Capital Datang

Li Yin's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Gong's words, he also had the same plan as Chen Gong, and he also thought of a way to raise an army, but he didn't know if the other party thought of the same way as he thought of?

"Mr. Chen, what can you do to raise an elite army in a short time?" Li Yin asked enthusiastically.

Hearing Li Yin addressing himself from 'President Chen' to 'Mr. Chen', Chen Gong's eyes flashed with color, and he immediately said: "His Royal Highness, the method of my minister is very simple. That is turning slaves into soldiers!"

"Turning slaves into soldiers?" Li Yin was taken aback when he heard this, and after careful consideration, he immediately understood that Chen Gong had come up with this idea. Although this method was different from what he had thought of, I have to say that it was true. is a good way.

Next, Chen Gong explained in detail that the so-called transformation of slaves into soldiers is actually to train captured slaves into an army, and Chen Gong also specifically pointed out that the Kunlun slaves from the far west are actually African slaves. Black people should be trained into the army instead of the natives of Nanyang. In fact, the natives of Nanyang were also called Kunlun slaves in the past, but they were gentle and cowardly, and they were not suitable for soldiers at all. African blacks were more fierce. Moreover, their faces are more ferocious. If they are used as soldiers to charge, the momentum alone will be able to take the lead.Capital Datang 347

After hearing this, Li Yin clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Chen is worthy of being a pillar, but as far as I know, the number of Kunlun slaves does not seem to be very large. If you want to train into an army, I am afraid it will take some time to collect them. Bar?"

"His Royal Highness does not know that the maritime trade has developed rapidly in recent years, and there are many domestic merchants. Sea ships are also more excellent, so many maritime merchants carry goods overseas. There are even Many arrived at Dashi, and there are many Kunlun slaves there. So during this period of time, many sea merchants have brought back a large number of Kunlun slaves, but slaves are also rare and expensive. In the past, Kunlun slaves It’s rare, but the price is expensive, and now suddenly it’s more, but it’s hard to sell.” Chen Gong was even more happy when he heard Li Yin’s praise, and bowed again and said.

Li Yin was also very interested when he heard it.He asked eagerly again: "As far as Mr. Chen knows, how many slaves can we buy this time?"

"His Royal Highness, as far as I know, there are more than 6000 Kunlun slaves in Keelung alone. If you add the Kunlun slaves in Guangzhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou and other places, there should be no more than [-] to [-]. Question, besides, I also heard that when the Japanese supported Baekje, they sent an army to Silla, but the result was anger and resentment. That is to say, His Highness can organize another army composed of Silla people. By then The two armies are the vanguard, and the army of the Qi Palace will be delayed, and it will be easy to destroy the Wa Kingdom!" Chen Gong said here.A sinister smile was all over his face.

After hearing this, Li Yin couldn't help but look at Chen Gong carefully, thinking that he really deserves to be a scholar.There is really a lot of bad water in this stomach, but he likes this method.Those African blacks are not good stubble, most of them are from primitive tribes, shouting and screaming during battle, coupled with their vicious looks, can indeed play a leading role.As for sending Silla people to the Japanese country, this is more to Li Yin's appetite. He didn't like to see the peninsula people and Japanese people, but now he can let them eat dogs, and Li Yin is naturally happy to watch the fun.

Thinking of this, Li Yin patted Chen Gong on the shoulder excitedly and said: "Mr. Chen, this is a great plan. It seems that my uncle was right at the beginning." "Of course, you are right, you really have the talent to stabilize the country, and now the Keelung administration You are already on the right track, and it would be a waste of talent for you to sit in a small inspectorate. This time, after we return to Keelung, you should immediately discuss with Cui Wei and recommend someone who can replace you. As for you, Mr. Chen, Just stay with me for the time being, and I will definitely use this king after the Wa country is brought down!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation!" Chen Gong was also secretly pleased. Although the position of the Inspectorate is also very important, he doesn't like to do this kind of boring work. .

After returning to Keelung, Li Yin dealt with everything as soon as possible, and then transferred Chen Gong to his side.Empress Xiao and Concubine Yang also knew that Li Yin had something urgent to deal with, so they didn't plan to stay in Taiwan any longer, instead they urged Li Yin to go back to Dengzhou.For the kindness of the two elders, Li Yin did not refuse, and set off immediately after making arrangements. This time, there was only the Wangfu's fleet, and the speed was much faster.

However, it is worth mentioning that although Chen Gong was transferred to Li Yin's side, he did not go with him this time. Instead, he bought all the Kunlun slaves in Taiwan, and then went south to Guangzhou and other places to buy the backlog of Kunlun slaves. , and then sent directly to Sibi City for training by Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui who were still there.

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, a war will surely lead to death. You have just conquered Silla and Baekje, and now you want to use troops against Japan. Although the palace has plenty of property, it cannot afford such consumption!" , Zhao Fu persuaded loudly with a sad face.

The first thing Li Yin did when he returned to Dengzhou was to find Zhao Fu and ask him to organize food, grass, military equipment, etc., and prepare for war, but he didn't expect Zhao Fu to hear that Li Yin was going to attack the Japanese country, and set up the "Capital Datang" Chapter 340 Seven Wars That Don’t Cost Money” immediately began to dissuade. The main reason is that Li Yin has just wiped out Silla and Baekje, and he hasn’t even fully established himself. If he launches troops against Japan now, he will only find himself It is troublesome, and it is also a huge burden to align the property of the palace.

When Li Yin heard this, he said helplessly: "Biejia Zhao, you also know the reason for the conquest of the Wa Kingdom this time. Gunpowder is the country's most important weapon, and it is absolutely not allowed to be controlled by the small countries of the Fanbang. Since the Wa Kingdom dares to risk the power of the world, If it’s too bad, then be prepared to pay the price!”

"Your Highness, gunpowder is indeed important, but you can report this matter to the imperial court and let the imperial court send a large army to destroy the country. Thinking that the Japanese country lives overseas, and your majesty loves you, if your majesty wants to If you want Wa Kingdom, you can ask His Majesty for it, and His Majesty will definitely not refuse, so Your Highness will save a lot of energy?" Zhao Fu also put forward his own ideas.

It's just that Li Yin smiled bitterly in his heart after hearing this. Zhao Fu is different from Chen Gong. Although they are both his subordinates, Zhao Fu is still an official of the Tang Dynasty. I had to say: "Bie Zhao, since this king has decided to expand overseas, even though I have my father as my backing, I don't want to bother my father for everything. As long as I can do it, I must do it myself. Besides, Royal Father is currently using troops on the northern grasslands and guarding against the Western Turks, and the troops are not sufficient, so I don't want to trouble Royal Father at this time!"

"This..." Zhao Fu was finally shaken after hearing this. He knew about Datang's mobilization of troops on the grassland. The main reason was that Datang wanted to build cement roads on the grassland. There are changes on the grassland, and Datang's troops will be able to arrive immediately. Coupled with the garrison in the Acropolis, it can be said that as long as this plan is completed, the northern grassland "capital of Datang" will be completely in the hands of Datang.As for the Western Turks, it is an old opponent and cannot relax at any time.

In fact, Li Yin knew that Zhao Fu was also thinking of himself. After all, although he was not a true confidant, he was one of Li Yin's right-hand men. If he had the opportunity in the future, he could take Zhao Fu away from Dengzhou.

Thinking of this, Li Yin showed a mysterious smile and said again: "Biejia Zhao, in fact, I have already made a plan for this battle of the Japanese kingdom, and it doesn't cost us a penny from the Qi Palace. Now you want to All we have to do is to prepare food, grass and equipment, and then someone will pay us the bill!"

"No... don't spend money?" Zhao Fu was stunned in surprise. He really didn't expect Li Yin to say such a thing. If he didn't know Li Yin's character well, he really had to consider whether the person in front of him was a person. madman?

"Hey, that's right, not only will someone help us pay the bills, but we don't even need to spend too much manpower. In addition to a slave army that is being prepared, I will also transfer some Silla people. These two armies are not Even if all the direct descendants of the palace are dead, I don’t feel sad, but after that, I still have one secret weapon that I haven’t used, and it’s time to use them.” When Li Yin mentioned the secret weapon, his face There is also a look of expectation.Capital Datang 347

When Zhao Fu heard the secret weapon mentioned by Li Yin, his face was first confused, and then shocked.As one of Li Yin's most important assistants, Zhao Fu knows no less secrets than anyone else. He has also heard some rumors about the secret weapon Li Yin mentioned. If the other party is really as terrifying as the legend says, then sweep away Wa country is really not a difficult task.

Thinking" At this point, Zhao Fu finally stopped objecting, and discussed some specific matters with Li Yin, and then he was about to leave the Qi Palace, but he turned around and took a few steps, but he seemed to think of something again, He stopped, turned around and said to Li Yin: "Your Highness, when Weichen came, Yifan asked me to tell you that the steamboat is ready for sea trial. If Your Highness is interested, you can take a ride."

"So fast?" Li Yin was so excited that he almost jumped up. After the successful development of the steamship, among other things, the speed of sea transportation can be increased several times. In seven or eight days, if a steamship is used, it is estimated that it will only take two or three days to arrive. In this way, the transportation cost alone can be reduced several times.

However, seeing Li Yin's excited look, Zhao Fu showed a wry smile and said, "Your Highness, in order to develop this steamship, Yifan has not had a good rest since last year, and now it has finally been successfully developed. Can you let me How many days does she have a good rest?"

Li Yin felt a little ashamed when he heard that, he knew the importance of a talent like Yifan better than anyone else, but in order to put the steam engine into practical use as soon as possible, Yifan didn't even rest for a day, and now the ship was also built, No matter what this time, Yifan should take a good rest.
