Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye stared at Kang Bao, with a trademark smirk slowly appearing on his face, and asked softly, "Brother Bao, if you were a Tibetan nobleman, would you like our Datang porcelain?"

"If you were a Tibetan nobleman, would you like our Tang Dynasty silk?"

"...Would you like our Tang's fine wines?"

"...Would you like our Datang's tea?"

"...would you like it..."

Guo Ye recounted everything that the Tang Dynasty possessed, all of which were special products that the Tubo people did not have, and only the Tang Dynasty had.

Kang Bao was in a daze when he heard this, but Shang was still sober, and muttered: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Tibetans don't like it, so why come to Tang Dynasty for a high price?"

"bingo!"

Guo Ye clasped his palms lightly, and continued to ask: "If there are rumors in Tubo that our special products of the Tang Dynasty are widely spread, and the nobles of Tubo pursue a luxurious life all day long, and the whole country of Tubo is proud of owning special products of the Tang Dynasty? What will happen to them?"

"Of course it's unintentional farming, unintentional military affairs, unintentional... huh? I understand~~!"

Kang Bao suddenly realized, looked at Guo Ye with wide eyes in disbelief, and murmured: "You are going to pass, pass, hey, I can't tell, anyway, you want to disintegrate, disintegrate the spirit and will of the Tubo people? Yes No?"

Guo Ye's proud expression appeared on his face, he nodded, and added in his heart, this is called dumping, dumping all pleasure items that can disintegrate the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Then Guo Ye added: "If, I said, if every one of the Tubo people fell in love with the fine wines and wines of our Datang, and our big market suddenly ran out of stock, and the Tubo people secretly learned the brewing technology, how much would it be?" OK."

Kang Bao answered subconsciously: "Then they will definitely be deprived of the food in Tubo and make wine for themselves. At that time, there will be a food shortage in Tubo, and even food will become a problem."

"They don't have enough to eat, how can they have the energy to fight? Hehe, fight? I think it's hard for Kang to fight, and they fight a messy battle!"

Hearing Guo Ye's last words, Kang Bao was already convinced, so convinced that he gave a thumbs up and gave a thumbs up:

"Brother, it's cruel enough, poisonous enough, vicious enough!"

Grandma's, Guo Ye was speechless for a while, is it bad enough?Is there such a boast?

Seeing that Kangbao was a little too optimistic, Guo Ye had to seriously remind: "Of course, this is a long-term plan, and I will set it as a five-year plan. Within five years, I will make the national strength of the Tubo Kingdom not only If it cannot be improved, it must be reduced by at least [-]%.”

five year Plan?

Kang Bao chanted another new term that came out of Guo Ye's mouth, which was quite fresh and interesting.

Immediately stated: "Cheng, brother, brother, write to my father now, I will let you stay on the border of Tubo for five years, and accompany you to guard the border, and by the way, let's see how you can reduce the national power of Tubo by [-]% within five years." .”

Guo Ye stretched out his right hand, high-fived with Kang Bao, and said loudly: "No problem, just wait and see!"

After high-fiving the covenant, Guo Ye saw that Kang Bao was about to rush out to write a letter, grabbed him, and said, "There is no rush to write the letter, I still need your help with something here. Staff staff, after all, among our group of people, you are the only one who has stayed in the barracks and can give me more pertinent advice."

Kang Bao stopped in his tracks, nodded and agreed, "Okay, bro, whatever you say, that's what you say!"

Chapter 259 The Idea of ​​the East Factory

Guo Ye could tell that after knowing his five-year plan, Kang Bao's mood was very excited, and he was very excited.

The expression of joy and anger is a kind of frank expression.

Then he smiled and said: "Brother Bao, this is the situation. It is estimated that there will be another ten or so geniuses, and our merit list will be sent to Chang'an by the Baili Kuaiqi arranged by Su Lang. I believe it will take a month, and the short In half a month, the imperial court's rewards will come down. Although these two great achievements are not unparalleled, they are of great significance. Even if we only made a small contribution, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely respect us Reward. Then..."

"I know all of this." Kang Baoyi interrupted Guo Ye's words without hesitation, and hurriedly urged, "Brother, you should talk about the main point. It doesn't matter if you get promoted or not. I just want to fight with the Tubo people on the battlefield in the future." Fight hard and fast, and it is not in vain for our good man to come to this world."

"Uh……"

After Guo Ye laid the groundwork for so long, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Kang Bao, and he lost face and was speechless for a while.

Alright, let's get straight to the point.

Immediately said: "That's it. If my prediction is correct, the number of our border guards will be awarded together with the imperial court's reward in a few days. The border line from Ali Tucheng to Tuva City, and then to Yumenguan is about a few hundred miles away." The length can at least earn a 3000-man establishment. But our Longxi Army lost more than a thousand after two battles, so..."

"I understand!"

Kang Bao interrupted Guo Ye's speech again and said, "You mean to expand the recruitment, don't you?"

Guo Ye nodded and said: "That's right, but this is just one of them. It's not difficult to recruit and expand. When the time comes, I will write a letter to Sun Mingyan of the Cao Gang and ask him to send a thousand Long Xierlang to the frontier."

"What about the second one?"

Hearing this, Guo Ye immediately smiled with great interest: "Secondly, I am looking for your advice. At that time, I want to divide the arms of the Longxi Army into four and form three armies and one factory. What do you think?" ?”

"Divide the arms into four, and build three armies and one factory? Haha, this is interesting. Brother, I can guess the point of the three armies. Isn't it the pike soldiers, the sword and shield soldiers, and the cavalry that you miss every day."

Kang Bao seemed to know the big things, and said mysteriously: "I heard that you hacked Yang Tai's racecourse. You hid it from my brother and me for a long time, but you don't Is it authentic?"

Numb, Guo Ye's face turned green, and which tongue-chewing bastard leaked the news?It must be the kid Cheng Erniu, who didn't know his last name after being fed two cups of horse urine by Kang Bao.

But now there is no need to hide Kang Bao's matter about the racecourse. This kid has made up his mind to defend the border with him for five years, plus his relationship with his Kang family father and son, he can be regarded as a trustworthy person.

Immediately smiled awkwardly: "Brother Bao, you misunderstood, what is the relationship between us? I can't hide this from you. Isn't this busy with this and that every day recently? Forget it, just forgot it for a while. "

Kang Bao was very frank as a bachelor, he shook his head indifferently and said: "Don't talk about it, anyway, it's enough to give brother a first-class war horse when the time comes, otherwise I can't control my bad mouth."

Guo Ye is ashamed, a war horse can handle it?Why are you so promising.

Kang Bao didn't have the twists and turns like Guo Ye, but instead asked curiously: "By the way, the three armies and one factory, what the hell is that factory?"

"East Factory!"

Guo Ye's words were concise and to the point, he directly plagiarized the concept of the old Zhu family from the Ming Dynasty.

Kang Bao is a little confused, what is this Dongchang?Whether it is the six ministries of the imperial court, or the military offices of the states, or even the forbidden army, the frontier army, have you never heard of the "Dongchang" Yamen?

Unable to figure it out, he asked generously, "What is this Dongchang?"

Guo Ye pondered for a while. The Dongchang was founded by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di. It was full of eunuchs and eunuchs. They were the most trusted secret service and secret police agencies used by their old Zhu family to maintain power and rule.

But when it came to his mouth, the taste changed, and the original meaning was tampered with, explaining: "East Factory, it was my whim, and another department was set up directly under me, specializing in intelligence collection."

Specialized intelligence?

Kang Bao somewhat understood, and verified, "You purposely set up such a separate East Factory, does that mean the same as scouts in the army?"

Scouts and scouts are designed to open the way for the army, to scout and collect all useful information from the enemy.

Guo Ye nodded and shook his head again, and said, "Although we miss, it's not far away."

wrong?

Kang Bao became more interested, and urged again: "Tell me, tell me quickly."

Guo Ye explained: "Dongchang, this is a special department that exists for all useful intelligence. It is not only used to steal and collect all relevant information of the other side when the two armies are fighting, but also can target the enemy's country, opponent, Collect information that is beneficial to us. For example, arrange secret spies to infiltrate the Tubo kingdom, disguise themselves as Tubo traffickers, slaves and servants in the Tubo noble family, and even servants in the Tubo court, all for the purpose of collecting information."
