Wentang

Chapter 154 Advance Layout
Yue Shan encouraged Li Shimin to build a navy to build warships not for the purpose of obtaining good breeds. It was just a bait to lure Li Shimin. The real reason is that a powerful country cannot do without a strong navy.

With the navy, many of his plans could be carried out.

Ancient China did not pay much attention to the power of the ocean, and it is unlikely that Datang would create a navy for no reason.After all, the navy has invested too much, and the total revenue of the treasury for one or two years may not be able to stir up splashes.

But with good breeds as bait, Li Shimin will eliminate all interference to form a navy, even if the number of this navy may not be large, and there may be only a few warships.

But this is just an opening, and with this opening, Yueshan can find a way to expand the size of the navy.Moreover, this group of naval officers and soldiers are explorers, and their experience can provide a reference for latecomers to avoid more detours.

The three people who were chatting did not notice, but a pair of big black eyes beside them stared curiously at the globe in front of them.

The little man moved over quietly, and when they were not prepared, he stretched out his small white lotus-like arms, hugged the globe in his arms, turned and ran away, leaving only the three of them looking at each other in dismay.

After running aside, Li Lizhi wrinkled her little nose triumphantly at them.The cute little appearance made the three of them burst into laughter.

After laughing, the eldest grandson Wugou wanted to get the globe back, but Yue Shan stopped her, took out a pen and paper and quickly drew a simple world map, and continued to introduce:
"To the west of the Tang Dynasty... this is Tuyuhun, this is Baoji, Supi, and Zhangxiong... I want to focus on the three countries of Baoji, Subi, and Zhangxiong..."

"At this time, they are divided into three countries and their forces are still relatively weak. Once a hero emerges to unify the three countries, it will become a serious problem for my Tang Dynasty. It can be said that the threat to us is even greater than that of the Turks."

"As far as I know, their lord has already been born, and he will become my Tang Dynasty's confidant in at most 20 years."

"The hero?" Li Shimin frowned. As a man who wants to be the co-lord of the world, he hates these two words appearing on other people: "Do you know who he is? Can we establish the three kingdoms before he unifies the Three Kingdoms?" make him……"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Yue Shan shook his head and said, "Is it so easy to be the co-lord of the world? This is the test Haotian gave you... Every hero will be hidden by heaven's secrets and cannot be seen when he is not mature."

"I see." Upon hearing that it was a test, Li Shimin's attitude changed immediately.Since Haotian gave me the whetstone, then I will beat him openly.

"However, if everything is forewarned, it will be abandoned. Does Cuilan have a good way to teach me?"

Yue Shan nodded secretly, as expected, Tang Taizong kept his mind clear at all times, so he said: "Their strength is far inferior to my Great Tang, and the reason why they can become my confidants is due to the favorable location."

"This is a mountainous plateau. People from the Central Plains will suffer from shortness of breath and fatigue when entering, but they can freely enter and exit without being affected."

"They have the initiative on the battlefield, they can fight if they want, and they can withdraw at any time if they can't fight, but we can only passively defend and can't pursue and expand the results of the battle. What I have to do is to wipe out their geographical advantage."

"How?" Li Shimin asked.

"Choose a piece of relatively fertile land on the plateau and immigrate there. It will take a few years for these people to adapt to the environment there. At that time, we can recruit soldiers from these people to fight against them."

"When emigrating, we can also send troops there. Soldiers who can adapt to the local environment will stay and start families and have children. Those who cannot adapt to the environment will be transferred back."

"Twenty years is enough time for us to cultivate a large army. Without the geographical advantage, the hero is just a fat sheep on your chopping board, saint."

"It's a good idea, but this matter is so important that I have to discuss it with the important ministers of the court before making a decision." Li Shimin said cautiously.

Yue Shan nodded clearly.Immigration is not the same as forming a navy. It involves more aspects, and it cannot be done without the cooperation of officials.

But Yue Shan believed in Li Shimin's ability to control the court, as long as he wanted to, he would definitely be able to accomplish this.

"The southwestern direction of Zhang Zhung is Tianzhu, the birthplace of Buddhism. At this time, Tianzhu has been divided into pieces, and the most powerful is the Jieri Dynasty... Tianzhu looks like a vast land area and a large population, but in fact, the combat power is very weak... I am a Tang Dynasty. If Zhi Pianshi goes, he can easily destroy his country."

"Further to the west is the Sasanian Dynasty... This is also an ancient kingdom, which was extremely powerful for a while. They established contact with me in the Central Plains very early, and they can be regarded as our allies for the time being. Unfortunately, they are also leaving Downhill, the day of subjugation is not far away.”

"What the saint really cares about is here." Yue Shan pointed to a corner on the map and said, "This is called the Arabian Peninsula..."

"Did those Arabian horses come from here?" Li Shimin interrupted.

"Yes, those merchants are Arabs." Thinking of the horses snatched by Li Shimin, Yue Shan's heart throbbed: "Now the Arabs are still under the rule of the Sasanian Dynasty..."

"But as far as I know, there is a prophet in Arabia who founded a religion... Soon this person will become the leader of the Arabs, and then rise up against the rule of the Sasanian dynasty... The Sasanian dynasty will also die here human hand."

"...The Arab Empire is different from the Sasanian Dynasty. It is more aggressive. Once they defeat the Sasanian Dynasty, they will soon invade the east and compete with us for the Western Regions. They will become the biggest saints on the road to the Lord of the World enemy."

"He also wants to be the ruler of the world?" Li Shimin said suddenly.

Yue Shan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Shimin to ask such a question, but... this idea is really good, isn't it?

What people are most afraid of is losing their opponents, otherwise they will lose their goals and become arrogant... Too many people in history have made the same mistake, including Li Shimin's later period.

Now create an opponent for him, will he still do this?

So Yue Shan followed his words and said, "Who wouldn't want that?"

"Okay, then let me meet the ruler of the Arab Empire." Li Shimin said with high spirits, "How much time do we have for preparation?"

"At most 20 years, my Tang Dynasty and them will inevitably have their first collision in the Western Regions." Yue Shan replied.

"Another 20 years?" Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, he had already heard about the world from Yue Shan for several 20 years.

Yes, that is 20 years.Yue Shan was also surprised by this time point when he studied history in his previous life.

Twenty years later, in Li Shimin's later years, Datang fully recovered under his governance, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent take-off.

It's just a pity that Li Shimin didn't live long enough and died before the day he took off.Li Zhi was also a talented and generous emperor, but his health was not good, and he died just halfway through the flight.

Afterwards, decades of infighting followed. Empress Wu Zetian almost lost the large tracts of land laid down by the two generations of Emperor Taizong and Gaozong in order to stabilize the internal affairs.But fortunately, the vitality of Datang still exists.

When Li Longji ascended to the throne and took off again, there was a prosperous age of Kaiyuan and the coming of all nations.

Closer to home, Li Shimin spent 20 years restoring Huaxia.At this time, Songtsan Gampo also unified the countries on the western plateau and established the Tubo Kingdom.

The Arab Empire, thousands of miles away, also wiped out the Sassanid Dynasty at about the same time, and started its own path to hegemony.

The coincidence of history sometimes even makes people wonder if there is a pair of big hands behind it.Obviously, Li Shimin thought so.

He thought that all of this was arranged by Haotian, just like he arranged for Huangdi to be an opponent of Jiao Chiyou back then.

"Okay, 20 years will be 20 years. Ten years will bring together ten years of lessons. After 20 years, I will let everyone know who is the leader of the world." Li Shimin announced domineeringly.

　I believe in science, but sometimes I have to believe in metaphysics.

　　Here we have a pregnant woman who fell and gave birth prematurely. The twins are all critically ill. One of them was given a death notice to stop the rescue, and then tried his best to rescue the other.

　　As a result, the child who received the death notice two days later was still alive, and the child who was rescued with all his strength did not get any better.

　　The family asked the hospital to rescue the two children together.As a result, the two children improved at the same time the next day, and were out of danger at the same time a week later.

　　Sometimes metaphysics has to be believed.

　　By the way, it was so deserted after it was put on the shelves, there wasn't even a book review or chapter review.
