Fenghou

Chen Ji asked a little nervously, "Is the father going to investigate them?"

Chen Qing shook his head, "I'm just asking casually, the inner guard is responsible for your safety, I don't have that much energy."

Chen Ji calmed down and said, "One of them is Yao Lei and the other is Fang Jiedong. They are both from Guanzhong. Yao Lei's father is Yao Changyun, the magistrate of Zheng County, and Fang Jiedong's grandfather is the chief professor of Fengxiang Prefecture School."

Chen Qing said with a smile: "It's surprising that the chief professor's grandson actually studied agriculture instead of going to the Imperial Academy!"

"His grandfather was more open-minded. He always believed that food is the most important thing for the people, and food is more important than anything else, so he asked his grandson to learn farming."

"That's right, it's rare for an old Confucian scholar to have such an idea!"

"I asked you to care about the growth of potatoes in the glazed room. Have you watched it during this time?"

"I go to see it every day. I went to see it before I came back yesterday. It's growing very well. Professor Yang said that there are a lot of small potatoes growing underneath, but unfortunately I didn't see it."

Chen Ji remembered something, and hurriedly said: "After the beginning of spring, eighty of our agricultural students will go to Fengxiang to farm for a month, and the children want to go too!"

"Of course I'm going!"

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "You have to understand that being a father doesn't mean that you should learn farming!"

Chen Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Father sent the child to show mercy to the peasants!"

Chen Qing nodded, "If you don't know the hardships of farmers, you won't understand the difficulties of the world. It is not easy to build a country for your father, but it is even more difficult to maintain this country. It needs you and your descendants to maintain it from generation to generation. "

"Father's teachings, children will remember them in their hearts!"

The first thousand 470 chapters and seven mutinies

Going to the capital, in the dark night, torches were lit inside and outside the city gate, illuminating the gate like daylight, and a mighty cavalry team appeared outside the city, with Marshal Wanyan Wushu in full armor at the front of the team .

When Wanyan Wushu got the news, Wanyan Talan wrote to the emperor, impeaching himself for not doing enough to attack Goryeo, which cost a lot of national power, and suggested that he be relieved of military power.

Of course Wanyan Wushu knew what lifting the military power meant to him?

He didn't stop doing anything, and decided to act first, launch a coup, and get rid of Wanyan Tarlan.

The [-] troops guarding the city gate obeyed his order, and he led [-] troops into the city from the west gate.

"See Marshal Du for your humble position!" Ximen Guard General Wanyan Dabao knelt down and saluted.

"How is the situation in the city?" Wanyan Wushu asked.

"Reporting to Marshal Du, the city is very quiet and there is nothing unusual!"

"Okay! Continue to guard the city gate, and I will reward you a lot later!"

"Marshal Xie Du!"

Wanyan Wushu waved his sword, "Go into the city!"

Fifty thousand troops poured into the city like a tide, and quickly controlled every vital point in the city.

Wan Yanchang's Xiangguo Mansion was also surrounded by [-] soldiers. At this time, Wan Yanchang was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly pushed awake.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"

"What's the matter?" Wan Yanchang asked in a daze.

"The big thing is bad, there are troops surrounding our mansion!"

"what!"

Wanyan sat up vigorously, and asked nervously, "Whose army is it?"

"It seems to be... the army of the fourth prince!"

"what!"

Wan Yanchang slapped his forehead, he was careless and impeached Wu Shu, but he didn't expect him to jump the wall in a hurry, this bastard launched a coup d'état.

Wan Yanchang got up quickly and shouted: "Stop them, don't enter the mansion, I'm going to the palace!"

"But it was too late, Wanyan Chang had just rushed out of the door of the room, when hundreds of soldiers rushed into the courtyard, immediately surrounded him, and the leading general was Wanyan Wushu's eldest son, Wanyan Bodie!"

"Bodie, are you going to rebel and kill important ministers?" Wan Yanchang put a big hat on him.

Wanyan Bodie said coldly: "Where did we rebel, it's just the Qing emperor's side, don't worry! Without the emperor's will, we will not kill you."

Wanyan Bodie waved his hand, and the soldiers forced Wanyanchang back into the room, and then hundreds of soldiers surrounded the room, Wanyanchang's wife was also taken away, and there was only Wanyanchang in the whole room.

Wan Yanchang also had an army, but he was stationed outside the city, and he was extremely anxious. The news could not be delivered, so he could only hope that the emperor could resist the pressure of Wushu.

……

Wanyan Wushu led [-] soldiers into the palace, thousands of guards were confiscated, and the emperor Wanyan Quan was forced to receive Wanyan Wushu.

"Uncle Huang, what are you doing? Are you trying to force me to abdicate?" Wanyan Quan said coldly.

Wanyan Wushu bowed and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, I have absolutely no rebellious heart, I am just on the side of the Qing emperor, and I will eradicate the treacherous ministers around me for Your Majesty!"

"Who is the traitor?"

"It's laziness! Your Majesty, he advocated for peace with the Song Dynasty many times, which made us lose the opportunity to destroy the Song Dynasty. If we destroy the Song Dynasty in time and occupy the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, we will not be defeated again and again. In the end, even Yanshan Road It is also lost, our Dajin has reached the most critical moment, to strive for strength, to rejuvenate, we must first eradicate traitors and concentrate military power, Your Majesty, we do not have much time left."

Holding his sword, Wanyan Wushu walked up the steps step by step, pressed towards Wanyan Quan, and said sharply: "Your Majesty, the ancestors of the Great Jin Dynasty are all watching! Is Your Majesty going to destroy the country for a traitor?"

Wanyan Quan was forced by the coercion of Wanyan Wushu, sat down slumped, and had to bow her head, "Uncle Huang, calm down, I will just make an order."

Wanyan Wushu made a wink, and someone immediately sent a pen and ink. Wanyan Quan had no choice but to personally draw up an order to bestow Wanyan Chang's death, and at the same time hand over Wanyanchang's army to the command of Wanyan Wushu. Wanmeng'an Army, except for the 15 troops commanded by Wanyan Quan, the other [-] troops were all captured by Wanyan Wushu.

Of course Wanyan Wushu would not do it, he was already a de facto coup d'état, and if he left enough capital for the emperor, would he let himself go?

Wanyan Wushu continued to exert pressure, the sword had already been placed on the imperial case, the meaning was already obvious, either give way, or give up power, and finally forced Wanyan Quan to draw up another decree, handed over the military talisman, and put his own The last [-] Meng'an troops were also handed over to Wanyan Wushu. In this way, Wanyan Quan was completely emptied, and he could not command all the troops. The power of the army fell to Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Nian. In the hands of the two of them.

Wanyan Wushu replaced the palace guards with his own soldiers, he no longer worried about what Wanyan Quan did, so he rushed to Wanyan Chang's residence in person.

The two deadly enemies were finally broken, Wanyan Wushu raised his will and shouted: "The emperor has a decree, Talan colluded with the Western Army, betrayed the country and sought glory, he deserves death, and he ordered execution!"

Wan Yanchang yelled in the room: "You fart! You persecuted the emperor, you deserve death!"

Wanyan Wushu said coldly: "Light it up!"

Hundreds of rockets were fired into the room, and the surrounding area was already full of firewood. In just a moment, the house was engulfed in flames, and Wan Yanchang shouted in despair: "Wanyan Wushu, you will die, and you won't be able to dance for a few days." I will watch you die in the sky..."

The house was completely engulfed in flames and collapsed. Wan Yanchang finally died at the hands of his old rival Wanyan Wushu.

Wanyan Wushu ordered to kill all of Wanyanchang's wives and children. In order to prevent the concubines from becoming pregnant, more than a dozen concubines were also killed, and all property was confiscated.

Wanyan Wushu also served as the prime minister and took charge of the government. The emperor Wanyan Quan was completely emptied and became a puppet emperor.

Wanyan Wushu promoted fifteen ten thousand chiefs, all of whom were his confidantes, and the Han civil officials under him also took control of the imperial power. Beijing concentrated.

This is the style of Wanyan Wushu, that's what he did on Shandong Road back then, concentrating all his financial and material resources.

Wanyan Wushu knew very well that this year the Western Army was going to attack the Kingdom of Jin, but the imperial court didn't respond at all. He didn't know how to prepare for the war, didn't know how to recruit troops, and didn't know how to defend the Liaohe Estuary, which really annoyed him.

So after he took power, he began to carry out drastic reforms and prepare for war. He required all Jurchen men over the age of 14 and under 60 to wear armor and gather for training, and sent Wanfu Wanyanchi to Liaoyang Mansion to intercept Western military ships on the Liaohe River. Team.

At the same time, an order to search for iron was issued, and all iron objects from the people were handed over, including Goryeo, and all iron objects were melted down to make weapons and armor.

At the Beijing Gunpowder Bureau, Wanyan Wushu came to inspect the development of firearms on the third day after taking power.

His dissatisfaction with Wanyanchang actually has something to do with the development of Tiehuolei. Hu Shatu had already mastered Tiehuolei, but because of Wanyanchang's negligence, Hu Shatu was assassinated, and the development of Tiehuolei was interrupted. Do not start all over again.

Under the guard of dozens of personal soldiers, Wanyan Wushu walked into the most secret compound in the Gunpowder Bureau.

The first thousand and 470 eight chapters search

The current supervisor of the development of Tie Huo Lei is Hushatu's apprentice, named Yelulu, who is also a Khitan. Although he does not know the gunpowder formula, Hushatu made it himself, but he cast the iron shell. It took three years to imitate it.

Wanyan Wushu touched the dozens of iron shells on the shelf and asked: "Could the famous Tiehuolei be this kind of scrap metal?"

"My lord doesn't know something. Only broken copper and iron gunpowder can explode. The iron fire thunder of the Western Army that my master got from Taiyuan Mansion back then was such broken copper and broken iron!"

"He got it from Xijun?" Wanyan Wushu asked curiously.

Yelulu shook his head and said, "It's the Sima of the Taiyuan Prefecture. The iron fire thunder of the Western Army is occasionally used by civilians, so he secretly intercepted one by chance and gave it to my master."

"Can I get it again? Money is not an issue."

Yelulu smiled wryly and said: "My master also wanted to get a few more, and used a beauty trick, but there are no more. The Western Army is very strict on the use of iron fire mines. Even if the local government applies, it is also used by special soldiers. There is no difference with the government. It matters."

"All right!"

Wanyan Wushu also knew that the possibility was unlikely, and asked again: "Then what is the problem now?"

"gunpowder!"

Yelulu said regretfully: "I have already given all the recipes master used to the gunpowder maker, but it is just a little bit too hot. I can't fry the iron shell, but I can fry the wooden barrel!"

"Could it still be a problem with the iron shell?"

"My lord, all the iron shells made by the humble job have been tested successfully, and there is no problem with the iron shell."

Wanyan Wushu was really helpless, so he said: "Then make two-handed preparations, continue to develop iron fire mines with all your strength, and at the same time make a large number of wood fire mines, to learn from the Western Army, fill them with poisonous nails!"

"Follow the order!"

Wanyan Wushu left the Gunpowder Bureau and went to the city to inspect again. Outside the northern city was the frozen Datong River, and he could faintly see a dozen frozen boats. Seeing the boats, Wanyan Wushu was heartbroken. Back then, he appealed to the court repeatedly. Shipbuilding has been called for for five or six years, but less than a hundred small boats have been built.

Seeing that the navy of the Western Army is getting stronger day by day, the Kingdom of Jin once had a navy for a while. When they searched the mountains and seas, the warships of the Jin soldiers chased the emperor of the Song Dynasty to the sky, and there was no way to go to the ground. In the end, the navy went from bad to worse. Simply disappeared, is it the decline of national strength?

Thinking of inspecting the warehouse, I saw a mountain of wealth. So much gold and silver were collected from Bianliang, Tokyo, and piled in the warehouse for more than [-] years. I don’t know how to use it. Refused to sinicize, refused to use Han people, so gold and silver became waste copper and rotten iron, but not transformed into national power.

If I give myself a few more years, I will definitely reform completely, learn the advanced technology of the Han people, and be brave enough to use the Han people. Will I still have this opportunity?

Wanyan Wushu looked at the frozen Datong River in rapt attention. At this moment, another heavy snow fell from the sky.

……

In Linhuang Mansion, Zhang Lu met the worried Xiao Wanmu at the inn. From the beginning of their exploration and communication, they now trust each other. Huangfu.

Everyone is smart, Zhang Lu didn't believe Xiao Wanmu just because he was from Khitan, Xiao Wanmu also knew the power of Yong Kingdom, Jin Kingdom was dying, even if he didn't help the Western Army at this time, he still couldn't make things worse , bringing endless disasters to himself and his descendants.

What's more, the Khitans and the Jurchens are feuds. Although many Khitans obey the Kingdom of Jin, there are also Khitans who hate the Jurchens, including Xiao Dan and Xiao Wanmu.

"General Xiao is very worried!" Zhang Lu asked with a smile.

"Today, Wanyan Asai received an eagle letter from Shangjing, asking him to investigate and intercept Wanyan Chang's remaining party."

Zhang Lu's eyes lit up, "Is there internal strife in the Kingdom of Jin?"

"It should be. There have long been rumors that the conflict between Wanyan Chang and Wanyan Wushu has intensified, and sooner or later there will be internal strife. It seems that Wanyan Wushu has made the first move."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about the guard Wanyan Asai. He may search the whole city. In name, he wants to catch the remnants of Wanyan Chang's party, but in fact he is trying to make money. He always finds various reasons to search the city, and this time he found him again. Search the city for a reason."

"Aren't we safe?"

Xiao Wanmu said: "The inn has always been the focus of the search!"

"Which area is General Xiao in charge of? I hid in General Xiao's area. It should be safer!"

Xiao Wanmu shook his head, "I'm in charge of guarding the city, why don't you go to my house! Only my house is the safest."

"But there are thirteen of us!"

"It doesn't matter if there are more than a dozen people. My home occupies an area of ​​ten acres. The key is not to be seen."

Zhang Lu smiled and said, "I have a solution!"

……

Half an hour later, a large carriage pulled more than a dozen barrels of wine and arrived at Xiao Wanmu's mansion. Xiao Dan drove the carriage himself. Xiao Wanmu ordered his two sons to open the gate and lead the carriage into the warehouse.

Zhang Lu and his men got out of the wooden barrel, and Xiao Wanmu's son hid in the secret passage with him. Xiao Wanmu then replaced the wooden barrel with a real wine barrel and did not unload it.

At this moment, the gates of the city were closed, and teams of Jurchen soldiers rushed out of the barracks and began to search the whole city, naturally they searched the remnants of Yan Chang's party.

Every inn is the focus, Xiao Dan's inn is no exception, but there are only Yin brothers in Xiao Dan's inn, they can be regarded as two fat sheep, someone immediately reported Wanyan Asai.

"A Mughal merchant? How much money do you have?"

"It's all goods, mainly sheepskin, and there is not much money."

Wanyan Asai thought for a while and said, "One person, one thousand guan! If you don't give money, you will be arrested."

Another soldier said: "Someone saw the innkeeper deliver a cart of big wooden barrels to Mr. Xiao Qianfu's house. Could it be that he transferred the money of the Mengwu merchants?"

Wanyan Asai rolled his eyes, "Go and see!"

Wanyan Asai came to Xiao Wanmu's mansion, Xiao Wanmu was nearby, when he got the news, he rushed back immediately.
