Chapter 31 Scientific Expedition (II)

Li Chengxiu has been a member of the Ministry of Rites for several years, and has been responsible for inspecting the examination room many times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info According to the regulations, non-Zhigongju is not allowed to read the papers, and Li Chengxiu is not qualified to read the examination papers, but when he usually inspects the examination room, he often pauses to look at the candidates' answers, scores them from the bottom of his heart, and has a small addiction to Zhigongju.

Over the years, the examination papers he has read have already been calculated by hundreds, and most of the candidates who took the exam have no exception focused on poetry, using poetry to impress Zhigongju and obtain good results. The answers to the questions are all based on the examples of the previous dynasty with some modifications. He had read an answer on water control before: The answer sheet analyzed in detail the experience of Li Bing and Wang Jing in water control, and synthesized their water control plans to answer the answers.

Li Chengxiu was disdainful in his heart: Li Bing and Wang Jing are undoubtedly sages in water control, and their experience and methods in water control are indeed worth learning from. However, one of them is a figure in the period of King Zhaoxiang of the Warring States Period, and the other is a figure in the period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, all of whom have a history of more than 500 years so far. There is no innovation at all, it is a cliché, and the C-class results have reached the top, and you still expect to be lifted?

Looking at it all the way, although the answers are different, they are all the same, and there are very few that are truly innovative, until they saw Pei Min answering, Li Chengxiu's eyes were shocked.

The words are methodical and innovative, and the key to controlling the water of the Yellow River is the key to desertification control, and the writing is clear and clear. In particular, the method of controlling water and sand is unseen and unheard of, and it is by no means an ancient method. The other party's writing is reasonable and well-founded, and even if Li Chengxiu can't judge whether it is really feasible, he is still full of shock.

Pei Min saw that the examiner was shocked, and he was very proud in his heart: this water flushing method does not need the support of science and technology, it is just an advanced and scientific means of water control, and it is completely possible to use it in the Tang Dynasty.

The Yellow River has been known as the mother river since ancient times and is the most important birthplace of Chinese civilization. However, the ferocity of the Yellow River is also well known, and if this method of water flushing sand is really implemented, it will benefit hundreds of thousands of people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and it will benefit for thousands of years. Not only the Yellow River, but also any river whose flow reaches a certain limit, including the Yangtze River.

Pei Min doesn't stay on the topic of water control, and he has the big killer weapon of the water flushing sand method, which is enough to deal with this problem.

Next, he considered the second question, how to effectively prevent border troubles.

Since the beginning of China's historical records, border troubles have always been a topic that cannot be bypassed: the dog Rong, Shanrong, and Di people of the Zhou Dynasty; the Xiongnu of the Qin and Han dynasties; the Wuhu of the Jin Dynasty; the Turks and Tibetans of the Tang Dynasty; and even the later Song Dynasty's Great Liaoxi, Xia, Jin, and Mongolia; The Warat, Jurchen, etc. of the Ming Dynasty were the most important border troubles, and these border troubles made the border people overwhelmed. If you are not careful, you will even make the huge Central Plains Dynasty let the border troubles be occupied by foreign races, thus destroying the country.

The harm of border troubles and the serious illness of the country are particularly important. How to prevent it has been a top priority in all dynasties.

Pei Min thought about the current border troubles of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks in the north, the Khitan and Xi in the northeast, the Tubo in the southwest, and the Nanzhao in the south......

After pondering for a long time, Pei Min couldn't think of a reason. Is it to set up defense areas like the Song Dynasty and assist in defense at all levels? Or is it like the Ming Dynasty to garrison heavy troops on the frontier and rely on checkpoints to guard?

He shook his head and vetoed in his mind: the military system is different, and neither of these two methods is suitable for the Tang Dynasty......

Tang Dynasty, Tang Dynasty!

Pei Min's heart suddenly moved, what the Tang Dynasty was proud of was not that it was strong in foreign wars! If this is the case, why should we prevent border troubles?

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was worried about border troubles? During the period of Tang Taizong, how could he care about border troubles?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat the Huns with their heads and rats, and Tang Taizong wiped out almost all the border troubles...... During the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty during that period, could there be a side trouble?

Pei Min integrated the ideas in his mind, and suddenly started writing, the reason why the border troubles exist is because the national army is not strong, and the deterrence of foreign races is not enough, if you can be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu will be uprooted from their homeland, if you can be like Tang Taizong, Tuyuhun will not accept Tuguhun, the Turks will not obey the Turks, and Gaochang will not obey Gaochang, how can there be any external troubles......

Pei Min thought about this, and wrote with his pen in his hand: "The weak and the strong eat, the way to survive." If the alien race is like a wolf, if my Central Plains is weak like a sheep, the disaster of the border is unpreventable, and if my Central Plains is fierce like a tiger, and the alien race is afraid, there is no need to prevent it. The country cannot be shocked without a strong army, and the four are not afraid of the border troubles......"

The best defense is offense, if you want the country not to be harmed by border troubles, defense will always be passive, offense is the king, and strength is the truth.

If there are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who are invincible everywhere, come to kill an enemy, come to 100,000 to kill 100,000, and even be able to go on an expedition of thousands of miles, such as the Tang Dynasty to destroy Tuguhun, the Turks, and the Gaochang accident, why worry about the border troubles.

Thinking of the current corrupt government and military system in the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min once again wrote about the reform of the military system, and at the same time added something more: Ma Zheng!

If you want to really confront the Turks, Khitans, Xi people, and Tibetans, Ma Zheng must not be pulled down. In the face of a nation on horseback, without the support of a strong cavalry, it will always be at a disadvantage in the field.

Pei Min's disadvantage here is not that the foot soldiers can't beat the cavalry, in fact, there are not many cases where the foot soldiers win the cavalry. He was referring to the disadvantage in speed: the cavalry lost the battle, scattered and fled, what did the foot soldiers take to chase? And what about the foot pawn who lost? There is only one ending.

For this reason, many examples of wars in history are that the Han people won the battle against other races, and killed more than 1,000 enemies, but once the Han people lost, it was tens of thousands of deaths.

In order to take advantage of the battle against the aliens, Ma Zheng must develop.

In the face of the mess left by the Sui Dynasty, he actually had the courage to promote Ma Zheng and make Ma Zheng prosperous, the key is not to compromise the national strength like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: in his memory, during the Taizong period, the peak military horses of the Tang Dynasty were 700,000, and all expeditions were fought, and the cavalry was rotated by three horses, and the foot soldiers were assigned one horse to enhance the speed of marching. Throughout the ages, the Central Plains Dynasty was only able to get this technique in the early Tang Dynasty......

Pei Min did not expect the current Tang Dynasty to be like the Taizong period, but at least the cavalry had a war horse, not a mule instead.

After writing what he thought in his heart, Pei Min checked whether there were any errors or omissions in the words and sentences: there is enough time, if there are mistakes or omissions, you can rewrite a copy, so as not to inexplicably subtract points.

When the time came, Pei Min handed in the answer sheet, and the three-day scientific expedition ended here.

In the three exams, Pei Min thought that he had played well and was very sure in his heart, but the result depended on He Zhizhang's conclusion after reading the papers.
