Chapter 889: Discussing South Asia Strategy
The conversation between Li Mingda and Li Shimin quickly turned to the rule of the Tang Dynasty and its recent developments.
Li Shimin and Li Zhi didn't know what trains, steam engines and steam turbines were. The same was true for nitroglycerin. Li Mingda would not waste time educating them on science, but simply told them about his three newly built large mines and
What is being smelted is also the strategy of attacking Southeast Asia.
You want to say that the Tang Dynasty now has a vast territory, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and it can't be managed. Why did it have to travel thousands of miles to capture so much territory?
The heart of an emperor lies in conquest?
Li Zhi didn't understand. Isn't this an act of aggression? This is the behavior of a coward and a tyrant. Should he say something?
Thinking about my fear of being dominated by Li Mingda, I finally thought about it and let it go.
Li Shimin naturally knew the relationship between conquering and being governed, as well as the conflicts between countries. But he obviously had some doubts about attacking Southeast Asia and wanted to ask Li Mingda.
"Xiao Sizi, according to your words, the land area in Southeast Asia is not small and fertile enough, but it will cost a lot to use troops. For example, if we march from Sichuan and Sichuan, the jungle smog alone will be a difficulty
, the supply line in the west is too long, it is true that sea transportation is convenient, and the route is longer."
The three difficulties raised by Li Shimin were not called anything here by Li Mingda. He reached out and dipped his fingers into some tea. Li Mingda simply drew a map of Asia on the table.
"Father, this is the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, and this is Nibala. The land of Nibala is already bordering their city-state. There are currently Nibala from the Piao Kingdom of Zhenxulin and some surrendered soldiers from Tibet stationed here. From here
Just send troops to fight over it, there is no need to use too much Tang Dynasty's local power."
He also pointed to the Tashkent area in the Western Regions, "Here is where the Tubo people from the Tubo Plateau have moved. There are more than 100,000 local troops stationed in the Tang Dynasty. They are currently cultivating in the fields. After completing the primitive accumulation, they can directly
Going south."
"As for the sea, the ocean is a matter of time. This dispatch does not use the regular navy of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, Zhang Zhongjian is asked to carry a stick, and the Japanese second-level Tang people conduct preliminary intelligence and occupation of strongholds in the name of pirates.
.As for real large-scale naval battles, it’s not that I underestimate them, some of their small fishing boats are good now.”
An expression of disdain appeared on Li Mingda's face. As an understanding of history, he knew very well what the current situation of Asan was. They were still in the midst of division and the city-state system. This system originated from Alexander, the conqueror of ancient Rome.
Derivatives of the Roman system of the Big Brothers.
division, city-state, caste
With these three pitfalls loaded together, it is simply a fool's errand for them to follow their struggle to unify the Tang Dynasty.
Li Mingda did not rule out the possibility that some beings similar to himself would build their own power there. As for the outcome, it would depend on who the other party was. If they were from a higher caste and had received a serious education, they might still be able to do so.
Yes, if it is those ignorant people, I really don’t know what will happen.
Maybe 80% of those people are still working hard on how to build enough toilets. After all, population is inseparable from eating, drinking and defecating.
I don’t know what Li Mingda was thinking. Li Shimin didn’t have that much information or information. After listening to Li Mingda’s narration, did he continue to make any objections?
Li Shimin asked, "Can Zhang Zhongjian lead those people to become pirates? Your strategic plan is of great significance. He even said that if his identity is not exposed, he can continue to penetrate into the Mediterranean Sea and Europe after defeating the South Asian countries."
Yo
Lao Li's words made Li Mingda's eyes light up: Lao Li is indeed Lao Li, even if he doesn't have as much information as him. He can think so far and be so cunning just by relying on his arrangements for Zhang Zhongjian.
"Father, I admire you for your foresight~!"
?(???????)?
Li Shimin: "Oh, there, there, these are words of experience as a father. To really do so much, you still need your own strategizing and Zhang Zhongjian's personal ability."
"I'm not worried about Zhang Zhongjian's personal ability. The only shortcoming is whether Zhang Zhongjian's subordinates can keep up with the pace." Li Mingda pointed out the shortcomings of the plan.
Li Shimin also agreed with Zhang Zhongjian's personal abilities, and the exposed shortcomings did exist. Li Shimin thought for a while and asked Li Mingda, "Can you select some people from the East China Sea Fleet and stuff them into it as the backbone? With these people not only
It can increase combat effectiveness and prevent pirates from rebelling at critical moments." The words were very simple.
Li Mingda has not thought about this plan, and his answer is that it is feasible in the early stage, but it cannot withstand detailed scrutiny." This plan is indeed feasible. If you encounter someone who is a little rough, you can fool them, and you can go deep if you want.
It requires careful polishing. The composition of Zhang Zhongjian’s personnel must be complex, but they must also be loyal enough.”
Li Shimin lowered his head and said, "Yes, you need to decide this issue yourself."
Loyalty, Li Mingda thought of the little daughter Li Xiaoxian at home who dominated the Jin Yiwei and was famous in the world. Just leave this difficult problem to her to deal with, and I guarantee that it will be solved easily.
With a plan in mind, Li Mingda called to Qingfeng beside him, "Pass Xu to Xiaoxian, and ask him to select a group of soldiers who are familiar with naval warfare from various coastal areas, feed them some loyalty medicine, and send them to Zhang Zhongjian's team. Let her do the specific operations."
Let’s discuss it with Jia Xu. If it’s convenient, we can send Bai Qisi along and they can consider this matter themselves.”
"promise"
After receiving Li Mingda's order, Qingfeng summoned a group of Jinyiwei to carry the written secret order to Fusi, the headquarters of the Jinyiwei, and Jia Xu in the palace. According to his settings for them, Baiqisi participated in foreign strategy exploration.
Intelligence is their essential job, and Baiqisi, who cannot find Guo Jia, is their own consideration.
Li Mingda's vigorous and resolute behavior was noticed by Li Zhi, and he planned to keep it in mind, and he would never be procrastinating in doing things in the future. Li Shimin was very familiar with his daughter's acting style, and he rarely did anything after Li Mingda ascended the throne as emperor.
When I saw Li Mingda, I gave the order directly.
I really miss this scene of father and daughter discussing the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty harmoniously.
Different from Li Mingda's place, the atmosphere around the eldest son is quite joyful and harmonious. The harem group headed by Murong Xue surrounded the eldest grandson. Everyone was like smearing rice with honey, and they kept saying all kinds of nice words.
It came out and made the eldest grandson happy.
