Chapter 984 Another country that must be conquered
It's good to have this, but who has always made him so heartless? My mother and I always worry about him, and even my second brother is very tired. There is no way, my second brother is not here, so my second brother naturally has to take responsibility. To be honest, sometimes I really want to lift this kid into the military academy and let him know what rules are and what is at least, so as to avoid worrying my family all day long.
Today, after listening to the old man’s answer, I know that the old man is probably a little moved. Or, it should be said that the old man also thinks that the conventional education method is probably not very effective for the third brother, and he has to take extraordinary measures to deal with extraordinary people.
The Wushang Institute has drawn nearly a hundred elite craftsmen, brought a large number of flintlock devices and tools, and went to Jiannan Road to modify the 50,000 elite grenades, artillery and mortars of the Tang Dynasty in Jiannan Road. There is no way, 200 artillery, more than a thousand mortars, and countless bamboo and wooden grenades were transported to the army of Jiannan Road several months ago. They can no longer be transported back to Chang'an to modify it and then transported it back. It is not only a waste of manpower and material resources, but also a delay in the originally determined attack time.
Sending craftsmen to send out the flintlock device can better teach the use of the flintlock device to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, saving time and expenses.
In addition, the cement straight road from Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, to Yizhou, was finally forced to connect after tens of thousands of lives. Since then, the original difficulty of Shu has become a thing of the past. At least the four-wheeled carriage of the Tang Dynasty can pass smoothly. Instead, as before, people and horses have to walk carefully on the plank road, for fear of accidentally falling into the abyss.
The expansion of roads and convenient transportation make Shu brocade, silk and tea more easily transported from Shu to Chang'an and various prefectures and counties across the country, increasing the circulation of materials and trade exchanges, and using Shu's economic strength to increase.
The Tang Empire has paid more and more attention to the construction and maintenance of road traffic. At least they have clearly believed that if they want to become a powerful empire, it is a very necessary means to effectively control the territory of the empire. Think about it, if a rebellion occurs in Jiannan or Jiangnan, and the more than 100,000 troops loyal to the court in the Tang Empire could suddenly appear in front of the rebels within just a dozen days and suppress the rebellion. This efficiency is unprecedented.
------------------------------------------------
Uncle Li had already announced at the dynasty meeting that the envoys of nearly 100 vassal states of the Tang Dynasty and the civil and military officials of the dynasty that because the Indian countries disrespect our Tang Dynasty, they thought that India was thousands of miles away from our Tang Dynasty and could not threaten its destiny. They killed our Tang Dynasty envoys, plundered our Tang Dynasty merchants and property, and damaged our Tang Dynasty's reputation. Our Tang Dynasty, in the wish of seeking common ground while reserving differences, understanding each other and common development, sent another envoys to hope that the two countries could live in peace, but they did not expect that they were still insulted and teased, as if they regarded the kindness of our Tang Dynasty as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Therefore, in the anger of Uncle Li, the Tang Dynasty military god stood up and suggested sending troops to attack. Then, under the joint proposal of many court officials, Uncle Li finally made up his mind to turn the countries of India into the country that must be conquered by our Tang Dynasty. Back then, Uncle Li once listed Goguryeo as a country that must be conquered by Goguryeo, and Goguryeo turned into ashes. Immediately, Baekje and Japan also became a country that must be conquered. Sure enough, these two countries also disappeared in the smoke and dust of history at the same time.
It can be imagined that Uncle Li's announcement would be equivalent to verdicting the death penalty of the countries in India, and they would follow in the footsteps of those slutty countries who dared to oppose the Tang Empire. Moreover, the reason for the Tang Dynasty to declare war was very sufficient. No envoy of any vassal state expressed opposition. Perhaps they could not object. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, their strength gap was too great. Some small countries did not even have an army of 10,000 people. The Tang Dynasty only needed to send an elite of thousands of people and carry enough firearms to destroy its city and its country.
Strength is the capital to speak ruthlessly. Just like the Tang Dynasty, in recent years, the Tang Dynasty has been very modest in treating vassal states, but it will never do anything to the past. If the vassal states give back gifts worth hundreds or even thousands of times, this is not called generous, this is called stupidity, or a waste of the family. In recent years, dealing with countries around the Tang Dynasty has gradually understood that the principles of diplomatic work must not be done casually.
At this moment, I was leaning on the couch, thinking about this important matter that concerns the long-term development of the country and the nation. By the way, I should eat something for lunch, otherwise I would find a reason to beat Li Zhi and bake it. It would be quite pleasant.
Wan'er and the palace maid sister had already come in with the food plate at this time. I raised my head: "Hey, where is that girl Liushuang?" The palace maid sister heard my question and smiled bitterly: "Liushuang
She was busy in her workshop, saying she was still a little short of her to finish her work and she didn't want to come over."
"Why is this girl so worry-free..." After hearing the answer from the palace maid's sister, I could only speak out. Wan'er called her two or three times before coming here. She hurriedly ate the meal, and then walked to the side yard to continue busy. I wanted to ask myself, but as soon as I arrived at the gate, she asked her to block it, saying that she would give me a surprise after her research results were completed.
"Junlang, don't worry. Sister Liushuang is so kind that no one can control her. She likes to tinker with these little things. She just wants to do it. I have already told her to ask the cook to give her another two eggs. No matter what, her body is still important." The palace maid put the food plate on the table, and then Wan'er placed the bowls and chopsticks, sat next to me, and comforted me in a low voice.
"You're still careful. By the way, that prince is not here to have dinner today?" I raised my hand and gently held the palace maid's slender hands, sat cross-legged. They were all my favorite dishes, such as Dongpo elbow, braised lion head, braised lamb, braised beef, and several dishes of vegetarian dishes.
The palace maid picked up a steamed bun and put it in my hand. She smiled and said, "I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the morning and said I wanted to go for exercise early. It's noon now, so I'm afraid I should come back. It's strange that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seemed to be very diligent since he followed Junlang in Weinan. Every day, he either exercises or soaks in hot springs..."
------------------------------------------------
"He, hum, what else can he do except soak in hot springs and ride a horse and hunt? This guy almost treats the official duties I assigned to him as homework. As long as he finishes, he will scatter his legs and walk out. No one can stop him. It is not much different from my sworn brother who is stuck in a scoundrel, and he is not motivated!" I angrily took a bite of the steamed bun and said angrily. Yes, Li Zhi is becoming more and more like Li Ke, at least in terms of food, drink and play. Although the prince is not as strong as Li Ke in terms of sexual interest in women, eating, drinking and play is not inferior to his idol third brother.
Seeing this, Wan'er and the palace maid couldn't help but cover their lips and smile. I glared at the two beautiful girls: "What are you doing? Is it wrong?"
"Yes! Yes. I slept until now last night, but you haven't even lost your stomach..." The palace maid said with a smile, blinking her almost innocent eyes.
Humph, it was clearly said this on purpose, which means that we are not much different from Li Zhi's playboy prince, and we are just as lazy as we eat and eat.
I threw a piece of braised beef into my mouth, with a disdainful expression: "Of course you don't know. Last night, I thought about national affairs for my husband all night, so it would be strange if I wasn't tired."
Wan'er blushed and quickly lowered her head and turned her face to the side. The palace maid shook her head helplessly, as if she was angry and funny: "Okay, is it because I misunderstood? No wonder why I always listened to the sound of grinding my teeth last night, haha..."
I was so angry that I wanted to be ruthless, but I asked the palace maid sister to block my mouth with a large piece of elbow flesh. Well, let her get her up for the time being. Tonight, let me grind her teeth for the night.
Two days later, I finished my work from the county government office. As soon as I walked into the house, I heard the closed courtyard door of the side yard creaking and opened, revealing a pretty face wrapped in a piece of oil stain. It was Liushuang, and she was still wearing the gray work clothes on her body. She waved to me excitedly and refused to speak. What is this girl doing?
I curiously approached and said, "Sister, what are you doing?" Liushuang did not answer me, but dragged me into the side yard with great excitement, and then hugged me tightly. After her dirty face was covered with white and flawless face, the girl raised her head. Her face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes seemed to see the most precious treasure in the world.
