Everything is coming step by step according to the script, the script designed by Suning has no problem in theory or practice, according to the original idea, Issam became a hero, an indisputable hero, when the army was losing and retreating and could not see tomorrow, Issam appeared alone in front of the Tang army, with fearless courage and incorruptible tongue and loyalty to the country, persuaded the Tang army to retreat, and let the Tang army return all the territory, and even made the Tang army feel impressed - Otherwise, how could Issam be appointed as the sole point of contact?

Isam became a hero throughout the Persian court, and those advisers who escaped became standard bears, and soon, the walls fell down, the trees fell and scattered, and the court officials who smelled the standard smell began to do what they did best - reversing black and white, and for a while, the advisory group that was once advertised as "loyal and patriotic" and "diligent" was quickly reversed and became a traitor, and Isam, who had always been ridiculed as a "good person", was instantly praised as a hero by everyone, Issam was unanimously requested to assume the position of Chief Adviser to the Advisory Panel.

The little emperor was very satisfied, and he also felt uneasy about the use of Isam to save face in the Persian Empire, after all, Issam was his courtier from childhood to adulthood, and he sacrificed Issam for the sake of face, and he also felt very guilty in his heart, but he was confused by seven or eight advisers, and admitted this fact, and now the faces of these advisers are revealed, and when they need help the most, they all fled without exception......

Only Issam remained by his side, only Issam, who was regarded as an outcast, rode alone, and stood in front of the invading soldiers of the Tang Dynasty army in the most critical situation, not hesitating to sacrifice his life. The commander of the Tang Dynasty finally admired the Tang people with his personal charm and strong courage, and finally withdrew from the army, although he lost more than 100,000 people, but the land was intact, although he had to lose a sum of money. But the land is complete, although it is a bit of a loss of face, but the land is complete.

So, when Issam returned to the court with a body full of exhaustion and dust, the little emperor burst into tears and immediately appointed Issam as the chief adviser of the Persian Empire Advisory Group. All must be in accordance with Isam's wishes, and anyone who doubts Issam's actions will be considered treason and then beheaded.

Only Issam is sincere to me, only he is genuinely for my good, and no one else can be trusted!

After this incident, the little emperor's heart has changed, and he no longer trusts anyone else. He now believes only in Issam alone, and he gives Issam the highest official position and the greatest power. Everything has to be discussed with Issam, Issam is very modest and does not want military power, as long as he manages government affairs and diplomacy, the little emperor has repeatedly asked to hand over military power to Issam, Issam resolutely does not accept, and the little emperor feels very helpless. He had to order that every time a military operation was to be conducted, Issam must be consulted before deciding.

Issam acted in a perfect play according to Suning's script, lines and costumes, and successfully obtained what he deserved, and Suning told him very clearly. As long as he does what he says, he will definitely be the first person in the Manchu Dynasty, and he doesn't have to worry about being suspicious of the emperor, of course, military power is resolutely unacceptable, as long as the regime and diplomatic management are fine, and you are also the designated liaison person of the Tang Dynasty, which means that you only accept the regime.

The emperor may be embarrassed, although you do not directly control the military power, but it is almost the same, this is an accident, this time the turmoil has not passed, you can also enjoy the flattery of officials for a long time, but, you have to pay attention, only a part of the aristocratic officials, many Persian people who know the inside story will hate you, you have to improve your own situation through your own governance, improve your reputation, the specific reason, you understand.

As for the handling of those who have fled eastward, for the reorganization of the army, for the improvement of conscription and military service, and for the resumption of production, what Datang needs to spend time doing, you had better do it now, lest Datang take over a devastated territory and hungry masses, and when the time is right, you will definitely be defeated by the rest of the officials, and what you have done has violated their fundamental interests.

At that time, it is the official beginning of the Persian collapse plan, you have to fully cooperate with the actions of the Tang Dynasty, take the initiative to give up resistance, promote the anger of those people who love you, and then promote the uprising, ignite the smoke of resistance, at that time, the Tang army will use the appropriate banner to help the Persians rebel against the rule of the Sassanid Dynasty, and then as the only spiritual sustenance of the Persian people, you have to announce the surrender of the Tang Dynasty, become the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty declares you the governor of the Persian District, and the plan is more than half completed.

As for the rest, it will have to wait until a few years later, and it is not something that can be considered now, all in all, do what I say, you can reach the top of your life, everyone will see you as a savior, you will be respected and loved by all the Persian masses, and your life will become brighter, is it still a little exciting?

Issam smiled bitterly, he finally understood where he and Persia had lost, the opponent was too strong, not at the same level of strength, and he even had reason to believe that the collapse of the Roman Empire, which had a strong historical origin, was only in twenty years, and it was only a matter of time before the Tang Empire became the real ruler of this vast territory.

When Issam was thinking about these things, Suning was also thinking about some issues, since ancient times, there have been many large empires with huge territories and large populations, but there are quite a few, but their rule cannot last long without exception, such as the representative Alexander Empire and the Mongol Empire, which span the Eurasian continent and tens of millions of square kilometers, but in just a dozen years, it has been divided and disappeared, the empire is very strong, the military is very strong, and there is no problem with the rule, why is it divided?

Judging by the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire into several khanates and the Yuan Dynasty of China, the problem of transportation was an insurmountable and strict problem, there was no problem with rule, no problem with troops, and no problem with the economy, but the great Mongol empire, which was at its peak, collapsed. What is the root cause of the split?

The territory is too huge, and the transportation technology is not up to par, and the edict of the emperor cannot be conveyed to the place where it should go for more than half a year, and the rule is simply unsustainable, and the emperor is far away. You don't know if you rebel, so naturally it collapses, splitting into several khanates and orthodox dynasties, the transportation technology is not up to par, but the territory is too large, and this is the end.

Compared with the British Empire, which used the navy and ships as the basic force to maintain its rule, the advent of the industrial revolution led to the explosive development of transportation technology, and the direct consequence of this development was a qualitative leap in the speed of transportation. In the early days, when communication technology was not yet mature, the British Empire relied on naval power and steam engines to maintain the rule of the "empire on which the sun never sets".

The Mongol Empire did not have a steam engine, so it collapsed, and the British Empire had a steam engine, so it succeeded, once, when the Great Qin Empire ruled the world. Considering the importance of transportation to the rule, the "Chi Road" was established. That was already the strongest technical ability of that era, and now, the territory of the Great Tang Dynasty far exceeds the territory of the Great Qin, so the problem of the difficulty of ruling has been highlighted, and this kind of problem, one hundred and twenty thousand war horses and fifty-eight galloping roads can not be completely solved.

The topic of "speeding up the means of transportation", which had already been raised during the period of Li Er's Majesty, was once again mentioned during the period of Li Chengqian's Chenghe. Fang Xuanling took the lead in informing the traffic problem, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry took the lead in studying the difficulty of new means of transportation, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, took the lead in the feasibility of developing new means of transportation based on gunpowder......

Everyone focused on Li Tai, the king of gunpowder, and after Li Chengqian ascended the throne, Li Tai's position was further consolidated. When Li Tai heard that the Ministry of Industry had said that it would be difficult to increase the speed of existing means of transportation and that it would be very difficult to develop them, he took the initiative to say that he would use gunpowder as a raw material to develop "a super vehicle as fast as the firing speed of artillery."

Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this, and rewarded Li Tai with countless money and goods, and Suning was scared when he heard about it, is this fucking planning to skip the steam engine and the electric motor and go directly into the rocket age? Or are you going to take a big stride and run into the Atomic Collider era?

Suning didn't know if Li Tai had such an idea because Suning used gunpowder as raw material to create fireworks to celebrate the holiday, and he got inspiration from the fireworks, but for Li Chengqian's simple request for speed, he thought of the huge impetus brought by the gunpowder explosion, but he just ignored the terrifying and destructive power behind such a driving force.

But Li Tai can think of this, Suning felt very surprised, although this is impossible, but it is a great hypothesis, the idea of rockets in the seventh century AD was put forward by Li Tai in the Tang Dynasty, what a great initiative this is? Li Tai's name will forever be engraved on the milestones of the history of Chinese science and technology.

Rockets are impossible, unrealistic, but Suning doesn't plan to pour cold water on Li Tai, after mobilizing 100,000 troops to solve the Persian incident, Suning rushed back to Chang'an City, met Li Tai directly, and said to him, using gunpowder as a raw material to make Zuò means of transportation, you have to think about how to avoid explosions, and simply use propulsion, but this is impossible, the reason why gunpowder has propulsion is because it will explode! And an explosion can destroy even a piece of iron, let alone any means of transportation......

Li Tai expressed regret that he ignored such an important issue, that gunpowder will explode, and that if it does not explode, the driving force is not enough, how can it generate enough power? This is obviously impractical, but just when Li Tai was depressed, Suning put forward an important point - when the gunpowder explodes, it will produce high temperature and gunsmoke, and we will feel the scorching air waves, which seems to be very powerful, and this feeling seems to be the same as when boiling hot water and when the water vapor is blowing in the face!

Li Tai quickly carried out the real yàn, and found that when the water boiled, there would be a scorching water vapor spurt, if the lid was not opened, the water vapor would desperately surge up until the lid was opened, this force seemed to be getting stronger and stronger with more and more water vapor, more and more useful, and more importantly, it would not explode!

It seems that Li Tai has some clues, he pondered and drove Suning out of his real base, Suning sighed, and finally pulled Li Tai's research from the rocket age back to the steam age, so that Li Tai can correctly lead the development of Datang science and technology, and not because of the early birth of gunpowder, and the guided zhì rocket was also born in advance......

However, at this important juncture, Sanyuan County, on the outskirts of Chang'an City, suddenly had a big event that shocked the whole Tang Dynasty, although this matter is very big and shocking, but it has not changed the direction of the entire Tang Empire, the Tang Empire is still prosperous, step by step to the peak, but this incident has forever changed the direction of Suning alone, at least decades later, Suning looks back on the past, and thinks so. (To be continued......)
