Chapter 465: Chinese New Year
Chapter 465: New Year
It was not until night that the streets became lively again. After sleeping for a day, people became energetic again. The first day of the New Year in Bianjing was filled with a terrifying cold air, but it could not stop the enthusiasm of visiting relatives and friends. Fires were rising from the chimneys of every family, and small families welcomed and gave gifts, carrying sweet cakes and sugar to each other to pay New Year's greetings.
When everyone met, they greeted him: "Did you go to the Imperial Dao last night?" It seemed that going to the Imperial Dao to watch the ceremony was an extremely glorious thing, and you have to brag about it.
However, the imperial guards on the street seemed a little listless. Originally, the imperial guards were called powerful troops in the world, and were the elites among the elites of the Song Dynasty. Now, compared with the lieutenants, they are really in the sky and in the ground, and there are many rumors. In short, many people look at them with less awe and more interesting contempt.
However, the people in the Palace Front Office benefited a lot. The lieutenant wore the same clothes as them. When they were wearing these armors, they were inevitably treated with attention. Some even had to come up to chat with each other. However, this made the Palace Front Office feel a little more embarrassed. When someone asked, Brother Tai was the lieutenant of the Martial Arts School? How should I answer this? I was not thick-skinned enough, and I hid when I saw someone coming. I raised my head and raised my chest with thick skin: "Haha, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
At night in the Shen Mansion, there were more people. It would be fine if my colleagues gave each other some famous imperial edicts, but the lieutenants who lived in Bianjing could not just send a famous edict. This is the rule. The emperor was their first teacher, and they were also Shen Ao's well-deserved disciples.
Any disciple must visit. This is a courtesy, which is more important than all the principles. The closest people in this world are one, father and son, brothers, and teacher and student. The so-called one is one for one day to be a teacher and a father for one day. If anyone rebels from this, he really doesn’t have to be a human being.
Generally, there are no lieutenants who go back to their hometowns, and some of them are too far away from home. The school only has two hundred years off, and it is not enough to make a round trip, so they have to stay in the school. When these people come to visit, Shen Ao simply leaves them at home for the New Year, for fun.
The other group of lieutenants who lived in Bianjing were all young marquises, most of them were young lords. They all prepared generous gifts and came in with great pride. When they saw Shen Aona, they bowed and said many grateful words, and went to greet the master's wife, with rules and obedience.
Shen Ao only realized today that this kind of pleasure of being a teacher could not help but learn from Tang Yan's tone and said a few words: "Although it's a holiday, I can't fall behind. Remember to do the questions given by the doctors. Didn't you ask you to draw the surveying and mapping map of Bianjing? Drawing well, whether you can draw it is a matter of ability. Whether you draw or not is your attitude. Also, when you get up every day, you need to practice what you should practice, and you must do the same in school and at home. Remember the four words of self-restraint and rejuvenation, and do not treat it as empty words."
The captain straightened his chest and said, "As for orders."
Then there are some long and short words at home: "Is the home okay?" and so on.
After seeing off one person after another, Shen Ao asked someone to arrange wine and food at night to accompany the foreign lieutenants stationed in Bianjing to eat. Forty or fifty people sat upright, waiting for the wine and food to be served. Shen Ao raised his chopsticks and said, "Eat, don't be polite."
Only then did everyone raise their chopsticks neatly and start eating slowly.
Although this kind of eating is painful, the lieutenants are used to it and cannot change it. In the martial arts school, rules are rules, practice rules, teaching rules, even eating and sleeping rules, there are rules. There is no difference. Once the rules are too much, the habit comes out. Although there are no noise, no one makes a noise, no one arches his waist and laughs, and no one eats. The whole atmosphere is quiet, only the inaudible soft voice chews.
Even if they raised their glasses to drink, Chen Ao started to start first. Then everyone raised their glasses together, stopped in the air, and waited for Chen Ao to say his congratulations before drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Liu Sheng, who was serving next to him, looked straight. How could he eat like this during the Chinese New Year? However, seeing what everyone was used to, it was hard to say anything. He couldn't even say hello, and he lowered his eyebrows and directed his servants to serve tea and pour wine.
Chen Ji also came over halfway and came from afar. The captains stood up one after another and said, "Hello Mr. Chen."
Chen Ji often went to the martial arts school to teach. Of course, Chen Ao could not arrange for him to do a clerk's job, so he simply set up a name himself, called a guest doctor, similar to a temporary worker, and did not report to the Ministry of War, and asked him to teach students directly. The Ministry of War also knew about this, but others dared not to care about Chen Lengzi's affairs, so they had to turn a blind eye. In the past, Chen Ji was a hot potato, and anyone who got involved with him would inevitably be afraid of offending Taishi Cai. But now it is different. Mr. Chen is Lord Shen's teacher. No matter how brave Cai Jing is, he dares to touch his head? It makes Chen Lengzi rise, and it is not accurate to lead someone to copy the Taishi's mansion. You have to grasp the psychology of people. What can't be done by people like Chen Lengzi?
Chen Jihan waved his hand at them with a smile: "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Everyone continued to eat, without saying a word all night.
When they arrived in the second year of junior high school, they were subordinates, chief clerk of Honglu Temple, Lang Guan, doctors, instructors from the martial arts school, Han Shizhong and Yang Lin all came in the afternoon. Chen Ao left them to the back hall for a while and they felt that they were quite face-saving. If Lord Shen kept a few words, they were naturally regarded as their confidant.
Han Shizhong was easy to say. Chen Ao just asked him to organize people to write down a note on marching and fighting. He roughly wanted to compile a military textbook. In this era, most people were still reading various military tactics, such as Sun Tzu. Sun Wu is of course powerful, but it is too general and cannot help learning. To put it bluntly, that kind of military tactics is almost useless. Otherwise, everyone would hold a Sun Tzu's Art of War to fight. Wouldn't they be reincarnated?
What Chen Ao needs is experience. This Han Shizhong has the most experience. He can tell a word about battle, battle, marching, and camping with his fingers.
For example, if people want to drink water, livestock should also drink water. The heavy radius, if food and grass follow the water route, it can save livestock transportation capacity. Therefore, the army should try to move along the river. There is no water source, and the war will be in chaos before the army is fought. It is nothing when fighting Fang La in the south, and the water networks are intertwined, so there is no need to pay attention to this. However, if you want to fight with the Khitan and Xixia people, then first explore the river and the valley road is the top priority.
There are also camping camps. When camping, there should be outer ditches outside the wooden farm and inner ditches. There should be a road where large troops gather and dispatch, a cellar with buried gunpowder, a toilet should be kept away from water, and a scout should be released in time. Once the scouts cannot come back in time, you should pay attention and immediately organize a cavalry team to search. When marching, you should walk steadily. Walk for half a day, and the remaining half of the day should be spent camping and setting up camps. At night, there must be personal soldiers patrolling the night as a law enforcement team. Anyone who makes noise at night will be beheaded; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable once the camp is bombed.
Also, when camping, you need to choose flat land, and set up guard posts at the water source and upstream. If there is a highland nearby, you should send people to guard the water. Livestock should be placed downstream. People should drink water upstream. Before drinking water, they should lead a cow and horse to drink. Only after there is no need to do it can be used. If you can boil it, try to drink boiled water.
This knowledge is what the captains should learn. As for how to use military force, it depends on their own understanding. Giving him a book of Sun Tzu's Art of War is useless.
Han Shizhong took over the mission and happily prepared. As for Yang Lin, he carefully took out a list and said carefully: "Sir, this is the filial piety of envoys from various countries this year. Take a look."
Shen Ao nodded, took the order and glanced at it briefly, put it down, and said, "Just leave it all, let's share it, everyone has a good New Year."
Just when the entire Bianjing capital was showing a joyful and joyful atmosphere, Suiya Weekly published a news that Gyeonggi North Road was reversed.
At first glance, this title scared everyone. Where is the North Road in Jingji? It is only a two or three days away from Bianjing. It is a rebellion. It is not a joke. Maybe the thief army will kill to the city of Bianjing now. What should we do?
So I followed the article and reported the military situation of the bandit army truthfully, such as gathering 30,000 people, etc., and said that most of these bandit army were composed of wing troops and refugees, which was not a problem. The court had sent a pacification envoy and an imperial guards and made complete preparations. Within a few days, the bandits' power was settled.
I finally felt relieved. It turned out that it was just a mob composed of some wing troops and refugees. There was nothing to be afraid of. The combat effectiveness of the wing troops has been circulating in the market. With these people to fight against the imperial guards, wouldn’t it be like cutting the head and cutting leeks?
At the end of the article, it talks about the city defense of Bianjing. The city walls are ten feet high, how many military horses are stationed in the city, there are several crossbows and countless bows and arrows. These news naturally greatly boosted the morale of Bianjing. If this kind of news was revealed in the past, the wealthy families in the capital must have their families moved to another place first, so as not to be surrounded by the thief army and have nowhere to escape. However, the news revealed at the moment has stabilized the hearts of the people, and everyone feels that there is no need to relocate their families.
It is better to be loose than to block it. The more you hide it, the more magical the rumors will be. Rather than doing this, it is better to just report it.
On the second day of the lunar month, Jingzhao Mansion started to go out to the streets. The officers brought back from their homes and began to go out to find out the news. These officers were all in contact with all kinds of religions and had heard of the Tianyi Cult, so they arrested many people that day. These prisoners directly took them to Jingzhao Mansion and passed the trial one by one. Even the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice participated. Although they were in a fierce manner, they insisted on low-key and tried not to affect the festive atmosphere.
