But what Li Shimin didn't expect was that within a few days, news came again from the court.
Tubo actually perished and was defeated by the King of Shu.
This time, Li Shimin was speechless but also happy.
Li Shimin is not someone who can't afford to let go. Now that it has become an established fact, Li Shimin has become happy.
Eliminating Tubo was definitely a great achievement for him as an emperor.
Suppressing the crisis in the southwest and expanding the territory will definitely make a big mark in the history books in the future.
However, after the King of Shu captured Tubo, his wings became even fuller.
As a father, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do about him.
Li Shimin knew very well how powerful the King of Shu was now.
If a war really started against the King of Shu, it would be an absolute disaster for the entire Tang Dynasty.
Even if Li Shimin elected Wei King Li Tai as the crown prince, wait until he said: Yutong, I have wronged you.
Duan Yutong smiled happily and said: Brother, I am not wronged! I am very happy to be able to give birth to a child for my brother!
Li Min said with some worry: But if the child is born without a father, wouldn't someone laugh at you? Fortunately, I will marry you!
Duan Yutong shook his head and said: Brother, I don't want it for now. If you marry me now, how can you continue to fight against Nanzhao? Don't worry, no one dares to gossip.
Now is indeed not the time to marry Duan Yutong.
Now according to Li Min's report, Yizhou is still at war with Nanzhao!
What would happen if he married Duan Yutong now?
Now Li Min feels that he owes Duan Yutong even more.
By the way, Yutong, I’m here this time! I’m just going to shoot a movie. I’ll stay here for a while and keep you company!
Movie? What is a movie?
Li Min smiled slightly and said: You will know soon!
Yes, the correct way to use cameras and projectors is, of course, to make movies.
The hottest things are not cameras and projectors, but movies and actors.
This time, Li Min decided to make a film reflecting the war between Yizhou and Nanzhao.
Now, with the secret encouragement of some people, rumors are spreading throughout the Tang Dynasty.
There is a fake fight between the King of Shu in Yizhou and Nanzhao, and the King of Shu now has a disobedient heart.
Regarding this kind of remarks——
Well, actually this statement is true.
However, this kind of remarks is extremely detrimental to his majestic image, so Li Min must give them correct guidance to set their sights straight!
The next day, Li Min gathered the team from Datang and started filming the movie.
In his previous life, Li Min was just a street writer and had no directing experience at all.
Therefore, in recent days, Li Min has gained a lot of expertise in directing.
Of course, even so, he is just a layman with some professional knowledge.
But then again, in the Tang Dynasty, when there were no movies at all, Li Min's knowledge was more than enough.
This time, what Li Min pulled out was Wang Fangyi's team, which amounted to three thousand troops.
In fact, movie shooting requires only a few people and through shooting techniques, it is possible to capture scenes of thousands of troops.
This time, Li Min pulled out a full three thousand troops, which was enough to capture the impression of an army of hundreds of thousands.
In the first scene of the picture, a border village was shot.
This village had obviously just been devastated by war.
The house was on fire everywhere, the ground was in a mess, bloodstains could be seen everywhere, and bodies were scattered everywhere.
There were many people holding the bodies on the ground and crying loudly.
Some women's clothes are messy, their eyes are dull, and they have an expression of hopelessness.
Of course, these are actually actors hired by Li Min.
Under the guidance of Li Min, the shooting was quite realistic.
Those actors who were 'tainted' were girls from brothels, and their faces were smeared with blood, making it impossible to recognize who they really were.
After filming these, it's time for Wang Fangyi to take the stage.
Brothers! The Nanzhao barbarians killed my father and brother and insulted my wife and daughter. What should we do?
Kill! Kill! Kill!
OK! The whole army listens to the order and sets off!
Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!
Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!
Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!
Three thousand cavalry roared past. According to Li Min's request, the team was drawn longer, giving the impression of an army of thousands of horses.
And the next scene is at the border of Nanzhao.
The Tang army and the Nanzhao army met, and the two sides fought fiercely.
kill!
kill!
People kept falling off their horses, and the battlefield was extremely tragic.
Card!
As the director, Li Min rushed out in a furious manner.
I asked you to express the atmosphere of the battlefield, not to kill them for real! If this were a real sword, do you really intend to hack them to death?
And you! Your arm was injured. Why is your thigh bleeding? Has it been transferred?
Prince, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the blood bag is broken, blame me, blame me!
We're filming now! Don't ask me to hand it over to my director, remember?
Yes, yes, director, director!
When he came to Datang, Li Min somehow became addicted to being a director.
However, now Li Min finally feels that being a director is not that easy!
Especially these actors, they didn't understand what the prince meant at all.
Let them fake a fight here?
What is this for?
They don't even understand what a shot is and what a positioning is.
In short, Li Min worked hard to make this movie.
Of course, it feels quite satisfying to be able to experience the addiction of being a director.
This war scene alone took five days of filming to complete.
However, the next step is relatively simple.
Li Min did not shoot this movie to shoot war scenes.
Next, according to Li Min's vision, the film was shot step by step.
In March, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an.
In May, the King of Goryeo sent envoys to Tang Dynasty to apologize.
In June, the Western Turks sent their princess to marry him.
The purpose of the Western Turks' marriage was to jointly attack Xue Yantuo.
Under the combined attack, Xue Yantuo was defeated.
Domi Khan was attacked and killed by the Uighurs and took his territory.
The remaining people of Xue Yantuo established Dumozhi as the Khan of Yitewushu. Soon they went to the Khan's headquarters and sent envoys to express their gratitude.
Li Shiji was sent to join forces with Chile of the Nine Surnames. When Li Shiji arrived, he surrendered aggressively. His tribe wanted to wait and see, so they pursued the army and killed more than 5,000 people in front and back, and captured more than 30,000 people.
At this time, not only the filming of Li Min's movie was completed, but also the post-production was finally completed.
Next, Li Min began to train film projectionists, preparing to start showing Datang's first film.
After seven days of training, one hundred film projectionists were finally successfully trained.
Then, the first movie of the Tang Dynasty, "The Defense of Homeland", began to be screened simultaneously in Jiannan Road and Chang'an.
Because in this era, there are no movie theaters.
Movies need to be played at night.
In Chang'an, the night is forbidden.
If you want to play movies in Chang'an City, you must communicate with the Chang'an City Defense Department.
In fact, the most important thing is to obtain the permission of Emperor Li Shimin.
If the emperor does not give permission, it is absolutely impossible for the movie to be shown in Chang'an City.
However, when Li Shimin learned about this matter, for no apparent purpose, he finally agreed to Li Min's request.
As a result, the first movie of the Tang Dynasty finally began to be screened simultaneously in one hundred areas of Jiannan Road and Chang'an City.
Everyone, go and watch, there’s a movie going on!
What is the movie? How is it played?
I don’t know. You’ll know if you go and see it?
I've gone to see it a long time ago, and I only saw a weird-looking machine and a big piece of cloth. We were asked to see the big piece of cloth?
No, no, I heard that it won’t be released until night! I heard that someone can get out of that piece of cloth, but who would move?
You're just bragging. How could a person run onto the cloth? And still move? Bragging, bragging!
Oops, that’s what people say, can it be fake? If you don’t believe it, you can wait until you go and see it tonight and you’ll know?
The movie screen was pulled up early and the projector was put up early.
It immediately attracted the curiosity and onlookers of countless people.
However, facing this large piece of hanging cloth, the people talked a lot, not knowing what it was used for.
Some people said that people would come out and move up there, but few people believed it.
This curiosity lasted until night.
At night, it really reached its climax.
Because they were all dressed up, the movie wouldn't be played until evening.
Now they all want to see how this movie is played.
In front of each screen, countless people were surrounded, and the blockage was tight.
Well, even inside the palace, there is a movie screening area.
Of course, only the emperor's concubines and other important ministers can see the movies played here.
Movies are a new thing, so Li Shimin and other ministers naturally wanted to see what this movie was.
It was impossible for them to go out and crowd with the common people, so they simply screened the scene alone in the palace.
At this time, movies still needed a separate generator.
Not long after, the generator came and the camera put out the light, which happened to shine on the screen hanging in front.
After adjusting the angle, it was just right.
The movie announcer presses the button to start the movie.
Thump! Thump! Thump thump thump!
In the movie, a piece of music was played first, which shocked everyone.
Immediately afterwards, a line of words appeared on the movie.
"The Battle of the Tang Dynasty"
Then there is the list of actors.
Seeing the subtitles scrolling on the screen, the audience watching below just thought it was so magical!
Is this a movie?
Is it so fun?
Not to mention others, even Li Shimin and a group of ministers watched with great interest.
I just think this movie is really interesting.
The next moment, the movie camera turned and a village suddenly appeared in front of it.
Thick smoke rose, cries were heard, and crows flew across the sky.
The sudden shot shocked everyone.
This, this, how the hell is this put in?
Is this a village?
Many people ran to the back of the screen out of curiosity and looked at it carefully for a long time.
Then I discovered that behind the screen, just like in front of the screen, I couldn't see the reason at all.
The audience was really weird.
It turns out that the previous rumors were all true!
This can not only fit people into this piece of cloth, but also an entire village!
This is really amazing!
What was photographed next was the village that was attacked by Nanzhao.
There were flames of war all over the place, bloodstains everywhere, dead bodies scattered everywhere, and people crying in pain.
Such a true record of the horrific scenes of war made many people cry silently along with them.
Who said that Datang and Nanzhao were pretending to fight?
Don't they all have eyes?
Can't they see that so many people are being humiliated?
Next, the scene changed to a scene of gathering before the war.
A young general, standing in front of the army, was giving an impassioned lecture:
Brothers! The Nanzhao barbarians killed my father and brother and insulted my wife and daughter. What should we do?
Kill! Kill! Kill!
OK! The whole army listens to the order and sets off!
Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!
Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!
Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!
This scene made countless people excited to see it!
Even Li Shimin was in agitated mood!
There are only veterans such as Cheng Yaojin, which feels very unsatisfactory.
Oops, what happened? Just these few words? If it were me, Cheng Shang, I would definitely say a lot more!
What kind of nonsense are you talking about? It’s not even worthy of my old Qin’s shoes!
Next, the army marched out, and the heroic scene of thousands of troops and horses galloping past made countless people watch with enthusiasm.
Have they ever seen such a scene?
And then the war broke out.
The Tang army and the Nanzhao army encountered each other, and the two sides fought so brutally that it was difficult to distinguish them.
In the end, leaving corpses everywhere, the Tang army finally defeated the Nanzhao army, but the Tang army itself also suffered heavy casualties.
In the palace, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong looked at each other doubtfully.
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but ask: Is this true? Is Nanzhao really that powerful?
Yuchi Gong didn't believe it either, because he had seen how powerful the Yizhou Army was.
He didn't believe that the Nanzhao army could be so powerful and that it could fight the Yizhou army to a close.
If Nanzhao's army was so powerful, wouldn't it have invaded Datang long ago?
But this is a movie!
But, how could this be fake?
Now, they don't know how the movie was made.
As for new things, they will instinctively think that the movie will not be fake!
Could it be that the Nanzhao army was really that powerful?
They didn't quite believe it, but this was shown in a movie, but they couldn't help but not believe it!
Next, the battlefield was cleaned, and a young warrior, who was heavily rewarded, was dying.
Then, Wang Fangyi walked up to him.
The soldier said weakly: General, after I die, please tell my mother that I am not a coward and I did not embarrass him!
Wang Fangyi turned his head and said softly: You can rest in peace and recuperate. Don't worry, you will get better.
The young soldier shook his head: General, I am afraid that my injury will not recover, but I know it well!
Before I die, I want to see my hometown.
Wang Fangyi nodded, and directly carried the young soldier out with his soldiers and asked him to face the direction of his hometown.
Saner, Shitou, I see you! And Xiuer, I have failed you in this life, and I will definitely marry you in the next life!
You all live well and live a good life. As long as we are here, we will not let any foreigners invade the Tang Dynasty!
In this life, I feel it is my honor to be able to become a warrior of the Tang Dynasty.
I will not regret entering China in this life, and I will still be a Tang Dynasty person in the next life!
After shouting the last words, the young warrior dropped his head and passed away.
After this section, the people in the audience suddenly burst into tears.
Many people were shouting after him.
I will not regret entering China in this life, and I will still be a Tang Dynasty person in the next life!
This sentence really made their blood boil and made them passionate.
And from this soldier's words, they also felt how much the frontier soldiers had paid.
If there were no frontier warriors, where would their days of stability and peace be?
Inside the palace, veterans such as Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong also applauded.
Even they also shouted these words.
As the emperor, Li Shimin's eyes shone and his face showed a thoughtful look.
Although the movie made by the King of Shu had his own intentions.
But the theme of this movie is actually very much in line with Datang's interests.
I will not regret entering China in this life, and I will still be a Tang Dynasty person in the next life!
Is there a better slogan than this?
This movie is worth promoting!
The movie then plays.
Next, there is the dangerous geographical environment of Nanzhao.
The soldiers trudged through mountains and rivers, and waded through swamps. Many soldiers were mercilessly swallowed by the swamps.
Crossing the uninhabited mountains, the poisonous insect miasma caused the soldiers to continuously reduce their numbers.
The terrain of Nanzhao is really too dangerous.
No wonder the King of Shu never captured Nanzhao!
Originally they thought it was a game played by the King of Shu and Nanzhao!
