Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Taking the loudspeaker made by Li Tai, Li Zexuan left the workshop and planned to go home and prepare for a trip to the Xuanjia Army Camp tomorrow!

He asked Li Tai to try to make a loudspeaker, not only to lay the foundation for the invention of the telephone in the future, but also to use the loudspeaker in the army!

In ancient times, there was no loudspeaker, let alone a walkie-talkie. Large-scale corps operations often used the golden drum banner to convey the commander's combat instructions. For example, drumming, this is not just for cheering in the cold weapon age war, but for passing orders. You must know that tens of thousands of people form together, and it is not the age of information technology. Being able to control soldiers is the basis of combat. Soldiers who do not understand the golden drum flag of their army will often end up miserably, because they cannot hold the flag and press the button. Those who do not pay the flag, do not enter when they hear the drum, and do not retreat when the gold is heard are generally beheaded.

In fact, regardless of the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of horses in ancient wars, there were not many soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers and civilians accounted for the vast majority. Like the Song Dynasty, there were not many dynasties that raised forbidden troops and raised pigs. In the early Song Dynasty, it was the norm that 200,000 forbidden troops could fight in the south and the north.

In history, the battles of the main army of more than 300,000 were basically more defeats than victories. To name a few examples, the first was the Battle of Feishui, where 830,000 troops were defeated by 80,000 Beifu troops before they could be assembled. Second, the result of Emperor Yang of Sui’s expedition against Goguryeo is self-evident. Third, the battle of Jiujiedu’s siege of Yecheng during the Anshi Rebellion was defeated and lost.

The above is basically a battle in which less wins and more. Although the main reasons for failure are different, it is indeed an unavoidable reason for the poor coordination and communication of large armies in battle. Too many troops are concentrated on the front. Once they are broken, it is extremely easy to cause rout.

Therefore, there are so many battles in the history of our country that the less wins the many, and it is not for nothing. It is mainly an elite army with a small number but flexible command, which allows the generals to exert their full command ability. For example, in the battle of Hulao between Li Er and Dou Jiande in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Er eventually defeated 100,000 enemies with less than 10,000 people.

Therefore, in frontal combat in later generations, it is basically a strategy of contacting both sides to attack together. Although the total number of participants is large, there are rarely more than 50,000 people on a battlefield, because 50,000 people are basically sound and light. Signal propagation is at its limit. Therefore, in ancient times without loudspeakers or walkie-talkies, on the battlefield, the generals relied on the golden drum flag, and on the other hand, they relied on mutual understanding and experience. Whoever implements the combat intention better will win.

But with a loudspeaker it's completely different! This thing can transmit the combat instructions issued by the generals far away, and can maximize the cooperation between the various small corps! In a real large corps battle, the battlefield situation is often complicated, and tactics need to be adjusted at any time. It is simply unrealistic to rely on the golden drum flag to send orders. As for the use of messengers, the timeliness of combat instructions cannot be guaranteed!

Just imagine, if the command of a general is transmitted through a loudspeaker during a war, not only can it be transmitted very far, but the loudspeaker can also transmit more complex combat commands than the golden drum banner!

If you are worried that the combat orders will be heard by the enemy generals, you can set up a complete set of detailed tactical secret orders in advance. In this way, you can not only maximize the tacit understanding between the corps, but also prevent the combat deployment from being heard by the enemy generals. When you arrive, you can even overwhelm the opponent in momentum!

After all, sometimes a loud voice is an advantage, isn't it?

While walking, while planning the application of the loudspeaker in his mind, Li Zexuan suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the sky suddenly darkened at this moment!

Li Zexuan couldn't help but raised his head and looked towards the east sky. He saw small black dots with wings all over the sky, covering the sky and blocking the sun. It was noon and the sun was still in the southwest. The dots are overwhelming, and there is a tendency to cover the entire sky!

Compared to the total solar eclipse two months ago, the sight of the sky being gradually eroded by countless black dots is undoubtedly more terrifying!

"The great locust plague is coming!"

In a flash, Li Zexuan reacted. Isn't this the great locust plague recorded in the history books in June of the second year of Zhenguan?

Although Li Zexuan, a modern person, has seen locusts, he has never seen a locust plague, because people in their era liked to eat fried locusts, and the natural locusts were not enough for foodies, so that people often do business of artificially raising locusts , How could there be a locust plague in that case!

This was the first time he had seen such a large-scale locust plague since his two lives, and he said in his heart that it would be impossible not to be surprised! The dense and overwhelming locusts are definitely a painful torture for those with intensive phobia. Li Zexuan does not have intensive phobia, but after he saw the locusts flying all over the sky and covering the sky, he still endured it. Keep your scalp numb!

Because there are too many locusts in the sky!

When he used his poor historical knowledge to predict to Li Er that there would be a locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, he never thought that the plague of locusts would come so suddenly and so fiercely!

Where is the plague of locusts! This is a bit like those black bugs in some apocalyptic movies that Li Zexuan has seen in his previous life. This is a catastrophe!

Even though today's Tang Dynasty has made perfect preparations for the locust plague, Li Zexuan's heart can't help but shake a little at this moment. Can the preparations made by the Tang Dynasty really survive this big locust plague?

"A plague of locusts! This is a plague of locusts!"

"God descends divine punishment! Heaven descends divine punishment!"

"My God! Old man, my crops!"

"The locust god is furious, the catastrophe of the common people!"

The people who are still working in the fields, see this

After the terrifying catastrophic scene, people couldn't help but panic. Some people panicked and ran to their homes; some grabbed the ground with their heads and wept bitterly;

The calm world just a moment ago was suddenly replaced by a large-scale panic. It's not that people are vulnerable, but the scale of this locust plague is too terrifying!

Li Zexuan estimated that if he caught all the locusts flying on his head, it would be a thousand pounds at least, not to mention that this large sky was full of black locusts!

One can imagine how terrifying this number is!

"Please go home quickly, Lord Hou!"

Pang Feiji and other guards guarded around Li Zexuan as if they were facing the enemy, and waved their swords to drive away some low-flying locusts. Seeing that the people in the surrounding fields were in a mess, Pang Feiji quickly turned his head and shouted at Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan had recovered from the initial shock at this time, and he commanded blankly: "Go to Yunshan! Feiji, you immediately take someone to the county yali to let the county magistrate come over, and give my father and mother me by the way. Madam report safe! In addition, you will invite Uncle Hu, Second Master Liu and Liu Qingfeng over! Immediately! Immediately!"

Pang Feiji turned his head to look at the three brothers beside him, Li Zexuan usually only takes three or four people when he goes out, and today is no exception, so he said urgently to Li Zexuan: "But, after I leave, who will it be? To protect Lord Hou?"

Li Zexuan said very calmly: "Protection? There are only a few locusts in the area, do you still need your protection? The people who really want to protect are the people of Lantian County. Don't talk more, hurry up and return!"

Pang Feiji wanted to say that the panicked people might inadvertently hurt Li Zexuan, but after thinking of Li Zexuan's shocking martial arts, he decisively did not say these words, but clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate obeys the order, and please ask the Marquis. be careful!"

After all, he waved his hand and led one of the guards to the county seat of Lantian County, while the other two guards went to Hanjiazhuang and Meicun separately!

………………………………

"The plague of locusts is here! The plague of locusts is here!"

"My family's crops! It will be harvested in summer in a few days!"

"Run! So many locusts are going to eat people!"

"Run! Run!"

More than 20 prefectures and counties around Chang'an City are in a panic at this moment. Unlike solar eclipses, the destructive power of locust plagues on the world is obvious. In addition, there have been legends of locust gods circulating among the people. scared!

Some people of Zhuangzi even set up an incense table at the head of the village, kneeling on their knees and praying to the locust god to come down quickly and let the locust plague go away!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good! Locusts, all the locusts are overwhelming! The city of Chang'an and the dozens of surrounding counties and counties are all shrouded in locusts that cover the sky and the sun. Wherever the locusts pass, no grass grows!"

The quiet Ganlu Hall suddenly ran in at this time, an eunuch, the news brought by the little eunuch, was no different from a thunder on the ground, and it exploded in the Ganlu Hall!

Li Er suddenly got up from the dragon couch with a snort, and he said with a serious face: "What did you say? A locust plague broke out near Chang'an?"

"Yes...Yes! Your Majesty! Now the people everywhere are running around in terror. The crops that are about to mature in the fields are all covered with dense locusts, and there are many locusts flying in the sky, covering the sky and the sun. what!"

The little eunuch was terrified at the moment, presumably it was the first time in his life that he saw such a terrifying sight!

Li Er's heart froze, and just as he was about to speak, a small eunuch walked in outside the hall, and the eunuch said urgently: "Report~! Your Majesty! The governor of Qizhou is in a hurry! There is a large-scale locust plague in Qizhou, and it is overwhelming. The locusts are flying towards the capital!"

Hearing this, Li Er burst into anger and said, "Damn! These locusts have already arrived in Chang'an City. How did his 800-mile prefect of Qizhou reach the palace in a hurry?"

Zhao Song whispered beside Li Er at this time: "Your Majesty, calm down, Qizhou is more than 1,800 miles away from Chang'an, even if it is 800 miles in a hurry, it will take several days to run! And the source of locusts must be more than Qi. In one state, otherwise there would not be so many locusts!"

Li Er woke up from his rage at this time, he flicked his sleeves, and said solemnly: "Hurry up to the city tower and ring the Jingyang bell, and urgently summon hundreds of officials to enter the court to discuss matters! Today, the afternoon court will be added!"

Just a few hours after the end of the early morning, Lao Li created another afternoon, but this is also impossible. The locust plague is too big, and the six departments of the court must cooperate with each other to effectively fight the disaster!

As for this Jingyang bell, it began in the Southern Dynasties. Emperor Qi Wu placed the bell on the Jingyang Tower because the palace was so deep that he could not hear the sound of the drum leaking. ". The Jingyang bell rings every day, announcing the beginning of the early morning. In subsequent dynasties and generations, Jingyang bells shall prevail.

"Hey~!"

A servant in the hall hurriedly handed over to take orders.

Li Er thought for a while, then looked at Zhao Song again, and instructed: "Zhao Song, go out of the city immediately, go to Lantian County, and invite the Marquis of Yongan into the palace!"

Since last year, Li Zexuan has helped Li Er to solve countless troubles, so that Li Er is now somewhat dependent on Li Zexuan, and when something happens, he will subconsciously think of Li Zexuan!

Of course, on the other hand, it was Li Zexuan who made the prediction of the locust plague last year. As the saying goes, the bell has to be the one who has to solve the bell. Today, the locust plague is coming as scheduled. Of course, Li Zexuan must be invited over to discuss the disaster relief together!

Zhao Song's expression was solemn, and he cupped his hands and said, "Old slave obeys the order!"

After all, he didn't dare to delay any longer, just dodged and walked out of the hall!

"Clang~! Clang~! Clang~!"

After a while, there was a dull and melodious sound of bells and drums on the upper floor of the Imperial City next to the Vermillion Bird Gate, and the huge sound gradually spread throughout the entire Chang'an City!

In Chongrenfang, the eldest grandson Wuji heard the sound of the bell and drums, and couldn't help but change his face, and said, "Come here! Quickly prepare the horse! This old man wants to enter the palace!"

A woman beside Changsun Wuji said strangely: "Master, this morning just finished the morning court, what are you doing in the palace now?"

Zhangsun Wuji explained in a hurry: "Madam, listen! The Jingyang bell rang, indicating that something important happened in the palace. The last time the Jingyang bell rang in the afternoon was the year before!"

The year before last was the ninth year of Wude, the transformation of Xuanwumen!

The lady's expression changed, and she quickly said, "The concubine is changing clothes as a master!"

Zhangsun Wuji nodded, he looked up at the locusts in the sky, and said in a low voice, "The plague of locusts is now in the world, Your Majesty should urgently summon hundreds of officials to the palace to discuss countermeasures!"

…………………………

On the top of Yunshan Mountain, the conference room of Yanhuang Academy.

Li Zexuan sat in the first seat, He County magistrate, Hu Hanyun, Liu Erye, and Liu Qingfeng sat in the lower seat in turn. Somewhat strangely, Li Gang, Yan Siru, Ma Zhou, and Sun Simiao, several gentlemen from Yanhuang Academy were also present!

Li Zexuan's face was as deep as water, and after seeing that everyone had arrived, he said solemnly: "The locust plague is here, and you must have seen it. Some people regard the locust plague as the anger of the locust god. What do you think?"

Old Hu poked his neck and said: "Master, I have little reading, but in my whole life, I have only respected heaven and earth, not ghosts and gods, what kind of bullshit locust god, it harms our crops, we should eliminate it! You said, last year, Lao Hu also ate a few plates of Feihuang Tengda!"

Second Master Liu nodded and said, "Little nonsense is right! Master, the locust plague is very serious now, and the crops in the fields will be ready to be harvested in a few days, but such a large-scale locust plague occurs at this time, Master, if you have any It's a good way to say, as long as the locusts can be killed, I, Liu Wanshan, have nothing to dare to do!"

Liu Qingfeng and He County magistrate are both scholars. They are not as reckless as Liu Erye and Lao Hu. The two of them laughed and said, "Yes! We all listen to Hou Ye!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said with a serious face: "Okay! This marquis doesn't believe in any locust god, even if there is a locust god in this world, he is also an evil god who poisons all living beings, and he can kill them! The next few things I will arrange. You must remember and strictly implement this matter, because this is a major event that affects the life and death of more than 80,000 people in Lantian County!"
