Chapter 410: Dominating the Northwest (25)
That night, some gentlemen from the science gate went down to the camp to teach the soldiers to learn to read and write, but these gentlemen were not pure and pure readers, but a rough man, the soldiers in the barracks asked curiously, only to know that these gentlemen were originally not lowly craftsmen, or mud-legged farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, but under the teachings of Mr. Houlong, they are now literate and hyphenated, and have become serious practitioners, and their enthusiasm for learning is suddenly high - this craftsman and peasant can learn words, why can't we learn itWho has less head than whom?
Waiting for those special gentlemen to teach the class, the soldiers all feel very novel, the old master in the village school taught Mengtong everyone has seen, see Tian'er shaking his head and holding a book full of pour, the children in the next hall follow the back like a goose, if you can't memorize, a bamboo board will be beaten down.

But the gentleman of the science gate is not like this, what is taught the pinyin alphabet, simplified characters, and what multiplication formulas, and sometimes he sings with everyone, but it is "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions", this singing will be held, and military discipline will be kept in mind.
The gentlemen will also tell you stories, telling stories of all kinds of heroes and heroes in ancient and modern China and abroad, how they fought alone in desperate situations, and how they were locked up in the mountains and went to danger.
In that barracks, some grassroots officers have some foundations, the so-called poor and rich in martial arts, some generals have been in the army for generations, and their families also have some foundations, have learned some literature, and have read some training minutes handed down by their ancestors.
Not to mention anything else, there is a famous general surnamed Mao in the story, and the guerrilla tactics of encircling the city in the countryside, retreating from the enemy, and retreating from the enemy, are all extremely remarkable, and some people even think that with Mao's tactics, it is extremely easy to seize the world.
It's just that there is one thing that is extremely strange, that is, the gentlemen of the Science Gate, in the literacy class, do not talk about loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, nor do they talk about serving Mr. Houlong, and they keep saying that "we are the children of the common people, fighting to protect all the poor people in the world!"
This is to say, we are soldiers and eat food for the sake of food, and this poor man does not even have overnight food at home, so why should we protect him? Mr. Houlong should not be confused?-- no, no, of course Mr. Houlong cannot be confused, well, it must be Mr. Houlong's great mercy.
The generals in the camp muttered in their hearts, and they all felt that Mr. Houlong was too benevolent, but the gentlemen repeatedly instilled in the generals the truth of fighting for the common people, what we are all children of poor families, the grain we eat is grown by farmers, the armor on the weapons in our hands is made by craftsmen, even if it is the salary and silver received, it is also a tax collected from the people, so it is the people who feed us.
Not to mention, the gentlemen of the Science Gate talk like this every day, and there are really many soldiers who hear these words in their hearts, and these soldiers are all from a bitter background without exception.
After Ye Fei asked for punishment, he also became a big-headed soldier, honestly lived in a big tent, smelled the smell of feet and sweat, and studied with the big-headed soldiers, he was actually literate, and he didn't read the new edition of the books in Houlong Village, and he also wrote a good pencil, but he was extremely serious in class, and even helped Mr. teach some soldiers who were lagging behind in their studies, so he was quite loved by the soldiers, "Ah Fei, help me recognize these words." "Ah Fei, look, can I spell this pinyin correctly?" and other greetings, one after another in the tent.
When Ye Fei was helping the soldiers to study, he was secretly frightened by the idea of "the people's children and soldiers fighting to protect their fathers and fellow villagers" taught by Mr. Houlong Guo Dalu.
Ye Fei, as the Thirteenth Taibao, naturally knew that in addition to eradicating the literacy of the soldiers, Mr. Houlong Xiansheng was actually secretly gathering the hearts of the army, but in the past, from the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty to the military leaders in the northwest, what was used to buy the hearts of the army was just money, food, official hats, and women, and the so-called loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness were just talking about it on a large scale.
But Mr. Houlong actually told the soldiers, you are fighting for the common people!
Was this helpful?
Of course it works!
Ye Fei knew that the money and grain official hat women could not exchange for the real military heart, if the soldiers fought for the silver, then the enemy gave more silver, and they would immediately rebel, and in the same way, the official hat and the female color could not really make the soldiers return to their hearts and fight for it.
The Taibao fought against each other, often using gold and silver treasures or beautiful women to lure each other's men and horses to rebel, which can be described as invincible, and there were always many soft bones who betrayed the old master in order to eat more dog food.
However, this trick of money and sex bribery does not work in front of the Tianshan Camp.
Ye Fei himself commanded the Tianshan Battalion, holding high the banner of protecting the family and defending the country, the heroes of the Tianshan Battalion were all ruined by the invaders of the barbarian countries outside the territory, and all of them had a deep blood feud with the barbarians, it was precisely to protect their wives and children that they fought with the barbarians on the Tianshan Mountains, otherwise, with Ye Fei's Tianshan Camp lacking food and salaries, how could they keep these iron-clad heroes? The Great Taibao also spent a lot of money and sent a lot of ****** , lured several heroes under Ye Fei who could fight well to switch to other places, but they all refused.
What is this called--by the way, Mr. Houlong Guo Dalu once said, this is a soldier with ideals, fighting for his ideals, is the real warrior who will never betray!
However, people live in the world, they always have to eat, drink, wear and live, and it is really okay to rely on ideals and fight hungry?
Ye Fei sank his heart into the barracks, while studying and feeling Mr. Houlong's unique way of training, suddenly one day, bursts of earth-shattering cheers sounded from the camp, and Ye Fei, who was resting, jumped up from the board bed - no, it was the camp howling!
Ye Fei grabbed the knife and rushed out of the tent, but saw a group of soldiers cheering, not a battalion fighting, Ye Fei grabbed the shoulder of a soldier next to him, and said sharply: "What are you fooling around? Aren't you afraid of military law?"
The soldier couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "The field has been divided! Mr. Houlong has been so kind and virtuous that he wants to divide the field for us!"
Ye Fei stayed on the spot, dividing the field? What's going on?
At this time, Ye Fei noticed that the gentlemen who were in the science gate were standing around the camp at this time, reading a document loudly to the soldiers, and he squeezed over to listen carefully, but it was a proclamation of dividing the fields, in fact, the official name was not the division of fields, but the "Minimum Living Security Measures for Military Families in the Northwest".
The name of this method sounds tongue-twisting, in fact, the content is very simple, the scientific gate will develop hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, all the soldiers under the scientific gate, according to the level of the military position, each assigned a piece of land, this field property can not be bought and sold, not recognized, the soldiers do not need to farm their own fields, they can directly receive the annual output income of the field. Even if the soldiers are wounded and killed in battle, they can still receive this benefit until they die.
This is Guo Dalu's version of the Li Dynasty's version of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, and the Taibao in the northwest were wiped out by him, plus the newly developed fertile land after the discovery of the underground dark river, the land in his hands has millions of acres, which is enough to support a huge army.
However, Guo Dalu did not directly give the land to the soldiers, but gave the output of the fields, mainly to avoid military households like the Ming Dynasty, and finally spent a lot of energy on farming, or was exploited by the officers, so that the military household system was corrupt and unusable.
In the final analysis, Guo Dalu's move is an alternative joint-stock system, which firmly binds the soldiers to the chariot of the Science Gate, and he can also directly pay the soldiers silver, but where does the silver have fields It seems that it is real? Throughout the ages, the common people have attached great importance to the land, and can have a piece of their own land, and even the dream of some poor peasants for generationsSound.
Ye Fei knew that this field was Mr. Houlong's "big steamed bun" for the soldiers after the "ideal" of fighting for the people, so far, the soldiers in the northwest have all returned to the science gate, and their enthusiasm for training and learning is high, and they are all thinking about the next big competition, fighting with a knife and a gun, and dividing a good field -- it's just that I heard that what kind of cotton is planted in the field of the science gate, not millet sorghum, the cotton must be the unique fairy grass of the science gate, and when it is harvested in the future, the income in the field is indispensable.
Guo Dalu tossed in the northwest in a variety of ways, in various online novels in the country, the army and the people of the routine emerge endlessly, open the golden thighs, finally remember to give a document to the imperial court, inform himself that he has pacified the northwest, and ask the imperial court to send personnel to manage the northwest civil affairs and military - science is a cultivation sect, although it essentially occupies the northwest, but the appearance can not be too ugly, it is impossible to let all the disciples under the science door go to the prefectures and counties to open the yamen to sit in the court to try the case, right?
Of course, the imperial court can not eat the big steamed buns sent by the scientific gate in vain, and the officials and generals sent by the military must always listen to Mr. Houlong's opinions, and act in the local and military areas, and they cannot violate the law of the scientific gate, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a mud bodhisattva, but when the northwest military head is rampant, the imperial court wants to be a mud bodhisattva, and it is almost lost in the entire northwest.
But it was said that a fast horse from the northwest ran into the capital, and after a while, the military aircraft department sent an urgent report into the south study of the Forbidden City, and the old emperor opened the urgent report, only looked at it a few times, and just sighed: "This is actually an urgent report on the science gate--hmm?! The head of the Northwest Army rebelled, and actually set up a pseudo-Western Xia name--damn it! Damn it! Are all the spies under Xue Zhi eating dry food? Why didn't you hear any rumors?"
Lu Yueding said cautiously: "Shengshang, the head of Xue is now in Houlong Village, and he is the director of the Sanatorium under the Science Gate, this position of the head of the secret agent, the saint has not been appointed for a long time - and the northwest is under the control of the major military leaders, and the power of the imperial court is difficult to touch--"
The old emperor slapped his forehead, yes, the position of the head of the secret agent is extremely important, and he can't be entrusted with a big responsibility if he is not his own henchman, otherwise, it will be a disaster, so the old emperor has not appointed a new head of the post so far, so that there is such a big thing in the northwest, and he doesn't know anything.
The old emperor looked at it more carefully, didn't look at it a few times, and almost threw the emergency report to the ground-- "What?!Invasion of foreign barbarian countries?!Crossing the dangerous pass of the Tianshan Mountains?! Oh my God! The Great Li Dynasty has been established for more than 2,000 years, and has never allowed foreign barbarian countries to touch our northwest.
Lu Yue saw that the old emperor was so excited that his whole body was trembling, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Don't worry, the Holy Lord, since this urgent report is sent by the Science Gate, with Mr. Houlong's magical powers, he will definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster." ”
The old emperor smiled bitterly and said: "Although Mr. Houlong has great magical powers, he has always been in danger of destroying the country, and cultivators will not interfere in the war of the mortal world, so as not to consume the spiritual energy in vain, not to mention, the spiritual energy in the northwest is thin, he can't do it, he can't do it, and Mr. Houlong has a magical power, so what can he do?"
Lu Yueding was full of confidence: "Shengshang, the cultivation of the Science Gate is different from other schools, what is refined is the power of merit, not the aura of the five elements, the slave thinks that Mr. Houlong will be able to turn the tide and help the building to fall." ”
The old emperor calmed down slightly, and when he looked at it again, he suddenly lost his temper, snorted loudly, and slapped the desk heavily: "Dingyi in the northwest!" Mr. Houlong showed his might, punished the thief head of the pseudo-Western Xia, exterminated the barbarians of the Tianshan Mountains, and pacified the northwest in one fell swoop!"
Lu Yueding immediately knelt down: "Congratulations to the sage, congratulations to the sage, since the founding of Taizu, the northwest has been turbulent, the heads of the big and small armies are secretly treacherous, the sage is shining brightly, seeing thousands of miles, pulling out Mr. Long between the fields and acres, in the future, Mr. Long will come out, the group will tie his hands, and the northwest will return to the rule of the imperial court, which is really a great joy!"
The old emperor stroked his beard and chuckled: "Don't mess around, it is Mr. Houlong's credit to pacify the northwest, what does it have to do with me? I don't even know anything about the rebellion of the northwest army, and I really lose the dead when I see the clouds and clouds say it." However, isn't Mr. Houlong in Houlong Village? When did you go to the northwest? I remember that he just got married not long ago?"
Lu Yue said: "Saint, Mr. Houlong only knows a thing or two about going to the northwest, and I heard that Mr. Houlong is going to plant cotton in the northwest. ”
The old emperor was stunned: "Cotton? In order to plant a small amount of cotton, Mr. Houlong deliberately rushed to the northwest after his marriage, and thus pacified the chaos in the northwest, which was really a fluke. The widow must reward Mr. Houlong and reward the scientific gate! "For more than 2,000 years, the northwest has only nominally returned to the imperial court, until this time, it is truly owned by the Great Li Dynasty, and its merit is not under the expansion of the territory, and the old emperor's sacrifice to the Taimiao is the proper meaning of the title.
When the old emperor Long Xin was about to recruit the bachelors of the Military Aircraft Department to discuss how to reward the Science Gate and how to send officials to receive the affairs of the Northwest, several university scholars from the Military Aircraft Department suddenly came in a hurry, and the leading bachelors were sweaty in the winter, and just stepped into the south study, ignoring the etiquette, and shouted loudly: "Saint!
The old emperor was stunned, raised the urgent report in his hand and shook it: "What? You have also learned about the recovery of the northwest by the Science Gate? This is indeed a great joyous event, no wonder you have lost the bearing of the prime minister." The Great Li Dynasty did not have the post of prime minister, but the people called the scholars prime ministers.
The scholars were stunned: "What Northwest ?!-- Shengshang, Hu Qi has invaded!"
The old emperor's hand dropped on the table with a loud bang: "What?!Hu cavalry invaded?! Nonsense! This day is freezing, and the grassland is full of snow, how can Hu cavalry invade!" Although the old emperor directly reprimanded the scholars of the military aircraft department for talking nonsense, he had already believed it in his heart, and his voice had changed a little.
The scholars handed over a blood-stained emergency report, and said with a white face: "Border pass urgent report, the Hu people invited their evil god Changshengtian to perform evil magic, and actually went against the sky, giving birth to a hundred grasses in this winter, feeding war horses, and the army and civilians had enough food, and broke through the Great Wall in one go.
The old emperor didn't wait for the little eunuch next to him to deliver the urgent report, reached out and grabbed the urgent report, glanced at it a few times, screamed, fell to the ground, covered his chest, and made a loud sound--
The scholars, eunuchs, and guards with knives in the study were in a mess, and they were in a hurry to call the imperial doctor, and Lu Yue roared: "Don't mess up! The saint has angina! Quickly, he has Mr. Houlong's magic medicine glycerin, take it immediately!"
Lu Yueding took matters into his own hands, tore open a small close-fitting pouch in the old emperor's underwear, took out a small jade bottle, poured out a small pill, and together with a guard, forcibly pried open the old emperor's closed teeth with a pen and stuffed the pill into the bottom of his tongue - this set of processes was taught by Lu Yueding by Xue Zhi himself, and he was extremely skilled.
After a long time, the old emperor who was moved to the couch groaned softly, opened his eyes, and the imperial doctor next to him immediately took the old emperor's pulse: "The holy angina has been relieved!
Lu Yueding leaned into the old emperor's ear and whispered: "Holy Lord, Mr. Houlong once said to the slave that although this glycerin is wonderful, patients with angina should still take care of it well, and they must not overwork, otherwise they will get sick again, and it will be bad." ”
The old emperor nodded slightly, this time he took a turn from the palace of the king of Hades, he also had palpitations, he said softly: "Spread the decree, reward Mr. Houlong, and the northwest will be under the door of the Science Gate." "--Without Mr. Houlong's glycerin, the old emperor would have died directly, so he was rewarded by the northwest. What's more, now that Hu Qi has entered the customs, the imperial court has no spare energy to deal with the affairs of the northwest, so it simply does personal favors and directly hands it over to the Science Gate to take care of.
In fact, the old emperor also knew in his heart that the northwest was under the control of the Science Gate, and the imperial court only had the name of righteousness, just like other cultivation sects occupied various famous mountains and rivers. (To be continued.) )
