Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Li Ke pondered: "But the child has never been in contact with the navy, and I am afraid that I will not do well."

"Jiangnan built a shipyard and Lingnan sent people to build it. I have already explained this matter. As for the formation of the navy and the selection of generals, the military department will make a decision. You have the right to choose who to use at that time. There are people under your command and the country behind it. Support, as long as you work hard, you don’t have to worry about doing bad things.”

"Then can I ask my fifth brother-in-law to help me?" Li Ke asked.

Li Erbai glanced at the other party, and scolded with a smile: "You really dare to think, I can't push that lazy cat, and you still want to borrow it? As long as you can persuade him to go with you, I won't interfere."

Let’s forget about this, Li Ke is self-aware, so it’s probably useless.

"In the future, the Tang Dynasty will have at least four powerful navies, one of which is the newly conquered Goguryeo side, which will be established in Beisha City.

The other one is going to be established in the port of Qizhou, the third one is your Jiangnan Navy, and the fourth one is Lingnan.

Each has its own division of labor, but I hope yours is the strongest. The initial scale requires [-] permanent troops. "

One hundred thousand?

Li Ke was stunned. The Tang Dynasty was a government military system. If they were summoned temporarily during a major war, there would not be [-] troops stationed in Chang'an City, right? This navy needs [-] permanent troops?

Can the imperial court support these soldiers?

"Father, let's not talk about military expenditures. My son himself has no experience of leading an army of [-] troops. Are you talking too much?"

Li Er smiled and said: "Not much, Shaoqing told me that the income from maritime trade can support millions of troops, and the [-] I have discounted.

You don't have to worry about the generals. This time, Koguryo was leveled. A group of young boys have gone through experience and are ready to use. I will allocate a few for you when the time comes. "

Well, if that's the case, there's really nothing to worry about.

After finishing the business, the father and son chatted while drinking tea, until the pot of tea was finished, and the two got up.

Li Er patted Li Ke on the shoulder and said earnestly: "My son, if I am not here, this hundred thousand navy will be your amulet in the future. You must remember it clearly, and don't let others calculate in the future."

Li Er, who had been working all his life, knew clearly that the throne could not be passed on to his favorite third son, so it could only be passed on to the queen's son. Father, he didn't want to watch his son die tragically in the future.

As for Li Ke holding the military power, there is no need to worry about whether he will raise troops to rebel. It is a [-] navy, which cannot go ashore. Datang is now well managed in all states and roads. A [-] cavalry may be a hidden danger. But a hundred thousand navy is impossible, so this trick can be said to kill two birds with one stone and get the best of both worlds.

Li Ke couldn't understand his father's painstaking efforts, so he kowtowed goodbye to Li Er with tears in his eyes.

A few days later, the scouts came to report that those who pursued Qi Wang Li You had failed, they did not catch up, and Qi Wang Li You had returned to the fief.

Immediately afterwards, the news of Qi Wang Li You's rebellion came out, and the government and the public were shaken for a while.

The people didn't understand what it meant, and they thought what happened this year?The prince's successive rebellions?Is Datang's foundation unstable?

This time it was a real rebellion, Li Er was really angry, and cursed Li You as inferior to a beast.

Of course, almost no one took Li You's rebellion as a matter of course. A brat with no foundation or strength, how could he dare to rebel?At most, it is the one who is doing harm, and he can be restrained by sending someone casually.

Fortunately, Li Er didn't send anyone at all, and just passed an edict. Li Ji, who was on his way home, joined the Lingnan Navy and went to Qizhou by sea to quell the chaos. Therefore, His Royal Highness Qi had just launched an army and rebelled less than 30 days ago. He was captured alive by the suppression, which also included more than 20 days of passing information back and forth.

The most bizarre thing is that the returning army escorted the captives of Goguryeo all the way. Fortunately, there are more captives including King Qi Li You and a group of people. This scene is as if Du He and his gang destroyed two countries.

On the side of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, Wu Zhao received a strange order from Du Shaoqing to transport grain and grass to the northeast again, and the scale was no less than the previous war.

What is this for?The war is over, the two sides have fulfilled the agreement, we only need to pay the money, and the Du Family Chamber of Commerce has prepared enough goods to serve as military expenses for the fulfillment of the contract, what are you still transporting food for now?Is it possible that there will be another war?But who should you hit?It seems to have started to snow in the Northeast at this time.

Wu Zhao, who was full of doubts, went to find her husband to argue, and Du Shaoqing said leisurely: "Last time, I was doing military rations. This time, I was doing food to help our people. The nature is different."

"Our people?

Husband, do you want to transport it to Yingzhou for disaster relief?That's not right, obviously what you said was transporting grain to Fuyu City to store grain. "The more Wu Zhao listened, the more confused he became.

Du Shaoqing took out a small one from the study and bowed his head and handed it over, "This is the map of the countries in the Northeast. Starting from this winter, all of them will be assigned to the Tang Dynasty."

"What???

This is impossible!We just borrowed troops to destroy the country of Goguryeo, and the other small countries have not yet

No, you don't want to be a fisherman after driving away tigers and wolves, and let Datang take advantage of the trend to send troops to dominate the Northeast, right?

Oh my god, husband, you are too ruthless, you use all these tricks?Wouldn't it make the world call you shameless?treachery? "Wu Zhao exclaimed.

Du Shaoqing pressed his wife on the chair and comforted him: "Don't worry, you forgot the reason why you don't fight in winter? It's not so easy to borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty, you guessed wrong."

Wu Zhao asked: "So what? If you didn't take down these small countries, how could your husband say that these are the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Soldiers who surrender without fighting!

As I said before, after this battle, less than [-]% of the Hu soldiers survived this time. Now they are tigers with their teeth pulled out, and they surrendered after being frightened.

Then my batch of grain went over and bought those common people. Tsk tsk, I'm afraid this will be the biggest business deal in the history of our Du Family Chamber of Commerce. "

As Du Shaoqing spoke, he couldn't help thinking about it.

Wu Zhao opened his mouth in surprise, and he kept deducing the feasibility of this matter in his mind, until finally it suddenly dawned on him. Looking at his complacent husband, he didn't know whether to praise or scold him, and finally couldn't help but stepped on him. Foot spat: "Bah! Bad guy!

You are so calculating, why don't you become the emperor? "

"Being the emperor? Stop making trouble, am I at ease now as the emperor?"

Here

Wu Zhao was speechless, Du Shaoqing felt a little funny watching the little daughter-in-law slumped, and also had a kind of cute surprise, couldn't help but hugged her

A month later, all the generals who participated in the Northeast War came back. The emperor led all the military officials to greet them in person, and held a grand return ceremony for these young generals. In the Tai Chi Hall, almost everyone received awards, except for Du He. except.

This is a notorious figure in the Tang Dynasty, and now it has become a very controversial image. Many people say that Du He is a prodigal son who will never change his money. Living in the court?Why is he?If there are people like this in the court, is there any hope for Tang Dynasty?

Because of Wu Qunchen's dispute with Du He, in the Hall of Tai Chi, Li Er asked what the other party wanted. After all, Du He, the king's capital of Goguryeo, attacked Pyongyang City as the main general, so it would be impossible not to give an explanation.

In Du He's mind, he still recalled the time when he just returned home, seeing the haggard and concerned figure of Yiren in the corner from a distance, he had nothing else in his mind, and said in a military salute, "Your Majesty, Du He doesn't want to reward you, just want to Please marry Princess Chengyang alone."

There was no voice in the Tai Chi Hall, and no one stood up to object, because everyone knew about the previous bet on this matter.

Everyone was looking at Li Er's response, but Li Er avoided answering: "You have worked hard in this battle and made great contributions. If you don't award rewards, won't it make the soldiers feel cold? Let's change the condition. Since you have given up military training and want to enter Which army will develop?"

"The final general is willing to exchange all his military achievements for Princess Chengyang. There is nothing else he can ask for! Even if he returns to his hometown to farm in the future." Du He insisted.

"Hmph, will I marry my daughter to a farmer? You..." At this point, he suddenly remembered, isn't his daughter Li Lizhi marrying a countryman?

So he changed his words and said: "You and Du Shaoqing are indeed brothers, why? Want to learn from your brother?

Since you are determined not to change it, well, when you made a contract with me to destroy a country by one person, I agreed to your marriage with Cheng Yang, do you think you are qualified now? "

At this time, the young general Fang Yi'ai stood up to support his friend and said: "Your Majesty, Qinglian alone commanded 15 troops to march from the east road until they finally broke through the capital of Goguryeo. Isn't this just destroying the country by one person?"

Seeing that his son dared to stand out, Fang Xuanling couldn't help turning his head to stop him with his eyes, but how could Fang Er care about this?He was looking at Li Er eagerly, wanting him to agree.
