Liu Yan is only thirty-two years old this year, and the youngest of the central ministers and those generals is also about thirty years old, and most of them are over forty years old.
Han Xin, the greatest hero of the Western Han Dynasty, will die, and everything else is false, mainly because Han Xin is younger than those who have gained power and high positions in the war.
Liu Bang and others are all fifty or sixty years old, but Han Xin is only in his thirties, who will not be afraid of the death of the older generation, Han Xin, who is also the older generation but so young, will change the country.
The general internal situation of killing heroes will not be so simple, the basis is that the ruler is worried that the ruling power is not stable, and the founding king kills the group of people who followed him to fight the country, usually because the founding king is afraid that his heirs will not be able to suppress it after his death, and those heroes themselves are too domineering.
Liu Yan doesn't want to kill any of his ministers now, as time goes by, no one can be sure of many things, maybe any of the ministers will find their own death, or Liu Yan is afraid that his heirs will not be able to suppress someone.
Because of everyone's own cranky thoughts, Liu Yan concentrated on the drought and locust plague that would occur in the Central Plains, and the Xiangguo returned by the inspection team not only did not become lively again, but the atmosphere was even more depressing and dull than before.
It was in that atmosphere that the team that went to Guanzhong in advance was going on all the time, and when the season entered the summer, Ji Chang returned to Xiangguo from Yandi.
The background of Ji Chang's return to the center was that the Han army had fully occupied the territory that originally belonged to Murong Yanguo, and he was ordered to hand over the command of the troops to Lu Tai, and set out on the way home at the same time as Ran Min, Xie Ai and some others.
It didn't take long for the people who returned to Xiangguo to notice something unusual, taking Ran Min as an example, when he learned that his colleagues were worried about a possible purge, he burst into a "haha" laugh, and then said to his retainers: "I first established the kingdom as king, and then I went to the king in desperation, and I can still get a high position to lead the army to fight." ” Ran Min meant that he was the person he should be most afraid of, but he felt that Liu Yan was not that kind of person.
It seems that this is also the case, if Liu Yan does not have a broad enough mind, how can he accept Ran Min's defection, and then repeatedly give command of the army.
As a retainer, the head of the family can be optimistic, but they have to be careful, Liu Yi said: "The world must be stable when it sees it, and there is no longer a threat to the power of the Han Dynasty, but I don't know if the king can still have a big heart."
Jiang Gan, Miao Song and Dai Shi also expressed the same concern, but Ran Min laughed again.
"Simple."
Ran Min immediately stood up from the posture of sitting on his knees, and said with a big grin: "I will go to the palace city immediately and ask the king face to face." ” In an instant, one of the retainers counted a head full: " Ran Min didn't wait for the retainers to react, he had already strode out, and he didn't stop shouting behind him, and he really went directly to the palace, so scared that his retainers were about to break their guts.
Xiangguo can be regarded as a large range of palace cities, Ran Min arrived at the palace gate to ask for a meeting, and the guards reported layer by layer, waiting for Liu Yan to agree to the meeting, and nearly two quarters of an hour passed.
Ran Min met Liu Yan in Lin Yuan, when Liu Yan was tinkering with a rectangular-looking machine.
"Yongzeng, come."
Liu Yan greeted Ran Min, but he got out of the way from the threshing machine, pointed to the pedal and said, "Step here." ” Ran Min heard a "boom" sound from a distance, and was curious about what it was, so he stepped close to the pedal and found that the pedal actually had a return force, and the round thing on the machine was moving with the pedal.
"What is the metal ring on this round wooden barrel do" Ran Min reached out to touch it, but was stopped by Liu Yan, otherwise there would be absolutely no good result.
He stepped on it happily and with great curiosity: "Threshing machine" This machine is the thirteenth prototype after Liu Yan ordered the study, and the previous ones were either easy to take off the bearing shaft or the gear was easy to get stuck.
Liu Yan didn't know why Ran Min came, and after doing something, he introduced the threshing machine with a show off.
The latest sample machines use very little metal, but they test the process very much, such as gears and bearing shafts.
In the pre-Qin period, there was a mature use of molds, and the technology of the Qin State was the most perfect, and a large number of military equipment was poured and molded using molds, and then polished, and the error could be limited to one millimeter.
After the Qin Empire, the molding method of the mold used technology disappeared for some reason, and I don't know whether the technology was lost, or the Han Empire had its own process technology, it can be determined that the production process of the Han Empire was far inferior to the error specifications of the Qin Empire.
Liu Yan's Han Kingdom was already manufacturing bronze cannons, and the use of molds must have been picked up again, but it was not possible to achieve an error of one millimeter during the Qin Empire in a large-scale application.
Mold pouring method, including assembly line production, and some production technologies and concepts, some are created by the ancestors but lost to pick up, and some are Liu Yan's "initiative".
The inability to catch up with the standards of the Qin Empire is not due to technical deviations, but to management problems, such as the engraving of the names of items made by the Qin Law, and whoever fails to meet the requirements will have serious consequences.
In fact, everything depends on people, that is, modern intelligent production lines, but if people do not operate properly, they will still produce waste products, and people-oriented can refer to many aspects.
Due to the fact that the number of various craftsmen is too small, and more than seventy percent of the armament production of the Han State depends on the system, even if Liu Yan can be as strict as the Qin State, in fact, the effectiveness is really not very good for a while.
Of course, he has the intention to be strict with the craftsmanship of the production personnel, but that requires more craftsmen, otherwise the most likely thing is that the craftsmen will be killed Ran Min obviously has never done farm work, and the education he received cannot find the importance of threshing machines to farming, Liu Yan is still talking about the benefits of threshing machines after large-scale application, but he is impatient to mention the purpose.
"Leader" Liu Yan frowned slightly, knowing why Ran Min asked like that, and then said: "There is a war that needs to be sent to Yongzeng." ” Before Liu Yan made his rounds, Ran Min mentioned in Yandi that he was going to Dingxiang, but he was delayed.
"Just say, those guys are just mediocre people."
Ran Min didn't know if it was really Geng Zhi or who he gave eye medicine: "It's ridiculous to say that the king wants to purge the heroes" Maybe Ran Min will say whatever he thinks in his heart, but judging from his experience of being able to mix in Shixian safely for so many years, it shouldn't be Geng to this point.
Liu Yan's face became very exciting, of course he knew what the ministers were thinking recently, and it was only Ran Min who dared to come over and say it with a big grin.
He really didn't know if Ran Min had no political IQ, or if Ran Min was wise and stupid.
Liu Yan looked at Ran Min and said with some annoyance: "That's how they share their worries about the widow."
Ran Min didn't care about it after the cannon was fired, and asked about the number of commanders.
"There are already two armies in Dingxiang."
Liu Yan was talking about the troops under Li Tan's command, and said to Ran Min: "Yongzeng will go this time, just bring a firearm song." ” The Han State has rebuilt the military system, from top to bottom, corps, group armies, armies, divisions, qu, tun, teams, shi, and army.
The staffing establishment is two corps for one corps, five corps for one team, five corps for one canton, four cantons for one qu, five qu for one division, and three divisions for one army.
The so-called firearms units are actually units that use gunpowder weapons to fight, and the current use is also bronze cannons, explosive packs, and grenades.
Originated from the fact that the porcelain jar grenade was really unreliable, and the porcelain jar grenade was no longer produced, and the wooden handle grenade was developed in the follow-up.
It's just that the wooden handle grenade is definitely not comparable with modern technology, and there should be a pull ring, anti-risk paper, pull fire rope, fuse, explosives, and cartridge shells, but detonators, copper wire springs, lead pipes, and screw sleeves are not currently available for mass production.
By the way, Liu Yan has ordered the workshop to study firearms, but it must be admitted that it is countless times more difficult to make firearms than bronze cannons, unless the system is upgraded to the Imperial Age to produce musketeers, otherwise it will not be possible to see a large number of guns in the army in a short time.
Also, Liu Yan has no idea about the musketeers that the system can summon, and it is not clear what the guy in the hands of the summoned musketeers will be.

"That's good."
Ran Min said very happily: "The scene of bombardment of armor and cavalry and heavy infantry with artillery must be spectacular. ” Dingxiang has been besieged for nearly two years, not to mention the countless trenches dug around, the trap is even more amazingly dense, and the armor and cavalry of the Longteng Guards have been beaten back several times in their attempts to break through, but those equipped heavy infantry do not play a large role in restricting much.
The remnants of the Qiang tribe hiding in Miyagi, their breakthrough operation has been going on for nearly a month, and Li Tan originally had three standing armies under his command, and the remaining two were one who suffered too much damage in the fight.
The breakthrough of the Dragon Guards is to survive, and the troops who are desperate to survive are definitely more fierce than any mourning soldiers, although there are many unfavorable factors, but the will to die is not lacking at all.
The bronze cannons of the Han Kingdom, serving it needed a soldier, most of them had wheeled pedestals, relying on animal power to pull.
However, unlike the rest of the troops, the firearms unit can use warehouses to facilitate supply, so it needs a large number of logistics personnel to ensure supply, and there are only 300 soldiers who can really operate artillery, but 700 people are needed to support 30 bronze cannons.
"Isn't it enough to have only one song" Of course, Ran Min hopes to carry as many artillery pieces as possible: "Or just a division" Liu Yan immediately laughed and scolded: "There is only one song, do you want love." ” At present, the number of bronze cannons in the Han Kingdom is nearly 100, and the bronze cannons made in advance were put into the battle to destroy Yan, and the 30 guns where Liu Yan transferred to Ran Min were made later.
Something is better than nothing, Ran Min smiled and sneered at Liu Yan for cleaning, the firearms unit played its prestige in the battle to destroy Yan, and everyone who has seen it knows what the artillery fire is looking at, so the important unit Liu Yan said to give it, a bit like he should look like he wants to kill the hero "Give the most lively funeral to the most elite troops of the Qiang tribe, and after the end of the Dingxiang War, Yongzeng led the army into Xiliang."
Liu Yan didn't want Ran Min to rob Xie An's job: "Qiang and Di joined the army and used the basin as a place for cultivation and rest, and An dared to constantly attack Longyou and other places.
The widow did not want to hear from them again. ” Ran Min is more relieved, after the battle of Dingxiang, he will continue to lead the army to fight, it is really not a matter that the king will appoint to clean, if he really cleanses, he will not let people lead the army. got what he wanted, even more than he thought, Ran Min happily left the palace, and after he returned, he scolded those alarmist retainers, and soon the news from his side spread.
The king felt that the world was decided, and if he wanted to purge anyone, it would definitely be those generals who commanded the army, and those who did not command the army were actually the least dangerous.
When all kinds of people heard that Ran Min was going to Miyagi, the people who knew what they were going to ask were scared half to death, and there was no shortage of people who were ready to commit suicide, just hoping that their families would not be implicated after their deaths.
Waiting to learn that Ran Min not only didn't have any, but also got a task to lead the army to end the Qian clan, and Dingxiang would continue to lead the army to Longyou after the matter was finished, and the rumors that Liu Yan would be purged were self-defeating at that moment.
The purges are those who are big enough to think about their own ambitions and extend their fears.
Even if Liu Yan doesn't want people to panic, he can't appease people for no reason, and let the situation develop.
He recalled Ji Chang, Ran Min and others, there was an unspeakable purpose, Ran Min did not come this time, and Ji Chang, who was signaled in a few days, will also come.
The various ethnic groups that originally invaded the Central Plains have been wiped out, and those who have fled far away have also fled far away, and it is precisely time for the country to enter the stage of development and construction, and it is not a good thing for officialdom to be panicked, and no one has the heart to work at the same time, and it is impossible to rule out the emergence of fleeing or even a rebellion if it continues to develop.
Such an incident also reminded Liu Yan that if those people didn't have the mind they should have, they wouldn't be so miserable by themselves.
He should think about it, and some of the restrictions that should be there should be should be in place.
The people's hearts stabilized again, and Ran Min also led the army to Dingxiang, but Liu Yan began to frequently summon people in the opposition.
The so-called opposition is not an official in the court, and the group of people who can be called opposition people does not refer to ordinary people, but generally refers to groups with reputations.
Liu Yan summoned not people from various families, but people from various schools.
The first to respond were the Confucian schools, which had long been looking forward to the day when they would be summoned by the king himself.
No matter how many schools of thought Confucianism were divided into, they all had the same goal, that is, the rulers continued to exalt Confucianism.
At the time when the new dynasty was at its peak, some of the surviving hundred schools of thought were more urgent than Confucianism, and they had no better chance of changing the fate of their own schools than when the dynasty changed
