Chapter 46 The government and the market are different, but they are not loose in serving the country
When Dang Huaiying heard that Old Lady Shen was praising him, he couldn't help but turn red, and respectfully took the sword and thanked him. But when he thought of his mother's order, he couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Back then, my mother only asked me not to be like my father, and as for what I will do in the future, I have not specified what I can do or what I forbid. ”
Aunt Shen heard Huaiying's voice very small, it was almost impossible to hear it, and knowing that he had what his mother had said in his heart, she was not in a good mood and could not answer reasonably, so she said to him gently:
"Back then, your father, Dang Chunmu, dragged his sick body, and for the sake of the birth and death of the Great Song Dynasty, we have always been very praised. Since Huaiying obeyed her mother's orders, it is a matter of course, besides, you will go undercover in the Jin court in the future, and you will fight with them in the court, and you will also face open guns and hidden arrows, which will not be easy at all. Today, I will tell you a few important stories of undercover characters, so that you can know as soon as possible that going undercover in the enemy camp is more dangerous than fighting on the battlefield, and the force is also greater, and the contribution in the future is also surprisingly great.
"Take Yuwen Xuzhong as an example, he was undercover in the court of the Jin State, and after the change of the Song army and Huaixi, he used the tone of the court to send an envoy with a wax book to try to hand it over to the powerful ministers of the Jin State, and began to fight against Liu Yu of the Jin State and the puppet Qi State. At the same time, Yue Fei also borrowed the hand of the secret agent of the Jin Kingdom, and under the pretense of using the wax letter, he and the traitor Liu Yu agreed with each other to jointly design the art of capturing the Jin Vulture alive. Both of these strategies succeeded, and finally the Jin State was able to depose Liu Yu's puppet Qi regime.
"While doing this, we have General Li Qiong, who has joined the Jin Kingdom, as an internal response, first befriended Wanyan Zonghan (Sticky Han) through the traitor Liu Yu, and deliberately bribed Gao Qingyi, a close confidant of Sticky Han, and then Yuwen Xuzhong dragged Wanyan Zongpan, the son of Jin Taizong, and others to come forward, and executed Gao Qingyi and others on the charge of corruption and perversion of the law, and then the first hero of the founding of the Jin State, Sticky Han, also died of depression. Na Muhan can actually be regarded as the first-class hero of the Jin State, and he made the first contribution in the war of the Jin State to destroy the Liao State and invade the Song State. As soon as this person died, our Great Song Dynasty not only avenged the great revenge of Jingkang's difficulty, but also removed a big hidden danger that was violated by it.
"Our undercover Yuwen Xuzhong and General Li Qiong are also really capable, they will be in Shaoxing for eight years and then rebel against Wanyan Chang (Wanyan tart lazy), let him join Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun and other advocates of peace talks, take the initiative to return the land of Henan and Shaanxi through peace negotiations, it turned out that our Great Song Dynasty did not have much hope, and no one expected that the second year would really become. At that time, the reigning Jin Emperor Wanyan and his adoptive father Wanyan Zonggan were very angry because of this, and immediately killed Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zongjun together with Jin Wushu, Wanyan Xiyin and others. Wan Yan was lazy, and later used a counter-plot to let Jin Wushu kill Wan Yan Xiyin.
"In the early years, when the Jurchens first began to establish the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda brought five sons such as Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongjun, and Wanyan Zongbi, and Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Xianye brothers, and led dozens of Jurchen fierce generals and warriors such as Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Lou, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Ang, Wanyan Hulu, and Wanyan Bali Su, and other dozens of Jurchen fierce generals and warriors, who were united as a monolith internally, and invincible externally, but now they have a tendency to collapse. To be able to do this quietly in the Kingdom of Jin, but it is impossible to do it in any way on the battlefield where the two sides are fighting back and forth.
"After the death of Yan Stickyhan, Jin Wushu gradually gained power in the court of the Jin Kingdom, he used Qin Hui to go undercover in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, but he directly killed Marshal Yue Fei, the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty. But the most regrettable thing is that the traitor Qin Hui intercepted the secret letter sent by Yuwen Xuzhong to the Great Song Dynasty, and told the Jin people the secret, and sent all the family members of Yuwen Xuzhong to the Jin country, causing more than 100 members of Yuwen Xuzhong's family to be burned at the stake in the downtown area.
After Yuwen Xuzhong was exposed to death, Cai Songnian and Cai Chengxiang gradually gained momentum in the court of the Jin Kingdom. Compared with Yuwenxu, Cai Songnian is better at communicating in the court, and he is deeply trusted by Jin Wushu, a powerful minister of the Jin State. His opponent Tian Jue was a close confidant of Han Qixian, the famous minister of the Jin State, and both of them were former ministers who surrendered from the Liao State, and they held a grudge against the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State in the early years to eliminate the Liao State. After their leader Han Qixian died, Tian Jue had the hope of succeeding him as prime minister, and if that would be very detrimental to the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Songnian used a counter-plot and killed him with the Golden Vulture technique. This incident was later rumored to be extremely controversial in the Jin Kingdom, and our counter-plot was also used in a thrilling and extremely clever way. ”
After the death of Jin Wushu, he gradually gained power in the Jin Dynasty, which caused the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty to be deeply jealous, and had to demote him to Kaifeng, Bianjing, to lead the ministry of Taishangshu Province. At that time, Jin Wushu's beloved general Aru Bu happened to be the envoy of the German army, so the two had an intersection, and Cai Songnian took the opportunity to pull the two together to drink.
"Aru Bu because Wan Yan Liang and Wan Yan Kang are both the grandsons of Wan Yan Aguta, the Taizu of the Jin Kingdom, and they are both in the same royal lineage, and he himself relies on the party of Jin Wushu and Wan Yan Kang, so it is natural to express his loyalty to the emperor Wan Yan Kang between his words and deeds. Although he was extremely shrewd at that time, he never thought that Wan Yan Liang would have wanted to kill Yan Liang, the emperor, and replace him. For him, the most terrible thing is that he saw Wan Yan Liang at this time and was not willing, and he had a lot of contempt for him on the spot. Although Wan Yanliang was jealous on the spot that he was a famous general of the Jin State, and knew that it was impossible for him to be brought back, Aru Bu was actually an obstacle to his usurpation of the throne, so he decided to get rid of him immediately.
Soon after Wan Yan Liang arrived in Bianjing, the emperor Wan Yan Yan recruited him back and resumed his peaceful affairs, in fact, he was casually pinching him, but unexpectedly prompted him to rebel even more. Later, Prime Minister Cai Cheng and General Li helped him get the evidence of Alu's crime of taking the official house timber and private official, and Wan Yanliang took the opportunity to kill him. An undercover agent like this seems to be an understatement, but in fact it is frightening step by step, full of mysteries, once the matter is revealed, Aru Bu will undoubtedly become a mortal enemy to him and Wan Yanliang to him.
"Some time ago, Shi Yisheng made a mistake because of the sentence 'the north wind is tight', and the court of Jin didn't know whether it was conscious or unconscious, and even ordered Prime Minister Cai Songnian to investigate it personally. This is probably to try to put them in a bureau where they both have doubts, so that they can solve the entanglement on their own, and they can wait and see what happens.
"What Cai Cheng did at the time, we actually never got accurate information. I heard that he ordered Shi Yisheng to be killed, which is probably a fact, which shows his courage and his great strategy. He knew that the drunkard of the Jin Imperial Court was not interested in wine, but in the mountains and rivers. He tried his best to collect and superimpose Shi Yisheng's incriminating evidence to determine his punishment, but the target was himself. This matter is really difficult to handle, if you deliberately avoid the important and light, you will be caught if you don't get it right. At this time, he retreated as an advance, and he relied on Shi Yisheng to be the old attached horse of the Jin Kingdom, so he expected that he would not die, so he put him to death and convicted him of being killed. Seeing that her husband was about to die, where was the princess willing to follow, so she found the emperor of Jin to make a fuss. Wan Yan Yan has been the most loved by the princess since he was a child, and he was surprised to kill Shi Yisheng, so he had to defend it everywhere, and kept exempting Shi Yisheng from responsibility, so that he finally got fine. If my inference is not bad, this is really a very clever move by Prime Minister Cai.
"Undercover in the enemy's court, traps everywhere, thorns and thorns step by step, not only paid blood and sweat, but also experienced the fires of war, and even took the lives of more than 100 people in his family like Yuwen Cheng. Huaiying, do you still think this matter is too easy? Isn't it worth the best efforts of the good men of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Aunt Shen's reasoning about Shi Yisheng is extremely accurate, and there are many rumors that he made Song return to China and was killed by the Jin people, but the actual twists and turns are exactly like this.
Huaiying was thrilled when she heard this, both admired and interested, and said in her heart: "It turns out that there are so many thrills in the undercover Jin Guo court, and there are even more great things to do, which can really let me show my skills." This was a relief.
Aunt Shen gave the three treasures to the children, and everyone happened to run out of dinner. At the dinner table, I saw Aunt Shen and Zhang Xiao passing on the scriptures and sending treasures, and they all gained a lot. Aunt Shen saw that everyone was full of wine and food, and she was relieved, and turned her face to see Huaiying weighing and playing with Qin Jian and couldn't put it down, Jiu'er was overjoyed when she flipped through "Guns and Sticks", and only abandoned the disease at a glance and ten lines to finish reading the small book "Grip the Strange Sutra", and couldn't help but move in her heart, beckoning to abandon the disease to come over,
She took off a soft whip from her waist and said, "I am too young to wear a long sword, so I will give you a soft whip and pass you a set of whip moves." ”
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Your aunt and grandmother just wanted to give you the "Sun Sutra", but I changed it to "The Sutra of Grips", the book was thin, and she didn't give it to her, she felt that she had treated you badly, so she wanted to give you a self-defense weapon." ”
Seeing that this whip was carried by Aunt Shen, she couldn't bear to ask for it, so she had an idea: "This whip is going to be used for your old man's self-defense, can I ask for another thing?" ”
Aunt Shen laughed and nodded: "I'm a poor old woman who doesn't know what else I can take out, but if there is anything that can be seen, I might as well take it." ”
Abandon the disease and said: "I want your old man's "Dream Creek Pen Talk"! ”
Without waiting for Aunt Shen to answer, Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Silly child, although "Mengxi Writings" is a divine object, it is not a secret book, and there are many copies in the world, and everyone can get it." ”
Written by Shen Kuo, a scientist and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, Mengxi Writing is a comprehensive notebook covering ancient Chinese natural science, technology, and social and historical phenomena.
According to the oldest Yuan Dade inscription that can be seen now, "Mengxi Written Talk" is divided into 30 volumes, including 26 volumes of "Written Talk", 3 volumes of "Supplementary Writing", and 1 volume of "Continued Writing". The whole book has seventeen items, all of which have six hundred and nine articles. The content covers various disciplines such as astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., and its value is extraordinary. The natural science section of the book summarizes the scientific achievements of ancient China, especially the Northern Song Dynasty. In terms of social history, the decay of the ruling group of the Northern Song Dynasty has been exposed, and there are relatively detailed records of the military interests of the northwest and north, the evolution of the ritual system, and the disadvantages of the old enslavement system.
"Dream Creek Writings" is an encyclopedic work, especially famous for its scientific and technological value. The book has also received international attention, and the British historian of science Joseph Needham praised it as "a milestone in the history of Chinese science". "Dream Creek Writings" has a worldwide impact. In the mid-19th century, scholars and sinologists from France, Germany, Britain, the United States, Italy and other countries conducted systematic and in-depth research on the book, and before that, there were translations in English, French, Italian, German and other languages.
Aunt Shen had already handed the soft whip to the abandonment of the disease, "You are still young now, although you are not short, after all, you have not grown up yet, and the sharp weapons in your body at a young age are too flamboyant, and it is inconvenient to wear a long sword." I give you this soft whip made of Elder Tong's cowhide, which is tough and heavy, and it is extremely difficult to make, so I usually wrap it around my waist and use it for self-defense in an emergency.
"In addition, I will pass on your Han Qi's gun and stick skills."
There were many problems with civil officials in the Song Dynasty leading troops, and Han Qi, a great poet, was a negative example. This originator of the Song Dynasty, a generation of famous ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, went to the Western Xia with his poor military command ability, resulting in a rare good water and river fiasco after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty. After the defeat of the Song army, he was surrounded and scolded by the family members of the grieving and angry Song army. Fan Zhongyan's complaint about his sentence "It is difficult to put victory or defeat out of the equation" also made his weak chicken's tactical level "famous" from then on. But inversely proportional to this weak chicken's ability is his powerful personal martial arts.
Han Qi, whose parents died since he was a child, in addition to studying hard, his martial arts actually did not fall behind, especially the spearmanship that must be practiced in the infantry of the Song Army. The training model of "ten thorns left and right, five middle wood people" has been used since then in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and even in the eight-year Anti-Japanese War era, some anti-Japanese guerrillas in the north also relied on the gourd to draw scoops, and the killing effect was very good!
Han Qi, who has such a high level of skill, if he is holding a gun and a stick against the great poet Li Bai, who is good at making swords, with his domineering one inch long and one inch strong, I don't know what kind of duel sparks will be sparked.
"Today, I will give this slaughtering sword to Fan Jiu'er, this is the sword that slaughters Hulu, but we must not kill our loyal ministers and good generals of the Great Song Dynasty by mistake, but for those who are looking at the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and are keen on invading the Great Song Dynasty, those loyal generals who belong to the Jin State, you might as well kill them all.
"Fan Jiu'er will follow Grandpa Li Bao in the future, your Grandpa Li Bao will have countless martial arts, not only will he use the eighteen martial arts commonly mentioned in the "Art of Guns and Sticks", but also can train horses and build ships, but also make repeaters, and make muskets, those strange and very strange big skills are really a lot, Jiu'er, you serve him well, let him teach you everything he knows." Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Fan Jiu'er took the sword from Granny Shen respectfully, and thanked Aunt Shen and Grandpa Li Bao.
