Finally, the goose-feather snow fell again one after another, covering the earth in a layer of silver. Due to the cold weather at this time, Allure, who does not often do rough work, developed chilblains on her hands, making her originally white hands look red and swollen.

In this regard, I couldn't help but say funny: "Look at your hands, how can they freeze like a bear's paw." ”

She smiled and said, "yes, do you want to taste it?" ”

I laughed and said, "It's still free, I can't afford it." ”

Afterwards, I poured half a bowl of sorghum wine and lit it with the fire, then lit the wine fire with two fingers, and repeatedly rubbed and rubbed the red and swollen areas of her hands to help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Oh, beware of burning your hands!" ”

I smiled and said, "How can it burn out, haven't you seen this kind of treatment to promote blood circulation and eliminate stasis and swelling before?" ”

She shook her head and said, "In the past, if my hands were frostbitten, the imperial doctors would prescribe special treatments for chilblains. ”

I couldn't help but say: "That's it, how dare the imperial doctor rub your hands like me, it's strange that the emperor is not jealous when he sees it." ”

She immediately rolled her eyes, but said, "It's really strange, how can you put your hand in the fire and act like it's all right?" ”

I said, "That's because I know the nature of fire better than you do." ”

"The nature of fire?" She was puzzled.

I said, "Well, fire itself is a kind of energy, an energy that is released when a chemical reaction occurs in a substance; As long as you understand what kind of property it is, you will understand how to use it more efficiently. As she spoke, her hands had been taken care of, and I said again: "Okay, you won't work for the next two days, and I'll just leave the cooking to me; Anyway, it's almost the New Year, and Zhang Jing should be back in the next two days. ”

She couldn't help but say, "It's okay, it's just a little frostbite." It's not a disability again. ”

I said, "Don't be stubborn, lest people see me and think I'm abusing you again." ”

She smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll rest for two days and work when my hands are better." ”

I smiled and shook my head, and then asked, "By the way, I remember that your birthday should be almost here, right?" ”

She nodded and said, "Yes, on the third day of the first month." ”

I nodded and said, "Well, how are you going to celebrate your birthday?" ”

She smiled and said, "How else can I celebrate my birthday; You cook a few delicious dishes, and then make a bowl of longevity noodles, Sister Jing'er, and the three of us have a few glasses of sorghum wine. Isn't it just a birthday? ”

I said, "Okay, I'll make you a birthday cake when the time comes, so that you can feel a different flavor of birthday customs." ”

Speaking of the cream needed to make cakes, people have already mastered how to make this thing as early as 3,000 years ago. Of course, the Chinese method of making cream came from India, so I think it was passed down along with the Buddhist scriptures.

Two days later, Zhang Jing and Qin Yi returned with the workers. At the same time, Qin Yi also brought about the current situation in the imperial court.

Qin Yi said: "There is news from the capital. Most of the ministers of the Yuan party who served in the court were sent to Kwantung to serve as governors of prefectures and counties; It seems that Dong Xiangguo has completely controlled the power of the government. ”

I couldn't help but say: "Things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, Yuan's doing this is just retreating." ”

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Hmm." There are rumors that Yuan Shao and others have been acting suspiciously recently, and they seem to want to gather people to make trouble, but I don't know if it's true. ”

I smiled and said, "The Yuan clan has almost no place in the DPRK now, if they want to turn the situation around." The only way to force the Son of Heaven to revoke Dong Xiangguo's authority was by contacting the local governor to raise troops to denounce him; There is no other way. ”

Qin Yi nodded abruptly and said, "I see; If so. Wouldn't the Yuan Taifu family in the court have to suffer? ”

I said: "Then it depends on what Dong Xiangguo thinks, once Yuan Shao and others raise troops is a foregone conclusion, it will be useless to kill Yuan Kui's family or not; If they don't kill, they may be able to play a role in restraining Yuan Shao and others; But if it is killed, except for adding a reasonable excuse for Yuan Shao and the others to crusade, it will have no other impact, at least the people will not be affected; However, the only thing that makes people a little worried is that once Yuan Shao and others raise troops, other people who want to make trouble will also take the opportunity to cause trouble; At that time, the situation will be difficult to control, and Dong Xiangguo may have only one way to move the capital. ”

"Moving the capital? Probably not, right? Qin Yi couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard me say this.

I said, "Although Dong Xiangguo nominally controls the military and political power of the whole country, not all the troops in the capital are willing to obey his command; As long as Yuan Kui is alive, those soldiers of the Xiyuan Army who have received the kindness of the Yuan family will still obey his command; Therefore, based on this consideration, Dong Xiangguo must also kill Yuan Kui, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure the unity of the command of the army in the capital; And once Yuan Kui was killed, the uprising of Yuan Shao and others became even more famous; When the time comes, the states and counties of the Kanto region will unite, and there should be more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, to say the least; As long as the training is carried out over time, it is difficult to resist the tens of thousands of sergeants with different orders in the hands of Dong Xiangguo; Moreover, there are also white wave thieves who claim to be 100,000 troops are in the rear at the moment, and if they don't move the capital, they will be attacked on both sides, and the situation of the imperial court will be even more difficult. ”

"I see." Qin Yi nodded. Then he asked: "If you were the leader, how would you fight this battle, and would you also choose to move the capital?" ”

I smiled and said, "If I were to command this battle, of course I wouldn't need to move the capital to win this battle." ”

There are three elements in fighting a war: First, the soldiers' military quality must be excellent; second, the weapons and equipment used in combat must be advanced; and third, the commander-in-chief's command means must be sophisticated. As long as you have these three points at the same time, a battle can be easily won.

When military strategists in the past talked about war, they usually always emphasized reliable intelligence and adequate supplies. However, it is not enough to emphasize these two points alone. How can you steal reliable information if your soldiers are not strong in military quality? Even if you can get reliable information, how can you be sure that you can win this war with that information alone?

It's good to need sufficient supplies to fight a war, but as long as my soldiers are much stronger than the opponent's, I can achieve the goal of replenishing my own army by grabbing the opponent's supplies. If the combat effectiveness of your soldiers is much weaker than that of the opponent, even if you have sufficient food supplies, isn't it the same as what you have prepared for the opponent?

The key to fighting a war is not to be talked about on paper, but the key is to get to the heart of the issue. Practice is implemented on the basis of theory, and theory is also accumulated on the basis of practice, which is a relationship that can be converted into each other, so that a war can also be won on paper.

Qin Yi couldn't help but say: "Chief, Yilu has an idea, I don't know if you agree?" ”

I motioned, "Tell me about it." ”

Qin Yi said: "Yilu wants to entrust the responsibility of the supervisor of the Fucheng store to Miss Zhang, and then Yilu wants to fight the world with you, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

I smiled and said, "Yes, anyway, Zhang Jing is already very familiar with the business management of the store, so it's okay to let her be the supervisor." ”

Qin Yi couldn't help but be happy: "It's great that you can agree!" ”

I laughed and said, "Hey, this isn't an unreasonable request, what's there to disagree with." ”

Qin Yi said, "Well, from tomorrow onwards, I will redouble my efforts to practice martial arts. ”

In other words, life does not need a positive fighting spirit all the time, and people with fighting spirit will never feel tired at any time. When one day you feel that you are tired and can't lift your fighting spirit, then it means that you are really old and can let go of the attachment in your heart. (To be continued......)
