Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Vol 2 Chapter 1542: God’s prophecy reappears!

  In historical records, we often see the Central Plains people fighting against the northern grassland peoples. The mighty national wars are always interspersed at the key nodes of each dynasty.

The once powerful Han dynasty can finally play its own blood through war and establish a great dynasty. Those countries with a little power, such as the Five Dynasties, Ten Kingdoms and the Song Dynasty, can only choose to subdue under the powerful blows. Extinction.

   However, the Tang Dynasty recorded in the history books seems to be very different. It has neither gone through arduous struggles nor made **** sacrifices. On the contrary, it easily defeated the other side.

   Is it because the Turks are too weak?

Obviously not!

We must know that in historical records, the strength of the Turkic empire is very powerful. As early as the five-hu and sixteen-nation period, the Turkic empire had repeatedly interfered with the Central Plains regime and destroyed several powerful countries. The prosperity of Beidi is not there yet. Looking high at the Yinshan Mountains, there is a desire to dismiss the summer." The Turkic Empire in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties was no weaker than the Xiongnu before the Han, and even stronger!

   For the Tang Dynasty’s destruction of the East Turks, historical records have been attributed to Li Er’s personal brilliance and the Tang’s military strength, so it was easy to win the East Turks. Moreover, Li Jing, the chief hero of this battle, was even more deified, saying that he had only three thousand to destroy the East Turks.

   said that it is still possible for Li Jing to destroy the East Turks three thousand times, perhaps not from Li Jing's military genius, nor from the military strength of Datang. Just imagine, for this unprecedented battle, the history books did not record much, nor did it record any large-scale battle between the two sides. The East Turks seem to be easy and surrender without a fight. This phenomenon is very abnormal.

  Compared with the manpower, material and financial resources spent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in attacking the Huns in those days, it almost emptied the country, and the Turks were probably stronger than the Huns. No matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to defeat the Turks that dominated the grasslands so quickly.

   But why was the country destroyed by the weaker Datang? In addition to Tang Jun’s coach Li Jing’s outstanding military commanding talents, what’s more important is that Datang has been "blessed by God"!

The four words "God Blessed" sound very mysterious, but they really exist. First of all, with the help of Changsun Sheng, the Sui Dynasty at that time broke the Turks into two divided parts—— East Turks and West Turks. Although the strength of the Turkic Empire is still there, its internal classification factors have been formed and are difficult to resolve. Against this background, although the Tang Empire was embarrassed by the Turkic Empire in the early days of the founding of the country, the Turkic Empire did not achieve true unity. The two sides either engaged in internal conflicts or were unable to concentrate their full efforts on attacking the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, in history, when the Tang Empire was preparing for war with the Turks, the Turks were suddenly hit by snow and ice disasters for two consecutive years. According to historical records, in the first year of Zhenguan, "the country was snowing heavily, and the flat land was a few feet away, the sheep and horses died, and the people were hungry." In the second year of Zhenguan, "Jieli Middle School, frost fell in midsummer", how serious was this catastrophe? In fact, this was not a disaster confined to the Mongolian grasslands, but a major disaster in the entire northern hemisphere. The Tang Dynasty was also affected.

In the second year of Zhenguan, in the Yellow River basin of China, especially in Hebei, there was also a snow disaster, and the disaster was very serious. Even if the Turkic Khanate went deep into the Tang Dynasty and plundered it, there would be no gain.

The temperature in the northern hemisphere dropped suddenly. Severe snowstorms and frosts caused a large number of East Turkic livestock to freeze to death, resulting in an unprecedented famine. In order to maintain its military strength, Jie Li Khan had to forcibly collect military supplies from the grasslands, but this caused the Turkic domestic The resistance of most tribes, after all, within the Turks are no longer monolithic!

So it was against this background that Li Er launched a war against the Turks, and the Turkic Empire had long lost the indomitable fighting power of the year, so this massive national war was fought so quickly and peacefully. Easy.

After the fall of the East Turks, Emperor Taizong issued an edict: "Since last year, the money has been reduced successively. It does not take care of the generals and the strategy of Jia Chao. Go back to Yi Mansion."

   From this edict, we can also see that after the Tang Dynasty sent troops, there was almost no decent resistance. Many Turkic tribes surrendered one after another in order to survive. As a result, Li Er lamented that there was no need to labor or strategy at all, and the East Turks would perish.

But now Li Er intends to start a national war with Turks a full year in advance. This number of wins and losses is difficult to determine, because at this time the Turks are still very powerful, at least what Jie Li said on the grasslands. Still no one would dare not listen! Therefore, Li Zexuan firmly opposes the dispatch of troops to the Turks three months later!

   "Your Majesty, the minister thought it was very inappropriate to attack Turks at this time!"

   In the Tai Chi Hall, after struggling in his heart, Li Zexuan solemnly arched his hands.

   When the voice fell off, the officials were in an uproar!

The civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Li Zexuan was a "militant". When the prime minister of the Jie Japanese dynasty came to Datang to beg for marriage, he was directly sent back by Li Zexuan, and threatened to fight if he wanted to fight. Also, the Japanese delegation visited the Da Tang. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Zexuan was not only on guard everywhere, but sometimes at every turn, he was clearly not afraid of causing trouble!

   After hearing the news that Datang was about to attack Turks, the first reaction of such a hard-line "militant" was not in agreement with both hands, but in opposition? All ministers thought whether the sun had come out today!

Sitting at the head of Li Er, he wrinkled his brows and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Jie Li ignored Datang and ignored me, so he dared to send soldiers and horses to Yanmen Pass. I am the lord of Datang. , Why can't I return the color?"

   Anyone who is familiar with Li Er knows that Li Er is a little angry at this time! Because Li Zexuan has always been a younger generation that Li Er valued very much, but today Li Zexuan's statement on the Tang and Turkic warfare made Li Er very disappointed! Thinking of the talent he carefully cultivated, he is a fearful rat. How can Li Er not get angry? How not to be distressed?

   "Your Majesty! Since the former Sui Dynasty, after the Turks were divided into Eastern and Western Turks, chaos within the Turks has occurred. Coupled with the snow disaster that broke out in the Turks last year, the Turks have lost a lot of food. These are all signs of the decline of the Turks' national power!"

   Meeting Li Er's disappointed gaze, Li Zexuan arched his hands as usual.

   Li Er said lightly: "In that case, shouldn't I send troops to destroy Jieli at this time?"

   Li Zexuan shook his head quickly and said, "That's not the case! Your Majesty, although the Turks suffered from civil strife and natural disasters, Jieli's strength is well preserved, and the national strength is still stronger than ours! In the opinion of a minister,"

In the view of the ministers," In addition, historically in the Tang Empire When preparing to go to war with the Turks, the Turks were suddenly hit by snow and ice disasters for two consecutive years. According to historical records, in the first year of Zhenguan, “the country was snowing heavily, a few feet on the ground, the sheep and horses were dead, and the people were hungry”. , Midsummer frost", how serious is this catastrophe?
