I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 49 Great victory in the north, Chang'an, eight hundred miles plus urgent news

"It's okay!"

"The war in the north should be over soon."

"The Ministry of Revenue must continue to supply food and grass to the Northern Expeditionary Army. We cannot let the soldiers go hungry and fight!"

Li Shimin heard this and said in a deep voice.

"I understand."

Liu Zhenghui replied respectfully and returned to class.

"Your Majesty, it's winter now. Our army of the Tang Dynasty is still fighting fiercely in the north. The Northern Expeditionary Army is still wearing autumn clothes. Should we urgently allocate cotton-padded clothes, cotton wool and other cold-resistant items to help the soldiers survive the winter?"

"Please Your Majesty to make a decision."

Qian Jiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out to report.

"I have made arrangements for the cotton-padded clothes and wadding. The first batch of cotton-padded clothes was delivered to the front line a few days ago."

"A new batch of clothing, along with other supplies, will be delivered to the front line soon."

Before Li Shimin could reply, Zhongshu ordered Fang Xuanling to stand up and reply.

"Fang Aiqing is very considerate and arranged things well in advance."

"I am deeply pleased!"

Li Shimin, who was originally expressionless, showed a smile of approval on his face.

"Your Majesty is wrong."

"As the deputy general manager of the Northern Expedition, Wei Chen is responsible for the logistics of the Northern Expedition."

Fang Xuanling immediately bowed and said respectfully.

"it is good."

"very good!"

Li Shimin was very pleased and even said good things.

Then, Li Shimin glanced at Taiwei Zhang Sun Wuji, who was standing in front of the civil servants, and preached:

"Changsun Wuji!"

"Chen is here!"

Changsun Wuji stood up and replied loudly.

"Sijieli Khan, how is the situation now?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Jieli Khan was placed under house arrest in the Concierge House. He was still resisting at first and wanted to die. However, after many attempts to comfort him, his mood has stabilized and he is willing to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to surrender the Turks and carry out propaganda to the herdsmen. comfort."

"Jieli Khan said that if His Majesty can let him return, he is willing to lead all the Turks to surrender sincerely, and respectfully calls His Majesty the 'Khan of Heaven'."

Changsun Wuji said.

"Khan of Heaven."

"Hahaha…"

"Changsun Wuji, do you think Jieli Khan sincerely surrendered to the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, according to my observations, Jieli Khan sincerely wants to submit to the Tang Dynasty."

"Now I told him about the situation of his younger brother, Yugu Changdu, taking over as the Turkic Khan. This gave him a big blow."

"The decision to surrender to the Tang Dynasty is also reasonable."

Changsun Wuji replied.

"Okay, Lieutenant, you continue to do the job of Jieli Khan. You tell him not to have any baggage in your heart. The things that forced me, the Tang Dynasty, on the Weishui River bridge in Chang'an have long been a thing of the past."

"As long as he, Jieli Khan, is willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty, his request can be met."

"Your Majesty, take the order."

Changsun Wuji replied loudly.

Next.

Other ministers also reported on the work of various ministries in the DPRK and Central Government.

Li Shimin made arrangements one by one.

time flies.

Li Shimin had finished watching the court meeting and asked:
  "My dear friends, is there anything else you can start?"

The ministers were silent at the foot of the steps. It seemed that the discussion at court today was about the same.

Li Shimin was about to announce his resignation.

at this time.

An officer of the Yulin Guard with bright armor quickly ran into the hall, knelt down and reported:
  "Report!"

"The urgent news of eight hundred miles north has been delivered outside the palace."

"Your Majesty, would you like to receive me now?"

Li Shimin couldn't hide the smile on his face when he heard the news of the eight hundred mile increase, and said to the ministers:
  "Everyone, I love you." "It seems that Duke Wei has brought me another surprise."

After that, he said excitedly:

"Xuan!"

"Immediately publicize the order to make an audience."

Respond.

The eunuchs on duty conveyed the imperial decree one after another.

Soon.

A messenger with a flag on his back and a dusty face walked quickly into the political hall.

The messenger entered the hall and knelt directly under the stairs. All the eyes of the civil and military officials were focused on him.

"Sir, see Your Majesty!"

"My lord, the messenger, following the orders of Commander-in-Chief Li, traveled 800 miles under the stars and night to deliver the news of the success in the northern territory to your majesty."

The messenger knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head to report the truth.

"Flat body."

Li Shimin gave instructions with a wave of his hand with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the messenger heard this, he stood up in fear and held up the good news in his hand.

"Prince."

Li Shimin ordered Prince Li Chengqian who was standing on the stairs.

"Yes!"

heard.

Prince Li Chengqian quickly walked down the stairs, came to the messenger, and received the good news.

"Father, please look!"

Li Chengqian walked up the stairs and prepared to report the good news to Li Shimin.

"Prince, come and read the news of victory to all the ministers."

"Since it is a good news, it is natural that all civil and military officials in the dynasty should share in the joy of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin laughed.

"My son, I accept the decree."

Li Chengqian turned to face all the ministers, opened the victory report, and read loudly:
  "Li Jing, the general manager of the Northern Expedition, and Zhang Gongjin, the deputy general manager, jointly submit the memorial."

"Since July, our Northern Expeditionary Army broke through the Turkic royal court and captured Jieli Khan alive. After a little repair, our Northern Expeditionary Army took advantage of the situation and rushed forward to search for the remnants of the Turks."

"In the past three months, our Northern Expeditionary Army has fought fierce battles with the remnants of the new Turkic Khan Yugu Qamdo, and we have won every battle."

"Especially our Northern Expedition vanguard army, led by General Li Zheng of Dingyuan, defeated the remaining troops of Yugu Changdu several times and followed the remaining Turks for more than 700 miles."

"Finally, a few days ago, the remnants of the Turks were surrounded in the last city of the Turks, the vast royal city."

"A few days ago, the vanguard army broke through the vast royal city. Except for Yugu Changdu and his family, as well as some princes and ministers who fled to Mobei a few days before the attack, all other Turkic remnants were annihilated by our vanguard army."

"Now the vast grassland has become my Datang's horse farm."

"The Turks, who have brought harm to the Tang Dynasty for many years, have been completely eradicated by our army. The Turks have ceased to exist in name only."

Prince Li Chengqian read the victory report of Duke Wei Li Jing, and the smile on his face became more intense.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was even more happy.

The Turks perished.

For Datang, the biggest scourge in the north was completely eliminated.

The most important thing is that without the harassment of Turks in the north, Datang can concentrate on developing the economy and improving people's livelihood.

The Tang Dynasty will create a prosperous era of Zhenguan belonging to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was naturally excited about this.

He completely wiped out the Turks and achieved a great feat that even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed to achieve.

From now on, the thousands of miles of grassland in the north will become the vast horse farms of the Tang Dynasty.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Great!"

"My lords, have you heard that there will be no more Turks in the north, and the vast grassland will be the horse farm where I, the Tang Dynasty, gallop."

"The Turks who have been constantly invading our northern border of the Tang Dynasty will no longer exist."

"Quickly! Quickly!"

Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair excitedly and laughed loudly.

At this moment, Li Shimin was standing on the steps, feeling like he was giving guidance and inspiring words.
