Chapter 1926 The war breaks out in Luoyang
Chapter 1924: War breaks out in Luoyang
Under the guidance of Sima Yi and Yang Ping, Li Shimin continued to obtain enough food and a large number of siege equipment after capturing Wen County, and he already had the ability to attack Luoyang.
Of course, in addition to these things, Li Shimin also had other gains.
“Is this the Qin Army’s new spinning machine?”
Li Shimin looked at the Jenny spinning machine in front of him with burning eyes and asked: "Can this spinning machine really spin multiple cotton threads?"
"Yes, my lord, the new spinning machine improved by the Qin army can be operated by a female worker, and can spin more than a dozen cotton threads. The efficiency is more than ten times that of the old textile machine." Li Kui said.
With that said, Li Kui recruited a female worker and asked her to demonstrate it for Li Shimin on the spot.
Seeing the female worker operating the textile machine alone, and the weaving speed and efficiency were surprisingly fast, Li Shimin was dumbfounded and said: "This, this... is simply an artifact.
Gu Dao Over the years, why has the Qin army exported such a large amount of cloth to foreign countries and taken away all the export share of Shu brocade? It turns out that it has the help of such artifacts.
With this new type of textile machine in hand, the output of cloth increased more than ten times. Although the cloth weaved was not as fine as Shu brocade, it was superior in quantity and cheap.
With the help of this cheap and abundant cloth, the Qin army made a lot of money from various countries. I don’t know how much money they made. How could the country not strengthen its army despite its wealth? "
The more Li Shimin talked, the more bitter he became. The Qin army's overall strength was already stronger than that of other countries, and with the help of all kinds of weird things, the national power was further improved. How could all countries live like this?
Li Kui saw his lord's sour look and said quickly: "My lord, this new type of textile machine has fallen into the hands of our army. Soon our country, the Tang Dynasty, will be able to imitate this new type of textile machine."
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Immediately transport all the textile machines and all the female workers in the Qin Military Factory back to Guanzhong. These things are related to the rise of the Tang Dynasty."
)
The Qin Army's protection of various new technologies is so strict that it is almost harsh. For example, the spinning Jenny has been around for more than three years. Countless spies have been sent by various countries, but they still cannot get the spinning machine. Machine manufacturing technology.
Li Shimin naturally also sent spies, but they also had no effect. If he hadn't captured Sizhou this time, he might not have been able to obtain the textile machine manufacturing technology.
As soon as Hangu Pass fell, Jia Xu ordered all major textile factories to stop operating, and all textile machines were shipped back to Luoyang for storage. Naturally, the female workers were temporarily sent home and regrouped after the war was over.
Jia Xu's reaction was not unpleasant, but he did not expect that Li Shimin would come faster and directly bypass the wild king Yiyang and attack. A weaving factory in Wen County did not have time to retreat, and all the textile machines and female workers were captured by Li Shimin.
With the help of this new textile machine, Li Shimin can already predict that the Tang Dynasty's finances may skyrocket next year, and the hard days are finally over.
“The Qin Army’s good things are not just new textile machines. Can we get all the other things at once this time?”
Li Shimin asked enthusiastically. A spinning machine can no longer satisfy his appetite. Now he wants to **** all the good things unique to the Qin army for himself.
"this…"
Li Kui hesitated for a moment and then said: "The other artifacts were all shipped back to Luoyang by Jia Xu in advance. If you want to get them, you must capture Luoyang."
Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he laughed and said, "Then take down Luoyang."
At this time, Li Shimin did not know that Qin Hao had sent Li Jing, Zhang Liao, and Han Xin to lead an army of 200,000 back to Sizhou to aid Sizhou. Regardless of whether he could capture Luoyang or not, even if he did capture Luoyang, he would not be able to hold it.
After capturing Wen County, Li Shimin immediately led the army to Luoyang without any pause. As the Tang army approached the city, the situation in Luoyang became increasingly strange.
“The Tang army has arrived outside the city, and the uprising will begin tonight.”
A trace of madness flashed in Liu Xie's eyes, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Execute the Qin thieves and welcome the Tang army." Kong Rong, Ma Rixi, Yang Jun, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Wang Kuang, and Qiao Mao shouted in unison: "Execute the Qin thieves and welcome the Tang army." Qin thieves welcome the Tang army..."
The gates of many families such as Kong, Ma, Yang, Zhang, and Wang were opened wide, with a large number of slaves.
In the palace, Yang Ping was wearing a dragon robe and holding a golden sword, standing on the steps at the entrance of the palace. Sima Yi stood beside him holding a sword, and below there were five hundred eunuchs kneeling with swords.
After taking control of the harem, Liu Xie asked Yang Ping to select strong eunuchs and secretly train them in the cold palace. Now, although the army of 500 eunuchs is still not as good as the army, it already has a certain strength. The combat power is worthy of use.
"Your Majesty, five hundred eunuchs have arrived and are ready for your Majesty's orders." Wei Zhongxian reported.
"good."
Yang Ping's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he shouted: "The Han Dynasty will live or die tonight. Kill the Qin thieves and welcome the Tang army."
After shouting, Yang Ping pulled out his golden sword and ran towards the palace gate, with Sima Yi following closely behind.
“Kill the Qin thieves and welcome the Tang army.”
Five hundred eunuchs shouted together and followed Yang Ping's footsteps towards the palace gate. The other eunuchs and maids hid away when they saw this.
“General, what’s wrong, the eunuchs in the harem have rebelled and are coming towards the palace gate.”
Zhang Yang, who was responsible for guarding the imperial city, heard this and immediately said: "Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly release arrows and kill these rebellious people."
“But, but...”
“But what?” Zhang Yang asked impatiently.
“But the leader is His Majesty, brothers don’t dare to attack.”
"What?"
Zhang Yang suddenly screamed and hurriedly ran to the top of the city to look down. His eyes widened immediately. The leader was wearing a dragon robe that could only be worn by an emperor. No one else would dare to wear it like this except Liu Xie.
The guards at the palace gate did not dare to use the sword on the emperor, but the eunuchs armed with swords were merciless. The guards killed and injured many people for a while.
“Your Majesty is so talented? Dare you personally participate in the coup?”
At this thought, Zhang Yang suddenly showed a bitter expression and whispered: "It's over now. No matter whether I stop him or not, I, Zhang Yang, will be infamy for thousands of years."
At the same time, six of the ten major captains of the New Army from the four gates of the southeast, northwest, and southeast came into contact with a stranger, and then returned to their headquarters to prepare to lead the army in an uprising.
In the new military camp in the east of the city, under the instigation of some thoughtful people, the soldiers of the Three Thousand Generations family attacked the camp without any warning. The five hundred Qin troops guarding the camp did not dare to kill, so they could only form a human wall to stop them. It's about to become unstoppable.
Black Ice Platform, inside a certain base.
“Sir, the rebellion has begun.”
Dugu Qiubai said to a shadow.
Shortly afterwards, Jia Xu walked out of the shadows and said with a faint smile: "Okay, close the Internet cafe."
