A few tooth generals drew out the obstacle knife as they walked, and the sharp and narrow obstacle knife was too dazzling, even more so for He Shanhu. He really didn't believe that he would be killed before, the dignified seven-rank military attaché was not low in the martial arts sequence of Great Wei, although Xu Zixian's identity was more noble, but this was not a reason why he could kill his subordinates at will, it would cause an uproar and cause a lot of trouble.

But this little white-faced prince did not have the hesitation and the slightest cowardice as he imagined, and directly ordered Ya to kill himself in the future.

He Shanhu looked at Wu Weisan, Jin Baoyi and the others, as if they were looking at the terrible soul-inducing force that came over, his eyes moved back and forth on the body of the obstacle knife and teeth, the throat was rolling, and the mouth was also dry, and the other people were already frightened, and they didn't react at all.

There is a stench around, and someone is scared of incontinence.

He Shanhu shouted: "Junhou, Junhou, it was His Royal Highness King Zhao who instructed him to make trouble for Junhou, not that the villain and Junhou couldn't get by...... King Zhao, this is an old trick......"

Jin Baoyi grabbed He Shanhu's bun, Wu Weisan grabbed the bun of another Xiang Jun, everyone didn't hesitate, if Xu Zi wanted to listen to it first, or if he wanted to keep the person in front of him, he could just say a word, and if he didn't make a sound, there was no need to pay attention to it.

Grabbing the bun with one hand, and pressing He Shanhu's head down, He Shanhu struggled hard, but he was a wine-colored hollow body, and the original martial arts were average, Jin Baoyi was a strong martial arts general picked out by Xu Yingbin back then, and he had no conditions and ability to hollow out his body over the years, and he was still in the prime of life in his thirties, and he easily pressed He Shanhu down with only one hand.

Everyone looked at everything in front of them dumbfounded, and the mountain people were sluggish with a little happiness, they really didn't expect that they and others would come forward and insult them, and the newly appointed defense envoy would really kill He Shanhu, a thief?

The van soldiers looked at each other even more, and the things in front of them were beyond the scope of their imagination, many people seemed to be expressionless, but in fact, their heads were empty, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

This defense envoy, the Marquis of Great Wei, was very kind when he came up, without any angry expression, and he didn't seem to have considered the matter of the new official taking office at all.

Not only did they not beat or scold anyone, but they were also willing to give everyone false slips and travel expenses, and let the officers and men of the Xiang Army leave their current garrisons and go home...... Where can I find such a good official?

But I didn't expect that less than a quarter of an hour later, the deputy commander who was still at the gate of the village to greet the defense envoy with a smile on his face was already facing the end of being beheaded at this moment.

There are also a few henchmen of the deputy commander, and it seems that their lives are also in danger.

The hundreds of people in front of them were all dressed up because they had to welcome the new chief officer.

The cyan van army uniform, fat jacket, iron mesh boots, some wear armor, and most of them are ordinary jackets.

The Fan Yang hat on the top of the head is a unified system, this kind of military hat is issued every three years, during which it is lost and damaged and has to find a way to buy a new one or sew it up, the van army in front of him, no matter what, the robe and hat are basically the same, a bit like an army.

The long guns, barriers, bows, crossbows, these things are very bad, the ordnance is poorly maintained, and they are all inferior goods, and the weapons of the Great Wei are mixed, in addition to the long guns, iron spears, knives and other things, as well as boring, long forks, long sticks, long axes, etc., are all shoddy, and they look useless.

Such a group of people, there are hundreds of people, but they are standing on the side, not to mention Baohe Shanhu, I am afraid that if I go in now, I will drag dozens of them out to be killed, and these people can only wait for death in a daze.

"What a bunch of rubbish." Fang Shaoqun didn't like to look at killing, his eyes were looking at the van army, and when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but scold softly.

"The purpose of the Xiang Army is ......wrong," Xu Zixian said categorically: "When Taizu established the system, the forbidden army was mainly in the field, the main garrison of the Xiang army, on the battlefield, the forbidden army broke through, and the Xiang army assisted, or defended or defended, which was the help of the forbidden army." Taizu didn't say that the Xiang army had to be responsible for repairing the city wall, building roads, building bridges, repairing tombs, the various defense battalions stationed in various places, the number of military supplies and the number of forbidden troops, etc., and also had to be responsible for logistics, transporting grain and grass, guarding the military material warehouse, and even escorting important prisoners, all of which had to be done by the Xiang army. Moreover, the recruitment of the Xiang army is mainly to appease the local area and prevent trouble, so it is better to say that the Xiang army is an army, but it is a collection of criminals, homeless, scoundrels, people and bankrupt people, how can such an army fight? In fact, the box army can't even do logistics well...... During the Taizu period, the forbidden army was the main attack, and the box army was defended, all of them were the same army, to build bridges and roads, supply logistics, either mobilize and merce people, or use baggage, and now there are still soldiers, but the number is too small. ”

When Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty founded the country, in the face of the strong pressure of the emerging northern captives, the forbidden army was deployed before and after about 600,000 people, and the box army had as many as 800,000 people, and the whole team was 1.5 million, and more than 500,000 people were mobilized in the first battle of Yehuling alone.

This is the beginning of the Great Wei Dynasty, 500,000 people who fought for decades and were extremely well-equipped.

Later generations paid attention to the 200,000 forbidden army and the 300,000 box army, but they forgot that there were still tens of thousands of soldiers.

The army and the northern captives encountered in Yehuling, the early construction of the sentry tower, the wooden fence, the construction of a number of roads in a short period of time, and the construction of a number of trenches to prevent the heavy cavalry raid of the northern captives, this is the credit of the soldiers at that time.

The soldiers are quite professional, and they are proficient in transportation, engineering, and blasting, and they are considered professional engineering troops.

A large number of people are the supplement of the army, the law of the Great Wei State was strict at the beginning, Taizu had a high prestige, and the mobilization of local forces was quite reasonable.

The first battle of Yehuling, mobilized 17 prefectures, more than 160 counties of the people, a total of more than 700,000 people, the people are endless, the military supplies transported are also endless, the terrain of Yehuling is steep, the transportation is difficult, the Beiyu can not hold on for too long, and in the face of the pressure of the Wei army, it is not easy to withdraw before the battle, the stalemate is not against the national strength of the Great Wei, and at that time in the Yunzhong and Jiyan area, the Great Wei still has 300,000 forbidden troops, and the 500,000 Xiang army is advancing with the support of millions of people, giving great pressure to the Beiyu, forcing its main force to fight.

At that time, the Beiyu had just risen to the top, wiped out all the hostile tribes on the grassland, and eliminated the power of the Li family of Xingling's Jiedu, and at the same time the soldiers pointed westward, all the way to destroy countless countries, until the flower thorn Zimo, at the same time the war Beiyu obtained a large number of craftsmen and resources, the strength of the army was rising, and when it was hostile to the Great Wei, the Beiyu had the color eye servant army obtained from the west, plus the grassland cavalry and the northern servant Han army, the total number was about 500,000, and its main elite was the grassland cavalry, with more than 200,000 people, Divided into more than 200,000 people, of which 50,000 or 60,000 people are heavy cavalry with men and horses in armor, there are many craftsmen in the north, the weapons are very sophisticated, and the war horses are even more numerous, unlike the Wei army, the war horses are scarce, and the number of cavalry is insufficient.

Both sides are emerging forces, in the fierce collision of the Northern Captives were finally defeated, its emerging momentum was interrupted, and then a hundred years later slowly eased up, even so, the Xiqiang also rose, the Northern Captives occupied the grassland territory, as well as some places in the Western Regions, established a number of khanates, Xiqiang occupied a part of the Western Regions, as well as the hometown of Qingtang and Tubo, and then entered the Xingling area, which became a great disaster in the western part of the Great Wei.

Xu Zixian thought about it, if the current situation was changed to a dynasty that was not powerful, I am afraid that it would have been destroyed long ago.

Unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Beiyu was forced to weaken under the policies of smallpox, Huangjiao, and Ding reduction, this trend of decline is the general trend, inevitable, and non-human can be reversed.

At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, the luck of the Northern Captives was forcibly cut off, and the consequences were quickly restored, and the current Northern Captives can not be compared with Donghu, but compared with the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mongolia is still a lot stronger, the territory is also larger, the strength is stronger, there is no internal contradiction that cannot be reconciled in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although it is divided into a number of khanates, but it is too far away to be unified into a state, and its khanates have a strong centripetal force on the suzerainty on the grassland, and will make regular pilgrimages, such a grassland force, in fact, is quite large and terrifying.

As for Donghu, it is a collection of Jurchen, Khitan, forest people and many other fishing and hunting peoples, due to the existence of the Bohai State, its civilization level is much higher than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, because of the good bow and arrow, not afraid of life and death, coupled with the inheritance of the Bohai State and Goguryeo's civilization remnants, the Donghu people are stronger than the Beiyu, the soldiers are more elite and good at fighting, and they are more united politically, not as loose as the Beiyu, and are the strongest enemy of the Great Wei.

The Western Qiang is a collection of the Qingtang people, the Qiang people, the Tubo people, and the Tuyuhun people, as well as some people from the Western Regions, who are not as vast as the Beiyu people, and are not as strong and daring as the Donghu people, but they also have elite warriors, and they generally have a tough character.

Not afraid of failure, not afraid of death, the Qiang and Tang people who believe in the Yellow Sect are not so strong, but they are tough and difficult to suppress easily.

Any force, when placed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, was difficult to suppress and strong.

Don't say that the Tang Dynasty got rid of the Turks and eliminated Goguryeo, Li Shimin had no way to take the emerging Tubo, and later the Tubo and Tang fought for a hundred years, and the land in Songzhou and other places was soaked in the blood of the soldiers of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.

For more than 400 years before and after the Han Dynasty, there were troubles of nomads, of course, with the strength of the Han people, it was never a big trouble, but the territory of the Han Dynasty was not as large as that of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiqiang, Donghu, and Beiyu, these three major forces seem to have opened a golden finger with the intention of putting the most difficult and vicious enemy in Chinese history in a time and space.

Of course, it may also be a kind of revenge, the Great Wei Taizu is like a parallel time and space traveler, forcibly suppressing the northern captives who have just emerged, crippling the Xingling forces, destroying Goguryeo and half of the Bohai Kingdom, and now it seems to be the revenge of the heavens, the Great Wei is the economically stronger Song, the political Tang and Song Dynasty combined, the military strengthened version of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the territory is the larger Northern Song Dynasty that occupied half of the Western Xia and recovered the sixteen states of Youyun.

The Great Wei Dynasty had about 150 million people, 600,000 forbidden troops and millions of Xiang troops, hundreds of millions of financial revenues, the center was not as chaotic as the Northern Song Dynasty, the military and political system was stable and more reasonable, and there was a conflict between the imperial power and the relative power, but it did not reach the point of irreconcilability.

Such a dynasty, if it were not for the presence of strong enemies on many sides, and even the presence of pirates in the seventeenth century, I am afraid that the enemies of any side would not be an opponent.

For the collapse and fall of this dynasty, Xu Zixian has been unable to figure it out before, and recently gradually realized, if you must find someone to take the blame, the Son of Heaven from Xuanzong is the biggest backer, followed by Xu Zixian is thinking, the Great Wei is a manifestation of the Chinese civilization to the extreme, there is the prosperity of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, the people are open, and the industry and commerce are developed. There is also a more harmonious official system between the center of the Tang Dynasty and the locality, and the strength of the forbidden army can suppress the Beilu and Donghu Jiaxiqiang at least in the first hundred years before the founding of the country, and the prosperity of martial arts is not under the strong man.

If you must find the root cause of the fall of the Great Wei, in addition to geographical reasons, Xu Zixian feels that the Chinese civilization is quite excellent, but there are deficiencies in the core, and the Great Wei Taizu has considered making up for the shortcomings, such as setting up schools to eliminate illiteracy, enriching the officials, changing the situation that the regime does not go to the countryside, and the trial of the Criminal Division and the Three Law Divisions, Taizu has expressed respect as the founding emperor, that is, to try to respect the status of judicial officials and establish their responsibilities.

In addition to the great council that had not yet been established, there were also schools that were not large, new knowledge had not appeared, and newspaper supervision was not satisfactory, and the Great Wei Taizu had already done as much as he could, trying to optimize and change the core of civilization.

It's a pity, it backfired, judging from the current situation, the dynastic cyclical rate did not escape, the Great Wei was still limited to a strange circle of Chinese civilization, after the establishment of the dynasty for a certain period of time, the Son of Heaven was weak, the political structure was rigid and lacked vitality, the lack of responsible politicians, the army and the loss of combat effectiveness, the emergence of strong enemies and internal friction, due to external pressure forced to increase the internal search and pressure of the country, which eventually led to the country's smoke everywhere, and finally either perished the country internally, or was destroyed by external enemies.

Why is this happening, Xu Zixian didn't quite understand, and even thought of this, his head hurt......
