Chapter 223: Li Er mixed with sand

September is the day when the eagle flies, and Li Er, who has been accumulating strength for a long time, finally shows his hideous fangs. The 300,000 Guanzhong disciples who have been waiting for a long time are led by Li Jing as the commander and Li Ji as the deputy commander. Launch the most ferocious attack on Jieli on the grassland.

Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Chai Shao, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Yin Kaishan, Zhang Gongjin, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Liu Zhenghui, Hou Junji...... and so on, Zhenguan celebrities will pour out of the nest. Li Er made a bloody effort for this battle, except for Qin Qiong, who was sick, and Wei Chigong, who stayed in Chang'an, his subordinates and generals all went to the grassland to make military achievements.

Yun Hao lay leisurely on the low couch, next to Li Shentong, who was naked. There are two side dishes on the table, and in the hand is a grape brew filled with ice fish. Icefish, accompanied by grapes, clanged inside the glass.

Autumn tigers are wreaking havoc in the land of Guanzhong, as if they are going to pour all the remaining heat of the year on the place where the sun shines. This time of year is the most difficult time for Li Shentong. When I'm old, I'm afraid of heat. In the middle of summer, Li Shentong couldn't wait to seal himself in ice.

"Boy, I heard that Li Ji intercepted Jieli at the moraine. This time, Jieli can be difficult to fly even if he has wings. The tribes were trapped in the grassland, where there was no wind. It is estimated that in a few days, there will be a big chief who will surrender. The collapse of the Eastern Turks is just around the corner! Li Shentong looked at Yun Hao and said with some amusement.

Yun Hao's number one henchman, Sheng Yanshi, was in Li Ji's army, and if there was no all-firearms Zuo Wuwei Zhenchangzi, Li Ji would not have been able to stop more than 100,000 Turkic troops outside the moraine.

Originally, this general with troops was the most suitable for Yun Hao. After all, the most skilled general in the Tang Empire using firearms was Yun Hao. But when Li Er discussed with Yun Hao, Yun Hao categorically refused. Datang founded the country with military merits, and rejected such an opportunity to make world-class military exploits, which was unexpected by everyone.

"Don't be tempted, the kid said that if he doesn't bring troops anymore, he really won't lead soldiers again. How good it is to enjoy happiness in Chang'an safely, you have to go to the grassland to suffer. Hu Tian is snowing in August, and we are still sunny days. Maybe it's already snowing on the prairie, and I've been holding my hands in my crotch all day. Lao Tzu didn't want to live like that!

It's so good now, you can eat whatever you want. You can drink whatever you want, and it's okay to take a turn in the fiefdom. Flying eagles and walking dogs, except for not robbing the people's daughters, what are we not allowed to do?

Sheng Yanshi's teacher Qiu Shili fished for military merit with Li Ji, and Li Wenzhong guarded against the Koreans in Hebei. Li Jiqu suddenly said that it was too late for them to be enveloped, who would deliberately give them small shoes to wear. The entire Zuo Wuwei has been firearmed, and the gunpowder workshop of the academy has also been handed over to the imperial court. It's the court itself that doesn't want it, so it has to be stuffed back. Now I don't have any hands in it, and I throw it all to Wen Daya. Yun family, now to keep a low profile. ”

"Fuck off! It's low-key! As far as the things you make up, who in the court can play with them. He will be a supervisor who learns to make black powder and blow it up three times a month. Huang Pu Wuyi himself was injured, and the fold of telling the old man to return to his hometown had been handed over, waiting for His Majesty's approval. ”

"Those bastards are not informal, can they blame me? Tell them plainly that these things should be kept away from the fire. When stirring, you should never use iron. But what if they don't listen? Yun Hao is not happy, the gunpowder workshop of the academy is carried out in strict accordance with the operating specifications. It's been several years, and I haven't seen any accidents.

Will be the prison of those bastards, just a few days of tinkering. I thought I understood this thing, but not only did I not follow the operating specifications. actually lit hot wine on the stove in the workshop, and didn't fry them to anyone.

"Speaking of fire, roll one for the old man." Li Shentong suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked with wide eyes.

"This thing is addictive to smoking too much, you're old age. Smoking this stuff is not good for the lungs. Yun Hao knew that this old guy came here today for the smoke. The last time I drank at the Yun family, I was in line with the principle that tobacco and alcohol are not separated. Yun Hao rolled an old drought for Li Shentong!

This Li Shentong is really supernatural, and he has no knowledge of smoking. After choking on two sips, he was able to calmly spit out smoke rings. Yun Hao was very skeptical that this old bastard had ever smoked.

snatched the tobacco and the cut note from Yun Hao's pocket. When I came to Yunhao today, I knew that the tobacco must have been smoked and he came to his house to rob it.

"I'm this age, can't I smoke a cigarette? Hurry up, if there is smoke, take it and gluttony. Li Shentong hooked his hand at Yun Hao, and he specially observed. Yun Hao didn't have a cigarette pouch on his waist!

Think about it, too, the old guy is a handful of years. It's not a big deal to smoke a cigarette!

Tell Xin'er, and after a while, Xin'er will bring a bag of tobacco. There are also small cut-out notes.

Li Shentong took it with a smile and actually thanked Xin'er. Xin'er's hands trembled in fright, and the tobacco almost spilled on the ground.

Take out two strips of paper, fold them crosswise, fold them at the front and narrow at the back, and bend them between your middle and index fingers to form a U-shape. In the other hand, three fingers pinched up some tobacco and sprinkled evenly on the strip of paper. The old man's eyes were full of piety, as if he was fiddling with not a cigarette, but a work of art.

Seeing the old guy's skillful movements, Yun Hao knew that Li Shentong had become an old smoking gun. Helplessly picked up the match, and the life of "呲" was lit. The old guy took the chirp off the front and took two puffs against the flames. Then he comfortably exhaled a puff of cigarette and lay on the recliner with a happy face.

Judging by his expression, you know that he is smoking. I don't know, I thought he was smoking big.

Yun Hao shook his head helplessly, he decided to strictly limit the tobacco to himself and Li Shentong. Even Li Er doesn't plan to give it!

The resistance of the turtles in the Tang Dynasty to tobacco is almost zero, and they really dare not imagine that there is a sign prohibiting smoking hanging at the entrance of the Taiji Palace.

"I heard that you are doing a big business, how about an old man?" Li Shentong said to Yun Hao while smoking a cigarette.

"It's not a big business, I asked Your Majesty for an island as a fief. I always want to be an island owner to play, that is the famous Penglai Fairy Island. I want to see if there are any gods there. ”

"Fuck off! You don't believe in ghosts and gods, will you go to the gods? Everyone knows that maritime merchants have money to earn, but our Guanzhong men can do anything, but they can't go into the water. Children raised in puddles of water can't go to the sea after all. I heard that you have hired two shipbuilders, do you want to build ships and become maritime merchants? The old guy opened his eyes and said with a serious face.

I understand that tobacco has a lot of charm. But Li Er's suspicion was even greater, and he knew that Li Er didn't understand what Yun Hao was going to do without asking. Thanks to his uncle, he came to find out.

"Well said! Say! However, it is not possible for you to become a shareholder, and it is best to say that the king of Hejian County is a shareholder. I heard that he trained the water army in Dongting Lake, and he has a good hand on the water. Get some! Before we can do business, we have to be pirates. There are too many bastards on the sea, and the eyes of the Koreans and the Japanese are red. If you want the sea to be smooth, you have to throw these guys into the sea and feed the fish. Yun Hao rolled a cigarette for himself, the current Li Shentong is not that lovely elder. It is a special envoy sent by Li Er, and the two identities must be clearly distinguished. Once you can't tell the difference, the consequences are serious!

"This will provoke disputes between the Tang Dynasty and Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom!" Li Shentong's eyes widened, Datang had accumulated strength for many years. Only then can a decisive battle be waged against the Eastern Turks, and now it is absolutely impossible to open a second front against Goryeo.

"Why are you in a hurry? I'm going to build a ship, a very big ship. Coupled with the training of the crew, you don't have to think about it for two or three years. The Eastern Turkic affairs will be completely resolved after this winter. After three or two years, those generals in the imperial court will have itchy hands.

Besides! Don't you really think that the three crusades of the former Sui against Goryeo were really because of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty? Goryeo is a scourge, and they are absolutely not willing to stay on the Goryeo Peninsula. Liaodong was originally the homeland of my Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ruled the four counties of Liaodong Han. Now that His Majesty is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally has the obligation to ensure that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is not invaded by foreign races.

The battle with Goryeo will be fought sooner or later. And if you want to attack Goryeo, you must have a reliable sailor. Without the sailors to transport supplies, it would have been very difficult to defeat Goryeo.

You haven't been to that place in Liaodong, it's so cold in winter that you can freeze and crack stones. The earth can crack open, and when the Liao River freezes, even ox carts can walk on it without worry. Fighting in such a place, the battle must not be delayed until winter. In other words, the only time that can be used is from April to October. In the meantime, you have to remove rain and floods, and so on. There's less time to spare! Without supplies by sea, it would have been very difficult to conquer.

The boy built the ship, and went out to be a pirate. Even if Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom protested, there was no way, they had more pirates at sea. This can not only test their bottom line, but also weaken their strength. can also give the imperial court a sailor who can fight. Such a good thing, where to find it! ”

"I see! However, filial piety is mixed in, and it is not good not to bring His Majesty. You know, the inner house is also poor now. Li Shentong finally put it forward, and Li Er wanted to get involved in the request.

"No problem! Your Majesty can naturally send someone here, but let's talk about it in advance. The sea is not a place to talk about friendship and look at the background, and you have to listen to Lao Tzu when you go to the sea. Otherwise, there will be a big mess. ”

"That's natural, let Michihiko follow you when the time comes. Who is disobedient, hehe! You just kill it! Li Shentong waved his hand heroically, which is what he did on the battlefield back then. With a wave of his hand, countless heads immediately fell to the ground.

The deal was thus concluded, and the Yun family's sole proprietorship immediately became a joint venture of four companies. If you want to do business in Datang, it is difficult to move an inch without joining forces with the surname Li. No wonder so many people are rushing to become emperors. Sitting on the ground and collecting money, this kind of thing can only be done by the emperor. Others, whoever does it will die.

"If you want to build a ship, it's hard to get money! If you don't have money, you can't play the water division. When the generals are back, I'm going to hold a big auction. You've got to get some money! ”

"You kid, you're a money skid. With Zuo Wuwei, this battle is sure to be won. When the killers return to Chang'an, the rewards will definitely not be less. You kid, you even have to earn the money that people have worked hard for. Okay, let them go! As soon as Li Shentong heard this, he was not worth it for those people who were struggling for their lives on the grassland. They were desperately slashing their knives, and here Yun Hao was already fighting the idea of their reward.

"It's all good stuff, you can't buy it if you don't like it. I wish I could sell them all to those rich beards, you know that they are the richest in Chang'an City. ”

Ling Jing is very efficient, but in half a month's work, he found two guys, an old man and a young guy, from Dengzhou.

The old man was in his fifties, and his face was shiny black with an old bark-like face. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty's hair bun and wearing Tang costumes. Yun Hao would have thought he was an African brother!

The youngest one is about twenty years old, and his robes can't hide his sturdy figure. The feet of the walk are in a figure-eight shape, and they always seem to jump and jump. This is the sign of walking the sea all year round! If it weren't for the boots, Yun Hao would definitely be able to see a big foot with the toes wide open.

"Grandpa! This is Gao Yu, Gao Huan's father and son. Their family has built ships for generations, and all the warships built by the Sui expedition to Goryeo were all made by them. Ling Jing bowed down and introduced the two people who were kneeling on the ground.

"Gao Yu ......!" Yun Hao never thought that this old man would be called by this name. Yun Hao really wanted to ask if the old guy could play football.

"It's the old man! Meet Grandpa! The old man kneeling on the ground said.

"Oh! All up, all up! Look! Come on, serve tea! Only then did Yun Hao realize that he had lost his mind. Hurriedly beckoned the two of them to sit down. They are all professionals, and they must not be neglected!

Ling Jing's eyes widened, and Gao Yu and Gao Huan's father and son stood on the spot. They all looked at Yun Hao in a daze, and they didn't dare to sit down.

Yun Hao saw their appearance and thought for a while before he understood.

These days, professionals don't have a temper at all. The low social status also makes them unable to play their tempers. Under normal circumstances, seeing Yun Hao's top honor. They all had to reply on their knees, so that they could stand, even if they could afford to look up to them. The one who dares to let them sit and talk to them on an equal footing is the one in front of them. Also serve tea ......! The father and son of the Gao family all looked flattered.

Looking at the trembling appearance of the Gao family's father and son, Yun Hao smiled helplessly. The status gap is too big, and treating them equally will make them uncomfortable. In that case, let them stand.

opened a drawing on the table, and said to the Gao family father and son: "You look at it first, and I'll explain it to you in detail later." ”

The Gao father and son came to the table and saw a kind of boat that they had never seen before. There are three kinds of patterns, one is from the top down. One is viewed from the front to the back and the other is viewed from the left to the right.
