Chapter 1717 Interests
Although he didn't want to admit it, when Zhao Zhen saw the memorial sent by Zhang Zhou, he couldn't calm down.
Of course, war will kill people. This is beyond reproach, and there is nothing to be guilty of. If he had felt guilty, Zhao Zhen would not have become the emperor, nor would he have expanded territory for the Song Dynasty.
What really made Zhao Zhen unable to calm down was his behavior, or the moral standards of later generations still influenced him after so many years.
In fact, the attack on the Khitan was not only putting pressure on the Khitans, but also the continuous testing of weapons by the Song Dynasty. The powerful technology of a country is the main reason, and the advancement of weapons and equipment is also an important force.
The flying fire bomb is the latest firearm in the Song Dynasty. In fact, the principle is very simple, it is just an explosive ejection cartridge. However, this was not proposed by Zhao Zhen, and it did not lead to anything. It was created by the investigative masters of the Song Dynasty.
Leading and creating are not the same thing as creating. Zhao Zhen deeply understands the truth. Now he has led a brand new world for the Song Dynasty, and the science and technology of the Song Dynasty have already been on the right track.
In short, induction, exploration, innovation, and final experiments have fully met the objective laws of scientific exhibitions and are also a basic principle. With these things, the future of the Song Dynasty will be completely different.
Even the entire Chinese civilization will change accordingly. The technology owned by this ancient civilization has always been at the forefront of the world, but the only thing missing is scientific summary and improvement.
Now that I have given all this, the ancient Chinese civilization of the Song Dynasty has been rejuvenated.
But this method has brought this "second spring" China on a different path. Like the flying fire bomb, the plan to use the Khitan as a weapon experiment in the Song Dynasty was also proposed by the court officials of the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, even the gentlemen and ministers in the court did not object. In the eyes of the Han people, the foreign races were all barbarians, and even the Khitan, which was recognized by the Song Dynasty, was no exception.
The superiority and awe of Chinese civilization were released. This feeling of racial superiority will exist no matter which civilization it is, just like a person who has gained powerful power and is arrogant and arrogant.
What's more, the Song Dynasty, which is even stronger and even surpasses the prosperous Tang Dynasty?
The Chinese nation is contradictory in its heart, and even its moral character is sometimes quite contradictory. On the one hand, it advocates that the country of the Celestial Empire should treat the barbarians with courtesy, and on the other hand, it deeply contempts and rejects the barbarians in its heart.
However, the difference is that the former is exposed, while the latter is deeply hidden in the heart and manifested in details. Although it is concealed, it is everywhere.
Zhao Zhen’s inner uneasiness comes from this. The officials of the Song Dynasty have not achieved true equality with foreign tribes until now. Of course, it is already quite good now. The foreign tribes who lived in the Song Dynasty even lived better than the Tang Dynasty.
The inclusiveness of Chinese civilization is also improving with the progress of civilization, and the degree is not slow. Zhao Zhen believes that one day we will be able to achieve a relatively fairness.
But now these are not what he needs to consider, they are just momentary feelings. Zhao Zhen has never been an indecisive person. For the sake of benefits, he will make choices without hesitation. Of course, he will also have his own bottom line and persistence.
The memorial in my hand described in detail the power of the flying fire bullets and the scene at that time. Sure enough, the power of these flying fire bullets was similar to that of later generations, and even the killing effect was exactly the same.
Zhao Zhen put down his memorial, and Sancai posted it up: "Official family, General Zhang sent someone to escort the son of the Khan of the Tatar tribe to come! He intends to submit to our Song Dynasty and obey Wang Hua!"
This was within Zhao Zhen's expectations, and nodded slightly and said, "Come in."
"Sister obeys the order."
Sancai looked at the man in front of him who was full of sweat and curious and felt uncomfortable, and pointed to the eunuch and said, "You can't take him to change his clothes? When the saint meets the saint, you can't afford to be guilty!"
The first time Nazheer wore such comfortable clothes, which was different from cotton and silk, but something in between. The eunuchs of the Song people said this was called silk cotton.
The eunuchs also shook his body with a spoon-like thing, and the strange fragrance surrounded him for a long time. Perhaps this is what the Khitan nobles called incense!
He has been accustomed to the capital city since he arrived. Although he has been here, the capital city has already changed.
Everything in the city made him curious, but this was nothing. The only thing that shocked him was that Shangjing City, under the rule of the Song Dynasty, seemed to be without poverty.
There was not even a beggar in the city. My father Khan said that the Shangjing City was extremely prosperous a few years ago, and it was very prosperous and traded in the Western Regions. It was rich and noble, but there were also many beggars in the city.
At present, not to mention beggars, there are not even a few idle people. Almost all the people in the city are doing their own things. He asked him about the personal soldiers who came to escort him all the way, saying that the young and strong people went to work in the factory, both men and women. As for the children, they naturally went to the academy to study, and the elderly lived their youth at home.
In comparison, the various things in this palace are naturally nothing.
And Nazheer was even more "calm" in all this. If the Tatar tribe could receive such treatment after he joined the Song Dynasty, it would be worth anything and make the tribe happy.
Following the footsteps of the eunuch, the regular entry of the Khitan palaces was already all over the Song Dynasty. My father came here and met the Khitan emperor, but his arrival was to meet the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. I have to say that the dynasty’s heart failure has changed!
A young man who doesn't seem to be very old is sitting in the throne. Zhao Zhen has paid great attention to fitness in recent years. As people get older, things that originally thought are indifferent have become a bond.
But in Nazheer's eyes, Zhao Zhen's appearance as a middle-aged man is a miracle.
"Nazheer, son of the Khan of the Tatar tribe, meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "Get up and talk."
Nazheer only appeared after he stood up. This Emperor of Song was not as hard-blooded, cold, cruel and bloodthirsty as everyone said. On the contrary, he felt that the Emperor of Song was approachable and even spoke kindly.
"I understand your inner entanglement and your uneasiness."
Zhao Zhen's words left Nazheer with nothing to say, because he said casual words in his heart in one sentence. The Song Dynasty is so powerful now, why should he accept the Tatar tribe and let them enjoy the same life as the Song people?
From his expression, Zhao Zhen got his own answer and walked down from the throne that once belonged to the Khitan emperor: "I don't tell you those great principles, nor will I promise you unrealistic promises. I will only tell you one sentence "What interests are related to."
