Li Shimin said: "The soldiers are out, do I have any reason to go back?"
This is a very real problem.
Yes, everyone has come out. If these soldiers are allowed to go back, it will not be a joke.
There is nothing like this in war, unless you win.
Therefore, we must let 50,000 people arrive at Penglai first before we can say anything.
It’s not too late to come back at that time!
"Besides, seeing is believing. I want to go there to see if it is really like this! When I get there, I will make a conclusion!"
This is the true thought in Li Shimin's heart.
When he said this, the three of them said nothing.
At this time, the situation was disharmonious, and no one knew what to do.
Until Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty, this matter is urgent. My car is going to go faster. Please sit tight!"
If it continues to be so slow, how long will it take to get there! We can't slow down because of the emperor's selfish desires, we have to go faster!
"Accurate! We also ordered an urgent march!"
Li Shimin said.
Rush march! The speed can reach ten kilometers per hour, so you can get there in less than half a day.
So, Xue Rengui drove the car and accelerated to Penglai.
The troops at the rear received the order and followed up in batches.
First came the cavalry, then the infantry and so on.
Their speed increased and they headed towards their destination.
And someone notified the port, where a hundred warships were ready.
These ships are very large! Their combat power is frighteningly high!
Suddenly, a large number of ships were docked in the entire sea area of Horai Land.
…
When it was past nine o'clock, Li Shimin and others finally arrived at Penglai.
There you can see a large number of ships getting ready for departure.
Just wait for the troops from the rear to come and get on the ship to expand their combat power.
When Li Shimin saw the situation in front of him.
I couldn't help but sigh and praise.
"I didn't expect that our Tang army could gather such a large number of ships in such a short period of time. Xue Rengui, you did a good job! You actually gathered them before I arrived!"
Li Lizhi then followed Li Shimin and said:
"Father, these telegrams were sent in advance! After you gave the order, Rengui asked the people below to send the telegram here, and to gather troops and ships as quickly as possible! Just follow your orders!"
So that’s how it is.
It can be said that Xue Rengui made full use of the telegraph.
If mobile phones had not become popular, it would have been faster to call.
For now, a telegraph is enough, and a telephone call is not necessary for the time being.
However, Li Shimin hasn't arrived yet. Calling so many people and waiting in vain will only make everyone tired and affect the combat effectiveness, which is not very good.
This very testing order was issued, but Xue Rengui did a good job.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with what he saw.
"Okay, very good! Xue Rengui, you really have your own way, and your combat response speed is worthy of praise. In the future, the telegraph summons should be advocated among the Tang army!"
Using telegraph to arrange a specific Morse code is actually not much slower than the telephone.
As long as both sides have the combat code, they can directly implement it after receiving it.
At this time, the soldiers on the ship had already seen Li Shimin.
There are probably thousands of people like this.
When they saw Li Shimin, they were all shocked.
Then he shouted: "Greetings to Your Majesty!"
The sound is extremely neat.
It can be heard miles away.
At this time, Li Min, who was sitting on a boat near Penglai Land, was a little shocked when he heard this sound.
He murmured, what the hell is this emperor doing?
At this time, he didn't know that Li Shimin went back last night.
Here again today.
Not only him, but the five women were also puzzled. What did Li Shimin want to do?
"Su Dingfang, take the boat out and see what's going on!" Li Min said.
"Yes! Sir!" Su Dingfang drove the boat out.
I saw a large number of warships docked in the distance.
At this time everyone seemed to understand something.
Ji Ruxue asked: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Su Mei said: "Yes, why are so many ships coming?"
Wu Yi guessed: "Isn't it because of the Goguryeo incident?"
Then Zheng Liwan said: "This is very possible. Goguryeo and Silla are currently at war. Perhaps Your Majesty is worried that their war will affect us, so he brought troops here."
Kong Jingting said with certainty: "Nine times out of ten, this is the case!"
"What do you think, sir?"
Ji Ruxue asked again.
They were just guessing, and they had to ask Li Min for his opinion.
Li Min sneered.
"This emperor is really too idle. He is so idle. It is really unnecessary!"
Everyone is still a little confused about Li Min's views.
Why is the emperor too idle?
"Ms. sir, how do you say this?" Su Mei asked.
"Isn't this simple? You said that after the three countries are fighting like this, they still have time to send troops to harass the fourth country? Do they want to speed up their demise?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yes, now that the three countries are in such chaos, there is no time to take care of the Tang Dynasty.
"Perhaps Your Majesty wants to take over Goguryeo?" Wu Yi asked.
This is not impossible.
"That's even more impossible. Conquering Goguryeo is a long-term war, and he is not prepared! If he goes there rashly, it will only make the people of the Tang Dynasty sad! War is a very expensive business, and you should not start a war unless you have to!"
If possible, Li Min would like to use other methods to take over Goguryeo.
It's best to take them in without spending a single soldier.
That's good.
This kind of thing is very testing.
It can only be completed when the time comes.
Therefore, Li Min was not in a hurry.
And he ordered Baekje to harass Goguryeo, and he also gave Baekje support. In this case, the war between the three countries will inevitably continue.
Wartime is not a good thing for a country.
There are mainly four aspects of influence.
First, the economic impact. Some countries can indeed use war to make a fortune, but only if the war does not burn into the country and the war is supported by the people. Otherwise, a war is a huge test for the economy.
The second is the impact on population. War can wipe out a large number of people, making it difficult to solve the population problem in the short term. And insufficient population will restrict the development of the country's economy and industry.
Third, the impact of resources. The victors of the war can generally ask for various compensations from the losers, or use the war to appropriate resources in the short term.
Fourth, the impact on the people. After the war ended, it caused serious psychological trauma to the people. Faced with the destruction of their homes and the loss of life, the impact on the family was absolutely devastating.
Therefore, if we can avoid starting a war, we should try our best not to start one.
If it can be resolved in other ways, that is the best.
You can make the opponent surrender without even using military force. That is the best result.
