Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 781 Dare to Touch My Cheese and Find Death

Chapter [-] Dare to touch my cheese and seek death

Under Xiangzhou City, the soldiers of the Tang Army from the brigade stepped onto the shore from the ferry, lined up in a neat formation, and marched towards Xiangzhou City.Teams of Tang Army soldiers are full of fighting spirit.

No matter in the original history or now, Li Jiancheng has never been a general who can't lead the army, but an extremely difficult opponent.Li Jiancheng doesn't seem to have any dazzling record, but Li Jiancheng is like brown sugar, once it sticks, he can't get rid of it, and he won't stop until he bites his opponent to blood.

In the official history written after the "Xuanwumen Incident", no matter whether it is old or new, there is almost no mention of Li Jiancheng's achievements. ", "Wei Zheng made a speech, it is the peace of Hebei", which is almost all the achievements of Li Jiancheng that can be found in the official history: conquering Chang'an and pacifying Hebei.But I looked at the "Da Tang Entrepreneurship Daily Note" written before the "Xuanwumen Incident" (recording the history of 357 days from Li Yuan's rebellion against the Sui Dynasty at the end of the Sui Dynasty until he conquered Chang'an, abolished the Sui Emperor, and officially became the Tang Emperor. , divided into 3 volumes. Written by Tang Wen Daya. Wen Daya joined the army for the office of General Li Yuan, and he wrote the book with the army.) (This book does not make comments)
History is history, very controversial history.At least it is recorded in "Tang Dynasty War History", from the first year of Wude until the end of the East Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, during the 13 years, the East Turks invaded the border almost every year. Only after the death of Li Jiancheng, the East Turks successfully attacked Chang'an Under the city, Li Shimin was forced to sign an alliance under the city.

Li Jiancheng led the East Palace Four Rates, Left and Right Wuwei, and Left and Right Xiaowei Four Commands Four Guards Forty Mansion Two Hundred Regiments, a total of more than [-] four, a total of more than [-] civilians marched down the Yellow River and stationed in Xiangzhou.

After the Tang army soldiers arrived at the city, they began to set up camp in an orderly manner.Wei Zheng looked up at Da Tao's banner, Li Jiancheng in armor, and walked quickly towards Li Jiancheng.

Wei Zheng walked up to Li Jiancheng, leaned forward slightly, and said to Li Jiancheng in front of him, "Your Highness, there is something strange about the Hebei rebellion."

Li Jiancheng frowned, turned his head slightly to look at Wei Zheng, and said, "What's so strange."

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Highness, have you ever thought carefully about what is Liu Shishan's strongest and what is his weakest?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Liu Shishan's biggest reliance is not the Turks, but the support of the Hebei aristocratic family. Today, there are ten ways in the world, and the Tang Dynasty has chosen seven of them. The remaining two are Hebei, Shandong, and Jianghuai. Among the three , Shandong and Jianghuai are nothing to worry about, and the real threats to the Tang Dynasty are Hebei and Jianghuai. The problem of Hebei is actually the same as that of Jianghuai, that is, where will the imperial court place the local aristocratic families and powerful people? Is it an enemy? Or a friend?"

Wei Zheng took out a letter.He handed it to Li Jiancheng and said, "This is a secret letter intercepted by the scouts, written by Liu Shishan to Du Fuwei. Now, the Hebei family regards Du Fuwei as their savior, just like the Luoyang family regarded Dou Jiande as their savior. The current situation is different from the battle of Luoyang last year, Du Fuwei has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but Liu Shishan wrote such a letter!"

Li Jiancheng thought about it and said: "Is it urgent to go to the doctor?"

"This is not the most strange thing, but the most strange thing is!" Wei Zheng continued in an unwavering voice: "Ling Jing said that the Hebei family has an intercepted secret decree, and the secret decree wants the King of Qin to wipe out all the Hebei family."

Li Jiancheng suddenly turned his face and stared at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng nodded lightly and said, "Ling Jing has no reason to lie to me."

Li Jiancheng asked a little anxiously: "When did Your Majesty issue such a secret decree?"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Li Jiancheng said: "Never?"

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Therefore, there is something else hidden about the chaos in Hebei."

At this time, Li Jiancheng suddenly realized.It is said that Liu Shishan is just a vulgar martial artist, without the appearance of a master, let alone the possibility of seizing the world. However, like Liu Heita in history, he restored the 39 prefectures of Hebei and Shandong in the period of Dou Jiande in just three months. place.It is absolutely unreasonable to say that the Hebei and Shandong aristocratic families did not take refuge in Liu Shishan.

It can be said bluntly that the Hebei aristocratic family and the powerful have simply made a foolish move.This is a question that Li Jiancheng has been thinking about for a long time.Hearing this secret order now, Li Jiancheng understood instantly.

It's no wonder that the Hebei family and clans all stood against Li Tang, because Li Yuan issued a "secret decree". As the saying goes, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad.

Li Jiancheng thought about it with a cold face, took off the jade pendant around his waist, and handed it to Wei Zheng: "With this jade pendant, you can mobilize personnel and resources inside and outside the East Palace at any time, and investigate this matter as soon as possible... With the secret decree, Xuan Cheng can decide the reward conditions by himself."

Wei Zheng took the jade pendant, shook it in his hand, smiled at Li Jiancheng, and strode away.

Wei Ting, who was in the distance, saw the scene of Li Jiancheng's conversation with Wei Zheng, and was thoughtful.

……

In the lobby of Taiyuan Bingzhou General Manager's Mansion, Li Shimin sat drunkenly on a bed, surrounded by empty wine jars.Li Shimin was in a very uncomfortable mood. He tried every means and arranged everything, never thinking that Li Jiancheng would benefit from everything.

Li Shimin was unwilling and unconvinced, but the overall situation was settled, and he had no choice but to do anything.

Li Shimin wanted to get drunk, but the more he drank, the more sober he became.

At this moment, Cheng Zhijie's voice came from outside the door: "Lao Lei, get out of the way, I want to see His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Lei Yongji smiled bitterly: "General Cheng, don't make things difficult for me!"

Cheng Zhijie said coldly, "Old Lei, get out of the way!"

Lei Yongji naturally refused to give an inch.Now Li Shimin has already ordered that if he dares to let Cheng Zhijie in, Li Shimin will definitely not spare him afterwards.

Cheng Zhijie stepped forward and picked up Lei Yongji and said, "Get out of the way, or you will suffer the most!"

Lei Yongji is smart, he was really angry when he saw Cheng Zhijie, and hurried out of the way.

Cheng Zhijie rushed into the lobby, looked at the drunken Li Shimin and said, "Is it a man? Don't drink any more!"

Cheng Zhijie tried to take the wine jar from Li Shimin's hands.

Li Shimin cursed vaguely: "Get out!"

Cheng Zhijie was kicked out of the lobby viciously by Li Shimin.

Looking at Cheng Zhijie who got out

A group of generals surrounded the lobby, at a loss.

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "You all go away."

Changsun Wuji walked into the tent carrying a shield.

Everyone outside the lobby heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from inside.

Crackling... After a while, Changsun Wuji walked out of the tent carrying the deformed shield.

Li Shimin staggered and came out after him.

Changsun Wuji pointed at the surrounding soldiers.Changsun Wuji shouted hoarsely at Li Shimin: "Li Shimin, you have to remember, always remember that your life does not belong to you, but to everyone who follows you. Every brother is willing to fight for you. Die vigorously in battle. If you still can't cheer up your spirits, all the brothers here will die, Hou Junji, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, and me, Changsun Wuji - did you hear me clearly? ?”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty.

Changsun Wuji pointed to Li Shimin and said, "What's the point of gain or loss? Presumably His Highness knows about Du Fuwei, right?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Of course I know."

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Du Fuwei was born in poverty, and his background is lower than that of everyone here. Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Er have been friends since childhood. The local officials extorted and extorted money. He was only 16 years old when he was only [-] years old..."

Hou Junji nodded repeatedly, his face full of appreciation.

Li Shimin was thoughtful.

Changsun Wuji continued: "After Du Fuwei joined the rebel army, he fought extraordinarily bravely. Every time he fought, he rushed to the front, from a small soldier to the leader of the rebel army. Then, the rebel army he led, because of his bravery and good fighting skills, , and gradually annexed the surrounding rebels. Just when Du Fuwei's army was getting stronger and stronger, a man named Li Zitong led another rebel army to join him, but this Li Zitong suddenly launched a mutiny and wanted to Annexed Du Fuwei's team, and the official army of the former Sui Dynasty also surrounded and suppressed Du Fuwei at this time. Du Fuwei was seriously injured, and finally escaped from the encirclement on the back of his general, Ximen Junyi's wife. That At that time, Du Fuwei almost became a bare general."

Li Shimin interrupted and asked, "How old was he at that time?"

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said: "19 years old. Later, Du Fuwei relied on absorbing refugees, expanding his power, and occupied Liuhe. But at this time, Yang Guang ran from Chang'an to Jiangdu, bringing 10,000+ elite officers and soldiers. Du Fu Wei's Heaven and Earth is right under Yang Guang's eyes."

If you don’t have an intuitive understanding of the distance between Jiangdu and Liuhe, then Jiangdu is roughly equivalent to Jiangdu District in Yangzhou, and Liuhe County is the current Nanjing Liuhe District.The distance between the two is about a hundred kilometers.

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Yang Guang didn't kill him, but let him grow up step by step?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "This is the magic of Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei treats his soldiers like brothers and sisters. He also treats scholars generously. He has the hearts of the people and morale. Sitting big under the eyes of Guang, he fought east and west, wiped out Shen Faxing and Li Zitong, and finally unified Jianghuai."

Li Shimin said: "This Du Fuwei is really a young hero. Auxiliary machine, please make arrangements, I will go to meet this Du Fuwei in person."

……

An uninvited guest came to Chen Ying's Anxi Protectorate, a Byzantine priest named Robben Tullius Cicero. To Chen Ying's surprise, this priest named Robben spoke in poor Tang , put a bag of strange things in front of Chen Ying, and introduced to Chen Ying like Xianglin's sister-in-law: "Dear Duke, I know that you are rich and beautiful, and ordinary gold and silver treasures are not eye-catching. So I sent something, you must be interested!"

Li Xiuning secretly looked at Father Robben. Father Robben has ancient Roman and Greek blood, and is a top-notch middle-aged handsome guy.But in Li Xiuning's eyes, this Father Robben was really ugly and scary.

At this time, Chen Ying was in a daze, with green eyes, drooling, and straight eyes, like a pervert who suddenly met a stunning beauty after holding back for ten years, looking at the woman in front of him with his eyes. This bunch of weird things.

This pile of gadgets that made his eyes straighten and swallow his saliva is not seductive at all, it is nothing more than a pile of monsters made of wood and steel, a lot of ghosts without aesthetic feeling, and you can tell that they are not fun at first glance. thing.

The more Li Xiuning looked at this small model made of rotten wood and steel, I really don't know how he fell in love with these ghost things!
Father Robben pointed to a palm-sized model and said, "Your Excellency, this is a boring machine, which is specially used to polish the inner chamber... Dear Chen, don't doubt its power. As long as the water power is sufficient, it only needs two You can grind the inside of any crystal cup so smooth that a fly will fall down!"

The moment Chen Ying saw the model of the boring machine, he subconsciously thought of something.

God of War - Artillery!
In the early days of the invention of the original artillery, copper was usually used as the barrel. That was because the cast iron and steel casting technology was not up to standard. Chen Ying did not make technological leaps. Chen Ying subconsciously defined the label of prodigal to Father Robben.The boring machine is actually used to polish crystal cups.

Chen Ying reached out and touched the sharp and well-made knife model, nodded repeatedly and said, "It's really a good thing!"

Father Robben pointed to another one: "This is a drilling machine, specially used for drilling holes. Your Excellency, you are building a track now. In order to connect the various tracks, the method you are using now is the casting method. This is not only Inefficient and unsafe!"

In the era when electric welding was not invented, there was no choice but melting and casting for the connection of steel.However, looking at this drill press, Chen Ying had a flash of inspiration: "Yes, you can use a drill press to drill holes and connect them with bolts!"

Father Robben continued to introduce: "This is a planer. Have you seen this extremely sharp planer? Yes, it is used to cut metal! With it, Your Excellency, your steel surface will be sharper than ice. Be smooth!"

Chen Ying nodded with satisfaction.

Father Robben continued to introduce: "This is a thread processing machine, just start it, put the parts in, creak --- in the blink of an eye, circles of threads will appear on the extremely hard steel , whether it is internal thread or external thread, it can be easily handled!"

Although these machine tools are all made by hand, they are very simple, and the reliability is not much higher, but... this is a machine tool anyway. With it, machines can be used to produce machines. How can this significance be overestimated? Not too much!Chen Ying patted the boring machine vigorously and said, "They are all good things! But why are there no grinding machines and milling machines?"

Father Robben was obviously stunned: "Grinder and milling machine? What?"

Chen applied hand gestures and said: "The milling machine is a machine tool that uses milling cutters to mill the workpiece. In addition to milling planes, grooves, gear teeth, threads and spline shafts, the milling machine can also process more complex profiles. It is a machine tool used to grind metal, simply put, it is used to grind milling cutters! These two types of machine tools are very important...By the way, Father Robben, why is it just a model and no real thing?"

Father Robben looked embarrassed and said: "Actually, this time I was carrying physical machines, but when I passed through the Geluoling Valley, I was snatched by the Turks! The eight machines have all become the spoils of the Turks. It is estimated that Now the steel on those machines should be removed by them to forge swords!"

"What?" Chen Ying was furious when he heard that he jumped a foot, "When did this happen, why didn't anyone tell me?"

PS: I originally added an update yesterday. When I wrote more than 2000 words, Lao Cheng couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep in front of the computer, so I had to wait until now to post it.[-] words combined chapter, please support me!
