Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 303 The Best Times
"Does Shimin look down on these soldiers?"

"Maybe on the surface I agree with it, but in my heart I still despise it."

After an unknown amount of time passed, Li Shimin still did not give an answer, but Shu An's voice sounded slowly, and the words were not rushed, as if they were just saying a fact.

Shu An couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional. Because of the military system of the Tang Dynasty, most of the soldiers participated in the training during the winter slack.

The soldiers who can keep training throughout the year are only a part. Of course, the treatment of these people will be much better, but that's all.

Moreover, the Fubing system seems to be recruiting, but in fact it is compulsory conscription, but there is no way to do it.

After years of wars, there are not many young and strong people. If it is not compulsory, it is basically impossible to recruit soldiers. Of course, the reluctance to join the army has a lot to do with the treatment of the army.

This era is not as sympathetic as the later generations. You must know that if there are credits, most of them will be taken by those officers, and the remaining small part will be soldiers and others.

Li Shimin was not a very wealthy person before, so the reward is also conceivable.

Needless to say, if they were killed in battle, it would be needless to say, if they were defeated, they would be dead or even have no bones.

But this is not fixed, so even if Li Shimin shows how much he loves the soldiers, in Shu An's eyes, it is more like a slogan, and slogans cannot be eaten as food.

After the words fell, Li Shimin's expression became more cautious, and Li Xiuning's expression on the other side also showed a trace of thought.

In fact, in addition to having a lot of equality with her own women's army, even Li Xiuning couldn't help feeling that she couldn't treat those ordinary soldiers equally.

After thinking of this, Li Xiuning couldn't help sighing silently, maybe this is the gap between himself and the teacher.

Li Shimin also didn't feel much better, his heart was very restless, as if he had something like what Yafu said.

Shu An took a sip of tea, although it was summer, but he was past that young age, and he didn't like iced drinks.

After putting down the teacup in his hand, Shu An's voice continued to sound.

"How to stabilize a world, in my opinion, soldiers are also an indispensable part."

"Anywhere in the world can be poor, but only these soldiers cannot be poor."

"The threat of alien races requires soldiers, and the stability of the whole world requires soldiers."

"If you, Li Shimin, can gain the support of the entire army, then no matter what the civil strife is, you will always be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai."

"But what if the soldiers are renounced?"

Every word of Shu An seems to be a word of inner torture for this emperor.

Shu An didn't continue with the last words, but Li Shimin must be able to understand the consequences.

In fact, there are various methods of governing. What Shu An said was the way of establishing a country by force, which is also his idea.

Shu An didn't do it on a whim, it was an accident, but sooner or later he had to tell Li Shimin what he said.

A certain great man in later generations once said that military power should not be lost, and today he is also alerting Li Shimin.

In fact, his words not only had a lot of impact on Li Shimin, but also had a lot of impact on Li Xiuning.

But seeing what his teacher said made this second elder brother speechless, there were many ripples in his beautiful eyes.

If Shu An didn't bother to say this to Li Shimin before, it's about the same now.

After all, Li Shimin has some capital in his hands. At least the money in this period will have to wait until the fifth or sixth year of Zhenguan in history.

It can be said that this step saved Li Shimin three or four years, which naturally made Shu An have greater expectations for Li Shimin.

"Isn't Yafu afraid of mobilizing troops and mobilizing troops?"

After a long time, Li Shimin's expression became a little complicated, and in fact, since ancient times, if he focused on one side, it would easily cause a lot of trouble.

However, Yafu's words really made the emperor hesitate in his heart, because it seemed that what Yafu said was not wrong.

Even Li Shimin has a lot of emotions. If the soldiers in the whole world know that he is an emperor and think of him well, then he has nothing to be afraid of.

Li Xiuning frowned slightly, as if she felt that her teacher's words were not that simple, but she didn't have much clue for a while.

Faced with Li Shimin's question, Shu An couldn't help but smile slightly. Unlike other dynasties, in his opinion, the Tang Dynasty was the most open dynasty.

Maybe it's because Li Shimin has Hu people's blood in his blood, so he has an adventurous spirit in his bones, but he won't be afraid.

"Do the people of the world know how big the world is? Where is the place outside the alien race?"

Shu An couldn't help but said out loud, he naturally knew the disadvantages of poor soldiers Qian Wu, but he had already thought of another way, that is to support war with war.

This world is really too big, Datang is just at a time, if possible, he hopes that Li Shimin can go out.

On the one hand, it will leave a broader foundation for future generations, and on the other hand, it will give Datang more foundations, which may be able to sustain the fate of the dynasty for a few more years.

The Tang Dynasty lasted less than 300 years, which is too short. What Shu An has to do now is to stimulate Li Shimin's ambition.

Li Shimin, who is above history, ruled the world with literature, accepted advice with an open mind and practiced frugality, and persuaded farmers to teach farming and mulberry so that the people could rest and live in peace and prosperity.

But this method is really too slow. Even with the help of Shu An's health preservation, Li Shimin lived 20 years longer than the previous history, but it was still not enough.

Especially at that time when the Great Tang generals were zeroed, even if there were some generals who stood out, they were just a handful.

It may be because of Li Shimin's literary rule that the excavation of many famous generals was suppressed.

All in all, Datang at that time had already missed the best opportunity.

But now is the best era, and those famous generals who followed Li Shimin in the Eastern and Northern Wars are still there.

Coupled with his discovery of some future stars, such as Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance, if they grow up, it can be said that this is the best opportunity for Datang.

Faced with Shu An's new question, Li Shimin remained silent here, because he didn't seem to have considered this question.

Logically speaking, the whole world would be the Tang Dynasty, but this was obviously wishful thinking, after all, he was still aware of the alien races around him, as well as Li Shimin in Tianzhu and other places.
