Chapter 8 On Soldiers and Gambling

"I don't know what Your Highness thinks is the greatest basis for an emperor or a regime to unify the world?" In the study of King Zheng's mansion, Lin Feng was already wearing a Confucian robe and dark incense, with the image of a handsome son.

Early in the morning of the second day after moving from the floor shop of the incense candle shop to the courtyard of King Zheng's mansion, Lin Feng came to see Li Yu.

The night before, looking at the bright moon outside the window, Lin Feng thought for a long time, and sorted out the advantages or specialties he had after passing through.

He was depressed to find that after a month of repeated examinations and tests, he didn't seem to have anything to offer, except that his physical fitness might have been tempered in time and space, and he appeared stronger and more powerful than before. The intelligence value is still so much, and if the mind thinks too much, it will also hurt; There is no sudden existence of a lot of magical knowledge and memories in my memory, and I am still the original team. Lin Feng scolded the host of time travel in his heart, I knew that I wouldn't go to get the fruit knife, I just came over with my laptop, and there were a few masterpieces of time travel downloaded, politics, economy, culture, science and technology, the steps are very detailed, I just can't do it!

If this way doesn't work, he doesn't want to, so Lin Feng threw this idea aside. Live in the present, what will you do later? That's the most critical question. Lin Feng sat at the table for a long time, his fingers swiping his fingers across the table, and the moonlight seemed to be getting brighter and brighter. Well, a very eco-friendly environment and a suitable climate can be considered an unexpected gift for the traverser.

The night is getting deeper, the night is like a dream, and the night is as cool as water, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort.

"I think it's nothing more than the two aspects of national strength and force that Mr. talked about a few days ago." Li Yu said respectfully, it seemed that he really listened to Lin Feng's words.

"Not bad. The Book of Shang Jun? "Agricultural War" once recorded: "The national strength of the country". To put it simply, national strength should be the full strength of a country, a comprehensive reflection of the country's political, economic, scientific, technological, cultural, educational, resources, national defense, foreign affairs, and other strengths, and should be a sign of a country's strength or weakness. As for force, it mainly refers to military strength. Historical Records? The Biography of Wu Zixu once recorded: "Now the king is on his own, and he knows that the country is armed with force. If force is compared to a person's two fists, then national strength refers to the strength of the whole person, and how long the fist can dance is determined by how long the person who dances the fist can last. For us in Datang, infantry and sailors are like our two fists, and what kind of generals and generals we can select, how many soldiers we can send to the battlefield, and how long we can hold on to the battlefield depend on our comprehensive national strength. Lin Feng said slowly while sorting out his thoughts.

The furniture in the whole study room is made of solid wood, hollowing, carving and other skills are listed, each furniture is very detailed, the chairs and cushions are painted with gold wire, even the tea set is all the same color "Tianshui Bi", the collection of books is placed on two walls, and the protection is very meticulous and meticulous. Lin Feng sighed secretly, these objects are comfortable and soothing, and they are extremely self-cultivation, but there is no one related to military and government affairs, but they are completely in line with Li Yu recorded in the history books: "Extravagant, good voice, and fond of floating pictures, for high talk, not sympathetic to political affairs."

There are not many people in the house, one Wang Shenming, one Liu Cheng, and Li Yu's ninth brother Li Congqian in the corner. The lord Li Jing had a total of ten sons, but the first four sons died young. Among the remaining six brothers, Li Yu has the best relationship with the ninth brother Congqian, and they are inseparable in their daily lives. The day before, seeing that Li Yu was not there, he sneaked out early today and found King Zheng's mansion.

"The increase and decrease of national strength, for us now, can only knock on the side and quietly lead, just like slowly injecting clear water into a river, slowly driving the whole river to keep it clear and maintain the correct course. The strategy we can adopt should be to pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, agriculture and business, gather the greatest internal strength, unite the strongest external strength, and lead the national elite to actively forge ahead and work hard. Lin Feng continued.

The Southern Tang Dynasty can be said to be a wonderful flower in the development of ancient Chinese history. Its economic and cultural prosperity and development, "the Northern Tushi people have heard the wind and come to the sky", and the social and cultural prosperity can even be said to be unique among all the secession regimes in Chinese history, but it hides its own blade in the national policy of "resting the army and reassuring the people"; In the first half of the reign of the lord Li Jing menacing, like a tiger, 945 A.D. to destroy the Min State, 951 A.D. young to take the Chu State, the back became a sick cat, the Southern Tang Dynasty was taken out from time to time by the Hou Zhou from time to time to beat, 955-958 A.D. after the three years of the three wars lost the Jiangbei important land, it was "flying down three thousand feet", until the destruction of the country, and there was no male rise. I can't really say.

"To increase the national strength, we can work hard in terms of science and technology, commerce, diplomacy, etc., and the stakes are big, and we must take a long-term view. And force, I think, starts with the palace guards. Lin Feng knew that everything was difficult at the beginning, and he couldn't chew it out if he was greedy, so he could only start from the things around him.

"Starting with our guards? Are you having a convulsion in your brain?! Liu Cheng jumped up suddenly, put his hand directly on the handle of the knife, and stared at Lin Feng through gritted teeth. Liu Cheng has basically been a cold bystander since Liu Yu met Lin Feng, and it was really Xu Shu entering Cao Ying - without saying a word.

In his opinion, what about a group of nerds, who spit lotus flowers, in the end, it is not up to us people with knives to fight the world? Who knows, after this Lin Feng entered the mansion, the first fire burned to himself, and he immediately jumped out like a cat with its claws burned.

"Zhiqing, don't worry, and listen to Mr. Lin." Li Yu stretched out his hand to appease Liu Cheng.

Lin Feng looked at Liu Cheng and smiled silently. This Liu Cheng is also a typical capitulation faction. In the original history, when the Later Zhou united with Wu Yue to press the border, Li Yu sent this personal guard to guard the life passage east of Jinling-Runzhou. Faced with Li Yu's snot and tears, Liu Cheng also responded with tears. After going back, Liu Cheng took all the gold and silver treasures and set off, and declared in a high-profile manner to the outside world that these are all awarded to me by the current saints, and now that the country is in trouble, I will donate it all and do my best to defend the country. After arriving in Runzhou, Liu Cheng, as the commander of the city defense (Runzhou Jiedu envoy and stayed), faced a small number of Wu Yue's soldiers and horses, insisted on not going to war, and then coaxed the loyal Lu Jiang's elite soldiers to return to Jinling. As soon as Lu Jiang left, he immediately opened the city gate, asked Wu Yue to surrender, and changed the master's house.

"Brother Zhiqing's martial arts are outstanding, and he admires him tightly. But waiting for the palace is a great responsibility, His Royal Highness wants to make a splash, will attract a lot of coveters, at that time, the test of the palace's guard strength will be doubled, so Lin wants to work with Brother Zhiqing to improve the defense ability and efficiency of the guards. Lin Feng said unhurriedly. In fact, the most important point is that Lin Feng did not reveal that he hoped to find some good seedlings from the guards, not only as his own martial arts teachers, but also to arm them with modern war thinking, and cultivate them into the fire seeds of the future Southern Tang Army.

"I don't know what Master Lin has to say." Liu Cheng asked arrogantly.

"I know that this move will definitely make Brother Zhiqing unhappy and unconvinced. But when things are urgent, they have to do it as a last resort. In this way, I want to make two bets with Brother Zhiqing, I don't know if Brother Zhiqing dares to agree? Lin Feng began to cast a radical spell.

"Of course I dare, you can draw the line." Liu Cheng really couldn't be excited.

"I have an idea, I don't know if it's okay? A cultural fight, a martial fight, the winner of both games is the winner. Of course, Wendou is not a poem, but refers to an elegant physical competition, that is, I, a scholar, compete with the Zhiqing brother in a long-distance race, and the one who persists the longest is the winner. Martial arts, that is, Brother Zhiqing arbitrarily chooses the three with the strongest ability among the guards to play the assassins, and the rest of the guards are responsible for arranging the defense below. If not, you choose the topic. Of course, if you have to compete with me, I'll just throw in the towel. ”

In fact, Lin Feng is full of confidence in the two races, long-distance running, he was a marathon enthusiast before the crossing, what Beijing Marathon, Xiamen Marathon, Zhengkai Marathon he has participated in without leakage, and they all ran the whole course. What is the concept of that, 42.195 km. Even after the crossing, early every morning, Lin Feng ran 10 kilometers around the Qinhuai River.

Although this Liu Cheng is said to be a practitioner, looking at his pampered and blessed figure, he must not have enough stamina, and he must not be able to win his strengthened body. As for the drills and attacks, the mines, traps, ambushes, and cooperation of modern special operations, as a hardcore and angry youth, he has seriously studied one or two of them, and he must be able to deal with the ancient stupid Lengleng assassins more than 1,000 years ago. Moreover, from observing Liu Cheng's demeanor, he knew that this person was quite arrogant, and he still subconsciously looked down on the scholar who danced with his pen and ink, and he would definitely be fooled.

Liu Cheng never thought that this nerd would dare to ride on his head to show off his might, and he was angry: "Don't change, that's it." What time is it than? ”

"Wen Dou can compete tomorrow morning, Wu Dou, you have to give me three days to familiarize myself." Lin Feng said with a smile.
