Chapter 214: A Quietly Changing Era
The emperor's new prince is celebrating with the whole world, and Huo Guang is still his teacher, as if the world has forgotten this once prosperous young marquis, the peerless commander, only he is still in the hometown of Taixue. Music-Text
"You can see this picture now that is the infantry formation of the pre-Qin Dynasty," Huo Guang opened a picture scroll in the classroom, hung it on the wall, and then said to the thirty-six people in the classroom. Although Liu Xijun is still standing a little farther away, other people actually regard her as a member of the cadre class, and even Zhao Yinhua and Fan Ru have become friends with her in private.
The picture shown by Huo Guang depicts some soldiers wearing black military uniforms and holding two-zhang spears, and dozens or hundreds of soldiers form a phalanx, leveling the spears. This is exactly the spear phalanx of the powerful Qin army a hundred years ago.
"This is the most powerful army in the pre-Qin period, and now what you see is the crossbow array, when the Qin army relied on its dense salvo to sweep through the six countries, and even defeated the invincible Hun cavalry on the grassland for the first time." Huo Guang continued to unfold the second picture scroll, since he decided to teach these children some real skills, naturally he would not be limited to superficial deduction on the sand table, and the use of some military formations and arms was also within the scope of Huo Guang's teaching.
"Then what is the strongest class of our Han?" Someone stood up and asked.
Huo Guang looked at everyone, shook his head slightly, and said: "There is no absolute strength, and there is no absolute weakness, only the most suitable troops." For example, mountain cavalry and crossbows do not work, but in the battle of defending the city, crossbows can play a supernatural role. On flat terrain or swooping down from a high place, if tens of thousands of cavalry charged, even ten times the infantry could not stop it. ”
The victory or defeat on the battlefield is also determined by multiple factors, and the arms are in the right place at the right time, not to say that whoever has more people will be powerful.
"You can use different types of troops to deduce on different terrains in the future, and Fan Ru, you can consider the war from the perspective of logistics and act as a referee. Sometimes, the victory or defeat of the war does not require the direct destruction of the enemy army, if there are only tens of thousands of infantry, digging up the river can trap hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the quagmire, even if the two sides do not fight, it will be clear who wins and who loses after a few days. Huo Guang continued, in fact, in this era, war is far less complicated than that of later generations, but its cruelty is not weaker than that of later generations.
As Huo Guang passed on these knowledge and ideas to the Taixue disciples of these cadre classes bit by bit, time passed day by day, and these original gentlemen also changed day by day.
"Master Hou, the Sifang Pavilion and the Mutual Aid Medical Hall have been built." Huo Guang leisurely drank tea in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, today is the day of Taixue's rest, and he has a rare day at home, but Huo Tang's appearance has broken this rare leisure.
"Has Your Majesty gone?" Huo Guang closed his eyes and was still lying on the bamboo chair.
"Your Majesty should already be on his way." Huo Tang said as he lifted the lid of the teacup and added some water to it.
"Then when His Majesty leaves, let's go." Huo Guang slowly opened his eyes, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly.
When Huo Guang came to the Sifang Pavilion, it was already ten o'clock at dusk, here under the construction of Lu Shu, it became a magnificent and exquisite attic towering in Chang'an City, you can see the top of the attic from a distance, when the Sifang Pavilion is completed, it has become a landmark building in Chang'an City.
Huo Guang's arrival made the Sifang Pavilion close ahead of schedule, except for the guards guarding the Sifang Pavilion and the guards inside, there were only Lu Shu and Huo Guang and his party.
Looking at the Sifang Pavilion full of pictures of the scenery of various counties in the world, Huo Guang found that the picture scrolls here were very different from the style of those previous picture scrolls. In fact, as early as the first time Huo Guang depicted the nine counties in the southeast on the picture scroll, unconsciously a painting technique that focused on realism slowly appeared, and with the attention of the emperor and the imperial court, coupled with the completion of the Sifang Pavilion, this realistic painting technique has gradually formed into a genre.
Because of the relationship between Huo Guang and the premature popularization of paper, the emergence of the painting genre also led to the development of pigment technology, Huo Guang did not know, in fact, unconsciously, this era has undergone quiet changes in culture and art, and some things that should have appeared hundreds of years later have appeared in advance in the heyday of the Han Dynasty!
For the browsing of the Sifang Pavilion, Huo Guang showed some lack of interest, just looked at it casually, and then walked into the Mutual Aid Medical Hall opposite the Sifang Pavilion with his entourage.
The construction of the Mutual Aid Medical Center is not as majestic as the Sifang Pavilion, but the area of the Mutual Aid Medical Center is more extensive. There are various courtyards for different purposes, some similar to the different departments of later hospitals, and even a heavily guarded courtyard that is completely isolated from the surrounding area for the development of poisons.
Huo Guang walked into the Mutual Aid Medical Center and saw many acquaintances, the leader of which was Zhang Han, who he met in South Vietnam. Now Zhang Han has also been appointed as the chief of the Mutual Aid Medical Center because of Huo Guang's appreciation, and he is the person in charge of the Mutual Aid Medical Center.
"Master Hou, we have already begun to sort out the medicinal properties and characteristics of many drugs, and it won't be long before a book is written. It's just that there is no name yet, this is a pharmacopoeia that is enough to influence future generations to go down in history, and please give the name to Master Hou! Zhang Han followed Huo Guang to introduce the environment of the medical hall, and raised such a thing when Huo Guang was very interested.
"Oh? It's almost sorted out so quickly! yes, that's a great thing. Since it is a pharmacopoeia, it is better to call it "Shennong's Materia Medica", and after the complete compilation, Benhou ordered it to be printed and widely spread all over the world. Huo Guang is very happy about the completion of this pharmacopoeia, in Huo Guang's view, this is the real impact of the times, change the era of the project to benefit the people, and he knows that this era is not yet "Shennong's Materia Medica" and does not know when this pharmacopoeia appeared, so he simply took it as a name.
When Zhang Han and the other doctors heard the name set by Huo Guang, they all nodded and praised it even more: "This name is good, a good name, it is indeed a good name!" ”
"How's the construction of the poison hospital?" Huo Guang waved his hand, stopped these people's continued compliments, and then asked Zhang Han.
Hearing this, Zhang Han glanced at the crowd behind him, and his eyes gestured to the two people, and then the two people walked out of the crowd and walked behind Zhang Han, only to hear Zhang Han continue, "Master Hou, one of these two is the old man of Shuofang County, and the other is Gou Guang of Bashu. At present, the poison academy is the two of them, and there are few masters of using poison in the world, and these two are already the best among them. ”
"Yes, good. You two take me to the poison salon and don't let the others come. Huo Guang looked at the two masters who used poison and nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered everyone to enter the poison hospital with only Chen Nian Gou Guang.
This poison hospital is full of poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, and few people usually come. Now Huo Guang ordered everyone to dare not take half a step, Huo Guang and these two people stayed in the poison hospital for half an hour, and no one knew what they had talked about for such a long time. And since Huo Guang left, the two people in the Poison Institute have lived in seclusion since then, only knowing that countless medicinal materials have been continuously transported into the Poison Academy.......
Time flies, and seeing that summer has come to an end, Chang'an City is still as prosperous as ever. Since the dust has settled on the position of the prime minister and the imperial doctor, the entire court has become calm, and it seems that the entire Han Dynasty is about to spend the three years of this Yuan Ding in such a calm.
The court meeting of Weiyang Palace is going on as always, and since there is the prime minister and the imperial doctor, it seems that the court meeting has also become extremely smooth, and decisions can be made quickly and smoothly regardless of the size of the affairs. Until this day, a chamberlain hurriedly walked into the main hall, knelt down under the imperial palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Western Regions with the Marquis of Bowang have arrived in Youfufeng, and they will be able to reach Chang'an tomorrow!" ”
Emperor Wu of Han suddenly stood up, his face showing excitement that could not be concealed. At this moment, he seemed to see the scene more than ten years ago, when the man in ragged clothes and frost walked up to the Xuanshu Hall step by step, and then he knew that there were so many countries in the west of the Han Dynasty, and there were so many rich places, those rare treasures, those BMW horses were spurring him all the time, and there were still many things waiting to be done by himself.
However, this time, Zhang Qian did not disappoint Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Not only did he come back on his own, but he also brought with him the envoys of the countries of the Western Regions. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once again felt that he was in high spirits, and said to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu: "The Great Decree arranges for the missions of the Western Regions to stay, and tomorrow I will welcome the return of the Marquis of Bowang in Weiyang Palace." ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not say to meet Zhang Qian, but to greet .......
The news of the return of Bowang Hou Zhang Qian swept the entire Chang'an City like a hurricane, and the collective arrival of the envoys of the Western Regions made the people of the entire Chang'an City feel that they were really in the Heavenly Empire.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty greeted Zhang Qian in Weiyang Palace, Huo Guang was explaining to the disciples of the cadre class a unique military formation of a country called Great Qin west of the Western Regions.
"Tomorrow is my last day to teach you, is there anything else you want to learn? Tell me first, and you'll be able to do your own thing tomorrow. Huo Guang's half-year period is still the last day of tomorrow, and today he asked these nominal disciples.
"Anyang Hou won't come in the future?" Liu Jin asked a little reluctantly, he felt that what he had learned in the past six months after following Huo Guang in the past six months was probably inexhaustible for the rest of his life, and this knowledge could not be learned anywhere else.
Like Liu Jin's thoughts, everyone was actually reluctant to Huo Guang, if it weren't for Huo Guang making it clear that they were not allowed to call themselves teachers, I am afraid that these would have already been honored as disciples.
"It's been half a year, and when fate finally comes to an end, in fact, with what you have learned today, you won't be idle in the future!" Huo Guang still said calmly, as if this was not a separation, but just a story about something that had nothing to do with him.
"Alright, you all go back." Huo Guang closed his eyes and waved his hand to signal that these disciples could go.
Although everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts, they still followed Huo Guang's words, saluted Huo Guang one by one, and then walked out of the hometown. When everyone slowly left, Huo Guang opened his eyes, scanned the classroom, and looked at the place that left him with memories.
When Huo Guang looked at the empty classroom, there was just a lonely and somewhat weak figure still standing in the corner.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Huo Guang stood up, glanced at Liu Xijun, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the classroom.
"When the teacher said that fate will eventually end, then is it fate that we have met for half a year?" Seeing that Huo Guang was about to walk out of the classroom, Liu Xijun plucked up his courage and said hurriedly.
"As I said, the title of teacher is too heavy, don't scream!" Huo Guang paused at his feet, and finally stopped at the door of the classroom, but he corrected Liu Xijun's name again.
"Whether you admit it or not, in my heart, or even in other people's hearts, you are already our teacher, and you are our only teacher in this life!" Liu Xijun suddenly knelt down to Huo Guang, and then kowtowed heavily to the ground, shouting: "The teacher is above, please accept the disciple's worship!" ”
Huo Guang can't see people's hearts yet, he can feel Liu Xijun's sincerity, but whether there is anything else in this sincerity Huo Guang can't be sure. Huo Guang didn't look back, but took a step and chose to continue leaving.
When Liu Xijun raised her head, there was no longer Huo Guang in the old garden, Liu Xijun was slightly disappointed, she didn't know if what she did just now was right, but she knew that it was her last chance just now. It's just that Liu Xijun doesn't know if Huo Guang really chose to leave directly, or if she has planted a seed in Huo Guang's heart......
