When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 88: Lao Zhu promotes Jinyiwei! (Subscribe please!)
Li Yuan waved his hand.

It provided the army with three months’ worth of food and fodder.

Considering Li Yuan's character.

Yang Guang decided to take Li Yuan's son with him.

Li Yuan looked at his three sons.

The three were overjoyed, and it seemed that they were being taken as hostages.

But the Four Emperors don't want land, they just want some money and food at most.

The conquered territory does not yet belong to the Tang Dynasty.

Expanding territory is a great achievement!
It was the kind that I picked up for free.

No one wants to let go.

Li Shimin was full of vigor and immediately stepped out: "Father, I am willing to lead the troops and lead the Four Emperors!"

Li Jiancheng followed closely behind: "Father, as the crown prince, I am willing to lead the Four Emperors!"

Li Yuanji was unwilling to lag behind and also submitted an application.

If it were in the past, Li Yuan would not have to think too much and would have sent Li Shimin directly.

Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, so it is not appropriate.

Li Yuanji is a strong man, suitable for charging into battle, but he is not good at taking charge of things on his own.

Now that we know about the Xuanwu Gate Incident, we feel that we cannot allow Li Jiancheng to become a domesticated child.

"Jiancheng, you will be the commander-in-chief. You can choose all the soldiers. Lead 100,000 soldiers and follow the Four Emperors."

Li Jiancheng was overjoyed as he finally didn't have to calculate food and fodder at home.

Even if you work silently behind the scenes, the military achievements are not yours.

"Thank you, Father!"

Li Shimin was very anxious: "Father, as the crown prince, my brother must not be in trouble. Let me go, and you can stay at home to take care of the food and logistics."

Li Yuan had made up his mind: "King Qin, you also need to learn about the logistics management of the army."

"Besides, the identity of the crown prince can make them feel more at ease."

"Besides, Jiancheng had drunk with Yang Guang and Zhu Ming before, so under normal circumstances, they would not be embarrassed."

"Finally, your mother is here. Why don't you spend more time with her? You should know that you were the one she was most worried about when she left."

Li Yuanji: "Why don't you let me go with my elder brother?"

Li Yuan angrily scolded: "Go wherever is cooler, don't go and cause trouble for your elder brother, stay home and spend more time with your mother. You should know that when your mother passed away, you were the one she was most worried about. In a few days, your mother will be gone, and you will cry every day under the quilt again!"

Li Yuanji could only give up and couldn't help asking, "Father, when my mother passed away, who was the one she was most worried about, my second brother or me?"

Emperor Tang Li Yuan pointed at Emperor Sui Li Yuan and said, "Your father is over there. Go ask him. He knows!"

A few days later, Li Jiancheng arranged all his generals.

Seeing that Li Jing of the Sui Dynasty was able to personally command 100,000 troops, it seems that he is extremely capable.

Also arrange for Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty to be included.

Following the Four Emperors, they sailed down the river in a mighty procession.

Arrived in Hedong County.

Qin Shi Huang, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di took out the map to check it.

There is a granary in Hedong County, although it is not big.

But after replenishment, there are still more than 100,000 stones.

It comes to nearly 20 million kilograms, close to 10,000 tons.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

What's more, this is a string and can hold a bottle of wine.

Stop the army immediately.

Li Jiancheng was confused.

Just set off not long ago.

It is still some distance away from Luoyang, and even farther from Dou Jiande.

"Uncles, this is Hedong County. Why are we stopping here?"

Yang Guang already knew what these people were thinking.

Li Jiancheng can be considered as his great cousin.

"Jiancheng, we have been walking for so long and need to replenish our energy. So, go open the city gate and let the soldiers in."

Li Jiancheng felt there was a trap.

He was reluctant to move.

Old Zhu chuckled and pointed to the small mound next to him. "Nephew, do you see that mosquito over there? Old Four, hit it for me!"

Zhu Di picked up the cannon barrel.

A rocket launched out.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

A cloud of dust kicked up.

Look carefully.

The small mound disappeared without a trace.

The first time I saw a rocket launcher.

Li Jiancheng was stunned and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Could it be that I have been in the palace all the time and lost touch with the battlefield?
This kind of powerful weapon has appeared in today's wars.

We have to bombard the city gate.

Li Jiancheng was afraid that no city gate he knew could be resisted.

The First Emperor patted Li Jiancheng on the shoulder and said, "Listen to your uncles, we are just going in to replenish them."

Li Jiancheng's eyelids twitched.

Imagine yourself saying no.

The city gate was blasted open with one shot.

Without the city gates, a million-strong army could be wiped out in an instant.

"My uncles are right. We should make some additions after being gone for so long."

Lao Zhu: "That's right. Don't worry. We are well-known for caring for the people and will never bully them."

Li Jiancheng arrived at the city gate.

The general defending the city naturally recognized this prince of the Tang Dynasty.

I cursed in my heart, is the prince planning to rebel?

Counted the number of people.

At least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

This does not include what is invisible.

With this force, there would be no problem in rebelling.

He cursed angrily: "If I do it, maybe I can even get the credit for following the dragon!"

"Someone, open the city gate and let them in!"

There is no way the Four Emperors would be so stupid as to just go in like this.

People were immediately sent to take over the city defense.

Under the leadership of Li Jiancheng.

Came to the warehouse.

When I opened it, I saw that it was full of food.

Zhu Ming: "We can't move all of them away, otherwise, if there's a disaster or something, the people might have nothing to eat."

The Four Emperors said with a bitter face: "Since we are here, let's move some things."

Zhu Ming: "Move half of it!"

"For the rest, look for the noble families here."

"Li Yuan wants to deal with the aristocratic family, so let's help him."

Yang Guang's eyes lit up, perhaps this method could be used in the Sui Dynasty.

"Okay, let's follow Hou Potato's method!"

"Look for the deceased landlord."

Zhu Ming was stunned: "Am I not Uncle Potato in your place?"

Yang Guang laughed: "That's all old news. You have been promoted to marquis a long time ago."

Lao Zhu: "You can check the officials here. We brought a group of Jinyiwei here for internship this time. We won't leave any corrupt officials behind!"

Yang Guang couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take?"

Lao Zhu: “Three days is about right.”

Yang Guang calculated in his mind: "There is still enough time. In this case, let's see who is more powerful, your Jinyiwei or my inner and outer officials."

The First Emperor was also quite curious: "My Black Ice Platform is also very powerful."

Old Zhu chuckled: "We admit that you are powerful, but compared to the Jinyiwei, you are nothing!"

three days later.

The Four Emperors returned with a full load.

Li Jiancheng's face turned pale.

I have witnessed with my own eyes how the Jinyiwei interrogated people.

It directly overturned Li Jiancheng's three views.

I am amazed at the Ming Dynasty’s torture methods, which were really innovative.

The tortures in the Tang Dynasty were much more diverse than what he knew.

Even the First Emperor and Yang Guang had to admire him.

Compared with the Black Ice Platform and the Inner and Outer Palaces, his own Black Ice Platform was just a child's play.

Look at their efficiency.

In less than three days, we had completed the investigation.

If it takes at least a month or two for the Black Ice Platform and the Inner and Outer Marquisates to achieve the current results.

"The officials in your place would probably tremble when they hear the words Jinyiwei!"

Old Zhu shook his head: "That's not the case. We value evidence. If you are an honest official, you can slap them a few times and they won't fight back."

"Moreover, your officials here may be in their first encounter, and their mental quality is not very good. If they were in the Ming Dynasty, they would be as stubborn as dead ducks!"

Zhu Ming shook his head: "I don't know what the real Jinyiwei are like, but the Jinyiwei on TV are very fierce."

"It is said that they are omnipresent. Officials may not be afraid of the emperor, but they dare not show off when they see the Jinyiwei!"

Li Jiancheng pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhu, can you give me some advice on how to build such a Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Ming was startled and looked at Li Jiancheng.

I really didn't expect that Li Jiancheng actually had the idea of ​​establishing the Jinyiwei.

Why was he so sure? Just when Li Jiancheng asked.

A reminder came from my mind: "Witness the birth of the Tang Dynasty Jinyiwei and be rewarded with 2 witness points!"

Zhu Ming sighed in his heart, Li Er, you may be in trouble!
Lao Zhu: "Of course, you guys want to learn it? It only takes 50,000 shi of grain!"

"We will send a senior Jinyiwei to give you instructions, and we promise that you will learn it!"

Zhu Ming was happy: "This thing can also provide after-sales service, not bad!"

"Ding, witness the birth of the Great Qin Jinyiwei, and be rewarded with 2 witness points!"

"Ding, witness the birth of the Great Sui Jinyiwei, and be rewarded with 2 witness points!"

Zhu Ming spat out a mouthful of water.

It is unexpected that in such a short period of time, we witnessed the appearance of the Jinyiwei in three dynasties.

Zhu Ming had no doubt that if there were other dynasties, Zhu's Jinyiwei would be more widely spread. Along the river.

The army soon arrived at Dou Jiande's territory.

It is impossible to hide the millions of troops.

And there is no need to hide anything, just enter Hebei Road openly.

Dou Jiande's men immediately passed the news back.

Upon hearing the news, Dou Jiande dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

"What the hell, a million troops?"

"Which force can mobilize a million troops now?"

"Even for the Tang Dynasty, being able to dispatch 200,000 or 300,000 troops at a time is already the best they can do."

"Let alone a million-strong army, even a million civilians would have difficulty. Explore further and report back when you have a clear view!"

Not long after, the spy came back and continued to report:
"King Xia, you are not mistaken, there are indeed a million troops!"

"But it shouldn't be a force."

"There were 100,000 flying the 'Tang' flag, 300,000 flying the 'Sui' flag, 300,000 flying the 'Qin' flag, 200,000 flying the 'Hongwu Ming' flag, and 200,000 flying the 'Yongle Ming' flag."

Dou Jiande jumped up from the stool and paced back and forth.

Dou Jiande was very clear about the Tang Dynasty, that was Li Yuan's Li Tang.

Sui's words made Dou Jiande a little confused.

Luoyang now belongs to Wang Shichong, and its name has long been changed to Zheng.

It was impossible for other remaining forces of the Sui Dynasty to get along with Li Tang.

Qin had only heard of Xi Qin and had already withdrawn from this season.

I have no idea about the remaining two.

"There is no way I can defeat more than a million people. Even if I win, I guess Wang Shichong and Li Tang won't wait for me to recover and will attack me right away."

Dou Jiande killed Yu Wenzhi not long after.

Many officials who followed Yang Guang to Jiangdu are now in his hands.

Temporarily used to replenish his own Xia Kingdom.

Among them, Pei Ju was one of the people Dou Jiande respected the most.

"Minister Pei, I'm sure you've heard about the crisis in Xia Country."

"A million-strong army that came from nowhere has entered Xia Country. This king would like to ask Minister Pei to go there as an envoy to find out their intentions."

Pei Ju arrived in the Kingdom of Xia.

He was valued by Dou Jiande, who also killed Yu Wenzhi to avenge Yang Guang.

Even in his heart, Pei Ju did not think that Dou Jiande could seize the world.

But as long as he is in Xia Country, he will still do his job conscientiously.

"I have also heard about this. Although they are coming with great force, it does not seem that they are here to destroy the Xia Kingdom."

"I will go there in person to see what the other party is planning!"

Two days later.

Pei Ju came to where the Four Emperors' army was stationed.

"The envoy from Xia has arrived!"

Yang Guang was the leader and had a better understanding of the area, and there were Sui officials among the various rebel forces.

Whenever something happened, Yang Guang would step in.

"Let him in!"

Pei Ju represents the Xia Kingdom and cannot weaken his momentum.

He took a deep breath and walked into the tent calmly.

The two looked at each other.

Pei Ju's courage, which he had finally built up, suddenly deflated.

Pointing at Yang Guang tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible!"

Yang Guang was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance again.

He snorted coldly: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Minister Pei, how great! Judging from Minister Pei's appearance, it seems that he has lived a very comfortable life after the Jiangdu Incident!"

Pei Ju was a little out of control when he suddenly saw Yang Guang.

But he recovered immediately.

Yang Guang had died in the Jiangdu Rebellion.

I had a physical examination at that time, so there must be nothing wrong!

The person in front of me must be a fake.

He asked sternly, "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be the late emperor? You are so brave!"

Yang Guang naturally knew it and narrowed his eyes: "Pretending? Then let me help Minister Pei recall it."

"On November 11th five years ago, do you remember what I did with you?"

Pei Ju’s eyes widened. Of course he remembered.

Only he and Yang Guang knew about this matter, and it was not a good thing, so it would definitely not be spread to others.

With the help of Yang Guang, Pei Ju felt that many of his secrets were exposed.

By now, how could he not know that Yang Guang was right in front of him?

As for the one who died in the Jiangdu Rebellion, he might have been a carefully prepared substitute.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to conceal it.

Pei Ju couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart, what a good trick!

He also silently gave a thumbs up to Empress Xiao, whose acting skills deceived everyone.

"Your Majesty, I, Pei Ju, pay my respects to you!"

Yang Guang didn’t know how to explain it, but as long as the other party believed that he was Yang Guang, that was enough.

"No need to be polite. You are representing the Xia Kingdom now. It was Dou Jiande who asked you to come!"

Pei Ju was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it was King Xia who asked me to come here."

"A million troops are approaching the Xia Kingdom, and the King of Xia wants to find out what is going on."

Opposite him was Yang Guang, so Pei Ju simply stated his purpose directly.

In Pei Ju's opinion, he probably wanted to eliminate Dou Jiande and bring back Empress Xiao.

All I can do is save his life.

Yang Guang did not hide it: "Go back and tell Dou Jiande that the purpose of my coming here is not to destroy his Xia Kingdom, but to bring back Empress Xiao and the royal family!"

"He'd better be sensible, otherwise, we'll have war!"

Pei Ju: "I will definitely pass on your message!"

Return to Xiaguo
Pei Ju conveyed the message.

Dou Jiande was stunned: "You said that the person opposite is Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Wasn't he killed by Yu Wenzhi during the Jiangdu Incident?"

Pei Ju smiled bitterly: "I have always thought so before. Maybe it is just a substitute carefully prepared by Your Majesty."

"Although I don't know the details, it was the Sui Emperor who led the troops here!"

Dou Jiande gritted his teeth, feeling that Yang Guang was playing a big game.

He hid it from everyone in the world and now has an army of one million.

It seems like the world is about to be pacified again.

It can also catch all the traitors and rebels in the country in one fell swoop.

This is a bigger undertaking than building the Grand Canal or the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo!
Dou Jiande couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Emperor Sui, no, Your Majesty really said that as long as we hand over Empress Xiao and others, we will leave?"

Pei Ju nodded: "Your Majesty did say so."

"He also said that it was you who avenged him and killed Yu Wenzhi, and treated the Sui officials and the royal family well."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to talk to."

Dou Jiande couldn't help but wipe his forehead, thinking that it was a good thing that he was not the kind of person whose lower body controlled his upper body.

Otherwise, it won’t be long before we can have the feast.

"What about Princess Yicheng of the Turks?"

"The Turks she sent are almost here."

Pei Ju: "His Majesty already knows about this matter, he will solve it."

Dou Jiande: "That's good. Two days later, I will personally send Empress Xiao and others away. Then, I would like to see Your Majesty."

Pei Ju nodded: "I will go and inform Your Majesty right away!"

After Pei Ju left.

Dou Jiande found that his back was soaked.

He touched the seat under his butt.

"Alas, we finally got on the right track, but now I'm afraid it's all over."

"I hope I can save my life."

Empress Xiao was quite grateful to Dou Jiande.

After all, killing Yu Wenzhi helped Yang Guang avenge his death.

It was a respect for both himself and the Sui Dynasty royal family.

Except for a few ministers who participated in the Jiangdu Rebellion, all other officials of the Sui Dynasty were not troubled.

Moreover, during this period in Xia State, I heard about Dou Jiande's reputation.

He is a rare wise leader.

It's a pity that in this era of aristocratic families.

Dou Jiande's background was not good.

Look at the investments made by other noble families in Dou Jiande.

Basically, they are members of the side branches and those who are not valued.

The money, food and weapons provided were also pitifully small.

It's totally incomparable with the Tang Dynasty!

"Why is King Xia interested in coming here today?"

Dou Jiande stared at Empress Xiao.

She is in her fifties and her looks are no longer the same, but her temperament is outstanding and she still stands out in the crowd.

"The Queen has great acting skills. I admire her so much!" Dou Jiande said with a salute.

Empress Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Please forgive my ignorance. I don't understand what the king means."

Send someone under the fence.

Although Dou Jiande always called himself a minister.

Empress Xiao did not dare to act presumptuously and acted as if she were the empress.

Dou Jiande gave a thumbs up in his heart again, look at such acting skills.

Let’s not talk about myself for now, just look at the group of old ministers of the Sui Dynasty who were captured, every one of them is an old fox.

No one noticed it.

If Liu Bei had such acting skills back then, coupled with his crying skills, there would be no Jin Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang had such acting skills that he went to defend the city by himself every day!

Dou Jiande said with emotion: "Empress, His Majesty has come to pick you up in person!"

Empress Xiao sighed softly after hearing this: "Your Majesty, this is to send me off!"

Dou Jiande nodded: "That's right! Queen, His Majesty is coming with a million troops. In two days, I will personally escort you and others out of Xia State!"

Empress Xiao looked confused, and the two of them might not be on the same page.

"Wait, which Majesty?"
