Chapter 469: The Back Waves of the Yangtze River
When the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers decided that Xue Rengui would serve as the chief of the Xihaidao march to conquer Tuyuhun in the Taiji Palace, far away in the western snowy plateau of Tubo Luosome cities, a Haidongqing flew into the Gardonzan Mansion, this Haidongqing is a falcon that has been domesticated by Gardongzan himself for many years, and it is very spiritual.
Seeing the falcon fly back, a young man in his twenties wearing the costumes of the Tibetan nobility hurriedly came to the falcon trough, untied the bamboo pipe from the falcon's feet, and then took out a roll of sheepskin in the bamboo tube.
And this young man who is about the same age as Li Hao in front of him is not an unknown person, on the contrary, he is very famous in history, his name is Gar Qinling, and his full name is Gar Qinling Zanzhuo, because he is the same as his father Gar Dongzan, who served as the Tubo Great Commentary (Great Minister), and Tubo called the Prime Minister as the Commentary, so the history books often call it the Lunqin Tomb, and he and his father together controlled the Tubo Dynasty for a total of 70 years.
On Qinling is a man of great talent, he is an outstanding politician and military strategist in the history of Tibet, in terms of wisdom, political ability and military talent, no matter which point he is no worse than his father, moreover, when he served as the minister of Tubo, he was directly regent, and he was in power, which was greater than the power of Lu Dongzan.
Speaking of the exploits of the Qin Ling, it is very scary to say, in history, the Qin Ling has defeated the Tang army many times, for a long time, Tubo has been suppressing the Tang Dynasty, these are all given by the defeat of the Qin Ling, the Qin Ling has defeated many famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, the two of the most famous, there are Xue Rengui and Wu Zetian Wang Xiaojie in the period, these two are famous generals in the history of the Tang Dynasty, they have been defeated by him, Wang Xiaojie even because of the defeat to the Qin Ling, and Wu Zetian was demoted to the common people, it can be seen that the military talent of the Qin Ling is really very powerful.
Lu Dongzan is still very accomplished in educating children, his five sons, all of them are very talented, and the Qinling is particularly outstanding, and his sons are very united, which is also the most important reason why the father and son of Gardongzan can control Tibet for 70 years.
After seeing his father's suicide note, Garqin Ling was sad for a moment, and immediately sent someone to prepare a carriage and horses to ask to see Songtsen Gampo.
After Songtsen Gampo saw Lu Dongzan's suicide note, he was also sad and almost cried, but Garqinling endured his grief and comforted: "Zampu, my father mentioned in the suicide note that the Tang Dynasty suffered this great humiliation and will inevitably take revenge, but the Tang army does not dare to come to our plateau to fight, and it is very likely that it will send troops to attack Tuyuhun first, and use Tuyuhun as a training ground, where the troops will attack us after the strong soldiers and horses, Zampu, we should be prepared." ”
"Hmm." Songtsen Gampo nodded and said, "The Great Commentary has always speculated on the accuracy of God, this matter is related to the fortune of my Tubo country, and I can't be lazy, but at the moment, my three major Tubo Rushuai are all lost, and there are only 70,000 soldiers and horses left, which really gives Benzanpu a headache." ”
Gar Qinling saluted respectfully and said: "Zampu, if you can trust Qinling, Qinling is willing to take 30,000 horses and horses to Tuyuhun to guard the town." ”
"Thirty thousand horses...... Songtsen Gampo hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "If the Tang Dynasty sends Li Hao to go, you might deal with it?" ”
Gar Qinling shook his head and said, "Qinling has never fought with him, and he doesn't dare to say anything. "His personality is very similar to Gardonzan, talented, not arrogant, not arrogant, and very stable.
Songtsen Gampo saw that he was old and stable at a young age, and he was immediately relieved, and the Garqin Mausoleum had indeed made a lot of military exploits, so he said: "Okay, Benzanpu and your 30,000 soldiers and horses, go to Tuyuhun to guard, if the Tang army comes, you will intercept it, if you meet Li Hao, do not fight with him, and it is important to preserve your strength." ”
"Yes!" Garqin Ling saluted respectfully, and then said, "Zanpu, now my Tubo national strength has been greatly damaged, if Li Hao personally leads the troops to come, I am afraid it will be very bad, the minister thinks that Zanpu should send a letter of state to the Western Turks to ask for assistance." ”
"Well......" Songtsen Gampo said thoughtfully, "it makes sense, but the responsibility of the envoy is heavy, and the candidate for the envoy must be extremely talented to convince the Western Turkic Khan." ”
Gar Qinling hurriedly said: "Zampu, Qinling is willing to take on this important responsibility!" ”
Songtsen Gampo was surprised when he heard this: "Aren't you going to lead troops to guard Tuyuhun, how can you go to the Western Turks?" ”
Gar Qinling said confidently: "Zanpu rest assured, the Tang army wants to go to Tuyuhun, it will not be able to reach it in two and a half months, Qinling will lead the army to arrive in Tuyuhun, it will only take more than 20 days, and then Qinling will go to the Western Turks on horseback, and it will only take more than a month to go back and forth, and there is plenty of time." ”
"Are you so sure you'll be able to convince the Western Turkic Khan in a matter of days?" Songtsen Gampo asked the Garqin Mausoleum with some concern.
Garqinling said calmly: "To persuade the Western Turkic Khan, just a few words, why take a few days." ”
Seeing that he was so confident and had the demeanor of Gardonzan, Songtsen Gampo was secretly happy and said, "Okay, Ben Zampu will order the preparation of the national letter." ”
Two days later, Garqinling led an army of 30,000 from the city of Luo and headed north to Tuyuhun with his letter of state.
On the Tang side, Xue Rengui also bundled 20,000 soldiers and horses and marched out of Chang'an.
On this expedition, Xue Rengui served as the general manager of the Xikaidao march, and Peng Hai served as the deputy chief of the Xihaidao march, both of them were Li Hao's old acquaintances, Li Hao directly toasted two people with a bowl of wine, which was too advantageous, this time, he used strong wine to toast, after all, he is now an idler, and there is no need to rush to march, even if he is drunk, naturally someone will send him back to the palace to rest, what are you afraid of.
Li Hao is not the only one who came to say goodbye, Li Yuanzhong, Cheng Chumo also came, Li Yuanzhong and Xue Rengui are also old friends, and the two admire each other, heroes are heroes, as for Cheng Chumo, he and Li Hao and Xue Rengui have bowed, how can they not come.
Not long after Xue Rengui entered the court, Peng Hai has just risen recently, and he is half a newcomer, so this expedition, no one else will send it to the ministers of the court, in fact, Li Hao also secretly told them not to send Xue Rengui, let Xue Rengui develop well, and don't provoke any negative impact of gangs and factions for him.
After drinking the farewell wine, Li Hao quietly stuffed a bag for Xue Rengui, and said in a low voice: "Open it after you get on the road." ”
Xue Rengui quietly put the bag in his hand, nodded, and didn't say anything.
At the end of the farewell ceremony, Xue Rengui led the army to set off and headed to the northwest, Li Hao watched the army go away, his eyes were particularly deep, and Li Guocheng asked on the side: "Lord Wang, how long do you think it will take General Xue to take Tuyuhun this time?" ”
Li Hao sighed lightly and said: "God knows, it depends on whether there is any movement in Tubo and the Western Turks, this battle, it is simple, very simple, if it is complicated, it is also quite complicated, if that Qinling comes to stop it, I am afraid I will have to go out." ”
Li Guocheng didn't understand these ways, and secretly thought to himself: "It's just a small Tuguhun, how can it be so complicated?" ”
Sending Xue Rengui away, Li Hao took Li Guocheng and the special forces to escort back to the mansion, and then Li Guocheng went to recruit craftsmen and prepared to go to the old site of the Lantian Marquis Mansion for construction, while Li Hao checked the students' studies in the palace.
The Lantian Hou Mansion was destroyed, resulting in the destruction of the school he built, this time Li Hao rebuilt the villa on the site of the Lantian Hou Mansion, and also built the school again, and now, these hundreds of students are all temporarily staying in his palace, anyway, his palace is very large, and there is no one to live.
Although the school was destroyed, but the students' studies were not delayed for a day, the current teaching teacher has expanded to seventeen people, in addition to the original four students, the first batch of students graduated, more than 20 of the oldest students applied to stay in the school to teach, and in the end only thirteen passed the exam and successfully stayed in the school to become teachers.
Now the vice principal of the school is Cheng Qingyun, the son of Cheng Chumo, who is seventeen years old this year, although he is not very old, but he is extremely stable, and he is super good at mathematics and physics.
Fortunately, the school's annual expenses are not large, plus some tuition subsidies, Shi Najie only needs to give a few hundred yuan every year, which is enough for the school's expenses.
Li Hao's main check is the professional knowledge of all teachers, if the teacher is a half-ass, how can students learn knowledge, he inspected each teacher, and found that their professional knowledge is already very high, although they are all young people, but very studious, while teaching students, they continue to bury their heads in research, and really respond to the sentence that learning is endless.
Carefully calculated, the school has been open for more than five years, in the four years he left, the school has cultivated thousands of students, although these thousands of students are not able to participate in the imperial examination after graduation, but their lives have changed, their thinking has become enlightened and advanced, some students have a good family background, after graduation, they continue to study academics, often go to the school to find teachers to do research together, some people began to study the reality of gravity, and began to try to preach the theory of the universe, and some students inherited their father's business after graduation, Continue to be a carpenter, mason or something, and then apply the physical knowledge learned to life, often can also make some small inventions, as for Cheng Qingyun, he is the most awesome, he is more interested in electricity, he used to major in mathematics and physics, but he is currently studying chemistry, he wants to study the current in physics and the current in chemistry at the same time, to achieve the storage and application of electric current.
When Cheng Qingyun told Li Hao his idea, Li Hao was very shocked, science has changed human life the most, is the application of electricity, he has a hunch, Cheng Qingyun is likely to become a generation of great scientists.
Seeing that the scientific knowledge he brought has begun to affect a group of people, the heroes of the older generation have grown old, the era that belongs to them has passed, the era of young people will come in an all-round way, the waves of the Yangtze River have gradually appeared on the stage of Datang, Li Hao is very excited, these young students will be the fresh blood that activates Datang, although the inertia of history is large, but he has relied on his own strength to change the world, he does not look forward to leaving a name in history, he only hopes that the Chinese nation can always walk in the forefront of the world.
