Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

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 Turks would interfere with it after learning about the purpose of the academy people going north, but according to his expectation, the Turks were most likely to be in the Yunzhou started to do it. After all, it is located on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor is far away, but he never expected that the Turks would throw the "king bomb" directly in Taiyuan City. Shouldn't they first test the truth in Taiyuan City, and then Will you launch a "lore" in Yunzhou again?

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

However, Li Zexuan did not expect that his father-in-law would intercept the secret letter of the Turkic spy in a straight-forward manner. This is too critical. If it weren't for the straight-up attack, the current situation of the teachers and students in the academy would only be more passive, and even they even faced themselves I don't know who the right enemy is, let alone deal with it!

Of course, what Li Zexuan did not expect the most was that the spy leader of the Turks 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 biggest traitor in the Tang Dynasty!

But 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 had a good impression of him. Not "qualified", count his actions in the Turks, not only did he not help the Turks, but to some extent, he actually helped the Tang Dynasty!

The TV series "The Reign of Zhenguan", the description of Jie Li's acquisition of Zhao Deyan, is very interesting. Zhao Deyan turned out to be the prefect of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin found that he was good at flattering, but he had no real talent, so he decided to let him harm the Turks.

Li Shimin first removed Zhao Deyan from the position of governor, and then let Zhao Deyan go to the Turks with the Tang delegation. After Zhao Deyan arrived in the Turks, he made a lot of beards and horses, which made the Great Khan of Jieli feel very useful, so he decided to reuse Zhao Deyan. In order to make Zhao Deyan serve Jieli wholeheartedly, Li Shimin also sent Zhao Deyan's family to the Turks.

Due to the limited space in the official history, there is no record of how Jieli Khan got Zhao Deyan. "Zizhitongjian. Volume 192" only records: "Jieli Khan was appointed by the Chinese Zhao Deyan."

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks maintained an absolute advantage over almost any force. In AD 615, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who was still the self-proclaimed emperor through the ages, visited the Yanmen area in the north. The Turkic cavalry who got the news took the opportunity to go south. Along the way, they conquered most of the area around Yanmen. Emperor Yang of Sui was in a rush and hid in Yanmen County for a while. The Turkic army immediately blocked the city and launched a siege. During the fierce battle, the arrows of the Turks once shot to Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who was invincible on weekdays, was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying after facing the battlefield pressure of real swords and real guns. As the Turks' offensive intensified, Yang Guang, who was terrified, cried until his eyes were swollen.

After this war, the prestige of the Eastern Turkic Khanate became stronger and became the overlord of the grasslands of Northeast Asia at that time. When they entered the peak, they expanded their territory to the vast area between the Khitan and Shiwei tribes in the east and between Tuyuhun and Gaochang in the west. The chiefs of the various tribes and the monarchs of the small states were all subordinated to the Eastern Turkic Khans.

After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, the Eastern Turks became even more prosperous. At that time, various warlords in the northern part of the Central Plains had more or less transactions with the Eastern Turkic Khanate. It also includes Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was based in Shanxi. He even made a vassal to the Turks so that he could borrow 500 Turkic cavalry when he attacked Chang'an. Through this fox-fake tiger's mighty means, it puts a lot of pressure on the opponent's heart.

The Eastern Turkic forces are getting stronger and stronger, and they even have the capital to threaten the Tang Dynasty and win the Central Plains, but for the Khan Jieli of the Eastern Turks, he always has a heart problem, he longs to have the supreme power like Li Yuan and Li Er!

When the Turkic forces started, the ruling model was quite simple. The other nobles under the Khan also had considerable power. In their respective tribes, they retained their original customary laws without interference from the Khan. The privilege of life and death that the emperor of the Central Plains had in the country was only a dream for the Turkic khans.

Therefore, Jieli Khan hired Zhao Deyan, a Han Chinese who fled to the grasslands, to carry out drastic political reforms for him. Jie Li hopes to strengthen his power and completely unite the tribes that retain the right to self-government.

Zhao Deyan, who was appointed, also lived up to his mission. He moved the means of governing the world of the Central Plains Dynasty to the grasslands intact. As a result, the Khan carried out a forced "sinicization reform" for the Turks.

At that time, the Central Plains Dynasty had a set of very advanced national management system. For example, three provinces and six ministries, two-level administrative system of prefectures and counties, and so on. This set of systems 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 of Jie Li did not understand this truth, so he gave Zhao Deyan full authority to promote the Turkic administrative reform movement.

But the Turkic tribes have long been accustomed to the simple, crude and effective administrative methods. They had 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 Great Khan of Jieli to suppress the Turkic tribes who opposed the reform. Zhao Deyan's reforms were pushed forward amid many obstacles, which aroused the Turkic people's dissatisfaction with the Great Khan of Jieli.

This incident is recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian. Volume One Hundred and Ninety-two", the original text is: "The German language is dedicated to its prestige, and the old customs are often changed.

Zhao Deyan copied China's administrative methods, complicating simple problems, causing the major Turkic tribes to complain about the Great Khan of Jieli

. With the help of Zhao Deyan, many Turks were reluctant to work for the Great Khan of Jieli. Tribes with conditions and opportunities began to find ways to break away from the control of Jieli, and some even went directly to the Tang Dynasty, for example A few months ago, the leader of the Khitan Department led the tribe to defect to the Tang Dynasty, and a large part of the reason was that Jie Li had already begun to deviate on the grassland!

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

The rolling wheel of history did not change its direction 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, there would be no teachers and students from the academy going north to build a telegraph relay station, and there would be no Turkic spies who ambushed in Taiyuan and captured Li Tai!

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

However, the most unexpected variable for Li Zexuan is that according to the official history, Zhao Deyan should help Jie Li 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 you don't do a good "reform minister", how can this guy become the head of a "spy"?

"Di Di Di Di Di~!"

The beeping sound of the telegraph still kept ringing, Li Zexuan hurriedly retracted his thoughts and continued to listen to the telegram sent by Tie Dan.

This last part of the telegram is mainly about Tie Dan asking him for a plan, about how to rescue Tie Dan!

"Master, when Qing Que was taken away, let me find you. He said that you must have a way to save him, and he also asked Master to give him a plan! Even if I go through fire and water, I must rescue Qing Que!"

Seeing Tie Dan's last sentence, 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 juncture, but the firm tone in Tie Dan's words made him His heart tightened. Obviously, Tie Dan blamed most of the responsibility for Li Tai's arrest on himself. In order to rescue Li Tai, he seemed to be completely disregarding his own safety!

Li Zexuan didn't want Li Tai to have an accident, but he also didn't want Tie Dan to have an accident. One of these two children is one of his most proud students, who has won most of his true inheritance, and the other is his direct disciple, plus his brother-in-law. It is difficult for him to accept any accident. After taking a deep breath, Li Zexuan controlled the telegraph and replied to Tie Dan:

"Master has already anticipated what happened tonight. You should have a good rest first. Don't act rashly. The rescue matters have already been arranged for Master, and Qingque will be fine~!"
