Chapter 1326: He also knows how to kill a chicken and respect a monkey. Not bad, not bad. He is a talented general (please subscribe)
Chang'an, Yanjia Hall, Li Shimin and Li Ji are standing in front of the sand table on Lingnan Road.
This sand table was only recently completed by the Staff Department of the Ministry of War after a great deal of effort.
Li Shimin and Li Ji fell silent in front of this huge sand table, which was nearly three feet long and one and a half feet wide.
"The rugged terrain of Jiannan Road is indeed difficult... I still remember that boy Cheng Sanlang complained to me about the difficulty of the Shu Road.
From Chang'an to Bazhong in Sichuan, the distance in a straight line is no more than a thousand miles, but it took nearly twenty days to travel across this thousand miles."
"Li Qing is here, have you thought of a way to deal with it?" Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Li Jida, who was standing aside, contemplating and looking at the sand table.
"Your Majesty, I will go to Jiannan Road this time to treat the six tribes of Nanzhao with kindness and power, and I will be able to suppress them."
"The only thing I'm worried about is Tubo. Tubo unified the plateau and gradually became a climate. It was also condescending and could advance and retreat freely."
"After I wish to enter Jiannan Road..."
Li Ji spoke very slowly and very carefully. After all, the wealth in Sichuan was only connected to Guanzhong by a few rugged and difficult Shu roads.
It was very difficult for the army to march, so Li Ji's idea was not to use Guanzhong soldiers and horses.
He would only lead a small number of elites to Lingnan Road to recruit troops there to resist Tibet and suppress Nanzhao.
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and listened quietly to Li Ji's words. After a while, he nodded slowly and was about to speak.
Then I saw a eunuch walking quickly. "Your Majesty, the Governor of Luzhou, Jiannan Road, has a good news."
"???" Li Shimin and Li Ji looked at the eunuch in astonishment.
"Where do you think the good news came from?" Li Ji couldn't help but ask.
The eunuch quickly repeated it again and respectfully handed the good news in his hand to Zhao Kun, who was walking quickly.
"Li Bingbu, this is the good news from Jiannan Road, Luzhou Governor's Mansion..."
Li Shimin took the good news from Zhao Kun without even looking at it. He couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and muttered quietly.
"Isn't Luzhou always safe and sound? Good news..."
After making such a remark, Li Shimin opened the victory report, and his face immediately turned gloomy.
Li Ji had been observing the changes in His Majesty's expression attentively, from gloomy at the beginning, to astonishment at the next, to shock and curiosity at the end.
Li Ji couldn't help but be curious about the content of this good news.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"Luge, Qiesang, and Hagu, the chiefs of Luzhou and Xuezhou in Jizhou and Xuezhou, no longer became kings and led the three villages of Xie people to rebel."
"After killing Bai Xian, the shopkeeper of Han and Tang dynasties, and other innocent people, and killing dozens of civilians, the Luzhou Governor's Office received an urgent report from Xuezhou's assassin, Lu Neng.
That boy Cheng Sanlang led a thousand men and horses to quell the rebellion. As a result, these rebels fled to a cave where the soldiers hid their troops, intending to resist."
"Cheng Sanlang... one man wiped out hundreds of thieves in the cave where soldiers were hiding, while cleaning up the battlefield.
The captured rebel leader Luge feared Cheng Sanlang as much as he feared ghosts and gods, and was frightened to death on the spot..."
"...Scared to death?" Li Ji's eyes stood up. Is that little brat that scary?
"No, no, no, that's not the point. Does your Majesty's victory report explain how Cheng Sanlang annihilated hundreds of thieves?"
"Gunpowder..." Li Shimin took a breath and said with a toothache. "This kid used to prepare gunpowder to explode the rocks because of the huge boulders blocking the official road."
"There are quite a few left after that, these rebel gangsters. Tsk tsk..."
Li Shimin could tell by just thinking about it with his toes that Cheng Sanlang was quite protective of his shortcomings. Those rebel gangsters also went out of their way to trick the shopkeeper of the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses out of Xuezhou City and kill him.
As the person in charge of the Han and Tang dynasties, this guy would be a ghost if he didn't come back with severe revenge.
I just didn't expect that this kid's revenge would be so brutal. He would annihilate hundreds of beasts all by himself, using gunpowder.
Li Ji took the good news handed over by His Majesty, looked at it loudly, and shook his head after a long time.
"This boy is really decisive. He also knows how to kill chickens and respect monkeys. He is not bad. He is a talented general..."
Li Shimin smiled and read the memorial that came with the good news, and then handed it to Li Ji.
"This is not over yet. Those three boys want to take advantage of this good opportunity to change Luzhou's prison system to a system of official transfer."
"..." Li Ji took the memorial with a confused look. After looking at it for a few times, he couldn't help but complain.
"Your Majesty, aren't the three of them too courageous? Isn't this nonsense?"
"Yeah, these three little bastards, aren't they looking for trouble for me?" Li Shimin complained so much, but he still had a smile on his face.
"However, the analysis of Ke'er's memorial is reasonable. Nowadays, all the Jizhous under the control of the Luzhou Governor's Office have cement official roads running through them."
"Moreover, most of the Ryu people in various Jizhou prefectures have left the mountains and forests, and either entered the workshops of Han and Tang Dynasty merchants, worked in mines, or became construction workers."
"This is also the reason for the rebellion of Lujie and others in Xuezhou. There were originally about 2,000 people in Lujiao Village, but now there are less than 200 young people in the village. Even the women, nearly half of them go to tea farms and sericulture workers.
The workshop is doing things..."
"And because Luzhou's various specialty products have become very popular in Shu in recent years, many merchants, even Han Chinese, will go to Zhuji Tui to look for opportunities."
"This has become the norm for the animals in Luzhou, such as Changning."
"In the past, there were more than 40,000 Han people in Changning Prefecture and less than 1,000 Han people. However, in the past few years, the migrant population in Changning Prefecture has increased to nearly 10,000."
"Almost all the men and women in Changning Prefecture are either building roads, working as craftsmen in workshops, or working in coal mines..."
Having said this, Li Shimin turned his head and looked towards Li Ji.
"Since Li Qing is going to Lingnan, it just so happens that your first stop is to go to Luzhou."
"I have seen that Luzhou has been receiving good news in recent years, but it is too remote to go there in person, so why don't you go and make a mess for me?"
"I will issue an order first and inform the Luzhou Governor's Office, allowing them to make a decision on the spot. But when you arrive, Li Qing, please supervise me."
Li Ji quickly bowed respectfully and nodded in agreement. After rolling his eyes a few times, Li Ji couldn't help but whisper a few words to Li Shimin in a low voice.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Ji, seeing this old guy who was full of intrigues.
He rolled his eyes helplessly. "That's all, I can help you explain them, but whether it succeeds or not, I can't give you this guarantee."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I feel that His Highness King Wu and the three of them will definitely be able to accomplish this."
