People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 371

The three conquests of Goguryeo were also a cause of the riots at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Some people also said that Yang Guang's three conquests of Goguryeo were to consume the power of the powerful.

War and construction cannot coexist, and what the emperor thinks does not necessarily follow.

Yang Guang's idea is good, but his approach is indeed wrong.

Li Zheng let out a long sigh.

After the Han Dynasty ruled the world, there was no such thing as Goguryeo, only Goguryeo people. At that time, Goguryeo was the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the four counties of the Han Dynasty are the current Goguryeo.

This is the territory of the big man.

According to the statement of the gentry in the Central Plains today, Goguryeo is a thief. They took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and even almost took over the Liaodong area.

The territory even exceeds the south of the Yalu River.

There are many comments in history.

Yang Guangdong Zhengyi said it was to recapture the four Han counties belonging to the Central Plains.

One said it was to consume the power of the Shandong gentry.

It will be a matter of time before Li Shimin conquers Goguryeo, and now he needs to accumulate national power.

Yang Guang's lesson from the past is in front of him, and Li Shimin will not easily repeat the same mistakes.

Today's Datang is not rich in national strength.

But Li Shimin will definitely do this, and Li Shimin will not be ignorant of Yang Guang's purpose.

The identity of the Han people is the imprint of the Central Plains people, and it is imperative to retake the four counties of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Guang failed, but his failure gave a signal to later dynasties.

It is said that the current Li Shimin wants to conquer Goguryeo because he has swelled up so quickly?
This idea is actually quite dangerous. If you want to conquer Goguryeo, you must first think about your own worries, that is, the movement of Tubo.

It is still too difficult to conquer Goguryeo if one day does not take down Tubo, one day does not beat Tubo to a bruise.

Once the Eastern Expedition starts, if the defense of the Hexi Corridor is lax, Songtsan Gampo is likely to take this opportunity to take the Hexi Corridor, and there will be chaos in the leaderless court.

As long as the rear is stable, it's fine for Li Shimin to go east.

In the final analysis, Li Shimin was overjoyed when he swelled up.

Li Zheng said to Feng An: "If you say that the Eastern Expedition is not the time yet, it will not be a good time for the Eastern Expedition in a few years."

"Why do you think so?"

"Yang Guang failed to conquer Goguryeo three times, and once the war started, it would consume national strength. I don't know if Yang Guang was impatient, so he would conquer Goguryeo three times. Therefore, I think it is not a good time to conquer Goguryeo. The risk is too great. , the benefits are too small, and it is easy to plunge Datang into the quagmire of war."

"War has to be paid. If you spend 100 million yuan in war preparations, if you want to get back the cost, you have to get back 300 million yuan in income to be considered profitable. This is the cost of war. If you can't get back the income of 100 million yuan, you will pay for nothing. Bad more famous."

"Once you go on an expedition, you must win it. It is necessary to give military merit, military pay, and knighthood. Once the national war starts, it will be related to the interests of the entire Central Plains. It may not be a small matter to lose 100 million guan, but losing the hearts of the people will be a big deal." It may not be possible to take it back.”

"If you can't get back the profits, His Majesty will probably follow in Yang Guang's footsteps if you want to continue raising bets."

"Goguryeo will be taken back sooner or later, but not now, at least before the west of the Tang Dynasty is settled, it is not a good time to go out."

After listening to Li Zheng's words, Feng An saw that the boy's gaze became more and more different, and his analysis was clear and logical.

I had discussed it with Fang Xuanling and Qin Qiong in private before, and it was indeed not a good time to set off.

The words of Fang Xuanling and Li Zheng basically agree, and Fang Xuanling also believes that it is not a good time to go east to Goguryeo.

This kid is right, war has costs.

The money to be paid for a big war is more than a million guan.

When Yang Guangdong conquered Goguryeo, he almost emptied the accumulation of a hundred years in the previous Sui Dynasty.

This is the end of the world.

Once you can't get enough benefits back, it's okay to win, but once you lose and lose the hearts of the people, it will not be a trivial matter.

Li Zheng spoke more transparently than Fang Xuanling, this kid seemed to understand the essence of war very well.

It is really rare for a child who is not yet an adult to look at war with such an attitude.

War is not a business. At the time of the Weishui alliance, the Turkic people were almost killed in front of the gate of Chang'an city.

This is a disgrace to Li Tang Jiangshan. Li Shimin saved his national power and gritted his teeth to launch the counterattack of the Turks in the Yinshan World War I.

In the end, he won a big victory. Since then, Datang has obtained the natural danger of Yinshan Mountain. It is conceivable that the income after this victory is very rich.

The Turks donated countless cattle and sheep. If there was no Yinshan victory, there would be no Tian Khan today.

Feng An put down the tea bowl in his hand, "Li Zheng, it's really a pity that you don't become an official."

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's a pity, I'm not qualified to be an official."

Feng An stood up and said, "It's time for the old man to go back to Chang'an. Now the old man's status is very bad, so he can't leave Chang'an for too long."

"Then I won't send General Feng off."

Feng An patted Li Zheng on the shoulder, "I think you are suitable to be a civil servant, not a general. It is too wasteful for His Majesty to let you serve in the Longwu Army. People like you should always give advice to Your Majesty." It is."

Li Zheng's smile froze, "General Feng was joking, it's the eunuch's business, my father is only my son, and I still have a son for the family."

Feng An said with a smile: "You know what this old man is talking about. I came here in a hurry this time. If I have time in the future, I will definitely have a drink with you. Although you are a thief like a fox, you live a clear life." , and the words are clear, the old man can be your friend."

Li Zheng hurriedly said: "I dare not climb high."

"Gao Pan? Don't you dare? Hahaha." Feng Ang laughed loudly, "You will definitely earn a lot of money in the future. I traveled all over the Central Plains when I was young and met many, many people. People like you can live a long life." long time."

"Thank you, General Feng, for your kind words."

"The old man said goodbye."

Li Zheng still saluted and said, "No more."

Feng An left Jingyang, and Li Zheng thought of a very serious problem.

When he came to the printing shop, Xu Jingzong had already written the magazine and was ready to print it.

Li Zheng pulled Xu Jingzong aside and asked, "Old Xu, let me ask you something."

Seeing Li Zheng's anxious expression, Xu Jingzong was at a loss, "Mayor of the county, please tell me?"

"What do people in Chang'an say about me now?"

Xu Jingzong replied: "They all say that the county magistrate is the number one talented person today."

"What else?" Li Zheng asked again.

"And..." Xu Jingzong thought for a while and said: "The county marquis is not close to women, but likes money, don't want to be an official, and knows all kinds of crafts."

"Did someone say that I predict things like a god?"

Xu Jingzong suddenly realized and nodded and said: "It is true that there is such a thing. They say that the county magistrate is a person who knows the secrets of heaven. Even Yuan Tiangang usually said that the county magistrate's ability is even inferior to him."

Li Zheng said to himself: "Have I really become a magic stick?"
