Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 257 School Founded
After the Shangyuan Festival ended, Qin Tian took Ma Zhou to Qin's Village the next day.

During this period of time, Qinjia Village has already selected a piece of land in the village to build a school.

Qin Tian wants to see how the school is doing. If the school is ready, then it's time for the children of Qin's Village to enroll.

It was almost noon when we returned to Qinjia Village.

The villagers were very enthusiastic after seeing Qin Tian.

Murong even hurriedly took Qin Tian and the others to the school.

The school is located in the middle of the village, covering an area of ​​about five acres, which is relatively large. In addition to the teachers, there is also Ma Zhou's residence, which is a very good arrangement for Ma Zhou.

"Oh my god, this classroom is used for class, and there is an open space outside, which can be used for children to play. Didn't you say that you want them to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and physically?"

The village is talking excitedly, and Qin Tian has indeed said this, he hopes that the children of the Qin family village will not only acquire knowledge, but also have a good physique, so when building the school, he asked The people reserved an open space in advance so that the children of the Qin family village could exercise in their free time.

The open space is relatively small, and Qin Tian seems very satisfied. In fact, there are not many people enrolled in Qinjia Village, only about twenty people. Such a place is completely enough. If people in the future If there are too many, it can be expanded, and these are not problems.

After reading it in this way, Qin Tian felt that the school was almost ready, and the school could start next.

He told the situation to Muramasa and Ma Zhou, who was mainly in charge of notifying those who signed up to come to school, and Ma Zhou was in charge of the textbook situation.

Ma Zhou had already told Tang Mu about the question of what class to take. These people in Qinjia Village are not very literate, so in the first few months, I am afraid that they will need to start with literacy and practice. Only after you know these characters and can write them can you learn other things.

For this, Qin Tian agrees, learning this matter must be done slowly, it is simply impossible to become fat with one bite.

After the agreement was made, Ma Zhou stayed in the school to start preparations. Qin Tian had some funds left for the school, and asked Ma Zhou to buy some necessities for the school, such as pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

And Qin Tian returned to Chang'an City again.

Qin Tian didn't care about the affairs of the Qinjia Village School, he just needed to ask Ma Zhou to report on the situation every few days.

And as the days got warmer day by day, at the beginning of February, news suddenly came from Gyeongju.

On this day, Qin Tian was walking on the street when a fast horse suddenly rushed over from a distance: "The border is urgently reported, the party has dispatched troops, and Qingzhou has fallen..."

"Urgent report at the border, Dangxiang dispatched troops, and Gyeongju fell..."

The fast horse galloped, and the people on both sides of the road gave way one after another. Soon, the person who delivered the newspaper disappeared without a trace, but the people in the streets and alleys suddenly became nervous.

"What's going on, Qingzhou has fallen?"

"Doesn't that mean that Tuyuhun broke through Qingzhou, and even though he might go south?"

"How could this be? My Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses are very powerful?"

"Oh, I don't know how many people will die..."

The people were discussing, Qin Tian frowned slightly, he stood in the crowd, suddenly felt a little lost, why did Qingzhou fall?

If Gyeongju falls, the imperial court will probably send people to take it back. After all, Gyeongju's position is very important.

The spring of the eighth year of Wude is destined to be not easy.
-
Before the urgent report was sent to the palace, Li Shimin had already received a report from the spies here at the Qin Palace.

"My lord, Dangxiang sent troops, Qingzhou fell, and General Sima retreated. Now he is only leading a few thousand soldiers to guard the whole prefecture, but it's hard to say whether he can hold it."

After the spies finished speaking, they retreated, and Li Shimin only wanted this result.

In fact, he had already expected this result.

Sima Lin Zhaokong has bravery, but no strategy. In addition, Yang Wengan of Gyeongju committed suicide in Chang'an, the capital city, and the officials in Gyeongju are suffocating.

He definitely doesn't want to fight a war, but Tuyuhun's morale is high.

Now, coupled with the pressure of the Dangxiang family, Gyeongju will definitely not be able to hold on.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't expect Dangxiang before. After all, Dangxiang is just a small tribe in the middle of the cracks. Although the relationship with Datang is not very good, they dare not provoke Datang easily.

Now they are actually cooperating with Tuyuhun, they are really brave enough.

Li Shimin smiled lightly, and then told the people in the house: "If anyone comes to look for this king, just say that this king has a cold and is sick, so he can't see guests."

The servants took orders.

In the palace, the urgent report was quickly sent to the imperial study.

After Li Yuan saw the urgent report, he immediately slumped on the chair.

"Damn it, DANG Xiang even dared to think that I, the Tang Dynasty, would send troops. Then Sima Linzhao is a waste. He can't even defend Qingzhou City. Come, come and go to court for me!"

Civil and military officials went to the court, and everyone looked a little dignified. The Tang Dynasty had fought for so many years, and had never failed as much as it does now. A small Tuyuhun and Dangxiang took away their Gyeongju.

Without Qingzhou, they lost a barrier, which is extremely unfavorable to Datang.

So everyone is a little worried.

Li Yuan scanned around, then frowned: "Where is King Qin?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, His Royal Highness King Qin occasionally feels cold and is recuperating at the residence. I'm afraid he won't be able to go to court."

Li Yuan snorted, and then said: "I don't think you all have understood, Tuyuhun and Dangxiang teamed up to break my Datang Qingzhou. Now that Qingzhou is lost, it is very unfavorable to my Datang. You Aiqing think that I am big What should Don do?"

As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, an official stood up: "My lord, what Tuyuhun and Dangxiang want is nothing more than money and food. I might as well give them to Tang Dynasty and negotiate peace with them. As long as they are willing to withdraw from Gyeongju, everything is fine." Discuss, we will destroy them after our Great Tang regroups."

This official's method is not bad, but just after he finished speaking, Li Yuan immediately shouted: "A small Tuyuhun needs me to negotiate a peace with the Tang Dynasty, so why should I have any face in the Tang Dynasty? Don't mention the matter of peace negotiation, otherwise it will be Don't blame me for being ruthless."

The Tang Dynasty has not reached the point of last resort, and it is absolutely impossible to negotiate a peace. As the founding monarch, Li Yuan will never accept any peace negotiation.

The officials looked at each other and immediately understood Li Yuan's intentions.

"Your Majesty, send me a general from the Tang Dynasty to take back Gyeongju and beat Tuyuhun and Dangxiang hard."

"That's right, we must take back Gyeongju and teach Tuyuhun and Dangxiang a lesson, or where will my Datang's face go?"

"That's right, my Great Tang is much bigger than Tuyuhun, are you still afraid that they won't succeed?"

Everyone said, Li Yuan nodded: "Then, who do you think can be competent for this matter?"
