Li Shimin stared in astonishment, "Don't you have any sense of being a superior?"
After saying this, Li Shimin followed angrily: "Then you have to take my Li family's face into consideration, right?"
Li Yuanji smiled nonchalantly and said, "If there ever comes a day, will my Li family's face still be important?"
Li Shimin puffed his beard and said with eyes wide open: "That has to be taken into consideration!"
Li Yuanji did not argue with Li Shimin, and nodded obediently: "Okay, okay, I listen to you!"
You won't gain anything by arguing on this matter, so there's no need to persist.
When Li Shimin heard this, his expression softened, he snorted coldly, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and stopped talking.
Li Yuanji did not continue to talk to Li Shimin, but continued to read the strategies written by Li Shimin.
The strategy written by Li Shimin is not long. It only takes half an hour to read it through, but it takes more than half an hour to understand its meaning.
Because in the strategy written by Li Shimin, there is only the process of action, but there is no purpose of action and no specific details.
Therefore, without asking Li Shimin to explain from the side, it will take a long time to understand the purpose of each step of the action process written by Li Shimin and the profound meaning of doing so.
So Li Yuanji barely managed to read, digest, and absorb everything Li Shimin wrote until late in the evening.
"Second brother is indeed the hero of our Tang Dynasty. His plans and thoughts are far beyond those of ordinary people."
After digesting and absorbing the strategies written by Li Shimin, Li Yuanji put down the thick scroll in his hand and sighed sincerely.
The three-stage strategy written by Li Shimin on paper is meaningful, cleverly laid out, and interlocking. It can be said to be a very feasible strategy for running a country.
This plan for the country was not just for the Tang Dynasty, but also for the Turks, Western Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo and other countries that the Tang Dynasty could come into contact with.
In Li Shimin's strategy, the ultimate goal of the Tang Dynasty was to become the overlord of this land, and then, as the master of this land, lead the various tribes on this land, led by Lin Yi, Meng Shezhao,
The Western Region enters the West from three directions.
Among them, those who entered the west from the Western Regions were the Turkic, Western Turkic, Tubo, Tuyuhun, and Dahe legions commanded by him.
Those who entered the west from Meng Shezhao were the Tang Dynasty, Meng Shezhao, and the Baiyi Army led by Li Yuanji.
Entering the west from Linyi were the armies of Tang, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Linyi, and even the Japanese army led by Li Jiancheng.
The number of soldiers and horses gathered by the three legions exceeded one million, and there were countless servants.
Among them, the Tang Dynasty had to invest 300,000 troops, and the only troops the Tang Dynasty needed to support were its own troops.
For the other 700,000 soldiers and horses, it is up to them to find ways to support themselves. Datang only needs to provide them with the weapons they need at a price that does not exceed three times the forging price.
It can be said that Li Shimin's strategy was a plunder, a plunder by the Tang Dynasty from all the countries in the East, and a plunder by the Tang Dynasty from all the countries in the East from the West.
If Li Shimin's strategy succeeds in the end and all millions of soldiers and horses arrive safely in the west, then the west will become the paradise of all the rulers in the east, allowing all the rulers in the east to plunder.
This strategy may seem crazy, but it is actually quite conservative.
Because the Tang Dynasty only needed to invest 300,000 troops from the beginning to the end, while other small forces such as Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Linyi needed all the people to participate in this war.
Only large forces like the Turks and Western Turks can leave some people behind and continue to live on the land of East Asia.
In order to prevent this group of people from causing trouble during the Western Expedition, Li Shimin also imposed further restrictions on these people.
That is the Turks. Among the Western Turks, only children under the age of thirteen, as well as the old and weak women and children can stay in the Turks and the Western Turks continue to live on the territory of East Asia. Others must follow the army to the west.
Although the final number of troops that each party needs to dispatch is only one million, according to Li Shimin's strategy, the final number of troops that each party needs to invest is one million, which may not be able to stop it, and tens of millions of people will have to talk.
After all, there are millions of adult males in the Turks and Western Turks alone.
These people are all being driven to the West.
Various other forces were driven to the West by the whole country.
If the total number of these forces is tens of millions, they may not be able to stop it.
Therefore, in the whole process, Datang did not invest much, and other forces invested more.
"Don't flatter me, just say what you want to say. I don't believe you can fully accept my strategy."
Li Shimin was not flattered by Li Yuanji's praise. Instead, he snorted and asked Li Yuanji to explain what he was dissatisfied with in the strategy.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Then I will say it..."
Li Shimin didn't say anything, he just gave him a look that said he had something to say quickly and said something quickly.
Li Yuanji continued: "First of all, the strategy of entering the west from the Meng She Zhao can be eliminated. Because if we want the Meng She Zhao to obey our orders, we have to send a group of soldiers and horses to conquer them.
And they are located among thousands of mountains and rivers. Even if the soldiers and horses we send can defeat them, it is impossible to annihilate them all.
So even if they are defeated by us, they still have room for maneuver with us.
Even if they surrender to us, they cannot risk everything to go to the West with us.
Secondly, the Japanese country is overseas, and with the current shipbuilding skills of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to build enough large ships to go on an expedition against the Japanese country, so it is unrealistic to take everyone from the Japanese country to the west."
Li Shimin frowned and said: "But among the dynasties we are familiar with, only the Japanese are good at traveling to the ocean. Without the help of the Japanese, it will be difficult for us to open up the situation in Linyi."
Li Yuanji said dumbfounded: "But when you can't completely conquer them, it's unrealistic for them to drag their entire family to be our dead soldiers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention the Mengshe Emperor and the Japanese Kingdom, even if the Turks are about to be held in our hands, it will be difficult for us to carry their entire family to the West."
Li Shimin said disdainfully: "How can the Japanese country be compared with the Turks under the imperial edict?"
This is not because Li Shimin was Xiaoxun, Meng Shezhao and the Japanese state.
But the combined strength of Meng Shezhao and the Japanese state is not as good as that of the Turks.
Li Yuanji shook his head and said with a smile: "Having said that, the place they occupy is good. One is deep in the jungle, and the other is deep in the sea. No matter which one they are, they are not easy for us to conquer."
The reason why Meng Shezhao and the Japanese state were able to survive for a long time was not because the dynasty in the Central Plains was not strong enough, but because the place they occupied was good.
If they were not deep in the jungle or deep in the sea, they would have been destroyed by the Central Plains Dynasty many times.
Therefore, it is not that the Central Plains Dynasty does not want to wipe out these two places, nor is it that the Central Plains Dynasty does not have the strength to wipe out these two places, but the place it occupies is truly unique and occupies an excellent geographical advantage.
Li Shimin wanted to take him to the West with him. He obviously took a fancy to the Mengshe people's ability to drill through the woods and the Japanese's ability to sail.
But when Datang couldn't easily conquer others, what could you do if you took a fancy to their abilities?
If you can't win over others, if you can't trample them under your feet, they won't be able to obey your orders.
"It's a joke. Meng Shezhao just took advantage of the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, and took advantage of the miasma. But neither the poisonous insects, ferocious beasts nor the miasma can be solved.
In the past, when horses and horses were deployed to conquer the southwest, they were not defeated by poisonous insects, ferocious beasts or miasma.
The tribes in the southwest have not yet surrendered under the feet of the Han Dynasty.
Although the Japanese country is located deep in the sea, the Japanese can come to the Tang Dynasty. Why can't we, the Tang people, go to the Japanese country?
Don’t the Japanese covet the culture and various skills of the Tang Dynasty?
In the past, I, the Tang Dynasty, guarded and hid them, refusing to let them learn profound things.
Now we have packed it ourselves and sent it to them in person. Do you think they are willing to take it?"
Li Shimin said coldly.
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Then they will definitely want it."
Who wouldn’t want advanced knowledge delivered to their doorstep for free?
Even if you don’t cherish it after you get it, you have to get it first.
Li Shimin continued: "We ask them to forge a few large ships to carry these Wenhua, they should be willing, right? We send tens of thousands of craftsmen to teach them various skills step by step, they should also be willing, right?"
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Datang generously presented an unprecedented family bucket gift package, and the Japanese were definitely willing to accept it.
He also roughly understood Li Shimin's thoughts.
The tens of thousands of craftsmen Li Shimin mentioned were undoubtedly not real craftsmen. They were definitely the most elite naval forces in the Tang Dynasty and the most familiar with water warfare.
They disguised themselves as craftsmen and took a boat forged by the Japanese, and headed to the Japanese country under the guidance of the Japanese.
After arriving on the Japanese mainland, they will transform into the most elite fighting force and push the Japanese country from west to east.
With the current strength of the Japanese country, ten thousand elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty set foot on the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese country had no way to resist.
There are only two final outcomes for the Japanese nation, either to be wiped out or to surrender completely.
Judging from the nature of the Japanese people, the possibility of complete surrender by the Japanese people is extremely high.
After all, the Japanese have a tradition of recognizing the strong as their father and like to crawl under the knees of the strong.
However, it takes a long time to achieve this achievement.
First of all, Datang had to spend a lot of time to gain the trust of the Japanese, so that the Japanese really thought that Datang was going to give them a luxurious gift package.
Secondly, it is necessary to conduct long-term training for Datang's navy to make them familiar with life at sea and combat at sea.
Thirdly, it was time for the Japanese to forge a big ship.
It was necessary to send a large number of books and tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in one go. Together with the Japanese guides, it would be necessary to build hundreds of large ships.
And hundreds of large ships, with the current national strength of Japan, would probably take many years to complete.
