Chapter 191 Rhythm
The time for Wu Zetian to be happy soon.
After picking the cotton, all the cotton boaths will not open together, but the first batch has been picked for more than one-third or four of the yield, and the output will come out. This is just the first step. You also need to remove the seeds, spin and weave the cloth after taking off the seeds, or use a cotton bow to make thin cotton.
But others, such as silk, kala, etc., have cumbersome procedures from materials to cloth. However, the chariots are different and the procedures are different. At the beginning, they are a little busy. But the output finally alarmed the court. Although cotton is not as good as silk, the fabric of all cotton must be more comfortable than gauze and linen. They are very unfamiliar with cotton people in Chang'an and are not unfamiliar with cotton, otherwise its price will not be similar to silk.
Not this, it is output.
This method of single-plant transfer and planting appeared almost after the 1980s. His previous history was blank. Li Wei was born 1,300 years ahead of his life. If there was hybridization technology, it might be possible to produce a monster with a yield of 2,500 kilograms of lint per mu. That's it, the output is also amazing. After all, it was the product of the experiments of Huangzhuang and Guanzhuang, and another 10,000 yuan was allocated as investment in fertilizer and labor.
It is equivalent to piled up with money, which makes up for the inadequacy of Luoyang, Guanzhong and Luoyang.
Except for a few land, most of the first batch collected more than fifty kilograms of lint, and even a few were close to one hundred kilograms. That is, the highest yield may reach 300 kilograms and even exceed 300 kilograms. After all, two-thirds of the fruit peaches above did not bloom. (Tang Dynasty kilograms)
Not only cotton cloth, but the cotton bow was swept into thin cotton, stuffed into a quilt cover, covered it, or stuffed it into a garment cover, and made a cotton coat. Although it is not as flexible as animal leather clothes, it is very warm. The military role has not been seen, but civilians have already seen it. If it is popular, at least the north does not need to be in cold weather, because there is no need to freeze so many people to death because of lack of clothing and cover.
At this time, it is not just how good life is, but whether you can eat and wear warm clothes.
First, sorghum, and agricultural cultivation was launched, and then cotton was raised. The time for the people of the Tang Dynasty was about to come. But it was very strange. One was initiated by the crown prince and the other was initiated by the queen. After hearing this, Li Zhi sat in the palace and was extremely depressed.
My wife didn't resent her son, she did it very cleverly, but Li Zhi knew everything. His wife's contribution was given by her son, but she didn't give her a single point...
I felt everything in my heart, but I was not a foolish monarch, so I had to issue an edict immediately and carefully collect all the cotton seeds and promote them on a larger scale next year.
Li Zhi couldn't think so, and was depressed and naturally wouldn't meet his son. It was useless to persuade his wife, but he didn't say anything.
Li Weiqun met several times but did not meet him. He was also very depressed. He stayed in the East Palace and lost interest.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, but now he is very indifferent to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Wei gradually ignores the existence of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s just that the weather is cold and the weather is high and cool, but Li Wei is unhappy when staying in the East Palace. Shangguan Wan'er and Wei Yue ran in in strange clothes, and Li Wei asked, “Are you…?”
"Your Highness, let's dance a song "Spring Oriole" to Your Highness."
There are many types of dances in the Tang Dynasty, including word dance, flower dance, healthy dance, soft dance and horse dance. Character dance and flower dance are patterns of flowers and characters that dancers use. They are often seen in later generations, such as the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Horse dance is not very common, and this is a combination of acrobatics, dance and equestrianism, which is quite difficult. But the common ones are still healthy dance and soft dance. Firm dance should be strong and powerful. Most of the dancers have male dances, including sword dance in the Tang people and Hu Xuan dance in the Hu people. Soft dance requires soft waists, such as Lanling King, or this song of spring oriole.
The difficulty is also quite large.
The two little loli jumped in strange shapes, and finally twisted around. Wei Yue suddenly fell to the ground.
Seeing their appearance, Li Wei finally couldn't help but feel happy.
The two little girls are not showing off their ugly faces, they mainly want to make Li Wei happy. Li Wei said, "Don't jump, I will take you to hunt somewhere."
Anyway, he stayed in the East Palace and did nothing. Li Wei did whatever he wanted and called Xue Na who returned to Chang'an and went to Mount Li to hunt.
The hunting time is a bit too early, so it is best to have another month or two. At that time, the plants and trees have officially withered, animals lack food, or hibernating animals finally "invigorate" it, which is the best time to hunt. However, Mount Li is not far from Chang'an, and there are many wild animals. Because of its diverse terrain and beautiful scenery, it is an important place for military and martial arts in the Tang Dynasty.
When hunting now, you will also gain some rewards.
But Li Wei's archery skills are still not good. In fact, in the archery hall of the East Palace, Li Wei's archery skills are still very accurate.
When asked Xue Na, his highness asked for advice, Xue Na naturally knew everything. His archery skills were still a little worse, but Xue Rengui's archery skills were unparalleled in the world. Perhaps in terms of strategy, Qinling was slightly better than Xue Rengui. However, in terms of archery skills and horse-shou ability, Qinling was far from Xue Rengui's opponent. It is estimated that almost no one in the world could compete with Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui passed all the skills of archery to Xue Na. However, experience is one, and personal comprehension ability is one. Xue Na's archery technique can only be called "Sui Ke, or much better than Li Wei. So Li Wei got off the horse and said, "Your Highness, give it a try."
Let Li Wei stand on the hillside and shoot a big tree more than 70 steps away. This distance is only a medium distance, the target is very large, and the difficulty is not high. Li Wei did not expect anything else, and raised the arrow and shot it, but still failed in one of the ten shots.
This is strange. When shooting arrows in the East Palace Archery Hall, you can't say that you can pass through the 100-step process, because Li Wei is gentle and has a careful mind to learn things. The guards also teach them all carefully. The archery technique is acceptable. However, they have little strength, so they can only pull one or two stone bows, and at the same time, they can only pull for more than twenty times. If they pull again, they can't pull it.
But there are six or seven out of ten targets with a hundred steps.
"Your Highness, it's the wind. Think about the rhythm of the wind. Although you don't have much strength, your Highness doesn't use heavy bows, so the arrows are a little floating when they go out. In fact, this problem is not big. Follow the wind."
This is not very mysterious. The masters of archery can not only keenly detect the movement of the wind, but also have a very good sense of direction. When walking, even the subtle heights and straightness of the road can be immediately felt. This is a person who stands on the ground and archery. When riding on the horse, he also has to feel the rhythm of the horse, the rhythm of the enemy or prey on the opposite side. This can improve the hit rate. Therefore, the archery competition is all outdoors, unless the hurricane or the general wind direction will not stop.
Xue Na did not expect anything else. He saw that the prince was terrible in his hunting performance, so he taught him carefully. Li Wei did not expect anything else. If the big court did not allow him to lead troops to fight, but if he learns more skills, he might be useful, especially when he escapes.
After all, this was Li Wei's relaxation, and it was purely a whim. But he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
After staying in Mount Li for more than ten days, archery skills cannot be a thousand miles a day. Li Wei only practiced some Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, or Wuqin Opera. The only hard part is the Yijin Jing of Shaolin Temple. It was also practiced since childhood. Li Wei inherited Li Hong's body bone development was basically mature, and he was still very thin. He could not become a martial arts master all at once. The same is true for archery skills. Li Wei insisted on training for more than a year and a half, and his body gradually improved. However, his body's foundation was thin, but his strength was only about the strength of ordinary people. His eyesight was OK, but his arm strength was ordinary. Xue Na said the so-called rhythm, and whether it was said or not, understanding was another matter. Therefore, when riding a horse and hunting, the usual archery skills were still inaccurate. However, in the end, the hit rate could make people look at it.
Just when he was overjoyed to Shu, the court issued an imperial edict to return to Chang'an.
Li Zhi asked someone to call him to enter the Daming Palace. There were all the prime ministers, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn. Li Wei didn't know what happened, so he bowed and said, "See Father."
"Sit," Li Zhi said expressionlessly.
Li Wei sat down, and Li Zhi said again: "Take the memorial."
It was the war in Nanzhao.
This time, the court sent Liang Jishou, in the name of sending troops from 18 prefectures including Sichuan, Shaanxi and Long, but in fact, he did not lead many troops there. Then, he hired 5,300 soldiers in Sichuan, Yao and other places, with a total number of less than 10,000. Of course, no one took Nanzhao seriously. Without the support of Tubo, Liang Jishou began to take action as soon as he arrived in Yaozhou.
He joined hands with Xinuluo, used the locals as guides, and set out south. Meng Jian was also careless. It was an exaggeration to have his own army of 200,000, but there were more than 100,000 troops, otherwise he would not have been thirty miles away in the battalion. Although the team members were very diverse, they were defeated by many people. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty sent troops over, he also began to go north and prepare to fight.
The two armies met in the northeast of Erhai Lake. Liang Jishou first sent General Linghu Zhi to lead troops to camp to block Meng Jian's vanguard infantry. He also sent Linyuan Guoyi Ma Renjing to lead a marching force to circumnate the rear, cut off Meng Jian's ambush, and then sent Yinzhou Governor Li Dazhi to lead the Tang Dynasty cavalry to attack Meng Jian's horse army. Then he asked the Chief of the Governor's Office of the Lizhou Governor, and marched Sima Liang Kaipi to lead 3,000 infantry soldiers to cut off the enemy's retreat. Liang Jishou did not have so many troops to mobilize, and they were mostly subordinates of Xinuluo and others. Then he drove straight into the main force such as the marching commander Han Qingyu.
It is not a clever plan, which is to first block the enemy's front army, let the rebels take their anger, and then block the rebel reinforcements, so that the front army can't feel the hope of victory, and then use the excellent cavalry of the Tang Dynasty army to attack. Finally, everyone goes up together and kills this group of ignorant assistants.
The plan was not very clever, but Meng Jian and other imperial officials were not very civilized after all, and had never fought a big battle, and they didn't even have the experience of leading so many troops to fight. They just rely on the number of people, and wanted to rush forward and win with more people. If this were the case, then there would be no such achievements as the Battle of the Purification.
As a result, it can be imagined that Meng Jian's front army attacked dozens of times, and the Tang Dynasty camp was as safe as Mount Tai, so he asked the army behind to speed up support, but the army behind was blocked again in front of a mountain. It was originally a united by various tribes, and the morale of the army had been shaken. Then Li Dazhi's cavalry came out. At this time, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was better than the Turks, and the Tubos did not count. One was careless, the second was altitude sickness, and the third was that the enemy was large and we were few, but compared with these cavalry of Nanzhao, the rebels wanted to escape. However, Liang Jishou's main force arrived again. So more than 100,000 people were immediately defeated.
Meng Jian and others saw something wrong, so they began to flee. Then they were attacked by Ma Renjing and Liang Huipi, and had no way to escape, so they had to fight again. However, the Tang army came again afterwards. As a result, more than 5,000 people were beheaded in the first battle and more than 4,000 people were captured. In the second battle, more than 7,000 people were beheaded in the second battle, and more than 5,000 people were captured. More than 5,000 horses were captured alone, and the leader and Shemian were captured alive. Meng Jian himself fled for hundreds of miles and fled to the Yangbi River. Meng Zhuozhao still existed, but it was basically dead in name only.
When the other departments saw that they were wrong, it turned out that although Dafeichuan of the Tang Dynasty lost, they were still a fierce tiger who could eat people and surrendered one by one when they saw that the situation was not good. Even Meng Jian himself sent someone to surrender Liang Jishou, wrote a letter of surrender, and apologized.
The edict was written by Luo Binwang. It was very literary and had a great victory. It was naturally very wonderful, as if it was a splash of flowers.
Then Liang Jishou surrendered to the tribes and even released Heshemian. This was taken from Zhuge Liang's intention to recruit Meng Huo. He wanted to rebel against the various tribes of the Tang Dynasty to attack and kill Heshemian, and later generations. It would be better to release him and make him grateful.
At this time when the war was in progress, all Liang Jishou's strategies were correct. In particular, the release and the sacrificial side were very consistent with the Tang Dynasty's detention policy.
Jue means a horse bridle, and slut is a cow's reins. Jue means to be free and do not interfere with each other. On the one hand, you must "restrain" and control it with military means and political pressure; on the other hand, you must use "restraint" to comfort it with economic and material interests. That is, carrots are given high praise, and if you are obedient, you will have the benefits of mingling with me. If you are disobedient, you will be punished to death immediately. The biggest thing is to surround the Protectorate, and then the Governor's Office, the prefecture and the county. Yaozhou was originally a state, to prevent Tubo from going east and being upgraded to the Governor's Office.
He was also disabled and obedient. He was like a big and big erectile dysfunction army chased the west and destroyed them directly. Logically speaking, he had to go back to the court.
However, at the end of the war, another incident happened. Liang Jishou wrote a letter. The reason why Meng Jian was able to recruit nearly 200,000 rebels was not that Erhai Lake could have so many troops. Erhai Lake was not small, but there was no big state in the Tang Dynasty. What is the concept of 200,000 rebels? Putting aside Xinuluo and other troops to support the Tang Dynasty, there were nearly 300,000 troops. One ten was to take one, and it would cost three million ordinary people. This population density was impossible for Nanzhao now.
Of course, it was not the Tubo who sent soldiers, otherwise they would not have won so smoothly. Besides, after the Nanzhao, Tubo lost the advantage of heaven and earth, and the gain was not worth the loss. Besides, Tuyuhun had not digested it, and it was not time to start the war again. It was mainly from the Wang tribe in the rear, and only the Wang tribes and other tribes supported it.
However, this time the army was defeated and the vitality of each unit was severely damaged. Therefore, in the high and cool autumn season, the army pushed the south and solved the various tribes such as Nanzhao.
This is different from what Liang Jishou discussed before leaving.
After reading the diary, Li Wei's eyes were also confused. In fact, the troops southwards were very poor, so the court was not very interested. Why did Liang Jishou march southward?
Then he heard Li Zhi ask, "Hong'er, I ask you, Liang Jishou had been to the East Palace before leaving and talked to you for a long time. What did you say?"
