Chapter 1659 The Tang people want to garrison
The navy of the Tang Army was indeed invincible in the sea, but in Li Wuqing's opinion, it mostly relied on the superiority of the warships. Is it possible that they could still lift the warships ashore? As long as the Tang navy can be killed, the status of the natives will surely rise. By then, do bastards like Li Wanshan still dare to look down on us?
His words were impassioned, but everyone present looked strange, looking at him as if they were looking at a fool...
Do you really think that if you are a naval engineer, you will not be able to do it on land?
Are you the only native monkeys who dare to scream in front of the Tang army?
I really want to remind him and find out how the real wax elephant soldiers were slaughtered in front of the Tang army...
But it is naturally impossible to remind such a thing.
Whether it’s Li Zhuangzhi or Li Wanshan, the native monkeys are rushing forward, and it’s too late to enjoy themselves...
Li Qingshu coughed and said: "Commander Li Hao is the bravest of the three armies, and the children of his clan are also brave and good at fighting. In this critical time, if we can single-handedly inflict heavy losses on the Tang army, I think the people of several counties in Annan will definitely be grateful and accept them with sincerity, and there will no longer be rejection." A matter of estrangement.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Wanshan with hints in his eyes.
Don't be stubborn, kid. People are being used as cannon fodder based on their strength. Why do you refuse?
Li Wanshan looked down on the native monkeys, but that didn't mean he was unwilling to see the native monkeys die. Seeing Li Qingshu's expression, he said: "The Tang army is strong. Who knows whether these natives will be defeated as soon as they fight? Otherwise, not only will they fail to achieve the goal, The purpose of sniping at the Tang army will ruin our major event."
This is obviously an irritating statement, but Li Wuqing, a smart man among the indigenous people, still does this...
"Is the young general looking down on the warriors of my tribe? As long as the Tang army invades, I will lead a clan member to attack them head-on and fight to the death!"
Li Wuqing's eyes widened and he stared at Li Wanshan and said harsh words. Probably if Li Wanshan made sarcasm again, he would have a one-on-one fight to let this kid experience the power of his so-called "indigenous monkey"!
Li Wanshan looked up to the sky and laughed, and said disapprovingly: "It's useless to talk. When the time comes to face the Tang army, you must not wet your pants!"
Li Zhuangzhi had a severe headache and quickly stopped Li Wanshan: "Okay, okay, stop saying a few words. The enemy should be united now and there should be no internal barriers."
Li Wanshan stopped talking.
Li Zhuangzhi said: "Now that Li Haoshuai has joined us, there must be other native sages who are interested in us. This has greatly increased our strength and we are no longer afraid of the Tang army! However, the Tang army is well-equipped and well-trained. The defense line should be deployed carefully and must not be careless. ”
The rest of the people were convinced.
Although Li Wuqing brought the natives to join, these monkeys can be used as cannon fodder. If you really expect them to achieve any results when facing the Tang army, you are deceiving yourself...
Immediately, everyone gathered together and began to discuss the layout of the defense line.
Li Wuqing didn't know a few Chinese characters, so where could he get in the conversation? I can only sit aside and sulk.
Look down on us indigenous people?
Well, wait for the Tang army to come. I will lead the men of the tribe to attack hard and kill all the Tang army. Let you feel the power of the natives...
*****
The city of Sanghapura has become a ruin.
A deep pit was dug in a valley to the west of the city. Every day, soldiers used large carts to transport the corpses of soldiers and civilians who died on the night of the rebellion to this place and threw them into the pit until sunset. Cover with a layer of soil and call it a day.
When the sun rises the next day, these tasks will begin again.
It only took four days to fill three deep pits in a row before all the corpses in the city were moved away, but the unpleasant smell still lingered in the air...
The Tang army poured quicklime on the city to sterilize it, but everyone evacuated.
At this moment, Sanghapura City is full of ruins and germs are growing. Just emptying out the garbage will require a lot of manpower and material resources. It is better to build a new city, so we can only give up.
This former royal city of Linyi has become a feeding place for wild dogs and lone wolves...
In Da Nang City, the Governor's Palace.
Zhuge Di looked at the flattering Linyi people standing in the hall, his eyes twitched, and he looked back at Liu Rengui who was sitting in the seat.
"Your Majesty the Governor? Is this the minister of the court that will be formed?"
These people are all merchants. In terms of wealth, they can probably be regarded as the richest people in Linyi State at the moment. But when it comes to running the country... they know nothing! If these people have anything in common apart from being merchants, it is that they all have close contacts with the Tang people...
Liu Rengui nodded nonchalantly and asked lightly: "Is His Majesty the King worried that they will not be able to govern the country well?"
Although Zhuge Di didn't want to offend Liu Rengui, he had to admit it.
Although 70% of the young people in Linyi Kingdom have been lost, after all, the territory of several hundred miles in radius is still there. How can these merchants govern a country as large as Nuo?
Liu Rengui: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this. I have already had a countermeasure. Linyi State suffered heavy losses due to the Jiadu Rebellion. As a friendly neighbor, Datang will naturally shoulder the important task of supporting Linyi State's reconstruction. Soon, there will be a horse The officials of the Tang Dynasty came to Linyi by boat to assist the ministers selected by your majesty to govern the country of Linyi. ”
Zhuge Di sighed.
Let the officials of the Tang Dynasty assist these merchants who are close to the Tang Dynasty in governing the Linyi Kingdom?
Is that still Lin Yiguo?
Although the Tang people claimed not to annex Linyi, what difference did it make whether they annexed or not under such methods?
He is really a complete puppet.
But it’s not over yet…
Liu Rengui continued: "The country of Linyi is in ruins and waiting for rebirth. How can there be no army to guard the territory after reconstruction? Therefore, your majesty can write a letter to my navy for help. At that time, I will dispatch soldiers to help Linyi garrison the frontiers and other important cities. When it comes to military expenditures, let’s work out a standard and let Lin Yiguo be responsible.”
Zhuge Di almost cried...
Does this mean that even the army is not allowed to be owned by Lin Yi?
It's just that it's a bit too troublesome for the Tang people to do this, right? At the moment, Lin Yiguo is just meat on the chopping board. Tang Dynasty can cut it however he likes and just send troops to occupy it. Why bother to hide and look for countless excuses?
Liu Rengui also sighed secretly. He wanted to simply incorporate Lin Yi into the Tang Dynasty, but the problem was that the big guys in the DPRK refused to do it...
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, a minister said: "The barbarians in Linyi are not going well, please send troops to attack."
His Majesty Li Er expressed that there was no need to go to war: "Soldiers are deadly weapons. Use them as a last resort... Now that I see this, how can I immediately send troops? But after experiencing the dangers of the mountains, the miasma of labor, and the suffering of my soldiers from diseases, although I can overcome this barbarism , how can we make up for it? Why should we care about the words?”
To put it bluntly, His Majesty Li Er, who has great ambitions, looks down upon the mere land of Linyi Kingdom...
This is understandable.
In history, Linyi Kingdom was included in the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty several times. However, whenever the Central Plains was in turmoil, Linyi Kingdom repeatedly rebelled and became independent. After all, it is far away from the highlands of the Central Plains Mountains. When the dynasty is strong, it can be invincible with military force, but once the dynasty falls, it will not be able to take care of both.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Central Plains monarchs and ministers, the land of Linyi is worthless. Although it is a pity to abandon it, it is also tasteless and worthless...
Now the big shots in the court have the same opinion as His Majesty Li Er. Just prepare for the war with Goguryeo with all your strength. The mist in Linyi is so rampant that it is as high as the sky. Let it go.
Even if Fang Jun tried his best to persuade him, he could not stand alone. Even his father Fang Xuanling did not support him...
Moreover, because of the lessons learned from Da Nang, His Majesty Li Er was afraid that Fang Jun would play the "kill first and report later" trick again and brazenly dispatched the navy to occupy Linyi State to make it a fait accompli, so he warned Fang Jun many times that he would never allow Linyi State to be occupied.
Fang Jun had no choice but to part with this fertile land, so he had to find another way...
So there was a way to help Lin Yiguo "garrison".
The Tang Dynasty is a celestial kingdom, and now that the vassal Linyi Kingdom is asking for our help, we shouldn't remain indifferent, right?
That would be disrespectful to the majesty of the Celestial Empire...
Zhuge Di could only listen.
The situation is stronger than the people. As the king, he relied on the support of the Tang people to take the throne. How can he have the confidence to refute?
He could only say: "Lin Yi will always be grateful to the Tang Dynasty. It is a blessing to have the Tang Dynasty to help him in times of crisis. Although the people of Lin Yi are poor, they are not ungrateful. If there is any way to help the Tang Dynasty, I hope the governor will do it." To put it bluntly, the people of Linyi are willing to go through fire and water. ”
Anyway, I am being pinched so much, why not say more and write nice things?
At least everyone is happy...
Liu Rengui waved his hand and said: "Datang and Linyi are in the same boat. It is inevitable to act righteously. How can we repay the favor? Linyi is suffering at this time. Not only can we, the Tang Dynasty, not be able to repay the favor, we should also increase our support. , Yizhang It shows the deep friendship between the two countries. I have here a list of assistance drawn up under the guidance of the Minister of Housing. Your Majesty, please take a look at it first. If there is nothing wrong, please issue an imperial edict to the whole country. "
Zhuge Di's eyelids twitched as soon as he heard that this was Fang Jun's idea.
What good ideas does this guy have?
They can do whatever they can, whether soft or hard. Da Nang was snatched away from the hands of Fan and his son. The most abominable thing is the "extraterritoriality" they created, which directly demoted the Linyi people to a lower level, making the Tang people in Lin Yiguo became a master.
That guy is just a living bandit...(End of Chapter)
