Chapter 181: Everything is ready and self-defeating
"Tiance Mansion is the mansion opened by Emperor Taizong, the soldiers of Tiance Mansion or the heroes behind the door, or the orphans of heroes who died on the battlefield for the country, the purpose of Tiance Mansion is to protect the world of Li Tang, and we are the last line of defense of Datang."
Qin Yiyan said solemnly: "Tiance marksmanship is exquisite, invincible in the world, it takes a very high level of understanding and qualification to learn, with such a half-immortal body as a great commander, such a power is infinite, after learning, it is really true that it is in all directions, invincible in the world!"
However, the purpose of guarding Li Tang's world must be immutable, to benefit the country, not to seek wealth and nobility, this eight-character government motto should be engraved in the bottom of my heart, and I must not forget it! ”
Xiao Quzhi glanced at the two of them, and then looked at Li Qi, and then said to the two of them: "The two generals can rest assured, protect the rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, benefit the country, do not seek wealth and nobility, and will always keep in mind when you are sick, and never forget it!" I swear by it! ”
Although as a later generation, Xiao Qubing does not agree with the idea of being loyal to the monarch and only loyal to one family and one surname in Tiance Mansion, but he does have some reverence and emotion for them to insist on their own beliefs, stick to their beliefs, and this spirit of fighting for the country.
Moreover, if the restrictions of the times are removed, this kind of belief and perseverance is indeed great enough. In most places, the nature of the martyrs who gave their lives for the faith is no different from that of later generations.
Isn't this the righteousness of heaven and earth and the backbone of the nation that our nation and our Han culture have been eulogizing and praising all along?
Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds are endowed with manifolds...... When the poor festival is seen, one by one. In Qi Tai Shi Jian, in Jin Dong Fox Pen. In Qin Zhang Liangshi, in the Han Su Wu Festival. For General Yan's head...... For Zhang Suiyang's teeth, for Yan Changshan's tongue......
In fact, Wen Tianxiang wrote less about Wang Zhongsi, in Xiao Quai's view, Wang Zhongsi is simply ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. For millions of years, the first perfect general. The armed forces are strong, not to mention the three armies of the brave champions, they are invincible, they are invincible, and they don't talk about him. Just saying that he is a profit-seeking country and does not seek wealth and wealth is worthy of everyone's admiration.
When he was young, he was originally brave and conceited, but after he became a festival envoy, he took it as his duty to guard the border steadily, and often said to people: "When the country is peaceful, it is just for the generals to take care of its people!" I don't want to exhaust China's strength to invite fame!"
But that being said, he has always won battles. He did not allow the waves to fight, but let the soldiers think about the battle day and night, and then Wang Zhongji sent elite scouts to spy on the enemy's weak points, and then attacked by surprise, and the battle was invincible.
And the reason why he was belittled by Li Longji was not only framed by Li Linfu and An Lushan's slander, but also because he was unwilling to let tens of thousands of soldiers under him go to death (I can't bear to exchange tens of thousands of lives for an official). Disobeyed Li Longji.
This is Wang Zhonghe's profitable country, not seeking wealth and nobility! It is also the respectability of Wang Zhongsi and Tiance Mansion!
If you talk about shortcomings or limitations. is only loyal to one family and one surname, the emperor is virtuous and good, but the emperor is stupid, so he can only watch the world be corrupted by the emperor day by day.
is like Wang Zhonghei, who was only demoted to death in the end, and then Ge Shuhan took his place. At the cost of 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers killed in battle, he captured the stone castle city garrisoned by hundreds of people!
Therefore, he will never be Wang Zhonghei, Li Tang can protect the world, but Li Longji must step down and abdicate! Anyway, what I just said was Li Tang's world, not his Li Longji's world.
Anyway, he has already cultivated a good successor for Li Tang Jiangshan; Anyway, I don't have the heart to be an emperor. How tiring it is, my goal is to do everything I want to do within fifteen years, and then when I reach the age of thirty-five, I will be happy and happy, accompany my wife, teach my children, travel the mountains and rivers, and control the world remotely; Anyway, if you want to control the world, you don't have to be an emperor, the key lies in the continuation of ideas and ideas.
Qin Yiyan and Cao Xueyang were very happy, but Li Qi and Xiao Quzhi were very curious, Xiao Quzhi smiled and said, "Then you can teach me my Tiance marksmanship now, right?" I'm curious about how good Tiance's marksmanship is? And why did General Cao teach me, and not General Qin? ”
"Because Xue Yang's perception and understanding of Tiance marksmanship are higher than mine, and she teaches them better." Qin Yiyan said with a smile: "If the auxiliary minister doesn't believe it, you can try it with me or Xue Yang." ”
"Okay, how do you compare?" Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi said in unison.
The competition soon began, for the sake of fairness, Xiao Quzhi and Cao Xueyang each rode an ordinary war horse, and the weapon used was also a spear shaft with the head of the spear removed, and the two hedged against each other to see who stabbed each other in the shoulder first.
Li Qi was very excited when he rode on the horse, Xiao Qubing was already a god-like existence in his heart, he didn't believe that Cao Xueyang could beat his master as a weak woman, but Qin Yiyan was also full of confidence, smiling and silent.
Xiao Quzhi saw that the two of them looked like they were winning, and he felt strange in his heart, but this was not a life-and-death competition, just to see the subtlety of Tiance's marksmanship, and the other party was his daughter's family, so he didn't care much.
Li Qi gave an order, and the two people who were two hundred paces apart began to accelerate at the same time, the spear shaft was not an ash shaft, Xiao Quai's use was not easy, but Xiao Quai's illness was very confident.
His own movements and reaction time are twenty or thirty times faster than ordinary people, and the two spears intersect, even if he can't shake the pole and knock the opponent's spear shaft away, he can also take the first step to stab the shoulder swallower on the armor of the opponent's left shoulder.
When a hundred steps away, Xiao Quzhi focused all his attention on Cao Xueyang, who was hedged over, and the woman in front of him was quite outstanding, especially a pair of long legs were extremely eye-catching, but when it came to beauty, it was naturally far from being very cute, but at this moment, she was preoccupied and serious, but she also looked extraordinarily heroic.
When the two of them were sixty paces apart, Xiao Qubing had already reached a state of distraction and full concentration, his eyes only staring at the shaft of his spear and the shoulder swallowing beast on his shoulder. Time seems to have slowed down, the speed of the two horses has accelerated to extremely fast, and they are hedging, the relative speed can be imagined, but in Xiao Quzhi's eyes, Cao Xueyang seems to be jogging.
At this moment, Xiao Quzhi suddenly heard a series of very wonderful sounds, Cao Xueyang's heartbeat on the opposite side suddenly more than doubled, and the blood in his whole body began to rattle in the blood vessels, it felt like a big river rushing, mountain springs and waterfalls, which made Xiao Qubing extremely shocked.
Xiao Quzhi felt slightly surprised, could this be Tiance's qi and blood operation exercises. There is such explosive power, less than 0. In 1 second, Cao Xueyang is like a different person, the speed of qi and blood luck is not slower than when he explodes with all his strength, this is really amazing!
didn't have time to think about it, the distance between the two had already entered within four zhang. At the same time, Cao Xueyang's body leaned forward slightly, his arms were sent forward, and the two spears intersected, and then a loud bang came, and the two horses passed by by mistake.
Li Qi, who was watching the battle not far away, was incredibly surprised to see that Cao Xueyang, who looked tall and thin and weak, actually stabbed the master half an hour ahead. Then the tip of the spear shaft was about two feet, and it instantly shattered into powder; At the same time, the master's spear shaft was gently rubbed against the beast devouring head on Cao Xueyang's left shoulder, and Cao Xueyang's body was deviated and unharmed.
Master was defeated!
"Sure enough, good marksmanship, good internal strength, can instantly explode several times the strength and speed!" The two spear shafts intersected, and Xiao Quzhi still held the spear with both hands, his left hand in front and his right hand in the back. Send the arm out; But Cao Xueyang leaned forward and twisted slightly. The left hand let go of the right hand and handed it to the front, and the spear shaft was nearly three feet longer than Xiao Quai's, and the speed was not slower than himself after the explosion, so he stabbed himself first.
"Are you okay, I didn't stop......" Cao Xueyang was a little nervous, and at the same time very strange. Just rubbed the edges, why did the spear shaft shatter like this?
"This is the arrogant and bloody battle intent, and the Tiance Mansion does not pass on the internal martial arts......" Xiao Quzhi smiled and said that it was okay, and Qin Yiyan began to explain the origin of the Tiance Mansion's marksmanship and the arrogant blood battle intent.
Only then did Xiao Quzhi know that Qin Qiong was the first fierce general of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. And the best at spear rather than double mace, Tiance Mansion's marksmanship was during that period, based on the Qin family's marksmanship and Qin family's guidance technique, absorbing Luo Shixin, Wei Chi Jingde, Pei Xingyan, Cheng Yanjin and other advantages and finally formed.
Tiance's marksmanship is brave and concise, every move and style is based on actual combat, without any fancy, and has reached the realm of a grandmaster who returns to the basics; The Qi and Blood Operation Method of the Proud Battle Intent is to stimulate the Qi and Blood to run quickly in a short period of time, which can increase the strength and reaction speed by several times or ten times, which is simply an open existence.
However, it also has three problems, one of which is difficult to practice; second, it cannot be sustained, otherwise it will seriously damage the body; The third is that the more you use it, the longer you use it, and then there will be a period of weakness.
To put it bluntly, it is overdrawn vitality in the battle, and the stronger the fighting spirit, the greater the power that can be exerted, but the negative effect is also obvious, as strong as Qin Shubao, fighting all over the Sui and Tang invincible opponents, but not long after the unification of the Tang Dynasty, he has been lingering on the sickbed.
But despite this, Xiao Quzhi is very interested, and he has to practice, and it is a big deal not to use it or use it less.
……
Time flowed by like flowing water, Xiao Quzhi accompanied the soldiers to train every day, practiced marksmanship and arrogance and fighting spirit, and accompanied He Ke'er at night, and left everything else to someone more professional than himself to do.
In addition, the training methods are very scientific and effective, and the nutrition is good, in just over a month, the 27,000 recruits can already completely ban the order, and the actions are like the wind.
What is the matter of the Four Seas Trading Company, as well as the Wang family's uncle, Hou Siqi and Xiao Tianming, etc., and the development is also booming, not counting the work on the construction site, the employees and guards of the Four Seas Trading Company have tens of thousands, more than 20 caravans, and the Four Seas Supermarket has opened to Taiyuan, Yangzhou, Guangzhou and other places in addition to Luoyang, Chang'an.
With Li Xian, the prime minister, in charge of political affairs, assisted by dozens of upright and capable officials such as Jiang Qing and Wang Changling, and with complete autonomy, the political affairs of the entire province were cleared in a short period of time, and the atmosphere and efficiency of doing things even far exceeded those in the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
Li Xian cooperated with Xiao Quai's carrot and stick methods, and the big families in Dugi Province were all rectified honestly, and the grain and meat items returned to the level before Xiao Quai's illness.
Stable prices, coupled with a large number of new industries and jobs brought by Sihai Trading Company and Tiance Prefecture, have led to the development of the local economy. The consumption of the workers of the Sihai Trading Company and the families of the soldiers of Tiance Mansion greatly stimulated the prosperity of the market, and almost everyone in the entire Dugi Province, especially in the vicinity of Luoyang, enjoyed the dividends brought by the large amount of money and construction carried out by Tiance Mansion.
On the other hand, Gu Xiaojun and Yuan Siyi, with the internal guards, with the absolute strength of the Tiance soldiers, the guards of the Four Seas Trading Company, and the Louguan Taoist priests, swept away the dark forces in the entire Dugi Dao, and all the underworld ~ gangs, underground religions, Manichaeism, snake teeth, and green forest bandits were all swept away. In particular, Manichaeism suffered heavy losses and was forced to move out of Tugi Province, and the four great Dharma kings were all wiped out!
At the same time, Xiao Qubing secretly set up the Tiance Secret Guard, Li Tianxi was in charge of Luoyang as the commander, Zhang Xiaogou and other more than 130 elite scouts scattered to various places, opening shops, merchants, and workers, lurking to find out intelligence.
In short, during this period of time, taking advantage of the power given by Li Longji's trust, Xiao Quai's group spent a lot of money, integrated all the resources that could be integrated, and the whole business entered the fast lane of high-speed driving, and the changes near Luoyang are simply changing with each passing day, one day at a time!
On the third day after the design of the new-style crossbow, Ye Wei, the owner of the three villages of the Tibetan Sword Villa, brought Ye Peng and more than a dozen sword casters to help.
Xiao Qubing was overjoyed, these more than ten swordsmiths are all metallurgical talents. Xiao Qubing took them to the coke steelmaking workshop in Chang'an, and introduced the technology of using refractory insulation bricks to increase the furnace temperature of the steelmaking furnace, and the cold forging technology of Uzi Steel, and then they really researched soft steel and a sword that is better than the Damascus scimitar.
The new type of mounted crossbow has been designed more and more perfectly, and the test results of 500 Tiance cavalry are less than one fire in ten seconds, and they are sturdy, easy to operate, and are in mass production (modification).
New eight-ox crossbows and small trebuchets have also been developed, and the first samples can be operated by only two people, and the firing speed is slightly faster than the previous seven or eight people, and they are still being improved.
On the other hand, Chang'an's business has also developed in full swing, and two batches of paper made by the caustic soda pulping method have been produced, and more than one million yuan of silver money has been earned from the sale of agency rights.
The money was completely sufficient, plus the production of the new eight-bull crossbow, the small catapult and the hand-cranked crossbow named the Tiance crossbow, plus the reluctance of He Keer, the trip to the Xiaoshi shipyard in Lanling Lanling in Haizhou (Lianyungang) was delayed again and again, and it was the first day of April in a blink of an eye.
……
In Yuyang County, Jizhou, Hebei Province, Fan Yangjun, who was in his early 40,000s, and 5,000 Luohe were on their way to the class. Behind them, there were more than 10,000 Khitan and Xi prisoners of war, tied in a string like grasshoppers, and led away like dogs.
Both sides of the road were full of people watching the excitement, talking and pointing, and the Hebei soldiers who won the battle saw this and stood tall and protruding, and their toes were high.
In early March, the two towns of Fanyang and Pinglu sent Shi Siming to send 70,000 cavalry to attack Khitan and Xi, and fought two decisive battles on the banks of the Tuhu Zhenshui River, where the Anlu Mountains were almost wiped out last year, and returned with a great victory.
"Fifty-five thousand when you go, a little more than fifty-thousand when you come back, and more than ten thousand captives with you......"
"How did this battle go, does anyone know?"
"It is said that it was on the banks of the Tuhu Zhenshui River last year, and fought a decisive battle with the Khitan and Xi 220,000 troops, beheaded 50,000, and captured 25,000 alive!"
"Shi Dashuai only used more than 70,000 soldiers and horses to defeat two 120,000 troops, and the loss was only a little more than 10,000......"
"It is said that Shi Dashuai sent scouts to threaten the soldiers of Fan Yangjun to think of returning to war, leading to two decisive battles, Fan Yangjun deliberately retreated first without fighting, and he was really fooled twice, thinking that it would be like last year, so he chased after him, Fan Yangjun suddenly killed, and Pinglu Army blocked the back road......"
After the army, the Jizhou Zhuqi soup cake shop was full of people, several little local tyrants who knew the inside story were drooling, talking non-stop, the honest and honest shop owner with a smile on his face, quickly served each guest the various soup cakes they ordered.
No one noticed, and in the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just dawning, Zhu Aqi went out of the city alone, and released a carrier pigeon in a small forest outside the city.
Two days later, Xiao Quai, who was in Luoyang, received the news, he frowned, and sighed in his heart: "His sister, will it be self-defeating to get the pig of An Lushan down, and the wolf of Shi Siming will come up." Dead fatty, you have to fight for it......"
After a pause, he said to his soldiers: "Call everyone to come to the meeting!" (To be continued.) )
