Chapter 1323: Late Talent
In history, Jiang Wan when he was young was famous and hired by Liu Bei. After Liu Bei entered Shu, he appointed him as the commander of Guangdu. But Jiang Wan can really do it - when Liu Bei inspected Guangdu, he was so drunk that he didn't care about his official business. Now he almost moved his head, thanks to Zhuge Liang's intercession for him, and the argument that 'Daxian is often tired of small things', made Liu Bei not cure his crime.
But after that, I haven't heard that Jiang Wan is drunk. The cattle people who can leave their names in history are all strong-willed people, and Jiang Wan naturally will not trip on the same stone twice. Later, with his own talents, Jiang Wan was gradually promoted, and by the time Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan, he had already joined the army.
It's a pity that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" transplanted his story to Pang Tong. also talked about Zhang Fei's visit to Pang Tong, who was suspected of Liu Bei's overuse and was only appointed as the Leiyang Order, who was drunk and misguided, causing Zhang Fei to beat him up. However, Pang Tong actually dealt with all the government affairs accumulated in a county for March in half a day, which caused Zhang Fei to be shocked and strongly recommended Pang Tong. With such a transfer of flowers and trees, Jiang Wan's image is even thinner.
But for this historical wrongful case, Ma Chao looked at Pang Tong and Jiang Wan, only smiled and said nothing, he really didn't know what to say.
The second Tanhualang is no one else, it is Fei Yi, a native of Jiangxia County, Jingzhou. Fei Yi is different from Jiang Wan, although the two are of the same age, they are both twenty years old, but compared with Jiang Wan, who looks calm, Fei Yi has a more indisputable bearing. Ma Chao knew that this person was the best at governance, so he raised some more questions about the Ma family's recuperation, and Fei Yi obviously came prepared and talked endlessly. However, it seems that out of the arrogance of the scholars, Fei Yi still has some nostalgia for business.
"Why, you look down on merchants?" After Ma Chaokeenly caught this, he asked.
"A little." Fei Yi replied truthfully.
Ma Chao smiled: "Don't look down on businessmen, the dynasty has been heavy on agriculture and suppressed merchants for more than 200 years, and Emperor Xiaowu (Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty) was arrested as a death squad when he saw a businessman, what happened to the businessman?" Is it extinguished? Merchants are the smartest people in the world, they know where the profit is, for the sake of profit, they can risk cutting off their heads, for the sake of profit, they can cross the desert of death, for the sake of profit, they can go to the cannibal tribe to find treasure. For the sake of profit, they can burst out with the most powerful energy and do things that ordinary people can't do. ”
Speaking of this, seeing that Fei Yi's face was still a little unconvinced, Ma Chao immediately brought out an example: "Do you know that when I conquered Yuan Shao, if there was no Jinyang Li Zihao to help him, the 400,000 army might fall apart before he arrived in Youzhou; Without the help of the Zhen family of Wei County, it would be impossible for the Cao family to give up the four counties of Jizhou subsequently; The Ma family can use 40,000 troops to Jingzhou within two years, and without Guan Shanxue retrieving a sum of gold and silver treasures from the Western Regions, I can't afford to raise military funds and grain and grass at all; Without the Ma family's business name all over the world, relying solely on agriculture, it may not be possible for the Ma family to be full of treasury after five years......"
Fei Yi was only slightly moved when he heard this, but from his eyes, Ma Chao could read that he trusted his own words, not the economic power of business. sighed silently in his heart, Ma Chao knew that people like Fei Yi would not be able to change his thinking before seeing was believing.
This is the common problem of cattle people, they always insist on themselves. However, once this kind of person realizes that he is wrong, he will also do his best to act and make amends. At this time, he can open a window for Fei Yi, and after the sunlight outside the window shines on the whole room, Fei Yi will take the initiative to switch over.
The third place is also a native of Jingzhou, he is Dong Yun, a native of Zhijiang, Nanjun, and the son of Dong He, a Zhonglang general under Liu Biao's account. Dong Yun is completely different from Jiang Wan and Fei Yi, he has more of a taste of fairness and fairness. always let Ma Chao see some upright Chen Qun's shadow from this young man.
Dong Yun, who was born in a family of eunuchs, has a bit of a famous demeanor as early as his father Dong He's ears and eyes. Ma Chao asked a few simple questions, and then he had a certain number in his heart, and planned to arrange him for the Dao Criminal Department to experience it first, and then reuse it after his qualifications and abilities came up.
And it wasn't until after ordering this champion, Tanhua, and Bangyan that Ma Chao suddenly discovered that almost all of the four elites of Shu in the future were under his command, except for Zhuge Liang, who followed Liu Bei to Xichuan, he had already won three of the four phases, and if you count Jiang Wei, Zhuge Liang's personal disciple in history, the four of them can play a table of mahjong.
In addition to these top three, there are Guo Youzhi, who ranks fourth in Xianbei affairs, Yang Yi, who writes about military strategy and logistics reform, and is not in line with Wei Yanzong in history, ranks fifth, and Jiang Wan's cousin Liu Min ranks sixth...... Pang Tong's cousin Pang Shanmin ranked ninth, which should be a blow to him, when it comes to talent, Pang Shanmin's erudition is quite the style of his father Pang Degong, but unfortunately although his knowledge is solid, he is not very proficient in practical policy theory, full of paper and floating, compared with Pang Tong, too little yin and yang to rely on the way, naturally not into the eyes of Ma Chao.
On the whole, this time, the children of the scholars still accounted for the majority, and the thirty students in the palace examination were all taken up by the students of Chang'an Taixue and Yingchuan College. After all, their families have the conditions, books, and teachers, while the rest of the agricultural, industrial, and commercial groups do not have these conveniences. However, among the 100 jinshi, there are finally more than a dozen non-scholar students, which is a gratifying change for the Ma family's imperial examination.
Of course, in Ma Chao's impression, there are still a group of cattle in Jingzhou who did not appear in this imperial examination. For example, Ma Liang, who is the best of the five constants of the Ma family, has excellent diplomatic ability, and in history, when Liu Bei was on his expedition to the east, he recruited Wuxi barbarians, and all the barbarians obeyed Shu Han, and then sent many envoys to Wu.
There is also Liu Ba, the first economist in the Three Kingdoms period, who was also a native of Lingling, Jingzhou. This person is very talented in business, and his ability to control the overall situation is almost no less than Xun Yu under Cao Cao...... Such characters, Ma Chao didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly issued an expropriation order, forcibly dragging these people into Chang'an. If you don't comply, hehe, without Ma Chao's hands, Sima Yi, who is idle in Chang'an, will use countless methods to let them know how serious the consequences of making Ma Chao angry.
However, compared with the bumper harvest of liberal arts, this martial arts move is a bit of a chicken rib. There are two reasons for this, one is that the famous generals in the late Three Kingdoms period were almost all controlled by the Wuluo family, such as the descendants of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, who simply shined in the late Three Kingdoms period; And the Sun family is also relatively good, and the sons of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also competitive. As for the rest, most of them are reckless tough guys, in Ma Chao's opinion, he always feels that the food is tasteless and it is a pity to abandon it.
After all, with Ma Chao's strong crossing, the battle mode of this period has long been very different from history. The invention of the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral stirrup, as well as the birth of the Sutetsu blade, increased the combat effectiveness of ordinary knights by more than 30%. When the ensuing branches of the military and various battle formations were brought into full play, fighting a war had become an art. Individual prowess is no longer too important.
At the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the army was not very strong, for example, during the Yellow Turban Uprising, it was just a group of peasants with nail rakes and shouting and charging. In that case, it was easy for all kinds of masters to break into the camp with one enemy in one place, but now, a person who wanted to do such a thing was simply looking for death, facing a well-trained army. Relying on individual strength and without the cooperation of the whole army, it will not work at all. Even if it was Lu Bu, if he encountered the heavy armored cavalry under Xu Huang, even if there were only five hundred people, not to mention that he broke through the siege, even if he could support it for an hour or two, it would already be considered extremely remarkable.
This is also the second reason why Ma Chao regrets that those martial arts warriors who are skilled in archery but lack military training.
However, the cripple picked a general, and Ma Chao still gained some generals with very good qualifications. For example, Biqiu Xing, who was born in a martial arts family, although his martial arts are not high-class, he has his own understanding of the art of war; and Hu Zun, this guy is also a good man in Liangzhou. The last one is praised by Zhuge Liang as Xiaochang's military favorite, because of his ancestral home in Xiangyang, he was included in Ma Chao's pocket, and the funny thing is that this guy participated in liberal arts......
Of course, there is also Liangzhou Wang Shuang, this is a famous fierce general in the late Cao Wei period, and his performance in the late Three Kingdoms period was extremely eye-catching, and he once killed the Shu Han generals Xie Xiong and Gong Qi, and severely injured Zhang Wei, who was famous. In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, he was a very rare one to shake the enemy army with the strength of one person, except for Wen Yuan.
But Wen Yuan, this guy... His father, Wen Qin, was only four years old at this time, and Ma Chao was speechless.
And some really famous generals in the later period, such as Lu Xun, are already fifteen years old, but unfortunately they have been trapped by Sun Cexu's relatives; Deng Ai, who has just come out of her mother's womb; Zhong Hui, the son of Zhong Xuan, and Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun, destroyed Wang Jun of the Wu State, and at this time they were not even fertilized eggs; As for Lu Xun's son Lu Kang, as well as Yanghu, who established a revolutionary friendship with Lu Kang, and Du Yu, the successor of Yanghu, it is even more far away......
Faced with such a situation, Ma Chao gritted his teeth, and his decision: Since he can't find it, he will train it from the military academy! Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu, Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu, Pang De's son Pang Hui and other guys, but without the luck of their fathers, they don't have the opportunity to ride into the camp. Real military ability, it really doesn't have to be bad there!
