Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Pi Xia Ke

Li Zexuan did not expect that the teachers and students of the academy would encounter such a big crisis in Taiyuan City. He expected that the Turkic people would stand up after learning the purpose of the academy's people to go north, but according to his prediction, the Turkic people are most likely to be in Yunzhou, after all, is located on the border of Datang, and the emperor is far away, but he never expected that the Turks would directly throw the "king bomb" in Taiyuan City. Shouldn't they first try to test the reality and reality in Taiyuan City? Do you want to launch another "Lore" in Yunzhou?

This series of actions by the Turkic spies was unreasonable, but it was precisely because of this that they caught everyone by surprise!

However, Li Zexuan did not expect that his old man would intercept the secret letter of the Turkic spy in a crooked manner. This is too critical. If it were not for this crooked act, the situation of the teachers and students of the college would only be more passive, and even they would even face themselves. No one knows the right enemy, let alone deal with it!

Of course, what Li Zexuan didn't expect most was that the leader of Turkic spies was actually Zhao Deyan!

Although he was not familiar with history in his previous life, he still heard about Zhao Deyan! This guy is the number one traitor in the Tang Dynasty!

However, compared with other traitors in history, Zhao Deyan, the big traitor, did not leave much infamy in the history books. On the contrary, many people in the Central Plains even have a good impression of him. The main reason is that Zhao Deyan, the big traitor, was not Not "qualified", if you count his deeds in the Turks, not only did he fail to help the Turks, he even helped Datang to some extent!

The TV series "The Reign of Zhen Guan" is very interesting about Jie Li's description of Zhao Deyan. Zhao Deyan turned out to be the governor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin discovered that he was good at flattering and had no real ability to learn, so he decided to let him harm the Turks.

Li Shimin first removed Zhao Deyan from the position of governor, and then asked Zhao Deyan to accompany the Tang delegation as an envoy to Turks. After Zhao Deyan arrived in Turks, he slid his beard and beat a horse, making Jieli Khan feel very useful, so he decided to reuse Zhao Deyan. In order for Zhao Deyan to serve Jieli wholeheartedly, Li Shimin sent Zhao Deyan's family to Turks.

The official history is limited by space, and there is no record of how Jie Li Khan got Zhao Deyan. "Zi Zhi Tong Jian Volume 192" only records that "Jie Li Khan was awarded the Chinese Zhao Deyan and appointed it."

The East Turks maintained an absolute advantage over almost any force in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. In 615 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui, who still regarded himself as the emperor of the ages, traveled north to Yanmen. The Turkic cavalry, who received the news, took the opportunity to march south. They have broken through all the way, conquering most of the area near Yanmen. Sui Yang Emperor was in a panic, hiding in Yanmen County for a while. The Turkic army immediately blocked the city and launched a siege. In the fierce battle, the arrows of the Turkic people once shot to Sui Yang Emperor. Sui Yang, who was invincible on weekdays, was scared to tears after facing the pressure of the battlefield with real swords and guns. As the Turkic offensive intensified, Yang Guang, who was terrified, cried until his eyes were swollen.

After this war, the prestige of the East Turkic Khanate became stronger and became the overlord of the grasslands of Northeast Asia at that time. At their peak, they expanded their territory to the vast area between the Khitan and Shiwei tribes in the east and Tuyuhun and Gaochang in the west. The chiefs of the tribes and the monarchs of the small countries all surrendered to the East Turkic Khan.

After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, the East Turks became even more popular. At that time, the warlords in the northern part of the Central Plains more or less had transactions with the East Turkic Khanate. It also includes the Tang Gaozu Li Yuan who was based in Shanxi. He even did not hesitate to proclaim his ministers to the Turks, so that when he attacked Chang'an, he borrowed five hundred Turkic cavalry. Through this method of pretending to be invincible, put great pressure on the opponent.

The East Turkic forces are becoming stronger and stronger, and even seeing the capital that threatens the Tang Dynasty and aspirations to the Central Plains, but for the Khan Jieli of the East Turks, there is always a heart disease, he longs for the supreme power of Li Yuan and Li Er!

When the Turkic forces started, the mode of rule was quite simple. Other nobles under the Khan also have considerable power. In their respective tribes, they retained their original customary laws without interference from the Khan. The privilege of life and death possessed by the emperor of the Central Plains in the country was just a longing for the Turkic Khan.

Therefore, Jie Li Khan appointed Zhao Deyan, a Han Chinese who had fled to the grassland, to carry out drastic political reforms for him. Jie Li hopes to strengthen his power and completely unify the tribes that have autonomy rights.

Zhao Deyan, who was appointed, also fulfilled his mission. He moved the Central Plains dynasty's methods of ruling the world to the grassland intact. As a result, the Khan carried out a compulsory "sinicization reform" for the Turks.

At that time, the Central Plains Dynasty had a very advanced national management system. For example, three provinces and six departments, two-level administrative system of state and county, and so on. This system is indeed much more advanced than the Turkic administrative system.

The crux of the problem is that this advanced system is suitable for farming-based China, but not suitable for nomadic Turks. It is like a strict personnel system, suitable for large companies, but not suitable for some small private enterprises. The Great Khan Jieli didn't understand this truth, so Zhao Deyan had full power to promote the reform of the Turkic administration.

But the Turkic tribes have long been accustomed to simple, rude and effective administrative methods. They had a great resistance to Zhao Deyan's reforms. In order to promote the smooth progress of the reform, Zhao Deyan used the power given by the Jieli Great Khan to suppress the Turkic tribes who opposed the reform. Zhao Deyan's reforms were pushed forward amidst numerous resistances, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Turkic people with the Jieli Khan.

This incident is recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian Volume 192". The original text is "German language focuses on its prestige, and often changes the old customs. The government orders are annoying and the Chinese people are not happy."

Zhao Deyan copied China's administrative methods and complicated simple issues, causing the major tribes of the Turkic to complain about the Jieli Khan. With Zhao Deyan's help, many Turks are unwilling to work for the Jieli Great Khan. Tribes with conditions and opportunities have begun to find ways to escape Jieli's control, and some even went directly to the Tang Dynasty, for example. A few months ago, the leader of the Khitan tribe led the tribe to defect to Datang. A large part of the reason was that Jie Li had begun to renounce his virtue on the grassland!

Therefore, to some extent, although Zhao Deyan is a big traitor, he is a "big traitor" who has made great contributions to Li Er!

The rolling wheels of history did not change the direction of advancement because of Li Zexuan's accidental crossing, but because of Li Zexuan's "butterfly wings", some variables appeared out of thin air!

For example, without him, there would be no Yanhuang Academy, no teachers and students of the current academy going north to build a telegraph relay station, and there would be no Turkic spies lying in Taiyuan and capturing Li Tai!

Of course, without him, Han Lizheng would not have gone to Yifang County, and naturally would not accidentally intercept the superstition Zhao Deyan passed on to Jie Li!

However, the most unexpected variable for Li Zexuan is that according to official history, Zhao Deyan should help Jieli carry out the "Sinicization reform" on the grassland at this moment. How could he appear in Taiyuan? And with a bunch of Turkic spies? If the "Minister of Reform" does not do a good job, why does this guy become the leader of the "secret"?

"Didididi~!"

The ticking sound of the telegraph machine continued to ring. Li Zexuan quickly recovered his thoughts and continued to listen to the telegram sent by Tiedan.

In this last part of the telegram, Tiedan is asking him for advice on how to rescue Tiedan!

"Master, when Qingque was captured, let me find you. He said you must have a way to save him, and he asked Master for advice! Even if you go through fires and waters, I will definitely rescue Qingque!"

Seeing Tiedan’s last words, Li Zexuan couldn’t help being silent. Li Zexuan couldn’t help being a little touched by Li Tai’s unreserved trust in him at a critical moment, but the firm tone of Tiedan’s words made him He felt tight. Obviously, Tiedan attributed most of the responsibility for Li Tai's arrest to himself. In order to rescue Li Tai, he seemed to be completely disregarded for his own safety!

Li Zexuan didn't want Li Tai to have an accident, but he didn't want it to happen to the iron egg. One of the two children was one of his most proud students, who won most of his true biography, and the other was his direct disciple, plus his brother-in-law. It was difficult for him to accept any accident. After taking a deep breath, Li Zexuan manipulated the telegraph and gave Tiedan a reply.

"What happened tonight was anticipated by the teacher. You should take a rest first. Don't act rashly. The rescue has been arranged for the teacher. There will be nothing wrong with Qingque~!"
