As soon as Gao Yanshou died, no one could hinder Xue Rengui, and after resting for a long time, more than 1,000 people entered Xuanju City in the name of righteousness, and carried out personnel appointments and dismissals in the name of the city lord. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He gave the dead Gao Yanshou the name of rebellion. After all, his attack on the new city lord is well known, and under the appearance of the living Goguryeo soldiers, people really believe it, after all, Chen Rui, who came with the "holy decree" in his hand, represents the dignity of the Wang family, and Gao Yanshou attacked them, isn't it a rebellion?

Anyway, Gao Yanshou is dead, naturally Xue Rengui has the final say, no one will be stupid enough to go against the new city lord, this kind of palace dispute, as long as people are unwilling to get involved. People are real animals, and the Goguryeo people have done even more, they think that instead of being loyal to the dead, it is better to live and curry favor with the current celebrity of the king!

In this way, in just a few days, Xuanyu County has all fallen into Xue Rengui's control. As for Gao Yanshou's die-hard elements, Xue Rengui was all killed in the name of complicity.

At the same time, Luo Tong, who received the secret order, led the Youzhou border army, and also regained Liaodong, Xincheng, Anshi and other border cities without blood, and arranged the garrison candidates, as if entering the heart of Goguryeo in the heart of no man's land, under the tacit cooperation of the main generals of the offensive and defensive sides, they unceremoniously sold Goguryeo, in order to show the sacrosanctity of the Tang Dynasty's military might, the main general of the defending side "made" all kinds of bizarre and speechless strange mistakes, and the defenders deliberately released the water in just two months. The army of the Tang Dynasty took the entire territory of Northern Goguryeo with the overwhelming strength of Mount Tai and pushed the border line to the bank of the Yalu River, so as to not only recover the lost homeland of the previous dynasty, but also occupy the vast soil that originally belonged to Goguryeo.

is a service, Luo Tong, who has performed well and used soldiers like a god, has become another rising general after Qin Feng in this strange way.

Luo Tong couldn't cry or laugh, not knowing whether to be happy or depressed. As an aspiring general, he really didn't like this kind of name that shouldn't belong to him, he felt that it was too much, and he had a sense of guilt for taking credit for himself, and when he arrived in the domestic city, he was red-faced and red-eared in the face of the congratulations of his colleagues, and he felt a sense of shame to see people. In the end, he hid and didn't want to see people, and after Qin Feng's enlightenment many times, he reluctantly ran out. Luo Tong disdains to take this kind of credit, but Qin Feng is right: Datang needs generals, needs heroes, needs an invincible and invincible strong army to deter the Quartet, and only has a miracle that ordinary people can't imagine, so that Datang, who has not yet reached its peak, can avoid war, and use fame to control the entire Silk Road, and foreign countries dare not interfere with it.

In the face of the power of the Tang Dynasty in Goguryeo silently and as fast as lightning, the foreign countries around the Tang Dynasty were shocked again, they were all trembling under the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and no country dared to underestimate the current status of the Tang Dynasty, for fear of becoming the head of the alien race who would become the next target of the Tang Dynasty, they sent envoys to Chang'an to meet them to show their loyalty.

Chang'an, Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin threw the piece in his hand on the table and sneered: "It's ridiculous, someone actually proposed to raise taxes to alleviate the current economic crisis, and wanted my Tang Dynasty to follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty?" He did not name names, saving face for the official who wrote the recital, but his tone was unusually stern.

They are discussing the economic problems of the Tang Dynasty, although there has been no major war recently, but the daily expenditure of the treasury is not small, the Central Plains does not need the support of the imperial court, but the revitalization of Youzhou's economy, the development of Jiangnan and other areas spend a lot.

In particular, the development of Dajiangnan presided over by Ma Zhou is even more astronomical, this guy is not only an expert in governing the country, but also a master who can spend money. He is well aware that if you want to take it, you must first build roads with it, and if you want to get rich, you must first build up the traffic, and it is precisely because he vigorously builds infrastructure construction in Jiangnan, so the consumption in Jiangnan is beyond imagination, which makes Datang's reserves a little dwarfed.

Li Shimin discussed this issue with the ministers yesterday, but there was no result at that time, so he asked the ministers to go back and think about it.

As a result, in the early dynasty, Li Shimin saw a ridiculous letter asking him to raise taxes.

Raising taxes, which was common in all dynasties, was not unusual. This was especially true of the Sui Dynasty.

The national policy of the Sui Dynasty was to hide the wealth in the country, and the taxes were extremely high, especially in the Yang Guang Dynasty, which intensified. The people could not sustain themselves, but the court was very rich.

Li Shimin knew the truth of the people and the water of the people, and learned the lesson of the Sui Dynasty, and the taxes of the Tang Dynasty were much lower than those of the Sui Dynasty.

Let him raise taxes and scrape money from the people, that is absolutely impossible.

"For the sake of today's plan, I have to let Ma Zhou pause his big action and let him come step by step." Li Shimin muttered in his heart, he didn't want to give this order, because he knew that Ma Zhou was already very economical and very rational in spending money. But, the treasury is empty, what can be done? In fact, he also thought about stopping his support for Youzhou and developing Jiangnan first, because Jiangnan's investment is large, but the return is relatively fast. However, Qin Feng's previous recital made him dispel this idea, and he was determined to start Youzhou's economy first.

At the beginning of his tenure, Qin Feng mentioned a sentence that Li Shimin agreed with very much:

When the country is strong, the heart is strong!

To a large extent, the strength of a nation determines the strength of the people's will.

Looking at a corner of Chang'an, you can see this meaning.

In Chang'an, where Li Shimin sits, you can meet people with rich smiles everywhere, in their hearts, Datang is the most powerful country, and as the people of Datang, they will no longer be disturbed by the troubled times.

But in Youzhou, there is no such scene.

Because Youzhou is a place that has suffered from war, they are located on the border, and they have not felt the kindness brought to them by Datang at all, and their recognition of Datang is almost equal to zero. This piece is not good news for Li Shimin, the imperial court that the border people do not approve of is very dangerous, because they have no idea of family and country, no loyal object, once invaded by foreign enemies, they are likely to turn against each other, and because of this, his support for Youzhou is very strong, and now there is just a trace of improvement, he does not dare to give up halfway, and start from scratch in the next year.

Just as he was pondering whether to decide to stop the large-scale development of Jiangnan, the chamberlain hurriedly walked in with a dusty hand, his face flushed with excitement, and he was out of breath and reported loudly to Li Shimin in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news ...... you."

When Li Shimin and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu heard the word "good news", they were first shocked, but then everyone looked at each other, all at a loss:

There is no war nowadays, where is the good news?

So, they stared at the waiter one by one and were stunned, this guy didn't have a small head, he was too long, and he didn't even want a big head?

With a loud "snap", Li Shimin slapped the dragon case heavily, and said angrily: "The world was peaceful at that time? Where did the war come from, and where did the good news come from? ”

The attendant who was in excitement didn't notice everyone's abnormal gaze, and he shouted silently: "It's the chief manager, it's the champion general himself." ”

"Qin Feng?"

Except for a limited number of people, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all started to stay, he was not in Youzhou to be his general manager, how could he go to Chang'an to personally deliver the good news? What's going on with this good news?

And Li Shimin, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong and other insiders were shocked.

They all thought of a possibility.

"Hurry up and invite the champion general to the palace." Li Shimin couldn't sit still, he left the dragon chair and walked back and forth.

First of all, in this era, the traffic is blocked, and the communication is not developed, so it is 800 miles to rush the message, and it will take more than 20 days from Youzhou to Chang'an, and it will be even farther from Goguryeo. Secondly, it was very close to the time when Li Shimin ascended the throne, and Qin Feng wanted to use his exploits as an earth-shattering gift, so he deliberately concealed it and did not report it in time. In addition, it was not far from the day of Changle's childbirth, so after he transferred Liu Renliang to Goguryeo to preside over military and political affairs, he carried the letter of surrender and seal written by Gao Jianwu, and ran back without stopping for a moment.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty!" Together with the inner servants, Qin Feng, who was dusty, ragged, and unkempt, made a big salute. As he approached, everyone smelled a foul smell of sweat, and they couldn't help frowning.

They disliked it, but Li Shimin, the dignified Ninety-Five Supreme, didn't care at all, when he saw the face of the person who came, he ran down directly and helped Qin Feng up with his own hands.

"There is no need to be polite, Aiqing and tell me, what is the good news, and where does the good news come from? Why don't I have any news? Li Shimin said very eagerly.

"Didn't you teach Weichen: Outside the general, the king's order is not affected?" At this time, Qin Feng deliberately defended it.

"I commanded you to speak." Li Shimin was angry, and he still came to this hand at this time, and only this kid could do it, so he ordered very domineeringly.

"Look at this, and you'll know what's going on." Qin Feng handed over the cloth bag in his hand.

Li Shimin hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab it, he ignored the jade seal, but carefully read the book and the detailed good news recorded.

"Hahaha......" Finally, Li Shimin, who had read the surrender book at a glance and ten lines, looked up and laughed loudly, this surrender is completely different from the previous ministers, and the surrender means that all the land and people of the king will be incorporated into the surrendered country and become a place directly under the jurisdiction of the surrendered country.

"Good news, great news, great news, everyone. Qin Feng, in the past few months, not only killed Eulzhi Wende, but also broke the domestic city, captured the Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu alive, and won a complete victory. Gao Jianwu was forced to surrender, and since then, the homeland of Liaodong, which has been separated for many years, will return to the embrace of our Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin exhaled and raised his eyebrows, what the previous dynasty couldn't do, he did it today.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also liked to act, and they congratulated Li Shimin one after another.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and felt that without January, the smile on his face would not disappear.

After everyone was excited, Li Shimin, who sat down again, smiled, but asked with some concern: "Yes, how many soldiers and horses did my Datang lose?" ”

In less than half a year, Yang Guang has quietly destroyed countless and unshakable hard bones, and in everyone's imagination, Datang's losses should not be small.

And this is exactly what Li Shimin is eager to understand.

"Loss?" Qin Feng smiled smugly and said loudly: "If the serious injuries are not counted, the loss will be less than three hundred." ”

"Huh?"

"How is that possible?"

The quiet Tai Chi Hall suddenly became lively, and for Qin Feng's words, including Qin Qiong, Li Shimin and other people closest to Qin Feng, they also had to express doubts.

This, how is this possible?

Goguryeo, which could not be conquered by millions of people, was taken by Qin Feng at a price of less than 300?

What about the crooks? This is
