On the palace construction site of Daming Palace, Li Zhi walked with his hands behind his back and his head down.

With the efforts of hundreds of thousands of workers for disaster relief, Daming Palace is rapidly taking shape, this palace is very magnificent, Li Zhi looks at this brand new palace mood is getting better every day. Living in the Taiji Palace, it seems that he can always feel the presence of his father, Emperor Taizong, and his grandfather, Emperor Gaozu.

He was very eager to get rid of this feeling, just as he was desperate to drive the eldest grandson Wuji and other elders out of the political hall.

The palace was built in a hurry, and a lot of money was spent, but he felt it was worth it.

"I still can't figure it out, shouldn't Li Xiao still sail on the Yangtze River now?"

Calculating the time, it has been less than a month since Li Xiao left Beijing, and in a month's time, starting from Chang'an, he has not yet arrived in Yangzhou.

But now the news reported by Wanqi Division is that Li Xiaoren is in Dengzhou. However, he had already gone to Goguryeo Pyongyang on the other side of the Dengju Sea for half a month and then returned to Dengju.

I can't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiao's boat is an improved Mulan boat, which is extremely fast, and he didn't stop much along the way, sailing down, all the way day and night, so it only took less than half a month to go to sea in Dengzhou Chishanpu." Master Zhang reported it truthfully, and he couldn't believe it for a long time when he got the news from the people below.

"Starting from Chang'an, it took half a month to arrive at the mouth of the Hunjiang River in Pyongyang, is Li Xiao's boat really so fast?"

"It's okay to go quickly."

Li Zhi stroked his beard.

"Even if Li Xiao travels by boat all the way, it will take at least a month or two to get from Dengzhou to Pyongyang, right?"

"Your Majesty, Li Xiao did not depart from the port of Dengzhou, but from the port of Chishanpu in Wendeng County, southeast of Dengzhou, using the method of direct sailing to the mouth of the Hunjiang River in Pyongyang. In previous years, when we were conquering Goguryeo in the Central Plains, we also sent sailors from Dengju to attack Pyongyang, but now it is autumn, so we can sail directly with the wind, and as long as the direction is not deviated, in fact, it only takes three days to reach the mouth of the Hunjiang River in Pyongyang. ”

Li Zhi nodded, and couldn't help but feel that Li Xiao was very bold. Still, he immediately caught a problem with the details.

"You said that Li Xiao took a direct flight to Pyongyang by the monsoon, but now that he is back, it is not always a tailwind, how did he come back?"

The Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty did send sailors from Dengzhou to Goguryeo several times, but when they went, they were all downwind, and when they came back, they were not so easy, and when they were not downwind, they still had to sail back around the coast.

But now Li Xiao obviously flew straight to the past, and came back by direct flight half a month later.

"Your Majesty, the minister has not yet found out this, but what can be known is that Li Xiao did fly directly to Pyongyang, and only half a month later, he flew back directly. Moreover, it took him only a few hours to arrive when he went, and only an hour to reach Chisan when he returned, and his ship made many trips back and forth, bringing back all the slaves and goods he had looted in Pyongyang. Nowadays, slaves and goods are all regulated in Chishanpu. ”

"How did Li Xiao do it?"

Li Zhi really couldn't figure it out, the Tang Dynasty had two important water routes, one was the Guangzhou Tongyi Sea Road, and the other was the Dengzhou Bohai Silla Sea Road, whether it was a north or south route, basically to sail along the coastline, and had to wait for the monsoon.

When you sail by the monsoon, when you come back, sometimes you have to wait for the wind, and you can only wait in the port for more than half a year before you can come back.

In the past, the Sui army and the Tang army had sent sailors to attack Goguryeo, and although they could also sail directly to Pyongyang by monsoon, they could not return the same way.

But now that Li Xiao has done it, and turned the voyage of the past few days into a few hours, how did he do it.

Too many doubts.

"Did Li Xiao really rob 8,000 people from Goguryeo?"

"Now it seems, yes. According to the information obtained by the minister, Li Xiao went out to sea from Chishan, sailed directly to the mouth of the Hunjiang River in Pyongyang, found a hidden desert island and stopped there, and then sent people to take a boat to the shore of the Hunjiang estuary to raid and plunder. ”

"Are the Goguryeo people stupid? How can Li Xiao be allowed to come and go there freely and do whatever he wants? ”

"Your Majesty, Li Xiao really does whatever he wants, his boat is big and fast, and there are many others. He recruited a tribe by himself, and the Cheng and Xue families each had a big boat to go to Baekje with Li Xiao this time, and there were also many people on the boat, such as Zheng Qinghe Cui in Xingyang, Li Xiao organized these people and plundered everywhere along the mouth of the Hunjiang River, and the Goguryeo people still haven't figured out where they came from, and they have always thought that a group of pirates are looting. ”

Li Zhi had nothing to say.

How does it sound so simple, I easily grabbed more than 8,000 Goguryeo people in half a month when I went to sea, and I could do whatever I wanted there, and I could get out of the way.

If it was all so easy, how could Goguryeo survive in Korea for 700 years? Isn't it long gone?

If Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty knows anything on the ground, he is afraid that the coffin board in Yangzhou will not be able to be suppressed, right? The people sent troops to Liaodong several times before and after, and even sent 1.1 million troops, but the power of the whole country never destroyed Goguryeo.

But now Li Xiao has three boats, but he can do whatever he wants near Pyongyang, tossing and turning for half a month, the Goguryeo people didn't even catch a single fart, and let them attack nearly 100 villages and towns, plundering more than 8,000 people.

How many people are there in the whole of Goguryeo?

The official statistics are 690,000 households, but considering that Goguryeo is an obvious slave feudal society, there will be a large number of slaves, etc., and those noble chieftains may have a lot of hidden slaves, and if they count more, there will never be a population of 10 million, and it is estimated that six or seven million will be the end.

Li Xiao robbed 8,000 people in one time.

"Your Majesty, in fact, what Li Xiao did is not so good, this is the same as the Turks on the steppe who went south to raid our northern frontier and kidnap the population. It's just that he was caught off guard, and Li Xiao never attacked Dacheng from beginning to end, nor did he fight the Goguryeo army. ”

"The more that's the case, the better it becomes. In the past, Li Xiaoxian's Pingliao Policy also said that he would attack the Goguryeo coast from the coast, but the imperial court never really paid attention to this article. And now you see, Li Xiao himself has done this to the extreme, and he has achieved such great results without hurting a single soldier, which is admirable. ”

Li Zhi was even thinking that Li Xiao was really a soldier talent, and the Pingliao policy he had offered in the past was only regarded as a soldier on paper. But people are now telling the world with facts, in fact, people not only talk about soldiers on paper, but also really use soldiers very well.

With only a few trilogy guards, plus a little family member from the accompanying families, people were stunned to get out of the momentum of the sailors all the way to the army, and they also played a great record.

"Li is so relieved!"
