Chapter 44 Tiancheng's New Deal Emerges at the Beginning of the World, Powerful Soldiers and Horses See the World (1)
Li Congjing deliberately tested Sang Weihan's mind, so this question and answer is quite sharp, although a person's words may not be from the heart, but for the wise person, it is not difficult to see something between the questions and answers.
After Sang Weihan retreated, Li Congjing asked Mo Li on the side, "What does Mo Ge'er think of this person?" ”
"If you are like Taizong, you will inevitably have an alliance of white horses, and your ministers will be like Fang Du, and you can plan for the future. If the king is like Taizong, and the minister is like Fang Du, the gain and loss are not enough for a while. is like Taizong, and the minister is like Fang Du, and he did not dare to sacrifice the land. If the king is not as good as Taizong, and the minister is not as good as Fang Du, he will be reluctant, and he will be a hundred years old. ”
In the entire Qin Palace, Mo Li is the person who knows Sang Weihan best, and after he recounted Sang Weihan's answer to Li Congjing's last question, he smiled and shook his fan: "This statement can be described as insightful and unique, giving people a sense of night rain." ”
Li Congjing stopped talking, he secretly figured out that the insight and bearing shown by Sang Weihan today seemed to be inconsistent with his behavior of helping Shi Jingjiao betray the country in the future. It's pitiful to say that Li Congjing doesn't know much about Sang Weihan, and his understanding of him is limited to two of them: a great talent and an accomplice who betrays the country.
Li Congjing naturally didn't know what Sang Weihan's attitude was towards Shi Jingjiao's cession of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, nor did he know what anecdotes Sang Weihan had later, let alone why he died.
It is said that when Shi Chonggui and the Khitan were at war, the Khitan soldiers came to the city and persuaded Sang Weihan to flee to avoid trouble, and Sang Weihan said: "My minister, how to escape!" ”
Houshi Chonggui asked Zhang Yanze to kill Sang Weihan, and Sang Weihan was not afraid, "I am the minister, so that the country is like this, and his death is appropriate." Zhang Yanze is rude! ”
He also asked Zhang Yanze: "What is your merit, leading the envoy to the side, when the country is in danger, you can't do your best to repay the service, once you betray, help the Khitan to become a thief, you are at ease?" ”
Later, the historian commented: "Wei Han's auxiliary Jin room is also full of harmonious ambitions, participation in the construction of the merit, and judging by his loyalty, he can also be said to be a minister of the society." Moreover, the policy of harmony is not a miscalculation, and the death of the country, he seeks to destroy the mouth, and this disaster of death, it is difficult to draw a strategy, how can it be expected! is the one who wrote "Difficult to Say" with Han Fei's generosity, and he should also be sad for this! ”
It means that Sang Weihan has a great contribution to the Jin family, and he is also very loyal, and he lives up to his identity as a minister of the society, for Shi Jingjiao's betrayal of the country, under the circumstances at that time, Shi Jingjiao took the idea, not that he could decide and influence, and said that he was killed by the country because of his merit to the country.
Li Congjing didn't know this, so he had other considerations.
Mo Li saw that Li Congjing was silent for a long time, so he asked, "What does His Highness plan to do with this person?" ”
Li Congjing pondered for a moment, touched his chin and said: "Lonely news, the dynasty is prosperous, the monarch is sage, then the traitors above the court are extinct, the villains are far away, and the people contained in the history are more loyal and courageous, and the Ming government opens up the territory." Lonely and heard, the dynasty is declining, the king is deaf, the court is full of traitors, villains are crowded, and the history books are left, only the loyal ministers are disgraced, and the power is humiliated and humiliated. It can be seen from this that what the king is, then the courtiers are. The king has the ministers of the king, and the dead help the dead. ”
"Sang Weihan is really talented, and his mental toughness is even rarer, and as for his character, he has not seen any signs of great adultery. In this case, why don't you dare to use it? If the lonely is the master and the country is strong, and Sang Weihan is on his own right, there will be no chance to leave a stench, on the contrary, will the sin be in the strategists? ”
Li Congjing's meaning is very clear, in his place, there are only capable officials, not traitors. If there is a traitor or a villain, he will not tolerate it, and he will be punished if he sees it. If they are capable officials, everything they do is arranged by Li Congjing, how could Li Congjing arrange for them to betray the country?
Mo Li nodded and said, "Your Highness's words are very reasonable. In the future, what His Royal Highness will do will be like the rising sun, vigorous and upward, and the actions of the officials in the palace will naturally follow His Highness and the general trend of the country. In other words, even if Sang Weihan's character is indeed poor, he can be punished at that time, so why worry about it! I had a lot of worries before, but I was out of shape. ”
Li Congjing said with a smile: "What his fate will be in the future, it depends on himself." ”
On the same day, Li Congjing issued an order to entrust Sang Weihan to join the army as a secretary of the Qin Palace.
The new deal is the most important political matter in the Tang Dynasty today, which is related to the overall situation, but Li Congjing has to care about this year, not only the new deal, of course, as the only prince of the Tang Dynasty today - King Song and King Zhao are both county kings, Li Congjing has a lot to do, but the most important of them are two things.
One is the Martial Arts Academy, and the other is the Martial Arts Academy.
These two are also the fundamental plans of the country. In fact, the Martial Arts Academy and the Composition Academy are just preliminary preparations, and what Li Congjing is really preparing to give to this era is the academy. Only the academy can truly provide Datang with all-round talents, so as to have the power to change and promote an era.
At the very least, that's after the foundation is laid.
The day-to-day management of the Yanwu Academy has always been Du Qianshu's responsibility before, and now, Huai Meng has nothing to do, and Li Congjing transferred Du Qianshu from Heyang to Luoyang to manage the Yanwu Academy. When he was in Youzhou, Du Qianshu not only managed the Martial Arts Academy, but also took care of a lot of things, but now, Du Qianshu only manages the Martial Arts Academy, which also shows how much Li Congjing and Li Siyuan attach importance to the Martial Arts Academy.
In addition, the Shoin Academy has now been merged into the Performing Arts Academy.
This is a big change, and the Martial Arts Academy and the Sakuin have always been two unrelated institutions. Studying the improvement of armor equipment is a function that Li Congjing added to the Academy. Now, it is this part of the function of the academy that has been incorporated into the academy. In this way, the institute returned to the position of a simple armor equipment manufacturing institution.
The study of military industry, science and technology is part of the function of the military academy, and Li Congjing built the military academy according to the standards of the military academy of later generations, so this part of the function should be separated from the academy and merged into the academy.
The Yanwu Academy was built in the east of the city, covering an area of more than 8,000 acres, and the layout was extremely broad. When Li Congjing came to inspect, Du Qianshu had already taken office as the vice president of the Yanwu Academy, and actually performed the duties of the president.
The officials of the Qin Palace, as early as in Youzhou, had a lot of dealings with the Yanwu Academy. When Li Congjing arrived at the gate of the Yanwu Academy with the officials of the Qin Palace, Du Qianshu was already waiting outside the door - except for Du Qianshu himself, there were no other instructors and students of the Yanwu Academy to greet him, and Li Congjing had no intention of delaying the normal operation of the Yanwu Academy.
Outside the archway of the martial arts academy, there are two stone lions, which are higher than the big man, and they are extremely majestic. On the archway, the three big characters of the "Yanwu Academy" are inscribed by Li Congjing himself - originally Li Siyuan wanted Li Siyuan to do it, but Li Siyuan was illiterate, and he was afraid that only he could experience the artistic conception of calligraphy. It's Li Congjing, after all, he has worked hard for ten years, even if the handwriting is not as good as calligraphy, after all, he can get it.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Qin." Du Qianshu stepped forward and saluted.
If Du Qianshu was in Youzhou, there was still a little bit of youth that had not faded, after years of tempering, at this moment, it seemed that he was calm and atmospheric, and his gestures were majestic and restrained, even in Luoyang, where people were on the border, it was not very difficult to be alone.
Du Qianshu went to the Qin Palace, before taking office, he went to visit Li Congjing, he worked in the Martial Arts Academy, Li Congjing also had some "training" for him in advance, there was not much to say at the moment, and everyone walked directly into the door.
Entering the Yanwu Academy, a big stone stands at the door screen, and the four words "Han and Tang Dynasty Xiongfeng" are written on it, and there is no other decoration in addition.
These four words were proposed by Li Congjing, and came from Li Cunxian's hand. The veteran general is a horseman, and his military achievements are unique in a generation, and he has long become the existence that the soldiers of the world look up to, and countless deeds have evolved into legends and are widely spread in the army.
These four words, vigorous and heavy, murderous and awe-inspiring, between the strokes full of high-spirited spirit, but also without losing the elegant color, a little knowledge of calligraphy, can be from these four words, to experience the true meaning of "Han and Tang Dynasty heroes".
Over the big stone, it is a huge rectangular square, there are no other objects on the square, the only monument!
On each monument, there are text imprints, and the content on them is a classic battle since the Tang Dynasty, a famous general, and an immortal legend.
The first thing for the new students to enter the Performing Arts Academy is to understand the stories on it under the guidance of the instructors.
Poor Wuding Riverside Bone, he is still a person in a spring boudoir dream, but he makes Longcheng Fei and does not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain. The battlefield is iron-blooded, how many sons and horses are wrapped in leather and returned, what is a soldier, what is honor, what is a family and country, it all lies in this.
And those who leave their names here will be remembered by future generations, and at the same time, they will always be encouraged by those who come after them.
There are no less than hundreds of monuments with words, but they only occupy one-tenth of the total number of monuments in the square, and most of the monuments here have no words on them. And the last monument with writing, which records the deeds of Li Congjing's army entering the West Tower, defeating the Khitan, and forcing the Khitan to sign an alliance under the city.
This means that all the soldiers who can fight for the country and win for the country are likely to leave their names, deeds, and meritorious deeds here, so that they will be remembered for centuries and admired and praised by countless future generations, and become a model for future generations!
"All the students who enter the martial arts academy will be generals if they succeed, and they will be pawns if they don't, so they must always remember that soldiers, fighting for the country, is a lifelong mission! Their blood will be shed for the country, and the country will remember them! After the completion of the Yanwu Academy, Li Congjing said to the entire Yanwu Academy, "All soldiers, morale first, gas is the soul of the army, soldiers have the spirit of hard work, only then can they give up their lives and forget death, in order to be the first to kill the enemy, and now set up a military monument, because of this!" ”
When Li Congjing was training in Qimen, he painted the flags of "Leader" and "No Bird" and sent them to the army, with the intention of fiercely training the skills of the soldiers. It's just that, compared with the method of being the leader and not distinguishing between birds, the measures to erect a military monument today are much more square and durable.
There are many buildings in the Yanwu Academy, and the partition is not much different from the later academy, the only difference is that the building is not that high, at most three floors. But in terms of momentum, it is much more majestic and atmospheric, and the style is not the same, the pattern and architecture of the martial arts academy reveal a magnificent atmosphere everywhere.
Covering an area of more than 8,000 acres, there are no buildings in more places, and it is divided into blocks of school fields of different sizes to facilitate students to practice various martial arts.
In addition, the Martial Arts Academy also has a simulated combat area of 10,000 mu in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang City. These places have been renovated to include cities, rivers, mountains and other terrain, and are real places for soldiers, accommodating hundreds of people to go back and forth to fight. The use of these places is to strive to be close to actual combat and to test the students' ability to command campaigns and battles. The army has all the tests in the autumn, and the same is true for the martial arts academy.
"According to His Royal Highness's wishes, the part of the Academy that was merged into the Martial Arts Academy was renamed the 'Armament Research and Development Division'. Because the 'Armament Development Division' involves the development of gunpowder, heavy bows, heavy crossbows, and heavy equipment, it is located in the eastern part of the academy and is separated from the main building, so as to prevent the 'Armaments Development Division' from accidentally injuring the trainees when testing weapons. ”
As Du Qianshu spoke, he led Li Congjing to the "Armaments Research and Development Department".
