Chapter 250 Disadvantages of Knowing Foreign Languages

Keelung City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. It was originally an extremely dangerous place. When the more than 1 natives attacked from the south, they had to pass through a canyon. However, in the middle of this canyon, Lu Qing had already built a The pass, named Nanxiaguan, is usually guarded by a thousand soldiers. Firstly, it is to collect taxes from merchants who enter Liuqiu inland, and secondly, it is precisely to guard against the natives.

These natives are blocked by Nanxiaguan, their productivity is low, even iron tools are very rare, and their fighting methods are very primitive. Therefore, when facing such a tall city, they have no effective means of attack at all. He rushed forward, but was killed by a shower of arrows from the soldiers on the top of the city, and they all retreated in fright.

The leaders of the natives are not fools. Seeing that so many people died without even touching the city gates of the other side, they immediately understood that with their strength, it was impossible to capture the city of the Han people, but they But he was unwilling to be reconciled, after all, it was not easy to come once, and so many clansmen died, so naturally he was even more unwilling to retreat.Later, several leaders discussed it, and finally decided to use up the defenders at the bottom of the city and Nanxiaguan. They would not attack the city or retreat. They just sent people to curse loudly at the bottom of the city.

The soldiers guarding the city are all old men under Lu Qing's subordinates, who have lived in Liuqiu for many years, and some of them were even born in Liuqiu.Naturally, the soldiers on the top of the city were not to be outdone by the natives' scolding war, and responded to each other in native language.Capital Datang 251

However, there is a problem here, that is, the mother tongue spoken by the other party, no matter how proficient the soldiers on the top of the city are, they are inherently weak, and coupled with the large number of the other party, the gang is tired of scolding , You can change another batch and continue to scold. In this way, the soldiers on the top of the city will naturally not be able to scold each other.

They couldn't scold the opponent with their mouths, and the superiors strictly prohibited them from going to war. This made the soldiers in Nanxiaguan very aggrieved, but no matter how aggrieved they had to bear it, after all, the military orders were like mountains, and no one had the courage to resist them.If there were no accidents, this situation would continue until Li Yin came with a large army, and then opened the city gate, smashing the opponent's team in one fell swoop, but there happened to be an accident that interrupted this deadlock, and even more Coincidentally, this accident has a great relationship with Li Zhen.

It is said that after Li Zhen knew that he had caused such a big disaster, he felt very guilty. Of course, as a prince, no one can do anything to him, but Li Zhen is still a responsible person despite his young age. If you feel that you have caused trouble, then you have to find a way to bear it. Of course, he is not stupid enough to fight the natives desperately, and Yan Bei and others will never agree with him to do so.But it doesn't matter if he can't go to the battlefield, he can also do other things to express his apology.

It was precisely because of this idea that Li Zhen persuaded the seventh brother Li Yun, and then took out the private money he brought to buy a large amount of wine and meat, and personally sent them to Nanxiaguan to reward the army with Li Yun.Originally, Yanbei didn't want Li Zhen to get involved with the natives, but seeing Li Yun walking with him, he didn't stop him. After all, Li Yun is 16 years old, and he is timid, so he shouldn't cause any trouble. Come.

It's a pity that Yanbei miscalculated again this time. When Li Zhen and Li Yun rushed to Nanxiaguan, what they saw was the incomparably arrogant abuse of the natives in the city. Don't get me wrong, after all, when they scold others in Chinese, they don't understand, but when they scold them in native language, they understand everything. From this, it can be seen that learning another foreign language is not necessarily a good thing!

Seeing this situation, Li Zhen's temper flared up again, but although his temper was irritable, he could tell the difference between the serious and the serious, knowing that he could not fight without authorization. After all, there was Keelung City behind him, not only tens of thousands of people and businessmen, but also For important people like Wu Meiniang and Cui Mengxue, if these natives were allowed to attack the city, the consequences would definitely be very serious.

Although he can't leave the city, Li Zhen is not a master who will not fight back when he is scolded. If there is a movement of the head, it will immediately retreat, and it will not hurt many people at all.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhen became even more angry, and when she turned her head, she saw the rocket placed on the top of the city, and she grabbed the torch in her heart and set the fuse on fire.Originally firearms were very precious weapons in the army, no one dared to use them without orders from above, otherwise how could the soldiers guarding the city be scolded and not fight back?

The guard at Nanxiaguan saw that Li Zhen was doing it himself, but he didn't dare to stop him. He could only watch helplessly as the rocket flew away from the launching rack, and then rushed into the large army of natives with a burst of flame.

For this sudden attack, the natives had no preparations at all, and they didn't know what was flying. Even after the rocket landed, it didn't explode immediately because of the fuse problem, which also attracted many natives. They all stepped forward to watch, but it turned out to be a tragedy.

There was only a loud bang of "Boom~", and the stumps of countless natives flew into the sky.The soldiers on the top of the city naturally applauded loudly, while the natives below cried for their father and mother.In fact, with the power of black gunpowder, not many people were actually killed on the spot, at most only the nearest dozen or so people, but the area involved was extremely large, and many locals who were close Suffering from minor or serious injuries, these injured natives uttered miserable cries, which made the uninjured natives around them even more terrified.

These natives are still in a primitive society, and each has its own primitive religion, and among the primitive religions, there is generally one thing in common, that is, the worship of natural phenomena, such as wind, rain, thunder, electricity and so on.However, the sound and light effect caused by the rocket is very similar to the effect of thunder and lightning. Coupled with the scene of flying flesh and blood, these natives believe that everything in front of them is the anger of heaven, so they use thunder and lightning to give them a Jing What frightened them even more was that this kind of lightning came from the side of the Han people. Could it be that the sky is also on the side of the Han people?

After the rocket exploded, almost most of the natives had the above thoughts, and some even fell to their knees in fright, crawling on the ground and muttering to themselves, as if they were pleading guilty to the gods.Seeing this situation, those standing natives immediately dropped their weapons and climbed down. Almost in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of natives without exception all knelt down towards the place of the explosion.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhen and Li Yun on the top of the city looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the situation of these natives was?But it doesn't matter if you don't know, Li Zhen, who immediately reacted, understood one thing, that is, there is an extremely rare opportunity in front of him, as long as they attack now, they will definitely defeat the natives.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen immediately ordered the guards at Nanxiaguan to leave the city.Being sent by Lu Qing to guard such an important pass, the guard of Nanxia Pass is naturally not an idiot, and he also knows that this is an eternal opportunity. Although thinking of the order from above is a bit embarrassing, Li Zhen patted her chest loudly, Telling the other party that he will bear all the responsibilities, this dispelled the guard's worries, rushed out of the city gate with a thousand soldiers under him, and killed the natives who had put down their weapons.As a result, 1000 people drove more than 1 natives for more than 20 miles, killed thousands of people, and captured nearly a thousand people. It can be described as a rare victory!

After listening to Li Zhen's explanation of the cause and effect of the incident, Li Yin also felt a little dumbfounded. Everything started because of Li Zhen, but it was Li Zhen who broke the siege of Keelung. Of course, this matter is far from over , Li Yin is not a good-tempered person, since those natives dare to provoke him, they must be prepared to pay ten times the price!

"Eighth brother, do you know where I went wrong?" Li Yin pulled Li Zhen to the side of the pier, and asked very seriously.

"Sixth brother, I... I shouldn't have acted on my own and caused you such a big trouble!" Li Zhen was already very nervous, but now seeing Li Yin's serious look, she naturally felt even more guilty.

"Wrong!" Li Yin retorted coldly, then his tone softened, and he said again, "It's nothing to cause trouble, as your elder brother, it is naturally my responsibility to help you solve troubles, so I don't blame you! ” Capital Datang 251

As soon as Li Yin's words came to this point, Li Zhen was already moved to tears. Although there are many brothers, the so-called royal family has no family affection, and the feelings between princes are generally extremely indifferent, but he is in his sixth brother. But he felt a strong brotherly affection, which made him feel extremely warm.

Li Zhen, who was moved, wanted to say something, but Li Yin continued: "Eighth brother, although you are very smart, you have always been irritable, and you don't want to use your brain when you do things. This time, you don't have to sneak up on those natives at night. After all, with their strength, it's not the strength of your guards to fight head-on, so you can attack them head-on during the day and kill the entire tribe. In this way, There will be no more messengers, and there will be no trouble this time!"

After listening to Li Yin's words, Li Zhen was stunned for a while, even if he was beaten to death, he never thought that the sixth brother who has always had a good reputation would have such a vicious side.However, Li Zhen's ability to accept is very strong, and she quickly reacted, nodding her head again and again, with a sincere expression of being educated, but she looked at Li Yin with a strange look, as if it was the first time she knew this person. Six brothers are average.

Li Yin also noticed Li Zhen's strange gaze, and immediately patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Eighth brother, you have to remember that there is nothing wrong with being kind to your subjects, but for these foreign races, especially If you offend your foreign race, you must first use thunder to let them know who has the biggest fist in this world!"

When Li Yin was very irresponsible instilling the bloody law of the jungle to a minor, he was already conceiving a revenge plan against the natives in his mind.It's just that what he didn't expect was how much impact these words today would have on Li Zhen?The most controversial prince in the history of the Tang Dynasty also really grew up from this moment!
