Chapter 121: Among these descendants, you are worthy of joining me

Although the musket was not accurate, it was not for nothing that Li Ji ordered 200 steps to fire. The tactics adopted by Frederick the Great during the Seven Years' War were to stop advancing and shoot in place again. In this repeated cycle, the Prussian army would often fire at considerable distances, sometimes even from a distance of 200 paces.

According to General Tempelhoff, an eyewitness of the Seven Years' War, the Prussian army sometimes opened fire at distances of 600 or even 800 paces. (Note 1)

As for whether there is a coordinated operation, Guo Ziyi's department and Li Siye's department are not wooden stakes there, and this line column is only a partial division, and it is not advisable to use a bar for the sake of a bar.

An Shouzhong saw strange firelight and blue-white smoke coming from the Tang army's position from a distance, and then Zhang Tongru's troops fell inexplicably like cutting wheat, and a bad premonition had already risen in his heart. When Zhang Tongru turned his horse's head and took the lead in escaping, An Shouzhong immediately realized that the general trend had gone.

The soldiers of Zhang Tongru's army, who had originally dispersed, were already frightened by the shotgun fire, and even the Chinese troops with An Shouzhong were scattered by them, not to mention the bombardment of the artillery fire, although the killing range was not large, but it was scary enough. The cavalry, which had long been ready, swept in like the waves of a tsunami, and the sun shone brightly on their shining silver armor.

"It seems that your suggestion is really good," Li Shimin smiled: "Hide the only artillery in the rear, and suddenly explode when the enemy rushes up, hahaha...... Looking at their embarrassed appearance, the bitter gall was frightened! ”

What can Li Qingneng say? The way of fighting is all ready-made? He could only laugh and not speak, fanning himself with a goose feather fan, not speaking, pretending to be a master.

"Let's go, let's go to the imperial army." Li Shimin turned the steering wheel and drove that way.

In Guo Ziyi's Chinese army, there was a quarrel at this time. Shuofang's left wing soldiers and horses envoy Gu Huaien believed that the An army would inevitably give up Chang'an and flee under the rout, and repeatedly suggested to Li Yu, the king of Guangping, to pursue quickly to expand the results of the battle. However, Li Yu, who had sought stability all his life, thought that the army was tired after a whole day of fierce fighting, and after weighing and considering many aspects, he did not adopt his advice.

When Li Shimin came in a Humvee, Guo Ziyi and them were startled. After seeing Li Shimin get out of the car, Guo Ziyi bowed his head.

He was even a little ashamed in his heart, ashamed that he had questioned His Majesty Taizong just now.

After understanding why the quarrel occurred, Li Shimin combined Li Qing's suggestion with a comprehensive analysis and decided to send troops to pursue the victory. That night, An Shouzhong was captured alive, and Chang'an, Shaanxi, and Luoyang were recovered again in one go.

In the end, when writing the war report, Li Siye originally gritted his teeth and reported that it was "10,000 battles", but Fugu Huaien received the battle report and thought about it and secretly changed it to 20,000. After Wang Sili saw this, he scolded the servant Gu Huaien for a long time, changed the battle report to 50,000, and finally Guo Ziyi discussed with Li Yuyi and changed it to 60,000 - of course, this is the battle report of the battle on this plane, and it does not involve other planes, so please do not sit down.

After all, the brothers also have to rely on the battle to receive rewards, and the officers also have to rely on this thing to be promoted, as the so-called millions of workers are tied to food and clothing, how dare you write less?

After recovering the Guanzhong region, the Tang army waved its army south and took Suiyang.

Under the leadership of Li Siye, the Tang army was like a bamboo, breaking Yin Ziqi and rescuing Suiyang City from the siege of the rebels.

There were originally 30,000 people in the city, but by the time reinforcements arrived, there were only about 1,000 left in the city. Zhang Xun faced Li Siye, who came to help, knelt on the ground and cried.

After a full meal in the army that night, Zhang Xun said goodbye to Nan Jiyun, Xu Yuan and others, came to the city wall alone, left a suicide note and jumped down.

It wasn't until the early morning of the second day that Zhang Xun's body and suicide note were found. The suicide note was to the effect that in order to protect the Jianghuai region from the flames of war, he was trapped in Suiyang, and he could only eat people when he ran out of ammunition and food.

Speaking from the heart, Zhang Xun's behavior should not be harshly criticized. According to historical records, the Anshi rebels acted brutally and plundered all the places they passed. The originally prosperous Guanzhong area has become a no-man's land where jackals crisscross and people are cut off.

The rebel Tian Chengsi once publicly said, "I and the public affairs Yan, go down to more than 150 cities in Hebei, send people to graves, burn people's rooms, plunder people's jade silk, the strong die with blades, and the weak fill in the ravines." Its brutality can be seen.

It can be seen that at least in the old and new "Book of Tang", the unity of the military and the people of Suiyang is worth believing, anyway, it is better to resist desperately.

This is also why Zhang Xun did not act generously and calmly like others when he was heroic, but hated that he could not defend Suiyang, the gateway of Jianghuai, so that the rebels could drive straight in, and the last prosperous and wealthy area of the Tang Dynasty was about to suffer from the ravages of war.

However, what he didn't expect after all was that the surrounding army was simply standing still and didn't want to save him. Three days after the city was broken, the "reinforcements" arrived in Suiyang, and seven days later, the invincible Yin Ziqi rolled out of Suiyang, and Luoyang was also recovered ten days later.

Come to think of it, just like "My Leader, My Regiment", everyone is in a rout, and you alone show your ability, doesn't that highlight the incompetence of our group of people? So in the eyes of the surrounding group of immovable reinforcements, Zhang Xun must die.

The friendly army was in trouble and did not move like a mountain, and the root was found.

By treating the human predicament under specific historical conditions as an inherent existential condition of human beings, cultural criticism ignores the role of the economic base, making it impossible to arrive at a thorough and comprehensive insight, and thus to propose effective solutions. And some of us abuse some of the values of the world and wantonly slander many historical figures without bearing any legal and moral responsibility, in fact, the fundamental purpose is to destroy the backbone of the nation.

After hearing about Zhang Xun's incident, Li Shimin sighed, grabbed Li Heng and beat him again.

It just so happened that Li Longji also returned to Chang'an from Shuzhong, as the so-called early is better than lucky, Li Longji and Li Heng father and son together, were beaten violently in Daming Palace by Li Shimin and other Tang Dynasty emperors.

Before leaving the plane, under the witness of Li Shimin, Li Heng officially abdicated and gave up the throne to his eldest son, Li Yu, the king of Guangping. In order to avoid causing wind and rain, Li Shimin decided to let him and Li Longji go to Yonghui to be a rich man to retire for the rest of his life.

After Li Yu succeeded to the throne, according to the agreement, he crowned the third brother Li Qi, the king of Jianning, as the emperor's younger brother and the general of Tiance, and ordered him to lead the troops to recover Hebei.

In December, Shi Siming led his troops to surrender, Li Yu named him the king of Guiyi County, and ordered him to live in Chang'an after the military power was relieved, and the Anshi Rebellion was officially put down.

After returning to Zhenguan Nian, Li Shimin officially named the new army Tiance Army, and comprehensively implemented the reform of the new military system in Datang.

This time, due to Li Qing's insufficient transportation capacity, he only brought one cannon, and Li Shimin said that it was a pity that he did not see the scene of 10,000 cannons firing in unison.

However, due to technological limitations, it is already very strong to have a dozen cannons firing together, and if you want to see 10,000 artillery guns fire in unison, you have to wait for the West-81 military exercise, which is called "10,000 artillery guns firing in unison" in the real sense.

In the system, there is still one last dynasty left, and the road to the Wude Dynasty can be officially opened.

In fact, there is a relatively hot knowledge, in fact, the Tang Dynasty had Sejong, but the Tang Dynasty secrened the world, so the word "generation" was used instead of "world". If it weren't for the sake of evasion, Li Yu's temple number should actually be Sejong.

Overall, Li Yu doesn't have much to criticize, if he has to pick a bone in the egg, it is that he agreed to Fugu Huaien's proposal to assign the old general of Yuan An Shi to guard Heshuo. Some scholars believe that this act opened a precedent for the phenomenon of secession of feudal towns in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

Oh, there is also an appointment of eunuchs to force the rebel Gu Huaien, and there is a more interesting little story in it. When Fugu Huaien was forced to rebel, his mother blamed him for not rebelling, and chased him all over the courtyard with a knife, shouting while chasing, "I will kill this traitor for the country, and take out his heart and liver to apologize to the three armies."

Later, after hearing that Fugu Huaien died of illness, Li Yu still had some regrets, saying that Fugu Huaien was not a thief, but was misled.

At the suggestion of Li Qing, after resting for two days in the year of Zhenguan, Li Qing and Li Shimin together took Li Yu, who was in the second year of Zhide, to the first year of Guangde.

There is not much age difference between the two Li Yu, and no one knows him better than himself, and soon Li Yu believes in the identity of the person in front of him.

Li Shimin looked at the great grandson in front of him with satisfaction, and said that among these children and grandchildren, they are also worthy of playing with me. In his opinion, other descendants, starting from Li Zhi, have all kinds of principled problems, and the Li Yu in front of him can be said to be the tallest of the shorts.

Li Yu was flattered, and to be so evaluated by Grandpa Taizong, Li Yu felt that he was fucking worth it in his life.

However, what Li Shimin didn't expect was that Li Qing hid another hand.

It's not that Li Qing deliberately wants to hide, it's just that Wude Chao has been activated, and he is excited now.

I really want to throw Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to the end of the Tang Dynasty and give it a try. Let's see if it's me, Tang Tuozong, Li Jiancheng, who can level Zhu Wen, or Li Shimin...... Well, Li Shimin, who has been tested by history, should have no problem dealing with Huang Chao and Zhu Wen.

Well...... But then again, let alone Li Jiancheng, even if it is Li Yuanji, I am afraid that he is better than Tang Xizong.

Li Shimin, who didn't know what Li Qing was thinking, proposed: "It just so happens that there is nothing to do now, so it is better to take Li Yu to see how his son escaped from Chang'an." ”

Li Shimin's idea is good, and in his opinion, he can't just let himself pull his blood pressure. Finally, there is a child and grandchild who can make a difference, and I have to take him with him to pull blood pressure.

As soon as he said this, he saw Yu Chaoen outside running over in a panic.

After seeing Li Yu, he immediately bowed, but when he saw Li Shimin and Li Qing, he suddenly stopped talking, but looked at Li Yu with an inquiring eye.

"This is not an outsider, but His Majesty Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, you don't have to be obscure, just say anything outright." Li Yu introduced.

Yu Chaoen was shocked, but now is obviously not the time to be shocked, after all, the big one is coming soon. He didn't have time to think about what he didn't have, so he immediately fell to the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty! Tubo has entered the Kou, Jingzhou Assassin Shi Gaohui led the Tubo army into the neighboring states of Kou, has captured Fengtian, martial arts, and came to Chang'an! ”

"What?!" Li Yu was shocked, he clenched his fists with both hands and released them, and asked angrily, "What about Cheng Yuanzhen!" What does Cheng Yuanzhen eat?! Tubo has entered the Kou, why didn't he, the prison army, report it! ”

"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are not familiar with him, Xu is that Cheng Yuanzhen is autocratic and self-indulgent, and he is afraid that the news of Tubo will reach your ears and punish him, so he suppressed the news and did not report it......" Yu Chaoen first cleared up the relationship, and then gave Cheng Yuanzhen eye medicine in a soft voice.

It can be said that the eunuchs are also very involved in each other. As long as there is an opportunity to slander, they don't mind hurting each other.

"How is this good, how is this good......" Li Yu paced back and forth, and suddenly panicked.

Because he listened to Cheng Yuanzhen's slander at the beginning of the year, he unjustly killed Shangshu Laijiao of the military department, resulting in almost no army defense in Chang'an. At this time, Li Guangbi, who was guarding Xuzhou, did not dare to enter the court because he was afraid of the slander of Cheng Yuanzhen and Yu Chaoen, let alone expected him to lead troops to quell the rebellion. There is also Fugu Huai'en, who almost turned against the court under the persecution of the eunuchs.

"What about Li Siye? And Guo Ziyi, where are they? Li Shimin asked a series of questions, trying to remind Li Yu of his generals.

From the second year of Zhide to now, it is only six years, and these generals at that time were in the prime of life, so there is no reason why he Li Yu has no one to use.

Li Shimin's ideas are good, but Li Yu is indeed not a good person sometimes.

"Li Siye is dead." Li Qing kindly reminded Li Shimin.

"Dead? What's going on? Li Shimin was shocked, the general who was more brave than Wei Chigong left a deep impression on him, how can such a strong person say that he will die if he dies?

It shouldn't be......

Yu Chaoen saw that Li Shimin was about to get angry, so he immediately explained: "Back to Emperor Taizong's words, in the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, that is, in the first month of four years ago, the king of Wuwei County besieged Xiangzhou. The year before, he had been recuperating from an arrow wound and had been in the army for several days. ”

"The king of Wuwei was resting at the time, and after hearing the sound of the drums, he got up and shouted to kill the enemy, causing the wound to rupture, bleeding several liters and dying......"

Hearing the death of such a brave general, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

"What about the servant Grace?" Li Shimin suddenly remembered the general who had a good strategic vision and pursued the rebels.

"Back to Emperor Taizong, Fugu Huaien has always been anti-hearted, and he ......"

Before Yu Chaoen's words were finished, Li Shimin angrily picked up the stool on the side and smashed it.

"Fuck you! The servant is full of loyalty, and a family of more than 40 people donated their lives to the country, and when it comes to your mouth, you will become a rebel? Li Shimin pointed to Yu Chaoen's nose and scolded: "Since you have always been anti-minded, why don't you vote when Yan is against the trend, and you have to think about rebellion after the world is calm?" ”

And now Li Shimin didn't expect that his valued son and grandson could do a lot of work for himself.
