Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 507 Di Renjie's Admiration
Di Renjie is very aware of his own strength and talent.

He knows what he's good at.

I also know where my limit is.

If it is in their own good aspects.

He has the confidence to compete with Li Ke.

But for some aspects.

He was ashamed.

But what really makes Di Renjie admire is.

Obviously everyone is about the same age.

But it's fine if Li Ke is capable.

And never take credit for it.

At least for so many years.

Di Renjie had never heard of Li Ke's bullying.

This is what Di Renjie admires the most.

Along with ability, there is also character and virtue.

This is very rare.

For so many years.

Plus what you learned from books.

Di Renjie has seen too many unworthy people.

Even in the current palace.

some of them.

In Di Renjie's eyes, they are all unworthy of virtue.

no way.

Di Renjie knew he was honest.

He never hides anything.

When he admires a person, he really admires him.

But if you don't like a person, you really don't like it.

This is his arrogance as a genius.

If it is Di Renjie in the future.

Perhaps this arrogance has long since been polished away.

But now Di Renjie is still very arrogant.

He thought that apart from Li Ke
It is impossible for young people of the same age to be better than him.

At most, it is only in some respects that he has the ability to rival him.

such ability.

She has too.

Therefore, he admires the strong.

But for those who are just fishing for fame.

He was not at all polite.

Di Renjie came this time.

Naturally, he was summoned by Li Ke.

Li Ke didn't bother him, and asked directly: "Huaiying, I want to build a fortress on the border of Pyu country."

Di Renjie is a genius after all.

He quickly understood what Li Ke wanted to do.

Build a city on the border fortress of Pyu.

Of course it is for war.

And where the Pyu country can build border fortresses, what is left?

Among the countries bordering Pyu.

Basically, they have been beaten by Datang.

Or it may be the territory of Datang itself.

There is only one direction left, and there is no movement yet.

And the West was caught in its own war during this time.

There was no time to call towards the east for a while.

otherwise.

At the time of the riots in Pyu country.

Those people in the West may not take advantage of the fire.

and so.

The answer is already on the horizon.

"Your Highness wants to march to the west?"

Although Di Renjie doesn't understand military affairs.

But that doesn't mean he's a fool.

He immediately understood what Li Ke meant.

This fortress is not just a line of defense.

Also a supply station.

Prepare for the Shu army to march towards the west.

Li Ke nodded, not hiding his intentions at all.

"Now Datang's territorial expansion has reached its limit."

"If you want to continue to expand, there is only the west or the sea."

"So, I'm going to head west."

In addition to the West, in fact, marching by sea is also possible.

After all, in this period.

The vast majority of places are still Aboriginal.

There is no formed combat power at all.

With the strength of Datang's army in the past, they could directly crush Pingtui.

Not to mention Li Ke's Shu army.

And those places have not been developed yet.

So most of the resources are readily available.

Just go and pick up the money.

But there is an obvious problem here.

Datang's maritime capabilities are still insufficient.

They can send naval forces to conquer those countries.

But with Datang's current navigation technology.

Even if you win.

It's also difficult for them to bring those resources back.

Not to mention the difficulty of sending letters by sea.

more difficult than on land.

If you really hit it.

I'm afraid for a long time.

Those places will be in a state of autonomy.

Of course, Li Shimin and Li Ke can also send trusted people to manage.

But in fact, the current Datang and Shu Kingdoms are short of talents.

otherwise.

Piao country will not be handed over to Di Renjie alone.

It all takes time.

Moreover, after conquering such a large territory, it is necessary to establish a complete air route.

In this route.

It requires a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain.

And it also needs a huge port.

This all takes time and commitment.

The current Datang just lacks these things.

Therefore, Li Ke could only temporarily abandon the maritime combat plan.

Put all your energy into Europe that you can see in front of you.

Although Europe is said to be very far away from Datang.

But it is on land after all.

There is still no hindrance to the transmission of letters.

It's just that if you continue to call.

I want to manage the world in the future.

Datang is afraid that the capital will be moved.

of course.

That was a long time ago.

Now Li Ke doesn't think about those things at all.

Moreover.

Wait until then.

I'm afraid that electricity has already developed.

With the advent of the telephone.

Sending a message is no problem.

Naturally, there is no need to move the capital.

Di Renjie nodded after thinking about Li Ke's request.

"The Pyu Kingdom now has the ability to build fortresses."

"It's just that it takes time."

The topic still came back.

time.

Pyu is still very poor.

Want to build a fortress.

The vast majority of resources are to be drawn from within the Pyu country.

A small part was mobilized from Datang and Shu.

This takes time.

But the current situation in Pyu country can only be regarded as just stabilized.

If you want to build a fortress, you need to recruit most of the manpower.

And want to manage these people.

The Shu army is also indispensable.

This is a huge waste.

Simultaneously.

More people went to build the fortress.

I'm afraid the public's anxiety will rise.

In other parts of the country, management will be neglected.

All sorts of messes can easily arise.

No matter which way you look at it.

This is all a very troublesome thing.

Li Ke nodded.

He had expected this result a long time ago.

And when discussing this matter with Di Renjie.

He had just finished talking with Fang Xuanling before.

The Zhang Zhung Kingdom also needs a fortress.

Both countries basically share borders with the West.

Moreover, the Zhang Zhung Kingdom is also adjacent to Hai'an.

A huge port is needed.

As the place where the Datang warships docked in the future.

This project will be bigger.

Need more time.

This is a waste of money and human and material resources.

Just the time required to build two giant fortresses.

It must be calculated by year.

And this period of expenditure.

It can be said that there are expenses that come and go.

Li Ke took Di Renjie into the study.

"You come with me."

Di Renjie followed in silently.

In the study, Li Ke took out a blueprint.

"This is the design drawing of the fortress, do you have any questions?"

Di Renjie was at a loss.
