Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

What are you thinking about You can never tell your highness that you are more confident in saving your life. Xue Lang fixed his mind and said, "I'm just surprised by the results of the war. However, my subordinates did not join the army in the war. How can we make the contribution? "

Princess Pingyang looked at him and said, "although Youyang didn't take part in the war, the magic arm bow and bed crossbow offered by Youyang have made great achievements! Jieli was injured by the divine arm bow, and many Turks were killed by the bed crossbow and the divine arm bow! It is a great improvement in the morale of our army, but a great blow to the Turks. "

Xue Lang understood it as soon as he heard it. No wonder the results of the war are different from the historical records. The range of the magic arm bow and the bed crossbow is much longer and more powerful than the bows and arrows currently used. The Turks did not know that the Tang army had increased such sharp weapons. It was reasonable for the Turks to increase their losses by surprise.

Therefore, Xue Lang said modestly: "it was the result of surprise. My subordinates offer the magic arm bow and the bed crossbow. It is the king of Qin who makes the sharp weapons work. It is the king of Qin who dare not take credit. However, it's a pity that Jieli can send people for peace talks. It's a pity that he didn't hurt seriously. "

When Princess Pingyang heard the speech, she nodded and said, "I'm really sorry. However, the defeat in this war will certainly damage Jieli's prestige. If there is a famine, I'm afraid Jieli will not be able to suppress his subordinates. The Turks have never kept their faith and peace talks are too numerous. Our defense will not be reduced. "

The generals responded, "here."

Xue Lang said: "with the threat of magic arm bow and bed crossbow, ordinary small tribes dare not come, and there are certainly not many large Turkic tribes. Therefore, it may be the combination of several small tribes or the large tribes that will come to knock on the pass at that time. Once we knock down the key, we are afraid that the offensive will not be small, and the pressure will increase! "

Princess Pingyang said in a deep voice: "the stool increases, the divine arm bow and the bed crossbow are good at defending and not good at attacking. They are not afraid that they will attack, but they will not come. Now that the Turks have been defeated by the king of Qin, they have lost their prestige and offensive, and it is difficult to gather the offensive again for a time. Only Liu Hei is not unfair! If he is allowed to recover his lost land, his prestige will be greatly damaged. Even if the lost land is recovered in the future, it is really difficult to recover it in terms of popular support and popularity, so Liu thief should not be allowed to be left alone. Therefore, we and other border cities should try our best to keep the Turks out of the pass. We should not allow Turks to enter the pass as a single soldier, thus disrupting the affairs of the imperial court. The generals listen to the order -- "

" here. "

"We should try our best to improve our defense posture and martial law should be enforced in a wartime manner. We should not relax. If there is any violation, we will deal with it according to military law."

"Here it is

Xue Lang suddenly calculated the time. Now it was October. The king of Qin defeated Jieli Khan, and the war with Jieli was calmed down. The imperial army moved back, and the main force came back. Naturally, the court had to solve Liu heikai.

Xue Lang asked in a hurry: "Your Highness, who will be the commander of the imperial court

Princess Pingyang said: "the prince is the commander-in-chief and leads the army to fight in person."

Eh According to historical records, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was not the first to lead his troops to the battle. As a result, because he was afraid of Liu heikai, he did not dare to attack. He led the army and watched Liu heikai recover his lost territory. The king of Qin became more and more famous, and his power was even more powerful than that of the crown prince. The prince jianchengcai led the army to Liu heikai.

Now history has changed!

Yuanji has no chance to lead the army. The prince will lead the army directly! It seems that the king of Qin's victory in standing Jieli was too dazzling, which stimulated the prince and aggravated the prince's sense of crisis. Therefore, did the prince ask for instructions in advance?

Xue Lang thought it out, but he sighed to himself. In fact, in his outsider's opinion, the most suitable candidate to pacify Liu heikai is the king of Qin. First, the king of Qin had defeated Liu heikai, and had psychological advantages. He was also familiar with Liu heikai's fighting methods. He also carried the results of his victory, which had an inspiring effect on the morale of the people; second, the king of Qin was really good at leading the army. Compared with the king of Qin, the prince's record is not very good.

When Li Yuan started his army, the prince lived in Hedong. After hearing about his father's rise, he fled back to Taiyuan. He remembered to take Li Yuanji and his concubine's room, but he didn't remember taking his brother Li Zhiyun.

However, the sage also felt that the king of Qin was highly successful, and the crown prince's reputation was weaker than that of the king of Qin. If the king of Qin was allowed to lead the army to march again, the poor prince would be even weaker. So you want to balance it?

Xue Lang was not good at guessing the sage's mind. Now the one who went out to fight against Liu heikai has become the prince. In order to ensure that the prince, who seldom leads the army, defeats Liu heikai to the greatest extent, the sage will select the generals who will follow the prince.

Xue Lang is on a errand here. Princess Pingyang has already assigned the tasks of the generals. Xue Lang is on one task, preparing military provisions to the maximum extent and distributing the supplies.

Although weizeguan was the first to be equipped with a magic arm bow and a bed crossbow, its income was limited. The divine arm bow first guaranteed the bear army, and then the garrison. However, the bed crossbow went directly to the city wall to defend the city.

When the task was finished, Princess Pingyang said, "Youyang, go with me."

"Here it is

Princess Pingyang called on Xue Lang and went straight to the workshop. When she got off the carriage in the workshop, Princess Pingyang walked in front of her and said to Xue Lang, who was following her, "my people found two crystal clear crystals. I asked the craftsman to polish them to make telescopes. I don't know what the effect is. I'll have a look today."Did you do it? I don't know how the lens is polished?

Xue Lang immediately came interested and followed Princess Pingyang in. Obviously, the workers of the workshop had already received the order of Princess Pingyang to come. Qi Qi was waiting for the door to meet him --

"I'm very respectful to your highness, your highness Wan'an."

"Excuse me, get up. Where are the good telescopes? Let me have a look

"Here it is."

The craftsman immediately handed over the finished binoculars, a total of two pairs. Princess Pingyang took one and handed it to Xue Lang. Xue Lang took it in his hand and rubbed it carefully -

the shell of the telescope of Tang Dynasty was made of wood. The light wood was specially selected, which was polished very smooth. It was also light and easy to hold in the hand.

The most important lens is indeed carved from the whole piece of white crystal, because there are a few flocs of natural crystal at the edge of the lens, but because it is at the edge of the lens, it has little impact on the object to be seen.

Xue Lang stood up and looked at it. Without the function of adjusting the focal length of modern telescopes, the distant scenery shown in the lens is also clear, with little distortion. I think it's the best technology can do now!

The most surprising thing is that Xue Lang didn't give them the concept of pupil distance, mainly because he didn't know how to explain it. But these craftsmen actually noticed this problem without any teachers. The distance between the two lenses is actually in line with the principle of ergonomics. When using the telescope, there is not too much discomfort.

I think it's because the masters have figured out the telescope!

Xue Lang rubbed the telescope in his hand happily. Princess Pingyang asked, "how about Youyang? May be used? "

Xue Lang said: "Your Highness, it's better than I thought. It's very good. By the way, master, how is the lens polished? Is it so smooth? "

The master replied respectfully: "back to Xue's consultation, the lens is polished with jade, so it can be so smooth."

Xue Lang did not hesitate to give a thumbs up! How wonderful the craftsmen of my Florist!

The princess of Pingyang said with a smile, "the masters are meritorious. This palace should reward them. Each master was rewarded with 100 Guan, 20 pieces of silk, and the apprentice was rewarded with 10 Guan and 5 pieces of silk. "

The masters were surprised and pleased, and quickly gave thanks: "thank your Highness for the reward."
