Chapter 169: National Symbols Are Indispensable

"Very good. Not only did I get compensation for the suffering people, but also weakened the strength of this Khan called Hezi, increased the number of troops and horses for our dynasty, and pinched his neck and did not dare to move, so that it would not be long before this tribe could be divided and dismantled, all for my use. "These days, what is expensive, human resources are the most expensive, fighting a war is to kill people, and it is not harmful for us to have more foreign mercenaries.

"Hehehe, the old man likes these fresh words said by the virtuous son-in-law, what the old man wants from him, he has to give, as long as it doesn't touch his bottom line, even if the old man wants his mother-in-law, wife and children, he will still send it obediently." Uncle Li is obscene, and he is embarrassed to say such words, so we can only laugh and say hello vigorously, and express my contempt for the bad behavior of this old man in my heart.

"I don't want to think about it, if he doesn't follow the old man's wishes, where does he want to run as a little khan? Xue Yantuo's department is in the back, to the east? Hmph, the chestnut is waiting to pinch his neck, to the west? Hmph, if he wasn't afraid of being swallowed by the Western Turks, who were starving and wanted to eat people, he would have gone a long time ago. The old man just expected that he would not be able to leave, so he could only stay here, at this time, if we didn't grind him something, wouldn't it be too cheap for him. "Uncle Li, the head of Tang militarism, is ruthless, and he doesn't dare to hang anything as a little khan who has fled from place to place. Western Turkistan? Why don't you change your name to East Turkistan, it sounds more pleasing to the ear and can be more sympathetic to the enemy.

After the painting was finished, Uncle Li appreciated it with great satisfaction, and was about to call someone to take it and frame it and hang it in his own room to admire, so frightened that I hurriedly copied it: "Father-in-law, it's not good, my little nephew has been to you for this thing I don't know how many times, and I am still waiting for this thing to be of great use." ”

"Oh? Last time, the old man heard you say this, but can the old man's portrait really be as effective as you said? ”

"Of course, just like the national flag and national emblem, it can greatly encourage the cohesion and centripetal force of the nation." I am very serious, even if it is useless, it is not bad to leave it at home and leave it to future generations to see, and we can be regarded as doing a good thing for the country and the people.

"Flags and coats of arms?" Uncle Li sat down next to me and winked curiously. The ancestors are a plank, why did you leak the stuffing again?

"The little nephew just wants to tell His Majesty about this." No matter what, a country can't do without its own flag and national emblem, especially in a prosperous era like Datang that makes the Chinese people proud. As for the national anthem, we will make new remarks in the future, but that thing can't be made up now, so let's make up the national anthem of later generations? Unless my son is tired of living and wants to be cut by Uncle Li with a thousand knives.

"My Datang is a more abstract concept, everyone knows that living in the arms of Datang, under the rule of your uncle, but...... How to say it, for example, heaven and earth, everyone points up with their fingers, and they all know that it is the sky, and what we step on is the earth, but what kind of wind is it? "I put my hand behind my back and put the painting in my sleeve, I was afraid that Uncle Li would quietly steal our masterpiece again.

"Wind?" Uncle Li wondered, why is the world that he has beaten down so ethereal? It seems that he doesn't want to be looked down upon by our young man, Uncle Li smashed his mouth for a long time, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and his eyes flashed: "Heaven and earth are yin and yang, wind, thunder, fire and electricity are all indulged by the gods, so the wind is the incarnation of the wind god, just like the rain has a rain master, the thunder has a thunder gong, the fire has a fire god, and the lightning has an electric mother, I don't know if the old man explained it properly?" "The more Uncle Li talks, the more agreeable he becomes, and when he finishes speaking, he squeezes his eyes at me very proudly, what's the matter, you are young and can't be difficult for me.

"Uncle's solution is really Gao Jian'er." Saluted, looked at Uncle Li with a very admiring gaze, and patted the sycophants first, proving that Uncle Li's argument of anthropomorphizing the wind was correct-

"Hehe, the virtuous son-in-law's words, I'm afraid there is a doorway inside." Uncle Li squinted and smiled, and the old man seemed to have heard the doorway. "I have gone around myself, I want to be in the Tang Dynasty, open up and expand the land, such a great cause, compared to the Qin and Han dynasties, and then ......" Uncle Li frowned slightly: "Datang, where is the Tang Dynasty, the land under your feet, the sky above your head, although the people of Datang know that they are in the domain of the Tang Dynasty, but also, the old man feels a little suspenseful, and the virtuous son-in-law also makes sense, come quickly." ”

"Yes, the little nephew thinks that the twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty have military flags, which is a benefit, the military flag is the symbol of a country's army, and it is the honor of an army. As long as the military flag stands there, countless hot-blooded soldiers will throw their heads and shed their blood to defend it. ”

Uncle Li's eyes fell on somewhere in the distance, and he seemed to be recalling his past career as a horseman: "Military flag! Yes, I think back then, my Tang elite division for the destruction of the pseudo-emperor Shichong, lasted half a year of hard fighting, Dou Jiande led 100,000 troops to help, my father and brother are afraid of it, I returned to the division, the old man has been a horse all his life, Wang Shichong has also been the power of the palm, if you retreat at this time, I don't know how many years to postpone when the Tang Dynasty unified the country, the old man had no choice, he disobeyed his fate, and ordered my brother Yuanji to lead the army to continue to trap Luoyang, and the king led more than 3,000 fine horsemen to the tiger prison to meet the army of 100,000 Dou Division......"

Uncle Li's eyes became more and more intense, his hands were clenched into fists, his tiger eyes were slightly open, and the light was terrifying, it seemed that he had completely fallen into the memories of the past, and even the self-proclaimed king had changed into this king, and Uncle Li at that time must have been a fierce general.

Hearing the heavy breath behind him, he turned his head, lean, scared me, Zhao Kun over there was panting like a cow, his eyes were blood-red, his face was hideous, it seemed that this product was also one of the elites who participated in the war that year, and he must have died with Uncle Li's birth I don't know how many times, otherwise, how could he be Uncle Li's most trusted guard leader. Don't look at him, turn your head to look out the window, lest you have nightmares at night.

"This king led more than 3,500 elite cavalry and more than 10 generals, and he was in danger of blocking Dou Jiande's army in the tiger prison. The Dou army was blocked from entering, and the army's morale was in danger...... On the second day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Wude, this king still clearly remembers that Dou was in a formation for more than 20 miles, the drums were noisy, and the murderous spirit was rushing into the sky, forcing our army to ......" The corners of Uncle Li's mouth curved, and a hideous sneer floated: "This king ordered the sergeants to hold out." From dawn to noon, no battles were allowed, and the Dou soldiers were hungry and tired, and sat down to fight for water. At this time, the prince led five hundred elite horses, wearing armor and holding a lance and commanding the generals Shi Danai, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao, Yu Wenxin and other elites went straight into the enemy formation, my handsome banner arrived, the Dou army all shouted and abandoned their weapons and collapsed, no matter how many lines of defense the Dou army formed, under my banner, there is no shortage of sharp soldiers who cut through thorns...... "Uncle Li's rap art is very vivid, I heard my blood boiling, think about it, five hundred people, to rush and kill the entire 200,000 enemy army, how much courage and determination does it take to do it, the battle on the battlefield is not like my lip service." , that's the work of drawing a knife and playing with life, the white knife goes in, and the red knife comes out. With 3,500 elite horsemen and 100,000 enemies, it is no wonder that Uncle Li can be so proud, although there are various factors in it, but no one has to admire the iron will and courage of this Uncle Li.

After a long time, Uncle Li woke up from the bloody and tragic battlefield memories, glanced at me, and smiled a little tiredly: "When people get old, they like to think back to the ...... of the past."

"Uncle is more than 40 years old, he is in the prime of life, and the power of holding a bow and catching a tiger and shooting a bear is still there, how can he be said to be old." To tell the truth, not long after I met Uncle Li, who was pretending to be a prince last winter, this guy personally shot a giant bear.

"Hehe......" Uncle Li was very pleased with my compliment, patted me on the shoulder to show friendship, Zhao Kun, who had been making up wood behind me, looked at me with great reverence, nonsense, who would dare to brag and fart with Uncle Li like this son. Sometimes you can still drink the Tang Emperor around, of course, it's just when you paint portraits, and we don't dare to talk nonsense at other times-

"Oh? Seriously? "Uncle Lee's eyes began to light up as he listened to me explain the benefits of establishing his own flag and emblem for the country.

"Of course, a country, a great empire, in addition to abstract concepts, must also have an intuitive, self-explanatory form of things, the national flag and national emblem are the products of the development of the times, and they are necessary!" I was unashamed to dance and shout in front of Uncle Li: "The national flag, it is a flag that symbolizes my Tang Empire, it represents the sovereignty and dignity of my Tang Dynasty, such as the festival used by envoys, it is a symbol of the country, an intuitive symbol." The national emblem represents the symbol of the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, and represents the military and people of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the world, and the people of all ethnic groups are united under the banner of the Tang Dynasty and work hard to create a new chapter in the Tang Empire......"

"Smack!" Uncle Li was so excited, his old face was red, he was panting like a cow, his eyes were ejaculating, and the red pen in his hand was broken by him.

"The national flag, the national emblem? National flag, national emblem! Good!!! "Shoot, Uncle Li, an extremely narcissistic old rascal, was excited, and slapped my son's body halfway, damn!
