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

What on earth is your Majesty doing?

"What to do? Help you build the first air force."

"At the moment, the time may be tight, but it's enough. Hot air ballooning is not that difficult."

"The combustion inside the refinery is enough to support your air force's debut this time."

Li Kuan laughed.

Building the first air force?
When Li Kuan said this, Xin Qiji's head went blank.

I was both excited and confused.

Even more confused.

Is this thing the Air Force?

And the Air Force is about to make its debut in this battle?
This….
Is it... too fast?
Xin Qiji was completely unprepared.

"Don't be stunned. According to my design, let people move immediately."

"Ask these five hundred people to work for the masters of the machinery factory. Be quick! Make all the parts that can be made first."

"We'll do the rest when others send over the other materials."

Li Kuan ordered?
"Brothers, assemble!!"

When Xin Qiji heard this, he didn't hesitate at all.

With a little excitement, he shouted immediately?

In the evening, Qi Jiguang also delivered some materials. For twelve hours, the craftsmen worked in two shifts, but Li Kuan never left.

live teaching.

Installed on site.

Hands on on site.

When Xin Qiji stayed with her for the second night, he couldn't hold on any longer and ran to the corner to sleep.

And one by one, the hot air balloons slowly took shape.
.
…….….….….….
Hejian Mansion.

The King of Hejian, Li Xiaogong, looked a little solemn.

He looked at the information in his hand and his breathing became more rapid.

Goguryeo, the troops are on the move!
Moreover, according to intelligence, it was also said that this time Goguryeo used almost the entire country to attack Liaodong City with an army of 300,000.

King Hejian couldn't believe this news.

Goguryeo, are you crazy? !

Are you going to fight to the death with Dayan?
But Goguryeo, apart from losing the city of Liaodong four years ago, has not had any conflicts with Dayan during this period.

hiss….
What exactly is going on?

It’s puzzling.

Li Xiaogong took a deep breath, his head filled with questions.

"Someone, keep checking!"

"Find out what the King of Goguryeo is doing! Could it be that... Emperor Dayan robbed his mother-in-law?"

Li Xiaogong really couldn't figure it out.

Immediately, a guard went down.

Then, Li Xiaogong thought for a moment, took a few breaths, and then wrote the news. Then he called the scouts and quickly sent it to Chang'an.

After doing all this, Li Xiaogong let out a breath, walked out of the room slowly, and looked to the northeast.

But, that’s okay.

That’s fine….
Dog gnaws dog, haha, Datang is watching the show next to him.

This is definitely a good thing for Datang.

Both Goguryeo and Dayan were enemies of the Tang Dynasty. No matter which one of these two families lost, it would be good for the Tang Dynasty, not to mention an army of 300,000. They would have to cause some damage to the Tang Dynasty no matter what. Trouble?

After all, with the experience of the Turks in front, Goguryeo could think of some ways to deal with Liaodong City's defense.

Eulji Mundeok, Gao Jianwen and others are not good people.

To a certain extent, their brains are much easier to use than those of Jieli Khan and others.

"Huh... It seems that I have to go to the front. It would be a shame not to see it for myself in such a big battle."

Li Xiaogong narrowed his eyes and said to himself.

….….….….….….
Chang'an City.

When the news reached here quickly, it was already three days later.

Li Shimin looked at the message in his hand and frowned.

Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling all looked at Li Shimin in confusion. They still didn't know what happened.

They were reporting to Li Shimin about the recent situation of splitting up the family.

But unexpectedly, a military report came in without any expectation.

"Your Majesty, what happened? Could it be that... Dayan mobilized troops?"

Fang Xuanling asked in a deep voice.

Li Shimin breathed out softly, his face was calm, he shook his head and chuckled: "Dayan is about to freeze, but not with us."

Li Shimin handed the news in his hand to the three of them.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly took it.

Changsun Wuji and Pei Ji hurriedly approached.

They were even more confused.

Dayan is going to launch an army, but not against himself? Who is that for? Around Dayan...are there other countries?

There seems to be no more.

The closest one is Datang.

However, when the three of them read the information in their hands, they looked at each other a little confused.

"Hiss...Gudong!"

"Goguryeo, are they not afraid of death? Are they crazy? Are they going to mobilize the whole country to attack Liaodong City?"

"What if we can't defeat it? You know, the Turks have never defeated Yanyun City before, and Liaodong City is not weaker than Yanyun City."

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath, unbelievable.

"Yes, and Your Majesty, I feel that this 300,000-strong army is not the end yet. If so, then the entire Goguryeo will be in action, then... there must be at least 800,000 people!"

Changsun Wuji pursed his lips: "Looking at the contents of this letter, the people of Goguryeo already hate Dayan to the core. I am afraid that the people of Goguryeo will join in this war."

"They...what are they doing this for? Is the King of Goguryeo really crazy?"

Changsun Wuji felt incredible.

Li Shimin frowned slightly. He didn't know what was happening in Goguryeo.

but,

Pei Ji took a deep breath. After a moment of silence, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I know the situation in Goguryeo in the past two years."

"After all, some of the business of Chen's family is in Goguryeo. In the past two years, Goguryeo has been plagued by natural disasters just like our Tang Dynasty. However, Goguryeo's officials are even more outrageous."

"They almost didn't care about the lives of the people at all. They just focused on plundering wealth and taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune."

"So, Goguryeo is already facing an explosion of progress. There are many voices of resistance to the Goguryeo court."

"I speculate that Goguryeo's large-scale attack on Liaodong City this time is most likely to change the domestic conflicts and put all the blame for the people's hardship on Dayan, and then..."

"Then encourage the people to join the army and vent their anger in front of Liaodong City."

"In this way, the Goguryeo court reaped the benefits of not only killing a number of people, but also reducing the domestic pressure. It can also vent the domestic pressure. It can be said to be a win-win situation."

"And if Liaodong City is really captured, Goguryeo will be even more happy. They are not afraid of the Great Flame. After all, almost no one can cross the Datong River. There must be hundreds of soldiers who died in front of the Datong River in the previous dynasty. There are so many.”

Pei Ji kept analyzing.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji suddenly realized what they were saying.

This speculation is the most likely!
Li Shimin nodded.

"In the past two years, there have been a few envelopes about the chaos in Goguryeo, but... I didn't pay any attention to it. That's it!"

"If you say that, Liaodong City will become the scapegoat of the King of Goguryeo. Hahaha... I didn't expect that Emperor Dayan would be used by others one day."

"Okay, okay, well done to the King of Goguryeo. In that case, let's fight hard and work hard! Hahaha, I hope I can take away Liaodong City." "Hahaha!!!"

Li Shimin couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

This news really made him feel comfortable.

He hadn't heard such good news for a long time.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and looked at the three people below with a smile.

"What's going on with our Tang Dynasty's tenants?" he asked.

Some expectations.

I had such a happy day today, and if another double happiness comes to my door, my heart will finally be able to relax.

"Your Majesty, the effect is very good."

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Pei Ji took a step forward and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world is happy and excited when they hear this."

"And according to the report from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Your Majesty, in just a few days, some former hermits have come out on their own initiative and regained their Tang Dynasty household registrations."

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that this autumn harvest, our Datang's tax revenue will be increased by two or three times!"

Pei Ji said extremely excitedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling bowed slightly: "Now the number of people registered in the Tang Dynasty is rising steadily. It seems that they can directly make up for the loss of population in Hedong Road."

"This is all based on the work of a stall owner! It greatly lightened the burden on the people, so the people naturally stopped hiding and walked out."

"I didn't expect that our Tang Dynasty would have so many hidden people!"

Fang Xuanling said with emotion.

Hidden people.

This is the name given to the people who are not recorded in the household registration of the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the previous dynasty, the people were in dire straits, and various wars broke out frequently during the Wude years of the Tang Dynasty.

And population represents taxes, which makes many people hide, especially some big families with large populations, but they are often hidden under cover.

The loss is outside the jurisdiction of the government.

These hidden households do not have separate household registrations and are not registered, so they naturally do not need to pay taxes.

But now, in the Tang Dynasty, people were divided into acres and began to measure the land. There was no point in hiding it anymore.

So, they all came out.

Li Shimin never expected this ending.

He was stunned for a moment, and then became even more ecstatic.

Population, in this era, represents wealth!

"Okay, okay, okay, okay!"

"Hahaha... During this time, I still have to trouble you all, dear friends. Whether our Datang can rise depends on how well the foundation is laid this time."

"With so many people and so much land, taxes and fees have doubled, so good! I didn't expect that the method that Emperor Dayan came up with would be so effective."

"Wonderful, wonderful!!"

Li Shimin was extremely excited.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Pei Ji all shouted: "I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

After they talked some more, Sanyuan left.

Li Shimin's eyes were profound.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Good news is coming one after another.

This time, I actually want to thank Emperor Dayan. If it weren't for him, Datang wouldn't have such advanced and useful methods.

"It seems that as long as you follow Dayan's path, you will definitely not go wrong! I am a latecomer, I... I will definitely not go wrong!!"

"Great Yan, Great Yan, this time, I will use your methods to defeat you! Master Yan has developed skills to control the flames, how wonderful!"

"Hmph, Emperor Dayan, you didn't expect it, right? I... used your method to break the situation!"

Li Shimin kept talking to himself.

Then, he looked at the message sent by Li Xiaogong.

"Goguryeo, it will definitely give you a headache for a long time, right?"

"Then during this period, our Datang will develop rapidly, at a speed you can't even imagine! By the time you notice, our Datang... will definitely be invincible!"

Li Shimin pursed his lips and clenched his fists.

"It's really God who helps me, God helps my Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin was extremely excited.
.
…….….….….….
Great inflammation.

The outskirts of Liaodong City.

This place is already quite far away from Liaodong City.

Princess Changle, Xin Qiji, Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong and others all stood beside them blankly.

In addition, there are the 500 soldiers.

They all looked at His Majesty and were making final preparations.

Yes!

After several days of intensive preparations, the first batch of things His Majesty is going to make has been released.

There are 20 of them.

But... what on earth is this thing?
They couldn't understand it.

Such a big cloth bag, and then, there is a... a stove hanging underneath? !

However, the stuff burning in this furnace is extracted from the oil refinery.

Then, there are boxes for characteristics below.

This frame is huge.

Even if it accommodates seven or eight people, there seems to be no problem.

Everyone's eyes were blank at this moment.

Especially Xin Qiji.

His Majesty said before that he would build his first air force.

However, he really didn't realize that this was something that the army could use.

Horses, bows and arrows….
The usefulness and power of these army weapons are obvious at a glance, but can this thing kill people?
It should...can't be right?
Xin Qiji was confused.

"All right."

However, just when everyone's minds went blank, Li Kuan clapped his hands and finally spoke.

"Today, I want to train you."

"The Air Force is the most technical branch among the three armed forces, so not everyone can be an Air Force officer."

"There's no telling, some of the 500 of you will be eliminated."

Li Kuan said extremely calmly.

Xin Qiji's eyes trembled slightly.

disuse?

He didn't want to. These days, Xin Qiji, this group of people, could be said to be ten thousand satisfied.

"Your Majesty, may I ask how to use this thing?"

Xin Qiji spoke: "The Air Force...what exactly is the Air Force?"

Li Kuan glanced at him and nodded.

"You are all familiar with the navy and the army. These two armies have been common in all dynasties."

"As the name suggests, the navy is in the sea, and the battles in the water are controlled by warships."

"The Army fights on land, and they control tanks."

"The air force fights in the sky." (End of chapter)
