Even the initiator of the whole thing did not expect all this, and Li Shimin was able to use everything he could in a short period of time, which was already very remarkable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Shimin frowned and said: "I originally thought that it would take two or three years to have today's situation, and my Tang side has enough strength to go deep into the grassland to fight the Turks. In the current situation, it will not be more than a year or two at the latest. I, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely be able to take down the Turks with the Turks, and what worries me is here. Of course, that's just one of them! ”

"The external changes are okay and have little to do with us; Second, it is our internal affairs, this vigorous rule of officials, of course, has won a lot of corrupt officials, but also got rid of many small and medium-sized families who are gangsters, and released countless domestic slaves, these people will become the common people of the Tang Dynasty, but the problem came out again. First, there is no one to use in the ministry, and you know that it is absolutely impossible for me to compromise with the family; Second, as the New Year approaches, how to resettle these suddenly extra people and how to rationally distribute land is another big problem. These two points are what I am most worried about. ”

This time, many local governments were given a nest by Li Shimin's ministers. Therefore, there is a situation of anarchy and no officials in many places, and this kind of thing is fine for a day or two, but after a long time, there will definitely be big problems. The second is the problem of the resettlement of the people, this is simpler, as long as the land is divided fairly and justly, the people will naturally have no objections, but the key is that no one will help the people divide! If it is not handled properly, there may be a phenomenon of group fighting.

It is a great thing to reform the rule of officials and punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but because the Tang Dynasty has not been established for a long time, the foundation is shallow, and the talent reserve is insufficient, which also makes a good thing may evolve into a bad thing that shakes the foundation of the country.

"This is an indispensable labor pain before the Great Treatment, it should be a good thing!" Qin Feng couldn't understand Li Shimin's thoughts for a while.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, not necessarily." Can you know why your family's majestic ancestor was able to unify the six countries, and why was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty able to expel the Xiongnu and achieve great deeds? ”

"They are ambitious and ambitious." Qin Feng pretended to be stupid and replied without hesitation.

"This is one of them!" Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The real key is money...... After the Qin State knew that Shang Martingale changed the law. Qin Xiaogong, Qin Huiwen, Qin Wuwang, and Qin Zhaoxiang were the most outstanding emperors in Chinese history for four consecutive generations, and then Qin Xiaowen and Qin Zhuang Xiang were of course mediocre people. However, the rise of Lü Buwei made the Qin State stabilize its state of power. On the other hand, the six countries of the Central Plains are drunk, dreaming and dying, intriguing and deceiving each other. When Qin Shi Huang succeeded to the throne, the national strength of Qin was so strong that it could be used as six countries, except for Qin, which country could take out 600,000 troops at every turn? Attacking Zhao twice, Li Mu defeated the Qin soldiers twice, annihilating tens of thousands of Qin soldiers, and then, Zhao Hao annihilated tens of thousands of elite Qin troops in the battle of Yuhe, and in the early stage of the Battle of Changning, Lian Po gave up the position on the west bank of the Dan River that was not easy to defend, and shrank to the second line of defense east of the Dan River, building barriers, this period lasted for three years, the Qin army with dangerous strengths and losses was lost, and Zhao Kuo's performance in the early period after being handsome was also good, even if the opponent was Wu Anjun Bai Qi also suffered heavy losses, if it were not for Zhao Kuo's recklessness and arrogance, who won and who lost. But such large-scale losses again and again could not shake Qin's bones. The Qin State was strong at that time, which can be seen in general. ”

"As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty through Gaozu, Emperor Hui, Empress Lu, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing 45 years of recuperation, Taoguang recuperation, the historical record is 'not in the disaster of flood and drought, the people give the family enough, all the despise is full, and the treasury is surplus goods. The money of the Beijing division is huge, and it is decaying and cannot be studied; The millet of Taicang, Chen Chen, is full of dew and accumulates outside, until it is rotten, and it is inedible.'"

When Li Shimin said this, he was full of envy, and even a little jealous: "Even though Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has the huge capital left by the emperors of previous dynasties, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been fighting for many years, which has also made the sea wasted, the population has been halved, and fighting a war consumes the most national and financial resources." ”

"And we are developing too smoothly, a few years ahead of schedule, and these kinds of problems have arisen during the rectification of the officials, all of which have caught me and the full house a little off guard. This rut in the past, the lesson in the back. With the lessons of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, how can we re-embark on their path? The death of the previous dynasty was also mostly on the three expeditions to Goguryeo. It is inevitable to send troops next year, and in my opinion, this Turk will either not fight at all, and if it does, it will be decided by a war, and repeated conquests will only hurt the national strength in vain and sink the whole country, and only a simple and neat victory can deter the Quartet and deter some unscrupulous people in the country who are ready to move. ”

Qin Feng suddenly realized when he heard this, and finally Zhenguan once the Tang army believed in "blitzkrieg", and it was decided in the first war in the destruction of the Turks, the destruction of Tuguhun, the Pinggaochang, the Dinghui, the Yanqi, the Qiuci and other countries, which can be said to give full play to the essence of the "blitzkrieg" without the slightest hesitation. The Tang Dynasty in the Zhenguan period is very similar to Germany in World War II in terms of national strength and emphasis, that is, the military strength is unprecedentedly strong, but the economy is a fatal weakness, on the occasion of the conquest of the four words, the tactics used are the same as "blitzkrieg", in the foreign war, the only one that did not succeed in the Zhenguan Dynasty was Goguryeo, the Tang army first recovered Liaodong, and successively conquered Xuansu, Hengshan, Gaimu, Momi, Liaodong, Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, Houhuang Shicheng, and migrated Liao, Gai, and Yan to enter China 70,000. The three major battles of Xincheng, Jian'an, and garrison beheaded more than 40,000 people. As for the Tang Army, the soldiers died no more than 2,000, but due to the climate problem, the city of Anshi was blocked, and the war horses lost seventy or eighty percent, so they had to choose to withdraw.

According to reason, this battle cannot be regarded as defeated, and it is only the attacker who chose to withdraw his troops when he gained a certain advantage. However, Li Shimin regarded this battle as a major failure, apparently because he did not take Goguryeo in one fell swoop, which was inconsistent with his strategic goals, and regarded it as a failure.

The same was true of Germany during World War II, which swept through Europa in the early stage and was invincible, but was finally crushed by Soviet Russia with vast strategic depth and bad weather. After thinking about it carefully, I found that there was really a great similarity between the two, but there was only one enemy of the Tang Dynasty, so it was only a temporary failure, and the enemy of Germany was half of the world, so it was divided in half.

Qin Feng gradually understood what Li Shimin meant, and said: "I think what you are worried about, father-in-law, is nothing more than two points: first, you are afraid that the war will not be able to hold out, and then give some people in the country reasons and excuses to rebel, and can successfully mobilize the people in the unofficial area; Second, I am worried that when we rectify the interior, a certain Turkic force will collapse violently, causing our Tang Dynasty to miss the opportunity to defeat the Turks in the First World War, and then leave endless disasters to future generations. You're struggling with whether to send troops or not, right? ”

Li Shimin's eyes showed a look of approval, worthy of being the person he fancied, the gains and losses were the result of his discussion with the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Hou Junji, Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Yao Silian, Xue Shui, Chu Liang and other capable officials, Qin Feng could comprehend it at the first time under his own reminder, it was indeed not simple.

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "Yes, now we are not worried that the Turks will not make trouble, but we are worried that the Turks will decline too quickly, it can be seen from the news from the grassland that Jieli and Tuli Yi men have almost red eyes, even if it is a cold day in the ice and snow, there is no big war between the two sides, but the small war is constant: grab cattle and sheep, grab turf, grab water, grab territory, as long as they can fight for a victory." Because of their civil strife, more than a dozen tribes, including Tiele and Hui, have canceled their tribute to the Turks. On the grassland, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. The defeat of the Turks was seen by everyone. There are by no means a few people who want to fish in troubled waters. The vitality of the Turks is greatly damaged, and if we do not take it, the Turks will have to be eaten by other tribes in the steppe. In this way, it is not easy for us to destroy a tiger and feed a dozen hungry wolves, and we are a formidable enemy ready for a big tiger to train itself. Nowadays, if we send troops, we will definitely get infinite benefits at a very small cost. But the battlefield changed in an instant, and the domestic situation was so erosive, so I was a little apprehensive, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while. ”

"Isn't there still a Hui and other tribes in the Turks? Either let them kill themselves half-dead, and then they will be all killed. Qin Feng said tentatively.

"Your method is a prudent strategy, and I also know that it is the most in line with my Datang national conditions. However, it does not match my thoughts! If that's the case, there's no way to get the result I want. ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said loudly: "In order to reduce the casualties of my Datang and reduce the pressure on my Datang, I can allow the tribes of Xue Yantuo and Hui to get a piece of the pie, but the Turks must be destroyed by us, and the Turks are the fat meat of our Datang." ”

Li Shimin said with firmness, domineering, and unquestionable in his last tone.

Qin Feng's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law is right, our Datang is scheming openly and secretly, and it can't be said that it is not bothering to eat this piece of meat." If you go to great lengths and let others take the meat, wouldn't that make the world laugh? The son-in-law also believes that a prudent strategy can only solve the short-term, not the long-term. ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and said, "Tell me your opinion." ”

"Restarting the Silk Road is my established national policy of the Tang Dynasty, and the Silk Road is long, passing through countless countries and tribes on the way, these northern and western alien races advocate strong strength, not resourcefulness, if there is no hearty big victory, big tough battle, how to deter the greedy northern and western alien races? The Turks swept across the desert for nearly a hundred years, in the north and the west, it can be said that it is famous for its murder, and no one dares to provoke it. ”

"Heroes see the same thing!"

Li Shimin struck a blow with both palms and praised: "This is also my purpose." (To be continued.) )
