(Please give me monthly votes, please give me monthly votes, please give me monthly votes, I did a great job yesterday, please keep up the good work.??.?`)
As the new year passes, time enters the ninth year of the great cause, and everyone is one year older.
Everyone else is fine, but Li Po is in a bit of trouble here.
I don't know exactly how old he is, but the fictional age is seventeen, still a young man.
Seventeen years old was not considered an adult in the Sui Dynasty, because the Sui Dynasty stipulated that men should reach adulthood at twenty and women must be eighteen years old.
Of course, this was established during the reign of Emperor Wen, in order to implement the land equalization system. If the age was set too young, more land would be allocated, in case there were not enough farmers and they would not be able to pay the grain tax.
Therefore, this has also resulted in changing customs in various places. The age at which men and women reach adulthood varies. Except for the government, no one follows this. You think I have children, but they are not yet adults?
If Li Po were still a horseherd in Mayi City, no one would care about him, but now it is different. He also has a teacher.
Li Jing seemed to have just remembered this. Of course, it was his daughter who reminded him. Otherwise, with all the lawsuits on his mind now, he would not care about how old Li Po is.
So, he sent a letter to the racecourse and got a cousin name for Li Po.
According to the rules of the Kansai people, Li Po is considered an adult. Since then, Li Po has had another name, Li Ding'an.
Li Jing's intention can be clearly seen from the name of the name. This generation of the Li family has a certain name. This is obviously a precursor to Li's marriage.
It's a pity that Li Po doesn't understand it himself. He thinks the name is a bit vulgar, but it can still be used.
As for what Li Jing said in the letter, the broken words were too sharp and should be calmed down, hidden and strengthened, etc. He pretended not to see it at all and passed it by.
Li Bi also wanted to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Li Po, but unfortunately, his father couldn't come...? There were no elders at the racecourse, so the coming-of-age ceremony couldn't be held.
Li Bi can't be the host, right? What's the point?
When Li Po came of age, there were many tragedies. It was as if nothing had happened.
Later, Li Po gradually read more books and understood that the ceremony of coming of age is very important. After a man has passed this age, you can take wives and concubines at will. In a big family, if you are not the eldest son, you can also take concubines.
If you can get some property, you can go out and start your own business.
Recalling how quietly he had grown up, Li Po gritted his teeth and held a new coming-of-age ceremony. Of course, there was definitely the intention of being angry with his father-in-law. You were fooling a stupid boy back then.
The first month of this year was not peaceful. The army was gradually gathering towards Zhuojun again, and the Shandong people had almost knocked their brains out.
Zhai Rang's Wagang Army gradually gained some momentum.
It is worth mentioning that Bai Yu, the Lingwu Shepherd slave, rebelled. You can understand by this name that he is a descendant of the Qiang people. Dang Xiang Qiang was not as arrogant as he was later, but he also had considerable influence in the west.
This is a typical slave uprising in the border areas. The main reason is also the inevitable reaction caused by the growing strength of the Turkic royal court and its tentacles extending to the Western Regions.
However, the timing was good. Sui Emperor Yang Guang had not returned to Chang'an for a long time. The Western Turks were experiencing civil strife again.
When the herdsman Bai Yusuo revolted, there were only a few dozen people, but it soon grew to several thousand people, and the Xihu from various tribes in the west joined in one after another.
Later, people were quite funny. They set a very high tone for Bai Yusuo's uprising. He effectively supported various rebel armies in the Central Plains and made great contributions to overthrowing the decadent rule of the Sui Dynasty, blah blah blah.
But in fact, most of Bai Yusuo's subordinates were Xihu. They connected the Turks to the north and raided the prefecture. They did all kinds of evil. Wherever they passed, smoke and dust billowed and the red ground was thousands of miles away.
But one thing is certain. The ancient Silk Road leading to the Western Regions was once again filled with smoke and turned into a battlefield. The traffic between the Central Plains and the Western Regions was suddenly cut off.?.`
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty spent four or five years pacifying Tuyuhun, patrolling Zhangye in the west, subduing the countries in the Western Regions, dividing the Western Turks, and so on. All his efforts were in vain at this moment.
In the Bai Yusuo Uprising in the 9th year of Daye's reign, within a few months, the army quickly reached tens of thousands, which also opened the prelude to the Kansai War.
Guanxi is the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, but the intensity of the attack on Bai Yusuo at the beginning and the various rebel armies after that has not been very strong. The meaning of this is very thought-provoking.
Of course, in the first month of the ninth year of Daye, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not forget to inform the world that he would lead troops to conquer Goguryeo again.
When the news reached Mayi, it did not cause much disturbance. However, at the beginning of the year, the people of Mayi felt a lot more pressure. Food prices remained high, which was very uncomfortable.
Of course, it has not yet reached the bottom line of endurance. After all, farmers in Mayi still have harvests and do not need to buy high-priced grains. They can live a reasonably good life.
To be honest, by the ninth year of Daye, there were only a few places like Mayi left that were relatively quiet.
Just as spring was about to begin, and the world was gradually turbulent again, entering a new stage, Li Bi and Li Po finally led their troops and stationed in Heng'an Town.
Yuen Long was also officially promoted to the horse racing position of Yuen Nei Racecourse. It can be said that from now on, Ma Yi will almost have the surname Li.
If you want to do something in Mayi, you have to ask Li Jing, the magistrate of Mayi County, if he will agree.
Li Po is also very busy now. He has to worry about eating, drinking and eating for thousands of people. Fortunately, the trip to Liaodong was not in vain. He is becoming more and more familiar with military affairs.
His shortcoming is still in writing skills. Although he has practiced for a while, he still can't write anything well when he picks up the brush. This requires years of practice and cannot be rushed.
Of course, there is no shortage of officials and documents in Heng'an Town, so there is no need for him to make a fool of himself.
The most important thing he has to do is to count the baggage, grain and grass reserves, current accounts, etc., which can be regarded as a quasi-logistics. Li Bi will do the rest. After all, he is the general of Heng'an Town.
By the time things were almost done, it was February.
It seems that apart from the change of military generals in Heng'an Town, there haven't been many changes.
But the barracks in Heng'an Town needed to be expanded. Craftsmen from Mayi and Yunnei City rushed to Heng'an Town one after another in February and used Sui Dynasty construction methods to expand the barracks in Heng'an Town in less than a month.
Double.
Of course, Li Jing did not do such things as conquering the civilians, so the officers and soldiers of Heng'an Town became coolies. Li Po joined the army and became a supervisor.
Otherwise, the Battle of Liaodong benefited Li Po a lot.
When building Sifang City under Liaodong City, Li Po was also a foreman. From the use of materials, to the construction period, to the allocation of manpower, how much time was spent, Li Po was considered to be half an expert.
After more than ten days of supervision, Li Po had a good idea. It would not be easy for others to deceive him.
As a result, Li Po truly began his career as a supervisor with a whip and a wooden stick. Several brigade commanders and a general who drank from him at the New Year's Eve banquet finally understood Li's method of joining the army.
Being drilled by Li Shenjun is unspeakable, so don't be unhappy. It makes you feel uncomfortable just like before, and also lets you know that I am very dissatisfied, but you still can't find fault.
The craftsmen said they were also very uncomfortable.
Li Canjun from Heng'an Town is serious about his work, and he is getting harder and harder to fool.
To cut corners and try to get away with it, Li Canjun first gave a joking warning to the clerk in charge of the craftsmen. At first, no one took it seriously.
However, when he went on inspection again, he suddenly turned against him, and he ordered the two clerks to be pinned to the ground and beaten.
Those who thought of finishing things as soon as possible and going home to live with their mothers-in-law were also in bad luck.
Li Po used whips and sticks to make these people quickly understand that this was Heng'an Town, a cruel place where losing one's head was nothing.
It takes a lot of effort to leave completely.
Li Canjun, who has a smile on his face all day long and turns his face faster than turning the pages of a book, is a little chilling at first glance.
All in all, in less than a month of work, Li Po gradually became familiar with the officers and soldiers in Heng'an Town. Through this, his image was deeply rooted in the hearts of his subordinates.
After that, many people had different opinions. Some said that Li Canjun was serious about his work and could not be fooled. Some said that Li Canjun had a bad temper and was narrow-minded. Some said that Li Canjun still took care of everyone.
.
There are mixed reviews. Those who say bad things must have suffered a loss. Those who say good things should not be taken seriously. That's because the food in Heng'an Town is very good and Li Po is in charge of it.
Li Po actually went to Yunnei County once and brought a few cooks to Heng'an Town. No one would understand that this must be an authentic foodie.
Li Po was busy here, and Li Bi was not idle either, and started training his troops over there.
When it comes to military training, Li Jing has learned from him, and Li Po really can't compare. His experience can be used in a small way, but it's not enough when it comes to a large-scale army.
.
After all the craftsmen were sent away and the army settled down, Li Po thought for a while and while accompanying Li Bi toiling, he was also thinking about how he should be more informed.
Now this army of more than 3,000 people seems to be lacking everything. Once the troops are sent out, they can be armed to the teeth. After seeing the appearance of many elite Sui armies in Liaodong, Li Po feels that the Heng'an Town Army can compete with anyone.
A Sui army is comparable and not inferior.
Brave generals, sturdy soldiers, neat equipment, high morale, and good logistics supplies are the best among the best wherever they are placed.
The only thing Li Po felt he lacked was his eyes and ears. In Heng'an Town, the imaginary enemy of the Sui army was self-evident. It must be the Turks. They needed to know the movements of the Turks instead of waiting for the Turks to arrive at the edge of the Great Wall.
