Farmer of Shu Han

The sun was in the west, and after the horses had let the wind out, the tiger cavalry army began to sound the horn to return to camp.

Considering that the trainee cavalry pawns from Wu Kingdom may be unfamiliar with the place or not acclimatized to the environment.

Therefore, the Tiger Cavalry Army also specially designated a separate camp for them to stay together, so that they can take care of each other.

After everyone returned to the camp, someone went directly to the handsome tent of the camp:

"General, Zhu Xiong asks to see you!"

"Come in."

Zhu Xiong is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old gentleman, with a youthful drive between his brows—or a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

"Meet the general..."

Zhu Ju, who was holding the book and was fascinated by it, didn't lift his head, just hummed, and then asked:

"What is it?"

Seeing Zhu Ju's appearance, Zhu Xiong finally couldn't help raising his voice: "My lord!"

Zhu Xiong is Zhu Ju's eldest son, and in this camp where there are no outsiders, he no longer deceives himself and others to cover up this relationship.

Only then did Zhu Ju raise his head, look at Zhu Xiong, and frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

Seeing Zhu Ju's majestic gaze, Zhu Xiong subconsciously felt a little apprehensive, but thinking about what he had encountered these days, he summoned up his courage again:

"My lord, my child has something to say, so I can't spit it out quickly."

Zhu Ju seemed to have expected it a long time ago: "Is it about military training?"

"Exactly!" Having said the words, Zhu Xiong made up his mind, "Doesn't your lord think that there is something wrong with our current training?"

"what is the problem?"

"Those Han people didn't really teach us the art of cavalry at all!"

Zhu Xiong said loudly: "They simply treat us as grooms!"

"Shut up!" Zhu Ju yelled, "Have you seen any groom in the army who needs to practice every day?"

"My lord, you also know that we need to practice every day, which is something only soldiers do. The Han people not only regard us as grooms, but also as soldiers!"

"We didn't come here to be soldiers, we came here to learn how to lead cavalry into battle and kill the enemy!"

As a son of a wealthy family in Wu County, the adult is General Zuo, and his aunt is a princess, how could Zhu Xiong demean himself and be compared with ordinary soldiers in the army?

What he yearns for is a character like the governor of Zhou (that is, Zhou Yu), with a feather fan and scarf, elegant and elegant, talking and laughing, and a powerful enemy will be destroyed with a snap of his fingers.

"But here, you are no match for ordinary soldiers!"

Zhu Ju interrupted his son's words unceremoniously, "Don't talk about the Tiger Cavalry Army, even if you put it in the Northern and Southern Army, you are also no match for him!"

Both the Northern and Southern Army and the Tiger Cavalry Army were the most important guard forces in Chang'an, and both were cavalry troops. As a special envoy, Zhu Ju also entered and exited the barracks of the Northern and Southern Army several times.

He knew that the cavalry army of the Han Dynasty was powerful, far beyond the imagination of the king and ministers of the Wu Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this that he is a little angry at his son's ambitious ideas.

"If you want to lead an army to defeat the enemy, you must first know everything in the army. You have been here for so long, do you know how much grass and beans a horse needs to eat a day?"

"Do you know the length of the halberd used by the armored cavalry? Do you know the weight of the horse armor? Do you know how far apart the two horses are when the iron cavalry charges?"

"Do you know how much food each armored cavalry needs to consume in a month?"

"If you are to lead the army and go with the army, how much food and grass do you need to prepare? How can you keep the horses strong during the march?"

"Letting you be grooms and soldiers is to let you know the most basic knowledge of the armored cavalry army. If you don't even know these things, how can you lead the army?"

The more Zhu Ju talked, the angrier he became, and finally he threw the booklet directly on the desk, stood up and walked back and forth a few steps.

Sun Quan, as the founding emperor of the Wu Kingdom, still has a bit of foresight when it comes to knowing people.

Zhu Ju was said by him to be both civil and military, and he could succeed Lu Meng.

Although I don't know if he can really compare with Lu Meng, but his ability is definitely not too bad.

I have been in the Han country for so long, and for several months, I have stayed in the camp of the Han army almost every day.

So he can be sure that in terms of the cavalry, Han has no secrets about him.

Not only did they not hide anything private, but Han Guo also offered to lend out the equipment and weapons of the armored cavalry.

In this way, Da Wu can build his own cavalry army as quickly as possible.

Han Guo's attitude can be said to be heart and soul to Da Wu.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Zhu Ju felt.

If the state of Han just couldn't wait to destroy the state of Wei, then naturally there is nothing to say.

But what about after the Wei State is destroyed?

Between Han and Great Wu, there is still a winner.

Now that Han Guo spares no effort to help Wu, don't they really worry about the future at all?

Zhuge Liang was extremely wise, and Feng Mingwen had far-sighted plans. If they said they didn't think of this level, Zhu Ju would definitely not believe it.

He believed even more that Han Guo must have left behind.

Or, Han Guo is very confident, even if Da Wu has learned their cavalry skills, he is still no match for them.

It is precisely because of this uneasiness that Zhu Ju is a little anxious—at the same time, this is also the anxiety of Emperor Wu:

Han Guo can no longer be allowed to go on like this.

However, the successive defeats of the Wei State over the years are enough to show that they cannot stop the Han State at all.

The Three Kingdoms stand together, logically speaking, if Da Wu wanted to stop Han, he should ally with Wei.

The key is... If the Wu-Wei alliance, Da Wu wants to pose a threat to the Han, then he can only attack Yong'an.

Zhu Ju entered Shu from Jingzhou via Yong'an. After seeing the sharpness of Han soldiers and the danger of Yong'an, he understood one thing very well:

Great Wu now has no ability to break through the natural danger of Yong'an, it will only increase the casualties of soldiers, and end up in a situation of enmity with the Han Kingdom in vain.

And even if the Wei-Wu alliance, whether the Wei State would dare to withdraw its troops in the south and wholeheartedly deal with the Han State is still a question.

When the time comes to recite Han Lian Wei, it will make Da Wu carry the burden, and there will be no excuse to go north and be trapped in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lianwei could not get through, and I didn't want to be trapped in the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, I wanted to weaken the relative advantages of the Han Dynasty as much as possible in the future.

The only way right now is to participate in the extermination of Wei.

It is best to take all the prefectures allocated to Dawu when it was agreed to divide the world in the middle.

In this way, after Great Wu destroyed Wei, he would not be at a disadvantage in the struggle with Han.

Wei Guo is good at riding, and Wu is good at boating.

To break this balance and go north to annex the Jianghuai and even the Central Plains, Great Wu must have its own cavalry.

Otherwise, the central plains of the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River are all flat land, and the Wei thieves can move freely, come and go like the wind, and cut off the connection between various places.

And what about Da Wu?

If there is no cavalry, even if the city can be captured, it may not be able to defend it. Even if it can be defended, it is likely to be a lonely city.

How to talk about competing in the Central Plains and then unifying the world?

"You don't even know what the armored cavalry means to Da Wu!"

Zhu Ju stopped and looked at his son angrily:

"Your Majesty sent you here to form the Great Wu's cavalry army, not just to let you know how to charge forward blindly!"

"In addition to knowing how to use these cavalry, you also need to know how to maintain these cavalry."

"When Da Wu really has his own cavalry, he can't send another group of people over to learn how to be grooms for you!"

The armored cavalry is the country's most important weapon, and there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

Although it looks like it only has 3,000 iron cavalry, when it actually arrives on the battlefield, it needs fine cavalry auxiliary wings to cooperate.

It can be said that after learning the tactics of the armored cavalry, he also learned how to use fine cavalry.

Thinking of this, Zhu Juda hated that iron could not be made into steel, so he said coldly:

"If you can't bear this hardship, then explain it to me early, so that I can report to His Majesty as soon as possible, and ask Your Majesty to send another group of people over, so as not to miss His Majesty's important matter."

Zhu Xiong did not expect that his lord would have such a big reaction on this matter.

He murmured for a while, but finally dared not speak again.

Compared with Wu Guo, who is seeking to break through the predicament, Ji Han has a different look.

After Chang'an was rewarded in October of the first year of Yanxi, Chang'an, as the capital of the great Han, began to officially move on the right track.

The central government offices in Jincheng and Hanzhong were continuously moved to Chang'an.

Even the Dahan United Reserve Bureau and the Royal Academy in Nanxiang were also relocated.

In particular, the Royal Academy officially replaced the former Taixue and became Ji Han's highest institution of learning.

At that time, Feng Zhongduhu was the head of the mountain, Du Qiong, a famous scholar in Shu, Xu Ci who was proficient in Confucian classics, Lai Min who was familiar with Zuo's "Spring and Autumn", Meng Guang who specialized in "Three Histories", etc., were all college students. professor.

At the same time, the Royal Academy also set up another lecture hall, where veteran generals in the army teach military affairs.

For a time, both civil and military affairs of Ji Han flourished.

Feeling that there is hope for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, someone went to the emperor and suggested that criminals in the world should be amnesty to show the benevolence of the emperor.

"My lord, the Minister ordered Jiang Gong to ask for an appointment."

The servant took a greeting card and sent it to Feng Duhu.

Jiang Gongyan?

Looking at the sky, it's already time to be on duty, but at this time he didn't go back to his own house, but came to visit, why?

Feng Duhu put away the greeting card and glanced at the large training ground where horse racing was taking place.

There are four little kids practicing martial arts over there.

Shuangshuang is naturally the easiest, holding a small big knife specially made for her, playing with style.

Achong struggled a bit, often got stuck, and always had to think about it to remember the next move.

Ah Shun was the youngest, and he was still the same as usual, well-behaved, not as good as the top, and more than the bottom.

As for Zhuge Zhan, he could only stand in the corner and lay the groundwork.

His face was blushing, his body was staggering, and his legs were visibly trembling.

He finally understood why he was pushed to the ground and beaten by them even though he was much older than those two sisters.

When General Guan went to the training ground, he was ruthless and selfless, which could be trained by tens of thousands of elite soldiers, let alone a few children.

Ah Chong has been whipped several times, Zhuge Zhan was terrified,

The weather was already chilly, and he was so tired that his head was sweating. Although he felt the pain in his waist and legs, he still gritted his teeth and dared not relax a bit.

In the teaching of Feng Mansion, one day learns literature and one day learns martial arts. Zhuge Zhan is now looking forward to the early arrival of tomorrow.

In addition to being able to show off one's own advantages, at the same time, like Ah Chong, she can also mock that barbaric girl by the way.

Feng Duhu walked towards General Guan who was urging him, spoke to her, finished watching, and walked towards the vestibule.

"Jiang Gong, why did you condescend to come here today?"

Feng Duhu stepped into the living room and smiled at Jiang Wan, "If you have something to do, just send someone over to tell me, whether it's the government office or the mansion, I can go there, why bother Jiang Gong to come to the door in person?"

Jiang Wan saluted Feng Duhu first:

"Wan, pay my respects to the Central Guard."

"Jiang Gong please sit down quickly, you are much older than me, I dare not accept this gift from you."

"Otherwise, Wan came here this time for official business. The position of the Central Capital Protector is higher than Wan, and the weight is higher than Wan. If Wan sees the Central Capital Protector, if he can't worship, what is the court etiquette?"

"Okay." Feng Duhu smiled helplessly, not entangled with the other party in this regard, "Then I don't know what business Jiang Gong is here for?"

Jiang Wan sat down and replied:

"Wan came here this time precisely for the purpose of amnesty."

He looked at Feng Duhu, "I don't know what Zhongduhu thinks about this matter?"

"view?"

Feng Duhu looked at Jiang Wan in surprise. Is this matter worth your visit?

According to his previous temperament, if he couldn't say it, he would say "what can I think".

But it's different now. After all, it is related to the court council. His words and deeds may be speculated by others, so he will not express his position easily.

Most importantly, Mrs. You was not around, so she couldn't give him a suggestion on the spot.

Feng Duhu coughed, a little embarrassed: "This matter, if you say something that makes Jiang Gong laugh, I really don't have any opinion at the moment."

"Because in the past two days, the military affairs have been a bit cumbersome, and the people sent by Wu Guo seem to have some opinions on the teaching methods of the Tiger Cavalry Army."

"After all, it is about the relationship between Han and Wu. If one is not careful, it may cause the two countries to suspect each other, which is not conducive to seeking thieves together."

"So these two days I only focused on dealing with this matter, but I didn't ignore the proposal of amnesty. Please forgive me, Jiang Gong."

Jiang Wan expressed his understanding: "It's understandable that the Central Capital protects and supervises the internal and external military affairs and is busy with affairs."

After saying this sentence, he said with some discretion, "From Wan's point of view, this amnesty has the benefits of amnesty, and it can supplement the number of Han people."

"Of course, there are benefits of not being pardoned. It can show that the strict laws of the Han Dynasty will not change, so that the people will not dare to break the law easily."

Feng Duhu listened to Jiang Wan's words, nodded and said, "What Jiang Gong said is very true."

Then he asked the question back: "Then Jiang Gong supports the amnesty, or opposes the amnesty?"

Jiang Wan didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a while:

"When the first emperor entered Shu, the prime minister established strict laws to govern Shu, and people complained a lot. Marquis Yi also persuaded the prime minister. The prime minister said, "People from the land of Shu should exercise their power at will, and the way of monarchs and ministers should gradually be replaced by mausoleums."

"According to Wan, this is not the case in the land of Shu, but also the aristocratic families in the world. The prime minister, since he occupied Shu and conquered the north, finally let the emperor return to the old capital, which just shows that the governance is good. system."

Regarding Jiang Wan's words, Feng Duhu couldn't help nodding his head in agreement.

During the war, strict laws have always been used to promote efficiency and integrate resources as much as possible.

Rest and recuperate, lenient the law and thin the law, that is what should be done after the reunification and in the period of peace and stability.

Seeing Feng Duhu nodding, Jiang Wan felt that he had found out the other party's point of view.

After all, Feng Duhu had a very close relationship with the prime minister.

The prime minister ruled the country with strict laws, and since Feng Duhu inherited the prime minister's ambition, it is naturally impossible to easily change the system left by the prime minister.

More importantly, as long as the criminals of the big man are not capital crimes, they are basically sent to a certain place for labor reform to atone for their crimes.

Many of these labor reform places are related to Xinghanhui.

Feng Duhu said that he had no opinion, maybe he was unwilling to give an amnesty in his heart.

"However, because the prime minister governs the country with strict laws, we should be more cautious when imposing punishment on others."

Jiang Wan continued, "Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, the prisoner will be charged with a serious crime even if he made a small mistake."

Feng Duhu looked at Jiang Wan and didn't speak.

He felt that what Jiang Wan said was very reasonable, and it was reasonable for the prime minister to choose him as his successor in history.

No wonder, the political struggles of the Shu Han in history rarely shed blood. Is it because of the thinking of the rulers?

But at this time Feng Duhu was a little confused:

So is Jiang Gongyan going to support the amnesty or oppose it?
