Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 357 Feng Daiwen's conspiracy
"Hasn't the Turks and the Khitans already surrendered and become the Khitans of the Tang Dynasty? Why does the second brother seem to dislike them?" the eldest grandson asked in confusion.

Li Shimin waved his hand and drove out all the extra servants and maids, and then said: "I originally thought the same way, since I joined Datang, of course we are a family, but Weiguo raised a different opinion, which made me deeply agree.

He said that these adults have their own ideas and concepts, and it is very difficult to change them. They still think that they are the original ethnic group in their bones. Only by educating children can they fundamentally become Tang Dynasty people. "

"That being said, these people are also loyal to fight for you, why do you want to plot against them?" the eldest grandson asked in confusion.

"This is a reasonable use. Using a large number of foreign races to fight can not only lay down more places for the Tang Dynasty, but also reduce the death of the Han people. Of course, I will not treat them badly for the contribution to the Tang Dynasty, whether it is rewards or pensions. The amount of generous.

The news came back from Liaoxi that this time, the pension for Weiguo has been increased by [-]%, and all their families have been settled to ensure that they can live comfortably. Everyone is grateful to me. Yesterday, I received a report from Zhishisili, thank you, The Turks in Liaoxi, Khitan, and Xi people are all willing to die for me. Li Shimin stroked his short beard in satisfaction and said with a smile.

On the surface, it is true that Feng Daiwen treated the Turks, the Khitan and other tribes very generously, and even the Turks themselves were very moved. In the eyes of many people, not only is their life rich, but it is a hundred times better than before. Didou, not to mention being buried in the mouth of wild beasts, can live in peace.What's more, the government treats them very well. Houses, cotton clothes, things that were unimaginable before, are now available in every household, and they only need to pay some negligible labor, and who doesn't have labor? Even their healthy women can use it. Mine mining.

Therefore, it is more natural to fight to the death for one's own homeland. No matter how hard it is, there are so many deep-seated things.

"Hey! Although I understand, I still feel uncomfortable physically and mentally!" The eldest grandson completely understood after hearing Li Shimin's explanation.

It is already conceivable that countless Turkic people and Khitan people were moved and swore to the sky to serve the country with death, and enthusiastically joined the army with a grateful heart.

And Feng Daiwen will accept them with a smile on his face, lead them to lay down cities one after another, and make countless contributions. Their families will receive many rewards and honors. Of course, many, many people will die in the process.

They will not resent, because the next generation is thriving, and everyone will be proud of being a Datang person.

"Guanyin maidservant, you have a kind heart. Of course, there is no kindness to speak of this kind of matter that is related to the survival of the nation. I know that the plan of defending the country is that after thousands of years, the descendants will benefit from it, and continue to implement it. In the Wuyi race, we will all be from the Tang Dynasty in the future, ha! haha!" Li Shimin laughed happily, with an indescribably smug expression on his face.

Recently, there have been many happy events, and all of them are big ones, which makes him very happy. He often secretly compares himself with Qin Huang, Han Wu, and finds that he is no less inferior.

"Will someone find out and hate the emperor instead?" Concubine Yang asked worriedly.

"I don't need to think too much about it. If you want to see it, you have to be a wise man, and you have to be in contact with Weiguo's administration for a long time. Even if you find out, it doesn't matter much. This is a conspiracy. They will benefit from it, but it will affect the future , Ordinary people can’t see that far, even if someone tells them that Datang is uneasy and kind, the people will not believe it, because the imperial court is really giving, haha! Haha!” Li Shimin explained, obviously very happy about this brilliant plan .

"This big victory will result in many more captives, and the emperor will have many more subjects in the future. My concubine congratulates His Majesty!" Concubine Yang was no longer worried about her son's safety in western Liaoning, she poured a glass of wine, He raised a smile and toasted Li Shimin.

"Haha! Concubine Ai is right, but it is very difficult for the captives captured this time to become Datang people, including the former Japanese slaves. If they are not assigned ranks, how can they know the noble status of Datang? The Goguryeo people have a bloody feud with the Central Plains, how can they let it go easily." Li Shimin raised his glass and drank together, laughing and said, ruling countless ethnic groups is obviously a very proud thing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Yang is the daughter of Yang Guang. Li Shimin said that she had a deep blood feud with Goguryeo, which meant that she wanted to avenge his father. His eyes were filled with tears, which was beyond words.

"My dear concubine, why be so polite, this can be regarded as my tribute to my cousin." Li Shimin comforted Concubine Yang. The cousin he was talking about was naturally Yang Guang, and according to his seniority, he should be called cousin.

"Second brother thinks it's right, it's just that this time we have dispatched so many troops, and the civilian husband is now working on an expedition. The court has enough money and food. If it is not enough, the concubine can still draw a million yuan from here." The eldest grandson expressed his concern for Li Shimin. Asked about the last book of tea.

"It's really costly this time, but the imperial court can still support it, and the western Liaoning expedition also intends to fill the imperial court." Li Shimin twitched his face and said implicitly.

He knew that his eldest grandson had made a lot of money in the past few years, and most of it was used for palace expenses, but he was still a little uncomfortable with his eldest grandson's opening up to transfer millions of guan.

"Second brother, why be polite, if not enough, there are plenty of children." The eldest grandson knew that he was saving face, so he persuaded him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this concubine also has more than 20 guan, all of which are filial to Ke'er. I don't have to worry about food and clothing in the palace, so you should take it for emergency first." Concubine Yang also persuaded on the other side.

Li Shimin's internal treasury was used to build the Longshouyuan Palace, and the national treasury has indeed consumed a lot this time, especially for half a year of preparations. It is indeed a heavy burden to prepare weapons, armor, and arrows. During this period, in order to save money, it has been done many times Discuss with Fang Du et al.

"Since that's the case, dear concubine, you can take out some of them, and I will return them to you in the future." Li Shimin blushed slightly, and said to his wives and wives with a little gratitude.

…………

Yuan Taizuo fled all the way, saw that there were no pursuers, so he stopped to re-bandage his son's wound, and saw that only a few hundred people escaped with him, he couldn't help being disheartened, leaving most of them to gather the defeated army, With dozens of personal guards, his son returned to Liaodong City.

After returning to Liaodong City, Yuan Taizuo was worried at first, worried that Datang would retaliate immediately, and he was relieved when he saw the heavy snow. At that time, he was confident that he would use the Great Wall to defend Datang.

The bamboo armor that went to the Tang Dynasty this time has opened up a lot of ideas for him, and he has more experience in defense. Moreover, Yuan Gai Suwen's injury has stabilized and started to improve, which also made him feel better.
