Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 629 The Inflection Point of History (Part [-])
Chapter 42 The turning point of history ([-] more)
A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America occasionally flaps its wings a few times, causing changes in the air system around it and generating weak airflows, which in turn cause corresponding changes in the surrounding air or other systems changes, which set off a chain reaction that eventually leads to extreme weather changes elsewhere.Call it the "butterfly effect".

The prosperous Tang Dynasty is like a poem and a painting. Although Chen Ying has been a man for two generations, he seems to see farther than the ancients, but in fact, Chen Ying's way of thinking is not necessarily smarter than the ancients.

As for the many trends of thought in the previous life, not to mention that Chen Ying probably only had a half-knowledge, but even if he is really proficient, the theory is too advanced, and it may bring greater harm to the society.

How did Wang Mang's new system come to an end? This is a lesson learned from the past.It's not like Chen Ying didn't know that, theoretically speaking, the content of Wang Mang's new system was advanced in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, even if reforms were to be made, Chen Ying never thought of influencing the Tang court and promoting it to the whole world.However, what Chen Ying did not expect was that he was influencing Datang's development direction bit by bit.

Originally, Chen Ying did not think about building a track system of the Tang Dynasty. He simply imitated the railway system of mine transportation in later generations to save labor and time to transport the excavated river mud. But after seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng decided to To repair the road system of the Tang Dynasty, the first road from Luoyang to Tongguan, which is nearly [-] miles away, is about to be completed. It is expected that the whole line will be open to traffic in the spring of the fourth year of Wude.

This is just a change in Datang.However, Chen Ying never imagined that he just produced some primitive phosphate fertilizers by wet method, which would influence Datang to abolish the death penalty.

Although it is only partially abolished, it is obvious that once this policy is introduced, the population of Datang will undergo great changes.At least, the population base will be much larger. As long as it is labor reform, there will be a day when they can be released after serving their sentences. Then the children and grandchildren of these people will breed countless people in Datang.

Li Yuan agreed with Xiao Yu's opinion almost without consideration, after all Li Yuan is a person who cherishes feathers.

Once this policy is implemented, it will not have a particularly large negative impact on Datang. On the contrary, it will enable Datang to obtain countless phosphate fertilizers, increase food production, and the benefited people will be more grateful to him as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.Moreover, he is not bloodthirsty and easy to kill. A benevolent emperor has a better reputation than a tyrant.

At this moment, Chen Ying noticed that Li Xiuning's face was a little pale, and gradually a rosy color appeared on Li Xiuning's face. Suddenly, Li Xiuning covered her mouth and ran into the distance. She couldn't run more than ten steps away, and she was supported by a small tree. Before, wow, vomit.

Chen Ying also didn't care about Li Yuan discussing important court affairs with the ministers, so he hurried over.

The world is big and the wife is the biggest.

In Chen Ying's eyes, even the heavenly king Lao Tzu is not as old as his wife.

Out of the corner of Li Yuan's eyes, seeing Chen Ying being so nervous and Li Xiuning showing warmth on his face.

Chen Ying waved for Guo Luo to bring over the water bottle, and at the same time patted Li Xiuning on the back: "Sanniang, how are you doing, is it better?"

Li Xiuning rinsed her mouth with water, before she could speak, she vomited again.

Chen Ying was extremely nervous, and shouted: "Guo Luo, quickly find Chen Huairen..."

However, Li Yuan still loves his daughter dearly.Seeing Chen Ying being so loud, he thought something had happened.

He hurriedly asked the imperial physician to come forward to diagnose and treat Li Xiuning.

Li Yuan went out of the palace, even if he only traveled sixty miles to the city, he still followed the imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Office.After a while, an old doctor with gray hair and beard put his hand on Li Xiuning's wrist.

After a while, a smile appeared on the imperial physician's face, he let go of Li Xiuning's wrist, bowed towards Li Yuan and Chen Ying, and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Consort Chen, and your Royal Highness Princess Pingyang is happy!"

"What? You're happy?" Chen Ying was ecstatic, and Li Yuan laughed out loud.

But at this moment, a man with the appearance of an eunuch walked outside and said, "Your Majesty... hurry up!"

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were full of puzzlement, but at this moment he was in a good mood when he first heard the news of Li Xiuning's happiness, and said with a smile: "What rush?"

The eunuch said: "Report to Your Majesty, Li Daozong, the governor of Liangzhou, is in a hurry!"

"Li Daozong..." Li Yuan felt a bad feeling when he heard this.Turkic Jieli Khan, Chen Bing 30 in Dingxiang, has not changed, but in the eyes of Li Yuan and the court officials of the Tang Dynasty, this is a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Tang Dynasty.

God knows when this sharp sword will be cut down.

There is only one possibility for the urgent report in Liangzhou. The Turkic attack is not in the direction of Lingzhou, Shuozhou, or Taiyuan, nor is it the Xinde land in Hebei, nor is it Youzhou. They are actually placed in Liangzhou.

Li Yuan unfolded the secret report, and his face immediately became gloomy.

Sure enough, as Li Yuan expected, it was precisely because of what Li Daozong said that more than [-] Turks attacked Liangzhou. Li Daozong had no choice but to shrink his troops and stand by for help.

Seeing Li Yuan's unkind expression, Li Jiancheng immediately took the urgent report from Li Yuan. Li Jiancheng saw that his face was full of sadness.

Li Jiancheng also felt that his head was huge, because it was true that the Turks were attacking Liangzhou, but it was not Jieli Khan.It is the soldiers and horses of the Western Turks.

In 583, the Eastern and Western Turks split, and the Western Turkic Shekui Khan expanded his territory. All the countries from today’s Shanxi to the Aral Sea in the east were under his rule. The Khan Court was built on Sanmi Mountain in the north of Kucha.In the autumn and July of the second year of Wude, Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute.Li Yuan was in close contact with Tong Yehu, preparing to jointly attack the Eastern Turks.Jieli Khan was very frightened when he heard the news, and quickly reconciled with Tong Yehu.

Ordinarily, the relationship between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty became somewhat entangled because of the relationship between the Eastern Turks, and both sides were both enemies and friends.

However, Li Jiancheng really couldn't figure out why the West Turks who had just made friends with each other last year suddenly changed their minds now?

Li Yuan didn't think as much as Li Jiancheng did. Tens of thousands of Western Turkic troops attacked Liangzhou. It is disaster.

Although the Eastern Turks are powerful, they are not invincible with all the power of the whole world.

But adding East and West Turks together is not a question of one plus one equals two.

As early as the period of Shekui Khan, the Western Turks aggressively expanded their territory, and the territory expanded westward to the West Sea (now the Aral Sea). Compared with the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks were better equipped and controlled one of the major countries in the Western Regions. Kang Juguo directly borders the ancient Persian Sasanian Empire.

However, since the Sasanian Empire has been involved in a 400-year war with the Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) since its founding, it happened that the Sasanian Empire was at the end of the period, and Hormizd IV continued the war with Byzantium.At home, he tried to rely on Christians to strengthen his position and continue to implement the policy of suppressing the big aristocracy, which angered the big aristocrats and religious monks, and was overthrown in the end. All the kings are puppets of nobles and monks.

As it happens, in this case.The weak Sasanian Empire meets the rising Western Turks.This made it even more tragic. The Sasanian army was not only confined in large numbers on the western front and the front lines of the Byzantine Empire, but also in the Khorasan region in the east, as well as Kang and Shi. Cheap.

In Chen Ying's memory, the expansion of the Western Turkic war lasted until around the 14th year of Zhenguan. Now it is said that they should still have more than [-] years of tossing time.

In Chen Ying's memory, there is no record of the Western Turks actively attacking the Tang Dynasty. However, in this time and space, the Western Turks actually moved eastward, which made Chen Ying feel very absurd.

Li Yuan in Qinglinli left, Li Jiancheng also left, the civil and military ministers also left, and Chen Ying took Li Xiuning back to Chenjiabao in Qinglinli.

However, the invasion of Liangzhou by the Western Turks gave Li Shimin a big advantage.

Originally, neither Li Jiancheng nor Li Yuan wanted Li Shimin to go to Liangzhou, but to stay in Chang'an.Li Jiancheng hopes that Li Shimin will be under his nose, and Li Yuan also needs Li Shimin to check and balance Li Jiancheng.

However, in this situation, Li Yuan has no choice.

The troops under Li Daozong's command would definitely not be able to stop the tens of thousands of troops from the Western Turks. Reinforcement was imperative, but who would lead the army was a problem.

Li Yuan is actually a very selfish person. He doesn't believe in non-clan generals, who are already commanding [-] to [-] troops, but there is absolutely no way for [-] to [-] troops to break the siege of Liangzhou.
