When walking towards Chang'an Textile City, Masinde couldn't help but ask the question in the end. After all, if he didn't ask clearly about some things, he would inevitably have some doubts in his heart.
"Why was a smelting department built next to Weiyang Palace?" Masinde asked.
"This is Princess Zhong's masterpiece." Chen Xi covered his face and said, "Can you imagine that outrageous situation? Princess Zhong herself has enough smelting knowledge and is a strong world-breaker, and then she saw the young master.
The smelting department nearby had a small steel furnace, and I became curious, so I built one in my own garden after studying on my own. What's even more terrifying is that I successfully repaired it."
Masinde looked at Chen Xi dumbfounded. He didn't know how to respond to this outrageous situation. How could it be like this? What about a world-class princess?
"Didn't you realize that this place is only a few steps away from the palace wall of Weiyang Palace? Things like the blast furnace will explode one day." Chen Xi said with a sad expression on his face.
Rangarajan had a complicated expression. This could be regarded as a crime endangering national security. When building this place, if iron slag were to be blown up and stuck to the palace wall, then it would be disrespectful.
However, after recalling the billowing molten steel before, Langarajan understood again that the crime of endangering national security also depends on the target. With this steel output, if this furnace is inserted on the ancestral grave of Kushan, it must be said that it belongs to the ancestor.
Give me the Dharma!
The annual steel output of eight million kilograms, let alone outside the palace walls, even if it is actually inside the palace, as long as the brain is not sick, it will be moved to the palace instead of dismantling the steel furnace.
As for the crime of endangering national security, how should I put it? Just like now, if you build a controllable nuclear fusion furnace at home to generate electricity, no matter from which angle you are endangering public safety and endangering national security, but in this current situation
, will he be held accountable?
No, as long as it doesn't explode and is running well, you will not be held accountable. At most, you will be criticized and educated, but you will be included as a core talent later.
Just like when Li You wanted to detain Renzhong Princess Stina in Chang'an, after all, he was a core talent, the kind that everyone needed.
"Just for this steel furnace, look, this road opened a hole in the city wall." Chen Xi said helplessly.
Chen Xi's trust in Taichang's metaphysical feng shui was also extinguished because of this incident. After all, Chen Xi used to listen to old lady Chang's feng shui with gusto. However, Stina built a steel furnace, and Taichang didn't care about feng shui at all, and it exploded.
A street delivers various materials to the steel furnace.
Even later, Zhang Zhen plausibly stated that the steel furnace is the treasure of transportation, and the reason is very good - the major affairs of the country are to worship the Rong, and the Rong is the military and the military preparations. The steel furnace is the ultimate in military preparations and the foundation of a strong military.
It can control the luck of a place.
Although this statement is outrageous, you really can't fault it. Both sacrificial and military affairs are related to the destiny of the country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can effectively promote these two items as a luck-suppressing spiritual treasure.
"I thought about it and I think this is correct." Masinde said calmly, "After all, it was built with great difficulty and it is impossible to dismantle it. As for the difficulty of transportation, it is better than not having this thing at all, right?
.”
"Yeah, so this thing was built here, and then we moved all the bureaucrats and wealthy households around Huayang Street to other places. What's the reason? On the one hand, Wen Ru crushed his own house first, and on the other
On the one hand, it is the so-called spying artifact." Chen Xi sighed, what happened in Chang'an was always a bit overwhelming.
Chen Xi was completely confused about the reason Liu Ye fabricated the spying artifact at first, but after this reason came out, everyone in Huayang Street went to live in another street.
"This is more convincing than those illusory things." Masinde said with some admiration, "If this thing is placed in the hands of any rebel, it is really qualified to spy on the artifact."
After all, he came from the Northern Guishan Mountains, and he didn't believe in the idea of being ordered by God to live long and prosper. He had the spirit of "the emperor, the one who has strong soldiers and horses should be the emperor, I would rather have the seed."
"As long as you understand, don't say such things." Chen Xi glanced at Masinde and said.
"Okay, I'll just leave it alone. After seeing this Smelting Department, I have some confidence in the machines in your plan." Masinde suddenly said.
"You didn't believe in feelings before." Chen Xi said with some regret.
"It is always difficult for people to accept things beyond their own cognitive scope." Masinde said flatly, "Even after I read it in detail, I have connected the logic in it and realized that it is possible, but you have to know
, people, after all, live in their own cognition."
Chen Xi nodded, expressing his understanding of Masinde's situation.
"Standing from my current position, if I look at myself before I came to Chang'an, or before I received this understanding, how big a gap do you think there is between me and myself before?" Ma Xinde looked at Chen Xi seriously.
, there was a bit of exclamation in his voice.
"I don't know, but I know that the one you don't have this kind of knowledge is definitely not your opponent now, even if your intelligence is exactly the same and your abilities are almost the same." Chen Xi looked at Masinde calmly and said.
Chen Xi couldn't be more clear about this kind of thing. The upper limit of cognition and awareness can allow people with the same intelligence to open up three levels.
Just talking about internal affairs, Xun Yu and Zhang Zhao are actually very similar. But if these two people are brought together, most people probably don’t think Zhang Zhao is qualified to be ranked with Xun Yu. This is not a gap in wisdom and ability, but a gap in intelligence and ability.
It is the gap between cognition and awareness.
The same is true for Masinde. After Chen Xi broke through the upper limit of their cognition, Masinde has completely transcended his previous stereotypes. Now when Masinde meets his former self, even if all the conditions are the same, he is still on two levels.
There is a huge difference between being unable to do it and being difficult to do it.
"I once thought that as long as I was willing to be licked by Kushan, I could at least serve as an obstacle in front of the Han Dynasty. But after I came to Chang'an, I realized that if I were in Zhu Helai's position, there would be no
There is a huge difference, and after meeting you, I found that everything I thought about before may have preset conditions involuntarily." Masinde sighed lightly.
"It's not that big of a difference. When the technology gap is not widened, the population of both sides is similar, and both sides have the will to fight, it's not that easy to win." Chen Xi shook his head, "Even if we win, it's impossible to do it.
to destruction."
Winning the opponent and completely defeating the opponent are two different concepts.
"It's not bad." Masinde glanced at Chen Xi and said slowly, "Ten years is not a long time for the victorious country, but it is long enough for the losing country to fall one after another."
Chen Xi thought for a while, and indeed, the current state of Guishuang was essentially losing one batch after another, while the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi estimated, the Han Dynasty could withstand the collapse of three batches. Now the front line is composed of Cao Cao, Guan Yu, and Zhou Yu
The main force headed by.
This is the biggest difference between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty.
More importantly, even if the commander-in-chief of the war zone of the Han Dynasty fell, it was impossible for the general to die in battle, and the situation suddenly collapsed.
Suppose that Cao Cao in Beigui was in trouble for a while, and Aldashir seized the opportunity to kill Cao Cao. Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and others supported Cao Ang to rise to power. They may not be weaker than Cao Cao. More importantly, they also gave up the historical baggage.
Face the times with a new attitude.
Taking a step back, if Cao Cao's main force wiped out the whole school, it was just Zhuge Liang's swindling on the premise that his qualifications and popularity were completely sufficient. Zhuge Liang was absolutely happy and even took the initiative to take over the job. It didn't matter in other war zones.
If Cao Cao dies, Zhuge Liang will definitely be happy to pick him up.
After taking it, Zhuge Liang will definitely use his full strength. It is best to kill the opponent cleanly and then hang Cao Cao on the pillar of shame. Compared with playing tricks, the historical coffin is sealed, and strong contrast is the best.
efficient.
I, Zhuge Liang, killed the opponent with a blast, and the opponent killed Cao Cao. Is there any difference?
In fact, Chen Xi has thought carefully about the Central Asian issue. Once Cao Cao really fails, Zhuge Liang will most likely succeed him, because Zhuge Liang has a lot of popularity and favors in the Central Asian family. In addition, the Congling base was built by Zhuge Liang, and Cao Cao's power is really high.
With the extent of the collapse, Zhuge Liang is definitely the best person to clean up the mess.
Similarly, on the Ganges River side, even if Guan Yu was surprised, which one of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao could not support the overall situation? Who is not a figure who can take over the command of a large army if he is ordered to do so in danger?
Fifty thousand steps back, if the above four guys are finished together, the worst case is that Chen Xi will bring Lu Xun to take over, and the overall strength will not change much.
Not to mention Jiangdong, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were finished together. Even if the backup Sun Quan and Lu Meng were weak, they could still stabilize the situation.
Kushan no longer has such a foundation. I think when they first fought against the Han Dynasty, Brahe was defeated and the situation collapsed. The veteran Rahman quickly took over. After Rahman failed, Shantanu could at least
It can drive tens of thousands of troops into battle.
The same is true for Rahul. His lieutenants can more or less command an army of nearly 100,000 to fight. Even if they cannot command skillfully, they can at least assist from the side. When the situation gets out of control or something happens to Rahul,
hold the battle line.
In the same way, there are Ken Mailer and others under Arvind. As deputy generals, they all basically have the basic ability to command a large army. Even if they are not as skilled and effective as those generals, they can at least gather the soldiers in a defeat.
It won't lead to a huge defeat.
However, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer lieutenants of Kushan's level. Oswin's side is no longer there, and Kusroy's side is no longer there. Currently, the only deputy general of this level is Mengkang.
The cloth was left behind by Selian.
This is also the reason why Jia Xu and other wise men who are extremely afraid of Guishuan can finally say with certainty that Guishuan has no trump card to use in the next decisive battle.
Compared with the secrets of strategy, special tactics, special secret skills to restrain Han Dynasty shield guards, etc., these are not decisive factors in a battle of this level.
Even military souls, three talents, etc. are not decisive factors. After the scale of the war reaches this level, the importance of large army command and logistics support is far greater than others.
In the entire Han Dynasty, only Chen Xi really despised Kushan. The others basically despised it strategically and attached great importance to it tactically. This was because the Han Dynasty fought thousands of miles away and had logistical support problems. However, when fighting in Kushan, the two major elements were both.
not a problem.
As for other shortcomings, internal struggles, bureaucratic corruption and other problems, these are normal situations. They are problems that everyone has, so they are not problems. The Han Dynasty's survival was to curb this situation. To say that it solved this problem
Situation, ghost letter!
Therefore, every time there was a large-scale battle, the Han Dynasty paid great attention to it. Only Chen Xi really knew what to do and what to do!
Until this time, the Han Dynasty was basically sure that they would replace Kushan. Without the backup to command the large army, everything was easy to say.
As Masinde said, ten years is a short time for the victorious country, because continuous victory will only make the situation more stable, and the replacement of generals will not be too fast, but for the losing side, that is a long time.
The replacement of batches does not mean that the defeated country has more seeds, but that the defeated country is forced to try and make mistakes!
Just like the so-called heroes emerge from troubled times, it's not that capable people are concentrated in troubled times, but more people die, leaving more positions vacant. Those who are behind are either full of confidence or rushing to the top. In short, in people
Before death and the end of the world, there will always be a leader.
Ten years is too long for a defeated country. It is long enough to replace most of the people at the top. It is also long enough for a political force to fall apart, reorganize, and collapse again several times until it stabilizes.
until.
"Actually, your presence can also help the people of Guishang to suffer less chaos." Chen Xi suddenly said, "We are not attacking Kushan for the purpose of destruction. I think if you can give up Kushan and come to the Han Dynasty, it should be the same."
Know some of the policies we implement in Kushan.”
"Although there is no shortage of strategies to reduce castes and eliminate households, they are generally in favor of localization. The extreme policy is actually caused by the inertia of Brahmanism, which causes the middle and lower castes to voluntarily retreat from the world in order to improve their castes and become closer to Brahmans." Masinde said flatly.
said.
If it were purely foreign colonization, Masinde and Rangarajan would not have come to the Han Dynasty, and Moggallana would not have chosen to die.
These top figures in Kushan gave up their resistance after careful consideration and determined that under the rule of the Han Dynasty, people's lives would be better than before. Otherwise, they would not have given up so easily.
To be honest, even in the future, if an alien master comes to the earth and requires humans to work only forty hours a month and provide all other entertainment and material foundations, the vast majority of people will not resist, and the upper-class people with conscience will give up.
Resist.
The Han Dynasty was as bad as it was bad, but apart from dealing with the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty really did not achieve the situation when Europe colonized the world in later generations. No matter how distorted Confucianism was, it always advocated morality.
I slipped away and continued driving to work. I became more and more convinced of myself.
