Chapter 104 Jinze Treasure House
Zhao Wei didn't know who Xie Guoming was, and he didn't know what he did when he returned to the Central Plains.
A few days later, when Hojo Toshizo had already retreated to Muo in the north, Zhao Wei also returned to the Bekaan army located at Ishikawa Castle.
"I think that old boy didn't plan to surrender, so the Prime Minister, fight whatever he should do!"
Hiroyan looked at Hojo Toshizo's reply and smiled secretly. This was the best result.
He looked up at Zhao Wei, "Where is the Emperor?"
"Emperor?" Zhao Wei grinned, "If I dare to stand down in Kyoto City, then Emperor Lao Shizi would dare to crawl out and ask for surrender!"
He shook his hands and said, "The Prime Minister doesn't know that the shogunate has always been incompatible with the Emperor. Emperor Yuta has long wanted to get rid of the shogunate dictatorship. So, if he surrenders, our good days will come to an end?"
Boyan frowned and Zhao Wei said too much.
It’s best to be tacit about these things. Just understand them and I understand them. But if you say them, they will become trouble in the future.
He said with a straight face: "What is this saying by Marquis of Ningguo? If the Emperor of Japan is willing to surrender, my Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty will be kind and virtuous, and of course he welcomes the world. How can I neglect it?"
"Okay, okay." Zhao Wei twitched his nose and looked around. They were all Boyan's subordinates. "There are no outsiders, but the Prime Minister's official sarcasm is boring!"
"You!!" Boyan was so angry. Why did he get such a fool? I don't understand it!
He wanted to continue scolding, but he didn't expect that Zhao Wei leaned against him in one step and said in a "whisper" that almost everyone could hear: "Tell me the truth to the Prime Minister. I don't know that I can't say this? But it's not okay to say it, and it's not okay not to delay!"
"Why?"
"I have gained nothing else this trip, but I have discovered why Ishikawa Castle has heavy troops to guard it."
“Why?”
"That was the kenarok Castle of Hojo Toshizo. There were craftsmen who supplied the Kyushu frontline and the imperial knife maker from the Desong family."
After hearing this, Boyan suddenly realized, "This makes sense, no wonder Xiaoxiao Ishikawa has 50,000 defenders."
Zhao Wei gritted his teeth, "That's not all! As far as I know, there are thousands of new Japanese treasure swords built in the city. Before he could send them to the front line, he was surrounded by the prime minister."
"If I go to Kyoto, if the emperor really surrenders, there will be no need to fight this battle! Do we have any share of those thousands of swords?"
“…”
Boyan was not bad, but the eyes of the deputy generals were straight.
Thousands of Japanese treasure swords? How much is it worth?
You should know that the Japanese sword and the Damascus patterned sword are the most precious magical weapons in the world. They are even more irreplaceable treasures for the Mongols who have become martial.
As for the reason, the knife making craftsmen in Damascus said before that they were forced to be craftsmen by Kublai Khan and were locked up in Baoding to make special swords.
In other words, all Damascus swords were public property of the imperial court, and only Kublai Khan could reward and distribute them.
The question is, who can let the emperor personally admire the sword? They must be officials with prominent identities, and ordinary people cannot get money even if they have money.
Although the style of the Japanese sword is quite different from that of the Yuan Dynasty, it is mainly sharp and beautiful, so it is also a hot item.
In Dadu, just look at a person's identity and just look at his sword matching.
Don’t mess with Damascus swords, either the royal family or the imperial court.
Those who are equipped with Japanese samurai swords have a lower status and may not have any prominent status, but they are definitely rich people.
Because this is the only best weapon visible on the market, it is hard to find a fortune.
Of course, this "thousand gold" is not just one thousand taels of gold, but one thousand kilograms of copper coins.
Anyway, any Japanese sword is worth about 400 guan, but if it is replaced by Zhongtong Cash, it will be 1,200 guan.
Now Zhao Wei told them that there are thousands of knives in Ishikawa City? Or should they be fine treasure knives made by the craftsmen of the Zong family? Everyone's eyes are filled with small money.
At this time, even Boyan was greedy and said with an official voice: "So, we must speed up the capture of Ishikawa Castle and beware of this batch of weapons flowing into the front line of Jiuzhou."
The rest of the deputy generals should drink, as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Nonsense, taking a Ishikawa is more cost-effective than robbing a bunch of slaves.
At this moment, Boyan decided to attack the city tomorrow and take over Ishikawa in one fell swoop within ten days.
Zhao Wei looked coldly from the side. After the generals left, he came to Boyan with a low voice, "Prime Minister, this time, this marquis has made great contributions?"
Boyan glanced at him and subconsciously leaned back. He didn't want to be too close to this bad person, so he disliked him!
He said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, wait until Ishikawa breaks, and I will have the benefits of Hou."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wei grinned and shook his head, "Hey, it's not rare for us to have a sword, but..."
"But what?"
"Prime Minister, you have also seen it. On the way, I snatched a few Japanese girls, and no matter how much oil and water were left. This time... I'll give you all the swords. Can I give me the knife maker? I'll open a Japanese sword shop in Dadu!"
"What did you say?" Boyan thought he had heard it wrong, "I'll give it to you all?"
Zhao Wei felt distressed and looked cowardly, "Prime Minister calms down! It's okay if you don't give it to me, right?"
"Haha." Boyan's expression was strange, looking at Zhao Wei like a fool, "Okay! Why can't you? You can pick as much as you want."
Zhao Wei's eyes lit up, "Really!?"
"Really, really?" Boyan's mind was a little unsteady, "Just pretending that I didn't hear what the Marquis said. But, when the Marquis arrested people, we must not see them."
"That's good!" Zhao Wei slapped his thigh, satisfied.
Boyan on the opposite side was both smiling secretly. This is really a fearless person! Dare to ask for a knife maker? How stupid is this to say such a thing?
Knifeman! Of course, Boyan knew that with a knife maker, it would be no problem to have a Japanese knife. Knifeman must be much more valuable than a knife.
But you see, there is one in this room that counts one. Has anyone ever used the idea of a knife maker? No?
Nonsense! Who dares to touch this mind? Whoever wants to die.
There was only one person who dared to raise swordsmen in the Great Yuan Dynasty - Kublai Khan.
If someone else hides two swordsmen, what should I do? If I make weapons privately, I will rebel?
Although Kublai Khan indulged his subordinates in greed for money and robbery, he must not cross the line. Zhao Weidong's wrong idea is cross the line.
I have to say that Boyan is also sinister enough, and this is to let Zhao Wei take the blame to the end.
If delaying the military plane before may not die, then this time, if you get involved in the armored craftsman, you will be completely dead.
Of course he never thought that Zhao Wei would be so beautiful now.
He just spoke up like this with a tentative mentality. He had already prepared some time to take some time to transport these thousands of craftsmen out of Japan. However, he did not expect that it would be so smooth and he could finish it in just a few words.
The only problem now is the Buddhist scriptures in Kanazawa Honan Temple.
This is also what Zhao Wei was curious about. He really didn't believe that Hojo Toshizo had to be so pious that he would take away the Buddhist scriptures at such a great price?
What exactly is in Honan Temple? It will only be known after the Yuan army conquered Kanazawa.
And this wait will be two months later.
After the Yuan army suffered 50,000 casualties and wiped out 30,000 warriors in the city, they finally stepped into the small city where the city was almost flattened.
When Zhao Wei supported Xie Dieshan and finally stood in front of a tall building like a palace on the mountain behind Honan Temple, the two old and young were completely shocked.
Die Shansheng trembled all over and slowly walked into the building, and tears of excitement flashed with his old eyes.
The gentleman walked slowly, and his wrinkled old hands stroked every corner of the tall building.
"The Japanese...it has been hidden for thousands of years...it is collected here!"
Zhao Wei pinched his waist, his eyes full of gloom.
"Sir, this is not as simple as it has been hidden for thousands of years! This is the treasure house of Japanese literary talent, and the foundation for the world for thousands of years from now on! This is still a cradle for laying eggs by borrowing chickens, borrowing Chinese chickens and hating Japanese eggs by hatching them!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Wei was a little amused and muttered in a low voice:
"His grandma, you are unlucky, I'll meet you.
I see, you are still clamoring for "There is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the fall of the Ming Dynasty." Why do you still shout shamelessly that China is orthodox in Japan?
Even if I burn a fire for you today, I won’t leave it for the Japanese!”
Mr. Dieshan didn't hear it before, but he listened to the last sentence.
When he heard that Zhao Wei was going to burn a fire, he was immediately frightened and said, "It can't be burned, it can't be burned! This is a treasure left by his ancestors, it can't be burned!!"
So what is the back mountain of Bengan Temple? It makes Xie Dieshan and Zhao Wei lose their composure?
Yes.--book!
Thousands, or even tens of thousands of ancient books.
This is an ancient classic that started in Japan, went from the Han Dynasty, went from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then from the Tang and Song dynasties, and traveled thousands of miles from the Central Plains to the Japanese.
Among them are the ancient scrolls of the Spring and Autumn Period before the Qin Dynasty, the works of wise men from the Wei, Jin and Han dynasties, and the theories of the Tang and Song dynasties.
Not only is there the past learning of Confucianism and Buddhism, but also astronomy, geography, agriculture, industry, and doctors, all inclusive.
A considerable number of them are the isolated books that have been lost in the Central Plains, and their value is immeasurable, just like the "Qunshu Zhiyao" that Mr. Dieshan hugged in his arms and refused to let go.
This is a masterpiece compiled by Li Shimin, who ordered the great scholars of the generation, Yu Shinan, Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang and others to compile historical materials for advice, and to draw on the Six Classics, Four Histories, more than 14,000 books of various schools, and more than 89,000 volumes of ancient books about self-cultivation, family management, country governance, and world peace.
However, in the chaotic times in the late Tang Dynasty, it was lost to the Central Plains, and no even left behind was left in half a piece of paper. Many Song Confucians would rather pay for their lives than to see the whole picture of this book.
Unexpectedly, it was in the hands of Japanese people.
