Just two months after Rome's grand plan was quietly finalized deep in the wilderness of America, thousands of miles away across the ocean, in the manor on Qiongzhou Island.
Li Xiaogong, the general of the Tang Empire, looked at Li Sheng in shock and discussed.
That's right, what shocked Li Xiaogong was nothing else.
Exactly, it has something to do with the Romans' grand plan.
After Marcus, Rome's number one model envoy, worked hard, it spread to China in just two months, and quickly reached Tianting through the intelligence agency. Li Er himself and Li Er
All his confidants learned about this - Li Xiaogong was immediately summoned to the palace to face the Holy Spirit, and was immediately sent to Qiongzhou Island at the southernmost tip of China, a distance of thousands of miles.
However, Li Xiaogong was certainly not sent out to ask Li Sheng for advice, it was just a trivial matter.
Talking about strategy, talking about games, talking about vertical and horizontal alliances, when did China ever give in?
Of course, it was impossible for the emperor to ask the demolition ministers to go directly to consult with the wise men and women. Of course, then again, this kind of scene was not unheard of. In the world Li Sheng remembered, there had been such a thing in the late Tang Dynasty.
He repeatedly asked a guy named Li Mi to come out and become the prime minister.
This kind of thing certainly does not apply to Datang at this stage.
This is because all the top figures of the founding generation of the early Tang Dynasty were still alive, so of course they wouldn't be like that.
but.
Suddenly learning that the empire was engaging in a shady operation, Li Er became cautious and immediately sent many envoys to the sea - what the Romans could do, the Tang Dynasty could also do.
, to put it bluntly, just hedge the other party’s operations.
In strategic games, it is the simplest and most direct way to deal with the enemy. As long as your overall strength is stronger than the opponent, you don't actually need to study so many things.
However, even though he said that, Li Er was not worried because it was a trivial matter after all.
This group of Han descendants went out to be pirates. Why did I think of ways to support them instead of destroying them? The main reason is that, first of all, there are indeed many of these guys, and they should be happy to just do it and plunder villages everywhere.
, after several overseas villages were robbed, China's image plummeted - there is a probability of such a thing, but Li Er doesn't think it is high.
Because in the final analysis, in the long run, survival cannot be without cruelty, but wealth cannot rely on cruelty. The saying that harmony makes money is not made up out of thin air by the great businessmen of China. It is all real experience in the world.
Therefore, Li Er is not worried that these young people's business games will affect the reputation of China.
However, since the negative effects have been taken into consideration, there is nothing to say about the positive part.
To put it bluntly, I have no plans or thoughts about how these young people can cooperate with Datang's actions in the future and play a role as Datang's "hidden ultimate move" at critical moments.
Rather, I really just hope that these little guys can survive and thrive overseas.
As for why he is so selfless, of course, first of all, it is because Li Er is already the emperor. As a person who was not an emperor in the past, he has become an emperor. This is already very good. Being selfless is not a particularly strange thing. Secondly, these young people
Pirates can mix together and develop into a separatist force, which has a direct benefit to the Tang Dynasty. Under any circumstances, it is a good direct benefit.
That is, if one day the Tang Dynasty continues to prosper, it would be great, but if the Tang Dynasty overturns and is doomed, then by that time, China will at least have many overseas sub-bases.
The children of Yan and Huang still have room to operate. This function is similar to that in Yizhou. Although the presence is not high at ordinary times, when the world is really overturned, it is an excellent system formatted USB disk, which is very easy to use.
Of course, the more such USB flash drives, the better, so that you can live your life with peace of mind.
To put it more bluntly, even if one day I can't stand it anymore and no longer want to be a good person, and I just become a faint king and torment the Tang Dynasty to death, future generations will not be able to criticize me. After all, I can be regarded as a resurrection of China.
And revival left a back door.
This is the real intention of Datang in doing this, or the real long-term effect of "Idle Chess Wild Son".
As for recruiting these young people to cooperate with him in building Rome, Li Er basically didn't think in this direction at all.
As for why he didn't think about it, it was of course because although Li Er was always rumored to have Xianbei blood, Li Er's own inner world had always belonged to China.
This is not to say that Li Er simply recognized the land of China as his motherland. This kind of superficial recognition is also shared by a large number of Hu people, especially in this era who are making money in factories across China, improving their lives, and enjoying the warm weather.
This is especially true for the Xianbei people who are very happy.
Li Er's entire ideological circuit belongs entirely to China - the ideological heritage from Taoism, the ideological heritage from the political strategists, the ideological heritage from the Yin-Yang family, and the ideological heritage from the military strategists.
It can be said that the most basic coordinate system for Li Er's understanding of the entire world he lives in is China and the records of all events that occurred in China. He is completely native.
And because he was born and raised like this, Li Er's collective consciousness is not generally strong.
In fact, collective consciousness is not something that specifically suppresses personal characteristics as later generations would say. It comes from a simple understanding: a single person cannot complete large-scale projects, such as conquering the world or exploiting nature.
, there must be a whole team.
In fact, even in post-modern society, collectivism still exists in a secret way. The simplest thing is that when people see an Internet celebrity suddenly appearing, they will not think that the popularity is only due to their personal charm, but must be
There is a team behind it.
Li Er is such a true son and daughter of China, and in Li Er's understanding, to dominate the world, you must have excellent military power. You can not use it, but you must not live without it.
And this kind of military power can never be distributed, but must be a single force with highly unified actions, just like in the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty with extraordinary intelligence seemed to be very happy, such as Ban Chao
Such existence, but I also know that the reason why guys like Ban Chao and Su Wu can hold the heads of countless barbarian leaders and listen to them is because there is a Han army with outstanding combat power behind them.
There is nothing wrong with saying, "Just wait for me."
