Chapter 1142 Abandonment
In July of the second year of Yanxi, the most lively thing in Chang'an was the affairs related to the academy.
After July, the matter of the academy has become a foregone conclusion. Although many people are still discussing it in Chang'an City, it is only the aftermath of the impact.
This time around, the promotion of imperial examinations to select scholars was not without opposition.
On the contrary, many people fiercely opposed it.
It is a pity that when discussing Taoism in the court, the emperor could not be persuaded.
More importantly, none of the big shots in the court stood up to oppose it.
An unknown Feng Duhu said:
From the emperor's brother-in-law, to the aristocratic families whose mouths are stuffed with wool and cotton, to the poor families who are eager to see through, and to the barbarians who are eager to be enlightened, they are all my people.
Sun Quan's son-in-law Zhu Ju, who came to Chang'an from the state of Wu to study, was responsible for a similar task to Ma Dazui who was far away in Jianye.
Of course, there was no Xinghan Hui behind Zhu Zhi, so naturally there were no huge resources for him to squander.
So he definitely cannot be as comfortable as a fish in water in Chang'an like Ma Dazui.
However, such a big event as sending students to counties and villages has caused such a fuss that it is difficult not to hear about it.
Zhu Ju can be favored by Sun Quan, so naturally he will not discuss whether this matter is appropriate or not, like those in Chang'an Avenue, and whether it violates the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty.
What he saw was the terrifying ability of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, or the Ji Han court, to control the aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty.
If this kind of thing were to be left to Da Wu, I am afraid that someone would start to raise troops to clear the emperor's side, and it would also receive responses from all over the country.
Even if they don’t respond one after another, at least a considerable number of people will respond.
As for the current Ji Han government and the public, there are a lot of discussions, and they can't agree on one thing.
Or it could be like students from all over the country getting drunk in a wine shop, scolding an unknown Feng Duhu for his clever words, scolding all the princes in the DPRK for eating without food, etc.
It’s all trivial.
If it were just Shu, or if Liangzhou was added, it would be barely acceptable for Ji Han to have such control.
But what about Yongzhou and Hedong?
How long did it take Ji Hancai to obtain these places?
It was actually possible to get the aristocratic families in these places to cooperate so well.
This made Zhu Ju feel shocked, but also felt a sense of deep fear.
Thinking about those guys who came from Dawu to learn how to ride and fight, Zhu Ju felt a little heavy in his heart.
“Come here!”
“General?”
“Pass my military order, and tomorrow the entire trainee battalion will be dispatched to practice breaking out.”
The rules of the Tiger Cavalry Army are that after new recruits enter the camp, they must work as a groom and handyman for half a year before they are qualified to ride on a real horse for practice.
As a unique unit of the Han Dynasty, even if you are good at riding, you will not be able to adapt to the Tiger Cavalry Army's horses, armor, and weapons without going through various exercises.
After one year, you can independently own war horses, complete armor and weapons.
Even if you are an exchange student from Wu State, which has great political significance, you cannot break this rule - at most you can only let it go a little bit.
For example, after the Wu Guo trainee camp has reported its route and destination, Zhu Ju can personally lead them to a certain place for training.
Of course, the instructors responsible for teaching them will naturally go with them.
"Sir, if you go out to practice in such a hot weather, I'm afraid..."
Although it is an exchange study, Ji Han is not responsible for the students' school supplies.
You have to pay for the horses, armor, and weapons in the trainee camp.
Of course, you can also rent it.
But no matter what, paying money is inevitable.
It's easy to go out to practice in the hottest time, but what if something goes wrong with the horse?
"Shut up!" Zhu Ju shouted sternly, "This is an important place in the army. Why don't you call me general?"
Zhu Xiong did not expect that his words of advice would trigger such a big reaction from his master.
What he didn’t expect was that the adult shouted next:
“You knowingly committed a crime, go down and get ten military sticks yourself!”
Zhu Xiong opened his mouth subconsciously, but when he saw the expression on the adult's face, he immediately closed his mouth and turned around.
Zhu Ju's face had turned gloomy.
According to his opinion, Ji Han used the land of two states to swallow up the land of two states. Not only did he swallow the elephant, he should at least be full of food.
It may not be possible to truly digest the land of Yongzong and the two states within ten to eight years—this is the shortest period envisaged by Zhu Ju.
After Ji Han captured the entire Liangzhou, he used his raw materials to subdue the powerful rightists in Liangzhou. It would take 678 years before he could send troops to Guanzhong with the strength of the whole country.
Yong merges two states, isn’t it much bigger than Liangzhou?
More importantly, Guanzhong is a golden pond and a pond, and the emperors of Qin and Han and Gao all relied on it to achieve their great achievements.
Not to mention the bitter cold places like Liangzhou, even Yizhou cannot compare with them.
How can we not manage such a God-given land with care?
Ten or eight years are still few, but twenty or thirty years are still worth it.
Who would have thought that the cruelty of reality would directly break Zhu Ju's fantasy.
It made him, who already felt that time was tight, even more impatient.
Based on the current situation, Ji Han may not have enough energy to go eastward before long.
If Wu could not take the opportunity to go northward at that time, carve up Wei State, accumulate strength, and stand side by side with Ji Han, he would be destroyed by Ji Han in the end.
That is really "the whole country can conquer the world for others"...
At that time, I’m afraid it won’t leave a funny name in the history?
Therefore, as the most important force for Wu to break through Wei's defense line and move northward, it must form an army as soon as possible.
In July in Guanzhong, the fierce sun shone down on the earth, making it scorching hot, and the leaves and weeds hung witheringly.
Occasionally the hot wind blew up, causing the ground to evaporate into a trembling air current. From a distance, it seemed to be moving, distorting everything that fell into the eyes.
To the north of the Weishui River, although the government has begun to organize manpower to try small-scale reclamation.
But after all, it is just an attempt to see how many years it will take for the reclaimed fields to be able to grow wheat and millet.
Because before Zheng Guo Canal was completely restored, it was impossible to restore the size of the fields to the size of the Pre-Han Dynasty.
This leads to the fact that the further north you go, the more desolate and sparsely populated it becomes.
As for the official road leading from Chang'an to Qiaoshan and connecting the north of Qiaoshan, basically only the Qinzhi Road built hundreds of years ago under the orders of the hand-made madman can still be used normally.
At this time, on the straight road of Qin, a group of five hundred people came, all of them dripping with sweat.
“General, we set off before dawn this morning, and we didn’t have breakfast. The sun is scorching in the sky, and we are all very hungry and thirsty. Why don’t we take a rest for now?”
Someone suggested to Zhu Ju.
Zhu Ju looked at the sun, then turned his head, looked at the team behind him, and finally nodded:
“Send the order to find a suitable place to camp and rest.”
The team immediately burst into cheers.
Zhu Ju sighed. He didn't feel sorry for these soldiers, but for the horses underneath them.
The minimum standard for war horses in the Tiger Cavalry Camp is for one person to ride two mules.
Mules are used to carry armor, weapons and other supplies. One horse is a backup, and it can also be used to ride on the road in an emergency.
As for the most important war horse, apart from charging in front of the battle, it can only be ridden during training.
Compared to Dahan Company, which successfully went public for the third time and continued to acquire rival subsidiaries on a large scale, Wu Guo was basically a poor man at this time.
But the foundation is still not enough, and unlike Dahan, which has two animal husbandry subsidiaries, it can continuously provide Dahan with war horses - war horses are too expensive.
With a lavish family like Zhu Ju, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the money and food consumed by the trainee camp.
Half of the 500-person trainee camp are not armored cavalry officers, but light cavalry.
This time out, it can only be regarded as a training. Naturally, the trainee camp cannot be like the local tycoons of the Ji Han Tiger Cavalry Army, with full standards and full equipment.
So it’s basically just a reduced allocation of one horse and one mule.
Zhu Ju may not feel sorry for his subordinates, but he must feel sorry for his horses.
After the sun turned west, it didn’t feel so hot anymore, so the team hurried on for a while.
It wasn’t until the sun moved over the mountain that they set up camp again.
After one year of training in the Tiger Cavalry Army, which has strict military disciplines, the probation camp is no longer the casual appearance it once was.
Even if it is a temporary camp, trenches should be dug and tents set up according to the military requirements.
As night fell, the camp quickly became quiet. The soldiers who had been tired for a day were eager to rest.
Zhu Ju did not sleep. He had a charcoal pencil and a notebook in his hand to record some thoughts.
Even if the Tiger Cavalry Army's school field is large enough, it can allow the Panzer Cavalry to charge back and forth.
But what happens on the battlefield is not just fighting in front of the battle line.
More, everything behind the formation.
Give the simplest example:
For example, the speed of the two armies' march may be enough to change the outcome on the battlefield.
The marching speed of the armored cavalry with four horses and four mules is definitely different from the marching speed of one horse and one mule.
It is not possible to obtain data just by training on the school field.
Although the Han Dynasty has also given out a lot of data, the authenticity still needs to be verified personally.
Moreover, although most of the sons and daughters in the trainee camp were loyal and martyred, they were still young and inexperienced.
I am afraid that it is difficult to compare with the elite tiger and wolf divisions under Feng Duhu.
So Zhu Ju knew that he could not blindly copy the practices and rules of the Han army.
It is still necessary to have practices and rules that suit Da Wu’s actual situation.
What is recorded in this book are all his experiences of what he saw, heard, and thought when he was in the Han Dynasty.
After he finished writing down his thoughts about the trainee camp today, he looked back at what he had written before. When he put the notebook away, it was already halfway up the moon.
Although it is not yet fifteen, the moon on the twelfth and thirteenth day is still dust-free on a clear summer night, casting a layer of clear light on the earth.
Just when Zhu Ju was about to fall asleep, he heard quick footsteps outside the tent and someone whispered at the tent door:
“General, there’s a situation!”
As soon as Zhu Ju heard this, his sleepiness disappeared and he said, "We'll talk after you come in."
The soldiers on duty entered the account and reported:
"General, there is movement outside the camp. There are at least ten riders, and there are shouts and shouts. It seems like they are fighting."
"Huh?" Zhu Ju's heart tightened, "Fight?"
A force that can organize dozens of cavalry to fight at night should not be underestimated.
Back then, Gan Xingba led a hundred cavalry, and he was able to rob the camp of tens of thousands of Cao thieves at night, causing great chaos.
If you are not guarded by the five hundred people in this district, if you do not prevent it, you will really be rides in, and the chaos is definitely inevitable.
"Let those on duty be prepared. The rest of the people are not allowed to move without receiving military orders. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed!"
Zhu Ju directly ordered, "Come here, put on my armor!"
The camp of five hundred people was not that big. Under the protection of several personal guards, Zhu Ju came to the edge of the camp and looked out, and saw silhouettes of people not far away.
Under the moonlight, he could even clearly see the weapon reflecting the moonlight.
However, Zhu Ju felt relieved when he saw the situation outside the camp.
After all, he is a person who has led troops into battle. He knows that attacking the camp under the dim moonlight is not a good choice.
Not to mention that the other party doesn't seem to be targeting himself, but is trying to surround a man in white.
the reason is simple.
Zhu Ju chose this place to set up camp, and he was naturally selected. Even if he attacked by force, this direction was not a good choice.
Due to the terrain, the camp can be seen from a high position.
"Witch, you can't escape anymore, why don't you hurry up and capture me?"
Just a disdainful sneer was heard, and then a clear voice came:
“If the terrain here hadn’t changed, do you really think you could catch me?”
That voice was not only clear and clear, but also had an air of arrogance that kept strangers away:
“And don’t you think that if you catch up with me, you can do nothing to me?”
When Zhu Ju heard this, he secretly felt ashamed. It seemed that he had built a temporary camp and blocked the opponent's way, so he was overtaken.
Thinking about it, further north along the Qinzhi Road is Qiaoshan.
If you enter the densely forested Qiaoshan, it is easiest to get rid of the pursuing soldiers.
"Witch, you are just alone. Now you are surrounded by us. Do you still want to escape?"
"I advise you to hand over your belongings obediently and come back with us..."
Before he finished speaking, someone shouted and interrupted him:
"Shut up!"
That clear voice had a hint of mockery, and even raised its volume, as if it was deliberately saying for everyone to hear:
"What? Feng Mingwen is also the Protector of the Central Military Commission after all. How can he still imitate those people who hide their heads and show their tails and don't even dare to mention their names?"
“Or is it because you are afraid that it will be revealed that he is an abandoned disciple of my Happy Sect and his reputation in the world will be ruined?”
“Shut up, you witch! Stop slandering the Protector of Zhong...”
“Hahaha,” as if hearing some big joke, the clear voice finally let out a mocking laugh:
“The fools in the world are nothing more than ants in the eyes of my Xiaoyao sect. A mere outcast can make you regard them as gods just by relying on a few secret books stolen from my door. It’s ridiculous, ridiculous!”
Feng Mingwen?
Abandoned member of Xiaoyao Sect?
Secret book?
…
Standing in the dark and eavesdropping on a body suddenly shaking, I felt as if I had come into contact with a huge secret.
His name is Feng Mingwen and he happens to be the Protector of the Central Government. There seems to be only one person in the world, right?
Feng Mingwen is a disciple of Shanmen, and his knowledge is profound and unpredictable.
The world only thought that he was a disciple sent by a secret mountain sect to join the world, but they didn’t expect that he was an abandoned disciple?
This this…
At this thought, Zhu Ju's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Stop talking nonsense, witch, and quickly hand over the things you stole from the general's mansion."
Although more than a dozen people surrounded the woman in white, they seemed to be extremely wary of each other and did not dare to approach easily. They just kept threatening her.
"What a joke! These things are secrets that are not told in my family. I came out this time just to take these things back to the door. Why did I steal them?"
“In terms of stealing, Feng Mingwen is the one who stole the secret of my family, right?”
A secret that is not told?
What could be something that can be called an untold secret by these sects?
Zhu Ju suddenly thought of a possibility. It couldn't be the legendary..."Wu'an Jun's Art of War", right?
