Entering Jeju is basically officially entering the territory of Shandong. Since ancient times, Shandong and Hebei have been closely related to each other. Although during the Warring States Period, Qi often bullied Yan, and Yan counterattacked Qi several times without having anything to do.
It's so arrogant.
However, when it comes to their attitude towards the powerful Qin, Yan, Zhao, and Qilu are surprisingly unified.
The reason why Li Zhi wanted to make Luoyang the eastern capital had a lot to do with the remote location of Chang'an, the western capital.
After the emperor moved to Luoyang, the Central Plains once again became the center of the Tang Dynasty's political territory. As a result, the Zhao land on the Yanzhao land was basically completely stabilized.
Next, the emperor needs to face Qilu and Yan.
This time, in the name of consecrating Mount Tai, the emperor acted as an upright teacher. He made no secret of his purpose, which was to complete his work in one battle. Taking advantage of the unprecedented strength of the Tang Dynasty, he prepared to solve problems that had not been solved for hundreds of years at once.
.
The reason why Li Zhi wanted to start his journey to Zen a year in advance was not at all to achieve Zen status on Mount Tai. He knew very well that even if he had achieved Zen status 10,000 times, it would not be as good as the return of Shandong and Hebei.
Through experiments in several places in Henan, and the continuous propaganda of Baiqisi's spies in Shandong and Hebei, it is already clear that the emperor's target this time is the wealthy families and landlords, and he is ready to break the two places.
With regard to politics, people's livelihood and ecology, the policy of rent adjustment will be re-implemented in these two places.
If there are wealthy families and landowners, there will naturally be armed families and armed landlords. The reason why Li Zhi slowly advanced towards Mount Tai was to let everyone who could jump out jump out and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Since the policy has been formulated, Li Zhi has no intention of changing it, nor will he listen to the objections of his officials.
How to train and teach ministers, Wu Mei has rich experience, and how to calm down the disobedience, Li Zhi feels that he should do his part.
"This is a disaster for the world, not for the Buddhist family. I believe that as long as we survive this disaster, Buddhism will be the first to bloom like the green grass on a sunny slope."
On the bank of the Yellow River, Xuanzang was talking eloquently with Sun Simiao.
It was obvious that Sun Simiao did not listen to Xuanzang's words at all. The old man was only interested in curing diseases and saving people, and did not care about other matters such as Taoism and Buddhism.
"If your Buddhism sect prospers, it will become a disaster. If my Taoist sect prospers, it will no longer be a Taoist sect. There is no nonsense about the sun-facing plants blooming first. The plants and trees they belong to cannot escape the way of heaven. The lifespan is certain. Flowering first means that it will bloom first."
Apoptosis, I don’t know why you are so proud of blooming first.”
"Huh? You, a seasoned Taoist, have already entered Taoism."
"Bullshit Daoists just don't want to die. They always want to treat a few more patients and see more strange diseases. If the old Taoist dies one day, it must be because there are no incurable diseases in the world."
Xuanzang smiled and said, "I have become a Buddha."
Sun Shenxian said proudly: "Of course I have become a Taoist and a Buddha. Why do you need to talk about it?"
Xuanzang saw Sun Shenxian's hands constantly trying to figure things out in the thatched shed where they were staying, and said: "This is a greenhouse. Yunchu saw that there was no open fire when I was translating scriptures. It was cold in winter and hot in summer, so he created this greenhouse."
A set of heating things can be said to be warm in winter and cool in summer, which is wonderful."
Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao immediately asked Yun Chu, who was making tea for the two of them, "Why isn't it there, Old Taoist?"
Yunchu filtered out the golden tea soup, put a cup in front of Sun Simiao and Xuanzang respectively, wiped his fingers stained with some tea, and said to Sun Simiao: "You forgot, my disciple sent it to you, you ordered someone to put it in
It’s too late in the hospital’s baby room.”
Sun Simiao said angrily: "You can't make another set."
Yun Chu sighed and said: "You ordered your disciples to make a hundred sets and give them to all the wards of the Tai Hospital. This was obviously beyond the scope of my disciples' abilities, so we had to stop."
Sun Simiao looked at Xuanzang, then at Yunchu, then shook his head and said: "You two have no similarities in appearance. It can be seen that outsiders say that you are father and son, which is pure nonsense."
Xuanzang laughed and said nothing.
Yun Chu had a grimace on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "Making one set of this heating and cooling device requires two hundred kilograms of pure copper, and the disciples can only provide ten sets at most for use in the Imperial Hospital.
Sun Simiao said with a smile: "Now it seems that the features of the two of you still have a lot of similarities. Of course, the more good things you add to the Taiyuan Hospital, the more similar you two will be in appearance..."
If the rumor that Yun Chu and Xuanzang were father and son was rumored by the outside world in the past, it was the foundation of Yun Chu's establishment in the Tang Dynasty. After all these years, the rumor that was originally a unilateral benefit of Yun Chu has now become
It formed the link between the two forces to form an alliance.
Whether Naha's Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions can continue depends on the persistent help of Central Plains Buddhism. Similarly, the entry of Central Plains Buddhism into the Western Regions is a remarkable achievement. In the past, Buddhism came from the West, but now it has become Central Plains Buddhism.
The advancement of Buddhism to the west, although it seems simple, is an important achievement for Buddhism in the fight for the authenticity of Buddhism, that is, the sphere of influence for the spread of Buddhism.
All this would not be possible without Yunchu’s support.
Therefore, both Xuanzang and Yunchu kept the rumors secret, that is, they were scumbags who refused to admit, refuse, or explain.
If at this time, Sun Shenxian suddenly said that Xuanzang and Yunchu had no similarities in appearance, a series of changes would follow. At least, Buddhism would no longer trust Yunchu so much.
It is a crime to disrespect superiors!
There is no doubt that Sun Shenxian is such an expert.
Similarly, Master Xuanzang also belongs to this category of people.
Yun Chu, who was blackmailed, understood very well that the reason why Sun Shenxian wanted to blackmail him was actually to drive him away. The two of them should have something very important to explain clearly on the bank of the Yellow River.
Yun Chu left the hut angrily and vaguely heard Sun Simiao saying to Xuanzang: "Once the Taoist sect declines, it will be the end of your Buddhist sect..."
Yun Chu shook his head and smiled. After the last attack on the Taoist sect, there were already signs of decline. After all, Sun Shenxian was a member of the Taoist sect and could not be too supreme to forget his love.
There is a wide pontoon bridge like a crescent moon on the Yellow River. This is a pontoon bridge built on the basis of two hundred large ships. The large ships float on the water, and then use giant anchors to fix the ships in a certain position. Then, the big ships are anchored with iron
The hooks are connected, and thick wooden boards are laid on the surface of the ship to form this crescent-shaped pontoon bridge.
This was the escape route arranged by the emperor for himself. Naturally, Yunchu had to strictly guard it. Not only did he set up a naval camp upstream to prevent ships from raiding the pontoon, he also arranged fast boats downstream to patrol at all times to avoid being caught.
The water ghost took advantage of it.
As for both ends of the pontoon bridge, Yun Chu arranged heavy guards. Marching commander Shi Li Ji was in Hebei and Yun Chu was in Henan. The guards of the pontoon bridge were almost impenetrable.
According to the news from Di Renjie, Wen Wen thought that the emperor would definitely return to Henan from Hebei within fifteen days.
Because the opposition forces in Hebei are basically showing signs of starting a prairie fire.
Small groups of landlords and powerful armed forces are already showing signs of gathering. Some local Zhechong prefectures in Hebei also have a tendency to become unstable. Once these forces are linked together and a leader is elected, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty
, and will not allow Li Zhi and other members of the royal family to continue to stay in the war zone in Hebei.
When Yun Chu thought that he not only had to serve Master Xuanzang who had turned into a child, but also Sun Shenxian, who became less and less interested in seeing him the more familiar he became, if Li Zhi and his wife were to come to his army again, his life would definitely be different in the future that could be seen with the naked eye.
Very difficult.
At that time, all the civil and military officials will definitely come with the emperor. Then, as long as someone defeats Yunchu's army, more than 60% of the elite of the Tang Dynasty can be wiped out.
For this reason, Yunchu had to use all his skills to ensure that these people were safe and sound in his army.
After looking at the map again, Rourou punched the table and shouted, "The emperor brought this upon himself."
Di Renjie nodded and said: "I used to think that 30,000 horses was too much, but now it seems that it is not enough. This time the emperor laid the stall too big, and there is a risk of capsizing if not careful."
For some reason, the words "Battle of Xiangji Temple" suddenly popped up in Yunchu's mind. According to historical records, that battle was almost the key battle that determined the transformation of the Tang Dynasty's national power from strong to weak. That was that battle.
The elite troops of the Guanzhong Prefecture and the rebels from Shandong and Hebei, who also came out with equally elite troops, both encountered a brutal war that was unique in history.
One hundred and thirty thousand people died in four hours of fighting...
In the past, Yun Chu could not understand why the rebels still refused to retreat after experiencing such a tragic war. Now he understood that the wealthy families and landowners in Shandong and Hebei hated the Tang Dynasty more than they hated foreign enemies.
However, the situation is different now. Although the soldiers in Shandong and Hebei are also equipped with a small number of firearms, they are still incomparable with the 200,000 Tang elites recruited by the emperor this time. Only Yunchu's army has various
There are nearly 600,000 firearms. With the existence of these items, personal bravery and hatred can no longer affect the outcome of the battlefield.
After all, no matter how hateful a heart is, it will be blown to pieces when exposed to gunpowder.
Thinking of this, Yun Chu's hands trembled slightly. To be honest, he had no passion for using gunpowder to blow up his fellow tribesmen in Shandong and Hebei into powder.
However, due to the emergence of gunpowder and its large-scale use, the battlefield was no longer familiar to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Yun Chu was still very confident about this.
Master Xuanzang had monks and Taoist priests constantly coming in and out of his thatched cottage on the bank of the Yellow River. If Yunchu hadn't been too familiar with these two wise men, he would have definitely suspected that these two groups were plotting something.
They stayed by the river for three days. During these three days, Yun Chu could not even approach the thatched cottage.
