Chapter 316: Expanding the Territory?

"I should have given you half a year, or even longer, to take a break, but I can't wait that long, and Datang can't wait that long!" In the study, Li Yuanji said with an old and resolute attitude, helpless, but more entrusted.

"The minister eats the king, and he has been serving His Majesty all the time since that time, and the minister has already been prepared, and he will definitely live up to the holy hope!" Although I don't know what Li Yuanji wants to let him do, it will definitely not be a trivial matter to get the emperor to say such a thing.

And it was only now that Wang Xuance realized why the emperor had arranged a position for himself that was already manned, and let himself be idle for so long.

It would be false to say that I was not moved, and the haze in my heart before was also swept away with this summons and Li Yuanji's words.

There is nothing in this world that the emperor can't solve with a word, and if there is, then say another word.

"Do you know anything about Yamato?" Li Yuanji continued to ask.

For those who don't know much about history, they can only hold on to the only few historical cows they know.

Ma Zhou is one, Su Dingfang is one, Wang Xuance is one, and there are some others who have already emerged, but those people are not suitable for this kind of thing.

And so far, Li Yuanji really can't find another person who can compare with Wang Xuance.

Although the current Wang Xuance is still young and far from having the talent to destroy a country by one person in history, he is helpless, and he is the only one who can do this task.

Although he lacks ability, the good thing is that the support he can provide to him is far greater than in history.

"I've heard of it, but I still don't know the specific situation." Wang Xuance shook his head, he had only been back for less than a month, how could he know so much?

Li Yuanji suddenly felt that this product was a little off the chain, such a big thing, why don't you know? Thanks to me, I also deliberately arranged you in the Taoist Rites Department.

But if you think about it carefully, you will be relieved, how can this kind of historical bull make small mistakes that ordinary people are prone to make?

If they can't do this, no matter what happens in the future, at least for now, it will be difficult for them to rise.

"I have formed an ocean-going fleet, planning to go to Yamato to transport gold and silver back, this matter has been in charge of Xuan Ling before, the fleet is easy to build, but it is difficult to choose the right person, and the situation over there is extremely complicated, Goguryeo, Baekje, have always been my confidants." Li Yuanji said softly, his eyes directly on the map.

The map, which was drawn by Li Yuanji after he ascended the throne, is very rough.

The situation in Datang is slightly better, and the locations of the major cities are also relatively clear, not to mention whether they are accurate or not, the direction and distance are correct.

However, in other countries, only the location and the approximate location of the capital are marked.

This kind of map can be used for sightseeing, not to mention the army fighting.

"Your Majesty wants to attack Goguryeo and Baekje across the sea?" Wang Xuance frowned faintly, he was talking about Yamato before, but in the blink of an eye, he talked about Goguryeo, isn't the intention obvious?

Moreover, there is an example of Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo in the previous dynasty, and although the Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty, it was also a completely different dynasty, but in some aspects, it was still common.

For example, Goguryeo, which is becoming more and more uncontrolled, and Goguryeo, which has caused the Central Plains Dynasty to lose face several times.

No matter from which point of view, there is no doubt that Li Yuanji sent troops to fight Goguryeo.

"The ocean-wide attack is only one of the means, if I want to fight, I will inevitably attack from both the sea and land, so that Goguryeo does not know what to defend. It's just that it's not the best time to attack Goguryeo. Li Yuanji beckoned and motioned for Wang Xuance to approach.

Hearing Li Yuanji's words, Wang Xuance instantly relieved his heart.

Although Datang is strong, it is far from being strong enough to open a bow from east to west at the same time, not to mention that these two enemies are not simple.

One is Tuyuhun and Tubo, which occupy an absolute geographical advantage, and at the same time, there is also a Western Turk who wants to move his hips and hips, and he doesn't know when he will come up to take a bite.

And Goguryeo is also very difficult to fight because of its special geographical location.

It is not so much that the defeat of Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo was defeated by the Goguryeo people, but that the powerful Sui army was defeated by the mountains and rivers of Goguryeo, as well as the bad climate.

"Here, it is about 1,000 miles away from Donghae-gun in the west, hundreds of miles to Yamato in the east, and 1,200 miles away from Baekje in the north." Lee Won-gil took the opportunity to point out the location of Jeju Island on the map.

The current Jeju Island is not the Jeju Island of the future, it is still a barren place, even fishermen rarely come here, and only a few people live comfortably on it.

Well, even in the later generations, this is a very important strategic location, get Jeju Island, you can threaten the Bangzi Country in the north, the Devil Country in the east, and the Great Heavenly Empire in the west.

Don't be fooled by the illusion of tourism there, because you're going to die a terrible death.

Jeju Island was discovered, and he learned about it from the mouth of the Monobe cave, and at the same time, Lee Won-gil also deliberately inquired about some other information, and after several thoughts, he finally made a decision.

"Here, it must be taken!" Pointing to the location of Jeju Island, Lee Won-gil said unusually firmly.

Wang Xuance felt a thump in his heart, and he faintly felt out of breath.

This plan is too huge, and the location of the island is too good, once it is captured, it can directly threaten the three countries, and retreat can ensure the safety of one side.

But Datang did this, not to keep it safe, but to attack.

With such a powerful Datang, there is no reason to defend and not attack.

"Tuntian, training, in just a few years, here can provide material supplies for the soldiers of the Tang Expedition, and even directly provide military support, and such a paradise, surrounded by the sea, as long as the Tang Dynasty completely controls here, the news inside, no one knows outside, this is a natural place to hide soldiers!" Wang Xuance couldn't hide his excitement and said.

He didn't expect that Li Yuanji would give himself such a difficult task, let alone that he would have the same fate as Ma Zhou.

He never thought about failure, and he never thought about it, at this moment, the only thing on his mind was how to occupy this place, control this place, and make it the overseas granary of the Tang Dynasty, providing more support for the Tang Expeditionary Force, and even if necessary, killing an enemy by himself.

"Not bad!" Regarding Wang Xuance's reaction, Li Yuanji was very satisfied.

Although it is not too mature, just a little information from what I said can see the strategic position of Jeju Island, which is by no means something that ordinary people can do.

"Here, I want to hide 100,000 soldiers!" Li Yuanji said in high spirits, the emperor's spirit was unconcealed, "There is almost no one on the island, I will give you 5,000 troops, 2,000 craftsmen, and in two years, I will build a barracks here that is enough for 100,000 people to live, and cultivate the cultivated land to the greatest extent." ”

"Command!" Wang Xuance took a step back, his body trembling slightly, and he arched his hand.

Although there is no need to fight much, this is no different from expanding the territory, and Wang Xuance never thought that such a good thing would fall on his head.

But what I have in my heart is not a surprise, but I must complete the task, His Majesty gave two years, but he can't give two years, and the longest cannot exceed one and a half years.

Garrisoning troops overseas is still this kind of island.

Naturally, what is arranged cannot be the same as in China, and the army will attack Tibet, and it will take several years of adaptation and training at the border.

Although Wang Xuance has never been to sea, he has also heard that it is not easy to go to sea.

As soon as most people upload it, they will have a severe feeling of dizziness, and after a long time, they will vomit to doubt their lives.

Therefore, if you want to go to that island, the first task is to train these 5,000 soldiers not to get seasick.

If one by one vomits, not to mention much on the other side after they arrive, even if there are a thousand natives, they can be slaughtered completely.

Garrison Island?

Why not build a base and wait until there is a war before moving troops over?

Wang Xuance is very clear about the reason, the troops are stationed, what they want is an army that comes to fight and wins the battle, not the kind that needs to adapt when they come, and when they get used to it, they will either be defeated or ...... Without.

"Go, the ship is in the East China Sea, it has almost been built, and five thousand soldiers are there, and when you open it up, I will send craftsmen there." Li Yuanji waved his hand.

"No!"

Looking at Wang Xuance's figure gradually moving away, Li Yuanji has been thinking about a question.

Are the wars in Datang too frequent? At the current level of the economy, combined with the military reform system, it is simply not possible to support successive wars.

Although there was a preparation period of several years for the attack on Tibet, I didn't know what to do.

After all, it was a plateau, not an ordinary land.

After making it up for so long, the plateau war horses haven't been gathered yet, let alone others.

But soon, Li Yuanji shook his head.

The eastward advance is only a strategic preparation period, not a real war, what I have done is to prepare a marine corps for Datang that can attack from afar.

Goguryeo, Baekje, and Yamato, these three countries have actually been assigned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty in their hearts.

If the lives of the people in China can be made happy, the national territory can also be expanded, anyway, Li Yuanji thinks a lot.

No matter how many years future generations can keep it, at least one thing, future generations can say that since ancient times, such and such a place has been convenient for our country.

However, imagination is beautiful, and Li Yuanji found that it is actually quite difficult to do this.

Although the surrounding enemies are not strong, Datang does not even need the strength of the whole country to do this.

However, the restrictions in other areas are still very serious, especially in terms of transportation and the transmission of information.

History tells people that after a long period of time, even the most loyal ministers will have some other ideas.

'Why do I want to be an idle king?' Why is it that the more you do it, the more you can't be idle? Li Yuanji couldn't help but complain in his heart, now it is not him who is pushing things forward, but one thing after another pushing him forward.
