Naturally, Xiao Wen knew how to deal with General Li's warning.
Looking at Xiao Wen's knowing expression, General Li was very clear that Xiao Wen would not act recklessly in front of the strong.
"Sigh!" It was truly an eventful day. Under normal circumstances, I would not have let you get involved in such a dangerous situation. However, most of the embroidered robed envoys had been sent to the east. The people in the Cloud County were just a group of old and young people who had more than enough manpower to enter. If we let them handle this matter, I'm afraid there might be a problem. " General Li sighed.
Xiao Wen was stunned and a strange expression appeared on his face.
The embroidered robed envoys were the special forces of Darkhan. They were equivalent to the Embroidered Uniform Guard of Ming Country. According to the Emperor's desire for control, he wouldn't easily send them away.
If the elites of the Embroidered Emissaries were to be sent away, it would be very easy for something to happen in the clouds to escape the control of the Emperor.
He had originally thought that General Li wanted him to translate the letter and not hand it over to the embroidered robed envoys, but he wanted to swallow the credit.
After all, the military would be the one to decipher the letters before they met with any real trouble, and that was much more than handing the letters over to the embroidered robed envoys.
But from the looks of it, it wasn't that Uncle Li didn't want to give the letter to the embroidered robed envoy, but that he simply couldn't find a reliable embroidered robed envoy to take over the task.
"What the hell is going on? How could the Emperor remove the embroidered robed envoy from the clouds?" Xiao Wen's heart was filled with confusion and unease.
Uncle Li saw the doubt in Xiao Wen's heart. He did not intend to hide it from him and calmly said, "This is not a secret. If you pay attention to the latest news, you will find that the First Emperor in the west has recently ordered General Meng Tian to lead the three hundred thousand men stationed at the Great Wall to the Kingdom of Yuan. On the east side, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Kingdom and Nur Haji of Manchu were fighting in the east of Liaoning Province. The victor was not yet decided. Today, he brought soldiers from Peixian County and transferred them to other counties. Only officials from other counties, such as the Imperial Guards and the Knights from the right and center of the clouds were sent to the north to fight for the country of Liaoning. Because of the importance of this war, His Majesty did not hesitate to draw out embroidery envoys in order to get the most out of the situation of the enemy forces.
With that, he pointed towards the clouds on the map and coldly said to Xiao Wen, "Currently, other than me, the Cloud Army, there is no one else in the northern regions of the big guy. If we fall behind in the clouds, the north will become a place for us to run. "
Hearing this, Xiao Wen's eyes narrowed.
The entire north, that's all?
Was Liubang courting death?
"What exactly is it that caused the three emperors to take such a huge risk and send troops to the various countries on the prairie?" Xiao Wen asked.
"Song Kingdom." General Li explained.
"Song Kingdom?" Hearing this, Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment, his heart was filled with confusion.
General Li pointed to the country of Qin on the map and said, "The First Emperor's country of Qin has been a militant for a long time. Although the Qin had the most perfect laws and regulations for craftsmen and the most powerful army, the people still complained. The First Emperor was aware of the situation in his country, but after so many years of accumulating information, it was not something that could be changed so easily. The Song Kingdom, on the other hand, gave the First Emperor an opportunity to reform. "
"The Emperor of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, has always wanted to take back his Sixteen Quiet Cloud Regions, but the Song Army is too weak and useless. He could only start from other aspects. This time, with the price of four large-scale water conservancy projects, twenty-six farming techniques, one hundred and sixteen commercial cooperation projects, and three hundred thousand gold taels, the Song Emperor ordered the First Emperor to send troops northwards to contain the countries of the plains to the north of the Qin and Han Dynasties. "
"Although my big man's situation isn't as bad as the Qin Nation's, it isn't too far off. Therefore, the Song Emperor used a similar amount of bargaining power to send troops from the various counties in the north and the counties in the east to march into the country. "
"As for how he managed to get the Emperor of Ming to join in, we do not know."
Hearing this, Xiao Wen couldn't help but sigh.
It is true that war is a continuation of politics and that the economy determines the direction of politics.
Although the army of the Song was small and weak, it could make other Han Chinese countries contribute to it with its strong economic power. It had to be said that this Zhao Kuangyin really had his own eyes.
After listening to Uncle Li's explanation, Xiao Wen had a deep understanding of the political situation in this world.
After realizing how much responsibility he had, he repeatedly promised Uncle Li that he would finish translating the letters within the next two days before leaving the military camp.
Watching Xiao Wen leave, a senior military officer suddenly spoke up, "General, can we really trust this Xiao Wen? Even though his brother had died in the war in the clouds. But a survey of his past shows that he was not educated in Manchu or medicine. There are still many mysteries hidden within him. "
"He's just the descendant of a hundred families. What's there to be surprised about." General Li did not pay attention to the officer's words and waved his hand as he spoke.
"The descendants of the hundreds of families? Do you think that you can trust him just because of that? " the officer asked.
General Li laughed, "No! Not really! It is not that we have absolute trust in him, but as a hundred families, he can only walk the path of a big man. "
"The First Emperor of the west, Fen Shuquan, only trusts the Scholars. There is no place for the other guilds. As for the other countries to the east, they also respected the Confucian arts. They were an existence that everyone wanted to beat. As for the barbarians of the prairie … If they didn't have a future, how many scholars would be willing to go to those places? Only our Han Empire, although dominated by Taoism, is not afraid of other guilds. "Only me, the big man, is their safe haven."
"Don't bring up the matter of suspecting Xiao Wen." "Right now, it is too late to win over such a talent. We must not offend him."
"Yes!" The group of officers cupped their hands and saluted General Li.
At the same time, Xiao Wen left the military camp and rode a horse. The reins were led by a soldier beside him.
At his side, there were a few cavalrymen guarding him.
This was the bodyguard that Uncle Li had arranged for Xiao Wen.
After all, if Xiao Wen came out at this time and something happened, it would be difficult for him to find another person in the Cloud County who could translate the full text.
Xiao Wen didn't pay much attention to these guards.
At this moment, he could only concentrate on reading the contents of the letter. Even though it was full of words, he didn't recognize any of them. Even with the dictionary, it would take him a long time to determine the difference between each word.
"Relying on a dictionary to translate words that I've never heard of is indeed a very strenuous task!" Xiao Wen complained.
If it was Latin script, perhaps he would be able to see the differences between the different letters. However, he was completely oblivious to these words that were different from Chinese and Latin characters.
However, he did not give up on this task, but continued to compare them with perseverance.
In fact, he is not in the process of making a verbatim translation of "how to say you" into "how to say you" jokes. His purpose, in fact, was to find out the proper noun for the letter.
That's right! It was to find a proper noun.
Although they are translating common words and then connecting them into sentences, problems are likely to occur. However, the job of finding a proper noun did not need to consider the issue of grammar.
Xiao Wen only needed to know what exactly was the proper noun on this letter. Then, he would be able to deduce the contents of the letter through the recent events.
This was undoubtedly something that could greatly accelerate the pace of translation.
Very quickly, he found a few rather eye-catching proper nouns.
For example, the Eight Flags, for example, the Emperor, for example, the State of Korea.
Seeing the appearance of these proper nouns, Xiao Wen was able to conclude that the things recorded on this letter were not ordinary business dealings, but something that involved the military as well as the interests of the country.
Otherwise, who would have mentioned the Eight Flags, the Emperor, the Republic of Korea?
After making some progress, Xiao Wen continued to work hard.
Very quickly, he found another two proper nouns … Or perhaps it was a person's name.
Seeing these two names, Xiao Wen revealed a strange expression.
Just because of these two full names, one is called Newcobalt Lu Dai, the other is called Yehonala Cheng De...
