Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 585

Once Gao Yanshou died, no one could hinder Xue Rengui. After resting for a long time, more than a thousand people entered Xuanju City in the name of righteousness, and appointed and dismissed personnel in the name of the city lord.

He gave the dead Gao Yanshou the name of treason.After all, it is well known that he attacked the new city lord, and with the testimony of the living Goguryeo soldiers, people really believed it. After all, Chen Rui, who came here with the "imperial decree", represented the dignity of the royal family. Gao Yanshou attacked them, was it not treason or what?
Anyway, since Gao Yanshou was dead, Xue Rengui had the final say. No one would be foolish enough to fight against the new city lord. No one would be willing to get involved in this kind of palace dispute.People are realistic animals, and the Goguryeo people did it even better. They thought that instead of being loyal to the dead, it would be better to curry favor with the king's current celebrity!
In this way, in just a few days, all of Xuanju County fell into Xue Rengui's control.As for Gao Yanshou's loyalists, he and Xue Rengui were all killed in the name of accomplices.

At the same time, Luo Tong, who received the secret order, led the frontier army in Youzhou, and also regained Liaodong, Xincheng, Anshi and other border cities without bloodshed. With the tacit cooperation of the attacking and defending generals, they unceremoniously sold Goguryeo. In order to show the sanctity of the Tang army, the defending generals "committed" all kinds of weird and speechless mistakes. In just two months, Datang's army conquered the entire territory of North Koguryo with overwhelming force, pushing the border to the bank of the Yalu River in just two months. , not only regained the lost homeland of the previous dynasty, but also occupied the vast soil that originally belonged to Goguryeo.

As a soldier, Luo Tong, who performed outstandingly and used soldiers like a god, became another rising star after Qin Feng in this wonderful way.

Luo Tong couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.As an aspiring general, he really doesn't like this name that shouldn't belong to him. He thinks it's too much, and he feels guilty for taking credit for others. Congratulations, he blushed, feeling ashamed of being ashamed to see others.In the end, he even hid and didn't want to see people anymore. After Qin Feng enlightened him many times, he reluctantly ran out.Luo Tong didn't bother to claim such credit, but Qin Feng was right: Datang needed generals, heroes, and an invincible and invincible army to intimidate the world. There are only ones that ordinary people can't imagine Only by miracles can the Tang Dynasty who has not yet reached its peak be able to avoid wars, and use fame to control the entire Silk Road, and no other country dares to obstruct it.

Facing the silent and lightning-like power of Datang in Goguryeo, the foreign countries around Datang were once again shocked. Under the majesty of Datang, they all trembled. No country dared to underestimate Datang now. In the current position, the heads of foreign races who were afraid of becoming the next target of the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to Chang'an to have an audience to show their loyalty.

Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin threw the memorial in his hand on the table, and said with a sneer: "It's ridiculous, someone proposed to raise taxes to alleviate the current economic crisis, and want my Tang Dynasty to follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty?" He didn't name him, He saved face for the official who wrote the memorial, but his tone was extremely severe.

They were discussing the Tang Dynasty's economic issues. Although there has been no war recently, the treasury spends a lot of money every day. The Central Plains does not need the support of the court, but it costs a lot to revitalize the economy of Youzhou and develop the Great Jiangnan area.

In particular, the development of Dajiangnan presided over by Ma Zhou is even more astronomical. This guy is not only an expert in governing the country, but also a master who can spend money.He understands the truth that if you want to get something, you must first give it, and if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. When Jiangnan thinks of development, he must first build transportation. , beyond imagination, making Datang's reserves somewhat dwarfed by comparison.

Li Shimin discussed this issue with the officials yesterday, but there was no result at that time, so he asked the officials to go back and think about it.

As a result, in the early court, Li Shimin saw a ridiculous memorial asking him to raise taxes.

Raising taxes, which is common in all dynasties, is nothing unusual.This is especially true in the Sui Dynasty.

The national policy of the Sui Dynasty was to hide wealth in the country, and the taxation was extremely high, especially in the Yang Guang Dynasty, it became even worse.The common people are unsustainable, but the imperial court is rich.

Li Shimin knew the truth of the king, the boat, and the people's water, and learned the lesson of the Sui Dynasty. The taxes of the Tang Dynasty were far lower than those of the Sui Dynasty.

It is absolutely impossible for him to raise taxes and scrape money from the people.

"For the present plan, I have to ask Ma Zhou to suspend his big moves and let him take it step by step." Li Shimin muttered in his heart, he really didn't want to give this order, because he knew that Ma Zhou was already very economical and spent money rationally. .However, what can be done if the treasury is empty?In fact, he also thought about stopping his support for Youzhou and developing Jiangnan first, because Jiangnan's investment is large, but the return is relatively fast.However, a memorial written by Qin Feng made him give up this idea, and determined to start the economy of Youzhou first.

When Qin Feng took office, he mentioned a sentence that Li Shimin agreed with very much:

A strong country means a strong heart!

The strength of a nation, to a large extent, determines the strength of the people.

Looking at a corner of Chang'an, we can get a glimpse of this meaning.

In Chang'an, where Li Shimin sits, people with rich smiles can be seen everywhere. In their hearts, the Great Tang is the most powerful country, and as a citizen of the Great Tang, they will no longer be disturbed by troubled times.

But in Youzhou, you can't see such a scene.

Because Youzhou is a place that has suffered from wars and chaos, they are located in the border areas, and they have not felt the kindness brought to them by the Tang Dynasty at all, and their recognition of the Tang Dynasty is almost equal to zero.This memorial is not good news for Li Shimin. The court that the border people do not approve of is very dangerous, because they have no sense of family and country, and no object of loyalty. Once invaded by foreign enemies, they are likely to turn against each other. In this way, his support for Youzhou is very strong. Now that there is a slight improvement, he dare not give up halfway and start from scratch next year.

Just as he was pondering whether to decide to stop the large-scale development of the south of the Yangtze River, the servant came in hurriedly with a whisk in his hand. His face was flushed with excitement, and he was out of breath and reported loudly to Li Shimin in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news..."

When Li Shimin and Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty heard the word "good news", they were shocked at first, but then, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay:
There is no war nowadays, so where is the good news?
So, they all stared at the waiter in a daze. Could it be that this guy lost his small head and didn't even want his big head?

With a loud bang, Li Shimin slapped the dragon case hard, and said angrily, "The world was peaceful at that time? Where did the war come from, and where did the victory come from?"

The servant who was in agitation didn't notice everyone's abnormal gazes, and he yelled incoherently: "It's the chief executive, the champion general said it himself."

"Qin Feng?"

Except for a limited number of people, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in a daze. He was not in front of his chief executive in Youzhou, so why did he go to Chang'an to personally deliver the victory report?What's up with this good news?

Li Shimin, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong and other insiders were shocked.

They all thought of a possibility.

"Quickly invite the champion general to the hall." Li Shimin couldn't sit still anymore, he left the dragon chair and walked back and forth.

I can’t complain that there is no news from Chang’an. First of all, in this era, the traffic is blocked and the communication is underdeveloped. It takes more than 20 days to travel from Youzhou to Chang’an even if it is eight hundred miles away. If it is from Goguryeo, it will be even farther.Secondly, the time for Li Shimin's ascension to the throne is very close. Qin Feng wanted to use his achievements as an earth-shattering gift, so he deliberately concealed it and did not report it in time.In addition, the day of giving birth in Changle was not far away, so after he transferred Liu Rengui to Goguryeo to preside over military and political affairs, he brought Gao Jianwu's surrender letter and seal letter and ran back without stopping for a moment.

"My minister pays homage to Your Majesty!" Together with the servants, Qin Feng, who was dusty, ragged, and unkempt, saluted generously.As he approached, everyone could smell an unpleasant smell of sweat, and they couldn't help frowning.

They disliked him, but Li Shimin, the majestic Ninth Five-Year Supreme, didn't care at all. When he saw the face of the visitor, he ran down directly and helped Qin Feng up with his own hands.

"No need to be polite, Aiqing, please tell me, what is this good news, and where did the good news come from? Why don't I have any news at all?" Li Shimin said very eagerly.

"Didn't you teach me that the general is out, and the emperor's life is not acceptable?" At this time, Qin Feng deliberately defended it.

"I ordered you to say it." Li Shimin was bitter, and only this kid could do it at this time, so he ordered domineeringly.

"Look at this, and you'll know what's going on." Qin Feng handed over the cloth bag in his hand.

Li Shimin hastily reached out to snatch it away, ignoring the jade seal, but carefully reading the surrender letter and the detailed victory report.

"Hahaha..." Finally, Li Shimin, who had read the letter of surrender at a glance and ten lines, raised his head and laughed. This letter of surrender is completely different from the previous surrender. The letter of surrender means that all the land and people of the king will be merged into the surrendered country and become the subject A place directly under the jurisdiction of the country.

"Everyone, good news, great news. Qin Feng, in the past few months, not only killed Eulji Wende, but also destroyed the inner city, and captured Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu alive. Gao Jianwu Forced to surrender. Since then, the homeland of Liaodong, which has been separated for many years, will return to the embrace of my Tang Dynasty. From then on, the border between our Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo is temporarily bounded by the Liao River. will take the initiative.”

Li Shimin exhaled and raised his eyebrows, what he could not do in the previous dynasty, today he has done it.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also very happy, and they congratulated Li Shimin one after another.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, feeling that without January, the smile on his face would never disappear.

After everyone was excited, Li Shimin, who was seated again, smiled happily, but asked with some concern: "It's a servant, how many soldiers and horses have I lost in the Tang Dynasty?"

In less than half a year, Yang Guang's countless and unshakable bones were quietly wiped out. In everyone's expectations, Datang's loss should not be small.

And this is exactly what Li Shimin is eager to understand.

"Is there a loss?" Qin Feng smiled complacently, and said loudly, "If serious injuries are not counted, the loss is less than 300 people."

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

The quiet Taiji Hall suddenly became lively, and people who were closest to Qin Feng, including Qin Qiong and Li Shimin, had to express doubts about Qin Feng's words.

how can that be?

Goguryeo, which could not be conquered by millions of people, was taken by Qin Feng at a price of less than three hundred?
What about cheating ghosts?This is
