Asunasmo had already made a full attitude. As the leader of the Turks, he came to apologize and hand over his own wealth and life to deal with it. This was the limit he could do.

There is a saying that killing people is just a lie. In this case, although Li Shimin can still execute Asunasmo and hold him accountable, if he does this, it will inevitably seem unkind.

The reputation of Tian Khan that Li Shimin wanted was to live by tolerance, not by torture. Unless Li Shimin tried his best to be famous, he could not kill Ashinasmo.

In addition, Ashinosmo also has his role. Among the Turks, Ashinosmo and his tribes accepted the Tang Dynasty more deeply and yearned for the Tang Dynasty. There are not many such tribes. If Ashinosmo was killed, and if they wanted to cultivate a Turkic leader as close to the Tang Dynasty as he was, it would be difficult to do it for a while. Even if they did it, the price would be very high and it would not be in the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, a large number of Turkic people should want to see this situation very much. Therefore, Li Shimin cannot do this. If he does this, it means that his relatives suffer and his enemies are happy. Li Shimin is not a short-sighted person, and he will definitely not do such things.

Therefore, this memorial is very important. How can Li Shimin appear to be very angry, but he has to keep Asuna Smo. How to say this requires some skill.

The decree that Li Mu wrote for Li Shimin generally means this. First of all, question and question the Turks. If murdering the life of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the choice of all Turks, then Asanasmo does not need to apologize and can turn around immediately and prepare for war.

If it is not all Turkic people, then it must be that bad people appear in the Turkic team. If bad people appear, it is easy to deal with. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is as broad as a sea of ​​people. If a small number of people want to assassinate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, just hand over these people. This can be regarded as nothing has happened. From now on, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will still treat the Turkic people in a normal manner, and will never get angry.

If the Turks insist on not being responsible for this matter, they will not give an explanation. The heavenly soldiers will arrive soon, and then the Turks will only be destroyed in the morning and night.

The last threat was just mentioned by the way, and it was impossible to happen. With the current conditions and strength of the Turks, unless they really don’t want to live, they would not choose to go to war with the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Li Mu also helped Li Shimin draft an order to send it to the Western Turks. Although the East and West Turks have always been in power, this relationship is like a relative who has a temper. They can fight each other, but when something happens, they are still unanimous to the outside world. The Western Turks may not necessarily go to war with the Eastern Turks, but it is very likely that they will absorb the Eastern Turks tribes to strengthen themselves. The Western Turks formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and their strength was almost not damaged. It is also a major concern for Li Shimin. If the Western Turks continue to grow, the peaceful relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks will sooner or later start a war. In comparison, this is something Li Shimin is even more reluctant to see.

The king and his ministers gestded on the map for a while, and it was not until midnight that Li Shimin returned to the place where he stayed with Eunuch Gao. Concubine Yin had already woken up, but the wounds and meridians were injured, so he still had to rest in bed for a while, and there might be sequelae in the future. Therefore, Li Shimin stayed with Concubine Yin almost every day.

...

The reason why Li Mu is so tired is that in addition to reading memorials, he is also in charge of editing books.

Yes, the book was compiled. The weather gradually became colder. Although Yangzhou Port was an unfreezing port, in winter, inland river shipping could not be carried out. Yangzhou Port suddenly lost half of its throughput. Moreover, Li Mu's mind was always on the sea, and he didn't care much about inland river shipping. The book he organized was a route map. He called all the experienced sailors in Yangzhou over, and each was equipped with a young scholar. Because many of the masters were illiterate, they needed to dictate and draw pictures next to them.

Everyone has different marks on routes. Finally, they have to summarize these signs in a unified manner, remove the drought and preserve the essence, and leave useful things. Finally, Li Mu has to set a standard for these route signs. This standard is the general sign for the Tang Dynasty Navy to travel across the sea in the future, rushing to train the new army and teach them all, which will save a lot of trouble in the future.

Fortunately, Tang Guan, the old penman, would have doubled Li Mu's workload.

In addition to this matter, Li Mu is still busy with one thing.

Over the past few days, Li Shimin has frequently talked to him about the attempt to attack Goguryeo. The number of mentions it was even greater than that of the Turks. This made Li Mu wonder what Li Shimin's purpose was to come to Yangzhou this time.

Originally, Li Mu could still make excuses, but when Concubine Yin was injured, Li Mu felt a little responsible and could not open his mouth. He could only take time and study with Li Shimin how to beat Goguryeo at the lowest cost.

Goguryeo is considered a "compulsory course" for the Central Plains dynasty. It's not that the Central Plains dynasty likes Goguryeo, but this country is really annoying. Goguryeo is located in a year and it's almost half a year. There are no warmers from later generations in this era. The cold areas are not suitable for people of this era. Moreover, the cold environment has a great impact on planting crops.

The Goguryeo people are not like the Turks. The Turks are pure nomadic peoples. They actually don’t and don’t want to farm in their bones. Goguryeo is more like the Central Plains people, and their main food is still planted. So in their bones, they yearn for a warmer and more suitable for planting in the Central Plains. So as long as there is a sign of a slight decline in the Central Plains dynasty, they will tentatively harass them. If the harassment is successful, it is considered a cheap one. If the harassment is not successful, I will not lose much. Anyway, the land here is cold and barren. Even if you take it away, you can’t move the people. If you just garrison the army, you will go back by yourself in a few years.

When fighting Goguryeo, the Central Plains dynasty summarized a lot of experience. The most effective method is to attack water and land. However, the water in the water and land does not refer to the sea, but the Liao River. After crossing the Liao River, they attacked the rear path in a circle. This is the usual method of the Central Plains dynasty.

Before Li Mu proposed a maritime strike, the Central Plains dynasty had never thought about attacking from the sea. To be precise, it was not that they had not thought about it, but that they could not be implemented. Ordinary small boats could not carry many people, and the roads in Shanghai were uncontrollable, and perhaps the food they brought was not enough to land from the Tang Dynasty to Goguryeo. Therefore, this idea has always been regarded as empty talk.

But now it is different. With the ten thousand stone ships, most of the supply problem is solved. As long as you choose a good route, sea attack is completely feasible. What's more, the Tang Dynasty still stood firm in Japan. With the "maritime military base" of Japan, the attack on the peninsula will be more effective.

But Li Shimin meant that the islands hanging overseas only wanted to make profits but not rule. This idea seemed a bit short-sighted in later generations, but in this era, it was very normal. Because of the restrictions on communication methods and the area was too large, it was actually useless. These islands hanging overseas were not from our race. If they had to rule, they would definitely arouse resistance. Resistance would have to be suppressed and then fall into a vicious cycle, which was equivalent to falling into a quagmire. In this way, the benefits this place could bring to the court may not be as expensive as it would be cost-effective.

But if you want to not occupy and control it, it is a paradox in itself. But this is not a problem for General Tiance Li Shimin. He stared at the map for a few days and really thought of a solution for him.

On this day, Li Mu was still watching the memorial, while Li Shimin was still staring at the map. Just looking at this scene, I really don’t know who is the emperor.

Suddenly, Li Shimin pointed his hand at a place, between the peninsula and Japan, and asked in confusion: "Is this a dot of ink or an island?"

Li Mu stretched his neck to see it. He was about to say it was a little bit, but suddenly he remembered that it was not a little bit. There was an island between Japan and the Peninsula. When he was watching Korean dramas in his previous life, he would have to go here for a vacation or something if he wanted to show that a certain male protagonist was rich. In the East, Hawaii, Jeju Island.

But it shouldn't be called this name at this time. Li Mu put the memorial aside and found a picture book. This is the geography compiled by Li Tai. He found the overseas chapter, searched for a while, and finally found it and pointed it to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this place is called Danluo."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Isn't this my geography?" He glanced at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, do you also need to check my books?"

Li Mu was too lazy to follow up, but the emperor still had to support him when he spoke, saying, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and his sons are all born among the people. Li Tai is my apprentice. Under my guidance, how can the geography compiled into books be not excellent?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "I really can't take advantage of you!"

The geographical record records a place not only records a name, but also all the human and geographical information about this place that can be collected, as long as it can be collected and verified, exists in this book.

According to the book, it is rumored that Danluo was a "mythological island". It is said that three immortals rushed out of the ground, named Liang Yina, Gao Yina, and Fu Yina. One day, they picked up a wooden box that floated from the East China Sea. After opening the wooden box, there was another stone box. A messenger in red belt and purple clothes came to open the stone box. Three virgins in blue appeared, and they brought cows, horses and grain seeds to marry the three immortals. So the three immortals married these three women, and then established a village and developed this country.

The ancient names of Danluo were Island Yi, Dongyingzhou, Sheluo, Danmuluo, and Toluo. Among these names, except "Dongyingzhou", they all mean "island country". During the Three Kingdoms period, Jeju was called "Zhouhu". According to historical records, "the person was short and his words were not the same as that of Han, and they were all like Xianbei, but they were dressed in clothes and Wei, and they liked raising cattle and pigs. Their clothes were as high as the top but not bottom, and they were slightly like naked. They traveled on a boat and bought Korean and middle-aged people."

This record shows that the customs of the people here are almost primitive and the clothes are not covered. Simply put, they are not completely "evolved".

At the same time, the geographical records also record that the place is about 200 miles from east to west and 60 miles from north to south. However, it is marked that this number has not been confirmed and is data given by the Tang envoy from the Sui Dynasty.

This also explains why I clicked a point here when I was drawing the picture, because no one had been to Danluo and could not confirm the area. However, in his previous life, Li Mu had been to Jeju Island. He remembered that the tour guide said that the area of ​​Jeju Island is more than 1,800 square kilometers, which is not much different from the records here.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "If the records here are accurate, such a large island is at the three junctions of the Tang Dynasty, Silla and Japan, it is an excellent transit place. If you occupy this place, you can send troops to Japan and Silla Baekje at any time, and it can greatly shorten the supply line on the sea."

Obediently, Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin and thought to himself, Your Majesty, you have a big appetite. Didn’t you just fight Goguryeo? Why are Silla and Baekje also involved? Silla is my wife’s dowry, so I definitely can’t give you it.

But this cannot be said. Li Mu thought about it and said to Li Shimin: "It is easy to confirm it. Send the 'Pathfinder Boat' out. It's about this distance. It will definitely be back between one and a half months and two months."

Li Shimin nodded. Two months later, the New Year just ended and nothing happened. He thought for a while and said, "Don't let You'er go this time."

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "He has to be able to listen to my words. Anyway, I won't say it. Your Majesty wants to stop him. Your Majesty, let's stop him."

Li Muhui agreed with Li Shimin's idea because this place was very consistent with his expectations. Taking Danluo could not only be a military base, but also a trading center. It would be a horse-raising vacation. Wouldn't it be a beautiful?

Moreover, Li Shimin also said that his strategy is to only make profits and not occupy them. This coincides with Li Mu's idea. But the direction of cooperation is different. You don't want it, I want it! There is no way to make all profits and lose money in business. If it is one-sided, the transaction will no longer exist. Li Mu can operate the island into a factory in the Tang Dynasty, which not only can enrich the Tang Dynasty, but also feed the people on the island, at least not having to "clothing is not covered".

In a short time, it is beneficial to both parties. As for what happened a long time later, at that time, everyone will die and the bones will be rotten. Why are you still worried about that?

Seeing the moon rising on the treetops and approaching midnight, it was almost time to get off work. Li Mu looked at Li Shimin and thought to himself, why haven't you left yet?

Finally, Li Shimin put down the map, looked up at Li Mu, and said, "I plan to send a group of cavalry to Goguryeo before the New Year to collect the bodies of the Sui people who died in the battle in the Sui Dynasty, destroy the Jingguan, which was erected with the bodies, and hit them!"
