Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

When he arrived at the steel workshop in Hua'ergou, Ma Mengming was stunned.A city has sprung up from the ground.Moreover, this city is larger than most cities in the Western Regions.To give the simplest example, the ancient city of Loulan, a well-known ancient city in the Western Regions, covers an area of ​​about 12 square meters, about the size of [-] standard football fields.

However, this city is at least three times the size of Loulan City.

Now that there is no battle to fight, these energetic soldiers were captured by Chen Ying. Those who mined mines, those who made steel, those who made steel, and those who built cities, they were more powerful and achieved gratifying results.

After Chen Ying arrived at Hua'ergou, he immediately ordered: "The whole army gathers!"

"Dong dong..." The war drum sounded, and all the soldiers heard the order, hurriedly stopped their work, and quickly returned to the barracks, put on their armor and brought their knives, and returned to the school grounds to assemble.

The fastest responder actually arrived at the school grounds within the time of a stick of incense.

"The morale is high, and the morale of the army is available!" Ma Mengming watched such an efficient army build up, and had a new understanding of the elite team under Chen Ying's command.

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No, no! Have you noticed that these quickly assembled troops are from the Cao Department of the Ninth Department of Zhaowu?"

"Well, so what?" Ma Mengming asked puzzled, "What happened to them?"

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "They, why are they running so fast?"

Ma Mengming said: "It's probably because General Cao Dan trained his steps properly, so he wants to make meritorious service?"

Chen Ying said solemnly: "Maybe there is this reason, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that they are escaping a kind of torture, a torture that is ten times more painful than the enemy's desperate efforts on the battlefield. At least I think Cao Dan’s son Cao Yaqian is like this.”

"Escape from a kind of torture?" Ma Mengming asked suspiciously: "A kind of torture that is worse than going to the battlefield? What is it?"

"Just learn Tang Yan." Chen Ying said with a smile: "Didn't you realize that Tang Yan is very difficult for them to learn? I think Cao Yaqian dare not show it too obviously these days, but The expression that was accidentally revealed was like sawing one's own neck with a knife."

In fact, it is precisely because learning Tang Yan, whether it is farming or reclaiming wasteland, even fighting and fighting the enemy, is more exciting to these Anxi soldiers than learning Tang Yan.

Ma Mengming was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, maybe it was because he had been exposed to it since he was a child, maybe he himself is a genius in human language, but he didn't think Tang Yan was difficult to learn.

But after listening to Chen Ying's words, he felt that there was some truth.

In about a quarter of an hour, the whole army was assembled.The Modao Army, the Xiaoqi Army, the Shesheng Army, and the Hebei New Army all formed a neat square formation with the Zhechong Mansion as the unit.As for the cavalry of each department, after the old, weak, sick and disabled were also abolished, only 5 horses remained.The array is strict, the spears are like a forest, and the horizontal knives are like a wall.

Chen Ying inspected Anxi's troops, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.He asked solemnly: "Do you know why they assembled?"

The [-] troops were silent, and needles could be heard on the school field.In fact, except for the generals at the front, no ordinary soldier could hear what Chen Ying said.

"Because the Tubo people went down the mountain, they came to Liangzhou while our brothers were leaving Liangzhou, and burned, killed and looted in the five states of Sha, He, Gua, Gansu and Su! How dare you brazenly invade Datang? It’s because they clearly didn’t take our brothers seriously, but they are brave enough to come and kick us!”

The generals in front of the queue listened to Chen Ying, their facial muscles twitched slightly, like gangster bosses boosting morale before a fight.It's a very shameful thing to be kicked by the Tibetans. Those damned Tibetans are slapping them in the face!

However, Chen Ying said beamingly: "Well done, well done. The governor of the capital was worried that there would be no coolies for road construction in the Western Regions, so they came to him. These Tubo people, you should keep them for the governor of the capital." Hands, don't kill them all, I still want to keep them, and let us reclaim more land and build more roads. Whose land is reclaimed? Of course, it belongs to the brothers. Reclaim ten acres of land, you guys I also have an extra income, so that you, your family members, can live comfortably. Even if you are killed or injured in battle, your children can live a prosperous life by relying on this inheritance. The military exploits will not be less than yours. !"

Hearing that they had achieved a lot in battle, these soldiers became short of breath.Originally they were the Anxi Army, and the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion was not their defense area, but they were all excited when they heard that Chen Ying was going to use these prisoners of war to cultivate wasteland for them and liberate them from this heavy labor.

"The old rule is that one reward for killing an enemy is five guan, the seriously injured one is given ten guan for medical treatment, and the one who is killed is twenty guan!" Chen Ying said: "Capturing an enemy is counted as beheading!"

All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "Dadu is mighty, Dadu is all victorious!"

Chen Ying said again: "Now I order that the Shesheng Army, the Hebei New Army, and the Modao Army stay in the camp! The others immediately bring all their equipment and set off, let's go make a fortune!"

Hearing that the various ministries began to prepare, only Duan Zhigan opened his mouth, wanting to bring the Hebei new army to practice, but Chen Ying's order had already been issued, and the military order was no joke, so he had to give up for the sake of Chen Ying's authority.He looked at Chen Ying eagerly, hoping that he would give him a chance to make contributions.

Chen Ying looked at Duan Zhigan and said, "Let Ma Canjun explain to you why you are here!"

Ma Mengming thought for a while and said, "The Chief Protector, is it because of Murong Fuyun?"

"That's right, Qu's father and son are wicked, they colluded with Murong Fuyun, and they didn't hold back their farts!" Chen Ying looked at these excited servant soldiers, pointed at them and said, "If they are not of my race, their hearts must be different. It’s hard to judge whether the heart is with us or not, but it will take time to test. Now that we and the others are taking them to Liangzhou, you will guard the Western Regions for me, especially the newly reclaimed 75 mu of land. But hold on to me, don't let them set fire to Ben Dadu!"

When Chen Ying said this, Duan Zhigan would be stupid if he didn't understand.

As Chen Ying said, it is impossible to determine whether the more than [-] servants of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions are sincerely loyal to Datang, but as long as they follow Chen Ying to Liangzhou, with the combat effectiveness of the Xiaocavalry, even if they have bad intentions, they will still be able to take advantage of it. Less than cheap.

However, staying in the Western Regions is different, there are many good moves they can do secretly!

After arranging all these matters, Chen Ying said to Liu Tong and Xunxiang, who had just arrived in Jinman, "I know you have worked hard, but I think you also understand the meaning of the formation of the Beiwei army by the general guards. The Tubo people returned to the plateau. , nothing more than two roads, one is from Grimu to Tanggula Mountain, then to Amdo, and then to Nagqu! As far as I know, this Tubo army is not from Nagqu, so they can only return by another road Snowfield."

Then, Chen Ying pointed out from the map: "They will pass from Shancheng (Xining) through Linfan City (Huangzhong Duoba) to Suirong City (south of Huangyuan County), along Qiangshui (Huangshui Nanyuan Yaoshui River) ) through Shibaocheng (Huangyuan Shicheng Mountain), Chiling (Riyue Mountain), Yuchichuan (Daotang River) to Moliyi (Republic Dongba), and Dafeichuan (Republic Qieji Grassland), your The goal is here!"

"Dafeichuan?" Liu Tong tried to ask.

"That's right, it's Dafeichuan!" Chen Ying said, "I want you to arrive at Dafeichuan ahead of time with the Wei army behind you, and stay in hiding. It will take at least two months for us to decide the outcome with the Tubo people. By that time, Dafei The grasslands in Sichuan have also started to turn yellow, if you find that the Tubo army has collapsed, you will set fire to Dafeichuan and cut off Tubo’s way back, and the governor of Dafei will prevent Tubo from returning!”

Chapter 94 Le Jisheng Sorrow and Dystocia

Lingnan King Feng An accepted Li Jing's appeal, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and sent his son Feng Zhidai as an envoy to Chang'an to proclaim himself a minister.

On July [-]th in the fourth year of Wude, Feng Zhidai presented Feng Ang to Li Yuan as a minister.

Li Yuan set up Gao, Luo, Chun, Bai, Ya, Dan, Lin, and Zhen eight prefectures in Lingnan, appointed Feng An as the governor of Shangzhu State and Gaozhou (now Yangjiang, Guangdong), and named Wu Guogong.After the official business was over, Li Yuan hosted a banquet in honor of Feng Zhidai in Wude Hall of Taiji Palace, and invited all civil and military officials to accompany him.

Although Feng Zhidai was an envoy, his official position was only Chunzhou Inspector. This is a Xiazhou Inspector, from the fifth rank.So he has been sitting at the bottom.Li Yuan invited Feng Zhidai to sit with him, but Feng Zhidai said he did not dare.

In fact, Li Yuan was just being polite, meaning did he feel like eating?

However, this trial revealed that Feng Zhidai is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Yuan looked at Feng Zhidai with a smile and said: "Feng Inspector Feng came to our country of Tang under the order of your lord. It was a tiring journey, and I prepared a little wine today to wash away the wind and dust for Feng Inspector as a token of condolence. Although the country has only been established for four years, it has already demonstrated the atmosphere of a great country. Lingnan has its own scenery in Lingnan, and Chang'an has its own splendor in Chang'an. It is rare for Governor Feng to come here. Please stay in Chang'an for a few more days. Let me do my best as a landlord .”

However, Feng Zhidai heard the subtext in Li Yuan's words, which was to test whether Feng Shi was superficially obedient, or harboring evil intentions.It seems that this is to keep himself in Chang'an as a hostage.

However, Feng Zhidai still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, you are being polite. I am extremely guilty. It is really difficult. My father is far away from the Central Plains and has not known the Central Plains for a long time. This time, I am entrusted by my father to go north. Naturally, I have to go for a while. Let's go, the folk customs are naturally worth visiting, or else when I go back to Guangzhou, my father will ask the ministers what they have learned and heard in the Tang Dynasty this time, and the ministers can't answer any of them, so will my father be displeased?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan felt like a bright mirror in his heart. This is Feng Ang's upright plan to find out the details of Datang.Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji, and Pei Ji's eyes met Li Yuan's in the air.

Pei Ji chuckled and said, "Inspector Feng wants to visit Chang'an, but there is one place he has to go to! If not, even coming to Chang'an will be in vain!"

"Where?" Feng Zhidai asked curiously.

Pei Ji said: "Qinglinli, Wannian County, Chang'an!"

Li Yuan laughed in astonishment upon hearing this.Pei Ji is using the steel factory in Qinglin to show off his muscles to Feng An. You must know that Qinglin has not only the largest steel workshop in Datang, but also the largest weapon workshop in Datang. The normal production capacity can produce 20 steel armors a year. If necessary, Datang can even send additional manpower to produce [-] sets, as well as a considerable number of spears, spears, and crossbows. This is the true strength of a country.

What made Li Yuan regret the most was that Chen Ying's Xiaocai Army, Modao Army, and the left and right guards of the East Palace were not in Chang'an City, otherwise they could also be allowed to perform martial arts and let Feng An see Datang's martial arts.

Feng Zhidai bowed his head and remained silent. Regarding the prosperity of Datang, there were some news from Lingnan. Feng Zhidai didn't believe it either.

In terms of the strength of the country, it was nine years before Yang Guang's great cause. At that time, the Sui Dynasty was really strong.The Weapons Supervisor in Luoyang can manufacture 20 sets of armor a year. This is why Yang Guang once again summoned a million troops in just one year after he failed to conquer Goguryeo. This is Yang Guang's confidence.

However, seeing that Li Yuan asked him to visit Qinglinli so frankly, Feng Zhidai knew that the rumors might be true.Otherwise, Li Yuan wouldn't let him visit Qinglinli.

Feng Zhidai's hesitation and bitterness were all in Li Yuan's eyes.Li Yuan was very proud, at this moment, the maids dispersed, and in the middle of the hall, a group of musicians filed in.

After these musicians sat down, they began to play.The rhythm of the music was very cheerful, and eight dancers in green skirts entered the arena, but these dancers held swords in one hand and shields in the other.Of course, these are not real weapons, but wooden swords and wooden shields.
