Chapter 546: Inspecting Beiping City

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

As soon as he came in, he knelt on one knee, very respectful.

"Get up."

The Emperor of Shihana nodded.

"Something happened on the border of my Khanate."

"The Tang army crossed our border and killed the troops of the Turkic tribes who fled into our Khanate." The general said immediately.

Hear this.

The emperor of Shihan's country's face suddenly turned ugly.

"How dare the Tang Kingdom be so bold?"

"Entering my Khanate and killing people?"

"They are declaring war on my Khanate."

"I will never forgive them." The emperor of Shihana roared angrily.

Hear the emperor's words.

Many of the noble officials of the Shihanna Kingdom in the hall also had angry expressions on their faces.

After learning some details about the Tang Dynasty, especially hearing that the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very young, they looked down on it a little.

"Declare war. Declare war on the Tang Empire for this emperor."

"Gather 300,000 troops and march to the Tang Kingdom to seize the Turkic land." The emperor of Shihana shouted loudly.

He was just worrying about whether he had a suitable reason to launch military action against the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty was crossing the border and killing people, this was just the reason given to them.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

"I think we can't send troops rashly now."

"Since the Tang Kingdom has crossed the border, it must have something to rely on. Maybe they have already deployed firearms and troops to defend the border."

"If we attack directly, we might fall into a trap."

A rational official from the Shihanna Kingdom spoke up.

"The Tang Kingdom has invaded my Khanate. Should I endure it? If the people of my Khanate knew about this, they would definitely call me incompetent." The Emperor of the Shihan Kingdom said coldly.

"I think."

"We can first send envoys to the Tang Kingdom to sternly accuse the Tang Kingdom of disrespect and force it to pay compensation. Secondly, our empire's envoys can also enter the Tang Kingdom to see what the national strength of the Tang Kingdom is like."

"Test their depths."

"If it is really weak, then the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty will belong to our Khanate." An official from the Shihanna Kingdom said with a sneer.

Listen to this.

The Emperor of Shihanna pondered for a moment and made a decision instantly.

"it is good."

"Dalek, since you brought it up."

"Then you should go to Tang State and test the depth of Tang State for me."

"Unless the Tang Kingdom is willing to cede territory and pay compensation, I will never let them off for crossing the border and killing people."

"Moreover, those Turkic people have already joined my Khanate. They are our people. If you kill our people without giving an explanation, the consequences will be serious." The emperor of the Shihan Khanate said coldly.

"I am willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor."

The noble official named Dalek responded immediately.

……

Peking Mansion.

High in the sky.

A huge pterosaur was hovering in the air. Standing on this pterosaur, everything in the entire Beiping Prefecture seemed to be under its overlooking.

Look towards Beiping Prefecture.

The outer city is still the same as before, but the inner city has been completely renovated, with newly built inner city walls, many newly built houses, and in the very center, there is a huge imperial palace, which was renovated based on the original Wu King Palace in Youzhou Prefecture.

Believe.

Soon.

This Beiping Prefecture will become the capital of the new era of the Tang Dynasty.

From the void, one could see that many craftsmen mobilized by the Tang Dynasty, civilian laborers recruited from the public, and countless slaves were all busy building the new capital.

This capital will be more majestic and more powerful than Chang'an.

"did you see that."

"This is the new capital of our Tang Dynasty."

"A new capital twice as big as Chang'an."

On the back of the pterosaur, Li Zheng said to Li Shimin happily.

He had been listening to the Ministry of Works reporting on the progress of the new capital's construction. Although he knew the situation, it was not as good as seeing it with his own eyes. So Li Zheng brought his father directly to the void of Beiping City to take a look.

“It’s bigger than Chang’an and can accommodate more people.”

"Although Youzhou is located in the northern border, the city has always been well built and is an important base in the north. I didn't expect that you would choose it as the capital of our Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said with a smile, feeling a little emotional.

"Beijing was regarded as the capital by later generations. I didn't expect that I would make it the capital during the Tang Dynasty. This is also a blessing."

"Sitting in Peking, you can see Liaodong and the northern border."

"After pacifying the northern border and conquering the barbarian countries, we can then open the road to the Western Regions." Li Shimin laughed loudly.

"Father, you will see it." Li Zheng smiled confidently.

Once again, I found a good place to take a look at the city of Beiping.

"Let's go back to Chang'an."

Li Zheng spoke up.

The hovering pterosaur immediately changed direction and flew towards Chang'an.

After so many years, Li Zheng has spared no effort in the training of the pterosaur. In addition to using the spirit stones for himself, the pterosaur is also used.

Now it has grown a lot bigger. When its body is spread out, it is already seven meters long, and when its wings are spread out, it is more than ten meters long. It is definitely a terrifying monster in the world.

The journey from Chang'an to Beiping is very long. If it were a horse, it would take six or seven days even if the rider traveled day and night. However, the pterosaur is flying in the void, and its speed has surpassed the original speed. Now it only takes about half a day to get back to Chang'an from Beiping.

After all, there is nothing blocking you at high altitudes.

Half a day later.

Chang'an Palace.

"It's so fast."

"It would be great if this kind of pterosaur could be popularized in the Tang Dynasty."

"That way, the time it takes to transmit military secrets and everything else in the Tang Dynasty will be shortened by 90%."

Looking at the pterosaur in front of him, Li Shimin said with some emotion.

In his old age, he still enjoyed the treatment that only gods could enjoy, but this also made him feel infinitely emotional.

"Father, there is only one such divine beast in the world."

"There can't be any more."

"but."

“Perhaps in the near future, my Tang Dynasty will also have a powerful weapon that can travel thousands of miles in a few days. Although it is not as fast as this pterosaur, it is definitely much faster than a war horse.” Li Zheng said with a smile.

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes flashed with surprise: "What weapon?"

"You'll know then."

"When it succeeds, I'll invite you to experience it first." Li Zheng said with a smile.

a few years ago.

Li Zheng handed the design drawings of the steam engine to the Ministry of Industry. After so much time had passed, they were still researching and trying, but the first one had already been made, but it had not yet been used in steam locomotives.

All this will take time.

Wait until it really happens.

Railroad tracks also need to be built.

These also take time.

Li Zheng has already given the plan to the Ministry of Industry.

Building railways with Beijing as the center instead of Chang'an is the future plan of the army.

"All right."

"I'm going back to rest."

"Don't be lazy, go and handle the affairs of state."

Li Shimin waved at Li Zheng, then yawned and walked towards his palace.
