In the eighth year of Zhenguan, he was born in Jiawu.
The railway line from Chang'an City to Luoyang City was finally opened to traffic. Li Er, who was very happy, once again summoned various envoys to ride from Chang'an City to Luoyang City to show the majesty of the Tang Dynasty before all nations.
Compared to the past, there was one more person in the envoy team this time, a person that Li Yunze paid great attention to.
This person's name is Lu Dongzan, and he is the Prime Minister of Tubo.
On this mission to Datang, on the one hand, he saw that Datang's hands had penetrated deeply into the Western Regions, and he was anxious to come over to inquire for information.
On the other hand, they want to seek help from Datang, and they want everything in terms of materials and technology.
Although Lu Dongzan came down from the mountain, his brain was not dizzy due to the enrichment of oxygen. On the contrary, he was very flexible.
】
As soon as he came over, he sent gold, silver and jewelry everywhere, and tried to find out information about the Tang Dynasty from all aspects.
The nobles were more strict with their mouths and did not think much of Lu Dongzan's gold, silver and jewelry. After all, they had been on the battlefield and knew that there were some things they should not say.
However, things were obviously not going well with the civil servants. Many people accepted Lu Dongxuan's money and regarded him as a brave and heroic man. They could talk about anything while having a drink together.
It can be said that since ancient times, civil servants have almost no sense of confidentiality and are extremely easy to be bribed.
In addition to simply inquiring, Lu Dongzan also traveled around to see with his own eyes the prosperity and technological development of the Tang Dynasty.
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, abundant supplies of materials, and advanced technology all left a deep impression on Lu Dongzan.
He dared to swear to the gods that he had never seen such a powerful, wealthy and civilized place in the world even in his dreams.
The endless crops on the Guanzhong Plain, the countless cattle, sheep and horses in Lijiazhuang Ranch, the various water conservancy facilities on the Eight Rivers around Chang'an, the mountains of goods in the East and West cities, especially the ones next to Longshouyuan. The huge blacksmith shop that stretched for dozens of miles and continuously spewed black smoke into the sky made Lu Dongzan's eyes red.
Especially when he personally took the railway from Chang'an City to Shengzhou and felt the terrifying power brought by the steel behemoth. After getting off the train, his first thought was to grab it!
Primitive tribes have little civilization, and the most common principle is robbery.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t have it, just grab what’s available.
They don't feel there is anything to be ashamed of, because they have no civilization or culture, so they naturally take pride in showing off their barbarism and force.
It's just that Lu Dongzan had the brains to see the Tang Dynasty's steel army... It was really a steel army. The Tang army, especially the Tang army deployed around Chang'an City, had a basic armor-wearing rate that was infinitely close to that of all members wearing armor. Among them, the iron armor It is close to more than 80%.
Needless to say, the Tang Army's terrifying armor rate alone was enough to calm down Lu Dongzan's frantic head.
After all, the sentence before Chen Tang said, "The former five men can serve as Han soldiers and one (one Han can serve as five barbarians)" is "Hu people's weapons are dull and blunt, and their bows and crossbows are not good." '
Why weapons such as bows and crossbows are ineffective is of course because of the armored stomach with strong defense.
Tang Junjia had so many stomachs, and his energy and energy were also extremely high. Naturally, Lu Dongzan knew very well that Tubo could not defeat him now.
When the robbers cannot be defeated, they will disguise themselves and wait for the opportunity in disguise.
Lu Dongzan also found out that the rapid development of Tang Dynasty's productivity in recent years was closely related to the owner of Lijiazhuang.
It can even be said that basically all good things come from Lijiazhuang.
So what Lu Dongzan wanted to do most was to make friends with Li Yunze.
The train started, rumbling towards Luoyang.
The envoys looked around curiously, with a mixture of envy and fear on their faces.
Not to mention the steel behemoth that is said to be able to travel thousands of miles in a day. Just the steel laid along the way is a number that makes the envoys crazy, a number that they dare not even think about.
Lu Dongzan only glanced at it for a few times before looking away, walking towards Li Yunze who had taken out a new book and was about to read it.
"Stop!"
Before Lu Dongzan could get closer, Li Yunze frowned and stretched out his hand to signal him to stop.
Lu Dongzan looked puzzled, but he spoke smoothly in Chinese, "What's wrong?"
"Have you ever taken a shower in your life?" Li Yunze did not hide the look in his eyes at all. "The smell of sex is coming over me before I even get close to you. Go away quickly and don't smoke me."
In an instant, Lu Dongzan's face turned extremely ugly.
Everyone around him also had expressions of amazement on his face and looked over subconsciously.
As the Prime Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan had never been so humiliated. If it had been high in the mountains, his bones would have been dismantled and used to make drums.
But this is Datang!
Thinking again about the mission he had undertaken, Lu Dongzan forcibly suppressed his anger, bowed to Li Yunze and turned around to leave.
Li Yunze continued to flip through the book without even raising his eyelids.
After driving rumblingly all the way, after passing Huazhou, Li Er came over and sat next to him.
Seeing Li Yunze put the book away with alert eyes, Li Er's eyelids twitched unnaturally.
'What's there to hide? It's like I'm going to steal your book, spat. '
Li Er calmed down and asked with a smile, "I heard that you don't want to see Lu Dongzan?"
"It's not against him." Li Yunze, who looked calm, shook his head repeatedly. "I'm against all those who have ulterior motives."
"Lu Dongzan has ulterior motives?" Li Er frowned, "But many people say that he is upright and generous and a good man."
Li Yunze looked sideways and said, "I told His Majesty before about Tubo, but have you forgotten about it?"
Li Er touched his nose and said, "It's not as serious as you said."
Hearing this, Li Yunze's eyes sharpened, "Your Majesty is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he must protect the people of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Er immediately said seriously, "This is natural. I am responsible for protecting the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"Have you ever thought about it, your majesty, that after the war with Tubo, the Tang army was defeated and the Tibetans invaded the prefectures and counties. Millions of Tang people were plundered and taken to the mountains as slaves. They were bullied, and their lives were worse than death, and their lives were worse than livestock. They were often raped in various ways. They were tortured, and even after they died, they were stripped to make musical instruments..."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Li Er stood up excitedly and waved his arms, "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are invincible. They will defeat all enemies!"
Li Yunze looked at him coldly with an indifferent expression. After a moment, he looked away and took out his book to read.
Everyone in the carriage looked over.
Li Er, whose face was as dark as water, glared at the people in the carriage fiercely, "Get out of here!"
Everyone dared not to listen, they all hurried to other carriages.
Panting heavily, Li Er sat down, holding his knees with his hands and saying nothing.
Li Yunze was reading, while Li Er was in a daze. It was quiet inside the carriage, except for the sound of the wheels rubbing against the rails.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Er asked quietly, "Is Tubo that strong?"
"It's not that Tubo is that strong." Li Yunze closed the book and looked over, "It's that the Tang army will gradually lose its combat effectiveness."
"Impossible." Li Er shook his head repeatedly, "I, the Tang cavalry, are invincible."
"That's right now, what about later?"
Li Yunze looked slightly cold, "A hundred years later, there were more and more people in the Tang Dynasty, and the land was not enough to be divided. The clans, nobles, civil servants and generals began to annex the land. The soldiers even lost their own land, so there was no fighting capacity left. "
"When His Majesty was alive, everything was fine. But His Majesty is no longer here. Who can guarantee that every future emperor will have your Majesty's confidence and determination?"
"The Tang army has strong combat effectiveness because it can stand out with its military merits, so everyone naturally competes for the first place." Li Yunze smiled, but his smile was a little cold. "But a hundred years later, there are more and more children of noble civil and military officials, and they need military merits to gain benefits. Under constant oppression and occupation, which soldier would still be willing to die for the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Er raised his hand to stop Li Er who was about to speak. "Don't say it's impossible. The military merit system in Qin Dynasty was so strict, but it collapsed immediately after Zulong died. No one in Qin was willing to protect Qin, let alone the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Er, who was sitting on the chair, turned red, and his hands holding his knees could not help but tremble.
Li Chengqian looks like this. He doesn't know what he will do when he becomes emperor. God knows what kind of monsters will appear in the future.
During the Jin and Jin Dynasties, various strange things emerged one after another, and Li Er was also frightened when he read the history books.
After a long silence, Li Er asked in detail, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"beat!"
Li Yunze said simply and neatly, "Keep pushing outwards. No matter how difficult the local conditions are, learn from Zulong and work hard to expand outwards. Only by making the cake bigger can we avoid involution. If the clan has more honors, move outwards." Enfeoffments were made, and when the population increased, they would migrate out. Anyway, it was all land acquired, so you would be given as much land as you wanted."
"Fight outward, grab outward. Fight to the end of the world, to the end of the world. Let the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty always be bathed in the sun. Let the Tang Dynasty become the unparalleled Tang Dynasty!"
Li Er was greatly shocked by these words and stared at Li Yunze speechlessly.
He thought that by becoming the Heavenly Khan, he would be a peerless wise king comparable to the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. He felt that his achievements were unprecedented.
But he never thought that his achievements, which he thought were timeless and brilliant, were so insignificant compared to what Li Yunze said.
"As long as the Tang Dynasty didn't focus on the inward war, but rolled all the contradictions outward, Tubo would be nothing. There was no need to worry about it."
Li Yunze leaned back on the chair again, picked up the book and opened it, "I can assure your majesty that there is no country more powerful than the Tang Dynasty in this world. What the Tang Dynasty has to do is very simple. The army will go over and destroy them, and the clan will be noble in civil and military affairs." We used to govern the place, and the people whose land could not bear it went over and cultivated their land and made it ours."
"The Angsa robbers and the Germanic ice cream are all Yin Zu special!"
The train was speeding along at a super high speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. It did not stop at any train station along the way, not even at Tongguan. It went directly through the renovated and widened city gate and headed straight for Luoyang. .
When the railway was built and the city gate was demolished directly from Tongguan to pass through the city, many people opposed it, believing that this would greatly affect Tongguan's defense capabilities.
When Li Er asked about this, Li Yunze's response was simple, "If any enemy army can reach Tongguan City, it means that the combat power of the Tang Dynasty has been completely destroyed. It doesn't matter whether there is or not."
With strong self-confidence, Li Er resisted the pressure and agreed to the plan for the railway line to pass directly through the city gate.
After that, the train made no stops along the way except for refilling water, and it was still rushing to Luoyang at a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.
Li Yunze and the others set off in the morning and arrived in Luoyang before midnight that night, which was considered a late arrival.
The train can cover eight to nine hundred miles in one day, from Chang'an City to Luoyang City. This feat brings great shock to the passengers on the train!
