Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 85
"This is good! This is good! What kind of compulsory military system you have, I think it is feasible! Later, I will let people build watchtowers on the border. With your binoculars, I can predict the enemy first, and add bicycles to help. Most of the troops can be used for other things!"

Zuo Ming spoke vigorously, and Li Shimin was quite delighted to hear it.

The original dissatisfaction caused by Zuo Ming's delay in advancing the Feitian project disappeared in an instant.

This bike is not necessarily worse than a hot air balloon!
However, if bicycles are used in the military, it is bound to be unable to be extended to the public.Because this thing is not difficult to make, if it is not for the high requirements of Zuo Ming, in fact, it can be completed by preparing some iron smelting.

Of course, ordinary people can't use bicycles, but Zuo Ming's family is an exception. Anyway, Zuo Ming's family is protected by royal secret guards now, so there is no need to worry about their bicycles being snatched away.

With bicycles, Hu Ke and Lian Er felt a lot easier whether they were going to the Anle Grand Theater or going home.However, it took a lot of effort for the two girls to practice riding this bicycle.

Zuo Ming is very happy to teach the two girls to ride a bicycle, because in this way, he can eat the tofu from his wives in a fair manner.

Although they are already old couples, but taking advantage of bicycles is still a special flavor.

However, Zuo Ming had a great time with his two wives, but an unexpected guest broke the peace of his house.

This person is none other than Niqiong who left Zuo Ming with an indelible trauma.

"What else are you here for? Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous, and Zuo Ming said angrily immediately.And as his voice fell, Shen Ding appeared beside Zuo Ming holding a beautiful long sword.

This guy Shen Ding has taken advantage of that guy Li Zhi recently, and this sword alone is enough for him to show off for a long time.

"Master Hou! I ask you, my lord, to have a lot of offenses in the past, and don't care about the little girl! The reason why the little girl was like that back then was because you really irritated me a lot.

To be honest, thinking about it afterwards, Niqiong regretted it a little!

Hou Ye can have such extraordinary abilities, he is already a god-like existence, Niqiong really regrets that he didn't follow Hou Ye's suggestion immediately!Now that Zhang Zhung is dead, I only hope that Lord Hou can show his grace and take good care of those Zhang Zhung survivors in Xirong Road."

Niqiong is really regretful, because of her distrust of Zuo Ming, she has ruined the entire Zhang Zhung Kingdom.Now think about it, where is the monster in Zuo Ming?It is clearly the divine auspiciousness bestowed on Datang by God!

From the birth of quilts, sweet potatoes, glass and other things, plus the royal family's attitude towards Zuo Ming, all of these have already said that Zuo Ming is extraordinary.I just hate that her vision was too narrow and her family's views were too serious, which caused the tragedy of Xiangxiong.

"The people of your Xiangxiong Kingdom are blessed by the Buddha, when will it be my turn to worry about it?"

Zuo Ming smiled coldly.

"Niqiong thought the same way before, but now Niqiong no longer believes in the gods! Because the gods have abandoned us Zhang Zhung! Master Zuo, please take pity on us homeless people! We ask There are not many, I just want to live with the aborigines of Xirong Road on an equal footing. As long as you can let them live a life of food and clothing, from now on, you will be the new god of my Zhangxiong clan!"

With a pleading face, Niqiong fell to his knees on the ground.

"What? Don't your people have a good time in Xirong Road?"

Hearing the problem, Zuo Ming frowned and said.

"The residents of Xirong Road didn't do anything to us, but they were too repulsive to us, thinking that we were spies sent by Tubo, and they didn't let us enter the market, even the daily exchanges were extremely dull. You may not believe it, they don’t even have a decent quilt until now! If it’s just the Han people, we can accept it, but those Tibetans are so hostile and vigilant to their compatriots and sisters, Zuo Hou Ye, Didn't you promise to give us equal treatment? Why do you want to treat us Zhang Zhung separately?"

Speaking with bitterness on his face, Niqiong asked Zuo Ming.

"Ma Zhou is very vigilant!"

Knowing that this should be what Ma Zhou meant, Zuo Ming smiled wryly, but then he changed his tone and said to Niqiong, "I already know your request! Go back! Soon, I will let the officials of Xirong Road Lift the blockade for you new immigrants, let you mix with those Tuyuhun people.

However, in the future, you'd better not mention the word "Xiang Zhuong" in front of others, otherwise, being discriminated against or receiving special treatment is none of my business. "

Hearing this, Niqiong immediately bowed with joy, "Don't worry, Lord Hou! From now on, you will be our god! Zhang Zhung is a thing of the past! We will regard ourselves as people from Tang Dynasty!"

After speaking, Niqiong simply got up and left.

This woman's kung fu is really good, like a butterfly, it disappeared into the distance after a few flips.

"How is it? How sure are you of winning her in a head-on battle?"

After Niqiong left, Zuo Ming asked Shen Ding.Now when he saw Niqiong, his scalp felt numb, so he wanted to ask Shen Ding if he could keep him at the critical moment.

"Master Hou is interested in that chick? This chick really wants to have a figure and a good appearance. If you want it, Shen Ding will catch her back for you!"

After hearing Zuo Ming's question, Shen Ding suddenly lost his mind and said winkingly.

"Go away! There are so many beautiful women around me, so you can be so impatient! But you, who have been single for so long, should start a family. Look at Wu Dazhu, who has been hooking up with Xiao Taohong for who knows how long! "

Zuo Ming glanced angrily and said.

"Let's talk! If Lord Hou has nothing else to do, Shen Ding will leave first. His Royal Highness King Jin is still waiting for Shen Ding!"

With a flicker of expression, Shen Ding bid farewell and left.

It's not that he hasn't thought about starting a family, there are so many beauties in Zuofu, and he can't help them to associate with other men, but he knows about his affairs.Although more than a year has passed, the scene where the whole family was killed still resurfaces in his mind from time to time.

He was really scared, he was afraid that such a scene would happen again.Instead, he would rather not have a family anymore, so as not to harm others.

Zuo Ming naturally knew where Shen Ding's heart was. After getting along during this period of time, he could see Shen Ding's changes. It's just that he had no way to deal with this kind of psychological disease.

After sighing deeply, Zuo Ming stayed with the two daughters-in-law for a while again, and then went to Yong'an County Wharf.

He originally wanted to check the progress of his ship, but when he arrived at the shipyard, he heard a loud noise.

He hurried into the dock, but the scene he entered made Zuo Ming's complexion suddenly change!
At this time, in the dock, the row of pillars that originally supported the ship had collapsed, and the ships that were almost completed on it also lay reclined on the ground, most of which were damaged.

"How is this going?"

Zuo Ming was furious and grabbed someone and asked.

Right now Li Shimin is about to use troops against Japan, but his shipyard has such a sudden change, which is really too bad.

"Hou Hou! I don't know! I heard from the foreman that everything was fine just now. When they went up to place the fort, the support suddenly broke. I really don't know what happened!"

The man said with a sad face.

"How long will it take to fix these ships?"

Hearing this, Zuo Ming's face suddenly became extremely dark.This is by no means an accident. If it were an accident, it is impossible for all the supports to collapse!However, now is definitely not the time to pursue.

"According to this situation, I'm afraid it won't be repaired in a month!"

The man smiled bitterly.

Zuo Ming's face turned livid again.It will take a month to repair it, and at least half a month to test it before launching it into the water for a sea trial!
However, the date of Li Shimin's dispatch of troops was set in mid-April, and the time was too late!

There was no other way, Zuo Ming had no choice but to hurry back to the palace and explain the details to Li Shimin.

For Zuo Ming, a frequent visitor to the palace, the guards in the palace did not even have to investigate, so he soon saw Li Shimin again.

At this time, Li Shimin was holding the newborn princess of Empress Changsun, humming the nursery rhyme Zuo Ming taught him.

Seeing Zuo Ming's face livid, he couldn't help being curious, "What's wrong today? Why is your face so stinky? But the pheasant slave got into trouble again?"

"Your Majesty! There is an accident at the shipyard! All the ships have been damaged, and it will take at least a month to repair them! The day of dispatching troops may have to be postponed!"

Zuo Ming didn't have time to joke with Li Shimin, so he did it straight away.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, but then he became furious, "Postponement! You thought it was just playing tricks! Do you know how long I have been preparing for this battle? What is going on? Why did you suddenly All ships in between were destroyed!"

"Weichen doesn't know, but the problem seems to be in the brackets! According to the person on duty, those brackets suddenly broke when they went on board to install the turret."

Zuo Ming said with a sullen face.

Come here, Li Shimin also calmed down slowly, "You mean artificial?"

"Not necessarily! It may be the material problem of the bracket, but man-made is not ruled out!"

Shaking his head, Zuo Ming didn't dare to talk too much, otherwise with Li Shimin's temper, there would definitely be a bloodbath at the shipyard.

"I just said, you are too weak in doing things! Now all ghosts and snakes dare to mess with your door! You should investigate this matter carefully for me, find out who did it, and I will destroy him all over the house! In addition, the ship's Don't worry about things, I'll just use the warships from the Jiangnan Shipyard. Although their ships are not as strong as yours, they still have a second deck that can mount forts! Step back!"

Said with a gloomy face, Li Shimin waved his hand at Zuo Ming irritably.

This time, Zuo Ming really let him down too much.
