In this way, Li Ke inexplicably became the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, completely overturning history...

Originally he wanted to keep a low profile and develop his own Qizhou territory, but Changsun Wuji pushed him to a high position. Because there is no more important prince than the King of Shu, Li Chengqian is now in prison...

After that, he went out to the sea from the Yellow River and wanted to enter the territory of Qizhou from the Yellow Sea. Now the civil war in the Tang Dynasty is about to break out. Emperor Li Shimin is still alive, but because Wu Meiniang came to power in advance, Li Ke now has to find a way to stabilize the out-of-control history.

I just didn’t expect to be blocked by someone when I entered Jiaoxi...

With a splash, Wu Shangjie's head fell into the Dagu River, and the young man was killed with just one knife. Li Ke pointed the tip of the knife at Wu Shiming on the boat, which was a declaration of war.

"Since the emperor is unkind, don't blame me for doing justice on his behalf!"

"Do justice for heaven~!"

Wu Shiming held back tears, and everyone behind him could no longer bear it. Those who were stabbed at the head of the gun were all the eldest sons of the family. In addition, they had been tyrannical in the South China Sea for a long time. Now they no longer want to accept the imperial edict and just want to replace it as soon as possible. , Li Tang still looked weak.

Ouyang Kai quickly ordered people to sound the drums. A rash attack would only implicate his own side. After asking about the officials' actions in Lin'an and Hangzhou, he was afraid that there was an ambush in the water stronghold, so he persuaded his eldest brother Wu Shiming.

"Give the people in the city three days to prepare for their escape. After three days, they will definitely take the head of the Hunjun to comfort God!"

Wu Shiming still listened to Jin's advice. The pain of losing his son coupled with the eagerness for revenge, and he kept making other excuses. Behind him were people who wanted revenge. He just listened to his third brother's words, and the Dagu River was completely blocked by the pirates. .

What a "treat the people with kindness", this trick is really useful in troubled times. The displaced people just want a chance to survive. Even if the person who creates peace has a bad background, there will still be countless people who will follow him. Wu Shiming gave The people of Jiaoxi evacuated in three days, hoping to continue to use the people before them to force the officials to surrender.

There are as many as 30,000 pirates. They usually just live their lives and have fun. It may be easier to rob passing ships at sea, but now they have to face Jiaoxi, which has high walls and wide cities. It would take more than half of the manpower to break into this place, and smart people would not take such a big risk.

"No need, I only need three thousand people to help. You should take care of the people in the city first!"

The safety of the official family is related to the entire Li Tang Dynasty. Now that the pirates have taken revenge in time, it is not ruled out that they can invade Jiaoxi, and most of the people have been bribed. I am afraid that there are also spies of the pirates here.

Li Ke refused the protection of Jiaoxi County. He only wanted to use 3,000 people to pile piles of stones on both sides of the Dagu River. The stones did not need to be neat, but they needed to keep a distance of two hulls. The pirate ships were concentrated at the mouth of the Dagu River. , Ouyang Kai tried his best to dissuade everyone from causing trouble, not because he didn't want revenge, but because he was afraid of getting angry.

"Third brother, all my colleagues support my elder brother in revenge. It was his unkindness first. The emperor can do it as long as he complies with the public opinion. Who in the South China Sea does not support us?"

Liang Erdi turned around and looked at the people who failed to support them in time. These were all colleagues who were making a living in the South China Sea. Together with the common enemy of murdering their children, and the Lingnan pirates headed by the three brothers, they should have gained power long ago.

"Really, everyone, please support our eldest brother Wu Shiming to become the emperor. When the time comes..."

But there was still peace. Wu Shiming was not present, and it was difficult for others to speak. Ouyang Kai felt more at ease. He could still quibble with the command that everyone shouted before, "Do justice for heaven."

As a rare thinker among the pirates in the South China Sea, he now needs to appease everyone's minds and then discuss how to restart talks with the court. If he wants to destroy Li Tang, he will have to rely on troops and horses on land to help him.

Some people have been encouraging to find Jin people to help, but they will bear the infamy of the people. In addition, there are Yue family troops in the north who have been winning consecutive battles. Once Yue Fei comes to the south in person, who will win? Whether it is war or peace depends on whether the officials can compromise. .

Ga~, the door was pushed open, two minions stood by the door, and a man in yellow clothes walked in, making Ouyang Kai lose his soul instantly. It was his eldest brother with a different surname - Wu Shiming.

"Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a fake dragon robe used on the stage. Under the crown was an uncertain face...

There are gradually fewer people in Jiaoxi, and some people come to tip off the news. In fact, it is the pirates who are deliberately buying people's hearts and letting the people in the city settle outside the city. Wu Shiming and others want to make a quick decision, and some people are even talking shamelessly.

"That's ridiculous. Your Majesty, the ministers and others have gathered their troops and horses. They will quell the bandits in a few days. Your Majesty, please move over!"

Another polite conversation with no common sense at all.

"Since you originally had the intention to pacify the pirates, why did they get bigger and bigger, and even dared to attack the state capital? I said that only three thousand people are needed to command them, and no others are allowed!"

Li Ke stood up and left. This weak character is harmful to people. From top to bottom, they want to continue colluding with the pirates. Where the imperial power is not available, the local area is gradually getting rid of central control. There are too many ways out in Lingnan. What he has to do is to take down the pirates in one fell swoop.

Qin Zaiming led people to patrol along the river to ensure that the stones were not moved. However, there were Shi Gan on the stones. Even if the pirates came ashore to patrol, they only took a look. The crazy Taoist priest said that people here are afraid of ghosts and gods, and as long as there is an opportunity Once he matures, things will naturally fall into place, but he still has doubts in his heart.

Li Ke came to the backyard. The ground was filled with the largest wine jars, which were already filled with gunpowder prepared by the crazy Taoist priest. His dirty face gave people a chilling look. In the past few days, he had been heard chanting "Fire Burns the Sky" It is said that this is the critical moment when Li Tang turned from decline to prosperity. There is some other kind of wisdom in the madness.

"I have nothing else to ask for. When the war begins, I want you to stay with me!"

The mad Taoist priest paused for a moment, then continued to pour gunpowder, never looking directly at the official.

As dusk approaches in Jiaoxi, there is no one there. This land in Lingnan has never been visited by the First Emperor. Now that it is deserted, we can think of the past. The original unified dynasty was completely destroyed after only fifteen years. Unexpectedly, the original The Yue territory captured by accidental mistake finally protected the descendants of the Qin family. However, they did not expect that Li Tang would face the threat from the southernmost point thousands of years later.

There is nothing to be afraid of when pirates cause trouble. The most disgusting thing is that the people here are divided and still dissatisfied with the imperial court. The collusion between government and businessmen has been around for a long time. In addition, the so-called blood relatives and "no lower limit on imperial power" have nourished the power of clan clans. Pre-Qin's Tradition has also been preserved. If you want long-term peace and stability, you must make your subjects submit to the monarch. The best way is to destroy these pirates in the South China Sea.

Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo, and Ren Xiao, who had conquered South Vietnam for the Qin Dynasty, had any descendants survive, or were they exterminated like their own descendants? Li Ke also concluded that after the change of dynasties, the princes of the previous dynasty, Mr. Sun Everyone will be slaughtered. There is no such thing as "eternal generations". At present, only the Han and Tang dynasties are relatively long-lasting.

"God, if you really have a spirit in heaven, tell me what to do. Why would I be reincarnated as a human being?"

I have been troubled for a long time. After being reincarnated as the tenth emperor of Li Tang, I felt confused. Political affairs, family affairs, and everything were endless. Do emperors have to go through such pain?
