Song Beiyun

"Now that you have forced Da Song to become a Southern barbarian, is it good for you?" Song Beiyun sat there cross-legged, staring down at the contents of a clay pot: "Fugui, your motherfucker stewed Liao ginseng in brown sugar? If you drink this jar, let alone a human, even a cow can't stand it."

The old eunuch next to him sneered, looked up at Fo Baonu and then at Song Beiyun, but said nothing.

Only then did Fo Baonu realize that the old eunuch was really one of his own...

"I really don't know what you think. Do you think that Song can't defeat Liao? Or do you think you are absolutely sure of unifying China?" Song Beiyun blew off the foam on the jar and took a sip of ginseng soup: "When the time comes, really take a good The situation was shattered with a single slap, and once the all-out war broke out, all the planned future would be ruined."

"Your mind is full of your plans. Have you considered me? Your Song Kingdom is getting stronger day by day, and I don't want to change. Sooner or later, the Liao Kingdom will disappear. What face do you want me to use to face the ancestors? Zong? As long as you Song people have ancestors, don't we Khitan people have ancestors?"

Song Beiyun Zhou lowered his eyelids, even if Fo Baonu poured out his anger there, he would not take issue with it, because there are some things that cannot be justified, and people in every country always put themselves at the center of the universe, just like Song Beiyun before It’s like reading a British gourmet guide written by an Englishman in the world over there. When you are in the center of the universe, it is impossible to realize the problems in yourself.

From Song Beiyun's point of view, the best result is the stable and steady development of both sides. When the development reaches a certain level, the productivity reaches a certain level, the education level reaches a certain level, and then they will naturally integrate and unify.

But this is his judgment from the center of the universe and from the perspective of God, and it is actually impossible for Liao and Song to have such far-reaching plans for this matter, because they both have their own historical missions.

How to explain this matter?Song Beiyun thought about it for a while, and it was probably equivalent to his goal in life back then to live in troubled times and witness periods of history, but when he got to this position, he had to be forced to point out Click to change history.

Why?Because he saw the people under his hands trying to save the nation without sleep, he saw someone singing and dancing to plant a hundred catties of grain in the field, and he saw someone working without sleep just to make the water pump pump out 5.00% more water , such people and such things are springing up like mushrooms after rain in this land.

And precisely because of this, it was impossible for Song Beiyun to return to the route he imagined at the time, eating and waiting to die, because there were many people waiting for him and even more people put their expectations on him.

When a person shoulders social responsibilities, his life is no longer purely his own, which is why many naughty bastards in their youth become the one who bears the responsibility, it seems to be a different person.This is because life no longer completely belongs to oneself.

This is painful, Song Beiyun is deeply aware of his pain and pressure.The same is true for Fobaonu. She also bears the responsibility of the nation and the country, so her choice itself is not directional.

It's just that there may be a problem with the method, and she is too impatient, but she is wrong?There is nothing wrong with that.She is a qualified monarch, this cannot be denied.

"Okay, let Han Qi handle this matter, and you can claim whatever compensation you want." Song Beiyun waved his hand and said, "The precondition of the orthodox struggle is that you can win the battle for the founding of the country regardless of the cost. Zhao Xing and I That is also what I said. National unification is important, but development is more important. My opinion is to put aside disputes at this stage and develop together, don’t break the hard-won situation, and leave the rest to future generations.”

Fo Baonu was naturally not happy, but there was nothing he could do about it, because as Song Beiyun said, if a full-scale war were really provoked, the Liao Kingdom would not have the confidence to win, and even the Song Kingdom might not be able to win. The status quo is most likely to be maintained.

"I think with Han Qi's ability, he must have reminded you, right?" Song Beiyun frowned suddenly and asked, "He must have reminded you on the sidelines."

Fo Baonu didn't say anything, because Song Beiyun was right, and Han Qi also said something similar, that is, after the Liao Kingdom seized the name, Song Kingdom had nowhere to go, so the only way to prove itself was by war, then At that time, the Liao Kingdom might not be able to bear it.

But Fo Baonu still wanted to give it a try. She did try, but the key person in the final critical stage was gone.

The Liao Kingdom won this partial conflict, but it seems that it did not win.

"Where did you take that person?" Fo Baonu raised his head and asked, "How did you take him out?"

"You mean Prince Wang? Oh, that's not right. He is now the father of Yan Shenggong, and his son is the direct descendant of the orthodox Confucius family." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "As for how I can take him out, if I say yes, then I can. Not to mention Luoyang City, as long as you don't kill him, I will be able to take him out."

"I don't care about that much, he is a fake, Shandong is the orthodox direct line."

"If you say yes, it's fine if you Liao Kingdom recognizes this branch, and Song Kingdom recognizes his other branch. I will let him go back to Jinling to integrate the Wang family. Let's fight for another 100 years." Song Beiyun waved his fingers and said, "As for those miscellaneous fish, I definitely can't let them live. You'd better do something. Except for the Kong family Zhengshuo you think, all other branches will be eradicated."

Fo Baonu lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice, "Then what is your intention of sending troops to invade Liao Kingdom?"

"Gamble, if you can rescue Yan Shenggong, then your Liao Kingdom will become a cruel and heartless Hulu foreigner."

"At this time, you are not afraid that the Hulu and foreigners will fight to the death."

"Of course I'm afraid." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "But the problem lies here. I can control Song State and prevent it from seizing power, but you are rushing to seize power, a way to control a family. There are thousands of species, not to mention a thousand-year-old tarsus maggot, Yan Shenggong, who fell into my hands, I can do whatever I want, and it is just an initiative. But if it falls into your hands, you have to announce him next month Mother's Daliao has become China's new power, and if you come out of it, the Song and Liao battles will have to be fought."

Anyway, at this time, coaxing with sweet words is not enough, so you have to reason with Fo Baonu, and if she doesn't reason, she threatens with force.

It is true that although the Song State is strong, the Liao State is indeed not weak. The weapons and equipment are indeed advanced by the Song State, but the fighting will of the Liao State is indeed outstanding. The generals on both sides are basically from the same military academy.

The war of the same root is disgusting. This is the place where you know yourself and the enemy. The difference in national strength between the two sides is less than 30.00%, and the difference in combat literacy is less than 20.00%. The tactics are taught by the same teacher, and the will to fight is almost the same.

This level of war is very terrifying, how can I describe it... probably the volunteer army and the US military on the Korean battlefield, everyone belongs to the first echelon, and they are respectable opponents to each other. In the end, no one actually took too much cheap.

And if this kind of thing happened between Song and Liao, one can imagine what it would be like. The final fate of the Eastern Empire may be far more tragic than what was going to happen in the original time and space, because there is still a European empire so far. The threat is there, and the civilizations of the East and the West have officially entered the age of the dark forest.

A civil war broke out on the way of an arms race based on the Black Forest Law, and the white pig would smile crookedly.

"I dare not say more, but I guarantee that your Liao Kingdom will not be wiped out in the end."

"If that doesn't kill you, what unification are you talking about?"

Fo Baonu got into a dead end again, and told him that this is not a problem that can be solved by one generation or two. When the overall level of development is improved later, the problem of unification will not be a problem.What's more, if it takes the lead in achieving economic, technological and cultural leadership, there will be no interference from external forces.

The children and grandchildren can unify as much as they want. China is not like the big cesspit in Europe. It itself has a foundation for great unification. The key now is to develop and develop, to develop everything that can be developed.

In order to be able to describe this unified approach to this stubborn Fo Baonu, Song Beiyun tried various methods, but none of them could appease Fo Baonu's resentment.

So the only way in the end is to take advantage of the power of the ginseng soup and have a good time.

Early the next morning, before Han Qi set off, Song Beiyun talked with him for more than three hours.

In the end it is Mr. Han, something that Fo Baonu can't quite understand, he is really clear.He also deeply knows what the consequences will be if this matter is done by Buddha Baonu, but as a Liao minister, he should unconditionally obey the king's arrangement, so after he just explained what he should say, what should he do? Do your best as much as you can.

Song Beiyun expressed his understanding of this. After all, there is a difference between the ruler and the minister. If Han Qi really did something against his orders, Fo Baonu would probably call him back to Luoyang with twelve gold medals and kill him with one blow.

Don't doubt Fo Baonu's cruelty, she is capable of such a thing.

Political struggle is extremely dark and cruel, and it cannot be measured by ordinary people's morality and values. If the simple folk value system is used in politics, it will eventually harm others and oneself.

When Song Beiyun asked Han Qi about the future unification of the Song and Liao Dynasties, Han Qi did not affirm or deny, but only raised five questions.

First: How to arrange the issue of the allocation of rights of both parties.

Second: how to deal with the cultural differences between the two sides.

Third: How to divide the interests of the upper nobles.

Fourth: How to alleviate the conflict between status and national status.

Fifth: How to resolve the contradiction between the concept of governing the country and the concept of clan.

If these five problems cannot be resolved, unification is in the foreseeable future.Let a country that is completely independent and claims to have an orthodox identity be attached to another country, then who is the king and who is the minister?

It does not destroy itself like Jin. Both Song and Liao are thriving and making great efforts to govern. It is true that Liao is not developing as fast or as well as Song, but it is catching up very hard. There is no obvious difference between the level of intelligence and the level of governance, almost between the two.

Then a contradiction arises at this time. Should the country be named Song or Liao?Or just call yourself China?

The fourth point is precisely the best problem to solve. The big deal is to change the name of the country together, and it is said that China's problem is not big.

But what about other problems?How to deal with it?If the status quo is maintained, there will still be an absurd act of two courts in one country.If the status quo is not maintained, whose tail will be cut off?

Song Beiyun couldn't answer these questions, and Han Qi could only spread his hands, because at this stage, no one could think of the best way to solve the problem peacefully.

"A war is still needed in the end." Han Qi said solemnly: "It can be both a civil war and a foreign war, and the whole situation needs to be completely reshuffled."

Song Beiyun nodded lightly: "It's Mr. Han, thoroughly."

"Master Song is more thorough than this one." Han Qi cupped his hands towards Song Beiyun and said, "Master Song bids farewell."

Song Beiyun bid farewell to Han Qi, and sat there alone for a long time. The advantage of talking with smart people is that you can absorb other people's ideas for your own use to a certain extent, and those who have mastered them can accomplish things.

The questions raised by Han Qi are very realistic and straightforward. These are the problems facing Unification. Unless one of the two parties plays itself to death like Jin Guo, otherwise it is impossible to resolve it peacefully. War shuffle.

But Han Qi gave a new idea, a new idea that Song Beiyun hadn't thought of before. His mind was full of not being able to fight a civil war, but the problem of not being able to fight a war could not be solved.And the new thinking that Han Qi brought to him was "Since it is not good to fight a civil war, why not fight a foreign war?".

Wanting to understand this, Song Beiyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around and called someone in: "Write a letter to Zhao Xing, and say that Emperor Liao invited him and Emperor Wanyan to come to Taishan to worship the Chinese ancestors. Then I will inform Fo Baonu With one sound, say that Emperor Zhao and Emperor Wanyan hope to come to Mount Tai to worship their ancestors. Let's go."

"My lord, the Kingdom of Jin...isn't it destroyed?" The person below asked curiously, then immediately lowered his head and apologized: "This subordinate is talking too much..."

"The Kingdom of Jin is called Mieguo?" Song Beiyun chuckled, "The Kingdom of Jin is called Natong!"

Chapter 878: Sunny May 5, Ten Years

The Song Dynasty First Fleet is now moored in the Gulf of Mexico. They arrived here after a year and three months of voyage. There was an accident on the way because part of the hurricane was washed away, but fortunately most of the fleet has returned to normal The part of the team that was not found was also proved to have returned to the station in the north. Unfortunately, only one ship sank due to wind and waves, and more than 270 warriors fell into the sea forever.

They had some conflicts with the locals at the beginning of their arrival, but the conflicts did not escalate, because after all, Mr. Han is almost proficient in their local dialect now, which shows that the communication between the two parties was relatively smooth after they came.

And now they are about to start their residency here for one to one and a half years. The first batch of seeds have been shipped back to Song Dynasty in the spring. If there is no accident, the motherland has already started breeding.

The second batch of seeds is being screened, because there are too many unseen foods in the local area, and they need a long period of time to screen for viruses.

Mr. Han is actually very puzzled by the natives in this place. Judging from their architecture, culture and poetry, this civilization has quite developed astronomy, calendar, arithmetic and design capabilities, but they don't use wheels.

A farming nation with no wheels and an ancient slave system and sacrificial system overturned Mr. Han's cognition along the way. He conducted a very careful study of this civilization when scientific researchers conducted a comprehensive investigation.

For such a group of similar-looking but obviously more civilized people, the local natives are also quite curious. Many priests among them are actually shouldering the responsibility of scholars, because Mr. Han can speak Their language, so these priests often invite Mr. Han to discuss.

The communication between the two sides can be said to be much easier than the highest difficulty expected. Da Song taught all kinds of technologies that they did not have, and they also handed over hundreds of thousands of years of achievements to Da Song, exchanging civilization achievements. .

The accompanying technicians and scientific researchers were actually surprised by the achievements of their civilization, because they found that these wheelless natives could calculate the solar calendar to such a precise point, and not only the astronomical calendar, but also the seasons, Soil, sea culture, species, etc., after Mr. Han's translation, these things are no different from treasures in their eyes.

The natives, on the other hand, marveled at the advancement brought by these "brothers". Smelting, forging, mechanical construction, etc. all directly filled their gaps.

The two sides are both derivatives of farming culture, so there is no pressure when communicating, because as long as we talk about food, we have a common topic.

The fleet handed over the seeds of major carbon water crops such as wheat, rice, and bananas to the local natives, and the natives continued to exchange them with unique local seeds.

Of course, in addition to this, there are also a lot of gold transactions. For example, the natives found that these "brothers" who came from afar like gold very much, and they think this thing is not as easy to use as those steel farm tools, so the trade between the two sides is still very good. frequently.

Until one day another group of natives came from the south. They attacked the local native city-state and captured two soldiers who were transporting goods from the Song Dynasty. When the big black bull caught up with them, they found that the heads of the two soldiers had been killed. Cut off as a sacrificial offering.

From this day onwards, the fleet entered a state of war. They assisted in the sudden sweep of the natives in the entire south within a few months.The astonishing fighting power they displayed during the battle surprised and even frightened the original natives. Those southern enemies were nothing compared to these distant "brothers". Even facing the strongest enemy in the south, they only used a few When there are 400 people, the opponent's "king city" is broken.

After a series of battles, the fleet was finally recognized as their own. Now, Mr. Han can even enter and leave the royal palace of the natives at will. Even the leader of the local natives tried to marry his daughter to Mr. Han, but was rejected by Han. Mr. declined.

On the other hand, Da Hei Niu is not picky at all, because his bravery and strength, and his feat of easily singled out the strongest native warrior in the ceremony, made the native princess who was supposed to marry Mr. Han directly match him After a while, Mr. Han felt that Da Hei Niu was quite suitable, so he gave it to the leader as his son-in-law.

Because of this layer of relationship, the cooperation between the two parties has become closer, and Da Hei Niu has also tasted the sweetness of polygamy, and indulges in tenderness all day long.

"Do you want to go back to the commander-in-chief? Don't talk about this native lady, it's quite exciting."

This day, Big Hei Niu returned from his home in "Wangcheng" to report on his duties at the fleet camp. During dinner at night, he talked about the intermarriage with Mr. Han: "And I think they are quite similar to us, and they also like to be clean."

To be honest, Mr. Han never imagined that these natives love cleanliness. Before he was invited to their public bathroom, Mr. Han once thought that they washed their bodies with mud and sand, until he saw that they had very delicate baths. Only then did Mr. Chi Shihan know that these people not only like to take a bath, but even use shell powder and coarse salt for oral cleaning.

As for appearance, Mr. Han thinks that these natives look a bit like the Jurchens in the north, but their skin is darker, and they have their own set of complete rules of life.

They have almost no large livestock and no weapons made of metal. They don't even like the knives that other natives like, but only have special affection for those metal farmers.

This is very contradictory, because a civilization that will sacrifice human beings is against weapons...

As for why Da Hei Niu was so enthusiastic about bringing back a few girls for Song Beiyun, it was because his wives here were definitely beauties by at least Mr. Han's standards, and their physiques were better than those fair and clean ladies. Much stronger.

"I don't know whether we should open intermarriage now." Mr. Han said after hesitating for a moment: "I don't know what the consequences will be if we open intermarriage."

"Open it! Why don't you open it." The big black cow patted his chest and promised: "The girls here are very good. They can work and support themselves. Why are they not much better than Jinling's cute little girls? And once they get married, they It’s a man’s thing.”

"You." Mr. Han smiled helplessly: "Wait until this return trip, I will report to Mr. Song. If he agrees, I will discuss this matter."

"Then when will you return?"

"Maybe after August. According to the locals, there will be strong winds on the sea every July and August."

"Well, I'm really homesick."

"You stay here."

The big black cow was shocked: "Mr. Han, isn't it..."

"You must stay here. It's hard for us to have some communication with them. There must be a bridge. Why don't you go back and report to Master Song?"

"Forget it..." The big black cow shook his head like a rattle: "Then I'll stay here and try to give birth to a son for you to play with when I come next time."

"Hahahahaha..." Mr. Han patted the big black cow on the head: "By the way, I heard that your kid got a lot of benefits from marrying someone else's princess? Hand it over."

"That's someone's dowry...do you have to pay it too?"

"Oh, is the bride price you gave someone the property of the fleet? Then it will have to be confiscated, and then I will find a way to buy you something else." Mr. Han said with a smile: "Besides, if you don't pay Come out, what do you guys think?"

"Well...you are right, then I will bring it tomorrow, but you should prepare something for me anyway, otherwise Da Song will lose face."

"rest assured."

Although Da Hei Niu was a little reckless and a little ghostly, but because of his respect for Mr. Han, he still brought his dowry, a large box full of gemstones and gold jewelry, to him the next day.

When he handed these things to Mr. Han, his expression was like that of a dead father.

However, Mr. Han did not disappoint him. He handed the eight cows, ten horses and more than 20 sheep that came with the fleet to Da Hei Niu, and said: "Don't kill and eat meat, you boy, I I will leave you the things that are planted on the fleet, and you will take good care of them.”

The big black cow is just a reckless man but not stupid at all. Of course he knows the importance of these big animals in a farming society.

At the beginning, the leader of the natives was greedy for these big animals, but Mr. Han refused to hand them over anyway.

Now that he can give this thing to himself, there must be a deep meaning in it.

"You do it yourself."

"If you are dissatisfied with Mr. Han, you can tell me that these treasures can make me the king here. When the old man dies, I will be able to become the throne relying on these big animals."

Mr. Han smiled and said nothing, and the big black cow immediately understood after seeing his expression: "You just want me to be enthroned?"

"No? Don't give it back to me."

"If you want it, who wouldn't want this thing." The big black cow happily led the people back with the big animal.

And the moment he entered the native city with these animals, he immediately became the focus of the audience. Even the king of the natives came out to see these treasures in person. When he saw that his son-in-law was leading them, he thought The old face was wrinkled like a cosmos on the spot.
