At noon, in a workshop area in Dugi Province, the workers were eating in the canteen during the lunch break, and Dai Siqing, who had just become the production team leader, was eating while his eyebrows fluttered and his workers spoke: "...... Don't you know, that girl in my family got the first place in the class in this exam, and the gentleman in the school also said that she was talented. ”

Dai Siqing is envious of his neighbor Wang Laosan, who has a son who is studying in the primary school hall, and asks his son to read the newspaper to him in the yard every day before dinner.

During this time, he was rated as an advanced model by the workshop because of his serious and active work, all his skills were very good, and he rushed to do dirty work every time, and then his two children were sent to the primary school to study.

The eldest son used to run errands for people in the wealthy area of Luoyang, delivered milk part-time, and could earn three or four silver coins a month.

Fortunately, the youngest daughter is a piece of reading material, although the enrollment time is a little late, but almost as soon as she learns, it is less than three months, she can recognize more than 1,000 words, can write 900 words, and can barely read the newspaper, but Dai Siqing is very happy, and she praises people when she sees them.

The fifteen workers under him knew his temper, and they all praised him, but Wang Laosan was a little unconvinced: "Master Dai, your little girl is good at reading, and she even won a certificate, but it's a pity that she is a girl, no matter how good she reads, it will be cheaper for others to grow up, if you want to honor your ancestors, you have to ask your son to study well!" ”

He was telling the truth, and although the culture in Togi Province was open, and boys and girls could go to elementary school to read and write, it was in the minds of almost everyone. The idea is still the same as Zhang Laosan. Dai Siqing is naturally no exception. He was only so overwhelmed by the great joy that he forgot about it for a moment.

Dai Siqing was suddenly a little stunned, and then he figured out that this was Zhang Laosan, a guy who was comparing himself with him, showing his superiority, because it was his son who read the newspaper at home.

Dai Siqing was furious, and wanted to point at Zhang Laosan and scold, but suddenly heard a rapid ringing of the bell in the distance, and the sound became louder and faster. The sixteen workers suddenly became solemn, you look at me, I look at you, their faces are stunned.

"What bell is this?"

"Level 1 combat readiness!"

"Ahh All the people in the canteen stood up at once, and walked outside the canteen in a hurry, and someone shouted as they walked: "****, did you call from Youzhou Zahu?" ”

"Kill this group of **** zaggies!"

The same scene happened in many places in Dugi Province, and it didn't take long for 10,000 remaining Tiance soldiers to line up at the Daxiao Field of Tiance Mansion, in addition to the guards on duty. Other workers, farmers and student soldiers, who had only been trained for more than three months. At this time, they also gathered in the cement playground where the usual training camp was held, and everyone was talking loudly about what was going on.

Soon, there were instructors at all levels of the Tiance Army, as well as instructors who were in charge of training on weekdays, came to the big school field, and each training playground had solemn expressions and sad faces, and more than half of them still had tears in the corners of their eyes.

"This time, the first level of combat readiness, emergency assembly, you must want to know what happened? Is it a rebellion against Youzhou Zahu? ”

Li Qi, the king of Jianning, came to the field of the Tiance Mansion with red eyes, glanced around at the more than 9,000 soldiers of the Tiance Army standing like javelins, and said with sorrow: "Our great commander, the hussar general, the king of Lanling was killed by Zhang Xiancheng, the great commander of the snake tooth sent by Youzhou Zahu, to cast Gu poison!" ”

There was a huge commotion in the crowd all of a sudden, and almost everyone was like being struck by lightning, and most of them were the same as Li Qi's reaction at that time, and they stood on the spot.

About seventy miles away from Luoyang, on a training ground in Yanshi, a regimental-level instructor shouted loudly: "...... Youzhou Hu, the Hebei army killed the king of Lanling, and he is the enemy of all of us in Dugi Province; In a few days, the thief will rebel, and in addition to family hatred, we will also have a national enmity.

For more than two years, the prosperity of Dugi Province today is the result of the efforts of the King of Lanling and the soldiers of the Tiance Mansion to open up the South China Sea, and the result of the careful management of the Four Seas Trading Company run by the King of Lanling.

I don't know where you came from, whether you were natives or displaced people from lost lands, or what life you used to live. But I know that your life now must be several times better than before, or even more than ten times better!

In less than a month, 200,000 beast soldiers will be on the north bank of the Yellow River and hit our Duji Dao, and you all know what these Hu beast soldiers from Hebei Dao are.

If they come here, the wealth and prosperity of Togi Province will cease to exist, and all the money and good things will be robbed by them, and you will be slaughtered by them, and your homes will be destroyed by them, and your wives and daughters and sisters will be robbed and ruined by them......"

All the people's eyes turned red at once, these days, through the tragic situation of those displaced people who fled from Hebei Province and came here, coupled with the deliberate propaganda of Tiance Mansion, everyone knew the fate of being beaten in by these Hu beast soldiers.

In Gong County, which is about one hundred and ten miles east of Luoyang City, an instructor in charge of military training raised his voice and said loudly: "...... Now there are only 10,000 Tiance troops in Dugi Province, 270,000 under Youzhou Zahu, plus 200,000 Hui troops, if necessary, we must rely on us to go up!

We must fight to the death with these beast soldiers from Youzhou, not only to avenge the King of Lanling, not only to be loyal to the country, but also to protect our parents, wives and children, and to defend our homeland!

King Jianning and the Tiance Army assure you that once these Youzhou beast soldiers are killed, the 10,000 Tiance Army will definitely be the first to go up and fight at the front line, but the next thing is up to us!

If any of you are afraid of death, stand up now, leave Togi Province from now on, and wander elsewhere! If the hourglass is over and you don't come forward, once you reach the front, anyone who dares to back down will be executed with the harshest military discipline, and your family will no longer be able to work. ”

Most of the people who had lost their land and been displaced were now red-eyed and angry, but there were also a few who had survived the previous days. At this time, he retreated.

The Youzhou beast soldiers have pacified the Khitan and Xi who have been in trouble for decades in the frontier. The combat effectiveness can be imagined. You can't afford to risk your life for a job.

They wanted to leave, but when they saw their companions as if they were going to eat people, they didn't dare for a while, and hesitated left and right.

One hundred and sixty miles east of Luoyang City, the hourglass timer had ended, and nearly one percent of the people stood out with shame on their faces under the disdainful gaze of everyone.

The instructor in charge of training nodded and said loudly, "Okay." From now on, you are all peasant soldiers, before the new order comes down, you will work for a day, train for a day, and when you go to the battlefield in the future, you will be the official soldiers of Tiance Mansion, and everything will come according to the requirements of the soldiers! ”

After the instructor and instructor finished speaking, the people on the cement playground were silent for a moment, and then burst into a thunderous roar: "Kill all the Hulu." Defend your homeland! ”

"Kill all the Hulu and defend your homeland!"

"Kill Youzhou Zahu. Avenge the King of Lanling! ”

……

The next day, August 11.

Chang'an is still rainy and rainy, this morning, the Tang Emperor Li Longji, who has always ignored the government, actually broke through the wasteland and met with six courtiers in the Nanxun Hall of Xingqing Palace.

These six people are Yang Guozhong, the secretary of the right phase; Zuo Xiangwu Shangshu, Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhangshi Wei Jiansu; Imperial Historian Wei Fangjin; Ministry of Rites Shangshu Da Xi Xun; Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin Cui Guangyuan; Supervise the royal history Pei Mian.

These five people were almost all friendly with Yang Guozhong or some people who flattered Yang Guozhong, so they were pulled over by Yang Guozhong in order to expose An Lushan's imminent rebellion, and try his best to prevent Li Longji from agreeing to An Lushan's table.

Yesterday, An Lushan and the Chinese envoy Fu Xuanlin had been sent to Li Longji, who said that the people of Hebei would live and work in peace and contentment, and An Lushan would be dedicated to the king's affairs and be loyal; He also said that the soldiers of Youzhou would be grateful for the grace of the saints, and they could not repay it, so they wanted to sacrifice 3,000 good horses, and each good horse would be matched with two husbands of the Tibetan people.

After Li Longji saw the song, he was overjoyed, and said to Yang Guozhong with some pride: "I treat Lushan with all my heart, he really has no different ambitions, he is loyal, and the country is loyal, what else do you have to say now." ”

Then Li Longji was about to issue an edict to agree to An Lushan's invitation to sacrifice horses, Yang Guozhong was in a hurry, and together with Gao Lishi, he persuaded each other hard, Li Longji gave up for the time being, and said to Yang and Gao that An Lushan was already rebelling, which also made Li Longji a little suspicious, and today it was rare to spare half an hour to meet with these six courtiers and ask them their opinions.

Although most of the other five people are on good terms with Yang Guozhong, on this issue, they are not to help Yang Guozhong, but out of public intentions, they all speak sincerely, and force Chen An Lushan to rebel.

Wei Jiansu said: "Your Majesty, the letter from the Chinese envoy Fu Xuanlin is fake, Fanyang Lu's family, Boling Cui's family, and Qinghe Cui's family all said that the land of Hebei is rampant with bandits, the countryside is barren, and the people are displaced, and these people who fled from Hebei near Chang'an City will not be fake, why does the Chinese envoy Fu Xuanlin say that the people of Hebei live and work in peace and contentment?" ”

Wei Fangjin said: "Your Majesty, there is another point, why didn't you give Pei Shiyan an signature in the matter, isn't it a strange thing?" ”

Cui Guangyuan said: "Your Majesty, this matter is too strange, the minister got the information of the internal guard Yuan Siyi, saying that the Northeast Khitan and Xi have no evil remnants to make trouble, in fact, they are all private soldiers raised by An Lushan, and the total number of troops under his command has reached as much as 270,000, what is this not to rebel?" ”

Da Xixun said: "Your Majesty, An Lushan sacrificed the horse this time, just to murder Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you think, a good horse and two husbands from the Tibetan people, and send twenty-two generals to escort you."

What is it? This is an army of 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry! What do you say Mu Sheng'en, if you want to see the holy face, you just want to kidnap Your Majesty and kill the monarch and rebel when Your Majesty receives them! ”

…… These people said it so clearly, Li Longji was not stupid, and he suddenly became suspicious, but this was only intellectual, from the emotions in his heart, he still couldn't accept that the simple, stupid, stupid, cute, and chubby An Lushan would rebel against himself?

Another point, in addition to the fact that An Lushan's honest image is too deeply rooted in Li Longji's hearts, what is more important is that Li Longji is unwilling to accept this in his heart. An Lushan is his most trusted and most trusted courtier, far better than all his own sons, if he rebels against himself, doesn't it mean that he has failed at this point?

Won't his prestige be wasted all at once and ridicule the world?

This is simply the most unacceptable thing in Li Longji's heart, so deep in his heart, he is unwilling, unwilling to believe that An Lushan will really rebel against himself; Although he intellectually felt that An Lushan might really be rebelling, he couldn't help but think in a good direction emotionally and make excuses for An Lushan.

Li Longji frowned rarely, silent, he was already thinking in his heart, if An Lushan was really plotting a rebellion, he must try to cover up this matter, maybe he could emotionalize him?

Do you want to write a letter to him and ask him to come to Huaqing Palace in October to accompany him to soak in the hot springs, and then release his military power?

He thought like this, and did not say anything, and the six ministers next to him could only wait anxiously, so at this moment, Sun Liu, the eunuch in the inner worship, ran in in a panic, and shouted from a distance: "Your Majesty, it's not good, something big has happened, King Jianning has something big to tell Your Majesty......"
