Qin Feng was only dizzy on the side, and the beginning of the celebration banquet outside the city was mixed with the Taimiao, the Taishe to tell the ancestors of heaven and earth and the sacrifice ceremony, and the whole process took almost a whole day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It can also be seen from this. Datang attaches great importance to their brilliant results this time.

Compared with Qin Feng's complaints about this cumbersome system, the three armies were all excited that they could be personally greeted by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and when the news spread, they all cheered.

Qin Feng was a human being in two lifetimes, and he came into contact with high-level leaders of the country, and it was too easy for him to meet Li Shimin, because it was easy, so he couldn't understand and appreciate the status of the Emperor of Heaven in the ranks of the people. For them, it was a great pride to be greeted by Li Shimin.

For this kind of celebration full of national cultural atmosphere, Qin Feng does not admire, but he is not disgusted, the Turks have brought too many disasters to the Tang Dynasty, and it is very desirable to take this opportunity to boost national self-confidence and pride. Although he himself thinks it's troublesome, he won't play with personality at this time and make any unconventional moves.

In a dynasty that attaches great importance to etiquette, even if Qin Feng doesn't like trouble, he can only follow the general trend.

According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, they are now camped fifteen miles north of Chang'an City.

At dawn, he set off to the south and came to the outside of Chang'an City, just in time for dawn.

Li Jing walked at the forefront on a war horse, and it was Qin Feng and Li Ji on the left and right, and their positions as the general managers of the other two roads were inferior to Li Jing, but they were not much different, just the distance between the horse's head behind: in their rear were Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Xue Wanche, Zhang Gongjin, Gao Yongsheng, followed by Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui, Luo Tong, Li Yexu, Cheng Chumo, Yu Chi Baoqing, Xue Rengui, Fang Yiai, and then middle-level generals like Achilles.

Starting from Li Jing, including Qin Feng and Li Shiji, the thirty-five generals of the Northern Expedition were arranged in turn.

Qin Feng was on the way, only to see Li Jing and Li Ji talking very happily, talking excitedly, couldn't help laughing, couldn't help but be a little curious, rode a horse to the two of them, and asked, "Two Chief Li, what are you talking about?" Say it so happily. ”

"The last general and General Li are talking about the past." Li Jing had a smile on his face, and he looked emotional: "I think that at the beginning, the world was in chaos, the people were not living, there were homeless people starving to death everywhere, the bandits were even more domineering, and there was a Turkic threat from the outside, they didn't put the former dynasty in their eyes, the entire north was nominally the former dynasty, but in fact it was all returned to the Turks, they burned and plundered in the north, ** things emerged endlessly, I was angry, and I joined the army to challenge, but I thought it was too simple, the soldiers at that time were more domineering than the bandits, I was a boy in white, and I couldn't change anything at all, Because he was ashamed to be in the company, he was restrained everywhere and suppressed and excluded everywhere, so he had no choice but to leave the army. Once, when I learned that the Turks had done evil in a village, I was angry and led dozens of hot-blooded soldiers to challenge, but I could not find the Turks. ”

"The Turks have grown up on horseback since childhood, they are skilled in riding and shooting, coming and going like the wind, today in the east, tomorrow in the west, like a shadow, although we have the heart to fight to the death with the Turks, but we can't catch up" Li Ji took over the conversation, although it has been many years since the incident, he still regrets: "In the final analysis, in addition to our own internal problems, our tactics are too backward. The Turks are cavalry, but we have a lot of infantry and chariots, and our actions are slow, and we can't catch up if we want to. ”

Qin Feng was surprised, he couldn't imagine that Er Li had the experience of fighting side by side when he was young, and it was really the first time he had heard of it.

Li Jing gave Qin Feng a thumbs up and was full of praise: "After the founding of our dynasty, Your Majesty discussed with us and realized the importance of cavalry, and Your Majesty also decided to form a large number of cavalry. But the Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, I have too few horses in the court, there is no heart, plus everything from the beginning, the treasury at that time is empty, there is no money for us to buy a large number of war horses, besides, Jieli Khan has always been hostile to our dynasty, the control of war horses is very strict, under his suppression, no one in the north dares to sell war horses to our court. ”

When Li Jing said this, he couldn't sigh.

"Isn't this the ancient version of monopoly and sanctions?" Qin Feng smiled secretly in his heart, although he had not experienced it, but he also knew through everything that the newborn Datang was very difficult.

Li Jing was full of praise and said: "It was not until you began to join the army and train the army, defeated the Turks again and again, and captured countless war horses, that this situation was reversed." Since then, Datang has had plenty of war horses and a large number of cavalry, and it is invincible, which is all your credit.

Qin Feng listened to this kind of praise many times, and said with a slight smile: "This is all the soldiers' lives, I just play a leading role." ”

"Now, Datang's most powerful external enemy has allowed us to break through, this battle, our victory is secondary, the most important thing is to let the Datang army establish the confidence to win, and the tenacious and unyielding military spirit, at the same time, but also trained a large number of brave and good soldiers. In the future, even the Tuyuhun and Goryeo generations will not be able to threaten and shake the foundation of our Tang Dynasty. I'm thinking, after I declare the military power of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no more war in the near future, and the four realms will be leveled, and I should also disarm and return to the field" Li Jing was quite excited: "In the past, the Turks were strong, and what I was thinking about was fighting the Turks. The Turks have been broken, one of the three major border troubles has gone, and the remaining ones are too weak to be the opponents of the Tang Dynasty at all, I am old, I don't need to occupy a seat anymore, I should give way to you young people! When you're old, it's time to rest. Li Jing looked back at a group of energetic middle-aged and young generals, and was overjoyed.

At the beginning of his army, when the Tang Dynasty was weak, he had no power to fight back in the face of the Turks. According to the situation at that time, it was far away to defeat the Turks. Now, all this has become a reality, he is extremely satisfied, he is relieved and returned to the field, enjoying the blessings in the house, and writing military books, which is the joy of life.

"Throughout the ages, Huaxia has a history of three or four thousand years. In the past 3,000 years, although there is no shortage of good generals and famous generals, they have made great contributions, which are rare in ancient and modern times. Compared with the chief manager, it is the difference between fireflies and Haoyue, and it can't be compared at all. The chief manager has built an immortal merit and established an immortal career, if life is like this, what regrets will the husband have? You have experienced too many things in your life, after all, you have not enjoyed a few days of Qingfu, you are over the age of six, and reading at home to entertain yourself is another realm of life. "Qin Feng knew that Li Jing in history was also in a state of semi-sheer and half-hermit after breaking the Turks. It's normal for him to have this plan now, and after he finished speaking, he quipped in a secretive tone: "Besides, if you don't rest, how can we hairy boys have a chance to be promoted?" If you don't retreat, I'll have to knock you down. ”

Qin Feng's "sincere words" came from the bottom of his heart, and it was also the problem he was about to face, Qin Feng was able to say this without shying away from words, which was enough to see that he was sincere, Li Jing listened to it in his ears, and he was also grateful in his heart, and suddenly nodded and smiled: "What General Qin said is extremely true, I will follow your words." After declaring the military prestige, I will resign to His Majesty, accompany my wife at home, and write about my life's experience, which is indeed the joy of life, hehe. ”

"You want to enjoy Qingfu behind closed doors, but you can't."

Li Jing and Li Ji both looked at Qin Feng in surprise, Li Jing smacked his beard and smiled: "It is you who say that the old man should be blessed when he is old, and you are the one who does not let the old man enjoy the happiness, this is very contradictory." ”

"These are two different things and cannot be confused." Qin Feng said: "I have always thought about such a question. ”

"Oh?" Li Jing and Li Jida were interested, and hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"In any dynasty in history, after two generations, the army begins to weaken, and there are no unscrupulous generals to use, and no brave men to use. Even if it is a strong Han is also the same, although Emperor Jing is very rich, but in the military, except for a Zhou Yafu, the whole dynasty is unavailable, if Emperor Jing has a large number of good generals, then, the merit of defeating the Xiongnu may not be his son Emperor Wu of Han. If the successor to the throne is not the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who is not eloquent and eclectic, I am afraid that the world will be a different situation. ”

Li Jing and Li Ji looked at Qin Feng movingly, Li Jing's expression was uncertain, and he looked at Qin Feng in a daze and said, "Do you want the old man to educate people?" ”

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Without talent, you can't do anything." Han Zhiwenjing is a living example, it is not that they did not have the ambition to destroy the Xiongnu, nor did they not provide hundreds of thousands of troops with money, food, armor, and ordnance, but they did not have people available. Zi said: If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. It means that if a craftsman wants to do his job well, he must first make the tool sharp. If we zoom in and compare the country to a craftsman, then talents from all walks of life are his magic blades. Therefore, if Datang wants to continue to be strong, it needs a large number of talents. ”

"That makes sense!" Li Jing and Li Jida agreed with this.

"I suggest that Your Majesty restart the imperial examination and establish the martial arts examination, which is to bring together the world's elites and use them for the country. But there will be an end to the number of talents who have not formally learned, and in the end, even if there are champions, role models, and tanhuas, they are just tall from the short ones. ”

Since ancient times, talents have been visiting, seeking, and recruiting. Nothing more than these three tricks. Can you get talent? It's a matter of luck. Shang Tang De Yi Yin. King Wen was too duke, so he had the world, and it was passed down through the ages. However, talent is hard to find, really want talent inexhaustible, that is a good wish, from the three kings and five emperors to the present. Three or four thousand years have passed, and there has never been such a grand occasion, even the famous King Wen has not reached this grand occasion!

Seeing the deep thinking expressions of the two, Qin Feng said metaphorically: "The farmer irrigates the garden, in order to be satisfied, he works hard, and he will get the food he needs." If the farmer doesn't work, then. The garden will be overgrown with weeds. The same land, to work and not to work, are two completely different scenes. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Jing and Li Ji have come to their senses.

"That's right!" Qin Feng nodded and said: "After returning to the dynasty, I will take the time to use His Majesty's suggestion to let His Majesty be a farmer, irrigate the fields, and cultivate talents by myself!" In this way, the DPRK and China will be able to have an inexhaustible supply of talents! ”

In the three generations, there was an official training of talents, but the scale was too big to have much impact. Later, in the Warring States period, private learning arose. Running a school became a trend, and the Jixia School Palace flourished for a while.

Since then, there has not been much official schooling. The Han Dynasty ran a large official school, but then it entered a narrow category, and the official school was only a Confucian doctrine of cultivating the mind, and the real things were rarely established by the official. Previously, Qin Feng had also discussed this similar issue with Li Shimin and Kong Yingda, but after that, there were too many things in the Tang Dynasty, and everything was preparing for war, which made the matter unresolved.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has eliminated the Turks, Li Shimin's personal prestige will also reach a peak, but as long as he makes decisions, there must be a lot less resistance. Moreover, in a short period of time, there was no war in Datang.

Cheng can be said to have everything ready, only the east wind is owed.
