Even military geniuses like Li Er can only use other means to occupy territory as much as possible - of course.
The best way, of course, is to wait and be patient. When the hard work of the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty has accumulated to a certain extent and a qualitative change occurs, the problems that I am worried about today will not be a problem, even if Li Yuan... No, even if Li Yuan
It’s useless even if Sheng says there is a problem!
The qualitative change in the nature of this node is the improvement of sea-crossing capabilities of sea-going ships to the extent that they can sail freely across the seas at a lower cost.
Although Li Sheng never mentioned this matter.
But as an outstanding monarch with a star level in Chinese history, Li Er really realized it himself - otherwise, Li Er would not have attached great importance to Li Sheng's talent from the beginning. However, in the final analysis, this kind of thing can only happen by chance.
Unable to ask for.
When Changsun Wuji said this, Li Er also nodded and sighed softly, "I have been thinking about this matter recently. However, the sea is very windy and rough, and man-made ships will not be able to compete with the power of God. Maritime merchants are very wealthy.
, as long as the imperial court stabilizes the sea, it will be easier for them to cross the sea, but how these young people can survive overseas is really difficult to figure out. The imperial court cannot understand..."
If the imperial court could clearly support these young people who went out to be pirates, it would be easier for the Tang Dynasty to deal with it. Although these young and unscrupulous young people are scattered all over the sky, so are the maritime merchants!
It can even be said that as long as it is profitable, these guys are almost everywhere - the number of factories in Datang has reached an exaggerated level. If Li Sheng himself had not said that "the superiority of factories lies in efficiency", Li Er would even
Everyone has to worry about whether a new thing spreading like this will shake the country's foundation, or something like that.
However, the imperial court did not have ships that allowed the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and civilians to roam freely on the sea, and it also could not use the power of merchants.
You can even think of such a thing. If the matter involves a merchant, do you still want to keep it a secret?
Although this cannot be said to be a wishful thinking - for example, when building submarines before, Datang undoubtedly used the power of merchants.
This can be regarded as the first government-private partnership in the Tang Dynasty, or in the entire China, or even in the entire world.
But building submarines does not mean using submarines to fight. Although Li Er himself had a premonition, from now on, the way China conducts military operations in the future will most likely no longer be limited to military operations themselves.
Military construction will most likely become a part of the war - who can build a more powerful war machine? This may directly determine the outcome of the war before it begins.
But in any case, building a submarine is not a real military operation and does not require extreme mobilization. The fact that it does not require extreme mobilization means that although merchants are used in this matter, the number is limited.
The height is limited and there are not many people. In this case, it is certainly not difficult to keep secrets. However, since Datang wants to mobilize merchants this time, it is to use the "pervasiveness" of these merchants to do things and go deep into Datang. It is currently unable to use the imperial army.
The power of the Tang Dynasty can be reached on a large scale, and it is even possible that hundreds of years later, the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty may not be able to defeat all enemies in the world at the same time.
In this case, according to the idea of using merchants to help these young people who write pirates and read as Han envoys to survive and expand, it is inevitable to create something like an imperial list.
How can this be kept secret? Of course, the best case scenario is that these maritime merchants and these young people who go on overseas expeditions directly become a community of interests, an organic organization, that would be even better.
Such an organization really did appear in ancient China, this organization.
It's the Mohist family.
These guys did not actually control the countryside. In other words, they were inconsistent with the general political trend of the time. The Mohist family was composed of craftsmen and swordsmen, but these heroes in the imagination of young people in later generations were not actually heroes.
These guys were the "elite" group at that time, and they were similar to the experts in later generations who liked to ride on the faces of young people and shit on them - but this group had just been born at the time, so they acted more passionately, and in the end
It is just a second creation that attracts later generations of literary and artistic workers.
The Mohist multinational group was very powerful at that time. One of the Mohist tycoons had a son who violated the law by killing people in the Qin State. According to common sense, if you kill someone, you must pay for your life. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone in the world want to kill people? Besides, this
As he was still a child in the Mohist family, the incident spread wider and had a greater impact.
Such power.
It would be impossible for Li Er to endure it if he appeared inside China - for the Tang Dynasty, this was basically the Five Surnames and Qiwang, Wang Jing and Pei Ji's gang. Of course, Wang Jing and Pei Ji's gang were better in every aspect.
The Mohist family is still far behind, because although the Mohist family is a reactionary faction, it is a super entity like the Umbrella Company that possesses research and development capabilities, military capabilities, and has cultivated countless real assassins.
Real assassins are definitely not comparable to the domestic servants of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang group. The assassins of the Mo family are all powerful swordsmen like Jing Ke.
This kind of existence is naturally extremely dangerous. If it really appeared, it would be a hundred times more dangerous than the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes - if such an existence really existed, Li Er would not choose to use various economic means to suppress and weaken it.
He immediately led his troops and wiped them all out.
Of course, the Guanlong military aristocratic group that Li Er belongs to is such a group in itself. The only difference is that the Mohists have a clear idea and plan to be a multinational organization for the rest of their lives and make unlimited profits with the help of the troubled times that will never end, while Li Er's side is
Those who really come out to be kings and fathers in the world and rule their families and the world. Of course, these are not relevant at the moment, because the problem now is whether it is the young people who go to sea, whether they are sea merchants or the young people who go to become pirates.
, the strength of these people.
They are not enough to become a existence similar to the Mohist family, which is rampant all over the world.
In fact, it seems that these guys haven't even thought about cooperation yet.
Li Er frowned and looked at Changsun Wuji very solemnly, "As the auxiliary officer said, among those who are leaving China now to go overseas, the sea merchants are relatively easy to say, with the power of the imperial army suppressing the seas.
Heroes on the sea dare not make mistakes, and they can cope with the storms on the sea. But how can the court help these young people who go out to become pirates?"
