Heishan, also known as Jiashan, is located to the east of Baotou City in later generations. It is a good place for Tibetans. At that time, the Liao Dynasty Emperor Yelu Yanxi led more than 10,000 remaining soldiers and hid in Heishan for nearly a year, avoiding the first round of pursuit by the Jin army.
If Yatu also hides and seeks in the Black Mountain honestly, she will probably hide until she dies and Ma Yongzhen will not be able to find her.
Of course, if she continued to hide, she would only be a few days away from starving to death, so she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
But she was unlucky. She sent Meng En with two thousand men to take advantage of the night. As soon as they came out of the Black Mountain, they were hit by the Qin army's scouts. This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Meng En quickly sent people into the mountains to report to Sukhbaru and Yatu.
How could Yatu dare to stay for a moment? They had several thousand soldiers, but the remaining food and fodder was only enough for two days. It was freezing cold, and if they were blocked in the mountains by Ma Yongzhen, they would have to eat each other soon.
Ma Yongzhen, who was stationed at Lingzhao Temple, soon received a report from the scouts, but they were still sixty or seventy miles away. By the time he sent his lieutenant general Du Yueneng to lead a thousand men and horses to rush over, Yatu had already escaped, leaving only countless scattered hoof prints on the snow.
Du Yueneng was unwilling to give up, so he followed the horseshoe prints all the way towards Hetao. Unfortunately, the Yellow River had not yet thawed, and Yatu's men crossed the river on the ice without any obstacles.
At daybreak, Du Yueneng chased to the Yellow River, but all he could see were horse hoof prints. He had set out in a hurry the night before, without even bringing any food or fodder. The soldiers had been chasing him all night, and were tired and hungry. Du Yueneng had no choice but to give up the pursuit.
Ma Yongzhen, who learned the whole story, couldn't help but sighed. It would have been great if he had found out earlier that Yatu's 8,000 troops were hiding in the Black Mountains. What a pity! What a pity!
After thanking the abbot of Lingzhao Temple, Ma Yongzhen ordered the army to continue to implement the battle plan of pushing westward. At the same time, he divided the army into several small groups of 500 people, advanced into Hetao, and began to harass Dongtao.
At this time, the weather began to warm up gradually. The ice and snow began to melt slowly. Although Yatu did not suffer any losses when he fled back to Dongtao, he returned empty-handed, which not only wasted a lot of time, but also greatly damaged morale.
When the news of Hadanbater's defeat at Wuding River came, deserters appeared in the army. This made Yatu feel very uneasy, and he retreated all the way to Yinchuan City.
In Chang'an City, the leaders of the tribes south of the desert have all arrived, and now only the leaders of the Tibetan tribes are missing. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is frozen in winter, so it won't be that fast, so we have to wait a little longer.
Qin Mu was not in a hurry. Even if Yatu and Qitat fled to the ends of the earth, he had tens of thousands of Mongolian troops chasing them. It might be a good thing if he could wave the whip of God again and bring the yellow peril to Europe.
After several months of preparation, Xijing Polytechnic officially opened on the 15th day of the second month, the Flower Festival. In order to show his importance to the Polytechnic, Qin Mu put aside all military and political affairs and made a special trip to attend the opening ceremony.
The Flower Festival is also called the Flower God Festival, which is meant to celebrate the birthday of all flowers. In early spring, February is still cold, but everything begins to revive, and the grass and trees sprout green. After a cold and bleak winter, people are eager to see spring, and the common people are eager to go out. Men, women, old and young go out together.
The Polytechnic Institute is located near Baqiao in the east of the city. Qin left the city with a small entourage. Li Xiangjun, Xu Ruoshi and several other girls also changed into heart-shaped silk clothes and graceful palace skirts and followed him out of the city for an outing.
Baqiao is the hub connecting Chang'an and the Central Plains in the east. There is a post station beside the bridge. When seeing off relatives and friends going east, they often say goodbye here and give each other willow branches as gifts. Li Bai once wrote the following poem: The sound of the flute is sad, and Qin E's dream is broken by the moon in Qin Tower. The moon in Qin Tower, the willows are green every year, and Ba Ling is sad to say goodbye.
Because five miles of embankments were built on both sides of the Ba River and tens of thousands of willow trees were planted, when spring comes, the willows are green and the catkins are flying, which is one of the eight scenic spots in Chang'an. Therefore, it is not only a place for farewell, but also the first choice for the scholars in Chang'an to go for an outing.
When Qin Mu drove out of the city, the Bashui River was already full of people. Even the officials and noble ladies who rarely went out usually came in groups of three or four to go out and play. Looking around, there were many beautiful women by the Chang'an River, with graceful manners, distant intentions, and sincere and sincere feelings, delicate skin and well-proportioned body...
Seeing Li Xiangjun and the others eager to enjoy the spring scenery outside the city, Qin Mu warned them, "Xiangjun, don't go too far. Also, don't just be so vain. Wear more clothes. It's windy out here. Don't catch a cold."
Don’t think that only girls in later generations like to show off. Rich girls nowadays also try on silk clothes before the New Year comes!
Li Xiangjun and her companions rarely come out, so they are in a very good mood, smiling like flowers, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Qin Mulou passed by Li Xiangjun, who was smiling sweetly and looking at him with beautiful eyes, and sighed, "Look at you all, each of you is as beautiful as a fairy from heaven, how can I be at ease? Ying'er, bring your sword with you, if any bully dares to come and rob people, you must draw your sword in time."
Hongniang rolled her eyes at him and couldn't help laughing.
The petite Li Xiangwan twisted in his arms and smiled charmingly, "Then Your Majesty can use the meteor as a horse and the moon as a lantern to take Nunu and others back."
Hongniangzi added: "Xiangjun is overthinking. He is the biggest bully himself. Who dares to rob you?"
"How dare you say that to me?" Qin Mu stretched out his hand and pushed Hong Niang's upper body down, and slapped her round buttocks.
Hongniang had a lot of martial arts skills, but she didn't dare to resist. She felt numb on her buttocks after being beaten, which made her look very embarrassed.
Qin Mu went even further, and after letting go of Li Xiangjun, he hugged her and kissed her passionately, almost suffocating her, with her huge breasts rising and falling violently;
After her panting subsided a little, she didn't dare to stay in the carriage any longer. She climbed out of the shaft and jumped lightly onto the warhorse, making Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan and other girls laugh sweetly.
"Jokes aside, you really have to be careful and don't catch a cold." When they were almost at Baqiao, Qin Mu reminded them again and helped the girls tighten their clothes one by one.
Feeling his care, the beauties felt warm in their hearts and agreed one after another. Li Zhiyin even plucked up the courage and took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek to express her love.
Qin Mu got off the carriage at the bridge, changed to a handsome horse, and led a team of guards to the Polytechnic Institute on the west side. About two miles west of Baqiao, the college was built by the water and half on the hillside. It was not very large, but the surrounding area was spacious, so it would be easy to expand in the future.
As the main organizer, Sima Kai, along with the teachers and students of the academy, had been waiting at the gate. When they saw Qin Mu riding a horse, they all bowed and saluted: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"
Qin Mu stopped his warhorse more than ten steps away. The horse neighed, stood up, and stomped its front hooves heavily. The man was like a tiger and the horse was like a dragon. The scene made him look heroic and awe-inspiring.
"No need to be polite!"
Sima Kai came forward in small steps, helped Qin Mu hold the reins and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the plaque for the academy has not been written yet. Please grant it a plaque."
"Xiao Kaizi, school is about to start today, and there is no plaque yet. Look what you have done."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Actually... Actually, I had someone write a plaque before, but when I heard that Your Majesty would personally preside over the opening ceremony, I thought it would be best for Your Majesty to write the plaque for the academy, so I took down the original plaque. Your Majesty, I have prepared the pen and ink, and I hope Your Majesty will give me the calligraphy."
Qin Mu couldn't help laughing when he recalled the night when he was on a secret tour and wrote an inscription at the stall selling black sesame paste.
Of course, what Sima Kai valued when doing this was not how good his calligraphy was, but the significance represented by the imperial handwriting.
Qin Mu did not refuse anymore. He dismounted from his horse, came to the desk prepared by Sima Kai, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote the six big characters "Xijing Institute of Technology".
"Sima Kai, spread some more paper over here so I can write a motto for the academy."
"Yes, yes, your majesty." Sima Kai and the college's chief priest Li Xuan hurried forward, carefully removed the six words "Xijing Institute of Technology" written by Qin Mu, and replaced it with a piece of red paper.
Qin Mu dipped the brush in ink again, rolled up his sleeve with his left hand, and wrote with his right hand: Facts speak louder than words.
Xijing Institute of Technology enrolled 300 students in the first batch, plus 13 professors from the institute.
In terms of mathematics, China at that time was not behind the West, and it was easy to find mathematics professors.
However, professors of physics and chemistry were very scarce. Among the two professors of chemistry, one was a Taoist priest in his forties, which made Qin Mu laugh and sigh.
Maybe, these days only Taoists who make elixirs are relatively familiar with chemistry.
More than 300 teachers and students watched the emperor write the inscription quietly. The scene was completely silent. After Qin Mu finished writing the inscription, he said loudly to the hundreds of teachers and students: "Do you know why I gave you this school motto?"

ps: Thanks to many friends for their gifts, such as Wanglairufeng, Bujiuzhuangb, Yunfengwuhen, etc. My heart is warmed by your support. It’s just that I am not good at expressing gratitude, so I will just bow in thanks.
I have been writing books for several years, and this is the year in which I have gained the most. Thank you all so much.
Well, last night in the group, I also got a lot of links for bachelors, but when I opened them, they were all "basically related laws and regulations, you can't play related resources." Well, I am guilty, I will do it, I decided to be a law-abiding bachelor, change my past, work hard on writing, and hope everyone will continue to support...
.(To be continued..)
