Chapter 52: Your Majesty Wants to Fight the Turks?
Mo Shuyu was finally beaten by Cheng Chumo, and covered his eyes to see Miss Weiya. But because I always thought she was a prostitute, I listened to a song and called Cheng Chumo to return to Chengfu.
"It's okay, you Sanfeng, even I was tricked by you." Cheng Chumo put his arm around Mo Shuyu and walked into Cheng's mansion drunkenly, and Mo Shuyu glanced at Mo Shuyu meaningfully when he helped him into the room.
"Mitoyo, open the door!" Early in the morning, when Mo Shuyu was sleeping in a daze, Cheng Yanjin knocked on the door.
"Uncle Cheng, what are you doing? I knocked on the door before dawn, and you let me sleep. Mo Shuyu opened his eyes and looked out the window, the sky was still cloudy, and he turned over and responded to Cheng Jin's cry.
"You kid, hurry up and go into the palace with Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will kick in the door." Cheng Yanjin knocked on the door and was very anxious.
"Oops, it's up." Mo Shuyu didn't want Cheng to bite Jin and kick in again, God knows if he would directly hug himself to Taiji Palace again, and then his face would be embarrassed.
"Let's go, hurry up and follow me into the palace." Cheng Yanjin saw Mo Shuyu open the door and walked out, and hugged him and took him out of Cheng's mansion.
"Sanfeng, Your Majesty wants to fight the Turks!" Cheng Yanjin rode a horse and walked in front and said to Mo Shuyu.
"yes, I know." Mo Shuyu didn't seem to be surprised by this at all, as if he agreed with it.
"You got it? Could it be your majesty who instigated it? Cheng Yanjin grabbed the reins of the horse and turned to look at Mo Shuyu.
"No, Your Majesty, I expected it a long time ago. How? Are you still not happy that there is a battle against Uncle Cheng? Mo Shuyu saw Cheng Biting Jin's eyes clearly, and he was clearly saying that as long as he said yes, he would hang himself up and smoke.
"Happy fart, what is there to fight a Turk, 200,000 Turks, they were almost beaten in less than an hour, and Jieli Khan was personally beheaded by the old man. Cheng Yanjin took Mo Shuyu all the way and said, but Mo Shuyu didn't listen much.
The approximate meaning of Cheng Biting Jin is that after the First Battle of Weishui, there was a split within the Turks, and the tribes of Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui, Bayegu, and Tongluo, who opposed Jieli Khan, split out of the situation, and established Xue Yantuo as Khan. The Turki Khan succeeded his uncle Jieli to the throne. At the same time, the Eastern Turks encountered heavy snowfall, most of the livestock were frozen to death and starved to death, and the Turkic power gradually weakened. On the contrary, after years of development, Tubo in the southwest is now rising strongly, annihilating several small countries around it in one fell swoop, and has already threatened the borders of the Tang Dynasty. The Turks are no longer in trouble, and the Tibetans are waiting for them with a large number of military exploits.
"Boy, wait a minute, you must advise Your Majesty, Your Majesty still attaches great importance to your words." After passing the Vermilion Bird Gate, Cheng Yanjin did not forget to remind Mo Shuyu again.
"Your Majesty, now that the Turkic civil strife has long been free from the Tang Dynasty, and the southwestern Tubo is now rising strongly. The ministers believed that the top priority was not to fight the Turks, but to attack them from the south. As soon as Mo Shuyu stepped into the main hall of Taiji Palace, he saw that the courtiers were all opposing Li Shimin's advice.
"Your Majesty, the old man is late. Today, the boy Mitoyo happened to be in my house, so I brought him over. Cheng Yanjin entered the main hall and gave Li Shimin a salute first, and then gave Mo Shuyu a code, signaling Mo Shuyu to hurry up and persuade Li Shimin.
Uncle Fang's words are wrong, as the saying goes, persimmons have to be pinched softly. Now that the Turks are in turmoil, it is a great opportunity for us to raise troops and annihilate them. Although Tibet is rising, it does not threaten the Tang Dynasty. I agree with His Majesty's idea to first quickly annihilate the Turks with the power of thunder. At that time, the army took a short rest and opened the southwest to attack Tibet. "The Northern Expedition to the Turks was the result of a conversation between Mo Shuyu and Li Shimin, although neither of them said anything about it, but they both understood each other's thoughts.
"How easy is it to say what Mitutoyo said? The Turkic territory was no smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, and all of them were cavalry. The Tang army has no advantage over it, how can it be quickly annihilated? "Li Jing, as the god of the Tang Dynasty, although he has no idea about attacking Tibet or the Turks, he still has a clear distinction between the most important and the lesser, and he does not support the Northern Expedition to the Turks.
"In the first battle of Weishui, we have annihilated the main army of the Turks, and now the Turks are only left with some old and sick people. We only need to send a crack of our army to deal a fatal blow to the Turks. Mo Shuyu had long thought that as soon as Li Shimin proposed the Northern Expedition to the Turks, there would naturally be opposition in the DPRK, and he had already had a countermeasure.
"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the treasury was empty, how could it withstand continuous battles? Could it be that you have a way to solve this huge military spending? "The Shi clan was bloodied by Li Shimin's iron-blooded methods because of the Taiyuan Wang clan, and they didn't dare to provoke Mo Shuyu. Only the Wang clan is still the same as always, obviously the jar was broken, and the patriarch was killed because of Mo Shuyu. How can such a great feud be easily lifted?
"The kid that the adult said has also thought about it, I think everyone knows, the kid has a chamber of commerce. His Majesty could issue a treasury bond and sell it to the merchants, and when the war was over, the merchants would be given preferential treatment for the purchase of land. At that time, the battle was won, and the crisis of the treasury was resolved. Li Shimin also told Mo Shuyu about the lack of money in the treasury, and Mo Shuyu had already discussed the matter of the national debt with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin hadn't spoken since Mo Shuyu came in, squinting his eyes and smiling at Mo Shuyu's tongue.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Xiaoyao is using the public for personal gain. for the profit of the lowly merchant. "The people of the Wang family are chasing after each other.
"I'll go to your mother's lowly merchant, and speak as if you were noble." Mo Shuyu couldn't get used to this person for a long time, and it was a kick to go up.
"Loose Marquis! How can you beat people above the court? Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly came up and grabbed Mo Shuyu, although Mo Shuyu did not act according to his instructions, but Mo Shuyu did not persuade Li Shimin not to fight Tubo, and the two countries fought together, which also made their military achievements more.
"If you want to beat you, you're going out to fight, when the time comes, call Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has long looked at this Wang Shishan unpleasantly." Cheng Yanjin pulled Mo Shuyu aside and spoke amazingly.
"Come on, Wang Shishan insulted my people of the Tang Dynasty, framed the hero Xiaoyaohou, entered the Dali Temple, and asked for beheading after the autumn!" Li Shimin didn't speak, waiting for Wang Shilin to jump out and accuse Mo Shuyu. immediately gave him a chance, and without saying a word, he entered Dali Temple.
"Who has any objections?" Li Shimin glared at the courtiers with tiger eyes, and asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, although Xiaoyao Hou has a way to solve the problem of military spending, but the Turks are all cavalry, and the cavalry of our army is only afraid that it is not as good as the Turkic cavalry." Li Jing can always ask the most critical questions at the most critical time.
"Your Majesty, the kid has long created a horse pedal saddle and horseshoes for this battle, these items can allow soldiers to sit on horses as if they were on flat ground, which greatly enhances the combat power of our cavalry!"
