Great Wei Nengchen

Zhang Yang has been in the officialdom for a long time, and has experienced countless political turmoil. Now he can serve as the prefect of the upper party and concurrently serve as the military commander of the four counties; How can characters be underestimated.

All the time-travelers in the past often think that relying on the historical knowledge beyond this era is equivalent to opening a cheating tool, and they can be invincible. They often look down on the ancients, and regard those ancient soy sauce parties and those losers as negative IQs. In fact, those who really dare to do this will become others' jokes sooner or later.

We look at the history 2000 years ago from the perspective of a bystander, because we already know the answer, so everyone is like Zhuge Shensuan, but if we put all this aside and put us on the same starting line as the ancients, May I ask?If ordinary people like us lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, would we be able to set off a monstrous storm of hundreds of thousands of people like Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Uprising?Or can he become a powerful party who ruled the four states like Yuan Shao?

I'm afraid not only can't we do what these two losers did, but we can't even make a small role like pioneer Liao Hua, right?

"Don't look down on the ancients! Don't look down on the soy sauce party! Don't look down on the losers!" Xiao Yi secretly set three precepts for himself, and it was these three precepts that pulled Xiao Yi back from the death line countless times in the future. Turn defeat into victory!

Finally, Zhang Yang named this cavalry unit 'Xuanjia Cavalry', Xuanzhe, black too!The translation is: the black iron cavalry, it seems that Zhang Yang intends to compete with Gongsun Zan's powerful 'White Horse Yicong' in Liaodong.

"Six soldiers, hurry up to practice martial arts. Next year, when the grass is yellow and the horses are fat, I will go out of the Great Wall with my handsome soldiers, and the horse will step on the Huns!" Zhang Yang drew out his sword and gave the final order with a murderous look.

"promise!……"

64. Chapter 64 Cold winter training

In a blink of an eye, autumn passed and winter came, and with the roar of the north wind overnight, the snowflakes as white as goose feathers brought a piece of snow to this ancient land, and the weather began to become extremely cold!

In the early morning, when the wind and snow had not stopped, outside the south gate of Yanmen Pass, under the banner of the Chinese Army of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry Barracks, Xiao Yi was wearing a Chiyou ghost-mask helmet, a cold iron armor with the head of a dragon on his head, and a blood wave sword in his hand. A cloak of black on the outside and red on the inside, stood with his head held high in the wind and snow, motionless, allowing his body to accept the cruel test of the mighty power of the world.

On the school grounds, the soldiers of the Three Thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry Battalion also wore armor and held weapons, standing neatly and solemnly in the wind and snow that filled the sky. The cold wind was mixed with icy snowflakes, like small knives Like scraping across everyone's exposed faces and backs of hands, it brought a biting chill.

The goose feather-like snow soon accumulated a thick layer on everyone. Looking around, it seemed that there were three thousand snowmen standing on the school field; Each one has no fear, no matter how the wind and snow blows, they still remain motionless!

This is the military discipline that Xiao Yi has practiced day and night by setting an example for several months - "Fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, aggressive as the fire, immovable as the mountain, difficult to know as the cloud, moving as the thunder!"

Sun Tzu's mantra of "Six Rus of War" can be said to have exhausted the mysteries of military strategists. In later generations, Japanese Warlord Shingen Takeda of the Warring States Period relied on the four he stole from them and established the "Chibei" cavalry with a little knowledge. This small island earned the title of 'Tiger of Kai', and now in the hometown of Sun Tzu's Art of War, Xiao Yi, who has mastered the mysteries of it, will surely be able to train a more powerful iron cavalry with this!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." With the sound of the drum to tell the time in the camp, Xiao Yi's one-hour practice of military posture every day is over; standing in the military posture not only exercises the endurance of the soldiers, but also cultivates the soldiers Perseverance!The training of any iron army is based on military discipline, and the cultivation of military discipline begins with standing in the military posture; this is the precious thing Xiao Yi learned when he was passed out by the scorching sun several times when he was receiving summer military training in college. experience……

Originally the chief general of the Xuanjia Cavalry Army was Mu Shun, but Mu Shun spent most of his time listening to the prefect Zhang Yang, and besides, he had a luxurious residence in Yanmenguan City, where there were many beautiful wives and concubines. There are maids and servants who take good care of them, so Mu Shun seldom comes to the camp to be a director, let alone live in this cold military tent, so the important task of training and handling all the big and small affairs of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry falls on the head of the camp. On the head of Xiao Yi of 'Dian Jun Sima'.

In fact, in order to win over Xiao Yi, the eunuch Zhang Yang also wanted to give him a house in the city, but Xiao Yi refused with a famous saying of the champion Hou Huo Qubing: "The Huns are not destroyed, why should we call ourselves home!" In the big tent, he ate rough food every day, slept in the cold military tent, shared joys and sorrows with three thousand subordinates, and practiced day and night.Xiao Yi knew deeply in his heart: "Only a general who can share weal and woe with his subordinates can make these soldiers willingly entrust their lives on the battlefield, go through fire and water, and go forward indomitably!"

After standing in the military posture, he moved his frozen body a little, and Xiao Yi gave orders loudly: "All soldiers obey the order! Sixteen-style military boxing, start!"

"Hey!...Hey!...Hey! Hey!..." Accompanied by deafening shouts, thousands of soldiers began to practice crazily in the ice and snow; Hit, inner dial and lower hook... In an instant, the fist wind roared on the school field, and the murderous aura was soaring to the sky. Countless vigorous figures moved in unison in the cold wind, jumping like tigers, rabbits, apes, and wolves... …; The snowflakes in the air fluttered in the wind of the soldiers’ fists, and the shouts of soldiers training spread several miles away…

Military boxing!Another gain from Xiao Yi University's military training; this boxing method is direct, refined, fast, and effective; the body training effect is excellent, and its lethality on the battlefield is also extraordinary. It is definitely a boxing method tailored for the army. It was also taken out by him to teach his subordinates.You know, what is emphasized on the battlefield is a direct and effective one-hit kill, so the simpler the boxing method is, the more practical it is. throw away.

In ancient times, the art of body training has always been a secret of military strategists, and it cannot be passed on to children who are not direct relatives. Wu Qi, a famous general in the Warring States period, relied on a set of body training skills to train the unparalleled "Wei Wuzu". The vassal states took turns to fight, and won 76 battles, 64 victories, and the rest were tied, with no defeat. The impressive record is respected by the world as Wu Zi and the God of Soldiers.

Now that Xiao Yi is willing to teach everyone such a precious military secret technique, all the soldiers in the camp study hard, no matter how hard or tired they are, they have no complaints, what's more, some people even cut their cheeks and swear blood in front of Xiao Yi ,'This technique will never be passed on to the outside world! Xiao Yi, who watched it dumbfounded, also secretly made up his mind to make "The Eighth Radio Gymnastics" a secret that will not be handed down, and leave it to his descendants...

After practicing military boxing every day, Xiao Yi would take his subordinates to a small river outside the barracks to take a bath. This small river is formed by springs from the mountains. The water quality is clear and sweet, rich in various minerals , is also the place where the soldiers usually fetch water. Because of the cold weather, the river is covered with a thick layer of ice at this time. Standing naked on the bank of the river, the big bucket of ice water was poured directly on the body like this. Although everyone grinned from the cold, no one stopped. For several months, under Xiao Yi's supervision, everyone has Gradually got used to this cruel training method, not to mention that Xiao Yi also took an ice bath on the shore like everyone else...

With a sound of "Wow!", Xiao Yi poured a bucket of icy river water on his head, and the water flowed directly to the ground along his vigorous body, and even Xiao Yi's strong body couldn't help being frozen His face was ashen, and he stretched his muscles and bones vigorously. Although it was cold to the bone, he still clenched his teeth and continued to pour ice water on his body. After that, he rubbed his hands violently on his body, and soon the blood circulation in the protruding blue blood vessels in his body was accelerated. When I got up, the chill gradually disappeared, and instead, bursts of white heat began to rise from my body... "Manly man, don't be afraid of death, so why cry coldly!"

The reason why he insisted on leading his men down to the river to bathe every day was not only to use the cold water to exercise the soldiers' physique and perseverance, but more importantly to maintain personal hygiene; Xiao Yi clearly remembered that when he was in school, the dormitory for eight boys was not Living in a pigsty is the same as living in a pigsty. What's more, there are thousands of big men living together in the military camp. There is really no dirtiest, only dirtier. It is estimated that even Xiaoqiang, a cockroach, cannot survive here...

Dirty and messy are often prone to various diseases. Once the disease spreads in the military camp, it will be a devastating disaster. You don’t need to go out to fight, and you will be reimbursed directly. In history, the entire army was wiped out due to the infection of diseases in the army. There are many examples.So besides sending people to clean the barracks every day, Xiao Yi asked them to take a bath every day, but it was impossible for Xiao Yi to prepare a big bathtub for everyone, so he simply took his subordinates to the river for a walk Such a free winter bath too.

The habits of an army are slowly developed, and the personality is instilled and cultivated by the first military officer. Although the years passed and the personnel changed in the future, the habit of taking a bath every day as much as possible has lasted for a long time in Xiao Yi's army constant……

In later generations, historians agreed after textual research that in the era of the Three Kingdoms, when famous generals emerged in large numbers, the soldiers under the command of the "Great Wei Shenwei Tiance General-Wushouhou-Xiao Yi" may not be the most powerful in combat, nor are they equipped with the most powerful equipment. The best, not to mention the strictest military discipline, but definitely the most hygienic troops in that era, and none of them!

After bathing, there is a special benefit for the lieutenant soldiers, half a catty of 'sorrowless spirits' per person!

It turned out that one month ago, due to the increasingly cold weather, Xiao Yi wrote a letter and sent it to Liang's family in Ji County, Youzhou, hoping that Liang Xiaoyu would bring him some worry-free wine. Cao Yang, a fat steward with a height and waist circumference of five feet, appeared in front of Xiao Yi, and brought a group of wine-making masters and equipment for refining spirits, and opened a wine-making workshop directly next to Xiao Yi's camp .

When acquaintances meet, they are very affectionate, and they are all partners who escaped death together. Xiao Yi still admires this fat and fat Guanshi Cao. This person is the best choice in terms of ability and loyalty. With a swipe of his pen, Xiao Yi directly recruited Fatty Cao into the army, and entrusted him with the important task of a food officer.

From a businessman with low social status to a military officer, Fatty Cao's gratitude to Xiao Yi is indescribable. He knelt on the ground until his forehead bleeds, and he put all his heart and effort into the logistics affairs. After a while, a large number of worry-free spirits appeared in the barracks, and they were immediately welcomed by all the soldiers. Soldiers, there is no one who does not love spirits. To be precise, spirits are prepared for soldiers on the battlefield.Especially when fighting on the cold grasslands in the north, spirits can be regarded as a life-saving military material, which can produce unexpected effects at critical moments; and everyone's love for Xiao Yi also increases with the degree of spirits. Raise rapidly...

The mellow aroma of the fine wine quickly wafted across the four counties around Yanmen Pass, and countless common people and gentry flocked to this spirit; in the end, it even alarmed the eunuch Zhang Yang. All the armies under him ordered a large amount of worry-free spirits, and the Liang family took the opportunity to make a lot of money, a huge fortune!

In this world, businessmen's eyes are often the most accurate, whether they are looking at people or things, just like the current Liang family, they can see Xiao Yi who has not really risen at a glance, and it will be very expensive in the future!

65. Chapter 65 The Emperor's Helplessness

A rare heavy snow also covered Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Empire; for those poor people at the bottom of society, this heavy snow was tantamount to putting them in hell; A large number of poor people froze to death in the wilderness, just like crystal clear human ice sculptures, at the cost of countless lives, adding boundless and strange beauty to this ice and snow world...

The next door to hell is the paradise of the strong. The same heavy snowfall is a rare good weather for those who are in positions of power. They may wear ermine fur coats to enjoy the snow scenery from afar, or invite three or five confidantes to sit around the fire In the eyes of the rich and powerful, this is a poetic and picturesque winter; the sorrow and wailing of countless people cannot be heard in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, but the sound of extravagant pleasure in the palace can spread throughout the whole world...

Luoyang Imperial Palace, West Garden, is completely isolated from the miserable world outside by a high palace wall. Outside is a hell like ice and snow, but inside the palace is a warm paradise like spring; warm pavilions on both sides of the palace are decorated with There are a lot of copper braziers, and the top-grade silver frost charcoal that is more expensive than gold is burning inside. As the charcoal fire rises, the air is filled with bursts of pine fragrance, and the heating is filled with white mist, like a fairyland on earth. ...

At this time, the supreme ruler of the Eastern Han Empire, Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was lying on a luxurious and luxurious dragon couch, enjoying the artificial spring. The dragon couch was wide and heavy, covered with thick velvet, warm and comfortable. It can sit or lie down, and more importantly, this dragon couch represents the pinnacle of power in the world; it can be said bluntly that although the Han Empire is large, this soft couch a few feet wide is the core!

A luxurious black and gold five-clawed dragon robe hung on Lingdi's body half-draped and half-covered. The dragon robes of the Han Dynasty mainly followed the characteristics of the dragon robes of the Qin Dynasty, "living in water and wearing black."In the following dynasties, according to the five virtues, they determined their destiny according to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Therefore, the color of the dragon robes also varied. It was not until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period that yellow began to be used as a The most honorable color is reserved exclusively for the emperor, and will continue to other dynasties in later generations.

Dozens of beauties in the palace waited on them attentively. Any of these young women selected from all over the country could be called a city and a country, but at this time, he could pick them at will, just like picking a cherry in a vegetable garden. It's easy, there are hundreds of eunuchs from the small yellow family standing in the palace, waiting for the emperor's orders at any time; outside the palace, under the imperial steps, countless golden armored warriors guarded loyally with spears. As long as the emperor issued any order, the entire empire would immediately There will be countless people who will serve as servants of the past, giving up their lives and forgetting to die; this is the supreme imperial power, and one person is served by the world.

It's a pity that many emperors in China liked to enjoy this kind of right to "serve the world to one person", but on the contrary, there were very few who could "rule the world to one person", and more were tyrants, stupid kings, mediocre kings,...,

The 32-year-old Han Lingdi is in the golden age of youth and vitality. Unfortunately, under the corrosion of countless beauties, wine, and food in the palace, his body is now extremely weak, and his dry and yellowish hair is like a residual leaf in the wind. , It fell off very badly, the eyes were dim and dull in the black eye circles, the thin cheeks seemed to be attached to the bones, it looked terrifying like a skeleton, and the weak body that could be blown down by a weak gust of wind The body, all of these, tell the world that this is a body completely hollowed out by wine and sex.

Tightening the black gold dragon robe on his body, Liu Hong didn't want others to see his frail body under the dragon robe, and he liked the dragon robe on himself very much, because this dragon robe had a kind of magical power, as long as he Anything you can think of seems to come true.For example, a few days ago, when he looked at the frozen lake and the withered flowers and plants in the imperial garden, he had a whim; "If you can take a boat tour in the lake in the cold winter and enjoy the boundless spring scenery, accompanied by red flowers and green leaves, how wonderful it would be." The carefree...

As a result, a few days later, he got his wish and saw the boundless spring in the heavy snow. The maids cut a lot of silk, "red silk for flowers, green satin for leaves, tied with silk threads...", and the flowers and trees around the royal garden were overnight. All of them are in full bloom; the thick ice layer on the lake has been broken off with sharp tools, and there are colorful 'lotus leaves' floating on it, and a beautiful spring scene appears in front of you like a dream. Ren Er is snowing all over the world, and I have a garden full of peach blossoms!..."

It can be said that Lingdi Liu Hong is lucky in everyone's eyes. He was originally the great-great-grandson of Hanzhang Emperor Liu Da, and his great-grandfather was Liu Kai, the filial king of Hejian. The title of Marquis of Jiedu Ting was a small one, and there were only 1000 poor subjects under him, and a small piece of barren land; plus his father died young, so Liu Hong inherited the title when he was very young; as a result He thought that he would be a local tyrant in the countryside all his life, but he was favored by heaven.

In the first year of Yongkang, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty passed away and had no son to succeed him. After discussions among the officials, Liu Hong was unexpectedly chosen to succeed him.So Empress Dowager Dou sent servant Yushi Liu Shu, Fengche Duwei Cao Jie and others from the countryside to welcome Liu Hong to Luoyang to ascend the throne.A young nobleman from the countryside, who was originally in decline, suddenly became the master of this great empire. What he owned was no longer the barren land, but the boundless mountains and rivers. He felt like he was dreaming, no, even the sweetest dream was probably not so wonderful, but the dream in front of him was so real that he had been indulging in this feeling of intoxication for 10 years... …

In these 22 years, Liu Hong seems to be doing one thing every day, that is to play!

In fact, everyone likes to play, especially men, even if they are busy with work, they will sneak in to play for a while, so some people say (that is what women say:) "A man is a child who will never grow up!"

However, people like Han Lingdi who take playing as their main business and life goal, and who can play for decades are too rare; when they were young, they played with pets and games, and when they grew up, they played with beauties and officials; As long as it is something that an emperor can own and play with in this world, he seems to be playing with it; so much so that everyone from the public to the common people thinks that he is a fool, a mediocre king, and a fool with a negative IQ!

hehe!It is a pity that the eyes are often the most deceptive. In fact, Liu Hong is not stupid. On the contrary, his mind is very smart. He has seen everything clearly since the day he entered the palace. The current Han Dynasty is no longer the Han Dynasty. Well, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a hero of the generation, with the constitution of heaven in his mouth, and the law he said. He held the sword of the emperor in his life, and killed decisively. No one dared to rebel. That is the real 'son of heaven! '

But what is in front of Liu Hong now?The imperial power has long been emptied little by little by relatives, eunuchs, and gentry, and what is left to him is suppression, constraints, helplessness, and the emperor's last resort...

The reason why he chooses to play every day is because the Regent Dowager Dou wants him to play, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty want him to play, and the powerful eunuchs around him want him to play even more, so he has to play, because as long as he thinks hard It is clear what happened to the emperors before him who could not play or were unwilling to play:

Zhangdi Liu Da, ascended the throne at the age of 18, reigned for 13 years, and died at the age of 31.

He Emperor Liu Zhao, ascended the throne at the age of 10, died at the age of 17 after 27 years.

Emperor Liu Long died just after one full moon when he ascended the throne, and died in the eighth month of his reign.

Emperor An Liu Hu, ascended the throne at the age of 13, lived for 19 years, and died at the age of 32.

Shun Emperor Liu Bao, ascended the throne at the age of 11 and reigned for 19 years. Died at the age of 30.

Chongdi Liu Bing, ascended the throne at the age of 2, lived for less than half a year, and died at the age of 3.
