The first thousand and forty-two chapters Cai Bochai envoy to Japan
Cai Boyi is not as casual and decisive as Su Wu. He is nervous and hesitant to go on the road. He is not a person who can sacrifice his life and blood for the country of Song Dynasty. His essence is a businessman.
Zhao Zhen can see clearly about this point. Businessmen are both timid and brave, conservative and love to take advantage of the situation. This group is sometimes a contradictory existence, and Cai Boyi is a typical example.
Therefore, his business was the best in the Song Dynasty, and even in the Liao Dynasty, he did not lack a place for Cai Ji.
How could a shrewd businessman make jokes about his life? This is due to Cai Boyi's gambler spirit. There is no way. He always likes this gambler spirit and remembers Zhao Zhen's words in his heart.
"If there is one tenth of the profit, capital can be guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is two tenth of the profit, capital will run by itself; if there is half of the profit, merchants will take risks; for the sake of double the profit, merchants will dare to trample on all human laws; if there is three times the profit, merchants will dare to commit any crime or even risk death."
Now Cai Boyi is taking great risks for the three times, no, a hundred times the "profit", and may even be killed directly by the Japanese! But Cai Boyi used his careful mind to think that the danger of the Japanese killing themselves is far less than the rewards he gets, and at the same time he also feels that the Japanese will not kill him.
The Japanese were scared by the Heavenly Army of the Song Dynasty. The powerful military power stood outside the Ping'anjing like Mount Tai. As long as they didn't go back for a day, the army would not dare to leave. Who are they? The son-in-law of the Song Dynasty! The emperor's companion! The fortune envoy of the Jingji Road!
Although it is not a top-notch existence in literary resources, it is still a close minister of the emperor! Once he was killed in Japan, he could bear the anger of the Song Dynasty, even if the anger was just "burning" not far away.
After moving his body, Cai Boyi turned around slightly, but a pain came from his butt. The Japanese bow and arrow were very strange, very different from the bow and other bows. It was more than two meters long. Moreover, the upper arc of the bow accounts for two-thirds of the total length of the bow. In other words, the standard of the bow is "long at the top and short at the bottom", which is asymmetric at all!
But this asymmetry greatly increases the power of the bow. This is different from the bow and the bows of the Song and Liao dynasties. The biggest difference is its type. This thing is not a composite bow, but a single bow. It can shoot out the flat and wide arrows like a dagger, and some arrows are even slit...
When it comes to the bow, the asymmetric shape is the golden ratio. It is precisely because of this that heavier arrows can be borne, and the route is straighter and will not deviate from the target.
The Song Dynasty's investigation is not something that can be covered. It only takes a few arrows and bows on the battlefield to reveal the mystery. Therefore, Cai Boyi's butt was injured. His butt was shot at close range by the Japanese archers. In order to "take care of" this general of the Song Dynasty, the archers used extremely sharp armor-breaking arrows.
Cai Boyi looked at it and found that the shape and style of the armor-breaking arrow were completely from the shape of the arrow clusters of the Song Dynasty, and the workmanship was more meticulous. He had to admit that the Japanese were very good at making things fine. God knew how long they used a small hammer to beat the arrow clusters to brighten, and the snowflake pattern was faintly revealed...
The craftsmen in the army said that this thing is just a waste, because if you use this kind of thing on the battlefield, you can't afford it at all. The reason is that it is too high.
There are countless arrow clusters produced in the Song Dynasty every day. They are all made of iron. They can be formed at one time, and they are almost exactly the same. The Japanese arrow clusters still need to be beaten. How much manpower and material resources does it take?
But he had to admit that the Japanese arrow cluster could indeed penetrate Cai Boyi's strong armor at close range, which made Cai Boyi very depressed. The armor on his body made him the target of public criticism. At the end of the battle, he was like a hedgehog. Many arrow branches penetrated the armor, but they were stuck by the diamond pattern on the armor, and there were no diamond pattern on his butt...
"It may be not dangerous to go to Heian Kyo this time!"
Cai Boyi's words calmed down a little. To be honest, he thought that the master returned to Kyoto, Japan, to be honest, and he was seeking death. He just escaped from the Japanese siege and is going back now. Isn't it a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? But why did the master say it's not dangerous?
Cai Boqi smiled, not knowing whether it was to comfort Cai Shi or to comfort himself: "Maybe they will receive hospitality after entering Heianjing. We are the envoys of the Song Dynasty, with the ceremonial guards given by the government, which means we represent the Song Dynasty... Don't talk to Cai Shi for now, Master, I know what you are going to say. Now it's different from the previous one. If we win, we will have the capital. This capital is very large, so big that the emperor of the Japanese dare not act rashly!"
Cai Shi didn't understand it very much, but he knew that what the master said was right. He was the most proficient in business and would never joke about his life. In this way, he felt relieved.
When we arrived at the gate of Heian Kyo, the bombed gate was still in pieces, but half of the door panel that had originally dropped on the ground had been dragged away, but the black marks of the explosion of gunpowder were still difficult to wipe off.
After seeing the envoys' ceremonial guards fought by Cai Boyi, the Japanese guards stood there blankly, just like him, and the guards of the entire city gate were very grand and majestic. However, the Japanese thought that the envoys of the Song Dynasty were a fool?
Both sides were sending each other at the gate of the city, and neither spoke first. The Japanese who reacted immediately sent someone to inform His Majesty of the Emperor and Guan Bai of this "weird" situation...
……………………
Dentale looked at Cai Boyi in front of him with a smile, but he was shocked under his smile. However, not only he was alone, but even Master Fujiwara was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he heard the news. To be honest, this was the first time that Aentale saw Master Fujiwara like this.
"Angel, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
Dunry's smile was filled with helplessness and fear, so that he himself did not feel a trace of trembling in his voice. The Taoist Fujiwara, who was beside him, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is talking about the Great Song Dynasty angel..."
"Your Majesty, I am an envoy of the Song Dynasty. If you cannot fulfill Your Majesty's explanation, how can you be worthy of my Emperor's Emperor? This is to be loyal to Your Majesty. I dare not not come without my job!"
Cai Boyi completely ignored Master Fujiwara who was standing beside him, and also ignored Abe Okada who was frowning, as if in his eyes these people were all irrelevant people.
