The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 429 Trouble and Opportunity

With the introduction of a series of measures by the government, the situation in the disaster area has been alleviated, but the drought is still continuing. There is still no effective rainfall after May. Large-scale grain production cuts in many northern prefectures and counties have become settled, and severe areas will be pelleted.

Contract... Fortunately, Zhao Qiong had a plan to transport grain from the south to the north on a large scale. There was no phenomenon of starving people to death due to shortage of food in the prefectures and counties. Of course, there was no scene of refugees fleeing famine everywhere.

Although some governments have exempted taxes, labor service, and relief grains to receive, the people in the disaster area are worried when they see the disaster is still going on. This year's food harvest means that all the income for the year is ruined, but people are living more than just

If you have enough food, you have to wait for other expenses, especially after the drought is relieved next year, you still need to buy seeds and renovate farm tools. This will cost money, but now there is no way to make money.

Unexpectedly, the emperor thought for the victims that the severely affected governments began to post notices to collect civil servants who were engaged in water conservancy. The difference from the past is whether it is free corvee service, but remuneration, and the principle of voluntary action is not mandatory.

Yes, three meals a day are enough, and there is still a salary of ten to fifteen stakes a month. With such a good thing, how can young and strong people stay there? In this way, their families can not only have one person’s food left, but also work for a few months.

I have dozens of tons of income, enough for a year's expenses.

But this kind of good thing has caused a storm, not because he doesn't pay or get a full meal, but because there are a few more blonde and blue-eyed "barbarians" on the water conservancy construction site. Of course, they are not the same as everyone else.

Those who do the hard work are all "experts", responsible for guiding the people to dig rivers and canals, repair dams and build machinery, thinking that the people of a great country were called by a few barbarians. Their fingers naturally caused people to be

Dissatisfaction.

At first, everyone only knew that these barbarians were sent by the Ministry of Works. They were angry and could bear it, but they just cursed in private. But as time went on and contacted them increased, everyone learned that these barbarians came from Wanli.

The Arabs were far away, and they were not invited, but were the prisoners captured by the Navy of the Song Dynasty during the expedition to Persia. Those who learned the truth immediately stopped doing it. In recent years, the Song Dynasty won consecutive victories in the war, but their prisoners were seen.

There are too many, but those prisoners are the hardest and most tiring work. Now, on the other hand, how can they not accept it? They ask the government to replace people...

In fact, these barbarians were the prisoners captured from Baghdad during the expedition to Seljuk, but they were not ordinary prisoners. Those were either famous scholars, scientists, or craftsmen with skills. Zhao Qi sent them to Gen according to their directors.

The park and various workshops teach their advanced technology. A group of surveying and mapping and water conservancy talents were sent to the Ministry of Industry to study how to plan, build water conservancy facilities, and excavate canals.

At this time, these Arab experts participated in the preliminary investigation and planning. They put forward their own opinions and repair methods, which were recognized by the Ministry of Works of the Song Dynasty, so they were sent to various construction sites to serve as guidance and supervise construction.

It was a good thing, but it still caused criticism, especially those orthodox and conservative scholars were very dissatisfied with the barbarians' power, and they spoke out against this, which fueled the fire in the incident.

Zhao Qi did not find it strange when he learned about what happened at the construction site, because in history, the Central Plains region was the political, economic and cultural center of the country for a long time. This status has created the superiority of Central Plains culture as orthodox. Although in

At different historical stages, Central Plains culture has been eroded and impacted by foreign cultures many times, but it has always maintained its foundation and core unchanged, and has never achieved a true and in-depth integration with foreign cultures.

In this cultural environment, the result is that people often welcome the arrival of foreign cultures with a cold attitude, while at the same time, they have a belief in "responding to changes with the same change" and "transforming people with me",

Allow the mentality of "to transform me with people". At this time, the Chinese believed that China's political system, economic system, etc. were better than those of foreign countries. At the same time, it was also to show their superiority and orthodoxy, and then looked down on other nations, and they all called it "Yi".

.

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Song dynasty for more than a thousand years, in the academic community of the entire Central Plains, most conservatives who maintain tradition and promote traditions were maintained, but few reformists who dared to break the traditions. At the same time, under the influence of the orthodox and conservative patriarchal concepts, people

There is a natural worship of so-called authority. In academic research, authority is regarded as the leader and dare not object to their views, which leads to follow the crowd. The lack of openness of ideas leads to mostly exclusion of all external alien things, forming

A strong conservative concept.

The steady and stubborn spirit has a serious negative effect on the development of science and technology. It can easily enable talents to develop a psychological trend of self-righteousness, leading to the relatively weakening of their thinking and behavioral flexibility, agility and flexibility in adapting to external changes.

The endurance and tenacity are poor. In addition, it also affects the comparative understanding of the talents' environment, resulting in a weak sense of time, rhythm, and a weak sense of crisis and urgency.

To this day, the people of the Central Plains have lagged behind in their awareness of reform and innovation and risk competition. Therefore, under the constraints of this spirit of nature, the people of Song are not good at accepting new ideas and new concepts, and hindering the emergence and improvement of new technologies.

This will inevitably lead to a steady and self-confidence in scientific research, without innovation, it will be difficult to generate new talents and cannot improve their scientific and technological level.

Zhao Qiong knew that although the Song Dynasty was known as the most developed and advanced technology at that time, Western culture was ahead of the Song Dynasty in astronomy, numerology, mechanical manufacturing, water conservancy, engineering, chemistry, smelting, etc., so he ordered the expeditionary army to plunder.

Western books and talents have improved the scientific and technological level of the Song Dynasty and used foreign countries as a means to make the Song people understand that there are civilizations in the world that are more developed than them, and to touch those arrogant people. Even if they take

The method is very barbaric and contrary to the purpose of cultural exchange, but this is also the most convenient and fastest way.

Now Zhao Qi just made a little noise, and the conservative forces could no longer bear it. They began to yell to step on all the things brought by the barbarians and stamp them on their feet. Then, it would be better for them to learn Western technology in the future.

He gave the Taixue a little. Therefore, Zhao Qi did not take this noise seriously. He still asked the Yi people to preside over the construction of the project and granted official positions. He allowed them to gain a legitimate foothold in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Qiong couldn't ignore the opposition, and he did not use the method of strong suppression. Instead, he used the media battlefield of "Xuanbao" to start a war against conservative forces, so that the general public could understand the world they never knew. Knowing that the Song Dynasty was not

Leading the world in all aspects. First, Zheng Qiao, the Minister of Works, published an article titled "Rabbit for My Use" in the newspaper, firing at conservative forces and emphasizing the importance and necessity of absorbing advanced external technologies.

As soon as Zheng Qiao's article was published, it quickly sparked a debate in the academic community of the Song Dynasty. Some supported and some opposed it. In order to get more support from more people, both sides submitted articles to the "Imperial Winter Newspaper". Zhao Qi knew that the more they debated, the more they became clearer.

The truth is that the Shangshu Province ordered the new version to introduce the scenery and technology of the Western world, and also provided both sides with a battlefield of criticism and criticism. Let them fight here. In short, is there much more civilized fighting than martial fighting?

Zhao Jie successfully attracted the attention of those conservative forces to the debate in the newspaper. Without the interference of these people and the people's trust in the government, the construction site was able to continue construction. Zhao Jie, a busy man, was also too busy, so he put it in

His eyes were turned to another battlefield, and there were already swords and swords that were endless...

..............

A few years ago, Zhao Qiong demarcated a safe zone at the junction of Song and Jin dynasties in the spirit of "international humanitarianism" to accommodate the Mengwu tribe who was beaten to the death by the Jurchens. With the support of the Song Dynasty,

Le led his troops to annex many small tribes, and his active areas continued to expand and his power gradually increased. However, Zhao Qiong never assigned his territory to the territory of the Song Dynasty, allowing him to form an independent kingdom.

Of course, Zhao Jie did this and wanted to rely on him to have a good intention. During that period of dynasty, the kingdoms of all sizes on the grasslands could often be established majesticly in just a few years. And often in just a few years.

The landslides. Zhao Qi used the Mengwu tribe to fill the power vacuum left by the Jurchen forces after they moved eastward, and the Song Dynasty had no time to visit the north. At the same time, in order to prevent the Mengwu tribe from losing control, it provided a soil for survival for the emergence of that peerless hero.

After the situation in the Song Dynasty stabilized, Zhao Qi took advantage of the opportunity of expedition to Gaochang in the west and quickly defeated all the nomadic tribes in the desert, and put the northern desert into his arms. The safe area previously designated became a cage for enclosing tigers, making it possible to

The Mengwu tribe was limited to the alliance with the Song Dynasty and could not continue to expand. However, the one living in this huge cage was not a tiger of the Mengwu tribe, but another tiger raised by the Jin Kingdom - the Tatar tribe.

When Hebule was alive, the Mengwu tribe and the Tatar tribe had turned against each other and became enemies. After his death, he ordered his cousin Anbahai from the Taichiwu tribe to be the Khan of the Mengwu tribe. It is said that heirs who could be selected by Hebule.

It should be a character. One day last year, I don’t know what was wrong with Anbahai or just wanted to have a tense relationship with Tatar’s tribe. He actually went to the tribe of his enemy to choose one of their girls as his wife.

But the Tatar tribe did not receive the kindness of Abahai, but felt insulted. Why did he marry our girl? As a result, the groom of Abahai did not do it, but he accompanied him to the Keer (

(In-person) was captured by the Tatar tribe. As the saying goes, it is easy to capture a tiger. The Tatar tribe is the most in the center of each tribe in the grassland. They understand that their strength is inferior to that of the Mengwu tribe, and there is a powerful Song Dynasty behind them.

Once he kills himself, he will be in the name of injustice, and the beam will become deeper and deeper, and the hatred will be endless and may cause serious consequences.

Because the Tatar people knew that the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom had been humiliated by Hebule Khan, and because Hebule Khan had killed his envoys and personal soldiers, they had evil thoughts towards the Mongols, and their hatred for them was deeply imprinted in the emperor's heart,

The Tatar people were under the protection of the Jin Kingdom at this time. So they adopted the practice of Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu who killed Guan Yu but sent his head to Cao Wei, and sent Anbahaikhan to the Shangjing Huining Prefecture of the Jin Kingdom.

This is not only a killing with a knife, but also a show of merit to the master.

The Jin Dynasty Emperor Wanyan Tan must have never watched "Three Kingdoms". Of course, a drunkard is not as good as Cao Cao's brain, and he cannot do his hypocritical "burial head" to resolve doubts. What he cannot forget is that he has been with the Mengwu tribe for many years.

The accumulated new and old hatreds were ordered to use iron nails to nail the "wooden donkey" according to the law of the Ministry of Punishment of Rebellion. Of course, he did this without any purpose.

Wanyan Tan thought that killing Anbahai would make the Tatar tribe and the Mongolian tribe become a feud. He killed Anbahai. The people from the Mengwu tribe would hate him, but these two were Tatar.

The men were tied up and sent to him, so the people of the Mengwu tribe should hate the Tatar people even more. From then on, the two tribes had a lot of trouble, and the Jin Dynasty was just taking advantage of it. In fact, this is a very typical plan to use the barbarians to control the barbarians.

The people of the Mengwu tribe hate the Tatars, and the Tatars will seek great gold and be willing to be tied together.

Anbahaikhan is worthy of being a man. Although he is facing the threat of death, he is still afraid of danger and is ready to die. Before the execution, he said, "It was someone who caught me, but it is not you; you treat me shamelessly and unfairly,

It is not worthy of praise. The Mengwu tribes are all my relatives. They will try their best to avenge you for me, and your country will be in peace. There is no doubt that they will rise up to pay you blood debts for me.

. Therefore, it is unwise for you to kill me!"

Not only did Anbahai laugh at Jin Xizong for being shameless, but he also publicly stated that he would pay back the blood debt from the Jin Dynasty. As an emperor of a great country, Wanyan Tan was certainly unwilling to show weakness. He let one of his Na Keer go and asked him to go back to report to the Mengwu tribe.

Before Na Ke'er left, Anbahaikhan told him, "You go to Hutus among the seven sons of Emperor Hebule, and then to Prince Hedaan, among my ten sons, and say, "You

I will grind my five nails and ten fingers, and I will avenge me."

'Grinding your nails, clenching your fists to fight', this is the meaning of the Mongolian oath. Before Anbahaikhan died, this Na Keer conveyed his son the regret of oath to his children. When Anbahaikhan was killed

When the news reached the Mengwu tribe, Hedan Grand Master and Yesuge held a "Hulletai" conference to avenge the blood revenge of Anbahai Khan.

The Mongolian tribes at that time were actually deeply trapped in the vicious circle of hatred and revenge. Despite the conspiracy to usurp the throne, and their anxiety and concerns about the future, hatred was shared by them. But they had no time to reflect on their past recklessness and recklessness, and

Without summarizing the political gains and losses of this tribe, the shame suffered by the tribe turned into a full hatred for the Tatar tribe... (To be continued...)
