Chapter 24: Departure and the Mid-Autumn Festival
Returning to his heart like an arrow, in ten days, Xin Xi returned to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.
August 12.
Bianjing.
In King Pu's Mansion, Xin Xi's face was full of irrepressible excitement, and he listened to Master Xuyi's answer in the hall.
"The potion made by Tianshan Snow Lotus has clearly opened up the middle vein of His Royal Highness the County Lord, as long as he is healthy and recuperated for three months, he will be able to completely recover his vitality and live like an ordinary person!"
As for the question of how long he can live, Master Xuyi is not sure, after all, even if he is really a person who can live forever, isn't it possible that he will be deliberately slaughtered by others?!
"Thank you, Master!" Xin Zhen bowed respectfully.
"So, when will General Xin go to Tianzhu? The matter of rebuilding the Western Regions Protectorate ......" Master Xuyi opened his mouth a little embarrassed, mainly because this kind of talk is really difficult to ask, and there is always a feeling of forcing people to repay debts, and Xuyi doesn't like this feeling very much, because it will make him feel a little guilty inexplicably and damage the Buddha's heart.
Xin Zhen smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Western Regions Protectorate is now gone, and in the past, the territory of the Western Regions Protectorate has been occupied by five countries, so the form is too severe, so you must plan slowly." ”
Seeing that Xuyi's face had changed slightly, Xin Yi hurriedly spoke: "Of course, if you rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate, you must want to start from Tianzhu and help Buddhism stabilize the form first, and then Xin will continue to the west." ”
"That'...... In this case, Lao Gao wants to go back to Tianzhu first, after all, the hardships of Tianzhu form, and there is still a daily crisis, Lao Gao stays in this prosperous Tokyo, it is really difficult to feel at ease! There was a slight anxiety on Master Xuyi's face.
"Well, it's okay, if Master Xuyi doesn't want to go back first!" Xin Xi said indifferently, after all, in order to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate, he had too many things to do.
From the economy and military to the people's livelihood and politics, all aspects of the preparatory work must be done thoroughly, otherwise, there will be no way to promote the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate.
Moreover, Xin Xi's first plan was not to establish any Western Regions Protectorate, but to defeat Dali, and then, all of them were bordered by Dali and Tianzhu, and when the time came, he could directly send troops from Dali to Tianzhu.
After all, if you go from Tibet, the team is still feasible, if a large number of troops, whether you are sincere or not, just want to take the road, probably the Tubo people will directly copy the guy and fight with you first.
If the Great Song Dynasty can calmly fight with Tubo, and choose a non-plateau area, it may not be impossible to destroy Tubo, but the problem is that once it fights with Tubo, once the war lasts for more than ten days, Western Xia and Liao will be able to get the news, and at that time, the Great Song Dynasty will be full of wolves.
After all, Dali's army is said to have 100,000, but in fact, according to the intelligence updated by the Shadow Guard Army every year, the army that Dali can dispatch is only about 50,000.
The whole country, only 50,000!
If it weren't for the defense of the mountainous terrain and the existence of miasma in the forest, the cost of beating down was too great, and in the eyes of the Song people at that time, the land in Dali was simply a place where birds didn't, and it would be a loss to fight down, and Taizu Zhao Kuangyin should have beaten Dali down.
Is it a loss?
The area of Dali, not to mention the importance of the Northern Song Dynasty to rebuild the capital of the Western Regions at this time, is the Yunnan of later generations, and it is the famous plant kingdom...... Well, in addition to this, Xin Xi can't think of the specific value of Dali for the time being.
It doesn't matter if it's valuable or not, it has to be beaten down anyway!
And in order to fight Dali, Xin Xi must also raise military funds, so that there will be a bunch of troubles, and Xin Xi will definitely not be able to stay in Bianjing often, so it is better to let Master Xuyi go back to Tianzhu if he is cool in Tokyo.
But Xin Xi said so indifferently, and even after acting like he was eager to let Xuyi get out of the way, he was empty.
This guy, shouldn't he be going to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate after driving him back to Tianzhu?!
After all, during these days, Master Xuyi also came into contact with many people in Bianjing, and whenever he talked to others about rebuilding the Western Regions Protectorate, although the other party would also be full of excitement, but in the end, the other party still told him that it was impossible, this was not just arbitrary impossibility, but from all aspects of politics, economy, culture and other aspects to demonstrate why it was impossible!
"No, Lao Ge thinks that no matter how much the form of Tianzhu changes, it is impossible for it to change anything big in just one year, so Lao Ge still won't go back!" Master Xuyi immediately spoke, rejecting his previous decision.
Xin Xi was slightly stunned: "...... Master, it's good if you're happy! ”
Old ...... I'm not happy!
Xuyi sighed in his heart, and continued: "Next, can General Xin allow Lao Wei to follow the general all the time?!" ”
The corners of Xin Zhen's mouth twitched, and he said that why does this old monk want to go back for a while, and not go back for a while, his feelings are worried about being released by himself? !
"It's good! Master Xuyi is a miracle doctor and a master of the Three Realms, and Master Xuyi is willing to stay, so Xin Zhen is naturally welcome! Xin Xi responded indifferently, anyway, he didn't plan to break the appointment, after all, Xin Qi had already begun to prepare on the side of Khotan, and in the other four Western Regions countries, Thirty-six was also forming a new Shadow Guard, plus the help of the Roman Empire that might be received in the future.
The establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate is imperative!
Moreover, this time, the Western Regions Protectorate will not leave a Tubo in the middle like the Tang Dynasty, but will completely include Tubo in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!
After all, Xin Xi traveled from the afterlife, and every time he saw that the map of the Great Song Dynasty was not a chicken, he felt uncomfortable in his heart!
got Xin Xi's promise, and Xuyi also settled down a little, and then he followed Xin Xi almost all the time.
The door of the inner room slowly opened, and Sima Yun in a light white skirt appeared in front of Xin Xi.
"Eleven Lang, my illness is cured...... Sima Yun's voice trembled a little.
"Yes!"
"I can accompany you until you are old."
"Yes!" Xin Zhen nodded, stepped forward, grabbed Sima Yun's hand, and laughed slowly.
…………
On August 13, at the court meeting, Xin Xi was once again appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Western Military Power, and immediately went to Xining Prefecture to preside over the war affairs.
The disharmony between the two palaces is already extremely serious, if it weren't for Xin Xi, who can be regarded as the Empress Dowager Cao, I am afraid that this appointment will not be so smooth.
Therefore, in order to adjust the problem of disharmony between the two palaces, Ouyang Xiu and others privately played the emperor and asked to transfer Han Qi back.
At noon, Xin Xi, Xin Yi and the old monk Xuyi were standing outside the city gate.
Sima Yun was a little complaining: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, why don't you wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival to pass?" ”
Xin Zhen pinched Sima Yun's cheek with some distress, and explained softly: "The Great Song Dynasty is prosperous on the surface, but there are already too many problems inside, Wang Anshi's set of strategies, I and your father do not agree, once the law is changed, the resistance is too great, so I can only find a way to transfer the contradictions outward, so it is imperative to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate, so I must go to the Western Army, and quickly." ”
Sima Yun shook his head: "Can you not be so reckless, the Manchu Dynasty is both civil and military, why do you have to do it alone?!" You accompany me through this Mid-Autumn Festival, and you can go again! ”
There was hesitation in Xin Xi's eyes, but in the end he shook his head: "The war between Tubo and Western Xia may end at some point, once their war is over, all ideas will be stillborn." I...... Gotta go. ”
"Can't you go for someone else?!" Sima Yun still didn't give up.
"No, you can't!" Xin Xi shook his head, this war wealth is too critical, even if Xin Xi tells others everything before and after according to the steps, and then lets others implement it step by step, he is not at ease.
Because, once there is the slightest mistake in the implementation process, it will be all gone, and the plan to attack Dali will have to be pushed back for at least five years.
But five years, five years later, it is the Divine Sect, will the Divine Sect still insist on attacking Dali? Shenzong really won't be moved by Wang Anshi's words, and then continue that doomed reform?!
Then everything will come to an end!
For men, it is indeed the most important thing to have a woman who is enough to care for a lifetime and accompany her for a lifetime.
But at the same time, men also have to take on certain responsibilities!
"I have to go!" Xin Xi chuckled, trying to calm the atmosphere down a bit.
Sima Yun shook his head: "Wait! ”
Xin Zhen turned around.
The next moment, Sima Yun threw himself into Xin Xi's arms, and his fine white teeth bit Xin Zhen's neck fiercely.
After a long time, Sima Yun let go of his mouth and took a step back: "You are mine!" ”
Saying that, Sima Yun glared at Xin Yi from afar, she hadn't been able to feel some of Xin Yi's thoughts in the past few days, so she had to declare her sovereignty so thoroughly!
Xin Xi felt a little funny, and touched the tooth marks on his neck: "Wasn't it yours a long time ago?" ”
"That's different!" Sima Yun spoke indifferently, and then, holding back the reluctance in his heart, said, "Let's go!" ”
"Huh?"
"If you don't leave, kill me in a while, and I won't let you go!" Sima Yun stubbornly raised his head.
"Well, then I'm leaving!" Xin Zhen nodded and turned around.
Sima Yun watched the carriage go away, slowly, tears flowed, is it actually that she is useless? !
If she also has Sima Yun's skills and martial arts, then can't she follow with a dead face?!
But ah, not everyone can have that kind of martial arts!
Shaking his head slightly, Sima Yun dispelled the idea of learning martial arts, but at the same time, his heart to make himself better slowly burned.
Because, if you want to be loved by others, at least, you should be worthy of the love of others, only two people who are very good can really go through a life of happiness.
The Mid-Autumn Festival in Bianjing, without Xin Xi Shiyi Lang, there is still no shortage of excitement, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Imperial Garden, Su Zizhan is poetic, and a water tune song is the first - when will the bright moon be born in advance!
This time, when is this bright moon, it is no longer like in history to feel his younger brother Su Che, but to feel the Xin Xi who went to the Western Army, the word ended, Su Zizhan raised his head and drank.
Sima Yun Guzheng played a song that Xin Xi once sang in Mowenlou - I thought about it all my life, and with feelings in it, this song also became extraordinarily moving.
When the Wenhui ended, Shen Kuo stood up from a group of people, originally, he was not qualified to come to the Wenhui in this palace without Zhongjinshi, but with the relationship between Xin Zhen and the existence of that thing, he attended!
"This is what I was inspired by Eleven Lang when I was in Gewu Elementary School - the telescope!" Holding a bamboo tube that was nearly two meters long and the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, Shen Kuo opened his mouth excitedly.
This length is the best telescope he can make so far, and the lens is made of glass.
"Telescopes?!" Zhao Shu was slightly stunned, and his face was also full of curiosity: "Could this be the clairvoyance that Xin Shiyi talked about with me before?!" ”
"Exactly! It can be said that he is clairvoyant, and Eleven Lang also said that if he can improve the lens again, that is, the focal length of the glass, he can even see the scene on the moon directly! Shen Kuo swore to speak.
This telescope can be said to be the most satisfying work for him since he engaged in the study of things!
"Oh, and being able to see the surface of the moon directly (the ancient moon was not called the moon, but it feels discordant without the moon.) )? Empress Dowager Cao was also interested: "Can you see Chang'e?!" ”
This......
Shen Kuo hesitated a little: "Eleven Lang said that there is no Chang'e ......"
"Nonsense, it must be Xin Shiyi who can't see it, show it to the old body!" Empress Dowager Cao spoke.
Shen Kuo hesitated slightly, and looked at Zhao Shu, it stands to reason that the emperor should be the first to see it, but the Queen Mother has been very strong recently!
"Show it to the Queen Mother first, finally take care of the elderly!" Zhao Shu's face was full of unhappiness, and he strengthened his tone on the old words.
Empress Dowager Cao didn't bother to take care of it, but Shen Kuo handed over the telescope, and ordered the two forbidden soldiers to set up the telescope according to Shen Kuo's guidance, UU read the book .net Then, Empress Dowager Cao put her eyes under the telescope.
"Ahh How is it all potholes?! Empress Dowager Cao exclaimed, quickly retreated, and looked up at the sky again.
"What the old man sees is potholes!" Empress Dowager Cao was unhappy, feeling that she had been deceived, and what she saw was not the moon at all.
Shen Kuo hurriedly explained: "The moon is originally pitted, this is what Eleven Lang said!" ”
"Really?!"
On the side, Zhao Shu couldn't wait to look over, sure enough, it was pitted, but the same bright light proved that the big disc with potholes was the moon!
"It's amazing!" Zhao Shu sighed: "If it is used in the army, wouldn't it be possible to gain insight into the enemy's movements thousands of miles away?!" ”
With Zhao Shu's words, the dignitaries and dignitaries present rushed to experience the magical feeling brought by the telescope.
The Mid-Autumn Festival ended successfully, and even though Xin Shiyi was no longer in Bianjing, he still made countless dignitaries remember him!
