Chapter 162 The hero sees the same thing

"Your Majesty!" Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng's eyes, hesitated for a moment and asked, "The minister has something unclear, please ask Your Majesty to solve your doubts!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

"Your Majesty ordered the ministers to pass through the eighty-one states of Shandong Province, and it is difficult for the ministers to ensure that the eighty-one states are foolproof!" Chen Ying said openly and honestly: "Your Majesty is also the master of the army, and you must know very well that there is a world of difference between commanding 10,000 troops and commanding 100,000 people, and commanding 100,000 troops and 100,000 people is undoubtedly difficult!" ”

Chen Ying naturally didn't say anything.

What he said was true, he never directly commanded more than 30,000 horses in all wars, because he knew that the more numerous, the more difficult it would be.

There are no telephones, no radios, and no optical fiber communications, and it is impossible to say that there is a need for unified command. Whether it is the commander of Yehu or Jieli Khan, they are defeated by the fact that there are too many armies under their command.

Chen Yingshi was different, he only needed to manage the four generals under his command, and each general could lead three or five or seven or eight Zhichong Prefectures, although he still could not do it like an arm, at least at the same time, the various departments could coordinate with each other.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "I also know that the eighty-one states stretch for thousands of miles of defense line, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to be foolproof, but I only want to do my best and obey the destiny of heaven!" ”

Now Li Jiancheng also feels helpless, if he does not form a unified command of the entire eastern coastal region, it will be easier for Li Shimin to break through each other.

If there is no unified command in battle, all the battles will be commanded by the generals themselves, and the weak links in defense will definitely be seized by Li Shimin at the first time. There are too many people in Datang who are dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng, especially the family gate valve.

No matter when, they can add to Li Jiancheng's blockage, and they will definitely not give up such an opportunity.

Chen Ying said a little depressedly: "Your Majesty, why should we have to be passively defensive, why can't we take the initiative to attack?" ”

Chen Ying actually doesn't like passive defense, and the strategy he particularly hates is to clear the wilderness.

Although in this way, it is possible to exchange territory for a greater chance of victory, but after this kind of war, it is not actually a matter of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of yourself.

On the contrary, the implementation of this strategy is basically a complete defeat, and even if the enemy's attack can be repulsed, the key is that the war is burned on one's own territory, and the losses are all one's own.

The destroyed infrastructure, all of which is money, and astronomical sums of money. This kind of wound on the national level and the civil level will last for many years, and it will be difficult to recover for more than ten years or decades.

As far as the territorial strategy of the Celestial Empire in later generations is concerned, the original implementation was the coastal defense strategy and coastal defense strategy of the mainland, and the reason for the implementation of this strategy was that it was inferior to others. Helpless passive choice.

However, Datang is different.

Datang has the most powerful cavalry assault group in this era, with a total of more than 700,000 cavalry scale, no matter which direction it is thrown, it will instantly destroy the enemy like a torrent of steel.

Any strategy, any strategy, is actually useless at all, the only difference is that the casualties inflicted on the Tang army are greater or less.

The infantry of the Tang Army was the pinnacle of the cold weapon era, with the world's best armor, the sharpest horizontal knife, and the most powerful Mo knife and horse lance.

Chen Ying didn't understand very much, Li Jiancheng was obviously holding a Tianhu card in his hand, and he had to play it in circles, what was the real meaning? If you are cut off by others, won't you lose your life?

If Chen Ying stands in Li Jiancheng's position, Datang's strategy is definitely not a passive defense, but an active attack.

You can also count birds with one stone.

Dispatch most of the elite of the Tang Dynasty to give the tribes of Tubo, Tuyuhun, and even the Western Turks, Tiele, Xue Yantuo and other tribes a "chance", so that they can see the hope of defeating the Tang Dynasty, and the conspirators hidden in the Tang Dynasty will also jump up, and when the time comes, they will take the elite troops over and push them on the front line. Eliminate the hidden crises and threats within Datang in the bud.

Datang needs to build a network of galloping roads along the way, and what is lacking now is not steel resources, nor money, but labor, and all potential threats or enemies of Datang can be converted into free labor by means of war, which can definitely make Datang's national strength rise to a higher level.

There is another advantage, that is, those who can't wait to jump out will be beaten and afraid, and when Li Shimin wants to win them over in the future, they will consider whether this will be a strategy for Li Jiancheng.

Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, there are many such people.

"Take the initiative?"

Li Jiancheng's brain instantly opened a wide door.

After more than three years of preparation, Li Jing has built more than 100 30,000-stone ships in Jiangnan, and Datang's ocean-going transportation capacity has increased to more than three times from less than 40,000 people.

Now the scale of the Datang Naval Division has exceeded 100,000 horses, and the Marine Corps of the Marine Division, which was not originally there, has also expanded to 54 Zhichong Mansions.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough to attack the Fusang Continent just by relying on these fifty-four Zhechong Mansions, right?" ”

Chen Ying nodded.

He led Li Jiancheng to his study.

For a man, the most intimate place is definitely not the bedroom. What's more, Chen Ying's wife is still Li Jiancheng's third sister, so there is absolutely no secret in Chen Ying's bedroom.

For men, the biggest secret is the study.

Chen Ying is no exception, Chen Ying's vault, treasure house, and even the account room, Li Xiuning can come and go at will, but no one can come and go in the study except for Gao Wenjin, who is in charge of cleaning.

The study that the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Xiuning entered was actually just the furnishings of Chen Ying's study, and the most important part was the door behind the bookshelf.

Along the small door less than six feet wide behind the bookshelf, along the winding corridor, Li Jiancheng followed Chen Ying to the real study.

The study room is very large, and even Li Jiancheng has to admit that Chen Ying's study is even bigger than the imperial study.

However, the contents were an eye-opener for Li Jiancheng.

There are too many secrets hidden in this, such as four wheels, a car with no panniers at all, an iron bird with two pairs of wings, a strange car with two wheels and a thick pipe, and even rows of steel pipes placed on the wall......

Li Jiancheng found that there were more than two-thirds of the things in this so-called study, and he had never even seen or heard of them.

However, Chan should turn a blind eye to all of these things.

Chen Ying took Li Jiancheng straight to a huge map. On this huge map, which is about 16 zhang long and about 2 zhang and 4 feet wide, Datang only fought a small part, and Chang'an is only a point on the map, and even the wide Yellow River and the Long River are just a line.

The tall and majestic Huashan and Qinling Mountains are not as big as a palm.

This map directly subverted Li Jiancheng's three views, but as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng is very familiar with the directions of all the states in the world.

Li Jiancheng asked in surprise: "Fusang Datang is so big?" ”

Chen Ying smiled and stroked his finger in the direction of Goguryeo, and then continued to draw northeast along Goguryeo.

Li Jiancheng looked in the direction of Chen Ying's finger, and his gaze slowly became dull.

……

Don't look at Li Shimin as a king, but he is a crazy gambler in his bones.

At the beginning, before the Xuanwumen Change. Li Shimin chose to launch a military coup, but in fact, the probability of success is very low. However, Li Shimin did it instead.

The problems faced by Li Shimin in Fusang Datang are far more complicated than those of Li Jiancheng, and the difficulty can be called the level of rebellion.

There is no way, although Fusang Datang has an incomparably generous grain output, whether it is technology or equipment, there is an insurmountable dynastic gap with Datang.

When Datang had already played with high-carbon steel, Fusang Datang was still in the Bronze Age.

When Datang's four-wheeled carriage was already carrying more than 6,000 catties of heavy objects and speeding on the gallop road, Fusang Datang had just begun to slowly use the wheelbarrow, and the concept of this unicycle was brought over by Li Shimin or Zhang Zhongjian.

When Fusang began to slowly popularize the two-wheeled ox cart, the steam engine of Datang had already pulled the whistle and began to gallop on the land at a speed of 1,000 day and night.

Li Shimin has no way to solve these backward problems.

Now, however, he has become obsessed with a legend of the Yin Fu Bu tribe.

The Yin Fubu tribe is one of the hundreds of thousands of tribes in the Fusang Continent, they have no written language, but they have left this epic "Legend of the Kingdom of Heaven" by word of mouth.

In this "Legend of the Heavenly Kingdom", it is recorded in detail how the "secluded" city bewitched Di Xin, and how with the help of the traitor, he took advantage of the emptiness inside the Yin Kingdom to defeat the Yin Kingdom.
