Chapter 195: Lingzhou Leshi (2)
There were two more war reports on the road, and Feng Ling got the experience of the last time, and as soon as there was a movement of the rush to report, he hurriedly got out of the car and ran straight to the royal car, so there was no mistake in the next two battle reports. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Teach her to be glad that the two times they came were good news, the first battle report showed that the Xuanjia Army lived up to expectations, brave as a tiger, and rushed straight into the Awada formation, disrupting the formation, exposing the weakness to the Tang Army. Immediately after that, Xue Wanche's army took advantage of the situation to press, and won a complete victory in the first battle.
The wind spirit still lowered his head and grinded the cinnabar, hiding a smile at the corner of his lips in the shadows, and even the color of the cinnabar was extremely bright red.
Li Shimin was in a very good mood, and smiled at Feng Ling and said, "How is it?" Are you still worried about your father-in-law? ”
Feng Ling put down the cinnabar terminal and saluted him: "Your Majesty is shaking the world, and my Tang army bears the power of the Son of Heaven, and is naturally invincible." ”
Li Shimin laughed a few times and ordered to move faster so that he could arrive in Lingzhou as soon as possible. But after days of driving and driving, his face turned a little pale.
"Isn't it good that Your Majesty is sitting in Chang'an waiting for the prisoners to be sacrificed? Why do you have to travel all the way to this wild place? Feng Ling looked at the yellow earth outside the car, which was getting more and more desolate, and quietly looked at Li Shimin's pale face.
Li Shimin was rejoicing at the moment, so he simply removed the report on the case in front of him, and casually pulled over a yellowish sheepskin, which was stained with ink and ink, and the painting was the northern territory of the Tang Dynasty.
He spread out his palm, stroked every inch of the northern frontier, and clicked a few places on the sheepskin: "You come to look at these places, what might you see?" ”
Feng Ling stepped forward to see a few places he pointed out, one was Jingyang, one was Longshan Pass, and finally pointed to Lingzhou, and beyond Lingzhou was Mobei Saiwai. She looked at the three points, and she couldn't see anything famous, and when she turned her head and looked again, she still didn't understand the point.
Li Shimin pulled the sheepskin a few inches away and said, "Look farther, look around." I'll take you a test, what is Jingyang called in the Han Dynasty? ”
Feng Ling leaned back, her eyes spread over the whole sheepskin, and the three points that she had just pointed out seemed to be particularly prominent on it, and she suddenly suddenly said: "Jingyang's old name is Anding County, which is the primary town to resist the north. There is a large grassland behind Longshan Pass, which can raise horses to prepare for war. Lingzhou is the last town leading to Mobei Pass, just like Dunhuang City is to the western Xinjiang. ”
"Very clear." Li Shimin did not hesitate to praise him, as if he was teaching his own children, and encouraged her to go on.
Feng Ling shook his head suddenly: "I can't do it anymore, I just know that those few places are all important places in the north, and I can't see anything from the side." Her gaze fell on the large open space behind Longshan Pass, and she smiled: "If you want me to say, if that place is rich in water and grass, there are many cattle, horses and sheep, and Beiyi all live on nomadic herding, it is better to set up more livestock trading businesses in Lingzhou City to encourage trade." Beiyi is a livelihood, and they will be diligent in free-range, and when their lives are better, they naturally want to raise more cattle and horses to sell, and their minds are all on shepherding, who else is willing to plunder and live? And when the war is all together, and no one comes to buy their cattle, sheep and livestock, who is willing to cut himself off like this. As far as my Datang is concerned, there are abundant cattle and sheep, and horses are used to fill the war horses, which means that even the military expenditure has been saved a lot, and it can be counted in one fell swoop. ”
After finishing speaking, she peeked at it and quietly stuck out her tongue: "Sage don't laugh, Feng Lingyuan is a small businessman in the market, and he can only see money and silk in his eyes, and he doesn't know how to see the overall situation." ”
Li Shimin was slightly stunned, as if he was seriously appreciating the border town she depicted, and then couldn't help nodding, and then smiled half-seriously and half-teasingly: "I'll ask Tang Jian from the Ministry of Civil Affairs another day if they are willing to accept the maid." ”
The wind spirit laughed again, and had to say something humble. Seeing that Li Shimin was in a good mood, his face became decent, he was happy for a while, and picked up some naughty words, which made him laugh.
Li Shimin stretched out his finger and tapped a few times in Jingyang: "This Han is called Anding County, and since ancient times, this city has been peaceful, and the northern Xinjiang has been determined." At the beginning of the Gaozu uprising, in order not to disturb foreign enemies, he paid tribute to Donghu here every year. Now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, I want to be worshiped by the eleven surnamed tribes here, one is to show the determination to stabilize the northern Xinjiang, and the other is to show the national strength and wash away the shame. ”
Feng Ling nodded clearly, pointed to Longshan Pass, and followed his words to explain: "There is a pass fortress here, and only one road can pass through the pass. When the defenders of the pass saw the Son of Heaven coming, they must know that this pass is very important, and they must defend it carefully with 120,000 points, and when they see the Son of Heaven, their morale will be greatly boosted. Am I right? ”
"Roughly right." Li Shimin moved his finger to Lingzhou, "I originally planned to increase the number of soldiers in Lingzhou City, but just now you said about the exchange of trade, but you want to teach me to think about it again." ”
Feng Ling hurriedly waved his hand: "Feng Ling is short-sighted, he only knows profit, and he never dares to influence the holy will." ”
Li Shimin smiled at her disapprovingly, and then revealed the matter without mentioning it, but his heart stirred up some past events.
In the past, when the Tang Dynasty was first decided, when he was still the king of Qin, his most powerful adviser had advised him several times that he would become a great treasure day by day, and do not forget to encourage trade and business, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and business is the benefit of the country. Now it seems that fortunately, his words have not been forgotten. In recent years, this initial dynasty has been fighting in the east and west, and the trend of hegemony has gradually become a trend.
Li Shimin thanked silently in his heart: Although Du Qing has been dead for many years, I still receive the favor of Qing to this day, I don't know if this smart and business-friendly girl sent help in the dark. If this is the case, I will not be able to repay the gratitude I owe to Du Qing in this life.
He kneaded all those muddy past thoughts together, and turned them into a long sigh: "Keming is gone, I can't wait to take a look at this Zhenguan prosperous world that he has painstakingly paved." ”
Feng Ling secretly swallowed her saliva, and on the way into the palace, she glanced at the barren and bleak Cai Guogong Mansion from the car. She couldn't understand why the sage was so grateful that he still refused to let go of the two sons he left behind, and confiscated the once-prominent Cai Guo Mansion.
She suddenly remembered what she had warned when she visited her at night: Even if the saint is full of grace, if he touches the imperial power, his blood and relatives cannot give it up. It seems that this is true, and there are also forbidden rumors in the market, saying that the saint killed his eldest brother and brother in Xuanwu Gate and imprisoned Gaozu in Hongyi Palace before seizing the throne.
Feng Ling peeked at Li Shimin, I don't know if it was the increasingly powerful Tang Dynasty, or the recurrence of old diseases one after another, which pressed his shoulders and back a little bent, as if the fierce qi had already been ground into a harmonious curve, adding kindness and tranquility. She couldn't connect the overlord who was on the battlefield of blood, imprisoned her father and killed her brother, with the saint who was as generous as a loving father in front of her.
