Chapter 2830 Raise troops and battleships first, and solve the danger of Silla's destruction according to the situation

At the court meeting the next day, all the civil and military officials once again collectively dissuaded His Majesty from conquering Goguryeo himself.

Li Shimin had the patience to explain a few words at first, but he saw these important ministers spitting and spitting one after another with their plausible words.

After being annoyed in his heart, he walked away just like yesterday, leaving all the important civil and military officials on the spot.

Fortunately, today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian stood up and stopped those important ministers who wanted to go to Wencheng Hall to persuade His Majesty to withdraw the idea of ​​​​conquering the country personally.

As the head of the hundred officials, Fang Xuanling came to Li Chengqian and bowed respectfully, speaking with sincerity and sincerity.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty has passed the prime of life. This is one of the reasons. Furthermore, Goguryeo is a serious threat to the Central Plains. We must be cautious in dealing with it."

"If we send a great general to fight against it, victory will also demonstrate the might of the Tang Dynasty. Even if we lose, it will not damage His Majesty's reputation..."

"Therefore, I respectfully invite the prince to go to the Wencheng Palace with me to persuade your majesty to withdraw his orders in order to stabilize the country."

Looking at the group of important civil and military officials headed by Fang Xuanling, Li Chengqian still felt a little guilty, but when he thought about the deep conversation his mother had with him yesterday.

Li Chengqian suppressed the thought of shrinking and cheered up.

"What Mr. Fang said makes sense. But I have a few questions and I would like to ask Mr. Fang for advice."

"I don't dare, please speak frankly, Your Highness."

"Looking at the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, how does it compare with the previous dynasty?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Xuanling answered loudly without thinking.

"The previous dynasties are incomparable. When your Majesty personally marches in battle, you will win every battle and capture every attack. Everyone in the world will regard you as a force of arms.

Appoint talents, appoint generals and prime ministers to the right person, be thrifty and thrifty, and the world will be punished..."

"Your Majesty owes a great deal to the fact that the Tang Dynasty is now far superior to all previous dynasties. How could the previous dynasties compare with ours..."

A number of important civil and military ministers also believed deeply and echoed endlessly.

After seeing this scene, Li Chengqian seemed to speak with more confidence.

"I have many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty. With millions of troops, I am invincible in every battle and every attack is invincible. I conquer Xueyantuo in the north, Gaochang in the west, and Tibet in the south. All the heroes in the world are in awe..."

Regarding the national strength and military strength of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian expressed his own opinions. They were all well-founded, leaving all his ministers speechless.

Li Shimin, who had been staying behind the side door of the Zhenguan Hall, heard that Li Chengqian was convincing the civil and military officials with his arguments and arguments, neither humble nor overbearing.

A warm smile couldn't help but appear on his face. The child Cheng Qian was becoming more and more responsible and courageous. Such growth also allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, if Goguryeo was uncertain for a day, how could the Tang Dynasty maintain long-term peace and stability?

The important thing is, how can I show that I am wiser and more powerful than the two previous emperors?

Also, maybe it can be regarded as the vanity of Li Shimin, the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. More importantly, he hopes that the world will understand that although his method of becoming the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty may have a dark history.

However, as long as I can use civil and martial arts to inspire the people of the world and make the Tang Dynasty more powerful than the previous dynasties, then who will care about the dark history in the past...

#####

In the Hall of Wude, all the important civil and military ministers gathered in front of the sand table, which was nearly ten feet long and wide. Li Daozong, the Secretary of the School Inspection and Military Department, was analyzing the current situation of the three countries on the peninsula with these ministers.

After the persuasion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the fact that a group of important civil and military ministers also understood clearly, His Majesty has made up his mind and it will be difficult to waver.

Naturally, I would not continue to quarrel with His Majesty, and finally returned to the state where the monarch and his ministers were united, and began to make overall plans on how to conquer Goguryeo.

It was decided to send the governor of Yingzhou Zhang Jian and others to lead You, the second governor of the camp and the Khitan, Xi, Mohe and other troops to attack Liaodong first to observe its potential;

Wei Ting, the minister of Taichang, was appointed as the transport envoy, and all the states in Hebei were under his control;

In addition, Xiao Rui, the imperial servant and Shaoqing, sent grain from the states south of the canal to Dengzhou to prepare for entering the sea.

"A decree was sent to the Qingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, Li Ji was appointed as the general manager of the Pyongyang Road March, and Cheng Chubi was appointed as the deputy general manager of the Pyongyang Road March.

First, raise troops, horses, and warships to resolve the danger of Silla's destruction as appropriate..."

As the oracles were conveyed one after another, the Tang Dynasty, the most powerful empire in this era, once again showed the world the power of its war machine.

What Li Shimin is most gratified about now is that due to the eastward migration of the political and military center of the Tang Dynasty, the preparation time for war in the Tang Dynasty has been shortened.

If the military center of the Tang Dynasty was still based in Guanzhong, the time spent on military mobilization in Guanzhong would probably change from three months to more than half a year.

In addition, Datang's horse breed improvement plan is progressing quite smoothly. Nowadays, a large number of mature horses from Datang are ready to join the ranks, which has brought the heavy equipment strength of Datang's cavalry to a higher level.

Coupled with the gunboats built by that boy Cheng Sanlang, the combat power of the Tang Dynasty navy will be greatly increased, allowing the navy, which was originally only used as a large force to transport grain, to become a unique force for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo.

After hearing the edict issued by His Majesty to the Governor-General of Qingzhou, the expressions of all the military officials looked a little strange, and they all looked back and forth.

General Cheng, who was so proud just now because his own son had become the deputy commander-in-chief of the Pyongyang Road March, couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, isn't the edict delivered to the Governor of Qingzhou a bit too vague?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin turned his head, looked at the relative, patted Cheng Yaojin's broad shoulder, and asked in a low voice.

"Cheng Qing... do you think your third child is someone who can listen to others and do things honestly?"

As soon as he said this, General Cheng rolled his eyes furtively and said somewhat unconfidently.

"My youngest has always been honest and honest, he should listen, right?"

"Do you think I will believe it?" Li Shimin's face darkened, and he pointed at the tip of his nose with his thumb.

"Ah, this..." General Cheng was as thick-skinned as adding bricks to the corner of a city wall, facing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who had been tricked by his own son so many times.

General Cheng could only smile shyly and laugh. He was thinking about how to make excuses when he heard his father-in-law speak.

"You might as well tell Lao Cheng the truth. When they went to Qingzhou, they already had my secret order, and they will act accordingly."

After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin turned from worry to joy. "Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted. Old Cheng is far behind."

"Okay Cheng Qing, if I personally conquer Goguryeo, I am afraid that the peace of the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the government and the public, will have to be entrusted to your hands again."

Cheng Yaojin's face was solemn, and he patted his generous chest with his big hand. "Your Majesty, don't worry. With old Cheng here, Luoyang will be safe and peaceful."

"Well, with your words, Cheng Qing, I feel a lot more at ease." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

With Cheng Yaojin in Luoyang and Chai Shao returning to Guanzhong to stabilize the situation, there would be no worries at home and he could devote himself wholeheartedly to the strategy of conquering Goguryeo.
