As the army marched forward, Yang Kang looked greedily at the scenery outside.

The scenery outside is not as beautiful as expected. The further north you go, the more desolate it becomes. You rarely see groups of business travelers or pedestrians on the road, probably because they have been avoided in advance by the arrival of the army.

Sitting in the carriage was not as comfortable as expected, especially after leaving the official road, it was extremely bumpy.

The roads in this era were very crude and could usually be used for horse racing. They were not only full of potholes but also not regular. Sometimes we had to take long detours.

But Yang Kang thinks it's very good, it feels very real.

He once had such an idea in his mind that what he is experiencing now is a reality show broadcast live around the world launched by a large film and television company with the entire Zhongdu City as the background. Everyone in Zhongdu City is an actor, and

He is the only protagonist in it.

This kind of plot appeared in "The Truman Show".

At this moment, he left Zhongdu City and saw the outside world. He truly knew that he had come to a different time and space, and to the world in the novel. He was not the protagonist here, but just a tragic villain.

While feeling depressed, Yang Kang breathed a sigh of relief. At least he still had time to change everything.

Yelu Chucai was a conscientious teacher, and he still did not forget to arrange homework for Yang Kang during the trip. Wanyan Hongxi was not interested in these knowledge, and even hated it. At this time, he always left the carriage, mounted his horse and went out hunting with his soldiers.

When it comes to hunting, sometimes people kill people and set fires.

Since the battle with the Northern Expeditionary Army of Han Yuzhou of the Southern Song Dynasty four years ago, there has been no major war in the Jin Kingdom. There have been many cases of corruption in the army. It is not uncommon for noble children to join the army to gain credit. The entire Jin Kingdom army

The fighting strength began to decline.

This time, in order to put pressure on various Mongolian tribes, they brought with them well-equipped elite troops from the Jin Kingdom.

Yelu Chucai's lectures are not limited to the content of the text. He often quotes from other sources and uses examples that have happened in history to explain the meaning of the text. It is like telling a story, and the subtle meaning is revealed from the story.

Yang Kang liked this kind of teaching method. Real scholars in ancient times could teach students in accordance with their aptitude. The cramming education of later generations was poisonous to children.

A teacher is someone who teaches, teaches, and resolves doubts.

As a teacher, it is not enough to just impart knowledge, but also to educate moral character. This is the real teacher.

While the master and the apprentice were discussing with each other, screams and cries came from the distance again. Yelu Chucai sighed. This kind of thing happened often along the way. The military discipline of the Jin army has been corrupted to such an extent.

He couldn't help but feel a little worried.

From the current point of view, the Kingdom of Jin is still in its prosperous age, but many signs of decline have already appeared.

The current emperor is not as diligent as he was when he was young. After a serious illness, he may feel that life is short and he should enjoy himself in time, so he does not think about progress and becomes greedy for pleasure. He not only builds palaces and pursues luxury, but also covets beauty.

Recruit concubines.

Perhaps only the Sixth Prince can save the Kingdom of Jin.

The army marched slowly, not in a hurry, stopping briefly in major cities along the way, and finally entered the desert in late autumn.

Looking at the endless grassland and the eagle flying in the sky, Yang Kang was filled with emotion.

It was a miracle that such a nomadic people on the steppes could expand their territory to Europe a few decades later and become the most powerful empire in the world at that time. However, their later rule was too brutal, which led to their demise.

If you think about the Jin Kingdom today, you will know how similar the history is.

What greeted them was Temujin's eldest son Jochi, a middle-aged man with a brave appearance, who had the unique ruggedness and heroism of the people outside the Great Wall, and spoke in a loud voice.

Yang Kang looked at everything around him curiously on the carriage. At this time, Wanyan Hongxi had already gone out. At this time, as the prince of the Jin Kingdom, he needed to support the scene.

According to what he said, he was going to teach those barbarians in the North a lesson.

This is a very large tribe. The yurts as far as the eye can see form the main body of this tribe. The countless cattle and sheep represent wealth. The faces of the herdsmen here have a kind of wildness.

That's right, it's wild.

This is a force that is not bound by rules. They are an explosive and unpredictable group. Such a group is scary because you don't know whether it will suddenly break out and hurt people.

If the Mongols are barbaric and the Jin people are brave, then the Southern Song Dynasty is feminine.

Confucianism has given the world rules, but these rules have eliminated the wildness of human beings and made them tame, thus losing their vitality.

The Jin people were assimilated into Han culture and began to become weak.

This is not to say that Confucian culture is not good, but that there is a deviation in the understanding of rules. If a person who follows the rules and a person who does not follow the rules have a dispute, in a society bound by rules, the person who follows the rules usually wins.

People who don't follow the rules are punished.

But in this era, it is not a society of rules, but a society of the jungle. If you want not to be bullied, you must make yourself stronger.

The Jin army followed the Mongolian army into the territory of the Qiyan tribe. Temujin and a group of people stood on the roadside to greet them.

Wanyan Hongxi, who was riding a horse, saw a group of children around him looking at the Jin soldiers curiously. He felt happy and took out a handful of gold coins from his arms and threw them towards the children. This was a reward for them.

He often did this kind of royal behavior in the Kingdom of Jin to show his generosity. The children of the poor would always happily plunder and thank the prince.

The children who could watch at this time were all the children of senior generals in the Qiyan Ministry, not children from poor families. No one picked up the gold coins on the ground. This made Wanyan Hongxi a little disappointed, so he cursed a few words in Jurchen dialect.

Although there are geographical differences between Jurchen and Mongolian, they belong to the same language family. Even if you don't understand it clearly, you can still get a general idea. Suddenly, the Mongolian soldiers around them all looked indignant, but because they were facing

The prince of Jin Kingdom could only endure it.

At this moment, a child suddenly picked up a few gold coins from the ground, ran over and threw them at Wanyan Hongxi with all his strength. One gold coin even hit Wanyan Hongxi's head.

Wanyan Hongxi became angry and grabbed the spear of the guard beside him and threw it at the child. The spear was about to hit the child's chest when a sharp arrow flew towards him and missed the spear. He was saved.

That child.

Wanyan Honglie hurriedly stopped the third brother and resolved the matter with words. If the child was not killed or injured, it would not be a big deal. Under the guidance of Temujin, he let the two Jin kings into the big tent.

Yang Kang got off the carriage and followed Wanyan Honglie. When he entered the tent, he turned back and took a deep look at the child who was still in shock.
