Thinking of his sons, Li Xingchen still felt a little guilty.
As a father, he has never been able to personally educate his children, but fortunately, Fu and others who are responsible for the prince's education are not idle people. Moreover, it was mentioned in Lechang's last family letter that Li Canghai was already studying at Jinling Academy.
I listened and got pretty good results.
But then I thought about it, although I was not able to educate my children, I should be considered to have brought a good education system for my children.
Letting them grow up in this education system will naturally cultivate their trust and sense of belonging to this education system, and will also help them maintain this education system after they grow up.
After all, this is an education system that will come from a thousand years later. No matter how society develops, generations will never fall behind. Li Xingchen is still confident about this.
Loving mothers often fail, but Lechang is definitely not a loving mother. Li Xingchen remembers very clearly how she educated Ning Yuan. After all, Chen Xuanhua is just her sister. She will get married when she grows up, rather than take charge of her own business.
Chang Shang was like this, let alone Li Canghai, who was the crown prince of the Han Dynasty and the future emperor.
Because Li Canghai was still young, Li Xingchen did not confer the title of crown prince. However, as we all know, Li Canghai was the eldest son and much older than his younger brothers. It was natural for him to become the crown prince. In addition, although His Majesty rarely interfered with the heirs, Li Canghai
Canghai should also be the one that His Majesty has the most trouble with. At that time, the situation in the Jiankang Mansion was unstable, and His Majesty even asked the Queen to take the eldest son of the Emperor to supervise the country. The meaning of this is naturally self-evident.
No matter what His Majesty's intentions are, Bao Xing is very sure that the Taiyuan Wang family is about to be grasped by His Majesty. Once it is in His Majesty's palm, it may not be that simple to jump out again.
.
But looking at the world, who else can stabilize the country and bring peace to the world, besides the majesty in front of me? Anyone who has ambitions in his heart will naturally be willing to step into the palm of his majesty and let him drive him.
"Boom!" A cannonball hit the west gate of Puzhou, smashing a piece of battlement into pieces. A Northern Zhou soldier hiding behind the battlement turned into broken flesh and blood and scattered on the ground.
The remaining soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not help but start to vomit. The bloody scene in front of them was something they had never dared to imagine before and could not imagine.
Although there are Fu soldiers among the defenders of Puzhou, they are not in the majority. Fu soldiers are a conscription system that was implemented from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and reached its heyday in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. From this era, Fu soldiers are not as strong as the recruitment system of the Han Dynasty.
There were not many flaws, and even the military household system, another system that supported the source of the Han's military strength, was not much different from the imperial army.
Fubing is a combination of soldiers and farmers. They serve as soldiers in wartime and as farmers in leisure time. It can be said that it is the product of the ancient people's thinking of farming and warfare. However, the flaw is that it can only have the opportunity to practice intensively before the battle, and it is naturally difficult to cultivate during farming.
Maintain training, so there is a gap in the quality of the standing troops and horses recruited by the Han army's recruitment system, both in terms of queues and individual soldiers.
But with the number of people, this gap is not irreparable.
But now there are far fewer soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Basically, they were lost in battles again and again, and some even became the army of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, such as Hedong, there are many soldiers in the whole country.
In terms of the front line, it was not originally a key point of defense. In order to gather troops and horses for defense, we could only use the tribes of various aristocratic families. It is precisely because most of the tribes of the Hedong aristocratic families are on the front line, so now the Northern Zhou Dynasty is arrogant in Jizhou, but
He didn't dare to do anything to the Hedong family. Otherwise, if these guys who had no fighting ability defected again, Hedong would have no chance of fighting.
Although Puzhou is an important town in Hedong, it was not the focus of the Northern Zhou Dynasty's defense in Hedong. After all, Puzhou was too close to Puban and far away from other towns in the rear, so the defense in Hedong still fell behind the Fenshui defense line.
Among Puzhou's defenders, the total number of soldiers was only 20%, plus Xin Yongda's personal guards, so Xin Yongda knew very well that these guys under his command were crooked, so he could only watch.
He led the Han army across the river, but he really didn't dare to lead these guys forward to meet the enemy, otherwise he might die without knowing how.
Xin Yongda admitted that he did not have much combat experience, but compared to Zhao Kuo, who was talking about war on paper, his advantage should be that he still had a little self-awareness. At least the strong Puzhou City could help him block the fierce attack of the Han army.
It has been a day since the Han army crossed the river, but up to now they have only been shelling continuously and have no intention of forming a formation to attack the city. This also makes Xin Yongda very strange. Before this, he had already prepared to trap the isolated city.
In preparation for a fight to the death, in order to express determination, the west gate facing Kaban has been completely blocked. Due to the hilly terrain on both sides, the gates on the north and south sides cannot allow the charge to be deployed, so it is not enough.
For concern.
However, no matter how tall and strong Puzhou is, it cannot withstand the Han army's bombardment. It is estimated that after another day and a half, the city wall will become flat, and there are even cracks in some places, and it may collapse at any time.
Xin Yongda was very nervous. He didn't know what Li Xun wanted to do, let alone whether the guys under his command had the courage to fight to the death. He only hoped that reinforcements would come as soon as possible after receiving the news.
"General, enemy cavalry were found outside the north and south gates. Many of the messengers sent by our army were intercepted and killed."
"General, the enemy cavalry outside the south gate fired arrows, and there was damage to the city gate!"
"General, enemy infantry was found on the hillside outside the north gate. There are no less than 500 enemy infantry. They seem to be planning to establish a new firearms position."
"general"
Urgent reports came one after another, which made Xin Yongda feel at a loss.
Although the hillside on the north side is not high, it is quite condescending. It is of course better to set up artillery from there than on the pier, while the terrain on the south side is slightly more open. If he really attacks with elite troops and reaches the top of the city first, Xin Yongda will really
You may not be able to react.
No wonder our fathers often say that the upright formation is the most difficult and best to deal with. Because it means that it is destined to be a tough battle, but it is not nerve-wracking.
This kind of offensive method, which is both weak and weak, and difficult to grasp the pulse, is what causes headaches.
Xin Yongda gritted his teeth: "We should focus on the west gate. The west gate faces the pier. Even though it is the most important place for our army's defense, it is also the most suitable place for the enemy to attack. I don't believe that Li Xun will sacrifice the near for the far. It will not be good for him."
The generals hurriedly agreed.
And Xin Yongda's eyes were focused on the city wall in front of him. Yes, he didn't dare to go to the city. It was useless to go to the city at this time. He felt that the city wall was shaking. He didn't know how long this thin wall could protect him.
