Chapter 64 Military Exercises
"Thirteen Bucai, let all the erudite Confucian scholars laugh, then please all the literary masters here, improvise two poems!" Hao Shisan suppressed his anger and was humane with the literati.
Although all the literati disliked Hao Shisan's vulgar style, they were not prepared, and they were stumbling for a long time, and no one could come out.
But all this kind of improvised poems, those who can recite good sentences are not by chance, most of them are made in the chest, and they have already made a draft.
Even if someone came up with a poem during the banquet, after all, he didn't know Hao Thirteen, so he didn't dare to recite it indiscriminately, for fear that his knowledge would be different from Hao Thirteen's and he would be killed by Hao Thirteen.
After all, in the eyes of the literati of the orthodox court, Hao Shisan was just a "red turban thief".
is like the boss of Hao 13 in later generations, if he follows the manuscript prepared by the secretary and reads according to the script, he is passionate and heroic, and he brags, and his face is neither red nor white. If he is asked to say a few words on the fly, he will be talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he will not know where to start without bragging.
These literati sat there dumbfounded, red-faced, and unable to recite a word.
Shi Nai'an saw that the drunkards in the market were silent, and put Hao Shisan in an embarrassing situation, he smiled unnaturally: "Everyone is in a hurry for a while, I'm afraid that they are not prepared, take care of the literature, then ask the manager to write a poem." ”
Ay!
Kyushu is angry and thunderous,
It's sad to hear from all the horses.
I advise the Lord of Heaven to shake up,
Eclectic talent reduction.
Hao Shisan looked up to the sky and sighed, reciting a poem of Gong Zizhen's "Miscellaneous Poems" of the Qing Dynasty, but it was a great response, he himself was really angry, everyone was very silent, and he was in need of talents.
Wu Liujiu was behind Hao Shisan with a knife, and when he saw that everyone was still like this, he was angry, and with a "brush" sound, the waist knife was already half unsheathed, and was stopped by Hao Shisan's raised hand.
"Smack!" The sound of wine glasses falling to the ground.
During the banquet, a Confucian scholar changed color, trembling, and prostrate on the ground: "Xiao Ke is willing to serve the Governor, please don't be angry, don't kill the Confucian Scholars, Qin State, Qin State will die in the book burning pit Confucianism......"
One Confucian took the lead, and seven or eight Confucian scholars also knelt down in fear, expressing their willingness to serve.
Hao 13 was also shocked!
It's just reciting a poem by Gong Zizhen, but Wu Liujiu is just angry, and he has such great power?
If you don't read a few poems, you really can't stop these high-ranking literati.
Such a spineless literati, I haven't really been angry, and I'm scared like this? It's good if they don't defect, but what can they expect to do?
Among the literati present, only one person did not leave the table, that person was dressed in a fluttering Confucian shirt, shaking a folding fan in his hand, compared with all the literati, but he had a few demeanors, it was Song Ke.
Song Ke put away the folding fan, patted it twice in his hand, and exclaimed: "What an 'eclectic talent', atmospheric!" The governor is divided into one side, quite popular with the people, but the righteous event is not a dinner party, nor is it a poem, I don't know what the governor wants to rely on to resist the counterattack of the imperial court? ”
To put it bluntly, Song Ke really can't see what ability an old farmer planting rice in the farmland has to resist the Menggu Iron Horse.
"Naturally, we have to rely on a strong army, tomorrow, I will take you to the army to have a look, please rest in the pavilion for a night, if you Confucian scholars are willing to serve me, I will naturally have enough ability to protect everyone!" Hao Shisan said with a smile.
"Song has traveled all over the world and is willing to go to the army to watch." Song Ke said with a smile.
Hao Shisan waved his hand, and all the Confucian scholars retreated.
Shi Nai'an pounced and fell to his knees: "The old man insulted the trust of the chief steward in me, failed to recruit talents for the chief steward, and spent a lot of money, please atone for the sins." ”
"Where! Where! Hao Shisan left the table and pulled up Shi Nai'an, and said with a smile: "If a virtuous talent is so easy to get, it is not a virtuous talent, and the old gentleman does not have to blame himself." ”
……
In the afternoon, the sun was in the sky, the wind in the wilderness was a little hard, blowing the flags, and a green mountain in front of him was already covered with new green, and the air exuded the fragrance of peach blossoms.
Hao Thirteen, tailor-made silver-white willow leaf armor, reflecting the brilliance of the sun, looks more and more mighty. Surrounded by a guard, he sat on the horse of the Chinese army, and three hundred cavalry, surrounded him in front, which was the hundred-man team of the governor's mansion, which has now grown to three hundred.
Behind him, five big flags of red, yellow, blue, white, and black snarled in the wind, and more than 3,000 Chinese troops and thousands of households, red-clothed and red flags, lined up a strict phalanx.
In front of the Chinese army, four brand-new bronze cannons exude a metallic luster, which is very dazzling.
In front of the Chinese military phalanx, there are left and right, separated by more than a mile, and there are four thousand phalanxes on the front and back, left and right.
The front army, a thousand infantry, blue clothes and blue flags, on the horse in front of the army, the general sitting on a horn helmet, holding a long-handled broadsword, is the former army of thousands of households Shan Jun.
The left army, 2,000 infantry, white clothes and white flags, on the horse in front of the army, sat a general with fish scales and armor, and a horse lance in his hand, which was Fu Youde, a thousand households of the left army.
On the right, two thousand infantrymen, yellow clothes and yellow flags, immediately in front of the army, sat a general with thick eyebrows and heavy hair, carrying a machete in his hand, it was Wu Liuqi of the right army.
The rear army, a thousand cavalry, black clothes and black armor, immediately in front of the army, sat a general wearing a big earring, carrying a long seedling knife in his hand, it was the rear army Qianhu Yang notice.
Hao Shisan's face was solemn, as if he was facing a great enemy, and asked Yu Dechen, who was in the army behind him: "What did that grandson say?" ”
He asked Yu Dechen to recite Sun Tzu's Art of War for himself every day, and wanted to quote Sun Tzu's Art of War on the military array in front of him, but he didn't know where to start.
Yu Dechen was dressed in armor, and was asked by the chief manager, and he didn't know which paragraph Hao Shisan wanted to ask, so he quickly opened the wooden box in his arms, and in the box, there was a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and before he could open the book, Song Ke shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, aggression is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like yin, and it is moving like thunder." ”
"Exactly!" Hao 13 said.
However, when I saw the four military formations on the left and right, the military flags were waving, which was to report to the Chinese army that the formation was completed.
Zhang Thirty-one was dressed in fish scale armor, pulled out the saber under his crotch, stood in front of him, and said loudly: "Report to the chief manager!" Anfeng Red Turban Army is finished, whether to start drilling, please instruct! ”
Hao 13 took out the 'kitchen knife' under his ribs, pointed at the opposite hill with the tip of the knife, and said loudly: "The goal of this training is to capture the mountain in front!" Begin! ”
Woo-woo-woo
There was a sad horn in the Chinese army.
Knock-knock-knock
Impassioned war drums, beating a passionate rhythm.
As soon as the red flag in the army was displayed, in the middle of the army, a hundred red-clothed soldiers rushed out, divided into four groups, carrying four copper bubbles, speeding over the front army, and instantly exploded in front of the front army.
Yes, this is the three-pounder cannon jointly developed by Hao Shisan and Jiao Yu, and only four have been built so far, led by Jiao Lu.
Twenty catapults threw huge earth-shattering thunder, which were thrown at the foot of the mountain one after another, and in an instant thick smoke billowed and rocks fell.
"The front army is attacking!"
Hao 13 gave an order, but seeing the blue flag of the Chinese army waving, the 1,000-former army let out a cry of the sky falling apart, and under the leadership of Tu Danjun, they charged towards the hillside.
"The left army is roundabout!"
But seeing the white flag in the army, the two thousand left troops, under the leadership of Fu Youde, drew an arc and made a detour behind the mountain.
"Reinforcements from the right army!"
The yellow banner in the army was unfurled, and the two thousand right troops, under the leadership of Wu Liuqi, quickly followed up along the charging trajectory of the front army.
"Cavalry attack!"
The black flag in the army was unfurled, and the cavalry of the 1,000 rear army, divided into two roads, left and right, bypassed Hao Shisan's Chinese army and rushed straight to the top of the mountain.
Hao 13 saw that the front army had already climbed halfway up the mountain, and was about to reach the top of the mountain, so he waved his sword:
"The Chinese army is on board!"
Hao 13 took the lead, and the entire Chinese army, with a thunderous momentum, rushed out in an instant, leaving only a few weak literati, still sitting on the horses, I don't know why.
Song Ke folded the fan in his hand, kicked the horse's stomach hard, shouted "Kill-", replaced the sword with the folding fan, and chased Hao Shisan's army.
