Chapter 654: Truth
Half an hour later, Liu Mao's mansion.
Cups-by-cups of tea rippled with steam, and several people sat together.
Moenko was full of ambition, but it seemed like he had a lot to say and didn't know where to start.
Li Hao looked at his expression, and also had a three-point guess about the situation in Zhenla Country in his heart.
"Lord Moenko, is there something going on in this Zhenla country, why does this Seventh Prince seem to have a tendency to overpower the monarch?"
Moenke sighed: "The prince is wise, I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it, today's Zhenla country has become a fish on the chopping board, and it is at the mercy of others." ”
What does that mean? Can you explain? Li Ziyin hurriedly asked.
She once came here with her father to do business, at that time the land area of Zhenla was not large, but the country was peaceful and the people were rich, in just a few years, how could it fall into such a field, the national water division was orthodox, and it became a tax robber to block the road and rob.
"If the lower official is not mistaken, the head of the Li family should have come to the country to do business on behalf of the Li family of Longxi in the Tang Dynasty a few years ago, and he should know the situation of the country! Zhenla country is near the sea, the land area is small, the land is barren and not good at farming, in the past, it relied on foreign ships to dock and buy and sell some commodities to live. This Jinyan City port stands at more than eighty percent of the national tax every year! ”
"Well, I remember!"
"A year ago, there was a drastic change in Datang Suzhou, and the formation of the Dragon Scale Fleet defeated a famous pirate, flying in the sea! In the following six months, the sea robbers were completely subdued, and there were fewer and fewer pirates, and there were more and more cargo ship merchants who came and went to do business. China's economy has also taken off. ”
"Isn't that a good thing?" Li Ziyin frowned and said.
"A good thing?" Moenko smiled bitterly: "It is really because the number of merchant ships coming and going has gradually increased that my Zhenla country has fallen into today's embarrassing situation." ”
"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. The country of Chenla is located in a remote area, the land is barren, and although the people live in abundance, it is of little use for other countries to come. But when there are more businessmen, the benefits will also become greater. It has always been that the country of Zhenla must have been threatened by some countries, right? ”
Li Hao said with a sigh.
"What the prince said is extremely true! Just half a year ago, the Li Kingdom set out to conquer Dongying. After years of trouble, the East Ying Wa has been crisscrossing the four seas, and he is the only pirate who can compete with the dragon scale fleet at sea. In this battle, the Tang Dragon Scale Fleet will target all

The ministry was placed on the side of Dongying, but the south was empty. Emperor Rongri in the west took advantage of the situation and began to attack us! ”
"Rongri Empire!"
Li Hao was stunned, isn't the Rongri Empire a country adjacent to Tibet? It is rumored that the people of the empire are fierce and will be able to fight well, but the empire is still separated from Zhenla by 108,000 miles, how can the dilemma of Zhenla be caused by Rongri?
"The prince doesn't know! Since the dragon scale fleet shook the seas, the coastal countries have seen the importance of the ship array. Xia Guan knew that the final decisive battle between the Li Kingdom and the Turks also relied on the Linghui Army to attract the enemy's attention head-on, and then relied on the sneak attack of the sailors to win the victory, right? ”
"That's right!" Li Hao nodded, and his admiration for Moenke was a little more.
The world said that Li Hao was wise and martial, and led the Linghui army to sweep through the Turks and conquer this empire that once galloped on the grassland. As everyone knows, if it weren't for the sailors, it would be a sneak attack around the rear, and with the strength of the Linghui Army at that time, it would not be easy to tie with the Turks, let alone conquer it.
Undisturbed by the rumors of the world, thousands of miles away, he can already see the war clearly, and this Moenko's vision is no longer a black egg.
"It is precisely because the dragon scale fleet is so prestigious, many countries have begun to take care of the development of sailors, the Rongri Empire is one of them, they have taken precautions and vigorously expanded outward from the sea, and half a year ago, their fleet sailed to our country's territorial waters!"
"What are you planning for? It's not me, it's my dragon scale fleet! Li Hao snorted coldly.
"Yes!"
Moenco didn't go around in circles, and nodded directly.
The sudden rise of a country's warships and sailors is bound to make the once vested interests look out for vigilance, and it is clear that the majestic posture of the dragon scale fleet to conquer the four seas has deeply shocked these coastal countries in the west.
"Hmph, it seems that the people of this Rongri Empire still have a few brushes, and before this king makes a move, they already know this king's intentions!" Li Hao said with a sneer in his heart.
Moenko continued: "The warships of the Rongri Empire came to our territorial waters, and did not attack directly, but used the cold of their lips to help us strengthen our coastal defense, and forcefully let a group of troops enter our country. They said they were here to help us, but in fact, they were interested in our location! I want to make money through the real country! ”
"Our country is narrow
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There are few troops, and the number of troops is not at all the opponent of the powerful Rongri Kingdom, and the monarch is forced to have no choice but to compromise. Unexpectedly, a group of nobles led by the Seventh Prince turned out to be even more direct than the monarch, and had already taken refuge in the Rongri Kingdom and became their puppets to rule our country! ”
Li Hao snorted coldly, but did not speak.
Coming from the future, he is well aware of these acts in the name of helping other countries develop, allowing a large number of troops to be stationed and suppressed by force. If you want to be a robber, but you don't want to be infamy, you have to be taken up by them, which is really shameful to the extreme.
Moenke smiled bitterly: "If His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty hadn't sensed the ambitions of the Rongri Empire and sent Lord Liu Mao over to help first, maybe we wouldn't have been able to hold it a long time ago!" ”
"Liu Mao, did Your Majesty ask you to come over?" Li Hao was slightly stunned.
Liu Mao nodded with a solemn expression: "That's right, His Majesty suddenly asked me to send an envoy to Zhenla that day, but I didn't say the reason for the envoy, at first I was also confused by the second monk, but now it seems that I should have noticed something, so I came over to prevent trouble!" ”
"Haha, I said why did Your Majesty easily agree to this king's request to open up a maritime trade route this time, it turned out that everything was calculated in the morning."
is worthy of being the Eternal Sage, Li Hao really underestimated Li Shimin!
"Now in the Zhenla Kingdom, the army of the Rongri Kingdom has withdrawn, but it is a deep threat to us, and now in the court, the Seven Princes and the monarch are facing each other, and after Lord Liu Mao came, Yu Guojun stood together and dealt with them, which maintained the balance. When Xia Guan saw the prince coming with a fleet today, he knew that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to change the embarrassing situation of our country, so he made this decision to lead the prince into the game, which is a lot of offense, and I hope to forgive the sin! ”
Li Hao was silent, not blaming Moenko, he took a chart from the black egg's hand and looked at it carefully.
After a while, he suddenly laughed: "I thought that this time I just came out to do business and open up a sea route, but I didn't expect that this business would be negotiated, and it was really not as simple as I expected!" ”
"We are making such a fuss in Zhenla Country, it must have also alarmed the Rongri Empire, if we don't solve this trouble, I'm afraid that business will not be easy in the future!" Li Ziyin smiled bitterly.
Sure enough, everything in the world is full of variables, which makes people unguardable.
"In that case, let's solve it!" Li Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
