Chapter 410: It is easy to solve puzzles, but difficult to explain

The riddle that this person on the river said is "the first mystery of eternity".

The reason why it is said to be the first mystery of the ages is that this riddle was born on Yangxian River before Fang La's destruction. No one has uncovered this riddle for nine hundred years since then, so it is called "the first mystery in the world".

However, this riddle is not difficult. Some people have solved this riddle for nine hundred years. However, those who solved this riddle either dare not speak it or were silenced, and the information on the riddle was destroyed, thus completely covering up the truth.

Because this riddle involves a secret.

The answer to this riddle is: Jin.

The man on the river had the surname Wanyan. He was sent by the Jurchens to contact Fang La, so he took "Jin" as his surname.

Resolving this riddle means revealing a secret, which is the essence of the Jin people's betrayal of the Song and Jin sea alliance.

The Qing Dynasty has always pushed the responsibility of the Song and Jin sea alliance to the head of the Song people, saying that the Qing people were forced to betrayal. But in fact, when the Song and Jin sea alliance signed, the Jin people were already planning the Song people's turmoil and preparing for the southward invasion of Song. When the Haishan alliance was not dry, the Jin people had sent spies to draw maps everywhere, inquire about the Song people's intelligence, contact the Song people's domestic traitors, and prepare to sweep the Central Plains after the destruction of Liao.

Perhaps, it was at this time that Jiuwenlong Shibin contacted the Jin people. When the Jin people arrived, they immediately raised the flag to lead the way.

The Jin people attacked Song and swept across the north bank of the Yangtze River almost like a storm. It was not a simple military adventure, but a long-term plan and prepared action, so they made so smooth progress. However, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the responsibility was completely pushed to the Song people, saying that the Song people were to be taken in traitors, so the Jin people were "forced" to go south. Once this secret was revealed, the shameless face of the Qing Dynasty shouting to catch the thief, and the shameless face of the black and white was exposed.

The Qing people concealed this secret and blocked relevant information because they were extremely shameless. However, the Qing Dynasty also helped conceal it, which is actually easy to understand... In modern propaganda, all bandits are "good silver". They only do good things but not bad things, they are not good for themselves, and they are specialized in benefiting others... As for whether they believe it or not, it is up to you.

According to the Manchu Archives Research, this person used the identity of a horse seller in Liaodong, as a cover, and took Jiangnan information and maps, including the talks with Fang La, as well as the files of some local officials...

Hearing Shi Chuan's order, Yang Weizhong did not hesitate and plucked his horse forward and bent his bow. Seeing that the leader was very hard, countless soldiers from the Jinxi and Western Jinxi followed him, especially those soldiers from the Jinxi and Western Jinxi who had agreed to stay in Haizhou to be the equestrian coach. They were all eager to show off. Regardless of the cold of the stream, they slammed into the water and rushed into the water. The arrow shafts above the stream were intertwined, and the sound of bowstrings continued to sound.

Lin Chong was a little stunned when he heard the order. The kind-hearted Lin Chong probably imagined Shi Chuan as Gao Yanei in Water Margin. He stood there and looked at Shi Chuan with condemnation: How could you shout and shout and kill at any disagreement? It was just a riddle, you can't guess it, you don't have to shout and kill. Scholars don't have such insults and gentleness.

In fact, Lin Chong didn't know that Gao Yanei's image was written according to the urban management standards. Who is the second generation of officials who are idle and go to the street to see stalls when they go to the streets and have this free time, and people drink Lafites, holding the new generation of young models, and plotting to resell approval documents? Who is so low-level, ignores the image and goes to the streets to lift stalls, so how much money can they make?

As the richest man in Haizhou, Shi Chuan has long since left the level of taking to the streets to lift up stalls? The reason why he shouted and killed... Well, he didn't care about the result of the meeting between Wanyan Envoy and Fang La - how many days it could be for fish to jump around. He actually wanted to rob the official information in the hands of Wanyan Envoy.

Since the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, the Liaodong Jurchen horse sellers were specially approved by the Song Dynasty court and entered the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse to sell horses. During the reign of Emperor Huizong, Emperor Huizong of Song specially established the Xiuzhou Maritime Warehouse. The Xiuzhou Huating Maritime Warehouse (Shanghai) was the last Maritime Warehouse established by the Northern Song Dynasty. However, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty by the Manchus, Emperor Hongli burned most of the banned books, so the situation of the Xiuzhou Maritime Warehouse was a fog for historians - a small number of Song people who were retained in the world recorded the scene of the Jurchen horse sellers appearing in Xiuzhou.

On the eve of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of Jurchen horse sellers were placed in the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse, but they flocked to Xiuzhou and frequently moved among the people. According to clues, they flocked to the Song Dynasty from Xiuzhou and collected in detail the situation of local officials in the Song Dynasty, as well as the military preparations in various places in the north, the reserves of food and supplies, strategic points in various places, etc.

If these information are destroyed, the Jurchens will go south and become a military adventure with dark eyes.

The fishing boat continued to drive, and its speed was getting faster and faster. Yang Weizhong walked to the deep water area. The stream water rose to his chest and tried his best to pull the bow and shoot arrows. At this time, Lin Chong was still standing there in a daze. The man on the fishing boat was very skilled. He raised another boat pole and pulled the arrow rods shot to the surrounding area to one side. When the arrow rods could not be shot on the boat, they all fell into the water. The man held the pole and looked at Shi Tong with confusion. He didn't understand why Shi Tong was so fierce, it was just a riddle, and he wanted to kill people. As for? Is it because the Song Dynasty didn't talk about the law? Is it a death sentence to guess riddles?

Xin Xingzong next to him couldn't bear it anymore, and he persuaded him: "Sir Shi, you won't die if you sin. Is it a riddle? "

Shi Chuan didn't answer, but just looked at Lin Chong fiercely. Sun Li, who was beside him, couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly raised his arms and shouted: "Several people come up and prepare muskets."

Ling Fei, who had been unable to bear it, saw someone acting and immediately shouted: "Architecture, prepare the artillery and bomb it for me."

The two officers spoke one after another, and Lin Chong squirmed his lips: "Stop, if you want to fight, we will attack Team A, aim and prepare to shoot."

Suddenly, people by the stream shouted horses, and Sun Li led the 300 horse team to chase along the stream, constantly commanding the headquarters to step forward: "Team A, raise his gun, aim, fire... Team A retreated, Team B stepped forward, aim, fire..."

The gunshots kept thumping, Ling Fei urged the cannon car to go quickly, and the war horse dragged the sports car to bump quickly on the shore. Along the way, as long as you find a place where the cannon position can be fixed, Ling Fei immediately ordered: "Fill the ammunition, hurry up, fire quickly."

In a hurry, the artillery did not even tighten the gunpowder. They just stuffed the medicine bag and put the cannon on it, and were immediately urged to fire the cannon. Such shooting was naturally not accurate. I saw the surface of the stream as rain, and waves splashed on the river surface from time to time. The river boat passed through the waves, and the boat was safe and sound.

A little leaned over, and in the thick smoke, the strong man on the Jiang Zhou shook his body, as if he had covered his chest, and there was no arrow shaft on the other party's chest. It seemed that a musketeer had made the contribution. Seeing this, the boatman on the boat immediately came to support him, but the man suddenly straightened his chest and urged the ship to go quickly - the sound was so loud that the guns and cannons could not be covered.

What this person said was a kind of Jurchen. At this time, everyone realized that this person was not from Song, but few people could understand the Jurchen.

"Where does this stream lead to?" Shi Chuan turned around and asked the guide in the gap between guns and cannons.

The people were in chaos just now, and the guide from the united soldiers of Liangzhe Road was stunned. Seeing that his leader Xin Xingzong had not persuaded him to stop, the guide swallowed a few mouthfuls of foam and replied in fear: "The leads to Taihu Lake."

When he saw him, Chuan was staring at him fiercely, and the guide immediately added: "Taihu leads to Songjiang, and Songjiang goes straight into the sea in Huating."

Xin Xingzong persuaded him again: "Forget it, sir, it's fine if you can't guess this riddle... Oh, the riddle this guy has produced is really a bit difficult, let him go."

How to explain at this time? The court is now wearing a pair of pants with the Jurchens, telling each other's identity, so that Tong Guan, who supports the maritime covenant, knows that it is a "insult to the envoy of a friendly country" and a serious crime.

But if you really want to tell the truth at all costs and identify this person as a Jurchen spy, who would believe it?

There has never been any military adventure in the world.

War is one, one, two, two. It is a contest of strength between the two sides. This strength has both military strength and economic strength. It is a contest between steel and money. In this era, the output of steel accounts for 70% of the world. For the Jurchens who were in poor mountains and bad waters, the Song State was a giant, and the mobilization potential of war was almost infinite. If the Jurchens could not do it, they would sweep the world from the beginning. Once the Song State dragged the war into a stalemate stage, the Jurchens with serious lack of production capacity would immediately fall into an economic collapse.

Therefore, before the war begins, the Jurchens must make detailed preparations - the fuse of the war has been lit and is making a sound. The Wanyan messenger opposite is the person holding the fuse... Of course, he is not the only person holding the fuse, and he is not the only spy sent by the Jurchens to the south.

However, if Shi Chuan tells the truth, I am afraid no one can understand it. Under the guidance of the inertial "Celestial Thought", everyone believes that other places except the Celestial Empire are barbarians, and they are barbarians without culture, writing, historical records, and inconspiracy. They are determined not to believe that the other party's preparation for war is far more than our Celestial Empire.

Even though Shi Chuan said that he had traveled through time, based on research results nine hundred years later, he knew the other party's sinister intentions... no one believed in traveling through time.

The air around was getting colder and colder. It was clearly the season when spring was blooming, but the people around him felt the arrival of winter. At this time, the sound of guns and cannons suddenly changed as if they were the sound of another world, far and empty. A little leaned, everyone's eyes were blurred. When they noticed Shi Chuan suddenly disappeared from the horse. The next moment, his figure appeared around the cannon truck. Then the next moment, Shi Chuan sat on his shoulders and carried the nine-pound cannon. In a flash, Shi Chuan appeared somewhere on the shore, and the torch in his hand poked the cannon door.

With a rumbling sound, the marching cannon spewed out a ball of flame, and the stern of the boat on the stream suddenly rose up. After a moment, the shells fell to the ground and the sound of the wooden boat shattering came from afar...

Later, the stern of the fishing boat slapped heavily on the stream, and a giant wave surged, Shi Zhi slowly walked back to his war horse. Yang Weizhong pushed the horse back and asked: "Sir, do you want to go to the stream to find the body?"

It’s better to be a Dangxiang person. After giving him enough benefits, he never asks why he fights, and fights as soon as he is asked, without hesitation.

Shi Chuan patted Yang Weizhong's shoulder heavily and expressed his gratitude. On the other side, Lin Chong had no expression on his face, while Xin Xingzong was embarrassed: "As for it? Sir, I heard that you have a lot of money for a shell. You can't guess a riddle, so you're so anxious... Cough cough, what do we say? How should we judge the crime against the man on the river, and how can we report this war from above?"

Xin Xingzong looked angry and funny. After a while, when he saw that the people around him did not respond, he suddenly came to his senses--oh, what a terrible Shichuan

I had heard that the Haizhou master Bo was the most powerful general in Haizhou when he was the "general". There was a legend that he knocked down Suo Chao with one move. When interrogating the captives of Fang La Water Village, he also said that Fang La's general Shi Bao, and he immediately decided to escape when he heard that Shi Chuan's name. Usually, this Shizhu is quite gentle and pays attention to life style. He pursues the ultimate comfort in food and clothing. Everyone does regard him as a scholar, thinking that those legends are all bragging about Haizhou soldiers... But just now, the other party's series of actions were dazzling. The cannon cart pulled by two horses, and this person can actually drag it away alone... How did he do it?

At this time, everyone was shocked by Shi Zhi's actions just now. Even Lin Chong, Sun Li and others had never seen Shi Chuan fight with Suo Chao with their own eyes. Suo Chao was the man who was recruited by Song Jiang. He killed the other party with one punch because of a quarrel with someone, and was forced to escape. Suo Chao was not a professional and did not use any set of punches. In the past, he was rampant in Liangshan, which was relied on Song Jiang's power and brute force. For officers like Lin Chong and Sun Li, they did not necessarily like reckless men like Suo Chao, so even if they knew Shi Chuan knocked down Suo Chao, they didn't think it was too great - because they thought that if they really wanted to fight for life and death, they might not be able to kill Suo Chao.

But just now, Shi Chuan became angry and his movements were as fast as lightning... Even those dazzling movements seemed to be as cold as ghosts. Lin Chong brought himself into the scene a little, and his heart was trembling - Suo Chao was dead not unfair. Even if he met him, he might have been knocked down with a punch.

"How to reply? There is no account" Shi Chuan replied with a dark face. Since he couldn't explain clearly, he would simply not explain: "Nothing happened just now, everyone will continue to rush... Sun Li, and the provocation."

Sun Li, who had just arrived back, also looked gloomy - the people on the Jiangzhou said their riddles when the ship started. After the Jiangzhou started, the ship speed became faster and faster, and Yangxian River was a very wide river even in the 21st century. Now the width of Yangxian River is several miles. Jiangzhou is desperately sailing towards the middle of the river. Sun Li, with a team of 300 people, was equipped with sharp weapons such as long and short muskets, but Jiangzhou could not do anything to him, and sometimes he used to move...

Thinking of the ghostly speed when Shideng made his move, Sun Li not only shivered - it's scary, is this human speed?

This guy who is usually lazy and only sees money in his eyes has such skills?

Hearing Shizhang's order, Sun Li subconsciously thrust his chest and replied: "Get orders."

Then, Sun Li heard the movement around him and glanced at him. It turned out that Ling Fei was dragging a sports car and was back with a gray face. He seemed to be used to the master's strange shape, but he just replied depressedly: "Master, the artillery team's drill is still not enough. In the hasty just now, the loading speed and accuracy were not satisfactory...Master, give me some more time, and I will definitely practice them well."

"Forget it," Shi Chuan replied: "Since the war started, the artillery team has not taken action. Of course, they are in panic when encountering trouble. Next time we meet Fang La, let the artillery go first..."

Ling Fei paused and immediately asked excitedly: "Master, the river water is still shallow. Although the water is a little cold, it is not impossible to get down. I will ask a few people to touch it and salvage the things on the boat?"

Shi Chuan thought about it and replied: "Okay, the salvaged things...the property is distributed by you yourself. The case documents must be handed over to me directly. No one is allowed to read the documents on the ship privately."

After saying that, Shi Chuan looked at Sun Li, and Sun Li was shocked and immediately ordered: "Team A and Team B, go forward and provoke."

Xin Xingzong came over and asked curiously: "Maybe Lord Shi guessed that riddle, so he was so sure that there was a case document on the ship.... Ah, what the man said just now was not our words. I have been fighting in the west for so long, familiar with Xixia, Khitan, and Tubo, but the other party said neither Xixia nor Khitan..."

Xin Xingzong thought about it and immediately added: "There are so many tribes in Shaanxi, but there is no language similar to what he said. What language is this?"

Shi Chuan didn't want to answer this question, so he turned his eyes to Sun Li. Sun Li was stimulated and immediately sent a visitor to Ma Chihou like flowing water. Xin Xingzong was speechless and had to turn around and ask his secretary: "Are the troops already ready?"

Secretary Zhang bowed and replied: "I have prepared to stop according to the order."

At this time, Shi Chuan ordered: "Left Army, set off."

This is about the Haizhou Tuanjian Left Fang, which belongs to the commander of Lin Chong.

Lin Chong waved his hand quickly, and then a team of musket soldiers drove out from Meizhu Town. They walked silently along the main road. After a while, they passed by Shi Chuan and others at the entrance of the town. After a while, the Right-Chang Army, which was affiliated with the Haizhou regiment, drove out. They followed the left and right foreign soldiers from the Jinxi Province. These foreign cavalry did not have the habit of marching silently. They walked condescendingly and shouted their war horses all the way. When they passed by Shi Chuan and others, they shouted hello to Yang Weizhong with a close expression.

Yang Weizhong found them a good rich man. Over the past few days, their food had been with the Haizhou soldiers. Each meal not only contained meat, but also provided liquor from time to time. Of course, their supply was less than that of the Haizhou soldiers, but this was already in the sky and earth compared to the days when they were not full before. Therefore, after this incident, Yang Weizhong's reputation rose to the peak among the tribal soldiers.

While greeting the soldiers, Yang Weizhong stared at the salvage operation on the stream. At this time, the artillery team had already set off. The auxiliary soldiers of Shi Chuan participated in the salvage. The fishermen poured a few sips of wine, and one of them twitched down, groping in the turbid stream, and snatching up a piece of luggage and boxes from time to time. Xin Xingzong shook his head when he saw it - isn't this the luggage of a passerby? What's the difference from the Liangshan bandits in the past? Well, what was the puzzle of the riddle just now? Shi Chuan responded so much?

Sun Li was also asking the same question. After he caught up with Lin Chong's team, he urged his horse to approach Lin Chong and asked, "Brother Lin, have you solved the puzzle just now? Why did the chief clerk immediately order the killing when he heard the other party telling the puzzle? Based on our understanding of Lord Shi, that guy is a very calm person, why is he so impulsive? What did the puzzle say? He changed his face and color - he also needed the documents and files on the ship. Could it be that he is Fang La's man?"

"It's not Fang La's person," Lin Chong pondered, "I have been thinking about the riddle just now..."
