Chapter 929 [Junior General]
"I told you that you walked out of this big tent today! You all stand aside, I will fight with him alone, life and death, if I lose, you will attack him in groups, and you must be killed in Furo! Qubei said loudly.
"No!" More than a dozen knifemen crossed the perimeter of the tent, blocking the way.
"Just you?" Yu Fuluo's eyes revealed a scorn of contempt, "Don't forget jΓ¬, I'm the number one warrior of the Great Huns, can you beat me?" β
"King Zuoxian, you have been hanging this warrior for more than twenty years, and it is time to change the master. Twenty years ago, you took it from my father Uli, and now, I want to take back the title that belongs to my Dugu Department from your hands! "Go and howl.
"So you're Uli's son! No wonder it looks so familiar! Twenty years ago, I picked your father's tesuji, and today, I'm going to pick your tesuji again! Let the horses come! Huvro shouted loudly.
He didn't answer, changed a scimitar in his hand, and rushed over with an arrow step.
Yu Furo was not timid at all, and raised his sword to face the battle.
"Zheng!"
The two of them had a duel in the big tent in an instant, and you came and went, and they couldn't hold each other.
After more than 20 moves, Yu Fuluo's strength gradually deteriorated and he was at a disadvantage.
After thirty moves, Qubei already had an absolute advantage, taking advantage of Yu Fuluo's slow movements, he chased and slashed over, and blood was splashed on the spot.
"Ah...... My ears ...... My ears ......," cried Huvro, covering his ears and his hands covered in blood.
"It seems that you are really old!" After saying that, he slashed at it with a knife.
Yu Fu Luo raised his knife to resist, but he used too much force to go to Bei, and directly cut off Fu Luo's knife. The cold blade slashed at Huvro's neck, and a human head flew out with a "whoosh", and blood immediately gushed out.
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty! When all the warriors saw this, they shouted at the same time.
Carrying the head of Uvro, he proudly walked out of the tent, and at the same time thought to himself, "Father. I'm humbling and avenging you! β
Hu Chuquan waited outside the big tent with people, and the cavalry surrounded the big tent, fully armed, just for fear that something would happen. When he saw the head of the man carrying Euvro come out of the tent, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers behind him to be unguarded.
"Right Virtuous King, Yuvro is dead!" Go-humility held up the head of Yuvro and shouted loudly.
Thereupon. The whole tribe of the Right Virtuous King began to cry out loudly, and they were all very happy that Yuvro, who had been oppressed on their heads for a long time, was dead.
Hu Chuquan took it to Bei, wrapped Yu Fuluo's head, and walked straight towards Shan Yuting. Entering the royal court of Da Shan Yu, Hu Chuquan and Qubei knelt down on one knee, bowed to Qiangqu and said, "Da Shan Yu." Huvro's head has been brought! β
After saying that, Yu Fuluo's head was thrown at the feet of Qiangqu.
Qiang Qu glanced at the bloody human head wrapped in a red-dyed cloth. He sighed, shook his head, and said, "What could be more uncomfortable than losing a child in old age?" β
With that, he waved his hand and motioned for the servant to take the head. Followed by. He raised his hand, pointed to a golden knife placed on the table, and said to Hu Chuquan: "This Haori golden knife is something that has been passed down from generation to generation of my Luanti clan, and it has risen and fallen for hundreds of years since Maodun Dashan unified the various Xiongnu tribes. Today I will deliver this Haori Golden Knife to you. I'm old, this big single position is also granted to you, the future is the era of your young people, get along well with the Yan country, maybe my Xiongnu will become the same tribe as Karasuma, and be trusted by the Yan country. β
"Big order in ...... I keep it in mind! β
"Go, set off tomorrow, go to Jicheng to be sealed!"
Yu Fuluo's death, did not cause the left and right tribes to fight, the Huns to the strong respect, knowing that after killing Yu Fuluo, to Bei became the first warrior of the Huns, this kind of duel, very common, even if it is a noble, will not cause the two tribes to fight because of personal duels.
The next day, Hu Chuquan announced that he would take over as the Xiongnu Dashan Yu, with bright helmets and bright armor, dressed in military uniforms, and led the princes and nobles and the leaders of the various departments to worship the ancestors of the gods in the solemn shrine, and offered rich sacrifices, and the oxen, sheep and horses that had just been slaughtered were carried on the altar. They prayed earnestly to the guardian god of the Huns, the god of the sun and the god of war, the god of the moon, to bless the prosperity of their tribe.
After the sacrifice was completed, Hu Chuquan let people be buried in Fuluo with the gift of the prince, and after that, he took the Bei and the leaders of the tribes to Jicheng, and entrusted this place to his father, the predecessor of the Xiongnu, Da Dan Yu Qiangqu management.
More than a month has passed since the Great War in the Central Plains, but the problems left over from the war have not been eliminated in a short period of time.
Jia Xu sat in the Central Plains as the governor and stayed in Yanzhou, and Lin Nan entrusted him with all the military and political affairs of the entire Central Plains.
In the city of Changyi, in the palace of the former King of Wei, Jia Xu sat in the hall to review official documents, scouts came and went, and he never stopped holding the pen from morning to night.
At this time, Bian Xi walked in from outside the hall, and as soon as he entered the hall, he immediately withdrew everyone, walked straight to Jia Xu's side, hugged his fists and said, "Governor Qiqi, the matter has been done." β
Jia Xu immediately put down the pen in his hand and hurriedly asked, "How many are there?" β
"In the whole of Yanzhou, there are a total of 37 of them, which are distributed in different counties." Bian Xi said.
Jia Xu pondered for a moment and did not speak again.
"Governor, what's next?" Bian Xi asked.
"Kill! Kill them all, not a single one will be left! Jia Xu's eyes shot out two fine lights, and his deep eyes were full of murderous aura.
"One...... One doesn't stay? Bian Xi asked in some surprise.
"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Yanzhou is the foundation of Cao Cao, the family all support him, if you don't use extraordinary means, Yanzhou will have troubles, in order to relieve this trouble, you can only do this." Jia Xu said ruthlessly.
Since the Yan army occupied Yanzhou, for more than a month, the rich squires in Yanzhou have all adopted an indifferent attitude towards the Yan army, and the wealthy families have openly embarrassed the Yan army, they know that Cao Cao has fled to Guanzhong, and they have been thinking about it in their hearts, looking forward to the day when Cao Cao will lead the army to reappear in front of them.
But. This qiΔ made Jia Xu see it, and he asked Bian Xi to lead scouts to investigate these people who secretly supported Cao Cao in Yanzhou.
Bian Xi said: "But these thirty-seven families together, not to mention more than 10,000 people, if they are all killed, is it too heavy?" Otherwise, those housekeepers, maidservants, children and so on will be released, right? β
"If you become a big thing, your relatives can also be killed! With the lives of more than 10,000 people. In exchange for the long-term peace and stability of the whole Yanzhou, I think it is worth it. If you don't do this, how can you stabilize Yanzhou? If Yanzhou is not stable, how can the Central Plains be safe? Jia Xu was fierce, and there was a smug smile on his evil face.
Bian Xi continued to persuade: "Governor, my subordinates are worried that Yanzhou will become the second Xuzhou, and the people of Xuzhou still hold a grudge against Cao Cao!" The subordinates thought ......"
"I know what you're worried about, you're worried that doing so will backfire, right?" Jia Xu interrupted Bian Xi's words.
"Yes." Bian Xi nodded.
"Don't worry. I did this, unlike Cao Cao's slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou back then, this trick is called drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and the people I asked you to investigate are the most influential families or wealthy families in the local area, killing these people who are desperately supporting Cao Cao will inevitably affect the choices of others, so in a sense, this strategy can also highlight the role of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys. Whoever dares to have anything to do with Cao Cao will inevitably be severely punished. Jia Xu explained.
After Bian Xi listened. Only then did he suddenly realize that he said to Jia Xu: "Dudu, the thirty-seven families are distributed in thirty-seven different cities, if you want to avoid leaking the news, I am afraid it will be difficult." β
"Hehe, I've thought about this a long time ago. The officials from all over the country sent by the lord will arrive soon. When they arrived, I asked the soldiers to follow the officers to their posts under the pretext of escorting them to their posts, and then agreed on a time to work together overnight. On the grounds of communicating with foreign enemies, it will be beheaded all over the house, and Yanzhou can be determined. Jia Xu said.
Bian Xi said: "Then leave this matter to me to deal with, after all, to achieve the same time, only the scouts I trained can do such a tacit understanding." β
"Well, you go down and get ready, and wait for tomorrow to meet those officials."
The next day, Jia Xu personally greeted the officials who came to the Central Plains from Jizhou to take up their posts, first set up a banquet in Changyi to entertain them, and then he assigned them to take up their posts, so that these officials could temporarily rest in the post house for a day.
On the third day, Jia Xu sent 1,000 soldiers each to follow the officials to take up their posts.
After another three days, Bian Xi acted according to the plan, and with the momentum of thunder, almost at the same time, he rushed into the homes of the 37 clans and wealthy squires distributed in various counties of Yanzhou, and washed the people of the 37 families in blood, large and small, and did not let go of the livestock.
Overnight, the rich squires and families in Yanzhou were all wiped out, which made the entire Yanzhou shocked.
In the following time, Jia Xu successively implemented several iron-fisted governance of Yanzhou, which made his prestige shake in Yanzhou, and the false praise of the poison man also spread.
However, Jia Xu was not ruthless and cruel, he did not collect the property of the thirty-seven families into the treasury, but distributed the property reasonably and redistributed it to the hands of the people. It is precisely because of this that Jia Xu gradually bought a lot of hearts for Lin Nan and laid the foundation for his long-term rule in the Central Plains.
However, some officials did not agree with it, and sent Lin Nan a flying pigeon to pass the book and tell Jia Xu secretly.
β¦β¦
Youzhou, Jicheng.
These days, Lin Nan will run towards the Hanlin Academy from time to time, and the government affairs are basically handed over to Tian Feng and others, so he has free time to explain the benefits of bearings to those craftsmen.
On this day, Lin Nan was no exception. Early in the morning, when he left the palace, he bumped into Sima Fang, and when he saw Sima Fang's panicked look, he said, "What's the matter, so flustered?" β
Sima Fang hurriedly took out the flying pigeon handbook, handed it to Lin Nan, and said: "The Central Plains, the governor of the military division, ruled Yanzhou with an iron fist, and did not hesitate to brutally kill more than 10,000 innocent people. β
Lin Nan took it and took a look, and said with a smile: "Very good, go to the treasury to prepare a few generous gifts, and let people bring them to this county order, just say that this is a reward given to him by this king." In addition, he also prepared a generous gift for the military advisor, and said that he would continue without any influence. β
"Huh?" Sima Fang was stunned, but he didn't expect Lin Nan to even reward the informant, and even the person who was accused of the informant.
Lin Nan saw Sima Fang's confused face, so he hurriedly explained: "Changyi Ling is not afraid of the high position of the military division. Outspokenness should be rewarded, and such people are hard to find. And the military advisor is just pulling a salary from the bottom of the kettle, although it is a bit excessive, but because of this, he is proud to crack down on those restless people in Yanzhou. It caused a huge shock to their hearts, thus deterring Quanzhou and keeping them away from Cao Cao. So, both of them should be rewarded! β
"No, my subordinates understand, let's do it when I sleep." After Sima Fang heard this, he suddenly realized and retired.
"Wait...... In addition, I asked Chen Lin to write a letter to Jia Xu in my name, asking him to promote this Changyi Ling to be his deputy. Such people should not be buried. Lin Nan remembered something important, and hurriedly shouted.
"No!" Sima Fang responded.
Lin Nan asked again: "Karasuma and Xiongnu are the closest to Jicheng, do they have any news?" β
"Lord Qiyu, the Huns' Dadan Yu has been replaced by Huchuquan, and he is currently leading the kings of the left and right and the palace nobles of the Huns to Jicheng. Karasuma's big order, Yu Qiu Liju, has already arrived in Yecheng and is currently arranged to rest in the post house. β
"Very well, let's wait a few more days. Let Qiu Liju and his son Lou Ban also reunite, and wait for when everyone will come. I will meet you at any time. β
In the following half a month, Jicheng has been actively preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and Lin Nan also drafted some talents to participate in the ceremony, and asked people to build a heroic monument on the square in the center of Jicheng City, engrave all the names of the soldiers who died in the Central Plains War, and further appease the families of the deceased.
The seventh day of the ninth month. When there were still two days before Lin Nan officially became emperor, the leaders of the Xiongnu, Karasuma, Fuyu, Goguryeo, and Sanhan summoned by Lin Nan and the princes and ministers all arrived, plus the officials from all over the country selected by Lin Nan entered Beijing to participate in the ceremony, the whole Jicheng was very lively, and many ordinary people from the surrounding counties continued to come. It was to watch the grand ceremony, which brought huge business opportunities to the business in Beijing.
In the main hall, Lin Nan sat there and looked around at everyone present, some of whom he knew and some who he didn't, but no matter what, these barbarians all offered different gifts after hearing his call, which shows that Lin Nan's influence is by no means ordinary.
"Ladies and gentlemen, kings, city lords, and leaders, you are very welcome to come to Jicheng, some of you are far away, some are near, I am afraid that you are already impatient to wait, and those who are late may still be complaining about why I don't give you a chance to breathe. But whether you come early or late, today is the first time I have officially received you at the same time, and it is also the time to enthrone you. β
Everyone looked at each other, all thinking about what kind of person Lin Nan would reward them, and they were immediately attracted by the words given to Lin Nan, and they all looked at Lin Nan intently.
"I am about to be called emperor, once I am called emperor, you will all be my people, and you are all members of my Yan country, and you have the same power as the Han people, and you will not be discriminated against, so I want you to give up all the old titles and become officials according to the official positions provided to you by my Dayan, I don't know if you are willing?" Lin Nan asked.
Qiu Liju was the first to stand up, made a Han salute to Lin Nan, and said, "Karasuma has already merged with Yan Guo, advancing and retreating together, and is willing to accept the reward. β
Immediately afterwards, the former Goguryeo prince Yiyimo also expressed his willingness to obey Lin Nan's dispatch.
Later, only the Huns in Huchuquan were still hesitating.
"Hu Chuquan Da Shan Yu, have you ever thought about it?" Lin Nan asked impatiently.
When Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, in his impression, he didn't seem to have mentioned his birthday to Lin Nan, it seemed to be said unintentionally, but he didn't expect that Lin Nan could remember it so clearly when he said it inadvertently.
He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, last month was indeed my birthday, but this month is also, because this month is a leap month, so this year, the minister will have two birthdays." β
Since Lin Nan came to this era, the months that have been used in his environment have been the lunar calendar, although the year of the Common Era is now used, but the specific month and day he cannot calculate, so he has been using the lunar calendar. If you want to achieve the complete unification of the Common Era, you will only know it after you have contact with the West, because the Common Era was invented by Westerners, not unique to China.
However, Lin Nan has long been accustomed to the lunar calendar, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter divided into the lunar calendar are indeed very accurate. It's just that as a modern person, he is still accustomed to using the A.D. era, and in the current society, only the older generation really uses the lunar calendar to live. What Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, these are all calculated by the lunar calendar. But it is also a major feature of the East.
Although the difference between "leap month" and "leap year" is only one word, the meanings contained are very different.
After listening to this, Lin Nan remembered that this month was a leap October, not November. One is negligence, almost making a big fuss, otherwise wouldn't it be one month less a year?
"Lord Taiwei gave me a wake-up call, and in my memory, I thought this month was November."
Jia Xu said: "It's okay, as long as the ministers have a good heart." And all the official documents that are issued now are leap October. However, His Majesty does have something he wants to talk about to His Majesty, and it is inconvenient to talk about it in the court during the day, so he can only bring it up to His Majesty in this way. β
"What's so mysterious? You just say it! β
Jia Xu bowed first, and then said: "It's about His Majesty's marriage......"
"Marriage?"
"Yes, now that His Majesty has ascended the throne as emperor, the ministers are all saddened by the death of the princess. However, as the king of a country, there are only two people in the harem, the queen and the concubine. It is inevitable that there will be a little less, and the ministers are planning for His Majesty and for the country, and they all feel that His Majesty should choose a few more concubines to enrich the harem and spread out for His Majesty. β
Lin Nan listened. I couldn't help but think secretly: "This kind of thing the ministers also have to ask?" β
Jia Xu continued: "Your Majesty, the minister also knows that the death of the princess must have left a big shadow on His Majesty, and now that the queen and the concubine are each carrying a little prince, Your Majesty is really tired. You should find a few more concubines to serve your majesty's daily life, so that your majesty can soothe your mood. Now all the waste is waiting to be revived, the whole country is united, Jizhou is a little more stable, but it is also striving for further prosperity, the Central Plains is also becoming more and more stable, and it is time to enjoy a few years of family fun. When his national strength is strong, he will wave millions of troops, sweep the eight wildernesses, and dominate the world, which will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort. β
Lin Nandao: "You don't have to be in such a hurry, right? β
"Hurry! Really urgent! Now the Manchu Dynasty civil and military want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, there are countless beauties to be married in the family, according to the minister's knowledge, there are no less than sixty-seven families, this is still known by the minister, and the minister may not know more. So much so that many people's eyes are staring at His Majesty's harem, and there has been no marriage in the entire Jicheng for several months, and many men are still singles, and in the long run, it will inevitably affect the population problem of Huaxia. His Majesty encourages more children and more children, but now that this phenomenon has appeared, how can men be embarrassed? β
After Lin Nan heard this, he was embarrassed for a while, he didn't expect his charm to be so great, and he actually provoked the girls in the entire Jicheng City to be reluctant to marry, and moved his eyes to his harem. However, he was soon able to understand Jia Xu's intentions, which was to let him marry a few concubines quickly, stabilize the harem first, and calm down those who were delusional, which would also save some time and cause some crimes.
"I understand what you mean, but now that I have ascended the throne as emperor, who doesn't want to marry their daughter to me to enjoy glory and wealth. However, how did they know that my harem was only a little stronger than that of ordinary rich families, and even Shisun Rui's family was not comparable. β
Jia Xu said: "But outsiders don't know that it is precisely because the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces first drove this kind of atmosphere that it will spread more and more, so that the daughters of rich and poor families in the city will not marry for the time being, and they will refuse to come to the door to propose marriage." If it goes on like this, it will definitely not work, so his majesty tried his best to let His Majesty marry a few more concubines. For example, the daughter of Taiwei Lu's family is very good, and she is also beautiful......"
"Do you also know that the daughter of the Lu Zhi family is beautiful? This is the second time I've heard of it. It's a pity that Luohua is deliberately ruthless, and Taiwei Lu doesn't seem to want to climb high......"
"Huh? Why is Captain Lu unwilling? β
"How do I know, people just don't want to anyway, maybe they think that once they enter the palace, it's like the sea, in short, they don't want to, and I don't have that mood, and I haven't seen it, and my personal preferences are different."
Jia Xu let out an "oh", with a sly smile on his face, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, there is a daughter under the courtiers, who can be said to have the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, no worse than the cicada concubine, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to see it?" β
"I've known you for so long, haven't I heard you have a daughter?"
"It's not my daughter, it's a minister...... In short, she is a beautiful woman, and she is to be dedicated to His Majesty. β
"In that case, I'll see you."
Jia Xu smiled, turned around and shouted loudly outside, "Miss Lanlan, please!" β
Order. After a while, I saw a woman in exotic clothes walking in from outside the hall, with a veil hanging on her face and door, and as soon as she entered the hall, she saluted Lin Nan and Jia Xu: "See the two adults." β
Lin Nan glanced at the woman named Lan Lan and saw that she was dressed very explicitly. In this big winter, I am still wearing a summer skirt, how I look like a modern belly dancer, just the right figure, the waist that is not able to be bundled, the towering little arrogant hanging part that wants to tear the clothes and fly, the slender and straight legs, no matter which part of the body, give people a great temptation.
He has been in this world for so long, and it is the first time he has seen people dressed so openly. At the same time, he also concluded that this woman was definitely not from the Central Plains, but from the northwest, because when she spoke, she obviously had a northwest accent, and she was a woman from the Qin Liang area.
"Han women will never dress like this, your accent is biased towards the Liangzhou area. But a Qiang woman wouldn't dress like that, I guess. You should be from the Western Regions. Lin Nan guessed.
Lan Lan giggled, her eyes curved into an arc, and said, "My lord is really good eyesight, Na Lan is indeed from the Western Soil, but my lord is half right." β
"What's your name Nalan? This last name shouldn't be here, right? Lin Nan is still clear about this surname, Nalan is the surname of the Jurchens. At this time, there is not even a tribe called Menhanggu, where did the Jurchens come from?
Lan Lan smiled: "Lord Qiyu, Lan Lan is called Nalan, and there is no more behind Nalan." β
Lin Nan suddenly realized. Forget that Lan Lan is a person from an ethnic minority, a person from an ethnic minority, and his name is definitely different from that of the Han people. He saw that Nalan kept calling him an adult, and it was estimated that Jia Xu did not tell her that he was the emperor, so there was something fun, so he smiled and asked, "Oh, I'm too worried." So why did I only guess half right? β
"Because I'm a Qiang person, but half of my body is from the Western Regions, so my lord only guessed half right."
"Hahaha, I see." Lin Nan laughed and asked, "Can you take off the veil and let me see what you look like?" β
"If you're a man, I'll take it off."
Jia Xu snickered over there, this answer was exactly what he meant.
Lin Nan also looked embarrassed and asked, "Is there any point in this veil?" β
"Yes, as long as anyone dares to marry me, I will take off the veil for him. Because I am so good-looking, many men will kill each other to fight for me when they see me, and I have already had seventeen husbands die on their wedding night, either poisoned or killed, in short, I am the life of a Kefu......" Speaking of this, Nalan couldn't help but cry, and at the same time revealed unabashedly why his seventeen husbands died mysteriously on their wedding night.
Although Nalan is the younger sister of Naliang, the king of Qiang, Xiqiang has rules, and the woman who marries out is the water that is spilled, and her mother's family has nothing to do with her, and whether she lives or dies outside has nothing to do with her family. Therefore, Nalan has seventeen husbands in a year, and the husbands are all brave and ruthless Qiang people, fighting for Nalan's beauty, but every time the strong will die mysteriously on the wedding night, so that Nalan has no man, according to local customs, there can be men to fight again.
It is worth mentioning that Nalan's seventeenth husband was not stabbed to death, nor was he poisoned, but he should have been so happy, and finally no one dared to rob Nalan of him, and he couldn't control the joy in his heart for a while, and when he was about to climb into Nalan's bed on the wedding night, he was so happy that he died, which was really a miracle. Since then, no one dares to fight for Nalan anymore, and the legend of Kefu has made Nalan like a monster and has to return to his parents' house to live temporarily.
Nalan mentioned these things to Jia Xu, Jia Xu was deeply sympathetic, and inadvertently saw Nalan's beauty and Pang Dexin's strong recommendation, so he decided to dedicate this woman to Lin Nan.
"Kefu? I don't believe in Kefu, you take off your veil, let me see your face. β
"Take off your veil and marry me, do you really want to marry me?"
Lin Nan also understood Jia Xu's thoughts, and felt that Jia Xu's intentions were good, and the purpose was to let himself find a few concubines to temporarily stabilize the harem, and the candidate Jia Xu was looking for would definitely not be bad, at least he would not find an ugly girl to harm him, so he said: "Well, I'll marry you." β
Thereupon. Nalan took off her veil, revealing her face.
When Lin Nan saw Nalan for the first time, he was shocked by her appearance, the beauty was indescribable. Judging from today's aesthetics, Nalan is a typical Western-style beauty, and the contours of her face, nose, and skin color are all unique to Westerners. I couldn't help but lose my voice: "What a beautiful ......"
Jia Xu saw that Lin Nan was tempted by Nalan. I am also very happy in my heart, in this way, Nalan will inevitably become Lin Nan's concubine, and if you choose a few more, you can stabilize the harem and dispel the thoughts in the hearts of some people.
So, he judged the situation and took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, that Lan is as beautiful as a fairy." It happens to be the concubine of His Majesty, so it is better to choose a good day......"
Lin Nan didn't wait for Jia Xu to finish speaking, then interrupted him and said, "Then leave it to Lord Taiwei to handle." β
Jia Xu smiled, motioned for Nalan to retreat with his eyes, and then said to Lin Nan: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do." β
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
Jia Xulang said: "Now that the Chinese country has been built at the beginning, it is in ruins. His Majesty expanded his army by another 200,000, but he could not gather weapons and weapons for a while. It should be necessary to expand the production of weapons and armaments, the original steel mills could not supply, and the time and effort required to forge steel was far greater than that of iron smelting. He thought that several steel mills should also be built in the Central Plains to make up for this shortcoming. β
Part of the reason for the strength of Huaxia is reflected in the superb smelting level. Almost every soldier has a steel weapon that is refined, and although the steel cost of steel armor is so huge that not everyone can wear it, at least one-third of the soldiers are wearing steel armor to fight.
Lin Nan understands very well that such weapons and armor. In times like these, it's already remarkable. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and this is the truth.
"Well, yes, tomorrow you can give an order to the Ministry of Industry, first explore the place where there is iron ore in the Central Plains, and build the steel mill on the edge of the iron mine, which is conducive to transportation, and there are many coal mines in the Central Plains, which can be described as unique, and the steel mill can definitely be built."
"No!"
Subsequently, the two of them chatted while eating, and they hadn't sat down and talked quietly like this for a long time, but the relationship between the two of them became closer.
The next day, Lin Nan immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to let Wen Liang, a waiter of the Ministry of Industry and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, preside over the construction of a steel mill in the Central Plains.
In the next few days, Lin Nan gradually became busy, what are you busy with, busy with the matter of choosing a concubine, Nalan is a stable choice, but according to Jia Xu's opinion, there is still a formality. As a result, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty sent their daughters to Lin Nan for him to choose. As a result, Lin Nan carefully selected and finally chose Jia Wen, the daughter of Jia Xu.
Jia Wen is Nalan, Lin Nan specially asked Jia Xu to recognize Nalan as a righteous daughter, and renamed Nalan Jia Wen, in this way, Lin Nan and Jia Xu are equivalent to marriage, and Jia Xu has also become Lin Nan's father-in-law, whether it is in the stable harem or in the court, Jia Xu has become a person who fights against Cai Yong, and it is also recognized that one person is above ten thousand people.
In fact, this was ordered by Lin Nan, and he had to weigh the powerful in the court, and although Jia Xu was called "Poisoner" and "Jia Papi", he had no ambition and was the most loyal to himself, so he was relieved to leave the matter to him, and Jia Xu was not that kind of minister.
In 190 A.D., on the 23rd day of the 10th month of the leap month, Lin Nan, who had just ascended the throne as the emperor, officially accepted a concubine on this day and threatened not to accept a concubine in the future, which made those women who were looking forward to marrying disappointed. So, in the next month, Jicheng will have a series of marriages, which will also make this harsh winter full of spring.
Winter goes to spring, the snow melts, and the spring willows sprout.
In the early spring days, when all around are shining and gradually cracking, the thick water vapor of the melting snow can already smell the smell of warm earth, and where the snow has melted, under the oblique sunlight, the larks sing innocently, and the rapids make pleasant noises and roars, rushing from one valley to another.
In the early spring weather, the land of the Central Plains was in full swing, the people were busy with farm work, and the army was busy with training, all full of vitality.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! β
In a military camp outside Xiangnan City, 3,000 foot soldiers were practicing assassination with spears, and a boy in leather armor was holding a wooden knife and practicing slashing on the side.
"Whew!"
The slash of the wooden knife created a flow of air and made a whirring sound, and the little boy sweated like rain and panted, but he had no intention of stopping to rest.
"The knife must be fast, the knife must be steady, the slash must be ruthless, the attack must be accurate, remember these four points, and practice diligently!" A burly man sitting on the edge of the tent watched the little boy wield a knife and kept scolding.
"No!" The boy struggled to brush the knife, his arm was almost unable to lift up, the knife style was slightly wrong, the burly man picked up the whip and began to whip him, although the force was not very heavy, but for the child, it was indeed a shame.
"Smack!"
The big man raised his hand and whipped it, but instead of hitting the child's body, he struck it on the ground, leaving a long whip mark on the ground.
"Hand up! Just like you, still expect to go into battle and kill the enemy? I really don't understand what the tun chief thinks, just let me cook on the fire, and let me take a child with me. The big man scolded in front and complained in the back, with an extremely unhappy expression on his face, staring at the soldiers who were training, envious.
The little boy glanced at the big man, threw the wooden knife to the ground, and shouted: "If you don't practice, you're tired, practice like this every day, no matter how you practice, you won't be made up, just burn the fire and cook." β
"Ma Yi! You little bunny, you dare to pick on me? You've been learning the knife technique for a few days, and your wings are stiff, aren't they? When the big man saw the boy pat his ass and walk into the big tent, he hurriedly stood up and shouted and scolded from behind.
The boy's name is Ma Yi, but that is his pseudonym, his real name is Sima Yi, and the word Zhongda. Since Sima Yi joined the army last year, because of his young age, he has not been able to enter the regular army, and he has always been a supernumerary.
Here, Sima Yi met this man named Deng Xiang, Deng Xiang is a few years older than Sima Yi, a native of Runan, originally participated in the selection of military attachΓ©s, but unfortunately missed the time on the way because of some things, came late, and finally could only join the army, so he became a pawn, and was assigned to the head of the army.
"You brag all day long about how powerful your sword skills are, but you only taught me these four knives, for three days in a row, I have slashed more than a thousand times of those four knives, and you don't teach me new ones, and I am tired of practicing. Look at those people, they have a whole set of marksmanship. Sima Yi pointed to the three thousand foot soldiers who were practicing on the school field, and said impatiently to Deng Xiang.
"You know the! This is for you to practice the basics again. Do you know how long my father let me practice those four swords when I practiced the sword? A whole year! One year! These four knives are the foundation of the Deng family's knife technique, only if the foundation is laid, and then practiced, it will get twice the result with half the effort. β
"I don't understand!"
"Nonsense! If you understand, you can still use me to teach you knife skills? You're a little kid, you haven't grown all your hair, and you still want to learn how to fight? With your body, it's just right to practice my Deng family's knife technique. But you're smarter than me, you can practice for half a year, and after half a year, I'll hand over the sword technique to you! β
"I'll hand it in now, I've practiced so well that I can't be familiar with it! Also, I'm not a little kid, my name is Ma Yi, and I have a name and a surname! Sima Yi is now the most taboo for others to treat him as a child, he has been in the barracks for almost several months, and with these rough men, it is inevitable that he will also be affected, so that his personality has also undergone some changes, from a taciturn, young and old child gradually transformed into a rough type.
It is really close to Zhu and red and black to ink, and children are really the most susceptible to external influences in the stage of development and growth.
"You want to learn, right, I won't teach you, hahaha!"
"It's not that you don't teach, it's that you don't dare to teach, I'm afraid that after I learn, I'll defeat you, right?" (To be continued......)
