Cultivation of chastity

After Li Tai came out of Hongfu Temple, he finally took a deep breath, at least he arranged the information network for Tubo first.

To be honest, Li Tai didn't intend to let these monks do the fine work.

On the contrary, Li Tai only needs them to be ordinary monks who work hard for peaceful exchanges between the two sides.

It would be even better if there are some outstanding ones among them who can help the Tubo people with sincerity and compassion. At least Li Tai has a very supportive attitude towards this.

The very important reason is that I need talents who can really analyze Tibetans, and even Indians.

They can integrate into the life of Tubo, analyze the nature of the Tubo people, and analyze the system of the Tubo people.

In this way, in the future, if there is a real fight, we will be able to target the Tubo people more. If there is a war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in the future, then I will have more confidence.

This method is actually learned from the British Empire.

As the first global hegemon in history, the British Empire generally sponsored truly conscientious scholars in the country to study in a certain country in advance before invading.

During this process, the British Empire will not have any political interference with scholars, and even many dignitaries will generously donate funds.

But after this scholar has done a comprehensive and detailed investigation in the local area and compiled it into a book, this book will become an important reference material for the local regime and people in the British Empire, and even a local encyclopedia.

Then it began to colonize this country from top to bottom, completely turning it into a place of material production or product dumping for the British Empire.

A scholar with a conscience will often give up his high-paying job to do charity in that country because he really cares about the suffering of the invaded country.

But his help will be used as an example by the British Empire and become a symbol of the friendly relationship between the British Empire and the colonies.

It can only be said that science has no national boundaries, but scientists have national boundaries.

When you are in a country where the war machine is constantly activated for the purpose of direct colonization, all the good deeds of even a few people with high conscience in this country will contribute to their own country’s invasion of other countries.

After all, in many cases, the will of an individual cannot reverse the general trend of the entire force.

And Li Tai probably followed the same pattern.

I didn't want to use monks as spies, because spies, as long as you do it and you are suspected, it is not difficult for the state machine to find out.

After all, if you were sneaking around in the military camp, no one would know that you had bad intentions!
But it only requires you to do your own job wholeheartedly, at most you can write a diary, which will be endorsed by the Tang Dynasty, even Tubo would not dare to easily conflict with these monks.

After all, Tubo did not dare to offend Datang easily.

There is no way, this is the bonus of the war that Wang Xuance fought in Dafeichuan.

This war dividend is not only the war compensation at the beginning, but also the regional peace in the next ten years, and more importantly, the hearts of the two sides have become completely different with the victory of the war.

Especially for weak and small countries, it is very likely that they will have the qualifications to gain a foothold in a world full of strong people because of winning a war that cannot be retreated. This is what many weak and small countries dream of.

And because of the war between Wang Xuance and Tubo, this made Tubo have to be more cautious when facing the Tang people.

Even they knew that Wang Xuance would not attack them for no reason, but just in case, not everyone was like a certain gambler who always put their own national fortune on gambling.

After all, nine out of ten bets lose, as long as you lose once, you will lose everything.

"Tubo, Western Turk, let's arrange it like this first!" Li Tai couldn't help but took a deep breath, but he didn't have much entanglement.

Because Li Tai feels that such an arrangement is enough. After all, as long as Datang does not solve Goguryeo, the strategic center of gravity will not shift to the west.

In the immediate situation, Goguryeo was the first to be resolved.

Li Tai went to see Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, as well as Li Chengqian.

Originally, Li Tai wanted to ask Li Xiang or Li Jue if he wanted to bring it to him, but when he thought about Li Shimin, Li Tai didn't say anything more, and directly handed over to Li Shimin his proposal for the establishment of a military academy. Give the memorial to Li Shimin.

After visiting the imperial palace, Li Tai took Tian Changgeng and his troops to Luoyang, and began to clean up the students from agricultural schools who violated laws and regulations on the Grand Canal, making final preparations for the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo.

Not long after Li Tai left, Li Shimin also asked Li Junxian to escort Li Chengqian to Sasan with Xuanjia soldiers.

But Li Shimin let the two children Li Xiang and Li Jue stay, and Li Shimin himself came to the Duke of Wei.

"I don't know the sage's visit, so I'm far away from welcoming you, so please forgive me! Cough, cough, cough!" Li Jing coughed uncontrollably at this point.

"Okay, okay!" Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and waved his hand.

"You look like this, why don't you let me pick me up at the door.

Let's go to the house, but I have a question in my mind, and I need you to solve it! "

Li Shimin came to Weiguo Duke's Mansion as if he came to his own home, but he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all.

Li Jing looked at Li Shimin's posture and quickly welcomed Li Shimin inside, his face even turned a little rosy.

If it wasn't for the fact that Li Jing was really ill this time, I'm afraid he could perform directly in front of Li Shimin and recover.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing, and he had to say that this military god, who is sure to conquer, has now become a gray-haired old man.

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry for the loss of time, looked at Li Jing and said:
"Pharmacist, I came to see you today but I have two things to discuss with you."

"Also ask the saint to be rich, Jing Ding will try his best to complete it! Cough cough cough cough!" Li Jing finished speaking in one breath, and couldn't help coughing again.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Liaodong with me this time!" Li Shimin looked at Li Jing with admiration, and then said slowly,

"Just tell me, how much do you think our Tang Dynasty has to win this time against Goguryeo!"

"If the war lasts for one year, my Tang Dynasty has six chances of winning. If it lasts for two years, Goguryeo will definitely be destroyed!"

Li Jing said decisively at this moment, "This is a famous general like King Wei, who has painstakingly planned for 14 years.

If Goguryeo cannot be defeated in the two-year war, then it would be too contemptuous of King Wei's arrangement since the establishment of the Agricultural Academy! "

As Datang's biggest military blower, Li Jing has never been stingy in complimenting Li Tai's military strategic deployment, especially in terms of strategy, Li Jing has always been quite optimistic about Li Tai.

It's just that when it comes to specific tactics, Li Jing clearly knows that Li Tai is not very sensitive to war command, and he has no other talents if he is cautious in combat.

But even so, Li Jing still felt that Li Tai was the kind of person who could make gestures when he met him.

The main reason is that Li Tai has two major advantages. One is that Li Tai can always have a lot of resources, even on the battlefield, he can inexplicably produce a lot of resources according to local conditions.

For example, when Murong Fuyun was killed by Li Tai, Li Tai almost used his resources to the extreme.

The second biggest advantage is that Li Tai will find ways to keep the morale of the team at a very high level.

At the same time, if the soldiers under Li Tai's command were college soldiers, they would really be willing to die for Li Tai.

Even if a really fierce general rushes to the battle, Li Tai's personal guards may explode for Li Tai.

Therefore, Li Jing understood that Li Tai's tactical command was indeed average, but it was really not easy to kill Li Tai on the battlefield.

On the contrary, Li Tai himself is very self-aware, so every time he fights with the opponent, he will try his best to bully the weak.

Moreover, the talent of the army led by Li Tai is weapon mastery. Normally speaking, if this talent is used for war, it will rely on weapons to fight, which is a little higher than the level of soldiers. After all, is it true that every soldier is still a magic weapon The sharp weapon will not work.

This kind of troops that can only exert 100% of the combat power of weapons can only be a training talent for all the generals in the Central Plains.

But Li Tai's weapon mastery is not weapons, but the engineering shovel that Li Tai made.

After arriving at the location, they immediately dig ditches and set up traps. Even if they simply set up camp, they can't wait to build a fortress and form a more systematic war.

To a certain extent, the battle between ordinary armies is two-dimensional, but it is three-dimensional when fighting against Wei Wang's troops!

Therefore, the more Li Jing studied Li Tai's warfare methods, the more he felt that King Wei was worthy of being Li Shimin's son, who was born with a talent for military warfare. The only pity was that Li Tai, as King Wei, had no chance to gain experience.

If Li Tai was his own son, Li Jing felt that he would throw Li Tai to some theoretical battlefields where he could die for a few times, and then throw him on a battlefield where he would die for a sublimation war...

At that time, it will not be said whether Li Tai can grow up to be on par with him, but at least when he is defending the city, even if he sees Li Tai, he will feel a headache.

As for Li Tai, who started operating more than ten years ago, and has been operating until now... How does Li Jing think that Goguryeo is dead.

No matter what kind of kingdom it is, it cannot withstand the targeting of an empire, let alone the targeted operation of a famous general who is not inferior to him for more than ten years in Li Jing's view.

If this war that must be won is still defeated, then General Datang should wipe his neck.

"With your words, I feel relieved a lot!" Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Li Jing's words.

As the time for the crusade against Goguryeo approached, even if he was as strong as Li Shimin, he felt a little nervous unconsciously.

After all, Li Shimin watched with his own eyes the prosperous Sui Dynasty, which fell three times under the city of Goguryeo, and then the entire Sui Dynasty disappeared.

Even though Datang had already kicked the Eastern Turks, punched Tuyuhun, and smashed Tubo with the head, when facing Goguryeo, even Li Shimin felt a little nervous in his heart, fearing that the same mistakes would happen again.

Therefore, although the Great Tang has gradually acquired the grandeur of a unified dynasty, as long as Goguryeo can't pass, then the Great Tang will never become a real empire, at most it will be an enhanced version of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"There is a sage, even if the details of King Wei's plan are somewhat incomplete, I believe the sage will complete it!" Li Jing looked at Li Shimin and said, "After all, the opponent this time is Goguryeo!"

"Yes, it's Goguryeo!"

Li Shimin nodded. Only Li Shimin, who came from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, knew what the three words Goguryeo meant to him—an opponent who could not be overemphasized no matter how much he valued!

Li Shimin recovered his senses and looked at Li Jingdao, "As for the second point, I plan to build a school, and I need a teacher who can teach students military and law. Are you interested?"

"I dare not!" Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Jing quickly saluted Li Shimin, coughing and coughing anxiously.

"... Sit down for me!" Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this order, Li Jing glanced at Li Shimin, and continued, "I dare not!"

"Enough!" Li Shimin looked at Li Jing's appearance, and said in a deep voice, "Hou Junji is dead, you plan to send all your military knowledge to the coffin, but the Tang Dynasty needs officers to accept the principles of military and law. educate!"

Li Jing looked at Li Shimin with a bit of disbelief in his eyes, and even Li Jing wanted to ask, saint, do you know what you are talking about? !
Li Shimin looked at Li Jing's surprised look, and said to Li Jing, "Qing Que is right about one thing, at least let the centurion come over to study, and clearly know that they go to battle to kill the enemy not just for food, but for To be loyal to me, to protect Datang, and to fight in the army is the value of this military academy."

When Li Jing heard Li Shimin's words, he thought for a while, but he no longer said that the minister dared not, but said cautiously:
"The sage ordered, Jing Dingran will do his best to fulfill his mission!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing's appearance, knew that Li Jing was a slippery man, and understood the political risks of this matter, at least he would not hang himself, so he agreed.

Regarding the construction of the military academy, Li Tai took the initiative to hand in a copy of the regulations.

Among them, the point that Li Shimin attaches the most importance to is that all positions above the centurion in the army, unless there are special circumstances in wartime, must study in a military academy. Appoint and remove.

In short, this military academy is not just a simple military academy, but more importantly, it has become a sharp weapon to check and balance expeditionary generals.

To Li Shimin, it doesn't matter, but Li Shimin can see that this is a very good check and balance method for the subsequent emperors who have no military achievements.

After all, although the centurion is not big, it has almost become the foundation of the army. If the later emperor can know how to appoint these people, at least he can guarantee that the military power will not fall into the hands of others.

At least in this way, it is very possible to avoid the situation of the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. At least the emperor and the expeditionary generals can re-establish trust through these tiny centurions.

So Li Shimin also felt that the framework should be built first, and then the teachers of the two courses of military and law should be prepared.

In addition, when the war in Goguryeo is over, I will be able to select a group of centurions to become the first batch of students, and try to establish this special institution for teaching military and law.
