Chapter 773 The Daughter Who Came Thousands of Miles Away, Any history is contemporary history.Quan Xu actually knew very well that the Han Dynasty, which swept across the Quartet and fought the Huns who did not dare to go south, was actually not much in the standing army.In the case of the center, light?
Xun is in charge of the palace portal, and there are generals such as Tiger Ben Zhonglang and Yulin Zhonglang under his command.Cai Qian's "Hanyi" records that Hu Ben Zhonglang will "have 1,500 main tiger Ben, no permanent members, up to 1,000 people" and "Yu Lin Lang 128 people"; Ying Shao's "Han Guanyi" "Yulin left supervisor Yulin 800 people, right prison master 900 people" - above, Guangluxun led the troops about 1,000 people in Huben and 1,828 people in Yulin, a total of 2,828 people.Wei Wei "is in charge of the palace gate guards, and the palace is in charge".In addition to the unknown number of guards led by Sima Ling, the rest of the subordinate officials include the guard order of the North and South Palaces, the left and right Duhou and the Sima of the Zhugong Gate, with a total of about 2,454 guards.
(See Li Xian et al.'
s note "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Hundred Official System") in the Northern Army, the "five battalions in charge of supervision", belonging to the five captains of the Tun cavalry, the Yue cavalry, the infantry, Changshui, and the shooting sound, with a total strength of 3,536 people.Zhi Jinwu "is in charge of the palace outside the ring division is very hot and water", "Han Guan" recorded that "Jin Wuti rode 200 people, held 520 halberds", and led a total of 720 guards.According to Ma Duanlin's "Literature General Examination and Military Examination II", "but the number of soldiers at the city gate is not examined, and the number of soldiers led by Sima Gongye Gate pushes it, the more than 702 people, the less than 30 people, and the 12 gates stop at one school, which must not be where the heavy troops are, but no more than 3,000 people", according to this inference, the strength is calculated as 3,000 people.In total, the total strength of the Central Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty is about the same as that of people.Wang Lang once said that "in the old days, Tiger Ben, Yulin, five battalions of soldiers and guards, combined with ten thousand people", this record is generally consistent with the estimation conclusion.Of course, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty founded the Eight Captains, and in fact, the number of troops was also 10,000.However, during the Han Dynasty, once the war was needed, the emperor of the Han Dynasty sent troops to conscript, he could recruit troops from various counties and from the people, and the Western Han Dynasty mainly relied on the good families of the six counties.But this common people have the custom of practicing martial arts, even if the soldiers who are temporarily conscripted, the war with foreign countries is very smooth, and even the prestige of killing a Han and a Wuhu is killed.Of course, the same is true of the Tang Dynasty, taking the territory of the Tang Dynasty as an example, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, the Tang Dynasty only has 367 Zhichong Mansions, and the Zhichong Mansion is divided into the Upper Zhichong Mansion (1,200 people), the Middle Folding Chongfu (1,000 people), and the Lower Zhichong Mansion (800 people), even if all of them are Shangzhichong Mansions, the total strength of the Tang Army does not exceed 440,000 people at most, of which 16 guards are stationed in Guanzhong, totaling about 180,000 horses.In the same way, it occupies an absolute advantage in the country.The spirit of martial arts is the strongest embodiment of a country's combat effectiveness and military combat effectiveness, this is because since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Han people themselves are still martial, even in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the Sima Jin Dynasty was cowardly and incompetent, and the Han people can be strong in the local area, and they can also be embarrassed, for example, Fan Yang Zu Li Northern Expedition, Jin Yuan Emperor Sima Rui not only soldiers and horses, not to give equipment, only to give a Jianwei general name, three thousand silk, as a result, Zu Ti with the entourage of the villagers, almost recovered Henan.Liu Kun took a thousand parts and stayed in Jinyang alone for 14 years.No matter how well the army is trained, if the people do not have the spirit of practicing martial arts and daring to fight to the death, the result will be completely different.Take the present as an example, in my heart, even the level of weapons and equipment of the Anglo-French army is far inferior to that of the whole army.However, the Qing army led by Huang Taiji dared to have the courage to charge against the rain of bullets, and if Quan Xu reduced the firepower of the whole army to the level of the British and French forces, the Manchu cavalry would have a chance to rush up.The point is that during that period, the Qing Dynasty had lost its martial spirit.The Han people are already martial, but they have been able to crush the surrounding areas since the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties.However, in the Song Dynasty, the rulers adopted the strategic national policy of governing the people as sheep, and continued to suppress and weaken this martial spirit, which became more serious in the later period.Of course, in the early middle and early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the status of martial artists, you know, the small flag is from the seventh grade, and the general flag is the captain of fifty people, which is the same level as the county order.It's just a pity that after the civil fort, the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty rose and comprehensively suppressed the military attachés, not to mention the six products of hundreds of households, and the five products of thousands of households, which could no longer raise their heads in front of the county officials.Although there are many countries around the world that have legal guns in later generations, especially in beautiful countries, where shootings occur one after another, the problem is that once the war is used as mobilization, beautiful countries can get a large number of well-trained troops.Quan Xu also needed the people of the Ming Dynasty to legally own weapons and practice martial arts.First, after Quan Xu unified the world, he could reduce the number of troops, and he felt that it was enough to have 16 divisions in reserve, a total of 113 brigades, and the troops to be kept at about one million.Once the war is needed, just like the militia troops in Liaodong and Hetao this time, because the civilian people hold weapons and participate in military training, Quanxu mobilized nearly two million militiamen to participate in transportation or support battles in this war, and they performed very well, and the combat effectiveness of the militia is not weaker than the so-called elite troops of Zhu Daming.Revitalizing the Han and Tang dynasties is Quanxu's goal.This goal, he does not allow anything to change.Of course, not banning weapons does not mean not managing.Quan Xu decreed that the people of the Ming Dynasty could have knives, guns, sticks, swords, muskets, bows and crossbows and other weapons, but they were not allowed to take them out of the market and into public places to swagger through the market.You can practice martial arts at home or in the wild, but you should pay attention to safety and avoid injuring innocent people as much as possible.As for Yan Chongwen's problem, he is not strict with his godson, and there is no big mistake in reading him, so he retains his official body for burial.After Quanxu formulated a system for the legal possession of weapons by the people, he immediately began to skip work.Shen Mingze originally wanted to persuade Quan Xu in private, after all, in his heart, it is not a good thing for the people to hold weapons for the rule, once the people hold weapons, otherwise some careerists will rise to the top and shout, and the world will be opposed, then it will be okay!
But he searched all over the Forbidden City, but he didn't find Quan Xu.Not only Quan Xu, but even Li Yanqing was not there, and a group of attendants of the Royal Guard left the Forbidden City.Shen Mingze also wanted to inquire about Quan Xu's whereabouts, but he was blocked: "What does Lord Shen want?"
”That's a bit heavy.In the past, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was under the nose of Wenchen, and he said something unpleasant, what time did Chongzhen pee every day, and he was fortunate to have a nobleman, and Wenchen was all Qing.Now, Jeonwook is out of their control.If you want to ask where Quan Xu went, it is actually very simple, Quan Xu did not leave the capital, but went to the Gun Bureau that was changed to the Ming Equipment Department, and went there to follow Mo Hua to make the flying wooden birds.When Quan Xu first came over, he thought it was a great invention at first, but it turned out that it was just a simple version of a glider.The whole body adopts a hollow alloy steel structure, and the canvas is used as the wing, and the driving power is actually a pedal, similar to the rotary wing of a bicycle.After testing, the glider did not fly, mainly because the horsepower of the human drive was not enough.Just as Quan Xu and Mo Hua were discussing how to improve, a huge fleet slowly arrived at the port of Tianjin.This is a fleet belonging to the Republic of Venice, as the leader, it is still Helena, but now Helena has become plump, and there is a feeling of plump breasts and fat buttocks.Arriving in Daming from Venice, it took more than eight months of ocean sailing under normal tailwinds, but Helena's voyage was not smooth this time, and they were pursued by the Ottoman navy.Of the twenty-five armed merchant ships, three were sunk by the Ottoman navy, and one was lost in a storm.Helena made a big circle from the sea, finally reached the Indian Ocean, and encountered British pirates in the waters of Sri Lanka, and in desperation, Helena had to bypass the Strait of Malacca.It doesn't matter if this detour, it is nearly twice the voyage, the baby girl who was a few months old at the beginning, is now almost two years old, and she looks very cute, she herself is pulling the rice with a spoon, and asked curiously: "Mom, aren't we going to Lushun?"
Why did you come to Tianjin?
”Catherine, Quan, Dandoro's words were round, and she looked at Helena with big watery eyes.Helena shrugged her shoulders and sighed helplessly: "In the past, your father was still the governor of the East of the Ming Dynasty, and now, it is said, he has become the emperor!"
”"What is an emperor?
Can you eat it?
”Well, Helena didn't know how to explain to this foodie daughter.Finally waiting for Catherine to finish eating, Helena carried Catherine down the suspension ladder and boarded the dock in Tianjin.The port of Tianjin did not embarrass the Venetian fleet, because Helena had a complete customs clearance paperwork, and the customs clearance document still had Quan Xu's signature.Helena took her servants and hired a dozen carriages and began to walk along the official road from Tianjin to Beijing towards the city of Beijing.Although it has been a long time, the traces of the aftermath of the war have not been completely erased, and in some places you can still see the traces of shell hits, or trees and houses burned by the flames.However, on the whole, this official road is being divided into two, one side is not wide but can be walked, and on the other side, a large number of people are struggling to build the road.Not just roads, but also railways.Sitting in the carriage, Catherine looked even more active: "Mom, there are so many people!
”"yes!"
Helena sighed a little: "There are a lot of people in the Ming Dynasty, and they can exceed the total population of our Venice city-state republic with a random city. ”This is actually unfair, because the Daming cities that Helena saw, without exception, are all on the coast, and they have all arrived at the Daimyo's mansion, which is a densely populated and highly economically developed area in the Ming Dynasty.At that time, from Tianjin to Beijing at this time, it became a huge construction site, building railways, dredging ditches, and some people were building their own houses.There are busy people everywhere, and despite the cold, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for work.Catherine watched for a long time, and was a little tired from it, so she slowly fell asleep in Helena's arms.Helena, however, was a little imagimatic.I have a suite at the end of the Ming Dynasty
