Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 1039 Li Shiji Will Never Stand By

Chapter [-] Li Shiji will never stand by
In later generations, the Railway Corporation had more than 200 million employees alone, but now Shule College is planning to separate the steam engine according to Chen Ying's intention, and form the Anxi Chidao Corporation.

The head office has jurisdiction over Anxi Transportation Company, Anxi Road and Bridge Company, Anxi Infrastructure Company, and Anxi Independent Company.These companies employ more than 27 people. Although they are still far away from the Iron Boss of later generations, it is possible that Chen Ying is going to take down the Chidao part of the imperial court construction and become the Iron Boss of Datang.

How much interest does the railway sector have?
Presumably a sensible person knows that the key is that Datang currently assigns the functions of railway work to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. Thinking about the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Communications in later generations, this level is obviously too low .

The lower the base, the lower the power.

As the saying goes, when officials and senior officials crush people to death, it is inevitable that laymen will lead experts.

Chen Ying is very clear about the importance of a country to the transportation sector.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "I understand what you mean, just change the six to ten, wouldn't it mean adding four ministers, eight or so servants, 32 doctors, and 64 yuanwailang..."

In fact, Li Jiancheng has reduced the number of officials. When Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng streamlined the officials, there were only less than 1000 central officials left in the Tang Dynasty. Although the number of officials decreased, the national financial expenditure was correspondingly reduced. , Datang did not have a steam engine, and had not yet entered the industrial age.

With the development of science and technology, it is only a matter of time before Datang enters the industrial age.

Chen Yingdao: "The times are progressing. In the past, the emperor of Zhou set up three gongs, six officials and five officials to manage the world, and the princes replaced the emperor's herdsmen. But in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the three gongs and six officials were changed to nine officials. Now it is set up as three provinces and six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors. , more than ten times more official positions."

Li Jiancheng looked at him and sighed silently: "I will think about this matter again!"

Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Chen Ying still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Li Jiancheng is too conservative.Facts speak louder than words, and he decided to let Li Jiancheng and the civil and military officials of Datang see what the power of science and technology is.

Li Jiancheng's most critical question was Zhouhu Island. He asked, "How did you arrange for Zhouhu Island?"

Chen Yingdao: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, within a year, Goguryeo will never be able to invade the border again!"

Although Goguryeo is not considered weak militarily, after all, Northeast Asia is small and strong, and it is not blown out.

In history, Goguryeo defeated Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Li Yuan, and Li Shimin in succession. It was not until Li Zhi, the third emperor of Li Tang, that he completely surrendered.

These are all real achievements.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Li Jiancheng is not worried.

Facing the Turks, Li Tang's advantage is very obvious, and he can rely on the economic blockade to play the East Turks to death.

However, Goguryeo is different. They are not a country dominated by nomads, but farming people like the Central Plains.And like the Central Plains, it is also a multi-ethnic country.

In Volume 196 of "Zizhi Tongjian", we can see such a record: "At that time, Chen Dade, an official of the Tang Dynasty, went to Goguryeo as an envoy. Goryeo, Goryeo's wife is a wandering daughter, and Goryeo lives in a wrong place, and it is almost half dead."

Note that "everywhere, I often see Chinese people", and the number of people is "almost half", so it is said that the proportion of Han people in Koguryo is close to half of its population.

In fact, although the economic strength between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty was very different, the level of science and technology was countless levels higher than that of the Turks.At least in terms of weapons, armor and horses, Goguryeo is not much weaker.

Goguryeo and Datang are just differences in quantity, not generations.

What Chen Ying said was actually based on his trust in Li Shiji.

This character, based on Xu Maogong, a cow-nosed old man in Wagang Village during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, can be ranked among the top three in the Tang Dynasty in terms of command level, second only to Li Jing.

Goguryeo has to deal with the Tang army on Zhouhu Island, and Xie Shufang, the number one general under Li Yuanji's command. This is not a mediocrity.

In history, Xie Shufang led the Changlin Army soldiers and Feng Li to join forces, resisted the battle under Beique, and killed Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng.Li Shimin's soldiers were weakened, Yuchi Jingde passed on Li Yuanji's head to show him, and Shu Fang got off his horse and fled crying.

Jing Junhong was General Yunluo in history. According to his rank, he was a third-rank general under the command of Zuowei General Liu Hongji.The soldiers and horses under his command are six times that of Xie Bufang, the commander of the Changlin Army.

With the weak defeating the strong and being unprepared and willing to fight, Uncle Xie was able to kill Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, which shows his true ability. After being recruited by Li Shimin, he served as the governor of Hu and Guangzhou.He led [-] remnants of the Sui army, and Goguryeo had to conquer Zhouhu Island with more troops than the few.

To win Zhouhu Island, according to Chen Ying's deduction, Goguryeo must send at least 10 troops, but [-] troops will definitely attract the attention of General Anton Li Shiji.

If Li Shiji sat back and watched Goguryeo attack Zhouhu Island and wipe out Xie Shufang's troops when Goguryeo transferred the Liaodong army, Chen Ying would definitely suggest Li Jiancheng to replace Li Shiji, the general of Anton.

After understanding what Chen Ying meant, Li Jiancheng frowned even tighter.

"Border troubles are the top priority of the imperial court. No one who knows the soldiers is in Shandong, and big troubles are going to happen!"

Although Li Jiancheng didn't say it clearly, the intention of worrying about Li Shimin's invasion from Shandong is very obvious.

Chen Yingdao: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Jiancheng said lightly: "If the ruler does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, and if the ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his body."

Chen Ying nodded and said, "I understand."

Li Jiancheng said: "Before the matter is completed, once the news is leaked, I am afraid that there will be another disturbance. There are many people staring at you in the court, so be careful!"

Chen Ying said humbly: "It's always the minister's indiscretion, which makes His Majesty worry."

Li Jiancheng said: "This time, you can do things cheaply in the rescue of Hudao, the state. It is best if there is an accident. Then, I will appoint Su Dingfang as the ambassador of Shandong Dao Economic Strategy...and you are the one who is secretly in charge!"

Chen Ying understood that Li Jiancheng was going to use him as the winner against Li Shimin.

In Li Jiancheng's plan, this Shandong Road is not the later Shandong Province, but governs Huai, Wei, Bo, Xiang, Wei, Bei, Xing, Ming, Heng, Ji, Shen, Zhao, Cang, De, Ding, and Yi. , You, Ying, Mo, Ping, Gui, Tan, Ji, Ying, Yang, Chu, Chu, He, Hao, Lu, Shou, Guang, Qi, Shen, Huang, An, Shu, Mian, Run, Chang, Su , Hu, Hangzhou, Mu, She, Wu, Yue, Taiwan, Kuo, Jian, Fu, Xuan, Rao, Fu, Qian, Hong, Ji, Yuan, Chen, Jiang, Hubei, Yue, Tan, Heng, Yong, Dao , Shao, Lang, Li, Chen, Wu, Shi, Si, Nan, Qian, Fei, Yi, Qin, Bo, and Zhen totaled 81 states.

Although there are only 81 states, it can be said that the entire east of the Taihang Mountains, south of Beiping, and north of Fujian, and all the eastern coastal areas, have become Chen Ying's jurisdiction.

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this too much!"

If one-third of the territory of the Tang Dynasty was left to Chen Ying alone, the court would explode.

Even if Su Dingfang is put in the front, Su Dingfang will also become a target. There will definitely be countless eyes staring at him. If he is not careful, Su Dingfang can be impeached.

Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "You should understand Erlang's character. Once he wins, we will all die without a place to die."

Either victory, or death.

Once Li Shimin comes back, it will be like an endless battle to the death.

Chen Ying smiled confidently: "Your Majesty can beat him once, and of course he can win him a hundred times. If His Majesty intends to prepare for the war in this way, then the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Equipment, and the Armed Forces must be established."
