burning nations

Chapter 46

No one can tell how much the prairie empire of Iron Man has influenced the Zaku Empire, and no one can tell, and it can be said to be all aspects.

The defeat of Emperor Taizong, the three major battalions of the Imperial Central Army, the Sweeping, Fengrui, and Wudang, suffered heavy losses of 80 imperial troops. It was like discounting the fortunes of the newly born empire and entering a period of stability and decline earlier.It was from Emperor Taizong Zhao Guang that the empire changed from pioneering and aggressive to conservative and stable, which triggered a series of things.

If the house building is considered small, then from this point of view, the empire's strategy has generally been "shou" in the past few generations. How much territory has the empire opened up over the generations?Lanzhou, Taozhou, Hezhou, Lingzhou, Huizhou, Fengzhou, Shengzhou. Are there many?many!How many years have you used it?Hundreds of years back and forth!

The defeat during Taizong's period was from aggressive to conservative, from promises to overall planning and negotiation.In the early years of the empire, the main force of the military battle was the three central battalions of the imperial army; now, the central army is no different from the peasants, the main army is the local frontier army, and the nobles at all levels in the country have private soldiers, and even the private soldiers of the border nobles are listed. The empire pays part of the wages.

Everyone has an army, so the right to speak is no longer the old Zhao's family.In order to win over the army, the emperors of all dynasties had to win over the generals at the frontier, and the generals at the border took it for granted that they supported their own troops. As a result, there were aristocrats and aristocrats who oppressed and exploited the people, so that there were very few self-employed farmers in the country; Interest groups - feudal towns!
To put it inappropriately, if the current emperor Zhao Ju doesn't support the historians, can he mobilize the Lanzhou historians?

Even the "Nine-Level System", the fundamental law of the empire, was born by Emperor Taizong Zhenzong at that time in order to preserve the Zhao family empire and give benefits to the nobles.

In a word: Iron Man changed Zaku and history.

After visiting Zhu Wu's dormitory, I took a rest and went to geography class in the afternoon. She was the only girl who was normally looking for a seat. The normal Zhu Wu and the others were next to her, still in the first row.

It was about three or two minutes before the class started. The students at the door rushed in, and suddenly they quickly moved to the two sides, giving way to the spacious road in the middle.Zhang Cai was still wondering which big shot came, and saw some obviously very noble young masters guarding a well-dressed student coming in like stars holding the moon. First, he saw the guardian bird on his chest, and then saw Zhang Cai immediately recognized who these people were.

As for Tan Yang, just entering the door, he glanced to the side as usual, just in time to see Zhang Cai who was already seated.

Suddenly, a sneer as bright as a lotus flower appeared on Tan Yang's face.

"Hello, classmate. I'm Tan Yang. I'm in the same class as you. My partner and I came to the class. There are still vacant seats next to yours. I don't know if there is anyone." Tan Yang spoke elegantly, as if engraved on the The same politeness in his bones, coupled with his impeccably decent student attire and the nobility cultivated since he was a child, almost captured the hearts of Zhu Wu and the four of them with just one mouth, and the goodwill was overwhelmed as soon as they met.

Of course, Tan Yang spoke half-directed at Zhang Cai.

Secondly, Zhu Wu and the four of them knew the guardian bird of the superior family Daizhou Tan family.

In fact, Zhang Cai also has a crush on him, but Zhang Cai knew from Tan Yang half-talking to him that it was for him!

Well, if you are kind and you are polite, then I will be kind and I am also polite.

Zhang Cai said bluntly to Zhu Wu and the others: "Ruopan, give up a seat. This classmate Tan doesn't want to sit in the first row, but wants to be next to me. Right, classmate Tan."

Tan Yang admitted generously: "Not bad, classmate Zhang's eyes are sharper than Lei Dian, and he is very outspoken."

At this moment, Zhu Wu and the others gave up their positions solemnly.

Tan Yang thanked them one by one, and sat down politely.

"Thank you Zhang, we meet again."

"Yeah, we met again." Zhang Caipi said with a smile, "Maybe I don't know your identity at all, but you even know my name. It seems that classmate Tan is well-informed."

"My news is very well-informed, but I already knew your name in line that day." Tan Yang said, "It took less than 30 minutes for me to find out what happened in the morning class and then to ask Teacher Duan for sick leave."

"I asked Teacher Duan about you honestly. The teacher said that you are very bold and strong. Although I don't have enough experience, I didn't find anything from the teacher's eyes, but I can hear from the teacher's tone that the teacher is not angry. , on the contrary, there is a tinge of appreciation from time to time.”

As he spoke, Tan Yang smiled and stretched out his hand to the younger brother he brought: "I just found out that the girl didn't remember their names. I'll introduce them to the girl again, so as not to be embarrassed by the fact that the classmates don't know each other."

"This is Lin Yang, Lin Yunji, and this is Ye Lixiao. The following are: Shi Jin, Shi Ziyi, Shi Xiu, Shi Wengui, Lei Heng, Lei Gongmi, Shi Quan, Shi Zhongyi, and Li Min, Li Yuanhong."

Zhang Cai's eyes followed the envoys one by one, and was about to introduce, but Tan Yang continued to speak.

"Student Zhang also knows the name and family name of classmate Tan." Tan Yang said indifferently, "Zhu Ruopan, Zhu Ruopan and Zhu Yuanzhang from the Zhu family in Xiangzhou, Li Ying and Li Dewu from the Li family in Xiangzhou, and Sun Li and Sun Zijun from the Sun family in Yuzhou. "

After finishing speaking, the four of them respectfully bowed their hands towards Zhu and Wu.

Zhang Cai's eyes turned cold: "It seems that the few of us have no secrets in Tan's eyes."

Tan Yang said seriously: "I only clear the fog in front of me, and I will never probe into your secrets. You can rest assured that the children of the Tan family in Daizhou have their own ethics."

Zhang Cai said very meaningfully: "I have seen the children of nobles who are well-clothed and well-fed, but I have never seen the children of nobles who are well-clothed and well-fed like you."

Tan Yang smiled and said: "Isn't this normal? I have never seen any noble that can cultivate a character like Zhang. I used to underestimate the third-level nobles in the empire, but now it seems that there are also potential tigers in the middle-level." ah."

"The surname of Tian in Qizhou is Zhang's family. He is the descendant of General Tian Fazhang of the ancient empire. He is really extraordinary."

Just as Zhang Cai was about to speak, he heard the harsh bell for class, so he had to swallow the words.

While the class bell was ringing, Tan Yang continued to speak: "Student Zhang, you can rest assured that the teacher of this class is Teacher Pei Lunpei, and he is not the kind of Duan Jiong who is always beating, scolding and whipping."

Zhang Cai replied casually: "Oh, then Mr. Pei is a very smart person."

Tan Yang's eyes moved slightly.

When the bell rang, the teacher came to the podium and introduced himself as Pei Lun. He spoke in a gentle and elegant way, and his every move was like an old-fashioned aristocrat—knowing etiquette, adhering to etiquette, and keeping etiquette.

When Pei Lun introduced himself, Tan Yang whispered in Zhang Cai's ear.

Pei Lun, the most professional map drawing master in existence in the empire, was born in Jinzhou, Hedong.Shao is a ranger who is good at fencing, so he joins the army and moves to the northern battlefield.Retired from the army in middle age, he traveled every inch of land in the country and drew mountains and rivers maps state by state and county by county. The maps he drew were jointly recommended by officials and generals because there were no mistakes or omissions, and he was hired as a teacher in a military academy with a high salary.In addition to teaching, Pei Lun also participated in geography scientific research and found out the sources of many water systems such as the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and Jinsha River. He was hailed as the "God of Geography" by the empire.

As if stuck, just after Pei Lun finished his introduction, Tan Yang followed suit.Before Zhang Cai could digest the information in his head, Pei Lun said again: "My class is very loose, you can come to class or not, and I don't even care about your words. But I want to warn you, I The lectures are very fast, and if you can’t keep up, you won’t repeat the lectures, so concentrate and study hard.”

After speaking, Pei Lun hung up a full map of the empire, starting with teaching how to read the map.

Who doesn't know how to read a map, Zhang Cai learned it in a while.As soon as he glanced at Zhu Wu, Pei Lun began to hand out paper and pens to teach him how to draw a map.

Pei Lun taught by hand, and Zhang Cai started drawing stroke by stroke.East-west longitude, north-south latitude, one longitude line and one latitude line, each step follows closely and slowly to draw a complete picture of the empire's territory.

Then, it is painful to draw the map over and over again
