Chapter 256: No Fear of Weak Song

Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, and when the people of the Special Administrative Region were unscrupulously discussing the general trend of the confrontation between Song and Jin, what was Wan Yan Jing, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, doing?

In the eighteenth year of Chunxi, that is, the ninth day of the third month of the second year of Mingchang, the result of this day's court meeting was still very satisfactory to Wan Yanjing. Although there were many controversies among his subordinates, he still quite smoothly passed the emperor's plan to repair the Confucian Temple, which cost a lot of money, according to the young emperor's will, the Confucian Temple should be built more magnificently than all previous dynasties, and it was decided to let the Confucian Temple use glazed tiles.

In addition, in order to build momentum to the extreme, Wan Yanjing decided to engage in an unprecedented measure to respect Confucius, that is, to set up the famous dismounted monument in history, in fact, it is to put a stone tablet in front of the Confucian Temple, and the big book on the monument is "civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc.

This thing is a bit ironic, I think that when the Jin soldiers went south, a fire almost made the Confucian Temple burn to a fine light, and now to advocate Confucianism and vow to accept the heart of the world's scholars, Wan Yan Jing took office, and suddenly held the Confucian saint to the sky, which can only be reminiscent of the word "overkill", the Jin people are condescending, but this move is really quite able to win people's hearts.

Wan Yanjing thought that this was a proud hand to win the hearts of the scholars, and imagined that from now on, there should never be a talent like Xin Qiji who crossed south to return to the Song Dynasty, and the mood at this moment seemed very good.

After saying that, Yan Jing took over from his imperial grandfather, just ascended the throne for three or four months, and won a big lottery - the Yellow River burst the embankment, it was in May of the same year, the Yellow River broke in the north of the Caozhou embankment, and the Ministry of Industry had to organize six million manpower to repair the Yellow River.

As the saying goes, disaster does not go alone, as soon as the Yellow River broke its embankment here, the Tatar Department and the Hongji Thorn Department in the north took advantage of the situation to rebel and rebelled against the Jin Dynasty. These guys who worshiped at the feet of the Jin Dynasty in the past actually dared to rebel blatantly, and they paid it back! It is conceivable that the generals of the Jin Dynasty, who thought they were strong and incoherent, advocated sending troops to suppress them.

However, the head of the family only knew that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, and Wan Yan Jing was in charge, and now that he was suffering from the disaster, he had to consider this matter carefully. Although Wan Yanjing did not think that the Mongols in the north could defeat the dignified Jin Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers, even if they were the Meng'an Mouke who were constantly corrupted and their combat power was declining, it was not something that the Mongol barbarians could contend with.

Wan Yan Jing faced the generals and asked for battle, and said:

"Now the south is discussing the Sai River, and it is not the right time to reuse troops in the north."

After Yan Jing's words, he vetoed the use of troops against Mongolia.

In fact, in the hands of Jin Shizong, the grandfather of Wanyan Jinghuang, Meng'an Mouke, an organization equivalent to the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, began to degenerate, just like the children of the Eight Banners will basically become idle playthings in the end, the real Jurchens in this era are all aristocratic levels, can enslave the Han people, enjoy the happy time of slavery, and at the same time, the ability to ride and shoot is slowly abandoned.

In this regard, Wan Yanjing's solution is to study the Han and Tang civilizations in a comprehensive way, for example, abolish slavery and liberate the productive forces, of course, Wan Yanjing probably doesn't understand the word "liberate the productive forces", but he is actually ready to do so. Before the implementation of the reform of Meng'an Mouke and the abolition of slavery, the current Wanyan Jing spared no effort to implement the Confucian rule of culture, respected Confucius and valued Confucianism, and almost proposed the "overall Song Dynasty".

The overhaul of the Confucian Temple is one of the major initiatives. Maybe in his heart, Wan Yan Jing figured out this move and made a declaration - I am a dignified Jurchen, and I will never be on the same list as the barbarians from now on, and I will seriously enter the advanced civilization!

Yes, although Wan Yan Jing is an authentic Jurchen, but under the cultivation of Jin Shizong, Wan Yan Jing has long been an admirer of Chinese culture.

But after saying that, Yan Jing arranged the overhaul of the Confucian Temple in accordance with the rules today, and he was in a good mood.

This is a calligraphy of Huang Tingjian, as a friend of calligraphy and painting, Wan Yanjing, while appreciating Huang Tingjian's brushwork, couldn't help but turn his wrists and fingers, and the young emperor also made up his brain, imagining Huang Tingjian's hearty and straight book, and couldn't help but revel in it.

Many people can't imagine that Wan Yanjing, a Jurchen, is a desperate admirer of Chinese culture, and he himself is also good at calligraphy and painting. However, Wan Yan Jing and Zhao Ji do have something to do with it, and Wan Yan Jing's mother is Zhao Ji's granddaughter. Because of such genetic factors, don't say it, when it comes to calligraphy and painting, ordinary Han emperors may not be comparable to Wan Yan Jing.

Wan Yan Jing wanted the little eunuch to wait for the pen and ink, so that he could copy it.

At this time, a eunuch came to report:

"Your Majesty, the right to participate in politics and ask for a meeting."

"Oh, please!"

After Yan Shouzhen entered the study after participating in the governor's affairs, he was about to pay a big salute, but Yan Jing hurriedly stepped forward to help him as usual, and said:

"Aiqing is exempt."

Wanyan Shouzhen is an old courtier with old qualifications, and this bit of face is to be given.

"What's the matter with Aiqing?"

"The report told the emperor that the movable type printing press was finally successfully trial-produced today after several months of trial production."

"Oh, so very good, some time ago my big gold wax paper engraving finally passed, everything can no longer rely on the Song people, I am very relieved, I think that the wax paper engraving is really a great weapon, it is really the blessing of my big gold scholar. Today's movable type printing is successful again, which shows that my Dajin craftsmen are not inferior to the Song people. Congratulations! Let's go, go with me and have a look. ”

Half a year ago, those Han craftsmen finally came up with a set of wax paper engraving, although the quality is not as good as Mao's production, but so-so can also be used, it must be said that the wax paper engraving this big killer in teaching is too significant, is to wax paper engraving after the success, the relevant craftsmen have been rewarded.

Prior to this, the Jin Dynasty also bought a set of printing presses from the Mao Group, but the price was ridiculously high, so Wan Yanjing ordered the organization of a cottage, but it was not as good as the cottage wax paper engraving, and the lead printing technology was so good for the cottage, and a lot of craftsmen were mobilized, and a lot of money was spent, but it was repeatedly frustrated.

As soon as he saw Yan Jing's excited and inexplicable appearance, Yan Shouzhen sweated profusely, and said that I was just reporting good news, not bad news, and then took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, handed them over, and said:

"Your Majesty, please see, this is what it looks like when it is printed, and it is still slightly inferior to the machine of the Song people."

Wan Yan Jing took a look, only to know that this "slightly inferior" real scene, two printing proofs, one paper on the ink is slightly lighter, but the obvious lack of pen and stroke, the other paper printed handwriting is not lack of pen and stroke, but the ink is very thick, but many places are soaked in ink soak badly, even so, the handwriting can be seen clearly, which is also the reason why Wan Yan Shouzhen dares to say success.

Wan Yanjing's face suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly:

"The movable type printing effect can only be said to be passing, and it can be regarded as a success! Aiqing, explain it, this matter still needs to be worked on. ”

Wanyan Shouzhen knew that the young emperor's spirit was very high, but the Song people's tricks were really incomprehensible, and many of those craftsmen came from the old Bianjing craftsman families, and they had been groping for a long time, barely to achieve such an effect.

What Wanyan Shouzhen didn't know was that if Mao Geng was there, he would definitely sneer, damn! If you want to be a cottage, you can be a cottage, if it's so simple, I don't have to mix it! Without antimony, this lead word will not pass the test, and besides, the ink is not so simple.

Wan Yanjing's originally excited mood was immediately hit. He secretly complained in his heart, these Song people are indeed incomparable in terms of strange skills and tricks.

After another two days, Wanyan Xiang reported good news, this time the trial production of the musket was successful, of course, the musket is also a copycat version.

- "Report to the emperor, the musket has now been successfully made, do you want the emperor to come and watch in person?" ”

"Oh, did it work? Okay, I'll go and see. ”

After Yan Jing said hello, his own eunuch came to Wan Yan Jing's royal horse, Wan Yan Jing stepped on his mount and went straight to the shooting range.

Clustered to the shooting range, there were already golden soldiers ready to stop.

Under the gaze of Wan Yanjing, a golden soldier was a little hurried to open the chamber of the lever-type musket, then poured gunpowder into the chamber, and stuffed a lead pellet into it, and then closed the chamber with a snap, after closing, sprinkled a little gunpowder in the ignition pool, and then raised the musket and aimed ahead.

This is a copycat version of the big golden musket, because none of the goldsmiths have ever seen what a real musket looks like, and they can make it like this with the specious description from the secret agent, and they can only sigh that the Jin people are very lucky, they have a group of descendants who have inherited the skills of the top craftsmen of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the descendants of these Northern Song Dynasty craftsmen still have two brushes.

The next moment, someone cheered "hit".

Wan Yan Jing couldn't wait to walk towards the wooden target, only to see that the half-inch thick wooden target was pierced, Wan Yan Jing gasped in his heart, and said in his heart that this musket was so powerful.

"I didn't think that the musket was more powerful than the bow and crossbow!"

When he walked to the side, he asked Yan Xiang:

"With this musket, the Song people no longer have the advantage of Dajin riding and shooting, isn't it dangerous!"

As soon as Yan Jing thought of all the shortcomings in the army now, and the Song people came up with such sharp weapons again, he couldn't help but be a little worried about the country under his ass, which was normal.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry! According to Chen's observation, the musket had a range of only twenty or thirty paces, and it was very difficult to load, and the shooting was quite cumbersome, especially if it could not fight in the rain. Therefore, it seems that the musket is very powerful, but in fact it is useless. Even if the Song army used this firearm, it was still not the opponent of my Dajin's powerful cavalry, not to mention that the Song army was afraid of death, and it would be difficult for me to be the front of my Dajin fierce soldiers. If it weren't for the vertical and horizontal water network of the Song Realm, which was not conducive to the gallop of our cavalry, my Dajin would have destroyed the Song Dynasty long ago. ”

The one who spoke was a middle-aged general with a meaty face, Wan Yanjing had an impression of this person, this person's name was Thorn Latu. Generals generally feel good about themselves, but of course, if they don't feel good about themselves, they don't dare to fight.

However, when the martial artist spoke, he was not convinced, Wan Yan Jing turned to Wan Yan Xiang and asked:

"What does Aiqing think?"

"The Song people have long had firearms such as thunderbolts, which are acceptable to defend the city, but they are useless in field battles. It's not that the ministers underestimate the Song army, the Song soldiers are really weak, and with their meager combat strength, the Song army never dares to fight against our Dajin Iron Cavalry, and the Song army has been defeated repeatedly before, which is the proof. Weak Song is not enough to be afraid of! ”
