Chapter 20: I would like to return to the Han and Tang Dynasties

Today's Chang'an City is worthy of being the world's first-class metropolis at that time, Li Qing sat in a carriage for half a day to hope to see the gate of Chang'an, the peak of Chang'an City covers an area of twice Luoyang, is 2.4 times that of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, 1.4 times that of Beijing City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is more than seven times the capital of the Byzantine Empire that dominated Europe in the same period.

However, who can know that a tragedy is about to happen under the cover of grand prosperity, the prosperity must decline, and the truth that things must be reversed even if the Tang Empire is at its peak, although it is only two days, but Li Qing knows that the current Tang Dynasty has long since lost the political clarity of the Kaiyuan period, the emperor is addicted to pleasure, the aristocracy is arrogant, and the partisan dispute in the court is intensifying, all of which shows that today's prosperous Tang Dynasty is embarking on the road of self-destruction!

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road" is not a rumor, but a fact, but it was deliberately covered up by the official!

Since he came to the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely not let this tragedy happen, not for anything else, just to save this dynasty that countless Chinese sons and daughters were once proud of, and the Chinese of later generations, no matter where they are, as long as they carry the blood of Yan and Huang, they are all proud of the Tang Dynasty and proud of their ancestors who once dominated the world!

However, all of this disappeared after the rebellion of An Lushan, a thief who stole the country! The Tang Empire, which once dominated the world at its peak, then collapsed, and it was difficult to recover its former majesty, although there was a brief rise during the period, but then it was covered by the torrent of history, since then, the sons and daughters of China have been in a slump, and even more, in the end, they have to take turns with ethnic minorities to sit in a ridiculous situation, and the Han nationality, which is large and economically rich, is empty to make wedding dresses for others!

After the Tang Dynasty, there was no strong man, although the economy of the Song Dynasty can be called the world's best, but due to the ruler's idea of "emphasizing literature over force", it directly led to the Song Dynasty's armed forces and their own economic strength is very mismatched, repeatedly retreating, repeatedly bowing down to the vassals, completely without the original "I am a strong man, although far away will be punished" of the iron-blooded domineering!

Although the establishment of the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent to restore the last majesty of the Han people, but as the last Han dynasty, the fate of the Ming Dynasty was very miserable, there are Manchurian and Mongolian border passes, and there are rebels wandering around... ”

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the Chinese sons and daughters of later generations will always have nostalgia and nostalgia for the Tang Dynasty, and the same is true for Li Qing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since God has given him such an opportunity, Li Qing will definitely work hard to change, even if he fails, Li Qing has no regrets!

I would like to return to the Tang Dynasty and cast me the glory of China!

In his previous life, the Tang Dynasty was a dream haunting Li Qing's heart, a dream that never stopped day and night!

At this moment, Li Qing went to Yizhou, so he came out of the west gate of Chang'an, Chang'an City is a rectangular building, slightly narrower from north to south, and slightly longer from east to west, which is probably the real reason why King Shou and his party spent a long time.

Looking back, the prosperity of Chang'an City, Li Qing was shocked here, the shops are lined up one after another, the hawkers' voices are endless, the caravans are endless, and foreign people in Fanbang are very common! A peek at the leopard in the tube, a corner of the Chang'an City Gate reflects the broad mind of the entire Tang Dynasty, which is a phenomenon of national integration!

Li Qing is okay, for today's Chang'an is more admiration, but there is no nostalgia, military career, fighting on the battlefield is the destination of men, comfort makes people backward, the Tang Dynasty, which has been comfortable for more than a hundred years, has a huge crisis lurking that no one has discovered.

Look at the city tower in front of you through the curtain, tall and magnificent, like a copper wall and iron wall, the whole city wall is also very tall and thick, 12 meters high, 18 meters wide at the bottom, the fortifications and their perfection, there is a city tower in the east and west, north and south, there are corner towers at the four corners, the arrow tower is densely distributed on the city wall, so the defense plus the strong soldiers will guard the city gate, although it is not impregnable, but it must be a man who is not open, if the enemy wants to successfully conquer Chang'an City, it is impossible not to pay the price of blood.

Looking ahead, the three city gates stand next to each other, about three zhang high, about four zhang wide, each gate is separated by three zhang, the people who come and go are endless, the guards guarding the city gates, but they no longer have the same sharpness as they used to see the guards, not to mention the elite Yulin Army of the Tang Dynasty, even the eight ordinary guards with knives who followed behind King Sheng were much stronger than them.

At this moment, the guards are all arrogant and arrogant, seeing the officials and nobles passing by, a posture of bowing their eyebrows and bending their waists, respectful, and for ordinary people, they are completely ignoring and ignoring them, and even beating the people on the spot, it is completely a look of the emperor's boss and my second child, I don't know, I still think which prince made a mistake and was punished to guard the city gate?

And all the people who were reprimanded were angry and did not dare to speak, succumbing to the obscenity of the guards at the city gates, apologizing again and again when it was not their own fault, and whenever the vanity of the guards was satisfied, they no longer embarrassed the people.

Although Li Qing disdained the guards to do this, he didn't have the idea of coming out, but he was just sad that Datang had such a guard, no wonder, after An Lushan easily captured Chang'an City, with such a land hooligan as a guard, against An Lushan's perennial war tempered by a hundred battles, if it is undefeated, then it is strange?

Today's Datang army has long been sick to the bone marrow, the government military system exists in name only, all the armies in the world are in the hands of the major sections, looking at the interior of the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing more than the power of the first battle is nothing more than Longwu and Yulin four armies, adding up to only 40,000 people, looking at the ten major festivals of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers under that general are by no means more than this number, and they are all real warlike divisions.

Although the emperor is still respected, in the territory, it is completely a local emperor who integrates military power, recruits troops without authorization, risks military fees, secretly trains his elite, and lies about the number of troops, which has long been a secret that can only be understood and unspeakable among the envoys of the major festivals!

The only thing Li Qing can do is to master the Jiannan Dao as quickly as possible, become a veritable Jiannan Dao Jiedu envoy, and train an elite division for the Tang Dynasty that can compete with An Lushan, the process may be extremely difficult, but Li Qing will not slack off in the slightest.

Only in this way will Datang have a glimmer of life and create another glory of the past!
