Chapter 479 The Ming Army No Longer Short of Food

Li Jiancheng smiled,
"Eldest sister thinks too little of me. No matter how bad I am, I won't hinder Li Tang's big business."

Now that Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng have determined the direction of development, and there is no need to bloody Xuanwumen, Li Xiuning just felt relieved.

"Big sister can also expand overseas."

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiuning and said sincerely,
"Relying on your own ability, you only need tens of thousands of soldiers, and you will definitely be able to conquer the world overseas. At that time, you will also be called emperor. Wouldn't it be a good talk for future generations if our Li family has three emperors?"

Li Shimin said with a smile, "Big brother is right. If big sister has this idea, the two of us will join forces to fight outside. Then we will divide the land equally."

Li Xiuning looked at the white clouds in the sky and sighed quietly,

"I don't want to fight now. I just want to find a good man to live with."

"this?"

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other and fell silent.

They knew that Li Xiuning's vision was extremely high, and he didn't even pay attention to a famous general like Chai Shao who was capable of writing and martial arts. Who in Datang was worthy of her?

Li Shimin had an idea and told Li Xiuning.

"Sister, I know who you want to marry the most. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. You just need to ask Dr. Tongtian for help."

Li Xiuning smiled, "You don't have to worry about my affairs. I have my own ideas."

In the Datang plane where Li Xiuning lives, history has taken a 180-degree turn.Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin did not meet each other in battle. Instead, they divided the Tang army into two. Li Jiancheng led [-] soldiers to guard the Tang Dynasty, vigorously promoted high-yield crops, and built a navy, preparing to march to the sea when the time was right.

Li Shimin led more than [-] civil servants and generals, and led [-] government soldiers, and first marched to the grassland.After several battles in a row, Jieli Khan was defeated.When the Turks fled to the west, Tang Jun drove the Turks' ass into Eastern Europe.

Those self-defending principalities in Europe couldn't even stop the Turkic remnants and defeated generals, so how could they stop the crazy elites of the Tang Dynasty?
It only took Li Shimin ten years to knock down half of Europe, and by the way, the whole of Central Asia and the whole of Tianzhu.

Whether it was the full-body armored paladins of the Catholic Church, or the fierce and fearless Tianfang believers of Central Asia, they were all defeated in front of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

In the next few decades, Li Shimin continued to send people back to Datang to buy seeds, and tried every means to migrate Tang people to Central Asia.

Fifty years later, Li Shimin really built a great empire across Europe and Asia.This empire spans thousands of miles, several times larger than the homeland of China.

He also used Datang as his country name.

In order to distinguish it from the Tang Dynasty in the hometown of China, the world called Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty the Outer Tang Dynasty.

In order to thoroughly establish a foothold in the outer Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin made great efforts to immigrate from the Tang Dynasty.All Tang people, as long as they enter his territory, they can immediately get [-] mu of fertile land and [-] mu of good pasture.

Over the past few decades, millions of Tang people have successively settled down in Wai Tang.Li Shimin, who took Xisui Dan, lived to be more than 130 years old.

When he passed away, the whole of Europe was conquered by Outer Tang, and those small religious countries that had set aside land for self-defense were all bathed in the brilliance of Tang culture.

No matter what nationality they were originally from, what language they spoke, or what characters they used, they all became loyal users of the Chinese language at this time.

Nei Tang ruled by Li Jiancheng was also not to be outdone. He vigorously developed the navy, seized overseas islands, and grabbed Australia by accident, expanding Nei Tang's territory to the extreme.

The two brothers held their breaths and engaged in a race to open up territories.

By the time they died in the same year, the Great Tang had conquered half of the world, and implemented the effective rule of Confucian culture in all the areas it conquered.

If the food rewarded by the system is just icing on the cake for Li Tang and Liao, it is a timely help for Daming during the Chongzhen period.

What was the most lacking thing in the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period?Not soldiers, not generals, not gold and silver, but food.

Years of severe drought in the Northwest has caused refugees to flock to it, and it is impossible to suppress and kill them.

Even if Qin Liangyu, who was ordered to be in danger, managed to wipe out most of the rogues and drove Li Zicheng back to northern Shaanxi, under the continuous blow of natural disasters, Li Zicheng, who had only a few thousand people left, would rise again at any time and sweep half of the country. the whole world.

"It's better to die in battle than starve to death."

This is a sentence that every hungry person will think of.

But with this batch of grain, Chongzhen could support hundreds of thousands of troops for a three-year conquest without grain collection.He can exempt the five provinces of Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, and Hubei from collecting grain and taxes, so that the people who are struggling on the death line can breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition to the [-] shi of high-yield crop seeds, as long as they are distributed to provinces with severe famine and planted in the land, it only takes two or three years, and there will be no refugees in Ming Dynasty.

As for Donglu, with [-] excellent tunnel-fired guns, the cavalry, archery and heavy armored infantry that Donglu is proud of will only become a joke.

After receiving the reward from the system, Qin Liangyu immediately went to the palace to discuss with Emperor Chongzhen where the food should be sent.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to keep all these grains in the capital, and then transport them to various places to feed the officers and soldiers and relieve the hungry people. This is in line with the rule of "graciousness comes from above".

But he also understands that according to the current transportation capacity, if all 2000 million shi of grain are gathered in the capital, one-third will be eaten by the people who are transporting it on the way to the disaster-stricken areas.

Now Qin Liangyu happens to have the ability to freely distribute grain at one time given by the system. She can distribute this batch of grain to any warehouse in Daming according to her own ideas.

At this time, the rogue bandits were compressed to one place in Shaanxi, and the biggest threat to Ming Dynasty now is the Donglu.

Because of the joining of a group of Liaodong warlords such as Wu Sangui, the Qinglu at this time is stronger than in the original history.

It even once occupied Shanhaiguan.

Fortunately, in the process of exterminating Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, Qin Liangyu recruited 20 elite peasant army, as well as famous peasant army generals such as Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Yuan Zongdi Tian Jianxiu.

She led the peasant army who hadn't been infected with the bad habits of the masters of Ming Dynasty, rushed to Shanhaiguan, and fought fiercely with Huang Taiji on a rock for more than two months. He voluntarily withdrew from Shanhaiguan.

Now there are [-] peasant troops stationed inside and outside Shanhaiguan, with Sun Chuanting as the governor of Jiliao, and Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu and others as the commander-in-chief, and they are fighting with Huang Taiji for the northeastern land.

The generals of the Peasant Army are full of vigor, and they will never be like the previous generals of the Liaodong Army, who will only defend the city.They continued to send cavalry to attack the territory outside the pass, which made Huang Taiji, who had greatly increased his troops, a headache.

But the only weakness of the Peasant Army is the lack of food and salaries.

As a result, he didn't dare to go out on a large scale and fight Huang Taiji decisively.

Now with this batch of grain that fell from the sky, Chongzhen decided to send 1000 million shi of grain to Shanhaiguan, so that Sun Chuanting would no longer have to worry about lack of grain.
