Mohist Tang

Chapter 1020


“The Mohist Family is back!”

When the Mohist Family team returned to Chang’an City, the whole Chang’an City was heated up and everyone sighed. Those who have it will have it, the heartache will have it, and the injustice will have it.

However, in the Imperial Court, no one paid attention. Everyone was attracted by one thing, and that was the Gaochang incident.

After three years of development, coupled with the influence of the envoys sent by Great Tang, the Silk Road was exceptionally prosperous, and the huge profits made the entire Western Regions crazy.

Of course, Great Tang has benefited the most. Under the Great Tang silk system designed by Mo Dun, silk can not only trade for a large amount of gold and silver from the West, but also become Western Regions is the currency of bulk goods transactions. It can be said that Great Tang used silk to firmly control the Silk Road and obtain the largest piece of cake.

Of course, Great Tang has not forgotten the countries of the Western Regions. It has worked hard to coordinate the relations between the countries of the Western Regions and protect the Silk Road. Instead of buying and selling caravans with one hammer, it will collect taxes in a long stream. The Western Regions have made great profits while also obtaining rare peace.

However, not all countries are deeply grateful to Great Tang. The first to be the Western Regions is Gaochang, a powerful country in Western Regions. Gaochang has developed particularly rapidly in the past three years. Because of its proximity to Great Tang, it has not only benefited from the Silk Road. Great Tangs demand for cotton is increasing, driven by Mohist Family Son. Gaochang is the origin of cotton. The cotton seeds sold to Great Tang every year are a large sum of money, and the national power is increasing.

However, Gaochang, who has benefited a lot, is not satisfied. Compared with Great Tangs profit, Gaochangs income is only one hair from nine oxen, and Gaochang is from the Silk Road. The place that must be passed by, the controller is the throat of the Silk Road, with Tibet and West Turkic backing behind it. The ambitions are growing day by day, and they already have the ambition to enter the Silk Road.

Three years ago, Great Tang did not control the Silk Road due to the threat of Tuyuhun. The Silk Road actually controlled Gaochang, the strongest country in Western Regions. However, Great Tang defeated Tuyuhun and encroached on Western. Regions, although Gao Chang’s benefits are not less than before, how can he be comfortable as the boss.

Three years have passed. The shock of Tuyuhuns extinction has slowly receded, and Gaochangs ambitions have slowly swelled. Politically, he has turned westward to Turkic, blocking the Silk Road, and at the same time wild ambition. Expanding all around, sending troops to invade Yiwu, Yanqi and other countries, seriously threatening the safety of the Great Tang Silk Road.

The purpose of the Imperial Court Great Assembly today is to discuss matters of Gaochang. After all, the benefits of the Silk Road are too great, and Great Tang cannot easily give up anyway.

“Replying to his Majesty, Gaochang’s wolf ambition, attacked Yiwu, Yanqi and other countries for no reason. Now the envoys of the Western Regions have arrived in Great Tang, requesting Your Majesty to preside over justice.” Honglu Temple took the lead. Crusade against Gaochang.

“Heavenly Khan, please call the shots for us!”

Two Western Regions envoys were summoned to the Tai Chi Hall, tearfully punishing Li Shimin against Gaochang’s atrocities.

Li Shimin said with a righteous face: “You can rest assured, I will definitely seek justice for the two countries.”

These small countries are also wall-wrenching countries, where can they be strong? On the other hand, there was no softness in intercepting the Great Tang caravan. Now Gaochang is backed by West Turkic. They have no way to ask for help. Only Great Tang can save them.

“many thanks Heavenly Khan!”

The Emissary of the two countries retreated with gratitude, and the entire Imperial Court was again filled with indignation and denounced Gao Chang’s crime.

“Qu Wentai acts as an unrighteous teacher. It is a heinous crime for Qu Wentai to attack another country without name and destroy the peace of the Silk Road.”

“Warrior must perish, Gaochang is arrogant, God wants it to perish. You must make it crazy first. Gaochang is having only oneself to blame. Your Majesty is also invited to send troops to fight against Gaochang.”

One by one military generals shouted, including the new Duke of Qiao Chai Zhewei Most fiercely, Duke of Qiao Chai Shao passed away just last year. His eldest son Chai Zhewei inherited the Duke of Qiao. This time Gaochang blocked the Silk Road. Chai Family suffered a heavy loss. Gaochang cut off his wealth. It was like killing his parents. Will let Gao Chang go so easily. “

“No, Gaochang is ignorant, but I, Great Tang, is a country of etiquette, so how can I launch troops to attack Gaochang at will? Isn’t it as barbaric as Gaochang? “Wang Gui went out to persuade him.

Chai Zhewei couldn’t help but complexion sank. Wang Gui is a spokesperson of the Wang Family of Taiyuan. This time he came out to obstruct him. It must be revenge for Chai Familys previous help to Mohist Family.

“It’s ridiculous. Gao Chang offended me Great Tang Heavenly Might. If we don’t severely punish me, how would the 36 countries in Western Regions think of me Great Tang? How can the Silk Road continue? “Duke of Qiao Chai Zhewei said boldly. He used to be an envoy to the Western Regions. He naturally knew that among the Western Regions, Gaochang was the strongest country in the Western Regions. Once he convinced Gaochang, he would definitely form a deterrent to the Western Regions.

Entire Court Important Ministers cant help but secretly nodded in their hearts. The Silk Roads benefit is that the Imperial Court cant give up in any way. How can Gao Chang give Great Tang an explanation this time.

Li Shimin nodded, looked towards Ministry of Rites High Official Linghu Defen said: “Lord Linghu, I sent Emissary to Gaochang before and summoned Qu Wentai to the court to explain the matter, Gaochang can reply! “

Linghu Defen hesitated for a moment, clenched the teeth and said: “Replying to his Majesty, Qu Wentai said he was sick and he didn’t want to come to Korea.” “

“Replying to his Majesty, the imperial court envoy can confirm that Qu Wentai is indeed seriously ill, and he has also asked Azure Dragon True Medicine heavily. This is also true. “Wang Gui said.

Chai Zhewei said with a sneer: “Now I am in Great Tang Medical School of Thought, and I am seriously ill and come to Great Tang. Isn’t it just right for Medical School of Thought to heal? Maybe there is a glimmer of survival, and even if he doesn’t want to travel long distances, he can send Crown Prince in the same way, because Qu Wentai must be due to a guilty conscience, so he dare not come to Great Tang, Master Linghu thinks otherwise! “

Linghu Defen’s helpless nodded and said: “Qu Wentai offends Great Tang Heavenly Might. It must be scrupulous. Moreover, Qu Wentai not only refused to come to North Korea, but instead asked for additional tariffs on business travel in the past. Open the Silk Road. “

“To increase tariffs, Gaochang is threatening Great Tang with the Silk Road! Entire Court numerous officials said furiously. If the Silk Road passes through Gaochang and Gaochang draws a layer, it will damage Great Tang’s interests in disguise.

“Gaochang stubborn, then he can only play with fire and burn himself. Please lead Great Tang soldiers to destroy Gaochang to shock Western Regions. “Hou Junji suddenly appeared on the road. The last time he flew to Tuyuhun, Hou Junji was unlucky and did not gain much. After finally encountering Gaochang this time, he naturally didn’t want to let it go easily. He enthusiastically asked for battle.

“The minister, please go to war! Raise me Great Tang Heavenly Might. “A group of military generals shouted. All of a sudden, murderous aura overflowed in the Imperial Court. After a series of battles, Great Tang even wiped out the two powerful enemies of Turkic and Tuyuhun. It can be said that the morale is high, and they suddenly heard Gao Chang. Dare to provoke Great Tang, the generals were immediately filled with righteous indignation and petitioned one after another. In their opinion, this is simply a great contribution.

Dont act recklessly. Gaochang is seven thousand miles away from Great Tang. Two thousand miles of deserted people, there are more natural obstacles such as White Dragon Beach, Tibet and West Turkic support behind him, coupled with the strong horses of Gaochang soldiers, the city is high and the river is deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, this battle seems simple, but it is unprecedented The danger. “Xiao Yu shook his head and objected.

Xiao Yu’s remarks were like pouring cold water on the entire Imperial Court. As Xiao Yu said, it is easy to destroy Gaochang, but the factors to be considered are extremely There are so many things. Its simply touching the whole body. If you dont pay attention, you will lose all your previous efforts.

The reason why Gaochang dared to provoke Great Tang is because he believes that Gaochang is far away from Great Tang, and the road is too dangerous to support. The large army marched, and the small Tang Army, Gao Chang was not afraid at all, even if Great Tang sent troops not far from 7,000 miles,

“Gao Chang was 7,000 miles away from Great Tang, and large siege weapons might be difficult to transport. Gaochang City is even the number one city in the Western Regions. I am afraid that only the lives of Great Tang soldiers can be used to fill it. The outcome is unpredictable and the risk is too high. “Wang Gui shook his head and objected.

Hou Junji said with a sneer: “There is a brick road in Longhai, and no siege weapon can be transported. “

The Ministry of Works High Official Zhang Liang on the side said with some guilty conscience: “Master Hou is not aware of it. In recent years, the Imperial Court has focused on supporting the development of the south of the Yangtze River. The Ministry of Works has made every effort to build the North-South Passage. The brick road from Lanzhou to Yumen Pass has not yet been completed. “

It’s not just that it hasn’t been repaired, it can even be said that it has not started at all. Lanzhou to Yumen Pass is nearly two thousand miles away, and most of them are Desolate Land. The investment is huge, and the gains are minimal. How can there be bricks in the Central Plains? Quick return to the original!

“You waited for nothing! “Hou Junji flustered and exasperated.

Suddenly, the Imperial court was divided into two factions, one is fighting, the other is fighting, and the two sides are arguing.

Hou Junji looks at the Lord Xiao Yu and Wang Gui, who were in harmony, said in their hearts: “The two adults worry that it is only the problem that Gaochang Bing Duochengjian and Two Thousand Mile Desert cannot supply, but they do not know that one person has already easily solved these two problems during the West Expedition of Tuyuhun. problem. “

“Resolve easily, who is this person?” “The Minister of Entire Court couldn’t help being frowned and looked at Hou Junji suspiciously.

” Lord Hou should not be scornful. “Xiao Yu said displeased.

Hou Junji revealed a hint of crafty: “Master Xiao knows something. When it comes to siege, old man thinks he has countless siege, but he is convinced by one person. Marquis of Mo. “

“When Tuyuhun was marching westward, Marquis of Mo used Gunpowder to break Tuyuhun Three Forts without damaging a single soldier. Afterwards, it pursued thousands of miles and went deep into the vast sea of eight hundred miles. Fu Yun returned to the head, Marquis of Mo became famous in the first battle. Jiancheng was scattered ashes and dispersed smoke under the wave of Marquis of Mo. Eight hundred miles of Hanhai people entered and died ten years ago, but Marquis of Mo could retreat. Presumably in the view of Marquis of Mo, Gao Chang’s reliance on this is not sufficient. “

Hou Junji finished speaking, almost everyone focused on Mo Dun at the end of the numerous officials. Yes, they worry about the plight of attacking Gaochang. Mohist Family Son has overcome it. If it is true Can overcome these difficulties, how can that little Gaochang be regarded by Great Tang.

What makes the numerous officials more interesting is that Wang Gui and Xiao Yu are from Five surnames Seven Clans The leader, a representative of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family, has a deep feast with Mohist Family Son. This time Chang’an City is rumored that Mohist Family once again encounters the defender, and has an inextricable relationship with the two, Hou Junjis move is a sinister intention.

Xiao Yu’s face was immediately embarrassed. The brick road from Lanzhou to Yumen Pass was suspended because of the agreement he reached with Five surnames Seven Clans. Five surnames Seven Clans secretly Assist the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family in the Jiangnan development. Three years later, after the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family has used up the Mohist Family, it will give the Mohist Family a fatal blow and make the Mohist Family fall into a desperate situation, or completely control the Mohist Family and leave a piece for the Aristocratic Family. In the future, you can force Li Shimin to negotiate.

After all, Jiangnan Aristocratic Family is also an Aristocratic Family. Although it does not have the inheritance of Five surnames Seven Clans for thousands of years, it has at least hundreds of years of wealth. How can you be willing? Give up the wealth that has been passed down from generation to generation in his own hands, otherwise Xiao Yu would be so short-sighted, it is impossible to see that Five surnames Seven Clans abandoning the Mohist Family is picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, but for the benefit of the Aristocratic Family, even if it is to give up the entire Jiangnan He will not hesitate in the future.

Hou Junji smiled and looked at the numerous off The last Mo Dun of icials said loudly: “Chancellor Mo, you have a way to break Gaochang City. “

“Gunpowder! “

Hou Junji not at all called Mo Dun Marquis of Mo, but called Mo Dun Libation Chancellor, which immediately reminded everyone of the position of Mo Dun Firearms Squad Libation Chancellor. The Firearms Squad three years ago It is possible to break the Three Forts of Tuyuhun. Now three years later, the Firearms Squad under the control of Mohist Family Son is stronger than three years ago.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous officials, Mo Dun stood silently and seriously said: “One It can be broken! “

“His! “Everyone could not help being sucked in a breath of cold air, if others might be laughed out of their teeth, but this is from the mouth of Mohist Family Son but it is involuntarily convincing.

Xiao Yu coldly snorted and said : “Gaochang City is broken, but the road to Desert two thousand miles west of Yu Sect is not easy. “

Mo Dun cannot deny: “Under the Compass made by the Mohist Family, coupled with the exploration of Silk Road merchants over the past few years, these two thousand miles are not at all for Great Tang. What a secret.

Compass is the secret of Mo Duns retreat across the vast sea. Mo Dun gave Chai Lingwu a Compass. This is the biggest support of the Chai Family in the Western Regions bold westward journey. .

“Chancellor Mo is too conceited. Gaochang’s incident affects the whole body. If Tibet and West Turkic intervene,…………. “Wang Gui was furious and refuted Mo Dun.

“The soldiers are also dangerous. If you, Chancellor Mo, let me bury tens of thousands of soldiers in Great Tang, you can afford it. responsibility! “Xiao Yu snorted.

If the battle of Gaochang is fought, the imperial court’s focus will definitely shift to Gaochang. At that time, not only will the Jiangnan development be delayed, it will cause Mohist. The Village came back to life because of the military orders.

Two big men from the North and the South came forward to reprimand Mo Dun. All of a sudden, officials from the North and the South reprimanded Mo Dun for slandering and deliberately provoking the war.

Mo Dun corner of the mouth raise, in the face of numerous officials’ accusations, instead of retreating and advancing: “Mo has a skill that can make Great Tang invincible and invincible. “

In an instant, Entire Court civil and military stopped abruptly, looking at Mo Dun incredible, even if the military god Li Jing is here, I dare not say that Great Tang will be invincible, and Mohist Family Son even dared to say such rants.

“Is this true? “Hou Junji said joyfully.

numerous officials couldn’t help but stare at Mo Dun. Although they didn’t believe Mo Dun’s words, they couldn’t ignore the first half of Mo Dun’s words. Mo Dun had a skill.

Above the Imperial Court, whenever Mohist Family Son says this, the Mohist Technology he throws out is shocking. Even Li Shimin looks forward to Mo Dun and asks Which dynasty does not want to be invincible by itself.

“Mozi secretly! “Numerous officials moved in their hearts and couldn’t help but think of Mohist Family Son, the most hidden hole card, which is also the source of Mohist Family Mohist Technology.

Under everyone’s gaze, Mo Dun smiled evilly, as if he understood. Everyone thought: “This technique did not come from Mozi’s secret work, but a well-known allusion by Saint Mozi. I wonder if you have ever heard of an allusion. “

“The guardian is not inside! “
