Li Shimin

Lijiazhuang!
Sitting in front of Li Xuan, Li Shimin invited solemnly.

"Xuanba, I want to conquer Dashi by myself, and I also want to visit Australia, my treasure island in Tang Dynasty, would you like to go with me?"

"No, no, no..."

Li Xuan's head shook like a rattle, and he simply refused.

Seeing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and Li Xuan's reaction was completely unexpected.

"Xuanba, that's Dashi and Australia, you've never been there, don't you want to see it for yourself?"

"I don't want to!" Li Xuan said.

"Why is this?"

Li Shimin is still a little unwilling to give up!
"There is nothing delicious on those islands, why should I go?"

Li Xuan still looked lazy, lying on the sofa without any image.

"The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Moreover, it is easy to encounter storms and big waves in the sea. If one is not careful, the ship will capsize and people will die, which is extremely dangerous.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Xuan strangely, then turned his head to look at the concrete house.

Just through their observation, there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers on that huge fleet.And in these countries of theirs, there are only hundreds of thousands of citizens and tens of thousands of soldiers in the whole country. If you offend the powerful Tang country in the east, you only need to send such a navy to slaughter them all in two days!
……

Li Xuan nodded slightly, with a hint of evil in his eyes, although those aristocratic families dared not provoke him in recent years.However, the evil deeds that those aristocratic families did in various feudal states also made Li Xuan want to lead his troops to kill them.

Li Shimin's expression moved slightly, that kid Di Renjie had never seen the world, he knew it.

Taiwei is the head of the three lords, the first rank, the head of a hundred officials, and is in charge of the country's military administration in name.

Coincidentally, this time my expedition to Dashi will take several years, and with Xuanba guarding Datang, I feel more at ease! "

Afterwards, when the fleet passed by Linyi, dozens of ships full of food were already waiting by the seaside of Linyi.

Li Xuan estimated that the 20 giant steel ships this time had at least [-] bombs.

Li Shimin opened his mouth, feeling a little helpless.

With such a life of rich clothing and fine food, why should I sit on that huge steel ship and go to suffer for several years? "

the next day.

A [-] navy requires at least [-] giant steel ships.One hundred cannons are installed on each giant steel ship.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then remembered something, and continued.

"As for the danger of the fleet in the sea, I have also understood it clearly in the past few years. This time, my fleet will definitely sail along the coastline and never go deep into the sea.

However, no official in Datang would believe that Li Chenglu had never seen the world.

Li Xuan continued: "Your Majesty, there is only one big food country left in the world, which is stronger. As for Australia, it is just a dry continent with a territory the size of the Tang Dynasty. Why is Your Majesty so concerned?"

Which one, for Li Chengqian, the prince of the supervisory country, cannot be provoked.

Up to now, although Taiwei has become a vacant post, but in name, he is in charge of the military and political affairs of the whole country, which is also scary.Especially for King Jin, who was respected by Li Xuan's status and had great prestige in the army, if Li Xuan wanted to rebel, he would surely succeed during the two years of Li Shimin's personal conquest.

As for Changsun Wuji, he is also Li Chengqian's uncle, and Sikong, Minister of Fuguo.

However, in the past few days, thousands of four-wheeled carriages of grain and grass have been transported from Chang'an to Haizhou.

"Xuanba, don't underestimate those aristocratic families. Although in the past ten years, those aristocratic families have calmed down because of your bravery. However, you still don't know how powerful those thousand-year-old aristocratic families have in the Tang Dynasty.

In particular, in order to govern the Tang Dynasty, I also sold the cities of Goguryeo, Tubo, Tuyuhun, and Baekje to those aristocratic families, and let those aristocratic families govern them.

I left Wuji, Xuanling, and Keming to assist Gao Ming, but Keming's health has improved day by day in the past few years. I am worried that Wuji and Xuanling will not be able to guard those aristocratic families. North Korea will assume the post of Great Tang Taiwei! "

"Now that the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, there are no internal and external troubles, and His Majesty is nearly fifty years old. Why bother to go to Australia after so much effort to conquer the Great Food?"

Li Xuan shivered abruptly, and looked at Li Shimin in astonishment.

Bringing the grain transport ship, the entire Datang navy, with full horsepower, headed west along the coastline.

Fang Xuanling was not only Shang Shu Zuo Pushe, but also a 66-year-old veteran. A veteran at this age, in an officialdom like the Tang Dynasty, could already be regarded as a person who could not be provoked.

However, when they faced those Tang people in their country again, their attitude couldn't help but be more respectful.

In Haizhou, there is already a fleet of [-] steel ships waiting.

After going back and forth, after a lot of etiquette, the three sat on the sofa beside them.

"What a difference!"

"Ok?"

"The old minister sees the prince!"

Each cannon is equipped with five bombs daily, so there are at least [-] cannons on the two hundred steel giant ships.

at the same time.

Li Xuan smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, at sea, all you see is the boundless sea all day long. Moreover, it is often windy and rainy, and life is very difficult. Not to mention the lack of fresh water, even the vegetables and meat that are usually eaten normally. .

……

Along the way, seeing the huge navy of the Tang Dynasty passing by, all the small barbarian countries along the coast were trembling with fright.

Regarding Li Chengqian's reaction, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji spoke modestly.

Li Shimin's edict was issued directly.

On the side, Changsun Wuji's face turned gloomy again, but he didn't speak. Obviously, he already knew the news!

Then, nodded slowly.

"Your Majesty, as King Jin of the Tang Dynasty, I will suppress all rebellions for the Tang Dynasty. Why did Your Majesty give me the position of Taiwei?"

"However, in the face of the Great Food, please lower your Majesty's strength. You know, in today's world, there is only one big country left that can pose a threat to Great Tang.

"Fang Xiang and uncle, please sit down quickly!"

Since Xuanba doesn't want to go with me, I don't force it either.

For these veterans, he has always respected them, and it is also for the sake of allowing these veterans, his father's confidantes, to respect him, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, on top of these major events.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji nodded quickly in response.

After ten years of full-scale development of Datang, Li Xuan could no longer guess how many artillery pieces and bombs Datang had amassed during these ten years.
As for whether Datang's cannons and muskets have been successfully upgraded, Li Xuan is not sure.

Moreover, I swear to lay the foundation of the Tang Dynasty forever! "

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, without His Highness's order, the two of us will definitely not disturb those evils!"

As he said that, Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, "Please Fang Xiang and uncle don't make any moves for now, I want to see how many evil obstacles want to jump out?

But the loneliness in the sea, I never want to experience again..."

"Xuan Ba ​​is also persuading me not to go on an expedition?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Today, my Tang Dynasty has a large population and sufficient food, and I no longer need those aristocratic families.Coincidentally, you can also take this opportunity to take back all those rebellious cities in one fell swoop! "

Li Chengqian's expression was also cold, "These evildoers are so eager to wait, the emperor just went out to sea, and they already started to want to jump out!"

However, it can be seen from the artillery and bombs carried by Li Shimin in this conquest of Dashi.

Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction.

Chang'an City, East Palace.

"Xuanba don't worry, I will definitely protect this kid Chenglu!"

As long as you dare to resist, there will be thousands of bombs emitting green smoke, falling over.Even if he has millions of elite troops, they will all be wiped out under the bomb!

Neither of them took the Great Food Kingdom seriously.

How can this kind of life compare with mine in Lijiazhuang.

"Furthermore, His Majesty is going not only to conquer the Great Food, but also to go to Australia. The distance is more than tens of thousands of miles? Your Majesty does not have a few years to return to Datang!
Previously, I have seen the vastness and stalwarts of the sea for delicacies such as peppers and sweet potatoes.

Not to mention that the Great Food Kingdom had just destroyed Persia and hadn't recuperated yet.Even if the current military strength and population of Dashi Kingdom doubled again, in front of Datang who possessed firearms, he could only obediently be beaten.

Afterwards, Li Shimin's eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji, Xue Rengui, Zhang Liang and other generals called into the Hall of Liangyi. After making arrangements, he took Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan, Xue Wanche and other generals to Haizhou. go.

"Xuanba, you stay in this other courtyard all day, and you may not be able to produce Zhuangzi once a year. How is this life different from being on the steel ship?"

As long as I am in Li Family Manor, I will be taken care of by wives, concubines and maidservants all day long, and there will be a few youngsters to entertain me.In addition, I can eat whatever food I want.

"So good!"

In the past ten years, the power of these aristocratic families will inevitably expand several times.

Although Cheng Lu and Di Renjie are smart, they have never seen much of the world since they were young.Coincidentally, by taking this opportunity, let these two boys see the vastness of the outside world! "

"Your Majesty can handle it yourself!" Li Xuan said calmly.

Li Shimin smiled lightly, shook his head slowly and said: "Xuan Ba ​​doesn't need to say much, the edict has been issued, and now more than [-] sons of the Tang Dynasty have begun to gather, how can I take back the edict!

The steel giant ships of the entire Tang Dynasty have already been counted again.

The number of muskets, arrow bombs, and hand-thrown bombs definitely exceeds the number of bombs.

Before, they had only heard how powerful Datang was, but this time, they finally saw how powerful Datang was.

Jin Wang Li Xuangong was granted the title of Taiwei in the Tang Dynasty; the eldest grandson Wuji was named Sikong. During the period when the prince Li Chengqian supervised the country, the two had to assist the prince with all their strength.However, since King Jin did not want to bother the government too much, he could be exempted from going to court.

"Xuanba don't worry, as long as that big food barbarian is wise, I will naturally keep his vitality!"

By the time it was between Liuqiu Island and Leizhou, the navy fleet had reached [-] ships.

The trembling hearts of these small countries calmed down when the Datang navy fleet completely passed by.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of the good time now and enjoy the prosperous Tang Dynasty that you have governed by yourself? You know, even if it is a giant steel ship, it may not be safe in the sea..."

I will go to the Royal Conquest, and I will keep Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji, Xue Rengui, Li Chongyi and other generals. You have the position of Taiwei. If those families dare to rebel, you can justifiably lead the army to suppress them .

When he was in the East Palace before, he was tossed about by those teachers!
Now, he just wants to wait, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, the old officials of his father, are slowly getting old, just like Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, who lost their strength to go to court, and then retired to serve at home. Just enjoy your old age!

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji walked into Xiande Hall with serious expressions.

"Lonely?"

Li Xuan continued: "Your Majesty will lead a hundred thousand naval forces to conquer Dashi this time, and it will definitely be smooth sailing. Please also bring Li Chenglu, Di Renjie, and Wang Xuance with you.

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Li Shimin's face.

As he spoke, Li Shimin's murderous expression gradually revealed.

"The crown prince is the king, and we are the ministers. I must never deserve such a gift from His Royal Highness the crown prince!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, some aristocratic families just don't change their nature, and I'm worried that I won't be able to find a chance!"

Live in sorrow and die in peace!
If I have no opponent in the Tang Dynasty, I am really afraid that the descendants of the Li family will be as greedy for pleasure as I am, not enterprising, and a faint king will appear, ruining the country of the Tang Dynasty! "

Every time they pass through a state, several steel giant ships will join the fleet.

Just when Li Xuan started to lose his mind again, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Xuan Ba, I will go away for at least two years this time, and those aristocratic families who have been hiding all these years will definitely jump out when they finally get this opportunity.

As soon as Li Shimin and others boarded the boat, the entire fleet headed southwest along the coastline of the Tang Dynasty.

From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the present, only Li Shimin has served as a Taiwei in the Tang Dynasty.

However, he could also understand Li Xuan's meaning, smiled lightly, and did not refuse. This gave Li Xuan peace of mind, and also gave him peace of mind.

Taking a sip of the warm tea, Fang Xuanling hurriedly reported to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness, the old minister heard the report from the servants, and half a month after His Majesty's personal conquest, those evils in Goguryeo have already started to secretly associate with each other!"

Seeing these two people coming in, Li Chengqian quickly stood up to greet them.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Gao Ming, Xuan Ce, and Yi Zhi have all grown up now, and half of the officials in the court are from poor families. Those aristocratic families can't make any waves!"

Just take this opportunity to wipe out all these evil obstacles! "

In fact, it wasn't just the dignitaries of Goguryeo's family who were rebellious, but also some people in the land of Tuyuhun and Tubo became restless.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji should not have detected these.

However, Li Chengqian was not worried at all.

These aristocratic families who have lived in the barbarian land all year round, really can't imagine how powerful Datang is now?

He also suddenly understood why his Jin Wangshu in Lijiazhuang outside Chang'an City would rather guard the small village of Lijiazhuang than go to Bingzhou fiefdom, or go to Goguryeo to establish a feudal state!
