Chapter 27: The soft rice is forced to eat Mr. Song
Liu Qinglian was an impatient person. After confirming that the person she loved had the intention to rebel, she left in a hurry with dozens of remaining black-clothed cronies.
She needs to gather the remaining members of the White Lotus cult as soon as possible while the name of the White Lotus Saint is still somewhat intimidating.
In the past, rebellion was for the sake of rebellion.
But it's different now. She's rebelling for the sake of the person she likes, for her own future happiness, and her enthusiasm is completely aroused!
As for whether her brother would turn into a love brother and then a husband in the future, she had never had the slightest doubt.
After getting along for a long time, falling in love with each other, working hard for a common goal, and finally getting together and becoming husband and wife, this is something that happens naturally and naturally, right?
After watching Liu Qinglian leave, Song Xuan sat down, poured a cup of tea, and drank by himself.
One is Zhou Zhiruo and the other is Liu Qinglian.
One has the Emei Sect behind it, and the other has the White Lotus Sect. These two forces cannot be underestimated.
Song Xuan touched his face and couldn't help sighing, he is so handsome but so unreasonable.
Youself, this is considered a soft meal, right?
Song Qingshu in the original work is a proper licking dog.
But now that he has traveled through time, he has changed his fate against the will of heaven and become a freeloader!
It is said that you should first get married and then establish a career. When I meet a rich woman, she gets married and then establishes a career. The ancients do not deceive me!
This time I met two rich women at once, and the power behind them was quite strong. For Xuan, the soft rice king of Song Dynasty, it was still quite stressful.
Therefore, in order to avoid capsizing in the future, he planned to dig a grave first to further improve his strength.
As long as they can be suppressed by force, it doesn't matter if they are forced to eat soft food!
After drinking a pot of tea, Song Xuan clapped his hands.
The next moment, a tall man wearing a bamboo hat and a dark green short robe, with a hideous scar on his cheek, walked in quickly.
"Master!"
The person coming is the leader of the Tsing Yi Guards, Lao Liu!
Lao Liu was originally the head of a bodyguard agency, but he offended local officials and had his house confiscated and exterminated by the Yuan Dynasty. Song Xuan came down the mountain two years ago and rescued this poor man with scars all over his body.
Since then, this person has become Song Xuan's number one confidant, taking charge of the Tsing Yi Guard for him, waiting for the day when Qianlong comes out of the abyss and destroys Yuan Ting!
"I'm going on a long journey, and my destination is probably in Xiangyang. If you can't find me in an emergency, you can go to Wudang Mountain and look for my father Song Yuanqiao. He can make the decision for the time being!"
"Yes!" Lao Liu responded immediately.
"By the way, how's the progress on the firearms research and development side?"
"Progress is going very quickly. With the financial support of the Hu family, the flint-fire gun you mentioned has already been developed. It is expected that the first batch of fire gun will be made next month.
As for artillery, armor, etc., they are also being developed and built in an orderly manner.
In two years, I will have enough for you to form an elite army of 100,000 men!"
Song Xuan nodded, "Just keep an eye on it. This is our foundation. We must strictly control quality and cut corners. If we find one case, we will deal with it. Don't take it lightly!"
Firearms have been used in the military on a large scale since the Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, when the Shenji Battalion was specially formed, their development reached its peak.
It is a pity that in the late Ming Dynasty, the status of craftsmen was too low, and the problem of underpaying and cutting corners became a serious disease. Fire blunderbuss exploded at every turn, which also prevented the fire blunderbuss army from becoming the mainstream of the army.
Otherwise, there is no way to say that the Eight Banners are invincible if they are less than ten thousand.
The overwhelming rain of bullets sent me directly to the Palace of Hell for tea!
It's a pity that China's king account for thousands of years was suddenly reduced to a bronze rookie during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties!
"correct."
Just as Song Xuan was about to walk out of the private room, he said again: "You should also send people to keep an eye on the situation at the White Lotus Sect."
Lao Liu hesitated for a moment and said: "Young master, the White Lotus Sect has a bad reputation. Do you really want to accept them?"
"Has a bad reputation?" Song Xuan laughed, "How does it compare to the Ming Cult?"
Lao Liu replied: "Now, compared to the White Lotus Sect, the Demon Sect has an even worse reputation!"
"Yes, the Ming Cult is now called the Demon Cult!" Song Xuan sighed with emotion: "But believe it or not, if I don't intervene, the one who will eventually conquer the world in the future will most likely be the Ming Cult!"
Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it.
Song Xuan smiled and said: "There is no doubt that from the fact that Wei Yixiao, the Green-winged Bat King, raided the White Lotus Sect's home base and incorporated the White Lotus Sect members, the Ming Sect has already had a clear goal and is integrating the forces of all parties little by little to accumulate strength.
This is much better than the so-called six major sects of Jianghu!
The six major factions kept shouting that they would expel the Tartars and rebuild the Han family.
But the slogans are just shouting loudly, and when it comes to getting things done, everyone is like a headless fly, not knowing where to start.
Competing in the world relies on hard power, and no fraud is allowed!
As for reputation, haha~~"
Song Xuan chuckled twice without saying anything else. He walked out of the teahouse, waved to Lao Liu, and then disappeared at the end of the street.
Reputation is king when paired with strength.
Without strength and only reputation, it is a bad card!
The Mongolian army frequently burned, killed, looted and massacred cities for pleasure. Hundreds of millions of people in Asia and Europe died at their hands, which can be called the largest massacre disaster in human history.
What's their reputation?
Some are just the title of devil!
But so what?
They still established the Yuan Dynasty, and even several Mongol khanates occupied boundless territory. Dozens and millions of Mongol troops rushed in. Who would not be afraid or frightened when they saw it?
After leaving Hangzhou, Song Xuan traveled all the way, then took a boat and sailed upstream along the Yangtze River.
His destination is Xiangyang.
To be precise, it is the Sword Tomb outside Xiangyang City.
Dugu Qiubai lived in seclusion and was buried in his later years!
Back then, the Condor Hero Yang Guo lived in seclusion there for a period of time after his arm was broken, and even obtained the Dark Iron Heavy Sword from the Sword Tomb.
Later, this sword was recast by Guo Jing and his wife, and was forged into the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sword, and the Nine Yin Manual, Wu Mu's suicide note and other martial arts and military treasures were stored in it.
In order to leave some hope for future generations to resist the brutal rule of the Mongols.
Of course, Song Xuan's purpose this time was not for the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword, but for the tomb of Dugu Qiubai.
In his judgment, there is a great possibility that the unique skill of Dugu Nine Swords exists there!
This is not groundless speculation, but deduced based on the plot of Swordsman in later generations.
In the plot of The Swordsman, Feng Qingyang, a reclusive master of the Huashan sect, once taught Linghu Chong the peerless swordsmanship of Dugu Nine Swords.
But where exactly this swordsmanship came from, Feng Qingyang did not give a clear explanation.
In Song Xuan's opinion, there is an 80% chance that Feng Qingyang dug Dugu Qiubei's grave!
