The four hundred and twentieth chapters of today's obvious learning
In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Kang is a military genius. He can always create many incredible fighting styles and accomplish some amazing feats. Sometimes, he looks more like an alien than Zhao Kuo.
Visitors from the world, what is the reason for Zhao Kang's military talent? First of all, Zhao Kang is indeed a genius of war. He has a very strong sense of war.
This thing is a bit vague to say, just like some geniuses in science and engineering who will have a complete model in their mind after seeing a few numbers. When Zhao Kang came to the battlefield, he seemed to be able to quickly have many data about the enemy and ourselves in his mind.
He then began to make crazy calculations to figure out the best way to deal with the enemy, but many of his fantastic ideas came from his father.
Zhao Kuo loved Zhao Kang very much. Because of his love, Zhao Kuo had very high requirements for him. When Zhao Kang was learning to speak, Zhao Kuo let him sit in his arms and told him some stories.
Interesting war stories, some stories have already happened, and some stories belong to the future. Zhao Kang is very naughty and never wants to settle down, but whenever Zhao Kuo tells a story, he seems very
of quietness.
In order to coax him, Zhao Kuo told him countless stories, including all kinds of wars. Zhao Kuo almost told him about the Gulf War. Under such influence, Zhao Kang always had
With countless novel and strange ideas, he heard stories from his father about cavalry defeating infantry in various ways, and even sweeping across half of the world under extremely high command... This made Zhao Kang very fascinated by cavalry.
However, the cavalry cannot be used to directly charge into the battle, because the training time of the knights is very long, and the horseback is bumpy, and it will fall off the horse accidentally. In the previous war with the Huns, Zhao Kang used the cavalry for the first time.
The reason why we dare to use the charge tactic is that the climate restricts the Huns' cavalry. The second is because the Huns cavalry is chaotic and unorganized. The third is because the field is open and will not be restricted by the terrain.
The fourth reason is that Qin’s soldiers are highly organized.
Changing the place, changing the weather, or even changing the enemy or soldiers, such a feat would be impossible.
Probably because he had tasted the benefits brought by cavalry, Zhao Kang gradually became a loyal fan of cavalry. He believed that cavalry would completely replace chariots and become the core force in future wars... He wanted to find a way to quickly train cavalry.
, a way to strengthen the cavalry's combat effectiveness. Zhao Kuo can obviously help him in this regard.
Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of stirrups. Zhao Kuo had never ridden a horse in his previous life, so he hardly felt any difference in this world. But after Zhao Kang expressed his troubles, Zhao Kuo began to think about why the cavalry is so weak today.
What about the later cavalry? He suddenly thought that it might be because of the equipment of the horses.
The stirrup is a time-traveling equipment that has been almost worn out in later generations. Anyone who travels through time can always make a stirrup, which scares everyone. The first historical workers believed that the formation of the stirrup was during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the Hu people went south.
brought later... However, the cultural relics unearthed later in the Wei and Jin Dynasties overturned this conclusion, so the formation time of the stirrup was determined to be in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Those who traveled to the Three Kingdoms period and made stirrups will probably not be regarded as
What a genius.
Later, the cloth stirrups, the simplest single stirrups, appeared in the murals of the Western Han Dynasty, which overturned the previous conclusion. According to current research, the stirrups in the murals unearthed in Mobei probably appeared in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and were from Mobei.
The Huns were the first to do it, and some people even think that the rapid rise of Maodun Shanyu is related to it. We don't know what the truth is. The only thing we know is that there is no need to invent the stirrup when traveling to the Three Kingdoms.
As for the saddle, it is not a novelty. People usually invent out of laziness. The saddle can very well relieve the aches and pains of the knights and increase their comfort. The appearance of such a good thing does not have to be as late as the stirrup... and in the end...
The key thing is the horseshoe. Horseshoes are not easy to invent. Generally speaking, they are something that came much later, that is, a product of the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Of course, the earliest horseshoes unearthed were more than 200 BC, which is exactly the same era as today, but they were unearthed in Europe, and it is speculated that they were invented by the Romans.
Zhao Kuo didn't have a clear understanding of these three things, but after all, he had lived in this era for so long and had ridden horses all his life. Combined with the difficulties encountered in riding horses today, he could probably guess that these three things were
How to use it. When Zhao Kuo brought his son to the research center of the Mohist family, the disciples of the Mohist family stood up and worshiped him one after another. They regarded Zhao Kuo as a giant, although Zhao Kuo himself did not admit it.
King Qin fell in love with the Mohists after he tasted the convenience of paper, waterwheels, plows, blast furnace smelting, hydraulic smelting and other technologies...the abilities of these people are so powerful. Paper allowed Qin to get rid of bamboo slips.
, the improvement of work efficiency fundamentally formed a technological advantage for various countries. The subsequent waterwheels and plows greatly increased the grain production in various parts of the Qin State, not to mention the improvement of iron quality and the increase in output of smelting technology.
Thanks to the efforts of these people, the State of Qin has completed a technological monopoly on all countries. The King of Qin rewarded these people with titles, better treatment, more support, and asked them to study with confidence. I will always support the second and third sons.
Don't be afraid of failure, just do it and you'll be done! When the three Mo schools recognized the same giant, the Mo school also ushered in a period of rapid development, and the division of labor among the three schools was clear.
Qi Mo was studying the Mohist scriptures, and with the help of Zhao Kuo, he reinterpreted it, advocated the unification of Mohism, put forward many political ideas, and trained many disciples, while Chu Mo and Qin Mo were engaged in
Civil and military inventions... The Mohist school's influence in the Qin State continued to increase, and it seemed to have become a famous school... Today's famous school is none other than the Fajia School, with Han Fei as the leader, with the Qin State as the backing, and indispensable
Counting officials come to carry out...
Even Confucianism had to step aside... As soon as Han Fei's "Han Feizi" came out, the master of Legalism directly pushed Legalism to the point of being unparalleled in the world. Han Fei spent his whole life studying the law and filling the gaps in the law.
Many legal doctrines of Zhao Kuo, such as the need to judge criminals on a human basis, are already very advanced in Zhao Kuo's opinion... Han Fei proposed that there is no need to punish livestock for breaking the law, because they are livestock, and he is not
people.
However, when a person breaks the law, he must be punished, because he is respected as a person, a rational person, so he must accept punishment. When punishing a rational person, he must be punished in the same way as a human being.
In addition, there are several methods of punishing crimes proposed by Han Fei, the concept of attempt, the relationship between moral sense and the popularization of the law, subjectivity and objectivity, emergency avoidance, life first, etc... Zhao Kuo was a little scared. What did he do?
What kind of monster... Legalism became a prominent school, and the only one that could compete with it was Confucianism. Speaking of which, Confucianism was also miserable. When the Yang Zhu School emerged, it was Confucianism that could compete. When Mohism emerged, Confucianism and Legalism were the only ones that could compete.
With the rise of Confucianism, Confucianism was the unlucky one.
After these two families, there are of course the Mohists and the Zajia... The Zajia faction wants to absorb the leaders of the hundreds of schools and respect the unification... It wants the rule of law and virtue. It is the stitching monster of the hundreds of schools, and its representative scholar is Zhao Kuo.
..There is also Lu Buwei, mainly Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo's original disciples returned to various places to teach his disciples, which led to the rise of the Zajia family...Across the country, there are disciples and grandsons of Zhao Kuo, some holding official positions, and some
Some join the army, specialize in studying horse service, and some work in farming to save people.
The Zajia's absorption of the best of hundreds of schools and the integration of the six kingdoms have a huge impact on the Qin State. Therefore, the Qin State official supports this school of thought, but it is easy to be suppressed in places such as the Chu State and the Yan State... The Zajia Family
The reason why he did not become the largest scholar in one fell swoop is probably because he appeared for too short a time... his savings were too weak... and Zhao Kuo, the master of the school, was unwilling to intentionally revitalize this school.
The rise of the Mohist family can be easily seen by the number of his disciples... When Zhao Kuo and Zhao Kang walked in, they were crowded with almost all disciples of the Mohist family. They looked very busy, and some were busy.
They were putting out fires, some were whittling wood, and some were playing with mud... Zhao Kang was stunned. This was his first time here. Everyone paid homage to Zhao Kuo, and Wu Fu soon came out to greet them.
"Why are you here?" I wiped the sweat from my forehead and looked at Zhao Kuo in front of me with a sullen expression. He seemed to have little respect for Zhao Kuo in his current appearance.
Zhao Kuo smiled and just said: "I have a few ideas that I want to discuss with you..." They walked to the shade of a tree. Wu Fu looked at Zhao Kuo seriously.
Said: "It's like this, it's about riding a horse. You also know that riding a horse is difficult..." Zhao Kuo sat down directly and started drawing on the ground with his hands, "Look, if there is such a thing
, allowing knights to sit on horses and move around at will..."
"Horses' hoofs wear out too quickly. If iron could be nailed on, would it be possible to prevent such wear and tear?"
Zhao Kuo spoke very quickly, and the things he drew were a bit crude. Wu Fu frowned and thought about it seriously. The three-piece cavalry suit was not that difficult, even worse than paper. Especially things like stirrups were even simpler.
, Wufu thought seriously for a long time and said: "I can try to make it. Please give me some time, and I will make the best, most convenient and most comfortable one..."
"Okay, time to work."
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Zhao Kuo came here once in a while, so Wu Fu took him to see many current researches. The Mohist family's imagination seemed to have been opened up by Zhao Kuo, and they began to toss in all kinds of strange things.
, probably they were fascinated by the great success of water power. They actually wanted to make water-powered textile machines, water-powered carriages, and water-powered soldiers... Zhao Kuo was a little confused, but he still did not interrupt their imagination.
It's something very important.
Until he discovered that someone was studying Sinan. Sinan was the predecessor of the compass and one of the four great inventions of our country. Its earliest appearance can be traced back to Mafu Mountain in Handan during the Warring States Period... Well, this is fellow Zhao Kuo. According to speculation,
The Handan people made such an invention after coming into contact with the magnetite in Cishan, and the people who studied him actually wanted to make a Sinan that could point to the north, east, and west... Zhao Kuo felt that this was unnecessary
Already...
Zhao Kuo helplessly explained to them the so-called principle of magnetism, and of course the Mohist disciples quickly recorded it.
Only Zhao Kang squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "This thing can play a greater role in the grassland..."
"Yes, the grasslands and the ocean are both places where he plays a role..." Zhao Kuo said.
Speaking of the ocean, we have to mention the ships that the Mohists are studying. Today's ship technology is very backward. It is so backward that these ships cannot go to sea, and large-scale naval and water battles cannot occur. They can only exist to transport food.
..Zhao Kuo knew nothing about ships, and he really couldn't contribute much in this regard. However, he still sincerely praised these Mohist disciples who wanted to build ships.
From land exploration to ocean to space, this is the trend.
Zhao Kuo took Zhao Kang away from here. Zhao Kang was still talking about the cavalry three-piece suit along the way. He felt that if he could make it, it would be of great help. Then what Qin needs to do next is to make a large number of cavalry suits.
Training war horses... The father and son returned home. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a "stranger" standing in the courtyard. Zhao Kang was stunned for a moment, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then shouted: "Cheng Xi!"
Cheng Yu turned around, he was wearing very simple clothes, his face was changed, and he was no longer as young as before. He had changed tremendously. He had been away from Xianyang for so many years, and finally came back. Cheng Xi bowed to Zhao Kuo seriously, Zhao Kuo
Kuo was so excited that he was a little speechless, so he pulled Cheng Yu to sit down.

"I saw a lot. I really saw a lot along the way..." Cheng Yu shook his head and talked about what he had seen along the way. The situation in various places was still not very optimistic. The people
The labor intensity is very high. From children who have just grown up, to the elderly, to women, everyone needs to continue to participate in the work. Cheng Xi said: "Although my brother has no longer organized corvee and the tax is lower than before, the common people
It’s still not easy to eat enough..."
"Due to currency issues, many people in the new counties have lost their savings, and the market is in chaos..."
"Thieves, there are too many thieves."
"Local officials can't understand what the people are saying and can't communicate..."
"The earth shook the mountains in Handan, destroying many houses and crushing many people to death. This caused chaos. Zhao people felt that this was the anger of their ancestors..."
Zhao Kuo listened quietly to Cheng Xi's description of the local situation, nodding from time to time, looking a little sad. Zhao Kang was a little angry. They just met, so let's say something nice. You have to say this... Treat Cheng Xi as finished.
Finally, Zhao Kuo sighed and said: "Everything will be fine. These problems must be solved... When the internal war is over, Qin will be able to deal with internal government affairs with all its strength... You have indeed grown a lot.
ah."
"Father, I came back this time to persuade my brother... In order to compete, local officials force the people to try their best to improve their political performance, which makes the people exhausted... Such competition is a good thing, but it will also cause officials to
In order to protect themselves and get a better title, they squeezed the people under their control, forced the elderly to work in order to increase food production, and killed the people. I have seen a lot of such things, and this is really not a good thing."
