"My brother remembered the eldest sister who married the Nanban tribe, she studied literature and martial arts since she was a child, and once threatened to lead troops for her father to recover southern Xinjiang, but she didn't want to be sent to the Nanban tribe by her father in the end, and she was a concubine with an old man." Feng Zhidai said while crying, a particularly wide sleeve almost covering his entire face.

The garlic in Guanzhong tastes strong enough, and Feng Zhidai, a native of the south, naturally can't stand it, so his tears and snot are real guys, but this story is a bit outrageous, Feng Ang is the biggest chief in Lingnan, no matter how worthless his eldest daughter is, he will not let an old man of the Nanban tribe marry him as a concubine, monogamy has now risen in Nanban, and even polyandry, and the social status of women over there will only be higher than that of men, but it is precisely because of Feng Zhidai's cry, completely detonated Li Er's love.

"How can it be?" Li Eryi smashed the white porcelain cup to pieces and roared angrily.

If the lord is humiliated, the minister will die, and in turn, the lord will be humiliated, such a humiliation must be unbearable on the face of Li Er, who defeated the Turkic Department of the powerful army in the world, so his anger was ignited, and then the two boys who played with fire began to pour oil on the fire.

"Father, give the ministers ten ships such as the wind and waves, and within two years, the sons and daughters will be called the heads of the Southern Barbarians." Among the three brothers of the Li family, Li Chengqian, the only one with experience in leading troops to fight, was the first to jump out and say.

"Father, the sons only need to bring a few hundred chamberlains and their eldest brother to carry gunpowder into southern Xinjiang, and they will definitely be able to blow up all the stockades in southern Xinjiang." Li Ke tried his best to avoid showing his talents in front of the emperor, but after all, he was at an age of blood, once this kind of anger came up. The first thing that came to mind was his most powerful method.

The two enraged elder brothers took a stand as the youngest of them. Li Tai was naturally not to be left behind, but Li Chengqian talked about ships and cannons. Li Ke said gunpowder, but he didn't have anything to do with it and said: "Erchen, Erchen, Erchen feels that this matter should not be taken lightly, the art troupe has some plans about this matter, Xiaolinzi Chief, you can tell your father!" ”

Li Tai did not have Li Chengqian's experience in leading troops, nor did he have Li Ke's means to make gunpowder, but he was a real member of the art troupe. In a hurry, he pushed the topic to Yang Lin, he felt that as long as he tied this brother-in-law to himself, his grace in front of Li Er would definitely not be less than that of his two elder brothers.

Everyone looked at Yang Lin who looked at Feng Zhidai with a look of concern, Yang Lin was a little afraid that Feng Zhidai's performance would be seen by Li Er, but now the reaction is not bad, Li Er is angry, and the two princes are also angry. Next, it's time for Yang Lin to make a tirade himself.

"Father, although the sons are also very angry with some of the barbarians' practices, but at this time, it is really not appropriate for my Datang to use troops against southern Xinjiang, not to mention the complex geography of southern Xinjiang. The territory is vast, and it is not a matter of one or two days, but there are more than two million mouths inside and outside my Chang'an City. It will take at least a year or two to arrange it properly, so Erchen's construction is roughly what Xiao Tai said just now. Don't act rashly. But they could not stand still, and the two armies fought. The first thing is to know oneself and the other, how many tribes are there in southern Xinjiang, where they are gathered, what kind of scale they have, whether they are willing to get close to my Tang Dynasty, all need to be investigated and confirmed, Erchen believes that for such a loose organization, it is most appropriate to pull a gang to fight a gang, and if you want to rule southern Xinjiang for a long time, you can't create too many killings.

Zhuge Liang captured Meng Shu seven times, and the strategy of taking the heart as the top was right, and it took several years to pacify the southern Xinjiang, which was rumored to be a beautiful talk, but Erchen thought that he had not done it thoroughly enough, and he only did the first step to subdue the hearts of the rulers, and it was the second step to recover the hearts of all the people in southern Xinjiang, but it was not enough to subdue their hearts, today the court has the strength to deal with them and write benefits to them, so they submit, and tomorrow there will be a big crisis in the court, and they can't control them, and they rebel again, So we still need them to be inseparable from us, as for how to make them rely on us, inseparable from us, there are currently three things that need to be done.

The first point is to provide them with medical care, starting with the management of the tribe and then all the civilians, so that the people on both sides of us can communicate easily.

The second point is to provide them with new farming techniques and agricultural tools, I dare say, if the land of southern Xinjiang is developed, the output of various crops must be multiple of the land of the Central Plains, which has been cultivated for thousands of years and has long been barren, of course, this policy must be given priority to the tribes that have taken refuge in us, and even allow us to send officials to govern the local tribes.

The third point is to help them develop their existing resources, and repair the roads connecting various places, so that southern Xinjiang can trade with Shuzhong, Guanzhong, Lingnan, and Jiangnan, as far as I know, the gold, silver and copper reserves in southern Xinjiang are quite rich, medicinal materials, good rosewood, golden silk Nan is very much, and more importantly, they have a piece of tea trees suitable for this kind of brewed tea, brewed tea will replace boiling tea in the next few years to become an indispensable daily necessities for the people of the Tang Dynasty, these projects have been developed in southern Xinjiang, It will be a huge profit point, when the officials sent by the Tang Dynasty can bring wealth and a better life to their people, even if they are stupid, they will not object to being the subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

The fourth point in the future, of course, is to flourish education, build more schools in southern Xinjiang, and educate their newborns with culture, within a generation, it will be difficult for southern Xinjiang to have a voice against the rule of our Tang Dynasty, and after three generations, southern Xinjiang is no different from the Central Plains.

Yanglin's words made Li Er fall into deep thought, if it weren't for the problem of Xiliang, he wouldn't have talked to Li Er about such a detailed issue so early, Feng Zhidai knew less about the specific situation of Southern Xinjiang, and some of the later Liangguang, Lianghu, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and seven provinces were occupied by ethnic minorities, plus Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and even Cambodia, so now the actual area of Southern Xinjiang defined by Yanglin is actually larger than that of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to succeed without a few generations of planning to eat such a large territory, The ideal policy in Yanglin's mind was to gradually encroach on the law, on the one hand, to promote the development of some small tribes in the border area with the Nanban tribes, and to attract more and farther tribes to come and take refuge. Gradual appeasement, on the one hand, from the Yangtze River waterway down to the south of the Yangtze River. Take the sea route to the three counties of Jiaozhi, the most developed area of the existing civilization in southern Xinjiang, for long-distance intercourse, of course. The purpose of the long-distance friendship is to provoke the internal fighting of all parties in Jiaozhi, as long as the people there fight, the powerful foreign forces of Datang can be left and right, only when the internal affairs of Datang are eased and the army can be dispatched to take Jiaozhi, then the entire southern Xinjiang will be surrounded by Datang, and it is a matter of time before how to eat and digest it.

"Can you be more specific?" Li Er carefully experienced Yanglin's long-term theory, and believed that some places were too idealistic, and the real national war was cruel. The barbarians may not surrender to the Han people because they got good production technology from the Han people, pull a gang, fight a gang is used in the Han people's battles, the barbarians may not understand, as for tea, and gold, silver and copper mines are the spoils of war after the Tang Dynasty conquered southern Xinjiang, why help them develop?

"In fact, it is useless for Erchen to be specific, the situation in southern Xinjiang is not clear to Erchen, if there is really any useful information. Deerchen walked along the southern frontier and then said, His Majesty might as well transfer a group of officials to the local area along the walking route of Erchen, these officials don't need to know anything else, just don't hate the barbarians. It's good to know how to farm. In the eyes of my father, I am afraid that they are now regarded as aliens, and in the eyes of my sons, it is not necessary, in fact, I have already regarded them as the future people of my Tang Dynasty. Population, territory. It's all going to be ours, so why not help them. Yang Lin smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.

With the snap of his fingers, the sound fell. The male soldiers of the two art troupes carried a huge yellow paper scroll up, and without waiting for Li Er to ask, they spread the yellow paper scroll on the wooden floor illuminated by the spotlight.

"Your Majesty, please see this complete map of the Tang Dynasty." Yang Lin was the first to leave his seat and walk towards the huge drawing.

"A full map of the territory?" Li Er's eyes lit up, and he jumped from behind the desk to the front of the drawings with a rub.

"That's right, this is Erchen painted in Wangjia Village these days, only the new paper workshop there can make such a large paper, this ratio is about one meter to a thousand miles, with Chang'an as the center, the mountains and rivers are very detailed, but Erchen is not very familiar with the place names of the Tang Dynasty, and people who understand this aspect are also needed to come and mark." Yang Lin explained as he pointed to the location of Chang'an, the center of the several meters long yellow paper map.

Yanglin is talking about the territory map of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the whole map has basically included the whole of Asia, from the map, not to mention the Tibetans, the Turks, and even the territory of the Hui State that has been canonized is larger than that of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the southern Xinjiang that connects the three counties of Jiaozhi with a large part of the area controlled by ethnic minorities.

"My Datang is only like that?" Li Ernu pointed to the triangular map composed of Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Dingzhou and shouted.

"That's it, the territory of Turkic Tubo is larger than our Tang Dynasty, but they still come to rob us, and only after eating this piece of southern Xinjiang can they form an overwhelming advantage over them."

Yang Lin pointed to a large area of deep forests along the coast of the guide, now the Western Turks have been defeated, but the Tang Dynasty has no power to go on an expedition, so it can only seize the opportunity to recover southern Xinjiang, and the territory of the three counties of Jiaozhi and the Southern Barbarians will all be collected, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty can compete with the Turks who occupy a large territory of Tibet and the Middle East, and the Turks who occupy most of Qinghai, Xinjiang, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia. is undoubtedly Datang's fierce rival.

Li Er, who has always thought that he was the biggest, stared at this map for a long time, he was silent for his previous arrogance, he fought for half a life to lay down the territory of the Tang Dynasty, who would have thought that it was really as Yang Lin said, this is just a small corner of the world, it turns out that the world is so big, and what makes his heart unbearable is Yang Lin's next sentence.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to think that the Tang Dynasty is too small, these places drawn by Erchen will be the Tang Dynasty, and when His Majesty takes them down, he can be regarded as a powerful king in this world, and then we will use this small place as the foundation to extend our rule to the whole world."

"What? All of these places add up to a small area? Li Er asked as he pulled the clothes on Yang Lin's chest and glared at him.

"Yes! This side is East Asia, that side is Central Asia, together it is Asia, and this world, geographically speaking, should have seven continents, if you count the ocean, which is many times larger than the land, our Datang is really a very small corner. Yang Lin pointed to Li Er's hand that was too tight, and replied honestly.

"Seven continents?" Li Er and a few friends were stunned, their habitual thinking thought that the size and population of the seven continents were the same, so they had a natural fear of the countries and armies of other continents that they had never seen, and they all exclaimed in unison.

"In the seven continents, His Majesty needs to conquer Asia, and his strength is definitely the crown of the seven continents." In fact, several continents are not civilized at all now, but Yang Lin didn't want them to have the psychology of looking down on the outside world, so he explained vaguely. (To be continued......)
