The sound of the explosion attracted the attention of many villagers, and everyone just took a second look, curious about what was happening.

The villagers in Lishan have seen all kinds of strange things, and they have also seen big monsters eating coal and spitting smoke.

Li Jing also wanted to blow up a few more times......

Zhang Yang pondered distressedly, "I didn't prepare too much in the next day, how about another day?" ”

"Well, that's fine." Li Jing's expression was a little excited, but he quickly regained his upright expression, "The old man also has a little understanding of the art of war strategy when he sees this thing, why don't you and I have a good talk?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Li Jing's residence was well arranged by the two aunts, and a lot of swords and soldiers were prepared.

"Red Whisk said that she found a good horse in Lishan, and she was trying to tame it." Li Jing said and walked into the house.

Zhang Yang followed, in fact, the houses in Lishan are all the same style, I didn't think too much about it at first, just to make it easier to build, and I didn't put too much thought into it.

Lishan has only one three-hippopotamus that can be considered a good horse.

But the horse, who doesn't usually care much about it, doesn't know where it is.

Li Jing sat down and said with a smile: "The old man likes the chair here very much. ”

Zhang Yang explained: "The back of this chair is curved, and if you sit for a long time, your back will be very tired, so you use the style of bending the backrest. ”

"Well, it is said that Lishan's craftsmanship is good, and now it seems that it is worthy of its reputation."

Zhang Yang's expression relaxed slightly, and after the two sat down, they also relaxed a lot.

"The old man also likes the tea here, which is much better than the tea sold in Chang'an City."

Tea is not difficult to make, just by looking at the color of the tea can more or less guess the manufacturing method, but the taste of the made is different, and now there are many tea sellers in Chang'an.

I don't know where these tea leaves come from, but they may be roasted by the local researchers.

This also results in different tastes.

The tea leaves in Lishan are all from the south of the Yangtze River, and they are all fried and sent by Xu Hui, so the taste is naturally the best.

Li Jing said in a low voice: "I heard that Your Majesty said that Pei Xingjian repelled the Persians, did he also use this kind of firearm?" ”

"Well, the usage is a little different."

As if he felt embarrassed to ask more, Li Jing took out a horizontal knife from the house: "This knife is given to you, the old man carried this knife to fight in the Central Plains." ”

Zhang Yang took the knife and nodded in thanks, "Since it was given by my daughter's teacher, I still have to give it to Xiao Qingqing in the future." ”

Li Jing became more and more satisfied in his heart, "Your words and deeds are not as unbearable as the rumors outside." ”

Zhang Yang said melancholy: "People from the outside world have a lot of misunderstandings about me, but in fact, I have cultivated myself for many years, and now I have a heroic and righteous spirit. ”

"The old man also heard that you have three faces and two hearts, and you are a demon."

Zhang Yang cleared his throat again, "That's all rumors." ”

Li Jing looked at his conversation again and nodded: "Thinking about it, the rumors from the outside world are inevitably biased, and they are very one-sided towards people and things. ”

This kind of thing is Li Jing's most experienced, to say that when he returned from the Northern Expedition to the Turks, this former invincible general put down his military power.

The discussion about him has never stopped.

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, maybe there was really an agreement between Li Jing and Li Shimin, Li Jing knew his prestige in the army.

It was necessary for Li Shimin for the general to lay down his military power.

The moment Li Jing let go of his military power, it began.

The world is truly stable.

And Li Jing was praised by the community as a god of war.

Li Shimin is a benevolent and virtuous heavenly khan.

Li Jing is a god of war who has won every battle.

These two have a sense of mutual fulfillment.

However, the secret exchanges behind this make it impossible to tell the emperor's true intentions.

Li Jing bowed his head and said: "You said that the firearms used by Pei Xingjian are different from what the old man just saw. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yang nodded and said, "The firearms shown to the general will inevitably have limitations. ”

"That's right." Li Jing nodded and said: "If the old man knows that you have this sharp weapon in your hand, he will naturally not let your soldiers and horses stick to the city wall, and will arrange another army and horse outside the city to ensure that no one will put firearms under the city." ”

Li Jing said how to crack this kind of firearm.

The way to crack it is indeed very simple, and it hits the nail on the head, which is nothing more than using more manpower.

Zhang Yang put down the tea bowl in his hand, "In ancient times, war horses were inseparable from warhorses, and I also built a kind of soil mine, as long as this thing is put into the ground, the war horse or people will explode when they get close, and it is the most useful to deal with cavalry." ”

Li Jing frowned and shook his head, "No, even if you can deal with the cavalry, once or twice is okay, three or five times you will be on guard, or chickens and ducks, or donkeys and dogs will be released, even if you use prisoners of war to step on the army and then march." ”

"I also have a firearm that can be detonated just by throwing it, and detonating it in the middle of a crowd maximizes the damage."

This time, Li Jing was silent, as if he was looking for a way to crack it, and the method of dealing with firearms in the battle array also appeared in his mind.

Without waiting for the general to speak, Zhang Yang said: "I also plan to build a cannon, which does not need to bury firearms under the city wall, but only needs to be aimed at the city wall and fired at it, and the city gate can be blasted open." ”

Li Jing was still silent, he was still thinking about how to crack it.

The generals used the previous tactics, and if firearms were used in the war, they had to change their tactics when fighting.

After being silent for a long time, Li Jing said in a low voice: "When can I let the old man see these things." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Not in a short time, it may take a while." ”

"Well, the old man is waiting."

Seeing that it was going to rain again, Zhang Yang got up and said, "I'll leave first." ”

Li Jing sent it to the door, "I hope you can build it as soon as possible." ”

As he walked out of the house, Zhang Yang recalled a conversation with the general, a conversation like a confrontation between firearms and the art of war.

The lethality of firearms is very direct, and soldiers and horses are relatively more dependent on wisdom.

Talking to a general is like a collision between the technology of war and the wisdom of the art of war, and this feeling is very interesting.

As he was walking, he watched Li Xiaogong walking towards him.

"You kid went to see Li Jing again?" Li Xiaogong whispered.

"That's right, I've just been talking for a long time, and I benefited a lot from talking with the general."

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong's expression became more worried, "You should keep some distance from General Li Jing." ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "Does the King of Hejian County mean that if he gets too close to General Li Jing, he will probably not die well?" ”

Li Xiaogong did not give a positive answer, but the look of worry in his expression said it all.

Zhang Yang said again: "Since Your Majesty asked the general to come to Lishan, there must be an arrangement, and it is also for firearms." ”

"Well, most likely yes."

"My daughter also worshipped the general and General Zhang as teachers."

Li Xiaogong looked at the dark clouds in the sky with a sad face, "The old man has been terrified and restless in the first half of his life, look at how distressed you are now." ”

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder and gave him a relaxed smile, "You just think too much." ”

"Yes, your kid is much wiser than the old man, and he can always turn the danger into a disaster, but the old man is different, and when a real disaster comes, he can only hang himself and apologize."

"Not really."

"Although Zhang Gongjin is not a good person, you have to listen to him for some things, if you want peace, you can do it with his ability."

"Hmm." Zhang Yang walked all the way with his hands in his hands, "The teacher told me that I will not be able to hold the military power in my life, and I don't know how his old man can see it so thoroughly." ”

"Zhang Gongjin is a very smart person."

Li Xiaogong gave an evaluation, "You treat his three sons like your own brothers, no matter what, Zhang Gongjin will sincerely think about you." ”

"The King of Hejian County has told me to keep it in mind." As he spoke, Zhang Yang stopped, "Today, my daughter-in-law has nothing to do, and I plan to make a calendar, and I will send it to you when I am ready." ”

"It's fine." Li Xiaogong nodded and did not refuse, "The old man went to take a look at the rope on the beam of the house again, and he was more vigilant in his heart." ”

Zhang Yangmu sent him away, since the night in Qujiangchi, and now General Li Jing has come to Lishan.

I understood the city of this Heavenly Khan more and more, and I didn't know what to do in the future, but I felt that the emperor's knife was getting closer and closer.

It is a good thing that General Li Jing was able to come to Lishan.

But it's not very good for some people.

This makes the existence of this place in Lishan even more special, and it also makes the DPRK and China more vigilant.

Recently, another burst of rain fell in Guanzhong, which was close to the frost season, and it rained heavily in late autumn.

Heavy rain can't drown out the liveliness of Chang'an City, and today's Chang'an City is just as lively.

Xu Jingzong sat in the Ministry of Rites, listened to the words of his subordinates around him, and slapped the table case angrily, "What a Hongwen Pavilion actually robbed people with the Ministry of Rites!" It's really a thing that doesn't have long eyes, come on! Calling the brothers! ”

Here's the thing, originally this Hongwen Pavilion also needed to recruit students, and many people who did not pass the imperial examination wanted to continue to stay in Chang'an City.

Hongwenkan is the best place to go, and of course, there is now a Chongdefang.

These well-read people can write poems, write articles, or verify articles here to earn some livelihood, and they can also have a place to stay.

After settling in Chang'an, they can prepare for the imperial examination for the coming year.

There are still a small number of readers in Datang who can read and write articles, and the wages for these jobs are often very expensive.

After all, talent is scarce.

It's just that this time Hongwen Hall recruits students, and it wants a lot of people who have already been good in the Ministry of Rites, and he is because some people send bad words to the Foreign Affairs Institute all day long, saying that the Foreign Affairs Institute of the Ministry of Rites is mixed, and there are many idle ruffians.

In this way, there is a contradiction between the Ministry of Rites and the Hongbunkan.

Xu Jingzong has just served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the new official has just taken office, so he always needs to win the hearts of the people if he wants to serve the public.

After this was not out of the Suzaku Gate, many people from the Foreign Affairs Council were summoned.

The Ministry of Etiquette took the lead, and everyone followed.

In this way, Xu Jingzong led more than 100 people across the streets and came to the door of Hongwen Pavilion.

The head of Hongwen Hall also has someone to support him, so he is naturally not afraid of him Xu Jingzong, and the two sides are in dispute.

Xu Jingzong was furious and led people to rush into the Hongwen Pavilion, smashed the Hongwen Pavilion, and injured many people.

The matter was finally controlled by the leading army guards, and finally handed over to Zheng Gong for disposal.

Wei Zheng has always been a person who distinguishes between public and private, and this matter reached His Majesty's ears, Li Shimin only fined Xu Jingzong for a year, and as for the rest of the people, they were fined some silver.

His Majesty has laid this matter over with an understatement, and the Emperor has the intention of doing so.

It stands to reason that it is not an exaggeration for Xu Jingzong to take off his official body by such behavior, who let him have a backer, and his backer is the Marquis of Lishan County, who His Majesty appreciates very much.

Xu Jingzong knew very well that even if the Hongwen Pavilion was smashed, His Majesty would not punish him heavily, and he expected that His Majesty would already know the catty of the Hongwen Pavilion.

And he needs this matter to establish his authority and tell the many markets in Chang'an City that although Zhang Yang is no longer in Chang'an City, the Ministry of Rites is still not easy to provoke.

And after this incident, no one gave Xu Jingzong any more gifts.

In this way, Xu Jingzong not only proved that he was not a person to be messed with, but also stood up for the disguised rejection of those who flattered and gave gifts and favors.

This nonsense is necessary, and it is also the first thing Xu Jingzong has done since he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, the people who gave gifts and favors to Xu Jingzong at the beginning also avoided talking about it.

Such a delicate person naturally thinks very clearly, and everything he does is justified.

As for the director of the Hongwen Pavilion, knowing that His Majesty had just spared Xu Jingzong lightly, the director of the Hongwen Pavilion found Sun Wuji, the chief of the Zhao State.

If you want to say that Hongwen Pavilion is greasy, everyone knows very well in their hearts, where did he get the guests in Zhao Guogong's house?

Those are all first-hand students who are the directors of Hongwen Pavilion, and then carefully selected and recommended to Zhao Guogong.

Since Gao Shilian left the court, Zhao Guogong's power has grown step by step, and it is precisely this factor that there is.

This is also the reason why Xu Jingzong smashed the Hongwen Pavilion, and His Majesty just understated it.

The old people in the Qin Wangfu knew that as early as the Qin Wangfu, the eldest grandson Wuji had never dealt with people like Xu Jingzong.

Now Xu Jingzong once gained power and became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he had the Hou of Lishan County as a backer.

Xu Jingzong, one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, who was suppressed at the beginning, raised his arms to the eldest grandson Wuji.

After the eldest grandson Wuji learned the news, he arranged for the Hongwen Pavilion to apologize to Xu Jingzong.

Zhao Guogong asked Hongwenguan to send someone to compensate Xu Jingzong, and this news made Chang'an City fry.

It seems that in the future court battle, the eldest grandson Wuji and Xu Jingzong will not be good, what to say to make amends, and the person who made amends threw a few pieces of silver cakes at the door of the Foreign Affairs Academy.

The Foreign Affairs Yuan threw these pieces of silver cakes into Zhao Guogong's mansion.

In this way, the resentment of the two families is settled.

In the autumn of Lishan, the fruits and vegetables in the fields also withered a lot because of a cold autumn rain, and the work of Taifu Temple came to an end temporarily in the frost season.

Li Tai barbecued meat and told what happened in Chang'an, and he laughed and said, "This Xu Jingzong really has a kind. ”

Zhang Yang said with a sigh: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei arranged for someone to also send silver cakes of the same color to the Hongwen Pavilion, so that they can rebuild the Hongwen Pavilion." ”

"Why?"

"Etiquette is still exchanged, he Zhao Guogong has made amends, and we will naturally have to make amends."
