Wentang

Chapter 326

The great eunuch Zhao Meng led his servants out of the hall with a wink, leaving only Yue Shan and Li Shimin behind.

"Tell me, do you have any new ideas about killing people over there?" Li Shimin asked lightly.

Yue Shan came to the map, drew a circle around Liaodong and Bohai Sea, and said, "Sage, please take a look."

"Goguryeo?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"Not just Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Heishuimohe, Shiwei, these will be our enemies in the future." Yue Shan said: "But the distance from the Central Plains to Liaodong is inconvenient to supply, so we need a transfer station, Dezhou is Best place."

In fact, the best transit point is Youzhou, which was later the capital of the Republic, Hebei and other places.This place is relatively close to the major forces in the north, but there are natural dangers to defend without worrying about being attacked.

The Grand Canal leads directly to Youzhou and connects to the sea through the Yongding River, so both inland waterway transportation and ocean transportation can be considered.It is very convenient to transport strategic materials such as food.If the development and construction here are completed, the northern front can be pushed thousands of miles away.

In fact, whether it was Yang Guang or Li Shimin, they used Youzhou as the rear base camp for several expeditions to Goguryeo.However, it is a pity that both of them only regard Youzhou as an important military town, and have not really thought about how to develop it.

Yueshan intends to develop this place, but the time is not ripe.And compared to developing Youzhou, building a powerful navy is an imminent thing.So I can only settle for the next best thing and find a transfer station in Bohai Bay.

If you look at the map of the Bohai Sea area, you will know that this is a natural harbor.The key is that the sea route between Dezhou and Silla Baekje is only two to three hundred kilometers... If Dezhou is well established and there is a strong navy, there is no need to say much about the rest.

"Your vision is too high and your plans are too deep, sometimes even I feel frightened." Li Shimin was silent for a long time before he said bitterly.

Everyone thought that Yue Shan went to Dezhou purely for the salt government, even he thought so.But now he knows that Yanzheng is just a cover, and the real goal is the north.

Li Shimin finally understood Yue Shan's plan.

Build Dezhou well and provide resources for the next step of building Youzhou.Then use Youzhou as the rear to support the northern front. It can be said that this is a very long-term plan.

However, such a plan is bound to fail to convince the princes in the court. In their view, the Turkic people are the enemy now, and they have no time to plan such things as Goguryeo and Silla Baekje.

That's why Yueshan came up with the Yanzheng, and used 1000 million yuan of annual revenue to stop the mouths of the princes in the court and successfully completed the first step of the plan.This is called Mingxiu plank road and dark Chencang.

And this is not the first time Yue Shan has done this kind of thing, only Li Shimin himself knows that there are several similar plans.

For example, the opening of the academy was for the follow-up academic and political planning for the imperial examination system, and at the same time, it also included the aristocratic family and nobles.

Military Academy and Baiqi Division are for military reform.

The medical school is for universal medical care, rapidly increasing the population, and using the population advantage to rule more land.

There is also the Bohai Sea Division, which was originally formed to go to Dongsheng Shenzhou to find the legendary grain yield of five stones per mu.And now, it has become one of the core parts of the northern front.

This is what he knows, Li Shimin is sure that Yue Shan must have other plans that he has not told himself.

Son of the Immortal, Book of the Three Emperors... In the face of this mysterious power, he, the emperor, felt powerless.

If it was when they first met, Li Shimin would risk offending the gods to get rid of Yue Shan.But after knowing each other for so long, he already has enough understanding of Yue Shan.

Knowing that this person has no other ideas, it is better to keep it than to kill it.

But he also became more determined that Yue Shan must not be allowed to touch real power, and it is best not to let him leave Beijing unless necessary.

The plans of Dezhou and Youzhou should be presided over by another person. It is best to send a talented clan disciple to make people feel at ease.A figure immediately appeared in his mind, Li Daoyan, Duke of Jiaodong County.

His father is Li Shimin's die-hard loyal Li Shentong. He trusts Li Shimin very much and has the ability.The key is that his personality is completely different from his father's, and he wants to be calm, so he is the most suitable to preside over this work.

There is also the military academy... This cannot be taken away from him for the time being, but a clan has to be sent to supervise and restrict it.

Li Daozong, that's it.It can be said that the one in the clan that he trusts the most in terms of commanding ability, the first is the young Li Daozong, the second is Li Xiaogong, and the others are more or less flawed.

Moreover, he is only in his twenties, and he is more receptive to new ideas, so he should be able to get along with Yue Shan.

Yue Shan was talking eloquently to Li Shimin about his plans for the northern front, but he didn't know that Li Shimin had already arranged for him in just a short while.

"About this northern...front plan, please write me a detailed note." Li Shimin interrupted him.

"Okay, I'll write it when I get home, and I'll get it to you as soon as possible." Yue Shan said with unsatisfactory expression.

"Don't worry, write slowly, and it won't be too late to give it to me after the Turks are defeated." Li Shimin said.

"Alright, I'm thinking about it carefully these few days." Yue Shan said.

"This time against the Turks, what do you think we have a chance of winning?" Li Shimin suddenly asked an unexpected question.

Yue Shan was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized that Li Shimin was nervous.

Think about it too, the pressure to put 10,000+ enemies into the heart of your own country is too great.Even if preparations have been made this time, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?

If the situation gets out of control, the country is in danger of subjugation.

He is the emperor, everyone can be nervous, but he can't.If he gets nervous, it's over.All the pressure can only be buried in the bottom of my heart.

It is estimated that he is a little bit overwhelmed now, so he revealed something in front of Yue Shan.

In fact, Yue Shan himself was not 100% sure, although in the original history Li Shimin still repelled Xieli without any preparations, and gave Datang time to recuperate.

But history is different after all, at least Luo Yi didn't openly rebel at that time, and he didn't lead the way.

Now that there is Luo Yi, a person who understands the reality of the Tang Dynasty better, can he successfully scare Xieli away?
However, he did not show this worry, on the contrary, he had to show full confidence at this time.Li Shimin's pressure is already great enough, so that he will not be crushed, he must be given confidence.

"In my dream, I saw a sage making an alliance with a Turkic man killing a white horse on the banks of the Weishui River. As for what the agreement is, I don't know clearly." Yue Shan deliberately said vaguely.

"Really?" Li Shimin's pupils showed surprise.

When chatting with Yue Shan, he was already used to Naobu, and this sentence was enough for him, the newly promoted Naobu emperor.
