As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Secondly, Emperor Guangxing didn't want to expose the new army and new weapons so early. He was looking forward to this new army built with a lot of money, and in his imagination, this army could not only be used as a hole card, but also It can also be used as the prince's team. It is unwise to expose it at this time.

Thirdly, Emperor Guangxing really wanted to see how other armies would actually behave against the enemy. After all, he had been thinking about reforming the military system for a long time.If the combat power is acceptable, then naturally it is not busy to change it, but if it is really beaten to pieces by a few Oirats, then...

Although it is a bit embarrassing, the benefits are not without: this can not only be regarded as a breakthrough in the reform of the military system, but also can take the opportunity to open up the exchange market with the Wala people, so that the court can have an extra income-Emperor Guangxing is not stupid, this The account is still worth it.

If it weren't for the fact that the group of rotten scholars in the court had too much resistance to the mutual market, and I don't know what other interests were involved in it, which caused many people in the court to oppose it, Emperor Guangxing would have been restrained and unable to do anything, but in the end it is necessary to record this account up...

Closer to home, when Emperor Guangxing asked who would be able to play, all three people present realized: this time, it didn't take a lot of money.

I have to say that after hearing the words, Huai'an Burton immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he is only a son like Huamanlou. If he accidentally hits a arrow or something after playing, it will be really terrible...

But Xu Dacheng couldn't help but flatten his mouth a little - this guy really wanted to push Huamanlou out to die.

Changgong Xu didn't know how powerful Pudu was, nor did he know what Huamanlou was up to, but it didn't matter. After all, the prairie people had been Zhao's confidant for so many years, and this had something to do with their riding and archery skills.Therefore, in Xu Dacheng's eyes, Hua Manlou is dead if he goes upstairs, and he will be disabled if he doesn't die. How can he compete with him for favor at that time?

I have to say that the disappearance of Pu Zhenghao made Mr. Xu a little dazed...

Therefore, when Xu and Hua were thinking about their plans, Ying Guogong spoke first: "Your Majesty, please take the Shenji Battalion to battle."

As an old father who gets tricked by his daughter from time to time, what else should Ying Guogong do?If you don't copy the knife at this time... copy Pudu, if something happens to your precious girl, how can you blame Uncle Huai'an then?

But Emperor Guangxing shook his head when he heard the words, "There is no need for the Shenji Camp."

Seeing Duke Ying's expression suddenly changed, Emperor Guangxing added: "Don't worry, even if you lose, Ling Ai will be fine, I assure you of this."

Duke Ying opened his mouth, but he didn't refute. He just sighed silently in his heart: Your Majesty really still thinks about reforming...

Sure enough, Emperor Guangxing said again: "How about this, how about the two lovers follow me to the Three Thousand Battalion to have a look? There are so many people, you can always choose some useful ones, right?"

……

only……

Iron-like facts have proved that the Three Thousand Battalion is really useless.

Under the gaze of the expressionless Emperor Guangxing, in the astonished eyes of Ying Guogong and Huai'an Bo, and in the roar of Rong Guogong, hundreds of three thousand battalions of cavalry performed a wonderful show. The contents are:

1: How to collide with your comrades in the charge and end up on your back.

2: How to drop the weapon in your hand after the charge.

3: The probability of breaking your neck after falling from a horse and how to protect it safely.

4: Does it hurt to ride the horse and bump into the scarecrow after running wildly...

That's the same sentence, for the war in the north, there are the Governor of Liaodong, the Governor of Xuanda, etc. Although the capital is known as the emperor guarding the country, the military system is really corrupt...

The country has been in peace for too long, and the soldiers who have reached the capital for a long time are not even like soldiers, but more like a group of farmers.

In Huamanlou's previous life, the Three Thousand Battalion of Daming was dominated by Duoyan Sanwei's cavalry at the beginning, and after Yan Wangjing's disaster, the majority were also northern iron cavalry. These are all troops with great military exploits. What happened?

Although Dazhao did not have the Duoyan Sanwei, the [-] battalion was still a great achievement when he followed the Taizu's conquest, but now the inheritance of sons and fathers has been passed down from generation to generation, and the prevalence of land annexation and "gilding" has made this army that once made the Wala people The suffering cavalry unit has degenerated to the point where a simple cavalry charge cannot be completed.

Rong Guogong, who was clamoring to go to the battlefield more than a month ago, knelt in front of Emperor Guangxing after the show and kowtowed to plead guilty.

Looking at this guy, Ying Guogong couldn't help feeling very grateful: If it wasn't for Hua Manlou's help, he would be the one kneeling here today, right?

But fortunately, fortunately, quarrels in the past are quarrels. At this juncture, we still have to be persuaded, so he pleaded: "Your Majesty, Duke Rong is indeed guilty of the situation of the Three Thousand Battalion, but if you blame everything on him On, it may be... biased."

Emperor Guangxing was neither happy nor sad, he looked expressionlessly at the group of soldiers who were also kneeling on the ground in the distance, and did not speak for a long time.

He knows that the military system is corrupt, and he also knows that the combat power of the three major battalions may be very unsatisfactory. He also knows that Duke Rong cannot be blamed for this matter, but he never thought that the famous three thousand battalions could be so rotten. this level.

Is this still an army?

Emperor Guangxing once wanted to use Shenjiying to operate first, but the appearance of Huamanlou dispelled his idea, so he put aside the issue of restructuring for the time being.After hearing the provocation from the Oirats today, he also thought about what he was going to lose, and how to deal with it after losing.But he didn't figure it out after all the calculations. The group of trash in front of him couldn't compete with the Oirats at all-note, they couldn't even take them out-the plan of losing was thinking that they could at least resist for a while, like that It's fine, but...

Fortunately, this group of people is not even as good as Qi Wanrong's group of female soldiers, at least those female soldiers are quite skilled in riding, aren't they?

When I wanted to change the system, I suffered from no opportunity, but when I didn't want to change the system, things were directly in front of me.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Guangxing turned around and left without saying a word, leaving Duke Rong alone kneeling on the spot tremblingly, not daring to move.

Finally, Xu Dacheng came to pass a sentence: "Your Majesty said: let's go, let's go."

Rong Guogong was terrified immediately: Is it dispersed now, or... completely dispersed the three thousand battalions?

Emperor Guangxing didn't care at all whether there was any problem with his oral order. After he got into the carriage, it didn't take long for someone to send a message to Uncle Huai'an, saying that he was going to visit his house.

Uncle Huai'an didn't know Emperor Guangxing's intentions at all, but he felt his tooth ache: Isn't he going to see his dog when he goes home?

72. Cheap mouth is a disease!

For some reason, Emperor Guangxing when he left the camp was full of the words that Hua Manlou had said: Is my Han Jiaerlang's sword bad, or has he lost his courage?

Although those words were bragging, they were pleasing to the ear and uplifting, as if he could really wipe out the prairie people in sevens and eighties with just a lift of his hand—and more importantly, he really had an effective way to do it. goal achieved.

now……

Well, now Emperor Guangxing doesn't ask Hua Manlou to give him some advice, but asks that the new army can be safer, at least it is an army capable of fighting.After all, the Three Thousand Battalion is really cruel, and Emperor Guangxing's requirements for Huamanlou can be said to be extremely low - as long as he can fight...

In addition, after seeing today's wonderful program, Emperor Guangxing was really not in the mood to deal with state affairs. He wanted to find someone to chat with and relax.And it just so happened that Hua Manlou returned to Beijing, and did a rather long-faced thing, chatting with him and bragging about Emperor Guangxing felt very happy, so who would you look for if you don't look for him?

and so……

When Hua Manlou ran into the front hall to welcome his father back home, he saw Emperor Guangxing and yelled out in horror: "How are you!"

Emperor Guangxing was taken aback for a moment: "Okay, especially... what is it?"

Hua Manlou said in extreme embarrassment: "This... is a sentence in the foreign language that I learned before, which means greetings. The answer is rice, three grams of oil, and Ande oil..."

That's right, it's a greeting, but it's very rude to comment directly, and what Huamanlou means is what it means to comment directly...

Emperor Guangxing smiled and said, "Oh? Are you still interested in Fanbang language?"

For some reason, Emperor Guangxing, who was in a bad mood, felt a little happy when he saw Hua Manlou, and he didn't even think about what was going on.

Hua Manlou was even more embarrassed: "Studying blindly... just blindly, and I don't have much interest in it. The barbarian's language learning is useless, and it's not as profound as our Chinese..."

Uncle Huai'an, who had been struggling all the time, interjected at this time: "You bastard, don't learn what is useful, and prefer these messy things!"

Everyone in the previous life should hear this...

Anyway, Hua Manlou hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "What Dad said is, I won't learn these things if I'm killed in the future."

Fortunately, Emperor Guangxing did not continue to discuss this in depth. He let Hua Manlou sit on his lower seat as usual, and then asked cheerfully: "So recently, apart from learning a few barbarian words, you have also learned some things. What?"

Hua Manlou didn't know what kind of hole this Uncle Zhao was going to dig, so he quickly sat upright and said with a serious face: "How can I have time to learn more? The new army needs to practice, and new firearms need to be developed. Recently, it can be said that I have been working hard and thinking hard, and I dare not slack off at all. , I work at sunrise, and I don’t stop at sunset. Didn’t you see that I have lost weight? Xishan is suffering. When I first went there, I didn’t have anything. I had to do everything myself. Even the house I live in now is mine. Covered by hand..."

It has to be said that Huamanlou didn't mean to claim credit, but just wanted to divert Emperor Guangxing's attention as soon as possible, so he couldn't help exaggerating in his words, saying that Xishan opened a mine to train a new army, just like digging potatoes in Siberia, but Emperor Guangxing couldn't help sighing after hearing this: "Thank you for your hard work. If the officials of the imperial court are as down-to-earth as you, how can your majesty have so many troubles?"

He had just been tortured by Sanqianying, but now he saw that Guochao still had such an outstanding young man, so Emperor Guangxing's favorability for Huamanlou rose again...

Hua Manlou didn't know this, so he asked casually: "Now is the time of prosperity, the mountains and rivers are clearing up day by day, the world is leveling up, and Your Majesty is at the peak of spring and autumn, why are there still troubles?"

It has to be said that Qi Wanrong gave Huamanlou a good head start, and now he will give the emperor a high hat before he learns to speak...

Emperor Guangxing laughed at himself when he heard the words: "If it is true that the mountains, rivers, rivers, mountains, rivers, Japan, and the world are peaceful, why would the Tatars dare to attack us in Datong? And you have seen it today, even the Wala people dared to clamor and leap southward on the Jingshi Street. In the final analysis, is it because Da Zhao is not strong enough, and also a little vain?"

Hua Manlou said disapprovingly: "Hey, this is also a matter? Didn't I tell you earlier, whether it is Tatar or Wala, they are all tribes that live after water and grass, right? They are poor, standing You can hear their commotion on the Great Wall..."

Emperor Guangxing said in astonishment: "Noisy?"

Hua Manlou nodded and said, "Ang, don't you hear their poor jingle? It's still resounding through the sky..."

Emperor Guangxing stared blankly at Huamanlou, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahaha...Zhuzi has no shape, if Tuotuobuhua hears this, wouldn't he want to be with you forever?"

Hua Manlou said innocently: "It's just to be honest. Look, they are poor, right? There is no way to grow food in the desert, and if their population increases a little, they have to continue to expand for food, and they have to go south to plunder. Yes, but to fight for survival. Think about it, if you don’t go south, you will starve to death. If you go south, you might live, or die, and you can still have a good meal before you die. If you, how would you choose?”

Emperor Guangxing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Well, yes, if it were me, I'm afraid I'd have to pick up the knife too... Come and have a good meal."

Hua Manlou continued: "So, if they can eat enough, will they still go south?"

Emperor Guangxing said: "Let so many grassland people have enough to eat? Not to mention it is impossible, after they are full, you can guarantee that they will not go south? Do you know the fighting power of the Mongolian people..."

Hua Manlou said disdainfully: "In front of Purdue, their combat strength is nothing? The new firecrackers and cannons directly abolished the horse-riding and shooting they are proud of. It is a matter of whether they dare to come or not." , let alone fighting? And, if they are full, they will not fight for survival even if they go south, how much combat power will they have by then?"

Emperor Guangxing raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then how do you say they should have enough to eat? You can't let me, Da Zhao, distribute the rations of the people to them?"

Just as Hua Manlou was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something: Has the great voyage started this year?

Ordinarily, if this period corresponds to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that Columbus traveled around the world, even if there is no Columbus in this world, maybe there are brother Lunbu and sister Lunbu... right?

"This...then what, the barbarian who taught me the barbarian language said that in the far west there is something called potatoes and another thing called corn, both of which can replace staple food, and these things don't compete for fertile fields, and the yield per mu...well, a lot... "Hua Manlou said it was extremely difficult.

Emperor Guangxing was shocked: "Don't compete for fertile land? Can it replace the staple food? How much is the yield per mu?"

Hua Manlou's face was full of confusion: "Perhaps the barbarians have blown the sky. He said that the corn weighs more than a thousand catties, while the potatoes... weigh three to five thousand catties?"

He vaguely remembered that the yield of corn per mu was very high. As for potatoes, when the yield was high, it was estimated that it could reach eight thousand catties...

But how could anyone believe this if they hadn't actually seen it these days?So I have to be conservative.

But Emperor Guangxing was breathless when he heard the words: "Three... three to five thousand catties? The staple food?"

Hua Manlou tried to say back: "The words of the barbarians...then what, it may not be credible, and besides, these two things are in the far west overseas..."

Cheeky mouth is a disease!

73. Has this Nizi learned the low-key of the Hua family?

As a liberal arts student, he has also studied some history, especially the history of Ming and Qing Dynasties, so Hua Manlou naturally knows how deeply corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes have influenced the history of the country.

There is a saying that corn and other things promoted the population growth of the Chinese dynasty, rather than the introduction of these things because of the pressure of the population—that is, the population of the Chinese dynasty began to grow further after having these things.And judging from the data, from the beginning of the 16th century to the beginning of the 20th century, 55% of the food increment of the Chinese Dynasty was based on corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the so-called prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong relied on these three treasures. The importance of corn and potatoes as snacks and vegetables.

Putting aside these data research and academic things, sweet potatoes can only be used as supplementary food, but corn and potatoes can be used as staple food, and they can really live on a piece of land, whether it is mountainous or sandy, Mongolia The plateau is still the Loess Plateau, and the output is extremely large...

You know, there is no Mr. Yuan, the god of agriculture, modern irrigation and insect repelling methods, and no greenhouses. It is already a huge achievement for farmers who plan food from the ground to get enough food and clothing all year round, so the yield per mu is three Five thousand catties of potatoes...

How many people are enough to eat?

So after hearing this, Emperor Guangxing was very excited: "Where is that foreigner? You come to him, I... Really, how can you hide such a big matter?"

Hua Manlou immediately wanted to slap himself twice when he heard the words: "I can't find it. I met him in a casino a few years ago. At that time, I thought he was talking nonsense..."

In fact, Emperor Guangxing himself may not necessarily believe in such things, but he is a benevolent and caring emperor, and he is definitely not the kind of person who would not eat meat, so after hearing this, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he would like to Ask clearly, I want to bring in the fetish that Hua Manlou mentioned.

So seeing what Huamanlou said, Emperor Guangxing sighed in disappointment: "You...forget it, you are still young, and you have never suffered the hardships of the common people, so you don't know how important this matter is...Three five A thousand catties of staple food, not to mention three to five thousand catties, but one thousand catties, how many people can live?"

Hua Manlou opened his mouth: No one knows the importance of this matter better than me?But how dare I say it?

Da Zhao and Da Ming are so similar, they are exactly the same even in the phrase 'no voyage to the west'.Although on the surface this thing is an ancestral system, in fact there are many ways in it. Huamanlou people are so light-hearted, how dare they propose to go to the West at this time?

Some words can kill people...

What's more, if you don't say that once or twice, it is estimated that he was really sent to sea by the emperor. The voyage these years is a near death...

But seeing that Emperor Guangxing was so disappointed, Hua Manlou still couldn't bear to add: "Why don't I try to send someone to look for the Fanbang people? Maybe there is such a thing..."

Navigating is impossible, not possible in this life, but to find a few Frenchmen...or Europeans who are advanced in navigation in this world and have already reached the Celestial Dynasty, it is still possible to ask them about the situation, it is best It's Franz's evil colonization that has already begun. In this way, the introduction of corn and potatoes is just a matter of buying some seeds, without involving the voyage to the West or the terrible sea ban.

Compared with the history of the previous life, the group of people from the Iberian Peninsula in the middle of the Ming Dynasty had already arrived in Daming. If the situation in the west of the world is not bad, then there should be a few guys who came to Dazhao to preach in the coastal areas. That's why Hua Manlou dared to say that.

Hearing what Hua Manlou said, Emperor Guangxing could only nod his head and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you. If it can be done, I... really have an output of three to five thousand catties. Expand the territory, and I will recommend you to His Majesty as a marquis at that time!"

Uncle Huai'an, who had been silenced by Emperor Guangxing's eyes for a long time, almost fell off his chair when he heard the words: This is not a recommendation, this is clearly promised by himself, and he is also a fucking double master!It's too dazzling, has this Nizi learned the low-key of the Hua family's ancestors?

But Huamanlou didn't know who was making the promise to him. He was only glad that the damn topic about going to sea was finally over, so he quickly pulled the topic back: "So... I mean, if there are these two things, it won't be a fat field. and plant them on a large scale, and sell them to Tatars in exchange for war horses, cattle and sheep, then Tatars will not be able to beat them, and they will have enough food, right..."

The truth is that it is not a big problem to grow corn and potatoes on the Mongolian plateau, and after the grain production in Hetao and Guanzhong has increased significantly, other things can be given to the grassland people evenly, and open trade for their cattle, sheep and horses.

If you want to be more frenzied, you can buy sheepskins in large quantities, so that people in the grasslands raise more sheep. Sheep are uprooted to eat grass, so in a few years there will be large pieces of desertified land on the grassland, without the richness of water and grass. Isn't that the root of the prairie people?

In addition, after the introduction of potatoes and corn, with enough food, people can gradually relocate and build cities outside the customs. At that time, it will be a situation where Mongolians and Hans live together. However, the Han culture is extensive and profound, and within a few generations, this group of grasslands will be able to The eagles in China have been transformed into the people of Dazhao. When the time comes, they will speak Chinese, use Chinese characters, read the Four Books and Five Classics, and "know the honor and disgrace if you have enough storage." Guess if they will plunder at every turn?

Well, even if the prairie people are full and still want to cross the Great Wall, the powerful firearms can smash their proud riding and shooting into pieces in minutes. It has become a nation capable of singing and dancing... (cough, I just copied book reviews, what's the matter?)

Hua Manlou, who had grown up, naturally couldn't just say half a sentence. After he said the above things to Emperor Guangxing concisely, the latter's eyes on him changed.

If the previous Tweeting Order could bring Dazhao more than ten years of stability, then today's policy can be said to completely quell the threat of nomads to the Han people for thousands of years...

Emperor Guangxing was excited for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh: "If there are really those corns and potatoes..."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Uncle Huai'an filled it in for him in his heart: Then your majesty's merit is comparable to that of Qin Shihuang...

What the emperor pursues, besides immortality, isn't it the posthumous fame?

Emperor Guangxing woke up after being obsessed for a long time. He looked at Huamanlou and said, "The matter of corn and potatoes...you can have some snacks, but this is not the time to talk about it, but...you really feel that firearms It's enough to beat the prairie people to ... heck, can they sing and dance well?"

The so-called greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Emperor Guangxing did not pursue immortality, and he was clearly aware that he should not pin his hopes on the corn and potatoes far away in the sky. There is also a firearm, isn't there?
