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

Li Shimin was in a trance.

Staring blankly outside the hall.

Outside the Ganlu Temple, the sun has set, and its afterglow illuminates the world. The slightly scarlet sunlight of late autumn makes everything gentle.

But, it was at this time.

Suddenly, Empress Changsun rushed in again.

Empress Changsun was a little flustered and a little unbelievable, with shock in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Look! This is Changle's reply!"

Empress Changsun's voice was a little sharp.

Li Shimin was stunned and didn't react for a while.

Changle's reply? Just reply? What's so strange about it? Is it worth making such a fuss?

but,

When Empress Changsun walked up to him, Li Shimin suddenly reacted, stood up abruptly, stunned, and looked horrified.

Changle’s reply?
How long has it been?
Wasn't it just mailed out?

Now, the reply has arrived?

Gudong!

Li Shimin swallowed hard, his breathing exploded.

"This letter, this reply, are you sure it's a reply to the letter just now?"

"Is it the letter that Changle mailed to me before?"

Li Shimin stared at the letter in Empress Changsun's hand and asked in a hoarse and horrified voice.

At this moment, Li Shimin was frightened.

His hands were shaking as he held the letter.

To be honest, he really couldn't believe such a thing.

If I calculate carefully, it was only around noon when I sent the letter to Changle. Now, how many hours have passed?

The reply has arrived?
hiss.…

How could Li Shimin dare to believe this speed?

To be honest, Li Shimin really found it hard to accept.

Such a speed is absolutely impossible, so Li Shimin wondered whether this was a letter that Changle had sent a long time ago and just happened to receive it at this time.

Empress Changsun gave a bitter smile.

She reached out her hand and gently tapped a few words on the letter.

"Your Majesty, you wrote these questions while I was watching you."

"This is also a question that I have never mentioned before. This is definitely not the letter that Changle sent before."

"Although, although I dare not believe it, this should be the fact. This is the fact."

"Otherwise, I would not have come to see Your Majesty and let Your Majesty take a look."

Queen Changsun said in a deep voice.

Li Shimin pursed his cracked lips, and then swallowed hard.

"It can't be... it can't be someone else who replied to you."

"That's not right. Who would be so bored as to pretend to be Changle and reply to the letter? And this sentence, this tone, this habit, is indeed echoing Changle."

"But, this speed!"

Li Shimin frowned.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw the newspaper on the table.

telegraph!

In an instant, Li Shimin's whole spirit trembled. He immediately put down the letter in his hand, picked up the newspaper and read it carefully.

Telegraph towers are now all over Da Yan.

Da Yan's information transmission has entered a new era.

Li Shimin widened his eyes and stared at the report, looking incredulous.

Could it be that all of this is true?!
hiss!
How can it be!

How can it be!

how is this possible! !
Li Shimin really couldn't believe it. What was the use of their telegraph tower?

What on earth is a telegram?
Such speed, Dayan, how did you do it?
Li Shimin was confused.

He was really confused.

With a heavy look in his eyes, he glanced at Changle's letter beside him.

"This letter is not written by Changle. It should not be written by Changle himself. They... they have a very new messaging system in Dayan."

"Hoo! Guanyinbi, hurry up and write another letter to Changle now and see when you can receive a reply."

"quick!"

Li Shimin urged anxiously.

Empress Chang Sun nodded solemnly. She immediately wrote another letter and had it sent out.

"Can Dayan and the others fly?" Li Shimin muttered to himself.

"This... is faster than flying! It would take several hours for Dayan's plane to reach us, but this news..."

Li Shimin's eyes trembled.

"Your Majesty, Lord Fang, Lord Changsun, and Lord Li are asking for an audience."

At this time, Li Junxian reported.

"They are coming? What are they doing here at this time?"

Li Shimin was at a loss. He was still immersed in the speed of the telegram.

"Hiss, let them in."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

After a while,
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Li Jing rushed in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, have you read the Great Yan Weekly Report?"

"Your Majesty, the Great Yan... the Great Yan is about to show his majesty again. The Great Yan Emperor is about to show his majesty again."

"Your Majesty, the latest issue of the Great Yan Weekly has been published. Damn, I cannot understand what is written on it."

"...."

As soon as they came in, they talked about the Dayan Weekly.

There was no way out. This issue of the Dayan Weekly shocked and confused them. Many things in it were simply incomprehensible to the public, and they couldn’t even imagine them.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly when he heard this.

I thought something had happened again, but it turned out to be about the Dayan Weekly.

"Your Majesty, have you read the Dayan Weekly Report?" Fang Xuanling bowed and asked anxiously.

Li Shimin shook the Dayan Weekly in his hand somewhat weakly.

"Hiss! Your Majesty, what do you think of this issue of the Great Yan Weekly?"

"Daxia and the others... I don't even know what the things they recorded are."

"Your Majesty, we must understand these things, otherwise, in the future, Da Yan will use these things to torment us again."

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it seems that Dayan has achieved a lot of results this winter. Your Majesty, we must send people to Dayan to find out."

Li Qing looked at Li Shimin solemnly, and his words were all serious: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this important responsibility. I am willing to go to Dayan!"

"Help your majesty, help Datang figure out all these things about Dayan, otherwise, we will live in the shadow all day long, your majesty."

"This fighter jet of the Great Yan Air Force is about to take off for the first time. Your Majesty, I really want to see with my own eyes what this fighter jet is!"

Li Jing clenched his fists and spoke in a firm voice.

He is the Minister of War and one of the leaders of the Tang army. He has a natural responsibility and must find out the truth about the powerful weapon of the Great Flame. "Your Majesty, I am willing to follow the pharmacist to take a look. Your Majesty, we really need to find out what these things are." Changsun Wuji also echoed.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Dayan. I am not afraid of the trouble. For Your Majesty and for the Tang Dynasty!"

"I am also willing to accept this important task!"

Fang Xuanling said excitedly.

Li Shimin looked at the three people quietly.

Empress Changsun stood beside Li Shimin and sighed.

"Dayan, you have to go!"

“You must go too!”

After a while, Li Shimin's voice slowly rang out. He looked at the three people and took a deep breath again: "But...but if you go, it's not enough, far from enough."

"This time, I will go to Dayan to take a look myself."

"How can you possibly understand these things of Dayan if you don't see them with your own eyes?"

Li Shimin finally made a decision.

Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji and Li Jing exchanged a glance, then bowed deeply: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The three of them shouted in unison.

Li Shimin waved his hand.

"You guys go down."

"Get ready. As for when to go, just follow my arrangements."

Li Shimin said a little tiredly.

Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji and Li Jing took their leave.

Ganlu Palace fell into silence again.

Then, Li Shimin stood up, clutching the Great Yan Weekly tightly, and glanced at Empress Changsun who was standing behind him: "Guanyin, you will follow me when the time comes."

"Changle seems to understand some of the inside story better than us. When the time comes, Changle will have to come forward to arrange various things."

"I...I can't communicate with Changle, so when the time comes, I'll rely on you."

I have to say that Li Shimin was really far-sighted.

He thought about this very clearly.

Apart from anything else, Changle will take them to see the houses in the new district of Yanyun City. It will save them a lot of trouble than if they explore on their own.

Of course, Li Shimin would not be so bored as to really ask Changle to take him to the house. After all, that would make him seem too stupid.

By then, how much of his authority as the emperor would be left?

The most important thing is to be prepared!

Empress Changsun laughed when she heard this.

Then, he nodded repeatedly.

Of course she wouldn't refuse to visit Yanyun City.

then,

Li Shimin left and returned to his bedroom to rest and study carefully this issue of the Dayan Weekly.

The sun sets and the night becomes quiet.

But, in the middle of the night, Empress Changsun pushed open the door of Li Shimin's bedroom.

Li Shimin rubbed his sagging eyes and looked at Empress Changsun in confusion.

Candles were lit and the room was dim.

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin was at a loss.

Empress Changsun didn't say anything, but handed the letter in her hand to Li Shimin.

this time,

Li Shimin, who was a little dazed just now, suddenly stood up.

Quickly lie down under the candle.

This letter was actually Changle's reply.

Some of the questions above are what they specifically asked in the previous letter. They usually don’t mention these questions. This time they just wanted to verify the speed and efficiency, but they didn’t expect…
Gudong!

Li Shimin swallowed his saliva, and all his sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

"How many hours?" He raised his head numbly and asked tremblingly.

"It's been about three hours." Empress Changsun replied.

Li Shimin sat down on the stool.

Three hours!

Within three hours, the news was not only transmitted from Chang'an to Yanyun City, but also sent back from Yanyun City.

Not to mention, this is in Chang'an, and there is a certain distance from Chang'an to Pu County.

In fact, most of the time, the speed of sending the letter is still wasted on Datang himself. If he sent a letter to Changle in Pu County, the time would definitely be much shorter.

this.…

Li Shimin was numb.

He was really numb.

At this speed, it means that from now on, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to launch any surprise attack on the Yan Dynasty.

What kind of bullshit surprise attack could there be?

What is the purpose of the surprise attack? It is the information gap!

Throughout the dynasties, there were delays in the speed of sending letters. For example, when you attacked a city, this city requested support from another city.

But when the news reaches another city, it is almost too late to fight on your side, and by the time another city sends troops to support you, everything is over.

For example, an army is launching a surprise attack on another city. You are the first to discover the news and want to pass on the message. But, to be honest, your speed of transmitting the message may not be as fast as that of the surprise attack team!
It is precisely this information gap that has made wars throughout the dynasties full of uncertainties.

But now, Dayan and the others!
It’s unimaginable, really unimaginable, there is almost no information gap in Dayan.

But what about the Tang Dynasty?
When the battle begins, Da Yan will really be a flexible whole, able to attack wherever they are pointed, and deploy the troops as they wish.
On my side, it takes a long time for the brain to respond after issuing a command. This gap is huge, and it is absolutely fatal to war.

Gudong!

Li Shimin swallowed and felt his throat sore.

"Damn it, this Da Yan, how did they research these things?"

"This thing has never appeared in all dynasties. How did Dayan and his team develop it?"

"What's in the mind of Emperor Yan?"

"Why do I feel that compared to him, I..."

Li Shimin was confused. He really didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Li Shimin realized that the gap between people was huge.

Empress Changsun said nothing, and she didn't know what she could say.

After a while, she went back to rest, while Li Shimin sat in the room until dawn.

……

Chang'an is a little chaotic and a little boiling.

And undoubtedly, all of this was caused by the latest issue of Da Yan Weekly.

Yesterday, the Great Yan Weekly was delivered to the wealthy and powerful in Chang'an, and by the next day, almost all the ordinary people in Chang'an had seen it.

"Dayan's fighter jet is about to take off for the first time in ten days. No, I have to go and see it. I must witness this scene with my own eyes. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will never be willing to accept it in this lifetime. Let's go, pack up and go to Xiadu."

"Fighter plane, fighter plane, has Dayan really built one? Oh my god, Dayan is indeed the pride of China, Dayan is really amazing!"

"What is this car? Is it more convenient than a horse-drawn carriage?"

"Who knows? I've never seen it. But, judging by the description, it seems to be much better than a carriage. But I still have to see it with my own eyes. No, I'm itching to see it, but who will look after my shop if I leave?"

"What's the point of looking at a shop? You can earn copper coins anytime, but if you miss the first flight, you will never have it in your lifetime."

"That's right, I've also decided that I want to go to Yanyun City as well. Want to join us?"

"This is definitely necessary. Okay, I will go pack my things. Damn, I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have seen a fighter jet. It is so terrifying. With this speed, if what is written above is true, we will arrive in Chang'an in a few hours. By then, it will be easier for Dayan to attack us, right?" (End of this chapter)
