But now he discovered that these people actually didn't need his pull at all, and they had gradually lost themselves in the prosperity of high officials and generous salaries.

Perhaps what they yearn for is the delicious and delicious life of today, and this kind of life has wiped out their aggressiveness, and they simply cannot bear the pain of re-learning with a bunch of youngsters.

Even some people not only won't keep up with this kind of footsteps, but also frantically want to block Datang's progress, hoping that everyone will stay in that glorious moment like themselves, but they don't know that the road ahead is even more brilliant.

Or they know that they are just afraid of falling behind, so they simply hope that everyone will not make progress.

However, as an emperor, Li Shimin naturally couldn't stop Datang's footsteps. Now Zhang Nuo gave them enough opportunities, but they still did so.

This made Li Shimin, who had been persuading Zhang Nuo to give them a chance, a little disheartened!

That's right, the person who really pulled Zhang Nuo over to persuade Zhang Nuo to give these people a chance was actually Li Shimin, Zhang Nuo's lazy nature, at most, he was pulling people to help him, and doing the work honestly according to what he said and arranged just fine.

On weekdays, when did he discuss too specific matters with these people, he only discussed with Li Shimin, and then either threw it to Li Shimin and asked him to arrange it, or directly arranged for the people below to implement it.

Why do you want to find a job that you are uncomfortable with, and you can arrange it directly, but you have to discuss it?

However, this time it was Zhang Nuo who was persuaded by Li Shimin. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Nuo felt that he really wanted to help the existing group of civil servants and generals in Datang to make progress slowly, so he agreed.

But judging from the results, not to mention completely disappointing, it was far from meeting Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo's initial expectations, which made them both a little disheartened.

Especially Li Shimin, he sincerely hopes that these courtiers can follow in the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty and make progress together, compose a song of triumph of the emperor and ministers, and even a hundred years later, they can leave a good story about the emperor and ministers in the history books.

But looking back, he led everyone forward with good intentions, but it turned out that Zhang Nuo had ulterior motives in wasting the treasury?

Zhang Nuo has nothing to say. He is not familiar with these people. He is basically a nod acquaintance. Moreover, he has a team he cultivated by himself. He can do well without these people. In the future, those people will be handed over to Li Chengqian. In his hands, and he himself will not continue to train people to form a continuous talent echelon, the real sad person is Li Shimin!

Chapter 779

Just when people like Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin began to think about how to deal with Fusang, they didn't know that the news had already reached Fusang.

Perhaps to put it another way, the two of them knew this would happen a long time ago, but they didn't care about it at all.

For Li Shimin, he is really generous, because he believes what Zhang Nuo said, then under the panic of the Tang Dynasty, Fusang will be shattered like dust. His self-confidence is also the confidence of a commander who has conquered the world for many years!

As far as Zhang Nuo is concerned, what he believes in is the knowledge he has learned from his descendants over the years and the confidence that Datang developed under his leadership.

Are you kidding me, is he afraid of Fusang's monkeys?

The reason why he was careful in the drills and all kinds of preparations was because he was reluctant to let the soldiers he had trained so hard accidentally die, but if he was worried about the success or failure of the Fusang Battle because of this, that would be nothing. It's blind.

Zhang Nuo never worried about this, and even he was not opposed to sacrifice, as long as someone dared to surrender or run for his life on the battlefield, unless he fainted or was injured and captured.

Otherwise, as long as there are those who voluntarily surrender to the enemy, defect, or run for their lives, they will kill each other when they see them!

He has always opposed unnecessary sacrifices and reckless strategies, but he has always believed that soldiers should not be afraid of death. After all, in his opinion, if they lose their bravery, then soldiers are no different from trash.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo was never afraid of war, let alone rejecting war. Whenever someone came to his door, or if there was something Zhang Nuo cared about at home, Zhang Nuo's first choice would definitely be to send troops!

It is also because whether it is Zhang Nuo or Li Shimin, they have already made all preparations.

Therefore, the two of them didn't care about the leakage of the news at all, so even the poor people in the city a little far away from Chang'an City knew that Datang was going to attack a small country called Fusang, and their leader actually claimed to be the emperor of Richu Kingdom. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was called the Son of Heaven at Sunset.

I can’t bear this shit anymore. Now that the Tang Dynasty is booming, everyone’s life is pretty good, and the sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. This looks down on the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, isn’t it just looking down on the Tang Dynasty? Doesn't Datang look down on us, so of course he wants to beat him up.

The real reason for sending troops was well protected by Li Shimin and others. After all, those schemes are things that can be done but can’t be said in this era. We can’t let the big guys know that Datang is because he has no money and is greedy for other people’s family to have a big silver mine, so Find a reason to kill people.

However, there must be righteousness in order to launch this active war, otherwise it will be a bit ugly, and there will be rumors everywhere in the country.

Then the matter of insulting Datang in the national book seems just right. First of all, this matter is true, and it has been published in the newspapers, so it is not a fake.

Secondly, it is true that Datang has occupied the righteousness of this matter, so he can deal with the other party in a fair and honest manner. The best thing is that this matter does not need to be hidden, just let it out.

Well, the people of Datang did support the war, after all, the people of Datang are relatively high-spirited now.

But after the news spread, there was a small side effect, that is, the members of the missions who came to Datang to "seek the truth" all knew about it.

To them, this is news that the sky is falling. The longer they stay in Datang, the more they know how powerful Datang is.

Compared with Datang, Fusang is no longer an analogy at the same level. Whether it is national power, financial power, military strength or other aspects, there is no comparison at all. You must know that Fusang is still in chaos at this time.

In fact, Zhang Nuo is very clear about this point, because in fact, Fusang will not be officially called "the first year of Dahua" until 646 AD, which is the 20th year of Zhenguan, and it will be reformed through Dahua. , so that the social and political changes in Fusang.

This incident is known as the Otomi Change in history. The reformers took the legal system of the Tang Dynasty as a blueprint, considered the old habits of Fusang, and carried out reforms from the economic to the political aspects. Strictly divide the status system of good and bad.

In other words, it will take more than ten years for Fusang to gradually have a little bit of appearance known to later generations, and "Dahua" is also the first reign name of Fusang in history.

The person who is in power today is actually a very famous figure in the history of later generations of Fusang, "Prince Shotoku". Although the emperor in name is the first female emperor of Fusang, "Emperor Tuiko", the real regent is indeed that "Holy Shotoku" Prince De!"

It was also he who promoted many innovations in Fusang, including sending a large number of overseas students, businessmen, monks, etc. to the Central Plains, and vigorously promoted reforms in Fusang.

At the same time, it is precisely because they have been sending people to the Central Plains continuously since the Sui Dynasty, so in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are actually many people who look like Tang people on the surface, but in fact they are just Fusang people.

Many Fusang people stayed in the Central Plains because they admired the culture of the Central Plains and longed for the prosperity here, completely treating themselves as people from the Tang Dynasty.

But there are also some people who have been really brainwashed and vowed to be loyal and serve their lord to the death. After they got the news that Datang was going to attack Fusang, almost the first thing they thought of was to go back to Fusang to report the letter.

At the beginning, Prince Shotoku almost snorted when he received the news, he just threw it aside and ignored it, but slowly, when he received the news continuously, it was different people who got the news from different channels, Especially after the envoys got the news, Prince Shotoku was stunned and panicked.

No wonder he was stunned, he didn't know that others didn't know, Fusang is so poor now that there is not enough minerals and food, so there is no value of encroachment at all.

Could it be that Datang really provoked us because of our letter of credence?

And as for panic, that's understandable, it would be strange if he didn't panic!

In the eyes of today's Fusang people, especially those aristocrats who have news channels or even commercial channels in the Central Plains, the land of the Central Plains is a proper and outstanding kingdom of heaven. It was already scary enough in the Sui Dynasty. Now Become Datang, look at the movement in the past few years, it has only been a few years, the surrounding area has been wiped out, all those who bullied Datang have been wiped out, what should Fusang do?

Chapter 780 Fuso's Leading Party

In fact, it is not to blame that the people in Fusang are panicking, it is really the current Datang that "has a bad reputation"!

Such things as national power and military power are actually hard to feel intuitively without the statistics and release of later generations.

However, there is one thing that is very intuitive, and that is war.

The relationship between countries has always been very direct. If you have big fists, you have reason, and if you have big fists, you can bully others. The place where big fists can best reflect it is naturally war, and prestige is all earned.

Fusang didn't know about other things, but they knew that during the Sui Dynasty, the national power of the Central Plains was already very strong, otherwise they wouldn't have dug a Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is undoubtedly a miracle in the eyes of others.

But it was such a powerful Sui Dynasty, when facing Goryeo, it still had a dismal end, and finally even lost itself.

Of course, there are various other problems, such as command, logistics, etc., but there is one thing everyone has to admit, that is, Goryeo is indeed a hard bone, otherwise the Sui will be the first During the second Eastern Expedition, he had to be wiped out.

But such a hard bone was in the hands of Datang, and it was useless to mobilize the whole country. It was the already famous King Qin who brought 20 private troops and wiped it out, and not only Korea, but also Silla Baekje. Well, it was completely wiped out like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

Then, in a situation that Fusang couldn't understand at all, Datang, who had just wiped out several countries in Koryo, didn't seem to need to accumulate strength at all, so he turned around and wiped out Turks completely, and then Tubo became Datang together.

This Nima is scary!

Although the people in Fusang are relatively ignorant, the nobles at the top are somewhat knowledgeable. If a country can continuously sweep up the surrounding countries while the country is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it can only show that this country is in the same position as other countries in terms of national strength. And in terms of military strength, it is not a dimensional existence at all.

What's more, they don't know the actual situation of Tubo and Turks, but because Silla Baekje is relatively close to them, they are very clear. The development here is better than that of Fusang.

But in the end, wouldn't it still be wiped out by Datang?

Well, now that such a monstrous beast is about to attack Fusang, everyone is panicking.

After knowing the news from Datang, some people actually shouted to hand over the words of Emperor Tuigu's apology. Anyway, in their opinion, as long as they can calm down Datang's anger and preserve their own homeland, then If the emperor is gone, he will be gone.

However, how would they know that what Datang cares most about is not a bird emperor at all.

Moreover, ants are greedy for life, let alone an emperor who has military power and financial power in his hands. This is not the time when the later generations have a constitutional monarchy. All the kings at this time are really powerful and have horses.

Therefore, this small group of people can only yell twice at most, and the vast majority of people are in a state of being anxious but don't know how to deal with it.

After all, there is naturally a sea barrier between them and Datang. At this time, Fusang's shipbuilding skills are not good at all. It can be said that going back and forth between Fusang and the Central Plains is like a gamble.

Although now they heard that Datang already had a new type of sea-going ship, judging from their poor imagination, it might only be a little bigger, so not many soldiers would come.

At that time, Datang will directly hit Asuka in Nara, which is the capital of Fusang at this time, and it will be fine to kill the Emperor Tuigu or take him away. Anyway, the big guy will do his best. The army and family soldiers fill it in, how much is enough.

Even some people have secretly made up their minds to be the leading party at that time, after all, they know very well that they are not enough to give Datang a gap between their teeth.

Instead of fighting for nothing at that time, why not join the camp of the Heavenly Dynasty and Shangguo? You must know that they understand that any large family in Datang has hundreds of guards inside. The top family on their side is still Can't get together so many professional sergeants.

Not to mention those who have been to Chang'an and stayed for a period of time, they are very clear about the real Tang Dynasty's top nobles, especially the generals' families. On Zhuangzi, gathering hundreds or thousands of people is a matter of one sentence.

But as for them, if they send a hundred or so people, they will have to call the army to conquer them, but on the other side of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Qin can destroy the country with his own "private army", and there are 20 people Fully armed private army.

Damn, the combined population of these people in their sphere of influence is probably less than 20.

In Fusang, submitting to the strong has never been a shameful thing, and even the reverse is a kind of honor.

So, in fact, at this moment, how many people in Fusang are planning to fight to the end, and how many people have long been looking forward to it, then I really don't know.

However, for Zhang Nuo, Fusang's dynamics and ideas are not important, anyway, those minerals will not run away with long legs, let alone some forces will seize the time to dig the minerals away.

To put it bluntly, he is really not afraid of others digging, and even hopes that someone will dig out the ore at this moment. Wouldn't it be more satisfying for him to bring people over to pick up the ready-made ore directly.

His only thought now is to make all the preparations, get the exercise done first, and then push all the way to win the battle of Fusang.

No, at this time, he has brought Li Chengqian and a group of entourages to inspect the area where the exercise is about to start. The craftsmen here will take their families and luggage to Busan Port after finishing their work here. A group of artisans who are also the largest group have already passed away, and they are just waiting for them to meet in the past.

In other words, this place is actually just doing some work along the way. After all, the requirements here are simply too low. There is no decoration inside, and there is no intention to live in it, so I don’t care if there are wood thorns on it, or whether it is painted or not. It's solid, it looks like a house!

Except for the small row of city walls at the outermost edge of the exercise area, which are made of stones, all the houses are built by processing the trees that were cut down nearby. Because they are disposable items, Zhang Nuo can really do it. Saving is saving, after all, it has to be blown up anyway, right?

Chapter 781 Inspection Preparations

Although Li Chengqian has seen the airship many times, and even visited it, it was the first time he actually sat on it for a long-distance flight.

He is really curious about the airship and the scenery outside the window, as if everything is so fresh.

Zhang Nuo lay lazily on his special recliner, and remembered Li Chengqian's restless eyes casting around. In fact, this kid seemed very sensible, but he was still a child after all. Isn't it the time when children are most curious?

So Zhang Nuo touched Li Chengqian's small head twice, and then said with a smile,

"If you want to see it, just walk around and have a look. There is no need to hold back. Uncle Zhang is really tired of sitting on this thing. This is the first time you come up, so take a good look. If you don't understand, just ask Cao Xing them!"

Li Chengqian nodded happily, first saluted Zhang Nuo in a proper manner as a thank you for Zhang Nuo's arrangement, and then trotted all the way to the front of the window.

As the captain of the guard beside Zhang Nuo, Cao Xing doesn't need to do anything else on the airship at this time, but he must be in charge of the prince here, after all, his main duty is to do this.

Li Chengqian looked at the smaller and smaller houses on the ground and Chang'an City in the distance with great interest, and suddenly felt that it was really the right time for him to come out this time, otherwise how could he enjoy this kind of treatment.

You must know that Datang's control over airships is very strict at this time. Except for Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, no one else has the right to deploy airships.

Moreover, if you want to take an airship, apart from those staff members who have been audited for countless times, occasionally Li Shimin will arrange for someone to take the airship to do something along the way, and that must be reported in advance.

After all, Zhang Nuo understands airships very well. The safety factor is too low, especially for those who have not received safety training. If you are not careful, you can cause big troubles.

Therefore, after Zhang Nuo made it clear to Li Shimin, he was extremely strict with the transportation of airships. Even if someone occasionally needed Zhang Nuo's airship for personnel transportation, they would be accompanied by someone who would remind them of the safety rules throughout the process. .

It is also because of this that Li Chengqian has never had the opportunity to come up and take a good flight. After all, apart from his status as the prince, his only real serious job is the assistant of the city lord of Lantian City, which is not embarrassing or embarrassing. They don't even know how to calculate the rank, but Li Chengqian went there but was happy.

However, there are good and bad, you can't expect an assistant to the city lord of Lantian City to go on a business trip, so don't even think about the airship, and Li Chengqian is definitely not there.

Seeing Li Chengqian's happy look, Zhang Nuo naturally wouldn't be a villain. Isn't it normal for a child of this age to be a little curious.

Besides, when he was flying for the first time, he wished he could stick his head out of the window and look at it.

Moreover, Zhang Nuo knew very well that no matter how beautiful the blue sky and white clouds were, it was just that if he saw too much of them. At least for Zhang Nuo, he was really tired of looking at these scenery.

Li Chengqian's excitement didn't last long. After all, the direct flight from Lantian City to Koryo is not a short journey. It's really stupid to look all the way, and it's estimated that the legs will be useless.

Zhang Nuo's airship landed directly in the exercise area. His own airship is convenient. It is just like a private jet. You can fly whenever you want, and you can fly wherever you want. Route approval.

After Zhang Nuo took Li Chengqian off the airship, he walked directly to the town that was built almost overnight.

Zhang Nuo looked all the way, and found that everything was basically done according to his requirements, and finally a stone fell to the ground in his heart.

The Zuo Wuwei over there has already started to assemble and march. Because it is the first time for the air force to participate in the exercise, and this exercise will also determine the future battle arrangements, it is a good way to toss those who are still learning. Little boys.

The battlefield is not just a bloody battlefield, but also a vanity fair for all soldiers to show themselves. As long as you have the strength, as long as you dare to fight, you will definitely get something, but if you don’t even have a chance to play, Hehe, no matter how capable you are, you can only watch at home.

Zhang Nuo didn't stay in the exercise area for a long time. After all, all he had to do was look at it. Anyway, it would be destroyed when the time came, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

The next thing he is going to is Busan Port, which will be a strategic focus of the entire Koryo in the next year or two. As long as Busan Port can be built quickly and stand upright, then the Fusang strategy will be half successful. The strategy of Busan Port The effect can be seen from this.

The itinerary from the exercise area to Busan Port is much easier than before, and in comparison, the seaside climate of Busan Port is more comfortable in this season.

Zhang Nuo took Li Chengqian to stand by the sea and looked at the busy construction site in front of him, thinking about the prosperity of the port in the future.

However, those are things for the future. The most important thing now is the construction of the entire port area. As a port area that is more military than commercial, it will be a little different from the beginning, at least ordinary commercial port areas will not be like Considering so many defense equipment and defense measures in this way now.

At the same time, Zhang Nuo had already arranged various plans such as military camps and military material warehouses early on. These things are not available in ordinary port areas, and they also need to be planned in advance.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible for the army to share a warehouse area with private businessmen?How about security?

Li Chengqian also entered the state at this time, following Zhang Nuo's side to observe constantly. When he first came here, the child who saw the sea for the first time was still admiring the wonder of nature. At this time, he had no intention of looking at the sea. Because Zhang Nuo's words stunned him.

"If you really like looking at the sea so much, then let me supervise the construction here!"
