What makes His Majesty unhappy is that he had an agreement with Zhang Yang in advance, and this time Zhang Yang guessed correctly, this monk Xuanzang is really unwilling to return to the vulgar, which is the reason why His Majesty is unhappy.

The monk stood in place for a long time, and then left with a sad face.

At this moment in Dunhuang, Shazhou, Xuanzang looked at dozens of monks standing in front of the Buddha statues in the Dunhuang dojo.

He remembered what the old Tibetan man said, and some of his understanding of Zhang Yang gradually became clear.

During that time in Tibet, it was the most relaxing and comfortable for him.

In Shazhou, more and more Buddhist disciples came to visit Xuanzang, and even many monks wanted to be his disciples.

There was an old monk beside Xuanzang, who was the presiding officer of Shengguang Temple back then.

Hearing that Shengguang Temple collapsed overnight, Xuanzang recited a Buddha name in his heart, and said in a low voice: "This matter must not be a celestial warning, it was done by a thief." ”

"I've also sent someone to investigate, this matter is too strange, and there are no clues yet."

The speaker was the presiding officer of Katsukoji Temple that year.

Xuanzang said in a low voice: "Did Bopo really see Zhang Yang before he passed away?" ”

Speaking of Bo Po is Xuanzang's guide, this Tianzhu monk gave Xuanzang guidance, and Xuanzang went to the Western Regions in the third year of Zhenguan.

The presiding officer of Shengguang Temple looked pious, "He went to see the Buddha first, and he left some words before he passed away." ”

Xuanzang sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, facing the desolate Shazhou and whispered, "What did Bopo say?" ”

"Bo Po Yuan said before, you are the cause now, he Zhang Yang is the effect, things in this world are always mutually reinforcing, Zhang Yang is a very firm person, Xuanzang you are also a firm person, now Zhang Yang's position in the court is becoming more and more important, and your return to Xuanzang must be difficult."

"So Bopo's words before his death have been fulfilled, Xuanzang." After a pause, the old monk continued: "This entry into the customs has been obstructed like this, which is enough to show Bopo's good intentions, I knew it was ......."

"What if you knew this was the case?" Xuanzang asked rhetorically.

The old monk quieted down and said nothing.

Xuanzang was wearing a tattered monk's robe, the wind blew the thin monk's robe, closed his eyes and whispered: "Bopo is already an outsider, he will not participate in ordinary things, nor will he obstruct the cause and effect of others, as it should be, let the poor monk face this suffering by himself." ”

The old monk said: "Many people say that if Zhang Yang is in the Central Plains, the temple will be difficult to prosper. ”

Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name again, and began to chant the scriptures with a flat expression, and there were many craftsmen painting portraits on the stone wall in the distance, which made many monks unconsciously awe-inspired.

In his heart, Xuanzang was very puzzled, he didn't understand a lot of things, why Bo Po had to meet Zhang Yang before he passed away, and what did he say to Zhang Yang.

Monk Bopo and Xuanzang are like teachers, just because of his advice, Xuanzang went out of the customs all the way to the west, went to the Buddhist scriptures brought by Tianzhu, and almost lost his life.

's different feelings for Bopo made Xuanzang never understand what is important about Zhang Yang and what is this Zhang Yang going to do?

Why do so many monks regard this person as an enemy of life and death?

The Central Plains received another letter, and His Majesty once again refused Xuanzang's entry.

Xuanzang also simply stayed in Dunhuang and continued to compile the scriptures.

In the Hexi Corridor, Di Zhixun looked at the military newspaper in front of him and was overjoyed.

Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, and Wang Xuance broke the 300,000 army of the Great Cannibal, repelled the Great Cannibal, and recovered the Persian royal capital, presiding over the affairs of Persia.

This is the first battle between Datang and Dashi.

"Victorious! Win! Datang wins! Di Zhixun happily handed over this military report to the official post, and the official post quickly sent the letter to Chang'an City.

Now that Di Renjie is nine years old, he looked at his father's happy appearance and asked curiously: "Dad, has this military newspaper written anything else?" ”

Di Zhixun smiled and stroked his beard and said: "The old man has read it, and there are only more than 100 words, and what he said is the results of the battle. ”

Di Renjie frowned and said: "Father, how can the 10,000 Anxi army and the 20,000 Gaochang people fight the big cannibals, only 30,000 soldiers and horses against ten times the army, I am afraid there is another reason for this battle." ”

Di Zhixon knew that his son was intelligent, and he smiled and said: "Renjie, you are good at guessing, but you must also know the people's hearts and the current situation. ”

Di Ren's masterpiece said: "It doesn't matter how Dad wins, as long as this battle is won, no one will ask how to win." ”

Dickinson nodded slightly.

Di Renjie said again: "If you lose, there will be many people who will ask the reason for the loss. ”

Di Zhisen held the back of his son's head, "Things in this world are very complicated, and sometimes right and wrong are not so simple. ”

Seeing that he was still puzzled, Di Zhixun said again: "There are some things that your father can't teach you, and when you grow up in the future, you will have more things to face, and you won't need to learn the truth." ”

Di Renjie nodded discouragedly.

Di Zhixon will continue to preside over the mutual market and construction of the Hexi Corridor, Jiayuguan is a large and atmospheric pass, this city pass can be compared to the Hangu Pass in the pass, after three years of construction, it has begun to take shape at this moment, the majestic pass, people look up.

This is the pass that Zhang Yang admonished, His Majesty approved, and supervised by the DPRK.

Di Zhixun has a pride in his heart, looking at the world except for the Central Plains people, who can create such a majestic pass?

At most, this Xiongguan can be built in two years, and then the Tang Dynasty will have a place to control the troops of the Hexi Corridor, and completely control the Hexi Corridor, so that it will also master the throat of the Western Regions, and it can enter the Turks in the north, and directly attack the Western Regions in the west.

The Persian war report entered Longyou Road from the Hexi Corridor until it was delivered to Chang'an City.

Li Shimin looked at the military newspaper with a happy expression, "Okay!" Good! Good! ”

His Majesty said three good things in a row, and 30,000 soldiers and horses repelled 300,000 soldiers and horses.

Looking at the generals of the DPRK and China, who dares to speak out, using 30,000 soldiers and horses to repel 300,000 troops?

Cheng Biting Jin said that one or two thousand soldiers could sweep away Tibet, and everyone regarded it as a joke.

But the current battle report only feels a little weird.

Li Shimin couldn't help nodding, "Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance!" When they return, I will reward them greatly. ”

This is the most proud battle of the Tang people since His Majesty became the Khan of Heaven, and 30,000 soldiers and horses can defeat 300,000 people, what a record this is.

In the rumors of the Western Regions, the invincible cannibal was finally folded in the hands of the Tang people.

This also made many small countries around Datang tremble after hearing the news, and hurriedly stepped up the construction of Tiankhan Avenue.

The Uighurs also began to be canonized honestly, ready to do what the Tang wanted, and to cross Lake Baikal in winter and explore further north.

At the court meeting of the Taiji Hall on this day, Li Shimin told the ministers of civil and military affairs about this matter.

Nowadays, there has always been a problem in the Wei Mansion, that is, the lack of military generals, and few people in the younger generation of Chang'an City, that is, the second generation of military generals, can have such a mantle.

And Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong and others all understand that it is no longer a troubled time, everyone has a knighthood and a hereditary lineage.

The children of the family do not need to rush to the battlefield, it is indeed a good thing that there are more young generals.

Although Pei Xingjian is a literati who entered the imperial examination, it is even more rare for a person who has both civil and military skills, and I don't want this person to be so effective in military strategy.

The chatter in the court went from loud to small to silent.

Pei Xingjian is an official of the Ministry of Rites, but now the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is still vacant, and since Zhang Yang moved to Lishan, this position has been missing in the court.

And the current leader of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jingzong, did not say a word in the court.

Qin Qiong stood up and reported to the court: "Your Majesty, the last general only repelled the big cannibal for this battle, and it is rumored that the big cannibal is arrogant, and he will definitely make a comeback, so he should send troops to help, and let Pei Xingjian be the commander of the Anxi army." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up for the court, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, Pei Xingjian is a civil minister, and he is an official of the Ministry of Rites, how can he receive the official position of the Wei Mansion." ”

As soon as the words came out, there was a quarrel in the court, Pei Xingjian is a civil official, he is indeed a civil official, or a genuine imperial examination.

With such a young general, of course Li Shimin is also willing, but how could such a young leader be taken down by Zhang Yang.

And Pei Xingjian was just a small Chaosanlang in the Ministry of Rites, and was later sent by Zhang Yang to serve as the protector of the Western Regions.

Not to mention these, Pei Xingjian's talent alone was enough to make the people in the court red, and he also formed the Anxi Army, and led the group of stragglers in the Western Regions to fight back.

In this way, looking at the surroundings of the Central Plains, who would dare to disobey the Tang Dynasty.

Even the Tang Emperor, who is now sitting on the throne, is thinking about whether he should consider Zhang Yang's words carefully, and send more people out to fight and expand.

In front of him, a group of courtiers quarreled endlessly for Pei Xingjian alone, and when the generals saw that he could lead troops to fight, they naturally wanted to enter the Wei Mansion and become generals in the future.

But Pei Xingjian has entered the imperial examination again, and his literary style and strategy are also good, and the civil officials will naturally not let go of such a young man, how can they sit back and watch this person enter the Wei Mansion.

In the Taiji Palace, there were endless quarrels, Li Shimin looked at everyone with a headache, and said: "This matter can be discussed later, and the court will be withdrawn." ”

The ministers saluted in unison, and after His Majesty left, the civil officials led by the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin and others led by the military generals quarreled again.

A few people from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly left.

Zhang Daxiang walked to the side and frowned, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly." ”

Xu Jingzong said again: "Persia is a long way away, this is the war report of last winter, and I don't know when the next war report will arrive." ”

The situation is indeed like this, Pei Xingjian and others now occupy the Persian royal capital, and I don't know what their situation is at the moment, the road is far away, and it will take three or two months just to report to the army.

Not to mention rushing to help, at the moment they are alone, and everything can only be relied on themselves.

The DPRK and China are already beyond the reach of the whip, and the only one who can maintain some contact with them at the moment is the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Zhang Daxiang said again: "Do you want to send the news to Zhang Shangshu?" ”

Xu Jingzong explained: "The news was sent over yesterday. ”

Zhang Dasu's expression was solemn, "If it weren't for the serious illness of my father, the lower officials would be willing to go to the Anxi Protectorate, and they could deal with Pei Xingjian, who was far away in Persia." ”

The three of them walked out of Chengtianmen, and Zhang Daxiang said again: "Nanzhao recently sent news, saying that there were bandits, Dasu, you go and talk to Nanzhao's envoy." ”

"Whoa." Dasu hurried away.

Xu Jingzong glanced at Zhang Daxiang, "Brother Elephant, don't worry, now there is no shortage of manpower in the Ministry of Rites, and I will send someone to Pei Xingjian to send help, and it is good to give some food and food." ”

Zhang Daxiang was the only one who could not rest assured that the two younger brothers in the family, as well as the illness of his father at home, the situation in Goguryeo became more and more severe, and he was more worried about Da'an, which was far away in Liaodong.

On Lishan, Zhang Yang, the Persian war report, just glanced at it, and put it down in his heart.

At the moment, he was busy in his own workshop, Zhang Yang stepped on the pedal, and the bearing began to rotate, and with the continuous pedaling, the bearing rotated faster and faster, and the flywheel on the bearing was also rotating.

As the flywheel spins faster and faster, it becomes harder to pedal.

This kind of pedal flywheel lathe is indeed recorded in history, but it is not clear when it appeared.

Zhang Yang took a small piece of iron, fixed it on a mold, and slowly lowered the mold down, as the flywheel rubbed against the iron sheet, some sparks would be splashed.

Do not last more than three minutes at a time, beware of the flywheel cracking due to overheating.

The center of the iron block was polished into an arc, and I tried the depth with a vernier caliper, but I felt that it was not enough, so I continued to polish it with a flywheel.

It's just a small part to polish the flintlock pistol.

For a part, a lathe was built.

The chamber is the biggest problem, but also the difficulty of manufacturing, the last time the flintlock pistol was not blown up, it was not bad, the violent high temperature directly burned the chamber.

This time the interior will be made of metal, at least it will be safer.

After the flywheel stops and turns, it has to sit idle for a while.

Li Zhi ran over quickly, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" Oh no, the royal sister said that they were going to fight the big cannibals too. ”

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, the army outside the gate reported, and the children were very enthusiastic, so he asked: "This is Guanzhong, where did the big cannibals come from to beat them." ”

Li Zhi said again: "Imperial Sister Gaoyang and Qinghe and Imperial Sister have already gone down the mountain. ”

Zhang Yang took off his cloth gloves, hurriedly walked out of the workshop, and went to the bottom of the mountain to look for a few palace maids, and sure enough, he found the two girls who were about to sneak out at the entrance of the village.

"Brother-in-law, we're going to fight the big cannibals!" Gao Yang said loudly.

Zhang Yang was carrying one in one hand and Qinghe in the other, "Who of you dares to say such things again in the future, I will never give you barbecue again." ”

"Brother-in-law! I'm going to war. Gao Yang struggled and said.

Zhang Yang glared at him with a straight face, and Gao Yang lowered his head aggrievedly.

Slip these two little girls up the mountain, and after putting them down, it was Li Yue who gave them a few drops.

Zhang Yang washed his oil-stained work clothes, "The two of you go to write a review, admit your mistakes, and don't think about going out to fight in the future." ”

"Whoa." Gao Yang and Qinghe left aggrievedly.

At such a young age, I don't know what the war is all about, but if I look closely, Xu Hui and Lizhi are still at home, and Xiao Wu is more sensible.

The younger siblings are growing up day by day, and they are getting more and more noisy.
