well
After a long time, Lao Li took a long breath in front of him and said helplessly: "If this matter is carried out according to the situation, the general cannot blame Daozong. After all, according to my thinking at the time, the imperial power cannot be neglected. Daozong wants military merit. To have military exploits requires connections and connections, I am worried that he will usurp the throne and it is understandable that he wants to protect himself. Now that he has canceled his pre-set back-ups, there is nothing to say on the surface."
There was something in Li Shimin's words, and Li Mingda could hear it, but he didn't say it clearly and instead motioned for Lao Li to continue talking.
"However, combined with the matter of Wuji and Lingwu and those so-called organizations lurking behind the scenes, I feel that the matter is not that simple. There may be some connections behind it with those organizations and even the surrounding foreign countries. This For this matter, I suggest that Wuji and Lingwu be promoted, if necessary..."
Li Shimin gritted his teeth: "You don't need to take into account the feelings of your mother and I when necessary. You can use some means."
As expected, Lao Li was determined not to give in when it came to matters involving imperial power. After all, the price he paid was too high. His father had almost severed all ties with him. His own brother and younger brother had died, and he had to bear the infamy.
At the same time, Li Mingda also expressed that he was very pleased that Lao Li could still maintain his sanity at this time. He had finally taken a big step forward from the persecutory paranoid "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me" to a rational emperor. If he accidentally gets hung up on the road ahead, Lao Li will be able to carry the banner of Datang again in the future.
"Father, this matter needs to be summed up. Let's start with the interrogation of that person first. In fact, I still hope that they will continue to resist like this, otherwise they will lack some fun when they have nothing to do or during the holidays."
Listening to Li Mingda's words, Li Shimin felt a black line on his forehead. His daughter was good at everything, but her treatment of Changsun Wuji and the others was really naughty and could not be treated badly. In fact, it could be described as bad.
If it weren't for what Changsun Wuji and the others did that went too far, Li Shimin would have long ago tried to stop Li Mingda from continuing his bad behavior. However, Changsun Wuji and the others did something that prevented Li Shimin from interceding for them.
"Ahem, it would be better to resolve this matter as soon as possible. In fact, even after the matter is resolved, you will still have to control them for a few years."
Li Mingda told Li Shimin: "It is impossible to let Changsun Wuji go. If I want to go on a personal expedition in the future, I will have to consider whether to keep Changsun Wuji."
well
Li Shimin has also considered this matter. If Li Mingda goes on a personal expedition or patrols the south of the Yangtze River, he will definitely not let Changsun Wuji, Chai Lingwu, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi continue to be in the prison. In all likelihood, he will take them with him. Let's go together, or just settle it.
Ideas are ideas, but when Li Mingda actually said it, it was something else that was hard to accept.
Li Shimin didn't know how to answer this question, so he simply picked up a piece of pastry and ate it to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Seeing that Lao Li opposite him didn't answer for a long time, Li Mingda expressed his boredom: "Father, please cooperate with me."
Li Shimin: "I can't say anything about this matter. Wuji has committed a crime and is now enjoying good food, drink and good treatment every day in the prison. If he is really released from office and reinstated, I will I feel that your imperial skills are not up to standard.”
(⊙o⊙)…
To be able to say this sentence from Lao Li's mouth, Li Mingda couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Lao Li: "Father is right, I am a little hypocritical. After the people sent to Jiangxia bring the news back, I will choose which of the three of them will be interrogated first based on the situation. After all, I don’t want to delay it any longer.”
"Yes, since the Tang Dynasty has conquered all directions, it is time to clean up the internal affairs. According to this world map, the enemy that the Tang Dynasty will face in the future will not be Ruo."
In fact, our enemy is the whole world. It's a pity, Lao Li, that I can't tell you this, otherwise you will think that we are crazy.
If he wants to plant the flag of the Tang Dynasty on every inch of the earth, first of all, Li Mingda must prepare a huge ocean-going fleet with speed and power. Secondly, he needs at least one railway from Chang'an to Jiangnan to Sichuan and Shu. A very long railway to the Mediterranean coast is also needed, as well as a locomotive with sufficient carrying capacity.
Although I have the thief of the system, apart from giving me people and system programs, no high-tech factory will give me anything. With my current progress, I can do all of these in thirty to fifty years. It's good, unless you develop another path, which is to take the mysterious side.
It's not like I haven't carefully reviewed some of the functions of the system update. Except for things like the coming of divine power, it doesn't allow me to instantly summon a million troops or send a million troops to other places.
Either he lacks ability, or the guy in the system has not given him this authority, or even Li Mingda feels that he can reach anywhere in his life.
You have to know that according to the current troop transportation distance, it takes about half a year to a year to reach the Mediterranean area by land, and the supplies consumed are astronomical, and super long supplies are very fatal to war.
The only thing that made Li Mingda somewhat reassured was that in terms of the current population of the entire earth, unless the entire Europe was unified, they would not be able to compare with the Tang Dynasty.
If he conquers Nanya again, it doesn't seem impossible to pull those people up together.
I am not afraid of water shortages or septicemia in the ocean now. Some modern and exquisite gadgets such as simple seawater desalination devices can also be made in this era. If sepsis is caused, I only need to bring some oranges and so on.
The only thing missing is actually enough steel and a large number of factories. If Li Mingda fully develops the military industry, the quality of life of ordinary people will not be effectively improved. The technology of the people in the rear will not be able to keep up, and medical and health care will not be good. Population growth will still affect our own plans, which will affect people's health.
This is like an endless cycle. You can neither use force nor leave it alone. You can only rely on some epoch-making technology to make surprise attacks on the battlefield, but it is difficult to achieve a final victory.
The airship he used in the Battle of Tubo was a complete trick. The opponent did not have powerful long-range crossbows. If he went to the Mediterranean to fight those countries, these things could no longer be used to determine the outcome.
After freeing up my hands to take care of Changsun Wuji and the others, I need a technological revolution.
