Volume 5 Chapter 609 The Shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty (Story 4)
With the Tang Dynasty soldiers approaching the city.
Goguryeo couldn't sit still, in addition to sending envoys, they themselves also made a lot of preparations.
Of course, the happiest thing about all this is Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu.
Without him, Yuan Gai Suwen under his command has been making small moves in the past few years, and if he is not curbed, this guy will be about to rebel.
No, as soon as Datang sent troops, it stabilized the country.
There is nothing to say about the use of external contradictions and the diversion of internal contradictions within the country, which is a means used by almost every king.
As for what this would bring to the dynasty, the king didn't really care.
Of course, this is also because of Goguryeo's own environmental problems.
Over the years, how many Central Plains dynasties have conquered this land? The earliest can be traced back to the Han Dynasty!
At that time, there was no Goguryeo.
In the former Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was the whole country and conquered this land several times, and how many Han bones and ambitions were buried in this land?
But in the end, it was always them who really dominated Goguryeo!
No one can come.
Therefore, this time, Gao Jianwu was not too worried.
This land is not for anyone to come and spread wild.
As for saying that he sent so many missions, it was just what he meant to be.
At this time.
Liaodong City.
Yuangai Suwen sits here.
Looking at the dissatisfaction on the faces of the soldiers and staff under his command, he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, I know what you are thinking, but now that I have foreign enemies in Goguryeo, how can I sit idly by?"
I'm waiting so much, isn't it also to make Goguryeo better?
If we sit idly by, then what is the difference between us and Gao Jianwu and the like? ”
It can be seen from his name Gao Jianwu that they and Gao Jianwu have reached the point of incompatibility.
But this is also normal, in the original history, it was he who overthrew Gao Jianwu and successfully brought Goguryeo to another height - the death of the country!
Of course, he was after he became a dictator, and now he is still thinking about Goguryeo.
You can see it from what he said.
"What the great pair said to Lu is very true, now is the time of life and death of the country, and the country and dynasty should be the most important." At that moment, someone said, "The king thinks that the Tang Dynasty's move to send troops will be the same as in the past, but it is just a few bones?"
But he forgot that today's Datang is no longer the Tang Dynasty of the past.
Nowadays, all countries are vigorously developing new weapons, but our king is not concerned about this, and invisibly, the gap between my Goguryeo and other countries is very large!
This time, if we don't deal with it carefully, I am afraid that we will be in danger of losing our country......"
After he finished speaking, Yuangai Suwen also nodded in agreement.
This is also the reason why he and Gao Jianwu have contradictions.
It was also because of this that his plan to rebel was forcibly advanced by more than 20 years.
Of course, none of us knows when Yuangai Suwen had the idea of rebellion in the original history.
But now, although it is more than 20 years earlier, Yuangai Suwen does have thoughts that he should not have been born.
All of this has to start with the first expedition of the Tang Dynasty to Goguryeo.
Because of that war, Yuangai Suwen accumulated enough prestige and influence in the army.
In addition, the Shunnu tribe from which he was born is the most warlike of the five Goguryeo tribes.
This made Gao Jianwu hesitate when he proposed to vigorously reform ordnance and develop new ordnance, and there has been no clear answer until now.
This is not to say that Gao Jianwu does not know the quality of the new armament, nor that he does not know that this will make the gap between Goguryeo and the surrounding countries wider and wider.
On the contrary, he knew it well!
It's just that there is no point in strengthening an army that cannot be in his own hands?
Do you think you're sitting too firmly under your buttocks?
It is precisely for this reason that Yuangai Suwen, who was already rebellious, had a different kind of thought.
Yuangai Suwen was silent for a long time and did not speak.
That's exactly what he's worried about.
After a long time, Yuan Gai Suwen suddenly asked, "By the way, Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty still hasn't moved?" ”
When a soldier heard this, he got up and said: "Yes, the last general is also strange, this Li Jing has been in the city for a few days, and he is not in a hurry to attack the city, he has not done anything, he has been training those soldiers outside the city every day, and those who don't know think that they are really here to train."
However, the state of our soldiers was not very good, and they were ready every day, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
The Han people have a good saying, only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves? ”
After hearing what he said, Yuan Gai Suwen also frowned.
Murder and heartbreaking!
The reason why Li Jing did this was nothing more than to wear down the faith of his Goguryeo soldiers.
To put it bluntly, it's torturing them.
Invisibly put pressure on them.
Of course, he can also understand that since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty wanted to conquer Goguryeo, and his Liaodong City was the first to bear the brunt.
After all, this is the eastern gate of Goguryeo.
It is not surprising that Li Jing will attach such importance to it.
To the west of Liaodong City, across the river, Huaiyuan City.
Speaking of this Huai Yuan, it is also very ghostly.
This place used to be a town, but because it was a necessary place for the conquest of Goguryeo, over time, it was also upgraded to a county.
Properly ate the terrain dividend of Goguryeo.
And at this time, outside Huaiyuan City, Li Jing was still training with a large army.
The sound of slaughter, even across the Liaoshui River, those soldiers of Goguryeo could hear it vividly.
And this was not enough, Li Jing also put a few gunpowder bombs from time to time to make the opposite side also hear.
In fact, what really made the Goguryeo soldiers uneasy was the movement brought by this thing.
After all, they have only heard of Datang's gunpowder bombs, but they have never seen them with their own eyes.
Just hearing this movement, they panicked.
Human beings are like this, they are always full of fear of the unknown.
It can be said that before this battle was fought, Goguryeo fell into disadvantage.
And in the evening, in the Tang military camp.
Li Jing and the others were drinking and talking.
As long as he arrived in the barracks, Li Jing's whole person was much more relaxed.
He is like this, as if he was born to be born for the battlefield.
As long as he returns to this familiar field, his whole body is in good spirits, and he no longer looks half-dead in the court.
At this moment, Su Dingfang laughed and said: "Dashuai's move is really clever, we didn't do anything, and we were scared that the group of Goguryeo soldiers on the other side of the river trembled!"
A few more times, in the future, when our army kills past, they will not be so scared that they will have to hug their heads and run away without lifting their pants. ”
Since the last time he went on an expedition with Li Jing, Su Dingfang can be regarded as a recovery again.
This guy has a fight with Wan Qipu, both of whom are the kind of people who are extremely murderous on the battlefield.
For killing enemies before the battle, it is especially enthusiastic.
Hearing him say this, Li Jing smiled and said, "It's not just to scare them.
Although it is said that the heart is the first, in the final analysis, it is necessary to fight hard power in the final analysis.
Now, what we are waiting for is not only their military turmoil, but also the beginning of spring.
They are all too familiar with this land, and in the extreme cold, they can bear it, but we may not be able to bear it, and if this is the case, it will undoubtedly be extremely cruel to our soldiers.
Although this place is still a kingdom of ice and snow after the beginning of spring, it is always warmer.
Playing to our strengths and avoiding weaknesses is what we should do. ”
When everyone heard this, they also nodded.
Last time, they suffered from the cold, and I don't know how many people even froze their toes.
Now that I think about it, it was a nightmare.
At the same time, Zhang Liang also sailed across the sea again, facing Beisha City across the sea.
He was also waiting.
Although Zhang Liang has a lot of small problems, in the final analysis, he is also a famous general who has followed Li Er for a long time, and his brain may not care about coping with it in the court, but on the battlefield, it will not go too wrong.
And this Beisha City, they took it last time, although in the end they still retreated, but before leaving, they also deduced how to break this Beisha City next time.
In addition to him, Li Ji has also arrived at the designated battlefield.
The three parties were not in a hurry to make a move, everyone was waiting.
Wait for the right time for them.
In other words, it is also giving Goguryeo a chance.
It's just that they tossed like this, but it made the soldiers of Goguryeo and the people of the border city panic.
If you want to hit, you will fight, what does it mean to hang but not send?
……
And in Riyue Mountain, when everything in the Tang Dynasty was developing in a good direction, the first caravan of the Ming Dynasty to go south and stationed in Wubu Tianzhu finally set off.
This also officially means that the Ming Dynasty began to open up the land of the extreme south.
But it's also embarrassing to say.
The reason why Li Chengqian was in such a hurry to go through the five Tianzhu was actually helpless.
There was no way, he didn't think about it at the beginning and chose such a place to settle.
Although he took advantage of the favorable time and place, he took advantage of the environment at that time to complete the extremely exaggerated primitive capital accumulation in a short period of time.
But he had a fatal flaw.
Daming did not go out of the port!
In the short term, this point does not pose much of a threat to the Ming Dynasty, but from the perspective of long-term development, this is the key to curbing the development of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Li Chengqian immediately decided to take advantage of the chaos of the five departments of Tianzhu to make up for this shortcoming.
And this time, the leader of the five Tianzhu is Yang Lin's son, Yang Dalang.
Back then, Wang Dequan, Yang Lin, and Li Qinjian followed Li Chengqian's beginning.
Li Qinjian was the first to follow Li Chengqian to the northwest, and Wang Dequan and Yang Lin at that time also sent their second son-in-law over.
But after that, Li Chengqian soared directly into the sky.
Wang Dequan became the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and he was the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Qinjian was the official servant of the household department, but Yang Lin waited until the Ming Dynasty completely won Tuyuhun before he officially entered the official career.
Ironically, he was the first to take refuge in Li Chengqian.
So this time, Li Qinjian really wanted to help his old brother.
If Yang Dalang can make great contributions on the battlefield of the five Tianzhu, not to mention the household servant, a principal position, he still can't run.
Li Chengqian naturally knew these thoughts about them, but he didn't say a word about them.
It's not that he also feels indebted to Yang Lin.
That doesn't exist.
Yang Lin and they can have today's status, that is what he has given.
In the same way, he can also not give.
Why should he be indebted?
As for why he didn't object, it was actually very simple, Yang Dalang was indeed the most suitable candidate.
First of all, the people who go to Wubu Tianzhu have to be their own people, and they have to be absolute henchmen.
Yang Dalang is definitely counted.
After all, they were the first group of people to follow Li Chengqian, except for Ma Ye and others.
Absolute patriarch.
Second, the people who go to Wubu Tianzhu this time also need to be proficient in business, needless to say, right?
Therefore, Yang Dalang, who was born in a merchant family, is indeed the most suitable candidate.
Even if Li Qinjian is a little selfish, Li Chengqian can accept it.
And at this time, Tibet, some Luo.
Where is Logic?
It is the place where the next generations rushed to it, and it is also a place of pilgrimage for countless people.
Of course, that's the future.
The current logic is not as big as a market town in later generations.
This is not an exaggeration.
Let's put it this way, a small county town in later generations, in this era, it is also quite explosive.
Ignoring these for the time being, his eyes returned to Mangbo Jie Sunbo.
At this moment, he was eating with Dabuqu and others.
Because it has not yet started spring, under the severe cold, everyone is also taking small sips of the unique high wine of the Ming Dynasty to ward off the cold.
"General Dabu, Your Highness, does this have long been intended to do something to the five Tianzhu? I heard that this time my Daming has already started to prepare, and there was a message from the court before, let us help cooperate.
Is this going to be ready to start? ”
Mangbo Jie Sunbo asked in a low voice as he drank his wine.
"Spank a fart." Da Buqu said with a smile, "If Da Ming wants to use troops in any place, he will plan for a long time.
How is it possible to say that you will fight?
How do you think the Ming Dynasty's undefeated record came about? ”
"What does the general mean that if we are sure, we will fight, and if we are not sure, we will not fight?" Someone said disdainfully, "No, how do Han people say it?"
Pick soft ......"
"Pick soft persimmons and pinch them."
When Dabuqu heard the words of these guys, he immediately disdained and said: "You know a fart, and you still pinch soft persimmons?"
Think about it with your brains, which one of the Ming Dynasty has annexed in the past few years is not a temporary existence?
Even if the countries of the Western Regions are a little broken, the Ming Dynasty is not broken one by one, right?
And the reason why I, Daming, was able to do this, didn't it rely on precise planning?
So, what exactly are you talking about?
Or have you all forgotten what is the surname of this land now? ”
After Dabuqu finished speaking, everyone was immediately furious!
They were indeed afraid of Li Chengqian, but you, an ordinary general, why did you speak so arrogantly?
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo immediately started haha and said, "What's the matter, as for it?" For such a little, can you still fight? ”
Since he surrendered to Li Chengqian, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo no longer regarded himself as the king of Subi.
Of course, his subordinates would still call him that, and he didn't object.
In the final analysis, this matter was originally done for Li Chengqian.
However, after returning to the Ming Dynasty, he did receive a lot of shocks.
With him playing a round, both sides immediately sat down, and this little face still has to be given.
"In fact, no matter how Da Ming plans, His Highness should be happy." Dabuqu smiled, "After all, this is one step closer to His Highness's goal. ”
Although Mangpo Jie Sunpo no longer called himself king, Dabuqu still honored him as His Highness.
It's just that at this moment, when Mangbo Jie Sun Bo heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Indeed, regardless of whether the five Tianzhu in the future have anything to do with him, the most important thing is that Li Chengqian did not deceive him at the beginning.
That's what Da Ming really did.
Soon, Yang Dalang came to Luo Chi with his caravan.
And as soon as they arrived, Yang Dalang directly found Mang Bojie Sun Bo.
At first, Mangbo Jie Sunbo was still a little confused.
The heart said that the business is so good now, and the merchant has found the official family?
As a result, when he learned that this was the caravan of the five Tianzhu of the Ming Dynasty, the whole person was dumbfounded, and said secretly, isn't this what the imperial court asked me to cooperate?
He was so puzzled, Yang Dalang smiled and said: "I really shouldn't disturb Your Highness, but when I set off this time, Li Shangshu and His Royal Highness King Ming both specially explained, saying that His Royal Highness should be familiar with the five Tianzhu, so that Xiao Yi must consult His Highness." ”
Definitely, at this point, everyone is almost sure that this is the means of the Ming Dynasty.
At the moment, many people shook their heads in disappointment.
You said you were plotting someone else's territory and sending a caravan to have a fart?
Thousands of miles to give people's heads, the gift is light and affectionate?
When Yang Dalang saw their reactions, he naturally understood.
Who is not a master of observing words and feelings?
However, after all, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo is also from the royal family, and the city government is also a very deep person, of course, he will not let Yang Dalang not come to the stage at this time.
If you slap Yang Dalang in the face at this time, won't it be a slap in the face of Li Chengqian?
"Shopkeeper Yang is polite." At that moment, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo said with a smile, "I just stayed in this Tianzhu for a while when I was in exile in my early years.
Although it may not play a big role, it is also excellent if it can share the worries of the court......
Although we all call it the Five Heavenly Zhus, in fact, they are one.
It's just that for some reason, it was divided into five parts: southeast, northwest, and middle.
However, although they are one, they are also conflicted with each other, and this is something we can take advantage of.
And in Wubu Tianzhu, there are many beliefs.
In particular, each ministry is not the same, but there are many differences.
In fact, if you really want to do business, use your brain in this area, and the effect will definitely be extraordinary.
Of course, they have a lot of beliefs, and there are a lot of rules, you have to remember this.
In this way, I will write them down for you one by one, and remember that over there, many things are very taboo.
Although they also have their own civilization, civilization and culture are two different things.
Don't expect them to reason with you......"
Saying that, Mangbo Jie Sunbo really helped him write it down seriously.
He suddenly realized that the reason why Li Chengqian asked this Yang Dalang to find him was to save his life.
After all, that place, although it is poor, is really poor......
When Yang Dalang heard this, he was not in a hurry, he just watched quietly, and after Mang Bojie Sun Bo finished writing and handed it to him with a solemn face, he also immediately made a gesture, bowed down and said, "Your Highness is hard." ”
"You're welcome." Mangbo Jie Sun Bo smiled, "Continue what you just said, after ......"
opened the chatterbox, and Mang Bojie Sun Bo really introduced Yang Dalang seriously.
When you say it, it's an hour or two.
After he finished speaking, Yang Dalang hurriedly got up again, and then said: "He and I will win the five Tianzhu in the Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely have a credit for His Highness."
By the way, this time to the south, His Royal Highness King Ming has also explained, if His Royal Highness has the intention of plotting the five Tianzhu, you might as well send a few caravans with us. ”
"Do we need it too?" Mangbo Jie Sun Bo was shocked when he heard this.
Pick up the last time, ask for a monthly pass, the word limit is not tender to blame me!
On the way back with her, good guy, she really holds a grudge, she wants to buy this for a while, and she wants to buy that for a while, either to eat or drink.
Both paws were full, and the key point was that when I walked to the door of a fruit shop, she asked me a special question.
"Do you like durian?"
I hate that smell the most, and I want to vomit when I smell it.
I firmly refused.
As a result, the child happily bought a box.
Although the box has a lid, the kind of box that holds the fruit has holes.
She also lifted it to my chest and smoked it for me......
It always felt like I was smelling along the way......
I finally went back, thinking that I had finally served this little ancestor, but wherever I was, she ate durian and went.
Oh my God, the key is my room.
In the end, I really had no choice but to.
As a result, this Nizi chatted with me for more than an hour through the bathroom door.
Of course, I wasn't really constipated for more than an hour, mainly because the smell outside was not as good as in the bathroom.
I thought to myself, it's been more than an hour, and she should finish eating, of course, the main thing is that my phone is out of battery, otherwise I can fight for a long time.
As a result, when I opened the door, I saw that this girl had moved a chair and sat at the door and looked at me with a smile.
I've been fidgeting in there for more than an hour, and you've had a good day!
Just when I was about to say a few words, the surprise came, and she got up directly and swished
