Chapter 576 Someone is doing something, the good news comes
Hearing Changsun Wuji say this, Li Er nodded secretly from the side.
"That's right, auxiliary machine. What you said is very reasonable. It doesn't matter if you fail once.
In this way, at least we know that this vast world is full of wonders.
Waiting for the next time we fight against the Tubo people, we will know their shortcomings and be able to grasp them easily when fighting.
Send me an order to send another 30,000 soldiers to the southwest border. But this time, we will not fight the Tibetans, but focus on defense.
If the Tubo people dare to come, guard it tightly and don't let them get in even a bit.
In addition, the next thing is to arrange for the soldiers to go for training.
It’s just a minor altitude sickness. There are so many high mountains in Datang, so why don’t we have them all at our fingertips?”
"It's Your Majesty."
"Well, I was also at fault for losing the battle with Tubo this time. If I had listened to what my good brother said, I would not have made the soldiers at the southwest border pay such a heavy price.
At the same time, the more important thing for a general is to brainstorm ideas and be good at listening to other people's opinions.
If the soldiers at the front had not acted too hastily and were busy with the soldiers, they would have listened to the dissuasion of the group of military doctors before the war started, postponed the attack for a few days, and reported the matter.
I will also go to Zhaojiazhuang to inquire in person, so that the sacrifice of so many soldiers will not be in vain."
As a king, even if you do something wrong, you cannot say that you have done something wrong.
But this time, for him, Li Er, it didn't hurt to admit the matter openly.
After handling this matter properly, wait for the subsequent training of the soldiers to be completed, that is, the day they will be aligned to launch the attack.
"It's Your Majesty."
Li Er nodded secretly when he heard the words, took care of the next things, sat aside and started busy again.
The army that failed in the southwest border campaign against Tibet began to retreat rapidly.
Only about 10,000 of the soldiers who went to fight came back this time, and the rest were all buried in the enemy's territory. It was said that the endless anger was bound to wipe out all the Tibetan children, but it was just like that.
helpless.
Now that failure has become a reality, the next thing to do is to work hard and become stronger.
Arriving at Southwest Pass, we quietly waited for the news from Chang'an City.
Within a few days, news came from Chang'an.
"Report, report, news has arrived from General Chang'an."
When I heard the news from Chang'an City, my heart kept fluctuating.
Of course, no matter what Chang'an City said, even if he was asked to go back and punish his crimes, he would have no regrets.
After opening the letter and seeing what His Majesty said, the rest of the soldiers couldn't help but come forward to check it out. After reading the entire letter, they knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"General, general, what did your Majesty say?"
After everyone read the contents of the letter, they all took a deep breath.
His Majesty did not blame them. After all, this kind of thing was unbelievable and beyond their imagination.
But at the same time, they also criticized them. Since the military doctor said it, why not report it for questioning?
Everyone was fined half a year's salary, and their merits and demerits were equally balanced. At the same time, more than 30,000 people were sent to Chang'an City for reinforcements, so that everyone could hold on tightly.
Wait until your soldiers go to train, and then come to support them after training. At that time, they can attack the city and seize the territory and completely capture the Tubo people.
"Everyone has seen what His Majesty said. If this is the case, everyone should start preparing.
Pay close attention to training and defense, and don't let this Tubo kid take advantage of the chaos to attack us and capture us."
"It's the general!"
The general sat aside and took a deep breath, okay, okay.
If His Majesty is angry, they will all be implicated.
Soldiers, your blood will not be shed in vain. Give us one year and wait for our army to be trained. We will go to fight against Tibet and avenge you.
For a time, the whole world began to enter a stable stage again, and all the imperial examinations and military examinations were completed.
Things at the southwest border have also begun to fall into calm, and people all over the world have begun to harvest. This year is another happy year.
The joy of the harvest spread from everywhere, and in the morning the ministers below were reporting on the world's events one after another.
People all over the world are full of happiness, and this year is truly a bumper year.
God bless our Tang Dynasty, with abundant rain in both spring and summer, so that these grains can be absorbed just right.
Good harvest this year.
Everyone was filled with smiles. After hearing the news, Li Er smiled with satisfaction.
Yes, this good news came one after another, which made me feel quite good about becoming an emperor.
He glanced at the ministers and made some inquiries.
See if there's anything else going on?
Everyone shook their heads, there was nothing else to do now, since they were retreating from the court.
As the sound of retreating came, the ministers left the palace one after another and returned to their homes. Li Er hurried back to Tai Chi Hall and started to take care of himself.
Time is fleeting and fleeting.
Just when everyone was busy, there was a village about 100 miles away from Zhaojiazhuang.
A group of people gathered here.
About 50 people were discussing.
"How's the investigation going?"
"Brother, I have found out everything. The factories next to Zhaojiazhuang are heavily guarded. At least there are more than 50 people in each factory.
Our brothers stepped forward to take a look, but were driven over by their men before they even got close."
Judging from their intentions, if we get close, they will definitely attack us.
Moreover, everyone is a martial arts practitioner and should be a martial arts practitioner. If we go there, we must use our weapons and speed to annihilate them together.
Destroy their factory directly, and we must not stay there for a long time, otherwise we may all be trapped inside.
"yes."
"Since this is my order, we will attack their factory under the cover of darkness tonight."
"It's my lord!"
It was late at night and everyone was quiet, and everyone began to enter the rest stage.
In addition to the sound of clanging iron coming from the blacksmith shop, workers in the paper mill and printing factory were only allowed to work during the day and not at night.
If they accidentally touch a candle, what awaits them will definitely be death, and what awaits them will definitely be a burning camp.
Therefore, in this case, Li Er did not allow them to continue working.
Just do all the work during the day.
"Hey, it's another boring day."
The guards of the paper mill gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and chatting while patrolling. They were originally the guards of the palace.
After receiving an order from His Majesty, I was directly dispatched to Zhaojiazhuang to deal with the factory.
Everyone is very serious about these places, and they come here to inspect on time and step by step every day.
Moreover, the food is just as good as the food in the palace, and the salary is also based on the court.
Before, I thought that when I came here, I couldn't work in the palace, so I was far away from the court.
Nowadays, people realize that working here is actually more relaxed.
The so-called small enemies probably wouldn't dare to come over if they had the courage to do so.
Except for the people arranged by His Majesty who will come here from time to time to check, the people from Zhaojiazhuang will not send anyone here at all. All the power is in the hands of Your Majesty.
Who says it's not?
The shopkeeper has given us such a good job, so we must keep a close eye on the factory to prevent any minors from coming in to cause trouble.
After arriving here, His Majesty has only one identity, that of Shopkeeper Li. No one is allowed to reveal his true identity.
During the long night, we talked about dirty jokes.
There are also two days of rest in a month. During these two days, you can go home and see your wife and children. Of course, if you don't have a wife or children, you can also go to a brothel and get drunk. Anyway, it is very cool.
It was a murderous night, and the people patrolling inside were chatting, while the guards stationed outside were staring at the side.
At the same time, a group of people and horses rushed here in a hurry.
It stopped about two miles away from their factory.
This is a forest, and after passing through this forest, there is no obstruction.
"Everyone, just rush out and kill them. Kill them to pieces. Finally, light the torches and burn the entire factory to the ground. The mission is complete."
We counted the number of people again and arranged the next tasks.
Mounting their horses, whipping their whips, everyone quickly charged towards the paper mill!
I heard the sound of horses galloping in the distance.
Why are there horses galloping around in the middle of the night?
From what we can see with the naked eye, this group of people is rushing toward their paper mill quickly.
The soldiers stationed here shouted, "Who doesn't dismount quickly?" The heavy ground in front is approaching and they will be killed without mercy.
However, no matter how they shouted, the group of people on horseback still rushed towards them quickly.
Seeing this scene, everyone shouted, "Oh no, this is the enemy."
Hearing this sound, the enemy immediately alerted them.
The soldiers inside quickly rushed out, and from a distance they saw a group of them rushing over on horseback.
Fortunately, preparations had been made in advance. With an arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops came to meet them.
This signal was sent, and the soldiers on both sides could see it, and they quickly arranged the horse-repelling stakes, preparing to keep all the enemies out.
"If there is a horse-rejecting stake, dismount and kill!"
"Fire the arrow.
Fortunately, everyone practiced diligently, and no one thought that this would really come in handy one day.
They saw the arrows being shot out in overwhelming numbers, and the enemy on the other side also drew their bows and shot arrows towards them.
Shooting with a bow and arrow from a long distance is the most efficient and the most convenient way to kill people.
However, after dense arrows were shot at the guards at their factory, the arrows hit the guards but could not penetrate!
The armor arranged by Shopkeeper Li for them is indeed invulnerable.
Kill these enemies.
On the other hand, their group of enemies were shot by the soldiers over there, and several of them were wounded.
Then the two sides quickly attacked together and started fighting.
At the same time, surrounding factories heard the news and quickly dispatched personnel to provide reinforcements.
Damn it, I didn’t expect that enemies from all directions would come to reinforce them and destroy them.
Why they are so confident is because they not only carry weapons but also wear armor.
"These people are indeed a group of thieves, don't let them go."
A group of soldiers guarding the factory saw the group of thieves coming this time. They did not carry such weapons, and everyone was still wearing armor.
In this dynasty, weapons were allowed to be possessed by the private sector, but the use of armor was not allowed to be owned privately.
And now the group of people who came to attack them not only had armor, but were also so powerful, they were indeed a group of thieves.
Even though they are so powerful, in order to hide their identity, they just arranged the software prepared by His Majesty.
But now facing this group of rebellious officials and traitors, follow me and kill them!
The people who came to attack were full of disdain. The armor they wore was no match for 200 soldiers without armor.
Why does it take everyone an hour to resist them, unless Chang'an City sends regular troops to fight.
kill.
However, when the weapon was cut down, the other person's weapon quickly blocked and they wanted to shoot. Why did nothing happen to them when the arrow hit them?
For a moment, this matter appeared particularly embarrassing.
Aren't they not wearing armor? What's going on?
However, by accident, two of their men were shot through directly.
For a moment, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Fight quickly, otherwise the night will be long and full of dreams."
However, when fighting with it, there was a crackling sound of fighting. I wanted to cut it down, but the other person's weapon directly connected with my own weapon and broke into two pieces.
Everyone who came to see this scene was stunned. How could it be possible?
"Xiao Xiao, you dare to be distracted at this critical moment, you should die."
The guard at the factory raised his sword and slashed with his weapon. The enemy who came forward tried to block quickly, but to his surprise, he couldn't stop them, and the armor was split into two halves.
Before he died, he didn't understand why their weapons were so powerful.
These armors have been tested by them personally, and even the weapons in the court are only as powerful as this.
Even the weapons used by the army in the court can't cut through. How can it be so powerful?
With the arrival of reinforcements, I thought they would be able to crush them, but in the end, more than 50 thieves were wiped out in an instant.
Seeing that something was going wrong, the remaining 10 or so people immediately changed direction and wanted to retreat!
Several thieves thought about retreating quickly, and the overwhelming arrows fired quickly, directly injuring them and knocking them off their horses. Only two people were left and disappeared into the vast night.
"It's too bad we let them escape."
He quickly stepped forward and prepared to capture everyone alive. However, when the enemies saw that they were about to be captured alive, they immediately drank poison and committed suicide.
Until everyone rushed over and found that they had died of poison.
"What a shame, they turned out to be a group of dead soldiers. Who are these people? Why did they come to attack?"
At the same time, Zhaojiazhuang's guards came galloping on horseback. When they arrived, the battle was over.
It was really interesting when I saw the corpse in front of me. How dare you come to our territory to cause trouble?
So, are there any casualties on your side?
"Captain Lin, there are no casualties on our side."
"Okay, let's clean up the battlefield first. I'll leave the task here to you. We'll withdraw first."
The people from Zhaojiazhuang came and left in a hurry, leaving behind everyone who gathered here, gathered the bodies of these people together, and put them aside.
Waiting for the arrival of tomorrow, go to Chang'an City to report to His Majesty.
This matter is definitely not a small matter. In addition to the fact that they came to attack the factory, this group of people actually wore armor. This matter is a bit big.
The next morning, when Li Er just woke up, the news from Zhaojiazhuang had already reached him.
Regarding this matter, Li Er listed it as a relatively important matter for him.
800-mile expedited service. If something like this happens, no matter what you are doing at any time, even if you are sleeping, you should focus on the 800-mile expedited service in the previous court.
Those that are more important but not as urgent as 800 are listed as second.
It is less urgent than the 800-mile expedited. If you are in court, wait until you leave the court before telling you. If you are sleeping, wait until you wake up.
Just after he woke up, he heard the news from Zhaojiazhuang. Li Er frowned and arranged for people to put his hands there first. After attending the morning meeting, he would go to Zhaojiazhuang to check it out personally.
After finishing the morning service, he asked Changsun Wuji to drive, while he hurried towards Zhaojiazhuang.
After arriving in Zhaojiazhuang, we went to the paper mill and saw these corpses.
Moreover, everyone on these corpses is still wearing armor. Although these armors are not as strong as the armors of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, these people have violated their own inverse scales. It is really unreasonable.
"housekeeper!"
"The shopkeeper's."
"Immediately send someone to take these corpses to Chang'an City and hand them over to the government.
"It's from the shopkeeper!"
After it was submitted to the government, the government intervened and arranged for a simultaneous investigation by Dali Temple.
Li Er said that he would definitely control all of these people who dared to cause trouble with him.
Otherwise, do you really think that I, Datang, can be manipulated casually?
Since I came to Zhuangzi, I took advantage of the situation and went to Zhuangzi and chatted with Xiandi for a while.
After chatting about what happened last night, it seemed that these people were most likely jealous of the money they had made and wanted to cause trouble.
Originally, I had kept my wealth private and thought it was already secretive enough. Who knew that someone with ulterior motives would also target me?
But don’t worry, my dear brother, I have arranged the manpower to handle the matter properly.
"I said, Lao Li, you have to remember that all these people are like this. There are not many people who hate but laugh at.
Remember, send as many extra manpower as possible to make all arrangements."
Although he said that he is not short of money and does not want to buy these things, now that these factories are on his side, he can use them for his own use.
It is also related to him. Zhao Mu said that if someone dared to cause trouble again, he would not mind wiping them all out.
Otherwise, do they really think they are easy to bully?
"Yes, dear brother, these people are really hateful. I have arranged for people to transfer them all to the government.
Presumably, the government will investigate and eliminate these thieves in one fell swoop."
Zhao Mu waved his hand, saying that these matters are not for him to think about, and are all left to him, Old Li, to arrange them.
"Brother Haole, don't worry, I will definitely arrange these things for him properly.
By the way, dear brother, I’m still quite busy in Chang’an City today, so I won’t bother you here and say goodbye first!”
Li Er came in a hurry, then hurried back to Chang'an City, and returned to the palace to get busy!
On the other side, a group of people from Dali Temple began to take over this place and investigate the matter.
Li Er, who returned to the palace, began to fall into deep thought. Who was messing with him behind his back?
Could it be that they have five surnames and seven hopes?
This group of clan members really like to go against themselves.
But logically speaking, they should also know that hiding armor is a serious crime against the Nine Clan.
It was a major crime to punish the Nine Tribes. Even among their group, there should be few people who would dare to do something like this to me, right?
Thinking of this, Li Er frowned.
But for me at this moment, no matter who they are or what their reasons are, if they dare to cause trouble with me, I will definitely let them die!
Speaking of this, I snorted coldly and slammed the table hard. This is really unreasonable, damn it.
If I knew who was behind this, I would definitely cut him into pieces!
Li Er took a deep breath, and the next thing was nothing he could worry about.
Let them handle it!
"What, you mean you all failed?"
"Yes, sir, everything failed. We went out with 50 people this time, and 48 were broken. Only the two of us escaped and came back. We were defeated!"
If they fail, equip them with weapons and some armor, but in the end it ends in failure?
Of course, sir, after this failure, we will definitely not be able to ask for the subsequent money, but the money promised before is still available.
However, this failure is not entirely our fault, but because the enemies are also wearing soft armor and are invulnerable.
In addition, their weapons are very powerful and can even break our armor!
Thinking of what happened yesterday, everyone took a deep breath. This business was really a loss.
More than 50 of their brothers went to fight, and more than 40 brothers took them in with them, but it was fine, they died as a group.
In this way, even though the matter failed, they could still get more money from the split!
"By the way, sir, what do you think of this money?"
"You can still have this money, so I'll give it to you."
The two of them smiled brightly when they heard this.
For them, as long as they do not harm the business, they will make a profit.
However, when they took off their armor and were about to collect the money, the accompanying guards quickly stepped forward and killed the two of them directly with their swords in hand! "Why are you people so untrustworthy?"
"We talk about credibility, but this is unreasonable.
If you handle this matter properly, all the money this time will definitely be given to you.
But you guys can't solve such a trivial matter, so why are you left here?
Will I leave you to go home and be cool?
If we are caught while we are cool, will all of us be confessed?
By then, it will be absolutely impossible to follow the clues and investigate the matter."
Put these two pairs of armor aside directly, and prepare everything including the forged letter.
All the fingers are pointed at the Turks.
After all, you can’t say that something like this was done by a group of ordinary businessmen, right?
No one would believe him.
So when the spearhead is pointed at the Turks, the Turks and the court will be dog-eat-dog, while they will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
This was the most beautiful idea in their minds. Everyone laughed when they thought of this. Although they did not succeed in making things happen, for the first time they also knew what was really going on over there.
This means that if you do something next time, you will be able to understand how to do it without making mistakes.
While thinking about it, everyone laughed.
Although they said they failed this time, they also knew what happened in the court.
This will also play a very important role in some of the things they want to do next.
In addition, the rest of the group, headed by their group, will also have to sort out these things for him.
We must not let the court discover these things, even though their seven families are the most powerful families in the world.
But using armor to arrange these things this time has touched everyone's nerves.
It has already touched the nerves of the court. If something happens, no one will be able to save them.
So you must be low-key when you should be low-key, and you must be low-key when you should be in trouble. You must not confuse these things for him.
After thinking of this, the next thing will be easier to handle.
On the other hand, after Li Er left all these matters to Dali Temple, he waited quietly in the palace.
Originally, this matter had touched a nerve for him.
I had already thought about who might be responsible for the incident, but after an investigation by Dali Temple, it turned out that the incident all pointed to the Turks.
Turk?
When he saw the final situation, it turned out that the Turks were causing trouble, Li Er smiled disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, the Turks are causing trouble."
You can also be regarded as official servants of Dali Temple. What is the position of Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty? I think you should understand without me having to tell you.
Regarding who is causing trouble with me this time, is it possible that you, the officials of Dali Temple, cannot understand?
He's just a little Turk, even if he causes trouble, the whole Tang Dynasty will suffer from cholera.
Rather than being a small paper factory, Li Er looked at everyone in disbelief.
It is said that they are the Turks who are causing trouble. Is there any value in that?
It's just something carefully deceived. A paper mill is completely fictitious and has no value to them. They are just asking for trouble when they go to cause trouble.
Moreover, this matter is too simple, so simple that no one will believe it.
this?
After hearing what His Majesty said, the officials of Dali Temple began to think.
The main reason is that all the current spearheads are directed at the Turks, unless they are investigated in depth and studied slowly!
"Okay, let's just end this matter with the Turks causing trouble, and don't dig deeper from inside."
Li Er knew that even if they dug deep inside, they wouldn't be able to find anything.
I still proceed from the interests of my own background.
Who will benefit in the end if their own paper mills and printing plants are destroyed by others?
That's who arranged what happened this time.
After careful calculation, there is no need to guess at this time, and everyone knows who will ultimately benefit from this matter?
Thinking of this, huh, it makes no sense to have trouble with them or with the court.
It's just that their methods of committing crimes were relatively complex, which didn't allow them to get the handle.
Therefore, Li Er did not want to delve into this matter.
But this incident also reminded me that this group of clan members are not over at all trying to cause trouble.
Especially since he had arranged so many factories, Li Er felt that he had to arrange them well.
Having come to so many places, the direct interests would touch the most essential interests of their clan members.
And when the most essential interests of this group of people are touched, they will inevitably cause trouble with themselves.
So after I went through this matter, I could understand it naturally.
This group of clans must not let themselves be caught, otherwise you people will definitely be wiped out by me.
However, the top priority is not to break up with this group of people. The matter needs to be solved step by step, and we must not rush it.
In addition, there are these advanced things. After mastering these advanced things, you will have confidence when you go to exterminate them.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Now I, Datang, am so confident, all because of my good brother.
Li Er felt that he must hug his brother's thigh tightly.
You must never let others cause trouble with you, otherwise this group of people will be too troublesome.
Thinking of these, Li Er took a deep breath.
The next step is to develop stably and at the same time send people to arrange the industry in Zhaojiazhuang more stably. This group of people must not be allowed to cause trouble.
Although this group of people can constantly cause trouble, he can crush them forcefully.
But if they succeeded once, it would mean that the whole army on Datang's side would be annihilated.
Thinking of this, I smiled disdainfully.
You guys, don’t be complacent about your clan. Don’t be complacent. If I tolerate it for a few more years, I will completely wipe out you!
After finishing arranging the next tasks, I sat aside and started busy again.
Zhaojiazhuang!
"Master, Master, it's a big deal, my wife is giving birth!"
Now these three wives have reached the final stage, and all of them come to the drug store around the clock to have regular check-ups every day.
I would read it in person every day. Now that I have come to Datang and will have my own heir, my whole heart has become completely different.
Before, it seemed that the Tang Dynasty had its own territory and its own Zhuangzi, but it always felt like a rootless duck.
Although he is already in the Tang Dynasty, his thinking is still in modern times.
But now that he has a wife and children, he has firmly taken root in the Tang Dynasty!
