Wentang

Chapter 559

How to do?
For a while the scene became a little awkward.

It was a unanimous decision to land on the island of Singapore before. Now that the plan is immediately successful, it is a bit embarrassing to change your mind.

But considering the education they have received, running thousands of miles away to occupy a desolate island is indeed a bit beyond the standard.

The reason why they agreed to implement the landing plan on Xinma Island before was because the Turks were too strong and cut off the way for Datang to obtain war horses, so they had no choice but to go to the island to raise horses.

Everyone treats the Turks and the Xiongnu as equals, and treats Xieli as a Maodu.

It took the Han Dynasty five generations of emperors decades to defeat the Xiongnu, and it took three to 50 years of accumulation before the Tang Dynasty wanted to eliminate the Turks.

Even though Yue Shan patted his chest and promised that the Turks would be destroyed in three to five years, even though his plan seemed very feasible, everyone still had doubts in their hearts.

So everyone made two preparations, one was to follow Yue Shan's plan, in case it succeeded.One is to prepare for a protracted war.

In this case, there must be a reliable source of war horses, otherwise a horse administration can drag down the country's finances. Compared with raising horses on islands, it is not unacceptable.

Who knew that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, the majestic Xieli was so inexperienced that he was captured alive in only three to five years.

As a result, many plans have to be re-discussed, such as the new Falklands landing plan.

But this plan was strongly advocated by Yue Shan, and everyone didn't want to be tough with him, so the scene became a little awkward.

In the end, it was Fang Xuanling who spoke first: "Xinma Island is only a few tens of miles away from Wa Kingdom. We may cause disputes if we rush to the island."

The eyes of the others lit up, and Chen Shuda said first: "Yes, although Xieli was captured, the Turks are still my Tang's confidant, and I really can't afford to start another war."

"Yes, yes...you should be cautious at this time." Others also said one after another.

As long as there is one person on the field who does not speak, it is Changsun Wuji.He was waiting, waiting for Yue Shan's reason.

Li Shimin also fell into hesitation. Although he had seen the world map, he also wanted to be the master of the world.But his previous education and experience told him that land is more important.

Especially since this island is so close to Japan, it is too dangerous to send troops to occupy it.Once the Wa country has other ideas, it will be a war on two fronts.

Seeing that the war against the Turks was about to win the final victory, he didn't want to make troubles.

But after all, this plan was strongly advocated by Yue Shan, and he was a little hesitant, what if it was an important pawn.

So he asked, "What's Cuilan's opinion?"

Yue Shan also knew what everyone was thinking, and had already thought of a way to deal with it. After hearing the words, he replied: "There are gold, silver and copper mines on Xinma Island, especially the silver mines are huge. If they are fully developed, they can produce hundreds of thousands of gold and silver every year." through."

After speaking, he deliberately paused for a while to give everyone time to digest.

Sure enough, everyone froze for a moment, and then...

"May I ask Qingshuihou, how many years can these mines be mined?" Changsun Wuji asked first.

"It will be no problem to open it for decades. Moreover, the navy has discovered a larger silver mine on another island. It is estimated that it can be mined for hundreds of years, and it can mine millions of gold and silver every year."

"Hiss..." There was a gasp, and the room temperature seemed to be two or three degrees higher at that moment.

"Ahem... It doesn't matter whether gold or silver is gold or silver. As the suzerain country, we cannot ignore the disaster of the vassal state. I thought we should go to the island to protect the Ainu people." Li Jing, who had never spoken, said decisively.

"I second the proposal. As the suzerain, we, the Tang Dynasty, have the obligation to safeguard the safety of the vassal state." Qin Qiong also said in a rare voice.

Then a group of generals in the military jumped out to support.

Civil officials are more concerned about face, and there is really no way to break their promises and get fat, but they all look at Li Shimin expectantly.

If you said that there were silver mines on the island two years ago - there are silver mines, and silver is not a rare thing.

But it's different now. Since the new currency was issued, silver has officially become a legal currency, and its status has been infinitely elevated. Hundreds of thousands of gold and silver a year are enough for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to invade.

Even the pedantic will not stand up against it.

What's more, there is a silver mine with larger reserves next to it.With an annual output of millions of gold and silver, it can continue to be excavated for hundreds of years...

You know, before Yueshan appeared, Datang's annual income was only 400 million guan. Such a comparison shows how important these gold and silver are to Datang.

Although now, after a series of reforms in Yueshan, the annual income of the Tang Dynasty has exceeded tens of millions, but no one thinks there is too much money.What's more, the group of ministers in front of me have all lived a hard life and know that money is precious.

Li Shimin couldn't hide the joy on his face, and asked solemnly: "Is this news true?"

"Really." Yue Shan nodded affirmatively, and then said: "The Wa people are ambitious and have never been willing to be my vassals of the Tang Dynasty. In the previous dynasty, they submitted the letter of credence and claimed to be the emperor of the kingdom of the rising sun."

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they have also sent envoys several times to pretend to be the Son of Heaven, and call themselves the Kingdom of the Rising Sun. As the saying goes, there are no two masters in the country, and there are no two sons in the sky. Saints are the only sons of heaven. The emperor of the Wa Kingdom actually wants to be listed as the son of heaven. , the heart of disobedience is undoubtedly revealed."

"If I don't guard against it, it will cause disaster sooner or later, and even cause misunderstandings by other vassal states. Therefore, I, Datang must deal them the necessary blows and warn others."

"The minister seconded the proposal, the people of the Japanese country have been disobedient for a long time and must be severely punished." Chen Shuda quickly stood up and said.

"Wa people must be punished to warn other countries." Xiao Yu also said.

"The minister seconded the proposal..." The other civil servants also hurriedly said.

We agreed to land on Xinma Island not for money, but to frighten Japan.As for digging gold and silver mines, it was all incidental, incidental.

"Okay, since all the ministers agree, I will send an order to the Dizhou navy to send troops to Xinma Island. Firstly, to organize a rebellion and return Xinmadao to peace and tranquility, and secondly, to deter the Japanese nation." Li Shimin said.

"Sages are wise." All the ministers said together.

Yue Shan also shouted together.He is not surprised by this result at all. The king is the king who founded the country, and the ministers are the ministers who founded the country. Everyone is very pragmatic.I understand that nothing is as important as real money.

And it just so happens that there are gold and silver mines with good taste on Xinma Island, and it is not a problem to mine hundreds of thousands of gold a year.Coupled with other resources, it can contribute 60 million yuan of income to Datang every year.

As for beating the Wa country, it is just to give everyone a superficial reason.

Since ancient times, China has paid attention to teachers who are famous, and it is definitely not acceptable to land on Xinma Island for no reason.That's why there was sowing dissension and asking the Ainu people to write a distress letter.

With the help book, you can go to the island openly.

And now beating the disobedient Wa country has become a reason.

As the saying goes, wealth touches people's hearts, and the wealth of hundreds of thousands of guan can make the hearts of Tang monarchs and officials. Li Shimin immediately ordered Liu Rengui to send troops to occupy Xinma Island.

Having settled this matter, Yue Shan sighed.Compared with the Raiders of Xinma Island, he is more worried about another long-distance fleet.

I don't know where Sun Fucai is.

　I'm not asking for votes, but I just want to chat with you.

　　Marriage is different from falling in love. You must choose your marriage partner carefully. If you choose the wrong one, the price will be too high.

　　It is said that men are afraid of entering the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. In fact, men are also afraid of marrying the wrong wife.

　　If you marry the wrong one, you might as well not get married, really.

　　Don't ask me how I know, I will cry if I say too much.
