Because of Xiao Yin'er, I changed my decision again and added 500,000 kilograms of crude iron to the list.
What I didn¡¯t expect was that after the list was handed over to the Beauty Supervisors for processing, Dad Lauren called me over not long after.
Father Lauren was not in the room dealing with the preparation of the strategy plan for the three southern cities of Otaru, Sapporo, and Chitose. Instead, he took me directly to the hill platform where the "Ten Thousand Beasts Group" used to live in Liuyin Harbor, and then he He didn't say much for a long time, just looking into the distance, seeming to be thinking about something.
Whenever Lauren¡¯s father is thinking about a very profound question, he usually does this, and sometimes he doesn¡¯t speak for a long time.
Usually at this time, when he decides on something important, as a son, I 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?" Father Lauren asked after a long time.
After waiting for so long, he finally spoke, and I was refreshed. "The Liao Kingdom is very greedy for enjoyment. It feels like an ordinary Han city. It is no longer the ferocious foreigners in the legend. It seems that it has been assimilated. As for the Song Dynasty, it was prosperous, but its military force was really poor except for the navy. Fortunately, the Liao Kingdom was not much better. After accepting the filial piety of the Song Dynasty, it could not even plunder the grass and valleys. The chance is gone. It is estimated that we will continue to coexist peacefully like this for hundreds of years to come."
"You are wrongif this situation continuesthey"
I was straining my ears to hear Lauren's dad refute my reasons, but he fell into his old habits again. Halfway through, the silence and mumbling started again.
After another incense stick passed, Father Lauren asked me again: "Xiaobao, do you think it is a hateful thing that civilization is constantly being destroyed by barbarians?"
"Of course it's hateful!" I nodded seriously.
"So do you want to save this situation?"
"Me?" I was stunned, "How can I do this?"
"Haha, nothing is impossible. If you are willing, dad, I can help you."
Seeing that Lauren¡¯s father didn¡¯t look like he was joking, I thought about it again and decided to play it safe. "Isn't it very troublesome to do it specifically?"
"No way."
Father Lauren smiled, "No matter what happens, the wheel of history will move forward. As long as we apply a little more force, it will change direction and go to another road Although I don't know what the outcome will be, at least in the future For now, it is good for everyone. It can also avoid the barbaric and complete destruction of civilization."
"Thenjust do it!"
I nodded seriously.
Lauren¡¯s dad asked me, chin slightly. "Now in the north of the Liao Kingdom, which ethnic group do you think is most likely to become the next Khitan?"
"Dangxiang? Shiwei? Jurchen? Mongolia? Rakshasa?" I was also smart, so I just mentioned all the nomads in the north.
"Haha, you are such a cunning boy." Father Lauren touched my head, "I won't tell you the details I'll just tell you the solution! Your task from now on is to keep getting Give them wine and let them develop the habit of drinking As long as they become drunk, their combat effectiveness will drop sharply. There will also be problems with the fertility of their offspring, and then they will not face much trouble."
"Which ethnic group is it specifically for?" I thought for a while and said, "The North is so big, we can't give it to everyone, right?"
"First the Jurchens, then the Mongols forget about the Rakshasa clan. They are not here at all, but in Europa. You can still use these Rakshasa people, they are a good source of soldiers." Father Lauren So replied.
"Oh, it turns out that it was the Jurchens who wanted to cause trouble first." I understood immediately. "But the Jurchen tribe seems to have a population of less than two million, right? And they are distributed in every corner of the Zongduan Mountains and Changbai Mountains. How could they defeat the Liao and even the Song Dynasty?"
After annexing the Sixteenth State of Youyun, plus decades of living and working in peace and contentment, the current population of the Liao Kingdom is about 20 million, and the Song Dynasty is even more. It is said that including the hidden population, it has reached as many as 10 million .
The Jurchen tribe has only 300,000 warriors at best, and there is still a lot of hatred between their various tribes, especially the big tribes, who will fight almost every time they meet. How can they have this ability?
"Haha, there are so many things you can't think of. Fighting a war doesn't rely on having more people. Otherwise, how could the Song Dynasty lose to the Liao Kingdom?" Father Lauren smiled and shook his head, "'Jurchens are only ten thousand, over 10,000 Jurchens. "Invincible", this sentence will be?It will be very famous. "
"Wow! Dad, how do you know so much?" I couldn't help but admire him even more. How could he, a Spanish, know so much about the situation here and be familiar with such a slang?
"I'll tell you later." Father Lauren hesitated, "So Xiaobao, your plan to transport crude iron this time is definitely not feasible! The Jurchen tribe can defeat the Khitan tribe now. You If we give them weapons, wouldn¡¯t it be more powerful and increase their prestige?¡±
"Of course I won't give it to them again." I now really understand, "But what if the Jurchen tribe gets iron ore from other smugglers in the future and builds a powerful army?"
"This will have to wait until later. Then we can win over some people and attack some people so that sooner or later they cannot be unified. Then it will naturally be much better." Father Lauren said, "Don't think of yourself as the savior. , you can try to change some things, but never think that you have to change, you know?¡±
"Okay." I nodded in understanding.
"The fate of others cannot be determined by us, but by ourselves." Father Lauren said sternly, "The first thing we have to do is to develop ourselves well. Only when we are strong can we have success." Ability to help others, don¡¯t you think?¡±
"yes."
"Okay, then you understand, just pack up, we have to leave tomorrow." Seeing the look in my eyes, Father Lauren laughed heartily again, and hugged me with Western understanding, "This time Going out is a new test, so you have to be careful! Don't let your wives come to trouble me."
"hehe!"
I smiled sheepishly.
Because Father Lauren said that in the Western world, people are generally monogamous. He can tolerate me like this, which is a very tolerant sign.
