The Yellow River in this era is far from being the overhanging river that flooded in the later period. The mother river of the Yanhuang people is still clear at this moment.

The Yellow River really began to flood after the Tang Dynasty. From the beginning of the pre-Qin period to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains of the Yellow River was the place with the most wars, especially in Chang'an and Luoyang, where there was a major battle almost every few years. In the case of prosperity, these trees were also cut down to make palaces. Trees gradually became scarce, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River began to desertify, and the Yellow River began to flood.

After Emperor Shengzu unified the world, he attached great importance to the protection of the Yellow River, and also set up a construction department in the household department, which was responsible for the protection of trees in the surrounding areas of the Yellow River. Therefore, the water of the Yellow River, which is now presented to Shen Yun, is clear and gentle, and even during the summer flood, the water flow does not skyrocket. However, looking at the blazing sun above his head, Shen Yun couldn't help but let out a sigh.

It has been three or four months since he arrived in this era, but he has not even seen a light rain. I don't know when this thief will rain down, there has been no rain in the northwest of the empire for half a year, and if it continues like this, I don't know what the situation will become......

"Yuanrang." His Royal Highness Hu Gong's voice sounded behind him.

Shen Yun hurriedly turned around and said respectfully, "Uncle Zhang! ”

"I'll be in Mengjin in a while, I'll let Gong San follow you, and if there's anything, let him inform me!"

"Got it, Uncle Zhang! I hope Uncle Zhang has a smooth journey! Shen Yun said.

Just now, Hu Gong asked Shi Qian to inform him of this matter, and there was news from Yuyang that there was an urgent matter that Hu Gong needed to rush back to deal with. Therefore, after arriving in Mengjin, Hu Gong had to drive lightly and rush back to Yuyang as quickly as possible. Originally, Shi Qian, Hou Kan, Bai Xiaosheng and others would also go to Northern Xinjiang with Duke Hu, but considering that they hadn't seen their parents, wives and children for a long time, Duke Hu specially approved them to go back to Bohai County with Shen Yun first, and then go to Northern Xinjiang after meeting their parents at Milan Farm.

Shen Yun knew that he was not qualified enough, so he didn't ask Yuyang what was going on, but Hu Gong didn't shy away from telling him.

Yuyang, the capital of Yanzhou. It is near what is now Xuanhua. There are also those who say Beijing. In fact, Yuyang is located at the southern foot of the Yanshan Mountain Range and is in charge of the defense of the entire Yanshan Mountain Range. After the Han Shengzu unified the world, he expanded his territory to the north for 4,000 miles, reaching Lake Baikal as far north, so the protective effect of Yanshan on the Han farming civilization was reduced.

However, this area is the natural dividing line between agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization, with plains, mountains, and deserts. Based on this, the Holy Ancestor Emperor used this place as a place for military training, stationed a first-class legion flying cavalry here, and at the same time built the largest military academy in the whole empire--- Zhaowu University!

His Royal Highness Hu Gong is the sacrificial wine of Zhaowu University!

Of course, this was four years ago. In the past, the sacrificial wine of Shomu University was served by His Royal Highness Yinggong. This is also one of the important reasons why the emperor could not find enough generals to replace the original commander of the legion.

The number of students in Zhaowu University is fixed at 2,000 every year, but only 800 qualified students can really survive the four years! These 800 people can get the minimum rank of second lieutenant, the highest captain, and the least company commander assigned to the unit as long as they pass the graduation. Although the frighteningly low graduation rate is intimidating to many, more aspiring students are choosing to study at the world's most rigorous and largest military academy.

Zhaowu University is divided into a number of subjects, such as cavalry, infantry, baggage, staff and so on. Among them, the cavalry section is the most numerous. Cavalry is the pride of the Han Empire, and it is the first-class combat force of all countries in the world.

According to Shen Yun, the heroic cavalry is the nuclear weapon of the cold weapon era! A country without cavalry is doomed to be beaten passively!

Therefore, over the years, there have been fewer cadets graduating from the cavalry department, and the most time was when Emperor Shengzu was still in power, and 170 people graduated in that class. And this time His Royal Highness Hu Gong served as a sacrificial wine this session is an exception, there are 200 cavalry scientists who have survived the difficult four years, this year will be their graduation year, as long as they pass the last assessment of the university--- cross the grassland without a weight for 2,000 miles, and then safely reverse to graduate!

The so-called weightless is not the absence of weapons and horses, but the absence of any logistical supplies and no guides, relying entirely on their own foraging and discernment. In the vast prairie, there are only a few nomadic tribes who have long been attached to the Han Dynasty to graze, and in this feudal era without electrification, the difficulties faced by these students can be imagined.

His Royal Highness Hu Gong had to deal with these cavalry cadets--- it was estimated that they should have returned to Yuyang a month ago, but until now, they have not been heard from. A full two hundred seeds are excellent cavalry officers carefully cultivated by Hu Gong since he served as a sacrificial wine, even if he encounters unpredictable dangers through the prairie, he will not be able to return to any of them! Therefore, His Royal Highness Duke Hu must rush back urgently and lead the team to find it!

Faced with this matter, Shen Yun couldn't have more comfort for Hu Gong, so he could only say: "They may be lost on the road, and they may be ...... after a while."

Halfway through speaking, Shen Yun still shut up. Because he found that Hu Gong's face was very ugly.

Shen Yun understood after thinking about it casually. If they will all get lost in their own territory, then how can they be expected not to make the same mistakes when directing battles in the future? Regardless of whether Hu Gong can find them this time or not, these students will face the fate of not being able to graduate!

As he spoke, Meng Jin arrived. This is the largest port leading to Luoyang in Shangdang County and Surabaya County, and it is also a checkpoint that merchant ships from all over the country must pass through to enter the emperor, so the prosperity here is not inferior to that of Luoyang. Gaocheng Dafu, merchants are everywhere, and the wharf is full of people, and it is very lively.

When His Royal Highness Hu Gong's official ship sailed into the port, two small boats flying the flag of the City Patrol Division had already greeted him and took the official ship to a separate berth. The two sturdy inspectors stepped on the official ship and saluted Hu Gong, who was standing at the bow of the boat: "Your Highness, the horses have been prepared, but it is getting late, do you want to rest all night in Mengjin and leave tomorrow?" ”

Hu Gongdao: "No need, I'll set off immediately." This is the return of the prince of Bohai Hou to his hometown, you have arranged for your life, and tomorrow you will send some people to send the prince to Yanjin ferry. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" The inspector stepped aside very respectfully.

Hu Gong is a standard martial artist, and he said without the slightest twist: "Yuan Rang, I'll take a step first." If there is anything after returning to my hometown, let Gong San write to me, Bohai County is not far from Yuyang, and the flying cavalry is coming, I will take care of you if you say anything! ”

When Hu Gong said this, he was obviously worried about Shen Yun's return to his hometown this time, Shen Yun didn't know, but at this moment, he could only take one step at a time, and bowed down and said, "Your Highness, go slowly!" Bon voyage! "In front of people, Shen Yun still has to call His Highness.

Hu Gong and his guards had already gone ashore, and without even looking back, they squeezed through the crowd and headed north. This time, there were more than 400 guards led by Hu Gong, and these soldiers got off the boat one after another, and when they got off the boat, they also carried large wooden boxes in groups of two--- which contained the stolen money from Shen Yun's "crime" this time.

Thirty-six billion gold coins, half of the Yulin Secret Guard was leaving, Shen Yun took out another 800 million to His Royal Highness Duke Hu, and also distributed 200 million to Fang Cheng, and the others each shared a part of it. At this time, Shen Yun only had 200 million left.

For these gold coins, Shen Yun followed Fang Cheng's suggestion, found a mall Dafu, and deposited the gold coins in batches in the Imperial Bank. I don't know if it's an irony to steal money from the bank and have to deposit it back, but apart from the Imperial Bank, Shen Yun can't think of a better place to store it.

That's the power of the monopolistic industry, no matter who the money belongs to, it's always in its own hands.

At first, Shen Yun thought that billions of gold coins were a lot, but as soon as he heard His Royal Highness Duke Hu talk about it on the ship, he realized that the 800 million gold coins he gave were actually only enough for the flying cavalry army to carry out a battle of up to 2,000 miles! And it has to be the kind of quick victory, once the battle is in a stalemate, the money spent is even less counted!

However, for ordinary people, 200 million gold coins can already spend the rest of their lives in peace.

Shen Yun handed over all this money to Shen Wu for safekeeping. Shen Wu wasn't surprised when he saw the money, let alone asked where the money came from. Shen Yun was a little embarrassed about this. But then Fang Cheng told him, "That's the advantage of being a master, you only have to give orders, and the subordinates will never ask why!" ”

In fact, Shen Wu was like this when he served Shen Mu before, never asking why, only what to do. Slowly, Shen Yun got used to it.

By the time Shen Yun arranged things properly, especially when his father's coffin was arranged, it was already the time for the willows on the moon.

Bai Xiaosheng had already rented an independent courtyard at the Huaiyuan Inn, the largest in Mengjin City, and a total of fifty-six people, including these people from the rivers and lakes, all lived in it.

Bai Xiaosheng, Hou Kan, Zhang Ji, Ouyang Fu, Shi Qian, Shi Laosan, and the strong man Kunlun Nu all followed Shen Yun, in addition to the more than 20 family members who Shen Wu asked for from Shen Zhan, and there were a lot of people.

Later, Shen Yun led everyone to worship the coffin of Bohai Marquis Shen Mu, and then washed and ate. Everyone went back to the room one after another, but Shen Yun was still keeping vigil in the temporary mourning hall where the coffin was parked.

At this time, there was a coughing sound outside the room, Shen Yun heard the voice, and raised his voice: "Gong San, why don't you sleep yet." ”

Shen Yun also learned yesterday that Gong San was not Gongfu Xiao's servant, but the liaison between His Royal Highness Hu Gong and Hu Gong who stayed in the imperial capital to be responsible for the contact between the imperial party and Hu Gong and others. This time, Duke Hu didn't know what he had discussed with the emperor when he returned to the emperor, but Gong San began to follow Shen Yun instead. From this point of view, Shen Yun felt that this Gong San was more like a double agent.

Gong San is indeed the Ji Zi of the Huainan Gong family. He was born in the military, and he has always served under His Royal Highness Hu Gong, and he is one of His Royal Highness's most intimate and trusted subordinates.

Gong San was wearing regular clothes, with a black gauze tied to his left arm, which was considered to be for Bohai Hou Dai Xiao, and his triangular eyes were still annoying to look at, but Shen Yun, who knew his ability, did not reveal this emotion.

"It's so late, hasn't the prince not slept?" Gong San said with a smile.

Shen Yun said: "According to the etiquette system, I must keep filial piety for three years, and I must not fall asleep until the end of the day every day...... You don't even know that? ”

Gong San said: "The men of our palace family were soldiers in the era, how can they be so particular about being soldiers." These filial piety systems are also qualified for you to enjoy, to implement, if we, hehe, a piece of horse leather is our coffin, how can there be these flags and mourning halls! ”

"The horse leather shroud is not for a tragedy!" Shen Yun seemed to have a faint sadness in his listening to Gong San's words, so he had to say these unnutritious words, and only after a while did he say: "His Royal Highness Duke Hu asked you to stay by my side, what about the imperial capital?" ”

"Naturally, someone is in charge of the imperial capital." Gong San seemed to have something to say, but he stopped talking.

Shen Yun just wanted to ask, but at this moment, there was an unusual commotion outside the courtyard.

It's the dead of night, who's making noise outside?

Shen Yun frowned and walked out. Gong San followed.

Outside the courtyard through a corridor is the lobby of Huaiyuan Inn, at this moment the lobby is brightly lit, there is a group of men wearing Hanfu, but the behavior is a little nondescript, there are more than a dozen. They sat around a table, rhythmically slapping the tabletop, clapping and singing, the tone was very strange, Shen Yun seemed to have heard it somewhere, and he couldn't remember it when he thought about it. There were also three or four petite people with black veils on their heads and kneeling in the corner of the lobby, sobbing incessantly.

The cousin stood in front of the counter with displeasure on his face, and kept talking to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was also gloomy, but he seemed to be a little jealous and did not come forward.

Shen Yun didn't care so much, and walked over with anger and said, "Shopkeeper, it's so noisy, how can we rest?" ”

The shopkeeper's surname Jiang is a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with a high crown and a loyal face, when he saw Shen Yun who was wearing linen and filial piety coming over, he knew that this person was the Marquis of Bohai who came down with His Royal Highness Hu Gong's official ship, and hurriedly accompanied him with a smile: "Forgive me, it's not that the villain didn't stop those Japanese slaves, it's just that these Japanese slaves have tributes on their bodies, if they are in front, they will definitely break the tribute, and then blackmail the ...... of the shop!" ”

Slaves? Japanese?

Shen Yun looked curiously at the pile of people who were still shouting over there. Those people's Hanfu does look like a kimono in later generations, but it is even more sloppy, and the small pillow behind it seems to be gone. Knowing their identities, Shen Yun remembered that the song they sang just now seemed to be --- "Jun's Generation???

The national anthem of Japan?

Depend on!

Shen Yun almost jumped up. There is no fuss about the Japanese singing "Kinoyo", but the problem is that this is the Han Empire, not modern Japan! How could they sing "Kimi's Generation"?

…………………… Dividing line ........................

PS: Aunt Baidu said that "Jun's generation" was designated as the Japanese national anthem in 1999. But no matter what time it is, it's really unreasonable to appear here, hehe...... It's a complicated story, I said.
