Maritime trade between the Tang Dynasty and the merchants of Goryeo began to become frequent again.

When Li Qi studied the documents about Goryeo in the former Tang Dynasty, he found that as early as the reign of Emperor Gojong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had already conquered Goryeo and Baekje, and set up the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate in Pyongyang City and the Xiongjin Metropolitan Prefecture in Xiongjin City, the capital of Baekje. Except for the Kingdom of Silla, most of the peninsula was owned by the Tang Dynasty.

It is no wonder that there were many Goryeo-born military generals, poets and literati in the previous dynasties, such as Gao Xianzhi and Li Guangbi, etc., and those places were originally the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that after an Anshi Rebellion, it's all over.

In the former Tang Dynasty, the two dynasties of Taejong and Gojong lasted 25 years, and it took 25 years to completely conquer Goryeo and Baekje, which cost a lot of people and financial resources, but the result was that the Goryeo people were cheapened again. After regaining their independence from the Tang Dynasty, the Goryeo people took advantage of the cultural and technological advantages they had learned from the Tang Dynasty to quickly conquer Baekje and Silla and unify the peninsula.

After Li Qi returned to Luoyang from the Shu inspection, he didn't go anywhere, but nested in the palace, studying the conquest of Khitan with Zhang Jingda, Song Tinghao, and veterans Yuan Xingqin and Xia Luqi, who had entered the Advisory Yuan and retreated to the second line. As a result, Liu Jiang's guy came in once and said casually: "Why don't you start by sea first?" Get Goryeo first and then fight from the east, first easy and then difficult. ”

As a result, Li Qi thought that he was very reasonable, and asked everyone to reinvent the original plan and renegotiate it.

Zhang Jingda was so angry that he sighed, threw the small flag in his hand on the sand table, and said nothing.

It's no wonder that the Privy Council has been working on a battle plan for several months, and if Liu Jiang and his gang are involved, it will all be messed up.

Xia Chengting didn't know how to get the news, so he ran back to Luoyang from Quanzhou, and then ran to the palace every day, staying in the war room of the military aircraft senate, and refused to leave.

Anyway, he is thick-skinned enough, Li Qi doesn't say anything to pick him up, and others can't do anything with him.

The Privy Council was very inaccurate about the topography of Liaodong and Goryeo, and Li Qi looked awkward, so he ordered someone to make a new one, and the larger Liaodong and Peninsula sand table was sent over, replacing the old sand table. As a result, a group of curious old guys were aroused, and the combat research room was overcrowded and very lively.

The royal city of Goryeo was Kaegyong, that is, the Kaesong located on the 38th parallel during the negotiations in later generations, and the old capital Pyongyang became Seogyong. It's just that it's not a continuation of the previous dynasty, but that the later Goryeo king Wang Jian himself was born in a wealthy family in Songakseong (Kaesong), and this Kaesong is his base camp.

The founding time of the king of Goryeo was similar to that of the post-Tang dynasty.

Li Qi came in from outside, and when he saw that everyone was having a lively discussion, he pointed to Xia Chengting, who was bragging, and said, "How many soldiers and horses does Goryeo have now?" How much mobilization capacity is there? Which ports would be suitable as landing sites if attacking by sea? And the hydrological conditions of those rivers, can they be navigated? It's useless to stay here all day, and don't send out the intelligence officers quickly! ”

Xia Chengting scratched his head: "Your Majesty, isn't this intelligence collection work all under the control of the secret spy department?" ”

"This naval division is going to the ocean, and some intelligence needs to be done by very professional personnel, such as port intelligence, hydrology, tides, etc., so in the future, the navy will be established, and this intelligence department must be indispensable." Li Qi glared at him, "What kind of bull did you brag about just now, as long as 20,000 sailors can pacify Goryeo?!" It's a joke, and the lion and the rabbit have to do their best, like you, what kind of system! ”

Xia Chengting could only be trained with his head down, but he was still a little unconvinced: It turns out that you also taught us to save our strength when fighting a war, and to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.

Anyway, you're the boss, so it's all right!

At present, in Goryeo, the founding monarch Wang Jian died of illness, his son Wang Wu was weak and sick, and the local wealthy clans were divided and self-reliant, like a plate of scattered sand, which was the weakest period.

Li Qi looked at Zhang Jingda: "First control the Yalu Water and the Datong River, can 100,000 soldiers and horses be enough?" ”

Zhang Jingda said: "That area happens to be the border between Khitan and Goryeo, there are not many soldiers and horses, to capture it, maybe only 30,000 or 50,000 is enough, but if you want to have it for a long time, I am afraid you have to immigrate at least 200,000 people to implement the military camp." ”

Li Qi said: "Fight in from here first, and then slowly expand to both sides, one side is Liaodong, and the other side is Goryeo." The lesson of the former Tang Dynasty is that the reign was too short, and the transformation of these young people was not complete. To pay attention to education, identify with Datang, and start from the baby. ”

With steamships, this sea transportation is very convenient, even if it is not a problem to supply hundreds of thousands of troops to fight at the front.

It's just that Li Qi thinks it's not worth raising people for this.

The other is information about the Japanese country. This Wa country learned culture and some techniques from the Tang Dynasty, that is, it had just broken away from the savage stage, and under the influence of the Tang Dynasty, it stepped into the feudal society from the primitive society. However, the society of the Wa Kingdom is still very imperfect, and it is basically still in a state where the landlords of the major manors are in their own way, and the so-called Wa King is not taken seriously, and the power is completely controlled by the Fujiwara family, who control Heian Castle, and it is also a mess of scattered sand.

Influenced by later generations, Li Qi always felt that he was like getting some false information.

Now this country is not even as developed and advanced as that country?!

Anyway, Li Qi is ready to destroy all the small countries that can be seen around, how uncomfortable it is to be a self-established king, small countries and widows, always bullied, how happy and lucky it is to be a subject of the Tang Dynasty!

How broad the mind of the Tang Empire is, it must definitely be able to accommodate the entire Pacific Ocean!

Thinking of this, Li Qi suddenly felt a little bored, he was obviously bullying people.

Still, it's a really good feeling.

At present, it is known that only the Khitan and Karahan countries can still play around.

The Tibetan nobles were still fighting around the perimeter of the city.

The air on the plateau is thin and you have to get used to it before you can gradually penetrate it.

He originally thought that the Wa Kingdom should be relatively strong, but who knew that it was just a newly civilized barbarian land.

What's the fun with this?!

It's a chilling place.

Li Qi is also at a loss now, looking at the world, he can't find the loneliness of his opponent.

The stability of the empire must be based on the constant emergence of new enemies, and without enemies, new enemies must be discovered and created.

He now suddenly felt that keeping the Khitan still had a great effect.

At least whoever you want to promote, you can let him take the soldiers and cut a piece of meat on the Khitan people's body and come back, so that the credit and hard work are all there, and it is normal to be promoted and get rich, and it is not easy for others to stop them.

The size of an empire depends on where your army can reach within a month......
