Gu Han opened the box, took out several thick books from inside, and put them in front of Tan Daozhen.

Tan Daozhen picked up the Tang Dynasty military drill book as thick as a brick, and his hands trembled slightly, it was just a book on how to train soldiers, how could it be so thick?

Although he was not like his brother who had been a jinshi in the Tang Dynasty, he was definitely erudite and talented, and he naturally read a lot of military books, especially after returning to China, he began to lead troops to fight, and he tried every means to collect relevant books to study, but there has never been a military book that has such a thickness.

Flipping through the catalog, I just glanced at it a few times, and my breath became a little heavy.

He closed the book suddenly, looked at Gu Han and said, "Is this really for me?" ”

"Of course!" Gu Han smiled: "Actually, this is not a secret in Datang. Anyone who has a way can get it. ”

"Thank you!" Although Gu Han said this, Tan Daozhen still saluted Gu Han very seriously: "Please thank General Wen on my behalf." ”

Gu Han waved his hand, but pointed to the books in the Nongshu Minutes, and said meaningfully: "General Tan, in fact, I think that these books are probably much more important to Goryeo than this military drill book that you value." ”

"I know, I know, I'm not going to put the cart before the horse." Tan Daozhen nodded again and again.

Gu Han smiled slightly, even if you really studied this military drill book thoroughly, what could you do? It's one thing to understand, it's another thing to be able to actually implement it.

I'm afraid that the more thoroughly Tan Daozhen researches, the more painful it will be in the future!

He will truly understand that the gap in strength between Goryeo and Datang is even greater than he imagined, to the point of despair.

This may be the real intention of Wenfu to give him this book, which is still a secret book in Datang. A person in a high position realized that when this huge gap is not possible to make up for it in a short period of time, the fear of Datang will be deep in his bones.

At that time, he may become a big man in Goryeo who is willing to follow the Tang Dynasty. This will be a powerful constraint on some ambitious adventurists in Goryeo at that time.

Well, General Wen should not have such a far-sighted plan, either Mr. Gongsun or Li Xiang himself would think so far.

Since the Tang Dynasty is not ready to directly bring Goryeo under its direct jurisdiction, it is necessary to consider the future strategy of restraint, and it is a necessary choice to cultivate some Goryeo bigwigs who are pro-Tang or afraid of the Tang Dynasty.

Gu Han took out another brocade from the box, and after shaking it open, it made Tan Daozhen's face solemn again. This is a pair of embroidery, embroidery is not unusual, but on top of this embroidery, it is embroidered the territory map of the Tang Dynasty and Goryeo.

He stared at it for a long time before he whispered, "Is this what Li Xiang meant in the end?" ”

Gu Han nodded: "Yes, from now on, what is within this yellow line is the inviolable territory of the gods of Goryeo, but if anyone wants to be unfavorable to you, Datang will also think it is an offense to Datang." ”

Tan Daozhen took a deep breath: "However, Yingzhou was also our ruling area before, and it was snatched away by Zhang Zhongwu. ”

Gu Han didn't speak, just stared at Tan Daozhen, but his eyes were a little colder.

Tan Daozhen sat down slowly, lowered his head, his eyebrows and eyes were twisted together, looking extremely painful, and after a while, he nodded: "I understand what Li Xiang means." As far as I'm concerned, I don't have any opinions. Anyway, in the past, Yingzhou was only nominally under our rule, and it was full of bandits, Yi tribes, and savages, and we never really controlled that land. It's just that even if my brother and I approve of it, the king may not approve of it. You also know that in Goryeo, if my brother supports something, the king's line is likely to oppose it. ”

Gu Han smiled, put the embroidery roll in his hand back into the box, and sat opposite Tan Daozhen, "This is also the point of my next conversation with General Tan." Earlier, I couldn't say much because Yi Xiang didn't set the real political structure for the future of Goryeo, but this time, I have been given a clear mandate to talk to you officially. ”

"Lee Sang-sang set the political structure of our Goryeo?" Tan Daozhen raised his head, his face full of incredulity. "Li Xiang said that he will not interfere in China's internal affairs."

"Yes." Gu Han said bluntly: "General Tan, but with all due respect, this time we drove Zhang Zhongwu's forces out of Goryeo, and your line, and the king's line, are still incompatible, do you still have to fight to the death like before?" Although the king's family is indeed not your opponent without Zhang Zhongwu's support, you are not sure that you will kill them all? And. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Han paused for a moment before he said heavily: "Li Xiang will not allow such a thing to happen." ”

"What is Li Xiang going to do?"

Gu Han said: "The king will always be the king, that is to say, Li Zaidao's family will always be the king." ”

Tan Dao's breathing was really much heavier.

"However, the ruling power of Goryeo will be controlled by the prime minister. The term of office of each Prime Minister will be five years. Gu Han continued. Whoever becomes the prime minister is elected by the governors of various prefectures in Goryeo. Of course, the king has a negative decision. ”

"Wouldn't the king still be in power?" Tan Dao Zhen immediately objected.

"The king has only two objections, and if the third ballot is still the previous one, then the king's veto will be null and void." Gu Han said with a smile. Moreover, in order to limit the king's veto power, once the king exercises such power and the veto is ultimately invalid, then the king will lose the opportunity to veto the next election at the next election. I said that, does General Tan understand? ”

Tan Dao really understood immediately. In other words, whether or not he can become the prime minister depends on the degree of control of the state relative to the locality, and as long as the Tan clan can maintain control over most of the local officials in Goryeo, then the rights of the Tan clan can be secured. In the future, the power struggle between the king and the Tan clan will focus on the appointment and competition of state officials.

This is not an unacceptable decision.

Since Li Ze did not allow them to go further, seizing the position of prime minister was equivalent to controlling the real power of Goryeo. In the future, Lee Jae-do will only be a nominal king. And the Tan clan can become the true uncrowned king of Goryeo. In the future, as long as the Tan family can hold the position of the prime minister forever, the Tan family will naturally have no worries.

"I understand, I will convey Li Xiang's meaning to my brother, I think my brother can accept it, but can the king accept it?"

"On their side, when the time comes, it will naturally be up to me to convince them." Gu Han smiled and said, "By the way, there is one more thing to tell General Tan, I will be the first governor of the Tang Dynasty in Goryeo." ”

"Governor?"

"General Tan, don't get me wrong, this governor is just a fictitious position, and the meaning of the governor's existence is only to coordinate the peaceful coexistence between the prime minister and the king, of course, and at the same time, to ensure that the interests of my Tang Dynasty in Goryeo are not violated." Gu Han said with a smile: "As for the internal affairs of Goryeo, I, the governor, will never interfere. ”

If I really believe you, you're the No. 1 fool in the sky. Tan Daozhen thought silently in his heart.

I'm afraid that the existence of this governor is just to balance the Tan clan, right? Once the prime minister wants to be unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty, the governor will immediately take action, no need to use military force, as long as he completely falls to the king's line, I am afraid that the balance of power in Goryeo will be reversed immediately, and in the next election of the prime minister, an anti-Tan family will be elected.

"The Tan clan will definitely become Governor Gu's most loyal and best friend in Goryeo." Tan Dao is really authentic.

This is something that has no choice, it is impossible for Datang to put so much effort into it, and in the end he will let Goryeo go, no one will pay like this without asking for anything in return. Thinking of what the Tang Dynasty said at the beginning, it was necessary to station an army in Goryeo and ask for control of a port, Tan Daozhen felt that Goryeo really wanted to be independent, and it seemed far away.

In the future, in Goryeo, three forces will appear.

The king is a line, the country is a family, and the Tang people are a line.

Or, maybe the three-legged stand can really restore calm and peace to Goryeo. As long as everything calms down, with the ability of the elder brother, he will naturally be able to govern Goryeo slowly and become stronger, and the future can only be said later. The strength is not good, and everything is in vain.

In any case, the conditions given by Li Ze were much better than those given by Zhang Zhongwu, who regarded Goryeo as a dog and a cow and horse that could generate countless wealth for him. Li Ze at least gave them more power, so that they had space to move, so that they would not even feel suffocated to breathe.

"It's a pleasure to talk to General Tan!" Gu Han stood up with a smile and arched his hand: "In this case, Gu Mou has nothing else, when General Wen recovers, you can communicate with General Wen about military affairs, in this regard, Gu Mou can't interject." ”

Sending Gu Han away, Tan Dao was really excited, where was there still half a bit of sleep? I picked up the military drill book and flipped through a few pages, but I thoughtfully put it down and replaced it with the agricultural book minutes.

At this moment, he suddenly understood that in the case of such a large gap in military strength, it was undoubtedly ridiculous in Datang's eyes to seek military strength. And if you want to strengthen the army, you must first enrich the people, and if you don't have enough financial resources, you can't do anything at all.
