Chapter 1914: Being young is the greatest advantage
The Han and Tang dynasties are all very martial countries, and the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the last martial country in the Han Dynasty, so in the end it was also played bad for the military generals, and the Song Dynasty was overkill, resulting in the Central Plains' literary style was relatively prosperous, and then the martial style has been very sluggish, and now capitalism is rising again, this capitalist greed and martial style, plus these upstarts are a group of young aristocratic classes, all of them are strong, and the aristocratic class itself has a traditional idea of going out and going out. How can they endure this!
The kind of beastly desire they showed was actually something that made Han Yi feel more gratified, and the reason for this desire was very simple, not to mention capitalism, if this person was not greedy, then he would be content with the status quo, and it would be difficult to progress. Especially the geographical location of the Central Plains, on the whole earth, may be a little worse than the Americas, the land is vast, and the good things are here, so the Central Plains people often say that those islands and Jiaozhi are all places outside the country, not places for people to go, they need this desire more, they will go out, do not go, and always play by themselves.
However, this Wa Kingdom is really not in Han Yi's main plan, it belongs to the kind of fight that can be fought or not, because he knows that in addition to volcanoes and earthquakes, there is a little bit of silver, but compared to the silver of the Americas, it can't even talk about a dime, and there is really nothing to be gained, if he passes by that day, he wants to build a port, it is still okay to fight, there is no need to make a special plan, and the whole of Southeast Asia is the main route of his overseas expansion.
For today's Datang, it is to cultivate internal strength, and external strength has actually been cultivated almost, just waiting for the weapon to be upgraded, as long as it is strong, many things will come naturally, and there is no need to be afraid of anyone at all. If anyone tells them that after a thousand years, the Japanese will come to fight us, and we have to take precautions, any people in the Tang Dynasty will think that you are crazy, and those monkeys on the island can also beat us, how is this possible.
But Yuwen Xiumi They talked more and more energetically, they thought that there must be some big coal mines in the Wa Kingdom, big copper mines, big iron mines, because the Yuan family found a super open-pit coal mine in Lelang Prefecture, and the quality of the coal was very good, much better than that of the Central Plains, and it had already made a profit. If you can fight a small battle, you can provide them with productivity, raw materials, and markets, of course, this must be fought!
Han Yike ignored them, and constantly emphasized to them that this production technology is the king, and after eating with Wu Kelie, he threw Wu Kelie to Yuwen Xiumi and them, giving them space to talk about Persian women, and he himself ran to Chen Shuozhen.
.....
"You seem to have been pretty quiet lately."
Chen Shuozhen handed Han Yi a cup of hot tea and sat next to him.
Han Yi said with a little excitement: "Who said this, I've been very busy lately, I can't sleep well every day, I'm really tired." ”
Chen Shuo was really surprised: "Then why do you still come to me from time to time?" ”
Han Yi said: "Of course it's because of love!" ”
Chen Shuozhen was stunned, a trace of blush floated on his face, he glanced at him, and said, "When are you going to let me go to Laizhou?" ”
Han Yi said: "Isn't it that it hasn't been done over there yet, once it's done, I'll let you take it over." ”
Chen Shuozhen snorted softly: "You really lie without blinking!" ”
Han Yi blinked and said, "How do you say this?" ”
Chen Shuozhen just looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
After a while, Han Yi took the lead in defeat, smiled, and said, "Although that plan is not a small plan, it is not an urgent matter, and there is no need to rush it." ”
Chen Shuozhen said directly: "But I don't want to stay here every day. ”
Seeing her resolute face and knowing her temperament, Han Yi sighed: "Okay, I'll let you go over after the New Year." ”
Chen Shuozhen said: "Don't lie to me again." ”
"Never."
Han Yi stretched out his hand and gently pulled her into his arms, and sighed: "It's really my current limited ability, I can't let you see the light of day again, otherwise, you don't want me to let you go." ”
Chen Shuozhen smiled: "I think this is also very good, with your current status, there are many things, it is inconvenient for too many people to know, so you can only let the people around you do it." ”
Han Yi's face was a little moved when he heard this, but he felt even more guilty in his heart, and kissed her forehead.
.....
.....
After staying at Chen Shuozhen's place for a whole day, Han Yi returned to the city, he was originally going to go to the household department to have a look, because he had to study the current state of productivity, but as soon as he arrived in the imperial city, he was summoned by Li Zhi to the Liangyi Palace.
When he came to the Liangyi Palace, there were two people sitting in the hall, one Li Zhi and one Li Ji, and he heard very good news as soon as he sat down.
This news is that Lu Dongzan died of illness not long ago, and he has not survived this winter.
Now they suddenly realized why Tubo quit Xiao Bolu so happily because of Xiao Bolu, and he didn't even let out a fart.
But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Lu Dongzan is dead.
I have to admit that the Tang Dynasty has always been very jealous of Lu Dongzan, that Lu Dongzan is definitely a generation of heroes, can be prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, but also able to survive around the Tang Dynasty of the country, in fact, that is, Tubo, and the national strength is also the same as the Tang Dynasty, showing an upward trend, this is not easy, of course, this is related to the geographical location of Tubo, but Lu Dongzan also played a very key role.
Han Yi is the same, he is very happy, he will not feel any regrets, Lu Dongzan still did not die in his hands in the end, because in several confrontations, Han Yi did not take advantage of Lu Dongzan, but almost died in the hands of Lu Dongzan, but Han Yi doesn't care about this, he knows that there are many people in this world who are smarter than him, he thinks that his advantage is that he is young, he can boil his opponent to death, this is also a victory, and the body is the capital.
"Lu Dongzan died of illness, there will definitely be problems within Tubo, and the old minister thinks that my Tang Dynasty should treat him in the same way as others, and take the opportunity to send troops to Bailan to completely drive out the forces of Tubo from Tuyuhun."
Li Ji opened his mouth to send troops, because he knew where his duty was, that is, to lead troops to fight, and he usually didn't ask about internal affairs, so since Li Zhi summoned him at this moment and asked for his suggestions, of course he had the idea of fighting.
Li Zhi nodded slightly, his willingness to send troops became stronger and stronger, because there was only Tubo left around, so he looked at Han Yi and said, "What does Shang Shuling think?" ”
Han Yi said: "The minister thinks that it is better not to fight than to fight." ”
Li Zhi said: "How do you say this? ”
Han Yi said: "Lu Dongzan is the minister of Tubo, he is not the king, his death will definitely bring great turmoil to the internal affairs of Tubo, because there will be disagreements on the transfer of power, whether to return the power to their king, or continue to be inherited by the Lu Dongzan family." ”
Li Zhi said: "In this case, this is an opportunity for my Datang." Sikong Fangcai was also right, a few years ago, as long as there was a slight turmoil within the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo side immediately made small moves, and at this time we should also teach them some lessons, anyway, I don't hope to be able to cultivate with Tubo for a hundred years now. ”
Now that Datang and Tubo know each other, they may not be able to avoid this battle, but they have been fighting, but neither side has the ability to swallow each other, so they fight and make peace.
Han Yi said: "This is because our national conditions are different from those of Tibet, the national conditions of Tibet, it can only continue to expand externally, otherwise, there will be a lot of contradictions within them, but our words in the Tang Dynasty are now mainly focused on development, we are not treating others in the way of others, we are giving up what we are good at, learning what the enemy is good at, this is not a wise move!" ”
Li Ji said: "But after the internal situation in Tubo is stabilized, if we don't fight them, they may come to fight us, and then this battle will be even more difficult to fight." ”
Han Yi said: "Sikong's words are wrong, after the internal stability of Tubo, they will indeed be stronger than this period, but Sikong ignores our Datang own situation, Lu Dongzan's death, indicating that Tubo will definitely not have the energy to harass in my Datang frontier in the past two or three years, because they must first stabilize the interior, then they will definitely not dare to provoke the period, this will be the best period for the development of our Datang, because we have no worries, we can go all out to develop, and after two or three years, they are better than now, But the gap between them and us is far greater than it is now.
Moreover, if we send troops to Bailan and expel all the forces of Tuyuhun from the territory of Tuyuhun, then Tuyuhun will inevitably become stronger, so what reason do we have to garrison there at that time? It is precisely because Tubo is eyeing the side that Tuyuhun needs the help of our Datang very much, and with economic assistance, they have become more dependent on us. There is also the Western Regions, and it is also because of the pressure of Tubo that the vassal states over there must rely on our Tang Dynasty, which is of great help to our forces in the Western Regions.
In addition, if we start a war against Tibet at this time, then the other side may use our troops to quickly stabilize the internal affairs, and then unite with the outside world, which will help the Tibet to avoid the internal friction between the Ludongzan family and the royal family, but we send people to express condolences and friendship, then they can concentrate on internal friction, based on these reasons, it is better to send troops than to send troops. ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and he seemed very hesitant.
Han Yi and Li Ji were also silent, they had already fulfilled their responsibilities, and the reasons for fighting or not fighting had been almost said, and the next thing was for the emperor to weigh it himself.
Although they are only two people, but the two of them have already represented the entire court, when the two sides are evenly matched, then the emperor can do whatever he wants, which is why the emperor does not want the court to be dominant, because if they have to fight, then the emperor has to fight even if he doesn't want to fight.
After a while, Li Zhi said to Li Ji: "Sikong, I think that the words of Shang Shuling are not unreasonable, we may not have completely eliminated the strength of Tubo now, and expelling Tubo from the territory of Tuyuhun may not be a good thing for our Datang, I am afraid that we will make a wedding dress for others." ”
Don't look at the Tang Dynasty is very friendly to Tuyuhun, but there is still a sense of precaution, because Tuyuhun was also very strong back then, it should not be sandwiched between Datang and Tubo, and it was on the main road of trade and strategy, and at that time, Tubo and Datang were on the rise, Tuyuhun could not withstand the continuous consumption on both sides, and the fall was also reasonable.
Li Jidao: "According to the old minister's opinion, a war with Tubo is a matter of time, this mountain does not tolerate two tigers, although we do not have enough strength to eliminate Tubo, but we can't always avoid the war with Tubo on the grounds that we can't eliminate Tubo, Lao Chen believes that we should step up the training of soldiers, create an elite army, and prepare for the future elimination of Tubo, at least we have to beat Tubo to the point that it can no longer turn over." ”
Li Zhidao: "I don't know what Sikong suggests? ”
Li Jidao: "Lao Chen thinks that because he should take turns to send Guanzhong soldiers to Tuyuhun, Khotan, Lengling, Fengxiang, Nanzhao, and other Tubo border training, so that they can adapt to the local climate, and small-scale wars often break out in those places, which can also improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, and strengthen the construction of military academies." ”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes!" Although the world is safe, it is time to prepare for it. ”
Han Yi and Li Ji said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
