burning nations

Chapter 53

Sure enough, when he returned to the dormitory in the afternoon, the newly installed door was pushed open. Zhang Cai, who was practicing martial arts, saw that the person who came was none other than Su Qing.

"Brother Su, why are you here?"

"Let's take a look at the big stars who are stirring up the situation in the military academy."

Su Qing said, looking for a place to sit down.

"Zhang Cai, you are too good. Just 4 days into the military academy is enough to be expelled. On the first day, you beat the instructor Yang Xi, on the second day you beat the teacher Duan Jiong, and on the third day you didn't talk to Yu Xiong. The teacher had a conflict, and today he fought with Lin Yang even more, and it was still a matter of victory and defeat, let's go to dinner together after the fight, Zhang Cai, it's yours!"

Su Qing sighed: "Grandpa still asks me to help you. What do I need to help you? You can only help me a little, and you won't be fired. It's a pity that I, Su Qing, can't do it. That's Grandpa's business."

"By the way, how is Lin Yang?" Su Qing asked curiously.

Zhang Cai replied seriously: "The power of the four elephants is well-deserved, no one in the world can match Lin Yang!"

"I didn't ask this!" Su Qing said.

Zhang Cai looked directly into Su Qing's eyes: "Lin Yang and I are just friends, other than that we are classmates, there is nothing else between us, brother Su, don't make random guesses."

Su Qing was startled when he heard the words: "Well, I see. By the way, Zhang Cai, there will be a dance tonight, and many princes and girls from big families will come. Are you going? If you want to go, I will invite you to attend, but I hope you go, these are all connections, if you travel to the imperial capital, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in accumulating connections."

"Sorry, Brother Su, I'm not interested in this." Zhang Cai shook his head.

"Okay, you are a strange woman with ideas, remember to find me in the future."

The words were not speculative, Su Qing got up and left.

September 9th, this day is the war history class, and it is also the class that Zhang Cai thinks is the most useless, just like the name of the class, it tells about the battles that happened before.But what's the use?Regardless of other things, just referring to the wars of more than a thousand years ago and the wars in the early days of the ancient empire, how is it similar to the present?Today's soldiers wear strong and sharp armor, armors are often made of thousands of armor leaves, and weapons are often made of steel knives; in the early days of the ancient empire, the armor was made of animal skins, and the blades were stone sticks. The fate of a country.Is it like wearing children's clothes for a strong man in the past?
What's more, across thousands of years and hundreds of years, can a single page or a few lines of text recorded in a book explain a life-and-death battle?You have a limit to your jokes!What's more, for example, when talking about the history of Ji Ziyang's battle, the teacher himself can make himself dizzy, so it's better to listen to Tan Yang pretending to be coercive for a while.

Of course, the Zhagu Empire has clear battle examples to talk about, such as the unification battle of Emperor Taizu Wu Zhao Bin, and the forest cutting battle of Zhang Caiyi's father, Qi Qi, but there are very few to talk about.The battle of unification happened hundreds of years ago, how many generations have passed; not to mention Qi Qi's deforestation battle, the old man himself admitted before his death that on land, he relied on building villages and felling trees, and on sea, he relied on big ships to beat small boats, and there were many boats. There are few ships, and the national strength is completely crushed.

What should be taught is the northern battle, because the main enemies of the Zhagu army are the gold and iron men.But then again, the imperial army's winning rate against the golden man and the iron man is almost one-tenth, and most of them are filled by human lives.

However, there are also smooth and successful battles, such as Tong Guan during the reign of Fengcheng Zhangwu, Liu Fa went north to meet the leader of the Hebu, the current Imperial General Zhenyuan, and the Grassland Army Jiedu Envoy Yelitu Gona, the two sides joined forces, The superiority in military strength defeated His Majesty Borjijin Tulun, Khan of the Iron Man Empire, in a disastrous defeat.

So, what are you talking about?
Zhang Cai also thought that winning a battle by relying on the superiority of troops plus the superiority of arms is not a skill, and it is even more embarrassing to lose!

Of course, anything that cannot be judged by Zhang Cai's judgment, based on her standards, at least from the Taizu Wu Emperor Zhao Bin to the present, there are a lot of wine bags and rice bags, and there are only a handful of people who have some skills.

The class started at 8 o'clock in the morning. I listened to the teacher's nonsense in the classroom for more than an hour. There was nothing useful in my mouth. Zhang Cai didn't want to waste it.

It's a pity that Zhu Wu and the others were fascinated by what they heard, and Zhang Cai couldn't bear to delay the "good student", so he had to slip away without saying hello.

When I got back to dormitory 146 and hadn't opened the door, I saw three people in dormitory 144 next door were about to go out.

"Oh? Isn't this Zhang Cai? Why don't you go to class? Are you absent from class?"

Zhang Cai said unhappily: "Did you guys know the content of this class a long time ago, so you didn't go on purpose? Well, you didn't remind me, it's a waste of time!"

Tan Yang came out and said, "As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. If you don't see it with your own eyes, how can we tell you? What if we are lying to you."

Zhang Cai was too lazy to talk about this topic: "It's almost 10 o'clock, you all go out together at this time, where are you going to play? Take me one!"

"When we go to Shifangyuan, it's not considered a game, so do you want to go together?" Tan Yang reminded, "If someone sees you gossiping, don't blame us, classmate Zhang."

"Let's gossip, anyway, I've been gossiped and scolded behind my back a lot, it's okay, I'm used to it." Zhang Cai said indifferently.

"Okay, Zhang, please come with us."

He closed his mouth and walked towards the port.

Zhang Cai followed Tan Yang and the others to the port to board the boat. Thanks to the water network transportation extending in all directions in the imperial capital, the four of them sat from Xicheng District to Beicheng District. On a wilderness in the northwest.

"It's so desolate here." Zhang Cai sighed.

"This is Shifangyuan." Tan Yang introduced, "This wilderness is very vast. The southeast is the Imperial Capital, and the north continues to Qingshiling and Yima Pass. It has a radius of thousands of miles, except for the city and the river bank. Outside of life, most of them are wilderness, which is the best place for the people of the imperial capital to practice equestrian riding and archery."

Zhang Cai raised his eyes and looked, what a wilderness!As far as the eye can see, there is not a piece of farmland, a manor, or a family!The weeds are growing as high as the calf, all kinds of bugs and hares keep popping up on the soil, and occasionally a few small streams dot the wilderness.

"It's a pity that so much land is empty for thousands of miles. Why not cultivate it? Whether it's farmland or pastures, how can this piece of land house hundreds of thousands of households? Why waste it?" Zhang Cai didn't understand.

Tan Yang said along the way: "It's a pity, but you're thinking too simply! The imperial capital must focus on the overall situation. There is not a single tree on the ten square plains. If the iron man breaks the side wall and invades the imperial capital, there will be people around Fengtian, martial arts, Yongshou and other cities can be integrated with the imperial capital, with strong walls and clear fields to resist, and wait for the troops of King Qin to come to help. Similarly, as you can see, there is nothing on the Shifang Plain, and if iron men are besieging the city, the food and grass will not last long."

Although Zhang Cai nodded in agreement, he still felt it was a waste.

"Hey, the empire is short of land. It's an iron man again. Now the land of Hetao is in the empire. It's like two people fighting each other and the other holding a sword. However, the offensive and defensive momentum has not changed. The court officials and generals will only increase the laughter."

Just as Tan Yang was about to say something, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind him. He took a closer look and saw that it was Lin Yang and Ye Lixiao who were riding a horse and leading a group of horses, coming slowly.

"Boda, this is your mount." Lin Yang rode the famous "Chasing Wind Black Wanli Dragon Horse" under his crotch, and handed the reins to Tan Yang.

Chasing the wind is a black Wanli dragon colt, black all over, tall and strong, always has a restless mood, as if born to be bloodthirsty on the battlefield!It is said that the chasing wind black Wanli dragon colt has the blood of Tianma. It was found when Lin Yang was young, and after three days and three nights of taming, he became Lin Yang's mount and will always recognize Lin Yang as his master.

Lin Yang claims that the black dragon and horse that chases the wind can travel [-] miles a day and [-] miles at night.

Ye Lixiao's horse beside him is no longer a famous horse, but it is a good horse from the foot of Yinshan Mountain, which is very strong.

Ye Lixiao said, "Zhang Cai, this is your mount."

After all, the reins are about to be sent to Zhang Cai.

Zhang Cai quickly said: "Thank you Huang Mao for your kindness, but my adoptive father never taught me."

"Then I'll teach you!" After speaking, Ye Lixiao enthusiastically helped Zhang Cai onto the horse.

"Sit well, step on the horse stool, hold the rein tightly, pull left to left, pull right to right, stop and rein in the rein, and after running, you must sit still and keep the same breath as the horse! Do that!"

For the rest of the time, Ye Lixiao began to teach Zhang Cai how to ride a horse.

After riding back to the dormitory for the first time, Zhang Cai felt a raw pain in his crotch, jolting back and forth on the horse's back as if it was about to break.Fortunately, Zhang Cai was a hunter when he was a child, and he practiced martial arts all day long when he grew up. It was extremely hard, invincible, and indestructible. After riding a horse, it was intact and there was no blood.
