The struggle of the reborn prince

The sudden death of Zong Han made the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty feel a little unprepared. Now the new emperor of the Kingdom of Jin has been in conflict for less than a year. The most ferocious Zong Han died. Zong Gan and Zong Xi, who were in power, were about to fight again, and it could be said that this was a good opportunity for another Northern Expedition.

However, the Song Dynasty had just settled the Dali Kingdom, and now the veterans have retired, the recruits are still practicing 'one two one', and the materials are not ready for the big war.And it has already entered winter, even if you want to fight and gather troops, it will take a month later. At that time, the Northeast has entered the severe winter, and it is no longer suitable for launching large-scale operations.The only way to do it is to spend time. After the discussion between the monarch and his ministers, he can only temporarily abandon the Northern Expedition, and sit and see what new tricks the little emperor of the Kingdom of Jin can play.

The emperor's "complaint" is still effective, and it has touched the heads of the prime ministers, and has improved the way of working. Instead of asking for instructions from time to time for the agreed matters, the arrangement and progress have been briefed every other month. In the formal form, it was played for the emperor to understand the progress, and at the same time, it also washed away their stigma of arbitrariness, emptying the emperor, and wanting to be powerful officials.In this way, everyone felt relaxed, and the memorial to Zhao Tun's case was much thinner, but in such a big country, if there was no accident, it would be impossible to completely get rid of the pain of the paperwork.

However, this procedural reform still allowed Zhao Tun to have more time to concentrate on his own affairs.After the Northern Expedition, Zhao Tuo ordered all the armies participating in the battle, from the commander in chief Zhao Yong down to the cooking fire army, to sum up their experience and write down their experiences.Then it was handed over to the Privy Council. Zhao Tong specially assigned Zhao Li and Zhao Yi to organize and classify it into a book. Now the manuscript has been sent to Zhao Tong for review before the case.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Under the design of Zhao Tun himself, he adopted a progressive production method to manufacture the first water conservancy all-metal 'precision' machine tool in the Song Dynasty. Compared with ordinary machine tools, it is also an epoch-making invention, and the machining accuracy and speed have increased geometrically.With this 'master machine.A batch of the same machines will be cloned soon. First of all, it will bring changes to the production method of guns and improve the performance of weapons.And they will be used on the iron cannons that have been successfully trial-cast immediately.

The ocean-going fleet has completed its trial voyage at this moment, and personnel training and material preparations have also been completed in due course.After the arrival of the trade wind in the next year, he set sail, and Zhao Tun also showed the "Map of the Universe" drawn from his memory, and Zheng Qiao finally obtained the "Natural History" that the emperor had "preserved" for a long time.Just as Zhao Tong was thinking about whether to give lectures on functions to the Ph.D.s of the Academy of Sciences, the end of the year had come quietly, and the busiest time for him as an emperor also followed...

Over the years, Zhao Tong has conquered the east and west to settle the neighboring countries, opened up the trade routes in the southeast and northwest, and not only restored the ancient Silk Road in the heyday of Tang Dynasty.Moreover, the ancient tea-horse road was dredged again.The policy of opening up the sea has made ocean trade a second prosperous "Silk Road". The Song Dynasty has extended its tentacles to farther continents, and it has also made understanding and communication among countries more convenient and smooth.

Zhao Tong's first feeling is that there are more and earlier visiting missions this year than in previous years.Of course, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, including traditional friendly countries.There are also those who see the growing power of the Song Dynasty and want to embrace the thick legs, and some just want to simply establish economic relations. Among them, there are also some ambitious people who hope to use the power of the Song Dynasty to rebel against the superiors, and most of them follow the Song Dynasty Merchant Ship I came here to see what the legendary oriental kingdom full of gold looks like.

No matter what the idea was, these missions all gathered in the capital before the year.This time the officials of the Ministry of Rites were too busy, and the Sifang Pavilion specially used to receive foreign guests was overcrowded, so that the guards from all over the country who came to Beijing to congratulate could only live in other places.For a while, the city of Bianjing was full of barbarians speaking "bird language" and wearing exotic clothes. They wandered around the capital as if their grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.Of course, it is unavoidable to get lost, drink and make trouble, and fights caused by language barriers.Kaifeng Mansion had to take full posts to maintain order, and the Guards and Imperial City Division were also put on alert to prevent any accidents. Anyway, the people of the Song Dynasty enjoyed the pride of all nations coming to court, but at the same time they had to pay a price for inconvenience. [

Of course, what these envoys most want to see when they arrive is the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and they can have lunch with him. Of course, Zhao Tuo also wants to learn more about this world. He started meeting work years ago. In fact, the main thing is to accept letters of credence and worship. Receive tribute, give something, exchange friendship, have a meal together, talk about each other's national conditions, ask each other's thoughts, and talk about cooperation.

The emperor's performance once again impressed the officials of Honglu Temple. Not only did he say "Smecta", "Sayunara", "Bye Bye", "Samaritan" and other birdsong from his mouth from time to time, he summoned Some countries don’t even need an interpreter when they come, they can talk directly, and they are familiar with the etiquette of each country, and they can tell everything about their history, geography, and humanities. There are some things that professionals like them have never heard of.

Those envoys were even stupefied by Zhao Tun, wondering how much the Emperor Song knew about their country.Of course, they were amazed, and the relationship between them was also shortened. After all, it is an honor for the emperor of a big country to understand their small and remote country so well. a good foundation.In fact, this is due to the instructors of Zhao Tun, in order to enable him to carry out missions all over the world, indoctrination like a devil is indispensable...

Since there are old and new friends, the treatment they receive must be different, but there is a newcomer who was favored by the Emperor of Song Dynasty, summoned him alone, and gave him a very high courtesy - personally sent him out of the palace, So several people became interested in this dear friend, and quickly found out the details of him. It turned out that this person was just the leader of the Mengwu tribe of the Shiwei tribe in Mobei, named Hebule.

This guy is unknown in the Central Plains, but he is number one in the Mobei Grassland. Their ancestors moved westward from the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and Heilongjiang to the Onon River and the Kelulun River to settle, and became the subjects of the powerful Khitan nationality at that time.During this period, another large nomadic tribe, the Chaza tribe, was conquered.Taking advantage of the decline and fall of the Liao Kingdom, it developed at a faster and higher speed.

After the demise of the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchens replaced the Liao Kingdom's dominant position in the north, and naturally the Mongolian tribes became the subjects of the new master, the Jin Kingdom.But when they saw that the increasingly powerful Mughal tribe was vigilant, Wu Qimai wanted to deal with this potential and extremely dangerous opponent first, so he invited Hebuler to Shangjing for a potluck and a gathering.Anyone with a sane mind knows that the Jurchens are a good feast, and they may not come back if they go, but Hebuler not only went, but also stroked the dragon beard bought by Wu Qi!

After receiving the invitation from Wu begging to buy, Hebuler led more than a dozen entourages to Huining Mansion in Shangjing.Now that he has seen through Wu Qimai's thoughts, he must of course be on guard, but the measures he adopted are a little different, that is, pretending to be a fool, putting on the posture of a country bumpkin going to the city, looking for something new and delicious , I can't see any scheming, and even the Jurchens who have just learned to eat with chopsticks laughed at Heble for being too earthy, and it was almost three times the amount of dirt.

Hebuler's performance successfully fooled Wu Qimai and the officials of the Kingdom of Jin, thinking that he was a "countryman" who had fooled a group of "city people" around, he was a little proud and accidentally After drinking too much at the banquet, he showed his original shape like Zhu Bajie, and actually ran to Wu Qimai's root and "touched" Wu Qimai's beard with his hand.How could the emperor's dragon beard be touched casually? The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became extremely tense, and everyone's head would fall to the ground.

The situation in front of me is very similar to the scene at the "Fish Head Banquet" by the riverside more than 20 years ago, except that Yelu Yanxi was replaced by Wu Qimai, and Aguda became Hebuler.And the development of the matter is surprisingly similar. Wu Qimai may feel that he is already the king of a country. Killing a foolish chief for such a trivial matter is too cheap, which will damage his reputation and fail to reflect his broad mind. How can Jin Guo win the trust of the world?So Wu Qimai decided not to punish Hebuler. Instead, he rewarded Hebuler with a lot of cloth, saying that he didn't take it seriously.

However, after the "beard pulling incident", Hebuler knew that his life would be in danger at any time, so he no longer dared to continue drinking and having fun in the Kingdom of Jin, so he made an excuse at random, bid farewell to Wu Qimai in a hurry, and set foot on the road. The journey back to the grassland.But Wu Qimai was confused, and the civil and military ministers around him were not. In order not to let the story of letting the tiger go back to the mountain repeat itself, everyone tried their best to speak bad things about Hebule in front of Wu Qimai. It is necessary to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots, and get rid of Hebuler.

So Wu Qimai repeats the old trick and invites Hebuler to go back to have a look many times, but he knows that he will never come back again, and he also sees clearly the face of the Jurchen who wants to kill himself and then be quick.Hebuler thought about sending envoys this time, and the next time he would definitely send the army to wipe out the Mughal tribe.After he figured it out, he decided to raise troops against Jin, but he frightened the clansmen. They knew that they were looking for death if they fought against the prosperous Dajin Kingdom with their own strength?The unanimous opinion of everyone is that Hebuler's mind was burnt out and his mouth was full of nonsense.

But everyone underestimated Hebuler's courage and determination. He was determined to fight to the end with the Kingdom of Jin that Wu begged to buy. Get rid of all the rest, break the boat, leave no way out, and drag everyone into the water. At this moment, everyone has offended the Jurchens anyway, and they can only follow him on the road of no return against gold...
