Chapter 686: Popular Science Lectures
"The top scholar of Xuanwu."
The first thing Ouyang Shuo did when he arrived in the dynasty was to enfeoff the imperial examination to show good fortune.
"Xuan, Wu's top scholar Niu Da, enter the palace~~~"
A little leaned, a burly general quickly stepped into the hall, and did not dare to raise his head. He knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed in a rough voice: "I am Niu Da, pay homage to you."
There was a hint of trembling in the voice.
Niu Da was just an ordinary camp commander in Longxiang Army. Before that, he had never had the chance to appear in the court, let alone the first court meeting in the territory and the first person to be summoned by the emperor.
This alone is enough for Niu Da to brag about his whole life.
"Get up!" Ouyang Shuo signaled to Xuanzhao of Bainanpu.
Bai Nanpu met and took out the edict prepared early in the morning, "The emperor ordered that the top scholar Niu Da, the top scholar in martial arts, was the bravest army, and specially appointed as the fifth-rank general Zhaowu, and was promoted to the commander of the Fifth Division of the Imperial Guard Corps, and it took effect immediately."
A burst of ecstasy flashed across Niu Da's face, and he bowed again: "Thank you for your grace!"
This upright military man did not hide his excitement at all. When the old fox ministers present saw him, they shook their heads and smiled, some of whom were admired and some were contemptuous.
The top military scholar in the army was promoted to the division commander. Du Ruhui, the Director of the General Administration of Military Affairs, had promised a long time ago before the competition. However, the specific army to which corps were arranged to be served will be decided by the emperor himself.
Du Ruhui's previous opinion was to transfer Niu Da to the Second Corps of the Longxiang Army. After all, Niu Da was born in the Longxiang Army, so the obstacles to serving in the Second Corps would be smaller.
The battalion was at the division commander, but it was a qualitative leap.
To put it bluntly, the battalion commander mainly uses force to shock the troops, and when the division commander reaches the division, he only depends on his brain. Niu Da ascended and skipped the brigade commander's experience in the middle. It is really not possible to deal with it.
Du Ruhui's move is a safe plan.
However, Ouyang Shuo had a new idea, and the position of division commander of the Fifth Division of the Imperial Guard Corps was vacant. Therefore, he simply transferred Niu Da to the Imperial Guard Corps, which can be regarded as an example for the entire army.
Imperial Guards, Territory Ace Legion.
The division commander of the Imperial Guard Corps is incomparable to ordinary division commanders.
In this way, it is no wonder that Niu Da was so ecstatic. Niu Da had already jumped two levels in a row and joined the Imperial Guard Corps, which was undoubtedly a one-step success.
As for whether he can be competent, it is not Niu Da's consideration for the time being. In Niu Da's eyes, whoever has a big fist in the army is the boss, and whoever dares to disobey will hit until the other party is convinced.
This is Niu Da’s military logic, simple, rough, and sometimes very effective.
In the next period of time, I think something interesting will happen. Fortunately, there is a god general Huo Qubing on it, so there should be no major problems.
Ouyang Shuo stood up and took a tray from Bai Nanpu.
On the tray, there was a set of golden armor, which was the Mingguang armor replaced by Ouyang Shuo.
"This armor is the armor I wore before, and I am now rewarded to you. Don't let go of my expectations." Ouyang Shuo claimed to be "I" for the first time, and according to his previous promise, he gave the top martial artist a special reward.
After thinking about it, there is nothing more symbolic than this set of armor.
Sure enough, Niu Da was so excited that he took the tray with both hands and placed it on the ground beside him, and respectfully thanked him: "I will never forget the gift from the emperor. I will never dare to forget it, and I will be heartbroken to repay the emperor."
"Okay!" Ouyang Shuo exclaimed and said in a deep voice: "Niu Da obeys the order!"
"Abide by the order!"
Niu Da was unambiguous. As the top scholar in the entire army, what he lacked the most was courage. In this atmosphere, even if the emperor asked him to lead his troops to attack the royal city, Niu Da would not frown.
"[Yunnan City State] The crime of offending my border is unforgivable. Let you lead the Fifth Division of the Imperial Guards Army as a vanguard and gather at the Longxiang Army's headquarters." Ouyang Shuo said astonishingly.
The saying of invasion is just a reason Ouyang Shuo found.
Of course, it is not considered a fabrication.
After all, when you reach Ouyang Shuo's realm, you don't want to lie.
Speaking of which, it was a "special incident" jointly planned by Bai Qi, the Military Information Department and the Honglu Temple.
Month ago, the lord of Qiubeicheng, Mengding County suddenly led his troops to invade the border of Zhen'an County, kill and injure more than 300 people in Zhen'an County, destroy two villages, and then flee back to the territory.
General Bai Qi, who was responsible for guarding the western border of the territory, received the news and was immediately furious and ordered the murderer to be punished.
However, Qiubeicheng is a member of the [Yunnan City State]. If it commits a crime, it will naturally be carried by the city state. Because of the confrontation between Shanhai City and the [Yunnan City State], there are even praises within the city state.
Bai Qi wrote a letter asking [Yunnan City State] to hand over the murderer, but it has not been successful.
In this way, the matter was dragged down. Except for the parties involved, everyone almost forgot about this.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ouyang Shuo came back, he brought up the old things again. When the ministers did not react, he brazenly declared war on the [Yunnan City State].
The purpose of it is really intriguing.
"promise!"
Niu Da didn't think about it. He only longed to make achievements on the battlefield and live up to the grace of the emperor. After the imperial seal was completed, Niu Da was keen to retreat to the last row of military generals.
Ouyang Shuo sat back on his main seat and ordered again: "General Huo!"
"The last one will be here!"
Huo Qubing's eyes flashed with a flash of light, his heroic posture was full of vitality.
When he arrived at the territory, Huo Qubing only led his troops to try his luck in Xingzhou County, and he had no chance to fight on the battlefield.
The war he was looking forward to finally came.
"In this expedition to the [Yunnan City State], the above general Bai Qi is the main general, and you are the former general. You will lead the Imperial Guard Corps to escort supplies, then follow and gather at the Longxiang Army's headquarters." Ouyang Shuo's eyes were a little strange.
Huo Qubing was very sharp and too strong. Therefore, after appointing Huo Qubing to command the Imperial Guards, Ouyang Shuo deliberately or unintentionally hid the general.
In this way, the genius general who became famous all over the world and attracted thousands of girls to love disappeared from the players' vision and hid in the deep palace courtyard of the royal city, and no one could see it.
For a while, protests even appeared on the forum, protesting Ouyang Shuo's hiding behavior.
"Huo Huo is ours!"
"Give me back!"
Similar condemnations have never stopped.
The "Huohuo Support Group" has become one of the most popular support groups on the forum. According to the information detected by the Black Snake Guard, Bai Hua is actually a core member of the support group.
Ouyang Shuo was amused and laughed when he heard the news. It seemed that Bai Hua was really a fan of Huo Qubing. I don’t know what kind of troubles would cause when Huo Qubing went to the battlefield in Yunnan this time.
"Abide by the order!"
Huo Qubing didn't think much about it and accepted the imperial edict with ease.
In any war, the former general was the vanguard, which coincided with Huo Qubing's character. The genius general in history finally came to show his strength.
...
A good court meeting made Ouyang Shuo mobilize before the war. There is no doubt that once the court meeting ends, the news that Shanhaicheng declares war on the [Yunnan City State] will spread throughout the Chinese region.
By then, the entire southern Xinjiang will be shocked, just like the lineup of officials and military generals, which is luxurious. Even so, there are shortcomings.
Whether it is a civil minister such as Xiao He or a military general such as Huo Qubing, the term technology is unfamiliar with it. Apart from Zhang Tingyu, the only one who has truly seen foreign technology is probably the Taiping Army surrendered generals.
Ouyang Shuo's ocean-going voyage gave Xiao He and others a new understanding of the world.
Even so, they still do not have a clear concept of the industrial revolution. Their thoughts remain within the framework of the unified ideological framework of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians.
They basically have no understanding of the role of technology in promoting productivity.
It is precisely because the industrialization of the territory has been progressing slowly, which has greatly dissatisfied Ouyang Shuo. The root cause is that the ministers in the territory do not understand industrialization.
Now that the territory has steam engines, looms, and even aircraft manufacturing technology, it is the time to vigorously develop industry. In the future, the territory's finances, policies, resources, etc. must be tilted towards industry.
In this way, Ouyang Shuo wanted to unify the understanding of the ministers. After all, the one who really does things is the one below. If their thoughts are not open, there is no way to talk about the industrialization of the territory.
Ouyang Shuo can't replace them anymore, let the players take the lead, right?!
That's even more unrealistic.
...
Liu Mo is a technical mate, and even in the court, he didn't say anything. He just took the small blackboard and started teaching the ministers a unique science lecture.
To be honest, Liu Mo has a very deep foundation. Moreover, he is not a rigid person. He knows that the "class" are all a group of novices, and the whole lecture goes from shallow to deep.
With the physical objects and hand-drawn drawings, the more it happens.
Such a scene can be regarded as the first time in ancient times.
