[800โ small รท said โ.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, where there are rivers and lakes, there is struggle, and where there is struggle, there is blood.
Song Jingang's ideal is very full, but the reality is too cruel.
His intention to escape had already been discovered by Xu Shiji and Wei Zheng, so he ordered Zhang Tiehu to lead 3,000 troops to make a feint, which became a joke.
Conspiracy, when undetected, is a great threat. But once you see through it, then it's easy to deal with. For example, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", on the surface, it seems that Huang Gai and the main general Zhou Yu had a conflict, and Huang Gai wanted to lead his troops to surrender. In fact, Huang Gai wanted to approach Cao Jun's sailor and set fire. If Cao Cao had seen through this plan in advance, it would have been impossible to find out about the burning of the company's camp.
It is also a conspiracy, Song Jingang's intention to run has been seen through by Xu Shiji and Wei Zheng, when Zhang Tiehu feints, Xu Shiji will plan and send elite soldiers to ambush in Foye Mountain in the east of Huzhou.
As a result, Song Jingang, who thought he had a plan, crashed headlong into Xu Shiji's encirclement, and Song Jingang's 20,000 troops were annihilated by more than 3,000 and surrendered 13,000, but Song Jingang unexpectedly broke through Zhuyu Valley with more than 4,000 elite troops and escaped from Zhuyu Valley.
However, Huzhou was captured, the throat of southern Jin, and the gateway to Pingyang had fallen into the hands of the Tang army. Li Jiancheng also knew the truth of the speed of soldiers, and he ordered Yuan Baobao to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Linjiang City, but unexpectedly received Wang Xingben's surrender. Wang Xingben saw that Liu Wuzhou was strong, and surrendered to Liu Wuzhou without a single shot, and now that the Tang army is strong, Wang Xingben wants to surrender again.
Li Jianwei wanted to accept Wang Xingben's surrender, but Wei Zheng said: "Such a three-surnamed domestic slave, a capricious villain, is also a disaster if he stays." โ
Li Jiancheng felt the same, and immediately ordered to refuse to accept Wang Xingben's surrender. Wang Xingben had no way out, but was killed by his subordinates, and his head was sent to Li Jiancheng's camp.
Completely different from Song Jingang, Li Xiuning presided over the Taiyuan Campaign, but he adopted a yang scheme, just like Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou, he wrote to tell you that I want to beat you, Cao's army made a big fanfare, stretched for dozens of miles, and Jingzhou knelt directly.
Li Xiuning is the same, with the Lingwu Right Army and the Lingwu Left Army respectively to surround the north of Taiyuan and the east of Taiyuan, and he set up the commander of the Chinese army in the west of Taiyuan City, encircling three missing one, leaving only the south city of Taiyuan.
The Shuozhou Army, an army composed of ordinary people, had little combat effectiveness. However, Li Xiuning took this army as a treasure, and the armor and blades captured from the Tianxing army changed the Shuozhou army into a new outfit, and at the same time merged into the Tianxing army to form a new Bingzhou army.
Chen Ying didn't worry about the Battle of Taiyuan, but he asked Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, for nearly 2,000 men. It was Lingzhou, who was appointed first, who took back all the camps, such as Ge Tong, Wei Meng, Guo Zhun, Yan Shihu, etc. When Li Xiuning saw that most of the people selected by Chen Ying were outside the age of 40, and less than 20% of the young and middle-aged were young, he thought that Chen Ying was to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Shuozhou Army, and to dismiss the old and weak, so he directly waved his pen and let these people go.
Chen Ying gave the more than 2,000 craftsmen a talisman (ancient ID card) and a letter to let them move their families to Lingzhou. Chen Ying gave them very generous treatment, children over three years old are counted, sixty acres of land per capita, all the craftsmen looked at the letter that the ink had not dried, for fear that Chen Ying would regret it, and hurriedly dragged his family towards Lingzhou.
However, these people don't have to work too hard, they can take a sheepskin raft to Lingzhou.
There were exceptions among these craftsmen, that is, more than a dozen apprentices such as Ge Tong and Zhao Wuxian, the deputy capital supervisors of the camp, were left in Weize Pass. Because Chen Ying learned from Li Xiuning that Li Yuan had sent a consolation envoy to summon him to Beijing to accept the canonization.
This time he can be promoted to the county duke, and now he is the only one in Datang who is not a hereditary weak crown county duke, and the specific title Li Xiuning doesn't know, so naturally no one says.
Chen Ying didn't say that he was injured, even if he wasn't injured, he would get sick when he sat in the carriage of this era. So Chen Ying left Ge Tong to prepare to build a new type of carriage, equipped with rolling bearings, shock absorption settings, and four-wheel guided carriages.
According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Ying can enter and exit in a four-horse carriage, and with the pull of four horses, he can completely pull a four-wheeled heavy carriage.
"Hey, it still doesn't work."
Ge Tong was almost desperate, he tried countless times, and the scrapped steel had exceeded 1,000 catties, and now even the quartermaster in charge of the baggage looked at Ge Tong like a wolf, and wanted to eat Ge Tong.
More than 1,000 catties of iron, hundreds of horizontal knives, and dozens of sets of armor were wasted by Ge Tong like this, so it was no wonder that he was not angry.
Since becoming an official, Ge Tong likes to compare officials with others. The quartermaster was from Qipin, and after finding out that the other party did not have his own official rank, Ge Tong's waist was straight, and he said loudly: "Nonsense, three hundred catties." โ
In fact, the size of an official position does not all depend on rank, but also on actual power. When he was impeached by a servant or imperial history, he could only take off the black gauze crown and kneel to defend himself. The internal servant is a regular servant, but he is six grades, even if he is a deputy minister, who dares not to give him face?
However, Ge Tong and the quartermaster are not palm seal officers, but they can be responsible for a mess of practice, the two sides are not a system, and no one can help anyone. Not to mention the quartermaster from the seventh rank, even if he is from the eighth grade, if you want not to give face to Ge Tong, the deputy capital supervisor from the sixth grade, Ge Tong has no way at all.
What's more, this quartermaster can pick bones in the egg in the inspection process, which is embarrassing. But Ge Tong didn't know and had a tough attitude.
"Three hundred pounds!" The quartermaster's face twitched: "Why don't you go and rob it?" โ
"This is what the general wants, you can do it!" Ge Tong neither explained nor ignored it, and walked away with Zhao Wuxian.
The quartermaster was naturally not afraid of Ge Tong, but Chen Ying's request, he couldn't help but be satisfied. Although he was full of complaints, he still sent three hundred catties of steel to Ge Tong's craftsman workshop according to Ge Tong's wishes.
In fact, although Chen Ying understands the property parameters of spring steel, such as adding manganese, silicon, chromium and other elements, Chen Ying really doesn't know how to find these reasons, and how much to add, Chen Ying is not clear.
can only let Ge Tong slowly grope with it.
Spring steel can not only make springs and carriage shock absorption, in fact, the steel crossbow made of spring steel is more powerful, more light and compact, used to hand a spring steel scorpion crossbow, the use of pulleys to quickly wind, as long as the arrows are endless, you can always keep the crossbow arrows suppressed, once such a crossbow machine is created, it will be a earth-shaking change.
In addition, once the barbed wire is coldly pierced, the barbed wire is also a sharp weapon to prevent cavalry raids, and once it is put into use, it can quickly create a defensive line and enclose the cavalry in the barbed wire.
Just when Ge Tong and Zhao Wuxian were waiting for waste sleep and food to make spring steel, Chen Ying taught Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang to read and write, in fact, Wu Yuanqing knew a little bit and had already finished reading the thousand-character essay and several Analects. Wu Yuanshuang is slightly worse, and he can also read hundreds of words. However, Chen Ying was teaching the Wu brothers: "At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, their habits are similar, and if they don't teach, their sex is moving." The way of teaching is to be specialized. Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor. If you don't learn, you will be cut off. Dou Yanshan, there is a righteous side. Teach five sons, and be famous. โ
Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang followed Chen Ying and recited silently: "Dou Yanshan, there is a righteous prescription." Teach the five sons, and be famous! โ
Chen Ying didn't feel anything just now, and when Wu Yuanqing and Wu Shuang recited, Chen Ying felt that something was wrong, this Dou Yanshan was talking about Dou Yujun of the Later Jin Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and later his wife gave birth to five sons in a row. He devoted all his energy to cultivating and educating his sons, not only paying attention to their bodies at all times, but also paying attention to their learning and moral cultivation. Under his cultivation and education, his five sons have become useful talents, and they have successively become the first and second.
Fortunately, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang didn't ask, otherwise this would be a big oolong.
However, as the so-called fear of something, I suddenly heard a sound outside the door: "The ancestor Jianchang Xiaogong has five sons, all of whom are famous all over the world, I don't know when the ancestor has the title of Dou Yanshan?" โ
Chen Ying looked out of the door in surprise, and an old man with kind eyebrows twisted his beard and smiled.
The old man wore dark deerskin boots, a black black gauze crown, and a purple uniform.
From the old man's dress, Chen Ying deduced that this should be a third-grade master. Chen Yingshi said: "Forgive Chen Ying for being seriously injured, he can't perform the full courtesy, and he doesn't know what to do!" โ
"Old man Dou Cong!"
Dou Cong's father is Dou Chi, Dou Chi is the hereditary Duke of Jianchang and Li Yuan's father-in-law. Dou Chi's father is Dou Luo, and Dou Xiao has five sons, Xing, Ba, Yue, Shan, and Chi. Each one has a very big reputation.
Chen Ying smiled dumbly, it was really a beautiful misunderstanding.
