I’m Marquis in Great Tang

In June, the sun is like fire.

Because it was too hot outside, Du Qi never went out most of the time and stayed in the palace to deal with things. Today, Du Qi’s adjustment to Xia Country is, on the one hand, in the military, strengthening the military’s battle strength and strengthening the control of the military. On the other hand, it is to increase the intensity of economic development in various regions to ensure both internal and external development.

Only in this way can we develop our own strength to the maximum.

In fact, after Du Qi took the Shule Kingdom and destroyed the Western Turkic, it has been a long time since at least a year or two. Not enough, insufficient naturalization of Western Regions.

Only the entire Western Regions can recognize Xia Country.

Let everyone recognize their identity.

This is fusion.

If it is a simple combination, once a problem occurs, it will eventually be all split up and in pieces. Why can’t the Central Plains be dismantled after being gathered together? Because the Central Plains Confucian culture has a culture of unification.

There is no king’s soil in the whole world, or the king’s small official. The whole world must be unified. This is the common sense that has been integrated into the bones of countless scholars, so it will not change after thousands of years.

Xia Country that Du Qi needs is the same.

Can truly not distinguish each other.

Of course, for more than a year, I have been proclaiming this. Whether it is text or language, or to make people recognize and be proud of it, they are constantly advancing, and the results achieved are excellent.

The reason is simple, the people have benefited and benefited.

This is fundamental.

Today’s reforms to be done by Du Qi, if it is purely empty words, it will easily lead to resistance. Only driven by profit, these reforms are completed, coupled with the silent text Shadow Transformation like spring wind transform to rain, and finally a few generations later, only Xia Country is left in Western Regions, and there is no more Western Regions. country.

Although Du Qi rarely goes out, the news of bad people in various places is still continuously compiled so that Du Qi can know the progress of the place.

When Du Qi was dealing with government affairs, an in-house attendant said: “His Majesty, Shangguan Yi, please see me.”

Du Qi instructed: “Please!”

The waiter immediately shouted out Shangguan Yi to see him. The one by one inner waiter sent the message outside. After a short while, Shangguan Yi entered the great hall, gave a bow to Du Qi and took a seat.

Du Qi saw the fine beads of sweat on Shangguan Yi’s face and said: “Mr. Shangguan, it’s hot outside.”

Shangguan Yi said: “The sun is like fire! “

Du Qi said: “Come here, bring a glass of watermelon juice. It’s iced.”

The waiter went to get it immediately.

In a short while, I took a glass of iced watermelon juice, which is freshly squeezed watermelon juice. Western Regions has a lot of fruits, and watermelon is one of them. Especially the temperature difference between day and night makes watermelon very sweet. And this ice cube is made by Du Qi with Saltpeter. Although it is not edible, this ice cube can serve as a chiller. The cup containing the watermelon juice is also a glass manufacturer, which looks very beautiful.

Today’s glass is even more popular.

Because of Wang Ping and the others’ Research & Development of glass, they have begun to intervene in life. From glass windows, to glass mirrors, to glasses, and other daily necessities, many of them are glass. of.

Just so, glass business is excellent.

Shangguan Yi took over and took a sip of watermelon juice. Nowadays, in these dog days, a glass of iced watermelon juice makes me feel more comfortable. I just feel that all the pores on my body are comfortable at this moment. It’s very comfortable to open. And because of the heat brought by walking under the heat and the irritability in his heart, he was completely relieved with this sip of iced watermelon juice.

In fact, items like iced watermelon juice have also begun to be sold.

Not very unusual.

After all, the skill of Saltpeter ice making was relatively easy to make ice. On the other hand, it is easy to squeeze watermelon juice fresh, so Li Yanyun has done a good job in expanding these areas.

Shangguan Yi took two more sips and said: “Let His Majesty laugh.”

Du Qi said: “Are you here today, what’s the matter?”

Shangguan Yi’s expression became serious when he heard the words, and seriously said: “His Majesty, the minister is here today because everyone in our cabinet has discussed and thought that the current Xia Country has almost been adjusted. Not only that, Xia Country The population is also prospering. Under this premise, it must be expanded. Proper expansion is necessary.”

“After discussing, we believe that Xia Country should go west again and go to India. Go ahead. Or, go to the Sassanid dynasty of Persia to the west. The area bordering us should be taken down and cannot be kept.”

“After all, the Western Regions countries, although Nowadays, commerce is extremely developed, but the prosperity of these businesses cannot make us truly rooted. We need to have truly fertile land and an area with truly pleasant seasons.”

“India or Persia, there is Such a place.”

Shangguan Yi once lived in the Central Plains. He has seen the colorfulness of Great Tang and the beautiful scenery of Great Tang. However, Shangguan Yi finds everything in Xia Country inappropriate.

The climate here is too extreme.

Even though the products are abundant, there are many products, but they are actually too monotonous.

Du Qi said solemnly: “In the Xia Country at the moment, our four armies have all been reorganized and have formed a battle strength. In terms of people’s livelihood, they are also quite good, and they can indeed go to war. The cabinet In terms of where do we think we should start the war?”

Shangguan Yi said: “The primary target of our choice is India in the south, because India now has two major powers. One is the Harsha Empire in the north. The northern India region is quite powerful. The second is the Chaluch dynasty in the south, occupying the Southern Region of India.”

paused, Shangguan Yi said: “Whether it is Harsha Empire or Chloe Their dynasties all have an obvious feature. They are not centralized like ours, and they are not controlled by the Imperial Court. They are similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. There are many small countries and small states underneath that respect the Sect Master country. In this Under the circumstances, each country has its own mind, and it is also conducive to our planning.”

Du Qi nodded: “In this case, we will attack Harsha Empire first.”

Harsha Empire The king is now Emperor Harshavardhana.

The period when he was in power was the peak period of the Harsha Empire. It almost destroyed the Choruch dynasty in the south and thus unified the entire India region. Even so, he lies across the north of India and is the most powerful. Du Qi knew about the existence of Emperor Harshavardhana, but he was not afraid of Emperor Harshavardhana, even Li Shimin was stunned, not to mention trifling Emperor Harshavardhana.

Du Qi said: “This service sends troops, what advice does your cabinet have?”

In the earliest days, Du Qi once set up a staff. It’s just that the staff needs a lot of talents to participate. If there are no full talents, the staff is tantamount to a fake. After Jiang Changzong took office in the local area, the staff was completely empty, and Du Qi mainly relied on the plans of the cabinet under his command.

There is no way, the talent is insufficient.

Shangguan Yi seriously said: “His Majesty, let’s go to India. Our cabinet believes that it is not suitable for the whole army to send troops at the moment. On the one hand, we must guard against the Great Tang in the east; on the other hand, we need to stabilize Internal. So the minister’s plan is that the two Generals, Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan, will take control of Gaochang in this battle. Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang each led an army of 40,000, and went with the army.”

paused, Shangguan Yi said. “There are two armies with more than 80,000 people, which is enough to form a battle strength. Once there are too many people, too much baggage, it is not conducive to logistical supplies. Now there are more than 80,000 people, which is no more, no less.”

Du Qi thought about it carefully, and said: “It can be arranged like this.”

Shangguan Yi said: “In this case, the minister immediately sent the order to mobilize the First Army of Xue Rengui. , And Su Dingfang’s Fourth Army’s expedition. The time for the expedition was selected by our cabinet in three days. Because it is a lucky day after three days, it is suitable for the oath to go on the expedition.”

“Yes!”

Du Qi is nodded again.

It is imperative to conquer India. Impossible Du Qi is based on Western Regions and is complacent. Because Western Regions is currently developing well, and Du Qi’s strength is not weak, but after all, there are too many shortcomings to be based on.

Shangguan Yi stood up and left.

When Du Qi was preparing for the expedition, a servant came in again and reported: “His Majesty, Wang Ping, please see me.”

Du Qi said: “Let him come in. “

The waiter sent the order again.

Du Qi put aside the brush in his hand, but was a little curious about what new item Wang Ping has made now.
