Datang Library

"Your Majesty, please think again." Many civil servants followed suit to advise.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, this matter is a bit strange. It stands to reason that he should ask for help from his own neighboring country in the west when he asked for help from Persia. Why did he come to our Tang Dynasty instead of asking for help? And according to the intelligence, this person seems to have come empty-handed. "

"Hey, the auxiliary machine is careful, I, the Tang Dynasty, has all over the world, why do I care about mere gifts? It is the way of a sage to stop fighting the world." Li Er explained.

"Your Majesty, this red-haired boy is not a saint like us. He wants us to send troops with empty teeth? What a joke! It can be seen that they have no sincerity, let alone peace of mind." Du Ruhui said.

At this time, Changsun Wuji had already walked in front of the Persian envoy and asked.

The old fox is such a shrewd person. He already knew the general idea after asking a few questions until the Persian envoy was sweaty on his brow.

"Your Majesty, this person is trying to deceive us. Their own country is in dire straits and they can't take care of themselves. They are also being attacked by neighboring countries in the west and Western Turks in the east. It is impossible to stop the destruction of the country, and it is impossible to cooperate with me Exterminate the Western Turks, so we must not be fooled this time." Changsun Wuji said.

Li Eryi listened, okay, this red-haired man is so cunning, the Western Turks invaded you, what did he do with me?With a flick of his sleeve, Tang Shanzhi rejected the Persians.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man hurriedly apologized, took out something from his pocket and handed it over, saying it was a gift.

"Hehe, I just said that this person doesn't look like a good person. If you don't force him, he even wants to take the gift for himself." Changsun Wuji took it and said with a smile.

But looking down at the things on the paper, he was a little dumbfounded, this, this is not...

"Auxiliary machine, what is it on the paper? Could it be some kind of treasure? What makes you look like this?" the civil servants asked.

"What kind of treasure is this? Isn't this the secret recipe of Thunderbolt leaked from my Tang Dynasty? This Persian is so good at doing business, he bribed us with our things?"

Listening to Changsun Wuji's explanation, everyone's faces darkened. Isn't this what the Boling Cui family leaked to the west to hurt people in the Western Regions?Good guy, dare to show off?

Li Er said angrily: "Come here, throw this person out. Datang declares that Persia and Persia will be hostile countries from now on, and there will be no friendship."

In this way, the Persian envoy was kicked out of the Tai Chi Hall in a daze, and he even thought that it was Datang who accepted the gift and then turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.

"Your Majesty, I think that the Tang Dynasty can watch from the sidelines when the Western Turks expand westward. It is just a matter of time to make a move to drive away the tigers and wolves, so that the Western Turks can beat down the barbarians in the west, and then our Tang Dynasty will attack the Western Turks. You can take over a larger site and benefit from it.

Conversely, if we attack the Western Turks now, they will definitely stop expanding and return to the army to rescue them. Then we will besiege Wei and save Zhao. We don't have such good friendship with the western barbarian countries, so there is no need to rescue him. "

After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Li Er clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, the words of the auxiliary machine are very suitable for me. It is a good way to drive away the tigers and wolves. Then I, Tang Dynasty, will wait for him to west Turkic for a few more years. All the powerful enemies have been leveled, and if we go to take over all the territory, it can be regarded as his Western Turks serving as a vanguard officer for us to unify to the west."

As for whether it is possible for the Western Turks to strengthen themselves through continuous plunder and counterattack Datang in the future, this is not a concern to everyone. The Western Turks are just a thunderbolt, and absolutely have no strength to counterattack Datang.

Chapter 9 Eleven: Hou Junji Causes Trouble

When Chang'an Persia came to ask for help, Bai Fan didn't show up at all, and he wasn't even interested in knowing about it, because he knew clearly that Persia was at the end of the road, and in ten or so years it would be replaced by the newly-rising Great Food Kingdom. If they were destroyed, how could Datang save them.

And Bai Fan has lost interest in the war of destroying the country. He basically stays in the academy and no longer goes out. He is either teaching or doing research with many technicians.

Now what he is trying to overcome is how to bring Datang into the electrical era. The first step is to solve the problem of large-scale power supply.

Since the invention of the telegraph, many people in Datang have known the existence of electricity, because the telegraph is powered by silver-zinc batteries. The most important thing is gold and silver. Since the Tang Dynasty began to have a bank to issue silver notes, the people used less and less gold and silver, and naturally the country stored more and more gold and silver.

But if the whole country uses electricity, then it can no longer be batteries, and power plants are needed, but thermal power plants pollute too much, so Bai Fan thought, taking advantage of Datang's current demand for electricity is not so big, it is better to directly The research started from hydropower, so people chose a site directly on the river not far from the academy, and built a small hydroelectric dam, which is only used for the academy.

"In short, you spent half of your family's wealth to come up with something like this? Did you have the money to burn it? Apart from being able to replace candles, I don't see any use for this thing." Li Jing turned to Bai Fan reprimanded.

Bai Fan smiled wryly for a long time, no wonder Li Jing was puzzled, in fact, he really spent more than half of the money to power up the academy, because there was no aluminum wire in the Tang Dynasty, even though there was a large-scale industry like a steel factory, he wanted to manufacture aluminum Conductors must have aluminum, which is different from iron. Ordinary refining will not work at all. The extraction of aluminum can only be done by electrolytic aluminum. Therefore, the first power generation and power supply equipment in Datang can only use high-end copper wires.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of copper in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not impossible to tell the court that it is not impossible to buy a copper mine, but in this way, the cost will be very high.

"Uncle, don't underestimate this thing. This thing can be used to replace candles. It's so simple. It's more than enough to replace the defense facilities of the academy with this thing, and it's very safe." Bai Fan said to himself.

"Just this light bulb? You can use it to bluff people, instead of defense? Can this thing still hurt people?" Li Jing and Qin Shubao shook their heads at the same time.

Bai Fan smiled secretly, took out two wires and handed them to Li Jing, "May I try it, Uncle?"

"Hmph, just try it. When we were fighting, the old man didn't even blink when he was facing the swordsman...blink..."

Li Jing wanted to say blink, but before he could say a word, Bai Fan had already closed the electric switch, and Li Jing started to convulse on the spot. Already followed CLP.

Bai Fan hastily turned off the switch, looked back, okay, you don’t wait, I thought you would take one, I’ll take one, and then lightly tap it for you to see, you hold two What are the wires for?

Li Ji foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground muttering: "You, you kid, cheating on me?"

Bai Fan quickly helped the two of them up to explain, but after checking, there was nothing wrong, both of them were martial arts practitioners, their bodies were strong, and there was no electrical damage at all.

"This is what I call defensive power. Even brother Shubao has been recruited. It seems that no one in the world can stop it."

The two nodded, it is indeed the case, who would have thought that this thing is so powerful if you don't experience it for yourself?

"In the future, I will use this electric light in both the Academy and Chang'an City, so that every household can be as bright as day, say goodbye to lights, and reduce the danger of fire.

And this power is infinitely useful, you will know in the future, the academy’s experiment was successful, and I will work with Master Li Chun to build a large hydropower station on the Yellow River, the kind of large-scale industry that can supply power to the entire Guanzhong. "

Li Jing and the two were shocked, how much would it cost to supply electricity to the whole Guanzhong?One academy already used half of your Bai Fan's wealth, how can you pay off the whole Guanzhong?The two dare not think.

At this moment, the person in charge of the telegram from the academy came to the principal's courtyard.

"Dean, Lingnan Yue King urgently reports."

The three of Bai Fan were puzzled, why?Has something happened to Lingnan?Feng An sent an urgent report?

After taking it over, Bai Fan slapped his thigh, it turned out that it was Hou Junji's business.

Ever since Hou Junji annihilated the Wa kingdom, the admiral of the navy felt that the world was invincible, the sea was meaningless at all, and Bai Fan had never encountered a single naval battle that he had described, so he became more and more impatient every day.

Later, Li Er gave an order to send troops from various ministries in Lingnan to take the Pyu Kingdom in the southeast. Hou Junji contacted Feng An and thought that this was also an opportunity, so he led the army south to help fight in Lingnan. However, he was still a little disappointed. The barbarians are just as impatient to be beaten, they all surrendered in less than three months?

But in Lingnan, Yue King Feng An leaked a piece of news to Hou Junji, that is, Lantian Hou once said that after crossing places like Sanfoqi in the southeast, and going west to Tianzhu, I heard that the Tianzhu Navy has a set.

And after passing Tianzhu and going west, I heard that the red-haired navy in the far west is also very powerful. These are the future opponents of the Tang Dynasty. Lan Tianhou built the Datang Navy to defend against the invasion of these people in the future.

As soon as Hou Junji heard this, he immediately became interested, and rushed over, "Why wait for a group of barbarians to invade our Tang Dynasty? Isn't that too useless? Since we know that there is a country to the west, let's go straight there with an army. The destruction of a country by one country, isn't it the credit for us to expand our territory?

Even if you can't destroy the country, it's good to see the enemy's naval strength and come to know yourself and the enemy. "

So Hou Junji ignored Feng An's dissuasion, and led a fleet under his command to explore the way to the west.

Although Feng An is the king of Yue, he leads the Lingnan army, and he can't control the admiral of the Tang Dynasty at all. He can only send a fleet to escort him. If there is any situation, he will help immediately.

Datang's navy had just crossed the Southeast Asian region, when they encountered a small group of Tianzhu's patrolling navy, without saying a word, they went up and opened fire, and beat the Tianzhu navy to pieces, except for a few captives, basically nothing Leave.

When Hou Junji saw it, he was furious: "We are the Tang Navy, a regular army, not pirates, why are you robbing things? After finally meeting an opponent, you humiliate me like this? Have you forgotten the basic respect?

Give these people a small boat, let them go back to report, and say that the Datang Navy will compete with the Tianzhu Navy in half a month, and let them get ready, wash their necks and wait at home. "

The lieutenants are full of black lines, are we pirates?Are you not?This slang is more proficient than us, okay?

Chapter 9 and Twelve: Master Xuanzang

This period of Tianzhu Kingdom happened to be the most powerful time, and the entire Indian peninsula was divided by two empires.
