knew that the young generals were flattering him, but Li Shimin was still happy about it. During his four months in the Wa Kingdom, he did show his military qualities. In the absence of electromagnetic communications, he is indeed entitled to be proud of the fact that he can control the battle within the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom with just one map of the Wa Kingdom.

In this battle, Datang won a lot, and the soldiers did not complain because of the long sea journey, but got together to speculate about what kind of reward they would get. They didn't even look at the gold, jade, beads and stones piled up on the ship, but attached special importance to military merits.

It is difficult for Datang to attack once, this time the action will definitely cause a sensation in the world, and the alien race will only lower and lower their heads, and it is very difficult to have another big war. Even if the military merit obtained this time becomes the final military merit, it is not unusual.

After four consecutive months of fighting, Datang still suffered more than 3,000 casualties, but compared to the results, this damage is nothing at all. It was impossible to wipe out a country with 40,000 troops.

The military affairs Sima and Wuli Sima were completely worried, when the gunpowder weapon became the mainstream weapon, the military merit could not be calculated at all. With a thunderclap and smoke billowing out, who can count which soldier killed how many? Even if you find the person concerned for verification, you can't get an accurate figure.

In the past, generals liked to falsely report the number of enemies killed, but now the situation is that the statistical numbers are too far from the army's record records. The 10,000 troops led by Cheng Chuji slaughtered in Kyushu, and the 40,000 troops of the Japanese State did not leave a single living mouth, but the number of statistics was only 20,000.

In the accounting of military merits, it is not possible to have more, and it is naturally not possible to do it if there is less. There was really no way to do it, and the military affairs Sima and Wuli Sima could only find Li Shimin.

Li Shimin stood in front of a fiberglass and observed the strange-shaped octopus inside. He rarely went to the beach and never saw an octopus, and when the fishing net on the boat caught a few octopus, Li Shimin raised one in fiberglass.

Hearing the two Simas' advice, Li Shimin was also worried. Military merit is not calculated, but it is a big deal in the army, but the current situation is not something that can be handled in a while. Even he couldn't come up with a good solution.

A shark was caught in the fishing net, and Leng Feng ordered the shark's liver to be cut and prepared to get some cod liver oil to bring back to Lao Sun.

After finishing and walking into the cabin, I saw Li Shimin and the two Sima scratching their ears and cheeks, and smiled after asking the reason.

"There is no need to count individuals, no matter which team's record is distributed, just distribute it equally, and the distribution of the army's merits will be treated in the same way in the future."

Li Shimin thought for a while before asking: "Will it be unfair to do this?" There are always people who kill more enemies, and some people kill fewer enemies, so it is not good to distribute them evenly and cause disputes. ”

Leng Feng sat down and shook his head: "There will be no problem, when there is no battle, in fact, the military department has subdivided each army, and the same level is a competitor to each other." The purpose of this is to give the military a sense of honor to their belongings. In the past, when the government soldiers were in the system, it was natural to be meticulous, because the government soldiers of the same state capital might not appear on the same battlefield. But when the army becomes a fixed army, individual honor should never be higher than collective honor. As for the truly accomplished person, he does not need to be rewarded by us, and the collective to which he belongs will naturally commend and reward him. ”

Li Shimin thought about it and felt that what Leng Feng said was very reasonable, so he said to Wuli Sima and Military Affairs Sima: "In the future, this matter will be set as a use case." You only need to approve the overall merit of a certain team, and leave the rest of the awards to them to distribute themselves. ”

The two horses nodded, and went down with a long sigh of relief to continue their work. As a result, they are much less stressed.

Looking at the sluggish octopus in Li Shimin's box, Leng Feng said helplessly: "The creatures in the ocean, you can easily die if you keep them in the tank." ”

Li Shimin sighed helplessly: "I went out for a stroll that day and found out what kind of zoo the Academy of Literature has opened, which collects rare and exotic animals from all over the world, even giraffes and the like in Africa, and the tickets are sold for a lot of money. I was thinking that since the zoo made money, I would be able to make money by making a place to raise all kinds of fish. ”

Thinking about the aquarium in later generations, Leng Feng felt that Li Shimin's idea was really good. It's just that marine life is much more fragile than land life, and with the current level of science and technology in Datang, you can also consider fishing gardens and the like. Aquaria? More than 100 years later.

Hearing Leng Feng's grunt, Li Shimin sighed again. His physical condition, he himself knows, a hundred years? Whether or not you will survive until tomorrow is uncertain. In fact, he'd been feeling numb all over his body for days, but he hadn't said it.

As the sea area approached Datang, the sea was no longer calm, and occasionally merchant ships appeared. When the foreign merchant ships saw the warship, they immediately stopped and gave way, while the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty would take the initiative to approach and send some vegetables and other food.

The bandits in the Great Food Sea have a tendency to overflow, and even spread to the coasts of Tianzhu and Tubo. However, no matter how much trouble they made, they didn't dare to invade the Datang Sea area, and no matter how cruel they were, they didn't dare to attack Datang's merchant ships. Even if the two groups of pirates are fighting, if they encounter a Datang merchant ship, they must wait for the Datang merchant ship to pass before continuing.

The reason for all this is because of the suffocating power of Datang.

Seeing the obedience of foreign merchant ships, Li Shimin was very happy.

Seeing the respectfulness of the Datang merchant ship, Li Shimin was also very happy.

Seeing the ships suspected of being pirate ships entering the country drop their sails and anchor under the encirclement of warships and accept interrogation, Li Shimin was even more happy.

When he saw the harbor of Dengzhou from afar and the horizon appeared in front of him, the telescope in Li Shimin's hand fell on the deck.

Leng Feng picked up the dropped telescope and was just about to return it to Li Shimin, but saw the Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson stop him with tears in her eyes.

"No need, Your Majesty has already gone."

Leng Feng was startled and looked at Li Shimin in a wheelchair.

Li Shimin's eyes were wide open, the corners of his mouth had a smile that seemed to be satisfied, and his gray beard fluttered slightly under the sea breeze. It's just that the emaciated chest no longer rises and falls.

Walking to Li Shimin's side, Leng Feng stretched out his hand to give Li Shimin cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

But the Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson stopped him again: "Let Your Majesty go like this, he is very happy at this time." It's good to leave like a stripped thread than to linger on the sickbed. You better close his eyes, His Majesty has always regarded you as a friend, and I don't think you will be blamed. ”

A person who has just passed away is not allowed to be touched according to the rules, and touching it will bring great pain to the deceased, and disasters will befall him.

Leng Feng naturally didn't believe this, but just looked at Li Shimin's eyes that had lost their brilliance, and made up his mind for a long time before closing his eyes.

A generation of emperors, obviously grabbed squid with himself a few days ago, but he couldn't imagine that he would go like this now.

When the accompanying guards heard the news, they immediately burst into tears and shouted at the top of their voices: "The emperor has died!" ”

When the news of the death of the Emperor Taishang spread throughout the fleet, the soldiers who were still complacent about their military exploits a moment ago appeared on the deck and knelt down towards the emperor's boat, and the entire fleet no longer had a trace of joy, leaving only boundless grief....
