My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 150: Li Yin's worries

?? (On the shelves, please order first!)

??Here in Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, Li Yin was very proud. In the blink of an eye, he was earning tens of millions of dollars, but what he gained was bound to be lost. Before he was happy for a long time, Xue Rengui rushed back from Songzhou, bringing him a headache.

"After the last general arrived in Songzhou, eight out of ten of the original guards were removed before handing over, leaving only some local generals. Now the soldiers are talking a lot and have no intention of defending. Tuyuhun seems to have learned about the Songzhou defenders. The changes in the border continue to harass the border." Xue Rengui bowed.

??Qin Huaiyu said angrily: "This must be the idea of ??those courtiers again, it's too deceiving!"

?? Li Yin remained silent. After he accepted the Chengdu Mansion, military affairs became his top priority. After all, he was responsible for guarding the border. If something went wrong, Li Shimin would not be able to protect him, and could only punish him.

"Qin Huaiyu, you immediately take the Yizhou government soldiers to Songzhou, and at the same time, order other state government soldiers to dispatch troops and horses to meet in Songzhou. When you pass by Mianzhou, you go to visit Captain Niu Jinda to find out what he means. , and ask him if he is willing to stay and help this king?"

?? "Yes, Your Highness!" Qin Huaiyu was impatient and wanted to leave after speaking.

?? "Wait, why are you so impatient." Li Yin called to stop him.

??Qin Huaiyu turned around and asked doubtfully, "What else can your Highness order?"

?? Li Yin said to Jin Daqian, "Go and get the weapons from Iron and Steel Workshop."

?? "Yes!" Jin Daqian replied, turned and left, after a while the three servants entered the front hall with a weapon each.

??The leader of the servants was holding a silver spear with the body and blade integrated into one. The tip of the gun is like an upside-down pyramid, shaped like a Mitsubishi thorn. The blade of the gun gleamed coldly.

??When Qin Huaiyu saw the spear, his eyes straightened, and he walked up to the servant as if he had lost his soul, and touched the spear as if stroking the body of "qing ren", "Your Highness, is this for me?"

?? "Of course, who else knows how to use a gun here?" Qin Huaiyu's reaction was expected by Li Yin. This fine steel spear was carefully crafted by Li Yin at the blacksmith's shop, and the materials and craftsmanship are impeccable.

??Qin Huaiyu took the spear from the servant and tried it in his hand. Danced a few times on the spot, the movements were fast and fierce, definitely not the airs of the modern society, after finishing the set, Qin Huaiyu laughed and said: "It's just right, thank you Your Highness!"

??Li Yin said: "This is called the Longdan Liangyin Spear. It is named after Zhao Yun, the general of the Five Tigers of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. I hope you can be the same as Zhao Yun, and be able to protect and expand the territory of Chengdu."

??Qin Huaiyu was moved, he did not expect Li Yin to have such great expectations of him, and said: "Your Highness, Huaiyu stationed in Songzhou is better than letting a Tuyuhun soldier set foot on our Tang land."

??Li Yin nodded slightly. Then he asked the two servants to bring over their respective weapons, "These are two weapons cast together with the gentian silver spear, and they are both horizontal knives." Li Yin took one and brought it to Xue Rengui, "This is for you. , I hope you can protect and expand the territory of Chengdu Prefecture like Qin Huaiyu."

?? "Your Highness. This... Rengui has not made an inch of merit since he arrived in Yizhou, how can he receive this precious sword?" Xue Rengui looked embarrassed.

??Li Yin smiled and said: "This king gave you this knife. It is to encourage you to sharpen your sword and make plum blossoms come from bitter cold. This king believes that you will become a generation of famous generals."

?? Xue Rengui's eyes became hot, and his knees touched the ground, saying: "Thanks to His Highness's appreciation, Xue Rengui will never die, so he will be His Highness' dog horse."

??Li Yin helped Xue Rengui up, "With your words, why would this king be willing to kill you?"

??Qin Huaiyu also smiled and said: "Rengui, I have been negligent before, please forgive me, from now on, you and I are brothers, how about it?"

?? "It's an honor!" Xue Rengui cupped his hands.

?? After finishing speaking, both of them laughed. Qin Huaiyu looked at the second knife and asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, who is this horizontal knife for?"

?? "It's for the person you're going to visit."

?? "General Niu?"

Li Yin said: "That's right, Niu Jinda is a veteran of the Qin family. He is deeply trusted by his father, and he has an upright personality. He doesn't like to cling to the powerful. It is precisely because of this that he was transferred to Mianzhou. When you go to see him, don't mention that he works for the king. If you say that Songzhou is short of generals, you are ordered to send him to Songzhou, and at the same time give him this horizontal knife, he will understand my king's intentions."

?? "Yes!" Qin Huaiyu still respects Niu Jinda very much. Once Niu Jinda, Qin Shubao, and Cheng Yaojin worked for Wang Shichong, and then the three of them left Wang Shichong to work for Li Shimin. They are considered to be Qin Huaiyu's uncles.

?? Li Yin asked Qin Huaiyu to go to let Niu Jinda take care of his friendship with Qin Shubao, and he was able to go to Songzhou to guard the southwestern gateway of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how Qin Huaiyu and Xue Rengui have never been on the battlefield, Li Yin can rest assured that he is a veteran with him.

?? The two took orders to leave, and Li Yin suddenly felt that there was a real shortage of talents around him, and he felt more and more that it was really necessary to build this military academy.

At the same time, Li Yin also deeply lamented that Changsun Wuji is really an old fox, and that the duty of guarding the border is really a poisonous strategy. The reason why the Tang Dynasty was so poor in the early years of Zhenguan was because of the continuous use of soldiers. You have to eat food, which means you can only go out but not in. Of course, you are poor.

The responsibility of guarding the border was placed on Li Yin, and the court had a lot of expenses left, but this important task was placed on Li Yin, and Li Yin had to be recruited to guard the border as soon as he came, and he had to feed these soldiers. This will undoubtedly affect the development of Chengdu Mansion, but if Li Yin is an ordinary person, it will be really over, but Li Yin is obviously not.

??After Qin Huaiyu left, Su Morer walked in and put a few pieces of paper in front of Li Yin.

?? "Your Highness, these are the recently collected information, do you want to have a look at it?" Su Mo'er said.

After Su Morer came back, this was the first time to report intelligence information to him. Li Yin took it over and looked at it. It recorded what some secret workers did in Yizhou on weekdays, and what some Chang'an officials were doing. Li Shimin , the news of Li Ke and other princes are all on the top, Li Yin looked down, and there was even what Cui Yingying did and who she had contact with.

?? Li Yin's forehead was sweating. Apart from him, there was basically everything that should be there, even the news of the feud between Cui Zhang and Dou Xiande.

?? "Ahem, Mo'er, this Cui Yingying doesn't need to be watched!" Li Yin said.

??Su Mo'er smiled lightly and said, "Is it out of selfishness or publicity, Your Highness?"

?? "This Cui Yingying is the princess, and the consort of husband and wife should not be detrimental to the king." Li Yin defended his decision.

?? "Your Highness!" Su More said seriously: "Mo'er's duty is to eliminate all potential threats for His Highness, and Mo'er will not trust anyone."

Li Yin knew that this was right, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Okay." Then he continued to read the following information, when he saw that Li Chengqian had invited a wandering Taoist priest to refine the elixir for Li Shimin, he was stunned. I was taken aback.

"Where did this Taoist priest come from?" Li Yin frowned. Li Shimin was obsessed with alchemy and took pills, but this ancient pill was no different from poison. Li Yin seriously suspected that Li Shimin died at the age of fifty-two. The drop has a lot to do with this elixir.

Su Mo'er said: "It is said that the prince went hunting and met him. It is rumored that when the prince met this Taoist priest, auspiciousness fell from the sky. The Taoist priest revealed Li Chengqian's identity in one word. The prince thought he was a god, so he invited him back. The East Palace was recommended to Li Shimin the next day, and after entering the palace, this Taoist gave Empress Changsun a golden pill, and Empress Changsun’s condition has recovered by half." When he said that, Su Mo'er's eyes showed fascination color.

??Tang Dynasty believed in Taoism, from the emperor to Liming, they all respected Taoism very much. It is not surprising that Su Morer has such an expression.

??Li Yin has no prejudice against Taoism, and also likes the Taoist philosophy of quietness and inaction, but he has no feelings for this elixir. This gunpowder is a by-product of alchemy, but can this gunpowder be eaten? But Empress Changsun actually recovered after taking the Taoist's elixir, which surprised Li Yin.

?? "It is said that after this incident, His Majesty respected this Taoist priest very much, and rewarded the prince with a lot of money and silk."

??Su Moer said this, the more haze in Li Yin's heart, he always felt that something was wrong about this matter, but he couldn't remember what was wrong, but he knew that it was definitely not a good thing to have this Taoist priest by Li Shimin's side.
