Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 764 I, Liu Shishan, Mingzhou, Are Back Again
Chapter [-] Mingzhou, I, Liu Shishan, are back

The most indispensable thing in the world is smart people. Li Shimin competed with Li Jiancheng, and he gradually understood.Since Li Yuan was afraid of Li Jiancheng's achievements and prestige, even if he could defeat Li Jiancheng and become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he would not be able to secure the position of crown prince.

So he calmed down and developed Hedong with peace of mind.Chen Ying received the news.Since the end of spring plowing in the sixth year of Wude, Li Shimin began to build large-scale construction projects in Hedong, building embankments such as Sanggan River, Hutuo River, and Zhang River.

In the residence newspaper, there is a special paper on Li Shimin's submission to Beijing.Li Shimin plans to start from the Yanggukou of the Yuanzi River in Shuozhou in the west, along the Sanggan River, from Shanyin and Yingxian to Xin, with a total length of 270 miles.

It is not surprising that Li Shimin used the method of military meritorious service to grant land in Hedong to win over Chen Ying. Li Shimin squeezed out Li Shiji, Feng Li and other officials appointed by the Eastern Palace or the imperial court, and placed all the 24 prefectures of Bingzhou in Qin Dynasty. Chen Ying, the civil and military officials of the royal family, was also not surprised.It's just that Li Shimin attached great importance to water conservancy projects and began to focus on the operation of Hedong, which Chen Ying did not expect.

The territory under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou General Administration Office is generally within the scope of later Shanxi Province. Although the Bingzhou General Administration Office is not a scarce fresh water resource, however, the more than [-] large and small rivers under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou General Administration Office are basically seasonal rivers. Seasonal changes Very big.Especially the Sanggan River. The upper section of the Sanggan River flows through the arid Loess Plateau in northern Shanxi, and is called the Sanggan River.Its downstream is often affected by floods, so the river course is often changed, so it was originally called the Wuding River.

"Poor bones by the Wuding River, still a person in a spring girl's dream." It is the lower reaches of the Sanggan River.In the north of Bingzhou, the weather is dry, but every rainy season and flood season, the Sanggan River will also flood.It seems surprising that the arid northern part of Bingzhou is also flooded.Of course, the political significance of Li Shimin's construction of ditches is far greater than the practical significance.

In dry land, if the yield per mu exceeds stone, it can be called fertile land.Once the ditches are completed, millions of acres of dry land will be transformed into high-yield paddy fields, which will be of great significance to strengthening Li Shimin's foundation in the Hedong area.Of course, the most important thing is that Li Shimin used the excuse of building ditches as an excuse to intercept the taxes of the 24 states under the administration of the Bingzhou General Manager.

This made Chen Ying deeply jealous.

Chen Ying pointed to the pond copy of the mansion newspaper, looked at Li Xiuning and said, "Do you know who is behind His Royal Highness King Qin, who advises him?"

Li Xiuning looked at Tangchao, slightly surprised and said: "Erlang has grown up, and knows to share the worries of the court..."

At this moment, Li Xiuning noticed Chen Ying's strange expression, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this bad?"

Chen Ying has a thousand years of knowledge, so it is easy to see that Li Shimin is implementing the overall strategy of "building high cities, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly" at this time. Li Shimin, who is far away from Chang'an and left the town of Taiyuan, not only did not give up his goal of seizing the heir , but paid for the action.

Now without Li Shiji and Feng Li in Hedong to check and balance Li Shimin, Li Shimin has become the king of Taiyuan. Now Li Shimin has soldiers, food, people, and the stubbornness that will never admit defeat.

If it doesn't work out, there will be no Xuanwu Gate in the Tang Dynasty, and there will be "Jing Nan" in the Tang Dynasty. I really don't know how many years it will take for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin brothers to decide the winner.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning slightly lost in thought, and asked aloud, "What are you thinking?"

Li Xiuning smiled helplessly and said: "I was thinking about when I was a child, at that time, Big Brother and Erlang...why have everything changed now?"

"People are in the rivers and lakes, they are free!" Chen Yingdao: "This is not an issue between brothers at all.

Li Xiuning said: "What's the problem?
Chen Yingdao: "This is a matter between the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion."

Li Xiuning was even more confused and looked at Chen Ying blankly.

Chen Ying sighed and explained: "If the crown prince asks for peace on this matter, then in the future, the Prince Qin's mansion will overwhelm the East Palace. If the King Qin takes the initiative to ask for peace, then the East Palace will ride on the head of King Qin's mansion from now on. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Royal Highness the King of Qin If you want brotherhood to be harmonious, people from the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion will not agree!"

It's not that Li Xiuning doesn't understand the truth, but that she really doesn't want to accept this reality.

However, Li Xiuning also understands that the crown prince and King Qin may not be able to protect themselves alone.

Li Xiuning leaned over Chen Ying's chest and murmured: "Chen Lang, I'm so tired and annoying..."

"Don't be afraid!" Chen Ying stroked Li Xiuning's back and said, "Everything is up to me!"

Li Xiuning was silent for a while, then asked Chen Ying abruptly: "Is Chen Lang's crown prince...in danger?"

After Li Xiuning asked, she stared at Chen Ying closely, and unconsciously became cautious about her breathing.

Chen Ying shook his head lightly and said: "Everyone is wrong, the crown prince's position is as stable as Mount Tai."

Li Xiuning let out a sigh of relief, but the smile she just showed froze on her face again.

Chen Ying said bitterly: "Actually, I am the one whose position is at stake!"

Li Xiuning stared wide-eyed, looked at Chen Ying in disbelief, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Impossible!"

Chen Ying murmured: "Wang Shichong is finished, Dou Jiande is finished, and now even Du Fuwei, the only one left, has become an apartment in Chang'an, the country is unified, the world is Chang'an, and Datang, Chen Ying is no longer needed... "

Mist accumulated in Li Xiuning's eyes, and she looked at Chen Ying in disbelief.

Chen Ying smiled and said: "San Niang, don't worry, I will not accept fate, nor will I admit defeat. If the Tang Dynasty cannot tolerate Chen Ying, Chen Ying will stay away from the Tang Dynasty and go to the far west or the outer sea. We are all together as a family, wherever we are, that is our home, even if there is no home, I can kill a family!"

The next day, it was just dawn.A burst of heavy drums sounded suddenly, and the generals of the Anxi Army knew that it was time to get up!The officer would kick open the door and rush into the dormitory with a whip made of fine sand poured into long and thin strips of cloth, and roughly kick them out of the dormitory.This thing won't hurt the muscles and skin when hit on the body, but it hurts to the bone marrow. Those who have been whipped once are unwilling to be whipped a second time in their life!

When they assembled in a sea of ​​chickens and dogs, what awaited them was a five-kilometer cross-country long-distance race in full armor. The soldiers of this era are far more physically fit than the milk baby soldiers of later generations, even if they are wearing armor and carrying Weapons, these soldiers are still running like flying.In the five-kilometer cross-country long-distance race, none of the recruits was left behind, which made Chen Ying a little disappointed.

Chen Ying jogged his horse and roared, "Whether cavalry or infantry, it is necessary to have a pair of iron feet. The horse will be exhausted. At that time, if you can't outrun the enemy, you will only die!"

The meals in Chen Yingjun's army were very good. At least the Anxi army recruits who ate their first meal felt that it was worth selling their lives for this stuttering.For breakfast, there are sourdough steamed buns, big meat buns, salted egg porridge, and by the way, buckets of boiling milk soup.

Of course, it is impossible to have cows in the army, so there is no need to think about fresh milk.The milk is preserved by making dry cheese that is harder than a brick. Every morning, the cooking soldiers will take out some dry cheese and boil it in boiling water. Every soldier has to drink a glass before eating breakfast.

After eating a delicious meal that may not be available during the Chinese New Year, everyone started the disgusting queue training.

A group of unscrupulous instructors stood in front of them with grim smiles and quickly shouted the password: "Turn left."

"turn right……"

"turn back……"

"Walking in place..."

For a group of Anxi army recruits who couldn't even tell the difference between their left and right feet, the simplest way to turn around quickly made them dizzy, and they almost couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.

Can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, don't go to Kun, you can stand in a military posture, some nasty guys deliberately took them to the grass with a lot of mosquitoes, and within a minute, three colorful mosquitoes lay on the tip of their noses, sucking them with relish, itching You can't fight until you die, and those who fight mosquitoes or do small tricks... wait for the ducks!By the way, there is also the damn internal affairs, the devil knows how these unscrupulous instructors did it, the quilts are folded like tofu cubes, everything is neatly arranged, there is absolutely no extra thing in the dormitory, The floors and windows are spotless, and...everyone follows this standard, and you will feel better if you can't do it!
The most incomprehensible thing to these Anxi Army soldiers is that as recruits, don't they need to practice bow and crossbow, archery, equestrian, knife, spear, and joint strike skills?Turning around, can turning kill the enemy?

Chen Ying wouldn't explain, and those unscrupulous veterans began to deal with these Anxi army recruits in different ways.

The recruits of the Anxi Army were tortured to the point of death in just one month of queue training. When these tortures can end in the future, they did not wait until the end, but waited for more severe training.

Armed cross-country for ten kilometers in the morning, carrying forty to fifty catties of sandbags in the morning, began to exercise endurance, ran another five kilometers as an appetizer before dinner in the afternoon, and did 150 push-ups after dinner because the instructor cared about your body.Sometimes in the middle of the night, people are kicked into the carriage and pulled ten miles away to let them walk back in the dark because they are afraid that the long night will make everyone too boring. Is it possible to have some fun for everyone?

The training of the Lancers and the Modao Army was even more painful.The internal affairs requirements of these two services are not so strict, but the training is frighteningly strict.

In addition to queue training, armed cross-country training, and combat training, the officers and soldiers of the Modao Army also have special training for large and small muscle groups. Barbells, dumbbells, and elastic ropes have become their good friends. The strength of every muscle in their body is fully mobilized, allowing them to have stronger explosive power, longer endurance, more agile skills, and stronger will. This kind of training is undoubtedly very painful, and often the training ends in one day. On the second day, there was not a single joint in the whole body, not a single muscle that was not excruciatingly painful, and even the palms of the hands could not be opened.

The worst part is that this kind of training doesn't just take ten days and half a month, but it takes several years to accompany them. As long as they are still serving in the barracks and their physical condition allows, they have to do this kind of training.

……

Outside Mingzhou City, Liu Shishan, who was dressed in common clothes on the official road, looked up at the tall and majestic Mingzhou City Wall.

Beside Liu Shishan is a group of merchants dressed as Turks, and some Hu merchants have entered the city.

Liu Shishan murmured: "Mingzhou, I, Liu Shishan, are back!"
