Chapter 176: The Southern Army Arrives
After thinking about the placement of veterans, Yan Ming suddenly discovered the importance of paper mills. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info such a factory, not to mention the placement of veterans, but also to promote employment. It's just that there is too much sewage from the paper mill, which has too much impact on the environment around Maoling.
Suddenly, Yan Ming thought of Tian Wei's paper mill. His factory is located downstream of Weishui, and there is no fertile soil around it, so it has no impact on anyone.
"Sooner or later, I'll find a way to get Tian Wei's factory over." Yan Ming thought. Although the paper mill means little to him. But sometimes when he thinks of Tian Wei's villainous appearance, he really can't swallow this breath.
Sima Xiangru and his wife are very popular in Hongyantang, and most of the children like to learn poetry and songs with him, and they even like to surround Zhuo Wenjun and listen to her play the piano and sing Sima Xiangru's words.
This pair of young people has driven the cultural life of Hongyantang. Only Li Ling and the Hu family don't look down on Sima Xiang's tunes. Li Ling thinks that he is a man, and what he should learn is the skill of serving the man, and the Hu family is like an addiction to drilling into the ground, and he takes Li Ling everywhere to make holes.
Every time the old and young of the Hu family pouted their butts and made holes, Li Ling stood aside with his arms in his arms, studying the techniques of the Hu family and the direction of his holes.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed in peaceful days.
In the past half month, Yan Ming and the children have conducted a lot of experiments, Wang Xiaocuier's talent in mathematics is unparalleled, and she is also very interested in physics and chemistry, but with the increase and decrease of time, her interest in Yan Ming seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes when I see Yan Ming, I am no longer the same as before, and I often look delicate and shy.
She and Yan Ming are not much different in age, but now that they have learned Yan Ming's knowledge, they have lost the inferiority complex they once had, and some thoughts that they usually dare not think about will naturally come alive.
Yan Ming didn't think much about it, in the past few days, Yan Ran had already reacted, and occasionally vomited. After class, Yan Ming will personally go to the kitchen to fry a few dishes for his family, especially the one for Yanran, and will add some vegetables, which are more nutritious and healthier.
Since returning from the trip to the Xiongnu, Yan Ming has been particularly obsessed with this quiet rural life. Sometimes when you close your eyes, you can think of the Huns who were hacked to death by yourself, and the soldiers of the Hu Cavalry Captain Army who followed them and went out like a tiger, but finally turned into a jar of ashes and came back.
For a moment, Yan Ming wanted to develop gunpowder on a large scale, although the iron barrel of this era was not qualified, it was still possible to use gunpowder to make some simple explosive packs.
Gunpowder was originally one of the four great inventions in China, and firearms appeared thousands of years after the invention, and hot weapons gradually replaced cold weapons, the main reason is not that people have no imagination, but that the productivity and control of steel are not enough. The process does not meet the requirements, and no matter how good the idea is, it is useless.
When he thought of craftsmanship, Yan Ming thought of the iron-smelting Zhuangzi in the southwest of Chang'an City. The command of the lieutenant army of Hu Cai, Yan Ming can hand it over, but he can smelt the iron village, and Yan Ming will do everything possible to control it in his hands.
With the Iron Smelting Village, he was able to gradually make some things. As for controlling the Iron Smelting Village, it is also a very simple matter, as long as it is okay to drum up a little new gadget for Liu Che, it should be fine.
The peaceful days of Maoling did not last long.
Suddenly, one day, a team of Han troops in red clothes and black armor came to Maolingyi. The general of this group of people is none other than Cheng Buzhi. And the army he led was the palace guard of the Han Dynasty - the Southern Army!
The southern army guards the dormitory, and the northern army guards the Beijing division.
Now that the Southern Army is here, I'm afraid that the two most powerful women of the day will also come.
"Yanhou, don't come unharmed!" Cheng Buzhi hugged his fists, and his short and fat body not only looked not bloated, but also had a strong sense of strength.
Yan Ming arched his hand, it has been more than half a month, and the injuries on his body have long been healed, but there is a scar on his elbow that emerges from the middle of the short sleeve he has transformed.
Seeing that Yan Ming was dressed clearly, Cheng Buzhi took off his helmet, and the sweat on one end almost turned into a stream flowing out.
"Yanhou, your clothes look cool!" Cheng Buzhi finished saying hello and went straight to the point.
Yan Ming raised his hands and smiled proudly: "How is it?" Do generals want a set too? ”
"Of course, we have to come to a set, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will be able to come over in some days, and we are just standing in the front. You don't have to wear cowhide armor every day, it's too hot! Cheng Buzhi smiled, his eyes fell under Yan Ming's sleeve, and his face suddenly changed.
"Yanhou, are you also injured?" Cheng Buyi asked in surprise.
Yan Ming looked at his arm and said with a smile: "A small injury, compared to General Cheng's experience in a hundred battles, it is not worth mentioning. ”
"What Yan Hou said made Cheng embarrassed!" After Cheng Buzhi finished saying this, he suddenly leaned over and whispered: "Although the people in the court said that Yan Hou acted recklessly, it was easy to cause trouble. But our generals here, there is no such saying! Cheng Buzhi continued: "Since the siege of Baideng, my Han has been in harmony. Our army has never been out of the border fortress, when has there ever been such a feat as Yanhou? not only slaughtered on the grassland, but also captured so many slaves, even those who said that Hou Ye had destroyed the peace of the border, in fact, they all admired it in their hearts. ”
Yan Ming smiled bitterly, in the eyes of many people, his action was a violation of the border policy of Han and Hungary. After all, the policy of peace and proximity has been implemented for more than 60 years, and it is understandable that some people in the DPRK and China have been kneeling for a long time and cannot stand up. But Yanming didn't understand why these people thought that peace was a peace policy on the border.
Since the siege of Baideng, Gaozu has returned in embarrassment and made peace with the Xiongnu. That time, the Han Dynasty licked its face and sent women, cars, and gold to the Huns, begging the Huns not to attack the border.
But how did the Huns behave?
If you want to hit you, you will be beaten, and if you want to harass, you will be harassed. The people of the Han Dynasty on the border wish they hadn't been born in the Han family. The border city, which was supposed to thrive for trade, is now as desolate as the wilderness.
He Yi of Shuofang City was there with a group of defenders, and there were not many households in the city at all. Soldiers, without constant training, have to farm when they plow, harvest in autumn, and repair the city walls on weekdays to defend against the enemy. How can such an army have strong combat effectiveness?
It is the Hu Cavalry Captain Army, which is already the strongest combat effectiveness among the eight major captains, but against the Huns, if it hadn't caught Dugger Xiaowang off guard, I am afraid it would be half a catty against eight taels.
It is said that Dugger is still the worst of the few kings in Monan.
Originally, Yan Ming planned to take advantage of this victory to start the iron-blooded policy against the Xiongnu in advance. But Chaozhong's reaction made him a little cold!
Now Cheng Buzhi's words made him feel a little emotional, but he just smiled and said, "Don't mention the war, let's drink and eat." If you have time, General Cheng can come to my Hongyan Hall to sit, my general may not need the course here, but the general's son and grandson may use it, the tuition fee is easy to say, it is very cheap, and you will be given a 20% discount......" Yan Ming introduced with a smile, deliberately forgetting that he was a general, and deliberately avoiding the memory of the war.
"I've long heard that Lord Hou's Hongyantang is learning great things! Now there are many people in Chang'an City who want to send their children to Hongyantang. My youngest son is naturally coming on September 1st, and Hou Ye will have to worry about it at that time! "In Chang'an City, many people want to come to Hongyan Hall, but Cheng Buzhi is afraid that his status is not high enough to grab the place in Hongyan Hall. Now that he is in direct contact with Yan Ming, this matter is naturally much easier.
After all, Yan Ming's feat of alchemy on the head of Weiyang Palace City was too shocking. When those ministers heard that Hongyantang could even learn alchemy, how could there be anyone who didn't rush to sign up?
If it weren't for Yan Ming's alchemy and leaving Maoling, and after coming back, there was an accident with the Huns, I'm afraid they would have broken through the threshold of the Yan family.
Now, the group is watching.
Because the Empress Dowager Dou and the Empress Dowager are about to go to Maoling. These two people who hold real power today will determine the future of Hongyantang and the Yan family.
