Next, Li Shimin asked Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin to lead troops to Goguryeo.
But this expedition was not recognized by the people.
Even so, Li Shimin still insisted on going because he needed a victory. This victory could make the name of the Tang Dynasty spread to the world forever.
And let some forces know how powerful they are.
At this time, I was in the Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin listened to Empress Changsun talking about why the people refused to go to war.
"For the sake of the common people in the world and the stability of the border areas, why do the people oppose this war?"
Li Shimin asked Queen Changsun very puzzled.
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, because the war needs to consume a lot of money, and the country of Goguryeo has fought countless times, each time it takes about half a year. This period of time is too much. He is not like Bai Bai.
It is as weak as Baekje, but on the contrary, it is stronger than Baekje and Xintang combined. So the people think that this war will consume too much time and money, because they are opposed to it!"
Having said this, Li Shimin probably understood.
But he said: "That was just before, but it is different now! I have a thousand helicopters, such a powerful Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty! These helicopters are also equipped with machine guns and can pull some cannons. The round trip only takes one day.
A hundred thousand troops are following behind them! By the time they arrive, the city in front has been captured! Coupled with Xintang's cooperation, they will definitely take down the opponent within a month at most!"
Li Shimin said firmly.
War now is different from before.
Still unable to defeat Goguryeo for many reasons.
Now Li Shimin wants to take Goguryeo within a month.
That's not impossible.
After all, today's weapons are already very powerful.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun said: "Perhaps it will take time to prove it before it can be recognized by the people."
Yes, the people will not believe what you say now.
As long as you withstand the pressure and prove it to the people, they won't say anything.
"Yes, it will take time to prove all this." Li Shimin murmured.
This time he fully believed that these weapons would work.
Then, he shouted: "Here comes someone!"
"yes!"
A eunuch appears.
"Pass on my order to conquer Goguryeo and announce it to the world! I want everyone in the world to know about it!"
This is an opportunity to establish your authority.
From the beginning of the war to the end, Li Shimin wanted everyone in the world to know.
Especially people from neighboring countries.
Let them understand how powerful they are.
In this way, it will be possible for all nations to come to court.
"yes!"
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin, Li Shimin was going to be very high-profile this time.
Strength must be shown and let everyone see it, only then will it be useful.
This is what Li Shimin has in mind.
"Your Majesty, can we really capture Goguryeo within a month?"
Queen Changsun asked doubtfully.
"Why, you don't believe me?"
Li Shimin asked back.
"No, no, no, but half of the month is spent marching. In fact, the actual fighting time is less than half a month!"
Queen Changsun said so.
Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.
He said: "Before the march arrived, we had already gone deep into the enemy's rear. After the march arrived, they were still not chickens and dogs. You believe me, it will take a month at most, not more than a month."
Li Shimin didn't know where he got his confidence from.
Anyway, he was very confident that he could win the difficult subject of Goguryeo within a month.
"Can……"
"Okay, let's not discuss this issue."
Li Shimin said again.
"yes!"
Seeing that she couldn't make sense with Li Shimin, Empress Changsun said nothing more.
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Queen Changsun said again.
"Go." Li Shimin concentrated on his own affairs.
Queen Changsun withdrew from Tai Chi Palace.
The news about Li Shimin's expedition also reached Li Min.
He was discussing something with Ji Ruxue and Zheng Liwan.
When the news arrived, Ji Ruxue asked: "It seems a bit difficult to capture Goguryeo within a month!"
Zheng Liwan then said: "Yes, we have failed to capture Goguryeo several times before. Now we want to capture it within a month, which is quite difficult."
Goguryeo is a tough nut to crack.
If you want to take it down, you may have to spend more energy and combat power.
However, Li Shimin sent only 100,000 troops this time, which was much less than before.
Therefore, no one thought he could take Goguryeo.
But Li Min understood it very well.
"With the blessing of our weapons, Goguryeo's soldiers are like chickens and dogs. When they see our weapons, they will surrender directly!"
Li Min said very confidently.
But the two of them still didn't quite believe it.
"Are those weapons really that powerful?" Ji Ruxue asked.
Zheng Liwan then asked: "Yes, these weapons have been placed for a long time. Can they really be so powerful?"
Li Ming smiled and asked, "Don't you have confidence in our weapons?"
Ji Ruxue immediately said: "That's not true, it's because of reality!"
"Don't worry, I said yes, then yes!" Li Min said again.
The two of them said nothing more.
"By the way, do you have any information on the progress of the subway recently?"
Li Min asked.
"I heard Di Renjie said that it should be completed before August!"
Ji Ruxue said.
"This subway has been under construction for a long time!" Li Min murmured.
Zheng Liwan said: "Yeah, at the beginning, we didn't realize that there were so many difficulties in the subway. Of course, these difficulties were solved in front of the workers, they worked very hard!"
They worked hard, but Li Min also did not treat them badly.
The salary they receive is the highest in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Of course, these people also cherish this opportunity very much.
Anyone who joins the Shengtang Group will not leave easily.
Leaving here is tantamount to ruining your future.
"That's good. Publicity must be done well, especially for the newly built shopping malls!"
Li Min said again.
Along with the subway, there are several shopping malls.
"Di Renjie and the others have already made a plan!"
Ji Ruxue said.
"He performed well, and I didn't misjudge the person!" Li Min said.
Di Renjie's performance is really remarkable.
"My husband has never misjudged someone!" Ji Ruxue added.
Yes, Li Min is very powerful in selecting people.
I have never chosen the wrong person.
"You should take a good rest when you have time. It's better to do less of these things."
Li Min said to them.
Originally, they were not allowed to handle these matters, but they always had to participate.
