    ?

    In June, the sun is scorching like fire.

    Because it was too hot outside, Du Qi didn't go out most of the time, and stayed in the palace to deal with things.  Now Du Qi's adjustments to the Xia Kingdom are on the one hand, strengthening the combat effectiveness of the army and strengthening the control of the army.  On the other hand, it is to increase the economic development of various regions to ensure both internal and external improvement.

    Only in this way can we develop our own strength to the maximum extent.

    In fact, it has been a long time since Du Qi captured the Shule Kingdom and destroyed the Western Turks. At least a year or two has not been used on a large scale.  insufficient.

    Only the entire Western Regions can recognize Xia Guo.

    Let everyone recognize their identity.

    This is considered fusion.

    If it is simply blended together, once there is a problem, it will eventually fall apart again.  Why the land of the Central Plains, once united, cannot be dismantled, because there is a unified culture in the Confucian culture of the Central Plains.

    The whole world must be the land of the king, and the shores of the land must be the subjects of the king. The whole world must be unified. This is common sense that has been integrated into the bones of countless scholars, so it will not change after thousands of years.

    The same is true of Xia Guo, which Du Qi needs.

    can truly be indistinguishable from each other.

    Of course, this matter has been publicized for more than a year.  Whether it is writing, or language, or making people recognize and be proud of it, they are constantly advancing, and the results achieved are excellent.

    The reason is very simple, the people have gained benefits and benefits.

    This is fundamental.

    Now the reform that Du Qi wants to do, if it is purely empty talk, it will easily make people resist.  Only driven by profit, these reforms are completed, coupled with the silent cultural influence of spring breeze and rain, in the end, after a few generations, there will be only Xia Kingdom left in the Western Regions, and there will be no other countries in the Western Regions.

    Although Du Qi seldom goes out, news about bad people from all over the country is still continuously collected, so that Du Qi can know the progress in the local area.

    When Du Qi was handling government affairs, a servant entered and said, "Your Majesty, Shangguanyi is asking to see you."

    Du Qi ordered: "Please!"

    The servants immediately shouted to announce Shangguanyi's audience, one by one the servants passed on the message, and it spread outside after a while, Shangguanyi entered the hall after a while, bowed to Du Qi and sat down.

    Du Qi saw fine beads of sweat on Shangguanyi's face, and said, "Mr. Shangguan, it's very hot outside."

    Shangguanyi said: "The sun is like a fire!"

    Du Qidao: "Come here, bring me a glass of watermelon juice, it must be iced."

    The servant immediately went to fetch it.

    Not long after, I took a glass of iced watermelon juice, which is freshly squeezed watermelon juice.  In the Western Regions, there are many melons and fruits, and watermelon is one of them.  Especially the temperature difference between day and night makes the watermelon very sweet.  Moreover, this ice cube was made by Du Qi using saltpeter to make ice. Although it is not edible, this kind of ice cube can serve as a cooling effect.  The cup filled with watermelon juice, and the glass cup made of glass, looks extremely exquisite.

    Today's glass is even more popular.

    ?Because Wang Pingping's research and development of glass has begun to intervene in life. From glass windows, to glass mirrors, to glass cups, and other daily necessities, many of them are made of glass.

    Just so, the glass business is very good.

    Shangguanyi took it and took a sip of watermelon juice. In this hot weather, after drinking a glass of iced watermelon juice, I feel comfortable all over. I just feel that all the pores on my body are stretched at this moment, which is very comfortable.  And he himself was completely refreshed with this sip of iced watermelon juice due to the heat caused by walking in the heat and the irritability in his heart.

    In fact, items such as iced watermelon juice have also begun to be sold.

    Not very unusual.

    After all, after the skill of making ice with saltpeter was introduced, making ice was relatively easy.  On the other hand, freshly squeezed watermelon juice is also easy, so Li Yanyun has done a good job in expanding in these areas.

    Shangguanyi took another two sips and said, "I made His Majesty laugh."

    Du Qidao: "Is there anything you want to do today?"

    Upon hearing this, Shangguanyi's face became serious, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the reason why I came today is because after discussion among the members of our cabinet, we believe that the current Xia Kingdom has almost been adjusted. Not only that, but the population of Xia Kingdom has also become prosperous.  .Under this premise, further expansion is necessary. Appropriate expansion must be carried out.¡±

    "After discussing, we decided that Xia Guo should go west again, ???Go to Tianzhu.  Or, go west to the Persian Sasanian Dynasty.  The area bordering us should be taken down and cannot be kept forever.  "

    "After all, although the commerce of the countries in the Western Regions is extremely developed today, these commercial prosperity cannot make us truly take root. We need truly fertile land and an area with truly pleasant seasons."

    "There are such places in Tianzhu or Persia."

    Shangguanyi used to live in the Central Plains, saw the colorful Tang Dynasty, and saw the beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty.  However, Shangguanyi feels that everything in Xia Kingdom is inappropriate.

    The climate here is too extreme.

    Even though the product is rich and there are many products, it is actually too monotonous.

    Du Qi said in a deep voice: "In the Xia Kingdom right now, our four armies have all been rested and have formed combat effectiveness. In terms of people's livelihood, they are also quite good, and they can indeed go to war. The cabinet thinks where we should choose  Go to war?"

    Shangguan Yi said: "The primary target we choose is Tianzhu in the south, because there are two major powers in southern Tianzhu today. One is the Jieri Dynasty in the north of Tianzhu, which occupies the northern Tianzhu area and is quite powerful. The second is Chalou in the south.  Its dynasty occupies the south-central region of Tianzhu."

    After a pause, Shangguanyi said: "Whether it is the Jieri Dynasty or the Chalouqi Dynasty, there is an obvious characteristic. They are not centralized like us, and they are not controlled by the imperial court. They are similar to the Spring and Autumn Period.  During the Warring States period, there were many small countries and states that respected the suzerain state. Under such circumstances, each country has its own ideas, and it is also beneficial to our planning."

    Du Qi nodded and said: "In this case, we will attack the Jieri Dynasty first."

    The king of the Jieri Dynasty is now the King of Jieri.

    The period when he was in power was the peak period of the Jieri Dynasty, which almost destroyed the Chaluqi Dynasty in the south, thus unifying the entire Tianzhu region.  Even so, he is the most powerful in the north of Tianzhu.  Du Qi knew about the existence of the King of Discipline, but he was not afraid of the King of Discipline. He even hated Li Shimin, let alone the king of Discipline.

    Du Qidao: "What suggestions does your cabinet have for dispatching troops for this campaign?"

    In the earliest time, Du Qi once set up a staff department.  It's just that the staff department needs a lot of talents to participate. If there are not enough talents, the staff department is equivalent to a fake.  After Jiang Changzong took office in the local area, the staff department was completely empty, and Du Qi mainly relied on his cabinet members for planning.

    There is no way, there is not enough talent.

    Shangguanyi solemnly said: "Your Majesty, we are going to Tianzhu. Our cabinet believes that it is not appropriate to send troops at the moment. On the one hand, we must guard against the Tang Dynasty in the east; on the other hand, we also need to stabilize the interior. Therefore, the minister's plan, this time  For the battle, two generals Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan will sit in Gaochang. Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang will lead 40,000 troops each, and they will go out with the army."

    After a pause, Shangguanyi said: "There are two armies with a total of more than 80,000 people, which is enough to form a combat force. Once there are too many people and too much luggage, it is not conducive to logistics supplies. Now there are more than 80,000 people, that is  no more, no less."

    Du Qi thought about it carefully and said, "It can be arranged like this."

    Shangguan Yi said: "Since that's the case, I will immediately convey the order to mobilize Xue Rengui's first army and Su Dingfang's fourth army to go out. Our cabinet has selected three days later for the time of the expedition. Because three days later is an auspicious day, it is suitable  Swear to go out."

    "Can!"

    Du Qi nodded again.

    Conquering Tianzhu is imperative, and it is impossible for Du Qi to stand still in the Western Regions.  Because although the Western Regions are now developing well and Du Qi's strength is not weak, there are too many flaws after all, which cannot be used as the basis for a foothold.

    Shangguanyi stood up and left.

    When Du Qi was preparing for the expedition, another servant entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Wang Ping is asking to see you."

    Du Qidao: "Let him in."

    The servant went to deliver the order again.

    Du Qi put down the brush in his hand, but was a little curious about what new items Wang Ping had made now.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
