Chapter 1719 There is Maya on the other side of the sea
Li Shimin stood in front of the gate of Chang'an City, took a long breath, and entered Chang'an City silently. Although he was still a little unwilling, the shadow of death that hung in his heart finally dissipated completely.
Moreover, the result was much better than he expected, although he still didn't know anything about the situation on the other side of the sea.
After entering Chang'an City, Li Shimin immediately ordered to summon all the generals to discuss matters.
………
………
In the third year of Tianxiang's reign in the Da'an Kingdom, on November 22nd, the battle against the Tang Dynasty lasted for more than three months, and finally ended with the destruction of the Tang Kingdom and the surrender of Li Shimin.
In the Da'an Kingdom camp, all generals above the rank of army commander gathered in Wang Junlin's imperial tent.
"My dear friends, Li Shimin has accepted my terms and he has surrendered." Wang Junlin's words were gentle, but they caused a stir among the generals who didn't know the truth. Li Shimin actually surrendered?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty." Everyone prostrated in unison and congratulated.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. I have to arrange some things next. Listen carefully." Wang Junlin smiled, waved his hands for everyone to stand up, and glanced over. Everyone was solemn, except for Du Ruhui, a civil servant, and Shen Guo.
Except for the children, all the military generals stood upright, waiting for Wang Junlin to speak.
………
………
Three days later, October 25th.
The Da'an army still surrounded Chang'an City, and the southern city gate was wide open. Li Shimin led an army of 100,000 soldiers without armor or weapons in two lines and left the city one after another.
Wang Junlin, Nie Xiaoyu, Shen Guoer and other generals with hundreds of masters were watching these soldiers leaving the city. Tens of thousands of troops on both sides were aiming their fast crossbows at this place, ready to attack at any time.
"Stop!" Nie Xiaoyu suddenly pointed at one of the soldiers and shouted.
Li Shimin in front immediately stopped and stared at the group of soldiers as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Disperse." Wang Junlin suddenly ordered.
He and everyone around him immediately flew away.
boom!
In the flash of lightning, everyone's expressions changed, because the group of about twenty soldiers exploded.
The flesh, flesh and bones of the twenty soldiers instantly turned into fragments and shot in all directions like bullets. Hundreds of nearby Tang Army soldiers were directly beaten into sieves. Most of them died on the spot. Dozens of them lay on the ground and let out shrill screams.
.
Shen Guoer, Cheng Yaojin and others all looked at Li Shimin with murderous intent on their faces. Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed.
As the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Guard Corps, responsible for the security of Wang Junlin, Cheng Yaojin said in a cold voice: "Li Shimin, you dare to assassinate His Majesty."
Li Shimin's face turned slightly pale and he said angrily: "General Cheng, this was definitely not my fault."
Cheng Yaojin wanted to say something else, but Wang Junlin suddenly said: "It's not him."
Cheng Yaojin and others did not dare to say anything more. Wang Junlin waved his hand and motioned for Li Shimin to continue walking with his people. According to the plan, Wang Junlin had arranged naval warships to send them to the Yangtze River through the Grand Canal, and then along the way.
He went to the sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River, where Li Shimin had prepared warships that could seat 100,000 men and be able to cross state lines.
Most of a day later, Li Shimin and his party successfully boarded the ship and were sent away, but Puppet No. 1 was never found.
"No. 1 is still in Chang'an City. Send the order and implement plan No. 2."
Wang Junlin gave an order, and the two hundred thousand troops surrounding Chang'an City began to move.
First, the four city gates were firmly guarded, and then a hundred thousand people quickly climbed onto the city wall, but instead of facing the outside of the city, they stared at the inside of the city. It was impossible for anyone to climb over the city wall and leave.
The remaining 100,000 people will be under the unified control of Nie Xiaoyu to find puppet No. 1 from the 600,000 people.
With Puppet No. 1's ability, if you want to find him among 600,000 people in a big city like Chang'an City, even with Nie Xiaoyu's magical powers, it is almost like finding a needle in a haystack.
The search lasted for a month. During this month, Wang Junlin even started planning to move the capital to Chang'an, but Puppet No. 1 was never found.
………
………
In the East China Sea, a thousand warships are distributed on the sea. Li Shimin's 100,000 troops have all boarded the long-distance warships.
On a huge ship worth 5,000 tons, Li Shimin looked at the black warships on the sea. Although many of his soldiers were not familiar with water combat and were a little seasick and vomiting, Li Shimin regained his ambition at this time.
No matter what the situation is on the other side of the sea, even if there are monsters and monsters, as long as there is no more King Junlin, Li Shimin has the confidence to regain his power and establish his own Tang Empire.
At this moment, a battleship came quickly towards this side.
"Your Majesty, it should be Xuan Ba." Chai Shao supported his seasick wife Li Xiuning and whispered to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin sighed with a complicated expression and said nothing.
Not long after, the giant ship, which was also made of 5,000 pieces of material, came nearby and put down a small boat. A burly man rode the small boat and approached Li Shimin's main ship.
………
………
After a while, Li Xuanba came to Li Shimin, knelt down to Li Shimin and Li Xiuning with a thump, and said with tears in his eyes: "Xuanba has met the second brother and sister."
Li Shimin let out a long sigh and remained indifferent. Li Xiuning, with red eyes, had already stepped forward to help Li Xuanba up.
To be honest, Li Shimin once hated Li Xuanba deeply because he betrayed the Li family.
However, he was able to survive this time because Li Xuanba interceded with Wang Junlin.
Therefore, this hatred dissipated. When I saw Li Xuanba kneeling down with tears streaming down his face, his true feelings were revealed, and the long-lost family affection was awakened a little.
In any case, his two brothers have been killed by him, and his father has also been killed.
Because of his death, he is the only one left with his biological brother, who has the same father and mother.
Li Xuanba, his second brother, and his sister had not seen each other for more than ten years, and they were really excited. The three of them said something, and Li Shimin got down to business.
Li Xuanba was also different from the past. He said with a solemn expression: "Second brother, you don't have to worry about sailing this way. The sailors on the second brother's ship have been to the mainland on the other side of the sea before."
As he spoke, he took out a map from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin and said: "Second brother, this is the treasure map I asked for from my master. It shows the mountains and rivers on the continent on the other side of the sea, as well as the mountains and rivers on the continent.
There are tribes where some indigenous savages may exist.”
Li Shimin's expression perked up, his eyes sparkled, and he solemnly took the map from Li Xuanba's hands with both hands, looked at it carefully, and carefully stuffed it into his arms and put it away.
"Xuanba, why don't you follow my brother to the other side of the sea and fight for my Li family?" Li Shimin's eyes flashed, but his true nature was hard to change, and he began to dig into Wang Junlin's corner.
Li Xuanba scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Second brother, I'm really sorry. Your Majesty actually said that if I am willing, I can follow my second brother and even bring some of my troops there.
, but I like to fight, but there are just some uncivilized savages on the other side of the sea, and there is no point in fighting. Your Majesty has promised me to fight the Turks in the north. So I don’t want to leave."
Li Shimin looked disappointed, but he didn't force it.
The three Li brothers and sisters said some more words. Li Shimin took the opportunity to ask all kinds of secret information about Wang Junlin. Li Xuanba said some things, but reserved some things.
Only then did Li Shimin realize that his younger brother, who still looked a bit naive, was actually rough and subtle, and he was like a mirror in his heart. No wonder Wang Junlin let him lead the army to destroy Goguryeo last year, and then let him serve as the commander to fight in the north.
Turks.
Half an hour later, Li Xuanba said goodbye to Li Shimin and Li Xiuning, boarded his battleship, and headed for Snake Island.
"Xuan Ba, my father was poisoned to death by Li Jing. I will never lie to you about this matter. You can investigate in secret."
But Li Shimin said something else when he said goodbye, which planted a thorn in Li Xuanba's heart.
With a look of uncertainty on his face, Li Xuanba originally didn't want to go to Snake Island, but on his way to see Li Shimin, he received a message from Nie Xiaoyu in the form of a flying eagle, asking him to go to Snake Island after meeting Li Shimin.
Island, as for the reason, they did not say.
Li Xuanba always followed his master Nie Xiaoyu's words and immediately went to Snake Island quickly.
But what he didn't know was that in a hidden place on the bottom floor of the battleship where he was, Puppet No. 1, whose clothes were soaked, was hiding there.
Three days later, Li Xuanba's battleship arrived on Snake Island. Not long after, an earth-shattering explosion came from Nie Xiaoyu's small building in the center of Snake Island.
The whole small building turned into ruins.
………
………
At the same time, Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu were chatting in the imperial palace in Chang'an City.
"No matter how No. 1 survived in the body of the Sword God, it is certain that he will not survive in this state for long. Therefore, he must be going to Snake Island to find his remains."
"And Li Shimin and his party have always been watched by our people, and No. 1 will definitely find out, so they never dared to leave Li Shimin and his party."
"And when Xuanba went to see Li Shimin, he was the only one on the 1st who escaped from Li Shimin's army and had no chance of being discovered by us heading to Snake Island."
"So, if the predictions are correct, No. 1 has been blown to pieces at this time and is completely dead."

…………
After a burst of spring rain, the sky is cloudless
A group of people with yellow skin and black hair used simple wooden hoes to hoe weeds, sow seeds and fertilize in the newly cultivated fields.
If other indigenous tribes on this continent saw this scene, they would be shocked, because they still rely on hunting to make a living, and at most they can only find some plant seeds in the forests and wilderness.
For example, corn, peas, etc. are also one of their foods.
However, they grilled or cooked corn and peas and ate them, but they never thought of growing these plants.
But the people of the tribe in front of them have begun to farm, which is naturally an earth-shaking change.
Moreover, these hoes and other working tools have never appeared on this continent. The indigenous residents will be very surprised to see them. Even the indigenous people who are farming have already used those tools two months ago.
After getting these tools in my hands and learning these methods of farming, I will look at the tools in my hands from time to time.
At this moment, a group of cavalry came galloping from a distance. The natives who were farming quickly put down their tools, kneeled on the ground respectfully and enthusiastically towards the visitor, and shouted loudly in not very standard words: "The Heavenly Kingdom
Envoy."
After a while, when the cavalry team came closer, many natives saw the leader clearly, their expressions became more fanatical, and they howled loudly: "King!"
There are thousands of cavalry in this team, and the leaders are Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, and Chai Shao. They brought so many people because Li Shimin and others came to this continent and there were not many war horses to tame.
It has been half a year since Li Shimin and his party came to this continent.
Not long after landing with more than 100,000 people, Li Shimin discovered that this new continent was indeed as Wang Junlin said, very, very big, seemingly no smaller than Middle-earth.
What excited Li Shimin the most was that there were indeed residents on this continent.
What Li Shimin was most worried about was that the country he established only had the 100,000 people he brought. Although some people brought their families with them when they left Chang'an, the population was too small. For him, it was too small.
It's no longer interesting.
and,
What excites Li Shimin even more is that unlike the people in the Western Regions or Tianzhu who are obviously different from the Chinese, the indigenous residents here also have black hair and yellow skin.
In half a year, there was no fighting at all. Li Shimin used some tricks to easily subdue the five tribes, and even made the five tribes willing to regard Li Shimin as their king and even their god.
Moreover, after half a year of investigation by Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin, Chai Shao and others, they excitedly discovered that the people here were probably, like them, descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties.
The reason why the two made such a judgment is not simply because these indigenous people have yellow skin and black hair, but because they have some words and knowledge of the local indigenous people.
For example, they found that some local indigenous people called children "dolls", called rivers rivers, and called boats sampans.
There are also some tribes who heard that the witch doctors actually knew the art of acupuncture.
The most important thing is that after further investigation, they found that these tribes had many ancient stone carvings, and the words on them were clearly very similar to ancient Chinese oracle bone inscriptions, and some of the words were even exactly the same.
"Your Majesty, I have carefully checked the ancient books I brought from Chang'an City these days, and discovered an ancient secret, which may explain why these natives are also descendants of my Chinese people." Changsun Wuji suddenly said.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he said: "Ai Qing, tell me quickly and let me listen."
Changsun Wuji said: "In the past, King Wu attacked Zhou. King Zhou was sending general You Houxi to attack Dongyi. The country was empty. King Wu of Zhou took the opportunity to raise troops and defeated them in one battle. King Zhou died and the Shang Dynasty fell. After that, the Shang Dynasty
General Youhou Xi and more than 100,000 troops from Lin Fang, Renfang, Hufang and other tribes who were loyal to the Shang Dynasty suddenly disappeared, which became an eternal mystery."
Li Shimin thought thoughtfully and said: "In this case, the reason why there are those oracle-like stone carvings, jade guis, the simple acupuncture technique used by the witch doctor in their tribe, and the tear bamboo I just learned about yesterday
These traditional Chinese medicine remedies for healing injuries were attributed to the Shang Dynasty general Youhou Xi and the more than 100,000 troops from Lin Fang, Renfang, Hufang and other tribes who were loyal to the Shang Dynasty. These natives may be their descendants."
"It's just that during the Shang Dynasty, although the tribes were mainly tribes, there were already towns and countries. Why did their civilization gradually degenerate over the years after they came here and turned into a tribal model again."
Changsun Wuji pondered for a while and said: "I don't understand this either. Maybe after we turn all the natives of this continent into His Majesty's subjects, the reason for this will be clear."
Li Shimin perked up after hearing this and said: "Wuji, the royal city must be built within three months, and the five tribes must be divided into ten large towns and thirty villages as soon as possible according to the previous divisions."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The royal city can be built in three months at most. As for these tribes and natives, as long as they learn to farm, villages will naturally form next to the fields. When your Majesty issues the currency, money and goods transactions will begin."
After it became completely popular, markets and towns were slowly formed." Changsun Wuji was also very high-spirited now, and suddenly realized that it was not a bad thing that Wang Junlin didn't take him in. This kind of building a country from scratch will turn each one into a new one.
The primitive tribesmen who only knew how to hunt were gradually transformed into farmers and common people under their rule. The feeling of establishing villages and towns gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
At this time, Li Changfeng, the chief of the Dark Eagle Guard under Li Shimin, arrived on horseback and reported with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, a very large tribe was discovered in the south. The tribe is already like a country. They even have a city and a
Our own army. Although the city is small and dilapidated, and the weapons and equipment of the army are also very backward, it is obviously different from other tribes."
When Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, and Chai Shao heard this, they did not frown at all, but their eyes became as bright as stars, and they were all excited and excited.
It's really not that challenging to fight with some natives all day long.
"What's the name of that tribe, or that country?" Li Shimin suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked with a smile.
Li Changfeng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, that tribe is called Maya."
………
………
Another half year later, Da'an Kingdom, Chang'an City.
Shen Guoer routinely reported the latest information to Wang Junlin.
"Your Majesty, three days ago, General Li Xuanba had already captured the royal court of the Eastern Turks."
"All the nobles from the Japanese country will be escorted to Chang'an City in half a month. The officials selected by the imperial court have already gone to sea, and the Japanese country will soon be turned into a county of your majesty."
"Li Jing from the Western Region has already reached the Ili River."
"Several Tibetan kingdoms have been frightened by General Xu Shiji. They submitted letters of surrender and sent envoys over to see His Majesty."
"Qin Qiong led the army in the south and destroyed South Vietnam."
………
"What's the situation now with Li Shimin?" Wang Junlin finally asked.
Shen Guo'er quickly took out a piece of information and said, "Your Majesty, Guo'er was about to say something! This was just sent from the other side of the sea."
At that time, Wang Junlin sent thousands of warships to send Li Shimin and his party over. The crewmen operating the warships were all Wang Junlin's people. Li Shimin also knew this. According to the plan, Wang Junlin left half of the crewmen and warships with Li Shimin.
Naturally, there were people from the Ping An Mansion among these sailors. Li Shimin could not have imagined this, but he also acquiesced that there were people from Wang Junlin monitoring this continent.
"Your Majesty, it took Li Shimin more than two months to wipe out the large tribe called Maya on that continent. More than two thousand people died, and the losses were considerable." Shen Guoer reported with a smile.
"Maya..." Wang Junlin's eyes also lit up and he said: "It's not that Li Shimin underestimated the enemy, but that this Mayan tribe has its own secrets."
