378 Chapter 378 We've Been Pretending
"Great victory! Great victory! β
"Nansan Victory!"
"Destroy 200,000 enemies! 100,000 captured enemies! β
"Nansang Governor's Mansion is a great victory!"
"300,000 soldiers are lost in the big food! The two major naval fleets are finished! β
β¦β¦
The crisp voice of the newsboy resounded in the streets of the various squares.
The official newspaper of the empire is sent from the printing bureau of the official newspaper to the square pavilion of each square in Chang'an at 5 o'clock in the morning every day, and after the newspaper boy gets the newspaper from the square pavilion, the practice is to sell it at three times from the beginning of the Mao Zheng of the hundred officials to the end of the food market, but today from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock the figure of the newspaper boy running on the street has not been broken, and the newspaper has taken batch after batch from the square pavilion, and the diners who did not buy the newspaper in the past and the pedestrians who left early could not help but take out the ten small bills and shout when they heard the sound of the "300,000" report: "Have a copy!" After the first banknote was issued four years ago from the imperial court, the people are accustomed to using paper money for daily travel, which is much lighter than carrying a bag of copper coins, Although it is just a fluttering piece of paper in the hand, But the reputation of the Tang Dynasty is very high, The decrees promulgated have always been counted, saying that paper money is money, a penny is a penny is not ambiguous, and the banknote will always be able to exchange for a thousand copper coins will not be discounted, and this banknote is tough and smooth to the touch, The double-sided printing is exquisite and picturesque, and there is also a magic circle embedded with aggregate light energy for anti-counterfeiting, In short, it sounds precious, when the silver number is exchanged, it is simply crowded, when the exchange is out, everyone touches it as a treasure and shines in the sun to see the image that emerges inside is reluctant to spend it, there is a powerful feeling that one is to throw a magic circle, It is said that the big families have collected many sets of banknotes of all denominations for the first time, because it is said that the banknote will change the avatar after 20 years of issuance, I heard that for these avatars, the Confucian and Taoist soldiers have quarreled with each other, such as the "ten texts" that are often paid for newspapers The small bill is the portrait of the soldier saint Sun Wu, oh, it is especially suitable for buying a newspaper for today's victory.
The red letter on the front page is the announcement of the victory.
Three...... 300,000?! Aha!
The eyes of the people who read the newspaper widened, and then they laughed wildly, and those who laughed the most must have bought a lot of war bonds, and the straight road was well played! The Navy is mighty! Our Datang is mighty! When it comes to one's own purse bag and the glory of the empire, it must be mighty.
It's about like a spring breeze greening the south bank of the Yangtze River overnight, and the people of the entire Tang Empire are all hot and jubilant within a few days.
The Tang Dynasty often wins, and there is no shortage of good news in battles, but in a battle, 300,000 enemies were destroyed - not defeated and repulsed, but killed and captured - this is a very rare major achievement, no wonder the subjects of the whole empire are boiling, and this sense of pride can go to heaven.
Not to mention the jubilation of the people, many people keenly discovered one thing after reading the newspaper - the empire's victory speed this time was too fast!
β¦β¦
Xiao Yan and Shen Qingyi were also reading the newspaper.
This is the early morning of June 16, after the two of them have finished breakfast, it is customary to go for a walk outside the court to eat, and then go back to the study to read the newspaper to understand the news, and then Xiao Yan sent Shen Qingyi to the Danfang, and the afternoon is the time for the two to visit the mountains and rivers.
Today's official newspaper headline is set of red - only the great victory of the army, the National Day of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the saint's birthday, and the beginning of the year The saint's New Year's congratulatory New Year's words to the subjects of the whole empire will be titled in Zhu characters, and today's title is Nansang Victory...... After reading the victory announcement side by side, the two raised their eyes and looked at each other, both with a look of surprise.
Xiao Yan said: "The great victory on June 15, and the victory in the official newspaper on June 16, this is unreasonable." β
The Kaixia Mansion of the Nansang Governor's Mansion is more than 100,000 miles away from Chang'an, and there are still 100,000 miles of sea area, and the great victory on the afternoon of June 15 was published in the official newspaper at the latest in the middle of the night.
It's not that Chang'an can't receive the news in time: a congenital mage of the Witch Sacrifice Court must have a divine sense mark with the congenital of the Crane Mansion, and the good news is just a flash of thought; Second, Kaixia Mansion must have a communication array, as long as you are willing to fill the spar, you can send the information to the communication station of the Daming Palace and the Privy Capital Staff Department in a timely manner, and the transmission speed depends on how many levels the communication speed of the circle is opened, Xiao Yan heard his father say that the fastest transmission from the Nanda Dongzhou Governor's Mansion to the Privy Capital Staff Division is three minutes, but the amount of spar filled at one time is enough to make the secretary of the Energy Division heartache for several months, if the Kaixia Mansion is willing to get the flower crystal, it is not impossible to send back the good news immediately; But this kind of remote full-speed transmission has regulations, it must be a Class A urgent and important matter, and the victory of Nansang is a major victory, but there is no need to spend a huge amount of spars to report the success, right? - King Deng shouldn't be such an unsuccessful person, right?
Xiao Yan and Shen Qingyi were first surprised by this.
Second, in the tradition of announcing victory through the official report of the imperial court, it is generally six to ten days after the victory before the newspaper is published.
Because after Chang'an received the victory from the front, it would give the front line time to report the victory, and the soldiers would gallop to Chang'an from the fast horses of the soldiers one after another, that is, the traditional Lubu report - Xiao Yan felt that the imperial court did not abolish this time-consuming, laborious and material way of reporting the victory, which should have political and military considerations, such as the symbol of the bloody battle of the soldiers, and such as inspiration, which is much stronger than the quiet words on the official newspaper.
But now, the Lubu Baojie soldiers sent by the Nansang Governor's Mansion should still be galloping on the land of Africa, right? ββFrom Kaixia Mansion to the southern port, it will take half a day to ride a horse along the official road, not to mention it?
The official report has already announced to Nansang, what's going on?
β¦β¦ In short, it is not in line with the consistent practice of the imperial court.
Shen Qingyi pondered for a while, and said with clear eyes: "The imperial court doesn't need to hide its clumsiness. β
She used an idiom as an analogy.
Xiao Yan's tone was a little surprised, "Is it clumsy to hide? He seemed to understand something, and his eyes were thoughtful.
Shen Qingyi continued to read the newspaper and said: "I used to wonder why the imperial court wanted to keep Lubu Baojie, just from the point of view of inspiration, although it is stronger than the newspaper, but the scope of 'along the way' is too narrow. β
"I didn't understand it before, but when I went to the battlefield myself, I understood a little," Xiao Yan said seriously, "This should be a tradition." β
Just like eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, people may not be commemorating Dr. Qu, this is a festival tradition, which has become the content of the Tang Dynasty civilization, which contains the beautiful content of the festival and patriotic feelings, and is the spiritual wealth of a country.
Therefore, Lubu reported the victory, and the soldiers galloped for thousands of miles without dismounting with the red cloth that wrote the battle record, representing the blood, heroism, and perseverance of the soldiers...... This is Xiao Yan's thoughts after experiencing the battlefield, the red cloth held by Lu Bu Baojie in the Tang Dynasty Army was originally intercepted by the Zhu Banner dyed with the blood of soldiers on the battlefield, and some of them were sewn from several broken flags one after another.
"Hmm!" Shen Qingyi nodded seriously in response to her, "Tradition in the army, this should be a reason." After a pause, he said, "In addition to this reason, the imperial court should give the outside world a perception that Datang's long-distance communication has not yet broken through the trap of the magic circle." β
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and the Wanli instant messaging array became a disgusted "trap" in Qingyi's mouth.
She couldn't help but bend her eyebrows, thinking of the "burning money" of the magic circle, which was indeed a problem that had not been solved in two hundred years; But what does it mean to hear clearly, ......?
Shen Qingyi said: "I think that the imperial court should have solved this technical problem, and only need to spend a small amount of spars, or use other technologies that do not require spars, so that the communication between the empire and the world can be reached within one day." At least, the Jing'an Division and the Privy Council Military Intelligence System can do it. Not to mention the intelligence transmission of spy personnel, only overseas governance, if the transmission of official documents takes several months or even more than half a year to have a round trip, it is difficult for the imperial court to achieve accurate control of the overseas governor's office, you must know that the emperor is far away, and the things that are bullied are as far away from the central government as possible, but the control of the Chang'an court over overseas governance is really amazing. β
This kind of long-distance control reflects the strength of the central court of the Tang Dynasty in the control of government affairs, and the foundation of this is that there must be an administrative real-time feedback system. With today's communication systems, it's not easy to do β at least not on the surface.
Of course, this kind of thing is not something that Shen Qingyi can see alone.
And when he thought of this, he immediately thought of the Jing'an Division, which supervised the emperor's interior and foreign countries, and there must be a grandmaster who was specially responsible for communication, and it would only take a few days for the grandmaster of the Dongzhen Realm to cross the ocean by light boat, and it would be faster on land, and their existence ensured Chang'an's accurate grasp of the situation in the territory at home and abroad - this is one of them. Second, of course, the Imperial Energy Division has a lot of money and can supply a large number of hedrons for long-distance communication arrays.
Shen Qingyi said: "Before, the imperial court's control of overseas was indeed with the help of the grandmaster of Jing'an Division. It is precisely because of this that the leap in communication technology of the institute has been hidden for so long. In other words, the imperial court refrigerated some advanced technologies and released them when the time was ripe. "Just like the medicine hall's research on pharmacy, isn't it also that a lot of things have been refrigerated?
She said in a cold voice: "Just like this Nansong naval battle, the power of the imperial court's naval guns has leaped so much at once, from the curve of technological progress, this is unreasonable." Her thin fingers drew a slowly rising curve in the newspaper.
Xiao Yan's eyes moved with her fingers, reached out and touched it, and said, "Why didn't you see long meat." β
Shen Qingyi glanced at her speechlessly, "Seriously." β
"I'm serious." Xiao Yan held her finger and smiled, and said with a hmm, "So, the court is hiding, well, clumsy; And now, no need to hide? β¦β¦ It should be like this," she suddenly understood, and thought about it, "Look at the battlefield of Yan Zhou, when we first fought Yan Zhou, we used the first generation of artillery and fire. guns, and later negotiated with Oghuz, and the first generation of guns was supplied to the Oghuz army, and we replaced them with second-generation guns; After that, it was the third generation...... Just like the tactics of adding oil, our armament is going up step by step, and Euroton and the Holy See can only increase their troops, especially the increase in the mage regiment and the increase in magic weapons, because ordinary soldiers and ordinary equipment can't withstand our artillery fire......" she said and couldn't help admiring, "The court's concealment technology is really, really, amazing." "I didn't let the intelligence agencies of the four empires touch the edge.
β¦β¦
At the time when the elders of the Heavenly Garden had a deep understanding, the popes and cardinals of the Holy See had already scolded the Tang people more than once.
Insidious! Cunning! Vile! Shameless! β¦β¦
And so on, countless fierce expressions.
If Emperor Gaozong was still alive, they would definitely be willing to throw a forbidden spell like "Bright Judgment" to her.
The northwest battlefield of Yan Zhou has become a quagmire, deeply trapped in them. Artillery fire appeared at the beginning of the Don Army. The gun only surprised them a little, but did not pay much attention to it, because the power was limited and the conditions of use were also limited; However, as the war deepened, the regiment commanders and mage regiments on the Yan Zhou front were almost vomiting blood...... The armament of the Tang Army has been upgraded on the battlefield, right?! It was indeed upgraded, and the Tang Army rose from the first generation of guns to the fifth generation of guns as if testing weapons on the battlefield...... The fifth-generation field cannon can travel twenty or thirty miles away with one shot, which is comparable to the long-range attack of a grandmaster-level mage, and as long as there is a supply of shells, the cannon does not have the problem of mage mana exhaustion, how can this be fought? How to fight?
Of course, the weapons of the Don Army could not have been suddenly upgraded!
This is the cunning of the Dons! Cunning!
It is clearly a cover of strength!
However, after the Emperor of Euroton and the Pope of the Holy See received the military report from the front, they all remained silent about it, completely concealed the information, and did not feed back the weapon upgrade of the Tang Army to the Great Eclipse at all.
- On the battlefield of Anxi, the Great Food Army has been fighting tepidly with the Tang Army, which is obviously to make them fight with the Holy See and the Tang-Ukrainian coalition army to defeat both sides, and then exert their strength...... Hmph, you have to let the big cannibal taste the deep pain, so that we can talk about cooperation more sincerely.
Therefore, the fiasco of the Great Food was caused by Datang, Euroton, and the Holy See.
When Emperor Charleman and the Holy See's Pope received the information about the battles of Bipto and Barbane, a sneer appeared in the depths of their eyes.
Now, it's time to talk about cooperation with Dashi "sincerely".
