Chapter 198: Disgusted by the White Horse
Although the idea of going to the Tatar tribe outside the Saiwai to spy on intelligence was temporarily dispelled, the motivation to study did not slacken, but grew day by day.
Every day, he still finds time to learn Mongolian in the afternoon and after dinner, and goes back in the evening to read Mongolian books, and the Mongolian pharmacopoeia is almost finished, and he can already try to write some Mongolian prescriptions.
At the same time, he also calculated in his heart that what medicine can be synthesized with some rare and expensive medicinal materials outside the plug, because these medicinal materials flow into the mainland relatively rarely, and these medicinal materials are not used in the general prescriptions, and there are several prescriptions recorded in the Mongolian Medicine Pharmacopoeia, and I think it is not good enough, the rare medicinal materials used in the prescriptions are too extravagant, not to mention, the medicinal effect is not necessarily good, the rarer the better, the more expensive the better, but the real need is good, especially the compatibility of monarchs and ministers, it is a science.
At that time, the person who developed this prescription must have been a famous doctor outside the Saiwai, and he may not be able to get some ordinary medicinal materials in the mainland often, so he had to replace them with those rare medicinal materials as if he were a loser.
It's like a big winter, a person wearing only clothes made of gold, and a pile of pearl agate, which looks gorgeous, but in fact it is not as good as an ordinary cotton jacket.
He found Zuo Ling at breakfast and asked if he could buy those rare medicinal herbs. He is still in charge of business, and he doesn't know what medicinal materials are bought and sold in Zuo Ling's pharmacy.
Zuo Ling was taken aback when he saw those lists: "These are only seen occasionally, and they are all found in remote areas." It's not in the inventory now. Why are you studying medicinal herbs again, won't you have to study prescriptions again? ”
"That's true. However, if the medicinal herbs are too difficult to obtain, there is no point. Besides.
He is now different from practicing medicine, not prescribing a few prescriptions, but a prescription that can be made in large quantities.
"Don't want to go to the Tatars and harm people?" Zuo Ling smiled.
These days, she and Xiao Nier are also thinking about Fa'er's persuasion, and besides, it is useless, and they sent a letter to Chen Musa, that is, Zuo Ling secretly asked Ji Chang to use the sixth guard of brocade clothes to send out a hundred thousand urgent military information through the military department, which is of course a typical fake public and private interest, and it is a serious violation of the regulations.
This kind of thing is also feasible, the person in charge of sending the military intelligence report in the Ministry of War pinched his nose and passed it when he saw the name of the sixth guard in Jinyi, and the Ministry of War did not want to provoke the first tyrant in the capital, who let the family have the support of the emperor, and a few cabinet scholars to help the abuse.
Besides, he always said to Zuo Ling and Xiao Nier that it was enough to plague the capital, and they should go to the outside of the city to plague the Tatars, and let them taste the power of the first tyrant in the capital.
"Lord Zhang doesn't allow it, saying that there are still good places waiting for me in Beijing, and now I can't do without this place." Besides, he smiled bitterly.
Zuo Ling was overjoyed, he hadn't received a letter from Chen Musa and Pomegranate in the past two days, and he was worried, and when he heard this, he immediately guessed that it must be Chen Musa's reply that Zhang Juzheng forcibly detained him.
"I thought about these medicinal herbs, and it seems that someone has a way to buy them. In the past, we didn't have much place to use these herbs, and I didn't care about it, sometimes I bought them and sold them as tonics. Zuo Lingdao.
"Tonics?" And glare.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Ling was startled.
"It's blind, these medicinal materials can indeed be used as a great tonic, but they can only exert the greatest medicinal effect when combined with other medicinal materials. It's not just a tonic, it can be a life-saving medicine. Besides.
"So? Then I'll let people inquire about it. Zuo Ling was excited, if he researched a magic prescription, it would mean that another gold mine was excavated, and now Zuo Ling basically made money by researching more than a dozen prescriptions in Suzhou, and the profit of the medicinal material business was not high, after all, there were medicinal herb shops everywhere, and only their medicine was the only one in the country.
What's even better is that if you are obsessed with the study of prescriptions, you won't think about how to toss blindly every day, and you won't think about going on an expedition outside the plug.
"If you inquire about those herb dealers, tell me that I want to meet them and have a good talk in person." Besides.
"Okay." Zuo Ling did not doubt that he had him, and agreed.
Moreover, it suddenly occurred to me that those medicinal herb dealers should also be like the Salt Gang, they should be able to freely enter and exit the Tatar tribe to purchase medicinal materials, they should have a safe road map, local contacts or something, if they can get these, wouldn't there be another way back.
Of course, these medicinal materials are also what he really wants, not just a disguise.
These days, he has been practicing equestrianism, and his students have 6,000 people practicing equestrianism every day, after all, horses need to rest, and if this kind of high-intensity training comes every day, people can stand it, but horses can't stand it.
Besides, he doesn't have this concern, the royal horse is a Pegasus, a maxima, and he doesn't care about his training of this intensity.
He was still riding the brown royal horse, and the white horse that had been hot for a long time still refused to let him ride, and after two attempts, he overturned him, and then ran around him in circles, proudly expressing his nobility and extraordinary, and spewing hot air on his face, and almost implementing Wu Zetian's policy: whips, awls, and knives.
But he didn't dare, even if these imperial horses were rewarded to him, he didn't have the right to kill them, let alone give them up at all.
"What's the difference between this white horse and a brown horse, why does the brown horse seem to be able to communicate with me, but the white horse can't?" Besides, ask Ji Chang.
"It's hard to say, people and horses, sometimes we have to talk about fate, maybe this brown horse has a relationship with adults, and that white horse has no relationship with adults. It's about the same as between people. Ji Chang said with a smile.
In Ji Chang's eyes, these royal horses are indeed the same as people, even more noble than ordinary people, they are the emperors of horses, they naturally have their own natural arrogance, showing their natural nobility everywhere. It may be difficult for people to develop such a sense of superiority.
Besides, he looked at the white horse and was ruthless: "Let you get the meat, and then you have to kill and eat meat." ”
The white horse was indifferent to this, and ran away with his long silver mane, and his four hooves swayed easily, as if he were flying in the air.
The brown horse, ignoring the white horse's contemptuous eyes, ran over and rubbed his huge nose on his body, and the long horse's face could see the flattering and intimate look.
Ji Chang and the others laughed, this is really fate, this brown horse is no less than the white horse, but the attitude of the two is diametrically opposite.
Besides, I'm discouraged, and I don't plan to play any white horse whistling west wind style, so let's ride this brown horse honestly.
"You'll be called a Wind Chaser from now on." Moreover, the brown horse was solemnly named.
The brown horse shook its huge head and kicked small pebbles, as if it was not satisfied with the name, perhaps because it was too vulgar.
Besides, smile bitterly, how good is the name of Chasing the Wind Horse, when you hear it, it is a name that only Pegasus is qualified to have, and you still dislike it?
"Then the Blitzkrieg." Besides, I changed it.
The brown horse nodded at the huge horse's head and rubbed his sleeve with his face.
"Haha, does it really understand?"
Ji Chang and several guards were as if they had seen the most incredible thing in the world, which was simply a fantasy.
"Okay, lightning is lightning." Besides, in fact, he thinks this name is quite vulgar, his favorite is the five-flowered horse, but unfortunately these heavenly horses are pure and colored, and there is no miscellaneous hair, and he doesn't know what kind of horse the five-flowered horse is mentioned in Li Bai's poem, it is estimated that it cannot be such a heavenly horse.
Five-flowered horses, daughters, and Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you.
Forget about the golden qiu, if it is the imperial horse of Emperor Xuanzong, who dares to take it out and exchange it for fine wine, it is not looking for death, you just dare to sell it, and no one dares to buy it.
What is eternal sorrow? It's good to be able to figure out the affairs of the family, what do you want to worry about for eternity?
Besides, now I know that it is not easy to run a family, the secret war between Zuo Ling and Li Xiangjun is still there, and he has no way to mediate, fortunately the pomegranate is not here, if Zuo Ling and the pomegranate collide like this again, he really has to become a monk.
The ancients said that governing the country and the family level the world, and it is too difficult for a family and a clan to settle everywhere.
He thought about it and sighed with emotion, this is nothing to do, although he was still unwilling to give up the idea of going to the outside world, but thinking of Zhang Juzheng's attitude, he retreated, and only a little unwilling remained.
Now the training of the troops is basically carried out in an orderly manner, and the cavalry he selected is also doing well in practicing equestrianism, and in the end, although the equestrianism is not as good as that of the nomads, it is not too bad.
What if 12,000 elite cavalry fought against the main Tatar force? Is there really no hope of winning?
He always has some disbelief, the Han people have never been weaker than any nation in terms of combat power, the expansion of territory in the Western Han Dynasty has proved this, the Western Han Empire defeated all the surrounding enemies, and it is precisely because of this that people at that time dared to shout: Those who offend my Han will be punished even if they are far away.
After that, no one in any dynasty would dare to shout this, even if they held back enough strength to shout it, they lacked confidence and couldn't do it at all.
The Yongle period was a brief restoration of this glory, when the desert was swept away, Annam was conquered, and all nations came to the court, restoring the status of the Han Empire as the central empire in the world.
Moreover, there are still some doubts about the things in the Yongle period, one is the national strength, at that time, the foreign war for many years, seven Ping'an South, six sweep the desert, Yongle at that time did not have many elite soldiers, not even one-fifth of the Taizu period, the most lacking is like Xu Da, Lan Yu can be alone in the handsome, Ping'an South had to rely on the British Gong Zhang Fu to lead the troops alone, sweeping the desert is Yongle Imperial Driving pro-conquest, the rest of the generals seem to lack this kind of military talent, the same is true of the strong generals, not as good as the early years of the Ming Dynasty, But it can beat the Mongols outside the fortress and flee.
