Song Wen smiled and looked at Brother Yelushan across from him. Brother Yelushan sighed... "My father is sincerely soliciting the invitation, so Brother Wen no longer thinks about it? If it can be discussed, I will take Brother Wen to visit him immediately.
My father, you can get official titles and titles at your fingertips!"
Song Wen shook his head: "I have made it clear to Mr. Hou about the inheritance taboos of my sect... If I go out to save more people, I will never compromise my wealth and glory. If Mr. Hou still wants to stay with me,
Let’s not talk about this friendship anymore. After all, I have never been hostile to Daliao."
Brother Yelushan nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wen really won't dedicate it to the Song Dynasty court regarding gunpowder bombs?"
Song Wen smiled calmly: "The military preparedness of the Song Dynasty was poor, and the warriors were discriminated against... Let alone a few gunpowder bombs, even if millions of gunpowder bombs piled up, would the Song Dynasty have a chance to destroy the Liao Dynasty? My master only taught me one thing.
In matters, man can conquer heaven! If the Liao Dynasty did not mess up its position, how could it be afraid of the Song Dynasty?"
"That makes sense!"
Brother Yelushan frowned and said, "If our Southern Palace Prince's Mansion fully supports you in making gunpowder bombs, how much can it supply to us every month?"
Song Wen replied: "In the future, I will move most of the workshops to the sea outside Dengzhou. From there, I will take the sea route and transport them directly to the coast of Liao Kingdom. It only takes a day and a night to travel. If there is no shortage of raw materials... a thousand pieces a month is not
question!"
"It's still a little lacking..."
Song Wen smiled and said: "If there are too many, if the Liao Emperor finds out... he might even be interested in the Song Dynasty! However, this thing is extremely beneficial for defending the city, and the power of attacking the city will be greatly reduced... Once the opponent
With precautions, the effect of ambush cavalry will be much less effective! The Liao Kingdom's combat strength is still the Khitan cavalry across the north, and gunpowder bombs can only be regarded as a auxiliary position against the Jurchens!"
Brother Yelushan smiled and shook his head: "Of course I know this...but today's Khitan cavalry, alas..."
Song Wen said: "I will never let this kind of weapon affect the balance of power between the great powers. Peace between Liao and Song has not been easy for nearly a hundred years. Now the war between Liao and Jurchens is tense... I feel that it is not so much the Jurchens that
Brave and invincible, it is better to say that Daliao lost its combat power due to peace. If this continues, I am afraid it will be easier for some careerists and Jurchens..."
Brother Yelushan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What news did you hear in the Song Dynasty?"
Song Wen shook his head: "I have been far away from Bianliang for a long time. How can I know any news? It's just that some things are inevitable..."
Brother Yelushan laughed heartily...
"Hahahaha...Brother Wen, are you talking about the eunuch Tong Guan who was humiliated by my lord last time? That guy thought he was a real man after growing a few beards, and he actually wanted to warn my lord,
He also wants to redeem several cities in Yanyun... He thinks that the Liao Dynasty's war with the Jurchens is a good time for the Song Dynasty, and he wants to take advantage of the crisis? Who is he? Just rely on the soldiers of the Song Dynasty? Those sheep are as timid as those lambs.
A general? Or one of those boastful civil servants? If he hadn’t been whipped, my lord would be considered civilized and knowledgeable..."
Song Wen sighed: "In that case, it's settled...I will arrange for Qingshan Village to be prepared during this period, at least half a year later! The goods we trafficked to Daliao, including gunpowder bombs, will be shipped from Dengzhou
Shipping by sea can save a lot of time and trouble, and the transportation cost will be much less."
Brother Yelushan shook his head... "You, since you are not welcome in the Song Dynasty... why bother to cling to the teacher's dogma and remain stubborn? It is a pity for your talent..."
"Hahaha, maybe it's because of my laziness that I can't be a high official, right?"
~~~~~~
On the second day, a group of cavalry slowly drove out of the military camp. Song Wen and his party had been waiting here for a long time.
A personal entourage of Brother Yelushan explained to the Khitan centurion who was leading the team, and then politely bowed his hands to Song Wen and returned to the Grand Prince's Mansion in the South Campus.
That centurion was an acquaintance. It was Xiao Teng, the centurion who followed Brother Yelu Shan to escort Song Wen's caravan into Nanjing.
The Xiao surname is considered the second most common surname among the Khitan people, Yelu belongs to the royal family, and the Xiao surname belongs to the descendants... The remaining early Khitan tribal surnames have long been annexed by these two major surnames, but the tribesmen with many surnames in these two groups
There are so many relationships both near and far, so it is not surprising that some branches of the branch are living in poverty. Being able to be a centurion's confidant under the Yelu nobles can be considered to be outstanding.
Xiao Teng knew that Song Wen was a distinguished guest of the young Marquis! In the past year, the young Marquis had made a lot of money with the unique Tiandichun shochu, and he had also made friends with many royal relatives in the capital.
Even His Majesty the Emperor of Liao was full of praise for Tiandichun Soju.
So I really couldn't neglect this seemingly frail young man.
"I've met Mr. Song!"
Xiao Teng cupped his hands and bowed first, neither flattering nor arrogant.
Song Wen knew that this guy was scheming, so he hurriedly returned the favor and said, "Following General Xiao's cavalry all the way to the grassland will trouble the general!"
"Xiao, a little centurion, cannot be called a general! If Song Langjun doesn't dislike it, just call me brother!"
"good!"
Abandoning the baggage convoy, Song Wen walked among the Khitan cavalry with the big-eyed sister Ling'er of Anchun from Daruchi, Mingyue leading the strange pot-bellied horse, and six guards with about ten pack horses.
By the time of Emperor Tianzuo, the power of the Nanyuan King had been weakened a lot, especially as the southern officials of the Han group in the Liao Dynasty gradually became more stable, making the situation on the border between the Liao and Song Dynasties more and more complicated.
However, Yeluqi was deeply trusted by the Liao Emperor. Rather than saying that his highest official rank was the King of Nanyuan, his real power was to guard Nanjing City of the Liao Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the military and horse capital!
All the military prefectures near Nanjing, and all the troops and horses were under his control... Except for the Liao Emperor's confidants who stayed behind and had some power to monitor secret reports, the city of Nanjing in the Liao Dynasty could be said to be the world of the Nanyuan King.
In return for his kindness, Yeluqi also showed his loyalty to the Liao Emperor. During this time, many of his elite cavalry were deployed to support the battlefield in Zhongjing. Therefore, in order to stabilize the military strength of Nanjing, Yeluqi sent dozens more cavalry through the left-behind department.
The horse army rushed to the Modong grassland to conscript Mongolian horses for military use... As for whether these people would plunder and exploit the Mongolian herdsmen, the Liao court could no longer control that much.
Along the way, Daruch was very silent, and even a little restless when taking a break.
Song Wen knew that this was the origin of the fear of being close to home. In addition, these Khitans went to rob their own Mongolian tribe. Although the Tatar tribe had long been accustomed to being squeezed by the rising foreign tribes since its decline, this bloody
The history of China is not so easily accepted by the Tatar Mongols who agree to be fierce...
