The Tang Dynasty defeated the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje in succession, with great martial arts and military power that dominated the world.
The leader of the Japanese kingdom in Japan was so frightened that he changed his title as emperor and no longer even dared to use the title of emperor.
If this happened in later generations, it would definitely be big news that shocked the world's media.
Not to mention the sand sculpture netizens, this joke can be played directly into the 22nd century.
However, in this era, information technology is not very developed after all.
What happened in the Japanese country did not spread and became the talk of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, no matter whether the Japanese country surrendered and feared the Tang Dynasty or who was your eldest, whether the country was called Tianwang Laozi or Dad, I am your biological son, it was of no use to the vast majority of people in the Tang Dynasty. Anyway...
Anyway, for Li Sheng, this is a completely indifferent question.
Whether the Japanese country is expanding or calling itself a father, he still wants to design his own luxury cruise ship. As for the Tang Dynasty, will this precious court use the technology of the cruise ship to create other things? Then Li Sheng doesn’t think that this matter belongs to him.
Take care.
But in the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Sheng was playing with internal combustion engine yachts in Hangzhou, working on a new generation of yachts... No, it should be called cruise ship design work, while enjoying the spring scenery by the sea.
Although the spring breeze was blowing in Chang'an City, Li Er was frowning.
Looking at the memorial on the desk, he even showed anger sometimes.
"Asshole!"
Hearing an angry shout from Li Er, Li Er suddenly picked up the memorial that had fallen on the imperial desk, and then slammed it on the table again.
With this fall, the trio of Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling below couldn't help but lower their heads lower.
This scene is exactly the same as the famous film and television scene "The Three of Us" in later generations...
However, the "we three" situation in later generations occurred because the "we three" themselves got sick and had to force a group of people who could not be forced to a dead end. As a result, a monster emerged from the opponent's body to counterattack, and the situation overturned.
.
So this time...
Li Er just wanted to scold his mother.
Spring has just begun this year, and I haven’t done anything yet...
"I just want to go to Hangzhou to play on my royal son's yacht. Is this too much? Bastard! Bastard!"
Li Er angrily headed to the table, "My luggage has been packed, but you can't understand why Tuyuhun even has grenades!"
"What use do I have for you? What use do you have!"
His Majesty was so angry that Wei Zheng and the other three couldn't help but blush.
Originally, the three of them were Li Er's confidants, and it was common for them to argue with Li Er, but this time they had no confidence to argue.
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, and sure enough...
Everyone was confused. Before this day, they had no idea what Li Er was talking about...that is, Tuyuhun's army also had a problem with grenades.
That's right, even Tuyuhun now has battlefield weapons such as grenades!
And why does this happen? Wei Zheng and others don't know. So...this is the reason why Li Er is unhappy.
Of course, this is only a superficial, first-order reason.
There is another deep-seated reason. Tuyuhun and Datang are too close. In other words...
Compared to the entire Western World, it is a peripheral area.
So here comes the question, all the peripheral countries in the Western World have grenades... So where have the forces in the heartland gone?
The first time Li Er saw this memorial, he could only lament that it was fortunate that the Turks had been destroyed. Otherwise, who knows how far this group of thieves could have developed with the secret help of the Romans?
Li Er didn't even doubt that these people might have built steel mills or gunpowder factories. Who knows what the situation is... If the Romans aided Goguryeo, it was mainly because Goguryeo itself had good conditions, black soil and chemical fertilizers.
The first close contact brought about an obvious increase in the prosperity of the pasture, but overall what was passed on to Goguryeo was not that much.
So outside of Tuyuhun... Tubo, Gaochang, Qiuci, and the more dangerous Western Turks... and Kushan to the south of the Western Turks, today's Persia.
Aren't these guys making progress every day?
If the plan to go to Hangzhou for a spring outing to find his son was ruined and caused Li Er to break the defense, then the other countries in the Western Regions around Tuyuhun were the reason why Li Er broke the defense.
The Tang Dynasty is too difficult for me...
Li Er could only say this.
Li Er raised his eyes and looked at the three of them, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling. Li Er's eyes were vague and he felt heavy pressure in his heart.
That's right, the Turks have been conquered, and Goguryeo has also been conquered now. Ordinarily...
Now that the two biggest border troubles have been eliminated, the Tang Dynasty will be able to live in peace for a few days, right? But unfortunately, if one border trouble is solved, it means that the frontier fortress has become inland, while other places have become inland.
The border fortress.
Moreover, because it is a new frontier, the opponents it faces are also new neighboring countries, and the empire's opponents have also become new opponents.
The level of understanding of the opponent has become lower, and because the border fortress has become further away, the difficulty of supply, communication... has also increased.
And now it is not just the expansion of frontiers that brings unknown problems, but also some of the advantages that we have finally established have been quietly stolen and taken away by our opponents.
As a result, the capabilities of many of the forces that Datang prepared in advance to deal with world changes were relatively reduced...
When this happened, Li Er felt like what was written in the books published by Li Sheng in Zizhenzhai. He finally cultivated to the level of Dou Wang, but ended up in a new place where Dou Zong was everywhere, Dou Huang.
Not as good as a dog...
Of course Datang's current situation is not so embarrassing, but there are certain difficulties, that's for sure!
However, Li Er can also understand that although Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other unscrupulous people are not bad in ability, after all, they cannot compare with Li Sheng and other unparalleled talents...
They can solve each of these problems individually, but there is still a long way to go to complete them all in one shot...
But at this time, Li Er suddenly thought of an idea.
Wait, I seem to have heard of it somewhere... In fact, the outflow of technology is inevitable, and it may not be a good thing for foreign countries... As long as Datang's technology continues to advance and talents are steadily produced, then...
Even if technology flows out, the speed at which foreign countries acquire technology will certainly not be able to keep up with the speed at which Datang produces new technologies!
Moreover, acquiring new technologies and setting up factories... will have an impact on the population structure, causing it to change, and may even cause instability. Unless there is a reliable etiquette to control all this, problems will arise.
Then this also means that the current Datang should...
"By the way, my emperor, Li Xiaogong, Changsun Wuji and others are fighting in Mobei during this period. How is the academy you are running... how is it going?"
