Turbulent Times Chapter 1718: There is Maya on the other side of the sea
Standing in front of the gate of Chang'an City, Li Shimin took a long breath, and entered Chang'an City silently. Although he was still a little unwilling, the shadow of death in his heart finally dissipated completely.
Moreover, the result was much better than he expected, although he still didn't know anything about the situation on the other side of the sea.
After entering Chang'an City, Li Shimin immediately ordered the generals to come to discuss matters.
……
……
Da'an Kingdom, Tianxiang three years, November 22nd, the war against Tang lasted for more than three months, and finally ended with Tang Kingdom being destroyed and Li Shimin surrendering.
Da'an State Camp, the generals above the rank of the chief general of the legion gathered in Wang Junlin's imperial tent.
"My dear friends, Li Shimin has accepted my terms and he has surrendered." Although Wang Junlin's words were light, there was a wave of waves among the generals who didn't know the truth. Li Shimin actually surrendered?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Everyone bowed down in unison, congratulating.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'm going to arrange some things next, you listen carefully." Wang Junlin smiled, waved everyone to stand up, glanced over, everyone's hearts were solemn, except Du Ruhui, a civil servant Except for Shen Guoer, all the generals stood upright, waiting for Wang Junlin to speak.
……
……
Three days later, October twenty-fifth.
Da'an's army still surrounds Chang'an City, the south gate of the city is wide open, Li Shimin led a hundred thousand unarmored and unarmed troops in two lines and left the city one by one.
Wang Junlin, Nie Xiaoyu, Shen Guoer and the generals led hundreds of experts to watch these soldiers go out of the city, and the tens of thousands of troops on both sides aimed their crossbows at this place, ready to attack at any time.
"Stop!" Nie Xiaoyu suddenly pointed at one of the soldiers and shouted.
Li Shimin in front of him stopped immediately, and stared at the group of soldiers as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Stay away." Wang Junlin gave an order suddenly.
He and everyone around him flew back immediately.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, everyone's expression changed, because the team of about twenty soldiers exploded directly.
The flesh and bones of twenty soldiers instantly turned into fragments, and they were shot in all directions like bullets. Hundreds of soldiers from the nearby Tang army were directly beaten into sieves, and most of them died on the spot. screams.
Shen Guoer, Cheng Yaojin and others all looked at Li Shimin with murderous intent on their faces, and Li Shimin's expression changed drastically.
As the chief general of the Tianwei Army, responsible for Wang Junlin's security work, Cheng Yaojin said coldly: "Li Shimin, you dare to assassinate His Majesty."
Li Shimin's face was slightly pale, and he said angrily: "General Cheng, I definitely did not do this."
Cheng Yaojin wanted to say something else, but Wang Junlin suddenly said, "It's not him."
Cheng Yaojin and the others didn't dare to say anything more. Wang Junlin waved his hand and motioned for Li Shimin to take the people to continue. According to the plan, Wang Junlin has already arranged the naval warships and will send them to the Yangtze River through the Grand Canal , and then go out to sea along the Yangtze River estuary, where Li Shimin has prepared a warship that can seat 100,000 horses and can go across the state.
After half a day, Li Shimin and his party successfully boarded the ship and were sent away, but the No. 1 puppet was never found.
"No. 1 is still in Chang'an City, pass down the order and implement according to No. 2 plan."
Wang Junlin gave an order, and the 200,000 troops surrounding Chang'an City began to move.
First, the four city gates were firmly guarded, and then a hundred thousand horses quickly climbed up the city wall, but instead of facing the outside of the city, they stared at the inside of the city. It was impossible for anyone to climb over the city wall and leave.
Under Nie Xiaoyu's unified dispatch, the remaining 100,000 people will find the No. 1 puppet from among the 600,000 people.
With the ability of No. 1 puppet, if you want to find it among the 600,000 people in a big city like Chang'an City, even with Nie Xiaoyu's supernatural power, it is almost like finding a needle in a haystack.
The search lasted for a month. During this month, Wang Junlin even started planning to move the capital to Chang'an, but the No. 1 puppet was never found.
……
……
In the East China Sea, a thousand warships are scattered on the sea, and Li Shimin's 100,000 troops have all boarded the long-distance warships.
On a huge ship of five thousand materials, Li Shimin looked at the dark sea of warships. Although many soldiers under his command were not familiar with water warfare, some were seasick and vomited, but Li Shimin regained his ambition at this time.
No matter what the situation on the other side of the sea is, even if there are monsters and ghosts, as long as there is no more Wang Junlin, Li Shimin has the confidence to regain his own country and build his own Great Tang Empire.
At this moment, a battleship is coming here quickly.
"Your Majesty, it should be Xuanba." Chai Shao said to Li Shimin in a low voice, supporting his seasick wife Li Xiuning.
Li Shimin sighed with a complicated expression, but did not speak.
Not long after, the huge ship of the same five thousand materials came close, put down a small boat, and a burly man took the small boat and approached Li Shimin's main ship.
……
……
After a while, Li Xuanba came to Li Shimin, knelt down to Li Shimin and Li Xiuning, with tears in his eyes, and said: "Xuanba has seen the second brother and the elder sister."
Li Shimin sighed and remained indifferent, the red-eyed Li Xiuning had already stepped forward to help Li Xuanba up.
To be honest, Li Shimin once hated Li Xuanba deeply because he betrayed the Li family.
However, he was able to survive this time only because Li Xuanba pleaded with Wang Junlin.
So, this hatred dissipated, just seeing Li Xuanba knelt down with tears streaming down his face and revealed his true feelings, the long-lost family affection was also awakened a little.
In any case, his two brothers have been killed by him, and his father has also been killed
It was because of him that he died, and he was left with this younger brother of the same father and mother.
Li Xuanba and his second brother and elder sister hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and they were really excited. After the three of them said something, Li Shimin got to the real business.
Li Xuanba is also different from the past, and said solemnly: "Second brother, you don't have to worry about this journey, the crew on the second brother's ship has been to the mainland on the other side of the sea before."
As he spoke, he took out a map from his bosom, handed it to Li Shimin and said, "Second brother, this is the treasure map I asked for from my master. And where some indigenous savages may exist on the mainland.”
Li Shimin's expression brightened, his eyes sparkled, he solemnly took the map from Li Xuanba's hands with both hands, looked at it carefully, and carefully stuffed it into his arms and put it away.
"Xuanba, why don't you follow Wei to the other side of the sea and fight for my Li family." Li Shimin's eyes flashed, but his nature was hard to change, and he began to poach Wang Junlin's corner.
Li Xuanba scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Second brother, I'm really sorry, His Majesty has actually said that if I want, I can go with my second brother, and I can even take my brother with me. Some people passed by, but I like to fight, but there are only some uncivilized savages on the other side of the sea, and it’s meaningless to fight. Your Majesty has promised me to fight the Turks in the north. So I don’t want to leave.”
Li Shimin looked disappointed, but he didn't force it.
The three brothers and sisters of the Li family said some more things, Li Shimin seized the opportunity to ask various secret information about Wang Junlin, Li Xuanba said some things, and some things he withheld.
It was only then that Li Shimin discovered that his younger brother, who still seemed a bit naive, was actually a little brother, who was like a mirror in his heart. No wonder Wang Junlin let him lead the army to destroy Goguryeo by himself last year, and then let him be the commander-in-chief Fight the Turks in the north.
After half an hour, Li Xuanba bid farewell to Li Shimin and Li Xiuning, boarded his warship, and headed for Snake Island.
"Xuanba, my father was poisoned to death by Li Jing. My brother will never lie to you about this matter. You can investigate secretly."
It's just that Li Shimin said another word when he said goodbye, which planted a thorn in Li Xuanba's heart.
With a cloudy look on his face, Li Xuanba didn't want to go to Snake Island at first, but on his way to meet Li Shimin, he received a letter from Nie Xiaoyu flying an eagle to let him meet Li Shimin So I went to Snake Island, but I didn't say why.
Li Xuanba has always followed the words of his master Nie Xiaoyu, so he immediately went to the Snake Island.
What he didn't know was that on the bottom floor of the battleship he was on, in a hidden place, the No. 1 puppet, whose clothes were all soaked, was hiding there.
Three days later, Li Xuanba's battleship arrived on the Snake Island. Not long after, there was an earth-shattering explosion from Nie Xiaoyu's small building in the center of the Snake Island.
The entire small building was turned into ruins.
……
……
At the same time, Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu were chatting in the palace in Chang'an City.
"No matter how No. 1 survived in the body of the sword god, it is certain that he will not survive for long in this state. Therefore, he must go to Snake Island to find his remnant body."
"And Li Shimin and his party have always been watched by our people, No. 1 will definitely find out, so I have never dared to leave Li Shimin and his party."
"When Xuan Ba went to see Li Shimin, he was the only one who escaped from Li Shimin's army on the 1st, and he would not be discovered by us to go to Snake Island."
"So, if there is no mistake, the number one at this time has been bombed to pieces and completely dead."

………
After a spring rain, the sky is cloudless
A group of people with yellow skin and black hair are weeding, sowing and fertilizing the newly reclaimed fields with simple wooden hoes.
If other indigenous tribes on this continent saw this scene, they would be shocked, because they still depend on hunting for a living, and at most they are looking for some plant seeds in the wilderness of the forest.
Things such as corn and peas are also one of their foods.
However, they grilled or boiled the corn and peas, but they never thought about growing these plants.
But the tribe in front of me has already started farming, which is naturally an earth-shaking change.
Moreover, these hoes and other working tools have never been seen by people on this continent. It will be a novelty for the indigenous people to see, even though these indigenous people who are farming have been from two months ago. Those envoys obtained these tools in their hands, learned these methods of farming, and would look at the tools in their hands from time to time.
At this moment, a group of cavalry came galloping from a distance. The natives who were farming hurriedly put down their tools, knelt and crawled on the ground respectfully and enthusiastically to the visitors, shouting loudly in non-standard words : "Heavenly Envoy."
After a while, when the cavalry got closer, many natives saw the leader clearly, their expressions became more fanatical, and they howled loudly: "King!"
There are thousands of cavalry in this team, and the leaders are Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, and Chai Shao. They brought so few people because Li Shimin and others came to this continent to tame not many horses.
It has been half a year since Li Shimin and his party came to this continent.
It didn't take long for Li Shimin to land with more than 100,000 people, and Li Shimin discovered that this new continent was indeed as Wang Junlin said, very, very large, and it seemed no smaller than the Middle-Earth Continent.
What excites Li Shimin the most is that there are indeed residents on this continent.
What Li Shimin is most worried about is that the country he built has only the 100,000 people he brought with him. Although some people brought their families with them when they left Chang'an, the population is too small. For him, That would be too boring.
And,
What excites Li Shimin even more is that, unlike those in the Western Regions or Tianzhu who are obviously different from the Chinese, the aborigines here also have black hair and yellow skin.
During half a year, there was no fighting at all, so Li Shimin resorted to some tricks to easily subdue the five tribes, and even made the five tribes willingly regard Li Shimin as their king, or even their god.
Furthermore, Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin, Chai Shao and others, after half a year of investigation, excitedly discovered that the people here are likely to be descendants of Yanhuang just like them.
The reason why the two made such a judgment is not simply because these aborigines are yellow-skinned and black-haired, but because of some words and knowledge of the local aborigines.
For example, they found that some local aborigines called children "dolls", called rivers rivers, and boats sampans.
There are also some tribes who heard that witch doctors know acupuncture and moxibustion.
The most important thing is that after further investigation, they found that these tribes had many ancient stone carvings, and the characters on them were clearly very similar to the ancient Chinese oracle bone inscriptions, and some characters were even completely the same.
"Your Majesty, I have carefully checked the ancient books brought from Chang'an City these days, and discovered an ancient secret, which may explain why these natives are also descendants of my Chinese people." Changsun Wuji said suddenly.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Ai Qing, please tell me quickly."
Changsun Wuji said: "In the past, King Wu defeated Zhou. At that time, King Zhou sent an upright general, You Houxi, to attack Dongyi. The country was empty. King Wu of Zhou took the opportunity to raise troops and defeated him in one battle. King Zhou died, and the Shang Dynasty fell. After that The sudden disappearance of the general Youhouxi of the Shang Dynasty and more than 100,000 troops of the Linfang, Renfang, Hufang and other tribes loyal to the Shang Dynasty has become a strange case through the ages."
Li Shimin thought for a while, and said: "In this way, the reason why there are those oracle bone inscriptions and jade jade in this place, and the simple acupuncture technique used by the witch doctor in their tribe, and why I just learned about it yesterday. The traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions of Tizhu to heal wounds, these are all because of the Shang Dynasty general Youhouxi and the more than 100,000 troops of the Linfang, Renfang, Hufang and other tribes loyal to the Shang Dynasty, these indigenous people may be their descendants.”
"It's just that in the Shang Dynasty, although tribes were the mainstay, there were already towns and countries. Why did the civilization slowly degrade over the years after they came here, and it became a tribal model again."
Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, and said: "I can't understand this point, maybe after we turn all the natives of this continent into His Majesty's subjects, the reason will be clear."
Li Shimin lifted his spirits when he heard the words, and said, "Wuji, the royal city must be built within three months, and the five tribes must be divided into ten big towns and thirty villages as soon as possible according to the previous division." .”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the King City can be built in at most three months. As for the native tribes, as long as they learn how to farm, they will naturally form villages next to the fields. When your Majesty issues the currency, After the trading of money and goods became popular, markets and towns gradually formed." Changsun Wuji was also in high spirits now, and suddenly realized that it was not a bad thing that Wang Junlin didn't accept him back then. The feeling of guiding the primitive tribes who can only hunt one by one into farmers and the people under the rule step by step, and the feeling of establishing a village gives him a sense of accomplishment.
At this time, Li Changfeng, the chief officer of the Dark Eagle Guard under Li Shimin, arrived on horseback, and reported solemnly: "Your Majesty, a very large tribe has been found in the south. That tribe is already similar to a country, and they even have a city." , and their own army. Although the city is small and broken, and the army’s weapons and equipment are also very backward, it is obviously different from other tribes.”
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, and Chai Shao heard the words, but they didn't frown in the slightest, but their eyes became bright like stars, and they were all excited.
It's really not much of a challenge to fight against some natives all day long.
"What is that tribe, or that country called?" Li Shimin suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked with a smile.
Li Changfeng respectfully said: "Report to Your Majesty, that tribe is called Maya."
……
……
Half a year later, Da'an Kingdom, Chang'an City.
Shen Guoer routinely reported the latest information to Wang Junlin.
"Your Majesty, three days ago, General Li Xuanba broke through the royal court of Eastern Turks."
"All the nobles from the Wa Kingdom will be escorted to Chang'an City in half a month. The officials selected by the imperial court have already gone to sea, and the Wa Kingdom will soon be turned into a county of His Majesty."
"Li Jing from the Western Regions has reached the Ili River."
"The several kingdoms of Tubo have been frightened by General Xu Shiji. They handed over the letter of surrender and sent envoys to see His Majesty."
"The army led by Qin Qiong in the south has destroyed South Vietnam."
……
"What's the situation with Li Shimin now?" Wang Junlin finally asked.
Shen Guoer quickly took out a piece of information and said, "Your Majesty, Guoer is about to tell you! This is just sent from the other side of the sea."
At that time, Wang Junlin sent a thousand warships to send Li Shimin and his party there. The sailors operating the warships were all from Wang Junlin. Li Shimin also knew this. According to the plan, Wang Junlin left half of the sailors and warships behind. Li Shimin.
Naturally, there are people from the Security Bureau among these sailors. It is impossible for Li Shimin not to think of this, but he also acquiesced that there are people from Wang Junlin watching this continent.
"Your Majesty, it took Li Shimin more than two months on that continent to wipe out that big tribe called Maya. More than 2,000 people died, and the loss was not small." Shen Guoer reported with a smile .
"Maya..." Wang Junlin's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's not that Li Shimin underestimated the enemy, but that this Maya tribe has its own secrets."
