"My system is peace-loving, and it is our credo not allow the transport of anything related to weapons," the system said. The second kick had gunpowder in it, so it could not be transported. ā
Li Su was a little anxious, in this big play, the second kick is one of the key props. Without the second kick, the dramatic effect is difficult to achieve.
He said: "Your system is unreasonable, let me ask you, our original agreement was not to transport metal products, right?" ā
The system said, "Yes." ā
Li Su asked, "The ingredients in gunpowder are saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, is there any metal in it?" ā
The system said, "No." ā
Li Su said: "Doing business must be credibility, and the agreed conditions must be strictly implemented. ā
The system said, "But? ā
"Nothing." Li Su said firmly: "First of all, the second kick is a firecracker, a tool used for celebration, not a weapon. Secondly, I use them to stop the war, just for peace, what's not to do? ā
The system said, "Then I'll have to deduce." The system fell silent.
After a full 5 minutes, the system returned. The system said: "Okay, I'll help you this time, don't take it as an example, you can't transport gunpowder, as our new agreement." Also, this time I want 200 times the shipping fee. ā
"Deal." Li Su said decisively.
Soon, all the props that Li Su used to act were all available.
That night, Li Su and others scrutinized the details of tomorrow's singing again, and then dispersed to rest.
The next morning, at half past 8 o'clock, the royal court of the Tiele Department.
In a clearing not far from the tent of Chemo Zheko, a half-man high square wooden platform was erected.
Near the edge of the north side of the platform, in the middle is the Khan's seat, facing north and south. Flanked are seats for 12 elders.
Behind them was a towering flagpole with the broad wolf's head banner of the Tiele Division, and dozens of flags around the high platform. The cold wind on the grassland swept through these flags, making a "fluttering" sound.
Directly in front of the high platform is a row of steps, flanked by two rows of drummers.
On all sides of the high platform, there were the guards of the Khan of Khan Khan of Kham, all with helmets and armor, holding spears, and majestic. On their periphery were the Chinese troops led by Che Bian Zheluo.
Soon, the chiefs of the various tribes led some of their officers and soldiers into the hall according to the designated positions, and by 9 o'clock the meeting hall was full of people, and the total number was not less than 10,000.
Today is a good day, the weather is fine and the sun is shining. Khan Chebi Zheko walked out of the big tent, shrouded in sunlight, and walked to the square surrounded by Prime Minister Zhen Denan and others.
"Great Khan." "Great Khan."
As he passed through the neatly lined line, respectful greetings rang out from the procession. He smiled and nodded cordially to the crowd.
Khan Chemo Zheko walked up to the high platform and sat down in his seat, and the rest of the elders also sat down in their places.
Zhen Denan, the prime minister of Zuo, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, asked Khan and said, "Great Khan, can you start?" ā
Chemo Zheko nodded. Zhen Denan stood up and announced the start of the pledge meeting, and he waved to the audience.
"Toot toot, toot toot." With the sound of a trumpet, the band began to play. Then, the 48 performers of the performance team formed a battle formation and performed the departure dance of the Tiele Division.
The performance team sang and danced, which opened the prelude to the pledge of the Tiele Department.
After dancing for 9 minutes before the performance ended, Prime Minister Zhen Denan stood up and announced the second item of the conference, inviting the honorable Khan Chebi Zheko to speak.
Chemo Zheko has not been a khan for a long time, and he did not have many opportunities to speak in public before, and he is not good at speaking. In order to prepare for this speech, he prepared many days in advance.
The Tiele tribe did not have their own script, they used Turkic and Chinese, of which Han was the main language. Chebi Zheke first asked Zuo Prime Minister Zhen Denan to write a speech for him, but he was illiterate. So, he found a literate attendant to read to him, and he memorized it word by word, and then practiced it repeatedly, but he memorized it well.
At this moment, he stood on a high platform and gave an impassioned speech.
"The Warriors of the Tiele Tribe......"
He first reviewed the glorious history of the Tiele Ministry, and traced the glorious deeds of the ancestors of the Tiele Ministry, who fought bravely and developed and strengthened the Tiele Ministry. He then spoke of the difficulties facing the Tiele Division.
Finally, he talked about the significance of attacking Datang. He said, "Warriors, what should we do if our old people, women and children do not have enough to eat? This year, the people of the Tang Dynasty have had a bumper harvest of grain, and there is so much grain that it can't be contained in the granary, so they are waiting for us to grab it back. ā
Speaking of this, he waved his hand and set off his speech very imposingly.
"The Great Khan is right!"
"Great Khan, take us to rob them!"
"Those cowardly Tang Dynasty people, they can't even ride horses, they will run away when they see us, their food and women are ours."
Chemo Zheko's supporters applauded him and cheered him on.
At this moment, everyone found out that there didn't seem to be so many people who supported Chebi Zheko, and as far as the whole venue was concerned, it was a bit cold.
At this time, an elder stood up and said in a loud voice, "Khan, I have a question for you. His attitude was courteous, but his tone was firm.
Chemo Zheke saw that this person's name was Huerle, and he was an elder who usually treated him coldly. Thinking of the current situation in the venue, Chebi Zheke suddenly became alert. He said, "Say it." ā
The elder said: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty has been prepared for a long time, and in front of our Tiele Department, the Tang Dynasty has built many strong fortresses, and all the cities have been fortified. If we attack these strong fortresses, I don't know if we can fight them, and even if we do, it is difficult to say whether we can grab food, but the casualties will definitely be very large.
Therefore, I thought that it was not appropriate to start a war at this time. ā
The officers and soldiers at the venue heard that the Tang Dynasty had already prepared and that everyone was going to attack the fortified position, and they all started to talk about it. These officers and soldiers, let them charge on horseback, and everyone will not be timid, but let them climb the ladder to attack the city, they are all a little embarrassed.
At this time, an elder who supported Chemo Zheko said, "Don't talk nonsense here. As we all know, building a castle requires a lot of manpower and material resources, the Tang Dynasty was also a big drought last year, even if the days are a little better this year, where do they get the financial resources to build the castle, have you seen it with your own eyes? ā
Huerle said: "You are talking nonsense. You may not know that the people of the Tang Dynasty invented something called cement, which is a kind of powder, mixed with sand and water, like thin mud, wiped on the wall, and when dried, it will be like a hard stone, and it is extremely convenient to build a city wall. ā
As he spoke, he waved his hand to the audience and shouted, "Come on, bring things up." ā
(I'm sorry, there is only one shift today, there is something at home these days, at least two shifts from tomorrow.) )
