"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Li Xiaogong has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and he doesn't dare to pack a ticket for anything else, but for the mere Linyi Kingdom, Weichen is still confident that he will capture the entire territory." Li Xiaogong patted his chest and said confidently.

"But you besieged and occupied the city for a month before, and tens of thousands of Tang soldiers died in battle!" Li Yuan struck.

It's not a good thing to be too flamboyant.

When the emperor can't just praise his courtiers, he must learn to suppress, that is, as the saying goes, beat a stick and give a date.

The fief of Lin Yi is Li Xiaogong's jujube, so the stick......

Li Yuanke didn't want to reprimand verbally, he glanced at Li Xiaogong and scolded: "Lin Yi is just a small state, a few years ago, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and Li Ji, the Duke of the British, destroyed the Eastern Turks, how many people died?"

Killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self-inflicted losses is your great feat? “

"Your Majesty teaches you ....." Li Xiaogong looked embarrassed and cowardly.

"But....." Li Yuan pondered for a while, "the pension of the 40,000 Tang Army needs to be paid for by you, the King of Chu, and this title......

The country of Linyi is only a county, and I want to demote you as the king of Linyi and divide half of the country to you, but I don't know if you agree or not! “

If it was replaced by other reasons, Li Xiaogong would definitely be dissatisfied, but now the Emperor Taishang has descended and secretly ascended, downgraded his prince by one level, and then sealed half of the territory of Linyi Kingdom, that is, half the size of a county, which is true.

It's better to have a solid hand than a false name.

And compared with the original Hejian County King, the title of King Chu also feels a lot of pressure on his head, after all, only the prince of the entire Li Tang clan can be named the king of one word, and the other clansmen, no matter how great the credit is, is also a county king.

Whoever puts it in his heart, who doesn't make trouble in his heart!

Therefore, Li Xiaogong not only did not feel dissatisfied in his heart, but looked at the Emperor Taishang and his dear uncle with gratitude, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to cut the knight!" Wei Chen is also willing to pay half of the pension of the 40,000 Tang Army, but Wei Chen has one condition...... "

He cautiously glanced up at the Emperor Taishang, and found that the Emperor Taishang was just looking at him with a smile, and the courage in his heart also increased, and he said: "The minister dares to let His Majesty seal the city to his nephew, Linyi is only a county land, and the land is small and the people are few, only this city can be regarded as a place of ointment." ”

He was very clever and substituted himself as the nephew of the Emperor Taishang from the title.

In fact, this kind of bargaining and negotiation of the title is not a forbidden area that cannot be mentioned, and it is normal for close clans to ask for this.

Li Yuan naturally agreed, and divided Li Xiaogong into 30,000 soldiers and horses, and ordered him to sweep away all the "rebels" in Linyi within half a month!

Well, for the Celestial Empire, all barbarians are rebels!

Only half of the 30,000 soldiers and horses divided into Li Xiaogong were Tang troops, and the rest were Nanban.

Before Li Xiaogong pulled out the camp, Li Yuan secretly instructed Nanban to do more slaughter, and the Tang army to be a good man, so that it would be convenient to completely recover the Linyi country at that time.

In the covenant between the Emperor Taishang and the Nanban, the land was to be divided into the Nanban.

Li Yuan naturally would not do such a dishonest thing and regretted it. However, the most powerful thing of the Han people is not force, but thousands of years of experience and wisdom.

There must be rebellions large and small in the newly conquered areas, and these thorny things are handed over to the Nanban, and the Tang army hangs high, and when the Nanban and the people of Linyi have a conflict, then ...... The invading Don army will also become amiable.

However, on the fifth day of entering the city, the conflict completely intensified.

This contradiction was beyond Li Yuan's expectations.

The Tang army not only robbed the money of the people who occupied the city and occupied their wives and daughters (these are all acquiesced by Li Yuan, this is how wars were fought in ancient times, and only when there is a head can there be blood and bravery. Then, after three days of non-stop stabbing, almost the entire city of Cham was bloodied, and women and children were sold as slaves by Tang soldiers.

As a basic unspoken rule, no soldier will meddle in his affairs.

But Mu Baiyi's brocade guards fought with Tang Jun.

Affected by the war, there are many orphans who are displaced, so Mu Baiyi thinks that these orphans are innocent and cannot be sold as slaves, but the soldiers do not eat this set and still go their own way.

Li Yuan had a headache, how can there be peace in war, it is nothing more than a self-proclaimed civilized person beating another group of "uncivilized" people for various reasons.

War is sinful, but it is sacred to help the country.

It is nothing more than to talk about the problem from that point of view.

This time, Li Yuan decided to stand on the side of the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army.

"Mu Baiyi, don't play with the child's temper, there are so many orphans, even if the treasury is abundant, they can't afford it, not to mention that the money to raise the child is still allocated from my palace, do you really want me to starve to death?" Li Yuan rolled his eyes and looked at Mu Baiyi, who was holding his knees on the bed and silently speaking.

Because of Li Yuan's partiality, Mu Baiyi went on strike directly, and she had no ability to deal with Li Yuan, so she could only take this kind of Cold War measure.

Even though she knew it might not work very well!

But for the sake of a faint sense of justice in the heart, he fought against it.

In short, it is not easy to eat the food of the imperial army and then sigh that it is not easy to resist Japan.

"Baiyi, there are a total of 300,000 people in this city, and there are more than 5,000 orphans, where can I afford them?

And are they raised to fight against me?

The old country has been destroyed, if it is muddy, you can still spend the rest of your life, but if you read the book and open your mind, then the Tang army and the people of the Tang Dynasty who will die in the future are not just such a few people! Li Yuan said coldly.

He remembered the Qing Dynasty students at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

It's almost like sending a group of students to rebel against the Qing Dynasty when they come back!

Hehe!

Who let you be Manchu, and the international students are almost all Han Chinese, the group of people who were enslaved, when they had not opened the people's wisdom before, they felt that loyalty was the first, but after opening the people's wisdom, you will find that your own nation has been enslaved and oppressed, as a nation of hundreds of millions of people, how can you be willing to let millions of people ride on their necks to show off their might?

The truth is so cruel, if the Qing Dynasty wanted to survive, it should not have started any Westernization movement and directly colluded with the foreigners to enslave the Han people, but he took the wrong path and let the people open their eyes to the world.

Yo! So our braids are so ugly?

"However, they are still children, watching them live under the ruins, the beautiful children are sold to the Faculty Division, and the ugly ones become slaves, how can you bear it?" Mu Baiyi was full of tears and wanted to cry.

Li Yuan shook his head with emotion, "No, they are children, they are innocent, but they are guilty of being born in Linyi Country, and it is not them who are guilty, but the country!"

This is a war, mercy will hurt you, and in my eyes, the life of a Tang person is worth the life of a hundred Linyi people!

You may think I'm extreme, but that's the way it is! ”
