Chapter 0992 - The Situation in the Far West
"Students can try, but if they succeed or not, students dare not speak ......"
Wang Anshi was finally persuaded by Kou Ji, but he just hung his head and swallowed, which made Kou Ji look uncomfortable.
"What's the difficulty?"
Kou Ji asked.
Wang Anshi raised his head and said bluntly: "Students can't do such a big thing alone. ”
Kou Ji chuckled, "Then it's okay to count Zeng Gong." You and Zeng Gong have both followed the new learning, and have comprehended some of the true meaning of heaven and earth, and if you delve into the old learning, I am afraid that you will have a heart of neglect.
Zeng Gong is good at books, and he is good at annotating books.
Having him behind the scenes will help you find out the commonalities between Western learning and Confucianism, which will make it easier for you to act. ”
Wang Anshi heard that Kou Ji was willing to let Zeng Gong come forward to help him, and he felt a little more confident in his heart, "Although Sima Junshi is unbearable, he also has some talents, and if he is put in the right place, he can come in handy...... Su Shi has a splendid belly, although he is young, as long as he is trained a little, he will definitely become a big help for students in the future. ”
Kou Ji patted the armrest of the chair and laughed: "Your eyes are vicious, except for you and Zeng Gong, Su Shi is the most outstanding."
There will inevitably be something to be done in the future.
I am very pleased that you can value him, which shows that you have a good eye for choosing people.
But I won't say yes.
I'll keep him useful. ”
"Where's Sima Junshi?"
Kou Ji rejected Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi was not disappointed, he knew that Su Shi was young, and Kou Ji would inevitably protect one or two.
It's just that Kou Ji only mentioned Su Shi, but not Sima Guang, he was a little surprised.
In Wang Anshi's eyes, although Sima Guang has flaws in his character, he still has talents and means.
If you use it well, it is also a murderous weapon.
Kou Ji saw that Wang Anshi seemed to want to use Sima Guang, so he stared straight at Wang Anshi and said seriously: "You and Zeng Gong both know that I don't like this person."
It stands to reason that I, as a prime minister, have lost my identity by scheming with a civilian boy.
But this person has great flaws, and he deliberately befriends you and Zeng Gong, and the plot is bound to be not small.
I don't object to young people having ambitions, but I don't like people who have ambitions that don't stick to them.
If you want to use this person, he should be wholeheartedly helpful to you, and he will even gain your trust.
But once he replaces you as the leader of the new school, there is a good chance that he will overthrow the new school and let all your hard work go to waste. ”
Wang Anshi looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, he felt that Kou Ji was obviously a little worried.
But he didn't know that Kou Ji didn't think much about it, because Sima Guang did it in the history books.
"Sir, if a student dares to use this person, he will have the means to control this person."
Seeing Wang Anshi's promise, Kou Ji nodded and said, "If you have the confidence to control him, then it's up to you." The only thing I can warn you about is that this person is available, but don't give up your high position to him. ”
Wang Anshi didn't understand why Kou Ji repeatedly reminded himself that Sima Guang would betray, but Kou Ji had the ability to recognize people, and since Kou Ji asserted that Sima Guang would be a repeat person, he really had to pay more attention.
"Students understand ......"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Since you have agreed to this, then there are some things I can tell you directly." Fifteen days later, the books of Da Shi will be transported to Bianjing City, and they will definitely attract the attention of 10,000 people.
After the books are transported back to Bianjing, they will be temporarily stored in the Tiansheng Pavilion.
I have prepared some readers who are proficient in the big food literature, and you take them to sort the big food books.
Do not burn all books on denominations.
Books on witchcraft that were based on the flesh and blood of people were also burned.
Not a single page can be left. ”
"Hex?"
Wang Anshi was a little stunned.
Kou Ji nodded and said solemnly: "There are some demons in my Great Song Dynasty, who bewitch the folk wealthy clan to use children's henchmen as medicine in order to live forever.
The demons in the West have concocted similar hexification.
In order to prevent someone from publicizing it and causing harm to the world, it must be burned completely. ”
Wang Anshi nodded solemnly and said, "Such a demon art should indeed be burned." ”
Wang Anshi also became an atheist after studying the principles of heaven and earth in the West and the principles of heaven and earth taught by Kou Ji.
He firmly believes that there are no gods and Buddhas in the world, and naturally he will not believe in any immortal life.
The witchcraft that uses the human body as a guide is naturally heretical in his eyes, and he can't tolerate it in his heart.
"It is better to burn one more book than to reveal a page ......"
"Students know what matters."
After getting Wang Anshi's promise, Kou Ji nodded and said, "After you have sorted all the books, I will send a group of craftsmen over to inscribe and reprint those books."
After the reprint is completed, the reprinted books will remain in the Heavenly Saint Hall.
I'll send my hometown to Korea. ”
Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Why didn't Mr. leave his original hometown?" ”
Kou Ji smiled and asked, "If the official family, or the successor of the official family, orders them to be burned, can you stop them?" I sent them to the land of Korea, and made a rule that as long as my children and grandchildren were in control of the land, they would not be in any danger.
In the future, I will set up a huge library in Korea.
It will include not only the Great Food books, but also the Great Song Dynasty books.
I will try to include all the knowledge in the world.
Leave a cultural context for my Song people. ”
Wang Anshi's brows furrowed even tighter, "Sir is going to follow the sage's collection of books?" Mr. is not optimistic about today's Great Song? ”
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "The current Great Song was created by me, how can I not be optimistic about it?" It is now at the peak of spring and autumn, but what about hundreds of years later?
There is a way that is the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and we can't leave the context in one place.
It can't be allowed to break the inheritance. ”
Wang Anshi nodded thoughtfully.
Kou Ji didn't say anything more, and sent Wang Anshi to find Zeng Gong and Sima Guang first.
Fifteen days later.
A group of Dashi cultists and Black Khan people, as well as some fellow Zhenxi troops, escorted the remaining two-thirds of the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Hall and arrived in Bianjing City.
Before people entered the boundary of Bianjing City, they were surrounded by the people and scholars of Bianjing City and Kaifeng Mansion.
The cultists of the Great Food and the Black Sweat people traveled long distances, braving the wind and snow, so they didn't look very good.
The people and scholars looked at their shabby energy, and their hearts were not only curious, but also a trace of contempt.
They unabashedly pointed at the Great Eaters and the Black Khans.
If it weren't for the restraint of the fellow Zhenxi Army soldiers, they might have rushed up to open people's mouths and study it carefully.
Of course, not all Great Food Cultists and Black Khans are unwelcome.
Some of the female cultivators in their ranks, as well as some orchids from the Black Khanate, are still very popular with scholars.
Readers are eager to see the true face of the nun under the veil, and they also want to entangle with the slender orchid.
Although the nuns were veiled, their pure eyes were very attractive, and many scholars couldn't move their steps when they saw it.
When the scholars and the common people gathered in the line of delivering books all the way to Bianjing.
The scholars have already negotiated the price of the Big Eater Girl and the Orchid.
The nun who still holds the pipa and half-covers her face is far more valuable than those sultry orchids.
It's worth twice as much as those orchids.
The team transporting the books arrived at the gate of Bianjing City and was stopped by the doctors and Confucians of the Taiyi Academy and the Guozi Academy.
The great Confucian and the doctors relied on their identities to check those big food books.
However, the officers and men of the Zhenxi Army refused the request of the Great Confucian and the Doctors for the sake of their duties.
The Great Confucianism and the Doctors stepped forward with their necks stalked, pointed at the noses of the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army, and asked the Zhenxi Army to cut them off.
The Zhenxi Army did not dare.
The great Confucians and the doctors have to inch in.
It is necessary to forcibly take the big food books.
What's more, the readers were summoned to burn the big food books on the spot.
In the end, Wang Anshi went to the Tiansheng Pavilion and invited a very old Confucian to scold a group of people away.
But after the great Confucian and the doctor left the convoy escorting the books, they blocked the gate of Bianjing City.
Vowed not to let the big food books enter the Bianjing City.
Wang Anshi had to take the Zhenxi Army, the Great Cannibals, and the Black Khan to transport the books to the Tiansheng Pavilion.
The Celestial Sacred Pavilion is now a base for pure academic research.
The great Confucians and doctors in it have far more than a struggle for doctrine.
They don't care at all about the provenance of the Big Food books.
They only care whether Da Shi is a sage like the Chinese sages, and whether he has left a holy book like the Analects.
Is there any merit in it, and can it be used to improve one's own knowledge?
Facts have proved that true university scholars are pure when they do their studies.
They care about learning, they don't care about portals, and they don't care about the impact of new learning.
But there are only a handful of truly pure university scholars.
Most people who do learning will still be bound by the world, and the world is more important than learning.
In order to carry forward their own doctrines, some people not only cannot tolerate other theories, but will also use all means to strangle other theories.
After the books of the Great Food entered the Tiansheng Pavilion, they were protected by a group of Confucians who were old, highly qualified, and famous, and it was not easy for the major scholars and folk scholars to make mistakes.
Those great Confucians in the Tiansheng Pavilion are all ancestor-level figures, plus they have successively compiled the "Tiansheng Dictionary", "Tiansheng Dictionary", "Tiansheng Rhyme Foot New Theory" and other holy scriptures that are famous through the ages.
Their fame has long since reached a new level.
If the scholars of the major countries and the people go to trouble them, they are humiliating themselves.
With them guarded, no one dared to look for trouble.
Therefore, the scholars in Bianjing City could only get together in groups to discuss this matter.
Gradually, big food books have become a topic that must be discussed by readers.
Many scholars want to see it as it really is, and to criticize it while studying Western learning.
But the Heavenly Saint Pavilion didn't mean to open those big food books, so they could only get over their mouths, and by the way, they were worried about those nuns and orchids.
When Wang Anshi's scholars in Bianjing City were thinking about the big food books, he took two big cannibals and some big food books and hurried to the bamboo courtyard where Kou Ji lived.
Kou Ji's eyes were instantly attracted by the big food book presented by Wang Anshi, and he didn't look at the two big cannibals kneeling at his feet at all.
Kou Ji quickly took the big food book from Wang Anshi's hand, and after looking through it carefully, he said with a shocked face: "Parchment roll? And human skin rolls? ”
Wang Anshi nodded solemnly and said, "The student finally understands why Mr. is hiding his hometown." It is too cruel to use human skin as a book, and people all over the world will never tolerate it.
After this matter spreads, the knowledge of Da Shi will definitely be regarded as a demon book by the world's readers. ”
Kou Ji didn't seem to hear Wang Anshi's words, and after he carefully groped for the parchment scroll and the human skin scroll, he stared at the two big cannibals kneeling under the horns in disbelief: "Has your Khan King captured Baghdad?" ”
Previously, Gargamel's big food books were printed, and almost all of them were wire-bound books.
The printing technology was also provided by Koji.
Now Gargamel is sending parchment and human skin.
Gargamel, with his control of the printing technology, could not have copied the books in the Baghdad Hall of Wisdom in parchment and human skin.
So the parchment scroll and the human skin scroll are clearly the original, or the origin.
Manuscripts and origins are not measured by transcriptions.
Gargamel's ability to get the manuscript and his origin suggests that he is likely to be in control of Baghdad.
According to Koji's estimate of Gargamel's strength, he didn't have the power to stay in Baghdad.
That's why Kou Ji was full of disbelief.
One of the two great cannibals is a familiar acquaintance with Koji, and he is Gargamel's old servant Hatuk.
Old Hatuk was so old that there were already four or five teeth left, and the age spots on his face were clearly visible.
But he's still running for Gargamel.
Hearing Kou Ji's question, he bowed to Kou Ji reverently and said: "Honorable divine envoy, the great Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, our king has formed an alliance with Nizam Mulek, the Minister of the Seljuk Empire, and after obtaining the printing press, Nizam Mulek, the Minister of the Seljuk Empire, generously handed over all the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Hall to my king, and left the printed version himself, which was stored in the Niezemia University he established.
My king knew how much the noble oracle valued these books, so he had your servant Hatuk bring them to you in their original form. ”
After listening to Old Hatuk's words, Kou Ji was stunned for a long time, and carefully searched the few Western historical knowledge in his mind.
Eventually, the name of Nizam Mulek was found.
After the two phases were verified, I knew that what the old Hatuk said was true.
The current Prime Minister of the Seljuk Empire is indeed Nizam Mullek, but he founded the University of Nitzemia, which seems to have been nearly twenty years earlier.
Even the Seljuk Empire settled in Baghdad more than twenty years earlier.
But the thought of his appearance changed the fate of Gargamel, and also indirectly affected the fate of the West.
He can understand the change in the political situation in Baghdad.
It's just that Gargamel and the Seljuk Empire are allied, isn't it a bit of a conspiracy with the tiger?
The two sides are adversaries.
After the Abbasid breakup, Baghdad was surrounded by mighty people.
The Abbasid caliph, the top decision-maker of the Abbasid dynasty who lived in Baghdad, also became a nominal decision-maker.
The Seljuk Empire is one of the more powerful ones.
Its top decision-maker, Sultan Malikshah, is also a masterpiece.
With such a figure in Baghdad, it is impossible for Gargamel to take back control of Baghdad.
Unless......
Koji looked at Old Hatuk, "Maliksha's entry into Baghdad was proposed by the Black Khan King Gargamel, right?" ”
Hatuk looked at Koji in amazement.
Koji sneered, "Gargamel wants to use the strong troops under Malekosha to clear up the chaos of the current Abbasian Dynasty, and then overthrow Malekosha and restore the Abbasian Dynasty, right?"
He must have thought of secretly growing up while the soldiers of Marikosha and the other empires of the Abbas, as well as the smaller nations, were consuming each other.
When the men of Marikosha and several other empires and small countries are almost exhausted, he will stand up and sweep in one fell swoop, right? ”
Hatuk hung his head, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Kou Ji snorted coldly, "The method of killing people with a knife is not bad. He himself could not brutally purge the Abbasid traitors, so he acted by the hand of Malikosha.
But as far as I know, Maricosha is not a soft persimmon.
He's not afraid of cracking his teeth? ”
Hatuk buried his head between his legs and said nothing.
Koji stared at Hatuk and snorted, "Still hiding it from me? Do you think if you don't say it, I won't be able to find out? ”
Hatuk hesitated and said in a low voice: "Don't dare to deceive the oracle, Maliksha is indeed a great sultan. My king alone is certainly not his opponent.
But the three princes of your kingdom, as well as the great lord of the Western Tianzhu, have promised to help my king. ”
"Lord of the West Tianzhu? In this way, Yuanshan has already established a firm foothold in Tianzhu? And shared Tianzhu with the lord of East Tianzhu? ”
Kou Ji muttered to himself, bowed his head and pondered.
After a while, he raised his head, stared at Hatuk and said, "I'm afraid those henchmen and horses in their hands are not the opponents of the Seljuk Empire, and the servant army is also overwhelmed.
Whether it is Li Zhaoliang or Zhu Neng, it is absolutely impossible to pin his hopes on the servant army.
Neither will the Lord of the East and West Tianzhu.
So they should have picked a group of people from among the slaves and formed a new army.
It's just that the new army wants to come up with combat effectiveness, I'm afraid it will take a while. ”
Wang Anshi said on the side: "Their henchmen should be equivalent to the forbidden army, the newly formed soldiers and horses should be equivalent to the box army, and the servant army should be the people and the township soldiers?" ”
Kou Ji glanced at Wang Anshi, "Such an analogy is not appropriate. In their eyes, the servant army should be the vanguard and rush into battle, the new army should be fighting evil battles, and the elite of the henchmen should be used for decisive victory. ”
Wang Anshi frowned and said: "The servant military students of Western Xia and Liao have met, but they don't have any good equipment, and they don't have much combat power. I think the same is true of the servant army they use in the West.
Therefore, if the servant army goes to charge the battle, it is no different from sending it to death. ”
Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "The purpose of their formation of the servant army is to let the servant army send them to death and consume the enemy. They all fight with cold weapons, so this tactic is still very effective.
In our Great Song Dynasty, they dare not use it.
When they arrived outside the territory, they naturally ran rampant. ”
Wang Anshi was about to open his mouth, but he heard Kou Ji say lightly: "Okay, this is not what you should pay attention to." You just need to organize your books. Those who go to sort, remember to tell them to keep their mouths shut and not to talk nonsense.
Whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will stuff them to Zhu Neng.
I believe that Zhu Neng is very willing to spend a lot of money to buy these Song people who are proficient in the Great Food Literature. ”
Wang Anshi hurriedly closed his mouth, and at the same time threw some thoughts about military affairs out of his mind.
Kou Ji's gaze fell on Old Hatuk again, and said lightly: "You don't have to be afraid of me, I don't care what they do in the West."
I just don't like to be kept in the dark, and I don't like to be deceived.
Gargamel, since he has sent you here, and has graciously given me the parchment and human skin rolls, must have asked for something.
Let's talk about it. ”
Old Hatuk hurriedly looked up, and was about to speak, when he heard Kou Ji add again, "Don't think about firearms." Firearms are the capital of my Great Song Dynasty. It is impossible for my Da Song to hand it over easily.
If they are willing to hand over the most fertile and rich places in the West to my Great Song Dynasty, I can consider it. ”
Old Hatuk tilted his head, stared at Kou Ji, and said with a dry smile: "Honorable oracle, you are laughing. Whether it is my king, or several noble His Royal Highnesses of the Great Song Dynasty, they all know that firearms are your lifeblood, and they will not give them easily.
Our king and His Royal Highnesses the princes of the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to covet firearms anymore. ”
Kou Ji smiled and said, "So interesting? But I don't think I can help you other than firearms. ”
Old Hatuk smiled humbly: "The divine envoy is joking, the power of the Great Song Dynasty and the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty far exceed any country that the old servant has ever seen.
My king has many, many things to rely on in the angel of God. ”
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Okay, stop flattering me, just say what you want." ”
Old Hatuk smiled and said, "My king and several His Royal Highnesses of the Great Song Dynasty have said that if the envoys are willing to come to Baghdad in person, they are willing to serve you as caliphs. ”
Kou Ji smiled faintly: "I'm not interested in that position. If I'm interested, I don't need to use them as a stepping stone at all.
If you don't say what you need, then I'll have to send it off. ”
The expression on Old Hatuk's face did not change, he seemed to have known that Kou Ji would answer like this, and he said to Kou Ji: "Since the divine envoy is unwilling, then after the old servant returns, he will truthfully tell my king."
Our king and several royal highnesses of the Great Song Dynasty hope that the Great Song Dynasty can send caravans, preferably a large number of caravans, to their fiefs and territories. ”
When Kou Ji heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a suspicious expression: "As far as I know, the merchants in their fiefs and territories seem to prefer to travel far to do business than us Song people.
It's like you. ”
Old Hatuk smiled and said, "Naturally, my king has servants under his hands. However, several His Royal Highnesses of the Great Song Dynasty did not have suitable servants in their hands.
Those captives and slaves, they can't believe it.
Their henchmen cannot be dismantled.
Therefore, they hoped that the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty could go to their territory and do business directly with them. ”
Kou Ji thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that they have seized a lot of good things in the West. There are so many merchants under his command that they can't transport them.
I can promise this, and when you go back, tell them that my Great Song will then form a caravan to find them.
But they must guarantee the safety of our Great Song caravan.
If my Great Song caravan is damaged, I don't mind leading the troops over in person. ”
