Chapter 492: Tunbao's Responsibility

Li Chen positioned, the band began to play, this is a song, when the music performance is at a certain point, Li Chen began to draw the bow. www.biquge.info With the music, he began to shoot arrows, four arrows in a row, just as he shot the last arrow, and the music ended.

Because of archery, this is a sport that has been passed down from the Zhou Dynasty to modern times. Even Master Kong advocates archery, so there is a fixed process, and Li Chen shoots with a racket, which is also a process.

Shooting salute is an important ritual in Chinese culture, which pays attention to modesty, courtesy, and solemnity. From antiquity to the present day, there is a complete and strict set of procedures.

In the Book of Rites, there are two kinds of village shooting salutes and big archery salutes, and in detail, there are four kinds. The governor of the township doctor is the township shooter, which is held by the local magistrates such as the township doctor to teach the people etiquette, Dunhua folk customs, and recommend the virtuous and virtuous.

The presiding officer is not the local administrative officer, but they have to invite the local virtuous fathers and elders to be virtuous but have no official position to come forward. The magistrate is to come and invite. Then, the attendees are usually all talented people, not everyone can participate, so this also has a sense of talent.

There is also a swallow shooting, which is an archery competition held by the Son of Heaven and the princes on weekdays. When the princes meet the Son of Heaven or the princes meet, the guest shot is held. Finally, there is the big archery, which is the time of the festival, and the archery competition is held.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were two salutes a year, "Sanjiu Shooters", March 3 and September 9. However, at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, some people played a salute, which consumed the country and damaged people, and it was canceled because it was not virtuous and not powerful enough.

Although in the twenty-first year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Xuanzong resumed the autumn shooting on the grounds of "Yongjian Grand Ceremony, not forgetting the old chapters, and shooting Hou to view virtue, how can he love sheep and go to the ceremony". But it still didn't last. Li Chenjue's is a kind of depravity.

Does it matter if you shoot an arrow or not? Of course, it is important, and don't forget that in ancient times, bows and arrows were sharp weapons. Advocating archery is not only a national sport, but also an important matter related to national defense. This is an important spirit of Confucianism, Confucianism does not advocate any forbearance, what arrows to shoot to forbearance, Confucianism pays attention to courtesy, not forbearance.

Archery, whether it is a scholar or a student, is an equal competition. You also have to respect each other and be humble to each other, but no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with forbearance, you can shoot arrows to win people, and if you are really unhappy, you will be given an arrow. Later, the Chinese had to retreat and be conservative, because the Manchus castrated the spirit of the Chinese, and it had nothing to do with Confucianism.

You say that Confucianism is not good, but archery is advocated in both Japan and South Korea in modern society. Japan's traditional archery team, the Korean archery team is also very strong, and in 2016, they also won all the gold medals in archery at the Brazilian Olympics. Kyudo is also practiced in Korea. It's strange, everyone is advocating, but the Chinese threw him away?

Basically, the Chinese have to shoot salutes, and since the death of the Ming Dynasty, they have disappeared. Although there were still some autumn salutes and Dayue archery salutes in the Qing Dynasty, they were actually far away from the ancient archery salutes like Liao Jinyuan.

Therefore, Li Chen doesn't know what the future holds, but now that he has some money, he wants to recover him. The people of Datang can't help but bow and arrow, which is also a national sport. Of course, Li Chen changed some rules.

First of all, he still has a place. Theoretically, the salute should be in the palace of archery. However, there was no palace called Shooting Palace in the Tang Dynasty, and it was usually held in a certain palace only a few days ago. During the Zhenguan period, there were shooting salutes, such as the Wude Palace, the Xuanwu Gate, the Yifeng Palace, the Guande Hall and so on. In order to advocate it, Li Chen changed it to the stadium.

After Li Chen finished shooting, a guard walked quickly in front of the runway target, and pulled out the four arrows, fortunately, Li Chen was not ashamed, all four arrows were hit, the audience applauded warmly, the distance was ninety steps, about one hundred and thirty-five meters, and it was not easy to shoot.

Then, the ministers were replaced, and Li Chen was very considerate, dispensing with the dispatch of some prime ministers who were not very good at shooting, and then added a few other officials who were good at shooting.

sounded, Li Deyu played first, don't look at his age, draw the bow in the music, and shoot. The music stopped, and the guard quickly walked from the target, pulled the arrow back, and loudly reported the results. This arrow stays, shoots down, this arrow rises, and the arrow is set up.

In addition, there are left and right sides of the arrow, which represent deviation from that direction. If you don't shoot, you naturally don't report it. Then, this target is made of deer skin, which is called deer. The Son of Heaven is a bear skin called Xionghou.

Originally, Li Chen also wanted to change it to the kind of ten rings in later generations, and it would be good to report the score at that time, otherwise, just relying on such a simple number would not be detailed enough for the competition. However, it was too late, so it could only be changed later.

Oh, oh no, as he spoke, someone missed the target, and he saw a young official, with a bow like a full moon, holding his breath, and when an arrow was fired, he watched a shadow flash by, brushed past the target, and shot towards the audience.

Don't be nervous, no tragedy. The target is ten paces away on both sides, with a fence, about seven feet high and wide, which is a protective measure, so as not to miss the target, not to mention shooting people, and it is not good to shoot flowers and plants. Not everyone is a marksman, even if it is Tang Chu, there is also the kind of four arrows that miss. It's really so miserable, there is a penalty wine prepared next to it, a big glass full, and you can do it yourself.

Soon, a few people finished shooting, and there weren't many people in total, it was just a ceremony, and the real highlight was in the later competitions.

Immediately after that, the official finalists entered. It was played with turtle music. The Tang Dynasty was very popular and sounded more dynamic than Yale. However, this song was newly composed by Li Chen, Li Chen hummed a modern march, and then perfected it by Yang Er, as soon as it was played, the audience couldn't help but hum along, which was more exciting than Guizi music.

Then, first of all, there was a shot, and everyone tried to shoot four arrows first. Once everyone has finished one round, then start the second and third rounds.

Among them, Li Chen changed some rules. First of all, in this game, the Ministry of Rites is conducted according to the rules of the Township Shooting Ceremony. According to the traditional rules, it should be divided into three couples, six local talents who participate in the salute, two by two, divided into upper, middle and lower three couples.

Then each couple takes turns to play, one person shoots and the other is replaced. A shot is not scored. Then the second shot becomes all the guests present, no matter what your identity, can be voluntary, form a couple, and everyone takes turns shooting. The third and second times are the same, but the music will be added, and you have to shoot according to the beat, and if you don't follow it, you won't be scored.

Li Chen simplified everything, directly followed the game mode, and maintained three shots. The difference is that the first shot can choose to keep the score, while the second and third shots have to be shot according to the beat. The average of the results of any two rounds will be used for scoring.

It can be regarded as turning the traditional model of similar fun and winning into a competition mode, and only the top few are taken. Then there will be a prize money and a prize from the magistrate to get honored.

Li Chen replaced the bonus with glory, on the one hand, he could save some money, originally, how much did this archery cost? Bring your own weapons, just prepare a target if it's great, most of the heads are rewards, in the past, as long as the shooting was not too bad, there was a reward, but now limit the number of people, and you can save a lot of money.

In addition, many times, glory is much more important than bonuses. It can also motivate everyone to participate in the competition. Hope. Didn't you see that when you were determined to win the first, second and third places in the final competition, and received the gold medal representing glory from Li Deyu, you were so excited?

Watching the three and three leave in twos and twos, they talked endlessly, and they couldn't help but imitate the crowd of people who drew the bow, and Li Chen, who returned to the palace with the dusk scenery, believed that this would stimulate many people to devote themselves to the sport of archery.

In the same dusk, far away in Longxi, a team had just set up camp, and after dinner, it was the usual time to speak, and the soldiers surrounded the speaker, listening to the speaker's story, Chu Er and Wei Da were talking.

'It's that kind of land, it's a little disappointing, although it's divided into dozens of acres, but it's allotted land, and you have to reclaim it yourself. Wei Da said this, Chu Er replied, "Be content, reclaim it, raise it for a year or two, and the harvest will not be lost to the cooked land, and it will be tax-free in the past few years, although it is in Longxi, but there is nothing bad about it." ’

That's right. Wei Da nodded, "But you said that Chen Da Niu broke his hand, how will he farm in the future?" ''Didn't you say that he would become a tun official in the future?'' He can also train with one hand left, and if he cultivates, someone will help him do it, and it is not his business alone. Chen Daniu is a fellow villager of the two, and in this battle of Hehuang, he broke his hand and was directly arranged to retire.

It's retired, but it's not useless. The area of Longxi was devastated by the fear of heat, ten rooms and nine empty, hundreds of miles of uninhabited, houses were burned down, and they urgently needed to be rebuilt. For this reason, the entire strategy of Hehuang and the recovery of the four towns of Anxi have been suspended.

If you want to hit the four towns of Anxi, the distance is too far, and tens of thousands of troops will pass, although it will be withered, but the logistical pressure is also very great. If the land of Hehuang is still intact, the pressure is still light, but now that Hehuang is under the rule of the Tubo people, the people's livelihood is withered and dilapidated, and they can't afford such heavy logistics work.

Therefore, the whole strategy operation, paused, the first thing is to restore the production of the entire Hehuang area. Li Chen attaches great importance to this.

The land of Hehuang, to put it mildly, is withered and dilapidated, and a large amount of capital is urgently needed to re-establish the rule of the Tang Dynasty here, as well as to restore the people's livelihood.

But at best, Li Chen can let go and experiment with many new policies. Even, Li Chen has a lot more places to arrange for the victims. Although there are no major natural disasters in Datang at present, but the displaced people and disaster victims are still continuous, Li Chen ordered the world to check the escapees, and those who have no hukou are incorporated into the Xiang Army, and begin to emigrate to Longxi.

In addition to the Xiang army, there were many Tubo people, and those Tubo soldiers who surrendered, Li Chen entered the Xiang army and began to carry out the Tuntian supply and restore production in the Longxi area. This time, Li Chen was more merciful, and he didn't let go like the soldiers who were afraid of heat at the beginning, and cut off all the thumbs of his left and right hands.

Because the area around Longxi was originally a mixed area of Fan and Han, if the treatment was too severe, it was afraid of arousing resistance. Moreover, they are not like the soldiers who are afraid of heat, their discipline is too poor, and many of them have been contaminated with the blood of the Han people, so they must be repeated.

Li Chen chose to be strong, and replaced some of the soldiers who had been recruited before, and the soldiers who had been recruited to talk about heat fear, although after selection, some accumulated habits were difficult to change, and the malignant ones were all cut off their thumbs, and they were recruited with some more likely to be transformed.

However, there are still many people who are not inferior, and they have been unable to abide by military discipline, and they have not changed their military discipline, not to mention their own military discipline, and many Tibetan soldiers are also undisciplined. Originally, Xiaohu insisted on the possibility of education, although there was a punishment, but he did not kill his head, but now he can't do it with a heavy hand.

probably thinks that the Tang army is very easy to mix, what if he doesn't abide by discipline, anyway, the army has beaten too much, and it is solid. Most of them have been locked up in the small black house, and after they are released, they will abide by a lot of discipline, but many people forget the pain after the scars, and they will do it again after a while. Xiaohu simply made a heavy hand, and for those who refused to change after repeated teachings, he directly cut off his head.

At this moment, the discipline of the entire Tubo soldiers has improved a lot, they have abided by military discipline, and they have worked hard to learn Chinese, trying to behave like a Han person.

The rest, under Li Chen's instructions, cooperated with some new officials and began to carry out tuntian. This is also an experiment, although Tubo is now in decline, and has been taught by the Tang Dynasty to be a new person, but there will always be some small tribes that are not open-minded, and they can't live their lives, and they will come out to rob.

Therefore, Li Chen implemented the tuntian system. With retired soldiers as the backbone, every dozens of miles, there will be a fort, with cement to build a bunker, there is a two-person high rammed earth wall outside, and there is a cement bunker inside.

In normal times, ten households are used as a fort, ploughing the surrounding fields, and living in the tunpu. Ten households set up a tun chief, a tun chief, in normal times, organize spring ploughing and autumn harvest, idle time, will organize training. In the event of a war, the tun chief and the deputy tun chief gathered the people to see whether to defend the tun fort or take refuge in a nearby larger town.

And because many retired soldiers may be disabled, so every tunbao will have a variety of farming machinery and tools, of course, there are also cattle, like the peasant cooperatives have gathered the strength of the people, using various equipment, to grab the agricultural time. In wartime, it is also to gather the strength of everyone to resist the enemy.

Exploring the frontier is something Li Chen must do, but Tuobian will definitely encounter attacks and harassment by the aborigines, and there is no best, but if there is, will the people be left to fend for themselves? Therefore, Li Chen designed such a tunbao, which can be lived in peacetime and guarded in wartime.

Of course, this is to deal with the frequent incursions of small groups of enemies, and if there are large numbers, of course, it is necessary to send troops to strike. Of course, this is only an experiment in Tibet at the moment. Ten households, at least ten dings, whether it is enough or not, will be tested by time. Perhaps in the future there will be an increase in estrus, or a decrease in the number of Dingkou in a tunbao.

In addition to this, Tunpu has a greater effect, which is also an experiment. Those cantonment chiefs not only organized farming and trained civilians, but more importantly, they were also responsible for indoctrination.

Responsibility for indoctrination? That's right, these tunbao also have a responsibility for indoctrination. (To be continued.) )
