In the blink of an eye, the Tang army destroyed more than a dozen cities.
Now Gao Jianwu can even feel that after repeatedly receiving this kind of news, there is even an inexplicable... sense of security in his heart.
A feeling that everything is going well!
If it weren't for the civilian soldiers in the royal city who kept whispering to each other with frightened faces, I would have even felt that it was nothing serious.
But...these expressions clearly reminded me that this sense of security was undoubtedly a dangerous feeling.
This is like a frog that will freeze in place and remain motionless when approached by a snake.
It's not that snakes have any ability to immobilize frogs, but it's almost like being stunned.
And now I am facing this situation. The army of the Tang Dynasty comes in front of me. It is no different from a poisonous snake looking for a frog. Look at this record...
Gao Jianwu was extremely anxious. Why didn't Yuan Gaisu Wen come back?
But just when Gao Jianwu was furious and ready to get angry again, suddenly a small soldier ran in quickly from outside the main hall. He came to Gao Jianwu in a moment and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Da Dui Lu is back!"
"Back? Go and call him over!"
Gao Jianwu roared, and the soldier became a little nervous. He opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, Da Dui Lu... Da Dui Lu is coming!"
Gao Jianwu's chest suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
thump!
With a sound, he collapsed and sat down on the big tiger leather chair.
Although the result has not come yet, just because the result is "coming", Gao Jianwu feels relaxed all over, and there is nothing he can do...
This period of time was extremely tense, and the Tang army was advancing too fast!
Ridiculously fast!
After a while, another relatively dense set of footsteps sounded outside the hall.
Then Yeon Gae Suwen walked in with a solemn expression. Without saying a word, he gave a quick greeting and said directly, "Your Majesty..."
Before Yuan Gaisuwen could speak, Gao Jianwu took a deep breath nervously, "How? How many tribes are coming to join forces with us to fight against the Tang Dynasty?"
That's right.
During this period, Gao Jianwu was extremely anxious, and at the same time... Yeon Gae Suwen was also very busy. Although Gao Jianwu had sent messages everywhere before, but as time went on, because the Tang army was breaking through the cities one after another too fast, so
Anxious, Gao Jianwu decisively found Yeon Gaesumun and ordered him to contact the surrounding tribal alliances again.
Yeon Gae Suwen was originally busy managing the army at hand, and wanted to give the army as much as possible... The first was to stabilize the morale of the people, and the second was to adjust the state as much as possible and mobilize all available resources to prepare for battle.
But it was also because the news of the Tang army's attack on the city came too quickly and violently, so Yuan Gaisuwen felt extremely unsure.
Now Gao Jianwu once again mentioned the matter of finding someone to form an alliance with, and Yeon Gae Suwen naturally acted quickly.
But after searching all around...
Although there are factors of being too hasty and rushed, but...
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that it is difficult to trust the two sides of the tribe. I am looking for you in all directions, but I am afraid that only Shiweiken can join the army of Goguryeo and fight."
Yeon Gae So-moon finished this sentence in an emotionless tone.
Gao Jianwu couldn't help but let out a very long sigh...
"well……"
I've been searching for so long, but I still can't find anyone.
Do these people really know nothing about the Han people's allusions? Even if this is an allusion to the Han people, the leader of this group of tribes has led the tribe to survive for so long. If they don't know the allusions to the Han people, they should at least know this truth!
But then Yuan Gaisuwen seemed to see Gao Jianwu's thoughts, and said slowly, "Now the Tang army has not only done nothing wrong with Qiu, but also promised benefits and land..."
"Allow their fields???"
Gao Jianwu was immediately confused, "Tang State values land the most, and it comes here specifically to fight. How can it give land to these barbarians?"
When he asked this question, his tone was full of disbelief.
However, when Yuengai Suwen heard this, he shook his head and said, "What the Tang State gave them was not ordinary land. Instead, they were told that as long as they submitted to the Tang State and worked for the Tang State for ten years, they would be rewarded with a piece of cultivated land in the southeastern area."
"Dongnanya...workers...what are these?"
Gao Jianwu looked confused, as if he had never heard of anything like this.
Yeon Gaesumun said, "The so-called labor force means that today's Tang Dynasty is building factories all over the country to produce all kinds of things. At the same time, it is exploring the South China Sea and using strong ships and cannons to conquer overseas territories. Now the Tang Dynasty has the strongest military force in the world, but its population is still the highest in the world.
They can't fill up the land, and they need someone to farm the newly opened land for them."
When Yeon Gaesumun said this, Gao Jianwu was stunned for a moment, and then he gradually understood.
The Central Plains of China has been prosperous since ancient times. This has always been the consensus of the people in Goguryeo - everyone from the king to the women and children knows it. However, since the Sui Dynasty, there have been wars, so the number of households and food output have been greatly reduced.
Up to now, although the Tang Dynasty has successfully reorganized the country with great military virtues, but to restore food output and population size...at least the population size must be matched with the amount of cultivated land, then...although the large-scale factory building is definitely something that even Gao Jianwu can see
It is a good thing, but it is conceivable that Li Er cannot allow too many people to enter factories and sea trade at once——
Or rather... Li Er brought down the world. On the one hand, he would use force to solve the problem. Those with strong soldiers and horses would do it. On the other hand, he would certainly use soft means to solve the problem, such as asking heroes from all over the world to stop thinking about fighting and building factories.
This is also a way to make money.
Although factories are separated from the land, which in the past - or in the eyes of various other countries and tribes - was definitely a source of self-destruction, factories are different from other things. If the land is no longer cultivated, everyone will engage in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
, then the country must be a pill, because the chess, calligraphy, and painting cannot be eaten or used for fighting. Although the chess, calligraphy, and painting are valuable, most people who engage in the chess, calligraphy, and painting do not understand their value.
The factory is different. Although the things produced by this thing cannot be eaten, the things used for fighting and grabbing food are not ordinary energy. It is simply very powerful! And the most terrifying thing is...
Goguryeo cannot produce chemical fertilizers. The prosperity in the past two years was due to chemical fertilizers sent by the Romans. Goguryeo used chemical fertilizers on the pastures where the grass growth was the worst at that time, and the effect was ridiculously good and immediate.
The Tang Dynasty did not need the support of Rome.
The Tang State itself had more than one or two factories producing fertilizers...
In other words, this thing called a factory is simply terrifying - but Li Er is limited to the situation at hand and cannot allow too many people to enter it, so...
So when Yeon Gaesumun said this, Gao Jianwu felt like scolding him when he thought about it.
