    "Lin'er, why are you standing up even though you have a big belly? Don't you know that your due date is within these days?" Jing Wen said quickly to Cheng Lin.  Jing Wen saw Cheng Lin standing up, which immediately made him very anxious.  Because Cheng Lin's due date of pregnancy was just these days and she would give birth at any time in the next few days, Jing Wen was also very nervous.  After all, this child has a lot of expectations placed on him, because he hopes to have a son, the eldest son, so nothing can go wrong.  If something goes wrong, it could be very serious.  And if something goes wrong at this time, not only the children, but also the adults will be in great danger.  "Husband, I can't sit still, so I want to move!" Cheng Lin said.  It has been a month since the last discussion about the expedition to Goguryeo. Now the whole country is mobilizing, especially recruiting civilians and deploying soldiers and officers.  Jing Wen, the Minister of Military Affairs, has already made reservations in advance, and the officers and soldiers below are also very enthusiastic about this expedition.  Because this expedition is actually a national robbery. Anyone who participates in the battle can obtain the so-called war shares, and then dividends can be distributed.  And all fools know that the wealth gained from conquering a country can be said to be extremely huge.  Of course, this kind of accumulation in a country cannot be missing.  Therefore, everyone is very tempted by this robbery.  Of course, to the outside world, we cannot say that we are going to rob, but that we are going to take revenge and avenge the Chinese people.  So this time everyone shouted slogans of revenge so loudly that they obviously wanted to wipe Goguryeo off the map at any time.  However, it¡¯s hard to say exactly what¡¯s going on in my heart.  After all, sending troops across the country to rob people in the name of revenge is obviously not easy to say and does not conform to traditional Confucian thinking.  And what Li Shimin wants is to create great achievements that surpass those of the previous dynasty, and those with a certain culture have nationalism in their hearts, so they want revenge.  And those officers wanted promotions.  As for ordinary soldiers, they also want to get war dividends, and so do the civilians.  So even though everyone has different interests, they all point to the same goal, which is to crush Goguryeo to death.  It is almost ready now, because the army is drawn from the central army, and the civilian officials are also in charge of the local officials.  And thanks to Jingwen, almost every county now has people who specialize in doing corv¨¦es on behalf of others, so it is enough to just transfer these people away without having the local government recruit people everywhere.  And because of Jing Wen's military reform, there was also the local tax system reform.  Therefore, Datang's war mobilization ability has been greatly improved.  In the past, it would have taken more than half a year to complete these actions.  But now it has been completed in about a month. This has to be said to have improved the country's war potential, and the butterfly effect brought by Jingwen has finally been reflected.  "Lord Jingwen, the emperor asked everyone to go to Tai Chi Palace quickly." A eunuch came over and said.  And Jingwen was a little anxious, after all, he still wanted to stay here with his wife who was preparing to give birth.  "Husband, it's better to focus on military and national affairs! You are still in Chang'an anyway, so you are not afraid of anything happening." Cheng Lin said.  "Okay then!" Jing Wen said.  As Jingwen walked, he asked the eunuch: "Excuse me, what happened this time? Why did the emperor call everyone together?" "What else can we do? Our Tang Dynasty is preparing to go to Goguryeo, and Goguryeo has also received the news, so they hurriedly  I sent two people to plead for mercy. They are afraid of our Datang, so they just want to ask for our Datang's forgiveness!" the eunuch said.  The people of Goguryeo heard the news.  This is nothing strange.  So Jing Wen doesn't find it strange. After all, the secrecy effect of mobilization in this era is still very poor.  Although communication capabilities are not strong in this era, it seems easier to keep things secret.  But on the contrary, various mobilization mechanisms in ancient times were completely open.  Anyone who cares can hear the relevant news.  This kind of nationwide mobilization of the army can only hide the truth from the gentlemen, but not from the villains.  As long as anyone is willing to ask.  This nationwide mobilization cannot be concealed from others.  Only one knows how many spies Goguryeo had inside Datang, so it was not surprising that they received the news.  So they immediately sent envoys to come quickly. If only a small number of people came, a month would be enough.  "Isn't Goguryeo doing useless work? Don't they know that our Tang Dynasty has already 'divided' their things?" Jing Wen asked.  Now the Tang Dynasty has actually "divided up" the spoils of Goguryeo in advance, and those who have obtained war stocks will naturally not be willing to spit out the benefits.  Therefore, the conquest of Goguryeo this time is no longer just a stop. After all, everyone from the imperial court to the civil and military officials, down toMost wealthy people bought war stocks.  If this crusade fails, wouldn't it mean that everyone will have no benefit?  Moreover, the money spent on buying war stocks has been transformed into all kinds of food, grass, ordnance, and has been turned into various things for production and life.  These war and military expenditures have been used to promote economic development, how can they be spit out again?  Therefore, this war is inevitable, and even Emperor Li Shimin may not be able to stop the car.  "Hey, the Goguryeo people's efforts were in vain this time. They have no idea that the whole country hates them. They actually dare to use the bones of our Chinese people as the capital, and they are the bones of millions of people.  Now even the corrupt Confucians dare not stop the imperial court from attacking Goguryeo," the eunuch said.  The corpses of millions of soldiers who conquered Goguryeo are indeed an indelible pain for the people of the Central Plains.  China respects the corpses of its enemies and would not abuse corpses without overwhelming hatred.  This kind of fighting on the battlefield actually has nothing to do with personal hatred, but Goguryeo actually did this. This has already engraved this shame into the bones of the Han people.  Never before had the Han people encountered such humiliation. Even the Huns, Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, and Turks did not dare to treat the corpses of Han people in this way.  And Goguryeo was simply seeking death by doing this.  Goguryeo means that if you don't commit suicide, you won't die. If they chose this, it would be equivalent to putting hatred in the hearts of every Han people.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
