Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was able to truly enjoy long-term peace and stability. As for bridges and tunnels, Li Ke’s most precious thing here is that he has the experience of countless martyrs in exchange for their lives, as well as many advanced construction methods.

For example, bridges, the earliest cross-river bridge in China, and the later Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge were built using the pipe string drilling method. The difficulty of this construction is actually not too high. If you have to play, Li Ke is now Can also play out.

"Seven or eight days? Are you serious?" Everyone was shocked.

What is the concept of arriving in the Western Regions from Chang'an in seven or eight days?It is about three thousand miles from here to the countries of the Western Regions, and it can be reached in seven or eight days?Wouldn't it be 400 miles forward that day? !If it really has this speed, wouldn't Datang control the Western Regions just like playing games?

"Of course it's true. I'm not just talking about cavalry, including infantry, food, weapons and armor." Li Ke said lightly.

Now everyone is not calm. If it takes seven or eight days to arrive in the Western Regions, doesn't it mean that it will only take 20 days to travel from Chang'an to Persia?even shorter?Even if Datang rushed to Persia at this time, there would be no problem!

As for going further north, let alone, wouldn't that be easier? !

"So, you don't have to worry about Datang not being able to control your own territory. You only need to worry about whether your progress in conquering the territory can keep up with Datang's pace." Li Ke waved his hand, "Now let's talk about the Tubo incident."

"Since there are serfs rebelling in the whole of Tubo, and Li Daozong has sent [-] cavalry into Tubo, we just need to check in this direction." Li Ke directly reached out and clicked on the Yadong pass on the map.

There are not many places to cross the Himalayas in later generations, but for this era, there are really too few places that can cross the Himalayas in large groups.If anyone dares to challenge these passes with a large force without the logistics supplies prepared in advance, it is really courting death.

"So, when we control this place, it means that the entire West Kunlun Mountains will become our Tang Dynasty's natural barrier, and the Yadong pass will be our natural step. This place means that we can attack and retreat. You can keep it."

"It plays a key role for us to set foot on the Tianzhu Peninsula in the future." Li Ke drew a circle on the Himalayas. The entire Himalayas have been renamed the West Kunlun Mountains by Li Ke, and the Kunlun Mountains are naturally still the original Kunlun Mountains.

For this era, the Himalayas are really a natural barrier for the Tang Dynasty. The reason why the original Tang Dynasty could not set foot on the plateau had something to do with beliefs and the plateau environment. After taking Tuyuhun, Datang's restrictions in this regard are completely gone.

In the original territory of Tuyuhun, the altitude is also not low, and the herdsmen living in these places naturally have no problem entering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

"These are not problems, but Your Highness, are you sure that these serfs in Tubo rebelled and have such a high sense of belonging to our Tang Dynasty?" Li Jing asked hesitantly.

"Sure, it is my people who incited them to rebel. Of course, after bringing them into the management of Datang, we need to treat them equally, just like the herdsmen in Tuyuhun, or even better than the herdsmen in Tuyuhun!" Li Ke nodded of course.

Everyone was a little speechless, looking at Li Ke as if looking at a god.

It is the highest state of the art of war to conquer the enemy's soldiers without fighting.If this is the highest state of the art of war, then what is the state of conquering the world without fighting?Although His Highness once bought several countries such as Rao and Qiang, those countries that are only the size of a county are far from countries like Tubo!

This is not at the same level at all. If the siege of the city is played like His Highness, what is the use of these generals?

"Okay! As expected of my son Li Shimin, he did a good job. Now you will be responsible for the follow-up management of Tubo. Otherwise, if this place can't reach the state of Xizhou, it will be a failure of your plan." Li Shimin gave a good shout.

Wei Zheng: "..."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Your Majesty, are you really not covering up at all?The problem is that if you arrange these tasks for His Highness again, His Highness will probably run away.

Li Ke: "..."

"Father, if I do all of this, what are the three provinces doing? This is the matter of Shang Shusheng." Li Ke looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said.

Fang Xuanling: "..."

I'm guilty, my thoughts just now were wrong, but what Your Highness said is right, this is indeed a matter for their three provinces.Your Majesty can run, but they can't, but although I can't, I can find a way.

"I think it's better to transfer Li Daozong's guardian to go to the Qinghai-Tibet area. Oh, since this place belongs to my Tang Dynasty, I think it's better to name it Qinghai-Tibet Road?" Fang Xuanling said directly.

Li Ke rolled his eyes: "I said Liang Guogong, can you let my future father-in-law go. Your hair is almost bald by you."

Everyone was a little speechless, my good fellow, Your Highness really cannot inherit your shameless character, neither His Majesty nor Concubine Yang have this character.

"Your Highness's words are wrong. This is promoting Li Duhu." Fang Xuanling said.

What he said is correct, the governor is the top leader of the military and government, and is divided into large, medium and small according to the size of the population and region.The governor is a real-time official of the second rank. This thing can be said to be an emperor of one side. The highest chief executive of a Tao is theoretically called a Jiedu envoy, but in fact it is in the border areas of the Tang Dynasty, because it is far away from the imperial court. The center, Jiedushi and Dadushi are often one person.

The population of Tubo is actually quite large, the entire population of Tubo is about 200-300 million, and the population of Tubo will probably reach 400 million at its peak later on.

Although this population is not comparable to places like Guannei Road, if Tubo establishes Qinghai-Tibet Road, its area will be large!This is definitely at the level of the governor.

In the Tang Dynasty, the rank of the Great Governor is higher than that of the Central Governor, although both sides are the same.

The chief governors of the states including Datang are also divided into large, medium and small levels.

"Speaking of this, I think these local official positions in Datang will also need to be changed. The current system is too complicated and cumbersome." Li Ke added another sentence.

Everyone: "..." Can you please don't remember that one comes out and one comes out, our three provinces have just finished restructuring.

"In fact, there are not many places to change. The main thing is that there is no distinction between large, medium and small. The highest ranks of all Taoists are the same in terms of grades. In addition, local powers must be differentiated. For example, the military department should establish a separate military region. Each province is divided, and the military area is independent of the military units of each province."

"As for local administration, according to the current system of the Tang Dynasty, the highest officer is the supervisory censor, who is responsible for supervising and leading the administrative development of a province, and the supervisory censor is appointed, dismissed and approved by the supervisory committee of Menxia Province."

"However, the daily administrative management and specific implementation of Yiyi is the responsibility of the governor, and the appointment and dismissal of the governor is submitted to the Zhongshu Council for approval. Half a level lower." Li Ke roughly mentioned a regulation.
