However, the King of Goguryeo not only did not stop what Su Wen Gaeyuan did, but instead labeled those families that were destroyed by Su Wen Gaeyuan as rebels.
In this case, who dares to object or say anything more? If I say a few more words and Su Wen Gaiyuan leads the troops to uproot the family, it will be more than worth the gain.
As for Su Wen Gaiyuan sending troops to resist the Tang army, let him do it. If he is willing to resist, let him resist.
After this turmoil, Su Wen Gaiyuan was extremely popular in Goguryeo!
Of course, it is impossible for a big family to just let go of those noble families.
War requires money, food, and even more people, which cannot be supported solely by the royal family.
Su Wen Gaiyuan naturally set his sights on those big families and aristocratic families.
The aristocratic family members who originally thought that the matter was none of their business and would fight you if they wanted were once again in trouble. They were directly threatened by Su Wen Gaiyuan. If they don't pay, they will hire people. If they don't sell people, they will pay money. Then give out food. In short, you must give out one of the three things, otherwise you will end up with the same fate, confiscating your family and exterminating your clan!
This move really had a miraculous effect. All the aristocratic families in Pyongyang, including big families, participated enthusiastically. The rich contributed money, some provided people, and some even pulled out carriages loaded with grain and grass. At first, it seemed like a lot of money. It was difficult to recruit troops, and it took only a few days to recruit 100,000 troops, not to mention the mountains of money.
With money, food, and soldiers, Su Wen Gaiyuan was so high-spirited that he immediately led these people to the border with the Tang Dynasty and began to build fortifications to resist the Tang army.
While Goguryeo was taking action, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty also entered into intense preparations for war. Food and grass had been raised in advance. With potatoes as the divine object, there was no crisis of not being able to raise food, let alone that it had been developed into Without vermicelli, it is easier to store and transport, and is deeply loved by soldiers.
In addition to the food and grass supplies, the money was also settled due to Feng An's donation. In addition, with the wealth obtained from the expedition to the Turks, Li Shimin was now very rich, not to mention the funding from those aristocratic families. After all, he wanted to participate in it and get a piece of the pie. , if you want to get benefits from the expedition to Goguryeo, you naturally have to invest.
Either give money, give food, or send people. Regarding this, the officials of the Tang Dynasty tasted the sweetness in the expedition to the Turks. Each donation was a positive move, which formed a positive relationship with Goguryeo's troops to seize the troops. sharp contrast.
The court is very busy, the officials are very busy, and Luo Zhang is also very busy. In addition to spending a lot of time with his family every day, Luo Zhang spends the rest of the time every two days to check on the construction of artillery, the construction of distant sea ships, and the construction of distant sea ships. How to train soldiers on sea ships, etc.
There are so many things going on, it doesn’t feel like time flies by so fast.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and everything was moving towards the final goal.
Luo Zhang's artillery was also loaded on four high-sea ships in the past ten days. After so many days, the shipyard built another high-sea ship.
The size of the high-sea ships is not the same as that of the offshore ships. Even if there are only four ships, even if three fleets of Liu Renyuan and three people attack these four high-sea ships, they will not be able to do anything to them!
If the four high-sea ships launched an attack, Liu Renyuan and the three of them would lose at least half of their fleet, and the other half would probably have to flee.
Artillery is no joke. A single shot can severely damage an offshore ship.
If it encounters the giant triangular ship of the Food Kingdom again, the distant sea ship can also sink it!
In addition to the artillery loaded on ships in the distant sea, thirty other artillery pieces were secretly transported to the army that was on the expedition to Goguryeo, and were secretly guarded and locked up.
This is a powerful weapon against Goguryeo, so how can we treat it carelessly?
Ordinarily, it should be very difficult to transport such artillery, but as a descendant of the future, Luo Zhang just asked the craftsmen to build a shelf on which the artillery could be placed, and four iron rings were installed underneath. Like wheels, you only need to hang two batches of war horses to pull it away. It is very convenient to transport without any cumbersome trouble.
On this day, Luo Zhang invited Li Shimin to go to the Qilian Mountains. After they entered the Qilian Mountains, they heard bursts of rumbling sounds throughout the forest, causing birds and animals to flee in all directions, as if the end of the world was coming.
And when Li Shimin left with the support of the Jinwu Guards and the royal family, the smile on his lips never stopped.
Luo Zhang invited Li Shimin to the Qilian Mountains not for hunting, but to demonstrate the power of the new artillery and let Li Shimin know the certainty of this expedition to Goguryeo.
With such a powerful weapon as artillery, even those who are strong in the True Yuan Realm can only run away. Only those at the seventh or eighth level of the True Yuan Realm, or even at their peak strength, can compete with them. It is simply impossible to stop artillery from bombarding the city. !
In addition to artillery, Mitsubishi thorns and engineer shovels have also been assembled into the vanguard army. Although there are not many, only a thousand sets, these things can play a big role at critical moments.
Not to mention the thousand sets of steel armor. Although they are very heavy, if he puts them on and rides a horse into battle, who can resist?
