Chapter 977 Destination (repair)
How did Xue Yantuo fall into destruction in history?
Li Mu tried hard to recall that although he was good at history when he was in school, his knowledge about Xue Yantuo was basically just one sentence or two, and it was not a point, and the memory was not very clear.
I searched in my memory and found that the plot of the TV series is deeper.
The clip in my impression is like this: Xue Yantuo keeps harassing the border. Li Shimin was so upset that he summoned hundreds of officials to discuss and the ministers discussed two solutions. The first solution was to convene a hundred thousand troops to destroy Xue Yantuo, which could ensure a hundred years of stability in the border. Second, allow marriage kinship and adopt detention, which is enough to ensure thirty years of peace on the border.
One is a hundred years and the other is thirty years. It is said that it is easy to choose, but in the end, the second plan was chosen. The civil servants led by Fang Xuanling all supported the second plan. Because if the first plan is adopted, it will consume too much money and food, too much loss, and it will cost the people and cause money. The second plan is just a princess.
It happened that the general Qie Heli was detained by Xue Yantuo when he returned to his tribe to visit his mother. Yi Nan knew that he was brave and wanted to persuade him to surrender to Xue Yantuo, but Qie Heli refused to speak and even cut off his left ear to show his ambition. After Li Shimin learned about it, he was moved and worried about his safety. Finally, he chose to agree to marry the marriage and promised Yi Nan to marry the emerging princess to him after Qie Heli was released.
After Qi Bi Heli was released, he felt deeply humiliated by being captured and tried his best to advise Li Shimin not to agree to the marriage. Li Shimin was unwilling to speak without trust, but could not resist repeated persuasion. Qi Bi Heli said that if the princess married Yi Nan, the position of Yi Nan's Khan would have greater legitimacy in Chile, and the Tang Dynasty would be more difficult to control Xue Yantuo. Li Shimin was persuaded and was considering giving up the marriage, but he was afraid that his master would be Wuming, so he thought of a solution. He asked Yi Nan to go to Lingzhou in the Tang Dynasty to marry Xinxing Princess. If Yi Nan did not dare to come, he would have reason to refuse. But he obviously underestimated Yi Nan's determination to marry Yi Nan, and he agreed without saying a word.
If this plan fails, Li Shimin thought of another plan. He asked for 100,000 livestock as a betrothal gift and collected 100,000 livestock in a short time. Even Xue Yantuo would be impossible to complete. Moreover, when the sky was cold and the ground was frozen, most of the livestock died on the road, and it was even more impossible to complete. Because of the betrothal gift, the marriage bride was finally cancelled.
Later, Yi Nan died of illness, and Li Shimin sent people to sign his two sons as khans, and successfully divided Xue Yantuo, who was eventually defeated.
...
If the trajectory of history is carried out according to the past, this would be a good result. But since he has come to this era, Li Mu thought about whether he could change. At least in this matter, Li Shimin's actions are a bit sorry for the three words "Tian Khan".
Li Mu's desire to maintain Li Shimin's reputation is not false, but it comes entirely from sincerity. Even if he knew that Li Shimin's fear of him, he was also grateful to Li Shimin because Li Shimin's tolerance and grace could allow him to continue to do something for the people of this era. If it were other emperors, he would have died countless times now.
Li Mu never thought of rebelling. Because he always felt that he was a person outside this era, for example, the world was originally owned by Li Shimin. If he had no self, the wheel of history would roll according to the original trick. Why did people outside his era want to "rob" other people's things? What chain reaction would happen if history changed? This was unforeseen, and he was not curious about what it was like.
When he was lucky enough to come to this era, he just wanted to do something more to the people of this era. Li Shimin is the person who truly dominates this era, and the role he can play is to do his best to assist him.
Li Mu thought for a while, picked up his pen and wrote a memorial.
"...I have some simple opinions on the troubles of Xue Yantuo now. Although Xue Yantuo's reputation is great, people's hearts are uneven. People's hearts are uneven, and people are in a mess. We should adopt a differentiation plan, stir up the public's grievances, and enthrone the nine surnames Tiel, and make them compete with each other..."
After thousands of words were written, he ordered people to send horses to Chang'an. This was a formal decree, not a private letter from flying pigeons. Li Mu chose to do this to let all officials of the court see his remarks, because he was not sure whether his method could work, or after discussion in the court, he could be safe to check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps. If his suggestion was rejected, it would not matter, at least it provided an idea. No matter what method was used, Xue Yantuo did not have the ability to shake the Tang Dynasty. It was just that the time was long and whether it was decent, the result was the same.
After seeing Xue Yantuo, Li Mu continued to look clockwise. In the northeast of later generations, it was still a "barren land" at this time. It was said to be a barren land, but it was not without people. Khitan, Shiwei, and Mohe, many small tribes and ethnic groups lived in this place. Due to the climate, these tribes could not grow, and they were enslaved and oppressed by neighboring countries such as Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo, and their living conditions were very unoptimistic.
Of course, they did not pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and because of their weak strength, they did not even have the qualifications to give tribute to the Tang Dynasty. However, Li Mu attached great importance to these nations. In addition to the relationship between Li Chongyi, he knew that these nations were glorious after the Tang Dynasty.
Khitan, Mart, and these ethnic groups were the ancestors of later generations of Liao and Jin. They restricted the development of their tribes just because of their survival. In fact, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are not inferior to any nomadic people.
Li Mu stared at this area for a long time, finally picked up a pen and wrote something on a piece of paper.
He used English. This era has not yet been born in English. It is guaranteed that no one knows it, and there is no need to worry that anyone can understand it.
Going further east, there are Goguryeo and Baekje. As a thorn in Li Shimin's eyes, many strategies have been formulated for it, and Li Mu feels that he can no longer waste his brain cells.
This is basically the case with the surrounding countries. Li Mu turned his attention to the vast sea. When the news came back from Japan, the eldest brother of Yamabe, Wang, with the help of Ikkyu and Li Chongyi, had already taken two of the four Japanese islands, which were equally matched with the Suwo family. It was basically a confrontation and no one could do anything to each other. Of course, it would be very easy if Li Mu wanted to take over Japan. Hou Junji's 20,000 troops here, as long as he transported 5,000 people by ship, the balance would be broken.
You should know that Hou Junji's subordinates were the most elite 20,000 people in the Tang Dynasty. They had the best configuration of the Tang Dynasty army. They were facing a short samurai of Japan, who lacked copper and iron, basically no metal protective gear, and had not yet developed forging technology. Five thousand people landed in Japan. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were invincible. Unless they were ambushed, there was no possibility of losing. But Li Mu did not want to do this, what would it be for him to take down Japan? He could not live there, so he would still maintain the current situation and let the eldest brother of the Shanbei always need him so that he could continue to exploit Japan's resources. Otherwise, once Japan is "unified" again, this group of ungrateful Japanese people would not have any other thoughts.
Going further down, the corners of Li Mu's mouth slightly raised.
The largest island in China in later generations is now almost not very crowded. Most of the time is used as a port of call between Guangzhou and Yangzhou to replenish the water or avoid wind and waves. Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this place was called Yizhou. The recorded exchanges between the Central Plains and Yizhou can be traced back to the Yue Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. There are marks about Yizhou on the map of Yue Kingdom, but there is no historical material to check. The connection recorded by historical materials is the Three Kingdoms period. Sun Quan once sent general Wei Wen to Yizhou, but it did not really implement management.
Since the Sui Dynasty, it has been called Liuqiu here.
In the third year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui sent Zhu Kuan, the Yuqiwei, to Liuqiu in the name of visiting a foreign custom. At this time, there were only natives on Liuqiu Island, no one could read, and could not speak Chinese. Because of the language barrier, he could not communicate with the local natives, so he had to catch an indigenous person and come back to work.
The following year, Emperor Yang of Sui, who was keen on expanding territory, sent Zhu Kuan to Taiwan to persuade the indigenous leaders to join the Sui Dynasty. He also found a Kunlun slave from Nanyang to be a translator. The problem of language barrier was solved, but after it showed his intention, he was rejected by the indigenous leaders. Emperor Yang of Sui, who was very fond of merit, heard that Liu Qiuren was unwilling to join him, so he sent Wu Benlang General Chen Guan and the court to ask the doctor Zhang Zhenzhou to lead more than 10,000 troops from Dongyang to attack Liu Qiu across the sea.
Liuqiu's natives were not the opponent of the powerful Sui army, but of course they were defeated. The Sui army burned down the houses of the indigenous tribes in one fire and captured thousands of people back.
It was only more than twenty years since this happened. In Yangzhou City, sailors who had experienced these things could be found. According to them, there were not many natives on the island. When the Sui army attacked Liuqiu, they killed some and plundered some. Apart from those who escaped into the mountains, there were basically not many people. Occasionally, when they stopped to replenish supplies, they could not see the presence of people, and for places without people, they were usually judged to be worthless. Moreover, the rulers of the Central Plains had never conducted detailed investigations on this place. At least Li Mu did not find any accurate records of the landforms, terrain or even area on the island from the documentary records that could be found.
Perhaps in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Qiu was just a small island.
At this moment, due to various accidents, this place has become a "blank" place. There is no regime, so there is no dispute. Li Mu wanted to occupy this place because of this consideration.
This large island with a height of 360,000 square kilometers is more than enough as a base. The rich resources on the island are enough to support his ideas and planning.
...
After looking at the map clockwise, Li Mu sorted out what he had to do after the New Year in his mind.
The situation in Japan has stabilized, and Li Mu will not leave Li Chongyi there for too long. The next time he comes back from transporting silver ore, he will withdraw Li Chongyi and send sailors who are currently training to replace him. Wujun Zhu's generals have been selected. Li Mu has already found several best candidates. They will lead 3,000 people and stay in Japan to help the eldest brother of Shanbei to maintain the situation.
At the same time, there will be military camps on Jeju Island for rotation with Japan and as a bridgehead for attacking the peninsula. The next time the fleet transporting silver ore returns, the construction cement and craftsmen will be transported to Jeju Island. Within three months, the military camps must be completed so as not to delay Li Shimin's plan.
On the other side of Liuqiu, Li Mu did not want to use the "official power". Mrs. Lu has been stripping away the resources of Jisitang. Li Mu planned to send the first batch of people to the next year to build a temporary port, and then send people to search for the minerals on the island to see if he could find limestone and coal mines that could be easily mined. After all, there is too much demand for construction in the future. If it is all based on transportation, even if it can be transported, it will definitely be discovered. Li Mu was not afraid that Li Shimin would know, but he would know sooner or later, but he didn't want Li Shimin to notice before everything was ready.
In order not to let Li Shimin pay attention to this place, when the military camp on Jeju Island is built, he will no longer stop Li Shimin from fighting Goguryeo. He will advance together by sea and land, and attack Goguryeo. However, before using troops to Goguryeo, there is one thing that needs to be resolved.
Li Mu was silent for a while, came out of the studio, and went back to the room to sleep.
...
The "sister" brought back by Li Chongyi has always lived in Guyuan, alone in the courtyard of his motherboard. Bai Qiaoqiao occasionally goes back to visit her, and every time he goes, he is accompanied by Jin Chen. This is Li Mu's instructions. Who knows whether this "sister" who is already very problematic can do martial arts? Although Jin Chen's kung fu is rarely revealed, he is a top-notch person in the world. Even Dugu Jiu may not dare to say that he will win. After all, the martial arts of the Holy Fire Order are all strange and use all means, and the outcome is indeed unknown.
Li Mu has never met her before. After all, he is a woman his brother likes, so he still has to avoid being accused of being a little bitchy.
However, today, Li Mu had a whim and remembered that his younger brother and sister came. He asked someone to send a message and invited the younger brother and sister to have lunch together. Bai Qiaoqiao, Zhang Tianai, Jin Chen, and Dugu Jiu were all there, which also prevented people from talking.
As the object of Mary used by Mary to marry, this younger sibling seemed very rational. At least Li Mu, who didn't pay much attention to rational numbers, could not find any problem. Bai Qiaoqiao met her frequently and was familiar with her. After saying hello, the two kept chatting quietly. Li Mu did not participate and kept looking at her secretly.
Zhang Tianai sat beside Li Mu. Seeing Li Mu's eyes floating onto the other girl, he knocked over the jealous jar, reached under the table, grabbed the soft flesh on Li Mu's waist, and twisted it hard.
Li Mu didn't expect Zhang Tianai to come like this, and he shuddered in pain and almost screamed. He took a breath of air conditioning, looked at Zhang Tianai, gritted his teeth and whispered: "What are you doing, it hurts!"
