[Comprehensive] Survival of the Last Emperor

Wanyan Chenglin lived on Zhongnan Mountain for a few more days, and it was true that the girls of the Ancient Tomb Sect had nothing to do with him, and after Wang Chuyi recommended two Taoist priests who love alchemy, he just left the mountain with a resentful expression.

Forget it, if you don't see a beautiful woman, you won't be able to see a beautiful woman, so you don't want to want it when you see it.

Wanyan Chenglin asked himself, now he is not the cautious and cautious Wanyan Chenglin a few years ago.

Although IQ has not increased much, but after being a prince for several years, my ambitions are inevitably a little swollen, and seeing a beautiful woman again does not guarantee that I will be calm and persistent-especially this kind who is very pure and loveless, and a lollipop can deceive The little girl who left, who knew what she would do that was worse than a beast?

After getting off Mount Zhongnan and returning to Zhongdu, I found Wanyan Honglie and Bao Xiruo... still in a sadomasochistic relationship.

Bao Xiruo recited Buddhist scriptures every day, so he became more and more reluctant to kill animals, and he was also indifferent to Wanyan Honglie.

Wanyan Honglie was very kind to his concubines, and to his younger sons—his younger brothers, but he seemed to be even better to himself.

The reason for using "it seems" is because Wanyan Chenglin never used the soul-moving technique on Wanyan Honglie, or should be said to have thought about it but didn't use it. He was afraid that the truth would be too cruel to bear, so he would kill his father when he got excited.

Therefore, Wanyan Chenglin would rather believe that he is Wanyan Honglie's biological son, or that Wanyan Honglie really loves Bao Xiwei, so he makes two guesses about his love for Wu and Wu.

Although in the original book, Wanyan Honglie and his father and son have always had a strong relationship, and Wanyan Honglie also said "If I become the emperor, I will make my deity the crown prince one day", but after all, it was said in a situation of shared adversity, who Do you know if people's hearts will change once they become rich?

However, you can't use the soul-shifting technique to deal with Wanyan Honglie, and it doesn't mean that you can't use the soul-shifting technique to deal with Wanyan Honglie's confidants.

It's not unfilial to deal with Wanyan Honglie's subordinates, but to see if there are any changes in Dad's subordinates.

Originally Wanyan Chenglin just wanted to see if Wanyan Honglie had leaked information like these people, but he didn't expect to find out that someone conspired to overthrow Wanyan Honglie and put his cousin Wanyan Xun in the position instead.

Wanyan Xun was the eldest son of Jin Xuanzong's concubine, that is, the eldest brother of the Jin Jingzong who had just died. Because he was a concubine and had no inheritance rights, it was not his turn to take the position of emperor grandson, but his younger brother's turn.

But Wanyan Chenglin didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. For so many years, he has always been attached to the throne.

That's right, the throne, everyone wants this kind of thing, no wonder he hasn't given up after all these years.

Although Wanyan Chenglin knew about this, he didn't say anything. He just ordered people to continue to stare at Wanyan Xun, and changed to research more important things.

firearm!

Don't be surprised, it's firearms, which existed in the Song Dynasty, but they are very primitive, with a short range, low power, and easy to break. The worst thing is that there are no such things as rear sights, starlights, blunderbuss holders, and blunderbuss machines. All aspects are compared to a mass of scum by spears, so they are very unloved by the ancient working people.

But as a time traveler, Wanyan Chenglin knows that firearms will be the mainstream of future world development, so he is more inclined to the research and development of firearms technology than the research of long guns.

The quality of the current firearms is very poor, and it is true that they are blown away by the very powerful long gun technology in all aspects.

But now the firearms are still in the state of research and development, and the spear technology has been studied by the Chinese people since the pre-Qin in ancient times, and it can be said that it has developed to the limit in the Song Dynasty.

At that time, Zhuge Liang invented the Liannu that could store ten arrows, which looked like a legend, but in the Song Dynasty, there was already a ballista that could fire seventy arrows, and with the help of the ballista, the Song people's bow and arrow could shoot one arrow. A samurai in armor, nailed to the ground with his man and horse, it was as if he had been hanged.

So comparing firearms with bow rage technology is like comparing a baby with an adult, the difference is only time.

Of course, after talking about it, Yan Chenglin was actually forced.

In terms of high technology, the spear technology of the Jin people cannot catch up with that of the Song people; in terms of manual riding and shooting, the Jin people are only a half-fishing and half-farming people. In terms of this thing, even the Liao people can’t match it, let alone riding and shooting. The Mongols across the Eurasian continent, this is the rhythm of seeking death.

In desperation, Wanyan Chenglin had no choice but to painstakingly develop new technologies. Currently, he is taking advantage of the relative peace in recent years to develop black technology.

Since the old technology cannot catch up with others, it is better to open up new technology and let others chase us.

More than 100 years later, how did Zhu Baba drive the Mongols out of the Central Plains?Do you think that the Mongols were depraved and corrupted by swords and spears?Of course, it relies on various advanced firearms.

Later Ming Chengzu attacked outside the stronghold several times and drove straight into Mongolia, relying on all kinds of awesome firearms.

The Ming Dynasty has always attached great importance to the opening up of armaments. The Shenjiying is an army that specializes in firearms. However, the armaments were too chaotic later on. The firearms produced were often due to quality problems, such as wrong aiming. It is worse than bows and arrows just to blow up the chamber and blow yourself up, so the development of firearms in China has degenerated.

Therefore, after learning the lessons of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, Wanyan Chenglin set strict requirements on the firearms team from the beginning of manufacture, and even learned what the people of the Qin Dynasty did—that is, every gun and every part should be engraved with the name of the craftsman , if the quality is finally out, the craftsman can wash his neck and wait.

It’s just that firearms are quite expensive. At the beginning, Wanyan Chenglin made hundreds of guns, mainly to let soldiers in the army practice their hands and learn how to use firearms. However, Wanyan Chenglin has no plans to equip the army on a large scale .

Firstly, the cost of firearms has not come down, and secondly, there are still many unresolved problems in firearms. Wanyan Chenglin hopes that the firearms he makes can at least catch up with the standard of ordinary firearms, otherwise there is no need to put them into practical use on a large scale.

But scientific experiments have always been a waste of money. Brothers from ethnic minorities are really not experts in economics. The economy of Jin State is not one or two points worse than that of Song State.

If the Song people didn't understand what a trade war is, the Kingdom of Jin would become the back garden of the Song Dynasty in minutes. The Song people were the Bald Eagle Kingdom, and the Jin people were Canada.

Song people in this era made a lot of money in the development of long-distance voyages. Guangzhou and Quanzhou are all super big ports.

No way, Wanyan Chenglin, who couldn't do the development of Yuanhang, had to set his sights on the small foot basin known as the "Gold and Silver Country".

Wanyan Chenglin didn't have the courage to set foot on the Japanese island back then—what Kublai Khan failed to do, he just forgot it.

However, the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the small foot basin is very good, and the two countries have always had a lot of exchanges with each other. It is said in the rivers and lakes that the folding fan that the Chinese people like to use later entered China at this time.

But if you want to do business with the small foot basin, think about the silk, tea, and porcelain that Wai Guoren likes. After Yan Chenglin thought about it, he found that he had nothing to win against the group of merchants from the Song Dynasty—because the silk, tea, and porcelain from the Jin Kingdom Porcelain was still supplied by the Song Dynasty.

Later, Wanyan Chenglin kept on doing nothing, and simply took advantage of the different gold and silver exchange ratios between the Central Plains and Xiaojiaopan to directly exchange gold and silver between the two countries.

For example, one tael of gold can only be exchanged for ten taels of silver in the Central Plains, but you can exchange more than ten taels of silver in the small foot basin. Who said that the small foot basin is short of gold and silver?

After two times of gold and silver shipments, I gradually found out what the little foot basin people like, and found that they like the things from the Central Plains very much, but not everyone can afford the good things from the Central Plains. Defective products are also acceptable. Anyway, as long as they are from Zhongyuan, it will be very face-saving to tell them.

When investigating this situation, Wanyan Chenglin really had a dumbfounding feeling. Isn’t this the mentality of Chinese people who bought food from China more than 1000 years ago?

Either the small foot basins are sold in big foodie countries, and they are always special editions with relatively poor quality;

But after figuring out this problem, Wanyan Chenglin began to boldly sell some low-quality, but cheap but imitated high-end products from Song Dynasty, and sold them into small foot basins, trying to occupy the small foot basin market. .

Although it is wrong to sell counterfeit villages, didn’t the later small foot basins and big food countries all start with poor-quality knockoffs?Today's small foot basin is not much better than that of Africa later.

Some people have also thought that after learning Yan Chenglin's way of selling, it's just that other things are okay, but in terms of cotton cloth, it is not as cheap as Jinren's cotton cloth at all-after all, not everyone can afford silk. Not many people can afford cotton cloth.

Now Jinren's cotton cloth has not only occupied the small foot basin market, but also started anti-dumping to the Song Dynasty, which can be called an anecdote of the century-old trade between the Song and Jin Dynasties.

The reason why this happened is that Wanyan Chenglin finally got out the ancient killer of the Jenny textile machine, and immediately changed the price of cotton cloth in the Kingdom of Jin to the price of cabbage; Getting close to one's own tribe to buy wool suddenly expanded the scope of cotton cloth from pure cotton weaving to various wool products.

Because he disliked that the weaving technology has not improved-in fact, it will not improve, Wanyan Chenglin simply made wool yarn for sale, and also a tutorial for matching basic scarves and sweaters.

Of course Wanyan Chenglin doesn’t know how to knit sweaters, but he has seen people knitting, although the only way he knows the weaving method is flat stitches, flat stitches, flat stitches, and then long and long, to knit a flat stitch scarf without flowers , I don’t understand any pattern and color matching.

But he doesn't know, it doesn't mean that the smart ancient working people won't learn from one another. Although the patterns can't be compared with the variety of later generations, they can still knit sweaters anyway.

But then again, making textile machines and making cotton cloth is of course not to promote the material and cultural development of the people. Although making money is one purpose, the more important purpose is to deal with Mongolia.

Sheep shed their wool every year.

Before Wan Yan Chenglin, the wool was not only useless, but when the sheep were moulted, the tribal leaders had to take a lot of trouble to dispose of the pile of wool.

But since Wanyan Chenglin started buying Mongolian wool, the Mongolian brothers discovered that wool is more profitable than sheep, and they were as excited as the beginning of a new century.

Especially in several tribes close to the Kingdom of Jin, relying on the money Wan Yan Chenglin earned from collecting wool, and bought more tea, silk, and various finished products of wool from Wan Yan Chenglin, after the quality of life went up all of a sudden, Many tribes came to sell their wool.

Since you want to do business with the Jin people, you must be filial and loyal to the court of the Kingdom of Jin. Then you have to fight whoever we ask you to fight, and whoever we don’t let you fight. You...why are you fighting again?

In the era of the Industrial Revolution, there was a term called "sheep eat people", which refers to the fact that in the [-]th and [-]th centuries, because of the prosperity of the wool weaving industry in Europe, the demand for wool surged, and raising sheep became a very profitable business.Therefore, landlords fenced their own land and public land to graze sheep, and forcibly occupied farmers' land.Farmers lost the land on which they depended to support their families, and they took care of the old and the young, and wandered to strange places.

On the Mongolian steppe in the twelfth century, there were several times what the Mongols called "Wool Wars".The Celestial Dynasty is always arrogant and conceited, and even the invasion of the small foot basin in the late Ming Dynasty can only occupy a few words in "Ming History". Naturally, no one cares about such a small border battle except Wanyan Chenglin.

Good fight, good fight!The more lively the Mongolian fight, the better. A divided Mongolia is a good Mongolia.

Wanyan Chenglin, who has not yet taken his eyes off Mongolia, has married the Crown Princess, and even has a son who can make soy sauce, suddenly heard that there is a saying about his life experience in the court recently.

I was really afraid of something. The bomb really exploded, but I don't know where it came from?

Wanyan Chenglin thought about it, and found that it was quite normal for this matter to explode.

In the past Wanyan Honglie was just the King of Zhao, but now he is the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin. It is normal for him to be picked up for the bad things he did in the Song Dynasty in the early years - colluding with the Song Dynasty government to seize the girls of the Song Dynasty.

Maybe the part where he did something bad, because he killed Duan Tiande, no one knew about it, but I remember that in the original book, Wanyan Honglie took a pregnant woman around in the Song Dynasty under the identity of King Zhao.

Calculating the time and calculating the location, it really must be... this time is definitely not right!

Unexpectedly, I would have a day when I had the same experience as Emperor Shihuang, but I don't know why, and I didn't feel happy at all.

Either I was born a few months prematurely, or I was born a few months late, no matter how you look at it, it is not a normal baby.

Author, you come out, let's talk.

Wanyan Chenglin had heard about the rumors in the court, and Wanyan Honglie naturally knew something about it, so in order to understand his confusion, he specially took Wanyan Chenglin to have a heart-to-heart talk.

There is only one heart-to-heart talk, if you weren't my son, why would I bother so much?

After Wanyan Chenglin went back, he held his chin and thought for a while, maybe he really might be Wanyan Honglie's biological son.

Because now Wanyan Honglie is no longer the infatuated King Zhao who only married one person in the original book. Although Bao Xiruo is still a queen, she eats vegetarian food and prays to Buddha all day long. Wanyan Honglie doesn't dote on her very much. , There are many sons who are similar to grandsons, so there is no need to care about such a fake son as myself.

But if Wanyan Honglie really wants his fake son to be emperor because he loves Bao Xiruo, and deliberately neglects Bao Xiruo in order to make his fake son become emperor more smoothly... Alas!My head is getting bigger!

Wanyan Chenglin scratched his head, sometimes he really wanted to try Bao Xiruo and Wanyan Honglie with the soul shifting technique.

Wait, just because you can't test Wanyan Honglie and Bao Xiruo, doesn't mean you can't test others?In this world, they are not the only ones who know their identities.

Wanyan Chenglin thought of a person who was supposed to appear in the plot but didn't - Qiu Chuji.

As the crown prince of a country, Qiu Chuji would naturally not have to bother to go to Zhongnan Mountain again. Since Genghis Khan had not unified the Mongolian grasslands in this life, Qiu Chuji would not have the opportunity to curry favor with the upstarts and lead the way, so he heard the request from the crown prince of Jin Kingdom At that time, he quickly sent him thousands of miles into the palace.

After years of training, Wanyan Chenglin's soul-shifting technique and internal strength are not the same as that of Wuxia Ameng, and the soul-shifting technique comes from Taoist classics. It is more effective to control Qiu Chuji, a Taoist master, than half the effort.

Therefore, without too much trouble, Wanyan Chenglin controlled Qiu Chuji.

Although there was no way for Qiu Chuji to be like an ordinary person, to be controlled by himself to self-harm, or to expose some important secrets, but it was still possible to say some insignificant things.

Wanyan Chenglin's life experience is irrelevant.

"Qiu Chuji still remembers decades of Lin'an Niujia Village, do you know two families, one Guo and one Yang?"

In Qiu Chuji's narration, after he signed an 18-year contract with the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River, he has been looking for news about the Guo and Yang families.There was no news for several years, and later I found out the whereabouts of Yang Tiexin's wife Bao Shi by chance. Yang Tiexin has no blood left.As for Bao herself, after losing her son, she married another man, and her new husband treated him very well, so she soon had another child.When I found it, the child was already five or six years old, very lively and lovely.

After listening to Qiu Chuji's words, Wanyan Chenglin's heart sank, but he still asked uneasy: "Are you sure, that child is not Yang Tiexin's child?"

"The child is from a powerful family. He has grown up under the attention of everyone since he was born. There is no way to hide the date of birth. According to the birthday that Pindao inquired about, in terms of time... it is indeed not Yang Tiexin's flesh and blood."

When Qiu Chuji spoke, his expression was slightly hesitant.

Wanyan Chenglin knew why he was hesitant, because of his birthday...December is too late for a late birth, and too early for a premature birth.

After all, the mystery in Yan Chenglin's heart still hasn't been resolved.

Wanyan Chenglin waved his hand, and was about to undo the soul-shifting technique on Qiu Chuji, when he suddenly thought of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters who had been distorted by him.

"So what happened to your 18-year agreement?"

"I have never found any descendants of Brother Yang, nor have the Seven Devils of the South of the Yangtze River found any descendants of Brother Guo, so the 18-year agreement ended in a tie, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the world is unpredictable. Back then, the seven monsters from the south of the Yangtze River were looking for the descendants of Brother Guo on the Mongolian grassland. Unexpectedly, they met two people, the Black Wind and Shuangsha. Mei Chaofeng fled blindly, but the five monsters died with Chen Xuanfeng. Therefore, only Zhang Asheng came to the appointment in the end. and Han Xiaoying."

"what?"

Wanyan Chenglin was a little surprised. In the original book, only one of the seven Jiangnan monsters died, and that was Zhang Asheng, which led to the tragedy of Zhang Asheng and Han Xiaoying, the mandarin ducks.

This time without Guo Jing stabbing the knife, five of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters died at once, but the mandarin ducks Zhang Asheng and Han Xiaoying survived.

what is this?God's compensation?

But this matter is a little entangled, and it is over.

As for the gossip in the court, when His Majesty the Emperor did not express his opinion, and the Crown Prince was old and had real power, after a few days of spreading, it disappeared with the wind.

Although no one knows if it's really gone or not, but there is no news for the time being.

A few years later, Wanyan Honglie suffered from an old injury in his early years, and had to stay in bed as a last resort, and the crown prince Wanyan Chenglin must be in charge of the country.

And since he supervised the country, the rumors of his early life experience appeared again, and the rumors spread more and more widely.

Compared with the prince who used to be the prince and is now the prince of Jian Guo whose father is seriously ill, Wanyan Chenglin has stronger confidence this time.

Because of the more than ten years of research and development and training, his firearms team has already gained a certain strength and momentum, and what is missing now is an actual battle.

The rebellion of ethnic minority brothers has always been so simple and clear, without conspiracy and tricks. Taking advantage of Wanyan Chenglin's relationship with the army, Wanyan Xun colluded with the right deputy marshal Hu Shahu to rebel in Zhongdu, but in the end he accidentally met Wanyan Chenglin's The firearms team... even the most basic artillery.

Although these cannons are bulky and stupid, and it is very inconvenient to carry them, they are excellent for defending the city on the city wall.

But in a confrontation between cold weapons and firearms, Wanyan Chenglin not only defeated the rebels beautifully with an absolute advantage, but also shut up all those who questioned his life experience.

Soon after Wanyan Chenglin defeated the rebels, Wanyan Honglie died of illness, and his will passed the throne to Wanyan Chenglin before his death.

A month later, Wan Yan Chenglin's enthronement ceremony was successfully held in Zhongdu.

On the third day after the ceremony was held, His Majesty the Emperor opened his eyes and saw the sun slowly rising, and suddenly said in a very unpromising way: "Isn't this the emperor with the shortest reign in history? There will be Emperor Baoqing Pu Jun help me come to the bottom!"
