Chapter 421 Boom!
Li Yuandao: "The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have just discussed these useless countermeasures? If there is a war on three sides, what should we fight with? Should we fight with the head?"
Li Shilong felt very embarrassed and helpless. Tubo had an inherent advantage and was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It cannot be conquered in a short time.
If the country has no money, it will be difficult to support a protracted war.
By conquering Jiaozhi, the imperial court made a lot of money, but not much.
If you just fight all the way and allocate hundreds of thousands of internal funds, that's fine.
But I'm afraid of a three-way war.
Li Yuan blew his beard and glared angrily, and finally had no choice but to sit back in the rocking chair. He had wanted to beat Tibet for a long time.
But the peace and prosperity has just begun, and I am afraid that this battle will destroy the peace that was finally won.
Li Shilong can endure it, but in many cases he doesn't want to endure it, but has to endure it.
Didn't he also suffer humiliation?
"Father, there is actually a fourth way!" Li Shilong said.
"Can you finish what you want to say at once?" Li Yuan snorted.
"Jingyun, I ask you, if you bring grenades and the cannons produced by Qinzhuang, can you defeat Tibet?" Li Shilong asked.
Several people looked at Qin Mo at the same time.
Qin Mo frowned and said: "Yes, it is possible, but the sky is high and the road is far away, so transportation is quite troublesome, and this season, it is much colder there than in the capital.
The most important thing is that if our soldiers go up, their hands and feet will be weak, right?"
"How did you know?" Li Shilong asked in surprise.
"My dad said that!" Qin Mo said, "Didn't I tell you earlier? When my dad came back before, he would brag about his heroic deeds every day, and I was tired of hearing it!"
Only then did Li Shilong understand that indeed, Qin Mo's farewell was not the result of listening to Qin Xiangru?
"Okay, don't interrupt Jing Yun!" Li Yuan said.
"Then I will continue." Qin Mo said: "Although I have never fought in a war, my father has. He talks about those tactics to me every day and forces me to memorize them every day. It's very annoying!
Tubo is in the southwest, with a high terrain, maybe several kilometers higher than the capital. The higher you go, the thinner the air. People who are not used to living there all year round will definitely have weak hands and feet.
It can even kill people if it’s serious!”
"Yes, it is indeed the case. When Emperor Zhou sent people to attack Tubo, many people died when they attacked. They didn't even see the enemy's soldiers, so that piece of land was called a cursed place!" Dou Xuanling said.
Qin Mo sneered, "What a cursed place, it just has too little air. As long as it takes a few days to adapt, it will be no problem at all.
Moreover, when the Tibetan people come down, they are not necessarily brave, they will also be drunk!"
Du Jingming asked: "What is drunk oxygen?"
"They have lived in Tubo where the air is thin all year round, and suddenly they came to us. We have good mountains, water, and good air. They sucked in the oxygen all of a sudden.
However, intoxicated oxygen does not cause high reaction in the eyes. Intoxicated oxygen generally does not kill people. It takes a few days to get used to it and everything will be fine. If you want to speed up, wear more masks on your face to reduce the intake of air, which can also reduce the symptoms."
Although they didn't quite understand it, they felt it made sense.
And at once we found the reason why Emperor Zhou failed to punish Tibet.
"How can you be sure that what you said is right?" Yu Boshi asked.
"This is not easy. You should ask the traveling merchants, preferably those traveling between Tubo and Daqian. Ask them if they feel uncomfortable at first, but they will be fine in a few days.
They must understand the local customs, and when their people come down, they will definitely suffer from the oxygen intoxication I mentioned!"
Li Shilong made a gesture, and Gao Shilian quietly left the box.
Gao Yao was also taken away, and she couldn't hear what happened next.
"As long as our soldiers are familiar with the environment, it will be fine. However, this process is difficult to control. If the other side launches a sneak attack, they will definitely lose."
In the parallel time and space, the Tang Dynasty launched many attacks on Tubo from the Sui Dynasty to the Wu Zhao period. In the first year of Xianheng, Tubo defeated the Tang army in Dafeichuan, annexed Tuyuhun, captured Qiuci, which was under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, and lost Anxi.
Four towns.
In the first year of Changshou, Wu Zhou defeated Tubo, but it was useless. Ten years later, Wu Zhou of Tubo rebuilt the country. The Tang Dynasty married Princess Jincheng to Zanpu Chide Zuzan of Tubo, and made the land of Jiuqu in Hexi the Tang Muyi of Princess Jincheng.
Cut to Tibet.
After that, Tubo used this as a base to attack the Tang Dynasty, forcing Tang Dynasty to strengthen the defense of Longyou area in Hexi Province.
In this time and space, there was no Weishui Alliance, but Tubo took advantage of the fire to plunder, forced Li Yuan to marry, and even ceded the land of Jiuqu in Hexi.
At this point in history, there are striking similarities and overlaps.
Although it is only a border area, it is a very important strategic depth. Whoever controls this area will have the initiative in the war.
It's no wonder that Tubo just condemned an envoy to come over and work hard, so it was so extreme.
That is the scar in the hearts of two generations, the kind that will turn against anyone who touches it.
But, there are too many enemies and the country is too poor.
Looking at it this way, Daqian was much more difficult than Datang.
"However, if they dare to cause trouble, we have to see if they are strong enough and blow them up to death!" Qin Mo snorted: "Don't worry, we don't have too many things, we just have too many grenades. We don't have a million.
Huge, there are hundreds of thousands of them.”
"Tubo claims to have an army of 500,000 people. Although it is an exaggeration, I am afraid there are 300,000 to 400,000 troops. The population of Tubo is also 5 to 6 million." Du Jingming said.
"We have a population of 30 to 40 million, but only more than 600,000 soldiers. Tubo has a population of 5 to 6 million and has so many soldiers. They are more afraid of failure than we are. Once they fail, it will be a huge disaster for Tubo.
blow.
First of all, Tubo annexed several tribes and several political powers. I don’t believe that in such a short period of time, they could wear a pair of trousers.
Brothers stay together every day and still fight, not to mention that the stepmother has found a stepfather for herself and brought in a domineering big brother, are you convinced?"
Qin Mo said: "We don't need to worry too much. Dagan lost and still has the capital to make a comeback. Tubo only has one chance.
Let’s reason first. If the reasoning doesn’t make sense, use fists. If fists don’t make sense, use hand grenades, and then use cannons to blast them.”
"Yes, let's do it!" Li Yuan's original anxiety was gone. Just hearing Qin Mo's words, he felt like he had a chance to win.
Li Shilong's brows also relaxed. He looked at Qin Mo and felt very happy.
It has to be our son-in-law. He broke up the tense atmosphere with just a few words. Although his words were rough, his words were still very reasonable!
Dou Xuanling and the other three also exchanged looks.
This Qin Jingyun is really a magical person.
It seemed that no matter how big the problem was, he could solve it with a wave of his hand.
