Chapter 405 Some words I don't understand
Because of Xiao Yiner, I made another change in what I had decided on and added 500,000 kilograms of rough iron to the list.
Unexpectedly, after handing the list to the beauty supervisors to handle it, not long after, Dad Lauren called me to his side.
Dad Lauren did not deal with the preparation of Otaru, Sapporo, and Chitose Three Castle in the south in the room, but took me directly to the hill platform where the "Wan Beast Group" in Liuyin Harbour lived. Then he didn't say much for a long time, just looking into the distance, as if thinking about something.
Whenever Dad Lauren thinks about a very profound question, he usually does this, and sometimes he can't speak for a long time.
Usually at this time, when he decides something important, I, a son, can only wait for his thoughts to end.
"Xiaobao, this time you went to the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty. What do you think of these two countries?" After a long time, Dad Lauren asked.
After waiting for so long, he finally spoke, and I was also excited. "The Great Liao Kingdom is very greedy for enjoyment. I feel that it is similar to the ordinary Han people's city. It is no longer the legendary brutal foreigner. It seems to have been assimilated... As for the Great Song Dynasty, prosperity is prosperous, but the military power is really bad except for the navy. Fortunately, the Great Liao Kingdom is not much better. After receiving the filial piety from the Great Song Dynasty, there is no chance of even plundering the Grass Valley. I guess it will be like this peacefully in the next few hundred years."
"You are wrong...If this continues...they..."
I was pricking up my ears and listening to Lao Lao's father refuting my reason, but he had an old problem again. Halfway through his speech, he began to remain silent and murmur again.
Another stick of incense passed, and Dad Lauren asked me again: "Xiaobao, is it a very hateful thing for civilization to be constantly destroyed by barbarism?"
"Of course it's hateful!" I nodded seriously.
"So do you want to save this situation?"
"Me?" I was stunned, "How can I?"
"Haha, there is nothing impossible. If you want, Dad, I can help you."
Seeing that Dad Lauren didn’t look like a joke, I thought about it again and decided to be more steady. “Is it a big trouble to do it specifically?”
“Not either.”
Dad Lauren smiled, "The wheel of history will move forward no matter this way. As long as we add a little force, it will change direction and go to another road... Although we don't know what the result will be, at least for now, it is good for everyone. It can also avoid the brutal and complete destruction of civilization."
"Then...just do it!"
I nodded seriously.
Lao Lauren asked me with a slight head, "Now in the north of the Great Liao Kingdom, which ethnic group is likely to become the next Khitan tribe?"
"Dangxiang? Shiwei? Jurchen? Mongolian? Rakshasa?" I was also smart and directly told the nomadic peoples in the north.
"Haha, you kid, are so cunning." Dad Lauren touched my head, "I won't tell you the specific one... I'll tell you the solution! Your task in the future is to keep giving them alcohol to drink, so that they can develop the habit of alcoholism... As long as they drink heavily, their combat effectiveness will drop sharply. The childbirth of their descendants will also have problems, and the troubles they will face will not be great at that time."
"What ethnic group is it for?" I thought for a while, "The north is so big, can't you give it all, right?"
"Forget the Jurchens first, then Mongolia... Forget it, the Rakshasa clans are not here at all, they are in Europa. You can still use these Rakshasa people, which is a good source of troops." Dad Lauren replied.
"Oh, it turns out that the Jurchens were going to cause trouble first." I immediately understood. "But the Jurchens seem to have a population of less than two million, right? And they are distributed in the Zongduan Mountains and in all corners of Changbai Mountains. How could they defeat the Great Liao and even the Great Song Dynasty?"
After annexing the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and with decades of living and working, the population of the Great Liao Kingdom is about 20 million, and the Song Dynasty is even more. It is said that with the hidden population, it has reached 10 million.
At best, the Jurchen warriors were only 300,000, and there was a lot of hatred between their tribes, especially the large tribes, who had to fight almost as soon as they met. How could they have this ability?
"Haha, you can't imagine that there are too many things to think of. The war is not because of the many people. Otherwise, how could the Song Dynasty lose to the Liao Dynasty?" Lauren's father smiled and shook his head, "'The Jurchens are only tens of thousands, and they are invincible.' This sentence will be very famous in the future."
"Wow! Dad, how do you know so much?" I felt even more impressed. He is a Spanish, so why is he so familiar with the situation here and even familiar with such a slang?
"I'll tell you later." Lao Lao's father wanted to speak, but stopped, "So Xiaobao, your plan to transport rough iron smelting this time is absolutely not good! The Jurchens can now defeat the Khitans. If you give them weapons, wouldn't it be like a tiger and encourage their majesty?"
"Of course I won't give it to them again." I really understand now, "But what if the Jurchens get iron ore from other smuggling merchants in the future and build a powerful army?"
"We will talk about this later. At that time, we can win over some people and then attack some people, so that they will not be unified sooner or later, so that they will naturally be much better." Lao Lauren said, "Don't think of yourself as a savior. You can try to change some things, but don't think that you have to change, do you know?"
"Okay." I nodded in a vague way.
"We cannot rely on our help in other people's destiny, but on our own." Lao Lauren said seriously, "The first thing we need to do is to develop ourselves well. Only when we are strong can we have the ability to help others, do you think?"
"yes."
"Okay, then you understand. Get it clean and you have to set off tomorrow." Seeing my eyes, Dad Lauren smiled heartily again and hugged me with Western understanding. "This time going out is another new test, you have to be careful! Don't let your wives come to cause trouble for me."
"hehe!"
I smiled embarrassedly.
Because Dad Lauren said that in the Western world, there are usually monogamous people. He can tolerate me like this, which is a very tolerant manifestation.
Chapter completed!
