Take the mall to Datang

"You have done a good job. I think the Datang Fleet should be managed by you first. I hope you will abide by your heart and don't disappoint me." Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, I have a lot of things to do. The Tang Fleet..." Yuan Shan said, but was interrupted by Li Shimin, and said: "The matter has been decided in this way. I believe you can take on this important task. Besides the development of the fleet, you We also need to let the sea soldiers monitor the movements of Goguryeo, and according to the analysis of the news brought back by Chen Dade's mission to Goguryeo, Goguryeo will definitely become a serious problem for my Tang Dynasty in the future, so we must make preparations early, you should be clear about this."

Yuan Shan knew it, but could he say it? Of course he couldn't.

"Your Majesty, please think twice about the fleet." Yuan Shan said.

"That's it. Besides, there are less than [-] sailors now. Since this is the case, let's train another [-], and the money will come from the treasury." Li Shimin said.

"Still practicing." Yuan Shan thought in his heart but didn't dare to say it out.

"I still have to visit Donghai Prefecture. Time is very tight. I can make up for it. You can arrange it." Li Shimin said.

"Okay, since other than that, let's set sail today." Yuan Shan said bluntly.

As for the ministers who followed, most of them went directly to Mount Tai.

Three days later, Li Shimin landed on Kyushu Island and saw that the Datang Trading Company was built like a small castle. He went in and visited it, but he was quite satisfied. There were a variety of high-end houses everywhere. It was amazing to see. pleasing to the eye.

"I heard that the toilet paper produced in Donghai Prefecture is very famous in Chang'an. I want to have a look." Li Shimin said.

"The factory area of ​​the paper factory is not far from here, so we can visit it now," Yuan Shan said.

No matter what, Li Shimin has already gone to Donghai Prefecture. He, the main person in charge, will definitely come back, along with the deputy governor Zhang Liang, Zhang Shenwei and Gao Biaoren from the Cangzhou Economic and Development Department, and all the main people will come back. .

The subsequent introductions were all handed over to Gao Biaoren. He is the main person in charge of the Economic and Development Department of Donghai Prefecture and knows more details than him.

Gao Biaoren was very proud in his heart. When he was demoted by the emperor, it was Duke Lan who dragged him with his skills to make him achieve what he is today.

What he is proud of is that he is standing here now, except Yuan Shan's optimism is based on his ability. Even though he is very unhappy with this emperor, he still dutifully introduces the development of Kyushu Island to everyone.

Li Shimin saw that the workshop of the governor of Donghai was developing very well, and everywhere seemed more lively than Cangzhou, and the construction team was the most seen so far.

Although the population is small, construction is everywhere, the roads are wide and the business is very good, the distribution of factories is reasonable, the fishery is developed, and the agricultural development is also quite good. The resources of the island line seem to be very rich. I believe it will not take a few years to develop like this. Donghai Prefecture will develop to the extent that it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the metropolis.

In particular, knowing that the construction progress of the four docks has completed the framework, it will be a great help for the future Datang Navy.

In the next few days, Li Shimin all lived in the Protectorate's Mansion. After learning about the situation, he was still working directly in Donghai Prefecture, and specially recruited many capable officials in some positions.

After the officials of the Executive Yuan inspect, review, and evaluate, some officials will be appointed, and then continue to enter the inspection period. After half a year, the work performance can be normalized.

The biggest hot spot in the past few days is that Shi Du Qianyu, the female head of the Governor's Mansion of Donghai Prefecture, has been affirmed and praised by Li Shimin for her outstanding ability.

Under Yuan Shandu's persuasion, Li Shimin agreed that women in Donghai Prefecture will be allowed to serve as administrative officials if they are capable, but the level is still very limited, and the highest level cannot exceed the fifth rank.

Yuan Shan felt that this was already good. This was a small breakthrough. The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests. Now there are many literate women in the Tang Academy. If they have outstanding abilities, there must be opportunities for them to display their abilities in the future.

The arrival of Li Shimin made Yuan Shan start to be serious. He went about his business every day, and his posturing left a good impression.

A week later, Li Shimin returned to Cangzhou on the Xiaolong, and Yuan Shan and others naturally followed him.

Changsun Wuji has been waiting for Li Shimin to come back in Cangzhou.

"Wuji, you act in a hurry, what happened?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an came to report that Xue Yantuo led more than 20 troops from Mobei towards Datang. The news was sent three days ago." Changsun Wuji worried.

Li Shimin will be calm and composed when the time comes, and will deal with such an important matter calmly.

"Wuji, don't panic. He Xue Yantuo is brave and good at fighting. Are we Tang soldiers weak? With Yuchi Jingde and Shubao here, don't worry too much." Li Shimin said.

His expression was indifferent, but it was not a trivial matter after all, and he had no idea, but this did not affect his next move to Mount Tai.

"Yuanshan." Li Shimin said suddenly.

"The minister is here." Yuan Shan responded immediately.

"During the time I went to Taishan, all the sales associations will be transferred from you, but the news must be delivered as soon as possible." Li Shimin said.

"Yes, we guarantee 24-hour standby." Yuan Shan said.

Li Shimin was a little puzzled, when did the ancient time divide into 24 hours, wasn't it twelve hours, but he didn't care.

The Xueyantuo tribe in Mobei has been on the road, and the spies have sent back the news of the front in real time. They already know the location of Ashina Simo's soldiers and horses.

After traveling for a long distance, they have already entered the territory of Monan, and the journey was unimpeded. To be on the safe side, they also divided into several teams and headed from different directions.

The spies from the Ashina Simo tribe came back immediately after discovering the soldiers and horses of Xue Yantuo's tribe. Now the Ashina tribe is in chaos.

"Ashina Simo Khan, our soldiers and horses are not enough for the battle, let's enter Tang Kingdom as agreed before." Zuo Xianwang Ashinazhong said.

"Yi Nan, I, Simo, will not let you go." Ashina Simo said fiercely.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Xue Yantuo's men came in menacingly.

Ashina Simo's soldiers and horses directly entered the territory of Tang Kingdom from Monan.

The person in charge of escorting is Datang consort guerrilla general Qiao Shiwang.

"Little general, Qiao Shiwang ask Simo Khan to let your troops hand over their weapons and horses." Qiao Shiwang said majestically while sitting on the horse holding a Tang saber.

"Little guerrilla general." Youxian King Ashina said with some resentment.

It's just that they all speak Turkic language, thinking that Tang people can't understand it.

But they were wrong, Qiao Shiwang was stationed in Bianchui all the year round, he answered some words of many tribes, especially Turkic language which he was familiar with, but he didn't say anything, he still used the translation.

"What, tell us to hand over our weapons and horses, that's not what His Majesty Tang said." Ashina Simo frowned and said coldly.

War horses and weapons, what have they become after handing them over? Although he intends to attach himself to Tang, the premise is to keep his Khan's dominance, but the current situation is not the same as he thought.

"Ashina Simo Khan, the Tang Kingdom is friendly to you. Hand over your weapons and horses. After the battle is over, His Majesty will give you an account. I am afraid that the Xue Yantuo tribe who came here will not begrudge your property and population, if you do this, we will embarrass our Tang country, and it is up to you to decide how to choose." Qiao Shiwang had a cold murderous intent in his eyes.

That's right, as long as they choose to go back, Ashina Simo will treat the enemy as the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and the [-] soldiers of the Tang Dynasty behind Qiao Shiwang will not give them any chance to escape.

Between life and death, this is the most critical plan mentioned in Yuan Shan's letter sent back to Li Shimin. When dealing with Turks, he wrote a sentence: "Wild fires can't burn out, and spring winds can give birth again. "

In fact, Li Shimin had realized this a long time ago. The Xue Yantuo faction was actually cultivated by him. After the Xue Yantuo tribe became stronger, he even brought his idea to the Tang Dynasty. How could he not be angry.

And judging from this matter, Turkic is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, so he will not adopt a gentle strategy this time. Surrender or destroy, choose one of the two, it's that simple.

For such a simple matter, it was a dilemma in front of Ashina Simo.Handing over their weapons and horses, they are like sheep without strength, ready to be slaughtered.

"Simo Khan, we can't do this, the worst is to rush back and kill a bloody path."

Right Wise King Ashi Nani raised an objection, saying: "Simo Khan, I cannot agree."
