Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 54 The War Between Children
May is early summer.

The weather is getting hotter, and on the hill behind Li Yuan's house, the grass grows and warblers fly.

Dandelions grow white flowers in the green grass.

Bluegrass exudes a refreshing fragrance in the sun.

The breeze blows through the pavilion, bringing coolness.

A middle-aged man with a sword came towards him with his servants, and he climbed up the hillside vigorously.

In the gazebo, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

"My lord, what a beautiful view!"

After he finished speaking, he sat at the table and poured himself wine.

"My lord, Yang Xiu has also been detained. Haha, the four brothers of the emperor died, those who were deposed were deposed, and those who were imprisoned were imprisoned. Now I am really the only one." Seeing that Li Yuan did not speak, he smiled. Laughing, he was gulped down, and continued:
"The more heroes and generals I see, the more valuable I think you are. Not only do you know the times and know how to advance and retreat, but you always seem to be invincible. If you didn't take the initiative to resign before, I'm afraid it will not be easy now."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw children playing war games on the grass in the distance.

They hold homemade bamboo swords in each hand. These bamboo swords are not complicated to make. They only need to use smooth bamboo poles or wooden sticks to wrap the top and make a small hand guard. Safe to play with bamboo swords too.

Changsheng has already given a hand to his children's group, and the rest will be sent to the second brother.

Li Shimin couldn't put it down as soon as he saw it, and immediately called his friends to practice.

The tip of the sword has been coated with white powder, and once it hits the body, it will leave obvious marks, so the casualties of both sides can be calculated.

That's right, they are playing group battles, random battles, not heads-up.

"Come on!" A boy with a fuwa head yelled and rushed towards him, and a dozen children behind him followed suit.

On the other side was Li Shimin. At the age of seven, he was almost as tall as a ten-year-old child, with dark skin and a strong figure.

Changsheng couldn't help but call him Big Black Bear again.

I saw that he didn't panic in the face of the opponent's charge, and only shouted when the opponent approached: "Take it!"

Several ambushes lying in ambush by the roadside heard the order and pulled hard, a hemp rope suddenly appeared, tripping the opponent's arrow troops directly.

The people behind couldn't hold back their speed and bumped into the people in front, and everyone fell down one by one like a relay.

They fell into a ball in a hurry, and when they finally got up, they realized that they were already surrounded by each other.

The loser screamed angrily, threw the bamboo sword in his hand to the ground, and said, "Li Shimin! Don't cheat if you have the ability, fight with me with real swords and guns!"

Li Shimin put away his sword and said with a smile: "War, what do you use to cheat? Haven't you heard that soldiers never tire of cheating?"

The dissatisfied person on the opposite side rushed up with a "wow", and the two sides scuffled together.

The people on the mountain saw it and couldn't help but say, "It's kind of interesting."

Li Yuan smiled: "This is my second son, Li Shimin, who usually spends most of his time in the army, working hard with his uncles and uncles. He must have watched a lot and learned some things by ear. It's not worth mentioning."

At this time, Li Shimin, the winner of the battle, separated from the crowd, and ran up profusely with a sword in his hand.

Walking to Li Yuan's side, he called "Father", picked up his own water bottle, and drank "ton ton ton".

The middle-aged man liked it more and more, and asked, "Does the young man have ambitions?"

Li Shimin put the bamboo knife aside: "I want to cleanse the world and make my name famous all over the world."

The middle-aged man laughed: "What a big ambition, it's not easy."

As he spoke, he began to feel on his body, but only found a piece of jade pendant, so he untied it and threw it to Li Shimin.

"If you don't change your ambition in the future, take this piece of jade and come to Dengzhou to find me, Li Jing."

Li Yuan laughed: "Thank you Uncle Li, he doesn't make promises easily."

Li Shimin hurriedly bowed to thank him.

Li Jing waved his hand, bid farewell to Li Yuan and left happily.

While Li Shimin was frantically reaping favors from celebrities, Changsheng in the Hetao Plain was staring at the map in a daze.

Li Shimin developed in Xi'an, and went to the Hetao Plain in order to stay away from Yang Guang. This place is far away from the place where the Central Plains will fight in the future, and it is safe and suitable for development.

But in order not to be at a disadvantage in future contests, she wants to build her own territory around the opponent, forming a siege to the second brother's power.

So she set her sights on the southwest, northeast and South China Sea.

She has already started the cultivation of talents, and when these children grow up, that is when they will shine.

The reserve of technology is even earlier, and the development of new farm tools guarantees the production of grain. As the saying goes, there is food at home, and there is no panic in the heart.

The corresponding light industry or agricultural and sideline industries are also developing in an orderly manner, not only the raising of poultry, but also the processing and sales of agricultural and sideline products.All take shape.

In the next step, Changsheng plans to start spinning, not spinning ordinary threads, but spinning wool.

This is a strategic step. Both the north and the west are territories of the nomads. In good times, they can trade cattle and sheep with the Han in exchange for their daily necessities, such as iron pots, salt, and mirrors.

However, in the years of disasters, the loss of animal husbandry will not be smaller than that of agriculture. That is, they will mount their horses and brandish long knives to the south of the Yellow River to seek alms for the Central Plains people.

Wanting to ensure safety and long-term development in this area, Changsheng only thought of this method, either to drive them far away, so that they dare not have the idea of ​​going south, or tie them to his own warship to form a profit community.

After the other party is willing to establish trade relations.Aren't your cattle and sheep easy to die in poverty alleviation through science and technology? We teach you how to raise them, or help you raise them.Then purchase beef, mutton and wool products quantitatively every year.

Turning the original nomads into handicraft workers, there is no need to chase water and grass for grazing. We have ready-made dams and fodder for captive breeding.

Men can shave wool, kill sheep, and make mutton food, while women spin wool at home to make blankets and sweaters.

Then sell it to the Han people in exchange for their daily necessities or gold and silver jewelry.

In this way, their survival problem is solved, and our security problem is solved, not only both sides benefit, but also unite into an unbreakable whole of interests.

Anyone who wants to destroy this relationship is to be an enemy of both sides at the same time. Changsheng believes that no fool is willing to do this.

But they had to be defeated beforehand.

In history, these foreigners were used to surrendering. They surrendered when the situation was not good, and then rebelled when they waited for the opportunity.

For example, Nurhachi in the post-golden period is a typical representative of turning his face and being ruthless.

The only way to make them surrender completely is to beat them until they are in so much pain that they can't take care of themselves.

So the question now is, who will be the candidate?

At this time, the wise and wise Sun Simiao offered him another candidate.

Yanshan Luoyi.

Changsheng was very unfamiliar with this name, but after hearing that he had a son named Luo Cheng, Changsheng's eyes lit up instantly.
