After hearing Yun Zheng's complaint, Di Qing used a brush to create rich foam in the tea cup and drank the tea soup in one gulp. After savoring it for a long time, he smiled and said: "You should feel honored, we are the emperor's minions."
"I always feel that the word "minions" has a derogatory connotation."
"That's not the case. Zhidu, a famous minister in the Western Han Dynasty, said that good ministers should be the servants of the emperor."
Yun Zheng squinted his eyes and stopped arguing. Di Qing didn't know the hardships of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. He didn't know what the minions of the imperial court had done and how many anti-Qing patriots had died. So he didn't dislike the word "minions", but Yun Zheng
Different, many of my favorite heroes were chased by their minions to nowhere. Some wives were caught and brought disaster, some sons were caught and killed, and some heroes were even killed.
The pursuit of exile overseas is a miserable word, so he doesn't like the word "minions".
Di Qing was very satisfied with his claim to be a minion of the imperial court. As long as he was a minion, he would not give it up easily. He never heard that the tiger would easily remove his sharpest minion.
He is living a very comfortable life now. No one is willing to find trouble with him, an honest man. With Yunzheng, a general who shows off his teeth and claws in everything he does, those people still need to check and balance themselves.
For Yun Zheng, Di Qing's role is the same. The invincible person will die the fastest, because everyone is afraid of this kind of person. If he is not killed, everyone will not have a good life.
Di Qing understands this truth, and Yun Zheng also understands this truth. Lu Qingyuan told Yun Zheng, his disciple, that the rafters at the top will rot the fastest. If there is a large row of rafters exposed, it is called a roof, which is a shelter from the wind.
It's rainy, don't take it out and let it rain.
There is really nothing to say about the situation in the northwest. Jiao Siluo has a big sore on his back. I don’t know if it’s syphilis. That guy has countless women, he also likes the enemy’s wife, and he doesn’t like to take a bath...
Dong Zhan has now established a firm foothold in Lanzhou. This guy and Qingyi have been in the ghost chapter for the past few years. What they do is to take back Lanzhou, Jingyuan, and other places that are hanging outside from the hands of the Xixia people.
However, Qingcheng in Longzhong is still in the hands of the Song Dynasty. Yang Wenguang is now clinging to Longxi, and Qingcheng is the forefront of the Song Dynasty. This guy also built Tongwei City in Gangu area, which is also the famous Jiaozhen City.
I don’t know why people in the Song Dynasty like to build cities so much. In ancient times, people built castles to prevent wild beasts from invading. Nowadays, castles are built to prevent barbarians from invading. Although the purpose is the same, barbarians are smarter than wild beasts after all, so the craftsmanship of city building has become more and more sophisticated.
of superb.
Yang Wenguang had a lot of gunpowder in his hands. I couldn’t understand why he didn’t slowly eat away at the Tubo people. The Tubo people were actually like a bear tearing off corns. They were used to invading but not used to defending the land, because their habitual understanding of the land was pasture.
, so as long as there is no pasture, the land is of no value to them, and fools will stick to those uninhabited desert lands.
Yun Zheng tapped the Hehuang land on the map and said: "You can raise horses here. As long as we capture this place, the Song Dynasty will have a steady stream of war horses. The reason why the development of the south is slow is the lack of livestock, which can be cultivated by manpower."
How much land has been released? Now many people have begun to cultivate fields around Dongting Lake. Why can't they go further south?
Local officials still have the nerve to encircle lakes and build farmland as political achievements. Dongting Lake is actually a branch of the Yangtze River. When there is a lot of water in the Yangtze River, it will flow to Dongting Lake, which will pose a lot less threat to the downstream. Now these
Idiots are constantly asking for land from Dongting Lake. As a result, Dongting Lake will gradually become smaller. Once the Yangtze River floods, people downstream will be unlucky.
Now that we have already ruined the Yellow River, we have begun to attack the Yangtze River again, wasting countless labors, and all the fields created with state funds will be submerged as long as the Yangtze River rises. I really don’t know what these people are doing?"
Di Qing was very impatient with Yun Zheng's diffuse thinking. He knocked on the military map on the table and said: "Looking at the northwest, you can think of horses, livestock, and cofferdams to create fields. Tell me what you think?
Only buffaloes can be used to cultivate land in the south. If cattle go into the paddy fields, their hooves will rot. Are you going to transport cattle from the northwest to the south to cultivate the land? If you really do this, you are an out-and-out fool."
Yunzheng cupped his hands to show that he had been taught, but in fact he was very dissatisfied. After all, he had planted fields in Shuzhong. Who told you that the south was all paddy fields? When I think of the south, I think of rice all over the ground, a ruffian from the city.
When talking about livestock to an old farmer like me, I don’t know what he thinks.
"I have studied and judged the situation in the northwest. Ordinary strategies are useless. Only by fighting the Qingtang people with real swords and guns can we truly regain the land of Hehuang. But first, we must make it clear that the most important thing about the land of Hehuang is
It is Huangshui, not both sides of the Yellow River. The mountains there are endless and there is no grass growing in many places. Therefore, Lanzhou is easy to handle. It is not a big problem to capture it. However, capturing Huangshui will completely anger the Tibetan people because it is their tradition.
Territory, unlike places like Lanzhou, they don't care much about it. If there is a big counterattack by the Tibetans, they will be in big trouble.
In this way, Xixia and Liao Kingdom will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Pang Ji and others have no doubts about your statement that they can take the Hehuang Land. After all, you have already said that you can take it.
When a general said this, he must be 70 to 80% sure. What they are worried about is the Tibetan people's full counterattack. In this way, we can't even think about mobilizing heavy troops. Once such a situation occurs, the Song Dynasty will immediately undergo a three-sided war.
In this situation, even if I can help you suppress the Liao Kingdom, who will you ask to deal with the Xixia people? To be honest, I am very worried about Zhong'e going to fight against Wu Zangying Pang!"
"The seed is very powerful..."
"Awesome, I know who he is better than you. When it comes to large-scale decisive battles, this is your specialty. I have seen the scene where you commanded an army to fight Nong Zhigao, and I do have a certain skill.
It's strange to say that such a square person like me likes surprise attacks, but a cunning guy like you likes upright teachers. It can be said that he can do both, but he is not proficient in either.
When it comes to the use of cavalry, I am naturally the leader when it comes to attacking with thousands of horses. It goes without saying that when it comes to using the weapons in your hands to the extreme and leading the infantry to attack you, you are the ancestor. You can do both but you are not the best at either. The Song Dynasty at least still has
There is a lack of a famous general who can truly stand alone.”
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not as easy as you said. All achievements are based on the right time, place and people. I know very well how capable I am. I made the real gunpowder, so I am very confident about it."
Its habits are the clearest. Others have very little knowledge in this area, which creates the illusion that I am invincible. Once the enemy quickly masters the habits of gunpowder, I, a famous general, will no longer be so famous."
Di Qing laughed loudly and said: "This is the truth. You know how to use gunpowder best. You are a famous general. A truly famous general. The so-called master is the first. This is the truth. You can count the records in the history books.
The famous generals in the Song Dynasty all have their own characteristics, and they are all people who have reached the peak in a certain aspect. No one knows everything. The famous generals in the Song Dynasty can still be traced, while those famous barbarian generals are only brave.
So I tell you one thing, as long as we Song people are famous generals with clear ideas, they will definitely suppress those famous barbarian generals. Those famous barbarian generals, whether they are Jiao Si Luo or not hiding, their record
They are all fed with human lives and rely on an idea before the war, so their victories are often full of chance and are not a display of true strength.
If you look at the Liao Kingdom again, you will know. They learned from our Song Dynasty and lost their greatest reliance on military courage. Instead, they wanted to find the secret to defeating the enemy from military tactics and tactics. As a result, they learned neither fish nor fowl. There were no famous generals like the Song Dynasty.
There are no famous generals like the barbarians. I dare to say that in fifty years, even if there is no more war on the earth, the Liao Kingdom will definitely become the weakest military force! This is called the general trend!"
Yun Zheng likes to listen to Di Qing's lectures on military formations, and also likes to see Di Qing's current high-spirited appearance. Since returning to Tokyo, Yun Zheng is not so much discussing military affairs with Di Qing. In fact, this is also a process of mutual learning.
From Di Qing, Yun Zheng learned a lot of military principles that he didn't know or understand before. Di Qing himself also benefited a lot from Yun Zheng's out-of-the-box thinking. He never thought that gunpowder had so many magical uses.
And after having gunpowder, how should the military formation be arranged to maximize the power of gunpowder.
Di Qing, who was not harassed by literati, was wise and even great. This is the true style of this famous general through the ages.
As long as people have to eat, no matter how passionate the discussion is, the stomach will still feel hungry on time. When the sun sets, Yun Zheng feels very hungry. It seems that those examples of forgetting to eat and sleep recorded in the history books are all nonsense. He definitely has it now.
Qualifications listed in history books, why do you feel hungry so easily?
During dinner, a maid named Huamei served him. Yun Zheng was very familiar with this maid, and she didn't seem to have that name. However, Lu Qingqing insisted that this maid was a new maid, and her husband should not know her. As for serving him dinner before.
The maid named Xiao Chong has died of a sudden illness...
"Xiao Chong, ah no, Thrush, it seems that you have agreed to marry the monkey?"
"Huamei naturally listens to my young lady in everything!"
"If you don't like it, you don't have to marry! You have the right to choose!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Madam, my uncle doesn't allow me to marry a monkey..." (To be continued)
