Opening Pirate Clips: Fifteen Shocking Famous Scenes

Chapter 347

Seeing Liu Che's astonished expression, Zhao Kuangyin smiled wryly, "Just like Huo Qubing, Emperor Wu, a natural military freak, led the army to wipe out all the other rebels, and established the territory of the early Tang Dynasty!"

"Later, because it was too dazzling, we could only give him the title of 'Admiral Tiance/General' to commend his achievements."

When Liu Che looked at Li Shimin again, his eyes were completely different.

Although I know that the light curtain praises Li Shimin very much.

But he didn't expect Li Shimin to be so against the sky.

He was crowned king at the age of 21.

This is something that Huo Qubing never did.

"Hey, a little credit is not worth mentioning."

Li Shimin smiled very happily, with a humble look.

[After defeating the East/Turks, they sent troops to conquer injustice many times and vigorously managed the Western Regions]

[In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun invaded the border, Taizong ordered an attack.The following year, Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan fled into the desert, and Emperor Taizong established a new king of Tuyuhun]

[In the 13th year of Zhenguan, soldiers attacked Gaochang.The following year, Gaochang surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong established Anxi Dufu in the capital of Gaochang, and all countries in the Western Regions came to pay tribute to Chang'an]

[In the 19th year of Zhenguan, troops were sent to fight against Xue Yantuo, the new overlord of Mobei.In the following year, Duomozhi, the 'Itebushi Khan', surrendered to the Tang army, and the Xueyantuo Kingdom perished. 】

[In the 20th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong set up Anbei Duhufu in Mobei, and Shanyu Duhufu in Monan]

[In this regard, a huge empire territory was established that extends to Luofu State in the south, Xuanque State in the north, Anxi State in the west, and Gewu State in the east]

"Li Shimin, why does your battle in the Tang Dynasty seem as simple as eating and drinking water?"

"These countries are not so weak."

Liu Che opened his mouth, saying something untrue.

As an emperor who also conquered many other tribes.

He clearly knew that among the tribes around the Central Plains, there were still some very powerful countries.

But Li Shimin...

In the past 20 years, he has beaten up all the surrounding small countries!
These are normal...

Give him 20 years and he can do it.

But the key is...

"Why do you frequently go to war, but the country is not in financial crisis? Didn't you say that militarism will cause social turmoil?"

"Why did your Tang Dynasty become more and more prosperous as you fought more, with social stability and economic development, and the people's strength never withered?"

"There is even Zhenguan Zhishi!"

This is where Liu Che was confused.

It is also fighting for years, why is he guilty of his own edict, and the world is in chaos.

But Li Shimin is lucky, the country is rich and the people are strong, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, all nations come to court!
"Probably because the merchants in the Western Regions are really good at doing business?"

Li Shimin said uncertainly, and he also said with some guilty conscience: "I have only been in Zhenguan for eight years now, and I have just defeated the Eastern/Turks, Tuyuhun, and managed the Western Regions."

"I haven't experienced the subsequent wars, and I can't give you the answer!"

After all, he can't cross...

How could he know that behind him would be so fierce!
but…

He was very happy to see the Tang army behind him so ruthless.

This made him feel like he was fighting on the battlefield when he was young.

[From the 19th to the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Taizong conquered Goguryeo. Although he did not completely win, he also deeply damaged Goguryeo and seized a large number of items, laying a solid foundation for Gaozong to conquer Goguryeo]

"Um?!"

Seeing this result, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown. He didn't even beat Goguryeo?

"This Goguryeo really has two brushes. It's no wonder that when I first asked the Xianjia, I only got a lot of supplies from him. Although I won, Goguryeo didn't completely perish."

When Li Shimin showed his territory with a group of emperors, he obtained the territory map of his heyday from Su Yang, the immortal family.

At that time, he wondered why Goguryeo was not fully included.

Daring...

During his reign, he failed to destroy Goguryeo!

"interesting!"

Li Shimin is not a person who retreats in spite of difficulties.

on the contrary…

Goguryeo's strength greatly aroused his interest.

same!

The firmness of Goguryeo also attracted the attention of Liu Che and even the first emperor.

The invincible Datang army failed to capture Goguryeo in three years.

This Goguryeo is really something extraordinary.

"The failure to capture Goguryeo was not because the Tang army was not strong enough..."

Zhao Kuangyin ran out again at this time and explained: "It is because Goguryeo is in a good location and is quite far from the Tang Dynasty, which puts a lot of pressure on the Tang army's logistics supplies."

"Besides, it's very cold and arid, and it's not suitable for long-term wars. Therefore, even if the Tang army has an absolute advantage, in order to reduce losses, they can only retreat at the right time."

Zhao Kuangyin smacked his lips with envy in his expression.

His Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the attack on Goguryeo, even the sixteen prefectures of Youyun are not in his hands, so he can only watch the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and enjoy his eyes.

"Is that so, it makes sense..."

Hearing Zhao Kuangyin's words, all the emperors were relieved.

Right…

No matter how strong Goguryeo is, it cannot be stronger than Datang.

[In the early years of Zhenguan, the imperial edict collected books nationwide, built a "Hongwen Museum" to store books, and appointed officials to manage them]

[There are also "Historical Museum", "Sijing Bureau", "Secretary Province" and "Chongwen Museum" collections. The quality and quantity of the collections far exceed the previous generation, and the history is called "a large collection of books"]

[But in his later years, because of the large-scale construction of palaces and the use of troops year after year, the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes increased day by day]

"That's right. How could the use of troops for years not have any impact on the country?"

Seeing the last sentence, Liu Che was immediately happy.

He just said it!

How could someone be able to get richer and richer!

This unscientific!

Li Shimin rolled his eyes speechlessly, he wanted to ask: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, are you so upset about the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty?
Seeing his exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes increased in his later years, he was suddenly happy.

Hey hey hey, can you hope he gets better?

"However, in my later years, I actually want to build a palace?"

Li Shimin frowned, feeling that this was very bad.

But on second thought...

It seems that I have been frugal all my life, and it is normal to suddenly want to enjoy it in my later years.

After the country is rich and the people are strong, it is always easy for people to slack off, and once they slack off, it is easy to indulge in wine, sex and pleasure.

Li Shimin thinks he is not a god-man...

Impossible to be exempt!
"That's right, I have fought all my life, so can't I enjoy it?"

Li Shimin thought so.

frugal for a lifetime…

It's not surprising that you should be extravagant when you are dying.

[In dealing with ethnic relations, Taizong showed a benevolent and generous mind, regarded the world as a family, did not suspect exclusion, and adopted enlightened and friendly means to govern different ethnic groups]

[After the destruction of the East/Turks, we chose to respect and preserve Turkic social organizations and customs, designated special custom areas for Turkic people to live in, and selected Turkic leaders to govern, created a new system of prefectures and prefectures, and achieved good results 】

[And formed the first system in which the head of the minority regime was conferred by the Tang court, which further strengthened the majesty of the "Tian Khan" of the Tang Dynasty]

[Take the means of making peace with Tubo, and coordinate and strengthen the relationship with the surrounding ethnic groups through marriage and family ties]

"And kiss..."

The other emperors did not make a sound, but Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I think this system is not very good, sacrificing women in exchange for the peace of a country is somewhat cowardly!"

What he said...

Many emperors looked at him, a little surprised and a little angry.
