Datang first village

[The last 10 minutes, friends who have a monthly pass, please vote.Vote for Datang]

Since the Zhenguan Year, what will be left in the hearts of the people every year?

In the third year of Zhenguan, a song "The Prosperous Tang Dynasty" was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Walking on the streets of Chang'an, if you say you can't sing "The Great Tang Dynasty", are you still qualified to say that you are from Chang'an?

The fourth day of the first lunar month in the third year of Zhenguan is considered a new year.In Huazhou, the most powerful sword in the hands of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and King Qin of the Datang Dynasty, Huazhou of the Datang Dynasty, is a state under the jurisdiction of the entire army.It faces Chang'an in the west and Tongguan in the east.It doesn't belong to any control. If it is said that Huazhou can be controlled, only General Tiance's Mansion is the only one.

In the snow, Ashnadur, who was shirtless, was sharpening his knife.

"One more day!" A young schoolboy next to him said while flipping through the roasted sheep.

These four words moved all the men here.This is not a military camp, but the military area of ​​Leiqi. During the New Year of the Tang Dynasty, they were roasting sheep according to the Turkic custom, but the hearts of the men had already flown to the battlefield.

Ashnadur tried the edge of the blade with his fingers, and looked northward: "He, maybe he is also sharpening the blade!"

he?

Naturally, it refers to Little Khan Tuli.

Everyone in Leiqi knew that the battle of Gaochang was a battle that Tuli Little Khan would surely win, but unfortunately he did not have the opportunity to send troops, and the Western Turks took the lead, and the tribe of Tuli Little Khan was also holding back a battle. Tone, waiting for the order to fight.

"Only his [-] Stormtroopers can compete with our Thunder Riders. There are also the Uyghur Scimitar Riders, and the Blast Wind Riders of the backbone tribe. Our Thunder Riders can't afford to lose this battle, Tiance The title of Four Guards cannot be lost to them." Zhili Sili jumped up and yelled.

All the cavalry stood up: "Fight!"

Ashnadur did not respond and continued to sharpen his knife.Princess Hengyang put a bottle of hot wine beside Ashnadur: "In this battle, Goguryeo will be destroyed. I have inquired about it. The emperor dispatched troops. There are a total of thirteen cavalry troops. Each has 3000 people. , you just stare at the desert, don't underestimate the Khitan people who have just completed internal integration. According to the news from the Imperial Security Department, the Khitan king named his cavalry army, Spike Cavalry. The snow leopard cavalry of the Mohe people. Originally The garrison is in Lanzhou, under the command of General Zhang Gongjin, selected [-] cavalry troops, although they are not named, but they should not be underestimated!"

"En!" Ashnadur nodded vigorously: "They are all strong troops!"

"The thunder cavalry of Brother Five Emperors, led by Mr. Lang, is already well-known. But like this time, thirteen elite cavalry troops are dispatched at the same time, and each army will have the idea of ​​​​competing each other. Rush forward must be a big mistake, and greed for merit is also a big mistake." There will be accidents, but you have to be cautious to get a good meritorious service, and you have to think more about how to measure it!"

Princess Hengyang continued to suggest.

Not to mention Ashnadur, the officers here can hear clearly.

This battle is definitely not ordinary.

Ashnadur put away the knife, and took the padded robe that Princess Hengyang was holding: "Brothers eat and drink, we need to discuss our tasks today!"

Few people drank, and most of the meat was reserved for the women.After eating a few hasty bites, the men entered the tent to discuss military affairs.

Lei Qi is an elite, and they want to compete for a superior one.

What about ordinary soldiers?

In Huazhou, almost all the families who need to send troops are helping to pack their luggage.

An old man, nearly sixty years old, was sitting on the kang, drinking soju, and bones with meat were boiled in the pot.

Take one piece out and put it in a bowl, the old man sniffed it, took a sip of the wine, and smacked his lips in satisfaction: "Little three, little four. Let's talk about when a certain soldier was in the army. It's about to go to war. Your mother is here." Weeping to death in the room, I'm afraid I won't be able to see XX once he leaves."

"Nonsense, it's a great joy for my son to go to war!"

"Okay, old man, I'm talking nonsense. When is it a great joy to go to war? Who was the one who was crying like mourning back then."

"Bah bah bah! Damn old man, you have such a stinky mouth." The old woman stuffed a bone into the old man's mouth, and the whole family laughed happily. In a marching backpack. "Remember to change and wash, don't wait until the white cloth is worn and smelly and black!"

The young sergeant just grinned.

The old man took the bone out of his mouth, and withdrew the smile on his face: "You two, listen carefully. The last time you went to the expedition, you two only earned one piece of hard work, but the Hei Qi family in the same village had four songs." We don’t compare ourselves to others, but you still have to fight for one and come back. If you haven’t made any military achievements twice in a row, our family can’t afford to lose this man.”

"Didn't my brother make the five poems?" the young sergeant retorted.

"Fart, the last time Dalang made meritorious deeds was when he fought against Shuofang. Right now Dalang is stationed on that island, and he has been rewarded for two or three years, but I'm afraid he hasn't been able to beheaded. Let you practice in normal times, don't worry about it. This time If you come back without meritorious deeds, don't enter the house."

From being afraid when I heard about the expedition, to looking forward to the expedition.

In just a few short years, ordinary soldiers' families have undergone slight changes.

When night fell, the young daughter-in-law was crying quietly.Maybe it's because of separation, maybe it's because of worry.But he didn't have the feeling of fear that he had when he sent troops or served hard labor.

Follow the generals of the Tang Dynasty to send troops, and the chances of returning alive are still very high.

In the past few years, except for the time at You Wuwei, I have never heard of any serious casualties in that guard.The last time they fought Goguryeo, it was almost a total victory. The number of casualties for the entire army was even lower than the number of accidental casualties during the march in the previous Sui Dynasty. The battle damage can be ignored.

Before nightfall, the villages are starting to visit houses from house to house.

The first is to check the preparations of the sergeants of each family before sending out troops, and the second is to ask to see which family has any difficulties.The third one is more important. If there is an orphan in the family sending troops, then each family in the village should be assigned to take care of them.It is also necessary to let those who send troops feel at ease and not worry about their families.

In the city of Chang'an, among the restaurants and teahouses, the war is being negotiated.

Some talk about interest, some purely because of news effects.

Yaozhou!Wu Zhao is also preparing to dispatch, and the Hangzhou must have stayed, because only the Hangzhou has complete and beautiful rooms. This one was originally designed as a passenger ship, and it was also designed as a luxurious noble cabin.In the future, we will also take the route of Hangzhou and Lingnan.

Craftsmen are urgently transforming the airship.

The main reason is to remove a floor covering an area of ​​one foot square in one of the warehouses and transform it into a pure glass floor.And there must be windows that can be opened.

In addition, there is a stainless steel shelf that can be turned and moved.

A two-foot-five-inch lens is fixed on this shelf. This is Wu Zhao's aerial photography equipment.Although primitive, it can be placed in Datang, but it is a very powerful device.

The red-haired girl Zhang Chuchen was standing in this warehouse: "Is this thing really so precious that my mother has to protect it?"

"One knife is enough for this thing. This time I invited my sister to come with me because we are going to Emerald Valley. Don't you like Hong sister?" Li Lanshan said softly beside her.

Zhang Chuchen was stunned for a moment. When she received the request, she only knew that there was a very important military mission.

Then there is one thing, which is very, very important, Wu Bin alone is not enough, so I invite her to come out.

But how could Zhang Chuchen not be surprised when Li Lanshan talked about Emerald Valley.When he realized it, Zhang Chuchen smiled: "My sister thanked you in advance. I am afraid that no one knows where the Emerald Valley is except for the cronies of Prince Qin's mansion. My sister is the first outsider!"

"It's not hard to find there, but there are really other ways to get there besides flying boats. It's now the Tupan people's territory, but Tupan doesn't know what's there. According to the record left by Li Yuanxing last time, there But it is very desolate, and there is no human habitation, even if someone sees us, it will only be regarded as us moving some stones."

Zhang Chuchen chuckled: "When the Turpan people realize it, it may be ten years later."

"Ten years, I don't know what will happen after ten years?" Li Lanshan replied.

"Yes, my family's idiot knows how to fight. I'm afraid he will be flat in ten years." Zhang Chuchen's idiot said that he has a special affection for Li Jing.

Li Lanshan went on to say: "There are too many good things in this world, and I can never have them all. Three of my favorites, one is Jadeite, which is already our Datang's right now, and the other one is called Golden Valley, which is too far away." Even the flying boat can’t fly there. There’s too much gold there, more than that mountain of silver.”

Wu Zhao walked in with a box of snacks, and when he heard that there was a lot of gold, he immediately said, "If you want gold, you must support me in building an iron-clad battleship. Only battleships can guarantee that it definitely belongs to us."

Li Lanshan didn't answer, and then said: "There is another place, farther away. Battleships are not enough there, and strong enough army soldiers are needed. There are good things that can make Mingyue go crazy. As far as I know, in her In my heart, that thing is more precious than emeralds!"

"Nonsense, emeralds are our treasures in China." Wu Zhao obviously lacked confidence.

Zhuan Er added: "That's just my personal preference."

"I would also like!"

"What is it?" Zhang Chuchen asked, purely out of curiosity.

Wu Zhao interjected: "There is a kind of ore in Jinzhou, which is very exquisite after being polished. It is called diamond. However, the grade of that diamond is too poor to show its preciousness. It can only be used for industrial purposes. The real treasure diamond is far away from us. Datang is five miles and ten thousand miles away."

Zhang Chuchen didn't take it seriously: "The distance is not a problem, as long as you know the place. Just occupy it."

"Take it down!" In the Tang Palace, there were still people saying the same thing.

Datang Zhongshu Ling Li Jing, Li Yaoshi.He was pointing at the map and shouting to Feng An, that is the location of Halong Bay in later generations, the natural seaport area, the place Li Jing wants to occupy, first the few uninhabited islands, and then twenty miles from the seaport.Now in Datang, it still belongs to the indigenous area.

It is not considered to be the territory of Tang Dynasty, nor is it considered to belong to Baiyue.

In the early Tang Dynasty in history, the national boundary between the Tang Dynasty and Baiyue was not clear at all, because the south was not really pacified. (To be continued.)
