Chapter 287: Dilemma

"How can it be!" Wei Zheng, the first counselor of the Tang Dynasty, was the first to jump out without sitting still, he was unparalleled in talent, but he was just a little too much, he said whatever he wanted, he spoke straightforwardly, and he didn't care about the feelings of the audience at all, so Li Shimin loved and hated him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but no matter how faulty and flawed Wei Zheng is, he is not inferior to anyone in Datang's patriotism.

Fang Xuanling said: "Just Tuli child, before he defeated Jieli, he arrogantly expelled the envoys of our court, which is really too deceitful, it is tolerable, which is unbearable." Your Majesty, the minister proposed, immediately cut off all contacts with Tuli and Yi Nan, let them fend for themselves, these two are like two wolves, in the past, when the strength was equal, they could still coexist peacefully, and now Tu Li has the upper hand, and Yi Nan must also ignore it, ignore it, call back and forth, Yi Nan is already dissatisfied with Tu Li, and how to put twelve distractions into fighting for Turley? Therefore, the minister dared to assert that the final winner was definitely the unity of one heart and one mind. Let's sit back and watch them lose both of them, and the minister suggested that when the time comes, they will directly raise troops and put three people in a pot, and let them go to the same cell in Chang'an City to accompany them for a lifetime. In this way, there will be no border troubles forever. ”

Don't think that good people don't have a temper, they don't lose their temper because they haven't violated their bottom limit, once this literati starts a fire, the consequences are also very terrifying, especially a genius like Fang Xuanling who has a resourcefulness against the sky.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are old friends for ten years, and Fang Xuanling's statement, Du Ruhui also spoke out. He was about to speak, but let one person take the lead.

Wei Zheng said angrily: "I am a big Tang Dynasty that embraces all rivers and treats the surrounding aliens with a supreme mind. However, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and Tuli is the best example. My Datang economic, cultural and military skills are far above him, but he is a rebel who dares to insult my Datang, if he is not severely punished, he will make an example of the chickens and monkeys. In the future, others will follow suit...... The minister thought that Tuli and Yi Nan must be severely punished, and there can be no mercy, and there is room for maneuver. ”

Wei Zheng is not handsome, it can be said that he is ugly. It is also recorded in the history books that his appearance is not as good as that of a middle-aged person, and he is not even comparable to an ordinary person. But he was swaying and shouting loudly at the moment, with a unique momentum, and he felt very fearless and fearless as a second-year youth.

Li Shimin said: "Then according to Wei Aiqing's opinion, what should be done?" ”

"Kill!" Wei Zheng said without hesitation: "Since ancient times, the Turks have not been as ruined. This is the heavens to exterminate, the temple is martial arts, and its world is in China, and the people are wronged. ”

This Wei Zheng is not a good man and a woman, he is also a ruthless character, the meaning of his words is very simple, the translation is: Turkic people face beasts, there will be disasters if they stay, they should be all killed, racial massacre.

Wei Zheng's sudden killing courage even frightened Wei Zheng by Li Shimin, not to mention that Fang Mou was broken, and the three of them all looked at Wei Zheng who had always talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality with a strange gaze.

Wei Zheng is as extreme as a second-year imperial Han boy in terms of race.

Fang Xuanling said hatefully: "The minister agrees with Lord Wei's point of view, but it is not enough. Not only to kill, but also to put an end to future troubles, to announce the world...... The alien races around the lord take a look at the backbone and bloodiness of my Tang Dynasty. "As the so-called king humiliates the ministers, the envoy of this envoy is the business card of a country when he goes abroad, and he is also the representative of the emperor.

"Okay, let's call everyone!" It is rare to encounter the main battle lord and faction working together, and Li Shimin simply made up a court meeting temporarily.

After the streamlining, the officials were all talented people who did practical things, and after a while, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in place.

Li Shimin didn't hesitate, so he went straight to the point, personally believed in the book sent by the envoy, and finally said: "Tuli is ambitious, even more than Jieli, we can't raise tigers for trouble." Li Shimin's sharp eyes swept through the main hall, and finally fell on Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang and other lords and factions, and said loudly: "I have changed my mind now, I don't want half of the Turkic country, I want the entire Turkic now, so that all the Turkic territory will always become the grassland protectorate of my Tang Dynasty." ”

Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang and other people who were in charge of harmony changed their expressions, which caught Li Shimin off guard by this sudden move.

The ministers of the court also bombed.

Hubu Shangshu said eagerly: "Is Your Majesty's words serious? How dare that Tuli be so rampant! ”

"You have no jokes!" Li Shimin asked people to show all the information about Tuli that he had collected recently, and told Junchen: "That is to say, Tuli is the same as Jieli, and the ultimate goal is to conquer my Datang and make my Datang their cornucopia. ”

Most of the ministers of the Tang Dynasty were bloody men, and the sound of war was immediately endless.

During this period, the Tang Dynasty was still martial, and although the Tang soldiers were slightly inferior to the people on the grassland in terms of horsemanship, the armament, morale, blood, sense of honor, etc. were generally above the peoples on the grassland.

Originally, the head of the treasury was in charge of the treasury, because he felt sorry for the money, and he had always had an attitude of absolutely not supporting the use of troops that could be resolved diplomatically, but this time he also supported Li Shimin, gritting his teeth and looking eager to go into battle to kill the enemy in person. Just because he and the important ministers of the court know that the defeat of the Turks is to solve the worries once and for all, and the second is also to restart the Silk Road, he manages the livelihood of the world, and the economic benefits brought by the ancient Silk Road to the Central Plains Dynasty are very amazing, and the importance of the Silk Road to the Tang Dynasty is not better known than him. He has a supportive attitude towards the Silk Road, and he is concerned about the Silk Road, and he can't sleep at night.

In order to be an excellent "general manager", in order to increase the treasury of Datang as soon as possible, it has been rare to pay attention to the military in recent days.

Kong Yingda came out and said: "Your Majesty, the world has settled down, and it is not easy to settle down, our Tang foundation is too weak, and we can't withstand a protracted war, so the minister will ask you: Can we win this war?" Rashly starting a war with the Tuli Yi man, are our war horses, grain and grass sufficient? Can the army win the war in a very short time? ”

Li Shimin looked at the head of the household.

Hubu Shangshu re-emerged, his expression was very serious, and a series of huge numbers came out of his mouth: "Your Majesty, this foreign war is more severe than we imagined, just take the army of Li Daozong's county king, the amount of grain and grass consumed far exceeds our expectations!" The daily consumption of more than a few large armies is about 3,000 stones, and in January it is about 90,000 stones. During the war, there were more than 20,000 grain transport teams, and 30,000 grains were consumed in a month, and a total of 120,000 yuan was consumed in a month. Moreover, King Lee Junwang is mainly infantry, and if he is replaced by the Tiger Ben Army, which is ridden by the whole army, and the Gyeongju Border Army, the daily consumption may have to double or so. Fortunately, General Huben was both civil and military, and came up with so many ideas, which not only solved the supply of the Gyeongju army, Yulu and other expenses, but also passed on the experience to other border fortresses. If the expedition is fought, if the war continues, and if the grain convoy is constantly dispatched, more food is consumed. According to estimates, if 200,000 troops are dispatched and the expeditionary force is not victorious for half a year, our Datang will be greatly injured. ”

The sheer size of the numbers was staggering, and there was a buzz all over the country.

Li Shimin also gradually showed a look of surprise.

Tobe Shangshu raised this issue at this moment, and he did not intend to investigate anyone's fault. It's about finding a way to solve the problem.

The biggest drawback of the early Tang Dynasty was that the population was small and the economy and agriculture could not be improved.

This is the biggest problem that restricts the development of Datang.

It is also the ultimate reason why Li Shimin envied Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the rich second generation.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of majestic kings and generals, and there are thousands of people who can fight alone, of course, if you want to say that the kind of commander of the army, the commander of the three armies, but there are only a few people in the early Tang Dynasty. Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, Li Jing, the prince of Weiguo, Junji, the prince of Chen, and Li Ji, the prince of England, if you add Li Shimin, who is already the emperor, there are only five people. This has been the case since ancient times. In the land of China, there are many talents, and there is never a shortage of generals to command the troops, but only the commanders of the three armies. The six people in the early Tang Dynasty are already a very remarkable number in history. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has world-renowned martial arts, but the only ones who can be called handsome are Wei Qing, Li Guang, and Huo Quai. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty is a martial dynasty, and the soldiers are happy when they hear the war, so there is no shortage of brave and good soldiers, the only defect of the Tang Dynasty is the lack of national strength, and the lack of succession, and this is a key link that cannot be avoided.

If you don't have money, what kind of war are you fighting!

Yu Suiliang came out and said: "Your Majesty, the grain stock of my Tang Kingdom is not sufficient, if you have to go on an expedition, can this grain and grass be supplied?" In addition, in this battle, when our army does not occupy the sky, it does not occupy the land, in case there is an accident during the crusade, what kind of consequences will be caused by the defeat of our Datang Dynasty, so please think twice before acting. ”

The words that Hubu Shangshu and Yu Suiliang slowly spoke were not sharp, but they were unusually heavy, because this is the truth!

"If we don't solve these problems and rush to send troops, will my Datang really be able to achieve the desired results?" There was no temptation in Yu Suiliang's words, so I just heard him say, "Your Majesty." For thousands of years, after the great chaos, it is necessary to rule the country, and only in this way can a country prosper. Since the dawn of time, this has been the case. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty were exempted from the flames of war, attaching importance to production, persuading agriculture and mulberry, building water conservancy, the people and customs were quiet, the family gave people enough, the cattle and horses were all over the field, and the surplus grain was commissioned to the field. The rule of this strong Wenjing created a strong Han Dynasty; Wang Mang was in chaos, the sea collapsed, and the world was in chaos. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty implemented the national policy of 'Yanwu Xiuwen' and developed production, which laid the foundation of the Later Han Dynasty for nearly two hundred years. In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, it was no different. Your Majesty, the minister also hates Tuli's rudeness, but he can learn from the past and the teacher of future generations. I beg your Majesty to think twice! ”

Yu Suiliang's words can be described as powerful, loud and loud, word by word, and they are polite and well-founded, making it impossible to refute. (To be continued.) )
