Of course, Tubo will not sit idly by and watch the Tang Dynasty calmly annihilate Silla, and it will be good for Tubo to have this tenacious little cockroach to contain it. There was no way to fight anymore, and it was mainly the Tatar people who fought, but what the court moved out was real money. So he issued an edict not to ask about Jin Famin's crimes, and allowed him to negotiate peace with Li Jin under the purchase of Xiao Cheng. Therefore, there was some controversy in later generations in this battle, *** said that the Tang Dynasty army of 200,000 was defeated, and the Tang Dynasty negotiated peace. In fact, where did Li Jinxing conjure up an army of 200,000? Besides, what a shame the alliance under the city is!

Then he issued an edict to let Jin Famin's younger brother Jin Renwen, who was in the middle of the way, return to Luoyang, ran away, fortunately, and was crowned as the prince of Linhai County. This also marked that the Tang Dynasty began to focus on the west, and Silla and Baekje did not begin to pay attention. In fact, from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the east, there were many ministers who were right, but it was useless to gain them, and it was too difficult to conquer them. The Sui Dynasty fell, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was tyrannical, mainly two, one for the Grand Canal and one for the east. Wang Bo, who was the first to revolt in Changbai Mountain, Shandong, deliberately wrote a song of death in Liaodong.

And so it is.

But it's definitely not like this, it's just that the way of collecting is wrong, but Li Wei doesn't dare to say it.

I went to the battlefield again and knew that war was not that simple. His military knowledge may be stronger than some ministers in the DPRK and China, but can he still be stronger than Liu Renliang and Pei Xingjian? Or there is gunpowder, which can only think of some helpful effect, and will not be decisive. In that case, the Ming Dynasty had already controlled Liaodong, so why sit back and watch the Manchu Qing Dynasty be strong? How many gunpowder weapons were there at that time, even the cannons came out!

Therefore, he called a few brothers and said, "I want to go to Guangchengze, will you go?" ”

"Big brother, it's getting hot." Li Xian said.

I haven't come out of the shadows yet, and I'm not in good spirits.

"Don't forget, you're still a marching marshal."

"So what, even if I go to the battlefield, can I still be afraid that those Tibetan sons will not succeed?" This is self-defeating, if you are afraid of your mother, you can be afraid of the Tubo people!

"Do you really want to lead the army?"

Li Xian didn't say anything. I had persuaded him before, but when I saw this careless third child, I forgot about it, so I told the information of the Momen Army again, and said: "Let me ask you again, what do you see from this information?" ”

"The ambition of the Tibetan wolf."

"What else?"

"The city of Diezhou was not breached, the Tubo people were scared and retreated, and the Momen army did not catch up."

"That's that simple," Li Wei casually took out a map, marked the terrain of the Xilian Mountain, and then said that the Momen army was afraid of the enemy, and said: "Diezhou City is in the inner belly, and the city wall is not very tall, or it can only be said to be more prosperous than Wuzhou and Danzhou. And there is the danger of leaning the mountain to the west, and there are not many defenders in the city. Since the Tibetans invaded Diezhou, Diezhou is rich in the city, and the people outside the city still live in the mountains and are not very rich, so why not forcibly attack the city? Also, the newspaper said that hundreds of people were killed, how cruel the Tubo people were, third brother, do you know, why did they only kill so few people? It shows that there are few of them, and they are probably embarrassed to say it in the newspaper. Since there were fewer people, the Mormen army garrisoned 5,500 soldiers and 200 horses. Of course, the number of soldiers may be insufficient, so some generals are paid empty salaries and overreport the number of soldiers. But the number of horses is about enough. ”

"And what's going on?"

"Why not? Not only that, at the beginning of the founding of our dynasty, the soldiers were all fighting for a long time, the soldiers were brave and brave, and the famous generals were like clouds. In addition, the population is barren, many places are uninhabited, there are fields to reward, and the government soldiers are all transferred from all over the country, and their relatives are in the Central Plains, which can ensure loyalty. So the people were happy to be levied by the court. Even if there are border soldiers, they are only used in moderation, most of them are Hu against Hu, the number is small, the burden is still light, and they can also be rotated. However, the longevity of the country requires an increase in the number of soldiers. The increase in the number of people in various localities, the serious annexation, and the lack of land to reward have reduced the enthusiasm of the soldiers. Even in order to collect taxes, even the families of government soldiers are also within the levy. There is not enough Futian, a strong man is transferred, and there is one pillar missing in the family. In many areas, people no longer like to be soldiers, and even run away with arms wounded in order to avoid military service. However, there are many soldiers stationed at the border, and there are few soldiers, so they are not allowed to be rotated, and one garrison is five years, ten years, and twenty years. It turned out that the low-level soldiers still had rich rewards, but now they don't have them, so they have to fight their subordinates, not only falsely reporting the number of soldiers to receive military salaries, but also deducting the meager salaries of their subordinates. The troops are stationed in the territory, and the division is old and war-weary. Therefore, in addition to the fact that the imperial army went out to fight, the food and salary were sufficient, and the morale could be slightly high, the morale of the garrison in peacetime was low. This is the real reason why the Tubo invasion has few soldiers, and the Momen army does not dare to stop it. ”

"Why doesn't my father care?"

"It can't be managed, as long as it is not done too much, the general court will not ask at all. Third brother, this is what I read from this newspaper, if you ask Liu Xianggong, he will see more. If you grind it again, do you have the ability to lead the battle? ”

“……”

"Moreover, in order to invite merit, or forced by quotas, in order to make up the number of conscripts, or forcibly arrest to fill the source of soldiers, or recruit scoundrels, idle prodigals, or recruit rangers who do not abide by the law and discipline and are brave and brave, you have not paid attention, I have traveled to some places for the sake of the two channels, and I have seen some phenomena. Even though I was training the army, I also used the method that I came up with at that time to train the troops in a way that was similar to actual combat. But hee-hee-ha, there is no military discipline at all, just like a game. At the time, I wanted to say that I could think of the fact that there are different rich and poor people in different places, and that this method is very expensive to train the army, and it is necessary to prepare enough herbs and doctors. However, there is a shortage of funding for local capacity. So he forbears and does not report it, and can only say that it is better to practice than not to practice. No matter how many troops the imperial court allocates, the combat effectiveness of this army will be very low. To lead such an army and want to fight with the Qinling in Qinghai, there were less than two or three people in the entire Tang Dynasty. ”

Speaking of which, imagine that the third child is carrying a beautiful curved bow inlaid with gold and jade, holding a small thin sword weighing two taels in his hand, and wearing Mingguang armor is too heavy on his body, and he can't wear other armor to show weakness, or paste a Mingguang armor with paper, and then lead an army of more than 100,000 people, staring blankly on Qinghai, arguing with the Qinling, Li Wei has a bad chill.

"But eldest brother, although the imperial court has this edict, it has not been implemented for a long time, and if you really want to send troops, it will not be the third brother's turn," Li Xian said.

"It's hard to say," I left Luoyang, in case my father became evil, it was very likely, out of control, and let myself be angry, even more out of control, in case I thought that my other sons had the ability, or something to win, and share their own limelight. Everything is over. brought them to Guangchengze together, for fear that his father would be confused.

The eldest brother said it twice, it seems that he is not the material to lead the troops to fight. So he didn't dare to bet, and followed Li Wei to Guangchengze together. In fact, not long after they left, there was a movement in the imperial court, and they did not let Li Xian and Li Xulun go, but let Liu Renliang go, brought some troops, and served as the governor of Taohe Road and the ambassador to pacify, and then served as the governor of Shanzhou.

There are not many troops with it, and it is mainly garrisoned. The tone softened, and there was no ambition anymore, and the road became Taohe Road.

came back to the prime minister's seat before the buttocks were hot, and they arrived in Shanzhou again. It may be suspected that the prince is a close minister, but he is also the best candidate.

……

This was a major event in June in the Tang Dynasty.

But not long after Liu Renliang left, another incident happened. In fact, it had already happened before that. After the news was released, some businessmen who went to sea suddenly realized that what was the use of this island owner. It turns out that at this festival, it is not easy to catch the indigenous people overseas, and the indigenous people in some places are very barbaric, and the second is that they do not understand the language, and it is not easy to manage. But it's not impossible, large and small islands divide it, and it is impossible to form a big country, and some large tribes are looking forward to the ocean and sighing, but small tribes can still deal with it. It's really not good, several families have united and divided up a tribe.

Some people think that the prince deliberately took care of it, and some people think that the prince was negligent and had this loophole. Anyway, it's an opportunity, besides, if you look for it first, you can also find a good terrain, not all islands are suitable for planting, some are reefs, which can be submerged when the water is large, some are mountains, some places are too dense rainforests, and some places have no water sources. So act now.

Besides, the exchange of information is also beneficial to everyone, so the information of each family is handed over. In the end, it is still not accurate to compile this volume, and there is no way to be accurate with nearly 20,000 islands, large and small. But it is more valuable than the pebbles of different sizes painted by Li Wei.

Haven't puffed up yet.

Until the Lianglu Group separated, Yang Dahua and Chu Xiaosheng, who were from Chang'an. Then in the book, he vaguely said that the court was unfair to the good business, since it was a good businessman, and it was divided into grades, it was right to be selected by the whole country, but only the two capitals and the coastal area were selected. Or in order to build two canals and raise funds, we took out 50,000 yuan and also gave us a place to go to sea.

After the book arrived, some people scolded them for their treachery, but many more were amazed at their wealth. You must know that their share in the Liang Lu duo group is very small, only one place, so much money is taken out with a lot of money, how much money did Liang Jinzhu and Earth Horse make in the end? How profitable is this nautical downturn?

I sent someone to ask again, and the result was definitely not satisfactory to them, but this time I didn't believe it, or the person I asked was not in the right way, or the person didn't tell the truth, and made a fortune in a muffled voice. Finally, someone couldn't sit still, first the rich households in Jiangnan wrote a book, isn't it a good businessman, how many taxes we pay for the imperial court in a year, and even the imperial court's shipping ships are provided by us, and the imperial court needs money to build water conservancy, and we immediately take it out. Why not bring us with you?

First, it is close to Suzhou City, and the building near the water is the first to get the month, and the second is that there are many rich businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and the third is that the water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River is developed, and it has the basis of shipping.

Now that this topic has begun to be revealed, more people have finally written to the court, asking the imperial court to relax the quota again. No matter how much money you make, you can first go overseas and fence off a piece of land. The more people who fight, the more people will fight.

After Wu Zetian heard about it in the palace, he said to Li Shoucheng: "My son has seen through the essence of people. ”

The essence is one set of mouths, one set of hearts, and the mouth is ashamed to talk about profits, but in the heart is attracted by profits. It's not that you are not moved by the profit, it depends on whether the profit is thick or not. The method was revealed, and by this time, they all understood why the funds were mentioned, and the prince was confident. But the ministers smiled bitterly one by one, not knowing whether the idea was good or bad. If you want to dissuade, it's not a lack of money, this time it's not like the first time, it's just a wait-and-see, and even the merchants of Liangjing thought in their hearts that they would take out a sum of money, and they were blackmailed as the prince and Liangqu lacked money. If we don't stop it, what impact will this trend bring?

……

Mounted on his horse, he drew his bow, took aim, and with an arrow he fired, and a wild deer howled and fell.

Li Xian rode over excitedly, got off the horse, turned the wild deer over, wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Big brother, good archery." ”

Of course, if you practice with your heart, your archery can't catch up with Xue Ne, but you can grow quickly. Li Wei said: "Go back, fight the tooth sacrifice." ”

There were many people, and a deer was eaten in one meal, but it was a rare big prey, and a group of guards excitedly barred the wild deer back. When he arrived at the palace, Li Xian greeted him with a smile and came to Guangchengze, Li Xian was like a fish in water, Li Xulun was not idle, and the little sister Li Lingyue was going to come with her, but Wu Zetian was not accurate. However, Li Xian and Li Wei were in the middle of the hunt, and they did not forget to take time to read often.

"What a big deer."

"It's not big, from the sea to the north, there is a deer bigger than a horse."

"Bigger than a horse, what kind of deer is it?"

"The world is so big, there are no surprises, and there are some pythons on the islands in the South China Sea, so big that they can eat a live horse."

"Sisi," the three brothers gasped, but they liked to listen to the big brother Shannanhaibei's nonsense, and Li Xian was a little raw, and it was no exception.

I returned to the room, took a shower, and was about to read, when a guard outside ran in and said, "Li Xianggong's letter." ”

Lee Sang-gong is Li Jingxuan, and Lee Yi-yan is not qualified to be called Xianggong. Li Wei opened it and took a look, and Li Jingxuan told him to go back to Luoyang quickly, and there was something important to discuss. Li Wei didn't think about it, took the guards, and quickly returned to Luoyang, saw Li Jingxuan and asked, "Li Xianggong, what's the matter with shouting lonely?" ”

"Look at it," Li Jingxuan said, handing over a pile of letters requesting the reopening of the sea ban.

Li Wei flipped through and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Highness, why do you ask?" Li Jingxuan smiled bitterly. Who can disagree, disagree with where you will get money to make up for the holes in your two canals.

"Li Xianggong, don't worry, the cost of opening the canal after this autumn is enough. Don't rush for a while, let them get through it. Besides, you can't put too much, after all, every batch you put out, you always have to take some people out, and even the pros and cons in the middle can't be grasped. This is against the will, but if you let it go too far, there will inevitably be a greater dispute and impeachment. This is also the same as when the new river bori embankment is opened, first put a small opening to keep the water level in the new river, and then sit and watch. I can't wait.

"That's exactly what I said."

"Then you can dial a cursive script and issue an edict to the world, saying that the imperial court has set a hundred lists, and it is true to its word, and the number cannot be expanded."

"This ......"

"Li Xianggong, honesty is in your heart and mine, not in your mouth. On the Xinkai River, Lone said to Dr. Zhu that there are thousands of laws, and if you use it rightly, you will be evil. Speaking of this, Li Wei suddenly stopped, looked at Li Jingxuan suspiciously, and said, "Could it be that the Li family in Longxi has also moved his mind?" ”
