Chapter 210 Hunter
This result is naturally the best. Wang Jinghui realized that after his subtle influence in recent years, the current emperor Zhao Xu was already very different from the Shenzong Zhao Xu in history. Just looking at his incorporation of his own pigeon network in the northwest, we know that this emperor is becoming more and more mature and has a way to be an emperor.
The Northwest Pigeon Network was incorporated, and Wang Jinghui didn't care about it. At worst, he could just rebuild another one. With talents and accumulation in this area, he could almost quickly rebuild a communication network, but in addition to the time it takes to raise pigeons, he could almost quickly rebuild a communication network. But what made him more vigilant was that he could no longer act unscrupulously like before. As the saying goes: a lie will become a reality if he told a thousand times. Wang Jinghui did not care much about the two memorials of the censor before, but today he saw the attitude and methods of Emperor Zhao Xu, and he would restrain himself in the future to avoid summoning the royal suspicion. That was not very wonderful.
"If the emperor thinks like this, my people of the Song Dynasty will be very lucky!" Sima Guang bowed and said.
Emperor Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "If the power of the Song Dynasty is now in the time of Emperor Taizong, this may be a good time to destroy Xia, but now it seems that I should take good care of my Song Dynasty first! I am very unwilling to watch the opportunity slip away!"
"The emperor works hard to reorganize. It will take not three or five years for our great Song Dynasty to recover to the time of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong. The emperor is not worried!" Wang Anshi also said from the side.
"Mr. Some time ago, you said you wanted to make a more powerful earth firearm. How about now?"
"Your Majesty, I have recently obtained the same material, which can greatly speed up the production progress. However, I still need to ask the Lord Majesty for help!"
"Oh? What treasure did you get? Just say who you need. I will try my best to satisfy you!"
"The materials I obtained are not a treasure. But it is not an exaggeration to say that they are treasures. I have brought such materials into the palace and am just about to let the emperor take a look!" Wang Jinghui said with a smile, and then ordered the eunuch next to him to ask him to go outside to get the things.
The eunuch who served quickly took the samples of the iron birch tree that Wang Jinghui had placed outside the hall. Everyone in the Funing Hall saw the black wooden stick in Wang Jinghui's hand for some reason. Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Your Majesty also asks an imperial guard to come with a knife. I will have a demonstration!"
A strong man in armor walked into the hall, and Wang Jinghui said, "Please ask this general to chop this wooden stick with the knife in his hand!"
The imperial guard did not answer. Instead, he looked at the emperor Zhao Xu on the imperial case. After seeing Zhao Xu nodding and indicating that he could draw his sword, he pulled out the steel knife and slashed at the wooden stick in Wang Jinghui's hand. Wang Jinghui's body was transformed when he traveled through time and space, and the power in his hand was not the second person. Three fingers could break a shaft. Although the power on the imperial guard's knife was great, it was nothing in his eyes. A sound of gold and iron came into everyone's ears - the prince consort was holding an iron rod?!
Although the imperial guards flashed in their eyes after cutting the wooden stick, they were surprised that the power of the prince-consort in front of him was so great. He used all his strength to chop the wooden stick with a knife, but the wooden stick in the prince-consort's hand did not move at all. This power was a bit horrifying. Moreover, he felt that the short stick in the prince-consort's hand was definitely not metal. Although the sound was a bit like a collision between steel, he was sure that the short stick was definitely not made of metal. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he still put the knife in the sheath without hesitation.
Emperor Zhao Xu asked in confusion: "Is there an iron stick in my hand?"
Wang Jinghui handed the short stick in his hand to the eunuch next to him and presented it to Emperor Zhao Xu. He smiled and said, "This short stick is made of wood. This wood is called iron birch. It was asked by the minister to collect it in Goryeo. The iron birch tree is black, and the Kanyu Diamond Knife will be cut by it. It sinks when it enters the water. It is actually a foreign object!"
Emperor Zhao Xu held the short stick in his hand and stroked it. The guard with the knife in front of the imperial guard just now cut it hard and left only a white mark on the short stick. It can be seen that the short stick is solid and the weight in his hand is no different from an iron stick. The "when entering the water, it will sink" just now seems to be true.
Emperor Zhao Xu handed the short stick to the eunuch at the charge and asked Wang Anshi and others below to pass it over to each other, and asked curiously: "What are you planning to use this iron birch tree to make?"
Wang Jinghui said: "The hardness of this iron birch tree is comparable to any metal produced in the world. Its solid characteristics can create many things. I have only a few ideas here for the time being, and it will be gradually made in the future. At that time, the emperor will see some novel things. However, it is necessary to help me make these things. This time I want the emperor to edit and proofread books by General Zhaowenguan, Shen Kuo and Shen Cunzhong, and the manager of Jixian Academy of the National History Museum, Su Song and Su Zirong, to temporarily lend them to me for a while, and ask the emperor to agree!"
"I don't know what the things made by the prince consort are mainly used. If it is a skillful and fun thing, it will be spared. Shen Cunzhong and Su Zirong both hold important positions and are not convenient to participate in it!" Sima Guang said on the side. He knew that the prince consort was good at making machines. The hydraulic printing machine in the official printing workshop of the Song Dynasty was the masterpiece of the prince consort, and he made his fortune with this hydraulic printing machine. However, in his opinion, these were all strange and lewd things and could not be considered elegant. The most important thing was that Wang Jinghui's industry combined with the jeweler Xu made many small tricks, which were not only sent to the palace to enhance the relationship between the royal family and the prince consort, but these gadgets were also popular in the powerful family of Biandu. Although Sima Guang also had magnifying glasses, chess, glass tea sets and other items given by Wang Jinghui, he still believed that these things were all things that were devastated for an emperor who worked hard to govern, so he stood up to oppose it at this time.
Wang Jinghui knew what Sima Guang thought, and he still despised the political tradition of the Song Dynasty. This can be clearly seen from the clothing of the technical officials - the green official uniform. This is the lowest color among the color of the official uniform, and it is difficult to advance, and even marriages must be discriminated against - it cannot intermarry with the royal family, and even the minimum personality cannot be guaranteed - Di Qing and Di Wuxiang whipped the only medical officials in the army. These discrimination against technical officials made Wang Jinghui particularly eye-catching, if it were placed in the future. That country
The family does not regard unparalleled scientists like Shen Kuo as national treasures. They hold them in their hands and fear that they will break them, and hold them in their mouths to melt them. Many epoch-making inventions were born in ancient China. Look at the heroes of the two bombs and one satellite. They endured humiliation and laid the international status of China in later generations for decades. However, they were discriminated against in the policy of scientific and technological talents. In the later generations of the ten-year catastrophe, 500,000 intellectuals were thrown into another list. This cannot be said to be a country and a nation, and it was not until later China reformed and opened up.
"It's time to clear the name of intellectuals and technicians! We must let the country and the nation realize their importance and give them the minimum respect!" Wang Jinghui thought silently in his heart. He had thought before that as long as he had two unique skills in his own industry and had a few new ideas in his mind, he would not stingy with the money in his hands to reward them, improve their lives, and give the best treatment of this era. But now he thinks that this is just improving the treatment of technicians on his own territory. It cannot improve the treatment and situation of technicians in this era. He has a prominent position now, so it is time to do something.
"Mr. Sima has said it. I dare to issue a military order here. I will work with Shen Cunzhong, Su Zirong and the people who participated in this work in the future to greatly improve the strength of the Song Dynasty. With these things, as long as you use them properly, even if the Khitan dog thieves in the north are a hundred times stronger, they will be like local chickens and tiles in front of these things!" Wang Jinghui said lightly.
Emperor Zhao Xu knew that Wang Jinghui never gave up his empty words, and he could do it as long as he said, and there is another official in the court who dared to say that without taxes in just a few years, he could add hundreds of millions of yuan to the court's finances. But the prince-consort can do it! The prince-consort just answered Sima Guang's words was a bit heavy, a bit unbelievable, but in his heart he vaguely believed that the prince-consort could do it! However, just now, he seemed to have offended Sima Guang's words. After so many years of getting along, he knew that this was the prelude to the prince-consort being "assassinated".
Sima Guang was about to ask, but Emperor Zhao Xu interrupted him in time: "Mr. Junshi's words are reasonable, but I believe that the prince-consort will not disappoint me and all the adults! Change it, Shen Cunzhong and Su Zirong, I can hand them over to you to arrange it, and this military order is also exempted. You have no tattoos on your head to become a military citizen. How can you start with this military order? Well, my dear friends, I am a little tired, so I will stay here. The Supreme Emperor said that I have some physical discomfort. I want you to go and see. If you have nothing else, let me come here today!"
Emperor Zhao Xu stopped Sima Guang's question in time and also blocked Wang Jinghui's even more unpleasant words. For some things, he would just communicate with the prince-consort in private. "This prince-consort used to say that Wang Jiefu had a bad temper, but his own temper was much more stinking than Wang Jiefu!..." Emperor Zhao Xu thought silently in his heart.
Privy Councilor Wen Yanbo stepped forward and said, "Now Duke of Wei has defeated the enemy in the northwest, and I think that the border ministers will definitely not give up after this great victory. Xixia is also relatively empty at this time, and counterattacking Xixia is inevitable. Please ask the emperor to make a tone to order Duke of Wei to act!" Speaking of which, Wen Yanbo, who is still stubborn, still knows what his group of people are doing to meet the emperor. Wang Jinghui suddenly thought of this problem now, not only looked at Wen Yanbo standing next to him for a more glance.
Emperor Zhao Xu pondered for a while and asked, "Change it, how many days have the news passed by your carrier pigeon? What suggestions do you have for the Shufu? What do you think of Lord Guo?"
Wang Jinghui replied: "This news should have happened at least six days ago!"
Wen Yanbo said: "Now the dangerous situation under Baoan City is solved. Although I don't know how Duke Wei plans, there should be a battle to fight in Shunning Village. I don't know how Duke Wei arranges it!"
Guo Kui said: "It took only two days to get from Shunning Village to Bao'an City. I think Shunning Village should be taken by Duke Wei. I am afraid that our soldiers of the Song Dynasty are about to cross Baigan Mountain and are about to descend to Hongzhou City, Xixia!"
Guo Kui's words shocked everyone in the Funing Hall. Wen Yanbo asked back: "Although the enemy that Dangxiang invaded was defeated, there were still tens of thousands of troops. Relying on the territory of Shunning Village, it would be impossible to fight with Duke Wei for a few days. How could it be possible to capture Shunning Village so quickly and cross Baigan Mountain?"
Wen Yanbo's question was approved by everyone. Only Wang Jinghui remained silent - he was not good at military affairs, but he still knew how great the few book boys he sent out were. He knew that Wuxin had more than 2,000 cavalrymen robbed food behind Dangxiang people, and the most deadly place in Dangxiang people might be food. He and Xu's industries in the northwest have done everything to assist Han Qi, and Han Qi would not worry about money and food. If he moved faster, what Guo Kui said was not impossible, let alone Guo Kui stayed in the northwest for a long time. The situation there should be more familiarity with the situation there than those present, and the words he spoke were the most credible.
Guo Kui smiled and said, "Don't forget that the warehouse of the Jianing Army in Xixia was burned, and the Dangxiang people did not capture Bao'an City to obtain enough food. I'm afraid the Dangxiang army is still hungry now! The small Shunning Village is located in a difficult situation and it is not appropriate to attack. But thinking about the tens of thousands of Dangxiang defeated soldiers rushed into such a small place at once. Needless to say, food, it is difficult to drink water. I think that the Duke of Wei abandoned Shunning Village at that time, and the wells in the village were probably destroyed long ago. There was no water in that place.
, without food, even if the heavenly soldiers descend to earth, they can't hold for a few days. At most, it's just the speed of our army's march at the latest! What's more, the Duke of Wei still has a lot of firearms in his hands. In addition to leaving the city to guard the city for Baoan City, there must be a lot of inventory left in his hands. Use firearms to work, and the small village is only as big as a palm. Not to mention firearms, even if a stone is thrown into a catapult, it will kill many people. It is rare for Dangxiang people to be able to stay there for three days!"
Guo Kui's analysis was concise and reasonable inferences, which made everyone in the hall convinced. However, they did not expect that Han Qi sent Wang Shao to lead his army to bypass Shunning Village from Pingrong Village, blocking the return of the Dangxiang people, and put the entire Dangxiang army that came this time in Shunning Village. He had already surrendered at this time. If it weren't for the trouble of dealing with these tens of thousands of prisoners of war, the army might have captured Hongzhou in Xixia. However, even so, Wang Shao and Lu Feng quickly climbed over Baigan Mountain after the round, and had surrounded Hongzhou City. Now they were preparing to take down Hongzhou City.
This is the benefit of timely and effective information transmission. In this era, without a more rapid and reliable means of transmitting information, the territory ruled by a dynasty will inevitably be limited. Even if a dynasty can sweep the world in a short time, it will collapse sooner or later due to poor information. The lesson of the Yuan and Meng in later generations can be described as a vivid lesson. Wang Jinghui thought of later generations Russia, if it were not for the dynasties of China's contemporary era, it would be difficult to say that the Russians could inherit such a large territory so easily, and the experience of the Russians making a fortune was an anomaly in history.
After listening to Guo Kui's analysis, the main problem now is that the counterattack of the Song Dynasty will be limited to the level that the Song Dynasty will not only obtain the greatest benefits, but also will not cause the Dangxiang people to have the idea of a national counterattack. Obviously, this discussion in the Funing Hall hall is no longer enough. Everyone came to the side hall of Funing Hall - here is the most complete sand table of the Song Dynasty. After Wang Jinghui proposed that the sand table idea was adopted, these sand tables have been continuously improved in recent years, whether in the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom, the Western Xia and even the Tubo tribes!
Emperor Zhao Xu, who stood beside the sand table, never thought that the "world" was so big. Needless to say, the mountains and rivers within the Song Dynasty. In recent years, in order to improve the sand table, especially the sand table of the enemy country, one of the important instructions issued by the imperial Privy Council to the sent "monks" was to search for all maps thoroughly, and even conduct on-site inspections to draw simple pictures to send them back to the Song Dynasty - this was also one of the suggestions of the son-in-law. Zhao Xu looked at the Western Xia marked with green, the Song Dynasty marked with yellow, the Liao Dynasty marked with green, and of course the Tubo tribes marked with purple. This was basically the world in the eyes of the Song people. He was full of complacent hearts and his mind was unprecedentedly high. However, Wang Jinghui, who was watching him on the side, looked calm and shouted in his heart. The world was much wider than this world!
The border sand table on the Song and Xia border is next to the overall sand table of the Song Dynasty. Due to the continuous military conflicts of Song and Xia for decades, and compared with the Liao Dynasty's resolutely, this sand table is obviously in the "No. 2" position. However, although this sand table is so important, Wang Jinghui still glanced at the sand table of the Liao Dynasty. What Emperor Zhao Xu was more depressed was that Xixia, a local regime that could not be regarded as a country in his eyes, had troubled the Song Dynasty for decades!
