Chapter 12: Becoming illiterate
The next day, the people who continued to train received the good news that Chen Xin had been promoted and transferred to the command of Suna, who had jumped several levels in a row to become a generation son (Note 1). Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It turned out that Suna was finally busy with the task of clearing the Ming army near Shenyang, and remembered Chen Xin's performance that day, so he decided to show favor and promote him, so that he could wear three layers of armor and be fully armed and still be able to run 20 miles. So he used his power to increase the reward for Chen Xin's credit for scaring the Ming army last time, and at the same time sent his own son to read the order.
After announcing the appointment, Chen Xin invited the son of Suna to sit in the house, one of the two sides deliberately flattered, and the other deliberately enveloped, even if there was not even a cup of tea in the room, it could still be said that the guests and hosts were happy.
These so-called nobles in Liaodong used to fish and hunt for a living, and they haven't had a good life for a few years since they followed Nurhachi to fight the world, so they all look old. Looking at Suke Saha with a frosty face in front of him, if it wasn't for the other party saying it himself, Chen Xin couldn't believe that the other party was still an adult.
The two chatted for a while, Suke Saha was a young man in the end, and couldn't help but want to see Chen Xin's skills, whether there was Ama who said so badly, and proposed to try his archery skills.
Chen Xin shirked and said that he did not take advantage of the bow and arrow, Suke Saha deserved to be the grandson of Nurhachi, with a wave of his small hand, the entourage presented 10 bows of various sizes, Chen Xin tried a few casually, and after Lao Bai's calculation, there were from 50 pounds to 200 pounds. (Note 2)
Chen Xin didn't know how to divide the strength of the bow and arrow at this time, but he expected that the 200-pound strong bow should already be extremely powerful, and you must know that the world-famous English longbow in the later world had a bow pull of more than 100 pounds.
Chen Xin recently opened a small stove for himself one after another, and his physical fitness was further strengthened, at this time he was thinking in his heart, "Although my own archery skills are not good, but the 200-pound bow uses light arrows, which can definitely shoot ultra-long range, a rapid fire, and no one will know what I am shooting at that time, there is no risk, this limelight can be out"
Thinking of this, he took an iron wrench with him, took a pot of arrows seemingly at random, a 200-pound strong bow in his hand, stepped out of a chic movement, took a deep breath, and immediately opened his bow and arrows to shoot 30 arrows in a row, only to see that all the arrows flew out at a very fast speed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As Chen Xin expected, Sukh Saha and his entourage were dumbfounded, these 200-pound strong bows, they only showed off, no one has ever been able to use them in actual combat, and today someone was able to shoot the bow continuously, and they were really shocked.
You must know that at this time, the strong bow used by Jin Guobu is generally about 130 pounds, and there are some people who can pull a 200-pound bow, but no one has ever dared to take it to the battlefield, because the bowstring is too hard to pull, and there is no strength if you can't shoot a few arrows on the battlefield.
In the end, of course, the competition was forced by Chen Xin to go over, and sent away one of the four auxiliary ministers during the Kangxi period in the future, Chen Xin was full of emotion, it turned out that this is the feeling of integrating into history, it is amazing, if you don't change history, Suke Saha will be killed in 1667, I came to this era, how many people's fate will be changed?
At this time, the big cat came to Chen Xin with a gift list, handed the gift list to Chen Xin, and asked, "My lord, you know how to read, can you tell me what is written on it?" Otherwise, there is no way to count the gifts. ”
Chen Xin took it casually and said disdainfully, "I usually tell you to learn more Braille, but you don't listen, and now you are blind." But when he turned his gaze to the gift list, he was also dumbfounded, his eyes were full of tadpoles, and now he was embarrassed again, Chen Xin put down the gift list and stared at the big cat.
I asked everyone one by one, and everyone didn't know each other. Chen Xin speculated that it may have been a Manchu script created by Nurhachi in 1599 when he ordered a reference to the Mongol creation.
Tong Laosan sighed, "The Jurchen nobles speak more and more Chinese, and they are still engaged in Manchu, and they are also drunk." This kid felt that some of the words that Chen Xin usually used were very tasteful, and he actually began to learn and use them, and turned a few pages casually and exclaimed, "My lord, in the end, there is actually a Chinese character translation comparison." ”
Chen Xin took a look, and sure enough, there were Chinese characters, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, "Fortunately, there are Chinese characters to compare, otherwise I, an undergraduate graduate from the world in later generations, actually became an illiterate person who couldn't read the gift list at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which is really embarrassing." I secretly thought that in the future, I must let Lao Bai learn all the commonly used languages and scripts of various ethnic groups.
No longer delay, look at the gift list to see the gift.
There are a total of 10 horses, 50 donkeys, cattle, sheep, 10 bows, and four carts of other sundries. Moreover, this Suna also knew that Chen Xin did not have Aha under him, so he temporarily kept donkeys, cows, and sheep in one of his own farms, and waited for Chen Xin to be given a coat of Aha, and then went to take it away.
Chen Xin temporarily put the gift behind him and began to ponder the impact of this promotion on himself.
The original plan was to reap the benefits of the campaign against North Korea in January next year, because history records that Amin is the commander of the blue flag, and there is a great opportunity to provoke internal contradictions in Houjin, so he mixed in the blue flag, but now he has been transferred to the white flag by mistake, and he will attack North Korea next year, is there a share of Suna? I don't remember it at all, Chen Xin sighed that "the book is hated less when it is used".
We have to find a way to inquire about the strength of Suna, the "master" (Note 3) in the future. At the same time, try to get a list of high-ranking officers who will go out to rob North Korea next year.
At this time, Chen Xin realized that he had made a mistake, he did not take the initiative to understand this era at all, and he did not make any friends with the officers of Houjin. Now I want to inquire about things, but except for a few of the big cat's kindred, I can't find a single person available.
Before, he was arrested as a slave and had no personal freedom, but now he has a certain amount of freedom, and he actually forgot that as a modern person, the most important skill - pulling relationships, secretly scolded himself for his mistakes, and was ready to start making amends.
First of all, I don't have much silver, and now is a period of post-gold material scarcity, and the depreciation of silver is very serious.
Ginseng, deer antler velvet and other products are all specialties of the Northeast, and the locals are not rare, so what else can I get and are still very rare? Chen Xin squatted at the entrance of the village and searched around, Liaodong was vast in winter, and the first snow since the beginning of winter fell last night, covering the earth white, and sighed, "How can I, a northwesterner, find something rare in the northeast, or think about the knowledge learned in later generations."
Note 1 generation: military position, Manchu, under the Niu Lu Ezhen, which means the acting person, each Niu Lu has two members.
Note 2 about the bow and arrow pull all use pounds, it is really because the ancient force, jun, stone and other weights and measures are too troublesome to convert, and the Ming Dynasty and Houjin, Mongolia are different, it is easy to make readers dizzy, so all use pounds, like more serious book friends can convert it themselves.
Note 3 Later Jin and the Manchu Qing Dynasty have always been slavery, and there are still some nobles under the banner owner who hold some Niu Lu, and which nobleman Niu Lu is assigned to, he is the master of Niu Lu everyone.
