Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Looking at the extremely vast continent on the map, and the country that Li Ke said was recorded 4000 years ago, everyone was a little dazed, because in their hearts, China was the kingdom of heaven, but there were records in the kingdom of heaven. There is no history of 4000 years!

And the other party already has a history of 4000 years, so one can imagine how big the gap between the two sides is.

Li Ke can probably see the expressions in their eyes. In the eyes of these people in ancient times, the earlier the civilization time with written records is equal to the stronger in their hearts!

"What if there is also a country on this continent that is more powerful than Tang Dynasty? The idea of ​​the kingdom of heaven will kill people! Because the idea of ​​kingdom of heaven is an expression of arrogance! We must despise the country strategically. enemy, but we must pay attention to the enemy tactically."

"The most important thing is that we must always put ourselves in the position of the weak in order to make higher progress, instead of resting on our laurels and being complacent." Li Ke said.

"But Your Highness, I don't disagree with your statement. I just think that this place is tens of thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, so they shouldn't pose such a big threat to us." Yuchi Jingde hesitated and said.

"The times are developing! The technology is also developing! More than a year ago, my sea-going ship of Datang was traveling at only 15 kilometers per hour on the sea, that is, 30 miles per hour. Only when the wind is down."

"But this year, with the improvement of Datang's ship technology, the current speed of Datang's ship can reach 21 kilometers per hour, which is an average speed of about 42 miles, and it can travel against the wind."

"At the same time, after we have improved the observation device and some devices for calculating the azimuth through astrology, the current ships can sail on the sea at night."

"Everyone do the math, 42 miles in an hour, 24 miles in 1000 hours a day! And it only takes 3 miles to reach this mainland from Guangzhou Port, which means it takes only one month. Is this a long distance? If we go from Chang’an to Xizhou, if we ride a horse, we will only reach Dunhuang and other places in a month.”

"Is it far?" Li Ke continued to ask calmly.

"Many people say what's the use of a sea-going ship? In your eyes, a sea-going ship is useless. I used it to earn nearly 3 treasuries last year! At the same time, it also occupies a large amount of territory overseas, and these territories will be used every year in the future. At least one treasury profit must be brought to Datang! Is it useful?"

"And a sea ship can carry 1000 soldiers. With the current shipbuilding speed of my Datang, if it is built at full speed, I can have a fleet of [-] troops in at most one year!"

"The [-] army can land anywhere on the coastline of the Tang Dynasty at any time. Is there any threat?" Li Ke glanced at everyone.

"The point is, my Datang ships have been improved so much in just one year. Do you know the speed of the enemy's ships? What if they can reach a speed of 60 miles per hour, or even 80 miles per hour? What if their ships are bigger? , can it carry thousands of people? Ladies and gentlemen, the world is so big that it is not the most powerful in our Tang Dynasty, so don’t sit and watch the sky!" Li Ke said with a deep expression on his face.

Wei Zheng paused for a moment, then stood up and saluted Li Ke, "Your Highness, it's my minister who is too arrogant."

Li Ke waved his hand, and then continued: "There is nothing wrong with this. It is right for us to maintain national confidence in ourselves. Anyone who integrates into my Tang Dynasty and joins my Tang Dynasty is my Chinese nation. We have confidence in ourselves." It is correct. But as the saying goes, one should not be arrogant, but it is impossible to be without pride. If you don’t see yourself, you will be clear; if you are not self-righteous, you will show;

"Because this world is so big, we don't know where the enemy is coming from. More importantly, this is what we know, but there are still unknowns, because according to the area we calculated. So far we have explored Bright places, but only occupy half of the planet's area."

"Think about it, everyone. Half of this planet has such a huge continent. Does the other half of the planet also have such a huge continent, and how powerful are the countries on those continents?" Li Ke looked at them and asked. road.

Everyone was stunned. Now the proven area is only half of this planet?Naturally, they all know the concept of a planet. This is a name proposed by Li Ke, but now only half of the land is so large, what about the other half?

"Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you some things, but I hope you can keep them secret and don't tell anyone, not even your own family members." Li Ke said lightly, "In addition, I will push Zhongshu Sheng and his disciples to The province has added a new law to the Datang Law, which is the crime of leaking state secrets. In the future, important state secrets must be signed with a confidentiality contract. If leaked, you should consider the consequences yourself."

When Li Ke said this, everyone became nervous. What would His Highness want to say?

"In the past two or three years, you should have felt the changes in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, I am not afraid to tell you, such as iron and steel making, such as Quyuanli and other advanced technologies. In fact, I got a book from this book. It was learned from books leaked from another continent on the other side of the planet."

"I have always kept this secret personally, but today I feel that everyone's thinking is very dangerous, so I will tell you! Think about it for yourself, these technologies are just technologies that others casually revealed, and their own technologies should have How advanced?! Do you think that if they call, what should we do with Tang?!" Li Ke threw out a message that stunned everyone.

Even Li Shimin next to him was shocked, because Li Ke had never told him.

Everyone knew from Li Shimin's expression that His Highness didn't even tell His Majesty, which means that this matter is true!

"Huo Gang." Li Shimin who was sitting there spoke.

"The minister is here." Huo Gang stood up with a serious expression.

"This news is strictly forbidden to be disclosed. Anyone who leaks the secret will be dealt with lightly according to the consequences!" Li Shimin said with a serious face.

"Yes!" Huo Gang took the order directly.

Everyone took a deep breath. Just now they had learned how powerful the intelligence department is, but now His Highness has asked the intelligence department to take charge of this matter. If they really leaked the secret, can they hide it?Can it withstand the investigation of the Ministry of Intelligence?

"Your Highness, you don't talk about martial arts too much. You can just know these secrets yourself. Why tell us? My old Cheng has a habit of talking in his sleep." Cheng Yaojin yelled loudly.

"Mainly, I think you guys are a little too careless now. I wasn't going to tell you, but now I have to tell you, because we have many potential enemies in Datang, so don't be arrogant!" Li Ke said with a serious look on his face. serious.

Li Ke has considered this matter carefully. America is actually not very attractive to Li Ke.The things in America are nothing more than gold and silver plus those unique crops.

If Li Ke didn't have a strategic warehouse, he would definitely be greedy for American crops, but now that he has a strategic warehouse, and they are all modern improved seeds, the Americas are not very attractive to him.

As for gold, the gold found in these lands is enough to be mined. Compared with these, Datang needs a mysterious enemy!An external pressure is needed!
