What County Magistrate Zhang didn't know was that the Eight Hundred Mile Express was considered an intelligence transmission, so there was a special process within the Intelligence Department, and the key officials in each post station were all within the Intelligence Department.
The next night, about twenty-seven hours after setting off from Pu'er County, two fast horses rushed into Kunming City, which hurriedly opened the city gate. Kunming is a newly built city, and the city wall is still under construction. It is currently made of wood. City walls and city gates.
When the two fast horses rushed into Kunming City one after another, one fast horse went straight to the government office of Kunming City, while the other one rushed to a special building in Kunming City, the Datang Central Bank. branch, this building in this city is currently made entirely of reinforced concrete.
There is also a steel tower tens of meters high in its backyard.
After Li Hong was woken up, he heard that it was an emergency military situation from eight hundred miles away. He didn't even wear his own coat and hurried out of the back office in his underwear.
When he arrived at the front office, there were guards outside informing him that the director of the intelligence department was outside asking for an audience.
Although Li Hong was a little stunned, he asked someone to invite the other party in while checking the latest military situation of Eight Hundred Miles.
"Director Lin, are you here?" Li Hong asked with some confusion. It's not that the situation is not urgent, but the Eight Hundred Miles Express. Judging from the current situation, it has been divided into two. When arriving at each After the location of the state capital is located, there will be a pause, and the Yi Cheng affiliated to the state capital will quickly make a copy of the eight hundred miles, and then submit it to the highest governor of the state, the governor, for emergency treatment.
The other copy will be sent directly to Chang'an.
Although the Intelligence Department was responsible for transmitting information, Li Hong was still a little confused when the other party arrived so quickly.
"Chief Li, please implement Emergency Administrative Order No. 2. The password is 2920917." Director Lin said directly.
Li Hong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that when he took office as governor, there was a special administrative decree that he needed to know. There were three administrative orders in total, namely No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3.
Inside are plans for dealing with different situations. The three plans are sealed in different boxes, but the password to unlock the boxes is in the hands of the Intelligence Department.
Although Li Hong was stunned for a moment, he immediately moved out the three iron boxes placed inside a hidden compartment in his study. There were two code locks on the outside of the iron boxes, one with a four-digit code and another It's three.
Li Hong quickly opened it as Director Lin said just now, revealing a wooden box. The wooden box was not locked. On the top of the wooden box, Li Hong saw a familiar imperial edict-style paper.
When he opened it, there was His Majesty's familiar handwriting inside: After opening this emergency decree, no matter who you are, what they will know next is the top secret information of the Tang Dynasty. If it is leaked, you will be punished depending on the severity of the leakage, and the whole family will be executed at the least!
There is a sealed letter under the box with a verification code inside. Datang has a new communication method that can send messages across thousands of miles in an instant. You can open the sealed letter and follow the message that comes later to check. The sealed letter is in duplicate. The other copy is only available in Chang'an. Hope everyone knows!
This letter has no beginning and is more like an edict. Behind it are the signatures of His Highness King Qin and His Majesty, as well as the imperial seal, six seals carved by His Majesty, and His Highness's personal seal, etc.
In other words... this is a secret edict that has not been confirmed by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, etc.
These signatures and seals alone cannot be faked, which means that what is stated in this edict is true.
"Director Lin, do I have to wait here? How long will it take to receive the news?" Li Hong asked. He suppressed the shock in his heart, and he was thousands of miles away in an instant? What kind of method is this...?
"Yes, calculating the time, it should take a while, because His Majesty, His Highness and all the gentlemen must make a decision, and it is late at night. Before I came here, eight hundred miles of urgent news was ready to be sent to Chang'an. Director Lin said with a calm expression.
He has seen Li Hong's expression countless times. Everyone who comes into contact with radio has this expression.
Chang'an, Liangyi Palace.
Li Ke was woken up urgently by Xu Song. When he knew that the emergency was coming from Babaili, Li Ke knew that a radio was used to transmit the message.
"We have sent people to notify His Majesty, Liang Guogong, Zheng Guogong, Zhao Guogong, Hejian County Prince, Wei Guogong, Qiao Guogong, Chen Guogong, and E Guogong simultaneously," Xu Song said quickly.
"Let's go to Xuanzheng Hall." Li Ke nodded. Li Ke had already seen the message Xu Song sent.
Although Li Ke couldn't see any expression at this moment, Xu Song knew that His Highness was very angry.
When Li Ke arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall, most of the people had already arrived. These princes came on horseback. What I have to say is that because of Sun Simiao's appearance, Qiao Guogong Chai Shao, who was supposed to have died two years ago, is still alive and in good health. Li Ke is not sure what diseases he had before.
However, according to the prescription given by Sun Simiao, Chai Shao is now in good health. After all, Chai Shao is not very old. He is now in his fifties and not yet sixty.
After everyone arrived, Li Shimin said calmly: "Everyone, tell me, how should this matter be handled?"
Everyone looked around. In fact, most people were somewhat hesitant at this moment, because according to the previous Tang Dynasty, this matter could not be handled by the eight hundred miles urgently, and even the governor of the border area could handle it.
After all, the other party did not kill anyone in Datang.
But now... His Highness has re-scheduled which items are classified as 800-mile express. Since it has been sent now, it means that His Highness thinks that it should be 800-mile express.
So everyone's eyes immediately turned to Li Ke.
"Use force." Li Ke did not let others express their opinions, but spoke directly.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Li Jing hesitated and asked.
"Send troops. Let Guangzhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan deploy a total of 50,000 elite troops. At the same time, order the Nanyang Theater Navy to cooperate in launching attacks from the sea, and at the same time use troops against the Queen Kingdom and Piao Kingdom." Li Ke said calmly.
"Uh?" No one expected such a consequence.
"Is this... a big fight?" Hou Junji hesitated and asked.
"The Tang Dynasty now is no longer the Tang Dynasty before. Anyone who kills my people of the Tang Dynasty will be killed no matter how far away they are." Li Ke said calmly.
"But, these two tribes are only attached to the Queen's Kingdom and the Piao Kingdom, and the Queen's Kingdom and the Piao Kingdom are also vassals of our Tang Dynasty." Wei Zheng also hesitated and said, "And... to launch a war, our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty also want to Sacrificial."
