I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

"While letting Chengqian come over to pick up some military merits and familiarize himself with the environment in advance, you also happened to lower the titles of your other sons. Others may think that this is to reassure Chengqian!"

"In this way, I have all the excuses, and I don't have to worry about other things happening!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up after hearing this, yes, he really has everything in this way, but when he turned his head and thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong, so he glanced at Zhang Nuo angrily,

"You really think about that apprentice of yours. As an older brother, I managed to get a chance to go on a personal conquest, so I just made way for your apprentice?"

"When Chengqian sits here, not only can he gain military merits, but I will also support him in the rear. You don't have to think about anything, and the benefits will fall on top of your head. This is using my brother as a stepping stone for your apprentice!"

Zhang Nuo was unhappy when he heard this, he rolled his eyes naturally, and replied angrily,

"So what, is it wrong for me to reap some benefits for my apprentice? Besides, my apprentice is not your son? In the end, will he take over from my Qin Palace or from your Majesty the Emperor?"

"You are as happy as someone in your heart, but you still pretend to blame me. How dare you?"

Li Shimin was not annoyed at all when he saw Zhang Nuo slapped Zhang Nuo on his little thoughts, but he just smiled.

Because he knew that Zhang Nuo was actually helping him raise his son, and he was also cultivating a qualified successor. If he was being hypocritical, it would be too boring.

As for Zhang Nuo avoiding talking about Li Ke, Li Tai and others, Li Shimin actually knew it in his heart. No matter how Zhang Nuo was allowed to open up, some things were always taboo.

What Zhang Nuo can do is to continue to unswervingly support Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and the rest is their own work.

Chapter 889 Zhongnan New Strategy

Therefore, the tossing and tossing made Li Ke's brothers tremble with fear, and the big event of almost accidentally capsizing the boat halfway was so lightly put aside by Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo.

This is not to say that this problem should be left alone, but that there is really no way to deal with this problem for the time being, and we can only rely on Lao Li to slowly start to adjust after returning to Chang'an, taking Li Ke and others as an opportunity.

As for giving Lao Li some advice, in fact Zhang Nuo thinks it is unnecessary at all. As an excellent politician, Lao Li has many things in his plan, but he has initiated it before. It's just passive.

Anyway, Zhang Nuo didn't believe that Lao Li had no idea about the nobles and the royal family.

However, it’s still the same sentence, it’s enough to understand some things in your heart, and it’s inconvenient to say and do it, so just stand aside and watch.

Of course, Zhang Nuo didn't have any other thoughts to pay attention to these things at the moment, because Li Shimin had followed his advice and would leave in an airship in a few days.

Then he is now ready to take on the burden.After all, although he was worried in the past, Li Shimin was in front of him. Although he also needed to come up with ideas and deal with military affairs, after all, with Li Shimin around, he could be more or less lazy.

But now that Li Shimin is about to leave, he must be ready to take over.

Now the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have begun to advance in two fronts. On the one hand, they have entered Linyi Kingdom and are sweeping the cities, and on the other hand, they are chasing the deserters from Tianzhu to Tianzhu.

Moreover, I have to say that Li Shimin's personal conquest is still a bit of a level. The march in the direction of Linyi is all about aggression like fire, basically the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves and pushes them across the way, not to mention maintaining a high speed.

The march in the direction of Tianzhu is different. Li Shimin deliberately let a group of people escape, and then hanged so far away like a wolf following the prey, obviously able to catch up with the opponent by mobility. Not at all.

Instead, he followed the opponent all the way to outflank the past. The deserter team became bigger and bigger, Datang's reputation became wider and wider, and Datang occupied more and more cities.

Although Datang already knew a little bit about Tianzhu, and even got the map and so on, it was still not as good as these people who were born and raised here.Therefore, Li Shimin simply regarded these people as passive leading parties.

After Zhang Nuo thought about Lao Li's strategic arrangements carefully, he felt that he didn't need to touch these things at all. After all, the arrangements were really good.

He turned to look at the other direction of the map, which was the bottom of the entire Indochina Peninsula, which was the Funan Kingdom surrounded by Linyi and Chenla.

This country is actually not a small country, at least it is better than Linyi. Linyi is actually a long coastline, but Funan is a serious country, and its land area and population are obviously much stronger. of.

What Zhang Nuo was thinking about was that Datang was still a little bit stuck in the two directions at present. After all, Zhang Nuo knew that Datang's current standing army strength already exceeded 30.

The idea of ​​Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo is to allow all the troops to come here for a wave of actual combat training as much as possible, so as to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Well, if you continue to follow the current strategy, you will definitely be able to fight, but it will take a long time, and because you fought from the broken place of Nanzhao, the forest coverage area is too high, so you can really fight. There are not many places to march.

If the forest is destroyed, Zhang Nuo is a little bit reluctant. After all, there are many rare trees that are hundreds or even thousands of years old in the forest at this time.

So after Zhang Nuo thought about it, he finally made a decision to open up another front.

That's right, he plans to re-open a new battlefield in addition to the existing Linyi direction and Tianzhu direction. According to his current thinking, he intends to let the navy, which does not have many tasks at present, bring the next batch The soldiers who participated in the battle walked directly down the coastline to the end of the southern peninsula. After landing, they turned around and began to attack.

In this way, it is also convenient to further cut off the retreat of other countries.

At the same time, there are more plains over there, and the jungle is not so dense, which is just right for large-scale battles.

In this way, Datang is still unable to fill the manpower gap that is getting bigger and bigger at present, and it can be regarded as settled.

Zhang Nuo is the type who can do whatever he thinks of, not to mention that he is the deputy coach himself, and he will soon be the coach. He can basically make decisions about such strategic adjustments.

But Zhang Nuo didn't go to Li Shimin to discuss it immediately, but immersed himself in drawing on the map.

War is not a child's play. It may seem like an inconspicuous move by the coach, but in fact, it is a very big change for the soldiers.

Not to mention that Zhang Nuo's method of opening up the third battlefield not only has requirements for the troops, but also has requirements for logistics and supplies.

To put it bluntly, the military can't continue to control the places that have been defeated. Although these soldiers have studied and managed soldiers, they are completely different from managing the people, at least not for a long time.

So this requires more backup officials from the rear!

At the same time, this place is not just conquered, it is treated as its own territory for reclamation, so it is necessary to mobilize a wave of people in the interior to start emigrating here.

In fact, this aspect of things is no longer something that a military commander can decide. This should be something that those at the top of the empire closed their doors to carefully consider.

But it's hard to die, and Zhang Nuo is one of those few people.

He is now thinking about how to arrange resources reasonably, on the one hand to make the battlefield open smoothly, and on the other hand not to waste domestic human resources excessively.

After all, there is a shortage of people everywhere in Datang today, not only the low-level labor force, but also management talents and technical talents.

In fact, this is also caused by the rapid development of Datang. The continuous development of new territories and new industries will inevitably lead to a large diversion of talents and manpower.

Even in the past few years, the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty has become much more fluid. In the past, most people, even small officials, could work honestly for a lifetime after entering the yamen, but now it is no longer possible. There are opportunities everywhere, and many other things. In fact, positions in the industry are more promising, so it's no wonder if you don't leave!

Chapter 890 Zhang Nuo Takes Over

In fact, Zhang Nuo has also considered whether to learn from the system of the East India Company, which will save a lot of manpower and resources.

But after thinking about it carefully, it is better not to play that trick.

We are not an island country with limited population, resources, and territory. We don’t need to play with class differences. What we want is not rule within a few years. What we want is long-term peace and stability. Integrate into Datang at the bottom.

Of course, Zhang Nuo has another idea, that Datang has become accustomed to the current Central Plains civilization’s consistent governance method, and that kind of soft-and-hard, inclusive style has already been deeply rooted in his bones, which suddenly created a corporate system to govern If so, don't talk about the effect, I guess everyone will be at a loss and don't know where to start.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo finally gave up on this idea. We don't want colonies anymore. We just fight for territory, and what we conquer is our territory.

And not only must it be captured, but it must also be eaten and digested slowly, so that the local resources and population will become a part of Datang.

It was also because of this that Zhang Nuo looked at the map and the brief list he had just made, and immediately started scratching his head. The gap is a bit big.

In Zhang Nuo's thinking, as the front line advances, it is definitely necessary to send people to start serving as officials, and at the same time send troops to garrison.

At the same time, there is another problem, that is, the leading party will appear in Nanzhao and Linyi.

Or let’s talk about the capitulators. They feel that the gap with Datang is too great. At the same time, Datang’s prestige has already spread here. Come on.

Therefore, they turned around and threw themselves into Datang's arms, becoming the real leading party.

Don't mention it, Datang really needs such people. After all, just a language barrier is a big problem. Someone must be an interpreter, otherwise the communication will not be possible.

This is still at the moment, and the advance on this front is not particularly ruthless. If it continues to advance, it is certain that there will definitely be more and more such leading parties by then.

After all, most of the people who came to seek refuge at present were businessmen. Because these people had trade relations with the Central Plains civilization very early on, they had learned a little bit of Tang Mandarin so that they could communicate.

But the abilities of these people are actually just that. If they lead the way as translators, they are basically done. It is basically impossible for them to help manage the place. They have no experience or ability.

But if the war continued, it wasn't just the merchants who surrendered. Zhang Nuo even felt that the king would lead his team to surrender in all likelihood.

How to deal with this group of people at that time is actually a question that needs to be considered.

Not to mention anything else, if the king really surrendered, then Datang would be able to occupy most of the kingdom with almost no effort, and at the same time get a group of mid-level and low-level officials who are familiar with various situations.

But how to arrange these people and what their future positioning is, these things need to be considered.

Fighting wars, especially this kind of conquest and pioneering wars, is really not just a matter of burying your head in a rush, or just killing your head.

Zhang Nuo didn't dare to say how powerful he was, he could only say that he should take his time, learn as he goes, and try to be careful.

The conversation was divided into two parts, Zhang Nuo was still thinking about things, while Li Shimin couldn't wait.

Don't think that he just came here to be the coach, but in fact he brought a lot of people and things. After all, there are rules for the emperor to travel, and it's fine to let Lao Li sneak away once in a while.

This kind of formal occasion where the royal driver personally conquests is really a big rule.

Just to protect Li Shimin's safety, the Imperial Forest Army, which is now the Security Bureau, basically brought thousands of them, and then there are maids, servants, and various utensils and utensils dedicated to Lao Li. There are a lot of Yang Wuyang.

Therefore, when Li Shimin was about to leave suddenly, people were in a hurry. Those who packed things, packed luggage, and contacted the airship troops...

Well, the whole camp was not so lively during the war, but it was Li Shimin who was about to leave and sang a big show.

Zhang Nuo was also annoyed by the commotion outside in the tent, so he opened the curtain and walked out.

Looking at the lively scene outside, Zhang Nuo also sighed, Lao Li is just tossing, tossing himself and tossing others at the same time.

However, let's toss about it, anyway, it's only been a few days, and he will do the rest.

Zhang Nuo turned around and asked Cao Xing to start making arrangements. He was the deputy commander before, and although he could mix in many things, he didn't need to.

But now that he will be the coach soon, he must arrange it according to his own habits.

After all, he is about to fully command tens of thousands of troops, and if the follow-up manpower is added, tens of thousands of people will have to be under his command.

So this requires Cao Xing to call someone with his warrant.

Zhang Nuo's first arrangement was to transfer people from the military academy. Although Zhang Nuo is now a marshal, he has never forgotten the boys he trained in the school.

Now that I am the head coach, I naturally have to call these little brats over to do the hard work, and at the same time see the real battlefield. Don't wait until the time when I graduate and go to the army, all the soldiers under my command have been on the battlefield. This officer has never been there before, so I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to say anything at that time.

In addition to the students in the military academy, Zhang Nuo's second warrant was to transfer people from Chang'an. There are two places, one is Lantian City, where there are a lot of interns. It is absolutely no problem to deal with some simple government affairs, not to mention that I am familiar with the new regulations and government affairs procedures, and this is just the beginning.

And the other group of people is just fun, Zhang Nuo asked Datang News to send people here for live reports and in-depth follow-up reports.

On the one hand, this is to expand the influence, and on the other hand, it is to let the people of Datang broaden their horizons and understand this new land. Don’t wait for Li Shimin to recruit immigrants when he returns. Everyone still doesn’t know what it is here. Condition.

But with the publicity in the media, it will be different, maybe the work will be much more convenient!

With these three groups of people, Zhang Nuo's staff group or assistant group is basically formed, and the rest is Zhang Nuo's own work!

Chapter 891

Just when Li Shimin had packed his luggage and was about to board the airship to go back, a case was spreading in Chang'an City.

It's also fun to say, in recent years, there have been more and more new laws and regulations in Chang'an City and Lantian City, so there has been a problem.

That is, not to mention ordinary people, even the masters in the yamen are a little unclear about the current legal provisions.

This led to a period of time when the various judgments in the yamen were very chaotic, and the speed of trial cases also dropped sharply, which was far less pleasant than the county magistrate's decision in the past.

But it was just that period of time. After that, everyone gradually got used to it. After all, these new laws have nothing to do with ordinary people.

To put it bluntly, no matter whether those criminal provisions are added or not, ordinary people will not touch them.

However, some people, especially businessmen and scholars, will gradually come into contact with these things, after all, these things are really closely related to them.

And this is the case of a case that has been making a lot of noise in Chang'an City recently!

Obviously, the yamen has been divided into several parts now, and the new policy of Lantian City has been implemented, and there are special courts to hear and judge, but in fact, the number of cases handled is much less than before.

The main reason is that due to the major adjustments of the judiciary, some of the most common cases of fights and assaults could not reach the court at all, and were directly handled by the police station. That one is not polite at all, and I will lock you inside directly.

But because of this, the court either has no business and no cases come to the door, or once it comes, there is basically no small movement.

Of course, although Zhang Nuo came up with the framework of the clauses, when it comes to the specific clauses, it must be completely different from the later generations, at least in terms of punishment, the later generations did not have the idea of ​​beheading.

It is for this reason that every time there is a weird case in the court, unless it is a confidential trial, once the trial is open, it will immediately make the case spread.

But the case that made a lot of noise this time is a little different from the previous ones. This case was not accepted by the Chang'an City Court at all, but was provoked by the "imperial petition" directly at the gate of the palace.

If it was just like this, it might just spread among the people of Chang'an for a day or two before it disappeared, but if the defendant in the court case was Zhang Nuo, king of Qin, and Li Chengqian, the prince of the supervisory country, accepted the case, then what happened? But it's big.

In fact, it was a coincidence that day. As the country supervisor, Li Chengqian not only handled government affairs, but also had to fulfill some other obligations of Li Shimin, one of which was to go out for visits.

But that day was so surviving, as soon as he knelt down over there, Li Chengqian came out from the palace gate with three or five people.

Li Chengqian had never encountered such a situation before, after all, he was not the emperor, even if he filed an imperial petition, he would not be able to reach him, it was all handled by his father.

Now it's his turn to supervise the country, so he has to deal with the impeachment. This is the first time he has encountered such a thing, and he has no experience. If Li Shimin is here, he must ask the servants around him to ask about the situation first. of.

Fortunately, he went up to chat with people directly.

Of course, it may also be because the other party is a beautiful girl. After all, because of Zhang Nuo, he has never been married, let alone married, not even engaged. Li Shimin has already let go Yes, Li Chengqian's marriage is decided by his master and himself.

Although this represented the royal family's trust in Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo's theory that he could not marry at a young age and ruin his body made Li Chengqian stay away from women in an instant.

No, seeing a cute and pitiful little fresh beauty kneeling by the side of the road makes her eyes warm.
