"Taking Goguryeo as an example, in addition to having a thorough understanding of its population and soldiers, we should also earnestly grasp its cultivated land area, its annual grain output, its production capacity of weapons and logistical materials, and its ability to mobilize and arm the people urgently.

These are the strengths that can be seen on the surface, and the soft power that cannot be seen.

What is its relationship with neighboring countries, such as the Khitan, the Yan people, the Xi people, the Murowei, as well as Baekje, Silla, and even the Wa Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty should know it well.

Which of these tribes and countries are united with the interests of Goguryeo, which of them are tempted and instigated by their interests to temporarily unite, which of the neutral forces can fight for our Tang Dynasty, and which of them will fall to Goguryeo in wartime, we must deal with each defeat in advance.

The above is the work done from the perspective of the overall situation, and the collection of domestic information must not be left behind.

For example, the climate of the country as a whole is suitable for warfare, how many hours of the year are suitable for warfare, how the climate is different in different parts of the country, and what are the advantages and disadvantages for both the enemy and us.

We also have to figure out the distribution of forces among the various factions in the imperial court and the contradictions and entanglements between them.

We should carefully understand the military commanders, officers above the rank of lieutenant, and whether their personality characteristics, combat style, and relationship with their colleagues are close......"

Li Tai said that he had taken all the pan-diplomatic principles of the later lighthouse countries into the world, and in fact covered the combination of traditional diplomacy and intelligence work.

He said with a spittle, and only after a stick of incense did he take a breath and say: "The diplomacy I envision must have all the above information about the target country!"

On this basis, it made a judgment on whether it was hostile, friendly or neutral to Datang, and then Datang made a diplomatic strategy accordingly.

Those who are friendly to Datang can establish diplomatic relations with them to help, and those who waver in Datang can be targeted at their weaknesses, and they will be beaten with one hand and pulled with one hand until they bow their heads to Datang.

As for those who insist on being enemies with Datang, if the contradictions are irreconcilable from the geopolitical judgment, hmph, I, Datang, must formulate a policy of destroying the country that is not easy for generations, and vow not to give up if we do not destroy the country! ”

His mind was excited and his thoughts were jumpy, and on the whole, he still did a good job of explaining the pan-diplomatic concept of the lighthouse country, and bluffed a group of Tang Dynasty turtles into a daze.

Whether it is the eldest grandson Wuji and other civil servants, or Li Daozong's group of military generals, or even Li Shimin, who is a generation of Tianjiao, how have they ever heard of such a systematic diplomatic theory.

For a while, the entire Hanyuan Hall was silent.

Cheng Yanjin was so excited that he shook his hand and pulled off a bloody beard, bared his teeth and grinned: "I'm a mother, it turns out that I can still do this when I engage in diplomatic relations."

If you, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, can really be as powerful as you say, no, as long as you are half powerful, then all the countries around Datang will fall into blood mold.

King Wei, why are you so bad, if my daughter marries you, you won't play this game with Lao Cheng, right? ”

Li Tao sighed: "Cheng Lao Pifu, according to King Wei's plan, you are going to make a name for yourself, why don't you thank King Wei?" ”

Cheng Yanjin was puzzled: "What do you mean, the old man is already a national official and is famous in Chang'an, what is the name of the king of Wei to thank him?" ”

Li Tao said quietly: "Because once this Ministry of Foreign Affairs is established, even if you are a fool like Cheng Lao Pifu who relies on God's food to fight wars, you can still get the merit of destroying the country!" ”

Cheng bit Jin Xi and said: "Phew, the old man's ability to fight is only a star and a half worse than His Majesty's, where is the need for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help the field." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "According to the method of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, our Datang wants to clean up the disobedient country, and before we send troops, we have already figured out the details of the other party, and tossed the other party half to death in advance, and the military conquest is just the last kick across the high wall."

In this way, Cheng Lao Pifu does have a chance to destroy the country.

The afterlife is terrifying, Your Majesty, our old fellows are about to lose track of the young people's brains. ”

Cheng Yanjin immediately caught the eldest grandson Wuji and sprayed wildly, and the entire Hanyuan Hall was also buzzing, and the ministers discussed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in groups.

Li Shimin laughed, Li Tai can be regarded as giving him a long face today, and there are three or five fewer wrinkles on an old handsome face.

His biggest heart problem has always been his three sisters-in-law, although he loves him a lot, but none of them have inherited his ability to be both civil and military.

Now Li Tai's insight has some shadows of his youth, which makes him feel refreshed and relieved.

After Hanyuan Hall finally returned to quiet, Li Shimin smiled and coughed lightly: "The matter of King Wei's proposal to establish a foreign ministry is almost discussed by the big guys, let's talk about it."

After all, it's new, and I don't know the bottom.

Chengfan, you talk about it first, don't be restrained, speak freely! ”

Ministers who are familiar with the emperor, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Tao, etc., have clearly received the signal that the boss is in a good mood and I want to Xuanzi, where will I touch his moldy head.

The emperor was the first to name Li Daozong, this famous general of the clan is not Tie Hanhan, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is indeed the foundation of the country, so he has no need to object.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is indeed as King Wei said, and can make the Tang Dynasty like a tiger in diplomatic affairs, and the minister thinks it can be set up."

King Jiangxia had a positive attitude and a firm position, and fired the first shot for Li Tai.

"I also have a hundred supports from Lao Cheng, wahahahahahaha, with this Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all the battles of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the country in the future will be handed over to Lao Cheng!

In the future, Your Majesty, you will hold your grandson in Chang'an, and wait for my good news. ”

Cheng bites the golden eyebrows and flies, and he can't wait.

The eldest grandson Wuji also nodded and said: "The minister also agreed to set up a foreign ministry, so that the three provinces will save a lot of effort in the future." ”

Wei Zheng said: "Yes, the minister thinks that with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, even if there is no male ruler in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and no famous general can be in charge of the court, as long as foreign affairs are handled in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the principles of geopolitics, it can also ensure that there will be no major mistakes in major diplomatic relations."

Since then, Datang has had an additional Zhenguo Divine Sword! ”

Li Tai has mixed feelings, and Zhenguan's morning style is the secret of Cheap Dad's achievement of Tian Khan.

Even if there are entanglements of positions and interests between ministers, once it comes to major military and political affairs, the bigwigs of different camps can also restrain the desire for party struggle and give priority to national affairs.

As a group of bigwigs expressed their positions, the resolution to establish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was officially passed in the first month of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan.

The countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty have lived a dark life since then, please refer to the surrounding countries in the process of Maozi's rise for details.

Li Shimin happily accepted the hearts of the ministers, and solemnly announced the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty with Tianxian in his mouth.

Later, after a set of democratic centralization processes, Li Tai was appointed as the first secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and under Li Tai's strong recommendation, Shangshu was later changed to minister.

Li Tai sincerely knelt down for the cheap dad for the first time and thanked him, the first foreign minister of the Tang Dynasty, he finally had a real difference, and he had a foundation in the court.

This variant of the Tang Dynasty Ministry of Foreign Affairs, due to Li Tai's bad intentions, put sand on the sand when it was proposed, and its essence has already integrated diplomatic and foreign intelligence work.

This would never have been possible in later generations, as diplomacy and foreign intelligence were the core functions of the state, and if the two were combined, they would inevitably give rise to a behemoth freak.

That is, the group of turtles in the Tang Dynasty did not have knowledge, so Li Tai took advantage of a loophole, and Li Tai secretly exclaimed luck.

He was very ambitious for a while, and when the freak Ministry of Foreign Affairs arrived, we became the bigwig holding the secretary of state in his left hand and the CIA in his right hand.

The little man in Li Tai's heart danced the hula again.

PS: The second more is sent, asking for a recommendation vote to comment......
