One month passed quickly with preparations by all parties.
In this month, Xu Yunyan and the others finally appeased the people on the two large Japanese islands they occupied, and people's livelihood gradually recovered.
In the Northland, Zhi Shi Si Li kept mobilizing manpower to attack those small tribes that obeyed his orders very much because no messengers arrived and no military orders were received. They were considered to be dissatisfied with him after they were fully equipped.
The practice of losing Sili also caused the entire Western Turks to become chaotic again.
Some people in those small tribes understand it.
"It turns out that Zhishishili wanted to completely annex us and deliberately prepared us with all the equipment. Then he used our ulterior motives to fight against them and deliberately attacked us!"
After the leaders of these small tribes who thought they had clearly seen the real situation shouted these words, more and more small tribes discovered this possibility.
Whether they are now obeying orders under Zhishishili, or those little giant fish who have never received military orders in the first place are starting to stay away from Zhishishili and rush to more remote places in the Western Turks.
Some marched towards the Eastern Turks and had no choice but to surrender to the Anbei Protectorate. This made everyone in the Anbei Protectorate smile even more.
After many generals have more or less conquered several tribes, they must add a lot of merit to their short list of achievements.
??????????????????In other places, those who go west, north or south enter the territory of others.
War is still the main theme now.
However, after being defeated by Sili, he felt like he knew what was going on. He was banging on the table and cursing the messenger.
"Where have these messengers gone? How come none of the messengers who were arranged to go out have returned?"
Next to him, the generals in charge of messengers hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Khan, it's possible that the messenger was robbed and killed on the way and delivered false orders. That's why this happened. The general failed in his duty."
Zhishishili couldn't help but sigh as he saw his confidant admitting his mistake on the ground.
"I also understand what you did. I didn't expect that someone would act so recklessly in our Western Turks. I have to investigate carefully if I can't help it."
Originally preparing to gather all their strength to restore all the Turkic territory, but now that the Great Turks were seeing the supreme glory of the Turks, the Chief of Staff paced angrily and clapped his hands, as if he had missed a good opportunity.
After Japan occupied two more large islands, Xu Yunyan once again gathered with many generals.
Summoned by Xu Yunyan again, the Tang Army generals gathered here were all gearing up.
"General, are you going to launch another attack on the remaining Japanese islands? We are all ready."
But when they were talking like this, Xu Yunyan shook his head.
"We have completely taken the city we occupied within our own hands within this month."
Just after Xu Yunyan finished speaking, everyone nodded here, looking like Xu Yunyan was wise. They did a great job under the leadership of Xu Yunyan, and really brought all the two islands occupied by the Japanese country under their control.
Seeing the many Tang Army generals who were beside themselves with joy in front of him, Xu Yunyan knocked on the table to attract their attention.
"But you should pay attention here."
As soon as Xu Yunyan spoke, everyone looked at the location on the map that Xu Yunyan tapped.
This is an area that they have ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
It was the original tradition of the Japanese country to expel the original castle lord or daimyo after defeating them. To them, it was a very dangerous place.
Although the people in front of them didn't know what was special about the place Xu Yunyan knocked on, how could Xu Yunyan who came from later generations not know that the richest place producing gold and silver in Japan was in this area?
It is also due to the activity of active volcanoes that they have formed a large amount of non-ferrous metal precipitation in such an area.
Looking at the generals standing in front of him who were gearing up, Xu Yunyan laughed again. After he said these words, they changed from gearing up to being at a loss in an instant.
"Don't listen to what the Japanese people say. This is a dangerous place. In fact, there is such a place in our country in the Tang Dynasty. It's just fate and opportunity that made it look like this."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, everyone hurriedly looked at Xu Yunyan. Since Xu Yunyan said this, there must have been a countermeasure.
Seeing everyone here ready to obey his orders, Xu Yunyan said directly.
"Xue Li, you will lead a group of Japanese soldiers and lead our troops to this place."
Xu Yunyan said and took out a new map. This is exactly the topographic map of this dangerous place that Xu Yunyan arranged for people to draw at this time.
After Xu Yunyan spoke, Xue Li stepped forward, and the other generals did not stand aside because they were not arranged.
Seeing the confused expressions of the surrounding generals, Xu Yunyan clicked on the red dot he marked on the map.
"This should be a gold mine. After you occupy this place, set up camp and let the Japanese soldiers mine it reasonably. You must pay attention to the amount they mine.
??????????????????If you produce more, give them some benefits and improve their quality of life. You can't use them in vain, right?
Now they can no longer be regarded as Japanese people, but as Tang people, and their efforts must be rewarded. "
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
"What? This is a gold mine? Master, are you right?"
Li Chengqian immediately asked the questions he was concerned about. After Li Chengqian spoke, Xu Yunyan looked at Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, do you think you will do such a stupid thing in the end? If there is a gold mine, there must be a gold mine. Only by arranging for the army to go instead of other people can we maximize the secret of the gold mine. ."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, other people looked at Xu Yunyan hurriedly.
"Master, what are the black spots you marked on this thing? There must be something there, right?"
Xu Yunyan smiled and nodded.
"You can see really carefully. Who wants to come here? There's a good baby here."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, the generals hurriedly asked for orders.
"I'll go, I'll go."
Seeing how active they were, Xu Yunyan finally looked at Qin Huaiyu.
"Huaiyu, you are the safest. What do you think about having you here? This is a mixed area of gold and silver mines. It is also well-guarded, so no problems can occur."
After Xu Yunyan once again arranged for people to go to a place in front of him that everyone regarded as a geomantic treasure, the other generals went crazy here.
"General, I see there are a few red dots and black dots here. Let's go."
But when they requested this, Xu Yunyan shook his head.
"These red dots and black dots are a waste of manpower and material resources now. Their output is not as good as these two. You can wait here for me to arrange other tasks. There are still two large islands in Japan. We still have two big islands. If we didn’t capture it, how could we just stare at this place every day?”
But as soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Chengqian nodded here.
"What the master says is whatever it is. We will never raise any doubts. It's just that..."
Seeing Li Chengqian's embarrassed look, Xu Yunyan asked curiously.
"Your Highness, do you have any objections? Is there something wrong with these places?"
Li Chengqian didn't know what to say for a moment, but Li Chengcheng said curiously next to him. "Isn't this the dangerous place that the Japanese have always said? Are they deliberately deceiving us because of this mineral deposit? There is no such thing as this?
That's not right, then why did they drive the original city lord and daimyo of the Japanese country here? If they had all this money, wouldn't it be easy to recruit troops? "
But as soon as Li Chengcheng finished speaking, Xu Yunyan shook his head again, which made Li Chengcheng very puzzled.
"What do you mean by this? Is what I said wrong again?"
But just as Li Chengcheng was asking here, Li Chengqian finally stopped worrying about what he had just considered.
"Master, I also want to ask this question. Didn't they discover so much gold and silver?"
"His Royal Highness, and everyone, haven't you noticed that in many places in this Japanese country, gold and silver are not used for transactions, but shells and the like are used?"
Xu Yunyan's simple and straightforward words made everyone react.
"I see. What you mean is that the Japanese people don't know the value of this gold and silver at all. It's a novel thing for them to trade shells for it."
It was originally a normal topic, but when it came to shell trading, it suddenly became a bit complicated.
"It turns out they don't know anything about these things. If I don't know them and don't know how to use them, they won't be useful as weapons."
After everyone finally understood Xu Yunyan's painstaking efforts, they hurriedly expressed their feelings here.
"What's going on in this dangerous area of Japan? Will there be any accidents?"
"Accidents really happen!"
"real?"
"There must be some. According to what they said, there will be volcanic eruptions every once in a while, but this is not a mountain god's anger or a warning from heaven that makes this a dangerous area.
And didn’t I say that such a situation would also happen in Datang?
Just be sure to run far away every time there is an eruption. When you run, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in water. Don't inhale the thick smoke they spray out, so you can stay safe.
At the same time, if the volcano really erupts, we must evacuate as soon as possible. No matter how many treasures are waiting for us at the scene, human life is still the most critical. "
After Xu Yunyan made the arrangements, many generals looked at Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu with envy.
"I didn't expect you to find such a good job. Although there are some hidden dangers, we also heard from our people that this volcano has not erupted for a long time. You must be careful and don't let you go. , really caught up with this volcanic eruption.”
Cheng Yaojin's inability to hide secrets made Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu look very ugly when they were about to leave.
But before these people could take action against Cheng Yaojin, Xu Yunyan had already started to change their topic.
Xu Yunyan couldn't let these generals get into chaos at this juncture.
"Stop talking about these issues.
In any case, the mined gold and silver will not be kept by them, and will be transported back to the Tang Dynasty to fill the national treasury. What do you have to worry about?
What's more, aren't everything we do so that we can better control the Japanese country? Don't make noises now, there's still business to be done. "
After Xu Yunyan said something, everyone stopped talking about this matter. Instead, they looked at Xu Yunyan.
Since Xu Yunyan interrupted them, there must be something going on.
Just when everyone was waiting, Xu Yunyan gave the order.
"Now that we have begun to prepare for war, there must be many new ships being assembled in the south.
Now that we have ships, our original main force is the navy, so we can no longer stay on land for too long and immediately cross the river to go north to conquer the Japanese country again. "
"I will obey the general's military orders!"
