PS: Anti-theft chapter, to be modified later
"Captain Luo, when will Governor Li send reinforcements to save Xiao Wang? Without reinforcements, I'm afraid the city will be destroyed. The city broke Xiao Wang's net worth and life......"
King Luo Yue panicked and found the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Pahang, Ganga Kingdom and Malay tribes who were commanding the Luo Yue army to defend against the invading tribes, and asked anxiously.
I really can't help but be in a hurry, Luo Yueguo has only 2,000 soldiers who can fight, and following Li Wenchang's order, all the men who have reached the age of 14 in the country will be conscripted as soldiers to guard the capital, which is only worth more than 3,000 people.
The capital of Luo Yue is just a city wall with mounds of earth that is no more than seven feet high, and some wooden fences are inserted, and the defense is so weak that the enemy can rush to the city wall in a quick step, grab the wooden fence and kill the defenders.
So far, the more than 3,000 Luo Yue troops have already suffered more than 1,600 dead and wounded, and as Captain Luo, who was sent by Li Wenchang to take charge of commanding the Luo Yue army, he has now sent people to the city to arrest young and strong women to defend the city.
"What are you afraid of, isn't this broken yet?"
Captain Luo snorted dissatisfiedly, and glanced at the black, short and ugly King Luo Yue, who was about to cry: "Don't look at the heavy casualties of our army, the enemy army outside the city is even more dead and wounded, and the casualties are probably two thousand." If the enemy attacks two more times, it will be unable to attack the city, and the morale of the army will inevitably be low, and then it will be a good opportunity for our army to go out of the city and break the enemy army. ”
"Captain Luo, there are thousands of wounded tired soldiers left in the city, and they still go out of the city to take the initiative to attack? This ......"
King Luo Yue's heart is dripping with blood, these more than 1,000 people think that he is the basis for the establishment of the country, and he is not allowed to let Captain Luo fight it, won't he, the king, become the commander of the light pole?
Seeing that the fierce Tang soldiers beside Captain Luo were staring at him, King Luo Yue beat a drum in his heart, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed back into his stomach alive.
When the fierce battle was in full swing just now, the enemy attacked fiercely, and the defenders of Luo Yue were afraid of the enemy, and many people took the opportunity to flee. King Luo Yue saw with his own eyes that the deserters were brought by Captain Luo to supervise the battle, and the 100 Tang soldiers were killed with their swords, and they killed 180 of them, so frightened that Luo Yuejun hurriedly returned to his post to defend against the enemy.
……
The battle situation on the island of Singapore was not optimistic compared to that of Luo Yue, and Li Wenchang led his army to defeat the combined forces of Mora You and Sri Buddha, who landed from other directions on the island three times, and killed more than 3,000 people. However, due to the lack of a strong naval division, even if the coalition army was defeated several times, its vitality was not seriously damaged.
The combined forces of Mora You and Sri Buddha were unable to defeat the Tang army in land battles, and the island of Singapore could not stand on the island, so they occupied the islands of Sentosa and Beni 2 on the south shore of Yee Fung Harbor, which had no troops to defend, as the place where the army settled down, and adopted a long-term siege strategy against the Tang army. Ordered the Aurang Lauts to drive sampan boats to block off the entire coast of Singapore, so that not a single Tang army on the island could escape.
He vowed to trap the Tang army on the island of Singapore, and then sent a small force of armed forces to sneak up on the island to destroy the crops planted by the Tang army in the cultivated land on the island, and cut off the roots.
After a long time, after the Tang army's food stock was exhausted, it was bound to starve to death on the island.
What the coalition forces did not expect was that the Tang army's grain stock on the island plus the newly harvested grain was enough to meet the needs of the military and civilians for a year, and half a year later, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate would send the South China Sea Fleet to escort new migrant ships to Singapore Island.
Li Wenchang was not afraid of the siege of the coalition forces at all, and ordered all armies to guard the city and cultivate the land and strictly prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, depending on who could not hold on first.
The coalition forces besieged the island of Singapore for two months, and the Tang army on the island was not in danger of running out of food, and the daily consumption of grain and grass by the coalition army of nearly 40,000 people was an astonishing number. It was undoubtedly a huge drain on the death of Mora and Sri Buddha, whose productive forces were already underdeveloped, and the damage to national strength was increasing with the length of the siege.
During this period, the combined forces of Pahang, Ganga and the Malay tribes besieged the capital of Luo Viet and suffered heavy losses, but they delayed the attack and intended to retreat. When the kings of Mora Yo and Sri Buddha heard the good news, they hurriedly gave them food and support, and let them continue to send warriors from the country to fight. In order to persuade the Pahang, Ganga kingdoms and the Malay tribes, they made a heavy promise that as long as the coalition forces captured the island of Singapore, half of the captured Tang army's armor and weapons would be given to them.

"Your Royal Highness, after nearly two months of building a winery to be basically completed, covering an area of 10 acres, it is expected to produce 10,000 ......catties of wine in a month," Li Yu visited this winery built 40 miles south of Chang'an City, close to the north foot of the Qinling Mountains, Zhongnan Mountain, north and south of Wutai Mountain. Liu Tao, the steward of the palace winery, introduced Li Yu on the side.
The reason why it was chosen so far away from Chang'an and not in the Wangfu Manor in the east of Chang'an City was to consider that good water is needed to make good wine. However, the water source outside Chang'an City is somewhat polluted by the domestic sewage of the villages along the river and the sediment carried by the river water flowing from the mountains in the plains, and the taste of the wine brewed cannot be compared with the wine brewed from the clear mountain stream water flowing from the Qinling Mountains.
Li Yu stood on the edge of the fermentation tank, and the winemaker with rich winemaking experience sent to the winery from the palace was directing the servants to pound the grain into the fermentation tank and put the koji in and stir it, so that the grain could more fully contact with the koji.
Although the Tang Dynasty was a feudal society, and thousands of years passed since the slave society of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the remnants of slavery are still retained. Slaves were voluntarily sold into slavery by foreign captives captured during wars and by poor people who were unable to survive due to natural disasters.
Except for a few of the slaves working in the winery, most of them were bought from the slave market, and they were all honest and loyal.
After looking at the fermentation tank, Li Yu and his party turned to the storage room where the wine storage tanks were stored, and the room was filled with ceramic tanks of the same size, which needed to be stored after the liquor was brewed. There is a square word on the ceramic vats, but there is no wine in these large vats now.
Next to the storage room is the filter room, and the sake must be filtered before it can be sold, otherwise there will be a lot of lees. The sake is strained through a wooden wine bed, trough bed, or bamboo gauze.
Leaving the storage room is the most important thing in this distillery, and it is also the distillery that Li Yu's liquor can sell well in the secret important place of Chang'an City without competition.
Liquor distillation equipment is to pour the fermented fermented fermented liquor into it, and then heat it externally, so that the ethanol, water and various organic substances in the fermented fermented grain are distilled and separated due to the difference of various substances, and then the liquor with high purity is obtained.
This set of distillation equipment was built by skilled craftsmen in the palace for nearly three months to complete, and it cost Li Yu thousands of family funds, which can be described as a heavy amount of money!
The distillation room is also the most heavily guarded place in the entire distillery, guarded by 30 guards belonging to Yu Chengzhishuai, the deputy pawn of the tent of the prince of Yanwangfu. If someone in the winery divulges the secrets of the wine visit to outsiders, they will be sent to Lingnan for 3,000 miles, or it will depend on how many copper plates your life is worth.
