Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 657: King?no problem!

Luoyang is located in the core of the Central Plains. It controls Turks in the west, Qilu in the east, Liaodong in the north, and Huaiyang in the south. It has convenient transportation and developed waterways. Generally speaking, it is "controlling three rivers and securing four fortresses", which has unique geographical advantages. .

In particular, there is a comprehensive port like Mengjin Port. Not only business travelers can use it to obtain convenient water transportation, but it is also located in Mengjin Military Port, the largest port of the Tang Army in the Central Plains.Although it is not as good as the naval port in Hangzhou Bay where large ships can be built, simple repairs are still no problem.

Every time the Hangzhou navy transports materials to Guanzhong, they will rest here for a period of time. First, let the soldiers relax and enjoy the world of flowers and flowers. No one can stand it after drifting on the sea for a long time. Second, repair the ship. Supplementary supplies.

At this moment, in Mengjin Military Port, you can see all kinds of neatly stacked materials, craftsmen and soldiers running around.The Hangzhou and Dengzhou naval forces have all gathered here, which suddenly made the originally empty military port look very crowded.Because the Dengzhou Navy has just been equipped with a new type of warship and some supply ships need to be converted into warships, the craftsmen of the Hangzhou Navy and Luoyang are intensively helping with training and modification.

After turning around, Li Chengqian entered the tent of the Chinese army with all the generals. The weather was so hot that no one could bear not to come in for a sip of herbal tea, especially the soldiers and craftsmen who were working.So before coming in, Li Chengqian specially ordered that from today onwards, there will be enough herbal tea and meals in the military port, so that you can eat as you like, don't wait until the battle is over, everyone will be exhausted.

After taking a sip of the herbal tea, Li Chengqian let out a sigh regardless of his image. It's comfortable. Like the emperor, what he can't stand the most is the hot weather. So every summer, the father and son would drink the herbal tea while cursing the damn weather.

Sitting on the left below are Li Jinghuan, Li Chongyi, and Liu Rengui, and on the right are the three directors of the Dengzhou Navy newly appointed by the emperor, Sun Erlang, Li Jijun, and Zhang Honghui. Li Chengqian had never met the two newcomers below, so needless to say, they were talents in his father's sleeve. From the short-term contact, they were quite smart, at least they would not pretend to understand.

"Everyone, when you are coming, your Majesty will ask Gu to tell you that the battle must not only be fought well, but also skillfully. The soldiers are all raised by their fathers and mothers and handed over to the court. They should not be left in vain because of the mistakes in the command of the generals." Your life is at stake, so you must be cautious when using soldiers.

You are all young generals, and you are the future hope of my Tang Army. Your Majesty deliberately did not send veterans out, because he has the idea of ​​cultivating you.Gu can clearly tell you that if there are any changes in Liaodong in the future, your Majesty will first use you generals who are familiar with the terrain and the landscape.How many colleagues should be envied to open up the frontiers and expand the land, record the merits of the stones, and record them in the annals of history! "

"Returning the bones and rescuing the captives is a matter of accumulating virtue. Your Majesty said that as long as the battle is fought well, no matter whether it is a general or a soldier, the official position, title, and wealth are not a problem. As for promotion and promotion, as long as it is what the soldiers want, everything will be satisfied."

Of course, there was a reason for the emperor to place such a heavy burden. Although the scale of this battle was not large, and it could not be fought under the banner of the Tang army in an open manner, it was indeed a political battle in a practical sense.

In a national sense, the Sui system of the Tang Dynasty was, to put it bluntly, to be the successor of the Sui Dynasty, so the shame of the Sui Dynasty was the shame of the Tang Dynasty. It's the Sui Dynasty, but the whole of China.So no matter how impressive the Tang Dynasty was in the foreign wars, as long as this national humiliation is not washed away, all talk of a prosperous age is false.

From the perspective of personal interests, what the emperor has to do now is not only to go to Yang Guang and win the battle that Yang Guang cannot win, but also to surpass Yang Jian and become an emperor through the ages.Recently, many courtiers asked him to enshrine Zen, but the emperor rejected the courtiers' request because of the shame that Goguryeo brought to China.In private, when the father and son were chatting, the emperor said that it wasn't that he didn't want to go, but that he would leave whenever the entire Liaodong Peninsula was wiped out and the regrets in his heart were settled.

One emperor through the ages, how attractive it is, who is not tempted by the emperor, so before this skirmish battle started, he promised such a heavy reward to encourage the morale of the three armies.

"Your Highness, according to what you said, the minister and Chongzhen are going to be the king of the county." Li Jinghuan said carelessly, and he and Li Chongyi dared to say and think about these words.Ever since Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty made the oath of the White Horse Alliance and laid down the iron law that people of the opposite sex should not be kings, all courtiers who wanted to live in peace did not dare to think about it.

Of course, Li Jinghuan didn't say this for his own sake. King Jiangxia only has his son left, and sooner or later this title will belong to him.But Li Chongyi was different. There were three legitimate sons in his family. After he took over the title, the two younger brothers could only be crowned Duke of the state.

But if he was promoted from heir king to county king with military merits, wouldn't that give Li Hui a high starting point!The three sons of their family are different from Li Chengqian and Li Tai, that's the real brotherhood, humility in everything, so Li Chengqian doesn't think this is a reckless or ambitious performance.

"You dare to say anything, even Gu doesn't know what to say about you. However, you are right. As long as you have accumulated enough military merits and meet the imperial court's requirements for the clan to be promoted, then there is no problem. Of course, Gu Let’s put it here today, if there is a large-scale war, no matter which clan descendant captures Pyongyang City, he will be alone with His Majesty to protect him as a prince, how about it?"

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Liu Rengui and others in the big tent gasped, hiss!The prince is so courageous, with such a heavy reward, the generals of the clan rushed to the front of the formation to fight, so as to get the main attack task in the next large-scale war.

At the same time, with these clans fighting their lives in front of the battle, the ordinary soldiers would rush up with howls, and their morale would rise from wave to wave. It would be strange if they didn't win the battle.With money and titles in one hand, and a murderous steel knife in the other, although it is an extremely simple and brutal way to lead troops, it has to be said to be extremely effective. The eyes of the two young princes were reddened without seeing it!

Of course, everyone also understands in their hearts that King Zhaojun and King Jiangxia have fought for a lifetime, but they didn't win the title of prince. If the two of them can take down Pyongyang, they will be the real strong master Shengzu. Who cares about it? Can you not be excited.

Just when they cast envious glances at Li Jinghuan and his brothers, Li Chengqian pulled their heads back again, and only heard him say in a solemn voice: "Everyone, don't envy them. There are, and you will also have them. Ugly words are left alone, if the task is successfully completed, everyone will be rewarded, and the battle will be defeated, and you will know what the result will be.".
