Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 651 The Republic and the Emperor ([-])
Spring of the second year of Yan State 440 (652)
Qufu City

The [Discussion Conference] hosted by the Tang Empire was held.

At the seminar, the Kong family supported by the Tang Empire announced on the spot: "Yan is a country of barbarians, and Tang is the orthodox of China!"

The Tang Empire used its own way to rule its own body.

At the beginning, Yan State took advantage of the split of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains to establish its own right to speak in public opinion.

Now, the Tang Empire has also begun to take advantage of the domestic turmoil in Yan to establish its own right to speak in public opinion.

Not only that, Emperor Li Zhi hired many Guanzhong scholars to advocate the enlightened autocracy of Tang Dynasty, and mocked Yan State and compiled Yan State jokes.

At the meeting, a scholar of Yan State who fled from Yan State and came to the Tang Empire lashed out at the darkness of the parliamentary system, and wrote many dark realities of Yan State.

"Society cannot only praise, if criticism is not free, praise is meaningless!"

The scholar of Yan State wrote a book "Sea Evil", and believed that the reason why Yan State was so corrupt and dark was because it relied too much on the ocean, and a marine civilization was doomed to have no future for development.

He believes that the republic of Yan should not only be praised, but also have the freedom to criticize.

After criticizing, he put his arms around the dancing girl sent by the Tang Empire court to have fun.

The Tang Empire also imitated the Yan State, and awarded the Yan State scholar the "Master Literary Award", praising him for "daring to speak the truth", "loyal words against the ears", "pleading for the people", and "a true warrior".

In addition to "Hai Shang", there is also "The End of History", compiled by Sun Wuji, the prime minister of the Tang Empire.

"Enlightened absolute monarchy is the most perfect system in the world. When society develops to this stage, it has reached the final stage."

Once upon a time, someone in Yan State also wrote a similar book, arguing that a parliamentary republic is the end of history.

Now, with the decline of Yan State and the civil war, the power of public opinion has been taken away by the Central Plains, and now it is the Central Plains' turn to start writing this kind of book.

Not only that, but in the country of Yan, many intellectuals are also reflecting.

"Do you want to abandon the backward and ignorant parliamentary republic and learn from the advanced enlightened monarchy in the Central Plains?"

"Perhaps we Yan people really have national inferiority. Otherwise, why can't we defeat the Tang Empire?"

"The Tang Empire is a real civilization. We should not be arrogant. We should let go of our prejudices, open our arms to the Tang Empire, and welcome the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to come to save us."

It's normal for this to happen.

The loser will reflect on everything about himself, thinking that everything about himself is backward and ignorant, and that everything about the winner is excellent.

In the past, Yan State was the victor, so people all over the world believed that the parliamentary republic of Yan State was more advanced than the enlightened autocratic monarchy in the Central Plains.

Now Datang is the victor, so everyone in the world believes that the autocratic monarchy in the Central Plains is more advanced than the parliamentary republic in the Yan State.

In the end who is more advanced, the result cannot be determined by debating classics.

Winning is everything!
Everything is for winning!
Only the winner is eligible to write history, and the loser can only enter the urn!

When the Dao Discussion Conference was held, the war in Liaodong had already entered a fever pitch.

Liaobei Plain
"kill!"

Tatata!
Thousands of Fuyu cavalry found a grain road for the Tang army and launched a sneak attack on the Tang army transporting the grain.

The leading general was Yan Yu, the King of Fuyu, and His Majesty the King personally led the army to fight.

In the northeast there is a lone loyalty, surrounded by the enemy like an iron screen, a lonely city thousands of miles away, full of Fuyu soldiers.

In this war to recover the lost land, Fuyu State paid a huge sacrifice for Yan State.

Faced with the Tang army's siege, the Fuyu people who had been swallowed up would rather die than surrender.

King Yan Yu already had many scars on his body, and one eye was shot blind by Tang Jun's arrows.

"A little injury, nothing to worry about!"

"For the sake of the world, why spare your life?"

Yan Yu was outnumbered and defeated repeatedly, but he still refused to surrender, holding back tens of thousands of Tang troops.

Yan Yu pulled out the arrow stuck in the eyeball, laughed loudly, swallowed the eyeball into his stomach, ignored the bleeding eye socket, pointed his sword forward, and shouted: "Follow the widow to charge!"

Outside Dayu City

Gu Yanwu led a group of brave men and successfully ambushed a group of puppet troops.

These puppet troops were still burning, killing and looting in the surrounding villages not long ago. The villagers who escaped by chance found Gu Yanwu's "Heroic Salvation Army" and asked Gu Yanwu for help.

Gu Yanwu prepared for a few days, preparing to wait until this group of puppet troops left the city and came to the countryside to continue their looting.

Without the protection of the city wall, Gu Yanwu would not be afraid of this group of puppet troops.

Already in his 60s, he led his fellow countrymen to fight against the puppet army.

"kill!"

[The Heroic Salvation Army] The morale is high, and the firecrackers are fired.

Bang bang bang!
The morale of the puppet army was low, and they were defeated by a round of firecrackers.

There are countless folk guerrillas like Gu Yanwu, but Gu Yanwu's guerrilla is definitely the most famous and has the strongest combat effectiveness.

In the Liaoxi Corridor, Tang soldiers and civilians are continuously transporting grain from Hebei to Liaodong.

However, when they passed through the narrow valley, all kinds of rolling stones, wood, arrows, crock fire mines (primitive gunpowder bombs) fell from the sky.

The road ahead had also been dug by the guerrillas long ago, which made it difficult for the Tang Empire's grain transportation team to move forward and had to repair the road.

However, the Tang Empire had just repaired the road, and the guerrillas would destroy the road in a few days, making it difficult for the Tang Empire's grain transportation team to move forward.

The main force of the Tang army, who was at the forefront, couldn't eat the food in Hebei for a long time, so they could only burn, kill and loot in Liaodong. up.

Even if it was the Turkic people who attacked Mobei, Datang had never felt so strenuous.

Although the Turks appear to be powerful on the surface, as long as they defeat their Khan, the rest of the Turkic tribes will submit, because the Turks have no national consciousness, and they don’t think there is any difference between the Khan and the emperor of the Central Plains. There is no difference in submitting to the emperor of the Central Plains.

The Yan State seems to have few troops and seems to be very weak, but after it really entered the Yan State, the Tang Empire found it very difficult. The guerrilla security warfare like a vast ocean, the continuous resistance force, and the never-ending suppression of rebellion. Army, strong city defenses everywhere.

"The trees are talking!"

"The stones are talking!"

"The nearby caves are talking!"

"The ground beneath your feet is also talking!"

The Yan people hid in tunnels, forests, and dangerous places, constantly ambushing the soldiers of the Tang army who were alone.

The Tang Empire deeply felt how difficult it is for a country with its own national consciousness to conquer.

In such a predicament, the queen's main force has recovered many cities in Samhan, and is now heading towards the Pyongyang area.

The queen distributed her five hundred worry-free pioneers equally to each squad, and asked them to educate the officers and soldiers of their squad, improve their ideological awareness, restrain their military discipline, and guide them not to disturb the people.
