Chapter 128: Warring States Crystal Cup
The next day, the Qilin Palace, the early dynasty.
"Is there any news from Li Yang in the south?"
As soon as Yingzheng came to the court, he asked the inner Shi Teng of the Junzheng Temple.
"............" Stein looked confused.
It's only been a few days, calculate the time, people have just arrived in Peijun, is it okay to be in the next prime minister's area, how can there be news?
Everyone also looked at each other, and they all felt that what the emperor asked today was a bit out of line with common sense.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhong has only been on the expedition for a few days, even if they are cavalry, it will be less than two or three days to Pei County and Xia Xiang County at this time, how can there be a military intelligence report so quickly at this time." Nesten replied with a roll of his eyes.
According to common sense, if there is no progress in the war situation, or there is no change, the military situation will generally not be reported, so even if Li Yang encounters rebels as soon as he arrives at the place, and the five hundred soldiers are defeated, then the defeated military situation will have to be sent to Xianyang in five days, and if the time is calculated, it will take two or three days, right?
As for the good news......
Then don't even think about it, five hundred people went to quell the chaos, which in itself is outrageous.
Five hundred, can you go to the siege?
No!
Therefore, it is impossible to take the initiative to go to war.
After everything is obtained, another strategy to deal with the enemy is found, and a fighter plane is found. So when this battle will be fought is unknown.
Maybe more than a month, maybe a few months, maybe there is no fighter suitable for 500 people to fight at all......
So, where did the war report come from?
Ying Zheng was right to think about it, the battle report was estimated to not come so soon, so he said: "Yesterday, Fusu proposed to me to send troops to reinforce me, what do you think?" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
The emperor is really in favor of Li Yang, he has only been on the expedition for a few days, and he is anxious to inquire about the news for a while, and he intends to send troops to reinforce him for a while, which is a proper worry that something is wrong with him.
Li Si's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped out and said: "The minister agrees with this policy, the prime minister only takes five hundred people to the expedition, even if he encounters a small group of thieves, he may be in danger, and if he sends reinforcements in time at this time, it is very safe." ”
The rest of the officials of the National Development and Reform Agency also seconded the proposal in unison: "The ministers seconded it!" ”
In this court, it can be said that Li Si is the person who is most worried about Li Yang's safety.
Because the reason why the National Development and Reform Agency was able to share power in the government was to implement Li Yang's new policy. If something happens to Li Yang, is there still a need for this NDRC to exist?
Obviously, the power of the National Development and Reform Agency will be like a dream bubble, and the power of the entire government will once again be controlled by the Feng family.
As for himself, he will be completely squeezed out of the center of power, which is the ending that Li Si is most unwilling to see.
Therefore, Li Yang must ensure his safety, and his heart is solid, and now Fusu's reinforcement proposal is a turning point for safety.
At this time, Feng went and said: "Your Majesty, if you easily reinforce, I am afraid that you will not trust the Prime Minister of China, since the Prime Minister of China swore before the expedition, the minister thinks that he must be sure, why should Your Majesty be too worried." ”
Some people also nodded, agreeing with Feng Quji's opinion.
After all, for some people, it would be better for Li Yang to die in the south.
Li Si didn't know Feng Quji's heart, and immediately said: "Your Majesty sent troops to reinforce out of concern, and Prime Minister Zhong is grateful to Your Majesty in his heart, and it has nothing to do with trust." What's more, the prime minister of the DPRK cannot do without the prime minister, the new law and the new policy need him to return to the DPRK to preside, the prime minister of the DPRK is only 500 soldiers, and I don't know how much time it will take to quell the chaos, although the prime minister can wait for the fighter plane slowly, but the national government can not wait, please also ask Your Majesty to send reinforcements immediately, or transfer him back to the DPRK before the battle! ”
Ying Zheng pondered for a while, did not speak, but turned his head to look at the generals in the Junzheng Temple, and asked, "Nei Shi Teng, Zhang Han, what do you think?" ”
Nei Shi Teng said: "The minister thinks that the chances of winning with 500 people are extremely small, and the prime minister will indeed be in danger at any time, so the minister agrees to send reinforcements." ”
"The last general also agrees to send reinforcements!" Zhang Han also replied immediately.
Tens of thousands of thieves, even if you tie the feet of tens of thousands of people, let them line up, stand outside the city and let hundreds of people go over and cut down, people just fight back on the spot, and your hundreds of people are estimated to not be able to withstand casualties. What's more, other thieves will still run, and they will rush to kill, and they will not stand in place and let you cut it.
In short, in the eyes of Zhang Han and other generals, it is impossible for a few hundred people to quell the chaos.
Even the thieves know that you only have a few hundred people, and they may just eat you in one bite!
Of course, the reason why the people of their Junzheng Temple would support sending troops to reinforce was because the opportunity to make meritorious contributions had returned, so Zhang Han and they naturally agreed with both hands.
Ying Zheng nodded after hearing this, as if he had made a decision in his heart, so he said: "Then send troops to reinforce, but the infantry has been too long, and it is better to send iron cavalry." ”
Nesteng said: "General Meng Tian has 50,000 cavalry in Shangjun, and he can bring back 30,000, and he can reach Xianyang in three days, and he can go to Peijun in five days." ”
Ying Zheng nodded: "Immediately issue an edict and order Meng Tian to transfer 30,000 iron cavalry back to Xianyang, and then Zhang Han will lead the army to reinforce the army." ”
"Whoa!"
Zhang Han is overjoyed, the opportunity for his performance has finally arrived!
And Li Si and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, with Zhang Han leading 30,000 iron horsemen to help, presumably Li Yang should be worry-free.
…………
Just when the Qilin Hall was discussing the matter of sending troops to reinforce it, on the other side, Li Yang had already arranged the aftermath of Xiaxiang County, and at this time, he had already left Xiaxiang County with his men and horses, preparing to return to the court......
For Li Yang, this battle was too easy to win, and it seems that it is cool enough to fight the Huns and Rome in the future.
Otherwise, Han Shin's war potential would not have been brought into play......
Moreover, Li Yang also wanted to see the kind of shocking war scene where millions of black flags and black armor formed a super phalanx, shouting "strong wind, strong wind", and then crossbow arrows covering the sky and shooting at the enemy.
It seems that it is necessary to develop the domestic military industry and the shipbuilding industry as soon as possible......
After thinking about it, Li Yang felt that there was a long way to go, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
A post station in Dongyang County.
"Prime Minister, this is a gift from the lower officials!"
Li Yang was not in a hurry to return to the court, and he would rest every time he arrived at a post station, and at the same time let the people of the post station feed the horses.
Just when Li Yang was about to leave the post station in Dongyang County, Wang Youxian specially sent a gift.
It's a wooden box, it's lacquered, it's beautiful, and I don't know what kind of gift it will contain.
Li Yang said with a smile: "I didn't expect Wang Junshou to be so attentive, if there were gold, silver and jewelry in this box, he wouldn't accept it." ”
Wang Youxian said with a smile: "The lower officials know that the prime minister is not a layman, and he will not like such gold and silver vulgar things." There are two crystal cups in this box, and the lower official knows that Xianyang does not have this thing, so he found two and gave them to the prime minister. ”
"Crystal cup?"
When Li Yang heard this, he was immediately stunned.
Because he had seen a Warring States crystal cup in the Hangzhou Museum before, it was a national treasure among national treasures, a peerless treasure. It is included in the list of cultural relics prohibited from leaving the country for exhibition by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and is listed alongside peerless treasures such as the stepmother Wu Dafang Ding, the bell of Zeng Hou Yi, and the bronze chariot and horse of Qin Shi Huang.
It is also said that its rarity lies in the fact that it is polished from a single piece of crystal, and even when one wants to reproduce it with modern technology, it is found that it is simply not possible.
In a word, in the world where Li Yang came, the Warring States Crystal Cup is a peerless treasure.
This time, Li Yang was excited, quickly took the box, opened it, and sure enough, he saw a pair of crystal cups quietly placed in the box.
Carefully take out the crystal cup, only to see that this pair of crystal cups is about ten centimeters high, open flat lips, the wall of the cup is oblique and straight in the shape of a trumpet, and the circle foot is outwardly skimmed, which resembles a modern glass. The whole body of the cup is transparent and undecorated, the whole vessel is slightly light amber, the surface of the vessel is polished, and there are sponge-like natural crystals in the middle and bottom of the vessel.
Seeing such a beautiful and delicate crystal cup, Li Yang couldn't believe that this would be a product of this era.
At that moment, he asked, "Where did you find this thing?" ”
"The crystal industry has been very prosperous in the land of Chuqi, this is the crystal craftsman of Dongyang County, I heard that it is made for the prime minister, the craftsman used the best crystal, and it took three months to create this pair of superb crystal cups." Wang Youxian said proudly.
The land of Chuqi is the area of Dongyang County and Pei County now.
Thinking that there is already such a mature crystal industry in the territory of Qin, wouldn't it be possible to engage in crystal lenses, make crystal telescopes, crystal myopia mirrors, crystal microscopes, and crystal astronomical telescopes?
Medicine, astronomy, and biology will all benefit.
Thinking of this, Li Yang hurriedly said to Wang Youxian: "The crystal industry is very important, you must give support, strengthen the development of the crystal industry, and it will be of great use in the future." ”
"Whoa!" Wang Youxian hurriedly nodded.
"By the way, is there a gypsum mine here?" Li Yang asked suddenly.
"Yes, the prime minister?" Wang Youxian asked.
Li Yang nodded: "Take some over." ”
"Whoa!" Wang Youxian immediately sent someone to get the plaster.
For Li Yang, gypsum is a good thing, because he wants to go back to Xianyang to invent tofu.
After Wang Youxian left, Li Yang took the crystal cup, he couldn't put it down, so he quickly took it and drank a glass of water and pretended to be a force.
Maybe the people of later generations will say, this is the same cup I use.
Indeed, the shape may be the same, but the material is certainly different, you use glass, and this phase uses crystal; And the time is not the same, you may have been produced back then, but this cup is a national treasure made more than 2,000 years ago.
Moreover, even in the era of Qin, Wang Youxian said that this pair of cups is the best crystal cup. It can be seen that this pair of crystal cups represents the top level in terms of the purity of the crystal material and the craftsmanship, which is extremely extraordinary.
