Chapter 0938 Why is the aristocratic family called an aristocratic family?
Many years later, the Tang Dynasty might have opened the way to the west with the help of the Turks, Tubos, and Tuyuhun people. The Tang Dynasty itself also built a dock in Linyi and began to peek at the west from the sea.
At that time, even if the Japanese country is conquered and the Japanese are used for their own purposes, the Japanese will not be able to help much.
Therefore, Li Shimin's plan is feasible for destroying the Japanese country, but not feasible for attracting the Japanese to go to the West together.
Li Yuanji sighed with emotion: "Given how much the Japanese covet our Tang Dynasty culture and various skills, they are definitely willing. But it will take a long time to achieve what the second brother said.
Second brother, do you think we have so much time?"
Li Shimin frowned deeply.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said, "So you want to give up the Mengshe Imperial Order and the Japanese Kingdom?"
Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.
It's not that he doesn't want to take them to play, it's that the area they live in isolates them from the plan.
They have the advantage of a good location, but sometimes this advantage can also be a disadvantage for them.
For example, now all other countries in East Asia want to go to the West to make a fortune, but they cannot go.
"But leaving them beside my bed in the Tang Dynasty makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Li Shimin said a little uncomfortable.
Li Yuanji roughly understood the reason why Li Shimin insisted on moving all the people from Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Mengsesho, Linyi, and Japan to the west.
Li Shimin wanted to take the opportunity to vacate most of East Asia and make Datang the only talker on this land.
Let the Han people become the eternal rulers of this land.
If this thing is done, it doesn't matter whether the Tang Dynasty can open up the road to the west or whether it can achieve something.
Because Datang had taken the opportunity to eliminate all forces that could pose a threat to Datang.
Datang could do whatever it wanted on this land, and no longer had to worry about being affected by external forces.
It can be seen that when Li Shimin formulated his strategy, he did not expect the Tang Dynasty to enter the West and discover rich lands in the West.
He just regarded entering the West as an opportunity to purify this land and make the Han people the sole masters of this land.
From the perspective of a Han Chinese and an emperor.
When Li Shimin did this, he who was already qualified could no longer be qualified.
But from the perspective of a later generation, Li Shimin was still a bit petty and still worried about this three-acre land.
The world is so big, and the culture and strength of the Central Plains are at their peak. At this time, it would be a waste not to go out and see, and not to follow the principle of "I see, I conquer".
Although the level of science and technology of this era has not yet reached the point of conquering the world and dominating the world.
But going out for a look and whether to go out are completely different things.
Historically, in the past dynasties, it was because they did not go out too much and did not understand the world well. They were always arrogant in their own one-third of an acre of land, and in the end they were severely beaten.
Now that you have the opportunity and the strength to go out, why not go out?
The Crusaders could launch an expedition that swept across most of the continent even when their technology was underdeveloped.
Why can't Datang do it?
The Crusaders relied on themselves. The Tang Dynasty could not only rely on itself, but also bring the Turks, Tubo people, and Tuyuhun people with them. Why not give it a try?
The Tang Dynasty can also try what the Golden Family achieved despite its underdeveloped technological level.
Even if it fails in the end and fails to achieve the best goal, when people in foreign countries talk about this ancient Eastern country in the future, they will say that this is a powerful, arrogant, and invincible ancient country, rather than a mysterious, conservative, and backward ancient country.
.
The Han Dynasty established its soul, and the Tang Dynasty strengthened its spine!
"If you think they are hostile, then you should train Qingque properly and let Qingque take care of them on your behalf in the future."
Li Yuanji said disapprovingly.
It's just a Japanese country and a Meng Shezhao.
When Datang looked at the world, these two forces were nothing at all.
They don't have time to clean up these two forces, but their descendants can help them do it.
Historically, the imperial education of the Tang Dynasty was both successful and failed.
The success lies in the fact that the first two generations of emperors have cultivated many young dragons, and each of these young dragons has the ability to take on major responsibilities.
The failure was that the first two generations of emperors did not know how to cultivate children's emotions, causing the young dragons to kill each other, and only one was left in the end.
Therefore, the children raised by Li Yuan and Li Shimin have no problem in terms of ability.
As long as they are used properly, each one is more capable than the other.
Li Tai and Li Qingque, for example, were not only talented, but also scheming. They fought back and forth with Li Chengqian, who was a righteous man at the time.
Let him inherit Li Shimin's strategy and concentrate on dealing with the Japanese state. It will be difficult for the Japanese state to survive in his hands.
"Are you willing to let Tai'er stay in Datang?"
Li Shimin stared in shock and asked.
Li Tai is his second son and the eldest son in the lineage of King Wei, so he is qualified to seek the throne.
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I didn't say let him stay in the Tang Dynasty, I just allowed him to inherit your strategy and plan for the Japanese country."
Li Shimin's expression darkened, "If you don't keep him in the Tang Dynasty, what will he use to plan the Japanese country?"
Without the support of the Tang Dynasty, if Li Tai collected all kinds of books and skills by himself and gave them to the Japanese, he would be attacked by people all over the world.
If we continue to train the navy and select qualified men from the navy, the civil and military officials in the court will not be able to tolerate him.
After all, his identity is too sensitive.
"I will ask Chengde to help him."
Li Yuanji smiled.
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Are you sure Chengde will listen to you after he inherits his father's position?"
Li Yuanji smiled indifferently and said lightly: "I think that now, and even in the future, no one in the Tang Dynasty will disobey me."
Li Shimin had no way to answer this, so he could only snort again.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yuanji tapped the strategy on the table and continued: "Okay, let's move on to your strategy. Mengshe in your strategy
Zhao, Japan, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla must be excluded.
Lin Yi can be included, but your strategy must change.
We cannot wait and see, we must open the door to Linyi after defeating the Turks.
In this way, when we drive the Turks to peek at the west, we can make the people in Linyi also peek at the west.
When we completely defeat the Turks, I will send an order to Feng Ang and ask him to lead the troops to conquer Linyi.
You also send a letter to Changsun Wuji, asking him to stop causing trouble to the barbarians and organize the local criminal officials as soon as possible. Use the family records of the criminal officials and cooperate with the local state capital to form a military force.
.
When Feng An led his army to march westward, he also led his people to follow him."
Li Shimin's brows instantly knitted together, "Why are Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje excluded? Also, do you want Changsun Wuji to check Feng An? But Feng An has deep roots in Jiaozhou, and Changsun Wuji
Can he be checked and balanced with just a few prisoners and their family records?"
Li Yuanji explained: "When we advance westward, it is impossible to put new soldiers into the battlefield, and it is impossible to use old soldiers until they die. Therefore, we must leave several places for the new soldiers to practice.
Originally, I wanted to leave the remnants of the Turks to train the new soldiers.
But now the plan has changed, so we can only use Dahe, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla to train the new soldiers.
As for letting Changsun Wuji check and balance Feng Ang, it is also an expedient measure.
The purpose was not to let Changsun Wuji really check and balance Feng Ang, but to let him follow Feng Ang and make Feng Ang afraid.
After all, with the Feng family’s foundation in Jiaozhou, unless we personally lead the army there, no one can check him."
Li Shimin said thoughtfully: "What if Feng Ang becomes completely powerful in Jiaozhou and wants to monopolize Linyi?"
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "Then without us taking action, the powerful people in the court and the wealthy families will try their best to torture him to death."
Feng Ang has now become a white glove for many powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, as well as many wealthy families.
If he does this white glove well, the powerful people and wealthy families will hold him high.
But if he wants to stand up as the master and want the powerful people and the wealthy families to live in his face, then the powerful people and the wealthy families will definitely kill him.
Once the dignitaries and wealthy families united to target someone, it was equivalent to the entire Tang Dynasty targeting that person.
Even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had to avoid his edge, let alone Feng An.
"But now you are instigating crazy infighting among wealthy families. Are you sure they will still have the strength to kill Feng An by then?"
Li Shimin asked in disbelief.
Li Yuanji was silent for a moment and sighed: "I instigated infighting among wealthy families. At best, I can only destroy their visible foundation, but I cannot destroy their invisible foundation.
So even if they lose their wealth, they no longer look so glamorous, they are still very threatening, and they are still not something Feng An can contend with."
The foundation of a wealthy family is not only the visible wealth, land, slaves, and wealth, but also the invisible culture, connections, and hometown.
The family is gone, the land is gone, the servants are gone, and the extravagant wealth is gone. As long as culture, connections, and hometown hope remain, all of these can be reunited.
After all, there were too many uneducated mortals in the Tang Dynasty. The celebrities who had mastered the culture, even if they were impoverished, could still quickly amass wealth.
Therefore, people can still recover their wealth after losing it, which is not something ordinary people can compare with.
This is also the reason why all dynasties have been cleaning up those wealthy families, but after those people were purged, they would reappear in front of people as wealthy families.
What people grasp and pursue is the source of wealth.
What ordinary people grasp and pursue is only wealth.
Which one is higher and which one is lower is clear at a glance.
Therefore, if you want to completely destroy the foundation of wealthy families, you can only let ordinary people grasp the roots of wealth and start pursuing the roots of wealth.
And the most important thing among them is culture.
Therefore, until the common people do not pursue culture and master culture, the aristocratic and wealthy families cannot die, and the foundation of the aristocratic and wealthy families cannot be destroyed.
Although the Li family in Zhaojun and the Zheng family in Xingyang were wiped out and most of their clansmen were wiped out, the remaining clansmen have found a place to gain a foothold and have begun to gather together again.
A hundred years later, perhaps the Li family in Zhaojun and the Zheng family in Xingyang have been forgotten, but the new Li family and Zheng family will rise again.
This is the terrible thing about a wealthy family.
This is also an important reason why the continuous sitting method has developed from punishing five households to punishing ten tribes.
Only the extremely cruel punishment of Zhu Shi Clan can completely eradicate a wealthy family.
