Datang Longya

Chapter 69
Wei Zheng's cute and stupid words made Leng Feng dumbfounded!

Attacking Mexico?It's true that the Indians can't beat the Tang army, but you have to see where Mexico is!
As far as Datang’s current shipbuilding technology is concerned, even Japan can’t get past it. They can only stroll around the coast. Others have nothing to brag about.Maritime merchants who have survived a hundred deaths have surpassed the level of "cow (crab) force" and reached a new level.

Therefore, if you want to go to Mexico at the junction of South America and North America, you can only go by land, cross the strait from Russia to Alaska, and then follow the coastline south to reach your destination. (Without maps and GPS, you can only walk along the coastline to avoid getting lost)
Even such a route is full of hardships and dangers, the bitter cold in the extreme north, wild beasts, Indians who always want to barbecue outsiders to taste...

Leng Feng shook his head: "You haven't seen the world map, so you don't know how far Mexico is from us. It's a big taboo to aim too high. You can only take action when the time is right."

Wei Zheng's blood was poured with a basin of cold water, and now he couldn't even eat, so he casually broke a thin willow stick from the side of the stone, stuffed it in his mouth, and chewed, his back looked very bleak.

Leng Feng also sighed. After all, this is the Tang Dynasty, and there were no people who died of freezing and starvation in winter, even if the Son of Heaven was in power.The countries along the far north and the bitter cold there are the first difficulties in the trip to Mexico.

I heard that there is cotton in Gaochang, this kind of good stuff should be imported, if the people of Gaochang don’t give it, hehe, I’ll blow it up until you give it!

Li Shimin didn't have a coward under his command. Since Zhang Zhongqing and the others learned the formula of gunpowder, they went to the deep mountains and wild forests to experiment secretly.

The gunpowder bomb made by Leng Feng is just filled with gunpowder in the container. These guys actually experimented with what happens after the porcelain is compacted, what happens if you mix it with other things, what happens if you change the ratio of the formula, and then stick a few scarecrows , put armor on them, and try the lethality of gunpowder bullets.

If it wasn't for Leng Feng's strict precautionary measures, it would be a miracle that 120 of the 25 people could survive if they played like this.

Behind a hillside, Wei Zheng ignited the fuze with trembling hands...

laugh!
After the fuze burned, Zhang Zhongqing immediately directed everyone to return to the pit and put the shield on the pit.

boom!
Even if it was hundreds of meters away, I still heard the roar clearly and felt the trembling of the earth!
When Wei Zheng saw the huge pothole, he stammered and asked, "This...is this...the 'artifact' that His Majesty mentioned in the court hall?"

Zhang Zhongqing laughed loudly: "Yes, this is it, but it's not the most powerful one. This iron shell is second-grade thick. If it's first-grade thickness, hum! Our ears will be deafened!"

It was also Wei Zheng's mission on this trip to witness the power of the "artifact" for civil and military officials.Ordinary life creates ordinary imagination, Wei Zheng has fantasized about the "artifact" enough, but he was still taken aback.

Zhang Zhongqing pointed to the pothole and said to Wei Zheng: "Doctor Wei, you have also seen the power of the artifact. I am the commander of Jinglei Division and the former commander of Baiqi Division. I hope you will keep what you saw today a secret. In the court hall, just describe the power. That's enough, don't say anything else."

Wei Zheng was naturally aware of this, nodded and said: "I know! I won't say anything except power!"

This bombing didn't produce what Leng Feng wanted, so Leng Feng waved his hand to signal Zhang Zhongqing to continue.

After eight consecutive bangs, the black peat was blasted out.

Leng Feng held the peat and said to Wei Zheng: "It seems that this is the Efang Palace. Look at this black mud, it is obviously left over by Xiang Yu from Chu who set fire to it."

Wei Zheng said with emotion: "Such a magnificent building wastes so much money and people's manpower. It can be seen that Qin Shihuang's extravagance and lust are evident!"

Li Chengqian said on the side: "Xiang Yu is also hateful, he actually set such a magnificent building on fire!"

Wei Zheng said: "After Liu Bang entered Xianyang, he accepted Qin Ziying's surrender, but only took Ziying into custody, and did not follow the advice of his subordinates to kill Qin Ziying.

Liu Bang retreated to defend Bashang, so he summoned famous scholars in Guanzhong and made an agreement with them in three chapters: murderer dies, wounding and stealing pays off.All other harsh legal systems of the Qin Dynasty were abolished, which quickly won the hearts of the people.

On the other hand, after Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he even directly condoned the soldiers to slaughter Xianyang, and the wanton robbery aroused the resentment of the people of Xianyang.

Regarding the matter of dealing with Qin Ziying, Xiang Yu directly ordered the execution of Qin Ziying who had surrendered to Liu Bang, and lost the support of the nobles of the Qin Dynasty.

Fan Zeng advised that Guanzhong is rich and the capital of Qin is prosperous, so it can become a king and hegemony.But the stubborn Xiang Yu refused to listen to the order and set fire to Efang Palace. The fire continued to burn for three months without being extinguished.Then he fantasized about going back to Jiangdong to command the world and rebuild a capital city.

At that time, Liu Bang, He De, and He Neng were able to compete with the Overlord of Chu, but in the end Xiang Yu was forced to kill himself in Wujiang.sad!Alas! ! "

Li Tai leaned forward and said to Wei Zheng: "Doctor Wei is so emotional today, why don't you also write an essay and participate in my master's Tianxialou literary gambling?"

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "The old man's writing is clumsy, it's hard to be elegant!"

This is a bit too pretentious!
Leng Feng really wanted to say that!
"I heard: Those who seek the elders of trees must solidify their roots; those who want to flow far must dredge their springs; those who think about the safety of the country must accumulate their virtues. The source is not deep but the stream is far away. Seeking the growth of trees, not being virtuous but thinking about the safety of the country, even though the ministers are foolish, they know that it is impossible, how much more wise? The king is the most important artifact, living in the vastness of the domain, he will respect the height of the sky, and keep the boundless forever Hugh. Don't think about danger in times of peace, abstain from extravagance and be frugal, don't be as virtuous as you are, and love as much as you want, I also cut down the roots in order to grow trees, and block the source and want to grow long. Every hundred heads of state, inherit the destiny of the sky..."

This is the famous "Remonstrance Taizong Shi Sishu"!
PS: When Leng Feng was protecting the old historian, he came across this passage when he was flipping through the book of Tang history. He thought it was troublesome, so he turned it over, but the old man saw it, and angrily reprimanded Leng Feng for flipping through the book. Not reading a book.Grabbing Leng Feng and telling him word for word, while Leng Feng was drowsy, he still lamented that Wei Zheng was the purest minister in history...

Leng Feng looked at the setting sun and said, "We can't go back to Chang'an today, we can only sleep in the wilderness."

Wei Zheng looked around and threatened Li Tai, "This is the ruins of the Efang Palace! I don't know if there will be ghosts who died in vain coming to us at night?"

Li Tai is the most timid, and hastily pulled Li Ke over: "My third brother is the most powerful, the third brother is not enough, and my eldest brother, neither of them can do it, and my master! The master is a pedantic celestial being, and he will definitely be able to catch him." Damn!"

　Fourth watch... Sure enough, the toothpaste was squeezed out!Headache... Lanshou!Nest death song was written yesterday, feed the code words, the volume of the book of changes is bald.
