Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 474 Telescope

Jin Yuxin's words were like a steel needle piercing into Jin Renwen's heart. He exhausted all his strength to keep himself from jumping up. He raised his head and replied in a sharp tone: "First, I don't need your reminder. Forget that I am still Dajiaogan of Silla, Shiyi Qianhu. As for the second point, at least until now, I am still my elder brother's courtier, so I don't know how to answer your question!"

"You are still the same, hiding everything in your heart and refusing to say it!" Jin Yuxin shook his head and said with emotion: "But it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't have much life for this old bone. The kingdom needs a strong ruler, Fa Min is an excellent king, but you are also excellent, darkness and chaos are coming, I can feel all of this..." He looked at Jin Ren meaningfully and asked: " Renshou, I hope you don't do stupid things!"

Why is it foolish in your eyes to seek the throne?Didn't you and my father do the same thing back then?Jin Renwen wanted to say it, but he knew it was useless to tell Jin Yuxin.He only felt that his throat was dry, so he forced himself to take another sip of wine.

"In any case, you are still a subject of Silla." Kim Yuxin reminded him. "Fulfilling your duty is the duty of a minister." Seeing that Jin Ren didn't answer his questions, the old man drank the wine and said, "You can go, and see you in the court next time!"

Jin Ren asked as if in a dream, he didn't remember standing up, let alone how to leave the study.When he came back to his senses, he was walking down the stairs and thinking: Gods are so cruel, maybe this is the last time he treats me as a nephew, and I treat him as an uncle.

Upstairs, Jin Yuxin threw down the empty wine glass, and the ceramic wine glass bounced twice on the carpeted floor and stopped moving.The secret door next to the fireplace opened, and Jin Famin came out from inside: "Aweng!" He said to Jin Yuxin in private.

"Chunqiu is always smarter than me!" The old man sighed dejectedly: "He took a step ahead and left me alone, but he left me the problem of you two brothers! Doesn't he know that I, Jin Yuxin, also watched Did you two grow up? At that time, I was riding a horse, and you and Renshou sat in front of me and the other behind me. There was no difference between them. Now you want me to help you and deal with him. It's too hard to be human, Renshou is also my younger sister's own flesh and blood!"

Seeing the old man's painful expression, Jin Famin was at a loss for a moment. In fact, he had a good relationship with Jin Renwen. After all, Jin Renwen was a hostage in Datang most of the time, and actually quit very early. The competition for the throne, on the contrary, after leading the army to destroy Baekje, the emperor of Tang Dynasty gave him great rewards and promotions, and Jin Chunqiu died again, which on the contrary formed a certain threat to his throne.

Jin Famin himself also knows that his brother actually does not have much covetousness for the throne, otherwise he would not have gone to Datang as a hostage at the beginning, but the problem is that the current situation is like this, and it is no longer a matter of the two brothers' wishes alone. , not to mention anything else, does the love and reuse of Jin Renwen by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty mean that he can use it as a second hand to deal with Silla?In this game of power, most people are just pawns who can't help themselves, and only a few are chess players. Jin Renwen and his true thoughts are actually not important at all.

"Forget it, it's all fate, it's fate destined by God!" Jin Yuxin sighed: "Famin, Quangai Suwen is dead, Goguryeo can't survive this time, if we don't do well, the next It's us, you understand?"

"Aweng, do you mean that the people of Tang are going to attack us?" Jin Famin's voice trembled.

"Well!" Jin Yuxin's old face was like a dead tree: "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking! The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden! This is the way in this world! Goguryeo is alive, we Silla don't have to worry, and Goguryeo is gone. The Tang people will attack us."

"Then, what should we do then? Form an alliance with the Goguryeo people to deal with the Tang people?" Jin Famin asked.

"It's too late now, Quangai Suwen is dead, Goguryeo can't survive, and we can't save him!" Jin Yuxin sighed: "But this is a very good opportunity for us!"

"What do you mean?" Jin Famin asked.

"The people of Tang joined us in the conquest of Baekje in order to pinch the Goguryeo people from the north and the south. Since they sent troops to conquer Goguryeo this time, their Xiongjin Governor's Mansion must also send troops. As a result, its defense must be empty!"

"You mean to take advantage of the opportunity of the Tang people to attack Goguryeo to seize the old place of Baekje?" Jin Famin asked in surprise.

"That's right! Xiongjin Governor's Mansion is surrounded by our country on three sides, and faces the sea on one side!" Jin Yuxin stretched out his finger and drew on the table: "If the Tang people want to use troops against us, they can directly point at the heart of our country, which is really a big problem. And If it is annexed, it can be defended according to the Han River, and at the same time divide the troops to unite with the rest of Goguryeo, the Mohe people, and fight against the Tang people!"

Hearing what Jin Yuxin said, Jin Famin was speechless for a moment. Jin Yuxin's plan was indeed extremely grand. At that time, the northern border of Silla had already crossed the Han River Basin and occupied the most fertile agricultural area on the Korean peninsula. Surrounding Baekje on three sides, if the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion is annexed, a complete defensive posture will be formed. Even with Tang's national strength, the distance from Yingzhou to its heartland is nearly a thousand miles away. Considering the military technical conditions at that time Watching is hard to get over.Under the premise of local security, the Silla people can send people to win over the rest of Goguryeo and the Mohe people to maintain a proxy war with Datang; and if the status quo is maintained, the Tang people can send an expeditionary force from Shandong to land at the old place of Baekje at any time. Then unite the local Baekje people to conquer Silla, and the situation can be described as one world and one ground.

"Yes, but if you do this, wouldn't you be tearing yourself apart from the people of Tang?" Jin Famin said in a low voice, "Turks, Tie Le, and Xue Yantuo are not far away!"

"What are you afraid of tearing your face? At most, if you win the battle, send an envoy to plead guilty, and just give the people of Tang a face!" Jin Yuxin said coldly: "If you don't pull out the nail of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion first, you and I will have trouble sleeping and eating. Ann!"

Jin Famin nodded slowly. What Jin Yuxin said hit his mind. Silla and Baekje have fought for hundreds of years, and the mutual jealousy has been deeply rooted in their bones. Only by completely eliminating the other party can we get real Safety.

"I understand, I will do as Aon told me!"

——————————————————————————————

Early spring in 668 AD.

On a cold morning with a northerly wind, the first Japanese reinforcements arrived at Sibi City from Chikushi in Kitakyushu, with a total of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.The sharp spear tip blinked in the pale sunlight.The marching drum is slow and heavy, as if it is beating on everyone's heart.

Gui Shiyun is on the city wall, accompanied by Ah Cheng, using the binoculars Wang Wenzuo just made to observe the approaching army.Heitoothed Changzhi led the army, and beside him were his three sons, who rode side by side on horseback, flying above their heads a white flag with a red border.Ah Cheng said that these people were almost all Ainu people, with the blood of Mohe people flowing in their bodies. However, in Gui Shiyun's view, these people were really different from the Japanese soldiers brought by Fuyu Fengzhang last time. They are taller and taller, with a fierce expression, thick beards on their faces, and shoulder-length hair. Many of them are wrapped in various animal skin coats.

She knew that this was only the first batch of troops, and after the rice in the Japanese country was planted, another group of Japanese reinforcements would arrive, the number of which was even larger than this one.Of course, the main force of the Xiongjin Governor’s Mansion is composed of Tang people and Baekje people. Gui Shiyun is full of hope to ride out of the city to see the overcrowded military camp outside the city; to see the market every morning. There are crowds of people in the square; look at the rutted horseshoes.But Ah Cheng didn't allow her to leave the city gate.

"You already have a child in your womb! As a mother, you should think more about the child in your womb." Ah Cheng said.

"I can walk! Even if I can't ride a horse, I can still take a sedan chair!" Gui Shiyun argued.

"Help me! Miss, don't be childish!" Ah Cheng said loudly, "Do you know who is outside the city walls? Those barbarians from afar dare to do anything? Just two days ago, a Mohe Someone cut another man's neck in a tavern for spitting on him! That Mohe man was only 14 years old, half a child! If I allow you to put yourself in danger, Dudu Wang will skin me! "When he said this, Ah Cheng was like a mother, and Gui Shiyun knew that there was no room for maneuver.

Perhaps it was because of Gui Shiyun's gloomy expression. The next day, Wang Wenzuo sent a small gift—a binoculars. On the surface, it looks like a short bronze stick made of exquisite craftsmanship, but when you put one end close to your eyes , Rotate the short stick, you can change the scene from a long distance into your eyes.This was simply magic, and Gui Shiyun's depression was immediately thrown out of the blue.

"I hope you like it!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and handed over the exquisite box: "With this thing, you can see clearly without going out of the city."

"I like it very much!" Gui Shiyun nodded excitedly: "How did this happen? Is it magic?"

"It's not magic, it's physics, optics! The optical axis of two convex lenses..." Wang Wenzuo just said a few words, and realized that he was probably wasting his efforts in vain. It can be regarded as a kind of magic, but don't lose it or break it. It is still very laborious to make this thing. It takes a long time for more than a dozen craftsmen to make it. The lens can only be made of natural crystal, so it is very expensive! "

"Don't worry, I'll be careful!" Gui Shiyun nodded, she didn't understand what Wang Wenzuo meant, how could such a treasure not be expensive?Even if it is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there will not be too many, right?

"That's good!" Wang Wenzuo hesitated: "But there is no need to be too careful. In two or three years, this should not be unusual!"

"In two or three years? What do you mean?"

"A simple human-powered lathe is already in trial production. With that, it will be much faster to polish the lens! The remaining problem is the glass! This time may be longer, but it should be enough for two or three years!"

Gui Shiyun nodded blankly. She understood every word Wang Wenzuo said, but she didn't know what it meant when it was connected. However, she remembered something Ah Cheng said during the day: "By the way, I listened to Ah Cheng during the day. Said a Mohe kid killed someone because someone spit on him!"

"There is such a thing!" Wang Wenzuo showed a wry smile: "Unexpectedly, you also know, Ah Cheng told you?"

"Yeah!" Gui Shiyun nodded: "These Mohe people are too scary, they just kill people casually when they are still children!"

"Things are not all what you think!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Those Mohe children were bought by Shen Faseng from Fuchuji Town. They will receive two or three years of training in Dinglin Temple and then become my guards. No, actually They are now my guards, have you seen those half-grown children who are guarding in front of the hall outside me? That Mohe boy was one of them!"

"Is that the case?" Gui Shiyun covered her mouth in surprise, she regretted what she said just now: "Sanlang, what are you going to do with that Mohe child?"

"I don't know yet!" Wang Wenzuo shook his head: "Those Mohe children used to live in the mountains and forests. Many people thought that the Mohe people were barbarians, capricious and lawless. But in fact, this is wrong. The Mohe people may drink blood like hair. , but they also have their own rules. For example, Mohe people seldom swear, let alone spit. This kind of behavior will be severely whipped and even expelled from the tribe; A bloody incident, or even an armed conflict, between the tribes is likely."

"You mean that the Mohe man did this for a reason?" Gui Shiyun asked.

"Yes, but that's not the reason why he can kill people. After all, this is Sibi City, not the woods of his hometown!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "I plan to try this matter myself in two days!"

"Sanlang, are you interrogating yourself?" Gui Shiyun was taken aback: "Is there no need for such trivial matters?"

"This is no small matter!" Wang Wenzuo shook his head: "With the development of my career, there will only be more and more soldiers under my command. They come from various ethnic groups and have their own customs. If fair and clear rules cannot be formulated, You don’t need the enemy to fight, you have already started fighting yourself. I hope to set a good precedent and serve as a lesson for the latecomers!”

"Boy, didn't I tell you not to do stupid things? The instructor shook his head in disgust. "I had high hopes for you, but this turned out to be the case!"You really let me down! "

Acton lowered his head and looked at his toes. He could feel the anger of the old warrior who was teaching him a lesson. He was right, he was really stupid, but what could he do?As a man, how can he tolerate others insulting himself like this, even if his chin has not grown a beard, he can't tolerate others doing this!Insults can only be washed away with blood - one's own or the enemy's.
