Chapter 504 Thunder, Rain, Dew, All Are Your Grace!
On the other side, on the way back.
Li Shimin sat in the carriage with a gloomy face, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
In the end, he still couldn't hold it back and turned to look at Changsun Wuji who was standing aside.
"Auxiliary engine, my name as Khan today is really that of those small barbarian countries who want to find someone to take advantage of?"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but look startled.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Highness, Prince Jin, has such a temper that he is easily irritable..."
"You know what I'm asking!"
Li Shimin glared directly at Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji sighed softly, and then replied with a look of fear: "Your Majesty, Tian Khan is your Majesty's name for ruling all the countries in the world. It is your Majesty's honorific title. It is definitely not something that small countries can call you whenever they want.
Your Majesty is not at fault, but in the past, our country, the Tang Dynasty, did not have the magic weapon of bombs. Conquering those small barbarian countries cost a lot of money and effort, and even if we sent troops to conquer them, it would be a loss for our country, the Tang Dynasty!
It's better to give him a little favor and make him be more honest!
Now, with bombs, five thousand people can easily destroy a country!
In this way, we, the Tang Dynasty, need to show the true power of the Tang Dynasty and conquer it with force. The effect should be better than giving it favors!"
Afterwards, Changsun Wuji thought about it and said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!"
"However, His Majesty is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Khan of all nations in the world, and a benevolent king. In dealing with these matters of the vassal state, I still need ministers to come forward!"
"Your Majesty, I also agree with the words of Duke Qi!"
On the side, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also nodded.
What King Jin said was correct, and what your Majesty did was also correct.
If you want those vassal states to truly surrender to the Tang Dynasty, you must not only show kindness, but also subdue the hozen, just like taming a horse.
However, in terms of fighting, Li Shimin, who is the Khan of Heaven, is not easy to take action, so it is up to these ministers, especially the generals, to take action!
"good!"
Li Shimin nodded slowly.
Obviously, he also agreed with what Changsun Wuji and others said.
This made Changsun Wuji and others feel a little relieved.
Suddenly, Li Shimin remembered something and said again: "After I returned, I ordered the Young Mansion Supervisor to fully support the Ordnance Supervisor. Before the autumn harvest, I must produce 100,000 bombs and 100,000 hand-thrown bombs.
One hundred thousand arrows and bombs came out!"
A determined look!
"Your Majesty is preparing for the Eastern Expedition?"
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were all shocked.
“Be prepared!”
Li Shimin shook his head slightly, "Besides, after the autumn harvest, the construction of the steel ship will definitely be completed. Xuanba will definitely be eager to go to sea. At that time, Xuanba will definitely come to me for bombs!"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin also looked helpless.
"Xuanba is really lazy. He has made so many good things. As a result, he can only make a few of each item for fun. Every time, when he needs it, he sends experts to ask for it from me.
I have to give it!”
"well……"
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were all angry and helpless.
If King Jin is not of this temper, who among us can rest assured?
Along the way, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others said nothing.
As for Li Shimin, he wanted to open his mouth, but when he saw these old guys closing their eyes and meditating, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, snorted lightly, and just closed his eyes and meditated.
Soon, the motorcade arrived outside Tai Chi Palace.
"Your Majesty! Urgent report from Lingzhou!"
Suddenly, Li Wei ran over and shouted directly to Li Shimin in the carriage.
At the same time, a messenger with a tired face followed behind him.
In the car, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others opened their eyes instantly and got out of the car after Li Wei finished speaking.
The messenger knelt down directly and raised the letter in his hand!
"See Your Majesty! The Xuexue tribe in Lingzhou rebelled, killed more than a dozen of our Lingzhou officials, hundreds of people, plundered countless properties, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and fled deep into the Helan Mountains!"
"What a thief!"
Li Shimin was instantly furious.
"Where is Li Daozong?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Governor has personally led his troops to pursue the Xuexue tribe!"
The messenger quickly reported the news.
"Call to Li Daozong that this traitor in the Xue Xue tribe has no credibility at all. He is just a white-eyed wolf who has not been raised well. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy.
As for those who surrender, their lives can be spared, but their crimes are unforgivable! All the captives captured will be sent to build cities and dig mines, and they will be my slaves to the Tang Dynasty forever and ever!"
Li Shimin looked gloomy.
"yes!"
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others quickly responded with their hands raised.
After returning to Liangyi Hall, he immediately issued an edict to Li Daozong!
At the same time, a group of courtiers were summoned to discuss matters.
"Since the Xue Xue tribe dares to rebel, the other tribes must also strengthen their vigilance and be separated. The number of slaves of the same tribe in each state and county must not exceed 500."
Li Shimin said, gritting his teeth at the same time.
Li Xuan just finished saying that we cannot give such preferential treatment to those tribes that surrendered.
As a result, before he could return to the palace, a tribe rebelled, which was a slap in his face!
"Your Majesty, I feel that these nomadic tribes are all white-eyed wolves with no credibility. We should declare that any tribe that surrenders and dares to rebel again will be my slave of the Tang Dynasty for the rest of their lives, and they will never be able to stand up again!
"
Hou Jun, Secretary of the Ministry of War, reported in the cold voice.
"Can!"
Li Shimin said directly.
Hearing this, all the courtiers below looked startled.
However, all the generals were full of excitement.
"Your Majesty, those hozens in the Xue Xue tribe should be branded with a mark so that all the hozens in the surrounding area will know that in the Tang Dynasty, there is kindness from the king and punishment from heaven!"
"Can!"
"His Majesty……"
Although I don't know why Li Shimin suddenly changed so much, Hou Junji, Li Jing and other generals were all excited, and bad ideas came out of their mouths one after another.
As for whether they can pursue the Xuexue tribe, no one doubts it.
The Xue Xue tribe only had 20,000 people, and any general in the Tang Dynasty could annihilate them.
Moreover, there are at least 50,000 troops near Lingzhou now!
Soon, the disposition of the Huxue Department was sent to Lingzhou.
At the same time, in just a few days, Li Daozong led his army and escorted a group of Xuexue slaves back to Lingzhou.
However, there are only more than 5,000 people left in the Huxue tribe at this time.
All were branded with slave marks on their foreheads.
He was taken to dig mines, build roads, and build cities!
Such ferocious behavior of the Tang Dynasty directly shocked the surrounding tribes!
At the same time, I am more honest and dare not make any small moves.
at the same time.
The frequent movements of the Shaofu Supervisor and General Supervisor, as well as the Weapons Supervisor, also made the important officials and a number of aristocratic families aware of something. Combined with the fact that Lijiazhuang has been spreading rumors about the coming of thunder!
Could it be that His Highness the King of Jin invented some other magical object?
However, they did not dare to come and ask Li Xuan, nor could they ask Li Shimin. They could only try their best to investigate through various channels!
As a result, the divine object was not detected.
However, they learned a piece of news that made all the aristocratic families extremely excited.
In Lijiazhuang, a child from aristocratic family actually entered Lijiazhuang, and he has been in Lijiazhuang for nearly two months!
What's more important is that this son is not a noble son, and there is nothing special about him!
If this is the case, do the children of their family also have hope?
"It's been so many days, and you haven't found out the details of the Rongzhou Wang family?"
In a luxurious house, people from aristocratic families all looked anxious.
