Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 206

Before leaving the house in the morning, Leftover ran up to Li Buqi and asked the others to back off, before asking, "Teacher, is it true that the Yellow River diverted its course because Father didn't want Leftover?"

Li Buqi smiled and said: "Don't listen to those fools. It means that there is a lot of silt washed down from the upper reaches and piled up on the flat lower reaches. After a long time, it is inevitable that the breach will be diverted. This is waiting for the master of the academy to give you Talk about it."

Zuo Er was obviously still dubious, but the long-term discipline training prevented him from continuing to ask, and went to school with Niu Man and the others with his head drooping.

In the palace, Li Buqi deliberately lowered his eyelids to bear the obvious embarrassment of Zhao Zhen, but the emperor still held back for a long time before asking the question: "Buqi, now people in the capital say that the diversion of the Yellow River is a way of doing things for the rest of us. What about the warning for my son to leave the palace. Wen Qing and Pang Qing said that the diversion of the Yellow River was caused by the cutting of too many trees in the upper reaches and the sedimentation in the lower reaches, and it was not a warning from heaven. What do you think of this?"

Depend on!Steal my lines?Li Buqi had already thought about it when he arranged to spread rumors. The emperor would definitely ask himself about this matter, and then he would insist that the diversion of the Yellow River was inevitable.Unexpectedly, Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji snatched his prepared lines, which annoyed Li Buqi.

Don't you always say that Qingyuan Academy's research results are nonsense?How could he use Qingyuan Academy's theory as a shield so confidently?
Haven't you always felt the connection between heaven and man?Why is it not an induction this time?Don't you feel your face hurts?
Li Buqi was very upset, so he decided to give Wen Yanbo and the others some eye drops: "Your Majesty knows that since Qingyuan Academy discovered this truth, the ministers have been insisting on it, but there are not many people in the court. The minister thought it would be the same this time." The silt deposits are all piled up on the flat riverbed downstream, and the river course will be diverted one day, which is a natural phenomenon. As for the diversion at this time, it is just a coincidence."

People always understand the meaning of other people's words according to their own psychological tendency, so it often happens that a person's praise of others is interpreted as irony by others.Zhao Zhen, as a child who was taught "the relationship between heaven and man" since he was a child, this concept has been deeply rooted in his bones, and he naturally has a certain tendency when discussing this issue.Although Li Buqi spoke righteously and resolutely, Zhao Zhen heard something else.

That's right, Wen Yanbo and the others were not interested in Qingyuan Academy's theory before?Why did you suddenly change your temper this time?Very strange!

Also.Li Buqi was definitely not lying. The diversion of the river course was indeed a natural phenomenon, but why did it happen at this time?Why did it happen when the remaining son left the palace for a few days?So many ministers are admonishing themselves to review whether there is any lack of morality, are they all wrong?

Li Buqi's answer did not alleviate the emperor's doubts in the slightest.He pondered for a long time before saying: "Don't give up, I think it's better to take the remaining son back to the palace just in case. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, no! It will take a while to get it back." Li Buqi was categorical again this time.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly asked: "Why?"

"Your Majesty is taking the leftover brother back now, isn't it calculated to admit that you drove the third prince out of the palace? Xiaomin is ignorant, I'm afraid to spread rumors and leave a bad name for your majesty. And the third prince is young now, I'm afraid he can't I appreciate His Majesty's painstaking efforts, and it will not be good if I have a grudge in my heart in the future."

"Well, yes, yes. Indeed. Oh, what should I do?" The emperor lost his mind.

Li Buqi was very considerate of the emperor and said: "I have a way. It's just that I shouldn't talk about this matter."

"Tell me and listen. I will tell the difference."

"Actually, whether the third prince is in the palace or outside the palace is not the key. The key is that some people think that His Majesty let the third prince out of the palace because he doesn't intend to pass the throne to the third prince. But your majesty never said that he has such a plan. So just tell the world to refute the rumors. Then the rumors will go away."

To be honest, the timid Zhao Zhen really regrets it now.With this tendency, and thinking about it carefully, he felt that Li Buqi's method is indeed the best choice at present. Not only can he fool the heavens and the people without losing his face, but also avoid the conflict between father and son. A rift arose between them.

He nodded again and again: "Buqi has hit the point. Why didn't I remember it? I will send an envoy to tell the world and quell the rumors among the people."

Li Buqi said very intimately: "Since His Majesty knows about this matter, the third prince will hear about it sooner or later. Therefore, I ask your majesty to take the third prince into the palace immediately, and explain to the third prince face to face your majesty's painstaking efforts, so that the third prince will not be disturbed." Misled."

"Well, yes, yes. Chen Lin, hurry up and get someone to pick up brother left."

On the way to the barracks outside the north gate, Li Buqi was thinking about how to take advantage of the current situation.

Chen Zhizhong and Wen Yanbo are actually talking about science now.interesting!Since they talk about science, we can add more fire to see if they can stick to science.

On the way, Li Buqi asked a guard to go back immediately to deliver a message to Zhang Yingniang, and then went to the barracks.

Outside the North Gate of Kaifeng, people shouted and neighed all day long on the grounds of the Police Department’s barracks.According to Li Buqi's request, all police cavalrymen must stay on the horse for the whole day as long as they have breakfast until dinner every training day.

Although Li Buqi had stated in the recruitment notice that the training of the police cavalry would be very difficult, the number of soldiers from the Imperial Army who were recruited was still insufficient.When he found out that not only did he have to stay on the horse all day, but Li Buqi had extremely strict requirements.

Li Buqi's requirement is that trainees should shoot ten arrows at a target [-] steps away and five arrows at a target [-] steps away with the eight-dou riding bow every day; The straw dummy makes stabs, while the wooden dummy sticks out a long stick wrapped in cotton. The trainee must push the stick away and hit the target on the straw dummy.Short weapons must also be trained, as well as infantry combat.

The recruited Imperial Guards were drilled unspeakably, and the number of those who quit and were eliminated has reached 800.But the meals of the police cavalry were really good, and Li Buqi would never withhold food, so most of them still gritted their teeth and persisted.However, those who stay are also looking forward to field riding training, tracking training and formation training every day, which is relatively easy!

The officers and soldiers transferred from the Zhenwu Army were different again.They have long been accustomed to high-intensity training, and what they need now is to learn riding skills and horse fighting skills.Because the people transferred from the Shaanxi Army have not been in place yet, Zhe Yinghui invited Li Buqi to play as a guest instructor.Zhejia is one of the few generals in the Song Dynasty who is more proficient in using cavalry.

On the training ground, Li Buqi rode a horse and ran to Zhe Yinghui, who was busy, and said, "It looks like you can get on a horse today?"

Zhe Yinghui made a grimace: "Don't worry. I will definitely meet your request, sir."

Li Buqi pointed at a person in the distance with his horsewhip and asked, "Huh? What's going on here? Why is his posture so strange?"

Zheyinghui chuckled: "That's so stupid, I had to tie him to the horse. You don't know if anyone in our place can't learn how to ride a horse, just tie it to the horse, and he will be able to do it in three days."

Li Buqi didn't blame Zhe Yinghui for messing around, but just smiled.There is no way around this. If you want to lead a group of farming peoples to defeat the peoples who grew up on horseback, you have to suffer a little and shed a little blood.But for the prospect, he is confident.During the Russo-Japanese War, didn’t the short-legged Japanese cavalry compete with the Cossack cavalry who rode horses from childhood?Li Buqi believes that as long as he thinks of a way, it will be no problem to knock off the hat of the Song people who are not good at fighting in the future battle.
