The first thousand four hundred and seventeenth section, the world is still martial!
In the sixth year of Yuande, in the ninth month of autumn, Bingshen (eleventh day).
Three rows of fully armed Han soldiers, led by the cavalry general Dongchenghou Yizong, marched majestically from Baqiao in Chang'an into the bustling city of Chang'an.
Suddenly, the whole city was in shock.
Nobles, nobles, officials, and even members of the Liu family in Beijing rushed over one after another.
Everyone's eyes widened and they carefully looked at the members of this special force.
Everyone's eyes were patrolling the team of less than twenty senior officers.
"What a wonderful son-in-law! What a wonderful son-in-law!" Zhang Yuanjun, Mrs. Liu, who was already sixty-eight years old, said softly with the support of her children and grandchildren with a smile on her face, her eyes never leaving those few.
The captain riding a horse.
The old lady, who has received the full support and commitment of the two empress dowagers of the East Palace, especially the empress dowager, now completely regards these future stars as her grandson-in-law.
In the carriage, the ladies from Pinglu Marquis and Hong Marquis were bold enough to quietly lift the curtains and carefully look at these mighty men.
Since the Battle of Mayi, local Chiyou operas and even jokers in the market have created images of strong and extraordinary heroes that make the majority of girls yearn for it.
Once upon a time, the aristocratic girls and princesses in the palace of Chang'an admired and liked gentlemen like Jia Yi and Jia Changsha.
But as the saying goes, each generation has its own pursuits.
Nowadays, the ladies of the Han family like a man who can make meritorious deeds immediately.
Even some married ladies are drooling and fantasizing as they look at the hundreds of returning heroes.
They are so strong and mighty.
The confidence and pride on their faces made these ladies feel confused.
Then, these ladies look at their husbands...
All looked bored.
Countless people with tracheitis are shouting loudly in their hearts at this moment: No comparison, no harm!
On the other side, the representative of Liang Wang Liu Wu in Chang'an and his in-law, Xuancheng Marquis Li Yun, was also sitting on the carriage, targeting several Han generals who could catch his eye.
As we all know, Liang Wu Liu Wu and his queen Li were a model couple among the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty.
The two have been together for twenty or thirty years, and their relationship has never faded.
In addition to giving birth to four sons for Liang Wang, the Li family also had three princesses.
Among them, the eldest daughter married Zhang Shi from Suiyang.
This scholar was neither a nobleman nor a scholar-official by birth.
Simply because this man and the princess were in love with each other, the king of Liang fulfilled them.
After all, for King Liang, he did not need marriage, nor did he care about marriage.
Moreover, the relationship between him and the queen is really good.
But the relationship problems of the remaining two protagonists have become a constant problem.
The second daughter Liu Shi and the youngest daughter Liu Pei are both the kind of masters who have eyes higher than heaven.
In the past two years, none of the princes and brothers of the noble gentry's families have gained the favor of the two princesses.
But the princess is getting older year by year.
Especially the second daughter Liu Shi, who will be eighteen years old after this year.
If you don't get married, you will be in trouble!
Therefore, not only Liang Wang and his wife were anxious.
Even Li Yun, as an uncle, was so anxious that his hair turned white.
As a matter of fact, the King of Joseon, who was far away in Andong, also asked about the life events of the two sisters several times. In order to choose a husband for his sister, the King of Joseon mobilized up and down in North Korea and selected more than a dozen people.
Young civil servant.
As a result... not one of the two heroes liked him.
Until this year, the emperor announced that he would convene meritorious soldiers, noble officials, and daughters of the clan to have a blind date to resolve their major life issues.
The two heroines coyly told their parents that what they wanted was a heroic husband who was about to achieve meritorious service.
If that's the case, there's nothing more to say.
Prince Liang and his wife, who dared to go to the sea to catch turtles and catch the moon from the sky for the sake of their children, immediately sent Li Yun to visit this outpost to find a suitable husband for their two nieces.
In fact, among the crowd, there was more than one Zhang Yuanjun and one Xuancheng Hou were coveting these top elites among the Han army, the pillars of the future empire.
You know, nowadays, the emperor likes martial arts, so martial arts is the highest pursuit in the world.
Driven by this rhythm, even literati and officials, as well as young people from intellectual families who have cultivated and studied for generations, began to practice and learn military affairs.
In Chang'an City, the most precious and sought-after books are always military books.
Especially for famous works such as "The Art of War" and "The Six Secret Strategies", as long as families have the conditions, they will basically buy a set for their nephews.
So now, in Guanzhong, when a landlord marries a daughter, the first thing they check is not the man's economic conditions and material foundation, but whether the man's family has a set of military tactics.
What level of military book!
If a son of a certain family possesses military books such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Six Tao" and can read them, then the marriage can usually be completed.
If this person also has various military books in the martial arts garden, especially military books such as "Minutes of Caiguan" and "Tongdian of Riding and Shooting", which are only for officers or officers' seeds.
So, even if this person is a pauper and his family is impoverished, there are still landlords and scholar-bureaucrats who are crying and clamoring to marry their daughters.
Because everyone knows that this child is a hidden dragon in the abyss, and sooner or later he will soar into the sky!
Therefore, at this moment, in addition to the top clan princes, the scholar-bureaucrats, even the powerful men in Chang'an City, and the landlords in Guanzhong are also ready to make a move, each choosing their own son-in-law.
Among them, there are many people who covet talents at the level of captain and captain.
Although, everyone knows that this is almost impossible.
but……
What if a school captain or captain falls in love with his own daughter?
People always have to have dreams...
If you don’t have a dream, what’s the difference between it and salted fish?
…………………………
Being looked at by thousands or even tens of thousands of 'Tarzan' scorching eyes.
Even these elites of the Han army, who had never been timid when facing thousands of troops and the most powerful tribal cavalry of the Xiongnu on the battlefield, now felt a little frightened.
When I wanted to go to Weiyang, the capital of Yang, I was riding on a horse, but I felt very uncomfortable.
Yang Shi is thirty-one years old this year.
He has been serving as the captain of Yaoyang for seven years.
He has been single since his late wife passed away in a cold weather four years ago.
It's not that he doesn't want to look for it, it's just that it's hard to find!
The land of Yan is not as popular as the inland areas, and the generals of Yan State are not as popular as those in Guanzhong and Daibei.
Basically, Yan people's generals and landowners and nobles all married each other.
But they did this not to stick together, but just to resolve life-long issues with each other.
For example, the reason why Yang Shi's ex-wife married him was just because her brother didn't have a wife either...
Therefore, each family might as well marry the other's sister...
Such a strange phenomenon may seem unbelievable, but it is true.
The land of Yan is poor, the country of Yan is miserable, and the people of Yan are rebellious, straight-forward, and will not flatter anyone.
It was not easy for officials from other places to come to Yandi to take office, but they were angry to death and left in anger.
Therefore, the life-long affairs of Yandi generals have always been a problem.
For example, Yang Shi's younger brother Yang Shun is twenty-four years old this year, but he has never married.
It's not that Yang Shun himself has a high vision, it's because the Yang family has no younger sister to exchange marriages with.
And it was unlikely that the son of a dignified general would marry a woman from an ordinary family, so the matter was postponed.
Fortunately, although you cannot marry a wife, you can take concubines.
Therefore, although Yang Shun has not yet married in theory, the eldest son of his concubine is already able to make soy sauce...
This time, Yang Shun was recommended to the imperial court by Li Guang, the county governor and lieutenant of Yan State, because of his meritorious service in following Yang Shi.
Along the way, Yang Shun kept chirping in Yang Shi's ears, shouting excitedly.
In Yang Shi, my heart is also surging and I can't control myself.
Originally, the general of the Yan Kingdom was an abandoned son of the Han Empire. His grandfather did not care for him and his grandmother did not love him.
Even if you are as brave as Meng Ben and as loyal as Lin Xiangru, you will not be reused!
Just like Yang Shi's father, although he was upright and honest, and loved his soldiers as much as his own son, he was nothing more than a Yang Duwei until his death.
When he was buried, because he was so poor, Yang Shi actually had to sell his mother's dowry and his wife's dowry jewelry in order to prepare a coffin and several gold objects for his burial.
And now, the Yan soldiers finally have two confidants.
Lieutenant Shi Li Guang of Yan State, the governor of the county, and Bo Shi, the governor of Andong Protectorate, were both the kind of famous ministers and generals who did not need to flatter themselves, but would be promoted and reused as long as they were talented.
Just like this time, hundreds of generals in the entire Yanji area were recommended to the imperial court, where they were received and commended by the emperor, and even had the opportunity to study in the martial arts academy.
Among them, there are even a dozen poor boys who were just soldiers!
As for singles like Yang Shi and Yang Shun, it is actually possible for them to marry a noble daughter from a noble family, or even a noble princess from the Tian family who once dared not even dream of it!
This simply makes Yang Shi doubt his life!
But now, he can only feel fear!
Because, Yang Shi discovered that there were at least hundreds of pairs of eyes that had been staring at him from the beginning to now.
Even Yang Shi vaguely heard that someone in the crowd was reading his file.
"In Yang Shi, I am also the captain of Yangdu! I followed General Li as the vanguard, killed eleven enemy generals, and captured 1,300 Youqi. Among the generals in Yuyang, he has the greatest merit!"
That's not all. There are even some creatures that look like housekeepers. They get in front of the carriages of certain important people who can be seen at a glance. They are as happy as if they have picked up rare treasures and report loudly, for fear that others will not know: "
Mistress, Captain Yang Duyi lost his wife four years ago and is still a widow. I wish you a good marriage with my mistress!"
Then, Yang Shi took a look and saw a slender hand stretching out from the carriage. A beautiful woman wearing a phoenix crown was staring at him from a distance.
Those eyes seemed to be able to eat people.
Yang Shi immediately felt a chill on his neck and quickly calmed down.
At this time, Yangcai understood the meaning of what Commander Li said to him before leaving.
"Captain Yang, I went to Chang'an, so I need to take care of myself!"
…………………………
Liu Che stood at the top of Beique City. He was dressed in imperial robes, solemn and majestic, setting off his resolute cheeks, proclaiming the authority of the Emperor of Han to all the people and ministers.
At the top of the city, Yi Zong, who had returned in triumph, along with hundreds of generals who had returned to Beijing to receive rewards, threw the captured Xiongnu banners on the road below Beique City.
"The great banner of King Li of Yougu of the Xiongnu!"
"The commander-in-chief of the Xiongnu Zuo will take the flag!"
"The Huns forced the tribe to surrender!"
"The Xiongnu Xuhuan Army's Great Enforcement!"
"The Huns' Black Crow Army's Great Encyclopedia!"
Side by side, dozens of Xiongnu scrolls were neatly laid out on the royal road in front of Beique Tower.
These large banners that once roamed the land, frightened all nations, were stained with blood, or were terrifying to the people, but now they have all become the trophies of the Han army.
He was captured by the loyal and brave soldiers of the Han family.
It became their gift to the emperor.
It became evidence for them to report their achievements to the world!
There were also dozens of heads of Xiongnu nobles placed in boxes.
These Xiongnu nobles, who were once so majestic and powerful that they could make the world tremble, are now reduced to shriveled heads one by one.
Ropes were lowered from the Beique Tower and then the treated heads were lifted up.
They will become evidence for the Emperor of Han to warn the world.
Who wants to provoke the Han Empire, who attempts to harm the interests of the empire, goes against the values of the empire, and denies the dominance and leadership of the Han Empire over the world.
You have to look at these people first and see their fate!
"The head of the Xiongnu has been hung in the Northern Palace of Han Dynasty. Who in the world dares to disobey?" Prime Minister Zhou Yafu said excitedly.
Looking at these heads, he knew that even if he died in the future and went to Jiuquan and saw Emperor Taizong and Emperor Renzong, he could pat his chest and say: "I have not let down the two late emperors. Today's great man has recovered."
The glory of the Kingdom of Heaven! The Xiongnu fled to the north, the Shanyu fled at night, the world was at peace, and all the nations were convinced!"
Liu Che was even more excited.
He knew that his historical status, proved by these Xiongnu seals and heads, was extremely stable.
Next, it is better to use your remaining courage to chase the poor bandits, and not to use your reputation as an academic overlord.
Work together to dominate Northeast Asia!
Then, it can sweep through Central Asia and South Asia like wind and lingering clouds, pushing the territory of the empire directly to a place where three kings and five emperors, and even later empires, cannot reach.
Liu Che raised his hands, and under the city tower, the scholars, people and nobles of Chang'an immediately erupted into a roar of long live like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
The military music was playing and the drums were beating. The meritorious soldiers, led by Yi Zong, held their heads high and stepped on the Huns' banners, and walked towards the North Tower.
When passing the city tower, all the generals struck their chests with their right hands and paid the highest military salute to the emperor of the empire!
Liu Che also returned the military salute.
Countless people inside and outside the palace walls witnessed this moment with their own eyes.
Countless people are crazy with envy and jealousy.
The Confucian doctors all lamented: "From now on, the world will be completely dominated by warriors!"
Why?
the reason is simple!
What is etiquette?
The Analects of Confucius says: Guide it with virtue, and harmonize it with etiquette. The etiquette here refers to discipline, system, and laws.
Today the emperor and the warriors saluted each other with military salutes, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Chang'an witnessed it.
There is no doubt that the entire world will be stirred up.
From now on, the status of soldiers will surpass that of civilians, and their power will expand without restriction.
What's even more troublesome is that even the young people of Confucianism have a look of yearning and longing.
Undoubtedly, even Confucians will support and support soldiers.
In this way, the military man who has gained power, the hearts of the people and the hearts of the soldiers will become an eternal nightmare for civil servants.
Civil servants may even become vassals of military men!
This is not without precedent.
This was the case in the Qin Dynasty!
Fortunately, the boundaries between civil and military positions are not so clear at this time. Military generals can be transferred to civilian positions, and civilian positions must be ready to go into battle at any time.
There are hundreds of schools of thought, no matter which one, they all respect both civil and military talents.
Therefore, Confucian doctors can still accept this situation.
Only those scum who are not diligent in their limbs and cannot distinguish between grains and crops look like mourners, wailing as if the end of the world is about to come: "From now on, the country will no longer be civilized!"
There is no way, they have accomplished nothing except writing articles.
Let them go into battle, and before the enemy sees it, they will pee their pants in fear.
This means that they will be eliminated in the future, or even now.
They have become a burden and waste to the world, worthless and dregs with no future.
How can this not make them panic? How can it not make them afraid? Jingke said that he has been busy writing a new book these days~ Well, this book has come to an end, and there are about five or six hundred thousand words left.
Just wait and see~~~~ So the update is a bit slow, please forgive me~ However, I will definitely pay off the cute host and the debts from last year~
