Chapter 255: Let's go, Your Majesty is invited
Everyone understands the truth, and without vital interests, no one can be full of motivation.
The Tang Army is not really unable to defend, in terms of local operations, the Tang Army is still an all-round type, but when it runs outside the mainland, it is a typical attack strong and weak defense, or even not defending at all.
For example, last year's northern expedition to the Turks, according to the normal situation, should be captured, and then the original garrison built the city, moved the people to the border, and a hundred years later, the original frontier became inland.
How did the current territory of the Central Plains Dynasty come about? Isn't it all like this?
But for the Tang Dynasty, this situation was not suitable, and even for the Sui Dynasty.
There is no other reason, the soldiers love their families......
"If you find a problem, you will solve it step by step, if it doesn't work in one year, then use ten years, if it doesn't work in ten years, it will take twenty years, and one day these problems will be solved." Li Yuanjing understood Fang Xuanling's worries, but it didn't matter to him.
Anyway, I'm not the emperor, and I don't have to worry about those miscellaneous things, I just say it, just do it casually, and let others worry about headaches.
"The combat effectiveness of the government soldiers is very strong, but how many years can a government soldier fight? The imperial court will select a group of government soldiers every three years to supplement, and it doesn't matter if the wide township is wide, anyway, there is a lot of land, but what about the narrow township? The land is not enough, and the land recovery cycle allocated to the government soldiers is too long, but it is enough in front of the present, what about ten years from now, a hundred years from now?
At that time, Datang will not have any extra land to allocate to these newly become government soldiers, and it will not be able to recover the land from those old government soldiers, so how can the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers be guaranteed? Is it just those preferential policies?
The Junda system can be strong for a while, but can it be strong for a lifetime? This king said an exaggerated remark, if those hidden households of the Tang Dynasty come back collectively in a short period of time, the Juntian system of the Tang Dynasty will collapse instantly, and then it will be as turbulent as a flood that breaks the embankment, you ask yourself, if such a situation really occurs, how should the imperial court respond? Can you cope with it again? Li Yuanjing then asked.
This is not nonsense, the collapse of the Juntian system is the direct cause of the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the later Juntian system was canceled, and the rent adjustment system was also canceled, so it was changed to the two tax laws.
But it can only be said that it is a symptom rather than a root cause, the foundation of the Central Plains Dynasty is the land, once the land is lost, the people's will is unstable, the people's heart is unstable, and the government is unstable.
Although the later Datang has been seeking change, it has never been on the right path, so it is inevitable that such and such situations will occur, and eventually the powerful Datang has become a chapter in history.
……
Li Yuanjing's words deeply touched Fang Xuanling, every sentence was alarmist, but every sentence scared him a lot, and after careful thinking, he would find that these were actually real.
These days, Fang Xuanling has been silent again, and he still doesn't care about the outside world.
The most angry was naturally Hou Junji, who originally thought that Fang Xuanling would still have a little sense, but it turned out that he thought too much.
Li Yuanjing still did not cancel his decision, and the Silla army under Hou Junji was still talking about it, and there was a tendency to intensify, and the new 2,000 people soon entered this strange discussion.
In addition to being angry, Hou Junji even wanted to directly raise the knife to solve Li Yuanjing, but in the end, reason and the people around him persuaded him.
At this time, the two thousand sailors around Li Yuanjing would definitely not let him come around, if they resisted, although they were numerous, they would not be able to take advantage of it.
The most important thing is that Fang Xuanling is still here, and Li Yuanjing alone is easy to say, but if even Fang Xuanling is taken down together, this is not a credit, but a proper capital crime.
Of course, even if he took it down, he didn't dare to make a decision, and a figure of this level had to be brought back to Chang'an.
It's easy to fake a scene, but in this way, your own credit becomes evidence of the crime, which is really too unworthy.
Therefore, Hou Junji has been enduring it, but fortunately, after Fang Xuanling signed an agreement with the king of Silla, he announced Li Shimin's holy decree on the spot, appointing Hou Junji as the general of the Tang Dynasty in Silla to oversee all military affairs and minerals.
After that, Fang Xuanling didn't stay for a moment, and hurriedly pulled Li Yuanjing to board the fleet back to China on the second day.
The problem of the anchor is still not solved, but the crew has found a reliable method for the time being, which is to find the reef and send someone to tie it to the reef with a rope.
However, when the fleet arrived in Haizhou, there were several people with special identities waiting for them on the dock.
"Xuancheng? Why are you here? Is it going to Silla? Fang Xuanling, who was a little dazed, just got off the boat, he saw his old acquaintance, and he couldn't help but be a little happy, and even the symptoms of seasickness were slightly reduced.
He talked with Li Yuanjing on the ship for a few days, and also had some ideas for some specific operations, Fang Xuanling could even be sure that if this plan could really succeed, Datang would surpass the glory of the Sui Dynasty in a short period of time and create a prosperous era that truly belonged to Datang itself.
And what made him even more excited was that as soon as he got off the boat, he met the person he wanted to find the most, Wei Zheng Wei Xuancheng!
Wei Zheng is not only a mouth cannon, but it is impossible for a mouth cannon to gain Li Shimin's trust and reuse, and this is also the henchman of Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince.
Wei Zheng's real identity is actually a strategist, but he made his debut as a counselor here in Li Shimin, a person with the head of a strategist went to be a counselor, can the problems he was looking for be those sprinkled problems?
And the most glorious scene of Wei Zheng was naturally when he was in the fifth year of Wude, when Li Shimin led a large army to attack Dou Jiande's old department Liu Heimin, but Li Shimin, who was a fierce general, was defeated repeatedly.
In December of the same year, Li Jiancheng took over Li Shimin's task, although Li Jiancheng is the prince, but Li Jiancheng's generals are not at the same level as Li Shimin.
However, at the suggestion of Wei Zheng, the shrimp soldiers and crabs led by Li Jiancheng won many battles against Liu Heimin, and did not taste defeat, and this battle hit Li Shimin very hard, so he desperately wanted to poach Wei Zheng.
It's not ineffective for Fang Xuanling to say this matter alone, but it will definitely not be too big, but if Wei Zheng can be persuaded to join him in admonishing, then the problem will not be too big.
"Your Majesty has a decree to order King Zhao and Fang Xiang to return to Chang'an immediately." Wang De, who was ignored by Fang Xuanling, stood up gently and declared his existence.
Fang Xuanling was stunned, he really ignored Wang De before, and when he opened his eyes again, he even came to Chi Jingde, the black coal captain?
And with me, it is...... Praetorian guards?
When confirming that Fang Xuanling's eyes were looking at him, Chi Jingde, the black coal captain, finally snorted coldly and said sharply: "Let's go, the old man will personally drive the car for the two of you!" ”
