Li Shimin closed his eyes for a long time before he said quietly: "Tell me, what is the reason for the failure?" ”

"The reasons for the failure are very complex, and in summary, it is probably that when the sky is not right, the earth is not good, and people are even more incompatible." Li Chuan frowned, trying to recall the historical knowledge that had been made up a few days ago, "One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, the war delay is too long, and it is even more unsuitable for war in winter, so I had to withdraw from the army, and it seems that I encountered some difficulties when I retreated, and many people died." ”

"The first time I failed, I haven't tried again?" Li Shimin felt that this was not in line with his character.

Li Chuan sighed helplessly, "I tried, I fought three times in total, and I failed." ”

[Little brother, it doesn't seem right for you to say that, the third time there was not much fighting, Li Shimin died, and Goguryeo was finally destroyed by Tang Gaozong, so it is not right to say that it was not defeated. Mo Lianhua didn't know when she came, but apparently, she had been watching it for a long time.

Li Chuan was surprised, is this the case? It seems that his history is incomplete.

"That was when Goguryeo returned to the kingdom again?"

[Not counting the restoration of the country, there has been restlessness over there, and then who was it, emmm forgot, anyway, it was a person who established Goryeo, not the original Goguryeo. 】

Li Chuan understood, which meant that Tang Gaozong fought down, but it didn't take long for the other side to rebel again, rounding it up, just like if it hadn't been defeated.

The hall was quiet, everyone was silent, and Li Chuan didn't dare to poke Li Shimin's heart again, for fear that he would be beaten again if he got angry.

[In fact, Li Shimin's expedition to Goryeo turned out to be a failure, but looking at the process in detail, he won a lot of battles, but he couldn't reach the level of crushing, and he had to withdraw his troops as soon as winter came, it can be said that if it wasn't for the cold weather, Goguryeo would have died a long time ago. 】

Li Chuan squinted and thought for a while, and said abruptly: "In fact, if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can adapt to the winter battle, it will solve the problem." ”

Li Shimin raised his eyes to look at him, "Tell me in detail." ”

"The main thing is the weather, whether it is Goguryeo or Tubo, it is very cold in winter, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can't stand it, and their combat effectiveness declines, even if they don't fight, in that kind of weather, they will also be injured and sick, but this problem is not unsolvable."

"Your Majesty, the county magistrate of Jingyang is right, at that time, the northernmost places were inhabited." Fang Xuanling reminded that he had just looked at the map, and he was deeply impressed by this.

"Oh, yes." Li Shimin suddenly said, "How did you keep out the cold at that time?" ”

"There are many methods, such as cotton, wool, and duck down, which can be used to make clothes, and the clothes made are light and warm, and they are the most suitable for winter wear."

"What is cotton?" Li Shimin knew about wool and duck down, it must be the fluff on the duck, but he had never heard of cotton.

"It's a plant that blooms like a cloud." Li Chuan said with a strange expression: "I think I should be able to find it in the Imperial Garden." ”

Before the Song Dynasty, cotton was used as an ornamental plant.

"I've seen it." Li Shimin nodded calmly, and planned to go to the Imperial Garden to have a look later.

"Then you'll leave the garment making to you."

Li Chuan spread his hands, "The minister can't help it, there is no material, and the minister can't make cotton clothes." ”

The production of cotton is scarce, and it would be good to be able to arm these masters and important ministers in the palace, as for the eiderdown, without the right cloth to block it, the clothes made must not be like a sieve, and the eiderdown will leak out in a few days.

"Your Majesty, what is more suitable for the Tang Dynasty now is wool clothing."

Li Shimin: "......"

So you still have to buy sheep, right? Why can't this kid get along with the sheep?

"Okay, then buy sheep." Li Shimin gritted his teeth and responded.

"Lots of sheep." Li Chuan also added.

Li Shimin glanced at him, and he still needed to say that there were so many soldiers, but they didn't get a lot of sheep.

"It seems that the Eastern Turks must take it as soon as possible, and that pasture is best used to raise sheep." Qin Qiong's consideration is always war.

So this guy is a war maniac, right? It's just that he's dressed in an elegant disguise.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Li Daozong, who didn't speak much, followed.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood up together and said, "Your Majesty, Datang still needs time to prepare. ”

Li Shimin waved his hand, "I know, I am ready now, and when the time is right, I will send troops." ”

"Little sister, do you know when Li Shimin caught Jieli?"

[Zhenguan for three years, that is, next year. 】

Well, that's really a need to be prepared.

After solving the small episode, Li Shimin fell on the map again, looked at the country that was full of stuffed after a thousand years, and looked at the large open space now, his heart was like a kitten scratching all the time, tickling his heart.

"Is there really no way to get to these places?" Li Shimin rubbed the American continent and occasionally lit the land of Australia.

"Yes, you need a big ship, if you really want to go, the shipbuilding technology needs to be improved, and those places are only indigenous, that is, very primitive, of course, there are a lot of good things, such as spices, such as gold and silver mines, all kinds of mines, and so on." Li Chuan also wanted to go to the Americas and bring back potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and so on, by the way, and rubber he also needed it.

"Boat?" Li Shimin frowned and stroked his beard.

Li Chuan glanced at it, just those few beards, and he still brushed them, and then they were gone.

"Your Majesty, this matter can be discussed in the long run." Fang Xuanling stepped forward and suggested.

Datang needs to do too much at the moment, and it can't take care of building ships and going to sea for the time being.

What's more, they don't have the money to build ships!

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, nodded unwillingly, and glared at Li Chuan hatefully, it was this kid who drew a big cake for him with a map, but he couldn't eat it, and he was angry!

Li Chuan was stared at very innocently, and he didn't know what His Majesty Li Er was doing here.

Anyway, his goal has been achieved, and it is time to withdraw.

"Daozong, you take that kid and let him know more about Datang."

After Li Chuan slipped away and the ministers dispersed, Li Shimin only left Li Daozong alone.

"He's your junior anyway."

"Your Majesty, this kid always can't get to the point, so it's better to force him." Li Daozong attaches more importance to the continuation of the Li Tang Dynasty, but Li Chuan has always avoided saying it, and he is a little anxious.

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you know it or not, the moment he arrives in Datang, everything is already different." ”

Yuan Tiangang said that the trajectory of everything has changed, and the future is unknown, so where Datang will go, whether it will really last for a thousand years, or die in a hundred years, depends on their efforts.
