Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Linyi, a village in the north of Xianglin City (after Hue, Da Nang, Vietnam).

"Mr. Shi, I bought it." A young man ran all the way into the village. Several young people at the entrance of the village looked around vigilantly to make sure that no one was following them, and then let the young man in.

The old man immediately took what the young man took out from his arms. It was a newspaper. If there were people in Chang'an here, they would recognize it immediately. It was "Da Tang Weekly"!But it is the Guangzhou version!

"Old Shi, is there any news from His Highness? What did His Highness say?"

"That's right, Mr. Shi, has His Highness come here?"

"When will Your Highness fight Lin Yi?"

Several young people around gathered around.

This old man who looked to be in his 50s glanced at the young people around him, and then said: "Your Highness has come to Lingnan, but it didn't say that His Highness is going to fight Linyi, but we must remember some of His Highness's words. Now the Central Plains Once again unified, the Great Tang is so powerful, Lin Yi Wang Fan Fenzhi pays tribute year after year, our journey home is not far away!"

"But Mr. Shi, now the king of Linyi keeps forcing us to salvage pearls for him and capture all kinds of rare wild animals. Last year, more than a dozen people in our village died, all of whom died from diving. If this continues, wait until Datang comes over. We're dead, I think we might as well do it!"

"Yes! Let's do it. His Royal Highness Qin Wang is right. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. His Highness also said that the people are the foundation of the country. The Tang Dynasty also established the Datang National Martyrs Cemetery. His Royal Highness Qin Wang is setting off unprecedented changes in the Tang Dynasty. We It’s time for these Han people to return to the orthodoxy of the Central Plains! His Highness once said that business has no national boundaries, but businessmen have national boundaries. Although we are not businessmen, we are Han Chinese! We are Chinese! We are people from the Central Plains!”

"Since the establishment of Xianglin County in Rinan County during the Han Dynasty, it was called Xianglin City. Our ancestors migrated from the Central Plains to this place. We wanted to live a good life. Changed the character of Xianglinyi, and called himself the king of Linyi."

"Hundreds of years have passed, but we have never forgotten our identity. We are Han people in the Central Plains."

"And now, the king of Linyi is getting more and more excessive, and the tax is increasing again and again. If this is the case, how long will we be enslaved?" Another young man in his 20s said with a serious face.

"But people die in war!" Shi Lao looked at the young people around him and said with a wry smile.

"We know, but His Royal Highness said in the call to action against Tuyuhun that we, regardless of seniority or inferiority, or seniority or inferiority, will work together to conquer the top of the plateau, conquer the land of the barbarians, and destroy The cave of the Japanese slaves, to fight against the bandits who deceived me, and to kill the barbarians! Then the sea will flow, and I will stand upright! Let the corpses cover the frontiers, and only the spirit can rely on!"

"The big deal is that the corpse is shrouded in horse leather, and the corpse covers the border fields! But I wait for the blood not for other things, but to protect my children and grandchildren, so that they will not be oppressed!"

"If I die in battle! We are willing to exchange blood for Datang's attention to this land, at least our descendants will not be oppressed by them again! This place will return to the embrace of Datang!" The young man said firmly opened the mouth.

"Shi Lang! Do you know that what you are responsible for now is not your own life, but the lives of thousands of people!" Shi Lao looked at him and asked with a serious face.

"I know! I believe they all know it too, but we don't want to endure it any longer. Rather than being bullied to death, it's better to live vigorously! Maybe after many years when this land returns to the Tang Dynasty, we can still be called martyrs." Shi Lang said with a smile.

"Then why don't you contact His Highness?" Elder Shi hesitated and asked.

"Grandpa, no, we are still from Linyi, not Datang!" Shi Lang shook his head, "But we have the spirit of His Highness to guide us! We will definitely win."

Mr. Shi gave a wry smile, he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "How many people have you contacted now?"

"The villages we can contact can now find at least a team of 1000 people. We have also stored enough weapons, such as spears, bows and arrows. We lack some armor, but we also have some rattan armor!" Shi Lang took a deep breath. Said, "Although our strength is behind, we are a sneak attack. As long as we can make meritorious deeds in one fell swoop, we have the possibility of success."

"Where do you want to attack first?"

"Assault directly on the king's capital. The main force of Linyi is concentrated near the king's capital. If we capture Xianglin City, then the other soldiers will not be a concern. I believe many of them are not really for the king of Linyi. What's more, Xianglin City's city walls are almost non-existent, which is easy for us to break through." Shi Lang said softly.

"But you know, good attack also means bad defense." Shi Lao said softly.

"So, Grandpa, we have something to ask you." Shi Lang said seriously.

"You said."

"We hope you can go to the border between Linyi and Datang. If we take Xianglin City, I will send someone to inform you immediately. Please tell the defenders of Datang that we are willing to join Datang, and we will work hard to defend Xianglin If we fail, Grandpa, you can go back to Datang, Datang does not exclude the residents of Linyi from returning to Datang, and the king of Linyi dare not enter Datang." Shi Lang said softly.

Elder Shi was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly and didn't know what to say.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"I figured it out."

"Then go ahead, I will organize the villagers in these villages." Elder Shi took a deep breath and said. "But be careful in everything, and be careful not to let the news out."

"Yes!"

……

A huge fleet is heading to Linyi, Luzon Island has been handed over to Feng An, and Li Ke doesn't have to worry about the rest, there are basically no enemies there, and the enemies are all handed over to Monobe Village, Li Ke is stunned In about seven or eight days, I went directly to Linyi.

The reason why I stayed for so long is to see the results of Monobe Murashita, but I have to say that many of the characteristics of the Wa people are inherited. As a qualified thug, Monobe Murashita has done a good job.

Sitting on the boat, Li Ke was looking at the information about Lin Yi compiled by Li Dai.

Linyi is not big, there are less than 5000 soldiers in the whole country, and there are only [-] soldiers who can fight, including [-] elite elephant soldiers. This is the characteristic of Linyi.As for other weapons and armor.According to records, the king's bodyguards consisted of [-] soldiers, capable of using crossbows and bows, using rattan as armor and bamboo as bows, and fighting on elephants (Old Book of Tang).

These are the guards of Fan Fenzhi, the king of Linyi, but to be honest, with just this few soldiers, the ships that Li Ke is bringing now can destroy them. As for the elephant soldiers... it's just a joke.

At least for Li Ke, there are not too many ways to deal with elephant soldiers.
