Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 324 Sun Xiangfu's New Idea

It is an honor for this group of medical students to learn the unique skill of wound suture in the first class. Although they only observe it from a distance, it also gives them a new understanding of medicine.

Moreover, the medical school is not only a medical teaching institution, but also the largest hospital in Shanyang. These wounded soldiers will be arranged to live in the ward built on the left side of the school. They explain how to do follow-up medical treatment, that is to say, these wounded soldiers will become the first batch of examples for clinical teaching.

Sun Xiangfu was very happy when he learned that the number of adult physicians who passed the basic medical examination was as high as 820.

These adult physicians already have a strong medical foundation and have been practicing medicine all over the country. It will take less time and cost to teach them. Perhaps it will only take one or two years. Most of them can graduate and return to the local area to practice medicine. Hospitals even have the strength to stay and teach in medical schools.

After instructing Li Chunfeng to assist Sun Simiao in the management and teaching affairs of the medical school, Sun Xiangfu hurried back to the yamen of the Governor's Mansion. He had already received the report and chased those ambush soldiers back to the city. It seemed that he had not gained much. At this time, Li Shimin may have discussed with the ministers how to deal with this matter.

Above the yamen hall, Li Jing and other great generals were present, but among the civil servants, only Fang Xuanling was there. After Sun Xiangfu and Li Shimin greeted each other, he asked, "Your Majesty, according to the return of Mr. Xi's purchase, these people, although they are Dressed like a Goguryeo, but not a Goguryeo, what are you going to do with it?"

"Hehe, now, they are not from Goguryeo, but also from Goguryeo. I have already ordered that all the people captured by Xi Junmai be beheaded, and they are not allowed to leak any news." Li Shimin said with an incomprehensible smile.

But Sun Xiangfu quickly understood what he meant, and said, "Does Your Majesty want to prove that Goguryeo intended to assassinate Shi Wei Mohe and other tribal leaders, and force these tribes to join us in Datang?"

"This is Fang Qing's plan."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu bowed his hands to Fang Xuanling and praised, "President Fang has a high plan."

Fang Xuanling waved his hands and said humbly, "It's a mere plan, it's not worth mentioning, but whether it will be successful in the end depends on how well the military parade will be held tomorrow. In the future, you will also need to work hard from the Anbei Metropolitan Guard. "

"Exercise?"

Li Shimin looked at Sun Xiangfu's expression, smiled again, "Hehe, the money issue is nothing more than a trivial matter to you!"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu said a little depressed, "Well, things involving money are actually not trivial matters. You are not asking the Anbei Metropolitan Government to contribute funds to support Shiwei Mohe and other ministries to start a war against Goguryeo! "

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It's not necessary to start a war. Since we know that Goguryeo is going to be in chaos, we can't just take advantage of the Tang family, and let Shiwei and Mohe and other ministries take advantage together."

I have to say that the idea of ​​Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling is very good. If the Shiwei and Mohe tribes defected to Datang later, they would take advantage of it, that is, Datang would take advantage of it. Let Goguryeo be weaker, so that, at most one or two years, the conditions for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo will be ripe.

However, things are not necessarily that simple. Sun Xiangfu pondered in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, although this plan is good, it needs to be supplemented. The reason why Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo failed was not only because of how powerful Goguryeo's military is. , also because they have Silla, Baekje, Buyeo and other countries as their allies. When they fight, the battlefield will often bloom in all directions, and even spread to my Tang Dynasty. If your majesty wants to conquer Goguryeo, you have to cut off its vines Get ready."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, what you said is indeed reasonable. The pharmacist also suggested to me just now that if the problems of Silla, Baekje, and Fuyu are not properly handled, the war with Goguryeo should not be lightly started.

Therefore, I want to send Liu Hongji and Zhang Liang to lead both land and sea armies to the border of Shandong to build fortifications. Once I launch, they will march into Silla, Baekje and other countries to restrain them and prevent them from helping Goguryeo. "

"Your Majesty thinks about it. However, from the fact that Wang Hao can easily organize more than [-] cavalry to attack the leaders of the various ministries in the border of the Anbei Dadu Protectorate, it can be seen that some of the shortcomings of our Northland, or the Central Plains area s difference.

The area here is too wide, the population and cities are not dense, and it is too difficult to achieve comprehensive defense.

Therefore, before the satellite cities around Shanyang are developed, Shanyang is not considered stable, and it is not suitable to start a war.

Because the enemy only needs to mobilize a few thousand troops to launch a surprise attack on Shanyang. It may not hit the city, but it will definitely have a huge impact on the surrounding industries and destroy Shanyang's economic construction.

Therefore, I believe that the time to launch a war against Goguryeo should be two years later, or even three years later. "

The lands of several countries in the east were ruled by prefectures and counties during the Han Dynasty.And Yang Guang made great efforts to conquer Goguryeo, except because they offended the border and were disrespectful to the Sui Dynasty, he might not have the intention of losing ground and making meritorious deeds.

Li Shimin is not much better than Yang Guang. He is also eager to make meritorious deeds to cover up some negative effects of his improper position, but he has learned some lessons from Yang Guang. Under Sun Xiangfu's persuasion, he feels even more, It's better to act safely, so, nodded and said, "Zhengming's words are reasonable, and we still have to take things step by step with regard to Goguryeo. Tomorrow's military parade is the first step. You can discuss it. How can I get the most out of it…”

Sun Xiangfu felt much more at ease when the topic was decided, and instead of going to war right away, as for Li Shimin's maximization of effect, in fact, after he received the letter about holding a military parade, he had been preparing for it. , Sun Xiangfu, who watches a military parade on TV every few years, how could he not know how to make a ceremony look good!

Su Dingfang has not shown up for the past few days, just preparing for what Sun Xiangfu told him, especially after the musicians Sun Xiangfu borrowed from Li Chengqian's Prince Liu led the guards to join, the whole scene has more than doubled, which is Thousands of musicians, although their identities are now the prince's six soldiers, but serving as soldiers in Li Chengqian's East Palace, learning one or two musical instruments and singing a few songs are almost necessary skills.

At night, Sun Xiangfu ended the discussion that lasted for more than two hours, and rode to the gate of the north city. At this moment, Su Dingfang, his generals, and some civilian husbands were busy.

Looking at the stars all over the sky, Sun Xiangfu was in a good mood immediately. There will be good weather tomorrow, so the scene will not be too bad.

"General Su, how are your preparations going?"

"Please rest assured, Commander. Before dawn tomorrow, all the stands will be set up, and the positions of the musicians have been arranged. When the performance starts, the people in the stands will definitely be shocked."

The so-called stands are stair sills built with rammed hard soil. The first row is protected by wooden fences, and the last row has bamboo frames as guardrails.

At that time, the common people can stand on this multi-layered ladder hundreds of meters long, divided into heights and short ones, and watch the emperor on the city wall and the emperors passing by on the road separated by the city wall with a width of more than ten feet. Soldier.

In order to let the people in the stands feel the mighty momentum of a strong army, Sun Xiangfu ordered people to set up hundreds of big drums around the stands. The hearts of the people beat to the rhythm of the drums.

The drummers in the Tang Army are not unfamiliar with the tune of "A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening". Sun Xiangfu compiled it into a concerto of various music, and after adding some loud roars from the sergeants to set off the atmosphere, ordinary people with strong momentum will Can't resist, tomorrow morning, this performance with drum as the main instrument will be the opening song of the military parade.

In order to demonstrate the military power of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Xiangfu also decided to pull out all the treasures he used to defend Shanyang. In the armory of the Anbei Army, those new-style ordnance made by major workshops have also arrived. It's time to show, who said that this military parade has the political task of forcing Shiwei, Mohe and other ministries to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!

Therefore, in tomorrow's military parade, in addition to the part where the troops are inspected, there will also be a martial arts performance. Su Dingfang has prepared a lot of things such as many targets and straw figures.

Sun Xiangfu came to the barracks after inspecting all aspects, and after confirming everything was correct, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Dugu Mou and other generals of the guards were also busy arranging arrangements.

Since he came to Shanyang this time on a long journey, the [-] soldiers and horses brought by Li Shimin were all cavalry, plus almost [-] cavalry from Shanyang, and [-] cavalry from Cheng Yaojin in the west. The number of cavalry has exceeded [-], which is several times stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty in this period of history.

The cavalry is usually the most elite warrior among the guards, and those who can be selected and brought to Shanyang are the best of the best. Therefore, Sun Xiangfu is not worried about their mental outlook. No more.

Several generals held a meeting overnight to explain, mainly because there was no rehearsal for this military parade, and there was also a martial arts session. They were afraid of mistakes and omissions, so they needed to be repeatedly instructed in the preset session.

Sun Xiangfu's Anbei Army was stationed outside the city. He came to the camp in the city, but he was actually here to sleep, but was arrested by Qin Qiong, who was dismissed from the meeting. Due to his health, Li Shimin hadn't let him go to the battlefield for several years. Then, Zuo Wuwei basically followed him to relax. After Feng Zhidai became General Zuo Wuwei, he helped Qin Qiong manage the daily training. He never dared to relax for a moment. In vain.

The generals under each general have the need to make contributions, get promoted and make a fortune. When they get together, they will often talk about asking for war. Qin Qiong himself is a militant, so naturally he doesn't want to stay so idle forever Therefore, he wanted to give Li Shimin a bright spot in this military parade, so that he would click Zuo Wuwei to go out next time there is a war.

As long as Qin Qiong said the beginning, Sun Xiangfu actually knew what he meant. Datang's martial arts were very strong. If these soldiers were not allowed to fight, they would cut off their room for promotion. This is indeed a problem.

Sun Xiangfu, who came from later generations, knows how important it is for a country to maintain the military's combat power.Big fists are the last word!If you want the surrounding countries to listen to you and keep the military first, it is an essential element.

But maintaining military priority does not mean constant fighting. Although fighting is indeed the best way to train troops, the current population base of Datang is too small to support this method of training troops.

Moreover, what Sun Xiangfu himself advocates is to develop the economy and absorb and integrate neighboring countries by non-war means.

So, right now, he has to find something for the generals to do, preferably a project that allows them to maintain their combat power, show their face, get promoted and make a fortune.

Sun Xiangfu, who was thinking hard, suddenly remembered that when he was inspecting the venue just now, he saw those stands, which was too much like some kind of grand event in later generations.

That's right, the sports meeting.

Now that everyone has gathered in Shanyang, and the location and weather conditions of Shanyang allow it, why not hold a martial arts tournament of the Tang Dynasty in Shanyang!How much this attracts the attention of people all over the country!Moreover, it can properly create economic benefits for Shanyang!

The most important thing is that this kind of competition can greatly stimulate the training enthusiasm of the soldiers of the guards, because as long as you can shoot bows and arrows well, ride horses well, use bed crossbows well, practice boxing skills well, and practice horse fighting skills well Well, wait, wait, etc., it is possible to get a chance to become famous and attract the attention of the world. If you add a huge bonus, I believe this grand event will definitely be more exciting than scholars encountering imperial examinations.
