Chapter 166: The Survival of the Great Song Dynasty
Li Yibai ordered Hubert to drive the tanks into a ditch below a high slope in the distance. It is more hidden in the ditch.
Hubert made many trips back and forth to get all the tanks there.
A lot of willow trees are also planted there. These willows were used as a defense against enemy forces. Prevent enemy horses from rushing over.
Where the tanks are hiding, people can't see from afar. And where there is no one to live, and no one is going anywhere.
So where is a good place to train tank combat.
Li Yibai and the soldiers also came somewhere.
'Sanmao, Ergou, you all listen. You guys hide here. You can buy a few more tents in a moment. Here are 100 taels of silver. You buy a lot of groceries and you live here. Today, you will all have to train here for half a month until you learn to drive a tank. Learn to shoot, learn to shoot a machine gun. ’
As he spoke, Li Yibai threw Hubert a bag full of silver bars.
'All the expenses you give them. Then they will listen to you. ’
Huber nodded.
Li Yibai has always been uneasy about these stubborn soldiers. After all, Hubert is a newcomer from outside. Without prestige, how can they obey orders at once? Now that they have the control of silver, they are bound to be honest and obedient.
Hubert gave three cents a few silver bars. Sanmao took the money, rode a fast horse, and went to buy daily necessities.
'Master Kuni. We're training right here? We don't have to defend the city anymore. The second dog asked Li Yibai.
'Hmm. That's right. Your job these days is to train here. You must obey my commands. ’
Li Yibai said directly.
'It's right that we follow the orders of the national teacher. We absolutely listen. It's just that in case the generals above know that we left our posts without permission, then'
Ergouzi said worriedly.
'Whatever happens, I'm going to fight. What are you worried about. All you have to do is listen to me. I have a reward for doing a good job. ’
Li Yibai said toughly.
'Yes. National Teacher. We will obey your commands. Several soldiers said in unison.
'Alright. We started training. Let's start with Mr. Hubert and learn how to drive a tank. After that, we learned how to fire shells. But remember. Shells should be fired sparingly. Only 20 rounds can be fired during the entire training period. The remaining 30 rounds were reserved for the Kim military. ’
Li Yibai ordered again.
'Yes. We remembered. The soldiers shouted in unison.
Soon. The soldiers all jumped on the tanks.
Hubert came over and said, 'Mr. Lee. A tank if it fires shells and hits machine guns. Three people are needed. If it's just driving, just one person. ’
Li Yibai smiled, "It's okay. You teach them to drive first. I'll bring in another 20 people. You teach them to shoot again. ’
'Okay. Huber nodded.
So, he started to drive the tank to demonstrate first. The tank circled around the clearing, and where the tank drove through, dust was raised, and the momentum was spectacular.
'Wow. This artifact is amazing. It's even more imposing than a war horse. ’
'Oh no. I don't think the war horse can rush it at all. How strong it is. Covered in iron. It's really an artifact. ’
'yes. The national teacher is really powerful. This brings us all the things of heaven to use. ’
Hubert stepped up and said, 'What is this, a tank can still climb over a trench.' The war horse can't jump over. ’
With that, Hubert drove the tank to the trench again.
The trench is 90 degrees steep. The tank has a chain, and the chain is strong on the ground, and it easily climbs the trench with a 90-degree body, and it walks on the trench as if it were walking on the ground.
'Wow. The artifact is just too powerful. Ergou shouted.
'yes. I want to try it too, but how to open it. The other soldiers shouted.
I'm going to teach you. Everybody come down first. Hubert shouted.
The soldiers wanted to learn how to drive a tank, and they immediately jumped down and came to Hubert's side.
Hubert explained carefully. How the tank starts, how to control the direction. How to put on the gas pedal, how to brake.
The soldiers also listened with relish.
After the soldiers listened.
Hubert sat in a tank and called two more soldiers to sit in as well. Let them sit by and watch how they operate the tank.
In this way, Hubert taught all nine of them.
Li Yibai also stood on top of the tank and looked at it.
But Li Yibai learned it after reading it once. He drove a tank as skillfully as a sports car. He even drove the tank out of the drift.
Then he operated the cannon himself. His cannon is also very accurate. He tried the machine gun again. Machine guns are very powerful, and every machine gun on the tank is a heavy machine gun.
'Papapa' bullets kept firing, and the willows were full of bullet holes.
The other soldiers were stunned. 'This artifact breathes fire. It also fires bombs, which is really powerful. ’
Li Yibai drove the tank back again.
After stopping the tank, he stepped forward.
I've learned. Everyone has to work hard to learn. Train hard. You have to become the first tank soldier of the Great Song Dynasty. In the future, the responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country in the Great Song Dynasty will be handed over to you. ’
After saying that, Li Yibai handed over everything here to Hubert, and he went back to rest.
Hubert already had prestige at this point. The soldiers adored him.
Everyone wants to learn how to fire an artifact, how to shoot a cannon, how to fire a machine gun.
Hubert also took the trouble to continue to explain.
At this time, Sanmao came back. He brought back several tents. There was also a lot of food, as well as pots for cooking.
We're going to live here in secret. This is what the national teacher ordered. The national teacher has already told our family about our situation. And the national teacher also gave a subsidy to our family, so we don't have to worry about the family's life. ’
'Wow, the national teacher is really good to us. We've been on the shift for so long. Only a senior like the national teacher has cared about our lives and our families. ’
Of course. From the first time I drank with him, I could see that he was a good person. He is different from ordinary officials. ’
Sanmao unfolded the food he bought and said. 'Everyone, don't get busy. You're all hungry. Sit down and eat. ’
Sanmao bought milk and mutton and other foods. These foods Hubert also eats very deliciously.
After everyone had eaten and drunk, they started training again
After Li Yibai returned home. He did not rest, but went to the city gate to find twenty coolies, each of whom gave a lot of silver, and ordered them to follow him to the tank base.
Li Yibai also incorporated these coolies into the tank unit.
All these coolies had to do was learn how to fire cannons and machine guns. These are relatively easy to learn and don't require a very bright mind.
After five days, everyone learned very well. The soldiers learned to drive tanks, and coolies learned to fire shells and machine guns.
Li Yibai asked them to show it again. They all showed it well. Many times the cannon hit the target.
'Not bad. Not bad. You are hiding here. After a few days, you will have a lot of use. I'll let you know when that happens. At the same time, you all have to learn how to use the radio. Easy to contact me. ’
Sanmao said, 'National teacher. I've learned to use the radio. This thing can travel thousands of miles. ’
'Yes. Our radio station has no problem transmitting 50 miles. I've put the antenna on the wall where you're on duty. Then I will go to the wall and give you orders. ’
'It's a national teacher. We pledge to follow your orders. Ergou and Sanmao said in unison
Another 5 days passed. Hubert had completely taught the soldiers to drive tanks. He was also scared of this place, and he wanted to go back.
Li Yibai saw that he was useless, so he sent him back to the United States.
After landing in the United States. Hubert said, 'Mr. Lee, tanks have limited diesel. You should send some oil over. ’
Li Yibai accepted his suggestion. Snapped his fingers at the same time. Hubert forgot all the memories he had of going to the Great Song Dynasty.
So when he returned, Li Yibai brought a large tank of diesel.
The next day. Li Yibai went to court.
Song Huizong sat on the throne with an unhappy look on his face again. As long as he is in court, he is not happy. It seems that when the emperor is happy, there is no majesty. But what kind of man he was was known to everyone in the world. It's just that people don't want to point it out.
'Your Majesty, the people of the Jin Kingdom have asked for an increase in the New Year's coins again. It was the Ministry of Rites who spoke.
'Your Majesty, as the minister said before. The Jin people are wolf ambitions. They must have used it as an excuse. Their real purpose is to invade our country. Therefore, Your Majesty, we should actively prepare for war. It can't be delayed any longer. Li Gang stood up and said.
'Your Majesty, Li Gang is talking nonsense. The people of Jin Guo just want more money. We'll just give him more. It's better than fighting. Cai Jing stood up and said.
When Li Yibai heard this, he also stood up and said, 'Your Majesty. The minister agreed with Lord Lee's opinion. Now the people of Jin Guoren are really as predicted, and they are repenting. This is simply the work of a villain. If they don't keep their word, they will inevitably invade our country. Please ask the emperor to order the arming immediately. ’
Song Huizong was frightened into a cold sweat. He muttered in his heart, 'God bless, don't beat me Da Song people.' ’
But he asked slowly, "Hurry up and figure out a solution." ’
'Your Majesty, we will send money to the people of Jinguo. Cai Jing said.
'Your Majesty, we are ready to go to war with the people of the Jin Kingdom. Li Gang said.
The two of them didn't give in to each other, and the other courtiers didn't speak, and no one wanted to take this mess. Cai Jing, as the prime minister, can't accept it. And Li Gang has the heart to serve the country with loyalty, he must take care of this matter, which is related to the survival of the country.
Song Huizong was furious, "Shut up. Quarrel and quarrel. Gao Yu, you said. ’
Gao Yu was forced by Song Huizong to express his opinion.
Gao Yu is good at figuring out Song Huizong's thoughts. He knew that the emperor did not want to fight.
Your Majesty thought that we could send an envoy to negotiate peace. At the same time, the New Year's coins are increased. We still follow Cai Xiangye's countermeasures. ’
Song Huizong was upset, he didn't want to listen to other opinions. 'Alright. Just do what Cai Xiangye said. ’
'Your Majesty, wait. The minister had to say. If the Jin people attack. Don't regret it. I'm still the main fighter. I'm not afraid of offending the emperor, I'm doing this for your good. Li Yibai stood up and said.
Song Huizong was angry. 'You Li Yibai. I put up with you everywhere. Master Li was also snatched away by you. I didn't expect you to oppose me everywhere and speak rudely at all. I'm the emperor, don't you take me seriously at all? ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "It's right that you are the emperor." But you didn't do much to benefit the people. Now that the country is in crisis, you have pursued a policy of appeasement and retreated step by step. Wait until the enemy invades the capital, and you will regret it. I'm not saying this for you. Just for the people of the Great Song Dynasty. I don't want to see people ravaged by war. ’
Song Huizong's nose was smoking, and Li Yibai vaguely scolded him for being a faint king. He is a man who reads poetry and books, why can't he hear it?
'Li Yibai, don't think that you are the incarnation of Tianzun, I have to let you everywhere. If you provoke me, I will kill you. You keep saying that the people of Jin will definitely call. What if the people of the Jin Kingdom didn't call? Shall I condemn you? ’
Li Yibai smiled faintly, "Okay, Your Majesty." If the people of Jin Guo hadn't called, I would rather lose my official position and be exiled to Lingnan. If the Jin army fights, I can help the emperor defeat the Jin army. But I have a request, I want to be promoted. ’
Song Huizong smiled slightly, "Whatever official you want to promote, I will promote you." You say, what do you want to do. ’
'The book is under the door of the Ping Zhang. Li Yibai said lightly.
After Li Yibai said this, the audience was shocked.
'Ahh Yes. Li Yibai is too arrogant. You took the initiative to ask the official and didn't say anything. I also want to be the head of a hundred officials and the prime minister. ’
'Hmph. Li Yibai: You want to be the old man's position. All right. You have the ability, the old man can let you. That's up to you. Cai Jing pointed at Li Yibai and said.
Li Yibai lowered his head and smiled secretly. 'Huh. Skill. Of course I have what I can. Now the survival of the entire Great Song Dynasty is counting on me alone.
I took the initiative to ask to be the prime minister, also to save the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty has always had prime ministers and talented people, and the prime minister needs to deal with the crisis. And not mediocre just to keep the official position. ’
Li Yibai is right, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty often changes, but because Cai Jing is better at currying favor with Song Huizong, and Song Huizong is more stupid. caused Cai Jing to be the prime minister for many years.
The longer you slaughter, the easier it is to form a party for personal gain, and the harm is endless.
Li Yibai said again, "The survival of the Great Song Dynasty is entrusted to me alone. I just want a prime minister. Is the emperor reluctant? ’
'You Li Yibai, you are too arrogant. Da Song is good. Where did the crisis come from. You are alarmist. ’
Cai Jing and everyone in Cai Jing's party pointed at Li Yibai and scolded.
Song Huizong waved his hand, and everyone quieted down. He said, 'Li Yibai, okay. You say you can handle a crisis. You can be the prime minister. You will also be able to overcome the attacks of the Jins.
All right. If you can do that, I can give you a promotion to Prime Minister. But if you can't. I have decided to destroy your nine clans. What you said today really makes me angry. ’
Cai Jing did not object at this time. He was smiling in his heart, "Okay, you Li Yibai, your time of death is here." dared to be arrogant to the emperor. I'm not going to kill you. The emperor will kill you. Jin Guoren called, see what you do? You're not dead end. (To be continued......)
