Chapter 574 Fighting the grass to startle the snake, the interpretation of the solar eclipse (two chapters in one)(1/2)
Except for the first one, the other four news of Yang Xiaomei cannot be considered bad news, or it can be regarded as a change, a change under their control.
At the same time, everyone's understanding of Zhuge Liang was one step further.
Because just from his control over the world, he would never be under the two major staff members. Qing Cang had agreed to his position as a staff member, and after a while, that would probably be realized.
Everyone thinks that Zhuge Liang is indeed a talented person. No wonder Qing Cang called him when he heard his name and wanted to see him. Then he reused it. Talents are everywhere, but they just need to have eyes to discover talents.
It can be said that Qing Cang, with the help of Zhuge Liang, complemented the rule of the entire Chinese country.
At this time, Qing Cang asked again: "But there is any other news?"
Yang Xiaomei agreed: "Yes, news came from the east that the two commanders had already begun to prepare the army. At this time, the navy and the air force had begun to take shape. I believe that more soldiers will join by the end of the year!"
Qing Cang calculated that it was already March 201 AD, which means it would take nearly nine months to complete the assembly.
This progress is pretty good, from zero to one year, and the time and energy required are very huge.
"I understand. It is a big deal to let Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei build the two commanders, which is a big deal!"
"Yes! The navy under Commander Zhao's control is all recruiting coastal people. These people are very good at water and are particularly suitable for naval formation. The selection of air force figures of Commander Dian is even stricter. The first condition is to be able to cross a single-plank bridge at a height of 100 meters. In order to overcome the fear of altitude, the conditions for flying are simulated during the period, and some people will be eliminated."
This kind of aircraft has not been built yet, and no one here knows what it looks like. Everyone is very curious, so when Yang Xiaomei talks about selecting air soldiers, everyone pricks up their ears and listens.
"Very good, let them increase their welfare, the faster the army is, the better! I will need them soon!"
The distance you can reach determines the size of your dominance. If Qing Cang can't even leave this land, then what else can you talk about unifying the whole world? How can you stand at the top of the world? Those are empty talk, so he wants to develop these two armies. Where there is a sea, there will be Qing Cang's Chinese army, and where there is a sky, in addition to birds, there will also be Chinese planes.
"yes!"
"By the way, there is news about Xun Youke?"
Long before, Xun Yu had some contact with Xun You. The two uncles and nephews had the same talents. If they could get his help, it would be even better.
Yang Xiaomei said again: "Return to Emperor Qing, Xun You has not replied yet. According to the news from the front, our letters have been sent, but for some reasons, many letters have been intercepted by Sima Yi. At this time, the guards of Jin State have become very strict, and it becomes extremely difficult for our intelligence personnel to enter the city of Xudu."
You should know that Xun You originally defected to Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao's army is owned by Sima Yi, so Xun You naturally works under Sima Yi. Over the past few days, they have worked hard and finally got some contact with Xun You, but they did not expect to encounter Sima Yi's stop.
Qing Cang believed that it was possible that Sima Yi had learned about his actions long ago, otherwise how could he send out the letter without knowing it and would be intercepted.
This news is undoubtedly bad news, which proves that there are fewer opportunities to get in touch with Xun You now. In this way, it directly increases the difficulty of recruitment. If you haven’t even met anyone yet, why are you talking about recruitment?
Guo Jia said straight: "What! Then, the possibility of contacting Xun You becomes very low."
He was right because he had already alerted the enemy. Sima Yi must have known that China now needs to recruit Xun You, and Xun You's strength is very strong, so he will definitely stop it.
Qing Cang said: "It seems that this matter has to be discussed for a long time."
Sometimes, such things are in a hurry at all, and if you are anxious, you may do something bad.
At this time, Xun Yu suddenly said, "I know Xun You has a good friend named Zhong Yao, who is also planning a business in Xudu at this time. It is easier to get close to Zhong Yao."
Zhong Yao was extraordinary in his early years and was extremely intelligent. He served as the Minister of the Shangshu and the Minister of the Huangmen. He helped Emperor Xian of Han to return to the east and was granted the title of Marquis of Dongwuting. Later, he was entrusted with important tasks by Cao Cao and became the Sili lieutenant, guarding Guanzhong, and made outstanding achievements. He was promoted to the former military advisor for his merits. He was actually a native of Cao's camp. After Cao Cao's death, he faded out of the political circle, but was valued by Sima Yi.
Xun You and Zhong Yao are really good friends, and the friendship between them is very deep.
Guo Jia asked: "Staff General Xun means to convince Xun You through Zhong Yao, so as to achieve the purpose of persuasion?"
Someone asked: "But how to connect the relationship between Zhong Yao?"
Guo Jia continued: "I know that Zhong Yao was originally a member of Cao's camp, but now he is valued by Sima Yi. Although he has not stated whether he will help Sima Yi, judging from his performance, he is also focused on Jin. It is naturally difficult to make him convince Xun You."
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "No, I just contacted Xun You through Zhong Yao and said that I wanted to meet Xun You. Then we asked Xun You to come out to meet, and I can convince you."
Xun Yu wanted to make an appointment with Xun You through his uncle and nephew, which seemed reasonable. As Xun You's friend, Zhong Yao was really hard to give up on family affection and would agree. In fact, as long as Xun Yu made up some unexplainable things, how could he tell the truth of Zhong Yao?
It is still less difficult to just ask Xun You to come out to meet. If you use letters, you may still be discovered by Sima Yi.
I have to say that Xun Yu's method is indeed easy to use.
Zhuge Liang said: "If you go like this, there may be danger!"
Xun Yu insisted on his own opinion, and he said, "It's okay, as the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Now in the troubled times, what can you do without danger?"
Then, he said to Qing Cang: "What does Emperor Qing think?"
"If Staff Xun comes out, I naturally don't have to worry. But everything is absolutely absolutely true, so you should be careful."
Xun Yu immediately said, "Please don't worry, I will definitely be careful."
Qing Cang had no reason to stop him. After all, Xun You was extremely strong, which was the talent he needed. So he agreed to Xun Yu.
"That's it, Xun You'll leave this matter to you."
"yes!"
Since she said this, Qing Cang continued to ask: "Is there any news about Wen Qizi on the other list?"
After all, it has been a few months since then, and these people have been found long ago.
Yang Xiaomei said: "Reporting to Emperor Qing, there are about three people on the list who are interested in joining China, but the others have not yet expressed their intention to express themselves. As for Wen Qizi, he regards himself as a noble person. If he wants to ask for help, he may have to take some time."
"If you need any cooperation, just say that, your intelligence department will take action, and you can use all the materials from our country of China."
Now the recruitment is probably left to Yang Xiaomei to handle. This is their intelligence department's business.
"clear!"
Speaking of this, Qing Cang remembered how well the railway was built, so he said: "Let Bai Ye come in!"
Bai Ye soon arrived at the meeting hall. Qing Cang asked as soon as he saw it: "Minister Bai, what is your progress in recent research on railways, ships and aircraft?"
Bai Ye said: "Qingdi! The railway has been built in total for 800 miles. We have requisitioned local farmers and some prisoners have built railways for us. As our territory grows bigger, I believe the speed will be faster and faster. Among them, Minister Xu also gave us a lot of help. The steel plant has been expanded several times. At the same time, our demand for minerals is constantly increasing. All of this is due to the extension of the railway, which makes our transportation capacity unprecedented."
Not only Qing Cang, but others were very excited about Bai Ye's answer. With the extension of the railway, it means that Qing Cang's control over the city he occupied has reached the strongest level.
"Good done, what about other things?"
"As for the ship, we have invested tens of thousands of people to study and design, and have built the first ship to come out, and we will prepare for a trial sail in a few days."
"You also need to cooperate with Minister Wang to load the most advanced cannons on top!"
"Yes! And on the plane, since it is new and there is nothing to learn from, the progress in this aspect is relatively slow, but we have invested nearly 50,000 people to participate. The preliminary project is almost the same, and we are preparing to conduct trial production and flights in the second quarter."
"The same is true for airplanes, I want an airplane that can be attacked!"
"Yes, we have also entered the process!"
It has to be said that Bai Ye is now an elite figure, especially in the development of science and technology. He has reached a state of progress. And as time goes by, new intellectuals will continue to be invested, and they are standing on their huge shoulders. In this way, as time goes by, the progress of research will only be fast and not slow!
"Very good, keep working hard. When necessary, don't be stingy with money. If you should be rewarded, you will get rewards. As long as you do these two projects well, I will give you whatever you need, as long as I can do it!"
This is Qing Cang's promise. I believe that when scientific researchers hear this kind of news, they will definitely become extremely excited.
Just as Qing Cang was about to say something, he heard a lot of noisy sounds at the door. So Qing Cang asked, "What's wrong outside?"
Then a guard went to confirm, and after a while, he returned and said, "The sky is gradually dimming, for some reason!"
At this time, the hall of the convention was very bright because they lit the lights. When Qing Cang heard this, he left the hall first, and saw that the sky was gradually getting darker in the east.
He knew what this was. This was a solar eclipse, also known as a solar eclipse, which was the movement of the moon to the middle of the sun and the earth. If the three were in a straight line, the moon would block the light that the sun shone towards the earth, and the black shadow behind the moon just fell on the earth, and the solar eclipse occurred.
The ancients were more superstitious about this situation, and most likely they thought that something bad was going to happen.
The ancients were afraid of solar eclipses and believed that solar eclipses were "the sun of the dogs eating the sun". However, given the important role of the sun on humans, people must take effective measures to save them, such as using the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers to drive away the "evil dogs".
That's why there is such a noisy sound outside.
Not only the people, but also the people in the chamber. These people all showed a look of worry because they thought it was a bad omen and something would definitely happen.
So, Guo Jia spoke first, and he said: "For such a solar eclipse, I think we have some policies to ease."
His proposal aroused the approval of everyone, and some people said, "The sun is the sky, and I, Emperor Qing, is our heaven. After being covered, it must be a bad omen!"
"I also agree with the opinions of Staff Guo, please consider it carefully!"
At this time, more and more people joined in, and they advised Qing Cang to slow down some policies.
Among these people, Zhuge Liang was unmoved.
Because he knew astronomy, civilization and geography, it was different from these people. Although he showed a glimmer of concern on his face, he did not persuade Qing Cang.
And Qing Cang knew that this was a natural reaction and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Qing Cang also felt confused about Zhuge Liang's performance.
"Kong Ming, everyone advised me to slow down, why are you not moved?"
"Return to Emperor Qing! The solar eclipse is the natural law of the celestial body, and it is not enough to be afraid!"
When he said this, it really aroused some opposition from some people. Some people told him that he had ulterior motives. How could he lie to others this day?
Some people also say that someone must have angered the sky, which made the sky blocked.
...
There are many different opinions. If an ordinary emperor is aware of these people's words, after all, if there are too many people, then I believe it.
"Okay, stop talking. If the solar eclipse is angering the sky! Then how many people in the world are the emperors? Did they also make the sky angry?"
Qing Cang knew that if they were popularized with them, these people probably wouldn’t understand it, but what if they compared others, such as Liu Bei, Sima Yi and Sun Wu?
After saying this, everyone was speechless. Everyone was the emperor. There were so many emperors in the world. Is it just me who made the anger of the gods? No!
At this time, Qing Cang didn't know that Zhuge Liang's eyes became different when he looked at him. It can be said that Qing Cang's talent is not low, and he knows how to adapt, unlike some people who are stubborn.
To be continued...
