Liu Bang had an eccentric personality and was a bit bully. Before he came to Xiangyang, there were no children of similar age around him, so it was fine. After arriving at the Prefectural Mufu, he inevitably had to play with Liu Yu and the others several times.
Liu Yu, Ma Fan, Liu Pi, these older boys, although younger than Liu Bang, are taller than Liu Bang. In addition, they have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they would only play with Liu Bang when they were lifted up.
Same.
Liu Bang didn't dare to bully Liu Yu and the others, so he turned to bullying those girls. He didn't come to the Prefecture Mufu many times, but almost every time he came, something happened. In the past year or so, he not only bullied
Outsiders like Huang Yueying and Lu Qiling also bullied the two "close" sisters Liu Jun and Liu Ying.
The Liu Yu brothers and sisters have played together since they were young and have a deep relationship. Naturally, they are not comparable to Liu Bang, an "outsider". Seeing Liu Bang bullying his sister, Liu Yu and his three brothers naturally refused to stand by and watch. They had to teach him a lesson, and the result was natural.
It ended with Liu Bang's complete defeat.
It is always inevitable for children to bump into each other and make noises. As a parent, Liu Xin doesn't want to be too lenient, so she simply gives them fifty points each. In fact, this is not fair to Liu Yu and the others, but
Liu Xin had always been strict with them, so they didn't feel bad about scolding them. Liu Bang, on the other hand, felt a little unhappy and instead resented his "younger brothers".
Remember to hold a grudge, but because his skills were inferior to others, Liu Bang could only show his face. Seeing Ma Fan gradually running away, Liu Bang spat hard and followed Qiaoer to the courtyard outside.
In this way, Liu Bang settled down in the Zhou Mufu and could enjoy rare delicacies three times a day, but he was not happy.
In the past, Liu Bang only came to the Prefectural Mufu to have a meal or visit, and he was led by servants, so he did not explain the rules of the house to him. But it is different now. Before moving to Chang'an, he will stay there
Qiao'er inevitably had to tell him about the rules of the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion.
The rules of the State Shepherd's Mansion are not very strict. Except for the backyard, the study and the hall, he can go anywhere else he wants. The study and the hall are where Liu Xin discusses matters. Let alone him, even the ladies are not allowed to do so.
In and out. In the backyard, apart from going to greet Ma Yun every day, Liu Bang himself didn't want to
He wanted to go in, because there were many female soldiers wearing gray armor and holding swords and guns, and he was a little scared when he saw it. It is said that these female soldiers are subordinates of Sixth Aunt, and they only listen to Sixth Aunt and his wife. If Liu Bang breaks in
If you enter a place you shouldn't be in, they don't care if you are a young master or not, they will really kill you.
Such rules are not made for Liu Bang alone. Liu Yu and Ma Fan must also abide by them. However, Liu Yu and Ma Fan have their own studies. Even if they are on vacation now, they still have to practice martial arts and review their homework.
However, Liu Bang neither liked writing nor practicing martial arts, so his biggest feeling was that he was so bored that it would be better to live alone in Chang Lehou Mansion.
Because Liu Bei is dead, without Liu Bei as the mastermind behind the scenes, in Liu Xin's view, Liu Bang is no longer a threat. Therefore, Liu Xin did not pay too much attention to the changes in Liu Bang's mentality, but focused his attention on moving to
On the important matter of Chang'an.
In fact, everything in the Prefectural Mufu has been packed up long ago, and as long as Liu Xin gives the order, he can set off immediately. Liu Xin continues to stay in the Prefectural Mufu, waiting for the return of the last batch of generals stationed in other places.
A few days later, Xu Huang and Pang De from the First Army Corps, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai from the Navy Army returned to Xiangyang one after another. Accompanying Xu Huang, two members of the First Army Army returned to Xiangyang.
Ten thousand cavalry, this cavalry will become the main force escorting Liu Xin north to Chang'an.
Before setting off, Liu Xin did not meet with Xu Huang specifically, but instead met with the four naval generals Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai.
Xu Huang is Liu Xin's adopted brother. When Liu Xin went north from Juchao to Hejian, Xu Huang served as his escort. In addition to this relationship, he was also the backbone of Liu Xin's advice to ascend the throne. That year, Liu Xin
In the name of the golden-armored god, let Jushu, Tian Feng, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun
People have an unwavering view that Liu Xin is the rightful ruler of the world. The big event that is going to happen in Chang'an City is jointly planned by the four of them. Therefore, Liu Xin is completely relieved to entrust the safety of his family to Xu Huang.
Naturally, there is no need for special interviews or special arrangements.
There is no doubt about the loyalty of the four naval generals to Liu Xin. Gan Ning is an old man who follows Liu Xin. Because of the Sun family's affairs, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai now have the utmost affection for Liu Xin. Zhou Tai is a naval officer.
Liu Xin not only did not look down on him because of his background as a bandit, but directly appointed him as the deputy commander of the navy. Because of this trust, he would not hesitate to let Zhou Tai go through fire and water.
Despite this, Liu Xin received them in person before setting off.
Looking at the four generals sitting in front of him as straight as a benchmark, Liu Xin asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you still used to life on the sea?"
Gan Ning opened the conversation first and said repeatedly: "My lord, you have never seen this before. One time, the last general was leading the fleet for training on the sea. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the waves were as high as the city wall. At that time, the last general was training at sea.
The general was sitting on the bow of the boat, shaking all over, and his internal organs seemed to be vomited out. When he got off the boat, he was shaking when he walked, and it took him several days to recover."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Now you know, although there are winds and waves in the Yangtze River, they are nothing compared to the sea. I have a suggestion, you can bring the craftsmen from Moling Shipyard to the sea.
, let them participate in sailing together and experience the power of the sea, so that they may be able to build ships more suitable for sailing on the sea."
Cheng Pu slapped his thigh and praised: "My lord, this method is good. Although the warships used in the navy have been improved many times, they are always a little unstable on the sea. If those shipbuilding craftsmen can experience it personally
, it will definitely help them build ships."
"The navy has been training on the sea for more than a year. After your family members move to Chang'an, we will take them out for a walk." Liu Xin stood up and pointed to the painting hanging at the back.
The map of the territory of the Han Dynasty said, "First it is easy and then it is difficult. Practice on the coastal islands first, and then gradually expand to the distant sea. There are still many lands there waiting for you to conquer and incorporate them into the territory of the Han Dynasty!"
Expanding territory is the dream of every soldier. Gan Ning and the others always thought that they were in the navy, and Xiping in Jiangnan was almost useless to Liu Xin in unifying the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin's determination to expand territory far exceeded that of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.
, has actually been released
We are in a distant overseas country. If we want to obtain overseas land, we naturally cannot do without a powerful naval force. Gan Ning and others suddenly felt that they had a place to use themselves. They stood up one after another and raised their hands together and said: "Finally, the general
I will never disappoint my lord!"
Liu Xin waved her hand, asked everyone to sit down, and said seriously: "Most of these overseas islands are uninhabited desert islands. Even if there are people, they are uncivilized savages. Therefore, your biggest enemy is the endless sea.
and complex and changeable weather. To defeat such an enemy, in addition to persisting in arduous training and equipping ships suitable for sea navigation, we must also master the changes in weather."
Hearing what Liu Xin said, Gan Ning and others looked at each other in confusion. They were military generals, and they would not even frown if they went into battle to kill the enemy. But the enemies they had to face now were actually the sea and the climate. This was simply the same as the sea and the climate.
Heaven Dou!
Seeing everyone's expressions, Liu Xin suddenly laughed and said: "Actually, it's not difficult. All you have to do is collect the daily weather conditions along the coast, summarize them, and find out the patterns. Find out what weather is blowing in what season.
Wind, which season is prone to storms, and many coastal fishermen know about the changes in tides. You will know after you send someone to inquire. The compass has been distributed to you. It is not a big problem to identify the direction on the sea, but you just have to
It is not enough to rely on the compass, you also need to learn to observe celestial phenomena and use the constellations in the sky as a reference."
Zhou Tai cupped his hands and said: "Back to my lord, the generals and others don't quite understand what you are talking about. I wonder if my lord can explain it in more detail?"
Liu Xin said with a smile: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't become fat after one bite. Things have to take your time. I have sent people to start collecting climate data. I will compile a copy and send it to you. But astronomy and geography
There is a lot of knowledge, but you need to study it specially. It just so happens that Chang'an City is going to hold a refresher course, which will be taught by teachers from the academy. You can participate together when the time comes."
This training class is different from the training class for senior generals. It is specially organized for teachers in junior schools. The teaching content is mainly mathematics and nature. If placed in future generations, this knowledge will appear very simple, and it can only be regarded as popular science level. However,
For people of this era, it is already a very profound theory.
For naval generals such as Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, much of this knowledge is quite practical. For example, telling them that the earth is round is very helpful for them to sail on the sea. And the tides, the formation of storms, and the changes in ocean currents
, the geographical location of the five continents, the four oceans, and several important straits. These popular science knowledge from later generations will give them a new understanding of the sea they are about to conquer.
It takes a lot of effort to make an ordinary person believe in this knowledge. Even the teachers in the academies are skeptical when imparting this knowledge to their students. But Gan Ning and the others are different. They are soldiers, soldiers
It is a bounden duty to obey orders, which is what Liu Xin has always instilled in them. Therefore, Liu Xin does not require them to believe or understand this knowledge, as long as they accept this knowledge and act according to it.
After resting for another two days, the generals who returned to Xiangyang were basically sorted out. On a midsummer morning, the large group left Xiangyang and headed towards Chang'an.
