Chapter Seventy-Eight: Education

The thin young man was surprised when he saw Changsun Hong as if he had seen a ghost, and he was a little strange, out of politeness, he still said: "In Xia Ranpu, today is the first time I have met with Brother Changsun. ”

Eldest Sun Hong took the initiative to lean over this time, and then asked, "But Ran Pu from Kuizhou Road?" Do you have an older brother named Ran Jin? ”

"Exactly, my family is in Banzhou, and my brother Ran ...... in the family" Ran Pu said a few words before he reacted, looked at the eldest grandson Hong in amazement, and said strangely: "How does the eldest grandson know the situation of my family?" ”

"It's not important, Brother Ran, the names of you and your brother will be famous in future generations!" Changsun Hong became excited, patted his thigh and sighed, the celebrities in history are in front of his eyes, how can it not be exciting?

The Southern Song Dynasty resisted Mongolia and could continue for decades, and the weak Southern Song Dynasty court could hold on to the much stronger Western Xia and Jin regimes than themselves before the Mongol bulldozer-like offensive for a longer time, and the indecision of the Shuzhong battlefield like a meat grinder was an important reason, and the general performance of the four-way barrier in central Sichuan could achieve and even drag to death the great achievements of a Mongolian Great Khan.

It is this skinny boy who put forward the defense plan of building a three-line seventy-two mountain cities along the mountain in Shuzhong four roads, of which the important eight cities are known as the "Eight Pillars of Anti-Mongolia", which were adopted by Yu Jue in Sichuan, as a general strategy for defending Sichuan, relying on the rugged terrain to offset the cavalry and archery tactics of the Mongols who are invincible all over the world, taking the mountain as an obstacle and the city as a point, the large and small mountain cities are like pearls sprinkled with jade plates, which are embedded in the vast southwest mountains, and the scattered defenses are firmly strung together as a whole, and the mountain cities rely on each other. Supporting each other, showing solidarity in every place in trouble, formed a solid line of defense that was almost impossible to break.

In fact, the Mongolian iron cavalry could not break through the defense line in central Sichuan, and in desperation, they opened another battlefield to break Xiangyang, and crossed the Yangtze River to the south of the river to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, but the resistance in Sichuan did not stop, and the last Sichuan envoy insisted until Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the last little emperor of the Song Dynasty on his back, and there was no hope of recovering the country before opening the city and surrendering.

Of course, that was decades later, and now Ran Pu is still a teenager, and he probably hasn't formed the big pattern of turning the world into a chessboard in his mind.

"Uh...... Afterworld? Ran Pu smiled stiffly: "Can the eldest grandson brother be unpredictable?" ”

Changsun Hong also froze for a moment, knowing that he was speechless, he hurriedly fooled him with haha, and talked about him left and right.

"Brother Ran's family is in Banzhou, why did he go to Hezhou hundreds of miles away to study? It is important to know that there are many cities on Kuizhou Road, and there are also many schools, so why bother to seek far? Changsun Hong asked casually, he had to find a topic to resolve the embarrassment.

Ran Pu was really taken away by this question, and he sighed: "Brother Eldest Sun doesn't know, Banzhou is located in a mountainous area, close to Miao Jiang, there are many Miao people in the territory, barbarians are mixed, and it has not been domesticated since ancient times, and it does not understand Chinese and does not know the law and discipline. The Great Song Dynasty Xuanhe three years of the Nanping Army, appointed the chief as an official, only slightly attached, but for decades back and forth, has been arrogant, the chief Yang family is similar to the emperor of the soil like a domineering, my family was a fallen official eunuch, living there, my father felt that this is not a way in the long run, there is an idea of migration, so he sent me here, to seek refuge with relatives, for the future. ”

He also said: "My relative's house is on the cross street in the state city, and the mansion surnamed Ran is, they are in the paper business, and everyone in the owner family who asks Rui Fuxiang knows that it is easy to find, and the eldest grandson brother has something to look for me, and he can go over at any time." ”

The eldest grandson Hong wrote it down, and Xindao had time to have a good chat with Ran Pu, this is a figure who changed the course of history, and he is very awesome.

Not long after the two chatted, the master who was in class came, and a thin old man, when he saw the commotion in the house, immediately turned his face, blew his beard and glared at the one-foot-long ring ruler to "pop", so as to calm the noisy teenagers.

The class in this era is not like the later generations, where there is a fixed class time of 45 minutes, but according to the mood of the master, when the mood is good, it is the norm to not get out of class for one or two hours, and the students have to hold back when they pee. When the mood is bad, let the students study by themselves after a few random words, and leave.

In class on this day, the thin old man surnamed Zhang also heard that there was a prodigy who was praised by Zhizhou in the class, and he had the heart to consider it, and the lecture picked up the jerky and difficult scriptures, and the vocabulary was extremely obscure.

The afternoon class was replaced by archery, the six arts of the gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics, in the Southern Song Dynasty, readers had to learn, but it was a selective teaching, focusing on some and ignoring some, because central Sichuan was located on the front line of the fight against Western Xia, and the school here taught archery and royalty.

But teaching is to teach, learning is different from person to person, bows and arrows and horses will not be provided by the school, you need to prepare your own, bows and arrows are easy to obtain, the shop has from the consistent to more than 100 runs, or you can go up the mountain to cut some bamboo and find a craftsman to spend some money to make a bow that is not so beautiful, the arrow is simpler, straight bamboo and branches can be used. But horses are hard.

One of the cheapest dwarf Sichuan horses or Dian horses, the market price during the reign of Li Zong was more than 100 yuan, which was about the same as the price of cattle, and the average medium-sized family could not afford it, and only the wealthy families could buy it, so the Lianxi School mainly taught the method of archery.

This thing is very simple to say, it is difficult to practice, archery pays attention to the waist and the root is stable, emphasizing the strength, the arms are exerted while maintaining the accuracy of the direction, the mentality, strength, eyes, and even the breathing when the arrow is fired are the key points, to train a qualified archer, it is impossible to practice without years.

Of course, Changsun Hong, who has never been exposed to such high-end skills, has used a gun to hit targets twice in later generations, and those are all spent money to play in the shooting range, which is different from archery.

Li Wen used Li Wen's bow, Li Wen could only look at it, and he could only take it when he was tired of playing. Archery is an extremely important martial art in the era of cold weapons, more lethal than the knife and marksmanship of hand-to-hand combat, there is a saying that after a battle, more than half of the battle dead are shot by crossbows, which shows the power of bows and arrows.

Changsun Hong understands this truth, in the era of war, it is very important to learn a life-saving technique, he practiced very seriously, very hard, standing and opening the bow for an hour, during which he did not even put down his hand, so that the onlookers frequently looked sideways, and felt that the prodigy really had the perseverance of ordinary people.

The first day of school life was a bit of a twist and turn, but on the whole it was pleasant and fresh, which made Changsun Hong very satisfied, met new friends, learned new skills, and gained a lot.

When school ended, the Tianban went the earliest, which was inconsistent with the end time of the Xuanban, so Mo Changbin and the others did not meet with Changsun Hong, saving trouble.

The three brothers of the Li family followed the ferocity of the fight with the eldest grandson, and once again saw the importance of talent, and the picture of the students of the heavenly class surrounding the eldest grandson Hong as a filial son worshipping his birthday gave them a great shock, and for the first time they admired the eldest grandson, and on the way back, the three of them followed behind the eldest grandson like a rare follower, pestering and grinding to ask him to make a drunken and down-and-out song for the three brothers.

Of course, the eldest grandson hung their appetite ambiguously, humming haha, but he didn't say yes or no, so he walked to the Li family.

Seeing that the meal had not yet arrived, the eldest grandson Hong broke out three of his knots and returned to his house.

Li Jin was still working hard to fulfill his duties as a scholar, and only the dog was pouring water into his stomach in the house.

While he was drinking with a big teapot, he saw Changsun Hong who pushed the door in, so he put down the clay pot bigger than his head, wiped his mouth, and said excitedly with a fortunate expression: "I heard about it, Erlang." ”
