Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

"Attack Silla and Baekje at the same time!?"

I heard this.

Civil and military officials were also shocked.

They thought that King Rongliu was afraid of Datang, but they didn't expect that he had ulterior motives.

If the Tang Dynasty established diplomatic relations with Goguryeo, it would be impossible to prevent Goguryeo from attacking Silla and Baekje.

Li Jing responded: "All of this is the idea of ​​the Goguryeo general, Yuan Gai Su Wen. This Yuan Gai Su Wen is an iron-handed military dictator, he is very domineering, and even King Rongliu doesn't pay attention to him."

"However, he does have some skills. It took only one year to end the internal struggle in Goguryeo. After all, the military power is firmly in his hands."

"Right now, King Rongliu and Yuan Gai Suwen are incompatible."

Li Er wondered: "If that's the case? Why did King Rongliu attack Silla and Baekje?"

All the officials in the palace were also puzzled and looked at Li Jing.

Qin Mu returned to the corner, drinking tea, eating pastries, and watching a play.

Li Jing explained: "Because the gap between King Rongliu and Yuan Gai Suwen has become wider and wider, to the point where it is almost unstoppable."

"If this continues, Goguryeo will definitely fall into a protracted internal war, which no one can stop."

"Goguryeo has just been unified, and it borders Silla and Baekje. If an internal war breaks out, no matter which side wins, Silla and Baekje will attack."

"Besides, to Goguryeo, Datang is also a fierce tiger waiting for an opportunity."

"So in order to divert internal conflicts, King Rongliu and Yuangai Suwen can only put aside their grievances and attack Silla and Baekje."

"This war is not only an external war, but also an internal war between King Rongliu and Yuan Gaisuwen."

Li Er and the civil and military officials were helpless.

Goguryeo is really brave enough to divert internal struggles by attacking other countries.

If the transfer of this contradiction is unsuccessful?

Why not bury Goguryeo?

"Heh..." Li Er sneered disdainfully, "Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu are really flamboyant."

"Aren't they afraid that the Southern Expedition will fail because of open and covert fighting?"

"Since the conflict between them has reached the point of irreconcilability, will the subordinates fight hand in hand?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "So, the general faction headed by Yuan Gai Suwen is attacking Silla this time, and the king faction headed by Gao Jianwu is attacking Baekje."

"I don't know if the two sides have reached a certain consensus or an agreement, anyway, they will take Silla and Baekje with thunder."

at this time.

The Korean and Chinese military officials also understood what Goguryeo was up to.

Followed by.

Li Er continued to ask: "Pharmacist, do you think we should do something?"

"Just watch Goguryeo annex Silla and Baekje?"

Li Er said and stood up.

Seeing Goguryeo's growing power, he must not be reconciled.

For hundreds of years, the Han family sacrificed many sons on the way to conquer Goguryeo.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is in its heyday, Li Erduan will not raise tigers.

He didn't have a good impression of Goguryeo.

Hear this time.

Qin Mu put down the cup in his hand and listened carefully.

He also didn't like Bangzi.

If he wants to attack Goguryeo, he has to blend in anyway.

Li Jing murmured: "Your Majesty, I believe that we should gather troops in Dengzhou and Liaodong to put pressure on Goguryeo."

"Now my Tang Dynasty has enough food and grass, we can afford it, but Goguryeo can't afford it."

Chapter 8: Li Er and Qin Mu's Business (5/5)

He listened to Li Jing's suggestion.

Li Er remained silent, thinking to himself.

Today's Datang is indeed not afraid of any war.

Although the national treasury is not very rich, fortunately, it can be borrowed from Qin Mu, not to mention food, and it should be no problem to conquer Goguryeo five or six times eastward.

the most important is.

Li Er wants to try the power of firearms.

Now the combat power of the Tang army is no longer what it used to be, and the artillery and firecrackers are enough to flatten Goguryeo.

Paused.

Li Er pondered: "I have no objection to sending troops to Liaodong and Dengzhou, but if we can't fight, who should pay for the military expenses?"

"Today's treasury is not rich."

Li Er said, looking at Qin Mu casually.

As soon as the cannon rang, the gold was ten thousand taels.

Unlike cannons, Li Er had to spend millions.

Qin Mu was thinking on the side.

According to the current situation, Gao Jianwu will definitely not send the captives back, nor will Silla, Baekje, and Yuangai Suwen.

This battle will definitely be fought.

at the same time.

Qin Mu stood up and murmured: "Your Majesty, Mangya Trading Company can afford the military expenses this time."

"Okay." Li Er hurriedly responded, "You can't ask for too much of your conditions, and I will agree to you."

Li Er was just waiting for Qin Mu to speak.

He definitely won't be taken advantage of.

If they are defeated, the gold, silver and treasures come for nothing. He can distribute them to Qin Mu.

Li Er and Qin Mu have been dealing with each other for so many years, this is a business that makes no money, and they don't do much.

Qin Mu mused, "I want to divide half of the things in Pyongyang City. Mangya Trading Company operates in the East China Sea Peninsula and is exempt from tax for five years."

what! ?

Li Er was shocked when he heard that.

You are really a lion with a big mouth.

"No!" Li Er hastily waved his hand, "Although your military expenses are mine, the food and grass belong to me, and so do the millions of troops. Besides, if there is a fight, you will surely make money."

"You just opened your mouth and gave away half of the things? And exempted from taxes for five years?"

"I don't agree, I firmly disagree."

The civil and military officials listened to the words of the two and smiled bitterly.

These fathers are good at it, and they treat war as a bargain, and you come and go, it really seems like that.

No one dared to interrupt.

Their little money is not enough to dispatch a regiment of troops.

"Is it a lot?" Qin Mu said lightly, "Your Majesty, this is the military expenditure of a million-dollar army, and it is not easy to transport the firearms to Liaodong. If I can't fight, I will have to pay tens of millions."

"The risk I take is much greater than yours."

"Furthermore, what I want is just ordinary things in the treasury of the Pyongyang city government. The ghost knows whether there are any valuable things in Pyongyang city. I will reduce taxes for up to three years, otherwise there will be no discussion."

I heard this.

Li Er thought for a while, then nodded, "Then according to your words, [-]% of the treasury will be taxed for three years."

Anyway, he didn't pay for the money in the end, and he didn't bother to bargain with Qin Mu, which showed that he was too low-level.

As soon as you listen to the battle.

The military officers in the palace are all gearing up and ready to go. Datang has developed rapidly and has not fought for several years.

One by one, they were all suffocated.

They all stepped forward to ask for a fight.

Followed by.

Li Er said in a deep voice: "Li Jing listens to the order."

"The end is here."

"I order you to be the general manager of the Hebei Road Army, leading the Zhenwu Army, Xuanjia Army, Firearms Army..., ten armies, 50 soldiers and horses, and rush to Liaodong immediately. Chen Bing is under the city of Huaiyuan, ready to fight Goguryeo goes to war."

"The last general takes orders."

"Li Ji listens to the order."

"The end is here."

"I ordered you to be the general manager of the Henan Road March, leading the Dengzhou Navy, Huainan Navy, Bohai Navy..., the Fifth Route Navy, and 20 navy troops to assemble in Dengzhou Bay and prepare to land at any time Goguryeo."

"The last general."

"Fang Xuanling obeys orders."

"Wei Chen is here."

"I order you to draft..."

......

Li Er was also short-tempered, and with Qin Mu, a local rich man, funding and sponsoring, of course the troops could be dispatched as soon as possible.

into the night.

Qin Mansion.

main hall.

Qin Mu and the others were having dinner in the living room, and Xue Rengui was also there, and he called here specially.

Eat half of the meal.

Qin Mu pondered: "Three ladies, I want to tell you one thing. Now Goguryeo is frantically sending troops to the southern border, preparing to attack Silla and Baekje."

"Your Majesty has an order to increase troops to Liaodong and Dengzhou, and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time."

"The military expenses this time will be borne by the Mangya Trading Company, and I want to go with the army as well."

heard.

The three people in Xiangcheng were all taken aback.

They hadn't come to speak yet.

Xue Rengui was very excited, and hurriedly put down his job, "What, there is a war to fight?"

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Mu, his eyes full of expectation.

The three people in Xiangcheng were speechless when they met, how could they be so excited about fighting.

Qin Mu nodded, "It's just an increase in troops, it's not certain whether they will fight or not."

"But if Goguryeo dares to attack, we must attack Goguryeo. Now Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to see Goguryeo grow strong."

"If Silla and Baekje are annexed, Goguryeo will be even more difficult to deal with in the future."

heard.
