Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

What the hell, money, it's all money!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great victory in the south!"

"General Han Xin, he defeated 32 enemy cities in a row on the [-]th, and now he has extended the frontier of our Tang Dynasty to the coastline."

"Endless money and supplies are also on the way"

Li Wenhao, who was frowning, seemed to have been injected with a booster, and he held the scout's hand tightly, his eyes were already red from being moved, a friend in need is a friend in adversity, Han Xin is giving charcoal in the snow.

Compared with those ministers who only know how to ask for money, Han Xin is simply a bright light in the dark, a guide on the sea. In other words, Han Xin's battle report fully made the entire Tang Dynasty angry.

"Your Majesty, I will take the gold first."

"Your Majesty, the ore, I took it!"

"His Majesty……"

Before the materials were brought back, they had already been divided up and cleaned up. Even the women who couldn't work were taken away by the Ministry of War to solve the marriage problems of those older youths.

"you……"

"Stop for us, I haven't seen anything yet, do you want it?"

"Your Majesty, everything that belongs to Datang belongs to you!"

Jia Xu said nonchalantly, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said.

Three months later, the resources sent back by Han Xin were exhausted, Datang began to use his capital again, and Li Wenhao began to worry about money again.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the west. They seem to be planning to march east next year."

"East Expedition?"

"In my opinion, they are going to die!"

When it comes to foreign wars, the war mongers in Datang who have benefited from the war are gearing up one by one. Even the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households look forward to it.

It seems that they have already opened their pockets, waiting for huge wealth and resources to flow into Datang.

"Your Majesty! The circulation of my Tang banknotes in Persia and the three countries in the four directions is not smooth."

"They are very crowded out of our currency and have blocked imports from our country."

"Oh?"

"Can they really hold back?"

Li Wenhao did not expect that those nobles could really bear it. Now it is very difficult for Datang's materials to be completely sold by relying on domestic sales, the Silk Road, and maritime trade.

Now the three major western countries have become Datang's main trading partners. After all, these three countries have the smallest gap with Datang in the world in terms of civilization, population base and wealth.

"Okay, since they can hold back, let's hold back too."

"Order Fan Yang Commercial Bank to prohibit all exports to Western countries from now on."

"Whoever dares to sell any material to Western countries at this time, even a grain of rice or a piece of potato, is treason and a felony of beheading."

"Today, from the beginning, I will fight a trade war with them for self-production and self-sale. Without them, we can open up other markets, but without us, they will lag behind the world."

Li Wenhao's heart was full of evil, and he suddenly made a decision.

"He Shen, tell us all the merchants in the Tang Dynasty, from now on, we will not trade with them in Western countries, whether they take gold or Tang coins."

"The Ministry of Zhongshu, send an order to the whole country. Our Tang Dynasty is now in a state of combat readiness. Everything will be carried out according to the standard of wartime. I want the imperial conquest."

"Decree to Fan Yangxue Palace that within half a year, the railway from Datang to Hujucheng must be erected."

"Send an order to my army training on the grassland, and tell them that hitting targets is not as fun as hitting people after all."

"Ready to go!"

Li Wenhao's Datang is not the later Yingjiang, and the current world is not the later world.

Now, Li Wenhao doesn't have to worry about the international situation at all, because people nowadays don't have the advanced concept of international.

And what Li Wenhao wants is this, to defeat them one by one, and let them surrender one by one under the feet of Datang, and become the targets of Datang's exploitation.

Datang wants to raise those people as pigs. While Datang masters advanced technology, he also wants to let those people live the lives of primitive people.

In this way, even if one day they can become independent, they will find that they are already too far behind Datang.

Moreover, Li Wenhao had reasons to fight.

He needs a market, a huge market, to consume Datang's overflowing products. You must know that although Datang's population is growing rapidly, it still cannot outpace its food production.

These grains can only be regarded as defective products in Datang and can only be wasted, but it will be different if they are exported to other countries.

In other words, don't say that Datang is developing fast now, but this development is based on a sufficient relationship between supply and demand. In other words, Datang is no longer an independent economy, but has become an economic entity with the West and Parallel economies of the world.

It's just that Datang has always dominated, and Datang.The whole country has a kind of enigmatic admiration for Li Wenhao.

But it's hard to say how long this kind of worship can last under such circumstances. After all, a certain person said, don't use the income of the people to measure the people's belief in the country.

Because faith is a fart in front of income, at least most people will choose money.

This is why Li Wenhao wants to launch the Western Expedition as soon as possible.

Chapter 538 Tuli's Gift

West Expedition, after Li Wenhao said these two words, instead of hesitating to launch a war, the whole court looked eager to try.

After all, they saw benefits in Han Xin's Southern Expedition, which cannot be refused.

Moreover, Li Wenhao is going to march west sooner or later, so he might as well take advantage of the unity of the people in Tang Dynasty and make a vigorous effort.

This time, Li Wenhao set a small goal for himself, at least to take down the whole of Asia. As the largest continent in the world, Datang is in the east of Asia, and Persia is in the west.

It can be said that when Li Wenhao formulated this strategy, he had already decided to fight a war based on the year.

Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Zhou Yu have already mobilized troops towards South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Tianzhu, and the real main force, Li Wenhao, has also begun to move.

Due to the West Great Wall, Li Wenhao had to bother those hard-working veterans and his cheap father-in-law, Li Jiancheng, who was left behind in Chang'an at the time, and led a group of soldiers to guard the West Great Wall.

At the same time, he is also responsible for the finishing work of the West Great Wall.

At the same time as Li Wenhao mobilized troops, the imperial decree was also issued to all armies.

The dignitaries in Fan Yangcheng's side, even the traffickers and pawns, knew that their new emperor was going to make a big move.

It is said that there are three fires for a new official to take office, but Li Wenhao's three fires were directly burned abroad.

"Hey, our son-in-law is not a master of peace. I, the father-in-law, should help him at the end!"

Tu Li said solemnly to Princess Huainan in his luxurious mansion.

"Husband, do whatever you want."

"Ok!"

Nodding, Tuli took out an exquisite small wooden box, first placed it in front of the spirit tablets of Turkic Khans, and respectfully burned incense.

"The ancestors are above, and the unfilial descendants Tuli will report."

"Today the Tang Dynasty is strong and prosperous, and our Turks have already become a part of the Great Tang Dynasty. However, the world of the Tang Dynasty wants to conquer the barbarians. I, the Turks, are willing to help them with all the strength of the Turks. I hope that the ancestors will agree."

After finishing speaking, Tuli performed three prostrations and nine kowtows, then took the wooden box and got on the carriage to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Tuli Khan asks to see you."

"Hey, what's my cheap old man doing here at this time?"

"Xuan!"

I saw Tuli wearing a grand and gorgeous costume, with a golden crown on his head that only a Turkic king could wear, and a treasured sword at his waist, walking in with heavy steps.

"I said, old man, do you want to play role-playing today?"

"Why are you so grand?"

"Go away! Open the altar and worship the heavens!"

"What?"

"I said, sacrifice to heaven!"

"Go, go, sacrifice to heaven!"

Li Wenhao was also helpless, if his father-in-law became stubborn, he would not be able to bring back a few cows, and there was one thing to say, after so many years, he and this father-in-law still had a good relationship.

After all, when he was the prince, he always ran to the old man's house when he was beaten.

"My lord, Ashinash Bobi, God knows, today, I am willing to pass on the title of Turkic Great Khan to my son-in-law, Emperor Li Wenhao of the Tang Dynasty, to testify to heaven and earth, congratulations!"

"come over!"

After speaking, he called out to Li Wenhao, who followed Tuli and knelt in front of the altar like a marionette.

"Listen, I originally thought that Turkic Khan would disappear into history, but you are too jumpy to go to the west, so I can only take out all my wealth."

"Go to Shunzhou, Yunzhou, Guangzhou, Dingzhou, and the Turkic tribes in the north of Yanmen."

"The Turkic people there are all immigrants from my East Turkic people, and they are all good fighters. If nothing else, they can easily pull out 500,000 brave warriors for you. You take my saber and this token to go Just do it."

Tuli solemnly brought the golden crown to Li Wenhao's head, and handed Li Wenhao the saber that had followed him all his life and the sign representing Turkic orthodoxy.

"Go away, let me know that you are not good to Ah Yun in the future, and I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."

"father in law!"

"Get out! I'm such a good man, how can I cry so easily, get out!"

Like a strict father, Tuli scolded angrily, but none of the courtiers objected, and even gave Tuli a thumbs up in his heart.

You know, Tuli, the khan, can mobilize 500,000 Turkic people, and these 500,000 people are his last amulet, and Ashinayun's natal family is Ashinayun's last strength.

In other words, if Li Wenhao's army goes out, the 500,000 people in Tuli may easily take down Fan Yang, and even Hebei and Guanzhong.

But Tuli didn't, he gave Li Wenhao his final family fortune.

"Old man, is there anyone among the Turks who is suitable for commanding troops?"

"If you don't worry, my adopted son, Ashina Falcon can lead troops."

"Remember, our Turkic people fight like wolves crossing the border. If we want to exert their greatest effectiveness, we need a wolf-like commander and wolf-like tactics at the same time."

"Understood, old man!"
