"Two premises?" Li Ke was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he couldn't think of the two prerequisites in Li Ke's mouth for the time being?

I saw Li Su put down his chopsticks, and then stretched out two fingers in turn and said: "First: traffic; Second: population! ”

Li Ke was a little puzzled after hearing this, and immediately spoke: "Sixth brother, I thought you were going to talk about transportation and the army, how could it be transportation and population?" ”

I saw Li Su shook his head with a smile and said: "Needless to say, if you want to gain a foothold in the Mediterranean, you must need strong support from the rear, which I and my father can provide, but we need the Suez Canal, which is often controlled by cannibals, which is quite stuck by their necks, and they must find a way to make them dare not act rashly." ”

"As for the second reason why it is the population and not the army, the first is because the army is also from the people under your rule, so the third brother, you must have a certain population in your hands, and the Han people must account for a considerable number of them. The second reason is that although the army can help you lay down a large piece of land, if you want to completely control the land, you need a large number of Han people to stabilize the rule, so the importance of population is far more important than that of the army. Li Su finally said slowly.

Li Ke also nodded seriously after listening, and at the same time admired Li Ke even more. Although he served as the assassin of the Tang Dynasty and governed the people of a state, he did not have the experience of establishing a country overseas alone, so he was not very mature in some aspects.

"Rokuro, I wrote down what you said, but these two prerequisites are not something I can solve alone, I don't know if you have any good solutions?" Li Ke humbly asked.

"Hmm." Li Su thought for a moment. Immediately showed a smile and said, "For the population aspect." I can make an announcement in Daqi, as long as the third brother, your conditions are high enough. It should be able to attract a group of people, but I can't guarantee the number, but at least tens of thousands of people can be gathered, and with the influence of the third brother, you should also be able to gather a group of followers in the Tang Dynasty, and there is also the father and the emperor, as a father, how to say it, you have to support the third brother You have a group of people, I heard that the population of the Hu people in the northern grasslands has grown rapidly in the past two years. Those are natural cavalrymen! ”

After Li Ke listened to Li Su's words, he showed a look of embarrassment and said, "Liulang, I won't shirk if you give me manpower, but how can I speak to my father?" ”

"Third brother, you really have to go to see your father once, because in addition to this matter, if you want to make the big cannibal dare not stick your neck, you also need your father to come forward, and I and the seventh and eighth brothers will help them on the side!" Li Shumin said helplessly. He knew that Li Ke was thin-skinned. I'm embarrassed to open my mouth to Li Shimin, but if you want to solve the two prerequisites of population and transportation, you must also talk to Li Shimin in person.

"Oh? It seems that Rokuro has a way to get the big cannibal to obediently let go of the Suez Canal and let the convoy of supplies supporting me unimpeded? Li Ke's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Population is a big problem. After all, whether it is Datang or Daqi, although they have been encouraging childbirth, the growth of the population is not a matter of one or two days. Therefore, they are in a state of shortage for the time being, so Li Ke did not expect how many people he could gather to follow. If the number of Han people is not enough, it will be filled with the grassland Hu people and even the three Han people under Li Su. But for the big cannibal could jam his neck for this thing. Li Ke was a little helpless, and he felt that it didn't work after thinking of a variety of methods along the way, so he pinned all his hopes on Li Su, and now it seems that Li Su really didn't let himself down.

After hearing this, Li Su said with a solemn face: "In fact, it is not troublesome to solve this matter, it is nothing more than to take advantage of the situation to coerce, the rise of the big cannibals is too fast, and the domestic ethnic groups are mixed, which makes their country lack a cohesive force, but because the big food has always been winning, giving people a feeling of invincibility, which not only gives them the upper hand in foreign wars, but also makes the foreign races in the country dare not have different hearts." ”

When he said this, Li Su suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, and then said: "But Da Shi has met us now, my father's Da Tang is almost invincible in the land campaign, and in the last confrontation, it also made Da Shi very soberly see that if they really fight with Da Tang, their chances of victory are very small, not to mention that there is also my navy, which can directly threaten the Da Shi Peninsula, if they really fight, they will inevitably suffer major defeats, and in this way, they will break the myth of their invincibility." , and this is undoubtedly fatal for the current Great Eclipse, so the Great Eclipse will definitely not dare to start a war with us at this time! ”

Hearing Li Su say this, Li Ke also took the case and said: "I see, the weakness of Da Shi is that he does not dare to fight, fearing that if he is defeated, it will collapse the confidence that the people in the country have built up so hard, and it will have a fatal impact on their rule at that time." Then we just need to make an offensive gesture, as long as the big food is afraid, then we will have to put forward the conditions, let alone open a small Suez Canal! ”

"Haha, it's still the third brother who reacts quickly, and the matter of coercing Da Shi still needs his father to come forward, after all, he can not only represent Da Tang, but also represent my Da Qi and Seventh Brother their Tianzhu, as long as the three parties act together, I am not afraid that Da Shi will not be convinced, maybe I can win greater benefits!" Li Su laughed very happily.

He sometimes really admires himself, originally he just wanted to help Li Ke, but after he made such a fuss, it became that the three kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty jointly coerced Dashi to fight for interests, and helping Li Ke became secondary.

Next, Li Su and Li Ke began to discuss how the Three Kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty should act, so that Da Shi could feel the biggest threat, and at the same time, he would not make the other party feel that he would die, so as not to really be self-defeating, and then Da Shi and them would die and break the net. If it really comes to this point, even if it really destroys the Great Food, it will be more than worth the loss for the Three Kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty.

The brothers Li Ke and Li Su are both extremely intelligent, and the coercion plan was quickly formulated. In order to be on the safe side, Li Su also deliberately sent the plan to Wang An and Lu Hong and several other senior ministers to discuss, and in the end they also felt that although there was a certain risk, if the implementation was successful, it was still quite feasible.

After this plan was finalized, Li Ke and Li Su stayed in Nugang for a few days, but it was okay to stay in a place like Wuzhou for a few days, but the successive earthquakes were really unbearable, especially Li Su was still a very life-sparing person, he didn't want to die in an earthquake one day, so he quickly took Qinghe and other female dependents back to Taiwan. As for Li Ke, he took a boat to Datang to meet Li Shimin and personally sought his help.

In the plan finalized by Li Ke and Li Ke, it was divided into two parts, which were completed by Li Ke and Li Ke respectively. Li Ke had already gone to see Li Shimin, Li Su naturally could not be idle, after he sent his family to Keelung, he immediately left Taiwan by boat, first arrived in the Lion City, then crossed the Strait of Malacca, and went to the Tianzhu Mainland for the second time.

Now after nearly two years of development, not only have steamships begun to be popularized on various routes in the South Seas, but even steam ships have begun to appear on the routes to Tianzhu or Africa and other distant routes, and even Li Su's navy has been trial-producing steam warships, if it can be successful, then the strength of the navy will once again make a leap.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that after leaving the Maliu Strait in the past, the sea pirates were rampant on the route into Tianzhu Bay, which posed a huge threat to the passing ships, and Li Su had long wanted to clean it up, but because of the affairs of the South Seas, he had not been able to free his hands, and only last year he finally organized a large number of navies to start clearing them.

After a year's hard work, the navy eliminated hundreds of large and small pirates here, so that the shipping routes in Tianzhu Bay were orderly. This makes the maritime merchants from all over the world praise each other, and at the same time, it also greatly promotes the commercial exchanges here.

The steamship on which Li Su was seated did not go to Ceylon Island, and it was directly anchored at the Tianzhu port, which was originally a nameless small port, but because it was the closest to Zhongjing, it soon became prosperous, and now it has been named Jingwei Port by Li Yun, and a large number of military forces are also deployed to prevent the enemy from attacking from the sea.

There is a railway to Zhongjing in Jingweigang, which was also just completed last year, from the rails to the trains, all imported from Li Su, and it is very interesting that the carriages of the trains are also divided into grades, Brahmins and Kshatriyas sit in the higher carriages, while the Vaishyas can only take the lower carriages, as for the lowest Dhadra, they are not eligible to take the train.

Li Su's messenger arrived one step ahead of him, so Li Zhen and Li Yun specially arranged a train for Li Su to meet him. Although the current train has been improved several times, and the speed is getting faster and faster, it is at most about the same as the speed of horses, and it still takes three hours to get from Jingweigang to Zhongjing, so Li Su slept on the train before arriving in Zhongjing.

When Li Su got off the train, Li Zhen and Li Yun were already waiting for him at the train station, which made Li Su very happy, and he walked forward with a big laugh and hugged the two brothers warmly a few times, and then Li Su pulled Li Zhen and Li Yun into the carriage as if they were running away, and rushed to the palace.

If you don't escape, you can't escape, the train station is originally a place where the flow of people is concentrated, and one of the biggest features of Tianzhu is "smelly", and the railway station is even more stinky, there is simply no way to stand people, Li Zhen and Li Yun can wait for themselves in that kind of place, and it is really difficult for the two of them.
