Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3511 Prince is sad

In ancient times, "the earth dragon turned over" was definitely a great event, so among the "visions from the sky", the influence was second to none.

Because the theory of the Five Elements has always existed as a mainstream academic in ancient times, all schools of thought originated from it, and they have been in constant contact with each other. "The Art of Kanyu" is developed on the basis of the Five Elements Theory, which is deeply valued and runs through all aspects of Chinese culture.

In terms of "Knowledge of Contingency", Guanzhong has been "the spirit of the emperor" since ancient times. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the two capitals of Fenghao and Gao were built on both sides of the Feng River.The Qin Dynasty unified and established the imperial capital Xianyang City on both sides of the Weihe River.In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an, the capital city, began to be built on a large scale, taking pictures of the whole world. The selected place looked south to Zhongnan, backed by the Wei River, and the layout of the palace corresponded to the stars in the sky, implying "the unity of man and nature", so Han Chang'an City, also known as Doucheng

Dong Zhuo set fire to the once glorious city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, which was riddled with holes and scattered.When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty decided to set up a tripod for the world, he devoted himself to creating a foundation for all generations, so he decided to rebuild the capital.

Yu Wenkai studied nature and man, and was proficient in wind and water. The place he chose was the former site of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. This place is known as "five plateaus, six hills, eight waters, and eleven pools". There is a dragon vein from the south to the north. Right at the original place of the dragon's head, there are six earth mounds running east-west on the terrain. From the height of the six slopes, the terrain gradually decreases from south to north. The shape of the ground is very similar to the six lines of Qian Gua in "Book of Changes".

Yu Wenkai believed that there is a "dragon spirit" here, which is where the dragon veins of the world are located. After getting the consent of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he recruited craftsmen from all over the world and built a new city in 31 years. It was named "Daxing City".

As far as Li Tang established the country, because he was deeply supported by the Guanlong clan, he would be rewarded after the founding of the country, and Guanzhong is the place where Guanlong forces gather, so the capital is still set in Daxing City, but it means "long-term peace and stability". Rename Daxing City to Chang'an City...

It can be seen from this that the land of Chang'an has always been regarded as the location of the "dragon vein".However, the turning of the earth dragon will change the earth's veins and the rotation of luck. If it happens in such a place with "dragon veins", it will destroy the "dragon veins", and the consequences will be extremely serious.

So when Li Chunfeng heard Li Chengqian's question, he immediately insisted: "This is definitely not an earth dragon turning over!"

Pointing to the still condensed mushroom cloud in the distance, he said decisively: "Earth dragons turn over, the severity is different, and the evil results are also different. Of course, when the earth gas leaks and lava sprays, it is probably just smoke Rising, lava gushing, never seen such a vision."

All the ministers felt relieved when they saw Li Chunfeng's promise.

After all, this person is an authority in the astronomical aspects of the Tang Dynasty, and his words represent the most authoritative conclusions. If he says no, then naturally it is not.

As long as the "Dragon Vein" is not destroyed, the morale of the army can be stabilized. Otherwise, if there are rumors that the "Dragon Vein" has been destroyed at this time, it will cause a huge blow to the Six Rates of the East Palace and the people in Chang'an City who still have their hearts towards the East Palace. .

Li Daozong looked deeply at the direction where the mushroom cloud was rising, and said slowly: "Based on the distance and direction, it should be near the foundry bureau. The students of the academy went to guard under the order of the prince, but the rebels must have continued to attack. It must be the foundry bureau. There was an accident. If the phenomenon was not caused by the Earth Dragon turning around, could it be that all the gunpowder stored in the warehouse of the Foundry Bureau exploded..."

The hearts of the people around me sank immediately.

They have all seen the power of gunpowder before. Although the vision in front of them is too terrifying and unbelievable, since it was not caused by the earth dragon turning over, it is very likely that the huge amount of gunpowder in the warehouse of the Foundry Bureau detonated together. .

On the Liaodong battlefield, gunpowder showed great power. The strong mountain cities built by the Goguryeo people for decades were blown up one by one by gunpowder. Several decrees were issued to order the Foundry Bureau to expand the scale of gunpowder production.However, the Foundry Bureau did increase workshops and craftsmen, and expanded production capacity day and night, but the Liaodong side suddenly withdrew its troops, resulting in a huge amount of gunpowder being stranded in the warehouse of the Foundry Bureau and unable to be shipped out in time.

If it was true that these gunpowders were detonated together to produce such destructive energy, then how could those academy students who were ordered by the crown prince to stick to the foundry still have a chance to survive...

Li Chengqian's heart was like a lead, and he stared blankly at the huge mushroom cloud that seemed to shouldn't exist in the world. He felt regretful, and after a long time, he sighed: "It's my fault. I will not go to the foundry bureau, and I will not encounter such a disaster. I am afraid that there are no bones left at this moment. These are the elites of the empire, and each of them is an outstanding man. Funeral! If I had known this before, I would rather have the gunpowder blow up by the rebels and blow up the imperial city than these pillars of the country would die here..."

When it came to the end, I was already full of remorse and tears.

Xiao Yu hurriedly comforted him and said: "Why is your Highness doing this? We eat the king's salary, and we should be loyal to the king. Your Highness is the crown prince canonized by His Majesty's golden canon, and he is the heir of the country. The country is upright and the country is orthodox. He should do his best to assist and swear to death." Allegiance! All the people here, as well as the countless loyal people in the world, are willing to throw their heads and blood in order to maintain His Highness, and they will die soon! Those students fought hard and died, and their names will last forever in history.

Li Daozong also said: "Song Guogong's words are very true. His Highness is generous and benevolent. He can't bear to see more than a thousand students buried in the hands of thieves. But who can reverse this kind of God's will? Besides, everything is speculation. It may not be the explosion in the warehouse of the Foundry Bureau, even if it is true, maybe the students will be able to evacuate in time."

Although Li Chengqian felt sad and remorseful in his heart, he felt that it was his own edict that caused the tragic death of these students. With such a devastating power, his bones would have long since disappeared... But he also knew that he was the backbone at this moment, and he must not just because Momentary grief led to a drop in morale, so he calmed down, nodded and said: "Everyone, don't worry, although Gu is soft-hearted, he also knows that maintaining the integrity of the society is the most important thing at this moment."

But in the bottom of my heart, I made up my mind, if this time I can turn defeat into victory, and it is confirmed afterwards that those students have died for the country, then I must set up a monument for them, and pass on such heroic deeds to future generations, and I will never let the name of the hero Buried in dust and ashes...

*****
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, the entire army of the Zuo Tunwei made a surprise attack from the beginning, and the Right Tunwei was forced to take defensive actions, until now the situation has completely reversed.First gunpowder bombardment, followed by musket salvos, the Zuo Tunwei faced the powerful firepower of the Right Tunwei and lost troops, resulting in low morale and a disorganized formation, which almost collapsed the entire army.Then the right guards turned from defense to offense, attacking forcefully, bombarding with artillery in the distance, almost assaulting with armored cavalry, even if the royal army joined them, it would be difficult to save the defeat.

At this moment, on the plateau to the north of Xuanwu Gate, the guards of the right guard divided up and launched a complete counterattack.It was not until they retreated to the bank of the Wei River that they joined forces with the royal army to regroup and gain a chance to breathe.

However, Chai Zhewei knew that when the artillery of the right guard was adjusted and the exhausted armored cavalry took a rest, they would usher in a round of relentless charge. With the current strength and morale of the left guard , absolutely irresistible.

The defeat is set.

The only extravagant hope is that the Zuo Tunwei army will never be wiped out...

But easier said than done?
Chai Zhewei looked at the soldiers of the Right Guards who were slowly moving forward and constantly adjusting their array, then looked at the subordinates around him who had discarded their armor and their morale collapsed, and looked back at the Weishui River, which was still rolling in waves in winter. The cold air completely occupied the whole body, his hands and feet were cold, and he lost all confidence.

How could this battle be fought like this?
Although he knew that the Right Tunwei had once marched out of the Bai Dao and overthrew Xue Yantuo, and had a great reputation and mighty combat power, he never thought that his Zuo Tunwei was inferior to him.What's more, the number of soldiers under my command is more than double that of the Youtunwei, plus more than [-] royal troops, even if you can't wipe out the Youtunwei, you can completely defeat it. In the end, it took less than half a day, and I hoped that I could help myself The troops that seized more power and more benefits were completely disabled, and even faced the danger of annihilation.

This is totally out of line with what I imagined...
