Chapter 363: Asking for Help
Li Shimin hadn't been on the battlefield in person for more than three years, and the most recent one was before Qin Hao crossed over, facing the shame of Jieli Khan.
Thinking about the past three years, the Tang Dynasty is really remarkable, first killed the strongest competitor in the surrounding area, the Eastern Turks, and then destroyed the unruly Tuyuhun, and now he personally led the troops to attack Goguryeo, which indirectly destroyed the former Sui, and he was also full of confidence to destroy the country.
Three years and three wars to destroy the Three Kingdoms, this speed is faster than the original history, I don't know where it goes, according to common sense, the country that uses troops so frequently has already collapsed, and the soldiers will also have war-weariness, but in fact, the Tang Dynasty is still like a rainbow, and there is no problem with the country's finances, Fang Xuanling swore in a letter yesterday that even if this battle is fought for another eight months, there is no pressure on the treasury, and there is no need to even tighten the belt.
This made Li Shimin complacent and proud, thinking about what a bad mess he faced when he first ascended the throne, and now the strength of the Tang Dynasty has even far surpassed that of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and the common people have not become victims of his flaunting history, and the quality of life is getting higher and higher year by year.
I am indeed the Holy Monarch of the First Emperor of the Ages.
But all of this seems to be inseparable from one person: Qin Hao.
All the changes in the Tang Dynasty started after Qin Hao came to prominence, don't look at him now, he is not the prime minister yet, but his status in Li Shimin's heart is only high, not low, but this stinky boy will never give him peace of mind like Fang Xuanling, but will always be the one who is in trouble.
Although it turns out that as long as his problem is solved, the result is really good afterwards, but the problem is that the process of solving the problem is really hard.
For example, now, he didn't worry so much about fighting, but he was scratched by Qin Hao's fold of paper.
Qin Hao's excerpts are sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, but there are only two central ideas: asking for people and power.
Let's talk about the dignitaries first, but he's at war on this side! It's still a national war with a powerful country like Goguryeo! Open your mouth is the elite of 100,000 passes, how are you embarrassed to say this? He has a total of 340,000 troops in his hands, and about half of them are Hu people, so why don't you turn into another 100,000 troops.
There were some small moves on Silla's side, and he knew this, but Qin Hao's handling method was inevitably too radical, so that Li Shimin couldn't accept it for a while.
Originally, when encountering this kind of thing, according to his meaning, it was nothing more than to send a will to reprimand the Queen of Silla, hoping that they would be able to restrain themselves, but if they couldn't do it, they could only bring the cattle back to them, and the big deal was not to open up a second battlefield, and then settle accounts with the Silla Autumn Queen after the battle.
Anyway, he has been full of confidence so far, even if there is no second battlefield, he is sure to go to Pyongyang City to celebrate his achievements with the soldiers.
But Qin Hao obviously went to tear his face, and when he went up, he arrested the queen of the people, and let a former Tang lieutenant supervise the country in Silla, which is clearly going to die!
The little Silla Datang naturally doesn't take it very seriously, but do you have to take this diplomatic influence into account, diplomatic influence, why is it still an ally one moment ago, and the next moment it looks like it is going to destroy other people's countries?
The Khitan Khan lives not far from him, and the dirty work is all done by others, if this matter is known, how dare you help you fight with all sincerity.
Seriously, if this matter were done by another person, Li Shimin might have been dismissed and investigated directly, as for Niu Jinda's department, then he could only say sorry, after all, as the emperor, he must start from the overall situation.
But with Qin Hao, this matter really has to be pondered.
Li Shimin believes that although Qin Hao is young, he still does things more or less, and in his impression, Qin Hao is not an eagle character, this guy is like a civilian official far more than a military general, advocating moisturizing things silently, using economic means to achieve military goals, when chatting in peacetime, except for the prejudice that often grits his teeth when mentioning Tibet, he is more like a pacifist at other times, and there must be a deep meaning behind doing things like this.
It's a pity that Qin Hao's little rabbit cub didn't come to report in person, and only handed in a plan, so that he couldn't ask in person, and Qin Hao's set was unfathomable, and you couldn't understand it if you didn't give you a detailed explanation, anyway, Li Shimin looked at the plan for a night, and he was still confused.
In Qin Hao's plan, the additional 100,000 troops were not used to start a war with Silla, but more of a deterrent, and at the same time, to use this intricate relationship to develop an economic layout for Silla, and those economic layouts were also agreed with Silla before.
In other words, he will try his best to maintain the alliance between Silla and the Tang Dynasty, just demarcate the concession in advance and other things that have been discussed before, well, this guy has tied up the queen, but said that he will maintain friendly relations between the two countries, which is really a genius.
In Qin Hao's plan, of the additional 100,000 people, about 5,000 were used as the escorts of the big bull, and the other 50,000 people were responsible for the construction of the concession, and they would also stay in the so-called concession for a long time in the future, and this concession, according to his own words, would become the economic center of Silla and Baekje in the future.
The rest is to support Niu Jinda, so that even without Silla's containment, he can defeat Baekje and successfully open up a second battlefield.
In addition to the soldiers, this guy still needs power, anyway, it is the affairs of Silla and Baekje, and he still listens to Niu Jinda militarily, but politically he listens to him, and he hopes to have full authority to handle all administrative affairs related to the two countries, and report to him, the emperor, afterwards.
Li Shimin naturally didn't know what the provisional governor of the colony was, but this did not prevent him from understanding this, anyway, according to Qin Hao, the country of Silla would be a scourge sooner or later, but it was inconvenient for the Tang Dynasty to do it, if this matter was handed over to him to operate, he could surrender the country without a fight without a fight, and turn Silla into several counties of the Tang Dynasty.
In his understanding, these words are basically equivalent to crazy words, but for the sake of Qin Hao's creation of so many miracles in just a few years, Li Shimin really wants to give it a try.
So after thinking about it, Li Shimin agreed in principle to his arbitrary power in the administrative affairs of Silla and Baekje, and the military belonged to Niu Jinda, but in major matters, Qin Hao still had to be controlled by Niu Jinda, and he was still one and two chief managers.
As for the 100,000 soldiers, it was purely Qin Hao's lion opening his mouth, Li Shimin still wanted to break the Yalu River, it was impossible to send people at this time, after thinking about it, he decided to transfer 20,000 people from his Chinese army to support, and the rest would be handled by the Qing Gang himself, and he could increase the number of soldiers in the Qing Gang, but Yongye Tian did not.
This is actually a bit of a hooligan, but after Qin Hao received the will, he looked up to the sky and roared, and he almost didn't jump up in excitement. ()
