The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 194: The destruction of money begins

A full three hours passed. Liu Yu processed dozens of memorials and even went out for a walk.

Wang Zhuo, however, still maintained the same posture. The "Basic Concepts of Chemistry" he was holding in his hand had been replaced by "Remembering the Principles of Geometry" and he was fascinated by it.

Obviously, Wang Zhuo didn't realize how long time had passed.

Liu Yu could no longer bear it.

With so many books, if Wang Zhuo were allowed to continue reading here, even three days would not be enough.

"Cough cough!"

"cough,?"

Liu Yu shouted three times before pulling Wang Zhuo out of the book.

"what?"

Wang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then realized what happened.

"Oh, damn it, you are so rude, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"

As Wang Zhuo spoke, he reluctantly put the scroll in his hand back on the table.

He had just browsed "Basic Concepts of Chemistry", "Basic Concepts of Physics for Junior High School" and "Memory of Geometric Principles", and already a huge wave was rolling in his heart!
No collection of classics and history had ever given him such a big shock!

If these books are thoroughly understood, Wang Zhuo feels that anyone can become a 'Master of Neo-Confucianism'.

Such a powerful book would be kept in the family academy of any aristocratic family. Only the most core members of the clan would have the opportunity to read and study it. It would be impossible for an outsider like Wang Zhuo to even take a look at it!

Although Wang Zhuo was reluctant to part with him, Liu Yu was already extremely generous after watching him for so long.

"Sir, you are tired today. Even if you are studying, you need to proceed step by step. Why not stay here for now? You can take these books back and read them slowly!" Liu Yu said with a smile.

"what?"

When Wang Zhuo heard Liu Yu's words, he suddenly exclaimed, his face full of shock and excitement!
"Your Majesty, can I take these books back and continue reading?"

Wang Zhuo's voice was already trembling.

……

Until Wang Zhuo came to the residence arranged by Liu Yu and looked at the table full of books, his excitement still did not calm down.

He couldn't believe that what he encountered was actually real!

"What a wonderful book through the ages!"

"I, an outsider, just looked at it so casually?"

"Why does Your Majesty trust me so much?"

"Can it be said that the person who accepted Ziweixing is really so magnanimous?"

Wang Zhuo was full of doubts, but he began to read and study these books eagerly.

For any ancient person, these introductory books on modern science by Liu Yu would be as difficult as a heavenly book. If no one guides them to get started, they will definitely become more and more confused as they read.

but.

Wang Zhuo is an exception!
No matter how obscure the book is, Wang Zhuo can always find a way to get started.

Although these scientific books by Liu Yu are very unfamiliar to Wang Zhuo, they are not too difficult.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Wang Zhuo walked out of his residence.

At this time, Wang Zhuo had not slept for almost ten hours, but his face was particularly energetic!
"Quick, take me to see His Majesty!"

As soon as he saw Liu Yu, Wang Zhuo came directly to pay his respects.

"What are you doing?" Liu Yu couldn't help but ask when he saw this. Seeing that Wang Zhuo's eyes were red, he had undoubtedly stayed up all night.

Wang Zhuo bowed to Liu Yuna and said: "The books your Majesty gave me made me feel like I was reborn. Now I know that there is such profound knowledge in the world. What I pursued before was just an iceberg." In one corner, Your Majesty is your mentor!"

After that, Wang Zhuo wanted to bow down again.

Of course Liu Yu stopped him, and then asked curiously: "Which books did you read that I gave you yesterday?"

"Your Majesty, after I go back, I will write "Basic Concepts of Chemistry", "Basic Physics Concepts for Junior High School", "Remembering Geometry Principles", "Basic Biological Concepts..."

Facts have proved that Wang Zhuo is very talented in scientific research and practice.

the next few days.

Liu Yu asked Wang Zhuo to study it with concentration. If there was something he didn't understand, he would answer it himself.

If it is particularly advanced, Liu Yu may not be very good at it, but Liu Yu thinks that he is still quite good at these basic concepts.

In this way, Wang Zhuo became the first vice president of the Han Academy of Sciences, responsible for the popularization and research of various subjects.

Liu Yu recruited Wang Zhuo, and he just wanted to lay the foundation of the Han Academy of Sciences. He originally wanted to slowly develop his strength.

but.

The situation in the north changed too quickly, so Liu Yu decided to directly take over the Jurchen Jin Kingdom in one go and completely destroy the Jin Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Jin was constantly under attack by insurrectionary armies from various places and was in a state of severe distress.

In the end, Jin Guo chose to retreat!

Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom led a large number of troops and nobles to leave Yanjing and return north to Shangjing in Heilongjiang.

The Emperor of Jin consecrated Wanyan Zongxian as King of Wei and guarded Liaodong, hoping to contain the Han army.

Since the Jurchens have voluntarily abandoned the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, Liu Yu naturally has no reason not to go north.

In particular, the local tyrants in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures sent an envoy Xiao Yuansheng to surrender on his own initiative, which made Liu Yu determined.

Therefore, Liu Yu felt that the time had come to lead his troops across the sea and attack the Jurchens in Liaodong!

Liu Yu then began to train the army in Yingtian, and at the same time ordered Li Bao and others in Yangzhou to prepare warships and be ready to go out at any time.

There was nothing hidden about the series of actions of the Han army in Jiangbei.

Naturally, Wanyan Zongxian, the King of Jin Wei in Liaodong, soon learned about it.

……

Liaodong, Huanglong City.

Wei Wang Wanyan Zongxian looked at the military intelligence report in his hand, with a hint of worry on his face.

"Everyone, I have received intelligence that the Han bandits in Yingtian are about to make a comeback. Are you confident in defeating the enemy?"

Wanyan Zongxian asked the generals sitting next to him.

Among these generals, except for Lu Baoan, the commander of the navy, they were all new faces who had just appeared in Huanglong Mansion.

Ever since Wanyan Zongxian took the position of the Guardian King of Liaodong, he had gradually developed the ambition to separatist power.

After all, the temptation of power is too great.

then.

Wanyan Zongxian used his connections and a powerful financial offensive to quickly transfer other high-ranking Jurchen officials and replace them with obedient ones.

In order to give himself sufficient military strength, Wanyan Zongxian also thought of two methods.

One is to use the name of the Jin Dynasty to mobilize the White Tatar soldiers from Monan to serve in Liaodong.

The Jin Dynasty refers to the Tatar tribe (Tatar Alliance), which is mainly nomadic in Hulun and west of the Beir Lake.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols were called Black Tartars or Mongolian Tartars, and the Wanggu people (who later became one of the Mongolian tribes) were called White Tartars.These White Tartar soldiers live in difficult conditions and have constant disputes among various tribes, but they have strong combat effectiveness and can even be said to be powerful mercenaries.

However, Bai Ta nominally surrendered to the Jin Kingdom.

Given money and food, these White Tatar soldiers on the grassland came to the Jin Kingdom to help.

Another way.

That is, Wanyan Zongxian increased his efforts to win over the Khitan people who had previously taken refuge with the Yilawowo brothers.

Yilawowo was the leader of the Khitan. After the Khitan accepted the big gold recruitment, he became a member of the Jin Kingdom.

In order to win over Yilawowo, Wanyan Zongxian gave Yilawowo a full 30% of the private salt share in Liaodong. He also recommended Yilawowo to serve as marshal as well, and recommended more than [-] of Yilawowo's subordinates to serve as local governors. Official positions with real power.

With the support of these two groups of soldiers, Wanyan Zongxian gained some confidence.

but.

The Han army's previous attack left Wanyan Zongxian feeling frightened and still a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I've already heard that those Yingtian thieves only number [-] to [-]. They were originally farmers who were too poor to eat. How can they compare to us warriors who fight against our enemies every day!" A dark-faced man said The general said loudly.

This person is Jiang Ying, the general of the Baitar Army. Almost all of these chieftains of Baitar Village use Han surnames and names, but they retain their own living habits.

"That's right, our White Tatar army spans three rivers and six rivers. Even the Zuola Home Division is no match for us. Beating these farmers will not be a problem at all!" Liu Zhen, another general of the White Tatar army, followed up.

This time, the White Tartar army coming from Monan included more than 5 people, all of whom were elites from various tribes.

A tall, white-faced man sitting on the other side smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, Wanyan Zongxian quickly asked with a smile: "Shuai Yi La, are you sure of defeating the Jiangbei rebel navy in Taizhou?"

It turned out that this man was Yilawowo's brother, deputy marshal Yila Dalin.

"Your Majesty, although our Huangjiang Army cannot be said to be invincible, no one dares to claim to be better than us. I haven't paid much attention to this small group of southern Han people!" Yi La Dalin said with a smile.

Yila Dalin did not pay attention to the Han army at all.

With the presence of the Monan White Tartars and the Huangdong-moving Lawowo navy, King Wanyan Zongxian of Wei suddenly felt at ease.

"This way, I, the king, can rest easy!"

"When the Han army sends people to Huanglong again, I will have a good fight with them!"

Wanyan Zongxian said coldly.

Since the last defeat, Yingtian's Han navy has had the upper hand, often even approaching Liaodong.

Now that Wanyan Zongxian had two strong reinforcements, he naturally wanted to regain these losses.

Later, a banquet was held in the Palace of the Prince of Wei. While being served by a group of singers and dancers, Jiang Ying, Liu Zhen and other generals of the White Tartar Army were drunk, and they hugged the women and touched them randomly.

Yila Dalin watched from the side, feeling even more contemptuous of these barbarians from the desert.

Feeling ashamed to have a banquet with them, he casually made an excuse and said goodbye to Wanyan Zongxian.

It was not until the third watch of the night that the banquet hosted by the King of Wei for the generals of the White Tartar Army was over.

Jiang Ying, Liu Zhen and other White Tartar generals each hugged two or three singing girls and returned to their respective military camps with laughter.

After a long period of silence, the White Tartar generals were shirtless again and gathered together to continue drinking and discussing.

"This Liaodong is so good! Even the girls have such fair skin!"

"If I hadn't been tired today, I would have done several more!"

"Haha, be careful to die on a woman's belly from exhaustion!"

……

After some teasing, several White Tartar generals quickly discussed what they had seen today.

"The King of Wei is a good man. He gave us so much money and food. After defeating the Han bandits in Yingtian, I don't even want to go back to the tribe. It's great to be a servant under the King of Wei!"

"These Jurchens are very bad. I think it would be better to finish defeating the Han people and take the remaining money and food and return to the grassland!"

"You are so ignorant. Any city in Liaodong is richer than the best grassland over there. If you can stay in Liaodong for a long time, that would be a great thing!"

"However, I see that Yi La Dalin is very arrogant, as if he looks down on us!"

"He looks down on us, let's find an opportunity to fuck him in the future!"

These generals of the White Tartar Army have always been people who are very happy with grudges. Anyone who looks down on them is regarded as an enemy.

Even among the White Tatars, a small incident can often turn into a feud between the two tribes for generations.

After some discussion, Jiang Ying and Liu Zhen, as leaders, decided on the future strategy with everyone.

They plan to defeat the Han army and find opportunities to occupy one or two cities in Liaodong.

Wanyan Zongxian was forced to let them separatist forces, but in the eyes of the Bai Ta army generals, the entire Liaodong army was a bunch of weaklings.

They were no match for their White Tatar army.

Two days later, Yingtian's Han envoys, on Liu Yu's order, came to Huanglong and submitted a letter of surrender to the Jurchen Jin Kingdom demanding the unconditional surrender of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom.

The person who responded to the angel had a tough attitude and made it clear on the spot that Liu Yu already knew about Wanyan Zongxian's recruitment of troops and wanted Wanyan Zongxian to give up resistance and still save his life.

When Wanyan Zongxian heard this, he was immediately furious.

"I am the King of Jin and Wei, and a descendant of the Green Eagle God of Haidong. How can I surrender to you?"

"King Wei of the Kingdom of Jin, are you starting a war with our Han army?" Xiao Yuansheng had an angry look on his face, as if he had heard something extremely outrageous.

Wanyan Zongxian was also very angry at Ying Angel's overbearing behavior.

"That's enough! I have tolerated you for too long. I'll beat you if you want. Why is there so much nonsense?"

"Han envoy, please go back!"

Wanyan Zongxian waved his hand and directly issued an order to expel the guests.

Xiao Yuansheng didn't want to say anything about Wanyan Zongxian's attitude and immediately threw up his sleeves and left.

The conversation between Wanyan Zongxian and Xiao Yuansheng was extremely outrageous in the eyes of Jiang Ying, Liu Zhen and other White Tartar generals.

"Your Majesty, why did you let him go?" Jiang Ying couldn't help but ask.

"The two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy!" Wanyan Zongxian said with a smile.

"Oh, what kind of rules are these? In our tribe, you can't leave until the enemy's messenger throws a pair of hands!" Jiang Ying said harshly.

Wanyan Zongxian felt a burst of contempt in his heart.

These White Tartar barbarians don’t know anything about martial arts, they are just a bunch of savages!
After defeating the Han army, we must send them back to Monan as soon as possible!

Of course, Wanyan Zongxian still had lingering fears about the strength of the Han army.

That's why we didn't dare to hurt the Han envoys.

Otherwise, let's not talk about it. According to the tradition of the Jin Kingdom, the opponent's head must be cut off to sacrifice the flag.

"Haha, if you kill a mere envoy, you will dirty my sword! I believe it won't be long before the Han army invades. When the time comes, I will have to rely on you all to help me defeat the Yingtian bandits!" Wanyan Zongxian smiled. said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. When the Yingtian thieves come, keep it safe so that they never come back!" Jiang Ying said loudly.

"That's right, we are going to kill every one of them without leaving any chickens or dogs behind!" Liu Zhen said, patting the sword on his waist.

"Okay! Then I look forward to good news from you all!" Wanyan Zongxian laughed and praised the generals of the White Tartar Army again.
