Chapter 352: The Chief of the Water Army

"Your Highness, the battlefield of the Sui army's first expedition to Goguryeo was not far from Anshi City, and almost all of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yuwenshu died in battle, and the Goguryeo people built their corpses into Jingguan to boast of their martial arts." Fang Xuanling said sadly: "The world is shaken when the news comes, but my promising Han family boy regards it as the biggest shame, and His Royal Highness's recital will definitely win the hearts of the world." ”

Li Zhi's face was also solemn: "Now Goguryeo is still fighting, and after my father and emperor take Pyongyang City, they will have time to collect those bones and bring them back to the Central Plains for burial!" ”

By the time the chapter was handed to Li Shimin, the army had already marched to the city of Pyongyang. Li Shimin saw his son's recital, and said with relief: "Sure enough, the pheasant slave is still benevolent and righteous, and I also want to bring the corpses of these warriors back to the Central Plains day and night, and he thinks of one place with me." ”

The ministers also supported Li Zhi's move, and being able to make this suggestion shows that the boss in the future is definitely not a murderous person, so everyone's life is better, everyone praised Li Shimin's vision again, and he laughed happily, but thinking of the two sons who were still demoted in other places, his mood was low again.

Cheng Yanjin knew what Li Shimin was thinking, and quickly changed the topic: "Your Majesty, we shot the persuasion arrow into Pyongyang City today, I don't know what Quangai Suwen will think?" Will it be like the small town on the road, all abandon the city and flee. Ha ha. ”

It turned out that as soon as Anshi Fortress was broken, the whole of Goguryeo was shaken after the news was spread by the fleeing people and the defeated soldiers. When the Tang army arrived under the city of Pyongyang, there were still a large number of people who were not allowed to enter the city because Pyongyang City was afraid that the spies of the Tang army would come in, so they cried under the city wall, and when they saw the banners of the Tang army all over the mountains, everyone scattered and fled, and was caught by the Tang army.

"Quangai Suwen is also a generation of heroes, so he shouldn't be so." Li Shimin sneered: "I came forward to mediate the dispute between Goguryeo and Baekje, and he dared to refuse, and when I caught him, I would like to see how he faced it." ”

"Your Majesty, where did Zhang Liang ask the Chinese army to send him some more grenades and gunpowder, he was also blocked under the stone city for many days, but he couldn't attack it."

"That's right." Li Shimin agreed: "Let him speed down, and then join us." So that the flanks are secured. By the way, Li Dongsheng's supplies are up to you to take the team and help him blow up the city gate. ”

Li Dongsheng, who was thinking about when his wife would give birth to a child in the back, suddenly heard that he was going to Shicheng and raised his head: "Then I'll come back with their team?" ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Didn't you say last time that the navy can play a big role, I think Zhang Liang's navy is to help transport a team across the sea, and the rest of the role is limited, now you are appointed as the head of the navy, you can move freely, let me see if the strategy of your navy will work?" ”

"Huh?" Li Dongsheng was stupid, what is the situation in this NM, why did he suddenly give such a high position. The head of the navy is the position of Sipin, and he is in charge of all the sailors on the Goguryeo battlefield, which is equivalent to being the commander all the way, and he is more free than Li Ji.

"Your Majesty, never." The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly stopped Li Shimin's idea: "How important is the commander of the first army, the safety of the soldiers below is all tied to one, Li Dongsheng is so young, and he has no experience in the navy, so he parachuted into such a position, so how can the old man below who has struggled for many years be convinced." "Lazy people listen to books

Many people who are doing it are also related, everyone is a future that is killed in the sea of corpses and blood, this little white-faced jinshi was born, and he relied on gunpowder and grenades to be equal to himself at such a young age, looking at himself with a wrinkled face in the mirror, how can people not be jealous.

Li Shimin said: "I have thought about this carefully, Li Dongsheng has no military experience before, and he can also bring a firearms battalion to kill the Quartet and shock the Western Regions." These things are all due to the changes brought about by gunpowder, and now you tell me who can use grenades and gunpowder better than him, and I will let him be the head of the navy. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is still not convinced: "The navy is different from the cavalry, it is more professional, and his grenade sailor army is thrown directly across the boat, why do you need to parachute such a person, so that the soldiers are suspicious, which will affect morale." ”

Because it involves himself, Li Dongsheng can't speak, otherwise he will be criticized by Yushi in many ways.

Because the eldest grandson Wuji is his brother-in-law, Li Shimin still explained to him seriously: "What you see is that he is from a civilian background and is not very old, but what I value him is his vision and whimsy. Li Dongsheng's ideas are always different, and he is good at starting from other angles, so I just want to see if the big navy plan he boasted about is useful? ”

The emperor said that this was the case, and the ministers had to pinch their noses and admit that fortunately, this official position was only temporary, and it would be over when the war was over. After the ministers left, Li Shimin left Li Dongsheng behind: "Do you know why you were given this position?" ”

"I don't know." Li Dongsheng said honestly, he really didn't know.

"Now that Anshi City has fallen into our Datang Dynasty, Pyongyang City is also just around the corner. It's like what you said last time, the question of how to govern after conquering Goguryeo. The climate here is bitterly cold, and the people of my Tang Dynasty are not necessarily willing to immigrate over, and the population of the Central Plains is far from recovering after so many years of recuperation after many years of conquest at the end of the Sui Dynasty, so these ten years are still empty, if we spend a lot of effort to make wedding dresses for other peoples, then we are not fools. ”

Li Dongsheng nodded: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the most likely to take advantage of it is Baekje, the Silla country is small and weak, and the queen does not have such great ambitions." ”

"So I'm thinking about the big navy plan you mentioned, in peacetime, Goguryeo only leaves some security forces to maintain order, and when something happens, the navy can land at any time to rescue, so that it can greatly reduce peacetime expenses." Li Shimin stared at the map and said: "There are also Japanese countries, do you think there are other countries in this sea?" ”

"Your Majesty, that's for sure." Li Dongsheng didn't dare to give him a world geography lesson, if he was asked how you know, he would not be able to answer: "The big cannibals can come to my Datang from the Western Regions, or they can come to my Datang by sea, which shows that this is the same, so in the vast sea, there must be some other places with countries." ”

Li Shimin stared at the map for a long time before sighing: "This world is so vast, I really want to go and see it everywhere." ”
