Emperor Zhenguan

The royal family of Silla was escorted to Chang'an. Li Zhiyun didn't choose to kill him. Instead, he named Kinderman "Silla Duke" and raised him well.As for the children of other royal families, nobles, and officials, they are not treated so well.Those who were full of crimes were slaughtered directly, and the others were either sent to build roads or mines, and the female relatives were sent to the Jiaofang Division.

After Silla was settled, Li Zhiyun reached out to plant the Tang Dynasty flag in the original Goguryeo area.

"Well done, Jun Xian." Li Zhiyun turned around and patted him on the shoulder.

Next door, the Prime Ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were discussing post-war rewards, and arguments could be heard from time to time.

Li Junxian said humbly: "If His Majesty hadn't sent someone to assist the battle with artillery, it would have been difficult to open up territory for His Majesty so smoothly. In addition, Governor Xu has strategized, and the credit goes to the last general."

"In front of me, don't be humble." Li Zhiyun said with a smile, "You have lived up to my high expectations, very good."

"Your Majesty, the general has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Say."

Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty, the general thinks that although Silla and other countries have been conquered this time, the people there will not support them. I am afraid that the governance will be difficult. Your Majesty still needs to think more about it."

"Yes, you are right. I and the ministers have been thinking about this issue for a long time." Li Zhiyun said as he walked, "Silla, Baekje, and even Goguryeo are not loosely allied countries like the grasslands. They have been rooted in the place for many years, and their roots are deep, so it is difficult to make them submit in a short time."

The two monarchs and ministers had another in-depth chat about Silla Baekje.

The next day.

political affairs hall.

"Silla and Baekje have been laid down. I have decided to place them in Liaodong Road, place them in prefectures and counties, and let the court send officials to educate them. The local people will be relocated. In addition, I will order Xu Shiji to make preparations. Once someone recovers, he will immediately Captured, made a slave."

It is impossible not to suck blood, but considering the reality, we can set up a fake archway to treat that place and arrest people secretly.The external rhetoric is naturally rebellion.

This little routine has been tried and tested.

Generally speaking, the situation in Goguryeo and other countries is different from that of the grasslands. After all, they are farming countries, and these three countries have some people's hearts. Naturally, you can slowly operate the blood sucking.Anyway, the ultimate goal will not change, to exploit and squeeze these barbarians.Become, just a manipulation.

Naturally, the division of states and counties began next. However, Silla and other countries are mainly cities, so there is really nothing to divide. They can only roughly delineate states and counties. In some places, states are counties.

In general, it is very sloppy, and it can be seen that it was made temporarily, and it can only be done slowly in the future, but it is a long-term plan, and what we need to do now is to stabilize the place.

In the future, in order to divide it more carefully, maybe another one will be added.

until evening.

Everyone finally finished the draft, and the more detailed plan still needs to be discussed, and it is impossible to make a decision easily.

When off work, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling stayed together.

"Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo have been destroyed, and the revenge of the former Sui Dynasty has been avenged. Now there is no threat around the empire, and it is time to rest next year." Fang Xuanling said with emotion.

Who would have thought that in just eight or nine years, the empire would expand so rapidly.

Du Ruhui thought: "It's not that simple."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Have you forgotten, there is also the Western Regions." Du Ruhui said: "With His Majesty's heart, you will definitely not let those places go."

"But, we should stop for a while." Fang Xuanling hesitated.

"Your Majesty is already aware of this." Du Ruhui said: "If it were the past, Your Majesty would not consider destroying the Three Kingdoms of Silla so soon. After this success, the imperial court should not raise troops to go to war within two or three years."

"That's good." Fang Xuanling said: "Although I have sufficient food and resources, if I keep fighting and don't give me time to breathe, I will still be stretched sooner or later. If I can rest for a year or two, the situation will definitely improve a lot."

"correct."

Li Zhiyun had already considered what Fang and Du were talking about.There are too many wars, and it is inevitable that problems will arise. In the next year or two, Li Zhiyun has decided to take a rest and will not fight abroad for the time being.

Anyway, the empire is now the strongest, and it can fight whoever it wants.The only problematic one may be the Tubo side.Because in order to deal with Tubo, the soldiers must be adapted to the plateau climate. There is no rush for this, and we can only wait for the soldiers to be trained by the Fuqi Dudu Mansion.

Furthermore, if Li Zhiyun destroyed everything that could be fought so quickly, the combat effectiveness of the army would inevitably not decline after the swords and guns were put into storage.

It is still necessary to maintain a certain number of battles. On the one hand, it can give generals a chance to make meritorious service, and on the other hand, it can also ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.In addition, it is expanded, and it continues to expand.

At present, the ministers already feel that the emperor's martial arts are extremely strong. Not only did he follow the first emperor to wipe out the troubled rebels, but he also destroyed the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Goguryeo.

But Li Zhiyun didn't think so. The scale of the Weihe Workshop was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more machines were being developed. It wouldn't be long, at most [-] or [-] years, and the industry would explode.By that time, he will have to find a dumping ground for imperial goods.The surrounding Fanbang would have been a good choice, but it didn't work.

why not?
Because their position is a threat to the security of the empire, and the empire must arrest them to complete the primitive accumulation of capital, so no.

Then, Li Zhiyun can only target overseas. He wants to make the empire's external expansion a thing that the empire has to do.

After the ships are also industrialized, it will be time for the empire to set sail.That time was the real era of overseas expansion. What Li Zhiyun has to do now is to wipe out all foreign countries that may pose a threat to the empire, and then use the foreign countries to complete capital accumulation. Technology is changing day by day.

Maybe twenty years, maybe thirty years, maybe fifty years.At that time, no matter who it is, it will be impossible to stop the expansion of the empire.Because, this is the general trend.Whoever goes against the general trend will be crushed.

What Li Zhiyun has to do now is to leave a big family business for his son, and even, he has to send the empire on the road of colonization with his own hands, so that he can feel at ease.

The ninth year of Zhenguan was destined to be recorded in history.

This year, Goguryeo, which once made Emperor Sui Yang hit a wall, was conquered by the Tang Empire. This year, the empire expanded again. This year, the development of the empire reached another level.

People at the time couldn't help feeling that since Emperor Zhenguan ascended the throne, the development of the entire empire has been almost the same every year.

The rule of three generations seems not far away.

But how could they have imagined it, Li Zhiyun never thought about the rule of three generations, he thought very directly, he wanted to make the empire stronger than ever, and he wanted to expand the living space of the people of the empire unprecedentedly.

He didn't talk about these things with other people, because they would find it incomprehensible.

The people of the empire have been growing over the years, but the land of the imperial court is far from saturated, and there is no need to rush to expand.

As an emperor, Li Zhiyun naturally had a vision far beyond the present, focusing on the future hundreds of years later.
