But what no one expected was that Xu Yunyan had just arranged the order, and when everyone was about to leave the tent to organize the army and prepare for war, an anxious figure rushed in from the tent door.
"What happened? Why are you so anxious?"
The messenger who came in quickly knelt down on one knee.
"Report to the general! The imperial decree has arrived! General, please go quickly to meet His Majesty's decree."
"What? The imperial edict has arrived! What happened?"
All the young generals were stunned when they heard that an imperial edict was coming to be read out, but they still turned to look at Xu Yunyan who was sitting on the main seat.
Xu Yunyan stood up immediately.
"Why are you looking at me? Now that the imperial edict has arrived, why are you still standing there and not hurrying up to take care of it? Be vigilant when it is time to be vigilant, and the rest will follow me to welcome the imperial edict."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, everyone reacted.
yes! Just now, Xu Yunyan issued the order. Some people would stay on guard while others formed an army to prepare for the expedition. Now, those who are on alert and ready to go out are following Xu Yunyan to meet the order and see what the order issued by Li Shimin means. .
After Xu Yunyan gave the order, everyone had a backbone.
Everyone looked at Xu Yunyan here waiting for Xu Yunyan's arrangements, while Xu Yunyan hurriedly adjusted his armor and walked out of the camp.
Others should be vigilant and go to other places to mobilize manpower, but no more accidents should occur at this critical moment. Those who were about to lead the troops to the expedition temporarily gave up their plans to lead the troops and followed Xu Yunyan to meet His Majesty's will.
I don’t know what His Majesty’s plans are, but we can’t delay important events!
When Xu Yunyan arrived at the entrance of the camp, a group of Imperial Guards with bright armor were already standing at the door. Seeing Xu Yan and others approaching, the soldiers guarding the door hurriedly let the Imperial Guards enter the camp.
As soon as the Imperial Army came in, a figure that made Xu Yunyan unexpected came out.
"I didn't expect you to do such big things in Japan!"
Seeing that Li Jing, who had come to Chuzhou with him before the battle to capture Japan, actually came to convey the imperial edict, Xu Yunyan hurriedly stepped forward.
"Master, why are you here? Can your body bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling? This storm on the sea is no joke."
Xu Yunyan asked Li Jing with concern, and Li Jing pushed Xu Yunyan aside who was about to help him.
"My old bones can still hold on. Am I not a general of the Tang Dynasty? Am I not allowed to come to the front line to take a look?"
When Li Jing said this, the other people looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but Xu Yunyan, as Li Jing's disciple, looked at Li Jing and said.
"Master, you must be strong. Master, if you can go to sea, you will be like my Great Tang Dinghai Shenzhen. There will never be any problems. I just don't know, Master, you can go this way, do you need to rest first?"
It's just that Xu Yunyan asked Li Jing whether he should rest, but Li Jing looked dissatisfied at him.
"Why rest? I had already rested on the ship when I came here. Now I will convey His Majesty's will first."
After Li Jing finished speaking and took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, Xu Yunyan, regardless of whether he was wearing armor or not, saluted because of the inconvenience of wearing armor, and knelt down in front of Li Jing with a plop.
This is not only respect for Li Shimin, but also respect for Li Jing.
Xu Yunyan took the lead and knelt down in front of Li Jing. The other young generals, no matter what their status, imitated Xu Yunyan's appearance here. This was the first time for a general to receive orders in the wild wearing armor.
After Xu Yunyan and the others knelt down in front of Li Jing, Li Jing began to open the bright yellow shoulder axis in his hand and read Li Shimin's order in a sultry tone. Xu Yunyan and others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Li Shimin had indeed deployed officials to govern the Japanese affairs.
It didn't take long for Li Jing to finish reading. After Li Jing finished speaking, he put the scroll away and Xu Yunyan hurriedly stood up.
"Where are the officials dispatched by His Majesty Master? Do I need to arrange for personnel to escort them to take office?
Although Japan has two islands under our control now, there are still some people who are dissatisfied with me and are secretly working together inside the country to prepare to do something else.
I'm afraid that if I don't arrange manpower, if something unexpected happens to these new officials, it will be a loss to Datang's face. "
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Jing looked at him.
"Do you think I don't know the priority of this matter? When I first landed from the seaside, I had already used my identity and this decree to place them in the county along the way."
Li Jing did not expect that he would cut through the mess so quickly and go directly to place the officials wherever they were.
Xu Yun was very happy after watching Li Jing arrange the manpower.
"Master has arranged for officials to be placed in all the more than 20 cities on the two islands we occupy?"
Li Jing nodded, "There are still remaining officials. Now we need you to clean up the offices of these remaining officials."
Li Jing's words of cleaning up were too polite. In Xu Yunyan's understanding, what these officials who have not obtained local offices need most now is our country's city.
As for the Japanese cities? Still in the hands of the Japanese, isn't it easy to guess what it means?
After Li Jing finished speaking, Xu Yunyan hurriedly looked at Li Jing's expression.
"Master, don't worry. I have arranged for the generals to prepare to lead the troops, but there is one thing I need to tell Master before that."
"Oh? What else?"
Xu Yunyan hurriedly told Li Jingyi the location of the gold and silver mines on the map he drew based on what he knew from later generations and based on the information sent back by current investigators.
Li Jing was shocked when he heard what Xu Yunyan said.
"Is what you said true? This is also a top priority. Since you can do this on both sides, then leave this area to me."
With Li Jing taking charge of the rear and coordinating the deployment, Xu Yunyan could immediately go about conquering the Japanese country with ease.
Xu Yunyan was quite happy about this. After the two explained their respective situations, Xu Yunyan was about to lead the troops to the expedition. Li Jing mysteriously came to Xu Yunyan again and handed a small bright yellow handkerchief to Xu Yunyan.
Xu Yunyan looked at the handkerchief in his hand without knowing why, and Li Jing looked at him and whispered.
"This is a secret message from His Majesty to you. It's okay for you to know some things, but other people cannot know."
After Li Jing said this, as if what just happened had not happened, he walked slowly towards the direction of the Chinese army camp with his hands behind his back.
Xu Yunyan also knew the priority of this matter, so he put the yellow scroll into his arms and began to make arrangements.
"Everyone should be vigilant according to what I just said. The rest of the people will be mobilized to gather at the shore. As soon as the ship arrives, we will launch an attack on the other shore."
After many generals took the order and went to take action, Xu Yunyan saw no one around and hurriedly took out the bright yellow curler that Li Jing gave him in a hidden corner to see what was written on it.
As soon as I took a look at Xu Yunyan, I couldn't help but feel a toothache.
"Li Shimin thinks too highly of himself, so that he can take over these cities as much as possible and avoid unnecessary casualties!
Where is this? How did he know that I had caused a lot of casualties in this Japanese city? "However, Xu Yunyan was very dissatisfied with complaining here, so he continued to look down to see what was going on. After Xu Yunyan finished reading, he couldn't help but feel confused.
"In order to gain a good reputation, Li Shimin actually planned to abolish corvee service in many places and completely replace it with these prisoners of war. This is a very good thing for the people of the world.
Just where to capture so many prisoners of war for you? Even if the Japanese country captured them all, there wouldn’t be much of them! "
Xu Yunyan was a little speechless, but Li Shimin had already issued an order, and it was a hidden order. It seemed that he was going to take the blame again.
Xu Yunyan shook his head, but he was a professional at taking the blame, so were he afraid of one more person?
As Xu Yunyan thought, after the first batch of Japanese prisoners were brought back to the Tang Dynasty, in some places these prisoners were indeed used to replace civilian labor to carry out the construction of some infrastructure projects.
But there are good ones and there are bad ones.
Under the deliberate propaganda of the aristocratic family, a group of literati began to feel that the Tang Dynasty was no longer a human being. They had lost all their benevolence, justice, reason, gentleness, courtesy and frugality, as well as the integrity of the Celestial Kingdom. They actually showed off their power in front of this small country, completely Leave them speechless.
But just when these people began to write to Li Shimin non-stop, urging Li Shimin that the prisoners of war should behave like prisoners of war, and that they should be released after their country brought the money. Those who go home are allowed to go home, and those who should be treated as Tang people are treated as Tang people. How can they be allowed to continue doing this hard work?
After some people wrote such a letter, some even began to impeach Prince Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin didn't expect this. Looking at the memorial in front of him, he grabbed the hair on his head and accidentally lost a few hairs.
"What do these people want to do? The prince is the crown prince of the country and they are impeaching the prince like this? Do they look down on the prince, or do they think the prince is young?"
Li Shimin was angry, but several close officials next to him noticed something strange.
"Your Majesty, why didn't these people impeach Li Ying this time? Li Yingcai was the main general in the expedition against Japan. These people actually chose to go far away from the near. I think there is a conspiracy."
After Fang Xuanling said this, Du Ruhui looked at Li Shimin and nodded.
"This matter is very conspiracy!"
As for why so many people did not impeach Li Ying?
It's not the first time that those aristocratic families have gotten together.
"There is another good opportunity. Although Datang has done well this time to win the hearts of the people, we must also take this opportunity to use the topic to impeach the prince and let Li Shimin know what we are capable of."
After the talker from a wealthy family said this, the others were stunned.
"Isn't it Li Ying who is the leader of the expedition against Japan this time? How can we impeach His Highness the Crown Prince instead of him?"
After some people asked and were so confused, the manager of the wealthy family who was the first to speak was indeed smiling and talking.
"Isn't this normal? Only if we don't impeach Li Ying can Li Shimin think that Li Ying has something to do with us. Aren't we making a huge profit?
】
Even if Li Ying remains neutral, in Li Shimin's heart he is already one of ours. "
"It's so brilliant!"
Just as these aristocratic families finished speaking, the one who made the suggestion spoke again.
"By impeaching His Highness the Crown Prince, we can also prevent Li Shimin from paying attention to us. We can also focus this matter on his heirs and make Li Shimin's heirs at odds with each other. Isn't it also a good thing for us?"
A few words awakened the dreamer. These aristocratic families seemed to have discovered a new world, and they supplemented their plans here.
This was done to create obstacles for Li Shimin and to demonstrate the aloof status of their aristocratic family, without even caring about the vital interests of the people of Liming.
