Chapter 96 Destroy Goguryeo
Seeing the civil servants and generals under his command arguing endlessly, Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned.
Although he also wanted to completely destroy Goguryeo, he was also afraid that the Goguryeo people would continue to resist, which would plunge the Tang Dynasty into a quagmire and consume the national power that had finally been accumulated.
And Changsun Wuji's method is undoubtedly a relatively safe method, which can not only make Goguryeo surrender, but also avoid the border troubles in the northeastern part of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin listened to the arguments of these ministers. These civil servants were all talking loudly, and the generals were quarreling with each other. How could they be the opponents of the civil servants?
In just a short time, the civil servants were so sharp-tongued that they all turned red in the face and wanted to start a fight.
Li Shimin also gradually made up his mind, and put safety first and left Goguryeo. At least for more than ten years, there would be no major wars between the northeastern part of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin coughed and glanced at the ministers below. When these ministers saw Li Shimin's posture, they knew that he had made a decision, so they all stopped arguing, stood up, and lowered their heads.
Li Shimin said loudly: "I have an idea, so let's keep Gao"
"Report"
Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, a voice came from outside the palace, and it was a eunuch who ran out of the door.
"Report Goguryeo urgent report!" the eunuch shouted.
"Oh? Is this news about the King of Yue? How is the King of Yue now?" Li Shimin asked.
Eunuch Gao quickly took the letter and read it immediately. However, when he was halfway through it, Eunuch Gao's hands trembled a little.
Li Shimin and the Manchu civil and military officials looked at Eunuch Gao.
"ah!"
Eunuch Gao screamed, startling everyone, wondering why Eunuch Gao was so startled?
What happened?
"Plop!" Eunuch Gao knelt down directly on the ground and said with sobs in his mouth: "Your Majesty, the King of Yue made a surprise attack on the Goguryeo army on a rainy night, completely annihilated the 50,000 Goguryeo army, and captured Goguryeo King Gaozang alive. More than a hundred names, Goguryeo - the country is destroyed!"
"What?"
Li Shimin stood up suddenly.
Li Shimin has been in the army for half his life, what scene has he not seen?
However, Li Zhen's destruction of Goguryeo really shocked him so much that he suddenly lost his composure and stood up.
The excitement in my heart could not be greater!
Since the founding of Goguryeo, after hundreds of years, the Central Plains dynasty has launched countless expeditions, but in the end they all fell short, and the Great Sui Dynasty was destroyed as a result.
Goguryeo has continued to grow on the bones of the Chinese people and has become a great eastern country with 600,000 troops, second only to the Tang Dynasty. It has brought serious border troubles to the Tang Dynasty.
And now, this regime that has dominated the Northeast region and the Korean Peninsula for hundreds of years has actually been destroyed by Li Zhen!
Thinking about what Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty could not do with his millions of troops back then, Li Zhen actually did it on her own!
Except for the founding of the Tang Dynasty and Li Jing's contribution to pacifying the Eastern Turks, there is no other achievement that can compare with it.
Li Shimin couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile.
¡°I still underestimated my son Li Zhen. Now it seems that Li Zhen¡¯s ability may not be as good as my own when I was young. What regrets do I have when I have a son like this?¡±
Li Shimin was really happy. He was originally worried that Goguryeo would be difficult to fight and that Tang Dynasty would be dragged into the quagmire of war. Now all worries have disappeared.
Li Zhen has already destroyed the country of Goguryeo, and even arrested the king of Goguryeo, Da Molizhi, and all the civil and military officials. What else is there to worry about?
¡° Moreover, this also means that from this moment on, Goguryeo can be incorporated into the territory of Datang.
Of course, Datang could also choose to support puppets in Goguryeo, but wouldn't this leave hidden dangers for itself?
How could a generation of British masters like Li Shimin miss such a great opportunity to expand territory?
After hearing the news that Li Zhen had destroyed Goguryeo, not only Li Shimin was extremely happy, but most of His Highness's civil and military officials were ecstatic.
What could be more exciting than that once the century-old border troubles are lifted?
All the military generals were overjoyed. They had been quarreling with the civil servants just now and were very angry. But now, Li Zhen used her strength to slap the civil servants in the face, and the military generals felt proud.
And most of these civil servants were also very happy. Although they were slapped in the face, the destruction of Goguryeo was a great blow to the country.For Tang Li, it was indeed a great thing.
Only a few civil servants such as Changsun Wuji felt unhappy, but they did not dare to show it on their faces. They could only follow the other ministers to congratulate Li Shimin.
Li Shimin laughed loudly and said immediately: "Immediately ask Zhen'er to bring Gao Zang, Quan Gaisuwen, and Goguryeo's civil and military officials to Jixian. I will take them back to Chang'an and avoid future troubles forever!"
Li Shimin was really happy, not only because he had a good son like Li Zhen, but also because being able to destroy Goguryeo would definitely greatly increase the prestige and strength of the Tang Dynasty.
Destroying a big country like Goguryeo would be enough to severely frighten the foreign races around the Tang Dynasty, so that they would never dare to make any changes again.
?????????????????????? Goguryeo was a million miles in radius, and such a vast land was suddenly merged into the Datang Empire, and the territory of the Datang Empire greatly expanded.
Most importantly, Goguryeo had a population of millions.
The peak of China's population was in the Han Dynasty. When the two Han Dynasties were prosperous, they had a population of more than 50 million.
Later, after the war, the population dropped sharply. During the Three Kingdoms period, the total population of the country was only more than 7 million.
It was not until the fifth year of Emperor Yang¡¯s reign in the Sui Dynasty that the population recovered. At that time, the Sui Dynasty had more than 8.9 million households and a population of more than 46 million. It is close to the number during the peak period of the Han Dynasty.
The current Tang Dynasty, after experiencing the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, saw a significant decrease in population. In the 16th year of Zhenguan, there were approximately 3 million households and 16 million people in the country, only one-third of the peak during the Sui Dynasty.
However, the country of Goguryeo had 690,000 households and a population of 3.4 million. In other words, if Goguryeo was destroyed, it would have a population of more than 3 million. This number accounted for one-quarter to one-fifth of the total population of the Tang Dynasty. between.
With such a large population, the Tang Dynasty will definitely increase in strength both economically and militarily. The total population of the Tang Dynasty can even directly exceed 20 million people. This is definitely an astonishing number.
How could Li Shimin not burst into laughter?
It¡¯s so exciting!
Li Shimin is now eager to see Li Zhen. He wants to take a good look at what this son who has created countless military miracles, this new generation of military genius in the Tang Dynasty, looks like now!
At that moment, Li Shimin immediately ordered Li Zhen to leave some troops to guard Goguryeo and lead the main force to escort Gao Zang and others back to Jixian.
Just when the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty were celebrating each other, Li Zhen was riding back to Youzhou on horseback, feeling proud beyond words (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
