Although Li Er didn't know what Xu Da and Ming Chengzu were, he still understood the principle of the matter. As for his subordinates, in terms of power and strategy, they were undoubtedly Li Jing, Li Ji, and Li Xiaogong, just to name a few.
This guy is the most transparent.
Of course, both Li Jing and Li Ji are currently busy competing with the Romans. Li Jing is stationed in Eastern Europe north of Mobei, while Li Ji is running around in the South China Sea. Therefore, this Li Xiaogong can serve as Li Sheng's "Prince Young Master".
"Master", let's take a look at the situation of the maritime merchants and the group of young pirates.
Of course, Wei Zhengfang, Du, and other old scumbags are also fine. They work together vertically and horizontally, and are reasonably invisible. These old guys are also good at these things. However, the climate of the Tang Dynasty has changed now.
Li Er has also recently felt more and more clearly that if China wants to dominate the world, it must, of course, first have a strong army. Without military power, everything is in vain.
However, the current military power has changed from that in the past. If we say that in the past, military power meant soldiers, soldiers, horses, armor, and crossbows.
These are everything, among which soldiers and horses are particularly critical. This is the core that determines the "existence" of an army. It can be regarded as blood volume or mana volume. However, the current era is different from the past. Military
Strength is no longer just the part that makes up a military formation.
Behind the Yanhuang army are more factories and farmland composed of Yanhuang people. In the past, military strategists have long realized that food is a prerequisite for military operations. In most cases, it is the first or even the only
prerequisites.
Weapons can be replaced with hoes and bamboo poles, but if the soldiers cannot eat, there is no need to fight, and the game ends directly. Now, this trend has developed further. Not only must the food be met with great rigor, but also countless
Factories are also a basic source of military power.
These days, there is no gunpowder or explosives. Even if you were Han Bai again, you would never be able to organize any serious military operations.
Military power and military struggles penetrated deeply into every corner of the Tang Dynasty. For some people, their daily life seemed to be just making a living and had nothing to do with fighting and killing. However, the actual situation
However, a large number of people's work is completed in factories, and the factories themselves and the people's work are reserve forces that can be transformed into military capabilities at any time!
Even without mentioning the transformation of production capacity, the industry itself is directly tied to Datang's exports, and Datang's export trade income is also included.
Therefore, although even Wei Zheng, Fang Du, and Changsun Wuji are reluctant to admit it, what they have to admit is that in today's world, it seems that literati are beginning to become as good as warriors.
I was exhausted. Originally, these old guys, especially Changsun Wuji among them, a few years ago were still thinking that after the Zhenguan New Year passed a few years ago, the political situation would gradually stabilize and there would be no more struggles.
It should become a lot more leisurely,
At this time, there is a precious nephew like Li Sheng, how should I deal with him? After all, he has such a high and powerful position, and of course, if he can deal with it smoothly, can he take this baby?
I wish I could do something to protect the future wealth of my grandson.
As a result, even before this year, Changsun Wuji quickly realized that times had changed. As the main "family pride" of Changsun's lineage besides the queen, if he really wanted to keep the family's wealth, he basically had to rely on
Engaging in industry is actually, in a sense, a farewell to the high-ranking and powerful series.
Wealth can only be achieved by working hard every day, which is already discounted in a sense. And if you take into account that this kind of "suffering" daily life will directly serve the military at certain times, it means that not only will you have to work hard.
, I’m afraid I have to be on tenterhooks - this is purely a matter of taking carrots for granted, because it means that wealth itself has lost its meaning, and the future world will simply not be able to tolerate a real circle of civil servants.
This is probably the real reason why the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes disappeared in China, and it is not just because of the power struggle. Of course, this kind of understanding seems too advanced. Although Changsun Wuji himself has gained a lot
, but it has not been written into a book and promoted everywhere.
However, when the imperial envoy Li Xiaogong arrived at Qiongzhou Island, he actually discussed these matters with Li Sheng. As soon as they met, they talked about the recent distribution of military power in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, it was not that Li Xiaogong ignored the emperor's edict and did not take the emperor's orders seriously. It was because of the worldview of Li Xiaogong, a top military elite.
The so-called "power strategy" is actually something that does not exist.
The simplest thing is that I occasionally heard people say it in the palace. Some folk heroes chatted about big things and said that the king of Hejian County was very strategist and could avoid disasters. This was really a joke. Every time Li Xiaogong heard it, he would
Just laugh it off.
Although I heard this statement occasionally, it carried quite a weight, but Li Xiaogong never took it seriously. As for why he didn't take it seriously, it was precisely because of the above reasons that Li Xiaogong simply believed that "power conspiracy" did not exist.
A thing of imagination.
The reason is very simple. Since ancient times, the founding generals of the country have decisively devoted themselves to the cause of opening up frontiers if they really want to protect themselves. This kind of thing is originally natural and obvious to Li Xiaogong.
After a country re-establishes peace, there is no need for so many military elites - all the heroes have been wiped out, what do you want to do if you are still so proficient in military matters?
After all, excellent military elites are inherently in conflict with the peaceful world.
Of course, everyone knows that if you forget to fight, you will be in danger, and there is no need to deny it. But overall, statistically speaking, the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty are over, and the empire does not need so many people who can fight.
.
In this situation, if you were the emperor, you would be nervous.
When there is a battle to fight, everything is easy. As long as everyone charges bravely and wins the battle, they can be promoted to officials. But when there is no battle to fight, any normal brain circuit will think about whether it is possible. If there is no battle to fight, just create something.
Coming out?
The first person in history to openly announce this idea was Yingbu in the early Han Dynasty, without any concealment. However, as a descendant, Li Xiaogong would naturally learn from his lesson.
