Everything is going according to the script step by step. The script designed by Suning has no problems in theory or practice. According to the original idea, Issam became a hero, an undisputed hero, and the army was retreating steadily. With no tomorrow in sight, Issam appeared alone in front of the Tang army. With his fearless courage, sharp tongue and loyalty to the country, he persuaded the Tang army to retreat and allowed the Tang army to retreat. The Tang army returned all the territory, and the Tang army was even impressed - otherwise, why would Issam be designated as the only contact person? Issam became a hero within the entire Persian court, and those advisers who escaped from the battle became standard bears. Soon, the wall fell and everyone pushed down, and the trees fell and the hozens scattered. The court officials who smelled the standard began their final plan. The action he is good at - confusing right and wrong. For a time, the advisory group that used to be touted as "loyal to the emperor, patriotic" and "diligent" was quickly changed its image and became a traitorous group. Issam, who had always been ridiculed as a "good guy" , was instantly hailed as a hero by everyone, and everyone unanimously asked Issam to serve as the chief consultant of the advisory group. The little emperor was very satisfied. In addition, he also felt uneasy about using Isam to save the face of the Persian Empire. After all, Isam was his minister since childhood. He sacrificed Isam for the sake of face. He also felt that it was in his heart. I feel very guilty. I was just confused by the words of seven or eight consultants and admitted this fact. Now the faces of these consultants are exposed. When I need help the most, they all ran away without exception Stay on your own There was only Isam beside him, only the abandoned son Isam. Riding alone, in the most critical situation, he stood in front of the invading troops of the Tang Dynasty, even at the expense of his own life. He fought with the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty, and finally impressed the people of the Tang Dynasty with his personal charm and strong courage, and finally retreated. Although he lost more than 100,000 people, the country was intact, although he had to pay a sum of money. But the country is intact. Although it is a bit embarrassing, the country is intact. As a result, when Issam returned to the court to take up his post, exhausted and dusty, the little emperor burst into tears and immediately appointed Issam as the chief advisor of the Persian Empire Advisory Group. From now on, all government affairs will be transferred to Isam will handle it, and only when Isam can't handle it, he will report to himself, internal affairs, foreign affairs and military affairs. Everything must comply with Issam's will. Anyone who questions Issam's actions will be regarded as treason and then executed. Only Isam treats me sincerely, and he is the only one who is sincerely doing it for my own good. No one else can be trusted! After this incident, the little emperor's heart has changed, and he no longer trusts anyone else. He only trusts Issam now, and he gives Issam the highest official position and the greatest power. Everything must be discussed with Issam. Issam was very modest and did not want military power. He only wanted to manage government affairs and diplomacy. The little emperor repeatedly asked to hand over military power to Issam, but Issam refused to accept it. The little emperor felt that Very helpless. I had no choice but to order that every time a military operation was to be carried out, Issam must be consulted before making a decision. Isam performed a play perfectly according to Suning's script, lines and costumes, and successfully got everything he should get. Suning told him clearly. As long as he does what he says, he will definitely become the number one person in the Manchu Dynasty without worrying about being jealous of the emperor. Of course, military power is definitely not acceptable, as long as political power and diplomatic management are enough, and you are still appointed by the Tang Dynasty Contact person means that you only accept the political power. The emperor may be embarrassed. Although you do not directly control the military, you are almost there. This is an unexpected gain. This time the storm has not passed yet. You can still enjoy the flattery of officials for a long time. However, you have to Note that you are just some noble officials, and many Persian people who know the inside story will hate you. You must improve your situation and reputation through your own governance. You understand the specific reasons. For the treatment of those who fled eastward, the reorganization of the army, the improvement of corvee military service, and the restoration of production, you'd better do it now, lest the Tang Dynasty take over a devastated territory. and the hungry masses, when the time is right, you will definitely be defeated by the other officials. What you have done has violated their fundamental interests. At that time, the Persian collapse plan officially begins. You must fully cooperate with the Tang Dynasty's actions, voluntarily give up resistance, promote the rage of the people who love you, and then promote an uprising and ignite the beacon of resistance. By that time, the Tang army will Under the appropriate banner, help the Persians resist the rule of the Sassanid Dynasty. Then, as the only spiritual sustenance of the Persian people, you must declare your surrender to the Tang Dynasty and become a subject of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty will declare you the governor of the Persian District. This plan will be completed. More than half of it. ? ?As for the rest, it will have to wait until a few years later and cannot be considered now. In short, if you do as I say, you will reach the top of your life. Everyone will regard you as the savior, and you will get everything. With the respect and love of the Persian people, your life will become brighter. Are you still a little excited? Issam smiled bitterly. He finally understood where he and Persia lost. Their opponents were too powerful and were not on the same level of power. He even had reason to believe that the collapse of the Roman Empire, which had a rich history, would only happen in the 20s. During the years, it was only a matter of time before the Tang Empire became the real master of this vast territory. When Issam was thinking about these things, Suning was also thinking about some issues. Since ancient times, there have been quite a lot of great empires with huge territories and large populations, but their rule cannot last long without exception. For example, if they are representative The Alexander Empire and the Mongol Empire were large empires spanning tens of millions of square kilometers across the Eurasian continent. However, they split and disappeared in just more than ten years. The empire was very powerful, had a strong military, and had no problems with its rule. Why? Will it split? Judging from the split of the Mongol Empire into several khanates and the Yuan Dynasty of China, the transportation problem was an insurmountable serious problem. There was no problem with governance, no problem with the military, and no problem with the economy. However, the Mongol Empire, which was prosperous for a while, still collapsed. . What is the fundamental reason for the split? The territory is too huge, and the transportation technology is not up to standard. As a result, the emperor's decrees cannot be conveyed to the place where they are supposed to go for more than half a year. The rule is simply unsustainable. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if you rebelled, you wouldn't know it, so it would naturally collapse and split into several khanates and orthodox dynasties. The transportation technology was not up to par, and the territory was too huge. This is the end. Compared with the British Empire, which relied on the navy and ships as the basic force to maintain its rule, the arrival of the industrial revolution has led to explosive development of transportation technology. The direct consequence of this development is that the speed of transportation has qualitatively improved. leap. In the early days, when communication technology had not yet matured, the British Empire relied on naval power and steam engines to maintain its rule as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets." The Mongol Empire did not have steam engines, so it collapsed. The British Empire had steam engines, so it succeeded. Once upon a time, the Qin Empire unified the world. Taking into account the importance of transportation issues to governance, the "Chidao" was established. That was already the strongest technical capability of that era, but now, the territory of the Tang Dynasty far exceeds the territory of the Qin Dynasty, so the problem of difficult governance has become prominent, and this kind of problem, 1.2 million war horses and 58 articles Chidao cannot completely solve it yet. The issue of "speeding up transportation" that had been raised during the period of His Majesty Li Er was mentioned again during Li Chengqian's Chenghe period. Fang Xuanling took the lead in reporting the difficulty of notification caused by traffic problems, the Minister of Industry took the lead in researching the difficulty of new means of transportation, and King Li Tai of Wei took the lead in saying the feasibility of developing new means of transportation using gunpowder as the basic resource Everyone regarded it as Attention focused on Li Tai, the Lord of Gunpowder. After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, Li Tai's status was further consolidated. Li Chengqian formally established the Weapons Research Institute, with Li Tai as the director, in charge of all firearms research and development matters. When Li Tai heard that the Minister of Industry and Industry said that it was difficult to increase the speed of existing transportation vehicles and that it was also difficult to develop transportation vehicles, he took the initiative to express , using gunpowder as raw material to develop a "super vehicle that can fire as fast as a cannon." Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this and rewarded Li Tai with countless money and goods. When Suning heard about it, he was scared to death. Is he planning to skip the steam engine and electric motor and directly enter the rocket age? Or do you plan to take a big step and run directly into the era of atomic collider? Suning didn't know whether Li Tai had such an idea or because Suning used gunpowder as raw material to make fireworks to celebrate the festival. He was inspired by the fireworks, and for Li Chengqian's simple request for speed, he thought of the impact caused by the explosion of gunpowder. The huge driving force that comes, but it just ignores the terrifying and destructive power behind such driving force. But Li Tai could think of this, and Suning was very surprised. Although this was impossible, it was a great hypothesis. The idea of ??rockets was proposed by Li Tai in the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century AD. What a great idea. A great initiative? Li Tai's name will definitely be engraved on the history of China's science and technology development. Rockets are impossible and unrealistic, but Suning is not going to pour cold water on Li Tai. After mobilizing 100,000 troops to resolve the Persian incident, Suning rushed back to Chang'an City, met Li Tai directly, and told him to use gunpowder as raw materials. When making a vehicle, you have to consider how to avoid explosions and simply use propulsion, but this is impossible. The reason why gunpowder has propulsion is because it explodes! And explosions can destroy even iron blocks, let alone vehicles Li Tai expressed regret that he had ignored such an important issue. Gunpowder will explode. If it does not explode, the driving force is not enough. How to generate enough power? This is obviously unrealistic, but just when Li Tai was depressed, Suning put forward an important point - when gunpowder explodes, it will produce high temperature and smoke, and we will feel the hot air waves, which seems to be very powerful. , and this feeling seems to be the same as when water vapor hits your face when boiling hot water! Li Tai quickly conducted experiments and found that when the water was boiled, hot water vapor would spurt out. If the lid was not opened, the water vapor would surge up until the lid was pushed open. This force seemed to increase as the water vapor increased. The more you get, the stronger and more valuable it becomes, and more importantly, it won't explode! It seemed that Li Tai had some clues. He drove Suning out of his experimental base in deep thought. Suning sighed and finally brought Li Tai's research back from the rocket age to the steam age, allowing Li Tai to lead the world correctly. The development of science and technology in the Tang Dynasty did not lead to the early birth of rockets due to the early birth of gunpowder However, at this important juncture, something happened suddenly in Sanyuan County on the outskirts of Chang'an City that shocked the entire Tang Dynasty. Although this incident was very big and shocking, it did not change the direction of the entire Datang Empire. The Datang Empire still prospered and reached its peak step by step, but this incident changed Suning forever. The direction of human beings, at least this is what Suning thinks when he looks back decades later. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
