Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 238 Li Zhi shows off

As the saying goes, literature is not the first, military is not the second.

For example, Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen both devalued Li Bai and promoted Du Fu; while Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were both recommended by Li Bai alone.

But Han Yu, who was originally a little transparent behind them, was different. He was an out-and-out Li Duchui.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Han Yu's eyes were sharp.

"Your Majesty Taizong, I also want to..." Han Yu didn't care much and eagerly applied to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't know him, but thinking that the people named here by Li Qing must have some merits, he asked: "Who are you?"

"I...I am Han Yu!" Han Yu couldn't finish his words and was so excited.

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Li Qing. Li Qing smiled and introduced softly: "This is the leader of the legendary 'Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties', Han Yu."

According to the course of history, Han Yu should still be serving as Cao Cao in Jiangling and joining the army, but with Li Qing's order, Han Yu was naturally brought to the capital.

Officials like Han Yu who cared about social reality and criticized Buddhism were rare in this era. Since Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty worshiped Buddhism, a strong ethos of worshiping Buddhism has emerged among both the government and the public, so much so that... I can’t say more.

In short, after the incident of welcoming the Buddha's bones, Han Yu directly "reported to the Nine Heavens in the morning and demoted the eight thousand people on Chaozhou Road in the evening."

After the amnesty, Emperor Xianzong changed Han Yu to be the governor of Yuanzhou. According to the custom in Yuanzhou, if a commoner's daughter is mortgaged to be a slave, and if the daughter is not redeemed beyond the contract period, she will not be a domestic slave by the person who paid the money. After Han Yu arrived, he tried to redeem the men and women who had been enslaved as domestic slaves and let them return to their parents. So this custom was banned and people were not allowed to be bought as slaves.

However, Han Yu was an upright man. When the officers and soldiers of the Shence Army heard that Han Yu took office as Jing Zhaoyin, they did not dare to break the law. They warned each other privately: "He even dared to burn the bones of Buddha. How dare we break the law."

This is also the reason why Li Qing admires Han Yu.

Of course, Li Shimin also knew about Han Yu's life. In fact, when he had nothing to do on weekdays, Li Shimin always held up an "Old Book of Tang" and read it at night. After reading "Old Book of Tang", he read "New Book of Tang". It was inevitable that he would be eager to beat up Ouyang Xiu.

The Li family's gossipy scandals were all compiled into the history books by Ouyang Xiu, an irresponsible bitch.

Damn it, it’s even worse than biscuits!

Li Shimin has decided that if he goes to the period of Song Renzong, the waists of the literati headed by Ouyang Xiu must be broken, their legs will be broken, and their ribs will be fractured.

This is no longer an ordinary act of distorting history, it must be hit hard!

Li Shimin agreed to Han Yu's request.

He has read both "Shi Shuo" and "Horse Shuo". Overall, the ancient prose is indeed more meaningful than the parallel four-legged and six-character prose. Since the Six Dynasties, the prose has been gorgeous and flashy, and the pursuit of gorgeous writing has actually lost the meaning of the article itself.

Let Han Changli teach the two grandsons Li Xiang and Li Jue first, and then arrange for Han Yu to find a suitable place.

"Han Yu, I know you." Li Shimin nodded to Han Yu in affirmation: "I have read your articles, and I have some knowledge of your deeds. You are a straight minister who is dedicated to the people."

Han Yu was deeply moved when he heard this.

Emperor Taizong actually heard of my story!

"I am willing to die for His Majesty Taizong!" Han Yu's face was full of loyalty.

Li Song really didn't dare to get angry or say anything about his grandfather poaching him.

Don't dare to be angry if you are angry, that is your wife... Grandpa, in terms of seniority, not to mention him, even his father Li Shi and his grandfather Li Yu had to kneel down and sing Conquer.

"You should handle the affairs in the court by yourself." Li Shimin finally made a decision, "I will send out 10,000 Tiance troops to help you annihilate the three towns of Heshuo."

Ten thousand people?

Everyone looked at each other, including Li Song.

After being stunned for a long time, Li Song asked calmly: "Grandpa Taizong, can this... ten thousand people do it?"

"Remove the word "?" Li Zhi said with great enthusiasm: "The strength of the Tiance Army is beyond your imagination. If Aye hadn't seen you anxious, only three thousand people could have easily defeated He. Shuosan Town.”

Indeed, Li Zhi was right. All living things are equal before Maxim... It should not be called Maxim now, it should be called Zhenguan 17-type water-cooled heavy machine gun.

The theoretical rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute, and the effective range is one thousand meters. I remember when I led the British to serve as slaves in Africa, an army of more than 50 people defeated more than 5,000 African swarms with just four Maxim heavy machine guns. Although it may not be so exaggerated in the Tang Dynasty, it is enough to defeat the three towns of Heshuo.

Seeing that Li Song was a little suspicious, Li Zhi asked him to go out, and also took the ministers of the Yongzhen Dynasty with him. Li Zhi randomly selected a machine gun team from the Tiance Army and asked them to demonstrate for these bumpkins in the palace.

It's somewhat counter-intuitive. People from two hundred years ago taught people two hundred years later about modern science and technology, and treated them like rubes...

When it comes to abstraction, it's not that abstract.

The soldiers of the Tiance Army set up their machine guns and aimed at the ginkgo trees in the palace to open fire.

"Wait!" Li Shimin yelled.

The soldiers immediately stood up and looked at each other at a loss.

"This... I planted this with my own hands, change it!" Li Shimin looked at the ginkgo tree distressedly. It was planted by him and Empress Changsun together...

However, it is still standing here after more than two hundred years? You must not let anyone ruin it.

"Just hit that wall." Li Zhi pointed to the palace wall not far away and said.

Logically speaking, palace walls can also be considered cultural relics. But thinking that it could still be repaired, no one tried to stop it.

After the Tiance Army cleared the area to ensure that no one would appear behind the palace wall, the three soldiers began to operate the Zhenguan 17-type water-cooled heavy machine gun and fired at the palace wall.

"Da da da da da..." The heavy machine gun's muzzle spit out fiery snakes, making a rhythmic sound.

The ministers of Yongzhen were shocked when they heard this.

How could this humble thing burst out with so much energy?

"This..." Li Song pointed to the palace wall in the distance and said nothing for a long time.

The ministers of Yongzhen looked in the direction of Li Song's finger, and saw an exclamation mark and a question mark marked by a heavy machine gun on the palace wall.

After fighting for half a minute, the palace wall was finally overwhelmed and fell to the ground.

"This... with this magical weapon, our Tang Dynasty will not have to worry about border troubles!" Li Song looked at the heavy machine gun with bright eyes. He was really greedy.

If Datang's army was equipped with such weapons, what would he have to worry about? Not to mention the three towns of Heshuo, he dared to bring the Uighurs, Tubos, Dashijia and Nanzhao together.

I think this is a kind of confidence.

Li Zhi looked at Li Song with disgust, just now you didn't believe in the power of the heavy machine gun, what about now? Doesn't it still smell really good?

Hey, you don’t understand technology and make judgments...

Li Song immediately said that no matter who Grandpa Taizong wanted to fight, he would help.

When it's time to provide money, when it's time to provide personnel, and when it's time to provide food and supplies, Li Song will take care of it! As a result, when Li Song just said this sentence, he was laughed at by Li Zhi again.

just you? Also provide logistics to Tiance Army?

At Li Zhi's invitation, Li Songjun and his ministers, who had question marks on their faces, followed him to the cooking camp of Tiance Army.

Li Zhi must open their eyes and let them see what military rations are.

"Smells! It's so fragrant!" Li Song held a bowl of braised pork in his arms. On the plate, there was also a dish of sliced ​​pork belly and a dish of dried tofu with hot peppers, both for meals.

Even as an emperor, he had never tasted this rich taste.

It will take decades for the cooking technology to be developed, and what Li Song eats now is no different from what Li Shimin did back then.

Then Hun Yang is suddenly a big dish - how to make it? There is a big goose in the roasted lamb's belly, and there is a quail in the big goose's belly. The quail's belly is filled with rice and eggs. It is not very oily, but it also has a strong smell of spices...

The fragrance is indeed quite fragrant, but a bit too much.

Let's look at what the Tiance Army people eat. From the commander to the soldiers, they all have the same configuration. That is, they have the emperor at their table, and they also have happy drinks like Coke. The rest are exactly the same. The most outrageous thing is that the braised pork is even fried to a sugary color.

"Is this what you usually eat?" Han Yu walked up to a Tiance Army soldier holding an iron rice plate.

"Of course." The soldier put the rice in his mouth, "But there are not so many vegetables every day. I guess I added two vegetarian vegetables because I saw you guys coming..."

"..." Han Yu took a deep breath and didn't know what to answer.

Green vegetables? Who really likes to eat vegetables?

But this spinach with nuts is really delicious...

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Tiancejun thought about. All the people here are dignitaries, so they must be tired of eating meat. Wouldn't it be nice to add two small vegetarian dishes?

"Are you still providing logistics for the army?" Li Zhi winked at Li Song.

Li Song let out a long burp, and it took him a long time to regain his composure: "Well, Grandpa Gaozong, Mr. Ma needs fodder, right?"

"Our horses don't eat grass or feed, they only eat oil." Li Zhi said with a smile.

Li Song:......

Eat oil?

That...that's not affordable.

As we all know, the people in the Tang Dynasty were so poor that they were so poor that they wanted to catch a toad and pee out, but they really couldn't squeeze out any oil.

Seeing the embarrassment of his grandson, Li Zhi smiled and said: "This oil is refined from stones. Even if I ask you to provide it...forget it, why are I telling you this? Don't you?" I understand, but you don’t understand…”

Li Zhi stood with his hands behind his hands, looking as if his life was as lonely as snow.

"You will know when you follow the footsteps of the Zhenguan Dynasty and build and develop science and technology together." Li Xian comforted him with a smile.

Li Yu also nodded. His Dali Dynasty was now almost in sync with the Zhenguan Dynasty, but without Li Qing's life-threatening help, this technological development would have been limited to Chang'an City. But the railways and other things are relatively complete. At least if something happens in Europe, it will be very quick to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion.

In the past, when a rebellion broke out in the three towns of Heshuo, it would take several months to prepare before it could be launched. But things are different now. If there is a problem in Europe, it can be organized in a matter of ten days and arrive in Europe to put down the rebellion.

This is the power of technology. Li Yu was so fascinated by it that he even taught himself calculus and used it to pass the time when he had nothing else to do.

In Li Yu's opinion, studying math problems is much more interesting than women.

What kind of thinking does a man of science think...

The plan to attack the three towns of Heshuo was completed at the dinner table. The imperial court will not accept any surrender. It must make the three towns of Heshuo a model and punish them well to scare the monkeys.

However, Li Zhi thought too much, and Heshuo had no intention of surrendering or compromising with the court during the three suppressions of Heshuo.

Then the next thing was simple. The 10,000 motorized troops of Tiance Army quickly arrived at the third town of Heshuo. After a earth-shaking bombardment, Wei Bo Jiedushi was the first to surrender.

After the surrender of Wei Bo Jiedushi, the other two towns expressed their willingness to revoke the title of Jiedushi and return to the rule of the imperial court.

There is no other way, whoever is willing to take the cannon can go, anyway, they don't want to listen to the roar of the cannon fire anymore.

After San Kuai Ji announced the abolition of the vassal town, the remaining hereditary Jiedu envoys also announced their surrender one after another and returned to the rule of the imperial court.

The tooth soldier election method was completely wiped out in the dust of the Yongzhen Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.

After dealing with the Jiedu envoys of the Yongzhen Dynasty, Li Qing and others returned to the Zhenguan Dynasty.

The assistance from the Yongzhen Dynasty still needs to be carried out. After all, they are all descendants of his Li family. Li Shimin must not be short of their assistance.

The working group has long been used to it. From Yonghui to Dali, who has not been assisted by them in these years?

Without him, only familiar with Seoul.

Also returning with them were Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi.

As a big fan of Li Bai and Du Fu, Han Yu couldn't let go of them after meeting them and insisted on having a good chat.

Not only Li Bai and Du Fu were in the Zhenguan Dynasty, but people like Wang Wei, He Zhizhang and others are now serving in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

Compared to the Ming Dynasty, this is now called the Zhongzhengying Dynasty.

Look, which one of them has not been included in the textbooks of future generations of primary and secondary school students?

You might be confused just by the name, but if you want to talk about how jasper makes up a tree, or how children don't recognize each other when they see each other, these are all famous quotes by He Zhizhang.

Throughout the ages, the ancient poems that can be included in the textbooks of primary and secondary school students are all extremely famous.

The heaven and earth in Chang'an City is the favorite place for poets. Every time I go there, I leave behind a pile of poems that will be sung throughout the ages. The boss was also happy. The business was already good and the quality was good. With the support of these poets, it became extremely popular in heaven and earth. Even people from the Han Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty came from thousands of miles away to come here.

For example, the Zhu Clan brothers, who invite friends and companions to Datang every day to join in the fun, must go to heaven and earth, and then send WeChat videos to Li Ke. Looking at Li Ke's gnashing of teeth, Zhu Fang always felt a twisted sense of pleasure.

Li Qing didn't go much, he was thinking about becoming an immortal now.

The Yongzhen Dynasty has been busy, and the next one is the Yuanhe era of Tang Xianzong and Li Chun.

Yuanhe Zhongxing... gave countless people in later generations daydreams. If Tang Xianzong Li Chun had not died so early, perhaps the Tang Dynasty would have embarked on a different path.
