When Songtsen Gampo was struggling here, Dorji was also very excited at the moment.
They were finally going to set off. This study lasted almost a month. He learned a lot in this month. The gentlemen sent by His Highness taught them many methods of transmitting information and told them what they had done. The thing is such a great thing.
Now Dorje feels that he is different from a month ago. He now knows exactly what he wants to do and what he wants to do.
He wants to spread the flame of His Highness's ideals throughout Tubo, let His Highness's ideal flames burn among the Tubo slaves, and burn all the noble slave owners!
What Duoji didn't expect was that when they were there yesterday, His Highness sent a painter to draw two portraits for each of the seven of them. The unique black and white portraits were magical. Duoji made them while riding on a horse. He I never thought that an artist could actually draw him so closely!
This kind of portrait is called a sketch.
The artist painted a total of two paintings, one of which showed him sitting there and left it to his family, while the other one was said to be useful by His Highness.
Duoji has been replaced by a pair of original clothes from Tubo. Although Tubo is already very cold, he must wear these clothes because in Tubo, these are the clothes worn by slaves, even in winter. Every winter, slaves will be frozen. die.
Fortunately, he had thick leather clothes to wear before arriving in Tubo.
Dorje and his family rushed to the gathering place, but what surprised Dorje was that when they arrived, a group of soldiers had already appeared here, and there were at least a thousand soldiers standing in two rows in neat lines. . And all the original Tibetan herdsmen from the villages nearby came.
"You are all here, it's okay. His Highness said, if everything goes well, maybe I can come back next year." Duoji said with a smile.
Despite saying this, Dorje's family members still shed tears, but no one of them stopped them. Because during this period, Duoji would tell them what he had learned every day when he came back from study, and what a great undertaking it was.
They also understood a lot.
"Time is tight today, so let's go." Lin Quan walked over and whispered.
Duoji nodded, then got on the horse, and the other six people also got on the horse.
"Follow this general and he will take you to the border." Lin Quan pointed to a captain at the front and said.
"Meet the general."
"You're welcome, I'm not a general, let's get going." The captain immediately shook his head with a smile, then saluted Duoji and the others before speaking.
"Yes!" Duoji and others naturally had no objection. When the captain led a group of soldiers and led them to the middle of the two rows of soldiers, a captain standing on the ground shouted loudly: "Stand at attention!"
"Shua!" With a uniform voice, all the soldiers retracted their stepped out feet, put their legs together, and held their heads high.
Duoji and the others were stunned for a moment. Before they could react, they heard the captain on the ground shout loudly: "Salute to the hero!"
With a "swish" sound and a uniform sound of drawing the sword, the Tang knives from the waists of all the soldiers were pulled out, followed by two "click" and "click" sounds at almost the same angle, with the tip of the knife facing upwards, standing in front of them.
Rulin's blade sparkled in the sunlight, but at this moment Duoji and all the Tubo herdsmen watching were stunned. Was this... saluting them? !
Are these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty saluting these people? ! Call them heroes?
The Duoji people felt something surging in their chests, and their eyes were a little hot, but everyone tried their best to hold it back. They wanted to return the favor, but they couldn't move for some reason, so they could only let the horses follow them. A small group of soldiers in the front moved forward.
At this moment, Dorje and others felt an unprecedented sense of glory filling their hearts. They called him a hero, but Dorje knew clearly that now... he is not a hero yet! Maybe one day when he can lead more Tubo slaves to get rid of those slave owners, he can be called a hero!
Duoji buried this thought deeply in his heart and did not say it out loud, but his eyes became extremely firm.
It wasn't until the last of them left the queue of soldiers that Duoji vaguely heard the roar of "Li Bi" coming from behind him.
Duoji did not look back, and the sound of horseshoes under his feet became crisp and rapid, and they ran towards the future against the rising sun.
After Duoji and others left, the soldier captain who stayed behind shouted equally loudly: "Line up!"
"Ka" "Ka" started from a distance, and each soldier quickly ran towards them. Soon, neat rows appeared in front of Duoji and other seven family members.
"Salute!" Following the captain's order, the same etiquette appeared again, but this time it was not to people like Duoji, but to their family members.
The family members of Duoji and the other seven people were at a loss, not knowing what to do. Lin Quan, who was standing next to them, said softly: "It's okay, you are all worth it. They are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also responsible for protecting you big people." The people of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the people of the Tang Dynasty, you can turn to them for help if you have anything in the future."
People of the Tang Dynasty? All the onlookers, the former Tubo slaves, were in a daze. Were they already the common people of the Tang Dynasty? Is this the difference between Tang Dynasty and Tubo?
…
"Lu Hai, I'll leave this place to you. This area is kept secret for the time being. I've told General Li and Su Dingfang to cooperate with you. Externally, this is for researching new craftsman tools, but internally you know what to research, except for weapons. In addition to the results, I hope you can let these craftsmen sort out the ideas of the machine tools I took out, and it is best to form an assembly line machine tool operation." Li Ke was explaining things to Lu Hai, because he was about to leave for Chang'an. .
It was already early October, and it would be November by the time he returned to Chang'an. Winter had already begun in Chang'an, and it would probably snow by then.
"Yes!" Lu Hai took a deep breath and said. When His Highness left this time, he provided the craftsmen here with a set of books, a set of books on building machine tools.
These machine tools are made of different steel materials, pig iron, etc., and through clever combination of components, they can speed up the production, grinding and other work of a certain part with the same standards.
In addition, His Highness provided some weapon suggestions here, such as adding two bow arms to the current military bed crossbow of the Tang Dynasty to turn it into a three-bow bed crossbow.
Yes, some jobs are inconvenient to do in Chang'an, but there is no problem in Xizhou. At present, if Li Ke wants to keep it secret here, it shouldn't be too easy.
In the R&D area set up this time, Li Ke gathered a large number of craftsmen, and he took out concept books on manual machine tools.
Machine tools can be regarded as the starting foundation of modern industry. In later generations, machine tools were also the pain of the country, but they were overcome later. In fact, machine tools are nothing new. The original machine tools were played with as early as the Han Dynasty.
Of course it was not a machine tool at that time, but it was already the concept of a machine tool.
The book Li Ke took out is a system of modern machine tool concepts and basic manual machine tools compiled by later generations. As long as this system is understood thoroughly, these machine tools can gradually develop to higher precision.
At present, there are already two prototypes of machine tools in the industrial zone. They are mainly used to process wood and make arrow shafts.
After arranging these itineraries, Li Ke's itinerary was also decided. He will set off back to Chang'an in three days!
