As a result, Changsun Wuji retired and Li Ji led his troops to the war. Before he knew it, his five ministers in the temple were the only choice for the prime minister to discuss politics.

Li Yuanai always felt that the emperor was the most laborious in his life. It was not until he became the prime minister that he realized that before the prime minister system was removed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the prime minister was the one who handled the world.

The emperor's task is to review the results of the prime ministers' handling of things.

And it is just a matter of handling a certain proportion of important matters. The prime minister decides on ordinary trivial matters without asking about the emperor.

There were too many military and government pragmatism in the entire dynasty, and Li Yuanai was a little unbearable when he presided over a prime minister's political discussion, so he began to think of ways to skip work.

I didn't expect Li Zhi to directly ask Du Zhenglun, Ren Yaxiang and Shu Xinmao to arrest people today.

Seeing that he could not escape, Li Yuanai had to respond with them to the imperial city to preside over the political discussion.

Li Yuanai had thought about the difficulties encountered by Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao. There was no safe way.

Li Yuanai summarized the course of thousands of years of history, and had no wonderful methods for the Western Regions and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

This kind of ethnic integration requires time to accumulate, and it is not something that can be solved overnight, nor is it a matter of one policy.

Just when Li Yuanai was having a headache about this, the Ministry of War sent a war report on the front line.

Li Ji went westward, and the old general was getting stronger and stronger. He went straight to the hinterland of the grassland, looking for the enemy to fight, and he acted as if he would not remove the enemy's head and would not return to the court. His strong style made the Western Turkic Shabolu Khan Ashinahelu lose his soul and dared not fight head-on with the Tang army and fled. This move made the fence-bearers who depended on them choose to turn against each other and began to contact Li Ji for a way to survive.

Li Ji used them to explore the movements of Asina Helu, and won consecutive victories, and fought to Central Asia, almost approaching the Aral Sea. In the end, the Lianxi Turkic tribes were desperate and even killed their Khan, holding his head and asked to surrender.

Li Ji's battle exerted the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. All the countries in the Western Regions were scared and sent envoys to Chang'an with great gifts.

Li Yuanai was so excited that he was so excited that he had the urge to let Li Ji ride the horses of the Xianhai and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty to this point.

Suddenly, he thought of the Western Regions and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and controlled his impulse and said, "The thief leader was executed and the British Duke can return to the court."

Drinking horses and Central Asia is indeed amazing.

But it can't be controlled, what's the point?

Instead of taking uncontrollable areas, it is better to patiently swallow the Western Regions and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and adopt them as China's inherent territory.

This is not impossible.

Just like the earliest Xia and Shang dynasties, the land of Qi and Lu was called barbarians.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu Man, Wu Yue Man, and even Qin State regarded the Qin Man as the Qin Man.

What about now?

It starts from the Korean Peninsula in the east, expands from Turpan in the west, and covers Lake Baikal in the north, and ends in central Vietnam in the south, all of which are the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Some things may not be your own. If you don’t hold them up quickly, it is easy to take them away by others. The way is to be able to digest the digestive tract.

This is also the difference between the conquest of the West and their assimilation.

The idea of ​​great unification is deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Chinese nation.

As long as you have strong strength, it will be a matter of time sooner or later. The priority is to completely take down Qinghai Lake and the Western Regions.

When Li Yuan Ai insisted on seeking stability, the Japanese Kingdom in the east, Baekje formed a coalition force and began to launch an offensive against Silla.

Li Yuanai was not anxious but happy. If he wanted to expand the West, it was essential to have a stable rear.

In Japan, Baekje has always been a future problem.

Li Zhi took the veteran Cheng Yaojin as the commander, and Li Yuanai recommended Liu Rengui as his deputy to make up for the old fairy's irritable weakness.

This time, Tang Jun fully utilized his technological advantages.

In Japan, the Baekje coalition thought that the Tang army came to rescue Silla, and a large number of troops would pass through Liaodong and enter the hinterland of Goguryeo from the Yalu River to join Silla, but they did not expect the Tang army to directly raise 60,000 troops to fight across the sea.

The Tang Dynasty naval army had already retained its establishment and could be sent to the battlefield at any time.

Li Yuanai opened the sea in the south of the Yangtze River, which gave the Tang Dynasty rich experience in maritime driving.

According to investigations, the coalition forces of Japan and Baekje totaled 80,000 soldiers, of which 35,000 were sent to Japan, and 7,000 boats and ships, covering the sky and the sun...

Cheng Yaojin has a bad arithmetic, so he calculates by his fingers.

Liu Rengui followed Li Yuanai for many years, mastered the basic skills, and muttered, "Five, 7,35, 7,000 boats, 5 people in one boat?"

Cheng Yaojin listened to his words and said, "If I lose this battle, I, Cheng, jumped directly from this building boat!"

Anyone who knows military knows this. Water battles are stronger than bows and crossbows and ships.

The Tang Dynasty's powerful bow and crossbow are unparalleled in the world and are famous all over the world.

I dare not say whether naval warships can dominate the world, but they can fight against the seven thousand boats in Japan. What are the same ants against the elephant?

Liu Rengui was both civil and military, and said, "The 7,000 boats in Japan are just for crossing the sea and have no combat power. They must be aware of this and will not fight with us on the water."

Even though Cheng Yaojin was old, he was as brave as he was when he was young, and smiled and said, "What are you afraid of when you fight on land?"

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "The veteran general is extremely brave and naturally fearless. But my Tang Dynasty is very precious, so there is no need to fight with them. Since His Highness of the King of Wu opened the sea, he has asked someone to draw a chart. Where we are now, we are heading westward to the Baijiangkou of Baekje. If we turn southwest, we can go directly to a place called Kyushu in Japan..."

Cheng Yaojin was not a wise and brave general. However, he had been in the army for many years and had rich experience. He instantly understood and said, "Absolutely Wei and save Zhao?"

Liu Rengui nodded and said, "The old general can lead a large army to Kyushu and lead his army to capture the territory of Japan. When the Japanese soldiers in Baekje learned that they would inevitably return to aid, a certain territorial navy intercepted the enemy's midway. With our warships, we can easily win. If Japan is defeated, Baekje will also be vulnerable."

Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed and followed the plan.

As expected by Liu Rengui.

Japan is full of ambitions. The island they live in is limited and they are coveted by the resources of Haidong. This time, they sent troops to mobilize most of the military power, and the inside is the most vulnerable.

Tang Jun logged into Jiuzhou Island at this time and instantly confused them.

Jiuzhou Island fell into vain in an instant.

Liu Rengui led the Tang Dynasty navy to attack the Japanese navy who was intending to return to Japan to rescue at Baijiangkou.

Liu Rengui did not use any tactical strategy and directly concealed the killing head-on. Most of the Japanese navy were ferry boats, and only eighty large ships had the power to fight. However, when facing three hundred warships armed to the teeth, there was no power to fight back whether it was attacked from afar or close collision.

In this battle, the Japanese army lost tens of thousands of dollars, drowned or killed, and all of them sank to the bottom of the Baijiangkou.

And the Tang army's three hundred warships are intact...

Liu Rengui took advantage of the situation to capture Xiong Jincheng in one fell swoop.

Liu Rengui's actions to defeat Baekje were not smooth. When he was heading towards Baekje's hinterland, Baekje's famous general Hei Chi Changzhi took advantage of the obstacles of the mountain city to resist Liu Rengui's offensive.

Liu Rengui faced Heiqi Changzhi, but for a moment, he couldn't do anything to him.

The young general Cheng Wuting observed the terrain, saw through the weakness of the mountain city's water shortage, cut off its water source, and forced Heichi Changzhi to withdraw from the mountain city.

Cheng Wuting led his army to chase and defeat his troops.

Liu Rengui led a large army to the capital of Baekje, Siqi, and Silla was initially attacked by Baekje. The Japanese coalition forces lost more than 40 cities. The important city of Daye City was also captured by Baekje, causing heavy losses. Baekje, who had invaded Silla, learned that the Japanese were defeated, the Tang army captured their old capital, Xiongjin City, and withdrew their troops back to Siqi.

While Silla recovered the lost territory, he also called to lead his troops to join the Tang army and trapped Baekje in Siqi.

Baekje is destroyed!

Cheng Yaojin in Japan faced the shortage of troops and swept Kyushu Island with a devastating momentum and headed towards Chinese (Japanese place names).

In a frightened state, Emperor Xiaode of Japan sent a surrender letter and sent important officials to apologize to Cheng Yaojin.

Yao Jin naturally did not dare to make decisions about this matter and rushed to Chang'an.

"Agree, of course!"

When Li Yuanai got the news, he was overjoyed.

Li Zhi was a little surprised and realized that his uncle had an inexplicable hostility towards Japan. This time he sent troops to Baekje, he even had the urge to go to the fortification himself. He suppressed it himself... The Tang Empire would not have let a prime minister who had no command experience go to the front line to command the troops.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he did not choose to take advantage of the situation.

But soon Li Zhi realized that he was thinking too much, and Li Yuanai's excited words rang out in his ears: "We can accept their begging for surrender, but we must pay the price for what they did. Otherwise, the surrounding countries are like Japan. When they want to rebel, they will hold up their flags to rebel. When they see that the situation is wrong, they surrender and beg for forgiveness, and then prepare for the next rebellion? How can there be such a beautiful thing? Cut land and pay compensation, sign a defeated treaty, and make them pay the price for their rebellion."

He said, narrowing his eyes and said softly: "As early as the late emperor pacified Goguryeo, I met with a Japanese monk named Gao Xiangxuanri in Pyongyang. From him, he learned that there was a huge silver mine in their Izumo country, and the silver ore storage capacity was extremely huge, far better than any silver mine pit in our dynasty. It was divided into the territory of our dynasty and arranged for craftsmen to mine it, which greatly improved our dynasty's economy."

Li Yuanai was not sure how much silver ore was stored in Ishimi Yinshan, but during the Edo period, its output was as high as one-third of the world at that time.

Li Zhi's eyes were red.

He wants to accomplish great things, but what he lacks the most now is money.

Although the imperial court's copper coins were full of credibility, the territory of the Tang Dynasty did not use gold and silver as the main currency. However, regardless of any dynasty, gold and silver were hard currency...

Li Zhi, who was jealous, immediately ordered the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for ceding land and paying compensation and signing a defeated treaty.

In just two years, Li Zhi showed his prestige and then gave himself the title of Emperor Emperor, and casually called the Empress of Heaven to the present Queen Xiao, imitating the previous dynasty Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo.

Compared to Li Zhi, who was already a little elated, what Li Yuanai was most happy about was that the second-generation generals had begun to show their talents.

In the battle of Li Ji to destroy the Western Turks, Pei Xingjian, who abandoned literature and followed the military, made complete plans, and Tang Xiujing, who was steady and mature, was recommended by Li Ji.

Liu Rengui decided to Baekje, and the young general Cheng Wu was quite brilliant, and he also subdued Baekje famous general Heiqi Changzhi.

When Cheng Yaojin was circulating on Kyushu Island in Japan, he also found a young general named Wang Fangyi under his command. He reported the situation to Li Zhi truthfully because his sister was the deposed queen Wang.

Li Zhi didn't care and promoted him to a general.

Pei Xingjian, Tang Xiujing, Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, and Heichi Changzhi have entered the stage of history.

Li Yuanai looked at the political, military and economic situation of the Tang Dynasty, and was very proud of himself. After his own construction, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty should have arrived in advance.

(The book is over)

Sorry brothers!

I haven't written a book for too long and have not grasped this aspect of superpowers, so the plot has collapsed.

I originally wanted to restore the black-hearted Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi who I understood, but because I wrote it too long during the Zhenguan period, I couldn't hold it anymore.

The more I write, the less I can't write.

Especially later, I can’t write a hundred words in an hour for a long time. I deleted it and then wrote it and deleted it.

Really, thanks to my brother who still supports me.

I'm really sorry for you.
Chapter completed!
