A few days later, Sun Lei came to the back of the Juyi Hall. At this time, Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, and Xu Guanzhong were still counting the belongings of the mission.
"Why are they all books?"
Sun Lei looked at the open boxes in surprise. He did not open these sealed boxes along the way. Now when he opened them, he saw that they were all books. This made Sun Lei a little confused. The barbarians should not like gold, silver and jewelry the most. What?
"Brother, from the information I got from these credential, it seems that these books were requested by Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom, and Wanyan Aguda also required that the woman he wanted to marry must read poetry and books."
Xu Guanzhong handed several letters of credence to Sun Lei and said that these were typed by the Song Dynasty court for Wanyan Agu, but they were not written by Zhao Ji, but were ghostwritten by ministers. In the eyes of Zhao Ji and others, the Jurchen barbarians were not enough to compete with the Song Dynasty. Dialogue between equals, so the status of the woman getting married is not noble.
"This is really strange. When did the barbarians change their temper and like reading? Are they literate?"
Sun Lei was a little surprised. Although he had imagined that the Jurchens were very powerful, he never thought that a group of "savages" from the mountains would be so eager to learn, which made him feel a little ashamed.
"Brother, the books that the Jurchens want are very targeted. Almost all of them are books on medical skills, agricultural books, craftsmanship, etc. But the strangest thing is that there are also a lot of Buddhist scriptures in them."
Wen Huanzhang pointed to the separated books and said.
"Have the barbarians really changed their temper and become so eager to learn?"
Sun Lei frowned as he looked at those books. He had already thought a lot about Wanyan Aguda, but he didn't expect that this "barbaric" guy had a long-term vision and knew that he should teach the tribesmen to learn knowledge, and it was the barbarians who needed it most. He also wanted to acquire knowledge such as medical skills, agricultural books, and craftsmanship, and also wanted to supplement it with Buddhism.
"Brother, it seems that we all underestimate this newly rising Jurchen Jin Kingdom."
Xiao Jiasui sighed and said, because of Sun Lei, they had already thought a lot about the Jurchens. From the last battle, they could see that the Jurchens had outstanding individual combat capabilities.
Now it seems that that is not all. The Jurchens are not only brave, but also have good vision and wisdom. The threat of this kind of enemy is much higher than that of the ferocious barbarians. After all, they can kill no matter how ferocious they are, but if the ferocious barbarians are still With extremely high intelligence, that is really troublesome.
Now Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, and Xu Guanzhong have no doubts about Sun Lei's statement that the Jurchens can destroy the Liao Kingdom.
"Did you take these things with you?"
Sun Lei looked at those books. These things seemed ordinary, but in fact, their impact was far greater than the shining weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds.
"I'm afraid I can only take it with me. Wanyan Aguda asked for these things by name in his credentials. If he doesn't give them, I'm afraid it won't be credible."
Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, Wanyan Aguda attaches great importance to these books, and if he wants to pretend to be a missionary, he must bring them with him.
"Brother, don't worry too much about this. Knowledge can't be learned and digested in a day or two. No matter how discerning Wanyan Aguda is, he can't stand against the ignorance and uncivilization of the Jurchens. It won't take a day or two to implement this knowledge."
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile that knowledge is not a weapon and cannot be used just by picking it up. After all, the Jurchens of Liaodong are barbarians who have just emerged from the mountains and forests. It is impossible to learn these things for decades or hundreds of years.
"In that case, I will give it to them first. After I rip off their heads, I will burn these books for them and let them learn slowly underground."
Sun Lei smiled and said.
"Brother, the only trouble now is these credentials."
Xu Guanzhong looked at Sun Lei and said, the most troublesome thing about pretending to be a mission this time is the credentials. These things must be tampered with, otherwise the secret will be exposed as soon as they leave.
"credentials?"
Sun Lei then opened the credentials and read them carefully, his brows gradually wrinkled.
"So that's their plan! It's really a bit of a problem, but now that we have Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian, it's not impossible to solve it."
Sun Lei said, since the Bohai Sea was blocked, the sea route to Liaodong was cut off, and the Song Dynasty also had no way to the Jin Kingdom.
But Tong Guan was very smart. After contacting the Liao Kingdom, he found that the Liao Kingdom was beaten and had no power to fight back, so he pretended to persuade the Liao Kingdom to make peace and told the Liao Kingdom that the Song Dynasty was willing to go to the Jin Kingdom to appease the Jurchens. Let both sides stop fighting.
The Liao Kingdom has been really afraid of being beaten in recent years. The Jurchens seem to be invincible. Attacking cities and plundering territories is as easy as destroying dry matter. As soon as they heard that the Song Kingdom wanted to persuade them to make peace, they immediately agreed.
This time the Song Dynasty envoy took advantage of the Liao Kingdom's road to go to the Jin Kingdom, but Liangshan could not take this road. They were a fake mission. The Jurchens may not have seen the Song Dynasty envoy, but they had been dealing with the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. It is impossible not to know the Liao Kingdom. It is too dangerous to pass through the Liao Kingdom.
“Looks like we still have to go by sea!”
Sun Lei finally sighed and said, if you want to reach the Kingdom of Jin safely, you still have to go through the Bohai Sea.
"Call brothers Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian!"
Sun Lei said to Jiao Ting behind him, and soon Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian arrived at Juyi Hall.
"elder brother!"
The two of them clasped their fists at Sun Lei. After treatment, their injuries were all healed.
"Take a look at this, can you imitate it?"
Sun Lei handed several letters of credence to Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian and asked.
"This is the credential, written by Cai Jing! The emperor's seal!"
Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian's expressions changed. They were proficient in calligraphy and seals, and they could tell at a glance that this was no ordinary letter.
"No problem, Cai Jing's font boy can imitate 99% of it!"
Xiao Rang said, Cai Jing is considered a famous calligrapher in the world and has been imitated by countless people. Of course, Xiao Rang has also learned it, so it is not a problem to imitate a calligraphy.
"There's no problem with the seal. It's not difficult to carve it according to the seal!"
Jin Dajian also said that the most important thing about imitating seals is the seal. As long as there is a seal, he can imitate the jade seal.
"Okay, the two brothers will then forge a few letters of credence according to Military Master Xu's request."
Sun Lei nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, brother!"
Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian clasped their fists and nodded.
"Commander, I plan to ask Ma Ling, Shi Qian, and Hu Yanqing to go with you this time. In addition, I will ask Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun to lead a group of people northward along the Yalu River to hide. If the Jurchens have evil intentions, the military counselor can Heading to the Yalu River, Xiao Qi and Zhang Shun will definitely ensure the safety of the military advisor."
Sun Lei looked at Xu Guanzhong and talked about his arrangements. He did not arrange any brothers who could fight this time. He only arranged Ma Ling and Shi Qian who were good at movement and exploration. The other ones were Ruan Xiaoqi and Liang Shanbo who had the best water skills. Zhang Shun.
After all, Liaodong is a land of aliens. If he shows too much strength, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the Jurchens. After all, the mission is only responsible for diplomacy and not conquest.
"Brother, don't worry, little brother will be careful!"
Xu Guanzhong nodded. Sun Lei's arrangement was very good. Hu Yanqing could help him communicate with the Jurchens. Ma Ling and Shi Qian were good at hiding and could be responsible for security, while Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun were the hidden back-up men.
