvited guests came to the wharf by the Yellow River......
"Lord Lai Yi, Song Guo is almost here!" A pockmarked guy in mop shoes, with two small mustaches, knelt outside the cabin door and said respectfully inside.
The curtain of the hatch was opened, and a man who looked much more handsome and stronger than the kneeling one, also wearing mop shoes, staggered onto the deck.
"Aso-kun, where are we now?" This guy called Lord Lai Yi, named Minamoto Yoriyi, is the son of a military general of an island country. He stood at the bow of the boat and stretched hard before calling the kneeling fellow over.
"Hmm......" Aso Jian couldn't help but shake his head, looking at it from afar, and seemed to stir it up a few times in his mind before he spoke: "Lord Lai Yi, this should be the Yellow River of the Song Kingdom, I came to my father once ten years ago, and the river at that time didn't seem to be as muddy as it is now!" ”
"Then how long will it take to get to the capital of the Song Kingdom? I always hear you say how prosperous the capital of the Song Kingdom is, and you yearn for it! Yuan Laiyi stretched out his arms and looked into the distance.
"Lord Lai Yi, I think it's almost there, I guarantee that your trip is worthwhile! There's a boat over there, why don't we lean over and ask? Aso pointed to him as he pointed to a large boat in the middle of the river.
"Yo Si! Lean in and ask! ”
Half an hour later......
"Aso-kun, why haven't you caught up with others yet, didn't you say that our ship is an imitation of the most advanced technology of the Song Kingdom?" Minamoto Yoriyoshi complained to Aso Kennin with some annoyance.
Aso Kennin replied sincerely: "Lord Laiyi, I didn't lie to you, ten years ago, it was indeed the best technique of the Song Kingdom, and my father personally asked the Emperor of the Song Kingdom to come!" You can see that the other boats on this river are about the same speed as us, but they are a little slower than us, but the boats are not only much bigger, but they have not seen the oars yet. I think that the first ship must have been spelled by a master, otherwise how could it run so fast without oars! I also heard that there were many hermits in the Song Kingdom, who were strong in martial arts, had great magical powers, called for wind and rain, split mountains and opened roads, and could do anything. Look at the big ship, there are two big wheels spinning, maybe it's the god who is casting spells, let's stay away from it! ”
Yuan Laiyi thought for a long time, thinking that there was a god Amaterasu in such a small place, and there were many gods in such a powerful country as the Song Kingdom, so he really didn't mess with the subtlety: "Okay! Find a regular boat and ask for the next way. ”
After a few days of trekking and asking a few passers-by, Yuan Laiyi and his entourage were finally able to see the capital of the Song Kingdom from a distance.
One by one, they packed their bags, brushed their hair, and took out a brand-new large white flag (the flag of the Samurai Genji family) and hung it on the mast, and then moved forward again.
Since the formal establishment of the river defense fleet, dozens of warships have joined the patrol sequence, and a number of lookout posts have been set up along the river, which will light wolf smoke and release carrier pigeons at the same time when there is a situation.
The fact that Yuan Laiyi and his entourage parked the boat in the middle of the river also attracted the attention of the lookout post of the river defense fleet outside the capital, and the sentry saw from the clairvoyance that these people dressed completely different from themselves appeared in the Gyeonggi important place, and did not dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly beat the big drum on the top of the guard tower, while the other person waved the flag vigorously.
As the drums sounded, groups of soldiers boarded the two warships in a quick and orderly manner, and in a few moments, they slowly sailed away from the dock and roared downstream......
Yuan Laiyi was happily blowing the river wind on the bow of the boat, and suddenly saw two big boats down the river, and the baby who had not seen much of the strange still called out excitedly: "Aso-kun, come and see, there are two more great gods here......
Aso Jiannin hurriedly glanced at it, he didn't know if he didn't see it, he was startled when he saw it, he was not like himself, a master who had never seen the world, whether it was good for someone else's ship to have a dragon head!
"Lord Lai Yi, those two ships should be the ships of the Song Imperial Court, we'd better give them the way down......" Aso Jian couldn't help but hesitate, but decided to remind his master, it is better to refute his face than to offend the Song people!
"Dowusita (why)?" Yuan Laiyi turned his head to look at him in confusion.
Aso had no choice but to explain: "Lord Lai Yi, do you know, in the Song Kingdom, only their Emperor His Majesty can use the dragon head decoration, you see that there is a five-clawed golden dragon flag on the red and blue background on the ship, although I have not seen this kind of flag last time, it must be inseparable from the Song Imperial Court...... We can't afford to mess with it! ”
"Sodersler!" Yuan Laiyi listened to Aso's words, and he was also as good as a stream, the island people of this era have not yet developed that arrogant arrogance, and the Song Kingdom is still an insurmountable behemoth in their hearts, and it is also their heart's desire, and they even do not hesitate to send women to "borrow seeds".
After obtaining Minamoto Yoriyoshi's consent, Aso was ready to direct the sailors to drive the ship to the side. But his kindness, the commanders of the two warships of the Song Dynasty obviously did not understand.
On one of the warships, a guy who looked like a big official raised this loudspeaker and yelled in the direction of the island nation's ship: "Listen to the ship in front! We are the Great Song River Defense Fleet, and we order you to stop the ship immediately and accept the inspection......"
Minamoto Yoriyoshi and Aso Kenshinobu looked at each other, exchanged brain waves for a moment, and decided to follow the greetings of the two boats on the other side. Compared with others, this boat is a small sampan, in case people are not happy to give themselves a Mount Tai to cry, there is no place to cry.
Seeing that the other party obediently stopped the ship, the squad leader on the Song State warship pulled his throat and shouted: "All the hemp drips onto the deck, cooperate with the inspection!" ”
When the ship approached, the Song Dynasty sailors quickly turned the wheel and slowly lowered the ladder placed on the side of the ship, which was also designed for the string. Groups of marines quickly rushed down the ladder to the opposite ship, armed with weapons on guard against the boatload, and these islanders also put their hands on the hilts of their swords and waited for them.
Considering the different battlefield environments, the marines are more often used to prevent the enemy from connecting or landing on enemy ships, and their weapon configuration is closer to that of the temple front division, the difference is that there is one less soldier with a round shield and a broadsword, five shield soldiers and crossbowmen, and even the squad leader is equipped with an additional crossbow. In this way, in the narrow range of the warship, a shield and a crossbow can cooperate with each other, and they can attack and retreat and defend.
The people of these island countries in front of them don't know any repeaters, nor do they know the power of repeaters, so in their eyes, those with shields in front of them are more deterrent.
One of the two warships of the Song Kingdom stayed not far away to stand guard, and the squad leader with the horn followed to the ship of the island country. When he saw that the other party actually had a knife pulled, he was instantly angry: "? ? I want to rebel! You guys who don't have shoes to wear, do you still want to make a mistake in the realm of my Great Song Dynasty? It's not boring to live, isn't it, and my sister didn't throw your broken copper and iron to me......"
"Eight Tooth Road!" Although Yuan Laiyi couldn't understand what this officer of the Song Kingdom was yelling at, he could see from his expression that he didn't say anything good, thinking that he was also a character in his own place, even if you Song Kingdom was big, you Song Guo couldn't bully people like this, no, his anger was also accumulating rapidly, and he was ready to draw his sword and tell them about our immature bushido spirit.
"What's up? Do you have an opinion? I'll tell you, if your claws don't leave your, believe it or not, he'll shoot you into a sieve in minutes! The squad leader held the microphone in one hand and raised the crossbow in the other, and the other soldiers were ready to shoot when they saw this.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty, who still regarded themselves as a great power, did not take these so-called international people in their eyes, just a group of Fanbang, and if they shoot, they will shoot, who can say no!
Yuan Laiyi didn't understand what the Song Dynasty officer said, but Aso Jianren was a professional translator, he rushed up, grabbed Yuan Laiyi's hand quickly, muttered a few words in his ear, and hurriedly ran to the front of Song **, nodded and said: "Hello, my lord!" We are not bad people, we are the mission of the Great Japan in the land of the rising sun, and we have come to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, which is our specialty, and please be accommodating......"
The captain took a large string of copper plates, which was specially prepared by Aso Jianshinobi, he took it in his hand and checked it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!" Seeing that you are so sensible, I reluctantly accepted it. The people who call for you should hand over their weapons and register with us, and I will inform the Ministry of Rites so that they can entertain you. ”
"Do you still have to hand over your weapons? There are some souvenirs here, you can put them away! Weapons are the life of our samurai, and you can see if you can be accommodating again...... Besides, we can't keep ourselves safe without weapons! Aso Kennin gave the money while persuading with kind words.
The officer of the Song Dynasty still accepted the copper plate very happily, but he had no intention of changing his attitude at all: "Don't be verbose! If you want to come to our court, you will follow our rules, as for the safety of the matter, you don't have to worry about it, of course we will protect our territory, if you don't want to do it, it's not impossible...... Then go back and forth! ”
"Huh? Why are you so unsophisticated? Ten years ago, when I came to your country, your people were very talkative after receiving money! How can you do that? "Aso Jianren is very sad, why has the Song Kingdom, who used to be very talkative, changed!
"Who knows what happened ten years ago? Anyway, my emperor said that if you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of the bastard, but you must abide by the rules that you should abide by if you take advantage of others. Brothers, you can go to Siqi Restaurant tonight to improve the food, I really miss the taste of braised pork ribs! After this guy finished sighing, he said loudly to Aso Jianshinobu: "Decide quickly, what do you want to do, we don't have time to spend here with you!" ”
Aso Jian Shinobu wanted to say it again, but this Song man just didn't get in the oil and salt, so he had to go back to do the ideological work of his master in frustration, he had come so far, he couldn't just go back!
In the end, this group of Japanese obediently followed the orders of the Song Dynasty officers, surrendered their weapons, and waited for a long time before being led to the post house by the people of the Ministry of Rites.
"Phew," the Song Dynasty officer spat at their backs.
The soldier next to him didn't understand: "My lord, everyone has given us money, why are you still not happy?" ”
"Recruit egg, you know what! The emperor has said that these states have no good intentions when they come to our country, it is nothing more than a reward for us, you see that they drove that broken ship, and they didn't bring anything to us, and when the time comes, they will pull a boatload of our things back! You say, will you still give them a good face? ”
"That definitely can't be, the little ones aren't stupid! My lord, will you have a problem collecting this money, but the small ones are not easy to mess with! ”
"It's okay, Lord Ben will go to them to register and explain the situation, so that we will be fine, we should eat and drink at night, and call all the brothers!"
"Okay!"
