"Please also ask Mr. Lu for advice, is there anything wrong with my Datang military system?" Li Zhi said very modestly, he had already heard that Lu Hong's words seemed to be referring to something, and the other party was originally sent by the sixth brother to guide him, so he did not have the slightest politeness.

"Hehe, I don't dare to give advice, but my subordinates have some feelings in their hearts for a while, and they just think of some suggestions for Datang!" Lu Hong said with a smile, "Datang is now pacifying the northern grasslands, the original grassland people have become the people of Datang, and as far as I know, Your Majesty is also preparing to recruit a large number of grassland people, although this can temporarily enhance the strength of Datang, but in the long run, it is not necessarily a good thing, especially a large number of grassland generals into the Tang Dynasty's military general system, although now Datang is strong, these people dare not do anything, but these Hu people are afraid and not virtuous, in case anything happens to Datang in the future, These Hu people must borrow troops to fight back, and His Royal Highness is the future master of the Tang Dynasty, so His Royal Highness must be on guard! ”

After Lu Hong finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhi with a smile, half of the above words were his own thoughts, and the other half was mentioned to him by Li Su in the letter, whether it is the Tang Dynasty in history or the current Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin has appointed many Hu generals, such as the most famous of them like Ashina Sheer, Qibi He Li and others, these Hu generals are indeed brave and good at fighting, and under the inspiration of Li Shimin, they are also loyal to the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that the reason why the Tang Dynasty in history is so famous is that these Hu generals are also indispensable.

However, under the prosperity of this Han Hutong rule, a major hidden danger was buried, the Anshi Rebellion a hundred years later. It is the evil result of the Tang Dynasty's reuse of the Hu generals, and since then. The Tang Dynasty began to go down a steep road, and the local government was divided. As a result, it led to the later fall of the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely knowing this period of history that Li Su was quite anxious when he saw Li Shimin reusing the Hu generals, but he couldn't persuade him, because the Hu generals in the Zhenguan period were indeed very good, and there was no problem in loyalty.

It is precisely these concerns that arise. Li Zhi only hit the idea on Li Zhi, anyway, in a hundred years, those Hu generals will not be able to become any climate, as long as Li Zhi can follow his own advice, in the future, when promoting and appointing Hu people, he will have more eyes, so as not to create a powerful domestic warlord like An Lushan in the future.

Compared with Li Shimin, Li Zhi has less decisive momentum, but a little more delicate and intelligent mind. It is precisely because of this that he attaches more importance to what Lu Hong said, although he also knows that in the current Tang Dynasty. The Hu generals are indeed a great force, and they have also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but what Lu Hong said is also reasonable. These Hu people are not like the Han Chinese, who do not attach much importance to royal orthodoxy. It's just that Datang is strong now, so they will be willing to work hard for Datang. But no one dares to guarantee that Datang will not be weakened, and at that time, these Hu people will likely become Datang's henchmen!

Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help but fall silent, this problem doesn't seem serious now, but it is very troublesome to solve, at least he can't think of any good way now. But then Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Lu Hong: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, but now the Hu generals in the Tang Dynasty are huge, and it is really difficult to move without permission, so I also ask Mr. Lu for some advice!" ”

Lu Hong was waiting for Li Zhi's words, so after hearing this, he replied with a smile: "Your Highness don't worry, now that the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, those Hu generals will only be loyal to the imperial court, so you have time to eliminate this hidden danger, as for the two ways, one is to implement sinicization among the Hu people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, everything can refer to the Sinicization policy of His Royal Highness King Qi, especially those Hu people who have meritorious deeds, and they must gather their descendants together to inculcate the patriotic ideas of loyalty to the monarch, for example, the military academy is a good place, In the future, no matter what their ability is, if they can't meet the standard in terms of loyalty to the monarch, then they must be suppressed openly and secretly, and they must not be allowed to enter the court! ”

When Lu Hong said this, he paused and looked at Li Zhi, and found that the other party listened very seriously, and then said: "The above is the method of curing the root cause, the only drawback is that the effect is too slow, so the second is the symptomatic strategy of quick effect, this method is actually very simple, that is, deliberately weakening the influence of those Hu people, most of these Hu people are holding military positions, and some are also in charge of the military and political power of a place, this is definitely not a good sign, the best way is for His Royal Highness to strengthen the rule of the central government, and separate the political affairs of various places from the military, Assign civil and military officials to take charge, and military generals are not allowed to interfere in local political affairs, so that the peace of the Tang Dynasty can be guaranteed! ”

Lu Hongti's palliative strategy is actually the separation of military and government, the military generals are only in charge of the army, and the most important political power is handed over to the civil officials sent by the imperial court.

"Okay, good way, if I'm not mistaken, this is the method that Sixth Brother is using now, although there are garrisons in various places, but the garrison and the local government are clearly distinguished, and they must not interfere in local government affairs!" Li Zhi also praised loudly after hearing this, and at the same time praised Li Su by the way.

And Lu Hong smiled after hearing this, and then took Li Zhi to walk through the rest of the steel city, and Li Zhi found that this steel city is not only responsible for the production of steel, but also makes some workshops for making various parts, such as one of the workshops to produce a kind of soft steel sheet, which is said to have been personally ordered by his sixth brother Li Su, as for what to make, it is not clear, Li Zhi studied for a long time and did not see any clue, and even Lu Hong was not very clear about this matter, so he had to give up in the end.

After Li Zhi returned to the palace of Sixian, he locked himself in the study, and then carefully wrote down all the words of Lu Hong today, and marked them with a red pen to show the importance of these opinions. In fact, he had already guessed that these opinions were not just Lu Hong's opinions, it was likely that there was a shadow of the sixth brother behind him, but his identity was too sensitive, so it was not good to say it to himself, which made Lu Hong take this opportunity to put it forward.

In the next few days, Lu Hong took Li Zhi to go all over South Korea, in fact, South Korea is a steel base, and in various ports along the coast, countless ships transport the mined coal and iron ore from Andong Duhu every day, and then transport it to various steel mills to smelt into steel, and then load it on ships and transport it to Taiwan and other places for the use of various territories under Li Su's rule.

Although Li Zhi was very interested in this steel factory, Cai'er and his son felt very boring, so they stayed in the Sihyun Palace, anyway, the scenery there was beautiful, and they would not feel bored if they stayed for a few days, but when Li Zhi finished visiting South Korea, they left again, and this time they went by boat, and did not go to Central Korea and North Korea from land, mainly because Li Zhi was going to visit Danluo and Tsushima Islands.

In order to protect the steel base of South Korea, and also to block the connection between the Japanese state and the mainland, especially the northern Ezo Island, where the Hu people were the focus of Li Su's defense, so on the two islands of Danra and Tsushima in the Tsushima Strait, a navy with ten capital warships was stationed.

Li Zhi has always been very curious about the navy in the hands of Li Su, because he knows that the navy has always been the real trump card in the hands of the sixth brother, and it is also the basis for his outward expansion. There were no capital battleships at all.

After leaving South Korea, the fleet bypassed the jutting sharp corners of the Samhan Peninsula and soon reached Danluo. The current Danluo Island is no longer the Danluo when Lu Qing and the others first landed. When Li Zhi and his family came to this island, the first thing they saw was a bustling port city, which was Danluo Port, which was built just a few years ago.

Danluo Port was originally a military port, but later with the Sanhan and the Wa Kingdom was conquered by Li Su, so that the merchants who came and went between these two places gradually increased, and Danluo Island, which was held in the Tsushima Strait, naturally became one of the traffic arteries, many merchants would stop here, and then Li Su simply ordered, the Danluo Port was divided into two, of which the south side is the military port, the north side is the commercial port, and now after several years of development, this port has formed a city, and the permanent residents in the city have reached more than 30,000, One-third of them are local Danluo, and the rest are mostly Han Chinese, with a small number of Sanhan and Wa people.

The scenery on Danluo Island is beautiful, but it is also worth a visit, especially Li Zhi also went to the military port to have a look, and then boarded the main warship of the navy, cruising around the sea, Lu Hong also specially arranged a round of artillery salvo, which frightened Li Zhi, and at the same time was a little envious, with such a sharp weapon, no wonder the sixth brother can lay such a foundation overseas.

After two days on Danluo Island, Li Zhi and his team sailed to Tsushima Island, where there was also a navy, and it was much stronger than the one on Danluo Island, and was responsible for blocking most of the Tsushima Strait.

Originally, after Li Zhi had seen the navy on Danluo Island, there was no need to go back to Tsushima Island, but Lu Hong got Li Zhi's order and specially led Li Zhi and them to the island, because there was a very secret thing for Li Zhi to see. (To be continued......)
