This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 829 Volume Li Chengqian's Counterattack
When Fang Xuanling was ambitious and wanted to achieve something.

At Yalong River, Li Chengqian was in high spirits.

It was nothing else but today, he received the good news from the Khitan Monk.

The entire territory of Northern India has been conquered.

Although the Ming Dynasty's war in India was going quite smoothly before, Yang Dalang took over Central India first, and Western India surrendered soon after.

But there are reasons for all this, especially the destruction of Central India, which was mainly due to the dissatisfaction of various Indian tribes with Central India.

If it wasn't for a coincidence, Yang Dalang would have wanted to take over Central India by borrowing troops from Nepal. Haha, it would have been a problem for him to even cross the border.

As for the surrender of Western India.

Haha, that goes without saying. The reason why King Padmasambhava of Western India chose to surrender early was not only because he saw no hope of winning, but more importantly because he saw the benefits of submitting to the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, the destruction of Northern India is the first country that the Ming Dynasty has truly conquered in its southern expedition.

When Li Chengqian was feeling very proud, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, when there was no news of victory, although he had absolute confidence in the Ming army, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried.

"Pass on this king's oral order to reward Qibi Shamen, Zhao Yan, Mangpo Jiesunpo..."

He was still satisfied with the guys like Khibi Shaman, even though they had just massacred an entire city. But for him, that was no big deal.

After traveling back to the Tang Dynasty for so many years, Li Chengqian is no longer the cautious and silly boy he used to be.

Having ruled the Ming Dynasty for such a long time, although he did not have the aura of a king or a tyrant, he did have some qualities that would make him an emperor.

After talking about the things on the front line, Li Chengqian turned around and looked at the newspaper on the table.

The smile on his face grew even wider.

The current Ming Dynasty was developing towards a better place, and he could not find anything he was dissatisfied with.

However, when he saw a letter in the newspaper, Li Chengqian finally sighed. The letter was naturally from Changle.

This silly child has been feeling a little depressed recently because he learned that the Khiti Samanas massacred hundreds of thousands of people in Kushinagar.

In the letter to Li Chengqian, he asked this question in a daze.

Brother, do we really need so many cities?
When seeing this sentence, Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer the little girl.

Although the little girl has grown a lot over the years, she is still a child after all.

How normal is it to have compassion?
Eunuch Yuan, who was standing by, saw Li Chengqian's expression and immediately asked, "Your Highness, are you worried about the Princess?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked back at him again, but did not say anything. He just thought to himself, this is all bullshit. He has traveled back to the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and although he has married a wife, it was a political marriage that he had no choice but to do. Based on the sense of responsibility of a person in later generations, although he has never blamed them, the feelings between them are ultimately flawed.

Perhaps because what he got was too easy, Li Chengqian did not fluctuate much emotionally.

Only Changle can truly fill the gap in his lack of family affection in this strange era.

In fact, he only felt the presence of family affection from Changle.

Of course, there is a reason for this.

For Changle, she followed Li Chengqian to the northwest at a very young age. In her cognition, Li Chengqian is her biological elder brother, so naturally, her emotions are much more sincere.

"After all, Her Highness Changle is still young and cannot understand it yet." Seeing that Li Chengqian did not speak, Eunuch Yuan continued, "Your Highness does not have to worry. Over time, Her Highness the Princess will naturally understand.

Some things are your Highness's responsibility.

When the Huns were wreaking havoc in the past, it was thanks to the efforts of many wise men and generations that the border was able to remain stable for a few years.

Today, Your Highness has done these things, and future generations will live a more comfortable life."

After he finished speaking, Li Chengqian looked at this guy in surprise.

He had always thought that people like Eunuch Yuan were only good at flattery, but he had not expected that Eunuch Yuan actually had such insights. While he was pondering Eunuch Yuan's words, he suddenly thought of something, so he sat back and began to write back to Changle.

Of course, asking about the well-being of the couple was indispensable, but after asking about the well-being of the couple, Li Chengqian suddenly changed his tone and wrote:

I am afraid that others may find it difficult to understand how difficult it was for our Ming Dynasty to be founded. Today, our Ming Dynasty is strong and naturally keeps the enemy out of the country. However, how many people around our Ming Dynasty are not eyeing our Ming Dynasty covetously?

Their current civilization is nothing more than a fear of the might of our Great Ming. However, even so, they are still trying to break through the bottom line of our Great Ming.

At the beginning, the reason why Central India robbed our Ming Dynasty delegation, and was it really for such a small amount of money and goods, was just a test.

Today's Ming Dynasty is like a lump of gold, but the people holding this lump of gold are just a group of giants.

But one day, after these giants of the Ming Dynasty have withdrawn from the stage of history, who will be able to guard this piece of gold?
Changle should know that every year, hundreds of thousands of foreign businessmen travel between Ming Dynasty and other countries, but are they really here just to do business?
Even if they came here just to do business, they would certainly mention the wealth of the Ming Dynasty when they returned to their country.

Nowadays, no one shows their fangs to the Ming Dynasty, but only because the Ming Dynasty is so strong.

But once the Ming Dynasty showed signs of decline, their civilization would instantly be replaced by barbarism.

Therefore, some battles must be fought while our Ming Dynasty is still strong.

Only if our generation fights all the wars, future generations will fight fewer wars.

At the end of writing, Li Chengqian didn't know what he was writing. He just wrote whatever came to his mind and he was completely confused.

For a moment, he suddenly understood why some people said that Emperor Wu of Han was warmongering.

Sometimes, some battles don't have to be fought.

But if I don’t solve some problems for future generations while our country is strong, am I going to wait until our country declines and let our future generations be bullied by others?
He suddenly thought of the Song Dynasty.

When the Song Dynasty was first founded, it went north several times in an attempt to conquer the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

If they had really succeeded, how could there be any tribute every year?
After writing several thousand words, Li Chengqian finally put down his pen, packed the letter, and said to Eunuch Yuan, "Send someone to send it back. I hope the little guy can understand."

Eunuch Yuan took the letter and, not daring to delay for even a moment, turned around and went out to make the arrangements.

As soon as he left, a eunuch hurried in and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from Minister Changsun of Chang'an."

After taking it and taking a quick look at it, Li Chengqian's brows furrowed even deeper.

What does Li Er mean by this?
Li Chengqian was thinking in his heart, expel my Changming army?
But my Changming Army has the status of one of the six commanders of the Eastern Palace, how could Li Er not think of it?
With this status, even if it was useless on weekdays, Li Er couldn't find a better way to stay in Chang'an. After all, he was the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace, so how big a deal was it to stay in the Eastern Palace?
Isn't this what people deserve?

As for sending the Changming Army to Chang'an, Li Chengqian did intend to make them a nail in the coffin.

In today's Ming Dynasty, it doesn't really matter if there is one more Changming Army or one less Changming Army.

On the contrary, allowing the Changming Army to stay in Chang'an can give countless people reassurance.

The most important thing is that the Changming Army’s stay in Chang’an will involve countless topics.

At least, ordinary people now have more things to brag about after dinner.

A prince who lives in other people’s memories is not as good as a prince who lives in other people’s mouths.

How could Li Chengqian not understand this truth?
Just as he was wondering, Wu An also walked in quickly and said, "Your Highness, Changan..."

"I already know about it." Li Chengqian said, shaking the letter written by Chang Sun Chong himself in his hand.

Wu An had only recently arrived in Yalong River. With the great victory of the Ming Dynasty in Tianzhu, the head of the Secret Service finally arrived.

But this guy's luck is really not that good. There is a saying in later generations that describes him very aptly: he can't even eat hot shit.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on him. He was just carrying out Li Chengqian's orders before. As soon as he finished his work, he went south to personally command the Ming Dynasty's Secret Service.

When Wu An saw the letter in Li Chengqian's hand, although he didn't know the specific content, he guessed it.

"Your Highness, there are many developments in the Tang Dynasty right now. According to the information I have received, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has issued secret orders to all the princes and dukes.

Not only Chang'an, but Duke Lu who was far away in the north also received the secret decree.

Not long ago, after receiving the secret decree, Duke Lu left Guo Xiaoke behind and led the army towards Qingshui River...

In Taohe County, Duke Geng Feng Ang, who was originally preparing to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty regarding the Tang prisoners, also received an imperial edict recently. He is now the chief military commander of Longyou Road, replacing Zhang Liang's original position.

As for Chang'an, some time ago, Prince of Liang Li Yin also received the imperial edict and left.

The King of Liang should have arrived at his fiefdom now.

He was also the first and only prince to be ordained during the Zhenguan period.

......"

Wu An reported the recent situation in detail in one breath.

When Li Chengqian heard this, his brows gradually furrowed.

It’s not that Li Er’s behavior bothered him, but that he really didn’t understand the purpose of Li Er’s doing this.

"Has Duke Geng discussed the matter of prisoners with Qibi Heli and others?" Li Chengqian, who was confused, asked.

Wu An heard this and shook his head, saying, "So far, Duke Geng has not made any contact with the Ming Dynasty?"

"No official contact yet?" Li Chengqian was stunned, thinking, "Feng Ang, Feng Ang, do you really not know what you are here for?"

"Yes." Wu An said immediately, "Since Duke Geng arrived in Taohe County, what he has done most is to find out everything about our Ming Dynasty through various sources.

I was also wondering before, whether he wanted to emulate the Ming Dynasty, and when he returns to Gaozhou in the future..."

He didn't say the rest, it was not something he could say.

However, Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the case. Gaozhou is not the source of the Red River. The success of our Ming Dynasty is a miracle in itself. Even so, it is because our Ming Dynasty happened to be at the forefront of many opportunities.

But since he is not in a hurry, we naturally don't need to be too anxious either.

Sometimes, whoever holds the initiative depends on who can keep calm. "

Li Chengqian roughly guessed what Feng Ang was doing. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Send a message to Qibi Heli and tell him that we should delay the negotiation with the Tang Dynasty as much as possible. Feng Ang is sure that we dare not do anything to the Tang prisoners, so he deliberately delayed it, thinking that this way he can create trouble for the Ming Dynasty. Haha, creating trouble, he thinks he takes himself too seriously.

In addition, all prisoners no longer need to be guarded and are allowed to move freely in the city, but remember that they are not allowed to touch any weapons. In addition, a large army will be sent to patrol the city day and night.

By the way, which city are they in now?"

"General Qibi originally arranged them in Jiaohe City." Wu An said immediately.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "At the same time, tell Yang Lin that it is my wish and ask him to treat these prisoners well.

The Ming Dynasty treats prisoners kindly. As long as they abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they can be free and even do business in the Ming Dynasty.

Feng Ang still wants to leave us alone. Haha, I want to see. As long as you give me some time, I can change the surname of a soldier from your Tang Dynasty!"

Upon hearing what Li Chengqian said, Wu An knew what his prince was thinking and he started laughing.

But after a moment, Wu An asked with some concern: "Your Highness, what about Chang'an?"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian also shook his head. He wanted to keep the Changming Army in Chang'an, but the problem was that Li Er was causing trouble and he couldn't figure out what kind of demon it was.

"In this way, give Chang Sun Chong and Xue Rengui the power to act on the spot. At the same time, send a decree to Zhang Erniu to have them try to develop assembled weapons. This is the kind that cannot be seen as weapons when taken out individually, but once assembled, it can kill the enemy. I will send someone to give them some blueprints when the time comes.

Then a message was sent to Changming Logistics, saying that Changming Logistics had now grown to a considerable size and it was time to expand its operations. From now on, all prefectures, cities and counties in both the Tang and Ming dynasties would start to build a network, and Wang Dequan would be asked to cooperate with them.

As for porters, we will recruit another 30,000 people."

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Wu An took a breath.

This is a truly grand undertaking.

Of course, he was also quite excited.

If this is really the case, haha, then everything the Chang Ming Army has done in the Tang Dynasty has become a joke.

Changming Army, haha, do you really think that the Changming Army is only the Changming Army?
"As for that kid Li Yan, send someone to keep an eye on him." Li Chengqian suddenly thought of the brother he barely had any impression of, shook his head and said, "But just keep an eye on him. No matter what he wants to do, don't take any action yet, just let him do it. All we need to do is to have an idea in mind.

Hey, after all, this kid..."

Having said this, Li Chengqian stopped talking.

This matter was so serious that he didn't know what to say.

As he passed down his orders one after another, the Ming Dynasty became bustling...
