Now the Kingpin is powerful and has occupied many areas in the north. Its territory has extended south to the vicinity of Zhending Prefecture, and further south, it is pointing directly at Kaifeng.
It was only three to five years before the fall of the Northern Song.
Ling Yi spent half a day flying across the Northern Song, passing through Eastern Capital Kaifeng), and finally landing outside Zhending Prefecture.
The Space-Time Gate opened again, returning them directly to the Great Tang Dynasty era.
Li Shimin was no longer in the villa at this moment; he had probably gone to prepare troops for Ling Yi.
The reason for returning to the Great Tang was that Ling Yi needed to reset the location of the Space-Time Gate.
You can't exactly let 5,000 soldiers into your villa and then Teleport Gate to the Great Song, can you?
Therefore, this Teleport Gate must be placed in an open area.
Just then, Master Zhang came running over excitedly, waving the blueprints in his hand at Ling Yi, saying, "Sir, this is the mechanical iron man I designed. Please take a look and see if there are any areas that need improvement."
Since Li Shimin hadn't sent any troops yet, and Ling Yi was Bored, he took a look at it.
The more he looked, the stranger Ling Yi's expression became. Good heavens, it really was something else.
Ling Yi had to admit that Master Zhang's design ideas went beyond just being imaginative; they were simply off the charts.
Humanity can no longer tolerate you, is that it?
Is this behemoth, tens of meters tall, a punk-style Transformers?
"Are you sure the steam engine can power this behemoth?" Ling Yi asked.
"Sir, didn't you explain the lever principle and the working principle of gears to me last time? I've calculated it carefully, and there's absolutely no problem."
Master Zhang said affirmatively.
"Even if this behemoth could move, it would take at least thirty people to control it, right? And how can you guarantee its dexterity? If it's clumsy and slow as Snail, what's the point of creating this thing?"
Master Zhang scratched his head, somewhat disappointed, and asked, "Is it pointless?"
"Everything that exists needs to have value. Things without value are a waste of resources, unless you can solve the control problem of this big thing."
Master Zhang's Wisdom is undeniable; he was simply limited by the times. If he were alive today, he would undoubtedly be a scientist.
It's not that this behemoth can't be built, but rather that, currently, it's really not worthwhile.
With the time and materials to build this thing, wouldn't it be better to just build a dozen steam-powered war machines?
Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, "Go get paper and pen."
Master Zhang's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran back to the villa to get a set of paper and pen.
Ling Yi used a charcoal pencil, not an ancient calligraphy brush, because Ling Yi didn't know how to use one and wasn't used to it.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi Ling Yi created a table. He laid the paper on it and began to draw on it with a charcoal pencil.
After a while, a tank from a later era appeared on the paper.
"Modern steam locomotives have significant limitations, and their practical application value is not great," Ling Yi said.
Master Zhang nodded. He knew this, and that was precisely why, even though they had already copied the steam engine, they hadn't built a steam locomotive.
On the contrary, they were imitating trains, which were naturally more valuable than steam locomotives.
Steam locomotives can only run on cement roads. If they try to run on dirt roads, their weight will cause them to get stuck in any pothole or uneven surface.
"If you can build a tracked vehicle like that, then you won't be limited by terrain."
"Not only that, these tracked vehicles can traverse mountains and valleys as if they were flat ground."
"Look at these tracks. They're driven by gears internally. Because of the area of force application and the angle of rotation, small bumps and potholes are completely Ignore..."
Master Zhang's eyes were bright; he looked at the tracked tank on the blueprint as if it were a rare treasure.
"Sir, your Wisdom is truly Wushuang; this design is simply Heavenly People."
"If I equipped my mechanical iron man with these tracks, mobility wouldn't be a problem."
Ling Yi rolled his eyes. "You're still thinking about your Transformers?"
Ling Yi wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He suddenly became very curious; if Master Zhang really did build a punk-style Transformers, that would seem pretty cool.
Whether it's useful or not, it's good as a collectible.
Moreover, Master Zhang's Wisdom is already at the pinnacle of this era; perhaps this guy will create a surprise for himself.
Ling Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard. With your Wisdom, you will surely go down in history and become a pioneer of the times."
Upon being praised by Ling Yi, Master Zhang was overjoyed and felt his whole body brimming with energy.
"Rest assured, sir, Chengfu will certainly not disappoint you."
Zhang Chengfu is the name of Master Zhang ( Zhang Chengfu: I finally have a name, it wasn't easy).
"Go ahead and get busy!"
Zhang Chengfu grabbed the blueprints and turned to run towards his "laboratory".
But Ling Yi called him back again.
"Wait a minute!" Ling Yi suddenly remembered something and called out to him.
Zhang Chengfu looked at Ling Yi in confusion, only to see Ling Yi pick up the charcoal pencil again and start drawing on the paper.
This time, Ling Yi drew two diagrams: one of a modern lathe and the other of a bicycle.
Never underestimate the value of a lathe; its emergence was a milestone in industrial civilization.
Only with lathes can parts of uniform specifications be mass-produced, ensuring their precision.
As for the bicycle, it was also a groundbreaking invention.
Ling Yi explained the significance of lathes and the principles of bicycles, leaving Zhang Chengfu utterly impressed.
However, Ling Yi is still only talking theory; it will probably take quite some time before he sees the actual product.
However, Ling Yi believed that as long as the lathe was made, even if it did not meet the standards of later generations, it would still have epoch-making significance for the current development speed of the industrial civilization of the Great Tang.
Zhang Chengfu left satisfied.
Just then, Li Shimin arrived in his steam locomotive with five thousand soldiers.
And the one leading the team this time was none other than Li Jing.
" Ling Yi, this time I am entrusting my kingdom to you." Li Shimin said solemnly to Ling Yi.
Li Shimin knew that Ling Yi had no experience in leading troops into battle, so it would be better for Ling Yi Ling Yi to use his "immortal magic" directly rather than lead troops.
Leading troops into battle requires professionals.
Ling Yi did not refuse, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Jing, Fist Dao, "Then I'll have to trouble the Duke of Wei from now on."
Li Jing quickly returned the greeting, saying, "You're too kind, sir. You can simply call me Yaoshi."
"Do you need me to arrange some more talent for internal affairs?" Li Shimin asked again.
"We'll see then." Ling Yi didn't say he didn't want it; they'd have to wait and see after the fight started.
Ling Yi didn't waste any words and directly Summon Space-Time Gate. After opening it, he said to Li Jing, "This portal is a bit small, but it's the only size it can be for now. I'll leave the rest to General Li to arrange."
"That's how it should be."
Li Jing was very excited at this moment.
Ever since Ling Yi Divine Might on the banks of the Wei River, the surrounding countries, Xiaoxiao, have been terrified.
They all submitted to the Tang Dynasty and paid tribute, which at least ensured good relations with the Great Tang.
It can be said that for a considerable period of time afterward, the Great Tang Dynasty was at peace.
For a Martial General, going to the battlefield to kill enemies is his ultimate purpose.
Unexpectedly, he would be conquering other worlds this time; how could he not be excited?
In fact, Qin Qiong (Qin Shubao) was Li Shimin's first choice.
However, Qin Qiong is now plagued by illness and is no longer able to go to the battlefield.
Besides Qin Qiong, there's only Li Jing.
As for Cheng Yaojin and his gang? They're a bunch of reckless fools, really not reliable.
Ling Yi returned to the Song Dynasty and spent almost half the night getting all five thousand cavalrymen to come.
The main problem was that the Space-Time Gate was too small, so people had to queue up one by one to enter.
Five thousand cavalrymen is no small number; they completely filled this mountain valley.
Behind us are the city walls of Zhending Prefecture, and in front lies Western Capital Datong Prefecture, which has now been occupied by the Kingpin.
It's somewhat laughable, but was the Song Dynasty really weak? Did the Song Dynasty lack capable Martial General?
Of course not, the Song Dynasty had too many capable Martial General.
Ironically, almost none of the capable Martial General in the Song Dynasty met a good end.
Most of the emperors of the Song Dynasty were surrendered emperors, making it an extremely pathetic dynasty.
If you lose, you have to cede territory and pay compensation; if you win, you still have to cede territory and pay compensation.
The Song Dynasty placed great emphasis on civil officials and despised military officials. Civil officials caused chaos in the court, and the Song Dynasty feared that Martial General would seize power.
This is also related to the policies and guidelines established by Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, after he "released military power over a cup of wine."
"Our first target is the Jin Empire across the way!" Ling Yi said, pointing ahead.
As Li Jing looked at the Map of the Song Dynasty drawn by Ling Yi, he said indignantly, "The emperor of the Song Dynasty is truly useless. He handed over such a great Jiang Shan to others. What a waste!"
"Why don't you simply seize power from the Song dynasty and replace it? Such a court is truly useless."
Ling Yi glanced at Li Jing. "Was this sent by Li Shimin to test me?"
"Don't say things like that anymore, it's pointless. Now that we've conquered this territory, let's first fly the Great Tang flag and talk about how to proceed."
Li Jing was also helpless; it was indeed Li Shimin who had told him to say those words.
It couldn't really be called a test; Li Shimin simply wanted to know Ling Yi's purpose.
To be precise, the ambitious Li Shimin set his sights on this territory in this time and space.
He wanted to know who would ultimately own this territory after it was conquered.
Of course, since it belonged to Ling Yi, or rather, Ling Yi directly established a country in this world, Li Shimin naturally wouldn't say anything, nor would he dare to say anything.
"Ahem, although we only have five thousand soldiers, with the armor and weapons provided by you, sir, we will surely be invincible and unstoppable."
Li Jing knew exactly how powerful the five thousand sets of equipment Ling Yi had brought out were.
"But I not only want to destroy the Jin Empire Jin Empire, but also occupy it, and do the same for other places. How should I do this?"
Ling Yi asked again.
"Defeat them decisively, capture the prisoners, identify suitable puppets for training, and temporarily put them in charge."
"What if this puppet causes trouble with the prisoners?"
Li Jing laughed loudly, "Then let's fight it again. If once isn't enough, then twice, three times, until the other side is completely subdued."
Ling Yi clapped his hands and smiled, "Then, we'll have to trouble General Li next."
"Please rest assured, sir. With such Heavenly Soldier at my command, if I, Li, suffer even one defeat, I will surely offer my head to you."
Li Jing is a little arrogant.
However, Ling Yi didn't think that with such a force, how could they possibly lose?
If all else fails, there's always myself, with my cheat code.
If he couldn't handle the situation on the banks of the Wei River, he would personally go through it again.
The Kingpin probably never dreamed that one day their enemy would come from another time and space, and be a time traveler with superhuman abilities.
They also did not expect that the Jin Empire, which was originally unstoppable, would be crushed and Sweep aside by five thousand soldiers in a short period of time, and repeatedly rubbed into the ground!
