Chapter 164 What a beautiful view
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Du Ruhui looked at Li Shimin and was obsessed, and did not stubbornly want to change Li Shimin's mind.
Wei Zheng is just an alternative, and Du Ruhui will never become Wei Zheng.
Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui and said seriously: "I have heard the myths and legends of Fusang, such as the Yin Fubu tribe's "Yinfu Heavenly Kingdom", such as the Maimpa tribe's "Undefeated God of War", I have heard a lot of legends like this, not only Yin Fubu people!" ”
Du Ruhui was a little crying and laughing, although they said that they Fusang Datang propaganda to the outside world, these Aztecs were the remnants of Yin Shang, and they had a common ancestor with the Tang people of Fusang Datang.
However, in fact this is only out of political necessity. Maybe there is something in common between this race, but it's just a coincidence. The concept of the wheel appeared in Chinese civilization as early as the Xia Dynasty, and in the Shang Dynasty, the wheel had become the hollow shape of later generations, rather than solid wood.
However, in the entire Fusang Continent, not only can there be no vehicles in sight, the traffic is basically on running, and the weapons and equipment have nothing in common. In particular, military weaving, the military weaving of China, has been out of the Shiwu system as early as the Xia and Shang periods.
According to the record of "the right, center and left of the three divisions of Wang Zuo" recorded in the Wuyi period, the army of the Shang Dynasty was divided into three divisions, and the establishment below the division was a brigade, and the three brigades were a division.
One brigade and three major lines approached 1,000 people.
From the archaeological point of view, the spear is a bundle of ten, that is, ten people are a spear squad. This is inherited from the establishment of five people and ten people in later generations.
Even in the Song and Ming dynasties, the army was still in this way, and everything changed from its roots. It's just a different name. On the Aztec Empire's side, however, it was a decimal system, in which a combat detachment consisting of four to six squads with a minimum unit of twenty men was used to carry out tasks such as reconnaissance and surprise attacks.
The larger Aztec forces were composed of 200, 400, and 8,000 men. In addition to weaving, the equipment is also a significant gap.
The armies of the Chinese dynasties, although the level of science and technology is high and low, and the equipment is also of different names, but basically never form an independent army of any weapon alone, even if the Modao army is also a multi-arm joint army formation composed of light cavalry, crossbowmen, shields, and baggage soldiers.
This is true, but Li Shimin turned a blind eye.
He stubbornly said: "The most credible thing in this world is coincidence, through the myths and legends of these tribes, we can know that they are not the aborigines of the Fusang Continent, but have a distant place, and this migration route continues for a full number of Jiazi." We thought they must have migrated from a road we didn't know about. ”
Du Ruyan was dumbfounded, feeling that his brain was not enough.
"This ...... Does that make sense? Your Majesty, isn't this ridiculous? Let's not say whether they are the remnants of Yin Shang, even if they are, they are at least ancient ancestors more than 1,600 years ago, he can organize an army to compete with the Zhou Dynasty, this is credible, after all, he has such an ability, but you said that after the defeat of the war, he led a part of the people to leave the Central Plains and ran to the Fusang Continent Star tens of thousands of miles away...... Isn't that a joke? You know, until now, we still don't have the ability to send 250,000 people to the Central Plains at one time! ”
Li Shimin smiled: "Incredible? ”
Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Yes, it's incredible, it's unimaginable!" ”
Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui and said solemnly: "Then you should have read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", right?" Combined with our topography in the Fuso Continent, do you still think this is an absurd Zhiwei? ”
Du Ruhui was silent, originally he thought that "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was a bizarre legend, at least when he didn't come to Fusang, he firmly believed it.
However, in the Fusang continent, which is recorded in the "Dongshan Sutra", the foundation is consistent, and most of the plants and animals can be found.
Li Shimin said: "If the legend can't prove anything, but what about the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", is it all fake? At least more than a thousand years ago, there must have been people who came to the Fusang Continent, and more than a thousand years ago, it was absolutely impossible to cross the sea, because the ocean-going ability was completely insufficient! ”
In fact, Li Shimin was lucky not to see the Indian epic, otherwise he would have been stunned.
"It breathes fire, but it's smokeless and powerful. In an instant, gale blew, clouds and mist churned, and the sun seemed to shake in the sky. Leave a lot of dust and sand behind.
"The earth was scorched and trembled, the elephants were scorched by the heat, the other animals fell to the ground and died, the flames rolled, the trees fell in rows as if in the face of forest fires, the dense tongues of fire continued to fall from all directions like a heavy shower, and thousands of chariots were destroyed."
"The bodies of the dead were burned to pieces by the terrible heat, like charred tree trunks. Never before have we seen such a terrible weapon. ”
"The Gurkha flew swiftly in his "Vimana" (a flying machine) and threw a projectile full of cosmic power at the three cities of the Virishni and Andalgard, and a wisp of white smoke rose from the ground, shining as brightly as ten thousand suns. Known as the Iron Thunderbolt, this secret weapon reduced all enemies to ashes, burned corpses to the point of unrecognizable, hair and nails fell off, and food was poisoned. Warriors jumped into the stream to wash themselves and their equipment. ”
"The sky is full of strange lights, and there is the power of the Holy Spirit; Only a thousand suns can compete with it...... I am the Grim Reaper, the destroyer of the world. ”
A thousand years ago, people would have thought it was absurd when they saw this account, because there would never have been such a weapon in the world, and a hundred years ago, people would not have believed it, but now? Doesn't it feel a little familiar?
Of course, Li Shimin's focus is to collect these myths and legends.
As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts. In Li Shimin's search, he finally found a very key word in the myth - Tianqiao.
A bold and crazy hypothesis slowly formed in Li Shimin's head.
In ancient times, some people came to Fuso from the Central Plains along the mainland.
In order to test this hypothesis, Li Shimin ordered Mingwei General Cheng Chuhei and Ningyuan General Lei Yongxiang to lead a Zhichong Mansion, with more than 1,500 people, along the Northwest Road, to explore and advance to the Central Plains.
……
Just when Li Shimin was exploring the so-called "flyover", Liaodong, which was originally silent, suddenly became a volcanic crater.
With the withdrawal of Goguryeo's elite troops, Li Shiji, the general of Tang Andong, finally began to move.
On the vast Liaodong prairie, in the endless frozen world, in the coniferous forest, in the vast snowfield, the earth shook, and groups of Tang cavalry wearing white cloaks began to march towards the target.
Without hesitation, the Tang army crossed the Line of Actual Control and began to infiltrate Goguryeo.
The town guard of Anshi, Yang Wanchun, the mattress of northern Goguryeo, stood at the head of the city, looked at the northwest direction, and couldn't help but gasp.
In front of a military fortress about 500 steps northwest of Anshi City, dense Tang cavalry appeared, and these Tang cavalry soldiers held something similar to a meteor hammer in their hands, shaking it in their hands.
With an order, tens of thousands of meteor hammers flew towards this small military village.
Meteor hammers smashed into the walls of the military wall, or fell into the military wall, making a crackling sound.
After only a dozen breaths, these Tang cavalry officers and soldiers drew their bows and shot arrows, and dense rockets flew towards the military village like meteors.
When the rocket comes into contact with the oil of fire, it instantly ignites a skyrocketing fire.
And the Goguryeo soldiers in the military village let out a terrible scream.
Looking at the military stockade caught in the sea of fire, Li Shiji, who was riding on horseback, couldn't help but admire: "What a beautiful scenery! ”
If there is a satellite map at this time, you will definitely find a scene similar to this military village, and there are many more.
On the first day of the Tang army's advance in the direction of Goguryeo, more than a hundred military villages were destroyed by the Tang army officers and soldiers in this barbaric way.
Li Shiji's method was very direct, he didn't move the strong city at all, but the persimmon picked up the soft pinch.
At this time, Yang Wanchun's head in Angao City was as big as a fight, and there were urgent reports for help everywhere, and bad news everywhere.
Yang Wanchun commanded more than 40,000 elite troops, but he did not dare to move.
Li Shiji made it clear that he wanted to surround the point and send reinforcements, and he would definitely be sent to death if he went out of the city.
However, instead of sending them to death, they sat back and watched the military villages one by one being conquered and ruthlessly destroyed by the Tang army, and the morale of the Goguryeo army quickly fell to the freezing point.
