"In this case, this matter does not need to go through the court. In Li Ke's private name, since he invested 10 million yuan, the money must be enough. This order was issued in Li Ke's private order, but it is time to leave All the procedures related to the military, including military power, seals, and tiger talismans have been completed." Li Shimin looked at the heat and said directly.
"Yes, I obey." Everyone immediately bowed and saluted.
"Li Ke, you can give the order yourself." Li Shimin waved his hand.
Li Ke was not polite. Anyway, he had been used to it for a long time. Naturally, he didn't think much about it at this time. Instead, he said directly: "Hou Junji."
"I'm here." Hou Junji was somewhat excited. As a general, of course he has to fight.
"With Hou Junji as the army commander and Zhang Liang as the deputy commander, you two will lead three thousand cavalry, one person and two horses, and rush to Kunming Mansion as quickly as possible, and mobilize 20,000 local garrison troops to form a total army of 25,000 , entering the territory of Piao Kingdom and Queen Kingdom from the north, mainly destroying all the ruling forces of Mangbu and Wangbu." Li Ke said directly.
"Yes! I obey." Hou Junji bent down and saluted directly. Zhang Liang was not here, but Hou Junji sent the order later.
"Li Xiaogong, Yuchi Jingde." Li Ke said again.
"I'm here." The two of them stood up directly.
"You two will lead 500 personal guards by boat and rush to Guangzhou by sea as fast as possible. I will ask Dang Renhong to accompany the Nanyang Theater Navy and mobilize 30,000 local navy to cooperate with your landing operations. The relevant ships and manpower will be given to you. You provide logistical support." Li Ke said.
"In addition, Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, has full authority to handle all matters in these two countries on my behalf." Li Ke added that Li Xiaogong's clan status had another purpose.
"Yes, I obey!" Both of them also saluted.
"Okay, let's leave it like this. Hou Jun's gathering of troops must be slow. After Li Xiaogong and you arrive in Guangzhou, you should first do the logistics and supply work with Dang Renhong. As for how to fight, you can think about it yourself. This matter It has happened for more than two days, and I will see the Tang army entering these two countries in twenty days!" Li Ke said coldly.
"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.
"Wait a minute, Your Highness, how long did this happen?" Among the crowd, Li Jing, who had just bent down to salute and answered, suddenly realized something, raised his head and looked at Li Ke with a shocked expression.
When Li Jing asked, the others also realized what Li Ke had just said.
"Two days." Li Ke said helplessly. Some things, once used, cannot be concealed.
Everyone looked like they were looking at God. Two days? Yunnan Prefecture? Is this the 800-mile express? I'm afraid this is not a two thousand mile rush!
"You don't need to be too shocked, but for some reasons, this news needs to be kept secret, so you don't need to know, but what I can tell you is that Datang now has some brand-new technologies that can send information to thousands of miles in an instant. Even tens of thousands of miles away.”
"So later this order will be sent directly to Kunming and Guangzhou, and the local people will directly start preparations for war." Li Ke said.
"This...are you serious?" Everyone was stunned. Was it sent tens of thousands of miles away in an instant? Doesn't this... mean that Datang's control over local areas has once again strengthened to an unimaginable level?
"This... Your Highness, I dare to ask, can this kind of thing be carried by a certain army?" Li Jing took a deep breath and asked.
"Not for the time being." Li Ke shook his head.
Everyone understood instantly that it was not possible for the time being...meaning it would be possible in the future? !
This... all the generals have a feeling of earth-shattering, because they understand too well how important it is for the army to be able to control the movements of their troops at any time and control the transmission of information.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about it anymore. At least for now, apart from letting Chang'an know what's happening on your front line as soon as possible, it doesn't have much other effect. How should you fight the war?" Li Ke waved his hand.
This is already very useful. Chang'an can know the battle situation on the front line at any time. Naturally, some generals must have restrained themselves in certain behaviors. Of course, no one will say it.
But just keep it in mind.
"You go first. Remember to keep this matter strictly confidential. It is strictly forbidden to talk about it outside this room. It is strictly forbidden for anyone to spread the word. Otherwise, the consequences will be tantamount to rebellion." Li Ke still didn't say anything too unpleasant, like the nine tribes. Yes, just tell them it's tantamount to rebellion and let them weigh it themselves.
"Yes!" Everyone took a deep breath, and naturally stopped asking, but they already had an idea in their minds. It turned out that they not only had a way to transport tens of thousands of tons of goods thousands of miles a day, but they even had a way to transport tens of thousands of tons of goods thousands of miles a day. A method of transmitting information thousands of miles away in an instant.
Thinking about it now, this method seems to be almost the same as a train.
After they left, Li Ke was about to leave, but Li Shimin stopped him directly.
"I will explain this to your elder brother, but he probably doesn't care too much. After all, what you did before is similar to this." Li Shimin said proactively.
"Thank you, dad, I know." Li Ke smiled. Many of the things he did were too outrageous. He had been worried before, but he had just met Li Chengqian before. I have to say that he solved the problem of eldest brother and Li Chengqian. After Li Tai's heart knot, the eldest brother's mind has expanded a lot.
Knowing that this is not his ambition, he is willing to believe in himself and does not care about this.
But thinking about it, it's normal. After all, Lao Li had given him the imperial seal, the command of the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an, etc. At that time, he didn't do anything extraordinary. What else could he do? Don’t believe it?
If he wanted to rebel, he would have rebelled long ago with these things.
Since he didn't rebel, it was reasonable for the eldest brother to believe him.
"Okay, I know that what you are doing now is completely different from what you want to do, but you also know the reason. I won't say more nonsense dad. In your current state, you don't have to worry about having too many lice. If you have too much debt, you can take care of it as much as you can."
"Your eldest brother is the prince now. Although what you did is out of line, it won't be a big deal if I control the situation for you. Otherwise, if you don't deal with some things now, when your eldest brother takes over, if you do too much, you will It’s not so good after all.” Li Shimin said with a “embarrassed” look on his face.
"Dad, I understand. I understand such a simple truth. When the eldest brother comes to power, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be stable for a long time. Then I will find a way to let the eldest brother give me a nominal position so that the outside world will not doubt our relationship. Then I will Just don't worry about it." Li Ke nodded.
"Okay, that's it. You can go back and rest early." Li Shimin also nodded with a satisfied smile.
