Datang: A Technological Power

Everyone in the imperial study was slightly stunned when they heard this.

In this world, is there anyone who doesn't covet military power? In ancient times, having military power meant that you had the power to control the world. Sometimes, it was much more useful than imperial power!

With this victory, Xu Chen's reputation in the military circles of the Tang Dynasty has reached an unprecedented level. All the soldiers use his military training methods. Everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty has an invincible marshal named Xu Chen!

It can be said that at this time, Xu Chen's popularity is greater than that of Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne not long ago! But he actually chose to hand over the military power in such a matter?

This wave of operations was a bit incomprehensible to even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others who were think tanks.

""Goddess, we still need your help in the construction of the Tang army. I think many of the ideas you proposed are promising. Why do you have to resign at this time?"

Li Shimin looked at Xu Chen and consoled him kindly.

At this time, his mood was a bit complicated. Now that Xu Chen was so popular, he really wanted to suppress him. This was what an emperor had to do, but in his heart, he still believed in Xu Chen and was willing to retain his military power.

After all, with Xu Chen, the entire army was completely renewed and burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness, which made him have a little ambition in his heart.

With such an army and such a god of war who commanded the army, if he went to conquer Liaodong Goguryeo, wouldn't it be...

As an ambitious emperor, Li Shimin felt that the territory of the Tang Dynasty should be expanded!

"Your Majesty, I don't have much interest in leading troops to fight. This time, the Turkic army was approaching, and I had no choice but to force the issue. Now that I have returned with a great victory, my mission is complete. If you want to hire someone, my apprentice Xue Rengui is very good. He has learned my true teachings and is a good fighter."

Xu Chen shook his head lightly and recommended casually.

He trained Xue Rengui just to relax. How tiring is it to be a marshal? In comparison, he would rather be a free and easy prince, making inventions and infrastructure. Isn't that wonderful?

"No, Xue Rengui is good, but you are also indispensable. Now in terms of military prestige and strategic planning, you are the strongest military god in our Tang Dynasty. How can we abandon you? I am not a tyrant. I will feel relieved if you take care of the military affairs."

Li Shimin pretended to be serious, as if he would turn against Xu Chen if he did not agree at this time, which made everyone a little speechless.

This pair of live treasures is really interesting. A marshal desperately does not want to give back the military power, which is already a very abnormal thing, but the emperor actually wants to give it back. What's the matter?

This trust has made Li Jing, Li Ji and others envious and jealous to the extreme: Why don't they have such trust from your majesty?

""Oh, no, no, no. It's time to command the army. I'm busy, okay? Shouldn't I do the work of the Minister of Grain and the Minister of Clothing? Besides, there's no war going on right now, why should I join in the fun? Otherwise, you can just keep the title of military advisor for me, and leave the rest to them."

Xu Chen had no choice but to spread his hands and said.

He had a clear understanding and positioning of himself. He knew what he should and shouldn't do, and he had already put forward all the suggestions that should be put forward. If he stayed in the army, he would be just a figurehead and a salary collector. It would be enough for him to have the title of military advisor and give suggestions occasionally.

"Well... well, since you really don't want to stay in the ranks of military commanders, I won't force you. However, from today on, you will be the general of the Tang Dynasty and the chief military adviser of the entire army! Also, I will reserve your military power during special periods."

Seeing that Xu Chen was determined to do so, Li Shimin had no choice but to give up and stared at him and gave an order,

"If something unexpected happens in Chang'an City in the future, you can directly command the entire army, and all soldiers will obey your orders! You should keep the military token I gave you, I will not take it back."

He made Xu Chen his last line of defense, and everyone in the imperial study was moved.

Such trust was already a little difficult to understand!

""Okay, thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Chen thought about it, nodded and agreed.

The court of the Tang Dynasty has always been in constant struggle, from the Xuanwu Gate Incident to the later Shenlong coup, there have been many incidents. With such military power in hand, at least Xu Chen can be guaranteed to have the ability to set things right at the critical moment.

This is enough!

"Your Majesty, now that the Turks have been pacified, the wool supply needed by our Tang Dynasty should not be a problem, but shipping it back to Chang'an will probably require a lot of manpower and resources."

Fang Xuanling saw that the two had finished arguing, so he stood up and asked for permission,

"The common people of the Tang Dynasty, except for the caravans, were unwilling to work on the frozen grasslands, even if they were promised benefits.……"

Fang Xuanling stopped talking, but everyone already understood what he meant.

No one wants to let the people of the Central Plains go to the grassland to graze! There is an innate difference between nomadic peoples and farming peoples!

"Oh? If no one is willing to go, then that large grassland will be useless."

Li Shimin frowned and pondered.

Even if such a large grassland was conquered and incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, if no one is willing to settle on the grassland, it will be useless and will be taken back by nomadic people sooner or later.

"Lord Shenhou, in your opinion, how should we deal with this vast grassland?"

��When it comes to such difficult problems, asking Xu Chen is definitely the best choice. Li Shimin is almost used to it.

Xu Chen smiled slightly and analyzed:

"In fact, it is not difficult to handle this matter well. We have destroyed the 200,000-strong Turkic army, which has disarmed their armed forces. In my opinion, we should send troops to the Turks and set the grassland as a special administrative region of the Tang Dynasty!"

"At the same time, we must appoint officials from the Special Administrative Region to manage all matters in the entire grassland. Also, we should not kill all the Turkic people, but rather treat them well, assimilate them, and let them graze for us! Wool is something that is mutually beneficial. Now that the initiative is in our hands, we will naturally not suffer any loss!"

"In the future, as the Tang Dynasty becomes more and more powerful, our influence on the Turks will also become stronger and stronger. We can even open private schools in the Turks to integrate the Turks into the Tang Dynasty. Although this is a double-edged sword, as long as we use it well, we will have the best horse farm in the world and the most combat-effective cavalry unit!"_Feilu reminds you: Three things to do when reading - collection
