Daming kill

Chapter 112 Leap November

Today is the first day of leap November, and it has been a while since Li Tian Shuisheng and others were beheaded, and everything is peaceful.

Time is diluting the impact of the killing, and Li Ping's troops are getting more and more formed.

It's not that he really lived in ancient times. Li Ping, who is used to the Gregorian calendar, didn't even know that there is a leap month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

What do you mean?That is, one November has already passed, and another November will pass, and this November is called Leap November.

Why?

Because the Ming Dynasty used the lunar calendar, which is also a lunar calendar.

There are three types of calendars in the world:

One is the Gregorian calendar, which takes the time for the earth to revolve around the sun to be a year, and the number of months and days in a year can be specified artificially, which is commonly used by countries in later generations.

One is the lunar calendar, which takes the time for the moon to revolve around the earth as one month, and only the number of months in a year can be artificially specified.

The third type is the lunar calendar, which is based on the average time for the moon to orbit the earth as one month, but by setting the leap month, the average number of days in a year is equal to the average time for the earth to orbit the sun.

In ancient China, what was used was not the lunar calendar that people usually think of, but the lunar calendar. The lunar and solar elements in the lunar calendar have their own uses.

Among them, the 24 solar terms are a great invention in ancient China. They indicate the position of the earth in its orbit, reflect the annual apparent movement of the sun, and are most suitable for guiding agricultural activities. Therefore, the traditional Chinese calendar, which is a combination of yin and yang, is called the lunar calendar.

Therefore, the lunar calendar is not the same as the lunar calendar.

The leap month refers to a phenomenon in the lunar calendar.

The lunar calendar arranges the big moon and the small moon according to the waxing and waning of the moon, that is, the synodic month. The length of a synodic month is 29.5306 days, which is the cycle of the moon phase profit and loss. According to the lunar calendar, the big month has 30 days and the small month has 29 days, so that there are 12 months in a year. There are 354.672 days in total, and the months in the lunar and solar calendars have no seasonal meaning, but the difference between a year and a year in the Gregorian calendar is 10.875 days. After only 17 years, the dates in the lunar and solar calendars will be reversed with the seasons.

Using such a calendar naturally cannot meet the needs of agricultural production.

Therefore, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, my country's lunar calendar has been paralleled with the 24 solar terms, and the 24 solar terms have been used to guide agricultural production.

If the lunar year is composed of thirteen synodic months, the length is 29.5306×13=383.8978 days, which is 18 days more than the return year.

If the calendar is formulated according to the above regulations, there will be strange phenomena that the time of day does not match the calendar, and the time sequence is disordered and reversed.

This is a contradiction.

In order to overcome this shortcoming, our ancestors found out the method of "leap month" on the basis of astronomical observations to ensure that the first month to March of the lunar calendar is spring, April to June is summer, and July to September is spring. Autumn, from October to the twelfth lunar month is winter, which also ensures that the beginning of the lunar year is at the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

In this way, a leap month is set every 2 to 3 years.In other words, there will be 1 months in a year to coordinate the contradiction between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar.

In the lunar calendar, the month after which the leap month appears is called leap month. This year, the leap month appears after November, so it is also called leap month.And the next time it will appear in May three years later, there will be an extra month of May in that year.

However, Li Ping is not clear about these twists and turns.

He only figured out that they are now using the Datong calendar that was used in the early Ming Dynasty. There are either 30 days or 29 days in a month, and then there is the saying of leap month, and then there seems to be a little problem with this calendar.

Anyway, the old guy Hu Zhongshan said that the solar terms should be delayed for two or three days to be more accurate.

And Gao Lei is a little more serious. She studied the eight books for a few days, and expressed great curiosity about how to solve everything with such a full number of days in a year and the same full leap month. After all, the Gregorian calendar of our future generations is still It needs a changeable February to adjust.

Soon, Gao Lei's question made Li Ping understand a little bit.

After the earth revolves around the sun for a whole day, there is a remainder. It is impossible to complete the whole day, so where does this remainder go?

This is obviously a problem, and Hu Zhongshan's life experience may also be related to this.

The Datongli is actually derived from the Shoushili calendar implemented in the Yuan Dynasty, and it is purely a name change, with basically no major changes in content.

Although the time-serving calendar is much more advanced and accurate than the previous calendars, there are still many problems. At least in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, there have been many errors in the calculation of solar and lunar eclipses.

For the ancients who valued celestial phenomena, this was not a small problem.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, there were always many voices calling for the revision of the calendar, and this work had already begun in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

In fact, the new calendar was compiled in the seventh year of Chongzhen.

And it was compiled by the famous Xu Guangqi "with reference to Western law" (actually mainly Western law), but for some reason it has not been promulgated and implemented until now.

And this new calendar is the lunar calendar marked under the Gregorian calendar on the mobile phone that Li Ping is used to.

Why is this happening?

Because it was adopted in the Qing Dynasty, it was named "Shixian Calendar" after a simple modification.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, people passed down the calendar to the Xia Dynasty, and renamed it "Xia Calendar" to continue to use it.

In the special years of the 20s, "Sweeping the Four Olds" believed that "Xia Li" was the imprint of the Xia Dynasty and had to be renamed.

Because the traditional calendar is widely used in rural areas, on New Year's Day in 1968, the name of "Xia Calendar" was changed to "Lunar Calendar" overnight on newspaper headlines across the country.

With so many stories, neither Li Ping, Gao Lei, nor Zhao Lanyue know much about them.Moreover, the calendar is at best a topic of conversation between them, and the most important thing for them now is to adapt to this calendar.

Li Ping finally understood why he always felt that the weather was a bit out of line with the last month, or that it didn't match up with the little ice age he was worried about. It turned out that there was still a month to come, but this also made him more worried.

Winter also entered too early, which was equivalent to a month earlier than normal years.

And not only does winter come early, summer doesn't feel short, and it's still as hot as ever, maybe even hotter, but autumn seems to be really short.

The Little Ice Age was truly extraordinary.

In the morning, Li Ping went to the newly formed Eighth Company to have a look.

The eighth company is a company that has just been formed a few days ago. The members are mainly from the young and strong recruited recently and the personnel in the security camp who have been selected after a period of food supplements. The company commander is Yan Ming, the former deputy company commander of the fifth company. .

The deputy company commander of the eighth company was a platoon leader named Zhu Erzhuang from the original first company.

This guy's recent training and assessment are very eye-catching, and of course Li Ping will give him the opportunity he should have given. After all, he didn't clean them up for the sake of cleaning them up.

The vacancy of deputy company commander of the fifth company was filled by Qian Dongzi, Li Ping's former personal soldier, platoon leader Qian Dongzi.

The vacancy of the deputy company commander of the third company was taken over by the platoon leader of the second company named Chen Gang. This guy and Zhu Erzhuang were one of the two captains who were not promoted due to poor assessment. Zhu Erzhuang has grown up now, but this guy is still nothing too much A big change, only slightly stronger than before.

Li Ping used him this time only out of stability considerations.

Zhu Erzhuang has no other principled problems other than not thinking about making progress. It is too easy for him to walk into the opposite side if he is left alone.

Putting it in an old company like Sanlian, which has fought battles, he doesn't need to play a big role, and he can't blame others if he is suppressed in the back.

In this way, Li Ping's army has nine combat companies directly under it, which is a bit too much in terms of the command line, and another level of command links needs to be established in the middle.

However, Li Ping does not plan to set it up at present. The maturity of personnel is a problem, and it is also an important consideration to make the already immature command teams at all levels stable, stable and proficient.

Frequent adjustments are not a good thing for an army, especially frequent promotions.

In the afternoon, Li Ping had a longer exercise again.

Recently, as long as he has time, he will use the afternoon to improve his physical fitness and do boxing training. His physical fitness is being fully recovered and further improved, and the fat on his thighs has become less and less.

Being able to overcome inertia so quickly is mainly due to his long years of military life, and maintaining exercise has already penetrated into his bone marrow.

But Li Ping is also often lazy and relaxed.

But as long as the unique military rhythm of life starts, he will always start to adjust his body unconsciously. Perhaps this has become a habit.

After sweating profusely, Li Ping went back to his residence to take a bath. The bath water had already been prepared, and Liu Xiaohui's arrangements in this regard almost never had any problems.

After habitually testing the water temperature with his hands, Li Ping directly sat down in the big tub, and then closed his eyes comfortably to rest his mind.

Seeing that Li Ping had no other orders, Li Jing picked up the dirty clothes that Li Ping had taken off, said softly, "Master, I'm going out first", and without waiting for Li Ping's reply, she gently left the room with the clothes in her arms. .

Everything seemed so natural, Li Ping and the people around him had formed an almost fixed pattern of getting along.

Everyone has gradually become familiar with Li Ping's living habits, and no one will intervene too much in Li Ping's private space just for fun, nor will they deliberately flatter them.

And Li Ping has gradually adapted to the life of being served by others, and he has become more and more calm and open to his own identity and status.

Good guy, bad guy, what kind of guy is he now?He himself does not know.

After soaking for a while, Li Ping took out a cigarette from the wooden cigarette case on the small wooden platform next to the bathtub. Smoke on.

After taking several sips, Li Ping took a sip with his mouth.

The filter bag in the filter tip of this cigarette is Song Baolai's newest product, and it has changed a bit from before. Li Ping can feel that smoking is more comfortable and smoother.

Li Ping was in a daze while puffing out the clouds, how could he feel pretty good on such a day.

The war has not yet come, and he is a small landlord with his own land. He has soldiers and food under his command, and the feeling of being in power is very real, especially with a group of Yingying and Yanyan.

Although the supplies are a little short, it seems pretty beautiful if it can be like this forever.

This wicked old society!

No wonder everyone wants to be a master, who knows who is the master!This is really the land of the landowners, the paradise of men.

It's no wonder that people like Hu Zhongshan become so fast, isn't even he, a so-called person who has seen the big world, greedy for enjoyment?
People are really fickle!Wenrou Township is really a tomb of heroes!

Suddenly, there were a few light knocks on the door, and then the maid Li Jing came in again, but as soon as she entered the room, she was choked by the smoke in the room and coughed twice, obviously she hadn't adapted yet.

When Li Ping looked back with a cigarette in his mouth, Li Jing cleared her throat lightly and said, "Master, Miss Zhao is here, waiting for you outside."
