Take the land of the peninsula, the good port of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a strategic concept proposed by Li Qinzai to Li Zhi, but this concept is a supplement or extension of the Great Navigation Strategy.

The reason for its existence is because before this, Li Qinzai had put forward the concept of the Great Voyage, and on the basis of the Great Navigation, the Tang Dynasty must take the land of the peninsula in order to accelerate the completion of the Great Navigation Strategy.

To put it simply, the Wa Kingdom, Baekje, Silla and Goguryeo, these countries must be completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty, just like the overseas military bases of the US military in later generations, have a complete reason for existence and are indispensable.

Li Qinzai clicked in a few words, and Li Zhi's mind went through the original world map, and then completely understood what Li Qinzai meant.

Li Zhi's eyes gradually became excited.

Once again, Lee succeeded in convincing him.

"So, Jing Chu thinks that after the destruction of Goguryeo, my Tang Dynasty king should take Silla again?"

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Geographically speaking, even though there are good ports along the coast of Silla, in fact, the entrance to the sea is blocked by the Japanese state, and the location is not as good as the sea mouth in the east of the Japanese country.

"However, when Goguryeo and Baekje have been destroyed, and the Wa Kingdom has been completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty, there is only one Silla Kingdom left on the huge Haedong Peninsula that is not under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and the Silla Kingdom has hidden evil intentions, if it is not destroyed easily, it is difficult to say what trouble it will bring to the Tang Dynasty in the future."

"There is another advantage of Datang's destruction of Silla, if Silla is destroyed, the east of Datang will sit back and relax, and there will be no need to worry about any foreign forces, and from then on, Datang's strategic focus will shift to the west, and it will not be afraid of a fire in the backyard, and at the same time, Datang can also enjoy the huge dividends brought by the eastward voyage."

"Your Majesty, the dividends of sailing are absolutely unimaginable to you, and it can't even be described in concrete numbers."

"On the other hand, if these countries on the peninsula are not destroyed, Datang will not be able to bypass these countries while exploring the world, and the dividends we get will have to be shared with them after all, and what we could have gotten may only fall into the Datang treasury, or even less......

This sentence finally succeeded in detonating Li Zhi's anger.

"Share my dividends, dream! They want to be blind!" Li Zhi said angrily.

Saying that, Li Zhi's eyes floated with Sen Sen's murderous intent: "After the destruction of Goguryeo, the Tang army Wang Shi went all the way south, and he must take the entire territory of the peninsula.

Li Qinzai smiled, in the final analysis, after all, it is still interests that move people's hearts, and at the same time, interests can also make people kill, and the Tang Dynasty is no exception.

Today, I broke the truth with Li Zhi and told him that Li Zhi was always hesitant to do anything to Silla.

However, when the huge benefit of the "sailing dividend" was placed in front of Li Zhi, Li Zhi finally gave up.

In the face of national interests, relatives can also be killed, not to mention an overseas Dongyi with hidden evil intentions.

Li Zhi has been too short of money in recent years, why didn't he want to fight in all directions like his father and expand his territory, but Li Shimin spent the country's capital during his reign, whether it was population, wealth or resources, they were almost consumed in the frequent foreign use of troops in Zhenguan years.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, even though he was ambitious, he had to adopt a policy of rest and recuperation to let the treasury and the people recover some vitality, so Li Zhi ascended the throne for more than ten years, and the number of times he used troops abroad was pitiful.

Even if it is a soldier, it can only fight a local small-scale war, and it can't fight a big war at all, such as the battle of Li Qinzai once subdued Tuyuhun, such as the more famous Xue Rengui Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain, Zhengjiu surnamed Tiele, etc., in fact, they can only be regarded as small-scale wars.

So Li Zhi has actually been very aggrieved, and a penny is difficult to defeat heroes, and it is also difficult to defeat ambitious emperors.

If the imperial court had enough money and food, Li Zhi would have ridden on Tubo's neck to, and by the way, he would have woken up Lu Dongzan with a soak of yellow urine, so why not endure it to this day.

Now Li Qinzai's great navigation strategy, in addition to bringing new species to Datang, in fact, the greater benefit is that it can bring endless dividends to Datang.

This bonus was the biggest reason for Li Zhi to make up his mind to agree to the seafaring strategy. To put it bluntly, it is actually colonial plunder.

Quanzhou in the southeast has begun to build ships, and the sailors and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are also slowly expanding their training, coupled with Li Qinzai's world map, everything is advancing in an orderly manner, and the dividends of navigation are actually not far away.

At this juncture, whoever dares to share Li Zhi's dividends, Li Zhi will definitely play with him.

I want to fight a big battle, I want to surpass the first emperor in the matter of expanding the territory, I also want to build palaces and gardens, I also want to give benefits to the people, so that I can leave the reputation of "Renjun and Holy Emperor" in the history books......

[In view of the general environment,

All of this requires an endless amount of money.

In the face of huge interests, what is Silla?

It's not even an idiom, is it?

Don't hesitate to extinguish it!

"Jing Chu, the matter of destroying Silla, I think I can start the layout." Li Zhi said in a gloomy tone: "When the king went east to conquer Goguryeo, the layout of the Silla kingdom must be carried out at the same time, so that after the destruction of Goguryeo, the battle for the destruction of Silla can be perfectly connected."

Li Qinzai lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for trespassing, the ministers have actually begun to arrange."

"Oh? How is the layout of the beginning?"

"The minister promised the envoy Fujiwara Yuno last night, and the Tang Dynasty could consider appropriately loosening the ties on the Japanese state, but the condition was that the Japanese state would immediately requisition its own young people, go to sea to launch a provocation against the Silla state, land in Silla to create friction between the two countries, and brew the clouds of war."

"At the end of the battle to destroy Silla, the minister thought that it could be handed over to the Wa State to handle, and the Tang Dynasty would not be infamous as an unkind minister."

"The two countries started a war, and it reached the point of being out of control, and the Tang Dynasty intervened strongly in mediation in the name of the suzerain, and the king naturally settled in Silla, and the Japanese withdrew their troops."

Saying that, Li Qinzai sighed sadly and said, "Who knows that the sky has no eyes, the war between the two countries has just been mediated by the Tang Dynasty, and the lord of Silla suddenly died, and the Tang Dynasty has no choice but to support another puppet as the lord of the country......

"However, after all, the puppet was still a little incompetent, and the incompetence of governing the country led to resentment among the people, so the new lord had to ask the Tang Dynasty to annex it, just like Tuyuhun, and the subjects of the whole country asked for three requests, and the Tang Dynasty reluctantly made it difficult for the Tang Dynasty to include the Silla Kingdom into the territory......

Li Qinzai spread his hands and said innocently: "In this way, the entire peninsula has inexplicably become the Tang Dynasty, the world is unpredictable, the vicissitudes of life, Your Majesty Shengming, those who have attained the Tao will be helped, and God will have a generous gift."

After Li Qinzai finished speaking, Li Zhi and Empress Wu were stunned, and the husband and wife looked at each other and didn't squeak for a long time.

After a long time, Li Zhi ate and said, "Jing Chu, did you come up with such a brazen method?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to care about the process, just ask, if this method works, it's over."

The couple was silent again, and after a long time, Empress Wu gritted her teeth: "It works, but ...... It's so shameless, it sounds shameless, and Datang is basically playing the role of a hypocrite in it."

Li Qinzai had no choice but to sigh and said, "Then I'm afraid that the sailing dividends of our Datang will be inevitable......

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi decisively slapped his thigh: "No shame! Who dares to say shameless?"

"What hypocrite, what is wrong with the suzerain's kingdom doing the right thing for heaven? That's it!"
