Chapter 194 Dare to touch my cheese to find death

Under the city of Xiangzhou, the Tang soldiers of the brigade stepped on the shore from the ferry, lined up in a neat formation, and marched in the direction of Xiangzhou City. Groups of Tang Army soldiers were full of fighting spirit.

Whether in the original history or now, Li Jiancheng has never been a general who cannot lead troops, but an extremely difficult opponent. Li Jiancheng doesn't seem to have any dazzling achievements, but Li Jiancheng is like a kraft candy, he can't get rid of it if he sticks to it, and he will never stop until he tears his opponent into a blur.

In the official history after the "Xuanwumen Incident", both the old and new Tang books, there is almost no mention of Li Jiancheng's achievements, in the "Zizhi Tongjian" simply said two sentences "built a plan, Naike Chang'an", "Wei Zheng offered words, is Ping Hebei", this is almost all Li Jiancheng's achievements that can be found in the official history: conquering Chang'an and Pingding Hebei. However, I looked at the "Tang Dynasty Entrepreneurship and Living Note" written before the "Xuanwumen Incident" (a historical book that records a total of 357 days of historical events from the end of the Sui Dynasty when Li Yuan raised an army against the Sui until he conquered Chang'an, abolished the Sui Emperor, and was officially called the Tang Emperor, which is divided into 3 volumes. Written by Tang Wen Daya. Wen Daya joined the army for the office of General Li Yuan's mansion, and he wrote the book with the army. (This book is not a comment.)

History is history, history of incomparably controversy. At least in the "History of the Tang Dynasty War", it is recorded that from the first year of Wude to the fall of the Eastern Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, during the thirteen years, almost every year the Eastern Turks would be Koubian, but after Li Jiancheng's death, the Eastern Turks successfully attacked the city of Chang'an and forced Li Shimin to sign an alliance under the city.

Li Jiancheng led the four rates of the East Palace, the left and right military guards, and the left and right Xiaowei, a total of four four guards, forty mansions, and 200 regiments, a total of more than 60,000 people, a total of more than 50,000 people, and marched down the Yellow River and stationed in Xiangzhou.

After the soldiers of the Tang Army arrived at the city, they began to set up camp in an orderly manner. Wei Zheng looked up at Li Jiancheng, who was dressed in armor under Da Xuan, and walked quickly towards Li Jiancheng.

Wei Zheng walked to Li Jiancheng's side, leaned forward slightly, and said to Li Jiancheng in front of him: "Your Highness, there is something strange about the rebellion in Hebei. ”

Li Jiancheng frowned, tilted his head slightly and looked at Wei Zheng and said, "What's strange." ”

Wei Zheng said: "Has Your Highness thought carefully, what is Liu Shishan's strongest? And what is the weakest? ”

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Liu Shishan's biggest reliance is not the Turks, but the support of the Hebei clan. For example, if there are ten roads today, Datang has taken seven of them, and the remaining two are Hebei, Shandong, and Jianghuai. Among the three, Shandong and Jianghuai are not worried, and the real threat to Datang is Hebei and Jianghuai. The problem of Hebei is actually the same as the problem of Jianghuai, that is, where does the imperial court place the local family and the powerful? Is it the enemy? Or friends? ”

Wei Zheng took out a letter. handed it to Li Jiancheng and said: "This is a secret letter intercepted by the scouts, written by Liu Shishan to Du Fuwei, and now, the Hebei family regards Du Fuwei as a savior, just like the Luoyang family regarded Dou Jiande as a savior." The current situation is different from last year's Battle of Luoyang, Du Fuwei has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but Liu Shishan just wrote such a letter! ”

Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and said, "Rush to the doctor? ”

"It's not the weirdest, it's the weirdest!" Wei Zheng continued to say in a voice without ups and downs: "Ling Jing said that in the hands of the Hebei clan, there is a secret decree intercepted, and the secret decree wants the king of Qin to wipe out all the Hebei clans. ”

Li Jiancheng turned his face abruptly and stared at Wei Zheng deadly.

Wei Zheng nodded lightly and said, "Ling Jing has no reason to lie to me. ”

Li Jiancheng was a little anxious and said, "How could Your Majesty ever issue such a secret decree?" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Never? ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "So, the rebellion in Hebei has another hidden story. ”

At this time, Li Jiancheng suddenly realized. It is said that Liu Shishan is just a vulgar martial artist, without the appearance of a master, and there is no possibility of seizing the world, but he, like Liu Heimin in history, restored the land of Hebei and Shandong in just three months during the Dou Jiande period. To say that the Hebei clan and the Shandong clan did not take refuge in Liu Shishan, this is absolutely unreasonable.

It can be said unceremoniously that the Hebei family and the gate valve have simply made a stupid move. This is a question that Li Jiancheng has been unable to figure out. Now hearing this secret decree, Li Jiancheng instantly understood.

No wonder the Hebei clan and the gate valve are all standing in opposition to Li Tang, because Li Yuan issued a "secret decree", the so-called rabbit died and the fox was sad, the Hebei clan and the gate valve were forced to a dead end, and it was strange that they did not rebel.

Li Jiancheng thought about it with a cold face, took off the jade pendant on his waist, and handed it to Wei Zhengdao: "With this jade pendant, you can mobilize the personnel inside and outside the East Palace at any time, and investigate this matter as soon as possible...... If anyone can give the secret will, Xuancheng can decide the conditions of the reward for himself. ”

Wei Zheng took the jade pendant, flipped it in his hand, smiled at Li Jiancheng, and strode away.

Wei Ting, who was in the distance, saw the scene of Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng talking, and was thoughtful.

……

In the lobby of the Taiyuan Prefecture Governor's Mansion, Li Shimin sat on the Hu bed with drunken eyes, surrounded by empty wine jars. Li Shimin's mood was very uncomfortable, he worked hard and arranged in every way, but he never thought that Li Jiancheng would be cheaper.

Li Shimin was unwilling and unconvinced, but the overall situation had been decided, and he was helpless.

Li Shimin wanted to get drunk, but the more he drank, the more sober he became.

At this moment, Cheng Zhijie's voice came from outside the door: "Old Lei, get out of the way, I want to see His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”

Lei Yongji smiled bitterly: "General Cheng, don't embarrass me!" ”

Cheng Zhijie shouted with a cold face: "Old Lei, get out of the way!" ”

Lei Yongji naturally did not give an inch. Now Li Shimin has already ordered that if he dares to let Cheng Zhijie in, Li Shimin will definitely not be able to spare him.

Cheng Zhijie stepped forward and picked up Lei Yongji and said, "Get out of the way, otherwise you will be the one who suffers!" ”

Lei Yongji is smart, seeing that Cheng Zhijie was really angry, he hurriedly dodged away.

Cheng Zhijie rushed into the lobby, looked at the drunken and hazy Li Shimin and said, "It's a man, isn't it?" Don't drink it anymore! ”

Cheng Zhijie tried to take the wine jar from Li Shimin's hands.

Li Shimin scolded vaguely: "Get out! ”

Cheng Zhijie was viciously kicked out of the lobby by Li Shimin.

looked at Cheng Zhijie who rolled out

A group of generals gathered outside the lobby, at a loss.

The eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "You all go away." ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, walked into the tent with a shield.

Outside the lobby, everyone heard the sound of a fierce fight coming from inside.

Cracking sound...... After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji walked out of the tent with the deformed shield.

Li Shimin staggered out after him.

The eldest grandson Wuji pointed to the soldiers around him. The eldest grandson Wuji yelled hoarsely at Li Shimin: "Li Shimin, you have to remember, always remember that your life does not belong to you, but to everyone who follows you. Every brethren is willing to die a vigorous battle for you. If you can't lift your spirits, the brothers here will all die, Hou Junji, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, and me, the eldest grandson Wuji—did you hear clearly? ”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

The eldest grandson Wuji pointed at Li Shimin and said, "What do you gain by gaining or losing for a while?" Presumably, His Highness also knows about Du Fuwei, right? ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Naturally, I know." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Du Fuwei was born poor, and his background is lower than everyone here. Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Yi have been friends since childhood, the local officials are tyrannical, and the people are struggling to make a living, Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Yi together, expose the rebellion, he was only sixteen years old that year......"

Hou Junji nodded again and again, his face full of appreciation.

Li Shimin was thoughtful.

The eldest grandson Wuji continued: "After Du Fuwei joined the rebel army, he fought extremely bravely, and every time he fought, he rushed to the front, from a pawn all the way to the position of the leader of the rebel army. Then, the rebel army led by him, because of their bravery and good fighting, gradually annexed the surrounding rebel army. Just when Du Fuwei's soldiers and horses were getting stronger and stronger, a man named Li Zitong led another rebel army to join him, but this Li Zitong suddenly launched a mutiny to annex Du Fuwei's team, and the officials and troops of the former Sui court also surrounded and suppressed Du Fuwei at this time. Du Fuwei was seriously wounded, and was finally carried on the back of his general, Ximen Junyi's wife, and escaped from the siege. At that time, Du Fuwei almost became a bare-bones general. ”

Li Shimin interjected and asked, "How old was he at that time?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while and said, "Nineteen years old. After that, Du Fuwei relied on absorbing the displaced people, expanded his power, and occupied Liuhe. But at this time, Yang Guang ran from Chang'an to Jiangdu, with more than 100,000 elite officers and soldiers. Du Fuwei's Liuhe was right under Yang Guang's nose. ”

If you don't have an intuitive understanding of Jiangdu from Liuhe, then Jiangdu is roughly equivalent to Jiangdu District of Yangzhou, and Liuhe County is now Liuhe District of Nanjing. The distance between the two is about 100 kilometers.

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Yang Guang didn't kill him, but let him sit big step by step?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "This is the magic of Du Fuwei, Du Fuwei treats his soldiers like siblings, and treats the soldiers very well." With the will of the people and morale, Du Fuwei sat under Yang Guang's nose, fought in the east and west, destroyed Shen Faxing and Li Zitong, and finally unified Jianghuai. ”

Li Shimin said: "This Du Fuwei is really a young hero. Auxiliary, you arrange, I will personally go to meet this Du Fuwei for a while. ”

……

Chen Ying's Anxi Imperial Protectorate ushered in an uninvited guest, a Byzantine priest named Robben Tullius Cicero, to Chen Ying's surprise, this priest named Roben used a lame Tang dialect to put a bag of strange things in front of Chen Ying, and introduced to Chen Ying like Xianglin's sister-in-law: "Your Excellency the Duke, I know that you are rich in the world, and ordinary gold and silver treasures are not eye-catching, so I sent some things, you must be interested!" ”

Li Xiuning secretly looked at Father Robben, who has ancient Roman and Greek blood, and is a handsome middle-aged man. But in Li Xiuning's eyes, this Father Robben is really ugly and scary.

At this time, Chen Ying was like a demon, his eyes were green, his saliva was drooling, his eyes were straight, he was like a pervert who had been holding back for ten years and suddenly met a stunning beauty, looking at the pile of strange things in front of him with his eyes.

The bunch of things that made his eyes drool was nothing more than a pile of wood and steel monsters, a bunch of unaesthetic things that he knew weren't fun at first glance.

The more Li Xiuning looked at this small model made of rotten wood and steel, he really didn't know how he fell in love with these ghosts!

Father Robben pointed to a palm-sized model and said, "Your Excellency, this is a boring machine, specially used to polish the inner chamber...... Dear Chen, don't doubt its power, as long as the water is sufficient, it only takes two hours to polish the inner chamber of any crystal cup to you so smooth that a fly will fall a lot! ”

The moment Chen Ying saw the boring machine model, he subconsciously thought of something.

God of War - Artillery!

In the early days of the invention of primitive artillery, copper was usually used as the barrel, and that was because the cast iron and cast steel technology was not up to par, Chen Ying did not engage in scientific and technological leaps, and Chen Ying subconsciously defined the label of a loser for Father Robben. The boring machine is actually used to polish crystal cups.

Chen Ying reached out and touched the sharp, intricately made knife model, and nodded again and again: "It's really a good thing!" ”

Father Robben pointed to the other: "This is a drilling machine, specially used to drill holes, Your Excellency Duke, you are now building a gallop road, and in order to connect the various tracks, you are now using the method of melting. This is not only inefficient, but also unsafe! ”

In the era when electric welding was not invented, there was no alternative to the connection of steel but casting. However, looking at this drilling machine, Chen Ying's head flashed: "Yes, you can use the drilling machine to drill holes, and then use bolts!" ”

Fr. Robben continued: "This is a planer, do you see this extremely sharp planer? That's right, it's made to cut metal! With it, Lord Duke, your steel surface will be smoother than ice! ”

Chen Ying nodded with a satisfied expression.

Father Robben continued: "This is a threading machine, as long as you start it, put the parts in it, squeak ———— squeak and in the blink of an eye, a circle of threads will appear on the extremely hard steel, whether it is an internal or external thread, it can be easily done!" ”

Although these machines are handmade, they are rudimentary, and their reliability is not much higher, but they ...... This is also a machine tool, with it, you can use machinery to produce machinery, this significance can not be overestimated! Chen applied force to pat the boring machine and said, "It's all good!" But why aren't there grinding and milling machines? ”

Father Robben was visibly stunned: "Grinding machines and milling machines? What is it? ”

Chen Ying gestured with his hand and said, "The milling machine uses a milling cutter to mill the workpiece. In addition to milling planes, grooves, gear teeth, threads and spline shafts, the milling machine can also process more complex profiles, the grinding machine is used to grind metal machine tools, simply put, it is used to grind milling cutters! These two machine tools are very important......... By the way, Father Robben, why is it just a model, not a real thing? ”

Father Robben said with a look of embarrassment: "Actually, this time I carried a physical machine, but when I passed through the Groling Valley, I was robbed by the Turks!" Eight machines, all of which became trophies of the Turks, it is estimated that the steel on those machines should be dismantled by them and swords! ”

"What?" When Chen Ying heard this, he jumped a foot and said angrily: "When did this happen, why didn't anyone tell me?" ”

PS: Yesterday, when I wrote more than 2,000 words, Lao Cheng couldn't bear it, crawled in front of the computer and fell asleep, so I had to wait until now to send it. 4,200 words together, please support it!
