7 Seclusion in the mountains

In the first year of Zhongping Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty (AD 184), Dafang Ma Yuanyi and others first gathered tens of thousands of Jingyang disciples, with Zhongchang Shi Fengwei and Xu Feng as internal responders, and agreed to start an uprising inside and outside on March 5th. Unexpectedly, Tang Zhou betrayed him and wrote to the court to inform him. Ma Yuanyi was arrested and was tragically torn apart by a car in Luoyang. The imperial court ordered the governor of Yizhou to capture Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao saw that the incident had been exposed, and Bian Xingye sent messages to all directions, so the eight states of "Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu" came together. The rebels all wore yellow scarves on their heads, which was known as the "Yellow Turban Uprising" in history. Zhang Jiao called himself General Tiangong, his younger brother Zhang Bao was called General Digong, and Zhang Liang was called General Renggong. Wherever the Yellow Turban rebels went, they burned government offices and plundered villages and towns. For a time, prefectures and counties were lost, and officials fled. The whole country responded, and the capital was shocked.

The Eastern Han Dynasty court was panicked and immediately took repressive measures. First, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered the states and counties to set up capitals at the eight passes outside Luoyang - Hangu, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, Xuanyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin. He also ordered General He Jin to lead the left and right Yu Lin troops to garrison the capital pavilion. He also adopted Huangfu Song's suggestion, lifted the ban on the party, pardoned the party members all over the world, and took out Zhongzang money and Xiyuan stable horses. In addition, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed Lu Wei as the North Zhonglang General, Huangfu Song as the Zuo Zhonglang General, and Zhu Jun as the Right Zhonglang General, and mobilized elite troops from all over the country to attack the Yellow Turban Army.

Yingchuan County, where Zhai Yang's hometown is located, has also become one of the battlefields, and the famous Battle of Changshe took place here. First, Bocai defeated Zhu Jun and Huangfusong retreated to Changshe. Then he used the Yellow Turban Army to underestimate the enemy and build a camp with no tactics, burning tens of thousands of people to death with a single fire.

During this period of time, I had lived in seclusion in the mountains and watched with cold eyes for several years. From then on, heroes from all over the world began to show their talents, including Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo.

While paying attention to what's going on in the world, I'm concentrating on reading. At the same time, we educate the children among the refugees around us. The work of gathering young refugees went very smoothly. In just over a year, more than 4,000 people were gathered in three settlement sites, and the maximum number of people at my site was 2,500. Taking into account financial resources and the restriction of keeping the settlement in the mountains secret, even though the food and goods exchanged for wine in the past two years are enough to recruit 10,000 people, in line with the idea of ​​​​saving oneself first and then saving others in troubled times. In accordance with the principle, I ordered all places to stop recruiting refugees. Knowing that such selfish thoughts of mine would make it possible for many people who could survive...

I would rather be a peace dog than a liar!

Most of the teenagers in the settlement where I live are trained by Gao Shun. In the other two places, servants who have been trained by me a few years ago are also assigned to train according to the requirements, and people are regularly sent to inspect the progress.

Gao Shun's requirements are very strict, and he must cooperate with his servants who have been trained in the military for many years. These teenagers soon gained some fighting ability, and the world-famous trap camp began to take shape. The main weapon Gao Shun chose for the trapped camp was the improved sword. The sword is four and a half feet long (Han ruler), with a long triangular shape gradually widening from the tip to the hand grip. It is smaller in shape than the Western two-handed giant sword, but is longer, wider and heavier than the swords currently used by the army. A lot. This design is good for infantry to stab or chop in hand-to-hand combat, but its weakness is that it requires high physical and arm strength, and this type of sword is not suitable for cavalry. It took a lot of trouble and a lot of money to make these swords, and it took four years to get a thousand of them. Due to equipment limitations, a thousand people had to be selected to fall into the camp. Choose another five hundred axemen, three hundred spearmen, three hundred archers, and sixty cavalry. There is nothing we can do with so few cavalry, and war horses are difficult to handle.

The soldiers originally wanted to be trapped in the camp were each equipped with a throwing lance, two boomerangs and a small buckler. According to my idea, once facing the enemy, first use the spear to defeat the enemy's vanguard, then use the boomerang to launch the second strike, and then engage in hand-to-hand combat. However, the results after several experiments were not very satisfactory. Because of the limitation of the effective damage distance of the boomerang, soldiers may not have time to throw the boomerang that requires certain throwing skills after throwing the gun, and the target cannot be hit. It will then fly back, potentially injuring or disturbing the soldier who is drawing his sword. The boomerang was rejected by Gao Shun.

Depressingly, this boomerang is one of the few things I can make myself. And when I suggested that the soldiers be equipped with snares to deal with the cavalry, Gao Shun said that I was making a fool of myself. After bargaining to no avail, they finally took out the identity of the lord and added a wheel rope to everyone's equipment (generally made of leather strips, hemp, rattan, or string, held by hikers or horseback riders, and thrown away when in use). In addition to the long axe, each axeman is equipped with two small axes according to my principle that the first attack must be medium and long-range attacks. I no longer participated in the spearmen and archers, because Gao Shun became increasingly dissatisfied with me dictating what to do.

In addition, based on the principle that men and women can work together without getting tired, I organized specially adopted girls into a female military camp that integrates the functions of the health team and the propaganda team. In addition to teaching them battlefield first aid, he also taught them a musical instrument suitable for the military camp - Allegro. Thinking back to those days, oh yes, the Red Army would just play Allegro on the Long March. It was still good to use such a small thing to boost morale.

When a few pieces of bamboo were made into Allegro and handed over to these little girls, I began to regret it. Because the sound of "crackling, croaking, croaking" has never stopped since I got that thing, and I couldn't even find a quiet place to read. After I made the first allegro by myself, I excitedly said a few words casually in rhythm: "Report to the commander! Your wife is in Taiwan! Taiwan is liberated..." It became a repertoire that they must practice every day. It's over! There are still a few brave people who always surround me and ask where Taiwan is? Why can my wife gain weight as soon as Taiwan is liberated?

In order to prevent these girls from the female barracks from always asking about my personal privacy, I firmly asked each of them to practice martial arts.

After hearing my wise decision, Gao Shun left without even rolling his eyes at me. I can't even figure out who is the master between the two of us.

You don't teach? Hmm...I teach myself. If he doesn't teach anything else, he teaches women self-defense, also called wolf-proofing. You ask me why a grown man can even do this? Despise you! The society in the 21st century is too unsafe. As a man, personal safety is not guaranteed at all, so women must learn self-defense skills. The most important thing is - as a mature man, only when you fundamentally understand women's self-defense can you crack it!

The effect is very obvious. From time to time, you will see those little boys who love to mess with little girls in their spare time. They cover their eyes, limp their legs, and jump away with their legs together. Another surprise is that those boomerangs that Gao Shun scorned showed extraordinary power in the hands of the female barracks. At one time, there were 400 people in the female barracks against the 150-person restricted camp (trapped camp). (The boys cannot use throwing spears and shields) In the simulated confrontation, all the trapped troops were killed before they could rush over! It earned me enough face. At the same time, Gao Shun was so angry that he yelled at them that they were worthless and couldn't move when they saw girls, so they naturally increased the amount of training.
