Chapter XXXVI Two Maps

"The glory of Datang is created by me!"

"Datang Frontier, I'll guard it!"

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, immortal!"

Shouting slogans, neat teams brushed and ran by, the soldiers were full of energy, I don't know if they could fight, but pulling out can definitely bluff people.

Li Shimin, who was in plain clothes, stood next to the high platform of the school field, and the excitement on his face could not be concealed, he had heard these slogans reported by others, but listening to the report in the main hall was completely different from listening to the scene on the school field.

The blood is tumbling in the body, and the pride is surging in the heart, this is his Datang, his soldiers, with such soldiers, why worry about sweeping the world? !

If Li Chuan knew what His Majesty Li Er was thinking, he would probably persuade him to wash and sleep, sweep the world or something, how could it be?!

With the location of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the development space is not very large, the north is too cold, Li Shimin is definitely not interested, and there are Murowei and Yan Yan to block it, there are Tubo and Tianzhu in the southwest, the East and West Turks in the northwest, and the Byzantine Empire and the Arab Empire in the distance, blocking the passage to Africa.

In Li Chuan's view, as long as Datang cleans up these small countries around it, and then consolidates its political power and develops the economy and people's livelihood, it will be very good.

In order to let Li Shimin have an intuitive feeling and understand the location and situation of the Tang Dynasty at a glance, in addition to the modern map, he prepared a general map of the Tang Dynasty to make comparisons.

With the help of the sailors, this work is almost complete.

After Li Shimin 'inspected' the soldiers, Cheng Yanjin set off with his men.

Go to the stream and ask for farming!

Officials had already communicated with Liuqiu and Luzon to rent land and pay the bills with silk and porcelain, and they were very happy.

I didn't know that Cheng Lao Pifu was secretly poking and planning to take them directly into the hands of Datang.

Delayed for more than a month, mainly to recruit farmers, Datang needs a lot of food, in order to survive Li Chuan's so-called millennium without a big locust plague, how to do it if there are fewer farmers, there are more than 20,000 farmers recruited this time, all of them are good at farming, plus more than 50,000 soldiers can also help, and they can also mobilize local people to help farm together, they buy food.

In this way, the Tang monarchs and ministers all felt that they could almost survive the locust plague.

[Little brother, you take it easy, life is precious, don't die by yourself. The Beacon Deserter lives on the verge of death every day, and he is especially unaccustomed to Li Chuan's death.

Li Chuan looked down at the map that had been completed, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of the beacon deserter.

[Li Shimin's eyes are now limited to Datang and its surroundings, but your map will let him understand how big the world is, what do you think this means for an emperor who has ambition, means and ability? 】

"What does that mean?"

[Desperate Soldiers! The Beacon Deserter is very serious, [Hitler knows, Julius Caesar knows.] 】

Li Chuan pondered, what do these two have in common?

"You mean, dictatorship?"

[Keen on war.] 】

"No, it won't." Li Chuan replied quickly, "Li Shimin is not that kind of person, his overall view does not allow him to do such a thing, besides, the Tang Dynasty governs the country with Confucianism, and fundamentally lacks the soil for dictatorship and war mania." "Okay, you decide, good luck. 】

Beacon deserter rewards a submarine!

Li Chuan looked at the two maps, the one that belonged to the Tang Dynasty had a large area of open space, both of which were borderless land, the only pity was that it was too far away to occupy it.

Packing up, rolling up the two maps, Li Chuan ran to the Chongwen Palace.

After the report, Li Chuan stepped into the hall, and then he was stunned.

The familiar faces of the important ministers are all in the main hall, is he lucky or unlucky?

The difficulty of fooling one person is not the same as fooling a group of people.

"I'm curious, you've always been able to hide, and I'll never come to the front hall unless I'm summoned, so why are you here today?" Li Shimin seemed to be smiling.

Li Chuan has a black line, why is he reluctant to come, Your Majesty Li Er, don't you have a little pressure in your heart?!

"Today, I'm here to send a map to Your Majesty." Li Chuan's words were concise and to the point.

If he knew that there were so many people, he would have come back at another time.

Under the pressure of many eyes, Li Chuan held up the two maps in his arms, and soon, Wang Dehai trotted over and took them.

The map unfolded on Li Shimin's desk, and the territory marked in red was the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin looked at it and gradually frowned, pointing to the location to the west of the Tang Dynasty, "Is this Arab Empire so big?" ”

"Yes, the great cannibals of Chang'an are actually the people of the Arab Empire." Li Chuan explained that he knew that the Tang Dynasty used to call the Arab Empire a great food.

A sudden look flashed on Li Shimin's face, as soon as he said this, he understood, but he had never thought that the territory of the Arab Empire was so large, and it was almost the same as that of the Tang Dynasty.

"These empty spaces?"

"Borderlands, where only a few natives live."

"What?" The ministers were in an uproar.

They had already come to His Majesty Li Er's side and took a look at the map, and there was a large blank space on it, so they couldn't ignore it if they wanted to.

Now that they know that those places are borderlands, these people get excited.

Li Shimin pressed his palm on the entire American continent, as if the American continent was his.

"How far are these places from Datang?" Qin Qiong took the initiative to ask.

Li Chuan was a little glad that Cheng Biting Jin had left, otherwise this guy would definitely jump out, and his shoulders would definitely be punished.

"It's far away, at least with the current transportation mode in Datang, it's hard to get to." Li Chuan's calmness contrasted strongly with the excitement of the crowd.

After getting this answer, everyone was entangled.

Looking at such a large area but not being able to occupy it, this is undoubtedly a kind of torture for the ambitious Tang Dynasty military ministers.

Li Shimin frowned tightly, his fingers traced the lines of the map, and finally just sighed slightly, and then reached out to open another map.

The map is very full, and almost all the land is occupied.

The location of Huaguo Li Chuan was also drawn with a red line, and the territory was more than twice as vast as that of Datang, which made Li Shimin's face black all of a sudden.

"This is the Central Plains after a thousand years?"

"Including the Tibetans, the Eastern Turks are also included, and even the Murwei and the Indigo are also included."

"Why isn't Goryeo here?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

Defeating Goryeo is something he has decided a long time ago, but the time is not yet ripe, and in a few years, he must use troops against Goryeo, could it be that after a thousand years, this group of incompetent descendants will still lose Goryeo? !

Li Chuan was helpless, "I didn't fight it." ”

"What?" The crowd exclaimed.

So many people died in Goryeo in the Sui Dynasty, they must avenge this revenge, but in the end, it was not defeated?

The ministers looked at each other with very solemn expressions.
