Chapter 98 makes the ladies of the world crazy

The history of the Tang Dynasty, where black powder first appeared, was quickly forgotten. After all, Xuanwumen is a taboo in Datang. Unless it was the birthday boy drinking arsenic, no one dared to mention it.

Of course, the grenade shells of the first real combat also quickly disappeared from people's memory.

However, the explosion at Songbang Fort made the Tibetan people present feel terrified. The iron-hearted wooden city gate wrapped in iron sheet turned into powder under the action of the huge kinetic energy of gunpowder. The kinetic energy that had nowhere to vent finally swept towards the city gate tower and the Tibetan soldiers on the city wall, and the city gate tower and these Tibetan soldiers did not stop the spread of the shock wave.

Finally, the dust cleared.

The original tall and majestic city gate tower disappeared, only the rubble and the ruins of the half-truncated wall were everywhere, not only that, but the urn city behind the city wall was full of the dead bodies of the Tubo people, and they were lying on the ground very quietly.

As if an appointment had been made, the thousands of Tibetan soldiers inside and outside Songbang Fort City were all still, their eyes and ears were bleeding together, and they wanted to stand up, but they still fell to the ground after all.

The group of several thousand people collapsed as if the sand tower on the beach had been swept down by the waves.

Even the Tubo people who were not affected by the black powder did not think that this was the power of black powder, and they naturally thought that the rising orange-red fireball, and the roar that was far more complete than the sound of the giant thunder, were the power of gods and demons.

Originally, holding Andonaji, who was sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, his head was blank.

He stared blankly at the huge gap in Songbang Fort City and muttered to himself, "God...... It's not human power! ”

Not only Andonaji, but even the Tibetans in Songbang Fort summed up black powder as the power of the gods.

Looking at those Tubo people who seemed to be enshrined, Chen Ying laughed and said, "Soldiers, rush in for me!" ”

The core troops of Songtsen Gampo of the Songpang Fort Army left behind, like mice under the paws of cats, knelt on the ground, shivering.

Chen Ying's distance was getting closer and closer, and finally Chen Ying led the hook and sickle cavalry to rush into the gap and rush into Songbang Fort.

However, no one in the Tubo people stopped them, and no one dared to shoot arrows at Chen Ying.

In the eyes of countless Tibetan people, the tall and thin Tang young man in front of him is not a human being at all, he is a god.

Otherwise, there would be no such terrifying power in the human world.

Hardly a single arrow was wasted, not a single shot was moved. This capital of the Tubo Dynasty was successfully attacked by Chen Ying.

Seeing that Chen Ying led the cavalry of the Tang Army to rush into Songbang Fort City, the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition army also roared: "Enter the city...... Town! ”

A strange and spectacular scene appeared, the Tang army and the soldiers of the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition army poured into the city of Songbang Fort like a tide, and then the Tubo army that reacted immediately leaked out of the other gates like a tide, like a flood from a broken embankment rushing into a reservoir lake, and the lake could not hold it and collapsed completely, so that the water flowed in all directions.

The hearts of the Tibetan soldiers are already in chaos, and even if Songtsen Gampo is present at this time, he may not be able to effectively control it. What's more, Songtsen Gampo didn't know where he had fled.

When the thousands of cavalry under the command of Chen Ying of the Tang army entered the city, most of the Tubo soldiers fled outside the city, and those who stayed in the city had no will to fight at all.

There was basically no fierce battle in this siege battle, Chen Ying rode his horse and walked on the city wall, looking at the prostrate Tubo soldiers and civilians who were asking for surrender, and suddenly let out a sneer. It was noon, and it was the best time of the day, but Chen Ying saw the dusk of a barbarian and powerful clan under the white sunshine.

At this time, more and more soldiers of the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition army poured into Songbang Fort City, and when they entered the city, they would involuntarily stop in front of the gap that was blown up by more than 600 catties of black powder.

All the tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition army watched this scene and became silent.

Although they victoriously captured the city of Songbang Fort, all the tribal leaders who fought against the Songtsen Gampo coalition army had a heavy heart.

Adonaji said to a leader beside him: "It's so dangerous, fortunately, we didn't stand on the opposite side of General Chen!" ”

"Yes...... "The tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition army all felt that they had turned around from the Ghost Gate, and many of them had already wet their backs.

They rejoice in their right choice, and they rejoice that it is God's will.

They formed an anti-Songtsen Gampo alliance, and they did not have the intention of taking advantage of Chen Ying. They all know very well that the Tubo Snow Field is a blessed land given by God to the Tubo people, and only the Tubo people can survive on this land. When the Tang people came to Tibet, no matter how strong a man was, he would be weaker than a sheep in half a month at most.

However, now they definitely can't afford to be dissatisfied with Chen Ying in their hearts.

Before the impact, Chen Ying's mind appeared in Andonagi's head, and there seemed to be a word in his mind, as if this was some kind of spell.

Andonagi muttered silently: "In this life and this life, I will definitely not be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Thinking of this, Andonaji's heart was crossed, and he shouted at the subordinates beside him: "Kill all the Tibetans!" ”

Of course, he hunted down the Tibetans outside the city.

As for the inside of the city, seeing that there was no resistance, these soldiers of the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition army all stayed outside the city, not because they didn't want to enter the city, but they didn't dare.

After all, it's harvest season.

Songbang Fort City already belonged to Chen Ying, and they all longed for Chen Ying to leave some soup for them when they were eating meat.

The royal palace of Songtsen Gampo is very luxurious and splendid.

Many of the wooden pillars in it are made of wood similar to small-leaved red sandalwood, but if you look closely, you can tell that it is not small-leaved red sandalwood, and if you move a table back to the next generation, you can sell it for a sky-high price.

Under the leadership of the soldiers of the Tang Army, Chen Ying and Ma Zhou took the lead in walking in.

As soon as he walked inside, Chen Ying was stunned.

He saw a white jade bowl on the table, although it was not mutton fat jade, but it was also Kunlun white jade.

In fact, Kunlun jade and Hetian jade, on the same vein, are collectively referred to as Hetian jade in later generations.

Such a large piece of white jade made into a bowl? It's too extravagant!

Ma Zhou also saw this jade bowl, sighed, and said in surprise: "This is a jade bowl?" ”

He moved quite quickly, ran to the table, picked up the jade bowl and looked at it.

Chen Ying stepped forward to take a look, except for a jade bowl on the table, there were six white jade bowls of the same size, and the color, color, and even the texture of the carving were all exactly the same. It would not be surprising that Chen Ying would be able to create such an identical jade bowl by mechanical processing in later generations, but in the case of complete handwork, this is even more rare.

Just wanted to play with the jade bowl for a while, Chen Ying inadvertently looked up, and saw two white jade swords hanging in the center of the lobby, about three feet three inches long, for a real sword, this scale is too short, but you must know that this is Hetian white jade, a whole piece of Hetian white jade polished into a sword!

The scabbard with gold as the handle and inlaid with gems really made Chen Ying feel speechless.

With the means of building in this era, whether it is a jade bowl or a jade sword, there is no cutting technology of later generations, and it can only be polished manually bit by bit, especially the jade bowl, the volume of the bowl center, all of which are grinding off the waste, looking at the volume of these six bowls, almost with the weight of five or six catties, almost six or seven kilograms of Hetian white jade is so wasted.

"What a fucking loser!" Chen Ying's eyes straightened, and he hurriedly said, "Help me take down those two jade swords." ”

"Okay." Guo Luo climbed onto the table, took down the two white jade swords, and handed them over.

When Ma Zhou counted the seizures, he crossed out all the six Hetian white jade bowls and two white jade swords.

Chen Ying immediately ordered: "Let people search the palace and find that all this nephrite jade has been brought to me." ”

"Yes, I'm going to have someone search for it." Guo Luo didn't ask anything, turned around and called the guards to search the entire palace.

Chen Ying stood still, his heart was excited, it was best to search for more gold and silver treasures, the more the better, even if it was a ton or two tons, no matter how much Chen Ying disliked!

About a quarter of an hour later, one after another, some good things were presented by the guards.

Guo Luo walked out of it holding a small box, and he stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord, there are good things!" ”

Chen Ying said excitedly: "What did you find?" ”

Guo Luo hurriedly handed over the small box in his hand and said with a smile: "This is a jewelry box found in a room by Beizhi, in addition to the nephrite you said, there are light beads and crow blue. ”

The so-called pearl of light is ruby, and crow blue is sapphire.

Chen Ying paid little attention to gemstones, and in later generations, he could not afford them. However, he knew that the natural resources of rubies and sapphires were very abundant in Myanmar, and that there was one point that the rubies and sapphires in Myanmar were a little more expensive than elsewhere.

Take sapphire as an example, when it comes to sapphire, people's first reaction is Sri Lanka, but in fact, sapphires of the same color, fineness, shape, and carat, Sri Lanka are much cheaper than those in Myanmar. Needless to say, rubies.

Chen Ying became interested, stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Without explaining anything, open the jewelry box. Seven or eight gold and silver objects appeared inside, and without exception, they were all inlaid with various gemstones.

The first thing that caught the eye was a gold ring, and as for the gold that weighed about one or two, it was directly ignored by Chen Ying. He picked up the ring and said with some uncertainty: "It's actually a glass imperial green ring face?" ”

Ma Zhou didn't understand this, and said suspiciously: "Isn't this crystal?" ”

"Hehe, this is more troublesome to explain, if you are interested, I will teach you slowly when I go back." Chen Ying said casually.

The quality of the ring surface is very delicate, the crystalline particles are dense, the naked eye can see the fluorescence, the texture is delicate and pure, the color is pure, bright, rich and uniform, which is very in line with the characteristics of the glass imperial green.

Generally speaking, the mineral crystals of glass jadeite are very delicate, and the particle size is uniform and consistent, so it will be formed, and the ring surface has high transparency, glass luster, giving people an overall feeling as clear and transparent as glass, and the glass species can be determined.

The rest just needs to tell if it's imperial green.

The color of the ring surface is rich and rare, noble and elegant, as if the essence of the color, its color is strong and green is pleasant, there is no slightest color in the rich green, the green is positive, the green is spicy, the green is strong but still delicate, and the knot is the imperial green.

Chen Ying was a human being for two lifetimes, and it was the first time he really saw the glass imperial green jade, so he couldn't help but get excited, and couldn't help but put this gold ring on his finger, and said with a smile: "Hey, don't say it, it's just right!" ”

At this moment, Guo Luo took out a golden hairpin and said, "This is a good thing, you can take it to the little lady to play with!" ”

Guo Luo's so-called little lady is actually Chen Ying's daughter Li Ruoxi.

"Huh, pigeon's blood?" Chen Ying's eyes lit up, his eyes were attracted by the glass imperial green ring just now, and he didn't notice that there was a pigeon's blood ruby, he picked up his hairpin and looked at the position of the light.

This ruby is in the shape of a drop and is set on the hairpin, and the preliminary judgment shows that its color is as rich as pigeon's blood, and it is almost impossible to judge that it is indeed a pigeon's blood ruby.

Chen Ying was overjoyed at this time, just a gem and jade looted from the palace, Chen Ying's military expenses for sending troops to Tibet were earned.

The various gems in the palace of the Tibetan king are not only numerous, but also extremely varied, from nephrite to Hetian white jade, jasper, and even black jade, as well as various gemstones.

What emeralds, what opals, you name it.

Chen Ying shouted in his heart: "Rich, really rich!" ”

Generally speaking, rubies more or less need to be heat-treated and cut to achieve the ideal state, but the value of burning will be much cheaper than that of non-burning, for example, many people who play collection know that rubies without heat treatment can be collected by more than one carat, and rubies that have undergone heat treatment generally have a collection value of more than three carats.

Obviously, the ruby on the hairpin in front of you is unburned, and it is possible that it is naturally occurring in the shape of a droplet.

Pigeon's blood red, natural drop-shaped, this ruby is priceless, Chen Ying has reason to believe that once these jewelry and gemstones are shipped to Chang'an, it is enough to make the ladies of Chang'an and even the whole world crazy.

Ma Zhou suddenly said: "Lord, what do you think of this crow blue necklace?" “

"Grip, grass" Chen Ying said dumbfoundedly: "It's actually such a big string of sapphires?" “

The sapphire on this necklace is the purest blue, not other green, yellow, gray and the like, and the blue is brilliant, and the blue makes people feel thrilled.

Chen Ying took a deep breath and said in surprise: "My God, is this the legendary royal blue?" “

Just put away the jewelry, at this time, Mo about sixteen or seventeen bulky large boxes were carried into the main hall by the Tang soldiers with great difficulty.

Chen Ying said suspiciously: "This is ......"
