567 Conflict
Inside the Yangzhou Xingyuanguan post, Li Ruoyun has been here for nearly ten days, and she has not been out in the past few days. A few days ago, she went to Guanyin Mountain to take a look. Anyway, the scenery here is good enough. In addition, she is indeed a little inconvenient to go out now, so she simply stays in the row and waits for Nangong to come over, and it is almost time.
On the canal, Anzi has not complained less these days. They have been walking for twelve days, and they have not yet arrived in Yangzhou, but Nangongyi is calm and hasn't said anything about it.
In the cabin, An Zi said to Nangong Yi: "Sir, if we return to Yangzhou this time, we can change another boat. I really think this boat is too slow."
Nangongyi poured some tea in the cup and said, "You will be in Yangzhou in two days. What are you anxious about? It's only now in October, and we won't return to Beijing until March next year. There is a lot of time. Why care about these two days."
After saying this, Nangong Yi began to drink tea, and An Zi asked again: "Sir, we can't keep one more high-speed sailing boat in the capital? If there is a boat, it will only take a few days to arrive even during the day. Yangzhou."
After putting down the teacup, Nangong Yi said: "If it is really to carry people, a ship can be placed in Chang'an. In an emergency, it can carry dozens of people and leave. There is no need to release more. Besides, does this ship have too many? It seems less than ten. Ship it!"
An Zi also knew that several more ships were built one after another, but everyone was looting this ship. Now, people everywhere are using it, and there are really not many.
"Sir, how is our schedule arranged?"
"I plan to first go to Yangzhou to meet the princess, and then set off to Suzhou to see Taihu Lake, then to Hangzhou, and then to Zhuhai Garden. After that, you will follow me to Siam City. This is the business. ."
"I know sir."
Nangongyi didn't say much, and continued to drink tea leisurely, looking calm and relaxed.
At this time, Li Longji, who was still calm, finally understood why Tonghuamen would be attacked. In his opinion, this was deliberately planting Siam. But now that the King of Siam has been killed, this is a bit difficult to handle.
To say this, I definitely want to think about it, but to enter Zhenla, we need to discuss it. Today's Siam is definitely a civil strife. Even if there is no civil strife, the new king will not necessarily rely on the Great Tang and recognize the sovereign state of the Great Tang. , And Datang’s dispatch of troops would not necessarily be able to destroy the Kingdom of Zhenla, unless it was a flanking attack with Siam.
In the Nanxun Hall, Xiaobi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Han, Shangshu of the Household Department, Li Linfu, the right minister, and Wang Zhongsi, General Yulinwei, are waiting for Li Longji to speak. Everyone is clear about the matter, but how to do it must be clearly thought out, and it cannot be done at will.
"I will hit Zhenla. It's too rampant. It's really damn. I just want to ask you a word, how can I win Zhenla?"
Li Longji said so, but none of the four present at the scene made a statement. Until Li Longji set his sights on Wang Zhongsi, he reluctantly said after a salute: "Your Majesty, Zhenla is a barbarian in the South. It is in a remote place. Although it is not strong, it is a place full of mists, and it is very different from the north. If you send troops rashly, our army...may be unfavorable to our army."
Huanzhou is no longer a good place to treat. It is particularly remote. Fortunately, Datang has been in business for many years to improve. But even so, the local army stationed there is also uncomfortable. It is indeed because of the lush forests there. There are miasma and mountains. If you go further south, this will not be enough to destroy the country if there are too many people.
Lu Han said: "The small Nanban country disturbs my temple. It takes a lesson. But your majesty, Chen Lakva, but the country cannot be destroyed. Once the country is to be destroyed, our army will cost a lot. Add one but this is the case. Lin Yi and Siam will also take advantage of the situation to grow bigger, which is not good for the situation in the south."
Xiao Bi did not speak. After all, there was nothing he had done. He just waited after the discussion and decrees and he did so. These major military matters are not related to the Ministry of Rites. He is here to see whether they need to send envoys or not, but this has to be done. I won't know until the negotiation is over.
"Li Xiang, what's your opinion on the crusade against Zhenla?" Li Longji looked at Li Linfu who had been silent for a while. He was the rightist and had to ask his opinion.
After a salute, Li Linfu said: "The minister thinks that Mr. Lu and General Wang are right. Don’t send troops rashly. Even if you send troops, you cannot destroy the country. This is not in the interest of our country. If your majesty insists on destroying the country, Our army will certainly be able to do it, but there must be many injuries. In addition, Zhenlaishi is a barren land, and it is useless to take it. It is said that it will not waste the money and food of the country."
Places like Zhenla are indeed mountains and forests for the ministers. Moreover, if Zhenla is taken, the casualties of sergeants are definitely not a few, and the money and food will be huge. It is not worth spending a lot of money to win and spend a lot of money to govern. This is like Silla. It is meaningless to win, as long as these small countries recognize Tang as the sovereign state.
Although Li Longji was particularly angry, he still knew what to do under the persuasion of his ministers. He also knew that it was not worthwhile to spend a large amount of money to obtain a barbarian land. Therefore, in the end he said: "No matter what, really La Zhen must fight, and must teach a lesson. Your political affairs hall will discuss it first, and then submit the result to me. Zhongsi, you prepare for it, this time you will lead the army on the expedition. Xiao Aiqing, next letter of the country Send envoys to Zhenla to inquire about crimes.” ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
"Chen Zunzhi." After a few people shouted in unison, they left the hall.
After leaving the palace gate, Xiao Bi said to Li Linfu: "Li Xiang, please stay, and the next official has something to ask."
Seeing Wang Zhongsi and Lu Han leaving, Li Linfu said: "The Xiao servant wanted to ask why his Majesty had to attack Zhenla and let Wang Zhongsi go out."
Xiao Bi really wanted to ask this. He didn't expect Li Linfu to say it at once. Then he bowed his hand and said: "Li Xiang, the official really wanted to ask about this. I don't know what's the secret of this matter. The lower official always feels that ... I also hope Li Xiang's enlightenment."
"Wang Zhongsi is brave, and he is loved by his Majesty. This time he insists on letting him go in battle. He must use this to change his position. With the arrangement of his Majesty, I am afraid I also want to see who will feel about the position of General Habayashi. Interest, things are not over the past few days."
"Thank you Li Xiang for your advice, Li Xiang, the next official said goodbye." With that said, Xiao Bi and Li Linfu left and got into the carriage.
As for what Li Linfu said just now, Xiao Bi thinks almost the same way. If you want to fight Zhenla, you can send someone casually. It doesn't need him to go. What they said in the temple today is just that a full-scale war is not worth it, and there is no benefit at all. , This has nothing to do with the leader. If there was no other reason, Li Longji would never tune a general like Wang Zhongsi to play. (End of this chapter)
