If the Romans had begun to explore the Americas, what did they get from the Americas? This is something that no one can tell. If they happened to get some major assets, such as rare high-quality iron ore, or extremely high-yield grain...
So the Romans were already in a situation where they had no way out, but they got a lot of blood back!
And now that some time has passed.
The power of the Romans was already more established than in the Americas... By then, these thieves would do whatever it takes, and they might be able to expand rapidly. This would change the strategic situation of the Tang Dynasty.
The strategic situation of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be reversed overnight.
This makes Li Er not surprised or angry!
However, although he was frightened and angry, Li Er was not a fool, and he called several ministers back together for a meeting that night.
This is too serious!
Although there was a meeting yesterday that was almost like a celebration party, today we are discussing what to do if big trouble is coming, which looks very funny at first glance.
But none of Li Erjun and his ministers could care about this. The news was too shocking.
The key is that it’s really troublesome!
If the Romans really established a foothold in the Americas, the troubles in the Tang Dynasty would definitely not be explained clearly in a few words. It would probably turn into a big problem in the end, because considering extreme circumstances, the Romans would expand very rapidly in the Americas.
when……
The Romans may be able to re-grow into a great empire spanning Europe, Africa, and the United States. The confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and Rome will no longer be a turtle in a urn as calculated by everyone last night, but will once again return to a situation of beasts colliding.
Got it!
By then, how much price will Datang have to pay to defeat this opponent?
This is something no one can explain.
And this "extreme situation", just talking about these four words, may be a small probability in the ordinary world, but for ordinary opponents... To open up another road when the home country is heavily besieged, it is nothing less than
The miracle of five loaves and two fishes is basically an impossible task.
But the Romans were really not idle people. This seemingly miraculous "extreme situation" was probably really possible for these people. Considering that the Romans now also had fertilizers and gunpowder.
This process may be very quick.
At the same time, there is another fact.
According to the map given by Li Sheng, America is not one piece, but two!
One piece of South America and one piece of North America.
Among them, North America is the closest to Europe and China, so it is the most advantageous place, but South America is also a fertile land.
This posed even more problems to the Tang Dynasty, because the larger territory also meant that the Tang Dynasty's ability to restrict Rome would be even more insufficient.
Under such circumstances, how could Li Er not be furious?
However, things have happened, and now we can only continue to inquire about the situation, work hard to assemble the army and continue the game with the Romans.
Because the situation suddenly became complicated overnight, the situation in the Tang Dynasty was also tight externally and tight internally. Although there were no major military operations, neither the mobilization of troops nor the appointment and dismissal of generals, there was an extremely tense and anxious atmosphere.
It began to spread within China.
…
The army that followed the kings of Tang and Qin could basically be regarded as peasant armies. It was for this reason that after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they began to implement the land equalization system, although Tang Wang Li Yuan and Qin Wang Li Shimin did not originally promise these to the people.
.
Such an army and the imperial elites who grew up in such an army naturally had very upright views, which would also have an impact on the entire empire of the Tang Dynasty.
On the one hand, the people were happy that the empire could expand its borders again and be able to fight against powerful opponents such as Rome. This was not a scary thing for many people, but was a source of peace, because being able to fight with powerful enemies showed that the great power was great.
The Tang Dynasty was strong, and the Tang Dynasty was strong, which meant that the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties would not suddenly return.
But at the same time, as the war becomes more intense, it will obviously become more difficult and more stressful to make a living. Under the attack of these two emotions, people will naturally talk about it.
However, despite the different cognitive levels, the entire Tang Dynasty is aware of the situation. No, it is not "aware that the situation has changed".
But everyone has truly realized that the concept of "tianxia" has become different from now on - in the past, only Li Er and others had this understanding.
…
This thing has already happened and is a fait accompli.
Therefore, despite being shocked and worried, Li Er and others did not think about asking Li Sheng for advice this time.
This kind of thing is not an "incident" that happened to the face. The so-called problem is coming and needs to be solved directly, but an existing problem has become more grand and complicated.
The game between the Tang Dynasty and Rome has escalated from a military game on the European continent to a comprehensive game that affects the entire map. This game is even so comprehensive that sometimes the Tang Dynasty may have to drink and chat with the Romans, intermarry and join forces to do business together.
This incident itself is equivalent to Li Sheng giving the map to the emperor.
The map that time directly and completely changed Li Er's view of the world, and this time it was the whole world, no, it was the whole world of China that had been changed. Everyone truly and truly felt a
The long battle is about to begin.
What's the use of talking to Li Sheng to discuss something like this? The matter is so big, and Li Sheng is not a god, how could he just talk to him and settle the matter?
Anyway, Li Erwei, Du Changsun, and Sun Wuji were looking for a house. This is what these people thought.
However, although it was not urgent enough to meet Li Sheng again and ask for advice, the lack of urgency did not mean it was not severe enough. Li Er's pressure was still very high, very quickly.
All policies in both land and sea strategic directions of the Tang Dynasty began to be adjusted, whether it was commercial tax rates or military deployment.
At the same time, the investment in the weapons research institute near Chang'an has also increased several times. It is easy to know what the budget that has been doubled is used for.
But despite this, Li Er was still worried.
This is not because Li Er is suspicious - he himself does not like the two tricks of Emperor Wu of Wei and Cao Cao, but this is a big game. The so-called game, whether it is a military game or not, is nothing more than winning by coincidence and surprise.
Give opportunities, and take opportunities.
Now the Ordnance Research Institute is vigorously investing in krypton gold, and at the same time setting up a more extreme financial cycle to absorb more gold and silver. This is all done under the theme of "not giving a chance".
But how can we break the situation?
I really want Li Er to say that if he had been ten years later, he would have lost everything to this guy Li Sheng, but the key point is that he is still in his prime now, so it would be too embarrassing to be the boss. Besides, this is not a game-breaking issue.
