Chapter 63: Doing it for nothing
Taishan County Academy has attracted no math students because of Cai Yong's joining, and most of these people are poor students, after all, the purpose of Taishan Academy is to teach without class, as long as they are willing to learn, they are willing to teach. Of course, Cai Yong alone can't survive, Su Xiu found some people with good knowledge from the local people and refugees in Taishan to fill in and assist Cai Yong's teaching.
Ever since the paper books were printed in batches and sets by the craftsman's workshop, there has been a lot of applause in the academy. Not only students, but also those who have a little insight can deeply appreciate how great the benefits of this new style of books are, and it can be said that it is a major reform of education.
Of course, Su Xiu did not increase the printing, except for the books needed by the academy, he only printed some literary classics, trying to avoid the appearance of rare books in later generations. In addition, there are military classics such as "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "The Art of War" and so on.
His books on the art of war were mainly learned by the grassroots commanders of Mount Tai, and many of the soldiers who entered the barracks in these years were illiterate, let alone the art of war. But as a modern Su Xiu, and he is also the president of the company, how can he let the grassroots commander not understand any theory?
People say that the art of war is dead, people are alive, and if there is only theory and no actual combat experience, that is to talk about war on paper, but if there is no theoretical basis at all, then this general can only be a grassroots level for the rest of his life, because he cannot grasp the fleeting fighter plane.
Therefore, Su Xiu sent all the grassroots commanders above the rank of chief in the entire Taishan County to Cai Yong to read and write.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the first year of Zhongping (184 AD).
The development of Taishan County in the past two years can be said to be changing with each passing day. Now there are more than 15,000 farming households in Taishan County, nearly double the number when he first took office. Coupled with the business drive of the Mi family and Su Shuang, Taishan is already a small family.
More importantly, in the past two years, the main road of Mount Tai has been almost completely repaired, and it only takes half a day to reach it from south to north. The transportation is convenient, and there are more merchants coming and going from the south to the north, which will drive the economic development of Mount Tai from an all-round way.
Taishan's economy has developed, but recently Su Xiu has been worried. Because he knew very well that the first year of Zhongping was the beginning of the decline of the Han Dynasty, and a large-scale peasant uprising broke out across the country - the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Su Xiu is well aware of the impact of the Yellow Turban Uprising on the Han Dynasty, it can be said that this is both turmoil and opportunity, if you grasp it, it will be more smooth sailing in the future, and if you can't grasp it, you can only eat bran vegetables.
As soon as the New Year passed, Su Xiu began a large-scale military exercise. Of course, the location was chosen in the mountains and forests, and it did not let too many people know the strength of Taishan County. The purpose of the military exercise is to let himself and his generals see how much strength he has, after all, Su Xiu's previous exercises were all small-scale exercises, and he had never concentrated all the troops at one time.
And this military exercise made Su Xiu feel a lot more at ease, a full 50,000 horses, distributed in the mountains and forests, I don't think it, once gathered, Su Xiu himself felt quite shocked. Fifty thousand people stood in front of him in unison, and that monstrous momentum was enough to deter the vast majority of regular elites.
Among them, the wolf tooth is undoubtedly the most eye-catching team, although the number is the smallest, less than three hundred, but these hundreds of people are the most elite soldiers in the entire Taishan, if you pull someone out of it, the military quality can be qualified for the military Sima or even higher positions.
Su Xiu was very happy, his efforts in the past few years have not been in vain, the soldiers recruited from various cottages have now changed their faces and taken on a new look, and the wolf tooth battalion he selected is even stronger of the strongest, not to mention that if these 50,000 horses are pulled out, they will definitely be able to scare a large area of the earth emperor.
In February of the first year of Zhongping, because of Tang Zhou's informant, the imperial court learned the news of Zhang Jiao's rebellion in advance, and Ma Yuanyi, the generous leader of Zhang Jiao, was executed. Zhang Jiao was forced to revolt in advance on March 5. He is known as the 'General of Tiangong', his second brother Zhang Bao is known as 'General Digong', and his third brother Zhang Liang is known as 'General Rengong'.
Suddenly, Zhang Jiao's 36 square Qu Shuai gathered to respond, wrapped their heads in yellow scarves, known as the Yellow Turban Army, and began to attack the county officials, the Han court officials were defeated and fled, and the Yellow Turban swept the world for a while.
The imperial court was shocked when they heard the news, so they sent the Beizhong Lang general Lu Zhi to lead the army to attack the Yellow Turban Army of Zhangjiao in the Jizhou region, and the left Zhonglang general Huangfu Song, the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun, and the cavalry captain Cao Cao led the troops to attack the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army.
When Xi Zhicai learned that the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, he couldn't calm down, not only Xi Zhicai, but the entire core layer of Mount Tai was shocked. Of course, what shocked them was not that someone was engaged in a peasant uprising, but that Su Xiu had foreseen the outbreak of this uprising a long time ago.
Xi Zhicai knew that as early as five years ago, when Su Xiu still had nothing, he said the possibility of a rebellion in Taiping Dao in Yingchuan Academy. And now that Su Xiu's prediction has really happened, and it is almost exactly the same as what Su Xiu said at the beginning, this makes people have to be shocked.
"The Lord is really a man of God!"
Xi Zhicai looked at Su Xiu and said with a shocked face. Although Xi Zhicai has always respected Su Xiu over the years, after all, Su Xiu does not have much military talent to show, and just a few battles against bandits are not enough to watch, and these are not enough to completely conquer Xi Zhicai.
But this time is different, Xi Zhicai knows very well that this time it is to confirm the vision of a male lord, and to see the overall development of the future from a little detail, so as to make targeted responses, this is the political mind that a lord should have.
As a qualified monarch, you can have no strategic mind, you can not have the force to rush into battle, but you must not be without vision and courage, otherwise you can only be annihilated in the long river of history.
Xi Zhicai is a good learner, four books and five classics, and he dares to say that it is rare in the world to be the art of war, but he does not have this vision, or he does not have the courage to guess such a bold move. So he can only be a staff member, and he will never become the master, and this time the drama is really convincing.
"Zhicai, don't praise me, what do you think we should do now? Immediately send troops or stand still? ”
