Capital Datang

"Two premises?" Li Ke was taken aback after hearing this, but for the time being, he couldn't think of what the two premises were in Li Yin's mouth.

Li Yin put down his chopsticks, stretched out two fingers one by one and said, "First: Traffic; Second: Population!"

After hearing this, Li Ke was a little puzzled, and immediately said: "Sixth brother, I thought you were talking about transportation and the army, but how could it be transportation and population?"

I saw Li Yin shook his head with a smile and said: "Needless to say about transportation, third brother, if you want to gain a foothold in the Mediterranean Sea, you must need strong support from the rear. Both my father and I can provide this, but it requires frequent big meals." The Suez Canal, which is controlled by people, is quite stuck by their necks, and they must find a way to prevent them from acting rashly."

"As for the second reason why it is the population and not the army, the first is because the army also comes from the people under your own rule, so you must have a certain population in your hands, third brother, and the Han people must account for a considerable number of them. The second reason is that although the army can help you lay down a large piece of land, if you want to completely control this land, you need a large number of Han people to stabilize the rule, so the importance of the population is far more important than the army." Li Min finally Said slowly.Capital Datang 666

Li Ke nodded seriously after listening, and at the same time admired Li Yin even more.Although he served as the governor of the Tang Dynasty and governed the people of a state, he has no experience in establishing a country on his own, so he is not very mature in some aspects. What Li Yin said today has a great impact on him Help and inspire.

"Liulang, I've written down what you said, but I can't solve these two prerequisites alone. I don't know if you have any good solutions?" Li Ke humbly asked for advice.

"Hmm." Li Yin thought for a moment.Immediately showed a smile and said, "As for the population, I can issue an announcement in Daqi, as long as the conditions of your bid are high enough, third brother. It should be able to attract a group of people, but I can't guarantee the number, but at least You can gather tens of thousands of people. In addition, with your influence, third brother, you should be able to gather a group of followers in Datang. In addition, there is also father, as a father, you have to support a group of you, third brother. Manpower, I heard that the population of the Hu people in the northern grasslands has grown rapidly in the past two years. Those are all natural cavalry!"

After Li Ke listened to Li Yin's words, he showed a embarrassed expression and said: "Liu Lang, I will not refuse you to give me a manpower, but how can I speak to my father?"

"Third brother, you really have to go see the father once, because apart from this matter, you also need the father to come forward if you want to prevent the big cannibals from getting stuck in your neck. Seventh and eighth brothers and I will help Just do it!" Li Minmin said helplessly.He knew that Li Ke had a thin skin.I'm sorry to talk to Li Shimin, but if we want to solve the two prerequisites of population and transportation, Li Ke must talk to Li Shimin in person.

"Oh? It seems that Liulang, you have a way to let the big cannibal let go of the Suez Canal obediently, so that the supply fleet supporting me can be unimpeded?" Li Ke said with his eyes brightened after hearing this.

Population is a big problem though.After all, whether it is Datang or Daqi, although they have been encouraging births, population growth is not a matter of a day or two.Therefore, they are in a state of shortage for the time being, so Li Ke didn't expect how many people he could gather to follow.At worst, if the number of Han people is not enough, they will be filled with barbarians from the grassland or even the Sanhan people under Li Yin.But for the fact that the big cannibal might get stuck in his neck.However, Li Ke was quite at a loss. He thought of many ways along the way and felt that it would not work, so he pinned all his hopes on Li Yin. Now it seems that Li Yin did not disappoint himself.

After hearing this, Li Yin analyzed solemnly: "Actually, it is not troublesome to solve this matter. It is nothing more than "coercion" by taking advantage of the situation. The rise of big cannibals is too fast, and the domestic ethnic groups Mixed, this makes their country lack a kind of cohesion, but because Dashi has always won battles, it gives people a feeling of invincibility, which not only gives them the upper hand in foreign wars, but also makes domestic The foreign race dare not have a different heart."

When he said this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Li Yin's face, and he continued: "But Dashi has met us now, and Father's Tang Dynasty was almost invincible in the battles on land. , and in the last confrontation, Dashi also saw very clearly that if they really fought Datang, their chances of winning were very small, not to mention my navy, which could directly threaten the Dashi Peninsula. If they really fight, they will inevitably suffer a major defeat. In this way, they will break the myth of their invincibility, and this is undoubtedly fatal to the current Dashi, so Dashi absolutely dare not fight in this place. Time to fight us!"

Hearing what Li Yin said, Li Ke also jumped up and said, "It turns out that the weakness of Dashi is that he dare not fight. He is worried that if he loses the battle, the confidence that the people in the country have built so hard will collapse, and they will be treated at that time." The rule of China will have a fatal impact. Then we only need to make an offensive posture, as long as the food is frightened, then we will make the conditions, and it is no problem to open a small Suez Canal! "

"Haha, it's still the third brother who reacted quickly. The matter of "coercing" Dashi still requires the father to come forward. After all, he can not only represent Datang, but also represent my Daqi and the seventh brother's Tianzhu. As long as the three parties unite If you take action, you will not be afraid of being overwhelmed, and maybe you can win even greater benefits!" Li Yin laughed happily.

He sometimes really admired himself, originally he just wanted to help Li Ke, but after he made such a fuss about this incident, it became that the Tang Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms jointly coerced Dashi to fight for their interests, and helping Li Ke became a subversive. I want it.

Next, Li Yin and Li Ke began to discuss how Datang and the Three Kingdoms should act so that Dashi would feel the greatest threat, and at the same time not make the other party feel that they must die, lest it really self-defeating, and Dashi would fight them to the death.If it really came to this point, even if Dashi was really wiped out, it would not be worth the loss for the Great Tang and Three Kingdoms.

Brothers Li Ke and Li Yin are both extremely intelligent people, and the coercive plan was quickly formulated.To be on the safe side, Li Yin also specially sent the plan to Wang An, Lu Hong and other senior and prudent ministers for discussion. In the end, they also felt that although there were certain risks, if the implementation went smoothly, it was still quite feasible.

After the plan was finalized, Li Ke and Li Yin stayed in Nugang for a few more days, but it was okay to stay in a place like Wazhou for a few days, but the successive earthquakes were really unbearable, especially for Li Yin who was still a very As a life-saving person, he didn't want to die in an earthquake someday, so he quickly returned to Taiwan with Qing He and other female relatives.As for Li Ke, he went to Datang by boat to meet Li Shimin and seek his help in person.

In the plan finalized by Li Yin and Li Ke, it is divided into two parts, which will be completed by Li Ke and Li Ke respectively.Li Ke had already gone to see Li Shimin, so Li Yin naturally couldn't be idle. After sending his family to Keelung, he immediately left Taiwan by boat. He first arrived in Lion City, then crossed the Straits of Malacca, and then went to Tianzhu mainland for the second time.

Because of the urgent time this time, Li Yin took steamships all the way. Now after nearly two years of development, not only steamships have begun to be popularized on various routes in Southeast Asia, but even routes to Tianzhu or Africa are far away. There are also steamships on the route, and even Li Yin's navy is already trial-producing steamships. If it can be successful, then the strength of the navy will take another leap.

It is also worth mentioning that after leaving the Straits of Malacca, pirates were rampant on the route entering Tianzhu Bay, which posed a huge threat to passing ships. Li Yin had long wanted to clean it up, but because of the Nanyang However, I have never been able to free up my hands. It was only last year that a large number of navies were finally organized to start the suppression.

After a year of hard work, the Navy has wiped out hundreds of large and small pirates here, and the routes in Tianzhu Bay have been orderly. Although there are still very few pirates who slipped through the net, they have not formed a climate.This made the maritime merchants from all over the world praise it, and it also greatly promoted the commercial exchanges here.Capital Datang 666

The steamship Li Yin took did not go to Ceylon Island, but directly anchored at Tianzhu Port, which is the closest to Zhongjing. This port was originally an unknown small port, but because it was the closest to Zhongjing, it quickly became prosperous. , has now been named Jingwei Port by Li Yun, and a large number of troops have also been deployed to prevent the enemy from attacking from the sea.

Jingwei Port has a railway leading to Zhongjing, which was just completed last year. The rails and trains are all imported from Li Yin, and it is very interesting that the train carriages are also graded. Brahmans and Kshatriyas They sit in high-class carriages, while Vaisyas can only ride in low-class carriages. As for the Daodharas at the bottom, they are not eligible to take trains.

Li Yin's envoy arrived one step earlier than him, so Li Zhen and Li Yun specially arranged a train for Li Yin to meet him.Although the current train has been improved several times, and its speed is getting faster and faster, it is at most similar to the speed of a horse. It still took three hours to travel from Jingwei Port to Zhongjing, so Li Yin slept on the train. Just arrived in Beijing.

When Li Yin got off the train, Li Zhen and Li Yun were already waiting for him at the train station. This made Li Yin very happy. He walked forward with a big smile and hugged the two brothers warmly. , and then Li Yin pulled Li Zhen and Li Yun into the carriage as if fleeing, and rushed to the palace quickly.

You can't run away. The train station is a place where people gather, and one of Tianzhu's biggest characteristics is "stinky". The train station is even more stinky. Waiting for him in that kind of place is really difficult for the two brothers. (to be continued...)
