After Liang Shidu established himself as prime minister, he colluded with the Eastern Turks and repeatedly joined forces to attack the counties around Shuofang City. He was so popular that it is hard to describe. However, the bad thing is that this guy is self-righteous. If you say you are rebelling against the Sui Dynasty, you will rebel against the Sui Dynasty.
Why do you collude with foreign countries to harm your compatriots? Isn’t this bringing the anger of the people all over the world to you?
Later, Liang Shidu led his army to defeat the Sui general Zhang Shilong and took advantage of the victory to capture the prefectures of Feiyin, Honghua, Yan'an and so on. After that, his territory and strength greatly increased, so he proclaimed himself emperor and named the country Liang.
After Liang Shidu became emperor, he accepted the titles of "Dadu Pijia Khan" and "Emperor of Interpretation" from the Turkic Khan Shibi Khan. In order to repay the ridiculous "favor" of his foreign master, this fellow actually guided
The Turkic troops invaded the Central Plains, allowing the Turks to occupy Henan and capture Yanchuan County.
After Li Yuan became emperor, the world almost returned to the Tang Dynasty. Due to territorial disputes, Liang Shidu repeatedly sent troops to attack Lingzhou in an attempt to open up the Hexi Corridor to conquer the west. He wanted to cut some fresh meat from the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't think that the Tang Dynasty was
Being friendly to each other, every time Liang Jun sent troops to attack, he was defeated by Tang guard generals Lin Xingcan and Duan Decao.
The Liang division had no plan to capture Lingzhou, so they asked for help from their master. They used the unfavorable reasons for the unification of the Tang Dynasty and the excuse of the survival and development of the Turks to instigate Chuluo Khan to raise troops to invade the south. It is a shame that the Liang division actually personally fought for the Turkic army for his own benefit.
Act as a guide.
Fortunately, God blessed the Tang Dynasty and prevented foreign enemies from causing trouble!
Just when Chuluo Khan formulated a five-pronged plan based on the situation, he prepared to unite the armies of the Khitan, Mohe, and Xi tribes to invade Taiyuan, Youzhou, Yanzhou, and Wuyuan in the south, and joined forces with Xia King Dou Jiande's troops in Jinzhou and Jiangzhou.
, Chuluo Khan suddenly died of a serious illness, and the plan to invade the Tang Dynasty southward was shelved midway.
After the Turkic southward invasion plan was shelved, the Tang Dynasty had a chance to take a breather and mobilize its troops to deal with the Liang army. The Liang division capital began to be violently attacked by the Tang army.
Suo will lead his twelve states to surrender to the Tang Dynasty on Tuesday.
Datang Dynasty saw this situation and quickly sent Duan Decao to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Shuofang County and capture the east city of Shuofang.
In order to save their lives, all Liang divisions rushed to the East Turks to meet Jieli Khan and instigated his East Turks troops to go south to invade the Tang Dynasty. Since then, the East Turks have invaded the Tang Dynasty every year, even going deep into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty and approaching the Wei Bridge.
In the Tang Dynasty's war against the Eastern Turks, the siege of Liang's capital was relaxed.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, all the powerful enemies around the Tang Dynasty had been wiped out, but Liang Shidu was still stubbornly resisting. The only thing he had to rely on was the powerful East Turks to back him up. As the tribes of the East Turks fell into civil strife due to power struggles,
During this period, the Eastern Turks' support for Liang Shidu could no longer be guaranteed. Facing the pressure from the Tang Dynasty, Liang Shidu was facing an increasingly critical situation. Under such circumstances, Li Shimin took the initiative to extend an "olive branch" to Liang Shidu.
They all recognized the situation and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible and promised him high-ranking officials to show their nobility. However, Liang Shidu was still stubborn and refused Li Shimin's surrender.
There is a saying: "If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine!"
Li Shimin saw that Liang Shidu was obsessed with it, so he sent an order to Xia Governor Shi Liu Min and Sima Liu Lancheng to plan the destruction of the Liang Kingdom.
Liu Min and Liu Lancheng had been stationed at the border for many years and were well aware of Liang's political and public sentiments. They adopted a "multi-pronged" strategy and used a variety of means including counterinsurgency schemes.
At the same time, the Tang army's light cavalry was sent to ravage the crops in the Liang Kingdom, causing the food reserves in Shuofang City to be empty, and it was very difficult for the soldiers and the people to have a full meal.
After this plan was implemented for nearly a year, the military, political and public sentiment in Liang State changed drastically. Many ministers and generals of Liang State surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, either overtly or covertly. Even the soldiers and people of Liang State were resentful of the Liang division.
Under this situation, Liu Min and Liu Lancheng believed that it was time to attack Liang and finally destroy Liang Division, so they wrote to the court to send troops to attack Liang Division.
Li Shimin immediately agreed after receiving the memorial from the two men, and sent an order to Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun to join forces to attack the Liang Kingdom. Liu Min and Liu Lancheng led their elite troops to defend the east city of Shuofang County.
This battle was the Tang Dynasty's determination to completely eradicate the cancer that was always intruding at the border. It can be said that it was the biggest concern that Li Shimin paid attention to these days, apart from the troubles for the imperial court and the aristocratic family, the Xu family in Licheng.
After Qin Wenyuan learned the news, combined with his prediction of the direction of the entire historical event in his previous life, he knew that Li Shimin would soon send an order to the Tang Army to start a desperate war with the Eastern Turks after solving the serious problem of Liang Shidu.
The reason was that the Turkic people were exhausted and the animals were thin due to years of wars, frosts, droughts and other reasons. In addition, the weather suddenly turned cold in the north. Faced with the tragic scene of many sheep and horses freezing to death and starving to death, Xue Yantuo,
The Uighur, Bo Yegu, and Tongluo tribes took the opportunity to rebel against the rule of the Eastern Turks. The tribes jointly promoted Yinan, the leader of the Xueyantuo tribe, as Zhenzhu Khan and accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Tuli Khan, the sub-Khan of East Turkestan, came out to join in the fun. This guy had long been dissatisfied with Jieli Khan because he had been suppressed and excluded by Jieli Khan for a long time. He also secretly contacted the Tang Dynasty and expressed his willingness to surrender.
Datang, since then, all conditions for the Tang's counterattack against the Turks have been fully mature.
In November of the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (629), the Eastern Turkic generals Yalkin and Ashinadur led their troops to harass Hexi. The Tang Dynasty Suzhou defender Zhang Shigui and Ganzhou defender Zhang Baoxiang united their troops to lean on the corner to strengthen the wall and clear the country.
, used the city to block the Turkic cavalry, and finally made the Turkic cavalry return without success. This incident allowed Datang to seize the reason for the Turks' provocation and refused to give up. Finally, Datang had an excuse to send troops to counterattack the Turks...
Qin Wenyuan, who was twenty-two years old at the time, had gradually matured from the disputes with the ministers and various forces in Qizhou and Chang'an City through the management of Qizhou and the work of controlling the locust plague in Chang'an City.
As for the management of several prefectures in Hebei Province, he finally understood a truth. If he wanted to rule a powerful country and make the people happy, he could not only make the internal politics clear and clear, but also make the people feel that the happiness was not easy to obtain and thus establish a certain kind of belief. Secondly,
That is to say, we must be strong and iron-blooded externally. Any force that invades our borders and dares to bully our people must use ruthless strikes, so that the invading enemies have to weigh the gains and losses when they want to take action under the rule.
Incapable of withstanding revenge.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The military camp in Dengzhou has been built. The first batch of 20,000 navy troops is based on the 5,000 soldiers of the Xu family army and enriched by the civilians who enlisted in Dengzhou and some of the conquered pirates.
After several months of combined training on land and water, it has begun to have combat capabilities. If all the warships are ready, this Dengzhou naval force will be the most powerful water combat force in the Tang Dynasty.
The first general of the naval yamen was Zhao Feipeng, the deputy general who had followed Qin Changqing for many years. He was good at wielding a spear with red tassels and was very skilled on horseback. He had been in the army with Qin Changqing until now and was known for his steady temperament.
Things were neither urgent nor impatient. In the army, he was mainly with Xu Changqing, but privately he was comparable to the Qin Changqing brothers. After entering Licheng, he had been the cavalry commander of the "Qinglong" battalion. Qin Wen transferred him to Zhao Feipeng with his own consent for this expedition.
After entering Dengzhou, he made good use of his steady temperament and led the navy. His lieutenants were Qin Dapeng and Zhang Dabao.
Seeing that the military port in Dengzhou has taken shape, the warships can be berthed in less than a few months, and the construction of the warships is gradually taking shape.
On this day, Qin Wenyuan convened Yamen officials in the new military camp to discuss matters with Zhao Feipeng, Qin Dapeng and Zhang Dabao, focusing on the training of the army and the development of people's livelihood in Dengzhou. Later, Qin Wenyuan met with Li Kuang, Mo Yazi, Zu Yi and other masters
Discuss with the craftsmen about speeding up the progress of shipbuilding and military port.
After handing over the military and political affairs of Dengzhou to the county magistrates Zhuang Degui and Zhao Feipeng, Qin Wenyuan led the two thousand cavalry accompanying Dengzhou back to Licheng.
Back in Licheng, Qin Wenyuan started to act like a playboy after a long day of hard work. He was always playing with Lu Yue'er, who was already pregnant, in the mountains and rivers of "Xuanyuan", or taking Ping'er and Murphy on the road.
He wanted to take a look around the city and the prefectural cities around Licheng. He wanted to use his rare free time to accompany a few people. Once Chen Laosan heard the news about the imperial court sending troops, he would lead tens of thousands of Xu family troops to
Youzhou went north to lay down several pieces of land as a base for future occupation of the lush grassland and beautiful water under Yinshan Mountain.
The Mo family's mansion in "Xuanyuan" has been built. Mo Qingzi and dozens of Mo family members have already moved into the "Xuanyuan" mansion. Mo Qingzi and the veterans of the Mo family are very interested in this place built by Xu Tian.
Qin Wenyuan's whimsical buildings in the garden and the weapons in the hands of the guards in the garden, this old man was as happy as smelling bloody mosquitoes all day long, looking here and touching, as long as he grabbed Qin Wenyuan
He kept asking questions, which annoyed Qin Wenyuan to the point where he would run away from him whenever he saw him.
Qin Changqing and Qiuniang had already proposed marriage to the Mo family and got the consent of Murphy's father, Mo Qingzi. They would marry Qin Wenyuan and Murphy on the auspicious day chosen by the Mo family.
Normally, a man and a woman who have made a marriage contract cannot meet each other before they get married. However, Qin Wenyuan always uses different tricks to seduce Murphy, and even tries to get some benefits from Murphy, which makes Murphy so beautiful.
The woman was unruly and had a bad temper. She often chased Xu Tian with a dagger in her hand, causing Xu Tian to dodge in all directions.
In his spare time, Qin Wenyuan took advantage of the time at home to install a beautiful bathroom in the bedroom of Lu Yue'er's house using the building materials taken out by the system to make it more convenient for Lu Yue'er when she was pregnant and gave birth to a baby.
The facilities and flush toilets are indeed much more convenient than those he originally built in "Xuanyuan".
In order to have hot water in the room all the time, Qin Wenyuan installed a solar energy device on the roof of the house, resisting being looked at as a monster by others. This move made the Mo family stunned, as if they didn't know how these things could work.
There is a use that they have neither thought of nor dared to think of.
Mo Qingzi, like a studious and good boy, pestered Qin Wenyuan every day, and even asked his own girl to take action, insisting that this boy explain how these things are made and the principles that can produce such effects.
Qin Wenyuan's pretentious appearance forced this old man who was very obsessed with structure and mechanics to worship him as an ancestor every day. After explaining and demonstrating the role of the floating ball in the process of filling and draining water in the toilet, so The simple principle shocked Mo Qingzi to the point where he beat his chest and shouted.
"Why can't I think of such a simple method?"
After looking at the tall water tower standing next to the house and the water diversion pipe made of bamboo, Mo Qingzi understood the water pressure and other issues that Qin Wenyuan was talking about this time. For this uncle who seemed to know everything, Mo Qingzi was an old man. I am so relieved that I wish I could marry the girl into the Qin family early.
As for the device that can heat water on the roof, no matter how Qin Wenyuan explained it, it still couldn't meet the old man's wish. Xu Tian had no choice but to use the simplest method, calling Lu Yue'er's younger brother Lu Qingyun and letting Murphy lead him on A huge mirror was used in the distance to refract the sun's rays onto Mo Qingzi when there was sunlight, and then he said with a smile.
"Uncle Mo, does he feel that his whole body is warmer than usual?"
After feeling that the area around him that was reflected in the mirror seemed to have a warmer feeling, Mo Qingzi seemed to have a lot to say, but Qin Wenyuan continued without waiting for him to say anything.
"This is the effect of light conductive heat transfer. After the boy installs the heat-absorbing material on the roof, the light will introduce heat energy into the water through the action of the directing material to heat the water. This process is the process that makes you feel warm. , It’s just that these light-conducting materials can attract sunlight better. However, these materials cannot be produced by us. They have to be found in very mysterious places by chance. I got these pieces by chance thanks to my master."
Qin Wenyuan's words made Mo Qingzi confused. After listening for a long time, he could not figure out what "heat energy" was. He thought that this was probably the reason for the heating achieved by attracting sunlight. In fact, for this light The functions of the Mohist have also been mentioned in his Mohist classics, but these things are too fantasy and not many descendants of the Mohist have studied in depth...
Life at home is always relaxing, happy and easy, and in a blink of an eye it is late November in the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Laosan again received news from Chang'an City that the imperial court wanted the Sixth Route Army to send troops to exterminate the Eastern Turks. The news mentioned that the imperial army sent troops this time because Zhang Gongjin wrote a letter listing six reasons for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to the Turks.
Li Shimin adopted the advice put forward by Zhang Gongjin and used the Eastern Turk generals Yalkin and Ashinadur to lead their troops to attack Hexi of the Tang Dynasty as an excuse to send an order to divide the troops into six routes to attack the Eastern Turks.
In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin issued an order to confer the title of Duke of Wei. Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the marching commander of Dingxiang Road. Zhang Gongjin was appointed as the deputy marching commander and commanded the central army. Xu Shiji, the British governor of Bingzhou, was appointed as the marching commander of Tonghan Road. He led the main force directly from the east road. When attacking the hinterland of the Eastern Turks, Huazhou Governor Qiao Guogong Chai Shao was appointed as the general manager of the Jinhe Road march and led his army to advance along the Yellow River from the west, forming a situation that echoed the troops led by Li Jing and Xu Shiji.
After the three-pronged army was decided, Li Shimin sent a decree to appoint Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng County, who had been appointed as the Minister of Rites, as the general manager of the Datong Road march, with Zhang Baoxiang as his deputy. These two led the army from Lingzhou to the northwest and advanced into the land of the Turkic tribes.
Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou who inspected the school, was the commander-in-chief of the march on Heng'an Road and guarded the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic troops from escaping eastward. Xue Wanshu, the governor-general of Lingzhou, was the commander-in-chief of the march on Changwudao. He used the northeast route to attack the Turks' rear and monitor whether there would be any unusual movements in the Tuli Khan Department.
