At this time, somewhere in the Tang Dynasty city on the border of Tubo.
Li Chengqian held a piece of paper in his hand, which had been crumpled into wrinkles.
He said in surprise:
"I didn't expect this kid to actually invent this thing. He wants to let my father control my actions. What is his intention? What does he want to do? What are the benefits to him? This kid is really annoying.
."
It turned out that he had just received a flying pigeon message from Chang'an.
What is written above is about Li Shimin’s purchase of a telegraph machine.
What it says above is that the imperial court wanted to install a telegraph machine on the Tibetan border, in the city where he was stationed.
The above also introduces everything about the telegraph machine.
It also explained that using a telegraph machine, a message could reach Chang'an in just an instant.
It is hundreds of times faster than flying pigeons to deliver messages.
That is to say, as long as someone informs him of any bad things he does, Li Shimin will soon know about it.
And the punishment will come down quickly.
When he received this message, he felt unhappy and fearful.
Blame all the anger on Li Min.
At this time, the deputy general beside him said:
"Perhaps His Majesty really wants to know our situation on the border? He is concerned about us! If we think in this direction, that is also a good thing."
Li Chengqian didn't think so.
Based on his understanding of Li Shimin, he knew that Li Shimin could not just say that he wanted to care about him.
He is very controlling.
"Bastard, how could this be possible? No one knows what my father is thinking better than me. He doesn't trust me. It must be that kid who did something good. I'm so angry."
At this time, the deputy general said: "First Prince, don't be angry. This telegraph machine and the telephone have something in common. They both have electricity, so they must use electricity! What will happen to him if there is no electricity?"
These words immediately woke up Li Chengqian.
He thought to himself, we can't build a reservoir near here, because this is an area without a reservoir.
If we build a new reservoir rashly, I'm afraid it will cost too much money.
But he was wrong. Telegraphs consume very little power.
One battery can last three to five days.
What's more, Li Min had already thought of everything he could think of.
Just look at three or five batteries at a time.
It will be no problem for him for a year, plus delivery will be carried out every once in a while.
That just doesn’t solve the problem!
But he can't think so far, he can only think like this.
Then the deputy general said: "I don't think the so-called telegraph machine will appear in this short time. Our life on the border is still very carefree."
Li Chengqian seemed to be persuaded in the end.
He said: "That's right! I didn't expect that this kid is always thinking of scheming against me. It's really annoying."
"First Prince, calm down, he will definitely get his retribution!"
"Huh? Really?"
"I'm asking someone to do some calculations. The future emperor's position will definitely belong to the eldest prince!"
"Hahaha, Vice General Zhang, I like people like you who tell the truth."
Here, Li Chengqian was talking ill of Li Min and Li Shimin's unfairness next to Tubo.
On the border of Goguryeo, there was a different reaction.
At this time, in a city somewhere on the border of Datang, Yuchi Jingde was holding a piece of paper in his hand, with some information densely written on it.
His hands were shaking constantly.
"Great! It's simply great. With this telegraph machine, our combat strategy can be very fast, and all news can be quickly transmitted to Chang'an. This is much faster than flying pigeons to deliver messages!
"
The battlefield of war is constantly changing.
One mistake and you may lose everything.
It would be a good thing if mistakes can be corrected before they happen.
Moreover, if you fail, you won't take much responsibility.
This is everything everyone wants to see.
As for him, he said: "If we can take countermeasures in a very short period of time, we will definitely catch the enemy off guard. Who invented this thing! It is simply great, it was simply born for war. Let people write about it later.
Write a letter and go back and thank the person who invented this thing."
It's also a frontier.
But have different views.
Li Chengqian's view was that Li Shimin wanted to control him.
Don't let him make mistakes.
If he was really being controlled, then what was the point of going to the border?
He originally wanted to live happily on the frontier, but with the arrival of the telegraph, he felt that his good days were over.
And what about Yuchi Jingde?
He was stationed at the border and was worried every day thinking about how to resist the enemy and how to exclude the enemy.
Sometimes some information is sent back via flying pigeons, and it takes half a day or even a day to know the result.
This waiting time made him very irritated.
At the same time, some emergencies are dealt with.
It needs to be decided very quickly, otherwise it may be easy to lose the opportunity on the battlefield in the future.
But some telegraph machines are different.
As long as he transmits the information back to the court and organizes discussions among civil and military officials through Li Shimin, then the method that such a person can come up with must be the best method.
These methods are always better than I imagined.
The most important thing is that it only takes an hour or two, or even less.
Naturally, he wanted to support such a good thing and also thank the person who invented the telegraph.
Not only him, but all places on the border received the news.
There are about eighty of them.
They were all excited about it.
This is tantamount to facing the Holy One directly.
Li Shimin issued the order, and all they had to do was implement it.
In this way, it is reasonable and well-founded.
It also received enthusiastic support from the public.
For a time, the telegraph spread rapidly among the people.
In the following period, it can be said that more than 70% of the people of the Tang Dynasty knew about this existence.
This incident also spread to the Zhou Kingdom. When they found out, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Some countries even sent envoys to Chang'an, saying they wanted to purchase this so-called telegram.
And a few days later, in the Daming Palace in Chang'an City.
Civil and military officials are divided into left and right.
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair.
He looked at the hundred telegraph machines that had just been delivered.
Laughed loudly.
He put the news out in the morning before the telegram came.
At this moment the telegraph machine arrived.
"With this artifact, my control over remote areas will be strengthened!"
Li Shimin thought so, and that would really lead to centralized control.
In this way, Datang will surely be able to unite as one and develop rapidly.
Datang will be even stronger.
It can also prevent some people from deceiving others.
This will be a great progress for the future of Datang.
It is an existence that can bring great convenience.
If used among the people, it can even be used to send messages to relatives or lovers who are far away to relieve the pain of blind dates.
