Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 1017
Li Shimin never expected the Fusang generals to understand his intentions.

Li Shimin continued to explain the general strategic direction:
"Don't worry, someone will lead the Goguryeo people to chase after Nagato, and then they will be our slaves. After controlling it, choose the right opportunity to counterattack the Goguryeo Peninsula according to the situation at the time. The specific arrangements are all up to Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War Instructions, in this battle, we will use all the best of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo in one battle."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. This is also a learning process for you. Remember to obey the command and kill the enemy bravely."

Konoe Tadari got up and stepped back three steps and knelt down on one knee, drew out the barrier knife he carried with him, cut his forehead, and smeared blood on the blade.

A silent promise, this is a ritual of General Datang.

Or success, or success.

Jinwei Zhongli withdrew, and Liu Mu asked Li Shimin: "Brother Huang, why do I feel that he doesn't understand?"

"It doesn't matter whether he understands or not. The important thing is that he obeys the command and makes up his mind to charge. He has only been able to read for less than three years. It is a miracle that he can understand. To put it bluntly, at the moment their The role is to pretend to be a soldier of Yamato and convince Goguryeo Yuan that this is enough."

"Yes." Liu Mu agreed with this statement.

After thinking about it, Liu Mu didn't feel quite right, and asked again: "Brother Huang, why did you engage in such a complicated scheme when you can push Goguryeo flat?"

"You..." Li Shimin shook his head with a helpless wry smile: "What can you say about you? When you are stupid, you are not good enough. This is a process of bringing back the hearts of all the people of the Fusang people. This opportunity is hard to find, and there will never be one in the future. Yes. Since Goguryeo is going to be destroyed, we must not let it go if we can make use of an extra share before it perishes.”

Let Li Shimin explain it like this, and Liu Mu understood.

This is Li Shimin's meritorious service to the Fusang people, and at the same time supporting several high-ranking Tang nobles of the Fusang people. If the Fusang people have no influence among the various ethnic groups in the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely be rejected in the future, and the consequence of rejection will be rebellion.

Li Shimin is confident that in 100 years, the Fusang people will be integrated into the Tang Dynasty.

The power of Sinicization is so great. After Li Shimin studied the history and the later history told by Liu Mu, Li Shimin said confidently that the Han people will inherit the Chinese civilization for thousands of years in the future. It is difficult to find pure-blooded Han people, or even none.

Where are the Xianbei people?

The current Xianbei is the answer. Li Shimin himself still has a quarter of Xianbei blood, and he is not a pure-blood Han. Li Shimin believes that there may not be many pure-blood Han people in the entire Tang Dynasty at this time.

Therefore, inheriting the Han civilization is the Han nationality. This is not Li Shimin's assumption, but a fact.

but.

What about the Goguryeo people?
Li Shimin put down his teacup and said slowly to Liu Mu: "Mu, I have a plan for brother."

"Imagination?"

"Yes, the Japanese are here..." Li Shimin stopped and rang the bell lightly. After a guard came in, Li Shimin ordered: "I want to talk about some confidential matters."

"Decree." The guard stepped back, and Li Shimin's order was very clear. The guard will arrange that no one is allowed to approach within a certain range around here, and the guard and the attendant are also ensuring a sufficient distance.

After a stick of incense, Li Shimin continued: "The reason why the Japanese have always wanted to attack the Central Plains is that they live on a small island with constant natural disasters, an island with poor resources and a small area."

"Second brother, it is precisely because of this reason that they also cultivate many virtues such as perseverance and obedience."

"That's right, so Brother Wei intends to make at least half of the Goguryeo people slaves of the Japanese people, so that the Japanese people can experience the feeling of being a master for a while, and then hand over the Indochina Peninsula to the Japanese people. According to the report of the Ministry of Finance last year, the Japanese people The rice is still very good." Li Shimin didn't mention the Fusang people, but still called them the Japanese people.

Liu Mu asked back, "What about the Tianzhu Peninsula?"

"Wonderful!" Li Shimin patted the table lightly: "The Japanese are divided into four, the best ones can live in the Central Plains, the second ones can live in the Indochinese Peninsula, and the second ones can go to fight Tianzhu by themselves, and the last part can be sent to the Central Plains. Go to Africa. Goguryeo people should be pariahs for 100 years first, and maybe give them a chance to be human again later.”

Liu Mu asked, "What about the people from Silla and Baekje?"

Li Shimin's eyes were sharper: "Baekje people are also slaves, equal to Goguryeo people. Silla people are equal to Japanese people. Only the best of them are selected to become Tang people, and the barbarians rule the barbarians. Use the excellent Tang Zhong aliens to control If people of various races and inferior classes want to rebel, these Tang people of other races will not allow it first, which will affect their actual interests."

"Second brother is brilliant, although he is somewhat cruel."

"Is it cruel? Hahaha!" Li Shimin didn't think it was cruel. The tribes of the Western Turks who kept rebelling had already had as many as 30 slaves. On the contrary, those tribes who surrendered early became masters.

The Silk Road in the Western Regions was a very profitable route for Datang.

The various ethnic groups and tribes that guarded this road of wealth for the Tang Dynasty have become rich and powerful.

Liu Mu said: "Second brother, what if the railway going north is only built to Bingzhou?"

Li Shimin tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, and after a long time he said, "This is a great idea, but we need to build a bridge over the Yellow River. This bridge is not easy."

"In the west of Shanxi in later generations, there is a bridge in Luliang area, about one mile long, 160 steps long and two feet three feet wide. This is a small bridge in later generations, but it is big enough for Tang Dynasty now. "

Li Shimin got up and looked through a record: "Li Chunxiu's double-deck Weishui Bridge has a total length of 8000 steps and used [-] civilians. It took one year and three months to repair, or give him enough materials and [-] civilians. I don't know how long it will take him to fix it."

Liu Mu said, "Ask!"

Li Shimin nodded: "Come here, pass on Li Chun from the Ministry of Industry."

The attendant took the order and immediately went to find Li Chun.

The Ministry of Industry is in the imperial city. Li Chun was studying the feasibility and design of the Fenglingdu Bridge. When he heard the Emperor Tang summoned him, he immediately changed into court clothes and followed the attendants into the Taiji Palace.

Without waiting for Li Chun to salute, Li Shimin asked: "In the Lvliang area in the west of Shanxi, Prince Concubine Liu thought it was possible to build a bridge with a total length of one mile for the passage of trains. What do you think?"

"Returning to the sage, I took a boat from Lanzhou down the Yellow River. It took a year. There are more than 40 places where bridges can be built on the Yellow River. There is indeed a stable river in the west of Shanxi. Even the auxiliary bridges on both sides are only about one mile away. However, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Housing have discussed that building a bridge there can solve the traffic problem between the east and the west of the river, but it is of no great use.”

"Continue." Even if Li Shimin heard objections, he would let the minister finish his sentence.
