842, Golden Wheat Wave
Before you know it, the cold and freezing in the north finally ends, the earth is covered with verdant again, the fields are also working, the best grains in winter are sown to the ground, and the whole city is like a big construction site, in full swing.
"When will the Taoist say goodbye this time?"
Wan Yan Jing personally poured a glass of wine for Gu Tao in the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city, and the luxurious carriage had already been prepared next to it, and the six sons were already waiting in the car, they were going to continue on the road, to Lake Baikal in the west, to the most beautiful Beihai.
"It's fate." Gu Tao raised his cup and drank it all: "Your Majesty, don't leave it here." ”
Seeing Gu Tao leave, Wan Yan Jing sat in the pavilion for a long time and did not leave, this winter of getting along, Wan Yan Jing deeply envied this idle man, he wanted to be the same as Gu Tao more than once, wantonly wandering among the mountains and rivers, but the monarch is the monarch, he has no choice, and he can't even say it.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go back."
The big eunuch stepped forward: "I still have to go to the heavens tomorrow, and I have to prepare today." ”
After Yan Jing looked back at the direction Gu Tao left again, then sighed lightly and boarded the carriage, squeaking towards the city, he opened the curtain on the way, looked at the working people, and felt a little more comfort, if there is no accident, this autumn this large wheat field will roll wheat waves, the days of recuperation are actually leisurely, there is no more greed, but let himself feel less tired.
Wan Yanjing picked up a bronze mirror, looked at his face in the mirror, and sighed helplessly, Gu Daochang was a few years older than him, but he looked like a young man in his twenties, but it was a little unworthy to think about it. Since ascending the throne, he has hardly slept a day, and he almost became the king of the dead country, which is really not worth it in the world.
At this moment, Zhao Xing, who was far away in Lin'an, was discussing the policy towards Mongolia with the ministers, and Yan Jing was gone, and now the trouble of Mongolia naturally fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and during the Chinese New Year, news came from the grassland that the various departments of the grassland had been integrated, which was several years earlier than the date estimated by the Taishi, probably because the situation in Song and Jin had changed and completely changed the strategy of the entire Mongolian tribe.
Although the current Great Song Dynasty has powerful firearms, because it has just recovered part of the land of Yanyun, Yunzhou is still in the hands of the Mongols, so there is still a shortage of war horses, so when there is a head-on conflict, before the mass production of cannons, the Great Song Dynasty is still at a disadvantage.
"Official, the Jin State retreated to the north, the Mongols and my Great Song Dynasty confronted each other, according to the current situation, strategic resources need to be gradually moved north, then in addition to military resources, some political resources must also gradually move to the north." Taishi said: "It's time to return to Bianliang. ”
The relocation of the capital, this agenda is very important, but everyone knows that this matter must be implemented, because if Lin'an continues to be the capital, then there will be a huge delay in the strategy of the north, not to mention that in addition to Mongolia, there are Tubo, Western Xia and Western Liao, only when you are in the Central Plains, you can better control the overall situation.
"Well, the master has a point." Zhao Xuan was silent for a moment and then said, "It's just ......"
"Official, there are some reasons not to hesitate, my Great Song Dynasty treasury is abundant, enough to move the capital to Bianliang." Taishi stepped forward: "This matter should not be delayed, if you wait for the border of Mongolian Chen soldiers, it will be too late." ”
After several rounds of disputes, the ministers finally persuaded Zhao Xing, and the Great Song Dynasty finally made the decision to move the capital, unlike the fall of the Jin State, the Song State's relocation of the capital came more planned, and they began to transfer in echelons, and Bianliang City was baptized by the fire of a hundred years ago, and now it is actually a little dilapidated, and it has to be built.
In order not to delay spring plowing and summer planting, Zhao Xing's relocation of the capital may last for more than a year and a half.
While they were busy moving the capital back to Bianliang, Gu Tao was sitting on the prairie eating roast mutton, surrounded by "cruel and unkind" Mongolians, singing and dancing, and serving sweet mare's milk wine to the guests.
Bi Qing was not surprised at all, this is the master's ability, he seems to be able to make friends with anyone, whether it is a Song, a Jin or a Mongolian, and she didn't expect that the master's Mongolian can be spoken so fluently, although he is Han, he has not been embarrassed by the Mongols along the way, and even the Mongolian soldiers can be escorted by them.
"Master, how did you do that? The Mongols have always been ferocious, and they will kill the Han people when they encounter them. ”
Gu Tao tore a piece of fine mutton, raised the mare's milk wine in his hand, and saluted the tribal leader not far away, and the tribal leader also raised his glass, and the two of them drank it all at the same time.
"They can't beat me."
Gu Tao's answer made Bi Qing speechless, but thinking about it, it seems to be true, when he first entered Mongolia, he was indeed often watched, they were interested in Gu Tao, their belongings and women, Gu Tao's general solution was to fight with the most powerful warriors among them, and then he really fought all the way like this, and there has not been a single defeat so far, and even encountered some unreasonable crowds, Gu Tao can also let go of them all by himself, and the terrible combat power made Bi Qing stunned several times, really...... Bi Qing thought that the master was very capable of fighting, but he didn't expect to be so able to fight. More than a dozen or twenty Mongolian warriors, the master slapped them all down with one slap, and they couldn't even resist.
This way, Gu Tao has long been famous among the tribes here, and even called the Han God of War, in the civilization that respects warriors, after being named the God of War, there will be a steady stream of people to challenge, so Gu Tao is not lonely along the way, every once in a while, there will be a few strong men running over to challenge the authority, but without exception they were all pressed to the ground and beaten.
Over time, his reputation became bigger and bigger, and the strong men of the whole Mongolia wanted to have two tricks with Gu Tao, and in the end, he was also respected by all Mongolian tribes because of this direct overturning model, and he would be left to drink wine and eat meat in the name of a VIP in any tribe.
I have to say that life in Mongolia is indeed very difficult, listening to the people in these tribes, because they are close to the Central Plains, their lives are much better, and the life of those tribes in the depths of the grassland is even more difficult, and Gu Tao generally only listens and rarely expresses his opinions.
Because there is really no way to change this kind of hardship, before the modernization reform, life in the steppe is bad and miserable, why is war inevitable? Isn't it because I can't live anymore?
Gu Tao can help them, but the premise is that they are willing to be helped, they are different from the Jin people, the Jin country has been fully sinicized, and Mongolia still retains their own national identity, so it is difficult for them to persuade them with conventional methods, they can only wait for them to meet in Datong and break the bloodstream, and then make plans.
After all, counting the days, Zhao Xing should also be about to send troops to fight Taiyuan, after fighting Taiyuan, it is to surround Datong, and the frontal grassland charge of the Song army may not work, but if it is a siege, the Song army after the ordnance reform can beat the Mongols to self-isolation.
But that was probably after they came back from Lake Baikal, now...... It's good to drink wine and eat meat, and then cut their national pride first, after all, the current Mongolia has just been integrated, and the morale is unprecedentedly high, and there are even some people who have no one in mind.
Of course, Gu Tao doesn't care if he will start a war, he is an observer and an interventionist, if he can stop the war, just like Jin Guo, it doesn't hurt if he does it, but the key is that some wars can't be stopped, even if he goes to tell people Temujin now, "You go to fight Song Guo now, just send your mother" It's strange if people don't cut him down, whether he can be cut to death or not, at least he still has to be cut.
"Warriors! I'm going to challenge you! ”
A drunken man walked up to Gu Tao, revealing a strong tendon meat, Gu Tao glanced at him, put the bowl down, rubbed his hand on his clothes and stood up.
Seeing that someone was going to fight here, the others instantly gathered around, they spontaneously shouted the trumpet, the whole grassland was boiling, and everyone surrounded Gu Tao and the man in the middle, and Gu Tao shook his hand, and the man also took a wrestling posture.
The ending, naturally, it goes without saying, Gu Tao has seven thousand dogs, which is almost invincible in this low-martial arts world, and he easily pressed the man to the ground with his joint technique and couldn't move.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and then shouted the name of the warrior in Mongolian, and those well-proportioned Mongolian girls came over with drinks and frequently toasted and discharged to Gu Tao, anyway...... It's very sassy.
"Minorities are passion." Gu Tao drank a stomach of wine, burped and returned to his campfire, and sat down: "The degree is not high...... I was also a little drunk. ”
Of course, now that Gu Tao is famous in Mongolia, he comes to him not only for challenges, but also for drinking, because they don't know what method Gu Tao used to make spirits, even the best man on the grassland can't bear a few sips.
"That thing is alcohol! These grandsons really dare to drink. Gu Tao saw a man raise his head and drink three hundred milliliters of alcohol, and his face changed: "I'm not afraid of poisoning." ”
Sure enough, not long after the 300 milliliters of alcohol went down, he directly got drunk, and then fell asleep on the ground in a daze, as if he was dead......
"Master, it's so interesting, these people." Bi Qing is now dressed as a Mongolian girl, and she ran over from the pile of girls vividly: "They give me a lot of gifts." ”
"I said no, one of the most striking characteristics of a civilization that has the potential to develop into a high-level civilization is altruism." Gu Tao picked his nose: "The premise is that there is no pressure to survive." ”
At this time, the sixth son yawned: "I'll go to sleep first." By the way, my son is waiting for you at Tingting's side, you can go over later. ”
