Chapter 367: The Prince Rebels
Li Hao sent special forces and more than 200 craftsmen to Nantuo Mountain to build a cement kiln, and at the same time asked Du Hong to arrange people to buy a big ship, trying to sail from Bianzhou to Bohai via the Yellow River, leaving 200 Xuanjia soldiers at home to guard. Fastest updates
More than 20 days later, the cement kiln was built, directly from the nearby mountains to mine high silica limestone, transported over, Li Hao went to Nantuo Mountain again to guide them to produce cement, Nantuo Mountain cement road project opened, road construction by special forces to do, those craftsmen are only responsible for mining and transporting raw stones and firing cement, do not let them see the magical use of cement, craftsmen have always wondered, why Li Hao produces so much ash, because in their eyes, cement is ash.
The cement road is built very quickly, and Li Hao's requirements for the cement road are not high, the road surface is uneven, as long as he can let his RV walk, fortunately, the mountain of Nantuo Mountain is not steep, the slope of the road is not large, only one and a half months, the cement road extends to the side of the col, this col is about eight zhang high, ten zhang thick, even if explosives are used, it is not one or two rounds can be exploded, and the amount of explosives each time can not be too much, otherwise it may cause a landslide.
Li Hao finally decided to wait for the thunderstorm, use thunder to cover up the sound of explosives, and blow up from the inside of the col to the outside, but since explosives are to be used in thunderstorms, then moisture-proof measures must be taken, and gunpowder cannot be damp.
Summer thunderstorms are very common, Pei Miao observed the wind and clouds, expected to rain in two days, sure enough, two days later, it rained, but the rain was not large, and there was occasionally a low thunder.
Li Hao was overjoyed, such weather was just right, when even if the special forces began to be busy burying explosives and detonating again and again, the roar in Nantuo Mountain did not stop, and the workers in the cement kiln a few miles away wondered, this weather is logically not thundery, how can it be so loud, and this thunder is staring at a place to split? Anyone there?
They wanted to go out to see, but there were more than a dozen special forces here watching them and not letting them out.
After being blown up more than a dozen times, the heavy col was blown open a large gap, about five or six meters wide, enough for the RV to drive out.
Li Hao hurriedly asked the special forces to cut down the trees in the col, braving the rain to repair the road, three days, the cement road was completely dry, everything was in order, the cement road extended directly from the front of the RV to the wilderness under the mountain, although the wilderness has no road, overgrown with weeds, pedestrians can not walk, but there is no problem for the RV, and then, it is to wait for the news from Du Hong's side.
Li Hao sent special forces to hold here, not letting anyone go up the mountain, and then destroyed the cement kiln and went home with all the craftsmen.
After waiting for three days when he arrived home, finally, Du Hong came to report that the first batch of big ships had entered the sea smoothly and were currently returning home, Li Hao immediately asked him to buy three more big ships, full of daily necessities, pretending to be merchant ships, and as soon as there was news, he immediately asked Chen Song to go to Nantuo Mountain to report.
Then he hurried to Nantuo Mountain, ready to set off at any time.
After arriving at Nantuo Mountain, Li Hao let all the special forces disperse to go down the mountain, and then went to Bianzhou Port, where he met Du Hong, five days later, Chen Song sent a message that the port was ready, Li Hao took Lu Yun and Chen Song to the car that night, and the RV that had been silent for many years was finally started, and it went down the mountain quickly along the cement road.
In order to reduce the movement, Li Hao switched the car to the electric drive mode, the large battery in the RV is in a full state, enough for the RV to drive far, although the electric drive mode is quiet, but it is slow, the maximum speed is only fifty yards, fifty yards is enough, from Nantuo Mountain to Bianzhou, it is two or three hundred miles, before dawn the next day, Li Hao's car came to the dock smoothly.
The dock has long been controlled by the special forces, of course, they are not in the open, but more than a hundred people, all dressed in night clothes, masked, pretending to be robbers, controlling the dock, driving everyone to the dock warehouse and tying them up.
In the dark night, Li Hao's RV swaggered over the gangplank and got on the boat, I have to say, this boat is still a sea boat, it is only so a little big, an RV goes up, the boat is shaking for a long time, Li Hao feels that this kind of boat is okay to walk in the offshore area, and it is absolutely not okay to go out to sea.
After Li Hao pulled the handbrake, he turned his head to Lu Yun and said: "Lu Yun, look at it, this residence, only I can drive it, but I can't go to Liuqiu Island with you, after you get to Liuqiu, first carry this mechanism handle, and then push it forward, you try it now." ”
Lu Yun tried it and successfully released the handbrake, and then Lu Yun asked blankly, "Why hasn't this house moved?" ”
Li Hao sweated wildly and said: "This mechanism is a locking mechanism, as long as it is pulled up, the house will not move, and it will not be pushed and pushed, but as long as it is released, it can be pushed, when the time comes, a group of you will push the house to the shore, find a good place to build a camp, pay attention, don't offend the local natives, they are very fierce, and the number should be more than you, if there is a conflict, it is not good, you can try to learn their language, try to get along with them, we have so many materials, and excellent rice seeds, I believe that they will rely on us in the future, and everything will be done according to my plan anyway. ”
Lu Yun nodded while listening, and finally said, "Okay, I've written it down, young master, don't worry." ”
"Well, let's go down." After he finished speaking, he got out of the car door, and Chen Song and Lu Yun also got out of the car together.
Li Hao walked to the deck, looked at the eastern sky, and said slowly: "It's almost dawn, you Yang Fan, remember to cover the roof with canvas, don't be discovered." ”
"Yes!" All the people took the command in unison.
Li Hao didn't say much, and took Chen Song to step on the gangplank to go ashore, and the people on the boat suddenly got up, removed the springboard, lifted the anchor, Yang Fan, and the three big ships slowly sailed out of the port.
"Let's go, alas, relieved at last." Li Hao breathed a long sigh of relief.
At noon, Li Hao and Chen Song came to Bianzhou City and found an inn to eat and rest, but they didn't expect to hear the guests around them discussing the war during the meal.
In fact, Li Hao has been busy with the transfer of the RV for more than two months, but he has ignored the affairs of the court, and many major events have happened in the court during this time, first of all, Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan ordered his son Dadu to set up troops such as Tongluo, Fugu, Hui, Xiao (all of the above) and other troops, a total of 200,000 people to cross the attack on the Turkic Qili Khan. Tong Lishuai's troops retreated to Shuozhou (now Shuoxian County, Shanxi) and sent envoys to report to Tang. Li Shimin ordered Zhang Jianshuai, the governor of Yingzhou, to force the troops to the east, and Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, was the head of the Shuozhou Road march, Li Daliang was the head of the Lingzhou Road march, Zhang Shigui was the head of the Qingzhou Road march, and Li Xiyu was the head of the Liangzhou Road march, and attacked Xue Yantuo in five ways to rescue the Turks. Xue Yantuo was afraid, sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, and asked for peace with the Turks, but in vain, the Tang army defeated Xue Yantuo, killed 3,000 people, captured more than 50,000 people, and fled magnanimously. Xue Yantuo sent an envoy to apologize, and Taizong was willing to give up, and warned the envoy of Zhenzhu Khan: From now on, Xue Yantuo and the Turks are bounded by the desert and are not allowed to invade each other.
The Turks, who were once prosperous, can now only rely on the Tang Dynasty to breathe and rely on the protection of the Tang Dynasty, no wonder these guests are here to talk and talk happily, indeed, this is a thing to be proud of.
In fact, Li Hao didn't know that what happened in the past two months was more than this major event, almost in the same month, in the west of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks attacked Yizhou, and Anxi protected Guo Xiaoke, the Western Turks were such a strong country, and they failed to attack Yizhou, which made the prestige of the Yibi Lu Khan greatly damaged, and the people were quite complaining, and the steppe people were fierce, once the Khan lost his prestige, he was likely to be murdered by his subordinates, and a new Khan was established.
After the Ebi shot the Khan, the amnesty was granted to the Khanate, and many people who committed great sins were exonerated, among which there was a female general named Dili Larna, who was not only released, but also got the importance of the Ebi Khan, and the official was reinstated, she was the little Di that Li Hao once talked about.
On July 15, Yingzhou reported that Gaoliquan Gai Suwen had killed his Wang Wu, and Liwu's nephew Zang was the king.
Now that it is August 18, Li Hao missed a good opportunity to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family, and he felt very guilty, but he couldn't help himself, so he could only apologize to them after going back.
And on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Li Shimin and all the princes and princesses admired the moon together, during the banquet, the crown prince Li Chengqian behaved very well, and also chanted a poem, although the poem was not good, but his attitude was very good, Li Shimin was very pleased.
Then the crown prince Li Chengqian proposed that now that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a good time for autumn to be high and refreshing, so it is better to hold an autumn hunting round-up.
Li Shimin thought this was a good idea and nodded in agreement.
The next day, Li Shimin ordered the autumn hunting to be arranged, scheduled for August 21, and the address was selected in Shaohua Mountain.
On the day when Li Shimin sent out the news of the autumn hunt, Hou Junji and Li Chengqian had already begun to act secretly, because this autumn hunt was a good time for them to rebel, and they had been waiting for this day for a long time.
If Li Shimin is in the Taiji Palace, it is absolutely impossible for them to succeed in the rebellion, but if they are in the suburbs, it will be different, there is no tall palace wall, there are many people fighting, and what is fighting is combat power, and Hou Junji has already inquired, this time Li Shimin is ready to bring 4,000 Yulin Wei and 4,000 Jinwuwei, a total of 8,000 troops.
This bit of strength, in Hou Junji's opinion, is nothing at all, and he is calculated with his heart or not, and his fifty percent grasp instantly mentioned eighty percent.
On August 21, the hunting team put out the emperor's ceremonial drive, set off from Mingde Gate in a mighty way, made a big bend, and drove to Shaohua Mountain, because the team was too large, and it was the emperor who traveled, and carried too many goods, and it took three days to arrive at Shaohua Mountain.
On the night of Shaohua Mountain, when Zhang Liang went to the toilet at night, he found that Li Chengqian and Hou Junji had secretly met, as if they were discussing something, and also made a move to cut off his neck, Zhang Liang was startled, thought about it carefully, and immediately guessed that Li Chengqian might be plotting a rebellion with Hou Junji, he was suddenly stupid, and he didn't notice that he peed his pants.
Although he proposed to Li Chengqian to win over Hou Junji, his original intention was just to hope that Hou Jun would support Li Chengqian, keep the position of the crown prince, and then ascend the throne smoothly, instead of plotting to rebel, if Li Chengqian's rebellion succeeded, it would be fine, if the rebellion failed, then he Zhang Liang would definitely die hard, he returned to the room and thought for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and finally let go and asked to see Li Shimin overnight.
