Chapter 614 Qin Qiong's troubles

Yun Hao didn't lie, when Li Er stepped on the Luoyang platform.The sun is still hanging on the west mountain, and it is estimated that it will not set for another hour.With the convenience of the new means of transportation, Li Er could hardly believe his eyes.Li Er didn't feel that he had really come to Luoyang until Hou Junji, who stayed behind in Luoyang, came to pay homage.

Li Er is no stranger to the city of Luoyang. He fought Wang Shichong in Luoyang back then.Established his status as a unparalleled warrior, and he still has the title of emperor on horseback.Throughout the ages, there have been many emperors capable of fighting.But it is true that there are not many emperors who can really go to the battlefield to slash people.Unknowingly, fifteen years have passed. Fifteen years ago, this was still a bloody battlefield.

Today, except for the mottled city walls still telling the story of that war.It seems that everyone has forgotten the bloody battle under the city of Luoyang.

"I remember that a trench was built here back then. It was to prevent Wang Shichong from rushing out of Luoyang City!" The city wall of Luoyang cannot be destroyed, so the railway station can only be built outside the city.Li Er stood on the platform and wanted to look far away, pointing to the other side of the platform and said.

"Back to Your Majesty! In fact, this platform is the former site of the moat." Hou Junji bowed in response.

"The old site? It's been more than ten years, and no one has cultivated it here?" Li Er asked in surprise.I had someone dig such a deep ditch, and I had to fill the ditch if I wanted to farm.

"Uh...! Your Majesty, after the first battle in Luoyang, the population of the Heluo area was dwindling, and it was not until these years that it recovered some vitality. But compared to the previous Sui Dynasty, it is still much worse. So...!" Hou Junji saw Li Er's face was gloomy, and he didn't dare to speak any more.

"Hey...! Too many people died!" Li Er let out a long sigh, and revisiting his old place brought his thoughts back to Luoyang back then.

Luoyang!Land of the Four Wars!The former Sui Dynasty built it into the Eastern Capital, which was high in the city, easy to defend and difficult to attack.Helpless, Li Er could only dig deep into the barriers and besiege Wang Shichong in Luoyang City.There is no evil plan like setting fire, and no poison plan like starving food.A food shortage plan almost turned Luoyang into a hell on earth.At the most difficult time, hundreds of corpses were thrown from the city every day.Under the city wall, there are densely packed layers one after another.

After defeating Dou Jiande in the Battle of Hulao, Wang Shichong, who had lost hope, had no choice but to surrender.The first thing Li Er did when he entered the city was to open a warehouse to release grain, but the people only took away less than six thousand shi of grain.It's not that I don't want to take more, but that those who survived can only take six thousand stones.In the worst times, even people cannibalize each other.

awful!His mind was full of corpses, Li Er hurriedly shook his head, trying to get rid of those disturbing thoughts.Maybe it was because he was shaking too fast, Li Er felt dizzy for a while.The eldest grandson beside him hurriedly supported Li Er's arm!
"Oh! Don't take it seriously, I just remembered the old things back then. I remember that I was observing the terrain on Beiman Mountain over there. There were only [-] cavalry around me. But I didn't expect Shan Xiongxin to lead people out of Luoyang City. There are tens of thousands of people. If it wasn't for respecting and protecting me, Shan Xiong might have trusted my head." Li Er pointed in the direction of Beiman Mountain and said with lingering fear.

"Your Majesty is the Lord of Great Fortune, as long as His Majesty does not dislike him. The general is willing to be His Majesty's guard for the rest of his life!" Yu Chigong bent down hard, his huge belly made his movements very funny.But when he straightened up, he had a smug look on his face.Not everyone can have this kind of friendship with the emperor, with this foundation, even if something happens to the Yuchi family in the future, it will not destroy the family.

"Hahaha! Just the day before, Yin Kaishan and Qu Tutong jointly captured you. They said you were going to rebel!" Li Er looked at Yu Chigong and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty took the general back to the back tent, and took out a bag of gold, silver and jewels. He said that if the general wanted to leave, it would be money. Your Majesty's kindness to the minister, ten thousand deaths is not enough to repay in case." Yuchi listened respectfully Hearing Li Er's words, he immediately sighed.

"I can decide life and death with a single throw, and I can also smile away all grievances. Today we have unparalleled fetishes like trains, and the army has weapons like gunpowder and kerosene. You dare to fight me, Li Shimin, again. Let me have China, China, and everything in it!" Li Er was Li Er, and he quickly recovered from his sorrowful mood.Pointing to the sky, let out a deafening roar.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The generals were going crazy with joy!The value of a soldier is reflected in the war, and a few years of peaceful life has greatly reduced the status of the generals.The civil official group is eyeing it like a tiger, and now it is heard that there is going to be a war, how can it make people unhappy.Especially Yu Chigong, who beat his chest with both hands like a king kong.It is estimated that even if he is asked to carry the explosive package to blow up the bunker, he will not hesitate.

There is nothing missing in the world, and China is unified!This can’t be about other places. There is only one place in the world that meets this standard.That is Liaodong!The emperor said such words in such a crowded place, which shows that Li Er has made up his mind to carry out a Goguryeo battle.The problems that his cousin Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang had not solved by mobilizing a million troops, this Tian Khan would solve it himself.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, the country had just regained some vitality.At this time, they are absolutely unwilling to fall into the ocean of war again, but there is no way.Since the emperor said it on this occasion, it means that the emperor has made a decision.Li Er's will cannot be violated!No matter what kind of talent you are, if you don't agree with Li Er on this kind of matter, you will become firewood.

Yun Hao shook his head helplessly, the train is fast and convenient.Let Li Er see the hope of the expedition to Liaodong, and there is a god-level means of transportation like a train.It only takes a few days for the grain from Guanzhong to reach Hebei, and the grain from Shandong will be even faster.No wonder, when Li Daoyan proposed to recruit a special army to build the railway, Li Er agreed without even thinking about it.Moreover, 10 posts were approved at once.You know, Datang implements strong stems and weak branches.The sixteen guards of Chang'an are only a little over 20!

With an army of [-] and the simple cranes and machinery researched by the academy, Yunhao felt that three years would be enough to repair the train tracks to Dengzhou and Youzhou.Once effective railway traffic is formed, it will greatly increase the Tang army's war capabilities.Guanzhong government soldiers don't need to march for several months, but only need a few days.It will be able to reach Youzhou from the distant Guanzhong.

Even according to Yunhao's idea, he was transported to Dengzhou to board the ship.Then ride the wind and waves straight to Pyongyang!
When Li Er left the platform and got into the carriage.All the veterans are still waving excitedly!Cheng Yaojin kept muttering: "There is going to be a war! There is going to be a war!" He looked like a madman!
Only Qin Qiong got into the carriage without a word, with a sad face.The disease limited his ability to move, and it was okay to take the train to Luoyang.But it is absolutely impossible for him to raise his mace and leap like Qin Shubao ten years ago.None of the descendants of the Qin family is successful, and Lao Qin can't and dare not fall.No matter what the disease is, as long as you can persist in going to court, then persist.The moment Qin Qiong turned around, Yun Hao saw that his back was already lumpy.

"Uncle Qin!" Yun Hao followed into Qin Qiong's carriage.In front of me is still the same Qin Shubao who rode on both sides of the Yellow River and beat the [-]th county in Shandong with a mace.After years of suffering from serious diseases, a tough guy was sallow all over his face.The corners of the eyes have drooped, and the tip of the nose has been dripping with sweat.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Yun Hao getting into his carriage, Qin Qiong asked in surprise.Yun Hao is less than 30 years old, and he is already the Duke of Chu in the Tang Dynasty.Speaking of title and power, he is even higher than Qin Qiong.The boy in front of him is no longer the doll he was back then.Every move will be watched by caring people.Today he walked into his carriage, and tomorrow he didn't know what kind of gossip would come out.

"This is the ginseng that I just brought back from Korea last month. Mr. Sun personally mixed it into a pill, which is perfect for nourishing the body." Yun Hao said, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong took it and smelled it in his hand. There was a unique fragrance of ginseng in the pill.Although Qin Qiong is still holding on these years, anyone can tell that his body is not getting better every year.People are philistines, and no one will often call on a prince who is about to pass away.Human nature is cold, and Qin Qiong has seen a lot of the cruelty of the world in the past two years.

The only ones who can come and walk around the house now are Lao Cheng and Lao Niu.The younger generation is also Yun Hao, Hou Junji who pays homage to Chen Guogong, who has not been in the Qin family for several years.What's more, the eldest daughter of Hou Junji's family married the prince Li Chengqian last year as the prince's side concubine.Now Hou Junji is the prince's father-in-law and Li Er's in-laws.Although Ren Luoyang stays behind, every new year's day, there is a lot of traffic in front of the gate.Not to mention Qin Qiong's house, even Yunhao's, Hou Junji could not go there once in a year or two.

"Hey...! I have a heart!" Qin Qiong sighed, no one gave him such a precious thing for a long time.For ginseng, only the Yun family sent two boxes every month.

Korean ginseng has been promoted by the Yun family, and the market in Chang'an has become increasingly bullish.It seems that Yunhao always comes to this kind of fine ginseng, which is absolutely priceless in Chang'an.The Qin family doesn't do much business, and the big ones are joint ventures with the Yun family.His family's money is not enough to support him to eat every day.If it wasn't for the fact that the Yun family hadn't forgotten to help the Qin family when they were doing business these years, he, Duke Yi, would be a joke in Chang'an City.

"Uncle Qin, don't worry, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite. Yuchi Gong's son, Yuchi Baolin, broke Zhang Liang's son's leg a few days ago. The two families are now quarreling over this matter! Tell me, E Country Don't you worry about it? There is also Cheng Chumo of the Cheng family. Because the Shangguan didn't let him hunt, he actually broke his leg. He is still on the way back to Beijing. If it weren't for Uncle Cheng's credit, maybe It was cut down in Ganzhou.

Huai Dao in your family is still young, so if he studies hard and practice for a few years, he will be considered ineffective.With us brothers pulling, we will never suffer from poverty. "Yunhao helplessly enlightened Qin Qiong. Although Qin Qiong's illnesses these years were due to old injuries, Yunhao knew that Qin Qiong was worried about the lack of successors in his family. Rather than saying that it was a physical illness, it would be better to say that It's heart disease.

"Hey...! When you say this, the old man doesn't feel good. Look at other children, even though they caused trouble, they made people feel at ease. Zhang Liang's son made fun of Yu Chi Gong's appearance, so he should be beaten up by Yu Chi Baolin. Even the kid Chu Mo, it was because there was no battle in Ganzhou that he wanted to go back to Beijing to see if there was a chance and where to make military achievements.

But if you look at Huai Dao, if you can't write, you can't do it.If it wasn't for your care, you wouldn't even be able to enter the academy.Every time I saw Lao Wen, he would show me the report card.I, Qin Qiong, don't know where to put this old face!
Moreover, this child is cowardly by nature and is always bullied in the academy.Don't worry!It's not your fault!The old man just thought about how to make him tough.With such a large family business, the Duke Yi's mansion will be handed over to him in the future.How can you be so cowardly!Only now do I know that it is better to raise a son as a wolf than to raise a son as a sheep!This kid can't support the door! "Speaking of this, Qin Qiong sighed.

"Uncle Qin, you don't know about this. Although Huai Dao is a little cowardly, he is calm and ingenious. Although he is not good at inheriting the family business, he is very talented in investigating things. You just see His report card, but you didn't look at his handicrafts, even Yu Lao praised him. Instead of letting him be an official, you might as well let him study hard in the future.

You have also seen this train today, and Huaidao participated in the design of the axle.In the future, we will also build large ships, and large steel ships can travel in the sea.We also need to build a chariot, which is as fast as a galloping horse but can really travel eight hundred a day.These are all inseparable from the research of physical science. If Huai Dao continues to develop on this road, he may be able to become a generation of masters. "

"You mean the truth, old man Mo Yao!" Qin Qiong grabbed Yun Hao's arm and asked, his eyes were full of little stars.

"Really! Yu Lao intends to accept Huaidao as a closed disciple, and asked me to find out if you are willing. After all, Huaidao is your family's legitimate son, and he will inherit the family business in the future." Yun Hao felt his arm, as if He was bound by an iron hoop.Don't look at Qin Qiong's illness like this, a tiger general is a tiger general, and a dying general is still a tiger general.

"It's true!"

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, go back to Chang'an. You can go to the academy and ask in person. You know, Mr. Yu is very concerned about appearances. Although he wants to accept apprentices, you still have to come forward to worship a teacher and do a teacher worship ceremony." .You won't want to!"

"Nonsense! How could this old man not want to! Old Yu's generation of Kewu masters, it is a blessing of Huai Dao to be able to worship under his sect. You tell Mr. Yu that the Duke of Yi's mansion will never embarrass his old man. The ceremony of apprenticeship must be done." It's so lively! Haha! I didn't expect this kid to be so promising." Qin Qiong stroked his beard and felt relieved.
