Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 255 Deployment
"Forget it, everything is going on as usual! Yesterday the Goguryeo envoy Luo Yongsong stated that Silla sent [-] troops in August to capture Niangbi City on the border, and wanted Datang to persuade it to retreat. I wanted to take advantage of the war between the two countries to wait for an opportunity." .” Li Shimin waved his hand and said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, why should you rush for a while? With the speed of the Tang Dynasty's development, it will be easy to win Goguryeo in a few years! At that time, the old minister will lead the horse and put on armor for the Majesty." Xiao Yu stroked his beard and smiled.

"Silla's national strength is far from that of Goguryeo. It is definitely not an opponent. It was only because it was facing the front line of the Tang Dynasty that there were too many troops, so it was caught off guard. It should be recaptured soon. Moreover, the minister concluded that Goguryeo would not dare to attack aggressively. " Li Jing also said.

"My dear friends are right, and I understand it, but Goguryeo owes too much blood to the Central Plains. It's like a pimple in my throat, and it will last forever. I feel uncomfortable day by day." Li Shimin said unwillingly.

"The Great Tang has wiped out countries one after another, and the surrounding small countries are already frightened. They are either far away from the Great Tang, or stationed at the border. Therefore! I think it will be a stable development for two years. After they relax, they will come down with a thunderbolt." Du Ruhui reminded road.

"That's right, the countries are already trembling with fear. I'm afraid that any change in the Tang Dynasty will lead to a desperate fight. If they unite, things will be troublesome." Changsun Wuji said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Duke Zhao. Your Majesty has already thought of this. Shuofang, Youzhou, Jiannan Road, Central Shu, and Western Liaoxi all have troops, and most of the government soldiers are here. They can be armed at any time. Although the attack is difficult, the defense is still no problem. .” Li Jing, as a master tactician and minister of the Ministry of War, naturally made the arrangements.

But everyone present did not expect that it would really appear in the future...

"After the year, the Ministry of War will apply to expand the size of the navy and increase the production of warships, so that it will be easier to travel between Japan Island and Nanyang." Li Jing took out another booklet and said.

"There is no war in Nanyang Island and Nanyang. Is it necessary to expand the navy?" Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, asked.

"At present, the Nanyang controlled by Datang is the Luzon Islands, Chenla and other places. The Lingnan fleet explored the Nanyang Islands and wanted to find a sea route to the Jieri Dynasty. In a place called Brunei, they found several islands. There are all kinds of spices, countless and inexhaustible.

And there are a large number of Tu people. The weapons used by these natives are only stones and sticks, but their bodies are covered with gems and gold. The houses they live in are all made of huge nanmu and agarwood. "Feng Daiwen got up and cupped his hands, these news were obtained by Feng's fleet, but it is too difficult to rely on Lingnan to develop such a huge fat meat, and what Feng Daiwen hopes most is not a rich family, so of course he told Li Shimin.

After the discussion, the Ministry of War proposed a plan to increase troops, but Feng Daiwen only stated the actual situation.

"Goo!"

There was a sound of swallowing saliva from the main hall, and it was obvious that many people were breathing heavily.

The price of spices in the Central Plains has always been relatively expensive. Although there are many occupied areas, almost all of them are in the mountains. It is not very convenient to pick them, but the delay is different. It is only that big, and it is all over the place. Of course, there is no need to think about picking. Even if it is shipped to the Western Regions, it is also worth a lot.

"Is what Wei Guo said true?" Changsun Wuji's voice became hoarse, and his Adam's apple squirmed.

"Of course I don't dare to lie to you all! Ten boatloads of spices are on their way to Chang'an, and with one plate, they can be exchanged for a piece of gold and gemstone ornaments on the natives!" Feng Daiwen said with a habitual smile.

"The life of the Tu people is hard. In my opinion, Datang should manage them." Tang Jian said while stroking the willow beard.

"Why are you talking so politely? In my opinion, such a good place can only be owned by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tu people seized it to dig mines." Yu Chigong's chest heaved, his two bull's eyes turned red, and his black face turned purple. , said loudly, waving his hands.

He uncovered a layer of fig leaf and turned it into an aggression of Chiguoguo. Fang Xuanling said with a little embarrassment: "The Nanyang Tu people are indeed uncultivable. The aristocratic family who went to develop it reported that the Tu people on the island are very lazy. station, and the island is rich in food, there is basically no worry of starvation, so many people are unwilling to farm.”

"Since this is the case, it's better to catch more people and put them through labor reform for a few years, and they will naturally become diligent." Changsun Wuji suggested.

"Good! As the Son of Heaven, I should teach the people all over the world that the Nanyang islands also belong to the Tang Dynasty, and this unhealthy atmosphere must be changed." Li Shimin said righteously.

"Does Weiguo know what kind of country Jieri Dynasty is? Why do you want to explore his sea route?" Duan Lun, Minister of Industry, asked curiously.

"The Jieri Dynasty is a very large country, with a territory about the size of the Tang Dynasty. It's a bit like the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. There were many vassal states, and the Kunlun slaves were from there." Feng Daiwen recalled his pitifully few memories.

"Kunlun slaves? This is good. The Kunlun slaves are powerful. Honestly, they are very good laborers. I don't know how their soldiers are." Li Jing asked with interest.

"It's far from Tang Dynasty, and it is rich in gemstones, but it has a larger population and a larger place, so it is not easy to conquer." Feng Daiwen replied.

"It doesn't matter, there are 20 newborn babies in Guannei Road this year, and more than [-] are pregnant, which is four times that of last year. There will be more children born next year. After more than ten years, Datang will have enough The hands of the people went to occupy those lands." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to the wiseness of the sage, who encouraged the people to have children, so that we can have today's grand occasion." Changsun Wuji complimented with a smile.

"Throughout the dynasties, everyone has fought around the land of the Central Plains, but they don't know that there is such a huge world outside. How sad!" Xiao Yu sighed, stroking his beard and shaking his head.

"That's why we should strive to be the first to lay down enough territory for our descendants. Even if our descendants are incompetent in the future, we won't be bullied by foreign nations. This world will always be dominated by the descendants of Yan and Huang." Li Shimin raised his brows and said in a serious tone.

"The ministers are willing to join in the grand event and strive to be the first for the Tang Dynasty!" A group of people were excited by Li Shimin's words and shouted in unison.

"The world is so big, I can't see it no matter what. Guarding the Quartet requires the joint efforts of all ministers and workers. I will definitely reward those who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the future." Li Shimin wrote empty checks and said without hesitation. Xu Ruo wantonly.

"The servant waits until he dies, and he will definitely live up to the grace!" Li Shimin's words are always heart-warming, whether it is sincere or false, and there are basically diehards here, so of course they like it.
