generation hero

Tanhu Villa is the largest manor of the Yuan family. In addition to Tanhu Villa, the Yuan family also has several small villas in Jiyang. The scale is not as large as that of Tanhu Villa, and they occupy fertile land.

General Yuan's family has a simple population, and their expenses are not extravagant. Most of the income from the property is used to support the family soldiers, and some support the clan.Naturally, the biggest expense was the hundreds of private soldiers at home.

Zhou Xianpei heard that Yuantang was taking care of the family business, and fearing that Yuantang would be deceived, he specially sent a planner from Zhou's family to teach Yuantang to read the accounts.

General Yuan was away all year round, and there was no mistress at home, and there were some incidents of domestic servants deceiving their masters for selfish greed, but they were not serious, and they could be cleared up after some rectification.

After many years of operation, the Yuan family manor has accumulated a lot of surplus, and the whole family does not have to worry about starvation in ordinary years of famine.

Zhuangzhong workshop can produce silk, lacquerware and other daily necessities, so you don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

After roughly inspecting the output of the Yuan family's various villas, Yuan Tang felt a kind of unreal satisfaction in his heart, feeling that he could completely close the door and live a warm life of farming, and continue to be an otaku in ancient times.

Yuan De did not forget to remind Yuan Tang: "The general has been away for many years, and the craftsmen at home are lazy. Now that Alang is in charge, he should also urge the iron workshop at home to make a batch of bows, arrows, swords, etc. according to fashionable styles, and then order the leather workshop to make a new batch of armor. And horse armor, add new and replace the old, and clean up the appearance." Yuan Tang felt that he really couldn't be called a little general, and Feng Cong teased him with a few words, but he couldn't stand being called that every day by his servants at home, so he asked Yuan De and his family They all changed their titles, no longer called the little general, but used ordinary titles such as "Lord Lang" and "A Lang".

The plan sent by the Zhou family also said: "The war in the northern border has not stopped. Although the Xia army occupies Zerou, Jiyang is always too close to the northern line. Ruozerou and other places have fallen, and Jiyang has become the frontier again. It is appropriate to go to Guangxi now." Accumulate grain and rice, repair military affairs, and build walls to avoid being attacked."

The dream of farming only lasted for a while, and then it dissipated immediately.

Before the Shangsi Festival, Yuan Tang's intention to inherit the title finally came down. The imperial court rewarded Yuan Tang for his act of showing loyalty by returning the title, and encouraged him to inherit General Yuan's behest and so on.Daxia’s nobility system is divided into Duke Hou Bozinan, and there are still Xianghou, Tinghou, Guanneihou and Guanwaihou below the county male.

Yuan Tang was downgraded to be the Marquis of Lan Township, opened the Yuan family ancestral hall to pay respect to the ancestors, and all clan elders elected Yuan Tang as suzerain, so the Yuan family no longer had any objections.

After accepting the title, Yuan Tang invited Yuan Xi to Tanhu Mountain Villa. Yuan Xi felt ashamed and failed to come after inviting him several times. Yuan Tang had no choice but to come to find him in person.

In fact, Xiao Shanzhi pushed Yuan Xi to prevent Yuan Tang from attacking the noble, not because he colluded with Yuan Xi or other members of the Yuan family, but just to impress the Shen family and muddy the water. The county family put too much thought into it.

The reason why he chose Yuan Xi was probably because apart from Yuan Tang, the Yuan family that Xiao Shanzhi had seen the most was Yuan Xi.

Knowing this, Yuan Tang wanted to find Yuan Xi.After being reminded by Xiao Shanzhi, Yuan Tang also discovered that Yuan Xi was one of the few members of the Yuan family who had made great achievements in martial arts. In the past few years, Wei has been very familiar with the city defense and military equipment. It is expected that if General Yuan is still there, he will find a chance to support Yuan Xi if he finds such a good seed.

If the family is to prosper, Yuantang alone cannot support it.

After seeing Yuan Xi, Yuan Tang first contacted the brotherhood, saying that he knew that everything was Xiao Shanzhi's fault, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Xi. He hoped that the brothers would not have any grievances because of external causes, and then asked Yuan Xi if he wanted to join the army.

At present, Ji Yang has a county mansion but no military mansion. Yuan Xi, as a city lieutenant, is considered a military officer in the county.In the county government, the opportunity to make meritorious service is naturally inferior to that of the generals in the military government.

The Yuan family still has some connections, so they can recommend Yuan Xi to the army, but without General Yuan's care, they will have to rely on Yuan Xi to work hard in the future.

After hearing this, Yuan Xi's cheeks and eyes turned red, and he talked to Yuan Tang about his brotherhood, saying that he wanted to go to the army, he was not afraid of being taken care of by others, and he only wanted to make contributions and shine on his family.

With Yuan Xi's approval, Yuan Tang wrote a letter to General Yuan's old friend, and also sent a letter to Shen Jingxuan, asking Shen's family to recommend him, and soon Yuan Xi was appointed by the Huizhou Military Mansion.

When he arrived in Huizhou, Yuan Xi could only start as a team director. Of course, it was not as good as joining the army or being a Sima, but it was also much better than starting as an ordinary soldier.

Yuan Tang asked Yuan De to choose four people from the family soldiers to go with Yuan Xi as his confidant soldiers, no matter how many people there were, it was not suitable for his position and status, so there were only four people.

Yuan Xi was very grateful, and pulled Yuan Tang back to red eyes, and took Yuan's family soldiers to leave Ji Yang by boat.

After finishing this important event, Yuantang returned to Tanhu Villa.

When writing a letter to Shen Jingxuan, Yuan Tang deliberately wrote an extra letter and asked Shen Jingxuan to forward it to Feng Cong, but he did not see Feng Cong's letter when he replied.

I waited and waited, but there was still no reply after more than a month.Shen Jing's announcement letter did not specifically mention Feng Cong, so nothing should have happened, maybe Feng Cong was too lazy to reply.

Yuan Tang also began to worry about his future. After the filial piety period, he would also serve in the army.

It's hard to say about the position. After the death of General Yuan, the Yuan family only relied on some old friends.Even if you have a family background, you must have military merits if you want to be promoted.

The trouble is that Yuantang can't fight.

Taking advantage of the leisurely life in the villa, he began to practice riding, archery and swimming with Yuan De.The waterways in Daxia are criss-crossed, sailors are better than cavalry, and most of the soldiers in the army are good at water.If you want to make military achievements, first of all, your own abilities must not be bad, otherwise you will not be able to save your life if you go back and forth on the battlefield, so there is no chance to make achievements.Yuan Tang is also not sure whether he can kill the enemy on the battlefield. It is right to master the skills first.

Yuan Tang's physique is not as good as Yuan Tang's when he was a teenager, and the training can only focus on strengthening his physique at the beginning.

The Yuan family has worked hard on the road of military generals for many years, and now they are basically in the army. Yuan De and a group of soldiers are looking forward to returning to the battlefield. Inspired by them, Yuan Tang has to work hard.

Apart from practicing martial arts, Yuan Tang spent the rest of his time studying. He finally had the opportunity to learn about the world through books and letters left by General Yuan. When he didn't understand, he would ask Yuan De and Zhou Xianpei. He didn't go out very much before, so sometimes Yuan Tang asked some simple questions, so it's not surprising.

The dynasty of Yuantang's country was named Xia, and the country's surname was Feng. It was a court that was partial to the southern land.

More than a hundred years ago, the Great Xia ruled the world. Due to the rivalry between the brothers, it was divided into the Northern Xia and the Southern Xia.

Since Great Xia was divided into north and south, many people from the north moved to the south. For more than a hundred years, the call for the recovery of rivers and mountains in Nanxia has never stopped.

Ten years ago, Beisheng was gradually unified, and it took more than two years to prepare for the war. Then it sent troops to attack Nanxia, ​​but was stopped by Nanxia's Northern Expeditionary Army. Now Beisheng and Nanxia have gradually fallen into a stalemate.

Nanxia is still paddling the river and guarding, while Beisheng gallops inside and outside the long river.

Knowing that at this time the war is still dominated by cold weapons, Yuan Tang is so happy, feeling that the opportunity to cheat has finally come.

He summoned craftsmen, borrowed an alchemist from the Zhou family, and excitedly started to develop it.

After exchanging ideas with the alchemist, Yuan Tang knew that the alchemist already had it at this time. The alchemists all knew that burning sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal together would cause a fire. Perhaps due to the problem of purity, it could only achieve the effect of burning. , this prescription is only used as one of the alchemy experience, and has not been applied to other places.

□□ and Ratio Yuantang knew, but how to purify it was not very clear. I vaguely remembered that I had read time-traveling novels before, which needed to be heated and filtered, and I forgot after reading it.He can only tell the craftsmen some ideas, and ask the craftsmen to study and experiment.

Temporarily unable to make bombs that would explode, Yuantang changed direction and asked craftsmen to make flammable projectiles. In order to enhance the burning effect and time, the craftsmen tried to mix inflammable materials such as oil into the guns. Back, quite some results.

The power of □□ pills is far worse than that of explosive □□□, and it also depends on the timing to use them. Yuan Tang decided to make some first, in case of emergencies.

He doesn't know how to fight, and when it comes to the critical moment, the more prepared he is, the more likely he will win.

Yuan Tang also thought that if he could really make a drug with better effect, maybe he could dedicate the formula to the court in exchange for a meritorious reward, which seemed easier than going into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

Of course, the premise is that it can be developed.

When practicing riding and archery, Yuan Tang discovered that the cavalry in Er Shi were different from the cavalry he was familiar with. Most of them were heavy armored cavalry.

This kind of cavalry is not as flexible as the light cavalry that Yuan Tang is more familiar with. They are very powerful in combat, rolling away like a torrent of steel in action, crushing the infantry formation with quality and speed. Changshuo is the most used one.

Yuan Tang was puzzled, and asked Yuan De: "If the cavalry don't wear heavy armor, or use light armor, wouldn't they be faster and more flexible?"

Yuan De frowned, thinking, and said: "How can you resist heavy crossbows and slashing without wearing armor? Besides, if you encounter the enemy's chariot formation, how can you charge away with Qingqi. Qingqi can be used for sneak attack, disrupting the formation, and sending messages." After a pause, he continued: "The Yichi people have trained a kind of beast king cavalry. They wear leather armor or silk armor on their horses. The speed is indeed faster, but they are still invincible when encountering heavy crossbows."

Yuan Tang knew nothing about how cavalry fought. Although he had ideas, they were very vague. He heard from Yuan De that heavy armored cavalry played a significant role in the army, and they already had very mature tactics.Light cavalry is not as effective as heavy cavalry on the battlefield.

Yuan Tangkong has scattered knowledge concepts and lacks practical experience, so he has a deeper understanding of his own incompetence.

Why is it so difficult to open a hook?

Despite this, Yuantang decided to let the workshop make a batch of stirrups first, at least let him use the double-sided stirrups first, he would not dare to ride a horse without stirrups, as for how to use Qingqi in tactics, he still had to explore.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year again, and Yuan Tang had traveled to this world for a year, and finally fully adapted to life here.When the autumn wind is bleak, he will think of the thrilling battle of Jucheng, the difficulties from Ze Rou to Ji Yang, Feng Cong and Shen Jingxuan.

Yuan Tang sent several letters to Feng Cong this year, but there was no reply. He wrote to Shen Jingxuan to inquire, and Shen Jingxuan said that Feng Cong had not returned to Shangyun after being taken to the capital by the Empress Dowager.

In the New Year, Beijing Central issued an edict to all states and counties, ordering the nobles from all over the country to select their children to study in Beijing Taixue.

Yuan Tang's two concubine brothers, one is five years old and the other is under one year old, he is the only one who meets the requirements.

The author has something to say:

After seeing some information, I changed the stirrup part, and I was going to cry myself stupidly.Although I can’t verify it, let’s try to get as close to common sense as possible with my shallow knowledge.
