Chapter 1359 Providence
"Let''s go!" Li Ru waved and said, after receiving the urgent news from Ji County, Li Ru let the Montessori Army, which had been closed for a long time in the school grounds, show up.
Meng Shu took the order, without any impassioned words, silently cupped his hands, then turned around and set off with five hundred meters of men. These 500-meter subordinates are different from the general soldiers who conquered the west. They are all the children of Mengshi who are used to climbing mountains and mountains. After nearly a year of closed training, they are finally about to show their sharp minions.
Heavy snow fell one after another, and soon a thick layer of winter clothes was laid on the ground.
Although the snow is not yet thick enough to prevent people from going out, according to the usual practice, since the Longyou has already started to fall, there may be snow in this area until the spring of next year, and the snow flakes will be here for as long as possible. It rains intermittently from two to three months. If the poor are poor, it is almost difficult to go out in such weather. In some places, people don’t even have winter clothes. When the snow blocks the mountains, they can only wrap themselves in quilts. Nesting on the kang all day long, winter is not an easy life for most people in this era.
Especially marching.
The snow is soft, no matter whether it is a person or a horse, once you step on it, it will inevitably be a pit. The deeper the snow, the more difficult it is to travel. Normally, you can walk forty miles a day. Ten miles are difficult to complete.
But with the power of technology, everything has changed.
Marching and fighting in winter is mainly due to two constraints, one is the problem of supply, and the other is the problem of keeping warm. On the issue of resupply, it mainly relies on water surface transportation, that is, along the river, because in many areas, not all rivers are frozen, so it is more convenient to carry grain and grass by water surface ships. In terms of keeping warm, the Han Dynasty actually had no better choice, because the main fabric was silk and hemp, and leather robes were not easy for farming people to obtain, so they were not suitable for large quantities of equipment. , and if it was really severe cold, a simple leather robe would not be able to resist it.
The high-energy compressed food, sweaters and down jackets created by General Zhengxi Feiqian have become the best winter combat equipment for people like Mengshu, although they may not be able to withstand the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero. But at least it is no problem to keep outdoor sports for a long time near zero.
The most important thing is the use of sleds, which greatly increased the marching speed of Meng Shu and others.
Perhaps this time Meng Shu and others took the first step, which represented the new life of the men of the Han family in terms of their ability to march in winter!
In history, it is precisely because of the use of sleds that the white-haired people in the north prefer to fight in winter, because sleds can not only expand the scope of action, but also move faster than ordinary marches.
"Chang Shi..." Xu Huang looked at the backs of Meng Shu and others, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This cold winter... Captain Meng... is it okay?"
Li Ru smiled, and said lightly: "It''s okay. It''s three hundred miles from Jixian County, four hundred miles from Jixian County to Zhongtao, and four hundred miles from Zhongtao to Didao. As expected, Captain Meng should be able to catch up with most of the Qiang people near Didao... As for how to win, it all depends on God''s will..."
………………
God''s will is always elusive, but the human heart is even more elusive than God''s will.
Liu Xie sat calmly on the throne, looking at the officials under Majesty Dan.
The two rows of civil and military ministers knelt on both sides of the hall, each with a serious face, without much expression, and even a little indifferent in their eyes. It seems that it is not an honor and an exciting thing to come to the hall to discuss matters. It''s just like an errand that has to be done.
"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!" The **** with a sharp voice shouted loudly.
"I have something to report to Your Majesty!" Xun Yu got up, walked to the middle, and said with cupped hands.
The Han Dynasty did not emphasize kneeling and worshiping. In many cases, even if the ministers saw the emperor, they just bowed their hands and bowed their hands. Spectrum.
Before the Han Dynasty, it was a long-term warm climate. It is indeed much better to sit on a wooden mat than on an airtight wooden stool. In addition, people in the Han Dynasty did not have the equipment of underpants. If you are not careful, the posture is wrong, and some small animals will inevitably come out to breathe...
"Xun Aiqing, please tell me." Liu Xie said.
Xun Yu cupped his hands and said: "In the past, Dong Zhuo caused chaos, disasters in Heluo, chaos in Liuhe, ghosts and gods perish. He moved to the royal family, the hills were filled with bones, the rivers and valleys overflowed with blood, and the world was sad. The disaster of Qin Xiang cannot be overcome. Fortunately, Your Majesty Holding the Qianfu, explaining the treasures of Kun, wearing the emperor''s picture, learning the emperor''s writings, Lin Yanzhou, calling for talents, following the heavens and the earth, and washing good fortune, this is why Tang and Wu made great achievements. Today, the minister observes the sky, checks the Yingshui, and there is purple energy in Xu, It is an auspicious omen for the great Han to make up for the constitution of heaven. I am bold enough to ask your majesty to move the capital to Xu, so as to conform to the will of heaven, then the Yin clan can prosper, and the way of the emperor can be prepared..."
"Xu County?" Liu Xie frowned.
"Your Majesty, in the time of Yao and Shun, there was a high-ranking scholar named Xu You, who farmed in thorns and washed his ears on the shore of Yingshui..." Cao Ren cupped his hands and said, "Nowadays the world is chaotic and chaotic, and it is time to clean up, so the capital was moved to Xu County. , it''s God''s will..."
"God''s will?" Liu Dan''s mouth twitched. What is the will of God, the current Liu Xie is very clear, and naturally he will not be moved by the so-called words of God''s will or not. For Liu Xie, he just wants to find out what Cao Cao thinks...
Cao Cao was kneeling on the table calmly, not saying a word, not looking at Liu Xie, and not expressing anything.
What does it mean?
Although Cao Cao didn''t speak up, since Xun Yu and Cao Ren both spoke, there is actually not much difference between Cao Cao''s own words.
"Your Majesty please judge!" Cao Ren continued clasping his hands.
"This..." Liu Xie pondered for a moment, and said, "...this matter is very important..." After speaking, Liu Xie glanced at Cao Cao, and found that Cao Cao was still lowering his head, and continued without any special expression, "Maybe... Let’s discuss it again…”
Xun Yu and Cao Ren looked at each other, clasped their hands and replied, "Follow Your Majesty''s wishes." Then they retreated without saying anything.
The following court meeting was uneventful. After the court meeting was over, Liu Xie returned to the apse, thought for a long time alone, and then waved to Xiaohuangmen and said, "Go and invite Xunhuangmen to come... "
Xun Huangmen is Xun You, the servant of Huangmen. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the palace gates were mostly painted yellow, so they were called Huangmen. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were set up as special officials, or they were called the servants of the Huangmen. Huangmen Shilang is different from the official positions of Xiaohuangmen, Huangmen Ling, Huangmen Shu Zhang, and Zhonghuangmen Servant. The order of the Huangmen, the director of the Huangmen, the servants of the Zhonghuangmen, etc. are eunuchs and official positions in the Zhonggong.
Xun You followed all the way from Luoyang to Chang''an, and from Chang''an to this place. Liu Xie naturally felt that he would be closer. In addition, at the court meeting today, Xun You proposed to move the capital. As a member of the Xun family, Xun You must have It is also very likely to know some of the stories behind it.
Xun You came soon, as if he had been prepared for a long time. After meeting Liu Xie, he said, "Your Majesty summoned his ministers to come, but for the purpose of moving the capital?"
"Exactly!" Liu Xie also said straight to the point, "Xun Aiqing is loyal to the country, and I know very well, but this move of the capital...It happened suddenly...Do you know the reason?"
Xun You was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why the General Empress was crusaded?"
Liu Xie was stunned, is this related to Qian? Isn''t it because the latter general Yuan Shu acted arrogantly in Shouchun? Why is there something special about this?
"I would like to hear more about it..." Although I don''t know the relationship, Liu Xie still expressed his willingness to talk about five baht.
"The Empress General..." Xun You said in a low voice, "I am dissatisfied with Your Majesty, but the Empress General has never acted arrogantly..."
Liu Xie widened his eyes, and said in surprise: "What? Isn''t this wrong..."
"It''s not necessarily true. In fact, the general later had the intention to overstep..." Xun You said unhurriedly, as if he was talking about a very common thing, "Does Your Majesty know about the disaster of party imprisonment?"
Liu Xie couldn''t turn his head around, and his eyes were a little blurred. How could this have something to do with Dang Gu again? Wasn''t it difficult to overstep or not to overstep just now, why is it jumping to the matter of party imprisonment now?
Xun You glanced at Liu Xie, guessing that Liu Xie might not be able to understand the key points, so he patiently explained: "The disaster of the party in the past, the two prefectures of Hebei and Henan were the most prosperous..."
"Oh..." Liu Xie nodded, but in fact he was still completely dazed. Is it the disaster of the party? How could Liu Xie not know what his father did? It lasted for twenty years at that time. "Gu" means not to be an official.
For twenty years, it can be said that at least two or three generations have suffered from it, and the two places of Jizhou and Yuzhou, which supported Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, were the places most affected by the party''s imprisonment. There is no way, the gentry in these two places The most, the largest base, naturally suffers from it.
Xun You continued to explain: "Your Majesty, why are the Generals and the Later Generals able to thrive in the land of Hebei and Henan? It''s all because of the party members..." Xun You looked at Liu Xie. Can you understand this?
"Oh..." Liu Xie nodded. Isn''t this obvious, without the support of the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu couldn''t make waves at all, but the question is, what does this have to do with usurping and moving?
Xun You sighed insignificantly, and continued: "Before the general, he intended to make Youzhou Mu emperor."
"I heard..." Liu Xie frowned and said, "The general later objected to this..."
Xun You smiled but did not answer.
Liu Xie thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and nodded. "In this way, the Yuan family has long had the intention to plot against..."
Xun You nodded and said, "Exactly."
Yuan Shu''s opposition to Liu Yu did not really defend Liu Xie, but only opposed Yuan Shao.
"Aiqing said that the Hebei Party members... the matter of the party..." Liu Xie pondered for a moment, but still couldn''t figure it out, and said in a low voice with some embarrassment, "What does it have to do with Qiandu?"
"Xu Di, in the time of Yao and Shun in ancient times, there used to be a high-ranking scholar Xu You who farmed in thorns and washed his ears on the shore of Yingshui..." Xun You repeated what Cao Ren said today in the court, "move the capital to Xu, First, it can show that the imperial court has the intention of cleansing and renewing, and second, it can also stabilize the hearts of Yuzhou party members..." Of course, there is a third reason, but Xun You feels that it is not necessary to make it clear to Liu Xie.
The capital of a country has always been the most important place. Naturally, it is impossible for the nomads to go wherever they want. As a result, when the minister wanted to report the most urgent matter, he could not find the emperor...
Therefore, moving the capital to Xu County was the result of a joint discussion between Cao Cao and many people, including Xun You, but today is the first time Liu Xie was notified. At the same time, in order to prevent Liu Xie from cooperating, Xun You had already I''m ready to explain and communicate with Liu Xie.
The scourge of the party, the biggest problem is not that it caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but because of this incident, almost all the gentry in the world began to reject the royal family, and began to think that the Han Lingdi, an old boy, was not doing human affairs, which triggered a political crisis. The instability of the class, under the temptation of Dong Zhuo, an external factor, the party members who have suffered from the party for nearly 20 years suddenly feel that it is not impossible to control, even overthrow, and establish another emperor. Task…
Didn’t you see Brother Dong Zhuo doing such a slippery job?
So amidst the shouts of 999, the party members began to seek political leaders. Dong Zhuo''s violent temper and poor background eventually led to the collective betrayal of the party members of the gentry, while Yuan Shao, who had a better reputation, He succeeded in inheriting the ardent hopes of these party members by taking advantage of the reputation established during the party''s imprisonment.
But not all party members support Yuan Shao, such as the Xun family in Yingchuan.
Then, as the current Emperor Liu Xie of the Great Han Dynasty, he naturally needs to give positive feedback to these gentry children who expressed their support, and Xu County, where the capital was moved to Yingchuan, is a good start and the best display of attitude.
After the crusade against Yuan Shu, the general had nothing to do with overreaching or not. It was just the first violent collision between party members who supported the Han Dynasty and those who opposed the Han Dynasty...
Liu Xie took a deep breath, nodded and said: "I know... the next court meeting, Aiqing can bring this up again, I will allow it..."
Xun Youchang bowed and said: "Your Majesty is holy! Your Majesty is above the will of God and below the will of the people. The prosperity of the great Han Dynasty is just around the corner!"
Liu Xie nodded, but didn''t say anything, and let Xun You back down.
God''s will?
hehe…
It can only be like this.
