Chapter 7: The Tragedy of Shaolin (7)

The great monk Zhikong sat in the meditation room, lowered his head, and looked deep in thought. The monks next to him were all pale, and they all looked like they wanted to speak and stopped. On the first day, there were 33 gambling fights, and Shaolin Temple lost 31 games, winning only two. Of the 301 bets, whoever wins 151 first wins. If the next gambling fight is like today, Song Jun will win in two or three days.

The fists and feet of the monks and soldiers are the foundation of the Shaolin Temple's fame, and it has supported the name of the Shaolin Temple since the time of Li Shimin, and it has protected the Shaolin Temple from countless threats. Today's competition was launched in full view of everyone, and the great monks still had to show their faces, but they really couldn't say what Song Jun was cheating.

After being silent for a while, a monk finally spoke: "The fist is afraid of being young and strong, and the people sent by the Song army are all in their twenties. We also have to send young and strong monks. ”

This statement was echoed by other monks. The monks began to express their opinions on the martial arts of the Song army.

"I see that the official and military kung fu is simple and bright. It's about flexible feet and quick moves. This is not to be underestimated. ”

"The spearmanship of the officers and soldiers only has stabs back and forth, and there are no moves such as collapse. We can spread our stance and keep the officers and soldiers from approaching. ”

"The swordsmanship of the officers and soldiers is the same. But their swords are long, and we suffer. Don't compare swordsmanship with the officers and soldiers. ”

"Don't send people to fight with swords, and you can't send short soldiers. We competed with the officers and soldiers in swordsmanship, and the officers and soldiers also sent swordsmen out. ”

"Don't you understand, the officers and soldiers can only use fists and feet, short spears, and swordsmanship. They don't know anything else at all. ”

……

The wisdom of the masses is infinite, and a group of people who understand martial arts have discussed for a while, and they have already seen the characteristics of the Song army. After discussing it for a while, everyone also worked out many countermeasures. Then they heard the Great Monk Zhikong suddenly speak: "What if we are defeated? ”

Immediately, a monk replied loudly: "We will not be defeated." There are just a few moves back and forth between the officers and the army. Our Shaolin Temple's seventy-two stunts are not in vain. ”

The Great Monk Zhikong insisted that he would not fail, and the Great Monk Zhishen had already sent an envoy to the Song army camp. The monk sent last time still has the taste of the lord of Songshan, and this time the monk naturally set his status as a good monk under the rule of the imperial court. Standing in front of Yang Tiexin with low eyebrows, the monk respectfully told the attitude of Shaolin Temple to admit his mistakes.

After Yang Tiexin heard this, he said calmly: "Do you know that you are wrong?" ”

"I know, the monks in the temple already know that they are wrong." The monk hurriedly replied.

"Since you know it's wrong, you can't say it, you have to be taken to Kaifeng and imprisoned. Wait for the official family to decide what to do with you, etc. ”

"This ...... This is not to be done. The monk was frightened by this disposition. After saying this instinctively, the monk felt that it was inappropriate to say this, and hurriedly added, "Doesn't this make the officials and soldiers too hard." ”

Yang Tiexin said mockingly: "If it's so simple, let you go, and wait for other temples to learn from you?" ”

When it was dark, the monk brought the solution proposed by Yang Tiexin back to the great monk Zhishen. Hearing that Song Jun was going to send the monks of Shaolin Temple to Kaifeng for detention, the great monk Zhishen was also dumbfounded. The other great monks who belonged to the 'moderate faction' were also dumbfounded. In the minds of Zhikong and others, as long as the officials and soldiers are willing to leave, Shaolin Temple can pay a great price. It was even possible to promise to return the land to the government.

The so-called green mountains are not worried about no firewood, Shaolin Temple has been in Shaolin Mountain for seven or eight hundred years, and it has experienced a lot of wind and rain. In the past, Shaolin monks were very good at kneeling. It's just that in the last sixty years, the Shaolin Temple has been arrogant in Songshan, which offended the imperial court. The great monk Zhishen felt that he took this opportunity to clean up the guys in the temple, and the Shaolin Temple went back to the old way of kneeling and licking the imperial court.

Song Jun's request completely shattered the illusion of the great monk Zhishen, and all the monks of Shaolin Temple were sent to Kaifeng to uproot these local snakes. Looking at the monk who was shocked, angry, or shocked and angry. Master Zhishen opened his mouth and said, "Let's quickly send someone to the imperial village on the top of the mountain." In any case, we can't let the officers and soldiers wrap us up. ”

The top of the mountain is wide and flat like a village, divided into two floors, and there is the risk of four days of the gate. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, Xuanzong had stationed troops on the top of Shaolin Mountain to resist the Yuan soldiers, so it was also called "Yuzhai Mountain".

Listening to Master Zhishen's order, the great monks hurriedly took action. The so-called wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows. The roots of the Shaolin monks are in the Shaomu Mountain, as long as they can survive the sweep of the anger of the Zhao official family and leave the monks who continue to take root here, the Shaolin Temple will be able to use the power and blessing of the ordinary people here.

At this time, the news about the gambling fight was sent to Zhao Jiaren, and Zhao Jiaren was stunned for a moment after reading it, and then laughed. The staff of the General Staff who sent the news could only smile bitterly. After Zhao Jiaren finished laughing, he couldn't help but praise: "This method is really good." Speaking of it in the future, the world knows that the kung fu of Shaolin Temple is nothing more than that. ”

"Official, I'm afraid that the legend will be that we will be outnumbered by the crowd." The one who sent the message was quite honest.

"Fighting a war is all about outnumbering the enemy, and we have to gather as many forces and firepower as possible on every battlefield of engagement. That's the way to go. ”

The person in the staff felt that the Zhao official family was a little missed, and what he wanted to say was that those who sympathized with the monks probably would not support the imperial court. Just thinking about it, I heard Zhao Jiaren smile and said: "Those guys who support Shaolin monks will never get lost." They were only afraid of the army of the Great Song. Only when the Shaolin Temple is completely solved will they bow their heads. The more thoroughly they solve, the more they know how powerful they are. As for what they say, what they spread. Don't worry about it at all. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Jiaren remembered something, he called the secretary over, "Record it, send a report to Yang Tiexin, tell him, let it go, it is the winner who writes history." ”

After dealing with the affairs of the Shaolin Temple, Zhao Jiaren began to prepare new arrangements. Hangzhou has increasingly shown its limitations as a capital city. The first problem is that the transportation is not convenient enough, and the relocation of the capital has been put on the agenda. The question now is where to move the capital.

According to the geographical situation, China has naturally divided several economic zones. The economic center of the Southern Song Dynasty was naturally south of the Huai River, and the center of the navigation industry in the Great Song Dynasty was also in the south. That is, Nanjing in later generations. Nanjing has a port, and there are several important cities nearby, and the conditions are very good.

But to put it bluntly, this pattern is still a southern regime. A regime for the whole of China, even if it does not have to have its capital in Youzhou, which later became Beijing. At least it has to be located in the Central Plains. The vast Huanghuai Plain and Hebei Plain in the Central Plains are the future food centers of the Great Song Dynasty. Further north, there is the Northeast Great Plains.

Even the important shipbuilding industry of the Great Song Dynasty, the trees that are now used for shipbuilding were cut down from the Liaodong Peninsula. The steel used for shipbuilding is manufactured in steel centers such as Zaozhuang on the Huanghuai Plain. Even if the shipbuilding industry in the south was destroyed in an instant, it would not have any great impact on the shipbuilding industry of the Great Song Dynasty. Thinking of this, Zhao Jiaren ordered the society to summon the head office to Ningbo for a vacation and a meeting.

The resort area in Ningbo is located on the shore of Dongqian Lake. When the high-ranking officials arrived at the lakeside resort by boat, they saw a very beautiful garden. These gardens are well-designed, with centralized venues and individual villas. The adults just moved in with their families and enjoyed a completely relaxing vacation.

Since I'm here for a vacation, it's about eating, drinking, and having fun. After a day's rest, a buffet banquet was held in the afternoon. There is a large amount of prepared food, cakes, snacks, and drinks at the table. At the cooking position, the chefs in snow-white chef suits cook their own specialty dishes. Everyone can choose their preferred type according to their preferences.

Zhao Jiaren and Empress Qin put some grilled oysters in front of them and ate them slowly. Wen Tianxiang also brought a plate of grilled oysters over, and after eating a few, Wen Tianxiang asked: "Official, have you heard that the official army encircled and suppressed the Shaolin Temple, but gambled with the Shaolin monks." ”

"I've heard that." Zhao Jiaren replied.

"Isn't this child's play?"

"It's not enough to kill people. I think it's good that they did it this time. ”

Wen Tianxiang was stunned, and sighed after a moment: "It turns out that the official family thinks so. ”

"Song Rui. Take it easy. This is not a particularly big deal, and the monks of Shaolin Temple are not Mongolians. Even if I kill the bandits, it is impossible for me to kill all the monks of Shaolin Temple. At this time, the attack is more reliable. ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded, then buried his head and continued to eat grilled oysters. Not long after, Foreign Minister Lu Baifeng and Minister of Foreign Affairs Luo Yiren came over with grilled abalone. Lu Baifeng asked, "Can the official family take a copy?" ”

"It's a buffet, and lazy people deserve to starve." Zhao Jiaren said with a smile.

Luo Yiren said with a smile: "What the official said is that this is just like those native soldiers in the colony, if you don't work, you will starve." ”

Smelling the aroma of abalone, Qin Yuzhen stood up and went to the window where the abalone was cooking. Luo Yiren felt that this was an opportunity, so he asked: "Official, I heard that the capital is really going to be moved?" ”

"Why is the Ministry of Domain so concerned about this?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

Luo Yiren hurriedly explained: "Official, we don't care about moving the capital. It's about where the future goes. If the Great Song Dynasty moved the capital to Jiangning, then everything would be as usual. If the capital is moved back to Kaifeng, the situation will be completely different. ”

Zhao Jiaren took a sip of his wine glass, and then asked, "Now that there is a telegram, messaging is no longer a problem. Even if it is a few thousand miles more, it is not completely different. ”

"The official family, once the capital is moved, the composition of the officials in the capital is very different. If the capital is moved to Jiangning, there will definitely be more officials in Sichuan. Moving the capital to Kaifeng will also greatly increase the number of officials in the north. This is the same as now that the Great Song Dynasty is overseas, the original native soldiers are the Japanese and the native soldiers of Jiaozhi and Zhancheng. The farther you go, the more recruits there will be. ”

Zhao Jiaren didn't want to discuss this, he asked: "If you talk about it, but you don't know what the situation is in Europa?" ”
