Chapter 504: Riotous Soldiers
For the three towns of Hebei, Datang's feelings are complicated, basically making them self-exclusive, but they also agree that it is customary and needs to be canonized by Datang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoDatang still has some control over most of the temperance envoys, although self-reliance always appears, but in general, it can still be defeated.
Only the three towns of Hebei Province have been established without permission, and basically, Datang is posthumously sealed and recognized. The only time that had influence over there was the Xianzong Dynasty. With the death of Xianzong and the accession to the throne by Muzong, the courtiers mishandled it, and the good situation also disappeared with the wind.
The worst thing is the Dezong Dynasty, the three towns of Hebei are all opposed, self-established as the king, Chang'an is also lost, Li Xilie is the king of Jianxing, and the marshal of the world. It was not easy to reconcile.
However, since Xianzong, Shangbei Sanzhen is still deferential, and it is considered to be obedient to the central government, if there is an army, no matter where the crusade is, whether it is to fight foreign races or crusade against other feudal towns, it is still obedient, and the situation has not been released until now.
Just after the New Year, the smell of firecrackers has not dissipated, and the people are still discussing the lanterns of the Lantern Festival. This is a common practice, although it is very rare to have such a short life, but the court will posthumously seal it, but I didn't expect that Zhou Pan sent a funeral number and did not ask the court for the title.
On the contrary, he proclaimed himself the generalissimo, the king of Ji, and posthumously crowned his father as the king of Ji, and was buried with a princely ceremony, which is a bit intolerable.
No, it can't be tolerated, it's already to the point where it has to be crusaded. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, Li Chen recruited important ministers to discuss the matter.
Several prime ministers were present, but there were many changes. Bai Minzhong has already taken up the post of envoy to recruit the party to unify the camp and set up the system, as well as the envoy to supply the army from the north and south and the envoy to the Ningjie degree, to pacify the party people. Bai Minzhong also took Sun Jingshang, the doctor of Zuo, as his marching Sima, Jiang Shen as the deputy envoy of the Jiedu, and Li Fu, the counselor of the doctor, as the envoy of the Xia Sui Festival.
Several ways in parallel, see whether it is to solicit or appease the party. So Bai Minzhong is gone. Also, Cui Yuanshi also left, and he walked in a hurry, very quickly. More than two months have passed. In the end, Wei Fu, he didn't die, but he was not lightly ill, and he applied to Li Chen for retirement, but Li Chen had to be approved.
The latter two retreated in a hurry, although Li Chen usually asked Fengyu to see the prime minister regularly, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have good and bad luck, not that it can be avoided by paying attention.
Walked three, made up four. Linghu Xuan, with the Hanlin bachelor to undertake the decree, the ministry of the servant to worship the same level of affairs. Cui Xuan, he and Cui Yuanshi are brothers, both from the Boling Cui style, and they are famous as one of the five surnames. He served as the chief doctor, the Chinese scholar, and the Tongping chapter
Zhou Qi, served as the middle of the imperial history, and worshiped the same Ping Zhangshi. Wei Mo, the former imperial historian, was reappointed as the secretary of the Criminal Department. Zhou Qi is a person who is quite upright and outspoken, and is known for being selfless, outspoken and daring, not avoiding the powerful, and recommending the virtuous and not avoiding relatives and enemies.
In order to inspect the school etiquette department of Shangshu, when he served as the assassin of Huazhou, the envoy of the Yicheng Army, and the observation envoy of Zheng Hua, the order was strict, no matter who was, even if he was a veteran with rich experience, if he did not follow the order, he would be punished as usual, and the whole army would be governed, so Feng Zhouqi was awarded the title of Zhuguo, and there were 300 households in the city. Now Li Chen has promoted him to the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history.
Finally, a celebrity, Du Mu. When he saw this name, Li Chen was a little surprised, he once wanted to find a celebrity to be the prime minister, but unfortunately he didn't remember who was alive at all. I once wanted to find Bai Juyi, but I couldn't find it, so I only found Bai Minzhong.
Later, it was Li Deyu who recommended Du Mu, which surprised Li Chen, but he didn't know what his talent was. In good conscience, he knew that Du Mushi was well written, and he was careless in other aspects.
Li Deyu said that Du Mu likes military books and war strategies, and has written several articles on military affairs. 、、、, expounded on the issue of feudal towns and the strategy of using troops. He also wrote thirteen notes on his grandson.
Li Deyu believed that Du Mu was quite talented, so he recommended him to serve. As a result, when Du Mu took office, the two also acted in a cup of tea and a vendetta of enmity. It turned out that Du Mu thought that his official luck was not going well and he was suppressed by Li Deyu, but he didn't expect that Li Deyu would recommend him again, which surprised him. Don't talk about him, even Li Chen was surprised, it is best to release his previous suspicions.
At the beginning of the meeting, it was to discuss how to crusade against Zhou Pan, who claimed to be the king without authorization. This meeting was presided over by Li Deyu, who presided over the Huichang crusade against Liu Zhen, who was self-reliant at that time, and was very experienced.
However, the most different thing about today's meeting is that it is very crowded. Li Deyu presided over the meeting, Du Mu helped, and there were many people in attendance, including several generals of the New Army, Xiaohu, Gao Piao, and Li Chengyu. There is also a group of cadets.
Among them, the three Xiaohu, they have the right to speak, but they must abide by the order of the proceedings. And that group of military cadets are completely observers, they can't speak, and if they have opinions afterwards, they can go back to school and then send a letter to the principal. They are here to observe, accumulate experience, and know how to develop in the future.
They have also been repeatedly told not to leak any of the contents of the meeting, no matter where or in any way, no leaking secrets. Even if the war is over, it is not allowed to talk nonsense to the outside world. It can only be discussed at school.
The content of the meeting was very ordinary, mainly to discuss who should send troops, how many troops should be sent to each town, and how many troops could be sent. And then the most troublesome thing is money......
If you want the local government to send troops to fight against the unsubordinate, the most troublesome thing is money and food. There will be some in the local area, but the imperial court must subsidize it.
'This year's tax revenue is optimistic, and it can receive 26 million yuan. Two million funds can be withdrawn. Wei Cong said. The tax revenue is a little more than expected, 2 million yuan, and the military expenditure should be enough for the time being, enough to support the tax revenue next summer.
It is expected that the troops will be sent to the festival, and there will be a total of four ways to make the Hedong festival, Yiding, Chengde and Cangjing. However, because of Cheng Dejun, now that Wang Yuankui is seriously ill, it is still taken care of by his son, Wang Shaoding, what will he do, it is really difficult to say.
Since the German army in the city, Hengji Jiedu is unstable, and it is expected to mobilize Wei Bo's army. Let Wei Bojun support cross-border and attack Youzhou. However, in this way, the cost will be a little greater. It's just that this is also something that can't be helped.
To be honest, this military discussion made Li Chen very angry. The first is that now is not the time to send troops, and the war will not start until the weather is a little warmer. It is estimated that it will wait until after the spring ploughing, and the spring ploughing needs manpower everywhere.
In addition, his new army has not yet been trained, otherwise this time the new army will be allowed to practice. Let the world see that the new army is powerful. Also, these five-way crusades should be able to assess Youzhou, but it is still difficult to say what the situation is. All they can do is plan ahead, and the rest can only be left to God. However, Li Chen will soon find out that if he doesn't burn incense on weekdays, it is useless to temporarily hold Buddha's feet.
Look, this is a pyramid. Li Chen showed a pyramid model on the table, "This thing is very magical, in the far west, there are several tombs of different sizes like this." There are quite a few of them. It is said to have been built 3,000 years ago, or even earlier, before our Three Emperors and Five Emperors. ’
This pyramid is said to have been built entirely of stone, and a total of 2,300,000 stones were used, each weighing an average of more than 30 stones. Li Chen explained the magic of the pyramid.
There are many magical places in the pyramid, and before Li Chen was reborn, no one could decipher his mystery. For example, if you get twice the height of the tower and divide it by the area at the base of the tower, it is exactly equal to pi, and the tower cake is multiplied by one billion, which is the distance from the earth to the sun. The three Golden Towers, which correspond to the three stars of Orion 10,000 years ago, look like in the sky. Also, there will be a window, and at a fixed time every year, it corresponds to the three stars of Orion.
It happened to be built on the 30th parallel of north latitude, and although it was not positive, if you add the error, measured at the angle in space, and add the refraction of the atmosphere, it is only a little bit worse.
In addition, there are many, many mysteries, such as the ability of pyramids to preserve, putting an apple in a pyramid-like structure, it can be preserved for a long time without heat preservation, and it is as good as new. What inside the pyramid let the water take out, rinse the wound, can heal quickly.
Before Li Chen was reborn, he was also fascinated by the mystery of the pyramid, and he remembered these things very deeply, and when he saw the pyramid drawing, he remembered it.
The source of the pyramid drawing is naturally those books translated from Dashi, Li Chen saw that there was a description of the pyramid, so he asked people to make this model.
One of the most amazing things about this pyramid is that there are similar models in many parts of the world. The Egyptian waiter was the largest, and the others were small. Besides, no one knows how the pyramid is made. This is the biggest puzzle of the pyramid in Li Chen's view.
Why do many parts of the world have imitators? Secondly, how exactly did the pyramid be built?
Later generations, there is too much evidence to suspect that the pyramids were not built at all 4,000 years BC. It's like using carbon 14 to identify. Or as evidenced by climate change. The pyramid is definitely not more than 4,000 years old.
Some of the strange pyramids around him, such as those that collapsed halfway through, or the strange ones at the top, were not so much unsuccessful as clumsy imitations of those who came after him to build them.
There are many murals in ancient Egypt, some built later, and the pyramids and tombs visited by tomb thieves. These murals are painted with the life and beliefs of the Egyptians, which is the best proof of the life of the ancient Egyptians.
But there is not a single pyramid mural that mentions how to build the pyramids. No. Such a great project has no sign at all, to record how he built it and who built it.
Kafka, who was thought to be by later generations, thought that the face of the human sphinx resembled him, and said that his name was on it. It's funny... There is no other record of such a great project? Face like? Wind and sun and rain, thousands of years, can you still see that they are very similar? There were no photos at that time, how do you know it's him, just by the word Kraft?
It's funny, I went to the Great Wall today to engrave a commemorative letter, and as a result, humanity perished. Thousands of years later, someone researched who built the pyramid, and when the research found that I got the name, it became me to build it?
What's more, how to cover? It is estimated that the pyramid will require 50 million people to maintain. What 100,000 slaves, twenty years, to take advantage of the rising waters of the Nile to build, that historian foolishly, architect tells you, that is impossible.
The Nile has only been rising for a few months, right? Seven folds and eight deductions, six or seven years, two hundred thousand people cover six or seven years? Carry 2,300,000 stones weighing 2.5 guilders. And you have to build it so that you can't even insert a piece of paper?
Three thousand years ago, anthropologists estimated that there were only 20 million people in the world. The whole world, not Egypt yet. How are they going to build?
Li Chen told a lot of mysteries, and listened to those bachelors and prime ministers of the Hanlin Academy who listened to the lectures, and their faces were as pale as earth. What a great project.
'Ladies and gentlemen, the Tang Dynasty is a great country in the world, a great country, and it has been inherited for thousands of years. But we are not the strongest, the biggest, and it is impossible to build such a pyramid with the Tang Dynasty now. You can imagine the greatness of those who came before. ’
'The sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great. Datang should be inclusive, constantly absorb the strengths of others, and strengthen itself. These Western countries have their own civilization and strengths, and they should strive to learn from them, and should not sit on their laurels and watch the sky and act like the frog at the bottom of the well. ’
Well, seeing that they listened, Li Chen was very satisfied, he was proud of Chinese civilization, but he couldn't be arrogant, he should try to absorb their strengths and make up for his own shortcomings. It is not impossible for Chinese people to be so proud, but it is tragic to be too proud and turn into arrogance.
The pyramid is very good to beat these people, Li Chen also plans to publish it in the newspaper, so that the whole Tang Dynasty knows that the West also has a civilization and culture that is not inferior to the Tang Dynasty, and it is necessary to be aggressive and learn from them.
After the New Year, the weather began to warm up and gradually warmed, and after the Lantern Festival, the weather was cold again and it snowed a little. After that, it warmed up one day after another. On February 1, the Neutralization Day, on this day, Li Chen gave the hundred officials a neutralization ruler according to the usual practice. On this day of holiday, there is a banquet in the palace, and the ministers are happy.
The next day, the dragon raised his head, Li Chen personally went down to the field to plow, he helped the plow, Li Cheng took the head of the ox, and the two of them finished plowing an acre of land together, symbolizing the meaning of attaching importance to spring ploughing.
On the day when the dragon raised his head, the weather began to warm up, and several feudal towns should start marching troops to Youzhou according to the original plan, and Li Chen sent attendants to supervise from all sides to see if the Jiedu envoy had moved troops.
If you want to move troops, of course, you have to pay a reward, you can say that the promotion fee is okay, in short, the money is not enough, and these knots will not move. However, how to transport it in the middle of winter? To transport, to manpower, February is the season of farming, manpower is inconvenient to mobilize. Isn't that going to take longer? However, Li Chen has a way.
So he sent messengers everywhere. Let the envoy urge the festival to send troops, he waited for news in Beijing, he thought that there would be news in a month, but a bad news came first, and there was turmoil in Beijing!! Rioters and soldiers. (To be continued.) )
