Chapter 392
After reading the system introduction, Fang Yang felt a lot of emotion.
These were all warhorses with great military exploits.
And they were all warhorses that died in battle.
To be remembered by Li Shimin and carved down.
It shows the importance of these horses to Li Shimin.
If the Horse Stepping on the Xiongnu commemorates the glorious achievements of Huo Qubing defeating the Xiongnu.
Then the Zhao Mausoleum Six Steeds can be said to be the merits of Li Shimin's lifelong conquest.
At this time, the archaeological experts at the scene began to study on the spot.
For them, the excavation of such cultural relics is like seeing a beauty, and they can't put it down.
But until half an hour later.
They could only judge that this was a cultural relic of the Tang Dynasty through the slightly blurred fonts on these six stone carvings.
They didn't know what it was specifically used for for a while.
But just when they were confused.
Someone immediately thought that Fang Yang was still here.
The walking cultural relic encyclopedia is standing here, why study it.
Isn't it better to take the answer back and copy it directly?
Someone ran over with a smile and asked: "Professor Fang, can you tell what these cultural relics are specifically used for?"
This "Professor Fang" made Fang Yang's goosebumps rise all over his body.
Although he has a system, he is still very uncomfortable when others call him that.
He had to smile awkwardly: "I haven't studied the specifics, but I have heard stories related to them!"
"Hiss~~"
"As expected of Professor Fang, can you recognize it at a glance?"
Fang Yang hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I just know some allusions, whether it is specific or not remains to be studied."
Other experts hurriedly gathered around upon hearing this.
"Then why study it, just listen to the lecture."
"That is, Professor Fang is here, we are all students."
"Take out your phone and record it, you can listen to it again when you go back."
"Good suggestion!!"
Several people talked to each other like this.
Let alone Fang Yang, even the netizens in the livestream felt embarrassed across the screen.
【Popularity】+1+1+1+1...
——【(Dog head) As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassed one is someone else. Especially when everyone is blowing rainbows in front of you, who has experienced that feeling knows. I can tell from Fang Yang's expression how uncomfortable he is now.】
——【Forget it, for those of us, if we want to be blown rainbows, we don't have the chance. First of all, you have to have real skills, otherwise why would others flatter you. And didn't you hear Fang Yang just say he knows the story? This means what? He must know what this is.】
——【I can listen to stories again. Every time Fang Yang digs up a cultural relic, he can tell the story behind it. It satisfies the eyes and can stop a historical story. If my history teacher taught me like this, I would listen every day.】
——【Your requirements are too high. Does your history teacher have to find a cultural relic for you every day? And it has to be dug up in front of you? This is not a joke. In this world, except for Fang Yang, no one can do it.】
Fang Yang was surrounded in the middle like stars holding the moon.
After listening to their round of sycophantic flattery, he had no choice but to smile and wave his hand.
"I once read a record."
"In China, after most emperors died, they chose to use large-scale stone lions and beasts as tomb guards."
"Only Li Shimin chose six scarred old horses as tomb guards."
As soon as this was said, there was a gasp at the scene.
"Does Fang Yang mean these are Li Shimin's tomb guards?"
"Emperor Taizong of Tang? If it is really like this, then these stone carvings are amazing!"
"Any cultural relic related to an emperor has extremely high value. It records the emperor's life events."
All archaeological experts were shocked.
They didn't expect that the 6 large stone slabs dug up casually were cultural relics of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin.
You know, cultural relics related to emperors have always been gold, silver, or jade.
Like this kind of stone carving, it is extremely rare.
Because it must have unique historical significance.
As the saying goes, archaeology is about its historical value.
The more historical value a cultural relic has, the higher its value.
For example, the Horse Stepping on the Xiongnu before.
If it were just carved in modern times.
With its shape, no one would look at it even if it were thrown away.
But once it is endowed with historical literature, it is a priceless treasure, a national treasure!
So, at this moment.
Every one of them was excited.
They all say Fang Yang is a thief who doesn't leave empty-handed... ah phew~~ they all say Fang Yang can dig up cultural relics wherever he goes.
I didn't expect this rumor to be true.
After everyone calmed down, someone immediately asked: "Why would he use horses as tomb guards."
Fang Yang smiled and said slowly: "These six horses, each one died in battle."
"They were all the mounts of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, during his lifetime."
"Each one has its own name, and there are detailed records of them on the wall."
"It's just that because of the long time, the fonts have been worn away."
"These six horses, each one corresponds to a tragic battle."
"Together, they are a magnificent history of the Tang Dynasty's entrepreneurship!"
"First, the horse closest to us is named Bai Ti Wu."
"It was the mount of Li Shimin during the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, the first battle of the Tang Dynasty."
"According to historical records, it is a pure black warhorse with four white hooves."
"The two words 'Bai Ti' come from the Turkic word 'bota', which means young horse or young camel, symbolizing the meaning of a young khan."
"From the stone carving, you can see that its four hooves are off the ground, and its mane and stirrups have clearly swung backward."
"This shows that it runs very fast, like lightning."
"And it was precisely because of its speed that it helped Li Shimin in the Battle of Qianshuiyuan."
"In 618 AD, Li Yuan, who started his army from Taiyuan, established his capital in Chang'an and changed Sui to Tang."
"It was also in this year that Xue Ju and his son Xue Rengao, who occupied Longyou, led an army of 300,000 to enter Guanzhong from the east."
"They defeated the Tang army in Jingchuan!"
"At the critical moment, 20-year-old Li Shimin was ordered to go on an expedition."
"The two armies confronted each other in the Gaocheng area for more than two months. Later, the Xue army's food and grass were insufficient, the morale of the army was fluctuating, and it was difficult to advance or retreat."
"Li Shimin saw the opportunity, mobilized troops and generals overnight, and took the opportunity to attack from inside and outside."
"First, he used a small amount of troops to lure the enemy in Qianshuiyuan, dragging down the elite Luo Hou department of the Xue army, and then attacked unexpectedly. He rode this Bai Ti Wu, took only a few elite cavalry, and was the first to kill into the enemy formation. The Xue army was in chaos and scattered everywhere."
"Li Shimin urged Bai Ti Wu again, led more than 2,000 cavalry, and traveled more than 200 miles in one day, directly beating Xue Rengao into surrendering the city."
"This battle, first defeated and then won, can be said to be a major exam for the newborn Tang Dynasty."
"It was also the battle where Li Shimin proved himself!"
"After the war, Li Shimin personally wrote praise for the meritorious Bai Ti Wu." ===== CHAPTER 393 =====
