It seems that everyone has the experience of walking on the street and suddenly feeling that a stranger looks very familiar, or dreaming of someone who should be very familiar, but cannot clearly see his face.
Face.
This is the brain's instinctive protection, because if you memorize too many things, the burden will be too heavy.
Therefore, being able to have memories is one of the few treasures in life. Therefore, when people grow old and lose their healthy body and sharp thinking, all that is left are memories.
However, the interesting thing is that people forget happiness and joy more easily than pain.
The spring in Yinshan is extremely beautiful.
When the sun first rises, the gentle wind lazily runs from one end to the other, carrying greenery, the fragrance of grass, and seemingly endless hope. Although the weather has not completely warmed up, everyone, everything
Plants and all animals have known that winter is over and are growing happily.
Seemingly overnight, grass sprouted from the ground, and within a few days it spread over the entire land. Everything within sight was green, tender green, and aqua, and dotted among them
, are the colorful wild flowers, and the cattle and sheep that are full but still reluctant to leave, hungry all winter.
This spring has gradually entered its best time.
Under the Yinshan Mountains there are not only cattle and sheep, but also war horses. At the same time, villages have been built one after another along the rivers and streams flowing from the northern mountains. In the surrounding cultivated fields, there are also farmers working tirelessly
Working hard.
These farmers come from different states and counties, but they have become accustomed to it here, and have even become familiar with it. While working, they chat with each other in different accents, talking about their parents' shortcomings, and their family background.
From time to time bursts of laughter broke out.
The south of Yinshan Mountain has abundant water, rich land, and the careful teachings of agricultural bachelors. The enthusiasm that these farmers from different places burst out after regaining the land is beyond imagination. They go to the fields almost as soon as they open their eyes every day, and they can't wait to put them into the fields.
All the weeds in the field were cleared, and every stone was removed. He would even squat at the head of the field, mumbling to Zhuang He as if to his own children...
Efforts are always rewarded. After the process of growing fields to mature soil, the output of the Yinshan farming series can not only support the military and the people themselves, but also provide an extra 700,000 to 800,000 stones to Bingbei. If there is no
There will be more accidents. According to estimates by several agricultural scholars in Yinshan, as Tian Li is further stimulated, there should be a surplus of 1.5 million to 2 million shi per year.
And this is only calculated based on the existing cultivated land. If the population continues to increase and new cultivated land is opened, there will naturally be more output.
Zhao Yun naturally saw all this.
Unlike Ma Yue, who usually jumps around, Zhao Yun is silent most of the time. Under normal circumstances, he does not express his position or speak, but just observes silently. Once he makes suggestions, he is often very pertinent, so in the Yinshan Mountains, although
Ma Yue has more seniority than Zhao Yun, but in fact, Zhao Yun still makes the final decisions most of the time.
Just like now, Ma Yue took the group of veterans like herding sheep to train the new recruits, leaving Zhao Yun to look after the house, inspect military affairs, handle political affairs and so on.
Amidst the rumble of horse hooves, the unbridled laughter of the veterans could not be concealed. Of course, there were also the occasional screams of the recruits who had turned pale, their limbs stiff, their heads and bodies began to sweat nervously...
Every spring, the training of these new recruits begins under the Yinshan Mountain.
In another three months, these new recruits, who now seem clumsy and might fall off their horses at any time, will become relatively skilled cavalrymen, and will become more accustomed to life on horseback, and gradually become more capable.
They will keep up with the rhythm of the veterans, and when half a year passes, it is almost the autumn harvest, these recruits will grow into real cavalry just like Zhuang He, and immediately go south to replenish Guanzhong or other places.
.
With the addition of the past two years, there should be about 25,000 cavalry under General Hussar's command now...
Zhao Yun stood on the wall of the military camp, watching Ma Yue take the new soldiers out for training, and silently calculating in his mind that there are some battle losses every year, and some soldiers are gradually replaced as they age, so the Hussars
The number of soldiers has not increased much, but the quality of these soldiers is quite good.
At the beginning, the Southern Xiongnu group sometimes encountered Han recruits training on the grassland, and would stand in the distance and laugh at these clumsy recruits under the Yinshan Mountains, but then slowly
No more, these Southern Huns will watch with an indescribable expression as these Han recruits transform from infantry on horseback to skilled cavalry, and finally watch the bright roar of these Han cavalry armor.
After leaving, another group of recruits will come next year...
Nowadays, many Southern Huns have begun to imitate the Han people in opening up acres of fields and starting sowing and farming. Sometimes they even encounter problems with crops and even come to see the agriculturists here. Because the farmland on this side is
Naturally, the southern Huns as neighbors can also see the output.
Sometimes Zhao Yun couldn't help but wonder, after settling down and even feeling that riding on horseback was no longer an advantage and started farming, could the Southern Huns still be called Southern Huns?
I heard that Yu Fuluo even likes folding fans and tea very much, and cannot do without them almost every day...
Zhao Yun inspected a circle and found no problems, so he got off the wall of the village. He was originally going to go back to the government affairs office in the village. He suddenly thought of something halfway, then he raised his head slightly and calculated the time. After a moment of hesitation, he changed his mind.
He made up his mind and said: "Zuo Er, go inside and get the tea set first, and let's go sit on the mountain..."
Unlike Ma Yue, Zhao Yun doesn't like drinking. Even if he drinks, most of the time it's just for socializing. Similarly, Ma Yue doesn't like drinking tea very much, so he sent him to the north for the general school welfare and other things, just two people.
No conflict, everyone gets what they need.
Good things don't need to be spoken, they have their own natural vitality.
The down jackets and sweaters produced in Bingbei are simply the standard here in Yinshan. Of course, down jackets and sweaters still have shortcomings. It is said that the new cotton grown in Guanzhong will make up for these shortcomings, and it may be possible in the future.
Staying in the wind and snow for a longer period of time will make you better able to withstand the severe cold.
And tea.
It seems to have become popular since May of the year before last.
Although Ma Yue prefers drinking, whenever he sees Zhao Yun making tea, he will sit down and drink two cups.
The clear and translucent tea and the wafting fragrance of tea seem to make people temporarily forget all their worries and gain a moment of peace in their hearts.
The mountain behind the military stronghold, the platform used to set up the ballistae, was Zhao Yun's favorite place to drink tea.
There is a clear spring on the back mountain. Just set up a clay stove, light some dry firewood and hay, put the freshly fetched water in your left ear, and wait for the water to boil. It is simple and convenient.
Amidst the faint sound of water, Zhao Yun sat cross-legged on the stone platform, as if he had been sitting among the mountains, looking into the distance with his faint eyes.
From Yinshan Mountain to the north, there is also a military stronghold that protrudes.
At present, the Hussar soldiers are not only limited to the south of Yinshan Mountain, but also because of the discovery of gold mines in Mobei, another military stronghold was built at the gold mine. It was led by Ma Yue's clan brother, Ma Cheng.
Station there.
The poisoned water sources that were originally on the road have been gradually cleared out in the past few years and have become supply areas again. After all, the so-called toxins dropped by Zhao Yun back then were organic poisons rather than inorganic toxins. In fact, they were caused by some
A large number of fungi and bacteria are produced by the decay of animal carcasses, and these fungi and bacteria cannot be separated from the properties of protein. As long as they are boiled over high fire, it is enough to destroy most of the bacteria and fungi, plus pulling out the rotten ones
After removing similar animal carcasses, these water sources also have their own purification capabilities, so there are basically no problems now.
From Yinshan Mountain to the west is the territory of the Southern Huns.
Some of these southern Huns settled here, and some spread to the west. There were even many people who, like the Qiang people in the north, began to start businesses, starting from various nomadic gathering points scattered in the desert.
Collecting various furs, dry meat, livestock, etc., and then selling various goods obtained from Bingbei to these people, earning a lot of price difference from them, it seems that he has become more like a businessman and no longer like a herdsman...
"Today..." Zhao Yun did not look back, still looking into the distance, suddenly seeming to be talking to himself, or to Zuo Er and others around him, "Today is a big day..."
"Today? A big day?" Zuo Er, who was next to Zhao Yun, was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "Pingyang is going to send supplies? Is there any new cloth? I've been thinking about it for a month or two, every day.
It's so annoying..."
"If you're bothered, just use a big ear scraper to fan you!" Another guard chuckled and said, "If you don't beat me for three days, you will go to the house and uncover the roof. If you don't beat me for five days, your skin and flesh will become rotten!"
"Are you going to fight?"
"No, if you beat me, you will be honest!"
"How do I think you are being honest? I don't know who was squatting at the door of the house two days ago?"
"That...that something...I was checking to see if the door hinge was broken! Hey, by the way, how did you know that I was squatting at the door of my room? Ah!"
Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile when he heard the guards behind him arguing with each other.
Most of these guards had followed him all the way from Montenegro. Some of them were damaged on the battlefield, and most of the remaining ones had wounds on their bodies, like their left ears. Their arms were almost cut off that time.
Although I have recovered now, I still have a huge scar, which causes soreness and pain every time the temperature changes in spring and autumn.
These guards, risking their lives to follow Zhao Yun in the battle formation, and even using their bodies to shield the opponent's swords, guns and arrows, can be said to be the closest group of people around Zhao Yun. Therefore, during normal military affairs, Zhao Yun is serious, these
The guards were also serious, but when they got here, Zhao Yun relaxed and the guards naturally relaxed a little.
"You don't remember?" Zhao Yun smiled and looked around, "You all forgot?"
"Ah? What day is today?"
"But we have to pay wages?"
"Didn't you just pay the money last month? You spent all your money again? You wasteful guy! No wonder you went to my house every day for the past two days at meal time..."
"Hi! No, I still have money, I still have it!"
"Stop arguing and think about it carefully. When did you come today?"
Several guards discussed the situation for a while, with no result and couldn't think of anything. Finally, they looked at Zhao Yun eagerly, hoping that Zhao Yun could give a hint or something.
Zhao Yun laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "I have forgotten it all, ha, it doesn't matter if I forget it all, it doesn't matter..."
Several guards looked at each other in confusion. How about forgetting? Since it's okay if you forget, then Zhao Yun, why don't you say something while shaking your head?
Zuo Er couldn't help but said: "General, this, no, that, we are all rough people, General, why don't you give me a hint..."
Zhao Yun still shook his head and said: "No, no, it's a good thing that I really can't remember it!"
The guards were doubtful.
"The water is boiling!" Zhao Yun pointed at the kettle, "Where's the tea? If the water is overheated, the tea will taste bad!" When Zhao Yun interrupted them, several guards immediately forgot about the topic.
"Yes, where's the tea?"
"Isn't it in your arms? Why are you still asking me?"
"Be careful, pour some more... you stingy! Aha, you poured too much..."
"Get out of the way! Be careful of the burn!"
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and listened. It was in such a noisy noise that Zhao Yun felt that the people around him, including himself, were not just killing machines, but were still in the world, eating grain.
A common person who almost gets into a fight over a cup of tea.
Today's day is actually the time when he led everyone to Montenegro. It was also the time when he led everyone to leave Montenegro and meet Fei Qian in Pingyang. It was also the time when he led everyone to take over the garrison of Yinshan and officially stationed here.
time……
But these guys have all been forgotten.
It’s okay to forget.
Ordinary people shouldn't remember too much...
Especially painful things. If you forget these pains, you will naturally be able to live better.
Even Zhao Yun, looking back now, can't remember clearly the face of Zhang Yan, the commander of Montenegro. He only remembers a pair of angry and bleeding eyes.
However, Zhao Yun still clearly remembered Zhang Yan's ideals and wishes back then. It was often like this, sitting on the stone platform on the top of the mountain, pointing out the wishes expressed by Jiang Shan.
In any case, Zhang Yan did gather a group of refugees back then and gave these refugees a space to live safely. Including Zhao Yun at that time.
Zhao Yun smiled and took the tea offered by Zuo Er. The tea was boiling hot, but Zhao Yun did not drink it immediately. Instead, he turned to look south and raised his head slightly in the air, as if to let the mountain breeze cool the tea.
, or in respect to someone...
Commander, did you see it?
This is the Taiping realm that you have never forgotten. Here are still the people you protected back then. Here are fish and rice, cattle and sheep, the tough and athletic men of the Han family, and the banner of the Han family that will never fall!
We live and work in peace and contentment here, and our families have plenty of food!
Even Zuo Er and the others have a mother-in-law...
This is the world you want, right?
Yes, he took us to do it, perhaps even better than we imagined at the time!
Zhao Yun had a smile on his face, but there was a glimmer of water in his eyes. Immediately, in the gentle mountain mist, Zhao Yun raised his tea bowl toward the south and drank it all in one gulp.
This bowl is for you, Commander-in-Chief!
I also respect him with this bowl, the great Han Hussar!
