"The edict said: 'I stand by force in the Tang Dynasty, and all my Tang honors and nobles are all people who can get on the horse and shoot the bow. For ......"

An edict from Emperor Li Shimin was issued again, but this time it was a real "edict", not a book. The authority of the edict is greater than that of the book, which is a general order, but the edict is only issued for important matters. Now Li Shimin issued an edict, requiring that in order to preserve the martial spirit of the Tang nobles, all the Tang nobles should conduct a winter hunt at the beginning of winter. And it is necessary to organize the various Zhichong Mansions in Datang to exercise, so that they can train hunting well and let them maintain their combat ability. And a hunt represents a battle, and even Li Shimin asked all the nobles of Chang'an to participate. All royalty, nobles, and even middle and high-ranking officials must participate. This winter hunt is to carry forward the martial spirit.

Of course, this is an open reason, and there is another reason, which is to hunt those feathered birds for the people, so that after they hunt, the officials and nobles can eat meat, and those feathers can also choose a lot of faces to send to the people to make down and duvets. Of course, it is not enough to rely on daily geese, so Shi Bufan proposed this winter hunting plan. In this way, winter hunting can not only ensure the martial spirit of the nobles and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but also let them truly experience war.

Otherwise, once a country loses its martial spirit, the final destruction of the country is inevitable. A country without a martial spirit will inevitably perish in the end.

"Shi Xiannan, this time the emperor made this winter hunt, you proposed it?" The county lord of Dingxiang asked.

Shi Bufan, as a county man in the Tang Dynasty, although he is only a nominal county man, he is also a nobleman, and he can't avoid this winter hunt. So he's going to be followed, but whether he can hunt with a bow or not is his business. And the Tang royal family mostly had to follow, otherwise they would be counted as deserters. This winter hunt is not only a hunt, but also a "war".

Of course, this winter hunt is also a collective entertainment for the nobles, not only young and strong men are coming, but even women can participate. Many noblewomen, including some concubines in Li Shimin's harem, also followed. However, during the Tang Dynasty, the confinement of women was not too strong, and women could go out on their own. Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, the legacy of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was still there, so the martial spirit was very strong, and there were not a few women who could shoot bows and arrows. At that time, Mulan Ci also described that a woman could join the army and fight, indicating that women in the Northern and Southern Dynasties were not completely unable to fight.

"County Lord, of course, this is a double win. Not only can the civil and military officials of the imperial court truly know the spirit of martial arts, but they will not die out in the enjoyment of luxury. The ancients said that if you are born in sorrow and die in peace, if you are addicted to enjoyment, then how can you protect your family and defend your country? Shi Bufan said.

The county lord of Dingxiang was also strange and said: "I didn't expect that you, a literati, would be able to support Shangwu?" ”

"Hey, China suffered too much back then!" Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan knew that from the middle and late Tang Dynasty to the later period in China, what the Chinese Han people lacked was the martial spirit. From the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the status of the martial artists declined sharply, and even the interests of the military could not be effectively guaranteed. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the status of the government soldiers was still very high and was respected. However, from the time of Tang Gaozong, land annexation was serious, and even the land of the government soldiers who were soldiers was also annexed in large quantities. Even when many government soldiers served, they were pulled by those officials and nobles to do some miscellaneous work, and they were not engaged in noble military duties at all.

Therefore, the government soldiers fled one after another, which led to the adoption of the conscription system, and from the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the status of soldiers and soldiers has begun to decline rapidly. The interests of soldiers cannot be guaranteed, and even soldiers are called like slaves, so how can soldiers be dignified?

During the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Hu people had to be recruited as soldiers to protect the country, but Hu people as soldiers? Is this really good? Many people think that recruiting Hu people as soldiers means that people's hearts are towards the Tang Dynasty and China. But Shi Bufan sneered at this, a country's armed forces are actually composed of Hu people, is this really good? It's like a country's standing army, a large part of which is composed of foreigners, is this a good thing?

When people see that your country is rich and start to rob it directly, what should you do? Gao Xianzhi, An Lushan, Shi Siming and other Hu generals have become high-level generals, and the proportion of Hu people among middle-level generals is even more. The so-called letting the Hu people become soldiers, those who trust the Hu people, is national integration and the glory of a great country, this is nothing but self-deception. The composition of the main generals of a country is mainly composed of "foreigners", which means that the military power has fallen into the hands of foreigners, can you rest assured?

Generals start with soldiers, so the proportion of Hu people in the Tang Dynasty army is already very high. The reason for this situation is nothing more than that the Han people have gradually lost their martial spirit, and the soldiers are looked down upon, so the Han people are unwilling to join the army, so they have to recruit Hu people as soldiers.

"Lord Dingxiang County, although I am a literati, I support martial arts. Martial arts is the foundation of defending the homeland and the country, and there is no room for mistakes. Once I lose my martial heart, then my Datang will be very dangerous. So although I am a literati, I know that if there is no martial artist, then my Datang will naturally not be stable. I can enjoy peace in the rear, and I can be a peace officer, which is also bought by the soldiers with blood, so I also support Shangwu. Without martial arts, I would not be able to be stable just by relying on me as a literati. Shi Bufan replied.

"It seems that the county man is still very far-sighted! However, Shi County man, how many stone bows can you fire? The county lord of Dingxiang asked.

Hearing the words of the county lord of Dingxiang, Shi Bufan's old face turned red, although he supported Shangwu, but he couldn't open a bow. Ordinary soldiers in the Tang Dynasty could shoot at least one stone bow, and they were really not good at opening bows. Although he also did physical exercise back then, although he also exercised to a certain extent after the crossing, it was just exercise, for health, not for combat. So to let Shi Bufan open the bow, this is obviously impossible.

A stone bow in the Tang Dynasty was a fifty-nine kilogram rally. Although Shi Bufan did not play with bows and arrows in later generations, those bows and arrows in later generations were soft bows, and the pulling force was only used for exercise, not for combat. That kind of soft bow pulling force is probably more than ten kilograms, and some are still pulley bows, so that pulley bows are more labor-saving, so later generations can pull them away. If you let Shi Bufan pull this one-stone bow, then Bufan really couldn't pull it away.

Seeing Shi Bufan's blushing face, the county lord of Dingxiang also took the opportunity to mend the knife and said: "Look at me, I can pull a stone bow as a woman, can't you pull it away as a man?" I'm a Tang Dynasty that established the country with force, aren't you right? Don't you even dare to open a bow, what kind of man are you? ”

"Say I'm not a man, when the time comes, in bed, you'll know if I'm a man or not!" Shi Bufan snorted coldly.

The county lord of Dingxiang turned red, he didn't expect Shi Bufan to say such a thing. Shi Bufan is actually more familiar with the county lord of Dingxiang recently, and he is a few juniors who are more familiar with Li Shimin. Because Li Liqing's girls and princesses are still too young, they are only six or seven years old. On the contrary, only this Li Shimin's adopted daughter is older, so it is better to communicate with Shi Bufan. Shi Bufan is most familiar with this Li Shimin's adopted daughter, but she is just a county lord.

As a white-collar worker in later generations, he will generally not say a few ridiculous words in front of a few colleagues of the opposite sex after work? This kind of joke is very common in later generations, so it is inevitable that Shi Bufan will encounter a few people of the same age and the opposite sex who will make this kind of meat and vegetarian jokes. Sometimes this is the case, and it is not suitable for this kind of tone when facing your own woman. It's a joke, so in the face of Dugu Daxue and Qin Jiarui, who have already determined their names, Shi Bufan rarely ridicules them like this.

Only in the face of those opposite sex who say that they are not close or far away will they like to make this kind of meat joke.

"It seems that I didn't expect that when I looked at you, the county man looked like a decent man and a gentleman on weekdays, and I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" The county lord of Dingxiang snorted.

Shi Bufan teased again: "I'm not serious, I'm not a person!" ”

"Really? Look at the arrows! The county lord of Dingxiang suddenly pulled his bow and released arrows, shooting in the direction of Shi Bufan.

Shi Bufan suddenly had a chill down his spine, did this woman want to kill herself when she was angry? At this moment, Shi Bufan thought like he was going to lose his life, but he soon heard a shout.

"The lord of Dingxiang County is good at archery, and he actually shot a wild goose!"

Shi Bufan wiped his cold sweat at this time, it turned out that the main shot of this Dingxiang County was a wild goose, not himself.

But Shi Bufan still felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Dingxiang County, can't you talk to me before you want to shoot?" How can you say that if you open the bow, you will open the bow, what if you shoot a little crooked? ”

"Don't worry, I have confidence in my archery ability!" The county lord of Dingxiang said.

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if!" Shi Bufan smiled bitterly.

"In case something doesn't exist! Also, do you know how good I am? The county lord of Dingxiang replied, and the county lord of Dingxiang still looked at the lower body without objecting, and the meaning was obviously very obvious.

Shi Bufan smiled bitterly again, this Dingxiang County Lord was obviously warning him and telling him not to make this kind of meat joke casually. Otherwise, people can shoot even a wild goose so far away, so what if they are so close? However, Shi Bufan finally sighed that the thinking of this Tang Dynasty period was so open, if it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, if a woman dared to look at the lower body of a man so obviously, she was obviously regarded as that woman. However, the legacy of the Tang Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties is still there, and the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties have an inseparable relationship with those Hu people, so naturally there will be no too much concern.

"Shi Xiannan, do you want to try it?" The county lord of Dingxiang prepared to hand her bow and arrow to Shi Bufan.

Shi Bufan said: "I still don't offer ugliness, it's better to hide ugliness!" County Lord, you are a miracle shot, I can't compare to you County Lord! ”

Shi Bufan can't be compared, he can't even compare to an ordinary soldier, because he really hasn't practiced! He didn't understand this kind of archery ability at all, so there was no need for him to compare with the lord of Dingxiang County. As for whether he is comparable to the county lord of Dingxiang in archery, he doesn't care about this. He doesn't think that he is inferior to a woman in archery, and that he is "not a man" himself. Han Yu also said that he had a specialization in the art industry, don't look at it as a liberal arts master, but the more he studied, the more he knew his "ignorance".

Only really smart people in this world will know how "stupid" they are. Only really stupid people think they are "smart". The more a scholar learns, the more he learns, and the more aspects he or she eventually discovers that he is ignorant. Shi Bufan will not think that he is inferior to others because of this so-called can't shoot arrows, and he has a specialization in art, if he is asked to re-study science, he can't do it.

Those who think that they can't beat women, or that they are not men at all, are fools' opinions. A woman who has been specially trained in martial arts can easily defeat a man who has not been specially trained, and this cannot be said to prove the claim that "it is not a man". Those who have to fight for this breath are absolutely fools, and this kind of person will not live long. Don't think that fighting with women is a hero, in fact, this kind of person is a thorough bear, and even people who specialize in art don't understand, if they have to fight for their breath, then such a person will not have any future whether he is a leader or engaged in professional research.

So in terms of archery, Shi Bufan has not been trained, and he does not have enough training, so it is normal for him to be inferior to this Dingxiang County Lord, and he will not feel inferior because of this. Anyway, he doesn't learn this, he doesn't eat with archery, why does he have to compete with trained people?

"Okay, in that case, how about you be my chef? I heard that the county man was very good at cooking, so I wanted to try it. It's a pity that I haven't had a chance, and I heard that Sister Lizhi has always said that you are very good at cooking, so I rely on you now. How about you go get that goose for me, and I'll try your craft today? The county lord of Dingxiang said.

Shi Bufan nodded and said, "Since the county lord is interested, then I am willing to do it." The so-called gentleman cooks far away, I don't think he really doesn't cook it himself. It's an honor to be able to cook for someone like the county lord! Actually, looking at the county lord's face, I don't feel hungry anymore. ”

The county lord of Dingxiang immediately turned black and said, "I'm so unappetizing? ”

"Hehe, no, no, no, it's precisely because the county lord is beautiful that I feel 'beautiful and delicious'!" Shi Bufan hurriedly said.

"You still say!" The county lord of Dingxiang snorted.
