"Your Highness, why do you only need Dengzhou."

Xue Wanjun's question should actually be a doubt in the hearts of all the people present, and Feng Ming couldn't understand why his Langjun only needed Dengzhou as a fiefdom, because Dengzhou was notoriously not a good place, and Li Shimin wanted to merge this place, how could it be a good place.

There are actually many good places in Datang, Guanzhong has fertile land, and there are places in the south of the Yangtze River... Those are all first-class good places, according to Li Zhan's state of being spoiled by Li Shimin, there is no problem at all in these places.

But Li Zhan asked for a Dengzhou?

Li Zhan looked at everyone's puzzled expressions, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then Li Zhan asked, "What is there in Dengzhou?" ”

"What's in Dengzhou?" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, seriously, they really don't know what Dengzhou has in mind.

After a while, Li Zhan saw that everyone really didn't know, and then said with a smile: "Dengzhou has a sea, so there is a port." ”

"What's wrong with having a port?" Hou Junji still didn't understand and asked.

How to say it... At this time, the ancients really didn't know anything about the ocean, because they had a sense of awe for the ocean, and in the eyes of the ancient people, the sea was a place full of darkness and horror, and people were in awe of it and felt mysterious and unattainable.

"Sea", from the water from obscure, obscure, is the meaning of obscure. It is also recorded that "the words of the sea are obscure and unseen."

The so-called unseen, means unknowable, unseekable, it can be seen that the people at that time were in awe of the ocean, so the ancients were full of curiosity, mystery and "the east of the Bohai Sea does not know hundreds of millions of miles" full imagination, describing it as a fairy secret land.

Although it has also been in contact with the ocean, it is all offshore, and Datang is actually an inland country, and rarely puts its energy on the ocean, so the ocean needs to stay away from and protect against enemy attacks for Datang.

Li Zhan smiled slightly: "With a port, you can make a shipyard, and with a shipyard, you can make sea ships, as long as there are sea ships, you can find other continents." ”

"Another continent...?" Everyone present was surprised.

I heard the shadow elder ask in surprise: "Your Highness... In addition to our Datang, are there other continents? ”

"Of course there is...!" Li Zhan laughed, he thought that he should popularize the knowledge of the ocean to these people, so Li Zhan thought about it and said to everyone: "Actually, our Datang is only as small as the current Gaochang in this world...!" ”

"Huh...?" Li Zhan's words surprised everyone.

Li Zhan followed: "You all know about Wajima, right? ”

Li Zhan asked... Hou Junji nodded and said, "I know about Wajima!" ”

"yes... There are a lot of small islands like Wajima in this sea... It can't be said that small islands, such an island is about the size of one of our states, but don't underestimate these islands, there are gold, silver, copper and iron on the islands, as well as millions of acres of fertile land.

In addition to small islands such as Wajima, there is also a continent as big as Datang.

For example, the American continent is very developed where the cultivation industry is very developed, and South America is the origin of cocoa, sunflower, pineapple, potato, cassava, Brazilian rubber tree, tobacco, cinchona, corn, tomato, yerba mate, pepper and other cultivated plants.

The coast is rich in anchovy, sardines, eels, sea bass, tuna, etc... Got there... Eat and drink without worry.

There are many ores in the Australian continent, such as mineral sand, gold, lead, zinc, iron, copper, nickel, and manganese... There are also cute animals, kangaroos, koalas, platypus... Every time the rain passes, the originally arid grassland is full of flowers.

You know what's the most important thing? ”

"What is it...?" Li Zhan's words made everyone present a little obsessed with it.

Li Zhan said with a smile: "The most important thing is that there are few people ruling such a good place, and when I find those places, then I will be the king there, and there are too many such places, I can't manage them alone at that time."

You can all be kings there... In the future, your family, your sons and nephews... You can stay there for generations to come, and be king there. ”

"Wow...!" Li Zhan's words finally made Hou Junji and others feel a little bit of Li Zhan's thoughts, and they seemed to understand why Li Zhan didn't become the emperor, because for Li Zhan, the pattern of this emperor was a little small.

There are more and better lands on the sea, not only Li Zhan can be king, but everyone seems to be able to do it too.

"Your Highness...!" Hou Junji hurriedly wanted to ask more carefully, but just as Hou Junji was about to ask, suddenly, a soldier came to report that the Tiger Ben Army had encountered an enemy attack.

"What... Enemy attack...? Hou Junji was surprised.

However, Li Zhan smiled very calmly: "Don't worry, the Tiger Army will not disappoint the Grand Chief." ”

Li Zhan's composure made Hou Junji breathe a sigh of relief and said: "This Gaochang is really not worry-free...!" ”

"The rabbit is in a hurry and bites...!" Li Zhan laughed and said: "However, a rabbit is a rabbit, even if you bite someone, there will be no result, but the rabbit is the worst, the boss, no matter how many people are attacking this time, they must all stay, I see what he Gao Chang will take to defend the city tomorrow." ”

"Yes...!" Hou Junji immediately ordered: "The Tiger Army moves forward and blocks the way of the Gaochang Army." ”

At the same time, on the position of the Tiger Ben Army, Cheng Chumo looked at the scene in front of him and laughed, Xue Rengui behind him was about to move, Su Ningbao, Qin Huaiyu, Yu Chi Baolin, and Yu Chi Baoqing had already dragged Mo Dao to kill, and the people who had been killed in Gao Changjun turned over on their backs.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, when Gao Chang's spies lurked over to spy on the Tiger Army.

The scouts of the Tiger Cavalry Regiment discovered Gaochang's spies, and after the scouts of the Tiger Cavalry Regiment discovered Gaochang's spies, they immediately went back to report to Cheng Chumo and others.

It stands to reason that if such a thing is discovered as soon as it is discovered, it should be reported to the Chinese army, so that the general manager will arrange the follow-up response.

However, when Cheng Chumo knew about it, Cheng Chumo showed a happy expression.

Xue Rengui said on the side: "Deputy Brigade General Cheng... I think we should immediately report this news to the Grand Governor, and Gao Changguo should have an ambush army outside. ”

"That's right...!" Cheng Chu smiled silently: "And the target of this ambush army is likely to be us." ”

"So what are you waiting for... I'll report it. Qin Huaiyu stood up and prepared to ride to the Chinese army.

However, Cheng Chumo on the side waved his hand and said, "Huaiyu, you wait...!" ”

"What...?" Qin Huaiyu stopped and looked at Cheng Chumo.

At this time, Cheng Chumo looked at the surrounding generals and said: "We have been here for more than 100 days, and we have not experienced a major war, which is not good for our Tiger Army."

We are here to fight and get a baptism of blood for our Tiger Ben soldiers.

And now is a good opportunity, there is an ambush army outside Gaochang City, and the object of this ambush army is us.

We might as well not go to the table, and then secretly set up the army and wait for this Gaochang ambush army... I don't know what everyone thinks. ”

Cheng Chumo's words made everyone's hearts moved, why... The main thing is still all the way, from March to June... The Tiger Benjun did eat a lot of tears, and they all knew that they had come here to fight, but in the end, not a single enemy was killed, then really, it was really too much to say.

And the purpose of coming here this time is to train the troops, and you can't achieve the purpose of this training, it's really sad.

All the generals, you look at me, I look at you, and everyone made a decision with a tacit understanding, this matter is not on the table for the time being, and then the whole army will be arranged, and the Tiger Ben army will wait for work and meet with the Gaochang ambush army this time.

On the side of the Gao Chang Army, the Kogu Palace got the news that his spies had returned, saying that the Tiger Ben Army had all rested... At this time, if you rush to kill, you will definitely turn the people who were killed by the Tang New Army in front of you about 6,000.

If it's not good, maybe you can kill a battalion.

Camp howling is a very terrifying thing, as we all know, the camp rules in the ancient military camp are strict, not to mention shouting loudly, even if you have nothing to do to spread rumors, your life is in danger. Moreover, the barracks are an authentic place of slaughter, and the traditional military regulations have the so-called "17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings", and those who serve as soldiers live in fear, and the mental depression after years can be imagined.

On the other hand, the traditional army is very dark, with officers wantonly oppressing soldiers, veterans ganging up to oppress recruits, and military personnel forming gangs and factions fighting openly and secretly, and contradictions have accumulated year after year, all relying on military discipline and bullets.

Especially before the war, everyone's life and death were uncertain, and they didn't know when they would return to the West, and their spirits at this time were on the verge of collapse.

It may just be a soldier's nightmare screaming, so everyone is infected with this hysterical and crazy atmosphere, completely getting rid of the shackles of military discipline and venting frantically.

Some clear-headed guys began to copy up the guys to repay grievances, revenge, because many of the soldiers relied on the relationship of their fellow villagers to form gangs, so they began to fight, at this time those officers who usually oppressed the soldiers became the number one target, in the chaos everyone was settling their own accounts, and those who should repay their debts could not run.

The ancient army had many night terrors, that is, "camp howling", and the earliest record of camp screaming was in the war between the Eastern Han Dynasty and Xiqiang, which was recorded in the "Tongjian Chronicle". Therefore, in all dynasties, strict military discipline is the primary method to prevent camp roaring.

Until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there were laws that strictly punished the initiators of the camp.

How to say it... Gao Changjun thinks that it is still very beautiful, a battalion roar, it will not make the Tang family's 200,000 troops chaotic, in that case, this Kogu Palace is a proper savior of Gao Changguo.

However, the truth will only disappoint this Koji Palace, because the object he chose to attack was not other armies, if other armies were really hard to say, but in the army of the Tiger Army, there were no officers who bullied the soldiers.

The officers of the Tiger Ben Army basically suffered with the soldiers, so there was nothing to retribution, there was revenge... And at this time, the Tiger Ben Army was already in full array, waiting for the arrival of the Gaochang Army.
