Chapter 27: The rude man opens his mouth boldly, and the minister's heart is cut
It is said that Dongsi's allied forces relieved the siege and retreated. Zhao Jin discussed with the generals whether to pursue it. Xiao Qian strongly pursued him and asked for a thousand light horses. He Pan was not willing to show weakness and asked for 2,000 iron horses.
Needless to say, He Pan's unreasonable request cannot be agreed. However, Xiao Qian's request was reasonable and moderate. Zhao Jin ordered Xiao Qian to select a relatively battleable 1,000 people from the first cavalry of the Rebel Army, be full of light clothing, and pursue cautiously.
Xiao Qian caught up with the people after the break of the Dongsi army and saw that the other party was really prepared. Although the 1,000 horses selected by themselves have some combat skills, they are not trained enough, and they are afraid that they will break up as soon as they fight. At this time, I felt tricky, but now that I have chased it out, I'm afraid of making fun of it. As soon as Xiao Qian thought about it, he led thousands of horses away from the road and walked around the wilderness.
Daniel Alexanderovich, the main general of the East Sisi army, the Duke of Moscow, sensed the pursuit of the troops and ordered his cavalry to track it. Daniel was deeply wise. Previously, because he summarized the historical lessons of the conquest of the Mongols, he felt that he must attach importance to cavalry and learn to ride and shoot. Therefore, Daniel is committed to training cavalry troops, emphasizing that the army should have both combat effectiveness and memodynamics.
Xiao Lu led his army to quickly bypass the army of the Principality of Moscow and galloped straight forward. This is based on the "avoidance of real attack" in the art of war, trying to bypass the difficult Moscow army and pursue the other armies in front of it. The coalition forces in front of them were unprepared and just rushed home. In order to prevent Xiao's troops from chasing him, those Dongsi soldiers suddenly did not even have the heart to fight, and they all thought that they must escape before others!
Xiao Lu led a dozen riders to rush to the Eastern Army first. These dozens of them are skilled in riding bows and horses, and Xiao Yu himself is even more divine arrows. He specializes in shooting horse-riding officers and immediately shoots many people! When Dong Si soldiers saw it, they were even more frightened. There was no intention to reject the enemy and ran away in all directions!
Xiao Qian turned slightly, waved thousands of riders behind him, and was about to rush into a large number of defeated troops. However, at this time, the cavalry of the Principality of Moscow came from behind! Although Xiao Qian is eager to make contributions, he knows that it is easy to disperse the undertrained Rebel cavalry, and it is very difficult to gather again! It is easy to kill the defeated army, but in the case of being chased by the Moscow army, the thousand horses will inevitably be in chaos and out of control.
You can't take the thousand-rider elite given by the main bus as a joke, so Xiao Qian had to give up, whistle, recall the first dozen riders, release the large area of the defeated army, and then lead his troops into the wilderness. When the Moscow army chased him, Xiao Qian put himself at the end of the thousand riders. Once an enemy approached him, he would kill him with less than one arrow and two or three arrows.
The Moscow army was afraid to see Xiao Yu so powerful. And Duke Daniel's photo, as long as he helps the friendly army solve the difficulties, and there is no need to fight with the rebels to increase losses. They kept their distance and dared not approach.
Xiao Qian returned with thousands of cavalry. Seeing Qi Jin leading thousands of infantry, he came to receive it on the order of his lord. Xiao Qian and Qi slowly followed the Moscow army for a few days, but he didn't have a chance to take advantage of it. He only seized a number of weapons and armor left by the defeated army in other countries, which was also a little rewarding.
The second general will return the army. Because Xiao Yu was the second seat of the 22nd horse, and his temperament was similar to Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin was very close to him and comforted him privately, "It doesn't matter! Let's let go of the long hair for the time being. After we have trained, I will definitely give you a chance to make contributions. Now you don't have the conditions to pursue. Just give it a try. What's more, you have shot many enemies and picked up so many broken... broken... quite rewarding!"
I almost wanted to say "broken goods", but finally clever and changed "broken" to "preterally". Zhao Jin ordered to reward Xiao Yu and Qi Jin. From then on, the whole army was single-minded and continued to train.
The foreign enemy has retreated, and there is peace in the new city for a while. Zhao Jin attached great importance to the scientific development of production, so that craftsmen can make many agricultural machinery in advance - such as plows, water trucks and rollover parts, which can be combined and used next spring. Zhao Jin also organized craftsmen to excavate and use various production methods, technologies and inventions recorded in ancient Chinese scientific books such as Qimin's Jushu and Mengxi Pen Talk, giving priority to the development of useful machinery for production in all walks of life. Starting next year, the people will open up wasteland and produce and greatly improve the productivity of the Rebel regime, which is a good foundation for the founding of the country!
When winter comes, it will soon accumulate snow. The people who turned slaves were very grateful to the general for a winter of food and clothing that had not been seen for many years. Everyone praises the general's good governance, unites and contributes to the consolidation of the regime.
At this time, three generals, Li Da, He Anping and Wuda, led many lieutenants and invited the generals to be king and formally establish the country.
There are a lot of tedious things to be king. Zhao Jin became embarrassed, thought for a long time, and then said to everyone: "Guys, it's not that I don't like to be a king, but at least it's not the time yet. Don't you see, how many Rebel leaders have been eager to be king together since ancient times, but how many of them can be maintained? We should not learn from those grass bandits who occupy one or two barren mountains and hills and call themselves kings. We should learn from the far-sighted Zhu Yuanzhang - building high walls, accumulating grain widely, and slowly being king.
"Zhu, Yuan, Zhang?" Everyone became confused and looked at each other in consterspect. Now that the Song Dynasty has just destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, who knows Zhu Yuanzhang?
"Ah!" Zhao Jin noticed that he slipped and hurriedly said, "In a word, let go of this matter for the time being!" You know, according to my policy, we should go all out to training and production now; and we should keep a low profile and not expose our strength to alert the surrounding countries! So, let's talk about the king later! I have made up my mind to disperse the meeting!"
Everyone had to retreat. He Anping went out with the crowd, waited for a moment, and then came back.
"What else do you have to say?" Zhao Jin saw He Anping and took a breath of cold air. Among the generals, He Anping is the best at government affairs. Zhao Jin valued him and compared him to Xiao He. But He Anping was originally a Confucian and talked the most, and Zhao Jin was a little afraid of him.
At the beginning of the uprising, Zhao Jin wanted to be brothers with the generals, and He Anping once advised him harshly: "Those who did not help the rebels in the past dynasties are all made by unclear orders, lax discipline, irregular rules and guidelines! Since ancient times, there have been kings and ministers who have been together, and those who have won the world; those who have been called brothers have won the world have never been seen in ancient times!" - This sentence is sonorous and powerful, and still echoes in Zhao Jin's ears. Indeed, Liu Guanzhang's "Taoyuan Three Conclusions" only exist in the Romance, and Qin Qiong's "one-word side-by-side king" is even more illusory. Zhao Jin thought carefully that the lesson of the failure of the uprising army of all dynasties is indeed a few points He Anping said: first, their orders are not clear, which often cause chaos; second, their discipline is not serious, so they are free and scattered; third, their rules are not established, so they do not distinguish between the top and bottom, do not know awe, and cultivate proud soldiers. Even the bad atmosphere; 4. If their outline is not established, there is no clear development direction, so most of them become bandits and can't achieve great things.
After the establishment of the regime, He Anping repeatedly advised Zhao Jin and confided his advice. Zhao Jin has adopted it. But I don't know what he will say today?
"Lord." He Anping saluted deeply and said with a deep worry, "Originally, outsiders should not care about the master's housework. However, the Lord's action will inevitably worry the public.
What? Are you going to talk about housework this time? Zhao Jin couldn't help taking a breath of cold air: "What did I do wrong? You tell me that as long as it makes sense, I will change it.
"Lord forgive me!" He Anping knelt down and kowtowed hard.
Zhao Yu hurriedly left his seat to help each other: "Please get up quickly! If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I know that good advice is good for doing, and I will definitely not blame you.
He Anping got up and said very seriously, "As far as the last general knows, the lord took a maid of honor called Hui Niang as his wife, and he was not close to the rest of the women. Do you dare to ask if there is such a thing?"
Zhao Jin opened his mouth and said, "Yes, there is... Although Hui Niang is a little lower and older, she is very virtuous! Very good at taking care of people..."
"Since he is virtuous, why do you favor it? Lord! It doesn't matter if you are born low, and it doesn't matter if you are old, but it's very harmful to spoil it!" As He Anping spoke, he knelt down again and burst into tears: "Lord! Although the last general knows that since ancient times, it is difficult for those who interfere with the housework of the master to have a good end! However, in the end, I dare not to repay the kindness of the Lord's rebirth! Finally, I can't bear to see the Lord blinded by a woman, which is wrong with national affairs!"
At present, He Anping choked and cried bitterly. Zhao Jin was at a loss and said repeatedly, "I know, I know! Of course, I can listen to opinions for state affairs. But you really misunderstood. Hui Niang is really good. I'm not deceived by her! Where does the nuisance start? Of course, I know your loyalty very well. Let's discuss it. Get up and talk about it quickly!"
He Anping nodded, and then kowtowed repeatedly, still refusing to get up.
Zhao Jin was helpless and had to say, "Why don't you do this? Don't suspect Hui Niang. I can guarantee that she has no bad intentions. If you really think it's not good for me to be with her... Then I can move out of the palace and live in the barracks, and I can also study martial arts with everyone? Zhao Yu said, feeling depressed. In fact, I don't want to leave the gentle hometown of the palace, but when the regime has just been established, people's hearts are the most important. In order to win people's hearts, it's okay to leave temporarily.
"Martial arts is just a skill of partial generals." He Anping said another old word. I can't help it. Although he comes from the grassroots and has relatively few rules and regulations, after all, he is also influenced by the scientific atmosphere of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he thinks that the general is not very useful for practicing martial arts. This is contrary to Zhao Jin's view. Looking at ancient and modern times, Zhao Zhen feels that martial arts is very important to the great heroes of the founding of the country. The pioneers of several major dynasties in China, such as Tang Taizu, Song Taizu, Ming Taizu, Qing Taizu, etc., from the ancient Alexander and Caesar to BolĂvar, Washington in modern times, etc. Aren't these great heroes all good at charging? If the force is weak, you will die as soon as you rush, and if you are ambushed, you will die. Can you still make contributions? However, these principles don't have to fight with He Anping. Let's seek common sense and reserving differences. After all, He Anping can also do some martial arts. Unlike some great Confucians who don't know martial arts at all, he at least supports Zhao Jin to exercise martial arts in order to strengthen his body and protect himself.
After repeating the old sayings, He Anping said again, "As the people want, the general will be the king in the future. Don't you have to prepare for a rainy day now?
"Yes, yes. How do you prepare for getting up and talking? I promise to think about it." Zhao Jin only needs to persuade He Anping to get up. I really can't stand the rich emotions of the ancients, and they often cry to death.
"The general should take more young women and give birth to a noble son early." He Anping said this sentence that shocked Zhao immediately, and then admonished each other with tears: "If the lord of a country has no heirs, the army will be dispersed and the country will be in danger!" In the end, I will be so important that I don't dare to tell you!"
It's been a long time, so it is! Zhao Jin was dizzy and sat down on the throne.
The matter of He Anping's admission to the ado spread. Within a few days, all the generals came to adore that Zhao Jin could not only spoil one or two women, but must accept girls who are suitable for pregnancy, give birth to early and have more sons.
Previously, Li Tu, Xiao Qian and others personally saw that Zhao Jin recognized the six daughters as their sisters, and had the demeanor of a gentleman who was not confused, and spread this as a good story. Everyone compared Zhao Jin with Zhao Kuangyin, the legendary big hero of the Song Dynasty, and admired him very much, but they couldn't help worrying about the future heirs of the lord.
"The lord is not lustful, we know it in detail. However, in the long run, it is not conducive to the establishment of the country. Even Li Dian said so.
Zhao Jin was speechless, shouting injustice in his stomach, and said to himself, "Am I not good? How do you know? No matter what I can't do, I can't be lustful! You know, these days, how much determination and perseverance I have to barely resist Ajiao's full house**! Practice martial arts diligently every day, do you know what it is for? It's all for distraction! It's because I know that I have a great responsibility and I'm afraid of delaying state affairs! Now you all say that it's not good to mislead the country like this?!"
"Although the lord is a person who cultivates immortals, since he enters the world, he must eat the fireworks of the world. Food and sex, as long as the master is not addicted to it. You should know that lust is not harmful to hegemony, as well as Henkel and Wei Wu. Qi Jin, who was quite knowledgeable, took out the lustful Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Wei Wudi Cao as examples and also came to nag.
Zhao Yu is going to faint even more. The statement of "Immortal Disciple" was originally because Zhao Jin could not explain his origin, so he had to be so nonsense to play an inspiring role at the beginning of the uprising. Unexpectedly, the generals believed that this was the reason why the general did not spend it! What a self-binding cocoon.
The generals are constantly admonishing outside, and Zhao Jin is very concerned. Unexpectedly, there was a close maid who followed Zhao Jin and transmitted the matter to the inner palace. Hui Niang knew that with her gentle temperament, she would not splash; she was afraid of causing trouble to Zhao Jin, and she would not hang herself; she also understood the reason and would not hate He Anping for misunderstanding her; she would stay calm and would not blow the pillow wind to affect the master. What should I do? Hui Niang could only get up in the middle of the night, look at the snowflakes falling outside the window, and sighed deeply: "Bitter..."
Zhao Jin fell into domestic and diplomatic difficulties for a while, and it seemed that it was impossible not to make a change. If you are poor, you will change. If you change, you will change. Zhao Jin thought over and over again whether it was appropriate to have children when he came to a different world. This is a serious question!
Originally, the idea of "responsibility" was deeply rooted in Zhao Jin's mind. In the real world, the problem of men and women is relatively simple, because there are very convenient contraceptives, and Huahua has no responsibility. The alien world is different, and flowers are prone to problems, so Zhao Jin has always been worried and insists on not spending. But now, it seems that the mountains and rivers are exhausted without spending, and it is really impossible not to spend. The generals are very difficult to deal with, and this problem of heirs is inescapable after all. Hui Niang's silent distress bothered Zhao Jin more than her voice.
After repeated thinking, Zhao Jin finally made up his mind. All right, let's flower! No flowers are dead, and the future is the era of flowers!
