The gateway to the Kanto region, many great figures have appeared here.
For example, during the Warring States Period, Gongsun Yan was a powerful strategist.
In the Han Dynasty, especially in the past ten years, the Li family and the Zhang family competed for glory in Huayin.
Of course, in name, the most famous person in Huayin is the Chiquanhou Yang family!
However, this family, which according to folklore was cursed by King Xiang, has not dared to leave Chang'an and come to Huayin to show off its power for thirty years.
The rise of the Huayin Yang family will have to wait until the Zhaoxuan period.
Today, Yang's influence in Huayin is almost zero.
In addition to the Li family and the Zhang family, there were dozens of local famous gentry, large and small.
In the past, no matter how powerful these families were in the local area.
But in Huayin City, they had to bow to the Li family and the Zhang family, and they didn't dare to compete with them.
But on this day, it was just getting dark.
In Huayin City, they were awakened by a grand celebration ceremony.
Surrounded by more than a dozen carriages, a white, plump, affable-looking gentleman stood on the leading carriage, bowing to the neighbors and passers-by.
Four big men with particularly loud voices helped shout: "Huang Gong has a son, and he will get married on the Jiawu day in the winter of the Guiji year. Huang Gong is very happy, and specially informs all the elders: The Huang family will marry on the Jiayin day in the winter of the Guiji year."
From the beginning of the day, we will hold wedding banquets for three consecutive days. I hope all the fathers and uncles will not hesitate to show their appreciation..."
The combined voices of four big men are more powerful than ordinary loudspeakers.
Suddenly, everyone listened carefully.
"Why is this Huang so bold?" someone muttered after hearing this.
You know, in Huayin, the Zhang family did not dare to be so noisy and extravagant when they married the legitimate son of the Li family.
Because this will inevitably attract the attention of the government.
To the officials of the Han Dynasty, you, a small local gentry, can become so big just by getting married?
What do you want to do?
Do you want to form a party for personal gain? Or make noise and cause chaos?
Both left and right are not good things!
Therefore, the bureaucrats who are accustomed to using simple and crude methods to deal with the gentry are likely to choose to deal with this guy who dances happily as a typical example!
Although the Huang family is considered the number one person in Huayin County, it is far inferior to giants like the Zhang family and the Li family.
You know, the two legitimate sons of the Zhang family are now officials of Qianshi, and they have a bright future. Basically, as long as they do not fall, they will have the status of two thousand stones.
As for the Li family, he is the richest man in Huayin.
The porcelain produced in the workshop under his name is exquisite and beautiful, and is sold as far as Guanzhong and Guandong.
Moreover, the eldest son of the Li family became a disciple of a certain great Mohist in Mo Yuan, and it is said that he was regarded as a disciple of the mantle.
And who is Huang?
Just a rich man from the countryside!
He is so public now, I'm afraid, without the government taking action, Zhang and Li will be furious, which will be enough for him to drink a pot!
Unexpectedly, when the Huang family's team arrived at the door of the Zhang family and the Li family, people were shocked to find that the heads of the Zhang family and the Li family were waiting at the door with their servants and gifts.
When I met the head of the Huang family, his face was polite, full of smiles and compliments.
What to say: "Huang Gong really gave birth to a good unicorn! It was a pity that I didn't recognize Heshi Bi at first..."
The white and fat old Huang even smiled and spoke, and let people accept the gift, as proud as a proud rooster.
Back then, when his son wanted to join the army, he was not very happy about it. Later, he tried to force his son to get married, but the son simply chose to run away.
Now it seems that my son still has good taste!
No, he actually married an eldest daughter of the Liu family.
Although, she is not a princess or a princess.
However, she is also the daughter of the Liu family, the kind who is related to the emperor!
The faces of the entire Huang family were filled with radiance!
After learning the news, Lao Huang immediately led people to hold a ancestral ceremony and respectfully invited the gods of his ancestors to tell all the ancestors this great news!
The old Huang family married a daughter of the old Liu family today and became a relative of the emperor!
The heads of the Zhang family and the Li family closed the door and sighed after returning home.
Then, he said to the dozen nephews who were practicing martial arts hard: "The prosperity of my family will fall on you. You should train hard for me and join the army next year!"
This time, Huang Kuang, the son of the Huang family in Huayin, actually married an eldest daughter of the Liu family!!!
This simply subverted the imaginations of the Zhang and Li families!
That is the eldest daughter of the Liu family!
My ancestor was at least a vassal king!
In the past, it was impossible for such a noble girl to marry a man below the title of a prince.
But now, the guy from Lao Huang's family who used to fight chickens and lackeys in Huayin City and hang out with the rangers actually married one!
This is simply adding fuel to the fire, making the Zhang and Li families want to spend all their money to exchange for one of their nephews to swap with that Huang Kuang!
But as a prominent figure on the ground in Guanzhong.
The heads of the Zhang and Li families knew even more clearly.
In fact, this time at the "Deer Ming Banquet" in Chang'an City, the Huang family was not really a lucky person.
He's not even in the top fifty!
The most sensational thing this time was that at the Luming Banquet, a young boy named Zhao actually won the favor of a princess.
What makes people even more excited is that this young boy is just the son of an ordinary family.
His family’s total wealth is only one hundred thousand dollars!
Not even a fraction of the wealth of the Zhang and Li families.
As for his background—three generations of his ancestors were all mud-legged!
It was around the time of his father's death that the family's life slowly improved. With money and resources to train the next generation, he raised this boy up and then joined the army as a matter of course.
After only three years in the army, this guy was gradually promoted from a pawn to a team leader.
In a time of peace and a peaceful day, a guy like this would be like this for the rest of his life if there were no miracles.
Maybe by the age of sixty, I will be able to achieve the rank of Qian Shi and become an official.
However, it is such a guy who caught up with a good opportunity!
In last year's Battle of Yanji, his Xiliu Battalion went out with the cavalry.
Because during the war, he commanded his troops to withstand the pressure of the Huns at critical moments many times and achieved results.
Therefore, he was recommended by the General of Chariots and Cavalry and got a place to enter the martial arts academy for further study.
What's even more terrible is that a few days ago, during the deer roaring banquet, this boy had some shitty luck.
He actually got the favor of a real Han princess!
It would have been impossible for a team leader and a Han princess to meet each other in this life.
But by chance, I had a deer-crowing feast today.
This boy was chosen by the noble princess.
It is said that the princess, who would not marry except this boy, went to the emperor to ask for mercy!
And the emperor actually agreed!
He also specially issued an edict to grant marriage!
This is simply the first of its kind in the Han Dynasty, and even the first of its kind in the world!
It directly broke the shackles of class and opened a new era of marriage between common people and the royal family!
And during this Lu Ming Banquet, in addition to that princess, there were three other princesses and four princesses who were married to officers whose status was completely unmatched to theirs.
Among these officers, the one with the highest position is now just a captain, or a local garrison captain, with a rank of no more than a thousand stones. The one with the lowest rank is the boy from the Zhao family, with a mere team rate, not even a rank, and is a fighting spirit.
Scumbag!
And this incident naturally stimulated the whole Guanzhong, all the landowners, gentry and general families, everyone's eyes were red.
Many people do not and dare not dream of marrying a princess or a princess.
But the daughters of the sect, the ladies of the marquis, and the daughters of the Jiuqing can be given a try.
On this day, throughout Guanzhong, countless young members of the family were severely taught and reprimanded by their elders.
But surprisingly, no one said anything.
Everyone listened silently to the elders' scolding, clenching their fists in their hearts, their eyes red, and their hearts filled with rage.
Who doesn’t want to become famous and attract the world’s attention?
Just like the imperial examinations in later generations, the Jinshi rode horses and paraded through the streets, attracting the attention of the world.
Therefore, countless people have trained young people in their families to study at any cost, just to enjoy this honor and privilege.
Nowadays, as long as a warrior performs meritorious deeds, he can immediately attract the attention and admiration of the world, and even marry a beautiful girl.
Who wouldn’t? Who wouldn’t want such a good thing to happen to them?
At present, martial arts are practiced all over the world, and all kinds of military books are sold out.
The printing workshops in the municipalities even had to operate three shifts to print books day and night.
But even so, the printing speed cannot keep up with the sales speed.
………………………………
In the Weiyang Palace, Liu Che looked through the reports from Xiuyiwei about the reactions of various places in Guanzhong to the ‘Deer Ming Banquet’, and nodded with great satisfaction.
Basically, this matter has almost achieved the effect he expected.
Next, we just have to sit back and wait for this matter to continue to ferment and influence and change the three views of people in the world.
Of course, he made such big news.
It's not without its drawbacks.
Apart from other things, now, young people all over the world, especially young people from noble and scholar-bureaucrat families, want to join the army and practice martial arts.
The problem is that the entire Han Dynasty is now just a martial arts garden.
Wuyuan cannot and will not accept foreign students indiscriminately.
Therefore, these young people who are full of enthusiasm and want to learn military knowledge cannot find a place to study and can only rely on self-study.
Fortunately, the sons and nephews of the princes and ministers can basically get excellent military training and training, and can even enter the martial arts garden.
But the children of scholar-bureaucrats, civil servants and landowners were not so lucky.
And what if, they can't find a systematic place to exercise and learn.
So, there is no doubt that it is basically impossible for them to succeed on the military road.
How many people throughout history have been able to become an excellent officer through self-study?
Therefore, these people are likely to turn around and continue to follow the path of martial arts after failing to follow the path of martial arts.
This is not possible!
You know, among these people, there may be some who will hold grudges in the future.
What's more important is that if the Han army wants to continue to develop professionally and professionally, it will need a large number of intellectuals to join the army.
Moreover, to improve the culture and quality of military personnel, intellectuals are also needed.
so……
"I have to establish several different military academies..." Liu Che thought in his heart.
Wuyuan trains mid- to high-level military commanders.
It is equivalent to the Army University in later generations.
But the army cannot only have commanders, but must also have corresponding logistics, staff and technical officers.
The Han army is now just a pure cold weapon army, which can barely cope with it.
However, in the future, when the Han army slowly transitions to a near-modern army, it will naturally need more professional and specialized officers.
In addition, in terms of building and shipbuilding, it is also necessary to increase efforts to cultivate and train various professional officers and technical officers.
Upon thinking of this, Liu Che knew that at least three more military academies should be established to train combat staff officers, naval officers, and officers specifically responsible for ideological work in the army.
Starting next year, Chang'an will be relocated and rebuilt one after another.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, these military academies were selected and established.
Thinking of this, Liu Che knocked on the table and thought it was a good idea.
Then, he stood up and walked to a giant map hanging on the wall.
Looking at this huge world, Liu Che is extremely ambitious.
At this time, more than half of the world on this map is Chinese land.
Especially after the Battle of Yanji, the Xiongnu fled to the north, but their horses could not reach the southern part of the country.
The entire Munan area and the Hetao area were already the prey of the Han Dynasty.
Following Liu Che's order, he went to recruit the cavalry of the nobles in the southern part of the country. Everywhere they went, tribes rushed to surrender.
Within three months, the actual territory controlled by the Han Dynasty had advanced a thousand miles north from the Great Wall.
Hundreds of tribes, large and small, surrendered under the Black Dragon Banner.
The area of influence of the Han Dynasty expanded to almost the entire Munan.
It can be said that the area under the Mongolian Plateau now belongs to the Han Dynasty.
Such a vast territory, even if it is mainly grassland, Gobi and desert, is still land!
The Shaofu and the Prime Minister's Office are already discussing plans to build the city.
Although the cost of building a city on the grassland is high, the benefits are greater.
A majestic city can radiate thousands of miles of grassland around it. As long as this city is in the hands of the Han Dynasty, other tribes will have no choice but to surrender!
And cities are also the best places for Chinese culture.
A Han city with five thousand troops was enough to subtly make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Yi Di abandon their backward and ignorant customs and beliefs and join the embrace of the Xia people.
Therefore, Liu Che had already strengthened his determination to build the city.
The only question now is where to build it? Who will build it?
Just as he was thinking about this problem, a eunuch suddenly ran in in a panic. When he saw Liu Che, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Huainan Kingdom is here to send you!"
Liu Che quickly took it over, opened the memorial and took a look. His face suddenly became angry and he snorted: "Asshole!"
There is no doubt that the affairs of Huainan Kingdom must be related to his dear brother Liu Rong.
But this time, there is no doubt that Liu Rong is seeking death to the point of committing suicide himself!
Above the memorial, there is only one sentence: The king of Huainan invaded and seized the Renzong temple land.
Who is Renzong?
Emperor Renzong Xiaojing of the Han Dynasty.
The father of Liu Che and Liu Rong.
What does it mean for a son to usurp the land of his father's ancestral temple?
To put it mildly, this is a son stealing his father's land and being unfilial!
To put it more seriously, this is a serious crime of disobedience and the whole family will be killed!
