Neighbors with powerful ministers

Mr. Fang's Art of War lecture started that evening.

The only student, Shizi Xie, did not go on strike because "the 'simple' wish of going to school by boat cannot be fulfilled for the time being". idea.He also made an agreement with his husband that he hoped that he would be able to take a one-hour class every night in the future. During the rest, ten-day rest and holidays, the class hours can be adjusted and increased according to the situation.

"Is Xiumu and Xunxiu the same thing?" Xie Jie asked by the way.He knew politics as well as he knew literature, nothing at all.

"Xu Mu is a rotation every five days, and Xun Xun is an extra day off every ten days." Fang Chaoci spared no effort to promote the benefits of being an official to Xie Jie, "Actually, being an official is not as hard as you think 30 days a month, not counting holidays, there must be nine days of holidays; counting holidays, there can be more than 100 days of holidays in a year, which is equivalent to resting for half of the year."

"I'm resting every day now." Xie Jie replied Fang Chaoci with one sentence.

Fang Chaoci: "..."

"Then you rested for two consecutive days this time, is it a vacation for a rest period?" Xie Jie is very good at inferring other cases from one instance.

"Yes." Fang Chaoci will be working as a working dog again tomorrow.

"But you spent most of the time today at Taifu Temple. This is too miserable." Xie Jie suddenly felt infinite sympathy for Fang Chaoci, and he looked at his own with a pair of eyes that were free of any impurities. The new buddy said to him very sincerely, "Do you want me to report to the temple department for you?"

The Temple Department is under the Ministry of Rites, and it is in charge of holidays.A close friend of Xie Jie's father is now a doctor of the official worship temple department, in charge of the temple department, one of the four institutions of the Ministry of Rites, a position that cannot be more noble.

"No need." Fang Chaoci shook his head helplessly, and finally couldn't help but pinched Shi Zi's cheek.

After being pinched a few times before, Shizi's reactions were full of diversity, protesting, angry, complaining... Now he has added another kind, pinch!back!go!

He wants to let heaven know that he will not admit defeat!

Seeing that Xie Jie couldn't be seduced, Fang Chaoci gave up on continuing to use this trick, but followed Xie Jie's wish and started the class tonight.The ox cart stopped directly at the gate of the house, and the two returned home together, stunned by Zhan Langjun who was "eating rice".

"You guys went out together and came back together, didn't you really leave me and go out to play?" Mr. Zhan Lang felt that his suspicion was reasonable and full of careful logic.

The second master probably thought so too, flying in mid-air, sniffing around Xie Jie back and forth, trying to see if he was carrying it on his back for another bird.

On the contrary, Fei Lian is the calmest of the three species. He is lying on a high place with his small hands in his mouth. Looking at the overall situation, he is obviously very confident in his own charm. Fang Chaoci and Xie Jie will not be seduced by the coquettish sluts outside. .

Xie Jie originally wanted to quarrel with the second master for a while, but was woken up by Fang Chaoci's words "playing things and losing one's ambition".

The most important thing right now is to study!

I love learning!

Learning makes me happy!

Then, Xie Jie happily followed Fang Chaoci to his study.

Only Zhan Langjun is lonely (open) and lonely (heart) alone, hugging the bird on the left and the cat on the right, eating the exquisite refreshments sent by Mr. Xie’s house next door, and admiring the poetic water gardens everywhere, he is just as happy as a fairy Ah, like a fairy.Why didn't he think of coming to Fang Chaoci's house to live a life of "living under the fence", what a mistake!

Fang Chaoci didn't prepare much content and copywriting for Xie Jie, because for Xie Jie's current level of cultural knowledge, any individual can use it on the spot, and he can also tell a lot of content that Xie Jie doesn't know.

Mr. Fang is very good at teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and the first thing he does in class is to ask students: "What effect do you want to learn?"

"Not only will the barbarians be beaten back to their hometowns, but their hometowns will also be occupied!" Xie Jie said loudly.

Fang Chaoci did not say whether this idea is feasible, but only asked a thought-provoking question: "If I have a way to completely defeat the barbarians right now, then is it necessary for us to teach this class?"

Xie Jie: "..." There seems to be some truth in what he said.

Fang Chaoci had already selected Xie Jie yesterday. No one is omnipotent. Faced with today's result, Xie Jie was not disappointed or shocked. Instead, he had a new idea: "Then you can teach me the process Zhongwen knows the new, maybe the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and we can collide with each other to defeat the barbarians?"

Fang Chaoci affirmed this idea: "This is the first thing I want to teach you. No one is omnipotent, and no routine can be invincible, but we can combine what we have learned. A whole new strategy."

Xie Jie sat at the table and nodded, half understanding.

"But today, let's not talk about the art of war, nor about formation, let's do a thorough test."

"Find out? Test?" These are words that Xie Jiesuo has never been exposed to.

Tianshi immediately gave an explanation of the term in Xie Jie's mind: [Through the form of the exam, we can understand the mastery of the knowledge the students have learned, find out the deficiencies in time, and check for gaps. 】

Xie Jie has never studied outside, so he doesn't know what the situation in the college is like. Of course, he didn't study well in the university.So Fang Chaoci taught him whatever he wanted, and he didn't dare to raise any objections.It's just that it's unavoidable to have sympathy for the word exam, and there is no scumbag who is not afraid of exams.

"Don't be afraid." Fang Chaoci is really like a monster. Even if Xie Jie pretended to be [-] to [-] on the surface, he still saw through Xie Jie's bluff at a glance, and comforted him, "Just tell me the truth. That's fine, we don't score."

Xie Jie let out a long breath of relief.

"How much do you know about the military system? What do you know about border troubles? And do you know the strengths and weaknesses of our army?"

Xie Jie asked three questions, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.What is this and what?Xie Yanei's desire to learn is true, and his ignorance of this country is also true.

In the past 15 years of his life, there have been too many blank spaces.

Fang Chaoci was already mentally prepared, and even felt that Xie Jie like this was a little cute: "The more you don't understand, the more you dare to think, and you can't let reality constrain your imagination, and you can't tell what can really happen in our blind spot before. Fantastic."

Fang Chaoci's remark, on the one hand, was blind, and on the other hand, he really felt that this might be a feasible way.

Xie Jie’s biggest characteristic is thinking (brain) thinking (bag) spirit (having) living (pit), and Daqi has been confined in the framework for too many years, like a big ship full of holes, even if Fang Chao Ci is also a little tricky here.If you give him a few decades to take his time, it is not impossible for him to fix it and send it on the right track.But the problem was that Xie Jie didn't want to wait that long, and Fang Chaoci couldn't bear Xie Jie to wait that long.

"Let's talk about side troubles first."

The military system and the army are more complicated, and relatively less interesting. If Xie Jie is made to resist these at the beginning, it will be even more difficult to teach later.

"Beside us, there is not only one country or one nation, you know that?"

Xie Jie nodded, he is no longer the boy he was when he was a child, he would not foolishly think that there are only two countries in this world, Daqi and other countries.Another country is not a country name, but a collective name for countries other than Daqi.

In the border troubles of all dynasties, it is impossible for only one minority to do things, but in most dynasties, only one or two of these minorities are relatively strong, which not only harass other weak and small ethnic groups, but also embarrass the dynasties on this land of China.

But Daqi is different from them. The ethnic minorities around Daqi are very strong.

Xie Jie: "..."

Not to mention the islands and small countries facing each other across the sea, Daqi’s navy is currently considered to dominate the world’s leading level, and it’s like playing with anyone. This has directly led to overseas countries being very "friendly" to Daqi. Had to be friendly.

Neighbors on land are decidedly less friendly.

"In general, we have a total of six to seven confidantes. It's not that we have enmity with them, but they are eyeing Daqi."

The barbarian is just one of them, not the strongest of them yet.

Fang Chaoci roughly drew a simple map on the paper, and first introduced Xie Jie clockwise to the "neighbors" who bordered on Daqi and had plans for Daqi: there is Xiaoli in the southwest, and there is Xiaoli in the west. Among the tribes of Tunbo, there are Beixia and Nuren in the northwest, and barbarians and Qiguo in the north.

On the farther northern prairie, there are still the original people recharging their energy.

The reason why there are six to seven is because the Yuan clan does not border Daqi, and there are barbarians and the Qi Kingdom standing in the middle.For the time being, none of the courtiers regarded the Yuan Clan as a threat. At most, they regarded them as a barbarian or a partner of the Qi Kingdom.But Fang Chaoci was sure that this would be the last strong enemy that Daqi needed to defeat after seeing him.But this can be put aside for now.

"Actually, do you know how tenacious Daqi is? In just a few decades, we have had several times as many wars and frictions with these unfriendly neighbors as the previous dynasty, and the number of times we have won is also several times that of the previous dynasty."

But on the whole, Da Qi is still retreating. It's not that Da Qi doesn't work hard, but that the enemy is too hard, and there are too many.

If you don't pay attention, you will be attacked by the enemy.

There is no need for cooperation between these different ethnic groups, because for them, Daqi is a natural target, the child holding Jinshan.Other ethnic minorities will only covet the great fortune of sitting and enjoying the fish and rice, rather than other poor neighbors who are like them, who are enjoying the autumn wind every year.Of course, if they can take advantage of the fire to annex other ethnic groups, they will not be polite.But what is certain is that no matter who Da Qi is fighting against, there will always be someone else who wants to launch a sneak attack.

Daqi fights with A, B makes a surprise attack, and Bing and Ding recuperate.After a while, it became Da Qi and C fighting again, D sneaking attack, and A and B resting and recuperating.

All in all, Daqi has always been in a state of being fought by wheels, unable to rest, laboring people and wasting money.If it weren't for Daqi's prosperous business and the country's wealth, it would not be able to support the successive years of war.

In the most recent war, Daqi lost Yongji, and the reason why he lost it was because Daqi's attention was focused on confrontation with other countries, and he fought Daqi without noticing it. The barbarians actually had the strength to come here by way of a long-distance attack, which gave the world a "surprise".

Hearing this, Xie Jie finally raised his hand to interrupt Fang Chaoci: "Then why don't we take this opportunity to provoke Qi Guo and Bei Xia, and set the barbarians' backyard on fire?"

There are barbarians between Qiguo and Beixia, and the three of them are also neighbors to each other.

Everyone's central contradiction is that everyone wants the land of China, and it is the north of Daqi that the ethnic minorities in the west and north are peeping at.Now that Daqi has lost the north, why not treat the north as a bone hanging in front of neighboring countries, let them fight first, so as to relieve Daqi's siege to the south?

Fang Chaoci was already looking at Xie Jie with incredible eyes when he heard half of it.

Xie Jie looked back at his husband anxiously: "I, did I say something wrong?"

Not wrong, but quite right.In fact, this was a strategy proposed by Princess Dachang as early as when she left Yongji. At that time, the barbarians had not yet invaded Yongji, but Princess Dachang had already prepared for a rainy day miraculously.When Fang Chaoci came to Jiangzuo late, he spent most of his time doing these things that the eldest princess ordered. Taking the pregnant Empress Dowager Nie back to Jiangzuo was just a cover, and many of the intelligence work that Fang Chaoci took over should not be made public for the time being.

In other words, although Daqi couldn't completely kill the barbarians for the time being, there was still a way to solve the immediate urgent need, and it was not as precarious as everyone thought it was now.There have already been spies spreading remarks about "barbarians' ambition" and "cold lips and teeth" in Qiguo and Beixia, which have sparked a lot of discussion in the two countries. Next, we only need to wait for the rumors to ferment, and the time will come naturally. As for Next step...

"What do you think our next step is?" Fang Chaoci asked Xie Jie eagerly. From this point of view, Xie Jie's brain is actually very smart, but it has not been used well in the past.He has found a treasure!

But Baoshi told him with an expression of "Why are you making trouble so unreasonably?" "How do I know this? I only care about when my mother will come back."

Fang Chaoci: "..."

The author has something to say: * In the Song Dynasty, teachers were called in various ways: master, sir, master, and master should basically be all possible.The name Mr. was chosen in the article, of course because...it is a polysemous word, um, the above.Xie Jie:? ? ?

Temple Department*: It is roughly equal to the national holiday office of the modern State Council. Xie Jie’s father’s good friend is the director of this office, which is in charge of holidays.This department has existed since ancient times, even older than the Song Dynasty.It can be seen that whether it is modern or ancient, everyone is the same, and they are concerned about the two major life events of what to eat and when to go on vacation.

The "neighbors" around Daqi basically simulated the border troubles that the Song Dynasty had to face.However, the history of border troubles in the article is not very likely to be based on the real history, because the stupid QAQ author does not know how to break the situation, it is too miserable.There will be cheating in the article, so I lowered the difficulty a little bit for Daqi, from the hell mode to the normal difficulty mode, please forgive me.
