Li Chongyi's battle report was soon sent back to the court.
Upon hearing this, Li Chongyi led the Tang Navy and almost reached the capital of Baekje in just a few days.
Everyone in the audience was also shocked.
The last war of the Tang Dynasty was with the Japanese state.
That time, Datang suffered heavy losses.
A total of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were dispatched before and after, but the final outcome was not satisfactory.
Not only did he lose General Li Jing, but Li Shimin was so furious that he almost let Li Chengqian succeed him directly.
Although the battle was won in the end, many problems were exposed. .??.
The military system is not perfect, and the speed of gathering troops and horses is extremely slow.
Without adequate self-awareness, many people, including generals, have not yet fully integrated into the firearms age.
Of course, the biggest problem is the serious aging of generals.
Li Shimin was the youngest of his generation in the early Tang Dynasty, but he was already thirty-eight years old that year.
Li Jing was nearly seventy years old when he went to war.
The subsequent series of reforms in the Tang Dynasty were all summaries and reflections on this war.
Now, a year and a half has passed.
The military system of the Tang Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The perception of these reforms is completely polarized.
If I think it will work, I will always remain firm.
The same goes for those who think it won't work.
Even before the expedition, many people had envisioned it.
Although the Tang Dynasty Navy was integrated into the firearms era earlier and has not been affected by the reform, it will still be affected by the military reform.
So, when they went on an expedition, people kept talking about it.
It is true that the Tang Dynasty can win this battle with its national strength.
But it will definitely take a long time, at least half a year.
But now, when this military report came back, it slapped many people in the face, and it completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
Five days.
Only five days.
Just hit the opponent's capital directly from the opponent's first line of defense... What speed is this?
Even Li Shimin, who had always claimed to be the unparalleled leader in the world, could not imagine what kind of horrific things happened on the battlefield.
After listening to the battle report, everyone in the court was speechless for a long time.
Only Li Chengqian seemed content and content, and sometimes silently expressed his congratulations to Li Xiaogong.
Shier turned around and looked at Gao Zhixing, gave him a double look, and silently told him that not leading the troops to Baekje was the biggest loss in his life.
And looking at this guy's beaming words, Li Shimin on the stage couldn't stand it anymore.
He said directly: "Prince, what do you think of this battle?"
"I?"
"I stood and watched."
Li Chengqian replied subconsciously.
This was obviously child's play, and it immediately aroused Li Shimin's dissatisfaction.
In an instant, the notification sound in Li Chengqian's mind also exploded.
Forced by the old man's power, Li Chengqian could only laugh and said: "Stand and watch the power of the Tang Dynasty..."
"We, the Tang Dynasty, had a battle with the Japanese state before, and of course our country, the Tang Dynasty, won in the end."
"But everyone in the world knows how difficult it was for Datang to fight in that battle."
"When foreigners from other countries learned about it, they all thought that our national power in the Tang Dynasty had begun to decline."
"But in this battle, we, Datang, have proven ourselves again."
What Li Chengqian said is quite pertinent.
And Li Shimin also showed an expression that suggested he knew what he was doing.
Immediately afterwards, he said: "The prince is right."
"Our Tang Dynasty's armor is still the best in the world."
"If anyone has a disobedient heart, the muzzle of our Tang Dynasty will be aimed at his royal capital as soon as possible."
Li Shimin also raised his head at this moment, his face full of pride.
In this world, is there anything more worthwhile than making our country stronger?
Something to be proud of?
What's more, this powerful country was governed by him.
After hearing his words, all the officials in the audience shouted: "The power of the Tang Dynasty is famous all over the world, and your Majesty's achievements will last forever."
"Hahaha……"
Li Shimin looked up and laughed.
"OK OK."
"The strength of our Tang Dynasty can now be seen from the sun and the moon."
"You don't need to say anything more about this."
Then, he stroked his beard and said, "Today, I actually have one more thing to discuss with you."
As he spoke, Li Shimin shook the battle report in his hand.
"Earlier, Silla asked me, the Tang Dynasty, for help."
"As the sovereign state of the Tang Dynasty, we also sent troops immediately."
"Now, our soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty have entered the hinterland of Baekje."
"And Li Chongyi, the Crown Prince of Hejian, asked me for instructions whether to launch an attack on the capital of Baekje."
Li Shimin looked around at the crowd and said, "What do you think of this?"
Hearing this, everyone in the place started talking about it.
Afterwards, Wei Zheng stood up first and said: "Of course, to a certain extent, Baekje brought the blame on itself."
"But in the final analysis, he is my subordinate country of the Tang Dynasty."
"As the sect leader of the Tang Dynasty, it is unreasonable to destroy the subordinate countries."
"I feel that at this time, we should send an envoy to mediate again..."
What Wei Zheng said is quite good.
The reason why they went to war with Baekje was entirely because they invaded Silla.
But if we count them, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Silla or Baekje.
They were all tributaries of the Tang Dynasty.
Now the Tang Dynasty has defeated Baekje until it was unable to fight back, and even reached its capital.
To a certain extent, this has had a deterrent effect.
Stopping attacks when enough is enough can also show the grace of the Tang Dynasty to the world.
However, some people have different opinions.
For example, Li Ke.
He stood up almost immediately and said: "Master Wei, what you said is wrong."
"It is true that the Tang Dynasty is the suzerain state, and it is true that Baekje is a subsidiary of our country."
"Of course, we want to show the demeanor of a big country, and we still don't fake it."
"But don't forget."
"In the beginning, my father repeatedly taught the Buyeo family and the Silla Jin family to live in harmony."
“But how did the Buyeo family do it?”
"Treating my father's words to fall on deaf ears."
"Not only did he ignore the mediation of the Tang Dynasty, he invaded Silla rashly."
"It even blocks our country's envoys from the country."
"If this is the case, if we, the Tang Dynasty, still allow such people to survive in the world, where is the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and where is the imperial prestige of our father?"
While speaking, Li Ke also looked at Li Shimin and cupped his hands and said: "Therefore, I suggested that I take this opportunity to destroy Baekje, and then shock the other countries and let them know who is the master and who is the slave..."
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu."
"The art of domineering is certainly feasible."
"It can be said of the situation on the peninsula."
"Letting Baekje and Silla check and balance each other is a better choice for us, the Tang Dynasty."
"If Baekje is destroyed, it is very likely that Silla will become the dominant family."
"By then, the situation on the peninsula will be even more difficult to control."
Wei Zheng's analysis is indeed reasonable and well-founded.
After listening to what these two people said, Li Shimin didn't know what to choose for a while.
After thinking about it, he still set his sights on his stupid son.
Who would have known that this guy would hide back at this moment, as if he didn't want to speak.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown.
Immediately afterwards, he also said directly: "Prince, don't you have any opinion on this?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also sighed.
Sure enough, he is such a gangster, he will not be left behind if anything happens.
