The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2187
Let's say that Li Shimin quickly received [-] mobile phones.

And he quickly distributed these mobile phones and forced all officials to give [-] feedbacks each.

ten days.

During these ten days, he allowed the phone to be taken outside for testing.

Regardless of location.

Then, when officials receive a task, they execute it immediately.

No one complained, because Li Shimin was thinking about everyone.

Once the mobile phone is implemented in the future, it will not only be used in the upper court, but also be used in many aspects.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with everyone's performance.

Ten days may seem like a long time, but it is actually short.

But with Li Min, he felt very short.

why.

Because in the coming time, he can cope with the extreme cold.

The closer the time is now, the less sure he feels.

Although he was prepared.

But he always felt that these preparations were not enough.

In fact, he may not choose to develop on the land in the north.

But it was too fertile there.

Therefore, he still let people from Shengtang Group develop it there.

In this way, more resources can be obtained from limited land.

On this day, Li Shimin went to Lizheng Palace to look for Queen Changsun.

When he arrived at the palace, he was filled with scent.

The orange lights shine on the white snow, making people feel as if they are in a paradise.

Snowflakes were falling, covering the garden outside the palace.A thin layer of snowflakes also fell on the snow-white bedding, tables and chairs.

In the palace, there was a young woman with a faint smile on her face, and a sense of happiness and tranquility between her brows.

There are also several silver deer inlaid on the bedside screen, giving people a unique atmosphere in the palace.

In the center of the palace, there is a six-foot-long topaz bed, covered with white brocade quilt, soft and comfortable.Next to the bed, there is a small table and several small white porcelain sculptures, which look extremely elegant.The entire palace is full of Zen and tranquility, making people forget the troubles of the world.

Passing through the jade gate of the palace is a garden in the snow, and the flowers covered with snow look even more delicate.

Several snow cranes danced gracefully in the garden, as if chasing the beautiful snow scene.

When Li Shimin arrived, Queen Changsun came out to greet him.

"His Majesty!"

Queen Changsun bowed to Li Shimin.

"Queen, there is no need to be polite!"

"Yes!"

When Queen Changsun stood up.

Li Shimin found a place to sit down.

"Your Majesty, I have noticed that you are very tired these days!"

"It's okay. Today's discount has been approved in advance."

Li Shimin said.

"That's good!"

"I've been thinking about a question."

Li Shimin said suddenly.

At this time, when he came to see Empress Changsun, it must have been more than just spending the night. There must have been something that he couldn't judge or couldn't make a decision about.

That's why I came here to find Queen Changsun.

Queen Changsun understood very well.

"Your Majesty, please tell me. If I know anything, I will tell you everything."

Empress Changsun replied so.

"It's like this. I've been thinking about things in the Turks recently. Zhijie has been in the Turks for more than a month now, and it's winter again. I'm wondering if it's necessary for Zhijie to stay there."

It turns out that Li Shimin was thinking about this.

About the Turks.

Cheng Yaojin beat him happily, but a problem arises. Some Turks are still unconvinced.

If they are not convinced in time, they may still pose a threat to Datang in the future.

At this time, Queen Changsun said: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Min'er?"

"Are you going to ask him again?"

Li Shimin said.

Obviously, he didn't want to ask Li Min.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that child can give a neutral and fair answer. It's up to me to ask this question, and Your Majesty can just listen to it."

Empress Changsun said so.

"Okay, you go contact him."

Li Shimin said.

Then he added: "I don't know if he is asleep?"

It is indeed possible.

After all, it is already night in Datang.

But it was early morning in Dongzhou, and Li Min got up early.

At this time in Datang, it was already night.

"He usually goes to bed late. I've looked for him several times. Every time I look for him at about this time." Queen Changsun added.

"That's fine, you can ask."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he stopped talking.

He was signaling Queen Gao Changsun to make this call quickly.

Queen Changsun didn't say anything else.He picked up the phone and dialed Li Min's number.

"Zhen'er, are you asleep?" Queen Changsun asked in her first words.

"I woke up!"

Li Min replied unintentionally.

"What? What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Why are you awake?"

Only then did Li Min realize that it was still night in the Tang Dynasty.

So, he quickly said: "I feel sleepy in the afternoon, so I'll sleep for a few hours. What's the matter, aunt, are you okay?"

Li Min said.

Empress Changsun didn't say anything more.

"You have to take good care of yourself!"

she said again.

"Yes, aunt, by the way, what do you want from me?"

Li Min asked suspiciously.

After a while, Empress Changsun said: "That's it. During this period, Your Majesty has been thinking about how to conquer the Turks. We originally wanted to cause them to have civil strife, but this civil strife takes too long. Now, Well, Zhijie is in the Turks again, and now it's winter. If it snows heavily, I'm afraid the Turks won't be able to be supported, so His Majesty wants him to come back, but he doesn't want to give up on the Turks. It was all going to succeed, but it's a pity to give up now. "

Queen Changsun made it very clear.

Li Min finally understood. "So, you are here to ask me how to conquer the Turks?"

Li Min is indeed Li Min, and you will understand as soon as you ask.

"Yes!"

"Let me think about it."

"It's okay, just think about it!" Queen Changsun said again.

Li Shimin stayed by the side without saying a word.

He wanted to know what Li Min would do next.

"Let me tell you my opinion!" Li Min said

"you say!"

"In fact, it is not easy to completely surrender a country. It requires a series of strategies and measures. I have summarized a few opinions. Listen to them. If you think they are reasonable, you can implement them. If you think they are unreasonable, just listen to them. I heard it works!”

"you say!"

"Sure! The first point is to be solved through diplomatic means! Through peaceful diplomatic means, negotiate and negotiate with the Turks, reach agreements and treaties, and achieve the surrender of the Turks. This may require giving the Turks certain privileges or favors in exchange for Its cooperation and obedience.”

"The Turks may not accept this! They are white-eyed wolves and cannot be raised!" Queen Changsun said immediately.

The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks has existed since the founding of the Turks.

It's been going on for decades.

If the Turks are not defeated, the war will continue in the future.

"Okay, since there's no other way to do this, let's use the second method!"

"What's the second one?"

"Military conquest! Through war and military conquest, occupy Turkic territory, defeat its army, and force it to surrender. This may require a long war and large-scale military operations, resulting in huge losses and destruction of Turkic people and resources. Let them no longer be able to Launching a powerful invasion, this move can bring the opponent's economy to a halt and suffer a huge blow!"

"Yes, we are doing this!" Queen Changsun said.

"The third point is to conquer them through economic control! By controlling the Turks' economy and trade, and grasping their economic lifeline, we can achieve the surrender of the Turks. This may require a series of measures, such as trade embargoes , tax plunder, resource control, etc., leading to the collapse and bankruptcy of the Turkic economy."

"I agree with this!" Queen Changsun said.

Li Shimin also nodded there.

What they also did was create chaos within them.

This trick is also very useful.

"Yes, and one last thing!"

Li Min said.

This last point may also be the point he has been using.

"The last point is cultural assimilation. Through cultural assimilation and infiltration, the beliefs, values ​​and cultural traditions of the Turkic people are changed, so that they gradually accept the conqueror's culture and values, thereby achieving the surrender of the Turks. This may take a long time Propaganda and education, as well as the destruction and transformation of Turkic cultural traditions. But this takes too long! However, the role it can play is also great. It can make the existing Turks identify with the Tang Dynasty and let the They feel that they are people of the Tang Dynasty. In this case, there will be no Turks. They can even let the people of the Tang Dynasty immigrate to the Turks, have fun with the Turks, combine with them, and have offspring. Then they will have a place to belong."

Li Yin made it very clear.

Then he added: "These methods are not static and require specific analysis of specific situations. Conquering the Turks requires comprehensive consideration of various factors and means, including politics, economy, military, culture, etc., in order to achieve final victory and rule."

"Zhen'er, what you said is very good! Will Zhijie come back?" Queen Changsun asked.

"Come back, of course you have to come back! You can even withdraw your troops and come back! Just guard the border, encourage immigrants to come there, and slowly penetrate until the entire Turks have penetrated. Anyway, the Tang army is very advanced now. You can find Turks at any time People can’t find Bei, right?”

When Li Min said this, Li Shimin almost laughed out loud.

Because he is proud.

He loves to hear that.

The Turks can be made aware of the power of the Tang army at any time.

This is the power of Datang.

"Yes, in that case, it is indeed true."

Queen Changsun said with great certainty.

"Yes, this is what I always thought the Tang Dynasty was like."

Li Yin continued.

Queen Changsun said again: "That's right, it's like this. All of this is inseparable from your hard work."

Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Min said: "Auntie, you are exaggerating. In fact, the army of the Tang Dynasty can be so powerful because of the concerted efforts of the entire Tang Dynasty. The Shengtang Group alone cannot defeat the Tang Dynasty. Build a stronger one. This requires joint efforts from the court to the people. Of course, policymakers also play a certain role."

The decision-maker mentioned here is Li Shimin, but Li Minming does not say he is Li Shimin, but the decision-maker.

Although Li Shimin felt a little unhappy when he heard these three words.

But when he heard Li Min's affirmation of him, he felt conflicted and happy at the same time.

The paradox is whether he should accept Li Min's remarks?Happily, Li Min affirmed him.It made him feel very comfortable.

It has been more than ten years. In these ten years, Li Min has not said anything good about himself, and he has never heard Li Min's positive comments about himself.

But now Li Min actually said that his importance was indelible, so his mood became very good.

And signaled Queen Changsun to hang up the phone.

He had something to say to Queen Changsun.

And the results are now out.

Then Empress Changsun spoke to Li Min.

"My child, thanks to you this time. I will report all your opinions to His Majesty and let him make a decision. No matter what, the contribution made by Shengtang Group is indelible, and you will be the key to the entire country. The greatest hero of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Min smiled and said, "Madam, let's not talk about the issue of meritorious officials or not! These things are what I have always wanted to do, and I don't think my will is entirely with you. There should be a wider space for I soar.”

"Yes, yes, you said it!"

No matter what Li Min said now, Queen Changsun said yes!

"Okay, I will tell His Majesty what you just said now!"

In fact, it’s okay not to say it, because Li Shimin has completely heard it.

But even if it is like this all the time, I still have to say this.Otherwise it would be so embarrassing.

"Okay, it's your decision on how to do it. These are the opinions I can provide. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me."

Li Yin replied.

"Don't worry. I will ask you about the governance of the Tang Dynasty. Let's stop here first."

"it is good!"

So Empress Changsun hung up the phone, and Li Shimin said very happily.

"I really didn't expect that this kid is really very foresighted. Yes! Children can be taught. What he thinks and talks is exactly the same as what I think in my heart."

Li Shimin actually said such ridiculous words, and Empress Changsun did not try to expose him.

Just totally agree with him.

"In that case, Your Majesty should know what to do, right?"

"Let Zhijie come back and spend a good New Year with his family. Let the soldiers from the frontier come back together. We will make a decision in the spring of next year. It can also be regarded as giving the Turks a chance to breathe. As long as their weapons are no longer Invading our Tang Dynasty. As for the conquest, we can take our time and not rush to make them pay too many lives. God is merciful and will not allow me to do this."

Li Shimin suddenly figured it out.

Empress Changsun also approved of Li Shimin's approach.

"Yes! What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"

"Come here and convey my decree! Let Zhijie and the soldiers return!"

"Yes!"

At that moment, an order was passed down.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin was still thinking about whether to talk to Li Shimin about going back.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin took the initiative to let him go back.

This made him very happy.

So, he packed up his things and headed towards Chang'an with the soldiers.
