Chapter 366: Chess Meets Opponents
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu, the secretary of the military department, learned the experience of the previous failure in the struggle with Li Linfu, and now he is also scheming and standing on the same camp as Li Mao. "Sage, why don't we send two sailors in Nanjing and Qingdao, Shandong Province to cover the coast and the canal and then create some momentum for their Lin'an City, so that it can relieve some pressure on Xiao Dashuai, what do you think?"
Li Mao heard Xiao Yu's words, then sat down and checked the map, and then nodded silently, and after a long time, he looked up at Xiao Yu thoughtfully, and said, "Xiao Aiqing, this rash mobilization of the sea waterproof division, how to escort the sea trade at sea, you must know that although the pirates are not as rampant as before, they are still more or less hidden on some islands and running around, if the merchant ships suffer losses in the future, will it lead the Manchu Dynasty to be verbose again!" ”
"On this point, sage, you can rest assured, our military department can completely adjust the matter of escorting the sea in the center, the sailors of the Shandong Peninsula are tired all the year round, and it is time to repair them, and at this time, sending them south can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and the heavy responsibility of escorting can also be handed over to the South China Sea Navy to deal with it together...... General Haixiao has also returned to Lingnan Port from the Japanese Province at this moment, and he is personally in command, thinking that those pirates must have no place to stay...... It's these hundreds of thousands of troops who have rushed out, and it seems that the military budget is going to be ...... again."
"This Aiqing can rest assured, this sailor's expedition can also be said to be a whole training exercise, and the cost should be spread evenly from the Wang Family Chamber of Commerce and the Natural Residence Chamber of Commerce, as for them, Aiqing will directly send someone to discuss with the two mothers, just say that I have agreed!" "Well, since things are arranged like this, then the old minister thinks that you don't have to bother so much, the problem of ringworm in Jiangnan, although it is a little annoying, will never hurt the muscles and bones. On the contrary, the Ministry of War received a secret report last month, the black-clothed monarch of the Great Food Diet launched a war uprising in the Great Food Country more than ten years ago, and after many years of southern and northern wars, he still stabilized the entire Great Food Country and changed the name of the country to the Abbal Dynasty, this person is ambitious and should not be underestimated, and now he is expanding everywhere, not to mention, but also faintly ......peeping into the silk trade road of my Tang Dynasty."
"Oh, it seems that our Tang Dynasty is developing, and these little guys around them are still not idle, by the way, how is the establishment of the Western Expedition Command Post of the old man Gu Xu, if I remember correctly, there is still a month, the vanguard of the Turkic Dao 50,000 horses should be about to enter Tubo in Qinghai Dao, your military department should deal with this matter again, and tell Wang Sishen of Tubo, don't make trouble for Aguli and Nazayi, not only to make way out, but also to do everything possible to ensure their logistics and maintenance......"
"This ...... Or a saint, you think about it thoroughly, at this time, General Wang's pseudonym Tashi is also the matter of Dabai and the world, at the beginning, everyone in the world thought that the little general of the Wang family died in battle, but I didn't expect him to endure humiliation and take care of the saint You wholeheartedly took care of Tubo Dao......" The anger in Li Mao's heart gradually dissipated a lot when the two said this.
However, Li Mao immediately hung in his mind about Xiao Yu's mention of the Great Food Country, Abba Pull Tear Apart, and then integrate the strength and start to expand outward, but even with a wave of his hand, he ordered the military department to take out all the internal details of the Black Food Country and check it up.
He even took great pains to summon several young officials who were familiar with the customs and customs of the big food to the imperial study for an interview. "What a Baba tear, this old boy turned out to be a slave ......" Li Mao looked at the sporadic information passed by the Persian merchants of Dashi with great interest, and muttered to himself in the face of the officials of the Ministry of War, although he didn't know whether the things said in the information were true or false, but Li Mao still thought of the rise of a powerful dynasty in this Arab region through the memories in his mind that had not yet been confirmed, after all, they seemed to have fought with the army of the Tang Emperor, And it was written into history as a victor.
"Saint...... This Abbasid dynasty is actually not as powerful as the world rumores, their territory is vast, but the number of people is scarce, compared with my Tang Empire, it is like the country of Yelang, this time the fifty armies of the Turkic Dao westward into this Abbasid kingdom do not seem to be on the way, but if they want to take the Tianzhu country in the future, they are in the middle, but at present, this big food country is surrounded by yellow sand everywhere except for some oasis land, there is no need to conquer at all......
The old man Xiao Yu smiled and followed Li Mao's gaze on the world map on the table, and thought he was well-informed and put forward his opinions, but Li Mao didn't look up at him again from beginning to end, until a few documents listed the population and military strength of the Great Food Country in detail, Li Mao raised the right hand on the Russian map slightly, and then spoke to everyone
"There's nothing to be desired! It's not a desert or a wild land of ice and snow, but the whole world is not the imperial land, is it better than nothing? In the future, I will set up a monument wherever I go to the Tang Dynasty Bingfeng and write a few strokes in the history books, is it always good? But this Arabian Peninsula is really eye-catching, why not now? Could it be that I sent 500,000 Turkic horses to Europe for sightseeing? Let them bring things to the house as much as possible, how much can they take, anyway, those miscellaneous pieces will not be good birds in a thousand years, we will be wicked first, then the descendants of the Tang Dynasty will naturally go to them for help when they are rich...... That's how their guys do......"
Li Mao's words are a hammer in the east and an ax in the west, anyway, Xiao Yu and several ministers of the Ministry of War have already been dizzy when they are said, but Li Mao said so much that he can take things to home as much as possible, but they remembered it in their hearts, and they also wrote it into the military order conveyed by the Ministry of War to Agul Na Tashi and Li Sizhong.
"Sage, what did you mean by saying that the descendants of the Tang Dynasty would help them? The place where the sun and the moon shine is the Han land, the Tang Kingdom, it stands to reason that it is also a matter for the saint and our court to help...... As far as the prestige of our Tang Dynasty is concerned, not a thousand years later, even a few decades later, all of them will be bathed in the imperial grace of the Tang Dynasty sages......"
"Lao Xiao, Lao Xiao! You still don't understand this! The change of dynasties, the strength and weakness have their own destiny, what I am doing now is nothing more than to knock all the foreign forces into the trough, and one day they will still stand up, but I hope that no matter how they struggle, they will stand behind our Central Plains Huaxia, do you understand? I don't want to see anything about China anymore, and this foreign invasion of China will not happen...... Don't blame me for being ruthless! I don't want to slaughter innocents...... But this cake is so big, if the people of my Datang want to live more comfortably, they can only eat a few more pieces......"
What Li Mao said is easy to understand, and ordinary people can immediately understand it when they hear it, so how can this group of scheming guys in front of him not understand? So all the military officials led by Xiao Yu knelt down and kowtowed, and Mo Yan, who made a heartbreak, comforted Li Mao and said, "Sage, you are still in your heart at this moment, so well-intentioned, the old minister thinks that the descendants of the Tang Dynasty will also remember this benevolence and kindness, and kill to stop killing, and the right way is to stop killing, and now Turkic, Tibetan, and there is no war, this ...... Isn't this the sage, your foresight? It is expected that in the future, there will be peace in the black clothes, and even the entire Silk Road, and the Rakshasas, Tianzhu and other countries will gradually be bathed in the benevolence of the saint......"
Here, after listening to a lot of sycophants in the imperial study, the Qingfeng who was far away at the other end of Xuancheng in Anhui Province was also being blown into the sky by a large group of people who were shaving and patting horses. "Commander, I'm afraid that the attacks and harassments in the past few days have already stirred up the enemy's partial commander, and only you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come up with such a wonderful guerrilla warfare method! Make use of the familiar topography of Jiangnan ......"
"Okay, okay, colleagues, and General Xu, you don't want to praise someone anymore, this battle can hit with one blow, slow down the enemy's march, it is the credit of your concerted efforts, turn back and urge a certain will definitely explain the situation to His Royal Highness the Prince, and you will receive the merit, but now it is not yet the time to celebrate the merits, the enemy's 100,000 partial divisions seem to be damaged, but judging from the speed of their retreat, the commander of the army is not an ordinary person, so in such a short time, the cavalry and infantry can cooperate to cover each other and retreat alternately, And if it weren't for the fact that our army relied on the superiority of numbers to suppress the army, I am afraid that it would have been attacked and killed by it at that time......"
After urging Qingfeng to calmly analyze these words, he immediately led all the generals in the military tent to nod in agreement, during which many people continued to propose that although it was difficult for the Shenwu cannon to move forward half a step at this time, it was still impossible to set foot in a hundred miles of the place where the cannon was guarded, so the position of the cannon was like a big wedge inserted into the central hinterland of Jiangnan, if it was not pulled out this morning, it would always be a big trouble.
"Yes, General Huang's words are also the worry in his heart, the Shenwu cannon is amazingly powerful, and now it is cut off by our army to walk and move forward, but as long as there is the position of the cannon, the small Xuancheng is still sleepy, in addition, the spies reported that when we waited for the 500,000 troops to surround it, there was an elite light cavalry of about 20,000 people in the place who quickly jumped out of the encirclement, and at this moment it was like a ghost wandering in the interior of Anhui Road, and there was even a faint tendency to approach Zhejiang East Road...... It was originally a partial division in a desperate situation, but as soon as these 20,000 people were separated, the form immediately changed endlessly, and they had two partial divisions and echoed left and right, one was flexible and mobile, and the other was as stable as Mount Tai...... That's where the commander comes in! ”
Thinking of this, Qi Qingfeng immediately dispatched dozens of spies to collect the news of the secret agents from all sides, and even the news channels in the distant Beijing Division were immediately activated, and all this he did was just to find out the details of the general of the unified army opposite in the fastest time.
