In the eighth year of Zhenguan, he was born in Jiawu.
The railway line from Chang'an City to Luoyang City was finally opened to traffic. Li Er, who was very happy, once again summoned various envoys to ride from Chang'an City to Luoyang City to show the majesty of the Tang Dynasty in front of all nations.
Compared to the past, there was one more person in the envoy team this time, a person that Li Yunze paid great attention to.
This person's name is Lu Dongzan, and he is the Prime Minister of Tubo.
On this mission to Datang, on the one hand, he saw that Datang's hands had penetrated deeply into the Western Regions, and he was eager to come over to get information.
On the other hand, they want to seek help from Datang, and they want everything in terms of materials and technology.
Although Lu Dongzan came down from the mountain, his brain was not dizzy due to the enrichment of oxygen. On the contrary, he was very flexible.
As soon as he came here, he sent gold, silver and jewelry everywhere, and tried to find out information about the Tang Dynasty from all aspects.
The nobles were more strict with their mouths and did not think much of Lu Dongzan's gold, silver and jewelry. After all, they had been on the battlefield and knew that there were some things they should not say.
However, things were obviously not going well with the civil servants. Many people took the money and regarded Lu Dongxuan as a generous and heroic man, and they could talk about anything while having a drink together.
It can be said that since ancient times, civil servants have almost no sense of confidentiality and are extremely easy to be bribed.
In addition to simply inquiring, Lu Dongzan also traveled around to see with his own eyes the prosperity and technological development of the Tang Dynasty.
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, abundant supplies of materials, and advanced technology all left a deep impression on Lu Dongzan.
He dared to swear to the gods that he had never seen such a powerful, rich and civilized place in the world even in his dreams.
The endless crops on the Guanzhong Plain, the countless cattle, sheep and horses in Lijiazhuang Ranch, the various water conservancy facilities on the Eight Rivers around Chang'an, the mountains of goods in the East and West cities, especially the ones next to Longshouyuan.
The huge blacksmith shop that stretched for dozens of miles and continuously spewed black smoke into the sky made Lu Dongzan's eyes red.
Especially when he personally took the railway from Chang'an City to Shengzhou and felt the terrifying power brought by the steel behemoth. After getting off the train, his first thought was to grab it!
Primitive tribes have little civilization, and the most common principle is robbery.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t have it, just go and grab what’s available.
They don't think there is anything to be ashamed of, because they have no civilization or culture, so they naturally take pride in showing off their barbarism and force.
It's just that Lu Dongzan had the brains to see the Tang Dynasty's steel army. It was really a steel army. The Tang Army, especially the Tang Army deployed around Chang'an City, had a basic armor-wearing rate that was infinitely close to that of all members wearing armor. Among them, the iron armor was even more
Close to more than 80%.
Needless to say, the Tang Army's terrifying armor rate alone was enough to calm Lu Dongzan's frantic mind.
After all, the sentence before Chen Tang said, "The former five men can serve as Han soldiers and one (one Han can serve as five barbarians)" is "Hu people's weapons are dull and dull, and their bows and crossbows are not good."
Why weapons such as bows and crossbows are ineffective is of course because of the strong defensive armor.
The Tang army had so many armors, and its energy and energy were also extremely high. Naturally, Lu Dongzan knew very well that Tibet could not defeat them now.
When the robbers cannot be defeated, they will disguise themselves and wait for the opportunity in a pitiful disguise.
Lu Dongzan also found out that the rapid growth of productivity in the Tang Dynasty in recent years was closely related to the owner of Lijiazhuang.
It can even be said that basically all good things come from Lijiazhuang.
So what Lu Dongzan wanted to do most was to make friends with Li Yunze.
The train started and rumbled towards Luoyang.
The envoys looked around curiously, with a mixture of envy and fear on their faces.
Not to mention the steel behemoth that is said to be able to travel thousands of miles in a day. Just the steel laid along the way is a number that makes the envoys crazy, a number that they dare not even think about.
Lu Dongzan only looked at it for a few times and then withdrew his gaze, walking towards Li Yunze who had taken out a new book and was about to read it.
"Stop!"
Before Lu Dongzan could get closer, Li Yunze frowned and stretched out his hand to signal him to stop.
Lu Dongzan looked puzzled, but he spoke smoothly in Chinese, "What's wrong?"
"Have you ever taken a bath in your life?" Li Yunze did not hide the look in his eyes at all. "The smell of sex is coming over me before I even get close to you. Go away quickly and don't smoke me."
In an instant, Lu Dongzan's face turned extremely ugly.
Everyone around him also had expressions of amazement on his face and looked over subconsciously.
As the Prime Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan had never been so humiliated. If it had been on a high mountain, his bones would have been torn apart and used to make drums.
But this is Datang!
Thinking again about the mission he had shouldered, Lu Dongzan forcibly suppressed his anger, bowed to Li Yunze and turned around to leave.
Li Yunze didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to flip through the book.
After driving rumblingly all the way and passing Huazhou, Li Er came over and sat next to him.
Seeing Li Yunze putting away the book with alert eyes, Li Er's eyelids twitched unnaturally.
‘What’s there to hide? It’s like I’m going to steal your book, ugh.’
Li Er calmed down and asked with a smile, "I heard that you don't want to see Lu Dongzan?"
"It's not against him." Li Yunze, who looked calm, shook his head repeatedly. "I'm against all those who have ulterior motives."
"Lu Dongzan has ulterior motives?" Li Er frowned, "But many people say that he is upright and generous and a good man."
Li Yunze looked sideways and said, "I told His Majesty before about Tubo. Have you forgotten about it?"
Li Er touched his nose and said, "It's not as serious as you said."
Hearing this, Li Yunze's eyes sharpened, "Your Majesty is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and wants to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Er immediately said seriously, "This is natural. I shall protect the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"Have you ever thought about it, your majesty, that after the war with Tubo, the Tang army was defeated and the Tibetans conquered the prefectures and counties. Millions of Tang people were plundered and taken to the mountains as slaves. They were bullied, and their lives were worse than death, and their lives were worse than livestock. They were often raped in various ways.
They were tortured, and even after they died, they were stripped and made into musical instruments.”
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Li Er stood up excitedly and waved his arms, "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are invincible. They will defeat all enemies!"
Li Yunze, who looked indifferent, looked at him coldly. After a moment, he looked away and took out the book to read.
Everyone in the carriage looked over.
Li Er, whose face was as dark as water, glared at the people in the carriage fiercely, "Get out of here!"
Everyone dared not to listen, they all hurried to other carriages.
Li Er, panting heavily, sat down, put his hands on his knees and said nothing.
Li Yunze was reading a book, and Li Er was in a daze. The carriage was quiet, except for the sound of the wheels rubbing against the rails.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Er asked quietly, "Is Tubo so strong?"
"It's not that Tubo is that strong." Li Yunze closed the book and looked over, "It's that the Tang army will gradually lose its combat effectiveness."
"Impossible." Li Er shook his head repeatedly, "I, the Tang cavalry, are invincible."
"That's right now, what about later?"
Li Yunze looked slightly cold, "A hundred years later, there were more and more people in the Tang Dynasty, and the land was not enough to be divided. The clans, nobles, civil servants and generals began to annex the land. The soldiers even lost their own land, so there was no fighting capacity left.
"
"When His Majesty was alive, everything was fine. But His Majesty is no longer here. Who can guarantee that every future emperor will have your Majesty's confidence and determination?"
"The reason why the Tang army has strong combat effectiveness is because it can stand out with its military merits, so everyone naturally competes for the first place." Li Yunze smiled, but his smile was a little cold. "But a hundred years later, there are more and more children of noble civil and military officials, and they need military merits to gain benefits.
Under constant oppression and occupation, which soldier would still be willing to die for the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Er raised his hand to stop Li Er who was about to speak. "Don't say it's impossible. The military merit system in Qin Dynasty was so strict, but it collapsed immediately after Zulong's death. Even the people of Qin were unwilling to protect Qin, let alone the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Er, who was sitting on the chair, turned red, and his hands holding his knees could not help but tremble.
Li Chengqian looks like this. He doesn't know what he will do when he becomes emperor. God knows what kind of monsters will appear in the future.
During the Jin Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, all kinds of strange things emerged in endlessly, and Li Er was also frightened when he read the history books.
After a long silence, Li Er asked in detail, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"beat!"
Li Yunze said simply and neatly, "Keep moving outward. No matter how difficult the local conditions are, learn from Zulong and work hard to expand outward. Only by making the cake bigger can you avoid involution. If the clan has more honors, move outward."
After enfeoffment, when the population increased, they migrated out. Anyway, it was all land acquired, so you should give it as much as you want."
"Fight outward, grab outward. Fight to the end of the world, fight to the end of the world. Let the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty always be bathed in the sun. Let the Tang Dynasty become the unparalleled Tang Dynasty!"
Li Er was greatly shocked by these words and stared at Li Yunze speechlessly.
He thought that by becoming the Heavenly Khan, he would be a peerless wise king comparable to the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and felt that his achievements were unprecedented.
But he never thought that his achievements that he thought were timeless and shining today were so insignificant compared to what Li Yunze said.
"As long as the Tang Dynasty did not focus on the inward winding, but rolled all the contradictions outward, Tubo would be nothing, and there would be no need to deliberately care about it."
Li Yunze leaned back on the chair again, picked up the book and flipped through it, "I can assure your majesty that there is no country more powerful than the Tang Dynasty in this world. What the Tang Dynasty has to do is very simple. The army will go over and destroy them, and the clan will be noble in civil and military affairs."
We used to govern the place, and the people whose land could not bear it went over and cultivated their land and made it ours."
"The Angsa bandits and the Germanic ice cream are all special!"
The train ran at a super high speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. It did not stop at any train station along the way, not even at Tongguan. It went directly through the renovated and widened city gate and headed straight for Luoyang.
.
When the railway was built and the city gate was removed directly from Tongguan and passed through the city, many people opposed it, believing that this would greatly affect Tongguan's defense capabilities.
When Li Er asked about this matter, Li Yunze's response was simple, "If any enemy army can reach Tongguan City, it means that the combat power of the Tang Dynasty has been completely destroyed. It doesn't matter if there are any."
With strong self-confidence, Li Er resisted the pressure and agreed to the plan for the railway line to pass directly through the city gate.
After that, the train kept stopping at every stop except for filling up water, and it was still rushing to Luoyang at a speed of thirty or forty kilometers per hour.
Li Yunze and the others set off in the morning and arrived in Luoyang before midnight that night, which could be regarded as the early morning arrival.
The train can cover eight to nine hundred miles in one day, from Chang'an City to Luoyang City. This feat brings great shock to the passengers on the train!
