Datang: You Can't Imagine the Happiness of the Prince

And there are a lot of things in your mind that others don't know, it's really mysterious."

That Wu Mei'er leaned beside Wan Kuan like a sloth bear, and Wan Kuan pinched her little face: "Okay, stop flattering, it will be dark soon, you write quickly, I say you come Write."

After Wu Mei'er heard it, she immediately.

He sat up straight, picked up the brush and looked attentively.

Wu Meier's favorite thing is to discuss national affairs and court laws with her brother-in-law.

At this time, Wu Meier felt that she was also a minister of civil and military affairs in the court, and when she was the prime minister of the court, she could also decide the fate of the world.

Wan Kuan speaks very quickly, and Wu Meier writes very fast.

Wu Meier's calligraphy is much better than Wankuan's, because Wu Meier has practiced calligraphy since she was a child, and she is talented and clever.

Wan Kuan spoke, Wu Meier wrote, and Wu Meier wrote down what Wan Kuan said.

In any case, it is necessary to build more ports along the coastline. Ocean voyages must have sufficient port support, and each port must have standardized construction.

From the supply of fresh water to the delivery of goods, the seaport construction of Dengzhou Port must be referred to.

The port in Nanyang is centered on Hong Kong Port, and the port in the north is centered on Dengzhou Port, but it has to be developed northward.

The current development outline is... open up the Nanyang route, then capture a large area of ​​land north of Liaodong, and then build a port there.

That black land now belongs to some nomadic savages who have formed tribes, but have not yet formed dynasties.

The Tang Dynasty must sweep them away with lightning speed, and then seize the land.

After that, seize the northernmost year-round non-frozen port, and then the sea ships from Dengzhou all the way north, after the anti-frozen port supplies enough resources, all the way to the east through the Bering Strait to reach the Americas.

That Wu Mei'er doesn't know, what is the immovable port, what is the Bering Strait, anyway... She feels that her brother-in-law is going to do a big thing this time.

Wan Kuan was not so anxious at first, but after he came to Lingnan, he found that the development of Lingnan was too slow.

And there are so many places like Lingnan in the world, Wan Kuan suddenly realized that if he really wants to travel all over the world, he must start preparing now.

This is a daunting task, and it is a repeated project. If I don't prepare now, I am afraid that I will not see the moment when the Tang Dynasty dominates the world in my lifetime.

Chapter 714

The construction of the port and the sailing of sea-going ships require exploration over and over again, and no one knows when it will be successful.

Therefore, Wan Kuan must prepare in advance. If you start earlier, you will get the results you want earlier.

If you want to sail to Europe by sea, you must start from Hong Kong Port, go all the way south, bypass the Strait of Malacca, and then cross the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.

After arriving in the Mediterranean, whether it is the Middle East, Europe, or Africa, it is all within easy reach.

And if you want to discover America, you have to go all the way north and start at the port of Vladivostok.

Sufficient resources are supplied there, and then all the way to the northeast, to the vicinity of the Arctic Circle, and then across the Bering Strait to Alaska.

This route is almost the most certain and the shortest route to discover America.

The Europeans discovered the Americas, which started from the west coast of Europe and crossed the Atlantic Ocean.

But the Tang Dynasty definitely couldn't sail like this, if it sailed like this, it would be turned upside down.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty must go east, and the White Collar Strait can be said to be the shortest strait.

If the Bering Strait is still frozen in winter, it is possible to cross this sea area without a boat and stepping on the ice.

After arriving in Alaska, it means that you have reached the Americas, and then you can reach the fertile land all the way south.

Wan Kuan's plan was flawless, and all he had to do now was to continue to capture the land north.

Especially in the north of Liaodong, the black land of later generations, the Tang Dynasty has not yet grasped it.

Not to mention Siberia further north, but Siberia has no value for development for the time being.

Because the weather in Siberia is harsh enough, and the resources of Siberia are not available now. After all, who can use natural gas now? The foundation of conquering the world lies in the strong ship and the cannon, and the foundation of the strong ship and the cannon is... the steam engine and the industrial revolution .

The first industrial revolution is... the invention of the steam engine, as for the second industrial revolution of petroleum and internal combustion engines, that is not yet used.

Because the development of things is always gradual, and you don't even have experience with a steam engine, you want to make an internal combustion engine, which is really whimsical.

The manufacture of steam engines must have sealing equipment such as rubber, so it is necessary to find America, transplanting rubber is a must, and the sooner the better.

And if you want to discover America and enter the American continent, you must open up a route to the north, and the route to the north must win that...the port that is not frozen all year round.

So after all the calculations, the most important thing now is to enter Liaodong.

Entering Liaodong, then there is a very obvious difference with the current Goguryeo.

Because now a small half of the land in Liaodong is in the hands of the Goguryeo people, but this land has belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times, but when the Central Plains Dynasty was fighting, the Goguryeo Dynasty took the opportunity to seize this land.

In the previous dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Koguryo three times, but he just wanted to get this land back.

It's just that his luck was bad, he offended some noble families in Hebei and Shandong, and he was a little eager for quick success. He was about to attack the highlands just after the canal was built, so he was a complete defeat.

But now, for the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo was completely vulnerable, and there were so many thunderstorms and landmines in the warehouses of the Hebei Gunpowder Workshop, but they never came in handy.

Now the production progress of the gunpowder workshop is very fast, but the progress of Datang's use of these weapons is very slow. Now the only Datang general who is using Thunder is... Hou Junji of the Western Regions.

This Hou Junji is a general on the younger side, he is one or two years younger than Li Shimin, and he is just in his early thirties.

Moreover, he came from an escort background, and he was a monk halfway through fighting in the army. Although he learned some martial arts from Li Jing, his mind was the most active.

This kind of hot weapon combined with the long-distance rushing style of play is... an earth-shaking innovation for the current marching formation.

And Hou Junji doesn't have such a deep-rooted military habit, so he is more handy in using it.

After Hou Junji conquered Loulan and Qiuci one after another, the news quickly spread back to Guanzhong.

While the army of the Tang Dynasty was fighting outside, it was impossible for the ministers in the DPRK to know nothing.

After all, the Tang Dynasty laid down these... The city still needs to be sent by the court to govern it.

Hou Junji was a general, he was in charge of killing people and taking land, and he was not in charge of governance.

If Hou Junji is allowed to govern, then these three 3 cities will become military camps.

Fang Xuanling of Zhongshu Province, the eldest grandson Wuji of Menxia Province, and several bigwigs of Shangshu Province were all uneasy when they got the news.

The sword of Datang was unsheathed again, and it was dyed with the blood of three people at once. What is even more rare is that it extinguished two countries overnight. This kind of speed not only makes outsiders feel terrified, but also officials like Datang themselves. of apprehension.

The civil servants and the military generals are inherently opposites, and the more powerful the military generals are, the civil servants will feel the danger.

But now Hou Junji has obtained the emperor's will to kill the Quartet in the Western Regions. If this power is not controlled, it is particularly dangerous.

Then Wei Zheng came to find Fang Xuanling again. He, the censor doctor, had a thousand words to tell Li Shimin, but Li Shimin hid in the palace and avoided seeing him. If Wei Zheng was not allowed to enter the palace, Wei Zheng could not speak.

Moreover, Li Shimin cancelled the next two great court meetings, which did not give Wei Zheng any chance.

Originally, Wei Zheng wanted to wait for the big court meeting to fight with Li Shimin, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to cancel the two big court meetings directly, which made Wei Zheng lose his last hope.

Now Wei Zheng can only sit in front of Fang Xuanling and complain to himself.

"Brother, you are the decree of the zhongshu province, and all the decrees of the DPRK and the CCP come from you. You can't be silent on this matter."

Fang Xuanling was very helpless: "Brother Wei, what do you mean? Now His Majesty is obviously hiding from us. Do you want me to directly break into the palace gate?"

"Brother Fang, this time is not... when you take care of your own safety, the Kingdom is already on the verge of extreme danger.

At this time, we need you and me to wait for the courtiers to be reckless. As long as the roommate is willing, I will bring a few censors and a few ministers, and let's go outside the palace gate to see your majesty.

The old man does not believe that under such circumstances, His Majesty can still sit firmly in the palace."

Fang Xuanling was also very helpless, this Wei Zheng always forced himself to offend the emperor.

Chapter 715

In the public office, Wei Zheng was extremely firm, but Fang Xuanling sighed.

"Brother Wei, this Hou Junji has only conquered three 3 countries in the Western Regions. There are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. It's early, why should Brother Wei worry?"

"Brother Fang, what are you talking about, you have captured two small countries in the Western Regions in just one day, and at this rate, perhaps now Hou Junji has already wiped out half of the countries in the Western Regions.

Wait another half a month, Hou Jun will gather the [-] elite soldiers to dominate the Western Regions.

If so, what should I do?"

Wei Zheng's eyes almost popped out: "Come down and then go west? Persia is in the west, and there are thousands of miles to the west. Do I want to keep fighting like this forever?"

Wei Zheng seemed very excited, he gasped as he spoke, and after he took a deep breath, he started talking again.

"Although a country is big, warlikeness will surely perish. Since the extermination of the Eastern Turks, His Majesty's manic heart has grown stronger.

Originally, the fight against the Eastern Turks was for the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty. After destroying the Eastern Turks, the hidden dangers in the north of the Tang Dynasty were swept away, and this is the time for the people to recuperate."

"But Your Majesty is using the army again, and he has no intention of stopping. As a result, if the people cannot rest and recuperate, how can the world be at peace."

After hearing that, Fang Xuanling hurriedly handed over a cup of tea to let Wei Zheng moisten his throat.

At this time, there were only the two of them in the official room, and the other subordinates did not dare to approach.

Because the two prime ministers have important business talks, no one dares to disturb them.

"Brother Wei, you are a bit sensational.

Although Nahou Junji has turned the world upside down in the Western Regions, the people of Guanzhong, Central Plains and Hebei have not been affected by this, and even the herdsmen on the grassland are very stable, there is no peace in this world."

Wei Zheng originally took a sip of tea, and just after he calmed down, when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, he immediately.

I couldn't sit still anymore.

"Brother, you are still here at this time: are you covering up for your majesty? You destroy a few small countries in the Western Regions, and it has no effect on the people of the world at all.

There are only tens of thousands of people in a country in the Western Regions, and it is too easy to deal with them."

"But after the Western Regions are taken down, how can we go west and advance to Persia? Persia is a big country. If you want to deal with Persia, you must have hundreds of thousands of troops."

"At that time, the people of my Tang Dynasty will leave the land in their hands and kill the enemy on the battlefield.

At that time, no matter whether we win or lose, the countryside will be desolate, and the people will be killed or injured, and I will give up in the middle of the Tang Dynasty when I have a good recuperation."

"In the previous dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions against Goguryeo caused the people to live in trouble, and there was a lot of trouble. Does your Majesty want to repeat the responsibility of Emperor Yang of Sui today?"

Fang Xuanling immediately advised: "Brother Wei, don't be so excited, now Hou Junji is just stirring up the situation in the Western Regions.
