Chapter 7 The Great Sage King

Because he was dragging the cannon, the itinerary was not very fast. On August 14th, he came to the city of Xianyang...

At this time, Sun Xiaozhe was ready and arranged a large number of troops in Xianyang City.

Wang Hua dragged Li Longji out and looked at his worried look. Wang Hua said, "Emperor, where is Wang Xie now? Where is the Liu family, Sima family, and Cao Sun family today? If I don't do this, you will be able to exist for at most a hundred years, and you will never find the shadow of your Li family again. Although you have given up many rights, you are still the nominal emperor and supreme leader of this country. Not only you, but also your descendants can survive. Although I have sent soldiers to take care of you, I am afraid that you will misunderstand. Once the overall situation is settled, I will give you justice immediately."

Li Longji snorted coldly and said nothing. But he thought in his heart that you have not successfully conquered the country in my name.

But today, we have to rely on others.

Just as he was thinking about his mind, Wang Hua said, "Look, the general attack has begun."

It is impossible to say that Sun Xiaozhe is not capable of using military forces. Until now, Wang Hua has deliberately kept his mystery and has not disclosed the news of his return to the world.

Some people know that, for example, in Longyou Jiedushi Guo Yingyi, Wang Hua had a detailed conversation with him and told him about his own thoughts. Guo Yingyi is Guo Zhiyun's third son. Wang Hua has recreated his father and is not easy to object, but he did not express his support. He just kept silent in this matter. He also did not reveal it to the outside world.

The other few people who knew that Wang Hua had returned and had the power to inform the officials of the local generals were the same. They had no courage to oppose and did not have the courage to support him, so they chose to remain silent together and pretended to be deaf and dumb, just as if they didn't know that Wang Hua had reached Mazai Slope.

In addition, the war was endless, and many areas were blocked by rebels. Therefore, other places did not even know Li Longji's current situation, but only knew that Tongguan was lost and the rebels entered Chang'an. There were many people saying that they had fled to Sichuan, some said that they had fled to Lingwu, some said that they fled to Qinling Mountains and hid, and some said that Li Longji had been killed by the rebels.

Therefore, the rebels were blocked on the Mazai Slope, but other places showed even more strength.

But Sun Xiaozhe knew that Li Longji had received a strong support. Although he didn't know who it was, this army should not be underestimated.

In Xianyang City, she looked like she was defending her stubbornly. There were many weapons to guard the city on the top of the city, such as rolling wood stones, or even the hot oil that Wang Hua liked to use was also inside the city walls, allowing the people in the city to refine it. There were also more than a dozen cannons, as well as long bows and crossbows.

It is not known how much sacrifice it will take to conquer such a dangerous city in normal circumstances.

But with Wang Hua's order, hundreds of artillery began to bombard violently, and the soldiers on the city were blown into the sky one by one, and even the city gate was bombarded by more than a dozen shells, and they fell down one by one.

Since the beginning of the Cold Weapon War, who has seen such a situation?

Some soldiers were clever and slipped away all of a sudden, while others just stood on the top of the city in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

Wang Hua waved his hand and his troops entered the city one after another, receiving the sound of gunshots like broad beans in the city.

Wang Hua said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, I told you in the past that you should not underestimate miscellaneous studies. What do you think after seeing them today?"

Li Longji's face was also very pale. The terrifying firepower not only scared the enemy, but Li Longji himself was also scared.

He couldn't speak.

Wang Hua asked again: "Do you still recognize the gold and silver reliefs I carved on the Jiuzhou Cauldron are fake?"

After saying that, I started to enter the city.

After conquering Xianyang, he began to cross the Wei River and attacking Chang'an. However, when Sun Xiaozhe heard about this, he immediately took advantage of the slow movement of Wang Hua's army to concentrate all the ships on the Wei River and burned them down.

Wang Hua didn't care. He asked someone to weave a small raft and even began to comfort the people. When Xianyang City settled down, he began to lead the army to the edge of the Wei River and set off the cannons again. On the other side of the Wei River, Sun Xiaozhe also built a defensive fortification.

However, he far underestimated the power of thermal weapons. This time, the maximum range of cannons brought by Wang Hua reached more than 4,000 meters, with an effective range of 2,500 meters. He could not shoot on the other side of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but how wide can the Wei River be? The cannons began to roar, and their fierce tongues of fire were spit out.

The fortifications on the other side were immediately destroyed, and the rebels fled again. Only then did Wang Hua let his men cross the Wei River on a small raft, occupy the beach, and then build floating bridges.

Come to Chang'an City, follow the rules and successfully conquered Chang'an.

Seeing this situation, Li Mi said with emotion: "From now on, the city wall will be useless."

It cannot be said that the city wall has no effect. If the rebels ruthlessly seal the city gate, they will not be able to knock down the city wall with the power of artillery. Or in some strategic fortresses, if concrete is used to build a solid bunker, the artillery will still lose its effect.

But Li Mi has not completely surrendered to this point, and it is difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends, and Wang Hua will not take the initiative to reveal his biggest weakness.

He smiled and said nothing.

However, for ordinary city walls, it has indeed lost its effect now.

After entering the city, although there were still rebels who were fighting stubbornly based on the terrain, they surrendered one by one under the power of guns.

Wang Hua identified one by one, and all soldiers or officials who forced the surrender were imprisoned. However, all the troops belonging to An Lushan were killed.

Liu Yang felt a little regretful, and he said from the side: "President of the camp, we are about to build a railway and need a lot of slaves."

After Wang Hua established a constitutional system for the king, many people forced him to become emperor, and they felt ashamed. They should be at least given the false title of emperor. However, Wang Hua was very disgusted with the title of emperor, so he said, "If you want to make me an emperor, then continue to call me the governor of the camp. The governor of the camp is the emperor."

Everyone was speechless. The camp governor is the camp governor and the emperor is the emperor. Why are these two the same things?

But after Wang Hua insisted, he had no choice but to agree. So everyone hypnotized themselves, and this camp was synonymous with the emperor. But in this way, Wang Hua set an example and the ambitions of various officials also decreased.

As for the construction of railways, steam trains have been developed long ago, but there is a key technology that has not been kept up. That is bridge technology. No matter where the railway is built, it must pass through the river. Although it is known that once it is built, it is a powerful tool. Now the speed can reach 40 or 50 kilometers per hour, which means that it can reach 2,000 kilometers a day and one night. Whether it is civil or military, it will enter an era of speed soaring, especially in the two continents, with this railway, it will become easier to manage.

But the bridge technology cannot keep up, because a lot of money is stored in the treasury, and a lot of iron ore is stored in each iron ore, but it cannot be put on the agenda.

It was not until simple electrical technology emerged, and the emergence of welding, and the new generation of young people grew up, the knowledge they received was more concrete, and more experts emerged. Bridge technology became more and more perfect. They were preparing to conquer the Dashi and overhaul the railway, but they did not expect the Anshi Rebellion to happen. However, this plan could not be broken. The railway from Central Plains to Siberia will be repaired, and the integration of the entire country will lead to a great situation. Especially in the north, the main nomadic peoples are the gathering place of the world's most fierce nations. Short-term conquest cannot guarantee that they will not betray them in the future. With the railway and the rapid deployment of troops, this place will be completely managed.

However, when building railways, under the current circumstances, many people will die, such as building bridges or opening caves. It is impossible to use regular citizens, but they are all slaves. As for the beginning of the era of the big railway, how many people will die, it is impossible to count, but it will be an amazing number.

Li Mi was curious and asked, "What railway?"

Wang Hua briefly explained that Li Heng was walking in front and walked well, but his whole body trembled after hearing this. With his wisdom, how could he not know what impact the railway will have when it was built? The Tang royal family was really over. He thought sadly in his heart.

But he didn't know how many people would die in the construction of railways and how much money would it cost. This was a huge Roman city. Even when Wang Hua died, he didn't know how many railways could be built.

Wang Hua said to Liu Yang again: "They rebelled against the country and were not even qualified to be slaves. However, the people in other prison cells will only be slaves for the rest of their lives."

Not only did he threaten the soldiers who participated in the rebellion, but he also had some important officials, including some six ministers and ministers.

But with Wang Hua's order, nearly 10,000 rebels all killed in the city. Suliu's murderous aura made no one dare to persuade him.

But Li Heng still thought uneasy in his heart: You said An Lushan was treasonous, aren’t you also treason?

The two have different concepts. He believes that the detriment to his Li family is rebellion. Wang Hua believes that the detriment to the country is rebellion. He believes that Wang Hua is rebellion, but Wang Hua believes that Li Longji is rebellion. Of course, Li Heng dared not give a single fart under Wang Hua's murderous intent.

Wang Hua came directly to Jiudingfang. It took him nearly two years to make this Jiudingfang, and the preparation time was longer.

However, the situation was very miserable. All the gold, silver and jewelry were gone, and two jade carvings were also gone. Fortunately, the white marble carving map was not damaged. Even so, the losses were immeasurable.

Wang Hua's face turned pale, and he called Cui Guangyuan, and Cui Guangyuan said whispered: "At that time, the emperor ran away, and even the palace was looted. I was short of manpower, so I sent someone to maintain order later, otherwise all 81 pictures would be looted."

“Where did these things go?”

"They were all in the hands of the rioters. Later, after Sun Xiaozhe entered the city, he reported the matter to An Lushan. An Lushan then ordered his subordinates to search for three days, and even the private property of the people was searched for. He also ordered officials and yamen runners to interrogate and force confession, and they would pursue all their property relentlessly, killing many people for this. I heard that all of these property was transferred to Luoyang, and some were transferred from Luoyang to Fanyang."

I heard that in Fanyang, Wang Hua felt at peace. The country was about to have a great governance, and it required a lot of money and could not be subsidized from Oceania. After all, the Tang Dynasty was too big and there were too many people. And the most important of his upcoming army was to land in Youzhou and approach Fanyang and An Lushan's nest.

But he sighed: "It is better to have less money than ill-gotten, harming others and oneself."

"It's the extreme. Before His Majesty left, he was afraid that the rebels would not get their property and vent their anger on the people, so he kept the property, which would make this group of unruly people let His Majesty's conscience be let down." Cui Guangyuan finished speaking and looked at Wang Hua carefully.

I was a little scared, but fortunately I escaped back to Mazaopo, otherwise I would have been imprisoned in prison.

Wang Hua looked at him meaningfully. Did Cui Guangyuan take a gamble when he saw that he liked "loyalty"? That's why he said this.

After seeing it, I didn't make a sound. The place I arranged for was the old house in Chang'an.

After handing it over to Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Jiuling returned to his hometown to visit the grave in his later years and died of illness. Dafeng also lived in seclusion in Yunzhou. Wang Hua sent someone to pick her up to Oceania, but she refused and eventually died of illness. Several houses in Chang'an were still there, but Zhang Jiuling's son held a small official position in another place, leaving only a few old servants to guard her, and escaped by chance.

Seeing Zhang Jiuling's house, Li Longji suddenly remembered Zhang Jiuling's previous advice, but he couldn't listen to it and suddenly burst into tears.

Wang Hua still didn't speak, and Zhang Jiuling's rescinding meant a turning point in the Tang Dynasty's decline from prosperity. To put it more than that, it was also a turning point in the entire Han nationality's decline from prosperity.

Animals regret first and others regret it. The country makes you mess with this. What is the effect of crying?

He asked someone to help Li Longji into the palace, but Wang Hua continued to live in this old house.

In fact, the palace is now in a mess. After snatching up the good things, you can even see the traces left by Hu soldiers, which smell so bad that they smell very bad.

There were not many eunuchs and palace maids left, so they hurriedly cleaned up.

But the more Li Longji lives, the less uncomfortable it feels. Wang Xiaoer lives in an ordinary house and lives in the palace himself. Chang'an City is almost unbearable now, which is not a good thing.

The reaction was very timely. If he didn't make adjustments and thought he was the emperor, he would be miserable. So he asked someone to let Wang Hua live in the palace. Anyway, there are no two days now, but there are indeed two days. There are no two masters in the earth, and there are indeed two masters. And the sun over there is brighter than himself.

Wang Hua refused to listen and replied in a cold voice: "I can't afford to enjoy it."

This sentence scared Li Longji to his cleverness. If you can't afford it, I can't afford it either. I consciously moved into Xingqing Palace with my family. It turned out that his private house was located. Later, after renovation, he often stayed in Xingqing Palace to work.

That's it, I'm still very worried.

In fact, Wang Hua didn't plan to let him continue to live in the palace. What a luxury it was in Luoyang's palace city, Chang'an's palace city, and Shangyang Palace and Daming Palace. After removing many of the emperor's privileges, why did he let the Li clan members live in the palace?

Wang Hua later planned to build these palaces into the Forbidden City, allowing the people to go in and have fun.

Seeing that Wang Hua was still silent, Li Longji sent someone to ask questions with concern. Wang Hua replied: "You can live first."

Li Longji felt a little relieved.

This is all a trivial matter, and Wang Hua now puts his eyes in the east.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Li Guangbi attacked Boling but failed. When he learned that Tongguan had fallen, even the emperor was missing. He was afraid and retreated to the south. Shi Siming led his troops to chase him. This infamous Great Saint King Zhou (his own strange emperor title) was also very talented in military talent. Facing the fight between Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, the two great soldiers and gods of Li Guangbi, they had a victory or defeat. It was not easy.

This time the chase was not good and was repelled by Li Guangbi. However, Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi were unwilling to fight, so they led their troops to retreat into Jingxing Pass, leaving the Changshan Prefect Wang Qi to lead the regiments from Jingcheng and Hejian County to train troops to guard Changshan. The location of Changshan is very important, and they leaned against Taihang Mountain, like a sharp knife stabbed in Hebei. Therefore, after Li and Guo left, they still divided their troops to stay.

Because of the endless war and the news was blocked, the new Pinglu Jiedushi Liu Zhengchen did not know that Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi had retreated. He heard that Shi Siming was defeated, so he was greedy for me and prepared to attack Fan Yang. However, before the army arrived, Shi Siming led his troops to snipe. This was a figure with Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's horned cows. Liu Zhengchen was defeated. He left his wife and fled, and more than 7,000 corporals died in battle.

After defeating Liu Zhengchen, Shi Siming was in the limelight. Wang Qi was scared and wanted to surrender to the rebels. But the other generals were very angry when they learned about it. So they took advantage of the opportunity to play polo and stomped him to death. But there must be a leader. At that time, the prefect of Xindu, Wu Cheng'en, had three thousand Shuofang soldiers under the command of the Changshan generals sent envoy Zong Xianyun to lead the local elders to Xindu and invite Wu Cheng'en to guard Changshan.

This is a very heroic tragic song. Although many people surrendered in a humble manner, many people still raised the banner of national indomitableness.

Like this operation, no one commanded it, it was all done spontaneously.

Zong Xianyun advised Wu Chengen and said, "Changshan is a strategic location, with Yanji in the north, Luoyang in Henan in the south, and Jingxing Pass in danger. Taking over this important location is equivalent to shaking the throat of the rebels."
