Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 183: Formation Breaking Music

Although the idiom of the Tocharian messenger is not very appropriate, his fluent Chinese has some charm.

Li Shimin attached great importance to cultural exports, and the writing and Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty had long become a must-learn language for surrounding vassal states.

There are many influences from Chinese culture. If you don't know the Tang Dynasty characters and Mandarin, you will laugh at it.

There is another reason why Mai Madi is so enthusiastic about Chen Qingsi: his son Abadam is studying at the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty.

There are many foreign students from all over the Tang Dynasty. Chinese culture is so extensive and profound that normal people can only acquire superficial knowledge in their lifetime, let alone these foreign students?
In addition, the colorful world in Chang'an is more colorful than that in the home country. Most of the people who can study abroad are the sons of chiefs of local tribes and even small crown princes. There are not many people who can resist temptation and devote themselves to study.

They have a special status, and the doctors at the Imperial College are too lazy to take care of them, and they are all in a state of laissez-faire.

Occasionally, they would encounter ostracism from the descendants of officials from their own country.

After all, in front of the superior people of the Tang Dynasty, such international students were no different from bumpkins.

Regardless of how they behaved in their own country, when they arrived in Chang'an, they acted like a reasonable person and became the targets of bullying...

Chen Qingsi's attitude was completely different from that of other Imperial College doctors. They ignored these international students, but Chen Qingsi regarded them as treasures.

These are the princes of other countries and are of great use in politics.

If you build a good relationship with them, they may become kings or powerful figures in the vassal country in the future. Training them to become pro-Tang representatives and handling some specific diplomatic matters will be miraculous.

Chen Qingsi was assigned to the Imperial Academy by Li Zhi with the intention of cultivating some pro-Tang nobles from Silla and Baekje.

When Chen Qingsi reformed the Imperial College, he took certain care of these international students, tried his best to eliminate bullying and exclusion, and even took special care of them on weekdays.

Most of the international students in the Imperial College are from nomadic or fishing and hunting peoples, and are good at horseback riding and archery.

Chen Qingsi asked them to teach them the skills of horseback riding and archery, so as to build a bridge of communication between foreign students and Han students.

Therefore, in the hearts of many international students, Chen Qingsi has a very high status.

Mai Maidi heard his son talk about Chen Qingsi and respected him very much.

Maimedi was the crown prince of Tocharia, but he had no competitiveness, so he sent his son to Chang'an, which could not only prevent the whole family from being singled out, but also increase his competitiveness for the throne.

As a father, it is natural for him to lower his profile towards his children's teachers.

When Chen Qingsi learned that Mai Madi's eldest son was in the Imperial College, he couldn't help praising his son.

McGrady's father was greatly relieved and laughed heartily.

In just two sentences, Mai Madi became very fond of Chen Qingsi.

The two chatted for a while, and it was time for the dinner to begin.

Tochara was very powerful in the Western Region and was considered a local hegemon. Its territory was connected with the Dashi Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty. It was close to the Tang Dynasty and hostile to the Dashi Kingdom.

Datang has no intention of competing with Dashi at the moment, and its strategic significance is extraordinary.

For some reason, Tocharo's banquet is located quite forward, in row No. 11 on the right.

The opening ceremony of the banquet was undoubtedly the national anthem of the Tang Dynasty, "Magic Breaking Formation Music".

The exciting dance music was deafening.

"Magic Formation Breaking Music" originated from the Qin King's Formation Breaking Music. After Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he improved it and named it Shengong Formation Breaking Music.This song is originally a military song of the Tang Dynasty, full of the killing atmosphere of the battlefield.It was also the first time for Chen Qingsi to listen to the famous "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation".

He himself has no musical ability, but when he first heard this song, a rush of passion surged into his heart. Combined with history, he seemed to be in the Battle of Baibi, where he saw a young God of War arrive first and defeat Liu Wuzhou in two days. Eat, don't take off your armor for three days, and defeat Liu Wuzhou in one battle.

Real music is never meant for a few people who know how to listen. Only music that can be heard by people who don’t understand music is truly excellent music.

This "Broken Formation Music" is like this. It makes people's blood boil, and it seems that they can feel Li Shimin's heroic spirit of leaping across the country.

No wonder this piece of music in history, "The Music of Breaking the Formation," allowed the Tang Dynasty, which should have been destroyed, to sustain itself for a few more years.

In history, Huang Chao's uprising was so powerful that it destroyed two capitals and trampled all the bones of officials.

When the rebels reached Fengxiang, the Tang army had no morale and no strength to resist. Fengxiang army surrendered without any suspense.

Messenger Huang Chao was in a good mood and had a musical celebration.

There was no other music in the military camp except the military song "Broken Formation Song".

When "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" sounded, the Fengxiang soldiers who had surrendered to Huang Chao burst into tears, and then their blood and energy surged up and they could no longer surrender!

Hearing this, the people also recalled the power of Emperor Taizong, who actually gathered a hundred thousand troops in a short period of time. The battle at Longweipei broke Huang Chao's dream of unifying the world, and he was ultimately defeated and killed.

Chen Qing never imagined that he would actually get excited by a piece of music. Thinking of that feeling, he couldn't help but look at the Tibetan envoy.

Along the way, all he thought about was that he did not want to be manipulated by others, and became a chess piece that others could play around with or even discard. He wanted to make a name for himself in this era.

Now, because of this song, I have an additional idea, to kill Tubo and continue the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

Song strike.

Mai Madi said with emotion: "This song has been widely spread in the Western Regions along with the military fronts of the Kingdom of China. I have listened to it more than a hundred times so far. Every time I hear it, I feel like I want to be on the battlefield and follow His Majesty the Heavenly Khan to fight."

Chen Qingsi also deeply agreed and filled up the wine for Mai Maidi.

The two talked about things in their respective hometowns.

Mai Maidi deliberately described the cruelty of the Dashi Kingdom, hoping to make Chen Qingsi have a bad impression of the Dashi Nation, so as to subtly make the entire Tang Dynasty have a bad impression of the Dashi Nation.

Chen Qingsi didn't tell the truth after seeing through it, but instead asked about the situation in Dashi Country and some things in the Western Regions.

McMahon was so happy to talk about the current situation of the food country, but it was inevitable to add some subjective opinions.

Chen Qingsi couldn't help but nodded to show that he understood, and then echoed: "The Great Food Country is indeed bullying others too much. Don't worry, your Majesty, if the Great Food Country really dares to go to war without declaring it, Your Majesty will not sit idly by."

He stated his position and then said casually: "I heard that Tubo and Dashi have close contacts, but I don't know if this is the case."

Mai Madi looked around and whispered: "Why not? Tubo has a good relationship with Dashi. They have a gem road, which goes west from Xiangxiong to the country of Dashi. Businessmen from both sides are constantly in contact. Tubo The envoys are all guests in the food country."

Chen Qingsi knew in her heart that this was the reason why Tubo was able to rise in a short period of time. Because of its wise kings and wise ministers, as well as special environmental advantages, they learned food from the West and Tang Dynasty from the East, integrating the cultural essence of the East and the West and achieving a century of glory.

He pulled Mai Madi and asked carefully.

Tucharo was at odds with Dashi, and he was also dissatisfied with Tubo who had both sides, so he told Chen Qingsi everything he knew.
