Mirror of the Sky

Zhang Huansheng saw that Qiu Baidao was still unwilling to do Zhang Guoda's medical treatment, so he no longer reluctantly, touched his stomach and said, "Sister, I practiced all night yesterday, and I went out the door just after dawn this morning. I haven't eaten yet, do you have any ready-made food here to fill my stomach?"

"I don't want to eat the brocade clothes and jade food in the royal palace. I went to my small medical clinic all day to eat. Isn't this asking for trouble..." Qiu Baidao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and complained in his mouth. He hurriedly trotted to the backyard of the hospital, washed rice, washed vegetables, and cut meat. After a while, he prepared a table of delicious food, which was delicious and plentiful, and brought it to Zhang Huansheng. .

Already sitting on a stone bench under a weeping willow tree with a crooked neck in the yard, Zhang Huansheng, who was waiting for a feast, picked up the porridge bowl and smelled the fragrant rice, and said with a smile: "This rice porridge, just add water to white rice. It’s cooked, but it’s not easy to make it thick and suitable…” Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a shout from the lobby of the medical hall in front of him, “Bai Dao, Bai Dao, are you at home, how is your business recently? Like..."

While talking, the three figures walked uninvited into the backyard, and suddenly saw Zhang Huansheng who was holding a porridge bowl under the tree.

"Yang Haoyuan, Mo Da, and Ah Li knew it was you three as soon as I heard it.

How many times have I said it, this is a medical hall, not a tea house, you can't buy or sell, and you don't want to shout when you enter the door, but you always don't listen," Qiu Baidao pouted as he stared at the three dazed people Said: "Last time I was frightened by a weak and weak patient that almost passed out, but today I finally hit an iron plate.

Early in the morning, I didn't do my job, but I just met my boss. Let's see how you explain it. "

Hearing the teasing of Qiubai Dao, Yang Haoyuan first came back to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "Even when the donkey is grinding, there are times to rest. After a hundred days of hard training, this new soldier has to train every seven days. Take a day off every day, otherwise you will become a tired soldier for years and months, and you will not be able to stand the battle at all.

Today is the day of rest. We came to Xiong Ni to do business, and we stopped by to see you. "

"Brother, don't listen to Sister Bai Dao's nonsense," Zhang Yuansheng said with a smile, "She doesn't want us to come and eat and drink.

Have you eaten the morning meal? If not, come and use some together. "

Hearing this, Yang Haoyuan walked up to Zhang Xuansheng with a smile, bowed his hands, and saluted deeply: "Of course we have to eat food, but the reason why we came to Xiong Ni this time on the day of our bath is because we want to meet the monarch. , there is something important to advise.

Since I met here by chance, I should put the public first and then the private, say what I want to say, and then talk about other things. "

"This is not the courtroom, why is the eldest brother so polite? If you have something to say, let's talk while we eat," Zhang Huansheng said with a smile and waved his hand, "Even the monarchs and ministers also discuss matters in private. At that time, you don’t have to be like a big guest when you talk about business.”

As a monarch, Yang Haoyuan couldn't insist on talking like this, so he had to sit down on the stone bench opposite Zhang Huansheng, and Mo Da and Ah Li who were not far away quickly walked to the stone table and joined Zhang Huansheng. After the ceremony, he sat down.

At this time, Yang Haoyuan said impatiently: "Your Majesty, you have unpredictable powers, great fortunes, and luck in the sky. In just three or two years, you have gathered tens of thousands of concubines, and you are safe and sound. Come down, the future of Zhang Guo's future is very serious..."

When Zhang Huansheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said, "Is there something you want from me, eldest brother? If you have it, you can say it bluntly, as long as it is reasonable and reasonable, I have no reason not to agree.

Why did he speak so flatteringly, making people stand up when they heard it. "

Hearing this, Yang Haoyuan shook his head in awe and said: "Your Majesty, I may have said something flattering to you before I arrived in Zhang Guo, but now I truly believe that you are both powerful and fortunate, and Zhang Guo's future is bound to be unlimited. .

It is only the way for small states to survive and the way for big states to thrive.

When I was in Nanyang County, I imagined that Zhang Guo was a small country with a few hundred thousand, as many as 200,000 to 300,000 people. The shipping hub of the North Four Continents can rely on the benefits of maritime trade to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers to protect themselves, and it is already a military force.

But the reality is that Zhang Guoguo has ten million people in less than three years, and the pure land occupied can still support the people, so if there are only ordinary soldiers and cavalry in the territory, it is not enough..."

Having said this, he paused for a while, and peeked at Zhang Huansheng's face, seeing Zhang Huansheng's expression of contemplation, secretly happy in his heart, and continued: "There are Chixiong, Shenhuo, Qingya and other Royal Forest Five in Great Chu. The army, ancient Chu had ghost faces, fierce beasts, Jin had copper chariot formations... For all those forces that can be called a big country and a strong state, there must be a 'strong army' to control the country.

Although Zhang Guo is not a powerful country now, it will continue to flourish according to the previous momentum. After another ten or eight years, it will definitely be different. At this time, it is cheaper to plan ahead. "

Hearing these words, Zhang Huansheng frowned and pondered for a long time, and said softly: "I have actually thought about this, but the big 'strong armies' you mentioned are all from the ancient inheritance, training methods. , Equipment building, mount cultivation... Boxing is a unique secret, and it is impossible to spread it.

But if you want to find another way and create a unique kind of arms that can compete with them, the time, wisdom, and money you need to invest are simply unimaginable, so you can only give up. "

"Your Majesty, it's not easy for us Zhang Guo to develop a strong army like that in a short time, but we can take the next step." Yang Haoyuan said softly: "Xu Guo is also a second-rate state in the southern Yanhuang region. The Xiaofeng Army, one of the mighty soldiers, was established seven hundred years ago to be perfected. Although it is longer than naval warfare, it can also compete with the barbarians in the forest on land.

It is equivalent to the Great Chu Royal Forest Army at sea, the Jin State Bronze Chariot Array, the ground..."

"It turns out that the eldest brother is in a hurry to let me rebuild the Xiaofeng Army," Zhang Xuansheng interrupted Yang Haoyuan's words suddenly: "This is quite simple..."

"If you want to learn a similar shape, it's really easy," Yang Haoyuan took out a three-inch-thick silk book from his arms and interjected, "Zhou Jian is already there, just put on firearms and practice some water. It's enough to start the general's ship.

However, it is absolutely impossible to reshape the Xiaofeng Army with two or three years of effort. "

While speaking, he put the silk book in front of Zhang Huansheng with both hands, "This is the forest people's army pressing on the border, and the entire Xiaofeng army was ordered to leave the camp and retreat to Nanyang City. A daring captain took advantage of the chaos. In the General Pavilion, the stolen "Xiaofeng Chengjun Lu", the lord can see how difficult it is." 8)
