Chapter 318: The Storm
"It's time to fight back!" Li Er doesn't care much about things in the court now, but he is still more concerned about this matter. After taking the medicine, I will also think about it, and Li Ke and his important ministers are also on the side.
Originally, he was worried that Li Ke would do Lao Yang's trick after he came to power, but Li Ke is now discussing with Lao Fang and them to start a plan to revise Tang Law. Later, in addition to plotting treason, the Tang Dynasty was sentenced to death for major crimes such as treason, malicious murder and **** women, and a large number of other criminal laws were changed to exile.
Now that the territory of Datang is getting bigger and bigger, people are needed everywhere, in Li Hao's words, everyone is precious, and it feels a pity to kill his own people casually.
When the wicked go elsewhere, they are driven to one place alone. If he wants to do evil, it depends on whether he has this condition, if they are interested in those natives, then they can toss whatever they want.
And as the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army became stronger and stronger, those exiled in the territory had to consider whether they could do it if they wanted to do something. Rebellion and treason are the road to death, and there is no need to think about it.
"The ones who should have jumped out are basically jumping out now, and these are the consequences of being too lenient with them before. Now that you are ready, this time you will fight for the power to eradicate them. "You don't have to care about state affairs every day, Li Er also has time to think about the things he did before.
Look at the place where Li Hao shot, and then look at the place where he conquered before, sure enough, there are endless troubles. On the other hand, Li Ke may have less trouble if he let Li Ke take the position earlier.
It is difficult for Li Er's body to fully recover, and Lao Sun has to check him regularly every day, just to let him live for a while longer. Li Zhi didn't let Lao Sun enter the palace for Li Er to check before, which delayed Li Er for a lot of time, and was stimulated by Li Zhi's affairs, which is the main reason for Li Er's current state.
Li Ke did a good job in this regard, and arranged for several famous doctors who were well-known in Datang to take full-time care of Li Er, although Lao Sun was not full-time, but he would enter the palace every day. But Li Ke himself did not live in the palace, he lived in the prince's mansion.
Li Zhi's experience is still there, in fact, Li Ke has paid attention to women over the years, but he doesn't want Li Er to have a pimple in his heart, so he directly makes it clear.
And after he ascends to the throne, these places will be completely changed, whether it is marrying a wife or a concubine, there will be restrictions on the number. He will show Li Er these things, and he will also discuss them with those important ministers.
In general, Li Ke's internal methods will become more and more moderate in the future, whether it is officials or ordinary people. Of course, those with dissenting intentions are not among them, such as what they are planning now.
Several important ministers of the Tang Dynasty and Li Hao, Li Ke and Li Er got together to discuss the plan for a counterattack. Those big cities on the front line can now drag the rebels for at least a few months in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and the weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty are now almost ready, and they can counterattack at any time, but before that, they must always take their lives to sacrifice the flag for this big war.
For example, now the Tang Dynasty is not a person with the same heart as the imperial court, whether it is a family or a local tycoon. Those who hoard and raise prices to make a fortune in the country are just right, the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the patriotic ideas that Li Hao has been preaching before have been thrown away by them, and they only have to get ill-gotten gains from this war, these people should be engaged in it, and the death penalty will be severe.
The first to be dispatched were the various chambers of commerce in Datang and the southern side, and these people were all organized by Li Hao. They had a large amount of food and living materials in their hands, and they were very cooperative with Li Hao and some orders from the imperial court.
As long as they cooperate with the Datang government to throw out these materials at parity, the prices that are now inflated in Datang will soon be suppressed. Then it is time to liquidate those who hoard and raise prices, and there is only one fate for these people who are caught, that is, the first evil will be punished and exiled to the new territory.
At this time, all the fleets that sailed around the world from the south returned, and except for a few who died of illness on the way, there were no major accidents on this voyage. And this voyage brought more outside news to Datang, and more wealth.
Many of the crops provided by Li Hao were found during this voyage. In addition to these, there were all kinds of wealth and treasures, and the news caused a great sensation in the south and quickly spread to the imperial court.
At this time, the situation of the entire Datang Dynasty was in a delicate situation, and the western and northern fronts were in full swing, and a large number of people died every day. However, the imperial court did not invest a large amount of material resources and manpower in the front-line war, but set off a vigorous movement in the country to liquidate investment and make the country difficult to make money, which lasted for more than a month, and basically liquidated all parts of the Tang Dynasty.
Those who hoarded and raised prices were originally suppressed by the imperial court and the Datang Chamber of Commerce, and they didn't make any money at all, but because of such an action, they let their heads be exiled with their families in different places, and they were also announced to the whole country by several paper media in Datang, so that all people could see the sins and fate of these people.
After the campaign to purge the investment, it was time for Datang to start a full-scale counterattack, in fact, at this time, those rebellious alien races had begun to regret it after attacking Datang's towns and throwing too many lives. Datang's strength is still so strong, and it has not become out of control because of Li Er's illness.
The previous territories came so easily that they were completely carried away by the small benefits they received. Now, after more than a month of hard work under these big city walls, there was no progress, and a large number of lives were lost, so that they began to calm down and reflect on whether there was anything wrong with their attack.
But at this time, it was too late for them to start reflecting, and after rectifying the country, Datang's counteroffensive began, and the first to launch a counteroffensive was the northeast front, because on the whole, the strength of this front was the weakest, and persimmons always had to be pinched softly.
The real commander of the Northeast Line is Xue Rengui, and there is also a veteran to press the formation. Lao Xue himself is a natural handsome talent, coupled with the fact that he studied at the Military Academy for a period of time and was nurtured by the Tubo War, Comrade Xiao Xue is now very highly regarded in the military.
The news sent from the capital told Xue Rengui that the Southern Navy of the Tang Dynasty would cooperate with the battle on the northeast front and prepare to attack the northeast direction by sea. Xue Rengui immediately knew that the time for a counterattack was up, so he put out all the artillery prepared for him, and it only took one day to scatter the combined forces of the Khitan, Xi, Murowei and Goguryeo in the northeast that had besieged them before, and fled.
According to Li Hao's meaning, since he came, don't think about leaving so quickly, so the Tang army on the northeast front immediately chased after him, and did not try to block the footsteps of the Tang army with a tall city wall like the Tang Dynasty. Just the sticks and those alien kind of broken walls, with a few shots of artillery, they will be blasted open, and by the way, many soldiers on the city wall will be killed.
Soon, the Tang army on the Northeast Front not only recovered all the lost territories, but also pushed the war further north in the northeast until these tribes were completely wiped out. According to Li Hao's words, that is, if the grass is cut and the roots are not removed, the spring breeze blows and grows.
The Khitan, Xi, Murwei and Goguryeo countries left too much damage to China to future generations and must be completely destroyed. In addition to instructing Xue Rengui to thoroughly implement the policy of emancipating serfs, there is also the fact that all the members of the nobility and fighting power in these places must be defeated or escorted back to the Tang Dynasty to be punished.
The progress of the navy was also very fast, the kind of small port city was bombarded with a few shells and then the city surrendered, and even the later Vladivostok was taken down by the Tang army to build a base, and the rest was to take in the prisoners and count the wealth.
At the same time, all the soldiers were divided into pieces, walking through the streets and alleys, beating gongs and drums, and posting notices everywhere, which was specially requested by Li Hao to be sent out, and the previous words of the Goguryeo king's immorality were counted, and then all the slaves and maids in the city were released unconditionally.
To the surprise of all the marines, the city surrendered with just a few shots, but when the slaves were unconditionally freed, they were met with a strong backlash from the city's wealthy people, who still had a lot of power in their hands.
However, no matter how they rebounded, Tang Jun had already prepared. And this time it was not Li Er's Eastern Crusade, all the plans were carried out according to Li Hao's plan to sweep other places in the past, as long as he dared to jump out, he would be wiped out.
Under this plan, the Tang army quickly wiped out all the rich people in the city. This harvest was great, and all the countless grain wealth hoarded by those rich people went into the hands of Tang Jun.
Those freed slaves were full of food provided by the Tang Army, and then under the flickering of various promised policies, they energetically helped the Tang Army count and carry the booty. Because the Tang army said that if you perform well, you will not only be able to eat enough every day, but also have various rewards, and when the Tang army liberates Goguryeo, you can also get the fields and become free people, which is the dream life of all slaves, so they are all full of energy.
In addition to these, the relocation of the people of Datang is also strictly carried out. A large number of tribal nobles on this side were raided or killed, leaving a huge population gap in these places. In addition, all the aborigines here were abducted and trafficked by Li Hao to Nanyang, Taiyangzhou and other places, and it was up to the Tang people to make up for this gap.
And the land and other resources in these places have all been redivided once, so that the people who have migrated over can enjoy countless times better treatment than in Datang, which also greatly makes up for the grievances of those people.
