    After attending the morning court the next day, Chang Sun Chong followed the young eunuch to the Tai Chi Hall, where many ministers were already waiting.  Changsun Chong thought to himself, it seems that Li Er is really successful this time, and the war is probably not far away. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of their arms, everyone ate what Li Er had asked someone to bring back from the imperial kitchen.  It's rare to eat in the palace, so of course you can't be polite.  If you want the horse to run, you must feed it. Li Er was also happy to dine with the courtiers.  Especially when I saw them eating in such a fussy manner, I felt that the ordinary meals they usually eat tasted very good today.  Changsun Chong finally grabbed a basket of xiaolongbao. If he had been slower, he would probably be hungry.  When he saw these old killers today, he didn't care where he was. He had to eat first before talking.  I saw Cheng Yaojin pinching two small steamed buns from the hot steamer with one hand and throwing them into his mouth together.  Yuchi Jingde did not use the bowl, but directly picked up the small bucket of porridge, and took a mouthful. This eating style can no longer be described as bold.  Changsun Chong is the youngest here. If he doesn¡¯t hurry up, he will simply go hungry.  This is the experience accumulated in the past. A good man will not suffer the immediate losses!  Eat first before talking about other things. If your stomach is empty, everything will be empty.  After eating and drinking, everyone finally had the energy to get down to business.  Li Er pointed at the map and said: "Everyone, I called you here today to discuss the war against Japan." Li Er decided on the focus of the discussion from the beginning and did not give others a chance to chirp.  Zhang Daliang has been in charge of the navy. It already has 50,000 elite soldiers and another 50,000 are being trained.  Since there was no war to fight, Zhang Daliang could only lead the navy back and forth along the coast to fight against pirates.  After more than three years of governance, the waters of Datang are peaceful.  Whether it was the Tang Dynasty¡¯s own merchant ships that benefited a lot, those of Persia.  As well as overseas merchant ships, they felt most at ease doing business in Datang.  Not only will the government not bully them, but they can also do business safely.  Because Persian food was often plundered by local pirates in the small countries on the southeast coast, they even paid a large sum of money to ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help them extinguish the water pirates.  In addition, there are not only Persian food for overseas trade, but also many Datang merchant ships.  Since someone is paying, Li Er made a calculation in his mind. Not only does it cost nothing to send troops, but he can also make money.  And he still followed in the name of protecting the caravan.  Not only has it been praised by Datang businessmen, but it has also been praised by overseas friends.  More importantly, the Tang Navy gained a lot of practical experience at sea through escorting and attacking pirates.  Changsun Chong is not a pedantic person either.  Now that the Tang Dynasty caravan has arrived at the southeast coast, it is not in vain.  spices.  Gems and other things were constantly shipped to Chang'an, making a lot of money.  This money can be used by the navy to build ships and train troops.  "Your Majesty, the people in Dengzhou were massacred. They are waiting day and night for our Tang Dynasty court to seek justice for them! The Japanese are so hateful. If they really fight with real guns and Tang soldiers, the number of casualties will be determined by each one.  Destiny. After all, as a soldier, he lives and dies for the country, and after experience and training, his skills are inferior to others. However, the people in the slaughtered villages in Dengzhou are old, weak, women and children, and they have no strength.  We, the Tang Dynasty, were unable to fight across the sea before, but now that our Tang Dynasty navy has matured, it is time to set sail and serve our country loyally.  "Zhang Daliang returned to Beijing to report on his work this time. He should have gone back long ago, but was stopped by Li Er.  Since then, Zhang Daliang has been scratching his head. Is there going to be a war?  Their skin is itching with idleness. Every time they fight pirates, they get tired of fighting them. Recently, there are even no pirates left, so they can only sit around and take a bath in the sea.  Zhang Daliang¡¯s words were sonorous, powerful and well-founded.  After hearing this, Li Er nodded and asked: "Assistant machine, can the money and food from the Ministry of Household Affairs be enough for this expedition?" Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, throughout the Tang Dynasty, the promotion of high-yielding rice has led to bumper harvests year after year.  The granaries are full, enough for the people of the Tang Dynasty for two years. However, there is still a lot of food in the people's homes, so the money and food for this expedition is not a problem at all." "Well!" Li Er nodded, "Then who can do it this time.  Become the head coach? " Li Er looked at the old Li Jing and couldn't bear that he was so old and had to travel across the ocean to fight.  Cheng Yaojin stepped forward, slapped his chest loudly, and said, "Your Majesty, I, old Cheng, volunteered to serve as commander-in-chief!" Li Er really wanted to slap himself hard, and slap Cheng Yaojin twice more. Cheng Yaojin could do this.  Be a commander, but not the commander-in-chief of the entire army!  "The journey this time is long, so we need to think more carefully." Li Er said in a deep voice.  When Li Jing saw Li Er looking at him, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have volunteered to serve as commander-in-chief and serve your Majesty."Solve problems and promote the power of the Tang Dynasty.  " Li Er was in a dilemma and wanted Li Jing to go, but his age was there after all. "I hope that Aiqing will go, but I know that Aiqing is not young, and I can't bear to have Aiqing travel across the ocean and have a hard time traveling.  "Li Er was in a dilemma, hesitating whether he should let Li Jing go over or not. After hearing this, Li Jing was very relieved and said: "Your Majesty, with your words, I will not hesitate to die."  " Li Er heard this and said, "Let's discuss the matter of the coach for now. Let's talk about how to capture the Japanese country first.  " "Of course, if we bring all 50,000 navy troops and 30,000 army troops, we can definitely capture Japan.  "Cheng Yaojin said loudly, only knowing how to act recklessly. Li Er didn't say anything after hearing this. He didn't agree or nod. He saw Changsun Chong yawning boredly and said, "Xianxiang, what's your magic trick?  " As soon as Li Er finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Changsun Chong. Changsun Chong heard this and said: "My son-in-law feels that this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. It would be too risky for the army to press on him.  After all, this is the hard work of training the athletes of the Tang Dynasty, which is very valuable.  " "Don't come here to learn, come here to learn something!  "Cheng Yaojin didn't like the way Changsun Chong was going around. Changsun Chong was holding back a mouthful of blood, but Cheng Yaojin could say this, but he couldn't answer like this. "You wait for your nephew to finish speaking.  Could you please comment again?  "Li Ji couldn't stand it anymore. "Well, keep talking, don't hide it.  " Li Er explained that Changsun Chong's ideas are often very useful. Changsun Chong stood in the middle and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, first of all, when we fight foreign affairs, we must first settle down at home. The country is very stable for the time being, so there is nothing to worry about.  The King of Jiangxia went to Tubo to see off his bride. His son-in-law felt that the King of Jiangxia continued to patrol the southwest, northwest and other places, and had already set his sights on the west.  The second is to pay attention to Goguryeo and Nanzhao and other places, and wait for orders in a wartime state.  In order to have some restless effects take the opportunity to cause trouble.  " "A good person must be at peace with the outside world.  "Li Er nodded, and everyone nodded, "An Nei said, come here, how do you deal with the outsiders?  Changsun Chong pointed to the map and said: "Ryukyu Kingdom has good relations with the Tang Dynasty. This can be seen from the tribute sent to the Tang Dynasty every year. We must respect and encourage such a vassal state, so the court  Send people to the last time, and then build a base in the Ryukyu Kingdom close to the Japanese Kingdom.  Although we have a navy, to occupy the Japanese country, we must land ashore, which requires a lot of food and grass. Traveling thousands of miles across the ocean is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is not as good as farming it ourselves and eating with confidence.  " "Well, then we just need to transport rice seeds there.  "Li Er nodded, this is a good idea. In this way, at least there is no need to transport food and grass in large quantities. "Then establish a military base on Ryukyu Island or the occupied Japanese island, so that the soldiers will not look like rootless people.  Ping, we have a place to stay.  Advance to attack, retreat to defend!  Kill two birds with one stone.  " Changsun Chong replied. "Is there any more?  "Li Er asked again. "Then, the Japanese territory we conquered must be managed by someone, so we have to immigrate there, and then transport the Japanese prisoners to other places to do hard work to atone for their sins.  How to relocate the officials and people here is the final issue for the court to consider.  " Changsun Chong divided into three major steps to proceed at this point. Li Er listened, nodded repeatedly, and said: "Our large-scale borrowing of Ryukyu Islands will cause criticism?  " Changsun Chong heard this, shook his head and said: "What are you criticizing? The Japanese country has bullied the Ryukyu Kingdom in recent years. It has long wanted to retaliate, but it has never had the power.  They pay a large amount of tribute every year just to hold on to the Tang Dynasty, so that the Japanese country does not dare to really send troops to the Ryukyu Kingdom.  " After hearing this, Li Er seemed to remember that Dai Zhicheng once went to Japan as an envoy and left a lot of nails. If he can provoke a fight between the Japanese and the Ryukyu Kingdom, it would be best if the Ryukyu Kingdom is beaten badly, and then the Ryukyu Kingdom requests  If the Tang Dynasty sends troops, everything will be more justified, and it will win the love of the people of Ryukyu Kingdom. "Well, that's great!  "Li Er said in a deep voice, the weather is now cold and not suitable for going to sea, so he just took the opportunity to plan this matter. Li Jing stepped forward again and said: "Your Majesty, since we want to set up a military base in the Ryukyu Kingdom, then I can command the entire army.  No need to work hard.  " When Li Er heard this, he became interested and said: "Ai Qing's loyalty is a lesson!  I am very relieved that the Tang Dynasty is blessed and the people are blessed.  " "I am so ashamed of myself!  "Li Jing knelt on the ground and said respectfully. Li Er came down personally, helped Li Jing up, and said: "This is a detailed map of the Japanese and Ryukyu Kingdoms. Aiqing can take it back and study it. I hope Aiqing can formulate an ingenious strategy to reduce the number of soldiers.  casualties.  " "Wei Chen takes the edict!  "Li Jing took the map and felt excited. He hit itAfter fighting for a lifetime, although he is no longer young, the thought of going to the battlefield makes his blood boil like a young man's.  Several civil servants talked about some details one after another, including money and food, subsequent officials, and the people who were to be relocated. They were responsible.  The generals were training their troops, ready to march out at any time.  After discussing for a whole day, Changsun Chong also followed the discussion, his mouth was dry.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
