Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1573 Zhang Bang ([-]-character chapter)

In late March, the weather has started to get warmer and warmer.

Daming Palace, nine floors.

Mu Jing sat on the grand teacher's chair with a cup of hot tea beside him, and then read a book while listening to the report.

I've been too busy recently, so I have to learn to sneak in.

"Your Majesty, the current situation in Guandu has not changed. Cao Cao obviously wants to lure Yuan Shao into the game, but Yuan Shao is not stupid. Although he is going to do his best, he doesn't seem to have thought of how hard he is. The main force is still pressing down on the river bank. Now, although Cao Cao let go of the defense of entering Guandu, Yuan Shao doesn't seem to be in a hurry for a decisive battle, he seems to be cooperating with Cao Cao's delay!"

Xi Zhicai stood by and looked at the lazy Mujing, feeling a little helpless, but he still had to report the work that should be reported.

Now the Ming court is very concerned about the battle of Guandu. Although they don't participate in it, they absolutely have to care about it.

The world is Ming, and Ming is destined to rule the world, no matter who wins the Guandu War in the end, it will be the last enemy of Ming to rule the country.

"They are all old foxes, how could it be so easy to fight!"

Mu Jing put down the book in his hand. This is not a boring book like the Four Books and Five Classics, but an ordinary mathematics textbook, written by him himself. If it is put back into modern times, it is actually equivalent to the level of elementary school students.

He is considering how to compile the next mathematics textbook.

If Ming Dynasty wants to develop and surpass the times, it cannot be achieved by relying on the mind. It needs to learn the truth, but relying on the truth with one mouth will always stop at the same place.

The progress of the times must progress in the direction of science.

This naturally requires knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Among mathematics, physics and chemistry, mathematics is what he is most proficient in. Physical chemistry, he can only understand a general idea, but it is enough to guide the direction.

Human wisdom is unlimited.

He remembered that in the history of the West, there was a particularly good man who said that as long as he was given a fulcrum, he could move the earth.

The reason is the same, as long as they can point out a direction for human beings in the darkness, they will be able to find their way out.

As long as he pointed out the direction of scientific development, in this era, there are countless geniuses with superior intelligence, it just depends on how to discover them.

Mathematics is the foundation of mathematics, physics and chemistry, so Mu Jing intends to focus on mathematics first, at least let mathematics be compared with Confucianism first.

Only in this way can we lay a solid foundation for the establishment of future disciplines such as physical chemistry, otherwise Confucianism will only cover the sky with one hand, and this era will still be a backward era.

Xi Zhicai's words made Mu Jing temporarily put aside his calculations on mathematics and returned to the topic of war.

"Cao Mengde is waiting, how do you know that Yuan Benchu ​​is not waiting!" Mu Jing said in a low voice, "Zhicai, don't underestimate Yuan Shao, if this person loses, it can only be because of his character, which doesn't mean his city , ability, and intelligence are not as good as Cao Mengde!"

He sighed and said: "Although Yuan Benchu ​​lost in the battle, he may not lose on the battlefield. When Hebei was strong, there were thousands of generals and millions of soldiers and horses. He also has real fighting power, if he really dares to fight, he may not lose!"

"Hebei is already in turmoil, he can't hold on!" Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment, and said: "If it continues, he has no advantage. Once Julu is broken by Liu Bei, the environment he will face will be even worse. By the time……"

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

Some suddenly realized, as if they understood Mu Jing's thoughts.

"What does your Majesty mean, is Liu Bei heading south after Yuan Shao waits?" Xi Zhicai stared.

"You're not slow to react!"

Mu Jing smiled, nodded and said: "Yuan Shao waited for the decisive battle, and this is the time, so he will cooperate with Cao Mengde to delay the time. The two sides will come and go on the battlefield to expand their advantages, but they will not send troops to the decisive battle!"

"He wants to learn from the Overlord of Western Chu!" Xi Zhicai admired Yuan Shao's courage for the first time: "Once Liu Bei breaks through the Julu, the Zhou Kingdom of Hebei will be cornered. Either we win the Battle of Guandu, go south to Xudu, and occupy the Central Plains, or we won’t have a single bite left, and we’ll die and survive!”

If you don't reach a desperate situation, the motivation for desperately fighting is insufficient. The morale of the main force of the Zhou army is not strong enough.

But once people are forced into a desperate situation, they will burst out that the desperate situation should have the ability to survive, and they will struggle desperately.

Yuan Shao's move was really ruthless.

"But..." Xi Zhicai had a doubt: "Liu Bei was able to break through Hejian, and he already used the strength of nine oxen and two tigers. The Yan army has lived in the land of Youyan for many years. , Insufficient population, resulting in insufficient main forces, unless the Yan army's western front troops can meet in Jizhou, otherwise they want to break through the giant deer, it is not that simple!"

"Once the time is too long, Zhou's army will be dragged down. In Hebei's current situation, even if there is sufficient food and grass and complete weapons, the morale of the army must not be stable enough. The longer the delay, the easier it is for the army to collapse first!"

Xi Zhicai analyzed it and said, "Yuan Shao is playing with fire!"

"He has reached this point, if he doesn't fight, is he really going to give up Hebei!" Mu Jing said calmly: "As for Julu, you missed a little bit, even if Zhang Fei's Yan Junxi The main force of the line is blocked in Bingzhou, if there is another army to assist, we can still break the giant deer!"

"Black Mountain Army!"

Xi Zhicai is a wise man who is sure to make mistakes, but he has forgotten that there is a Black Mountain Army on the land of Hebei: "The Black Mountain Army is not many elites, but they control the local area very well, and this happens to be the Yan Army. Lack of advantages, once the Black Mountain Army cooperates with the main force of the Yan Army, Julu will collapse instantly!"

"Looking at the princes of the world, the Black Mountain Army is insignificant, but this inconspicuous Black Mountain Army determines the future of Hebei!" Mu Jing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The world is unpredictable!"

"Can we win Zhang Yan over?" Xi Zhicai had some thoughts, and said, "The First Master is a Taoist of Taiping, Huang Jin Qu Shuai, Zhang Yan is also a Taoist of Tai Ping, and Huang Jin Qu Shuai came from the same sect, and Concubine Ning is still Tai Ping Saintess, in the way of peace, must have influence, if you can..."

"cannot!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "Let's not talk about whether I will let You Ji take risks, even if I can win Zhang Yan, it's useless. In this round of black backs, we are beyond our reach, and if we are too greedy, we will be beaten three or two times." I don't know what the Black Mountain Army will face if we cut off the hand we stretched out, but Daming's deployment in Hebei will be ruined!"

He said in a low voice: "Hebei is not yet the time for us to make a move, so we should make arrangements first. If we don't make a move, whoever can make the decision, let him make the decision!"

He had decided on this strategy a long time ago, but Xi Zhi was a little greedy. He always felt that he wanted to take a gamble and take advantage of the chaos to take Hebei. After all, Hebei and Hanoi were approached, and it was not like Daming had no way to send troops.

"It's me who is impatient!"

Xi Zhicai said in review.

"This big piece of fat in Hebei, it's only natural for you to be moved, but we have to bear with it. Daming needs time, especially the expansion of the army!"

Mu Jing looked at Xi Zhicai: "As long as the army expansion can be completed as soon as possible, I will have the confidence to go to war, and after the war, I will end the war quickly!"

His calm and sad voice seemed a bit gloomy: "This world is already falling apart. I really can't bear it. Fighting for another ten, twenty, or even fifty years will waste the vitality of our Central Plains too much!"

Historically, the Three Kingdoms fought for hundreds of years, destroyed the reserve of young and middle-aged people in the Central Plains, and interrupted the backbone of several generations, resulting in a chaotic situation.

This is something he absolutely cannot see.

So he must end the war as soon as possible.

At this time, he needs to endure and accumulate strength. As long as the artillery army's strength is trained, and the expansion of the army is completed, and there is enough force to dominate the world, he will be able to explode.

His goal is to unify the world within three years after the start of the war. It can only last for five years at most, and it cannot be delayed. He would rather fight harder than delay the war.

"Your Majesty's mind, I understand that the Privy Council has already started to get busy with the expansion of the army. Zhang Liao and Zhang Ren are both in place. The Privy Envoy personally went to the Baidi Mountain Army Town!"

Xi Zhicai said: "However, everything is secret now. Our military expansion plan has not been passed in the court meeting, so we can't be too publicized!"

"I will let the military expansion plan pass the court discussion as soon as possible!" Mu Jing pinched his temples, feeling like he was throwing a stone at himself. The establishment of Zhaoming Pavilion has both advantages and disadvantages. The bad thing is that today's efficiency is too low.

When there are too many people, people's hearts will be complicated. Everyone has their own thoughts, and it is not so easy to reach an agreement.

So Mu Jing had to put in some effort in the court discussion.

"There is one more thing. Didn't Sun Bofu and Cao Mengde cooperate too well?" Xi Zhicai couldn't figure it out: "Even the Wu army went north to fight in Qingzhou, which is a bit unbelievable. On the one hand, Cao Mengde Dare to let him go, but on the other hand, Sun Bofu actually entered alone, so Cao Mengde believes in Sun Bofu, and Sun Bofu trusts Cao Mengde?"

He did not believe that the two princes could have such a tacit understanding and trust.

It always feels like something is being overlooked.

"You can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out either, but..." Mu Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not incomprehensible, because there is a Ming Dynasty!"

"The Great Ming Threat Theory?" Xi Zhicai once heard Mu Jing say such a word, and now that he has learned it and used it flexibly, he suddenly understands: "If this is the case, I have to admire Cao Mengde's charisma, and also admire Sun Bofu's Spirit of sacrifice!"

"It's not that simple!" Mu Jing shrugged and said, "Everything can change these days, but the interests remain the same. Sun Bofu must have interests that we can't see, so he dared to be so bold. As for what it is, don't worry about it." If you think too much, there will always be an answer!"

"Well, that's right!"

Xi Zhi thought about it for a while, and he was right. At this time, it is not of much use to delve into Sun Ce's mind. It is better to focus more energy on his own military expansion.

"Jiangdong is not invulnerable!" Mu Jing said calmly: "Sun Bofu went north alone like Xudu, Hebei is not flat, he will not return to Jiangdong, at least he must get the benefits of Hebei, and then he will return to Jiangdong to host The overall situation, otherwise, this time he went north, he would get nothing at all. This is not the key point. The key point is that he will disappoint the people of Jiangdong. Regardless of whether it is for himself or Jiangdong, he must get the benefits of Hebei, and then complete the princes. The alliance between them will return, and this will give some caring people a chance!"

"Who cares?"

Xi Zhicai looked at Mu Jing and said with a smile, "Is your Majesty referring to Sun Zhongmou?"

"Sun Bofu is not easy to deal with, you think Sun Zhongmou is easy to deal with!" Mu Jing glanced at him and said, "Although Sun Jian is not as good as Cao Mengde, his ability to give birth to sons is the best in the world. Sun Bofu is brave He is good at fighting, capable, and has a city. He is not only a titan, but also a hero who opens up the world and is invincible. However, Sun Jian is not only a unicorn son. Sun Zhongmou is young, but he is deep in the city. In fact, if I had a choice, I would rather deal with Sun Bofu than play tricks with Sun Zhongmou, because I don't know when I will be stabbed by him!"

"Is it so scary?" Xi Zhicai frowned, "It's just a boy!"

"Zhen, I became the master at the age of 16!" Mu Jing said in a low voice, "Don't underestimate the young man!"

"But a young hero like Your Majesty is the only one in the world!" Xi Zhicai said: "To be a hero, one must not only be able to play tricks, but also know how to plot, be good at literature, understand politics, and understand politics." Wu, you have the talent to arrange troops, not to mention ordinary teenagers, ordinary people can't do it!"

"Don't put a high hat on me!" Mu Jing took this set, he said with a smile: "Jiangdong's layout, I planned to leave it to you, as for how powerful Sun Zhongmou is, you can try it yourself when the time comes , but don't say I didn't remind you, underestimate him, you will capsize in the gutter!"

"As long as he has the ambition to reach the top, I can use him!" Xi Zhicai said confidently.

"Be careful anyway!"

Mu Jing is no longer admonishing, Xi Zhi has the pride of Xi Zhicai, but talking too much has aroused some of his competitive spirit, and it will be counterproductive when he is more eager for quick success: "Jing Wusi in Jiangdong has full authority to dispatch, as for how to arrange , Think for yourself, I only ask for one thing, when the Ming army enters Jiangdong, we can do less crimes!"

These words are simple, but it is difficult to sit up. The all-round layout means that as long as the Ming army defeats the Wu army, they will be able to take Jiangdong smoothly.

This is even more difficult than defeating the main force of the Wu army, and it is not easy to do these things under the eyes of Wu Guochaotang.

"The minister takes orders!"

Xi Zhi nodded.

....................................

After Xi Zhicai reported some military affairs, he left in a hurry, and Mu Jing looked at the math book in his hand again.

The math book in his hand is at the primary school level, and this book has consumed an unknown number of brain cells in Mu Jing's past, and he has spent an unknown number of meetings in the previous life's reading scenes before it can be polished.

It is mainly the arithmetic of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

But the middle school and high school levels are different.

How to compile mathematics textbooks for middle and high school levels and contribute to the progress of mathematics is a difficult task for Mujing.

If he had a high level of mathematics, he could still have a little memory, but junior high and high school, how many years ago.

How many college students have come out to work, and after becoming parents, they want to teach their children to do their homework, but in the end they have forgotten what kind of formula it is. It seems familiar, but they have almost forgotten it.

Human memory is like this.

But if you are willing to put in a little effort, it can still be compiled.

This time the imperial examination, the quarrel between Cai Yong and Shi Xie reminded Mu Jing that mathematics should not continue to develop in such a sideways way.

Da Ming's development needed mathematics, so he had to compile higher-level mathematics textbooks.

"His Majesty!"

After a while, it was probably evening, Huo Yu suddenly trotted open the door and came in, panting.

"Drink saliva, Shun Shun Qi!"

Mu Jing glanced sideways and said calmly.

Huo Yu was not polite, there was no one else here, and based on the relationship between them, there was no such thing as offending the majesty of the emperor. There was a cup of newly arrived tea on the table, and he drank it in one gulp.

"Speak!"

Mu Jing said: "What is it, such a call!"

"The list of the county examinations is out!" Huo Yu took out a notebook at this time: "The imperial examination committee has sent it, and His Majesty needs to have a look at it and review it. If there is no problem, sign and seal it, and then Only then will it make a name for the world!"

After passing the county examination, the imperial court will promulgate the title of scholar, which is an honor for scholars, and it is also a big event that countless people are staring at.

"Sima Hui's efficiency is pretty good!"

Mu Jing was a little surprised.

It took less than ten days for the imperial examination county to take the exam. First, the imperial examination committee formed a team of marking officers and distributed them to the states, and then the county examination papers were sent to the state capital. Ma Hui's review of the review papers will be reported if there is no problem in the second review.

He thought it would take at least half a month before there was any news.

Sima Hui's mobility is really good, at least much better than Cai Yong and Shi Xie who can only quarrel.

Mu Jing picked up the notebook.

A thick stack.

Like a book.

This time the county examination, a total of 420 counties in [-] prefectures in the Ming Dynasty participated. At present, there are [-] seven counties in the Ming Dynasty, and there are still some counties that have not participated in the imperial examination. , the current proportion of scholars is still very low, and in some particularly backward counties, there are not many scholars, so it is useless to take the test.

Each county will take the top fifteen as scholars, and there are thousands of scholars in more than 400 counties.

After all, this is the first imperial examination, and the number of people is more relaxed, and the gold content is also higher.

And this time, the number of people who participated in the imperial examination was actually not many, probably only about 400 scholars, which is really not many compared to more than [-] counties.
