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

Chapter 635: Expedition to the West
"How long?" Li Chengqian was stunned.

Li Zheng has gone on many expeditions, but he never said how long the expedition would last. This time he said it would be very long?
"At least one or two years, sometimes even longer."

"Big brother."

"I'm handing that brat Li Xian over to you. You must train him well. When you are old and want to take a rest, you can leave the government affairs to him. I'd be happy to do so." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Thinking of his son's mischievous appearance, Li Zheng couldn't help but want to beat him.

"You brat, you only think about bullying Xiaoxian, but he is not even ten years old." Li Chengqian said unhappily.

Li Chengqian values ​​this child very much. He has kept him by his side since he woke up, as if he had a kind of family affection for him.

"It's easy to fool them while they're still young, but it won't work if they're beaten in the future." Li Zheng joked.

Li Chengqian was too lazy to talk to Li Zheng.

In terms of defending Li Xian, he is the same as Li Shimin.

Time passes gradually.

But in just half an hour, an hour passed.

Waves of innate aura emanated from the bodies of many soldiers.

Many people successfully completed the breakthrough and directly broke through to the innate realm.

The fact that they were able to stand out from the millions of troops in the Tang Dynasty and reached the peak of the acquired realm by relying on ordinary internal skills is enough to prove their outstanding talents. Now that they have spiritual energy, it will be even easier for them to break through.

"Five thousand Xiantian realms, it's almost there, and it's not just them."

"There are still many generals in my Tang Dynasty army who have already reached the innate realm." Li Zheng smiled, and was very satisfied with the scene of the breakthroughs of the soldiers in front of him.

"These people will be recruited into the army and can no longer be ordinary soldiers," Li Chengqian suggested.

"The regent is wise and wise."

"These soldiers are the elite of our Great Tang. They have reached such a level through basic internal skills. They will surely be the martial arts leaders of our Great Tang in the future."

"I think so."

“They can all be entrusted with important tasks.”

"If you are an ordinary soldier, you can be promoted to above the rank of a hundred households with this cultivation."

"With seniority in the military, and promotion through cultivation."

Zheng Xuan started to speak at this time.

"I second the proposal."

After this, the promotion standards in our army may change in the future."

"In the future of our Tang Dynasty, martial arts masters will be the core of the army." Qin Jiansheng also echoed.

After truly embarking on the journey of cultivation, the ministers who were first granted the skills naturally understood the benefits of martial arts. It was not just about becoming physically strong, but also about possessing extremely powerful strength.

For example, Qin Jiansheng has reached the innate realm for a long time, and his strength is enough to easily kill hundreds of elite soldiers.

As powerful people, it is naturally very easy for them to collect medicinal herbs, and they will get more pills, so their cultivation breakthroughs will naturally be faster.

"Li Zheng, what do you think?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Zheng.

Although he is in charge of the country.

However, the specific implementation of national policies and many other matters are all subject to Li Zheng's decision. After all, it is Li Zheng who controls the world now, not in the past.

Although he was in charge of government affairs, Li Chengqian would not cross this line.

"feasible."

Li Zheng smiled and nodded: "When we recruited these soldiers to practice in the cave, we made the decision. After they join the army, we will teach them martial arts experience and thoroughly popularize martial arts throughout the army. Each of them can serve as a centurion in the army and be cultivated by our Tang Dynasty."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

All the ministers shouted in unison.

"My lords, there is still a long time. After this cave is opened, it will not be closed until the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been refined. With such manpower, we can still practice for at least ten days. My lords, don't waste it." Li Zheng smiled at his ministers.

"We understand," the ministers said in unison.

The cultivation in the cave continues.

Time flies.

soon.

Just one month has passed.

On the vast Western Ocean. The Tang Dynasty's fleet sailing to the Western Ocean has also completed their mission. They sailed to the Western Ocean several times, nominally for exchanges, but actually for spying on Western countries. Now, for the Tang Dynasty, the exploration of Western countries has come to an end. With years of spying by Li Mao and Liu Mian, the national strength, military distribution, and military strength of Western countries have all been controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore.

The fleet that sailed to the West no longer exists, and it was replaced by an elite army incorporated into the Tang Dynasty navy.

After so many years of development, the fleet sailing to the West has grown to 40,000 to 50,000 people. When combined with the Tang Dynasty navy, the navy has become even more powerful, reaching an army of 200,000.

In the West.

In the vast ocean.

A supply island controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

More than a thousand warships were lined up in various places on the island for replenishment. On the island, the Tang Dynasty soldiers coming and going were quickly transporting supplies onto the ships, and various discarded supplies were unloaded on the ramboats.

Looks very busy.

Now that the Tang Dynasty warships have completed the merger.

There were seven giant battleships.

The firepower of each ship can destroy an army of tens of thousands.

Now there are seven ships, you can imagine how powerful they are.

And there are not only giant warships like motherships, but also more than a thousand ordinary warships and troop transports of the Tang Dynasty.

They are definitely far ahead of the world.

"Your Majesty, the army has almost been assembled. We are just waiting for your order and can go out at any time."

On the huge battleship in the center, Li Kan walked up to Li Zheng and spoke respectfully.

"Have all my instructions been implemented?" Li Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready."

"The baggage prepared this time is enough for my army to use for more than half a year. This is half a year at sea. As long as the Tang Dynasty attacks and lands, plunders the money and food of the foreign races, there is no need to worry about food and grass."

"However, may I ask, Your Majesty, which country will the Tang Dynasty attack this time?"

Li Kan asked respectfully.

"There are so many Western countries, let's take care of them one by one."

"This time, I have already told the Regent that I will not be back for at least a year and a half, or at most two or three years."

"I will destroy all the Western countries, even Persia and Burma." Li Zheng said with a faint smile.

This time.

It's not just the navy that's mobilized.

Li Zheng has asked Hou Junji to lead an army of 200,000 to cooperate with Li Daozon's border troops to advance westward and attack Myanmar.

On the sea, Li Zheng will use warships to capture Western countries.

on land.

It was the ground army attack led by Hou Junji and Li Daozon.

With an army of 700,000, every day is a waste of money.

But for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's conquest, this was inevitable.

"We swear to follow the emperor until death." Li Kan said excitedly.

"I hope."

"Within twenty years, my Tang Dynasty will be able to completely conquer the world and control it."

"The Battle of the Heavens, I am looking forward to it."

Li Zheng thought with a look of longing.

in a blink.

Two years have passed.

In the Imperial Palace of Peking, there was singing and dancing.

Even the retired emperor Li Shimin, who lived in Chang'an, came to the palace.

There are lights and decorations everywhere, making it look very festive.
