It had been 10 days since the capture of Pyongyang, but Li Chongjiu did not immediately return to Youjing, but lived in the Dangxiang City.
The battleship needed to be repaired, and the soldiers also needed to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, and the Silla women in the party city favored the victorious Zhao soldiers the most. Silla is a country where the defense of men and women is not strict, and the soldiers of Zhao can't help but be a little distracted. However, Zhao Jun's military discipline was very strict, and they were not allowed to have anything to do with the women in the city, and they wasted a lot of good intentions.
During this period, the new Rodman princess also visited Li Chongjiu from time to time. Princess Deman is in her thirties, and compared to her younger sister Princess Shengman, she has a unique style. In the eyes of later generations, it is a wife in the true sense.
However, Li Chongjiu is not much interested in Princess Deman, even if the other party has charm, look at one of her ex-husbands and three current husbands. Li Chongjiu felt that it was better to forget it. Unexpectedly, the more Li Chongjiu refused, the more resentful Princess Deman's eyes became. Li Chongjiu can also do this.
After living in Dangxiang City for ten days, Li Chongjiu saw that the time was almost up, and finally boarded the battleship again and left Dangxiang City.
In the past ten days, Li Chongjiu has not returned to Youjing at the moment, but the news of Zhao's great victory has been communicated to Guò Clipper, and Youjing was reported as soon as possible. This time, the capture of Pyongyang and the capture of the king of Goguryeo shocked all the people, and after the shock, the people rushed to tell each other, and the whole of Yukyoto fell into a carnival.
In Youjing City, the scholars of Guozijian immediately submitted a proposal to the new government official Cui Junsu to congratulate him on the night tour, asking Youjing to open a curfew. Cui Junsu took office as a new official, and he did not know the details. What's more, he has always been a serious person, and he didn't even think about refusing the scholar's request.
But Cui Junsu didn't expect it. He really underestimated the power of the country's eunuchs. Seeing that Cui Fujun was not close to people, these scholars immediately went to the Yamen of Youjing Mansion to protest. Guozijian made trouble. Even the students of the county and the county school also joined. In a word, everyone must do this.
When Wang Qi and Wei Zhengdu wrote a letter to Cui Junsu about the matter. Only then did Cui Junsu understand how powerful these national eunuchs were. As the shepherd of Youjing, Cui Jun was not as tough as Wei Zheng, so he immediately changed his attitude and personally met with the Guozi Supervisors to show his closeness to the people, and promised that all squares in Youjing would open a curfew tomorrow.
After the sons of the country got the promise. I am very happy to organize a grand night tour of Youjing to congratulate at the moment. This is also the first time that Yujing has opened a curfew at other seasons except for the Shangyuan Festival.
Although it was a celebration, for Cui Junsu, he was afraid and did not dare to be careless, and the soldiers and soldiers who patrolled the city in the city all canceled their vacations and went out overnight. Cui Junsu also transferred 2,000 soldiers into the city to maintain order.
That night. In the secluded capital, it is brightly lit. Under the melting moonlight, the market is bustling, and the wine shops are ready to open all night.
As the captain of the city patrol soldiers, Situ Qiu. When patrolling the streets on horseback, I saw people celebrating on the left and right. Men, women and children all travel with the crowd and travel in the night. The most eye-catching among the people are the soldiers who are dressed in green swords and walk with their swords held high. On their faces, they could see that Zhao Guo was now in the middle of the sky.
Situ Qiu gave a few instructions to his subordinates, asking them to take a good look at these scholars.
These scholars are the pillars of Zhao Guo in the future. But before entering the officialdom, he was not contaminated with the habit of doing things in the officialdom, and at this time he was young and vigorous, and he was most likely to have an impulsive accident. Situ Qiu still remembered the last time he defended Youjing, these soldiers actually picked up swords and wanted to fight the Turks. And this time, in order to celebrate the night tour, he dared to be willing in front of Youjing Mansion, which is really unimaginable.
Now the scholars sang in unison.
You don't see it, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is a captive, please be long. You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan is far away, and the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds. The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life. The situation is that the national prestige is tired, the feathers are fighting endlessly, the singing is fluttering, and the scholars are walking generously.
This poem that Li Chongjiu occasionally composed back then has a great tendency to be sung, not only the sons and gentlemen of the country, but also once a day during morning exercises, and even among the army.
You don't see it, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is a captive, please be long. You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan is far away, and the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds. Situ Qiu shouted these two sentences, and a sense of pride surged out of his chest.
Reproducing the majesty of the time of the strong man, the two generations of emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty had lofty ambitions. Back then, Situ Qiu's father followed Yang Sugong out of the fortress and broke the Turkic soldiers, which became his lifelong conversation and lifelong glory. But after the failure of Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo, the ambition of the Great Sui to reproduce the martial arts of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty became a laughing stock.
But now, when this loud war song was sung, Situ Qiu's eyes were faintly moist, and at the same time, he said in his heart What is the matter, he is Li Tang's meticulous work that infiltrated in the Great Zhao, and he can't help but cheer and celebrate the victory of the Zhao State.
A few days earlier, he had been rewarded by his superiors for delivering the news of Li Chongjiu's army crossing the sea to conquer Goguryeo to Chang'an one step ahead of the others. But in his mind, I'm afraid that Li Yuan, who is now in Chang'an, should not be happy when he hears the news that Li Chongjiu has conquered Goguryeo.
And across the street from Situ Qiu, Ashina Dubi, who was drinking in a wine shop, was in a different mood. Ashina is the younger brother of Chuluo Khan, and he is a figure of the Turkic Mohe and the Jiedu side. This time, he came to Youjing to discuss next year's trade with Zhao Ting on the behest of his brother.
Ashina was drinking sullen wine alone, the lamb liver and roast goose on the table did not move, and near his table, there were all Zhao people who were talking and laughing loudly. In the past, if there was no curfew, people outside the restaurant would have to hurry back to their own restaurant, and there would not be too many diners in the restaurant.
But now that the curfew order has been lifted, countless Zhao people have taken to the streets to celebrate, and it is inevitable that everyone will eat and drink a lot with this happy event.
"Han people are so enjoyable, if there is a little happy event, they have to celebrate it with food." A guard beside Ashina said dissatisfiedly.
Ashina said aggressively: "Now our Turkic people are not like this, they have long lost the courage of their ancestors to build a country, in the past few years, the Zhao people have opened up trade, in the past, they had to shed blood, and they worked hard to snatch things from the Han people, and they can easily get them." Just like a wolf, if someone feeds him meat every day and does not have to hunt, then his teeth will be dull, his sense of smell will not be sensitive, he will no longer run fast, and he will gradually become a dog. ”
Ashina said aggressively, and several guards showed hatred.
This time, Goguryeo, who secretly interacted with the Turks, was severely damaged by the Zhao State, which made the Turks fall into passivity. Originally, in Zhao Deyan's plan to Chuluo Khan, it was to use the Turkic and Goguryeo countries to firmly clamp Youjing left and right in a pincer state. Restrained Zhao State, so that Li Chongjiu did not dare to lead the army south.
Now as soon as Goguryeo is broken, the Khitan was beaten like a dog by Guo Xiaoke in the Huoershen grassland, and fled to the area of Hanhai (now Hulunbuir Lake). And Bai Fei, the three tribes of the Xi clan are even more afraid to speak up now.
The allies were constantly being broken, the Turks were increasingly isolated in the steppe, and the Turkic top brass was not aware of the vigilance. Many aristocratic leaders even coveted the life of Huaihuang Town and Yuyi Town, and secretly bought houses in the two places to enjoy the life of drunken gold. Seeing the profits of trade, many Turkic tribesmen also organized caravans to travel back and forth between Saiwai and Youjing. Many of these caravans were led by the heads of various departments, and they made a lot of profits in them.
In this case, in the event of a war between the Turks and the Great Zhao, these assets will undoubtedly be lost. The Turks are going back to the days of looting. Therefore, whenever the Khan of Chuluo mentioned the southern expedition at the conference, he would be fiercely opposed by the heads of the tribes, which was unprecedented, and even the Khan, who was so strong in Chuluo, was forced to change his views and obey the will of the chiefs.
Zhao Deyan also lamented that the Qin and Han dynasties spent millions of troops and countless money and grains failed to conquer the grassland, but Li Chongjiu did it in just ten years.
Ashina sighed at the decline of the Turks, looking at the people of Youjing who were traveling at night outside the streets, those Zhao people who were talking and high-spirited, and he couldn't help but have a gloomy feeling in his heart. In the long run, the sharp teeth and claws of the Turks will be degraded because they no longer hunt, and once that day comes, Zhao can take back all the money given to the Turks at any time.
At that time, the Turks, who do not have sharp teeth and claws, will they still be able to beat the Han Chinese?
Bang!
Bang!
There was a sudden noise of gongs and drums around the periphery, and it turned out that the Zhao people picked up the bamboo tube, loaded it with nitrate and the like, and exploded. The sound of the bang provoked the uneasy cries of the mules and horses, but the people enjoyed the moment very much, and the children clapped their hands and sang songs in the middle of the parade of the hundred opera artists, as if they were celebrating a festival.
Ashina was overwhelmed, and at this moment, the Zhao people were immersed in the joy of Zhao Guoda's defeat of Goguryeo. From the emperor to the people, the national strength is booming.
The bow of the battleship split the waves, sailing on the vast sea, the battle flag of Zhao Zi hunted and moved, and hundreds of large ships marched forward with full sails, and the bow of the ship went west. A black coastline can be seen in the distance.
At this moment, Li Chongjiu was on the deck, looking into the distance. The waves came, and the bow of the ship splashed and fell on the deck like rain.
Li Chongjiu's cloak was slightly wet, and there was a strong salty smell on his body.
"Your Majesty, it's Dengzhou ahead."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "I know, the order will go down, and the fleet will advance along the coast and dock in Ye County, Donglai County." ”
"Ye County? Didn't you go to the mouth of the Sanchakou River and land on the shore to return to Youjing? Cheng Mingzhen couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Li Chongjiu smiled slightly and said: "That's right, everyone thought that I would finish Goguryeo and return to Youjing, but they would never have thought that I did not go to Youjing, but led the army to Deng6 in Ye County, and together with Xu Shiji and Song Jingang, they attacked the Tang army in Shandong!"
