Chapter 34: Sunflower Ancestor (4,000 Words)
As Guo Jing judged, the Mongolian camp was indeed roaring.
Although the Mongols' conquests in these decades have been smooth sailing and invincible, they are after all a nation that can only eat meat and will not farm, so each war will cause a large number of population losses, although the invasion of the Southern Song Dynasty sent 600,000 troops, but most of them are from the destroyed Western Regions, Central Asia and the Jin State to plunder the slaves, loyalty is insufficient, and the combat power is doubtful.
The battlefield is a place where you live and die, and the slightest carelessness will cause heavy casualties, not to mention that a few days ago, 50,000 Mongolian elite cavalry were almost completely annihilated by two Han Chinese, which caused huge psychological pressure on the Mongolian invaders.
What if those two Han people come to kill?
It was the middle of the night, many people were sleeping soundly, but the tent suddenly caught fire, and the speed of spreading was very fast, especially their war horses did not know who released them, and in an instant, hundreds of thousands of war horses galloped, causing countless stampede casualties in this dark night.
The fire burned, the horses stepped on, and the camp began in this way.
Soon after, Guo Jing took thousands of Jianghu rebels and 20,000 regular troops of the Great Song Dynasty out of the city and attacked and killed the Mongol camp overnight. The Mongol army, which numbered hundreds of thousands, collapsed on this dark night.
In the midst of the chaos, Ling Chi and Xiaolongnu held hands, waved their long swords, and a hurricane struck.
The battle lasted from dark to dawn, and the Mongol invaders were defeated. However, Guo Jing and the others only killed 350,000 Mongolian soldiers, and what really caused heavy losses to the Mongolian soldiers was the trampling of horses, the cannibalism of the Mongolian soldiers when they fled for their lives, and the hurricane strangulation of Ling Chi and Xiaolongnu.
But no one expected that the biggest result of this war was won by Shuang'er.
In the dark night, Shuang'er had two large bamboo baskets wrapped around her waist, which were filled with small stones, she put her hands on the stones, and saw that the Mongolian soldiers were shot with stones, either mutilated or killed.
In the midst of the chaos, she saw a small group of troops escorted by a few hundred people rapidly retreating towards the north.
"Big fish!" Twin eyes lit up.
Can't let go!
Shuang'er frantically threw stones at this small force, like machine-gun fire.
But the combat power of these hundreds of people was unexpectedly strong, and they actually blocked most of Shuang'er's stone attacks. Fortunately, she wrapped two baskets of stones, enough for tens of thousands, and although most of them were blocked, she finally won by quantity and shot these people cleanly.
When Shuang'er walked over to identify them, he found that there were two acquaintances here. One is Yin Kexi, the other is Xiao Xiangzi, and the others seem to be extraordinary from their dresses, especially one of them, who has a golden knife pinned to his waist.
Shuang'er went to chase and kill the Mongol soldiers for the time being, and after shooting all the stones, he ran back here to squat. She wanted to wait for Guo Jing to come over to identify these people and see how many important Mongolian generals there were?
After dawn, Shuang'er met a group of regular soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and when they saw the decorations of these Mongols, they all shouted excitedly, wanting to seize these credits, but they were immediately taught a lesson by Shuang'er, and ran to find Guo Jing with a blue nose and swollen face.
Guo Jing heard the news, and soon came to the scene, and saw that it was a little girl guarding here, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Little girl, are you?" β
"My name is Shuang'er, Ling Chi's sister." Shuang'er looked at Guo Jing and asked, "Are you Guo Jing?" β
"Brother Ling's sister!?" Guo Jing and everyone behind him exclaimed, Guo Jing was suddenly excited: "It turned out to be Brother Ling's sister, and it was Guo Jing down there." After a pause, he asked, "Shuang'er girl, did you kill these Mongols?" β
"I killed it." Shuang'er nodded and said, "I don't know who they are, but they look very unusual, you can identify them, and if you have any credit, remember to record it on my brother." β
"Okay, okay." Guo Jing immediately stepped forward to identify it, and soon after, Guo Jing's whole body trembled with excitement.
Xiao Xiangzi, Yin Kexi, Nemo Xing, Ma Guangzuo......
And finally...... Kublai Khan!
"Hahahahahaha-" Guo Jing looked up to the sky and smiled.
Soon, two figures shot in, and a familiar voice came into Guo Jing's ears: "What is Guo Daxia laughing at?" β
Guo Jing stopped laughing, saw the person clearly, and was excited: "Brother Ling! β
The people who came were none other than Ling Chi and Xiaolongnu.
The people in the rivers and lakes who knew Ling Chi were also very excited, and immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Brother Ling, it's really you."
"Brother Ling, I knew it had to be you."
"Brother Ling just annihilated 50,000 Mongolian cavalry a few days ago, and last night he burned the company camp and defeated the Mongolian army, Brother Ling, you are the hero of the Han people in the whole world!"
"Brother Ling is amazing! Brother Ling is awesome! β
ββ¦β¦β
Ling Chi's face flushed from praise.
Why blush? Refreshed.
"Ahh Everybody's won the prize, passed the prize. "Go on, continue to praise brother, brother can withstand it.
β¦β¦
On the same day, the battle report of the Xiangyang defenders breaking the Mongolian 'million army' was quickly transmitted back to Lin'an.
When Song Lizong finished reading the battle report, the whole person trembled.
The court has long been in chaos, and the civil and military officials are all full of red light, and they celebrate each other.
The Great Song Dynasty defeated a million Mongol invaders, which gave them a sense of accomplishment even more than the destruction of the Jin, especially since the price they paid was very small, and the station newspaper said that the defenders of the city only lost a few thousand men and horses, which was almost negligible.
Victory! Brilliant victory like never before!
Although the land area of the Southern Song Dynasty is not large, but the population is as much as 70 million, which is not much better than the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as the Southern Song Dynasty changed its national policy and paid equal attention to civil and military affairs, it would not be difficult to send the Mongols back to the steppe.
And this great victory over Mongolia gave Song Lizong the hope of becoming an emperor through the ages.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that my Great Song Dynasty is carrying a great victory, should I take advantage of the victory to pursue and regain the lost territory?"
As soon as Song Lizong spoke, there was silence in the court. A violent quarrel ensued.
The military attache camp raised their hands and feet in favor, for them, it is the duty of military generals to make meritorious achievements, and at this time, Mongolia was defeated and lost, if they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and wait for Mongolia to flee back to ease up, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up.
However, the civilian officials were vigorously opposed, their reason was that the war preparation was insufficient, and the number of cavalry was scarce, and if they took the initiative to attack, they were afraid that they would be killed by the Mongol cavalry on the plain.
The military attachΓ©s even rolled up their sleeves and pressed the civil officials to the ground and beat them violently, and these civil officials cried wolf howls, but they still refused to let go, shouting: "You can't fight!" Death by belligerence! β
These civil officials were harmed by Cheng Zhu Lixue, and in the future generations, they will be GZJY that everyone despises, and they will be hopeless.
Song Lizong was choked with anger, and waved his hand: "Let's discuss it tomorrow and retreat from the dynasty!" β
The military attache kicked these spineless civil officials a few times again, spitting: "Cheap bones, not men!" β
The civil official screamed, but his mouth was unforgiving: "Vulgar martial arts, thieves who mislead the country." β
The noisy court slowly quieted down as these people exited, and Song Lizong walked back and sat on the dragon chair, upset.
He began to wonder if Taizu's national policy of emphasizing literature over military force was correct? Although since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, wealth and national strength have been thriving, why are they always bullied?
was first bullied by the Liao State, then the Liao State perished, and then the Jin State was bullied, and finally the Jin State also perished, and now there is a Mongolia that is more powerful than the Jin State, and the bullied are even more ruthless.
Could it be that my Da Song is the life of being bullied?
"Unwilling?"
The sudden appearance of the voice made Song Lizong stunned: "Who!?" β
"Don't be afraid." A figure jumped down from the beam, patted the dust on his body, and said, "I'm here to help you." β
Song Lizong looked at the person in front of him, about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in black, handsome, tall and thin, and his smile looked very pleasing to the eye.
"There are assassins! Escort! Song Lizong was very calm, but the eunuchs beside him screamed, instantly attracting hundreds of forbidden troops.
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at these forbidden troops who were like facing a great enemy, the person who came shrugged: "I said that there is no malice, why be so nervous." After a pause, he sneered slightly: "Besides, if I want to kill someone, who can stop me?" β
With hundreds of forbidden troops to protect him, Song Lizong felt a lot more at ease, but when he heard the last sentence, he was angry, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" Why are you here? β
"You've probably heard my name." The person who came smiled faintly: "My name is Ling Chi." β
"Ling Chi?" Song Lizong was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise and jumped up: "You are Ling Chi!?" β
"Ling Chi!?" The forbidden army was also shocked: "He ...... He is the anti-Mongolian hero Ling Chi!? β
Seeing that these people had heard of him, Ling Chi felt quite complacent, but on the surface, he smiled indifferently and said, "It's just me." β
Brother said that, it's modest enough, right?
ββ¦β¦β
Song Lizong felt a strong aura of pretending.
Coughed dryly: "It turned out to be Ling Shaoxia in person." He waved his hand to the forbidden army: "Stand down." β
The forbidden army was about to retreat without saying a word, but the eunuch beside Song Lizong shouted: "Slow! How do you prove that you are Ling Chi? β
Prove?
Ling Chi glanced at the eunuch.
This is an old eunuch, his hair and eyebrows are white, but although he looks old, he has a good complexion, and his face has fewer wrinkles, and he seems to be a master.
Ling Chi's figure flashed, and he instantly rushed to the old eunuch, reaching out to pinch his neck, but the old eunuch actually reacted, and a silver needle shot at him.
This scene made Ling Chi somewhat familiar.
Back then, there was someone who would do the same.
That person is called - the East is undefeated!
Ling Chi used his Tai Chi spiral strength, and with a traction in his hand, he slapped the silver needle back the way it came, and shot it at the old eunuch's shoulder. This time, the old eunuch was too late to dodge, and was shot through the shoulder by a silver needle, and sank into the wall behind him.
The old eunuch snorted and made a few clicks near his shoulder, stopping the blood.
Ling Chi looked at him and narrowed his eyes: "This father-in-law is good at kung fu, I'm afraid he is not under the five uniques." β
The old eunuch changed his face, and complimented him with low eyebrows: "Where is it, compared to Ling Shaoxia, the old slave is too far behind." β
Ling Chi laughed: "Don't doubt it? β
Ling Shaoxia laughed. The old eunuch smiled: "It's not that the old slave is conceited, as Ling Shaoxia said, even if he encounters the Five Uniques, the old slave thinks that he is not far behind, but he is still easily injured by Ling Shaoxia, how can the old slave doubt it?" β
Ling Chi looked at him and asked, "I don't know what kind of martial arts my father-in-law is practicing?" β
"I'm ashamed, it's just a kind of martial arts created by the old slave, and it has no name." The old eunuch said.
"I see." Ling Chi nodded and said, "Why don't you call it the Sunflower Treasure Book?" β
"Sunflower Treasure?" The old eunuch was stunned, although he didn't know what a sunflower was, he still agreed with a grateful face: "Thank you Ling Shaoxia for giving me the name, the old slave's martial arts will be called the Sunflower Treasure Book from today on." β
ββ¦β¦β
Ling Chi touched his chin, thoughtful.
Sunflowers are native to South America, and they should have entered China during the Ming Dynasty, but they are definitely not available now. Therefore, the name Sunflower Treasure Book must have come from the Ming Dynasty, but the description of the Sunflower Book in Jin Yong's original work was from the eunuchs of the previous dynasty.
The previous dynasty of the Ming Dynasty was the Yuan Dynasty, but the Mongols did not have a eunuch culture when they established the Yuan Dynasty, and it was not until the middle and late stages that the Han culture was accepted, and eunuchs entered the court. At that time, there was even a very famous Goryeo eunuch, but these eunuchs did not have the cultural foundation of the Han Dynasty, and it was difficult for them to create such a profound martial arts as the Sunflower Treasure Book.
Then the possibility of creating a sunflower treasure book during the Song Dynasty is relatively high. It's just that the name of the exercise is definitely not the Sunflower Treasure Book, even if there are no sunflowers in the Yuan Dynasty, where does the Sunflower Book come from?
Therefore, the exercises have always existed, but it was not until the Ming Dynasty that the name was set by later generations.
If the eunuch who created his own martial arts at the beginning set a title for his martial arts, it would be a chrysanthemum treasure book......
Chrysanthemum...... It's very in line with the character of the eunuch!
But now, with his participation, the Sunflower Treasure Book came out ahead of schedule.
Perhaps future generations will get this secret book, which will definitely be used as an important reference historical material to prove that sunflowers have entered China during the Southern Song Dynasty, otherwise how do you explain the name of the sunflower book?
This thrill of participating and changing history is a little exciting to say!
"Well, since your martial arts are a sunflower treasure, then you should call it Sunflower Ancestor! In the future, he will also be able to leave a name on the rivers and lakes. Ling Chi nodded and said.
"...... "What can the old eunuch say?" I can only nod my head.
Sunflower Ancestor? Sounds pretty imposing.
Ling Chi also felt more and more pleasure.
It's cool to change history!
ββ¦β¦β
The forgotten Song Lizong coughed dryly and said, "Ling Shaoxia is here, and he is not welcomed. Come, give a seat! β
The forbidden troops withdrew, and a eunuch brought a chair for Ling Chi to sit under the hall.
Ling Chi didn't mind sitting short, he wasn't one of those dragons, he had to be tall. It's okay to have a seat.
The old eunuch was a little injured, confessed his guilt, and went down to stop the bleeding, and only he and Song Lizong were left in the court.
At this time, Song Lizong looked at him and asked, "Ling Shaoxia just said that he came to help me?" β
Ling Chi nodded: "Not bad." β
"Good! That's great! Song Lizong rubbed his hands excitedly: "I will decree that Ling Shaoxia will be the general of the protector......"
"Wait." Ling Chi waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in being a general, but I have an idea, the emperor might as well refer to it." β
"Oh?"
Afterwards, Ling Chi narrated his plan.
