Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"Who knows, but this is the situation now, believe it or not! It is said that it was the people of Qingzhou who welcomed the Great Yan army in."

"Ah? What's wrong with you? Are the people of Qingzhou crazy? How could they welcome the Great Yan army in so well? Why don't the defenders of Qingzhou resist?"

"What are you resisting? You also know the situation over there in Qingzhou. The people are about to starve to death, but the court has not provided food. Naturally, the local government will not find a way to save the people in Qingzhou, so the people in Qingzhou can't bear it, so they just He rushed out and welcomed Dayan in."

"Is this... really fake?"

"Really, I've also heard that after Dayan came in, hahaha, Mr. Xie's own granaries in various places are enough for local disaster relief, let alone! I also heard that Lu Baiyang, do you know? It's Qingzhou This guy ran away when the people were rioting. When he ran away, he ordered his servants to burn all the granaries, but in the end he was controlled by Dayan's people and was not burned. Guess he was Lu Baiyang How much food is there? Let me tell you, this food, damn it! It’s enough for the entire Qingzhou to provide disaster relief!”

"Hiss... My God, they have so much food and it's so valuable. Why don't they give it to the people? If the people have food, how can they welcome Dayan in?"

"Hmph, these people are really greedy, but in the end they killed themselves. When Great Yan came, they just released grain. How could the people not support them?"

"That's it. If that's the case, it's understandable. If I were a citizen of Qingzhou, I would definitely do the same. Grandma, the noble family, these people are well fed, and the dogs at home are eager to die, but I just don’t want to give it to the people, bah, I deserve it!”

"Who says it's not the case? This is the truth. Aren't we people just looking for a bite to eat? Dayan is indeed outstanding, but our Majesty will never just watch Dayan take Qingzhou away. If such a large area is not taken back, will Datang still have the dignity to exist?"

"That's true. Besides, Qingzhou and our Chang'an are very close to each other, right? It's your own fault. If you had provided some food to the people earlier, would something like this have happened?"

"......."

Chang'an is boiling.

Naturally, such a large-scale use of troops cannot be concealed from the people.

The truth spread throughout the city on the evening of the first day.

The people in Chang'an are talking about this matter.

Although the refugees outside the city also knew about it, in their hearts, they were a little envious of the people of Qingzhou.

You should also go and welcome the Great Yan army in!
Unfortunately, it's a bit late now.

at the same time.

The army is gathering,
Group after group began to rush towards Pu County, Qingzhou.

And soon,
Outside Mingde Gate, a large number of refugees also began to disperse.

All counties in Guannaidao sent people to come back to lead the people in their own counties.

He said that there is food and food, so go back quickly.

have to say,

The execution of the clan is pretty good.

By the fourth day, there were very few people outside Chang'an.

horrifying,

The huge locust plague came to an end in such a dramatic way.

but,

What happened next was just the beginning.
.
…….….….….….
Great inflammation.

Taiyuan City.

Li Kuanchang enjoyed himself among the crowd and looked at the unforgettable people in the city, feeling extremely happy.

Xin Qiji, Yang Yong and Nalan Haixue followed closely behind.

They are all dressed casually.

Dayan had completely controlled Taiyuan City, calmed the people, and returned everything to normal in a short time.

The stalls, vendors, shops and teahouses are overcrowded, and everything is getting better.

Li Kuan stretched his waist.

This morning,

He had just arrived in Taiyuan with Nalan Haixue. He didn't bother to deal with government affairs and rest, so Li Kuan took them to Jinyang Palace.

Jinyang Palace.

This is the core of Taiyuan.

It was also one of the palaces of the previous emperors.

Naturally, it is also the most important place for Li Kuan Qingzhou and his party.

here….
The Tang Dynasty once raised troops here, marched all the way to Chang'an, and successfully conquered the world. Unexpectedly, he now became the master of this place.

"His Majesty!"

"Qingzhou is all in the hands of Dayan. Every county is guarded by my Dayan troops. Regular Dayan troops have spread across Qingzhou. I have divided five thousand self-defense troops to guard one prefecture in Qingzhou, and the other five Qian was sent to Pu County to assist General Beidou."

"In addition, Datang has also sent troops."

"However, your majesty, please don't worry. General Beidou has built Pu County into an iron wall. The entire White Robe Army and the Self-Defense Force have been deployed around Pu County. We, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, are secretly rushing to support us. As long as the Tang Army Come here and make sure they never come back!"

"But... the government offices of all counties in Qingzhou, including those in Taiyuan City, are still in the idle stage. The army can control them for the time being, but! Your Majesty, this is not a long-term solution. Your Majesty still needs to send formal officials to take over as soon as possible."

"However, Qingzhou is still very stable for the time being. I led my troops to distribute food. At the same time, in accordance with His Majesty's instructions, I sent Qingzhou to register for the imperial examination next spring. The people are looking forward to it, especially some of the lower-level officials. They are even more excited. .”

As Yang Yong walked, he reported on the current situation in Qingzhou.

Li Kuan nodded slightly.

These were all things he expected in his heart.

"There are some officials preparing over there in Dayan."

"Ma Zhou, Zhao Yuan and other candidates who stood out last year have become independent after this year's experience."

"It's not difficult to let them stabilize the situation temporarily. When the imperial examination resumes next spring, the officials at all levels in Qingzhou will be able to completely replenish their ranks."

"There's nothing going on in Qingzhou now. It's good to use the army to stabilize the situation for the time being. There are also petty officials in various places to help take care of it. There won't be any trouble."

"Everyone is recuperating and waiting for next spring. Our first consideration is the war in Pu County."

Li Kuan thought for a moment and gave the order.

Naturally, the officials left behind by the Tang Dynasty could no longer be used.

Except for Li Shimin, almost no dynasty dared to use officials from the previous dynasty!

certainly….
Li Kuan didn't use it because there were too many corrupt officials in Qingzhou.

And this group of people,

The ones who ran away didn't stay much.

but,

Li Kuan observed that almost all the officials ran away, but some petty officials did not leave.

With them here, it would not be difficult for Dayan to temporarily control Qingzhou and maintain order in Qingzhou.

Of course then

Li Kuan would not directly promote them to official positions.

Want to be an official?
It’s simple, let’s take part in next year’s imperial examination together!
In fact, this is a great thing for those small officials. Now that all counties are in order, it cannot be separated from the efforts of these small officials.

In the Tang Dynasty, they were crowded out by the clan members and had no chance of getting ahead at all!

it's good now.

When I heard the news, I was like a chicken blood, and naturally I worked harder to help Dayan maintain Qingzhou.

"However, there is nothing to worry about in the war in Pu County. Datang and the others are suffering from such serious internal problems and harassment from the King of Chu, so they cannot be united for the time being."

Li Kuan said with a smile.

"Yes, they have many problems of their own."

Yang Yong chuckled softly and said: "And these are all what they asked for, but... the world clan took action, and the people of Guannei Road also went back."

"The imperial court and the clans are now joining forces to deal with us, Dayan. In fact, the people in the city gates have to thank your majesty this time."

"They can have food to eat. If it weren't for His Majesty's pressure on Datang, the locust plague would not have passed so easily. The noble families would not be so kind."

The Shi family and the Di family join forces.

This was an extremely terrifying thing in the past. The Sui Dynasty, which had only been unified for a few years, was overthrown in this way.

But Li Kuan was not afraid.

On the contrary, I am very interested.

"Join forces? Hahaha, let them come and see if my defense is impregnable, or if they create a new cooperation legend again."

Li Kuan is so arrogant.

Do not….
Or rather, he has always been like this. "In front of you is Jinyang Palace, right?"

At this time,

Li Kuan looked at the magnificent palace located in the southern corner of Taiyuan City.

"Your Majesty, that's right!" Yang Yong replied hurriedly.

Li Kuan put his hands behind his back and walked over quickly with some expectation.

Jinyang Palace….
This is the holy land of my family!

How could he not look forward to it?

And the name Jinyang Palace,

Li Kuan had heard of it often, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

This palace is new to a powerful minister named Gao Huan, who built Jinyang Palace here, dug grottoes in Tianlong Mountain, and built the Summer Palace. This is the initial shape.

Later, Yang Guang expanded the palace and stationed it at Zhou Qili outside Jinyang Palace. The four-foot-high palace wall was originally called "Gongcheng". It was extremely grand, extremely luxurious, and extremely extravagant...
Later, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he even issued an edict to rebuild and expand Jinyang Palace. Now the Jinyang Palace is really luxurious with red walls and green tiles.

There are no people here either.

Incredibly quiet.

Only the chirping of birds one after another is extremely quiet and comforting.

"This is Jinyang Palace, Your Majesty. It looks more spectacular than the imperial city of our Yanyun Palace."

At this moment, Nalan Haixue's eyes were full of light.

His eyes were extremely hot.

Look here, look there.

Have fun.

When Li Kuan saw this, he didn't care.

And the pace under his feet was also faster.
Walk all the way.

The magnificent palace, the well-proportioned scenery, the perfection of the towers and pavilions, the magnificence of the area, and the unparalleled shape.

Li Kuan was a little dazzled.

"It seems like this place doesn't need to be rebuilt again."

Li Kuan smiled.

"Your Majesty, this place is indeed luxurious, and since Qingzhou has returned to Dayan, does Your Majesty want to move the capital to Taiyuan City?"

Yang Yong asked for instructions from the side.

"Move the capital?" Li Kuan frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "No need for the time being."

"It can also be said that it is too early. Currently, there is nothing here in Qingzhou, so there is no rush."

"Next time we want to move the capital, we should go directly to Chang'an! This will save trouble."

As Li Kuan walked, a huge square soon appeared in front of him.

After walking through this square, we arrived at Jinyang Hall.

This is the main hall named after Jinyang Palace, which is naturally the core of Jinyang Palace.

Also at this time.

[Ding... The system has detected that the host level will enter the Jinyang Palace. Please be mentally prepared to receive the sign-in gift package. 】

The long-awaited system prompt sounded again.

Li Kuan paused for a moment.

This...is really a system that has not been seen in a long time!
Li Kuan couldn't help but sigh, things have changed and people have changed.

He calmed down his complicated mood and shouted directly in his heart.

"Sign in."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. 】

[Congratulations to the host for acquiring Qingzhou and moving into Jinyang Palace. His strength has been greatly enhanced. He is working steadily and the people's happiness index is above the passing mark. 】

[Congratulations to the host for winning the famous general, Qi Jiguang. 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Qi Family Army, five thousand. 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a complete set of shipbuilding technologies. 】

The mechanical sound of the system was familiar yet unfamiliar, but it made Li Kuan extremely happy.

My own strength has finally increased again!
He closed his eyes slightly, his heart already filled with endless waves.

I finally completed the sign-in again, and the rewards did not disappoint me, and even exceeded Li Kuan's imagination.

And these rewards can be said to be extremely important to Dayan.

Shipbuilding!
This is the basis of maritime power, and there is basically nothing bad coming from the system. In other words, this shipbuilding industry technology must be at least the strongest in the contemporary era!
In addition, there are Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiajun, both of whom are famous in history. Having them is like adding wings to a tiger!

"very nice."

Li Kuan laughed, and then shouted in his heart.

"exchange!"

【Successful exchange! 】

The system gives a prompt.

then,

Li Kuan turned around and did not stay in Jinyang Palace for long.

next interest.

He walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Go to Pu County."

Li Kuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Several people bowed and responded at the same time.
.
…………………….
Datang.

Guannai Road.

Same county.

This is the closest county town between Guannai Road and Pu County. The two can be said to be separated from each other by the sky.

The journey is only half a day, very close.

Tong County is not as big as Pu County.

But now, the same county is already crowded with people, and even hundreds of miles outside the same county are the military camps of the Tang Dynasty.

Xuanjia Army, Jinwu Guard, Qianniu Guard, Zuowu Guard...
The strongest combat power of the Tang Dynasty was all gathered here.

Although the size of the junior high school's army was terrifying, it did not take too much time because it was relatively close to Chang'an. At the same time, the logistics were extremely strong, with batches of food being shipped continuously from behind.

Tongxian county government office.

Now, it has become a frontline command post.

"Attack, attack!"

"Pharmacist. We have been stationing troops here for several days. There is no need to repair and investigate. The total number of troops we have gathered now is almost [-]!"

"A hundred thousand troops are attacking a small county. Why should we be so timid?"

Yuchi Jingde said anxiously.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Zhang Liang and others all looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing took a deep breath.

He raised his head and looked at everyone.

He also knew that the army had been pressing in for several days, and the whole army was in a state of war, all thinking of having a showdown with Dayan to regain the lost ground.
