Start having a baby!I dressed as the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Chapter 78 Chapter 76
"Let's go to Yangling first. Wei Qing, let the eunuch drive the car!"
Seeing Wei Wan holding the reins and whip, Wang Yan said politely.
Wei Wan is an old driver. He was born as a coachman of Emperor Wen.Now that she came to drive for Wang Zhi's mother and son, she felt a little embarrassed.
"The old minister hasn't played a car for a long time!" Wei Wan laughed.
Sure enough, it is an old-fashioned style, and Wang Zhi was greatly amazed by his unwavering speed when encountering difficulties and galloping like the wind.A person who does one thing to the extreme is a talent!
What made Wang Zhi even more impressed was that Wei Wan didn't speak much, but every sentence was just right.His eyes are calm and humble, and when he looks at Liu Xiaozhu, he is loving and respectful, joyful and painful, which is the generosity and sincerity of an elder.
He didn't have the so-called arrogance and coldness, nor did he have exaggerated flattery, let alone greasy flattery.You can ignore him, he doesn't deliberately make you notice him; but you can't ignore him, his care and care are everywhere.Such a kind-hearted person is like warm boiled water, neither dry nor cold, moisturizing things silently, and ironing is pleasant.
No wonder the two emperors Wen and Jing admired this man, he has a unique personality charm.This also made Wang Zhi feel good about Liu Xiaozhu, the master, and felt ashamed of the previous "car driver" prejudice.
The big families of "Zi", "Li", "Zhu", "Ye", and "Ji" who migrated to Yangling City presented the umbrella of the people to the emperor, and let Wang Zhi know the intention of these people to cling to the powerful, so he asked Yao Weng to come Staying here for a long time buys people's hearts.
"Your Majesty, do you know the identity of the leader of the Li Family?" Yao Weng asked Wang Yan mysteriously.
"But the leader of the Li family who proposed to offer the umbrella of the people to the emperor?" Wang Zhi said, "I only know that they moved from Changsha, but I don't know what their identity is."
"Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tomb, can the descendants of your empress visit it?"
"Yao Weng is saying that the female corpse in the Hunan Museum has not rotted for a thousand years..." Wang Zhi was surprised, "The prime minister of Changsha killed Hou Li Cang after that?!"
"Yes!" Yao Weng was also very excited, "The non-rotten female corpse is Xin Zhui, Mrs. Li Cang! The future generations of the empress are not masters of pharmacy, don't you want to know the mystery of the non-rotten female corpse?"
Wang Zhi shook her head, "What's the use of not being rotten? Modern people's embalming technology is powerful enough, but they are all cremated after death..." She sighed, "The ancients would believe in immortality. It's just for the descendants of Cang, How did you become a relocated tycoon?"
"Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, has no heirs after five generations, so the country will be expelled naturally. Liu Fa, the sixth prince, was named the king of Changsha by Emperor Jing. The Li family originally belonged to Wu Rui's family, and has no close relationship with the royal family..." Yao Weng nodded and stroked. Xu, "Li Cang is the first generation of Marquis, Li Xi is the second generation, and this is the third generation Li Pengzu. According to historical data, he entered Beijing as an official, so he moved to Yangling!"
"Why is Yao Weng so interested in this person?" Wang Zhi was a little puzzled.
"Why was Li Cang named Marquis? It was because he killed Yingbo! Huainan Wang Yingbu is the son-in-law of Changsha Wang Wu Rui. Liu Bang cut off the princes with different surnames. Yingbo rebelled and fled to Changsha. He was sent by Changsha Wang Wuchen as prime minister." Li Cang and Wu Rui's youngest sons, Wu Qian and Wu Yang, jointly killed them. Afterwards, the three became Marquises. Therefore, Changsha Kingdom expressed its loyalty to the Liu regime and was preserved, becoming the only surviving prince with a different surname." Yao Weng said.
"So Li Pengzu deliberately expressed his loyalty to the royal family? Wanminsan has already prepared for it." Wang Yan smiled, "Is this person reliable? What ability does he have?"
"The father of Li Pengzu, the second generation Marquis Li Xi, was erudite and talented. He was a senior general in the Changsha Kingdom who guarded southern Xinjiang and conquered South Vietnam. He was proficient in astronomy, calendar, geography and medicine. He also loved music. .As a senior general of the Changsha Kingdom, Li Xi has profound attainments in astronomy and geography."
"The former Qin Nanhai County Governor Zhao Tuo declared independence, annexed Guilin and Xiangjun, took Panyu as the capital, established the Nanyue Kingdom, and separated one side. He once sent troops to attack Changsha Kingdom. The two armies clashed year after year. The cruel war caused heavy casualties on both sides. As the military attache of the Changsha Kingdom, Xi was unfortunately killed in battle with the South Vietnamese army."
Yao Weng said in admiration: "Li Xi was only 30 years old when he died in battle. His son Li Pengzu, I don't know if his father is talented or not."
"Yao Weng means that if Li Pengzu has his father's inheritance, he can lead troops as a general?" Wang Zhi asked.
"Your Majesty, let's review the situation after the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion was changed by you." Yao Weng said, "Chao Cuo and Yuan An are both dead. Chao Cuo was not cut in half by Emperor Jing, but died by the sword of King Liang's assassin. It seems that the ending of Chao Cuo's abnormal death has not changed. What has changed is your husband Liu Qi, who has not had the infamy of beheading his mentor."
"The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms turned into a rebellion of the Wu Kingdom. All the vassal states were cut down by Liu Qi during the sacrifice of gold. With national power, financial power and combat power, you can fight the Xiongnu! Winning talented people as generals, expanding the territory, is just around the corner!"
"The Xiongnu invaded the border frequently, and the Bank of China said that this big traitor was plotting behind the scenes, and it became more and more difficult to deal with." Wang Zhi thought about it and said, "To fight against the outside world or to secure the inside? Fight against the outside world, ordering the princes to send troops is also to weaken them Strength...Sometimes, war is about gathering centripetal force. The U.S. imperialism is good at playing this game. When domestic conflicts cannot be reconciled, they will provoke wars abroad.”
"Emperor Wen had a very clear understanding of the Xiongnu issue. First, the Han region was not familiar with the grasslands and deserts, and did not understand the Xiongnu's way of life and warfare. The land lacks enough horses and cavalry, and cannot establish a military force suitable for the Xiongnu environment to complete the military task of attacking the Xiongnu.”
"In order to solve these problems, Emperor Wen and Jing took the measures to implement the horse restoration order. By encouraging private horse breeding, a strong animal husbandry industry was established and a material foundation was accumulated." As he spoke, Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Many of these strategies are Jia Yi and Chao Cuo's suggestion to the emperor. Unfortunately, both of them passed away early!"
When he was still the vassal king of Daiguo, King Youxian of the Huns invaded, and once broke through the poor Daiguo of Emperor Wen.Emperor Wen became the emperor, and named the third prince Liu Can as the king of Taiyuan, inheriting his own poor country.Later, he moved Liu Can as the king of Dai, merging the rich and the poor.Liu Shen's Dai State has 84 counties, the largest in the world.
Emperor Wen gave Daiguo various conveniences, and adopted Chao Cuo's method of building frontier construction corps strongholds. On the border of Daiguo, thousands of households were used as a stronghold. The imperial court provided farm tools, food and weapons, which was actually a new county seat.It is to deal with the Xiongnu on behalf of the country, and push the Han civilization out of Hebei and onto the grassland step by step.
Although it is not as rich as the North China Plain and Huaibei Plain, the land of Dai State belongs to the Loess Plateau, and the output of sorghum and millet is not low.Compared with the frequent floods in the Yellow River and Huaihe River, the Taiyuan Basin in Dai Kingdom can be called the Land of Abundance.
The breeding industry in Dai State is more developed, with more military horses, farm cattle, donkeys and mules.Adopt Chao Cuo's suggestion to build a racecourse in Dai State.Daiguo Racecourse provided Wen Jingchao with hundreds of thousands of war horses.
Still adopt Chao Cuo's suggestion, buy the surrounding small tribes, and use the barbarians to control the barbarians.The country is a mixed generation of Hu and Han, and the folk customs are open.The fertility rate is higher than that of Quanhan.The growth of the population is accompanied by the strengthening of the national power. The Daidi soldiers are known for their bravery and skill in combat.
"Chao Cuo's "Words on Soldiers", "Guarding the Frontiers and Encouraging Farmers", and "Recruiting the People's Facts", my palace asked Cheer to recite and write his own opinions. It has been in operation for many years, and now it is time to see it with your own eyes. How is the implementation of Daiguo!"
As Wang Zhi spoke, he thought of Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu again: "I asked Wei Qihou and Tiaohou to visit Yao Weng, what was the result?"
"The old man only gave them one sentence: Be loyal to the young master, achieve supremacy, and achieve great fame!"
Wang Zhi nodded: "Che'er really needs the help of these two people! I also hope that these two people have a good death!"
He ordered people to call Liu Xiaozhu and Wei Wan, and Wang Yan said that he was going to visit the country.
"Think twice, empress!" Wei Wan bowed, "The trip to Daiguo is nearly a month away. It is the harvest season of millet, and it is also the time when the Huns invaded and plundered south in previous years. There are frequent wars. The crown prince and empress must not put themselves in danger. !"
"Thief!" Liu Xiaozhu said angrily, "I'm going to meet that Hun thief for a while! Kill him and turn him on his back! How can the border people survive for the crown prince!" He clenched the sword in his hand, his face serious, "Mother , let's go to Daiguo!"
Wang Yan looked at Wei Wan, smiled and said to her son, "Che'er, don't be reckless!" She turned her face and told Yao Weng, "Please protect some knights with excellent swordsmanship from my sect. I will take Che'er and Qing'er to disguise themselves as Horse merchant."
Wang Zhi knew that Emperor Jing Liu Qi must have sent someone to follow and protect him secretly.But you need to be prepared for self-protection, and it is also necessary to add a warrior along the way.
"Empress, do you want to inform the acting king Liu Deng?" Seeing that Wang Zhi had made up his mind, Wei Wan stopped dissuading her.
"No need for now. Let me know when you need it." Wang Zhi waved his hand.
Liu Deng was Wang Zhi's second year in the palace, and the original king Liu Shen ascended the throne after his death.As Liu Qi's nephew, he met him twice when he returned to Beijing.
As a powerful country with a strong military against the Xiongnu on the front line, Daiguo was given strong support by Emperor Wen and Jing.
So, such a convoy set off.
A young man with a pockmarked face, with two well-behaved and sensible sons, accompanied by an old housekeeper to take care of them, a carriage carrying people, and a carriage pulling their belongings, went from Liangdi to Daidi to buy and sell horses.
And Ji Xin, Ju Meng, etc., turned into silk merchants, took several carts of silk and satin with people, and went to Daidi to sell them.
"Wang Zhi, why do the barbarians repeatedly harass the border?" Wang Zhi, whose pseudonym was Wang Xin, asked Liu Xiaozhu.
"Hu people don't rely on the land for clothing and food (wear sheepskin and eat animal meat), they move around, and live by water and grass. The winter is frozen and grass and food are hard to come by. They invaded south and hunted behind our frontier fortress, secretly monitoring, and waiting for the number of our defenders. When there are too few, they immediately attack and loot property."
"If the Han court does not send troops to rescue, the border people will be desperate, and they will have a mentality of surrendering when the enemy comes. If they send troops to rescue, small troops will not be enough to resist, and it will be difficult for large troops to gather. After finally arriving, the barbarians left early. The assembled ones If the troops are not demobilized, the cost will be huge and unaffordable. If they are demobilized, the Hu people will enter the fortress again. After a few years, the country’s treasury will be empty, and the people will suffer unspeakably.”
"Sending generals, recruiting soldiers, and building fortresses are all important measures. However, recruiting soldiers to guard the frontiers, demobilization and rotation every other year, come and go in a hurry, and it is impossible to have a deep understanding of the Xiongnu Khanate."
"Chao Shi suggested: Encourage immigrants to settle in frontier fortresses, start a family and start a business, buy fields and land, and make long-term plans to make them familiar with the enemy's situation as a precaution. Then, according to the geographical situation, build tall castles at key points and river crossings. Deepen the trenches on the periphery. The number of households in each city should be more than a thousand. The government will first build houses in the city, prepare farming tools, and then encourage immigrants to farm. Those who are guilty will be forgiven, and those who are not guilty will be given officials and titles, and all taxes will be exempted. Winter and summer clothes will be issued. , food, until they are self-sufficient.”
"Building castles on the border, defending against enemies, and immigrants have military formations. Five families form a team, and every five has a team leader. Ten teams form a mile, and there is a mile leader (fake soldiers). Four miles form a company, and even There are neighbor chiefs (false five hundred). Ten links form a village (eup), and the village has a village head (vacation), who is selected by the villagers who are talented and have the ability to protect the villagers, are familiar with the geographical situation, and have a deep understanding of the wishes of the people. "
"Usually train the villagers to ride horses and archery, and lead the militia to confront the enemy in wartime. Soldiers are well-trained in peacetime and can serve in wartime. When we were young, we were all playmates and played games together. When we grew up, we worked together again. When fighting at night, when you hear the sound, you will know who it is, and you can rescue each other. When fighting during the day, everyone can see it and have their own emotional support. Friendship, we hope to live and die together.”
"The militia," Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "the people are the people in busy farming, and they are the soldiers in wartime. They are self-sufficient by farming the fields!"
Now we have to see what happens to these construction corps that farm the fields.
"Daddy, Daddy, can Qing'er learn how to ride a horse here?" Zhi Qing asked Wang Zhi with a smile. She was dressed as a boy, and she was the eldest son of businessman Wang Xin.
Wang Zhi nodded: "There is a docile pony for the two of you to practice."
"I also want to learn how to ride a horse!" Liu Xiaozhu cried, "Father..." He covered his mouth and stopped immediately, "Daddy gave me a pony, it has grown up before I have practiced it!"
"Then let's learn together!" Zhi Qing and Liu Xiaozhu hugged each other, and the two little guys laughed happily.
"Riding a horse is difficult, but it's also easy," Wei Wan said with a smile. "The Huns grew up on horseback. They don't need any protective gear, and their bodies are flexible enough to be stable. But we Han people, If you don’t practice for a long time, you won’t be able to stabilize your figure on horseback. So I, a big man, can only defend our strongholds to resist the Huns’ attack. Sun Tzu’s Art of War says, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.”
"The Xiongnu's geographical situation and fighting methods are different from ours in the Central Plains. The horses in the Central Plains are not as good as the Xiongnu when they climb mountains and rivers and jump across rivers. The horses in the Central Plains are not as good as the Huns. The dangerous roads, galloping and shooting arrows at the same time, the cavalry in the Central Plains are not as good as the Xiongnu. The storms, the hunger and the enduring Thirst, hard fighting, the Central Plains troops are not as good as the Xiongnu. These are all the advantages of the Xiongnu."
"But on the plains, chariots raid and cavalry attack at gallops. No matter how many Huns there are, they can destroy them. Strong bows and long spears can cause damage from a long distance, and the Huns' bow and arrow troops can't resist. My soldiers are wearing solid armor. , using various weapons, fighting hand to hand, with cavalry sweeping the formation, warriors in groups of five and ten, advancing together and retreating together, the main force of the Huns cannot resist. The Xiongnu's armor made of animal skin and wood as a shield cannot resist it. Dismounting on foot, fighting with swords, spears and halberds, charging with short soldiers, and fighting physically, the Huns' infantry cannot resist. This is the advantage of our Han soldiers."
It's rare to see Wei Wan talk so much, but analyze it in detail.
"Great, old man Wei!" Wang Zhi praised.
Just as she was about to ask Wei Wan what to do, the speeding carriage was stopped by someone, and Wei Wan hurriedly reined in the reins.The two horses raised their hooves and nearly overturned the car!
Seeing Wei Wan holding the reins and whip, Wang Yan said politely.
Wei Wan is an old driver. He was born as a coachman of Emperor Wen.Now that she came to drive for Wang Zhi's mother and son, she felt a little embarrassed.
"The old minister hasn't played a car for a long time!" Wei Wan laughed.
Sure enough, it is an old-fashioned style, and Wang Zhi was greatly amazed by his unwavering speed when encountering difficulties and galloping like the wind.A person who does one thing to the extreme is a talent!
What made Wang Zhi even more impressed was that Wei Wan didn't speak much, but every sentence was just right.His eyes are calm and humble, and when he looks at Liu Xiaozhu, he is loving and respectful, joyful and painful, which is the generosity and sincerity of an elder.
He didn't have the so-called arrogance and coldness, nor did he have exaggerated flattery, let alone greasy flattery.You can ignore him, he doesn't deliberately make you notice him; but you can't ignore him, his care and care are everywhere.Such a kind-hearted person is like warm boiled water, neither dry nor cold, moisturizing things silently, and ironing is pleasant.
No wonder the two emperors Wen and Jing admired this man, he has a unique personality charm.This also made Wang Zhi feel good about Liu Xiaozhu, the master, and felt ashamed of the previous "car driver" prejudice.
The big families of "Zi", "Li", "Zhu", "Ye", and "Ji" who migrated to Yangling City presented the umbrella of the people to the emperor, and let Wang Zhi know the intention of these people to cling to the powerful, so he asked Yao Weng to come Staying here for a long time buys people's hearts.
"Your Majesty, do you know the identity of the leader of the Li Family?" Yao Weng asked Wang Yan mysteriously.
"But the leader of the Li family who proposed to offer the umbrella of the people to the emperor?" Wang Zhi said, "I only know that they moved from Changsha, but I don't know what their identity is."
"Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tomb, can the descendants of your empress visit it?"
"Yao Weng is saying that the female corpse in the Hunan Museum has not rotted for a thousand years..." Wang Zhi was surprised, "The prime minister of Changsha killed Hou Li Cang after that?!"

"Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, has no heirs after five generations, so the country will be expelled naturally. Liu Fa, the sixth prince, was named the king of Changsha by Emperor Jing.

"The Xiongnu's geographical situation and fighting methods are different from ours in the Central Plains. The horses in the Central Plains are not as good as the Xiongnu when they climb mountains and rivers and jump across rivers. The horses in the Central Plains are not as good as the Huns. The dangerous roads, galloping and shooting arrows at the same time, the cavalry in the Central Plains are not as good as the Xiongnu. The storms, the hunger and the enduring Thirst, hard fighting, the Central Plains troops are not as good as the Xiongnu. These are all the advantages of the Xiongnu."
"But on the plains, chariots raid and cavalry attack at gallops. No matter how many Huns there are, they can destroy them. Strong bows and long spears can cause damage from a long distance, and the Huns' bow and arrow troops can't resist. My soldiers are wearing solid armor. , using various weapons, fighting hand to hand, with cavalry sweeping the formation, warriors in groups of five and ten, advancing together and retreating together, the main force of the Huns cannot resist. The Xiongnu's armor made of animal skin and wood as a shield cannot resist it. Dismounting on foot, fighting with swords, spears and halberds, charging with short soldiers, and fighting physically, the Huns' infantry cannot resist. This is the advantage of our Han soldiers."
It's rare to see Wei Wan talk so much, but analyze it in detail.
"Great, old man Wei!" Wang Zhi praised.
Just as she was about to ask Wei Wan what to do, the speeding carriage was stopped by someone, and Wei Wan hurriedly reined in the reins.The two horses raised their hooves and nearly overturned the car!
