Chapter 37 The military generals of the Tang Dynasty
Xu Yang is here to make soy sauce today, he didn't put a fart, the meeting will be dispersed, he also enjoys the city, this summer, hurry back to the village to eat a bowl of cold shaved ice is the right thing.
Li Ji was appointed Minister of National Defense, Li Er's hand is a bit big, and the current Li Tang Dynasty is the time when hormones explode, seeing that everyone wants to do a fight, meddling in affairs and grabbing turf, the position of Minister of Defense is not granted to ordinary people. Before Li Ji, the most famous defense ministers such as Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Hou Junji, Li Ji's predecessor was Li Er's eldest brother, Sun Wuji. Counting Li Ji's five defense ministers, three of them are Li Er's henchmen, only Li Jing and Li Ji are not, the reason why the two can get to this position is because they can fight, and Li Er still needs capable subordinates now.
Later, Xu Yang thought about it and felt that something was wrong, Datang is now a fierce general, and he can send a few random to beat the old horseman of Yuangai Suwen all over the ground to find teeth, why did Li Erfei specially hold a high-level meeting to discuss? Do you also say that you want to drive in person?
Thinking of the seemingly nonexistent smile at the end of Li Er's meeting, Xu Yang instantly felt that Li Er was testing something again, with an eerie chill behind him, this damn court is really not a place for people to stay, it is estimated that this time, Li Er is testing those bigwigs in the court again, and his own little shrimp has also been tested in his pocket.
During the Warring States Period, there was a general named Yang Youji in the State of Chu who was good at shooting, and he often played two birds with one stone, and because he was invincible on the battlefield, he became a superstar, which caused his boss to go crazy with jealousy. In one battle, Yoyuki rushed to the front as usual, and his boss was concentrating on the enemy. Shoot an arrow at him in the back. It killed him. But later, his superiors reported that Yoyuki had died in the chaos.
The best place to kill people is on the battlefield, whether it is killing the enemy or killing your own people, you can "die in the chaos" as an excuse, the chaotic battlefield, there is no paparazzi, and there is no surveillance. Say whatever you want.
When Xu Yang was in Baidu for a long time in the history of the Tang Dynasty, he carefully read all the "New Tang Dynasty Book", "Old Tang Dynasty Book" and "Zizhi Tongjian", compared them, and found some clues from them.
There are three great wise generals in the Tang Dynasty, one is Li Jing, known as the god of the Tang Dynasty, the first person who deserves to be the first, and no one can stop him from the great achievement of destroying the Turks, and then Hou Junji, from the dragon's work. All the way to Li Er, he also won the court. The last one is Li Ji, who took refuge in Li Er after Wagangzhai, and he can be regarded as a halfway dragon, and his achievements are not small.
After the world was settled, Li Er became more and more indifferent to the generals around him, and the relationship between them became more and more impersonal, and he could share the joys and sorrows, not the same wealth, which is very reasonable, even if Li Er has been one of the best among the emperors, but still can't change this fact, especially after the crown prince, Li Er gradually changed from trust to fear for the fierce and intelligent generals in the past.
Li Er was not afraid that they would threaten him, but that they would threaten his son.
According to Cheng Qian's simple experience, he can be played to death by these battle-hardened generals, so Li Er no longer tests the generals in the court all the time, and gradually changes from trust to looking for opportunities to get rid of them.
In Li Er's heart, Li Ji is the biggest stone in the military circles, and there are mainly three people in the government and military circles during the Zhenguan period, one is Li Jing, this kid knows the form better, after the Turks returned, he took the initiative to retire at home, raise flowers and grass or something. The other is Hou Junji, who is now the prince's confidant, so Li Er is also very relieved, so only Li Ji is left. In Li Er's eyes, although Li Ji's stone is really like a stone, motionless and silent, there is no guarantee that one day, the stone will fission, and a monkey who likes to make trouble in the heavenly palace will pop out of it.
Li Er's high-level meeting was precisely to test the focus and ambition of the generals......
The house in Dunhuafang is about to be built, and Jin Shengman's side is about to give birth, Xu Yang doesn't dare to tell her about Goryeo's invasion of Silla again, let alone sรน her, her sister has been asking Datang for help now, if it's not good, she has to go back to her parents' house to find her sister, with such a big belly, it will make Xu Yang crazy.
The merchants in Chang'an didn't care much about when Guiguzi's concubine would have children, and they were still looking forward to Xu Yang's initial announcement that he would publicly sell the shares of the cement factory, glass factory, and brick factory.
Nowadays, paper money is popular, not only some businessmen use it, but also some nobles have used paper money for pride, and even heard that the land of smoke and willows in Pingkangfang is now popular paper money for rewards, which has strengthened their determination to follow in the footsteps of Xu Caishen.
There was a recent accident in Nanshan Academy, an explosion occurred in a department that researched natural biogas in Houshan, and five people died, all of whom were disciples of the Mo family.
Since then, the academy has included the use of natural gas as a first-class hazard item, and plans to study it in the future.
Midsummer is coming, Nanshan Academy's annual recruitment is about to begin, from the beginning of its establishment, after two years of change, the academy has become more and more mature, the system division, teachers and students, rules and regulations, have been perfected, so that Li Er has to be surprised that he has tested the students of the academy, compared to the students supervised by Guozi, the students of Nanshan Academy seem to be more intelligent, they do not take memorizing the "Four Books and Five Classics" as the goal, they are learning unique astronomy and geography, mathematics and physics, for the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, These students even know better than Li Er.
Li Er has always been a little puzzled, he can't figure out why the students supervised by Guozi will only be the same, and the students of Nanshan Academy are not only brilliant in literature, but also understand a lot of things, not to mention astronomy and geography.
It wasn't until Li Er watched a geography exam of the academy students that he understood why the gap was so big.
A geography test paper, which is densely filled with words, Li Er can only do a few questions by himself, and there are many things that he doesn't even know, what is the reason for the elevation of the Yellow River, what is the only passage from Longzhong to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, what Qinshu post station has been preserved for the longest time so far, etc., etc., these questions simply make Li Er a little crazy, he has never even heard of these things, and listening to what Mr. Li Gang said, these are what students must learn to do, If you don't know how to do it, and you don't get 60 points in the final exam, you will have to take a make-up exam next year, and if you still don't get 60 points in the make-up exam, the college will automatically let you repeat the grade.
"Mr. Li, I have always been very curious, why are the students of the academy so humble, I feel that they have all learned and become rich, far surpassing those students of the Guozijian, but in front of me, they do not talk about governing the country at all, just where the Tao needs to build a bridge, where the tax needs to be increased, and I met those students in the Guozijian, they opened their mouths and closed their mouths are the words of sages, and between raising their hands is the great theory of governing the country, they look like they have blood in their hearts and the country is easy to govern?" Li Er was in the academy, and asked Li Gang, who had a warm face, he was very curious, he went to Guozijian in the morning, and came to Nanshan Academy in the afternoon, the students in the two places, the completely different styles left a deep impression on him.
"Back to Your Majesty, the students of the academy used to be the same as the students of Guozijian, and later Xu Guigu personally gave them two speeches, and they became like this." Li Gang twisted his beard with a smile, "The academy pays attention to the word 'bowing', and Xu Gong once said, 'It is shallow on paper, and I never know that I have to bow down.'" In Nanshan Academy, reading the book of the sage is not the most important thing, the important thing is what you can do, and people who can only talk at length will not be respected and admired in the academy, only by contributing to my Datang with their own hands is the goal of the academy professors and students, so the academy often sends those students to the countryside to contact the people, and go to the county government to learn from some small officials............
