Datang all-rounder

Chapter 83

It's been a week, Wang Ke locked himself in the study, no one knew what he was doing, asked him, just smiled, but didn't explain clearly.

The whole family was aroused by his mysterious attitude and wanted to see what the hell he was up to.But every day when Wang Ke came in, he closed the door tightly. Even if a few people were outside the door and tried all kinds of means, don't let him open the door. I want to go and have a look at night, but Wang Ke is like guarding against thieves. Beware of them, you can't see anything when you go in.

In the end, the few people lost interest and didn't bother to take care of him. They all thought that when he finished, he would come out and show them.

This day finally came, when several people heard that Wang Ke called the people to go to the study and help him move his things to the car, they all hurried to the hall and waited, wanting to see what it was, but they were still disappointed , I saw that the things brought down by the servants were tightly wrapped by Wang Ke in silk and satin, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Lan Ling was not happy now, rushed to Wang Ke, pulled Wang Ke and said sweetly: "General, what is it, let us see."

Usually, when encountering such a situation, Nan Ping would hold Lan Ling to prevent her from interrupting Wang Ke.But today she also wanted to see what it was, so she just stood by and didn't move.

Looking at the time, it wasn't too early, but he also knew that if he didn't let them see it today, he probably wouldn't have a good time when he came back even if he went out.

Wang Ke was very helpless, so he had to ask the servants to put down the things and open the bundle.After several people saw it, they were all speechless. What appeared in front of them was an extremely exquisite sand table, on which the mountains, rivers, mountains, and hills were all lifelike.

At this time, Nanping couldn't bear it anymore, and asked with a puzzled look: "General, why didn't we see this thing when we entered the study? We should be able to see such a big thing!"

Wang Ke laughed and explained: "Did you forget that there is a balcony outside the study? I did it there. You only look for it in the study, where can you find it?"

Only then did a few people suddenly realize that they hadn't looked for the right place, no wonder they couldn't find it.

Dongyue didn't speak, but walked forward silently, helped Wang Ke wrap up the sand table, and stood obediently behind Nanping.

Wang Ke smiled at Dongyue and said to them: "I'm going to the palace, you can play at home by yourself."

After finishing speaking, Duo Lanling said: "Don't put your princess on air, people, don't make your family so divided." Lan Ling nodded hurriedly, showing that she knew.

Wang Ke came to the palace, fortunately, before the morning court, Wang Ke hurriedly called a few soldiers in front of the palace to carry the sand table he made into the main hall.

All the ministers were very surprised to see that the person who was most reluctant to go to the court on weekdays actually ran here on his own initiative today, and when they saw the soldiers carrying things behind, they were even more curious. It was only because Comrade Li Er was in the hall that he didn't ask immediately.

Comrade Li Er was also very strange in his heart, and asked curiously: "Why are you here today, kid? What are you carrying behind you?"

Wang Ke went up to see the ceremony and replied: "Your Majesty, let's take a look at this thing later. I have written a statement, and I ask the Emperor to read it first." Then he took out a thick stack of paper and handed it to Eunuch Yang. Here, it was forwarded to Comrade Li Er's imperial case.

Comrade Li Er casually flipped through the pages, put them aside and said, "Let's read the content after I go down to court. Tell me what you want to do first."

Wang Ke could tell that Comrade Li Er just wanted to see what he had brought, and nothing else could attract his attention, so he could only slowly say: "Your Majesty, I implore you to allow the establishment of a navy to defend the My Great Tang's ten thousand li sea frontier."

navy?As soon as Wang Ke said this, all the people present were stunned. From ancient times to the present, they have only heard of the navy, that is, cruising in the rivers and rivers to prevent the rogues from running around and committing crimes. The navy has never heard of any dynasty with Pass.

Comrade Li Er asked in puzzlement: "Why is there a navy? There is no threat from the sea. Is it necessary?"

Wang Ke knew that she was really doing the right thing in this sand table. If she just said it with her own mouth, it would be very difficult to convince these people. Even if she could, she would have to spend a lot of time talking.

Wang Ke hurriedly opened the sand table and placed it in the center of the hall.

Comrade Li Er also came down, and a group of ministers surrounded him, completely surrounding Wang Ke and the sand table.

Wang Ke cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look, my lords, this is a sand table of our Great Tang and the surrounding situation that the boy spent a few days working on. We can see that the territory of my Great Tang is the largest here, and the coastline is the largest. It is also the longest one. Now the intrusion from the land, our Tang army has never been afraid, but once there is an intrusion from the sea, since we do not have a navy, it will cause great losses to our coastal states and people. .”

As long as the military officers are in the army, they are all willing to ask for it. When Wang Ke said this, all of them began to agree, but the civil servants had different opinions.

They believe that there is no need to establish a navy now, because there is only a Japanese country on the other side of the sea, and it is also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Is it too early to spend money to establish a navy now?

Wang Ke pointed to the sand table and said: "Yes, I also admit that there is no threat from the Wa country to our Tang Dynasty now, but there is no threat now, which does not mean that there will be no future. Should we wait for others to come to our door before doing it? That At that time, I guess, the daylily is cold."

When the military officers heard Wang Ke's words, they all laughed. They felt that it was indeed a very wise choice to bring Wang Ke into the army.The civil servants asked Wang Ke to say this, but they were speechless for a long time.

After a while, Changsun Wuji said: "I think back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could shout, 'Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away. .If there is an attack from the sea, as long as he is not allowed to go ashore, what can he do."

Wang Ke disagreed with this idea, and retorted: "Why wait for others to attack us first? Why can't we rely on our strong strength, not to say that we are going to attack others, but also to deter them."

Wang Ke pointed to the sand table and said: "Besides, my Datang still has so many large and small islands in the sea, on which there are materials and crops that we don't have here, and a lot of fruits. Don’t others have the heart to snatch it?”

Wang Ke's tone of voice became a little serious. He remembered that 1000 years later, our coastal islands have become candies robbed by others, but as the master, they can only stay on the sidelines and have no part to talk.His heart is bleeding!

When he comes to this era, he wants to use his own power to let those countries that covet the land of China also taste the taste of being bullied!Let them understand that being bullied by others is a very painful thing!
Of course Wang Ke would not say what he thought in his heart, because he knew that even if he said it, others would not believe it.

Because at this time, the dwarf country next to it was not strong enough to dare to snatch others, and now they were only living under the wings of the Tang Dynasty, lingering on like savages.

Now Wang Ke can only use benefits to lure these ministers, agree with his own opinion, and then use Comrade Li Er's idea of ​​breaking the ground to make him support himself.

Wang Ke looked at Comrade Li Er, but saw that he was deep in thought, so he couldn't say anything more, so he had to wait and see what Comrade Li Er would say.

The military officers next to him all came to Wang Ke's side, and repeatedly asked Wang Ke to persuade Comrade Li Er to agree to the establishment of a navy.

Wang Ke answered them firmly that he must find a way to persuade Comrade Li Er, but he also asked them to help him at the right time, and the old killers all agreed.

There was no sound in the whole hall, so everyone's eyes were on Comrade Li Er.

However, the moods of civil servants and military officials are different. The civil servants do not want to set up a navy now, and hope that Comrade Li Er can veto Wang Ke’s proposal; I made up my mind to agree with what Wang Ke said about the establishment of a new branch of the navy.At the very least, don't object immediately, and listen to Wang Ke's reasons again, so that they can also stand up and say a few words at the right time to help Wang Ke.

Wang Ke was also extremely nervous, he didn't know what kind of decision Comrade Li Er would make.He also thought about it for a long time before doing this, and later he also considered that according to the development of history, in the next four or five years, there will be no major wars in the Great Tang Empire.Some are just some local wars, such as attacking Tuyuhun, putting this small country sandwiched between the Tang Empire and Tubo under their own rule, and using it as a buffer zone between the Tang Empire and Tubo , and the place where the troops were stationed before the Tang Dynasty's battle against Tubo.

Wang Ke hopes to use these few years to do all the necessary work in advance. After everything is ready, he can carry out continuous attacks on the surrounding countries and extend the territory of the Tang Empire to an unprecedented level. situation.

Of course, Wang Ke did not have extravagant hopes. He could help Comrade Li Er lead his soldiers to the Danube River in Europe like Genghis Khan later.He knew that it was impossible for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to be as powerful as the Mongolian cavalry in the future. He just hoped that these small countries around the current Great Tang Empire could be included in the territory of the Great Tang Empire.

However, in the depths of his heart, there was an idea that he himself did not want to admit, that is, to make the so-called Tianzhao The descendants of the Great God were all wiped out.Turn the people of the Bangzi Kingdom who have always lived on my Chinese nose into slaves of the Tang Empire, so that they dare to come to my Chinese land to learn something, and just say it was invented by their ancestors Creative.

Comrade Li Er's face was constantly changing, and the hearts of the officials also went up and down accordingly, without a moment of peace.

Finally, I heard Comrade Li Er say: "Everyone discuss it. This is not a trivial matter. I hope that all the ministers can express their thoughts."

What Comrade Li Er said obviously meant that he himself could not make up his mind, which made the civil officials feel a little disappointed, but the military officials felt a glimmer of hope.Although Comrade Li Er did not explicitly agree, it can be seen that he did not object to this proposal.

The military officers believed that Comrade Li Er could agree with Wang Ke's eloquence.

The military officer was all looking at Wang Ke, expecting him to stand up and speak, but Wang Ke was as stable as Mount Tai, standing there motionless.

Li Jing quietly moved in front of Wang Ke, and asked in a low voice, "Nephew, why don't you stand up and speak?"

Wang Ke smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, let my nephew listen to what they have to say, so that you can know yourself and the enemy, and you will win every battle."

Li Jing gave Wang Ke a thumbs-up and said, "It's better for you to hold your breath. You are a general, and we can rest assured that the army will be handed over to you in the future!"

Wang Ke hurriedly whispered modestly: "Uncle, don't say that. My nephew just doesn't know what they are going to say, and I don't know how to deal with it. Uncle, don't lift my nephew so high, it will hurt badly when I fall."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and stood quietly, looking at the civil servant, to see what they were going to say.

At this moment, the civil servants are getting together to discuss how to present their opinions to Comrade Li Er.

Seeing that no one from the two lineups stood up, Comrade Li Er unconsciously asked, "Why didn't anyone say anything? I said it, so just say what you have. It doesn't matter even if you say something wrong. You can just say it. "

When Wang Ke saw Fang Xuanling looking towards their military, his heart tightened for no reason. He knew that once this resourceful person stood up to speak, it would be difficult for his side to refute. .After all, the old killers here are all good at fighting, and they are no worse than anyone else, but if you want to tell the facts and reason, there are not many people who can do it.

But he came here for whatever he was afraid of. Sure enough, it was Mr. Fang who stood up. Li Jing might have thought of this too, and looked at Wang Ke with a worried look in his eyes.

But Fang Xuanling cupped his hands to Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that this proposal of Mr. Xiao Wang is not bad, but very good. It can be called a strategic plan. It's just..."

As soon as Wang Ke heard that Mr. Fang praised himself as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that there was nothing good. Sure enough, as soon as he said "but", Wang Ke knew that he was coming, and immediately listened attentively to see what he had to say. refute.

I only heard Fang Xuanling say: "However, now I have just used troops against the Turks in the court. There is not much money and food in the court, and a series of reforms are also going on. I think Lord Xiao Wang knows about these. Based on the current situation of my court In view of the situation, does it seem a little hasty to form the navy immediately? Therefore, the ministers think that the establishment of the navy should be done slowly, and we will talk about it later."

Fang Xuanling's words were reasonable and restrained, and sounded impeccable.

But it was Wang Ke who he ran into. Wang Ke had already thought about this problem and found a way to deal with it. He immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Fang said is very reasonable. The situation in my court is also very reasonable. It's exactly the same as Mr. Fang said. But..."

Wang Ke also said "but", but he didn't continue directly, but turned to Fang Xuanling and said: "If the boy said something, there is no place to offend Mr. Fang, please forgive Mr. Fang. Boy It’s just about the matter and not about the person, the boy still respects Mr. Fang’s behavior, but for my Datang, the boy can only speak bluntly.”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Master Xiao Wang, just say what you want, Fang is not the kind of person with a small belly."

Wang Ke bowed to Fang Xuanling, and then continued what he said just now: "However, Mr. Fang is not a soldier, and he can only consider the stability of the court. But for us soldiers, or let's put it another way, if we We didn’t form a navy and only focused on internal production. At this moment, the enemy is coming, so what should we do? Production can’t be completed either. In this way, it’s not good for both sides, and everything is delayed?”

When Wang Ke said this, he glanced at the civil servants, and saw someone eager to speak out, but he didn't stop, and then said: "Besides, the formation of the navy is not a matter of one day. We have to choose first. The place where the ship is docked needs to be built and the soldiers trained. These have to be done one by one. It takes at least two years to complete the selection of the place where the ship is docked. At that time, I thought, I should have enough money and food! At that time, wouldn’t it be very suitable to build ships and train soldiers?”

As soon as Wang Ke finished speaking, the few people among the civil servants who wanted to jump out and say a few words just now stopped moving, because what Wang Ke said had already blocked what they wanted to say, and if they came out to say something at this time, it would be too late. It doesn't make any sense anymore.

At this time, Li Jing saw that no one from the civil servants stood up, so he hurried out and said, "Lord Xiao Wang has already explained the truth very clearly, and I don't want to repeat it here. Master Fang stood at a different angle. Seeing The problem is definitely different. However, Mr. Wang has considered the problem comprehensively. He not only considered the problem from the standpoint of the army, but also changed his perspective. Therefore, the old man thinks that Mr. Wang’s suggestion is feasible and should be started immediately. conduct."

Li Jing's words seemed to be making peace at first, but the following few sentences confirmed that what Wang Ke said was correct.Now on the military side, Li Jing, who speaks the most, has come out to express his attitude, and the civil servants are a little bit hard to say anything. After all, in the current court, the words of the army can still attract Comrade Li Er's attention.

After a moment of silence, Du Ruhui stood up. Wang Ke understood that it was time to make a decision. Although he seldom went to court, he also knew from Wang Si's daily chats with himself that if there was anything to do with civil servants, he would usually go to court. It was Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling who spoke out first, and Du Ruhui was the last to speak out about their decision.

Now is one such moment.

Wang Ke heard Du Ruhui say: "Your Majesty, after listening to Mr. Xiao Wang's words, I feel that Mr. Wang is very considerate, and Mr. Wang's suggestion should be carried out. It's just that Mr. Wang is only thinking about the army, isn't it too much?" Qu Cai, in the future, this political affairs will require Mr. Xiao Wang to participate more."

When Wang Ke heard it, it can be said that there was a mixture of sadness and joy.The happy thing is that my proposal seems to have been passed, but the sad thing is that I found myself another difficult errand, and put myself in another thing that I didn't want to get involved with.

Comrade Li Er saw that the two sides have now unified their opinions, and regardless of Wang Ke's current mood, he said: "Since everyone thinks it should be done, let's start doing it. This is handed over to the Ministry of War. Boys of the Wang family discuss it more, and if you want to do it, do it right once."

Comrade Li Er said to Wang Ke after finishing speaking: "Du Aiqing also said it just now, and I think it is very right. In the future, you really need to participate in political affairs more, don't just think about the army, you should think more about the affairs of the court. "

Wang Ke knew that it was useless to say anything now, so she stepped forward and said: "The emperor and all the adults value Ke so much, which makes Ke feel ashamed. Ke Wei learns from all the adults and relieves the emperor's worries. It's just as if What did Ke do wrong, please don't blame the emperor, and don't scold me, my lords."

Comrade Li Er said with a smile: "No. Isn't there so many Aiqing watching? I just want you to participate more. You can just express your thoughts and let them refer to them. The specific things are still for them manage."

Only then did Wang Ke heave a sigh of relief. Comrade Li Er said this to tell others that Wang Ke was just making suggestions, expressing his thoughts, and specific decisions had to be made by them before reporting to Comrade Li Er. , and he will make the final decision.In this way, Wang Ke doesn't have to bear any responsibility, and Wang Ke hastily said yes.

Comrade Li Er stood up and said: "Okay, today's business is over. I am also a little tired, so let's do it. The Ministry of War must hurry up and carry out the mission."

Eunuch Yang hurriedly shouted loudly: "Retire."

After kneeling to send Comrade Li Er to leave, Wang Ke was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Jing.

Wang Ke sighed, he knew that he couldn't go home now.Ask someone to carry the sand table, follow Li Jing, obediently come to the Ministry of War, and study together with the people in the Ministry of War, where the docking places for ships can be built.

After the approximate location is selected, it is best to send people to conduct on-the-spot inspections.
