Chapter 321: Fierce General Ma Chao
In the spring of 215, Ma Chao led his troops to attack Chang'an, and Cao Cao led his army to Chang'an to engage in a fierce battle with Ma Chao. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this war started in Chang'an, where Liu Zhang in Yizhou had not yet stopped fighting with Zhang Lu, and Liu Cong in Jingzhou was eyeing Liu Qi again. Looking at the world, the only peaceful place is only Yangzhou Sun Quan's side. In the past two years, Sun Quan decided to follow Xuzhou's example to change the law, set up schools in Luyang County and Jiujiang County, and kept cultivating the land, so that people could live and work in peace and contentment. Unlike Sun Quan, Yuan Shang, who was stationed in Runan, became restless. The general Yuan Shang recruited and trained troops in the land of Runan for many years, and recruited nearly 50,000 military horses in a few years. Yuan Shang gradually became stronger, and the Son of Heaven ordered Yuan Shang to assist Liu Cong in Jingbei to attack Liu Qi in the south. In the spring, Liu Qi was seriously ill and was about to fall unconscious, and Cai Mao wanted to lead his troops to attack the three counties of Jingnan after he knew about it.
Hearing that Yuan Shang was coming to help in the war, Cai Mao promised to cede Jiangxia County to Yuan Shang if he defeated Liu Qi. So a big war slowly unfolded in Changsha County. This year was also an important year for the reform of Xuzhou, and Tao Ying imitated the learning system of later generations, and completely abolished the school and private school. Now Tao Ying controls half of the world's land and has three-quarters of the world's population, so the talent selection system must also be replaced.
And after so many years of development, the school has been basically popularized, and all kinds of teachers can also be supplied. So at the beginning of the year, Tao Ying discussed with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Government about the abolition of the school. In April, Tao Ying finally made up his mind to abolish private schools and set up primary and secondary schools in various places. Based on the 100-year plan of education, after Tao Ying established a primary and secondary school, he abolished the university hall and changed it to a university. For example, the newly established Bingzhou Military Academy was renamed Bingzhou Military University, and the Bingzhou Academy was renamed Bingzhou University.
After changing the system, Tao Ying decided to spend 10% of the annual financial revenue to support the development of the school. After the introduction of this policy, it was deeply loved by the people, and more and more people in Xuzhou were able to study, and soon the provinces under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou could be a state of knowledge and etiquette. In addition to building schools, Tao Ying gradually put the central system on the agenda.
It has been almost twenty years since he crossed over from himself, and his energy is not as good as a year, so Tao Ying wants to reform the central system as soon as possible. In Tao Ying's heart, what he wants to implement most is a constitutional monarchy. Because although his son is smart at the moment, he must be far from his righteous son Zhuge Liang. Not to mention Zhuge Liang, I don't know how many times the difference is compared to Cao Zhi and Cao Chong, who have grown up.
Not only are there many talented people in Xuzhou Mansion, but there are also many wise people in other counties. For example, Lu Xun, who has become the Taishou of Suzhou in Jiangnan Mansion, is an example, Lu Xun is a native of Wu County, and Wu County studied in Suzhou School when he established Suzhou School. After graduation, he stayed in Suzhou, and now he has become a Taishou. For Lu Xun, Tao Ying didn't know that in a chat with Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao inadvertently mentioned the talent of Jiangnan Mansion, so he mentioned Lu Xun and said that Lu Xun could be the first talent in Jiangnan Mansion.
Not only Lu Xun, but also Deng Ai, who graduated from the Nanyang Military and Political Academy, is also a good hand, Deng Ai has gone through many battles, and now he has gradually grown up. Therefore, if you let your son govern, in front of so many talents, it is inevitable that you will repeat Cao Cao's mistakes. Therefore, Tao Ying has intended to implement the prime minister system in recent years.
If the son is still here today, if he is called the emperor, then he will definitely be ashamed of the world. But fortunately, he was already the prince, so he made his son the son, and then replaced the supreme ruler with the prince.
After the reform of the school, in the past few years of development, the railway in the north has been connected. A railway linking Liaoning Province from Bingzhou was completed. After the completion of an east-west railway, Xuzhou began to build railways to major cities, and after five or six years of research and development, Xuzhou finally developed a diesel engine, and the diesel engine also embarked on the road of research and development.
In the military, in recent years, Tao Ying has continued to improve gunpowder, modern gunpowder has gradually taken shape, and artillery has also been developed and become more and more powerful. The new artillery was not only powerful, but also equipped with wheels and pulled by horses, which made it much easier to carry.
Not only did the artillery improve, but after three years of development, Tao Ying's R&D team finally succeeded in developing the musket. The musket skipped the initial stage, and although it was not as powerful as the later generations, it was already able to take a shot. After the development of muskets, Tao Ying produced them in the artillery field, and produced more than 100 in the first phase, and then assembled the first musket team for practice, which was named the Shenji Battalion by Tao Ying.
The Shenji Battalion was formed in the summer of 214 and then began training, and the Shenji Battalion was used as an experimental stage to train daily in the military stronghold of Taoling Town. Tao Ying plans to spend two years training the musket team, improving the muskets, and trying to get them into battle in 216. As the main force of the Shenji Battalion in the future, Tao Ying handed him over to his most trusted bodyguard Zhou Tailai to lead.
Xuzhou began to become stronger and stronger, and Xuzhou's business began to do a lot of things. In the autumn, news came from Chang'an that Cao Cao was almost killed by Ma Chao in a fierce battle with Ma Chao in Chang'an. And Ma Chao is extremely tough, after fighting with Cao Cao for nearly half a year, Cao Cao's grain and grass are not good, so he came to Tao Ying to buy grain and grass with Tao Ying.
Hearing that Cao Cao was short of grain, Ma Chao sent an envoy to Pengcheng to ask Tao Ying not to sell Cao Cao's grain and grass. Tao Ying comforted Ma Chao's envoy, and then refused Cao Cao's request to buy grain. So Cao Cao had no choice but to buy grain from Runan, and Yuan Shang of Runan raised the price of grain many times. After Ma Chao heard about Tao Ying's approach, he became even more grateful to Tao Ying.
The spring of 215 soon came, and after nearly two years of war, Ma Chao's morale was gradually dragged away. Cao Cao used tricks to provoke Han Sui and Ma Chao, and Ma Chao was finally defeated in Chang'an. After the defeat, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Pang De had to lead the remnants to loot everywhere to survive. There was a shortage of food in the spring, and on this day, several people led the troops to Gaonu City in Shangjun County, Bingzhou.
At this time, Ma Chao's soldiers and horses were less than 100 people, but they were brave and good at fighting, and when they heard that the high slaves were rich, Ma Chao wanted to come and ask for some grain and grass. The guards of Gaonu City were afraid of Ma Chao, but if they wanted to give him money and food, they were afraid that they would be too reproachful, and when he was hesitating, the teachers and students of the Bingzhou Military Academy passed by, and the guards hurriedly asked for help. Among the teachers and students of the Bingzhou Military Academy, one person came up with an idea, and the guards hurriedly led people to ambush them.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Chao came to get grain as agreed, and the guard put the grain and grass at the gate of the city. Ma Chao took grain and grass, and the guard invited him to come to the city to drink, Ma Dai was afraid of fraud, but Ma Chao said that he didn't dare to do anything to himself, so he entered the city with Pang De.
