Datang Live Room

To be honest, Yan Kai's operation was a bit too advanced.

None of the country leaders thought that this could happen.

But after confirming that what Yan Kai said was true, they began to feel happy.

No matter what the purpose of Datang was, from their perspective at this time, land and population were real resources.

Yan Kai also guaranteed that as long as the Tang Dynasty had control of a certain area in the west, all the land and population of Goryeo could be sold to them.

For Fuso, he even allowed the nobles of Fuso to participate as a family unit.

Brother Shanbei finally figured it out.

This time, these Fuso nobles gathered tens of thousands of people to attack Pyongyang.

But the results were not great, and only a few small towns near Pyongyang were defeated by them.

Pyongyang was eventually occupied by the Datang army that arrived.

It means that they have not taken much advantage. At this time, they will naturally complain about the Fuso government of the eldest brother Shanbei.

And by doing this now, Yan Kai gave them a second chance.

These nobles have already seen from Fuso's recent reforms that Yamabeko's elder brother is determined to consolidate the emperor's real power and weaken the rights of the nobles.

At this time, it is really better to leave a way out for yourself overseas.

After thinking about it, Brother Wang Shanbei was so moved!

Mr. Yan was still kind to him, and he actually allowed the Fuso nobles to participate as a family unit for his own sake.

Didn’t you see that neither Silla nor Baekje had such treatment?

This plan actually has the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

The affairs of the world do not depend on the lack of balance.

Yan Kai will soon send people to sneak into Baekje, Silla, to promote the fact that the Fuso nobles can subscribe to the territory of Goryeo.

This isn't even a rumor but a fact.

At that time, the nobles of Silla and Baekje will definitely have resentment towards their respective royal families.

The more internal thoughts these countries have, the more beneficial it will be to Datang.

The date agreed upon to carve up the territory of Goryeo was December 12th, which was more than ten days later.

Yan Kaicai sent several kings away.

Anyway, the nobles in Fuso who were interested in Goryeo were basically near Pyongyang at this time, so they had enough time.

"Then I will leave all the responsibility for the Korean affairs to you!"

Li Shimin said to Yan Kai: "I plan to leave the army and return to the court tomorrow, but don't worry, I will leave an army of 50,000 to Su Dingfang to support you."

These 50,000 troops will be used to control the areas they occupy and protect the safety of the mining areas.

"Yes!" Yan Kai said with a low eyebrow.

"I heard that your people started moving iron ore in Maoshan today. It's not far from Maoshan. Let's go and take a look."

Li Shimin changed the subject and said.

"Your Majesty, is there no need for this?" Yan Kai looked at Li Shimin and his words were full of sincere emotions: "Your Majesty has traveled thousands of miles and has to rush back to Chang'an tomorrow. The journey has been tiring, so why not take a rest early. "

"Ha!" Li Shimin chuckled: "There are no outsiders here, so don't pretend to be me, I just always feel like something is wrong!"

"What... could be wrong with this?" Yan Kai said with a smile: "Didn't we agree from the beginning that my people can move the iron ore at the Maoshan Iron Mine? You even specially called General Su to see it. With..."

"Su Dingfang has no problem fighting, but I always feel like I can't play tricks on you!" Li Shimin stared at Yan Kai: "You're not really playing tricks on me, are you?"

"How can I do that?" Yan Kai said innocently: "Anyway, I came as promised. His Majesty can go whenever he wants. You can't just go and deny it, right?"

So the two of them left Pyongyang City without any large troops, just a few hundred light cavalry.

Now that the forces of old Goryeo have been almost wiped out, there will be no danger.

Before arriving at Maoshan, Li Shimin heard rumbling thunder in the distance.

Even the ground beneath his feet was trembling slightly, and the horse under the seat even hesitated uneasily.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin asked with a frown, and the voice came from Maoshan.

He wouldn't believe it if Yan Kai had nothing to do with it.

"Just..." Yan Kai rubbed his hands, and then said in a bachelor's manner: "It's just my subordinates who are mining. Maybe there's a lot of noise."

Is this too big? This place is still seven or eight miles away from Maoshan.

Li Shimin whipped his horse twice and led the men towards the Maoshan Iron Mine.

It is said to be the Mushan Iron Mine, but in fact most of the iron here is in the open air.

When Li Shimin arrived, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Not to mention the billowing smoke and dust in the mining area, the key is the people standing next to it.

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty naturally wore military uniforms. Because this mining area was a top priority, Li Shimin specially sent nearly 10,000 troops to station here.

But now there were more people wearing uniform blue clothes standing next to him than his 10,000-strong army.

Either one person is pushing a cart, or two people are controlling a cart.

"Yan! Open!" Li Shimin shouted two words through his teeth.

"I'm here!" Yan Kai is now a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water: "Your Majesty, the people of Kuoding County happened to be on Spring Festival holiday recently. I heard that the scenery here in Gaoli is different, so they all want to come over for a trip..."

In the entire Maoshan mining area, there are almost 30,000 young men and women from Kuoding County.

At this time, seeing that the smoke and dust in the mining area had almost dissipated, I started pushing the cart down to pick up iron ore.

At this time, Su Dingfang also saw Li Shimin and the others and came over quickly.

Then he said carefully: "This... His Majesty and Yan Zhixian said that their people can move iron ore from this mining area once... so I will..."

"..." Li Shimin took a deep breath and then said slowly: "It's not your fault!"

I had long expected that Yan Kai was dishonest. When he made the agreement with me, I only thought that he would take more than a thousand Kuoding troops. I was also thinking about how much iron ore could be moved by these more than a thousand Kuoding troops.

I even felt a little sorry for Yan Kai in my heart. After all, he had such a big contribution, and he was just a child. Why did he want to get more iron ore for the county?

Now I know that there was only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname.

It's not without reason that this kid is called a Tang gangster by people here.

The key is that the word "little gangster" is preceded by the word "Tang Dynasty", which is so embarrassing.

I should have given him a cousin named Yan Bantie!

Is it too late to change now?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Yan Kai chuckled. It seemed that he was a little embarrassed about this matter in front of Li Shimin.

"Well... the government will start mining here in the future, and we in Kuoding County will definitely support it!"

Anyway, Maoshan iron ore has large reserves, with total reserves of 28 billion tons.

Don't think that this is destructive mining. With Datang's current smelting level, such destructive mining can last for at least a hundred years.

The iron ore is about to go into his pocket, and it is impossible to spit it out. The most he can do is pay Li Shimin some explosives for blasting the ore.
