Goryeo is finished, and Japan is almost finished. In the past, we could still rely on providing gold and silver to the Tang Dynasty to take a breather. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the demand for gold and silver is not high. This is because the exquisite steel currency has become the transaction currency of the Tang Dynasty. Apart from its small industrial use, the most important function of gold and silver can only be used as jewelry on women's heads.
Advances in science and technology, powerful stamping machines, and strict plating processes ensure the safety of Datang currency. No one can make such exquisite coins. Those minted coins can be seen as genuine at a glance. No matter how good your skills are, you will end up attracting vicious policemen.
Some people imitated the Tang Dynasty Hengdao to make Japanese knives, and changed the straight horizontal knives into slightly curved Japanese knives. Originally, the Emperor of Japan wanted to use this thing to open up the weapon market of the Tang Dynasty. After all, the warriors of the Tang Dynasty still liked sharp swords.
But when we arrived in Datang, we realized that Datang¡¯s steel-making technology had developed by leaps and bounds. When the Japanese swords from the Japanese country arrived in the Tang Dynasty, they were no different from iron-breaking swords. It's so expensive for just this. Only a ghost would pay for it.
Some unconvinced Japanese took the Japanese sword to compete with the horizontal sword. As a result, the Tang Dynasty's horizontal sword easily cut the Japanese sword in half. He himself is unharmed! Seeing the Tang Dynasty's horizontal sword, Prince Jia Ziqing's heart dropped.
Compared with the prosperity of the Tang Empire, the prosperity of the Japanese Empire was declining. In the past, gold and silver could be exchanged for some goods, but now gold and silver can be exchanged for very little. The only thing that can be exported seems to be women.
Women from the Japanese country had little market in the Tang Dynasty. Due to nutritional reasons, Japanese women were generally short in stature. Compared with Japanese women, people in the Tang Dynasty preferred tall and plump blond women. Although there was some body odor on him, Tang Ren still liked it.
Most of the fierce Liaodong Navy was taken away, which made the Japanese people breathe a sigh of relief. But the Japanese people were obviously relieved because they were shocked to find out. Datang has occupied the sea, and the only trading partner of the Japanese country has become Datang.
The merchants of the Tang Dynasty were very united. No matter who the Japanese people traded with, the prices were kept very low. They don't have ships like the Tang Dynasty, so they can't trade with the Persians or those red-bearded guys. In the Tang Dynasty, transactions between them were strictly prohibited. As long as they are discovered once, they will never be able to do business in Datang in their lifetime.
Even if the Japanese wanted to go to the distant seas to trade with the cannibals, they would not be able to cross the South China Sea, which was controlled by the Tang Dynasty.
Strait Castle is like a key, locking the South China Sea tightly. The east and west seas were divided into two halves, and the Strait Castle was now firmly in the hands of the Tang people. Around the Strait Castle, there were all natives who surrendered unconditionally to the Tang people. As long as the Tang people call, they will defend the rule of the Tang people with their lives.
In fact, the pirates didn¡¯t even have the courage to approach Strait Castle. On the contrary, the Tang Dynasty navy kept attacking. As long as the news of a Tang ship having an accident at sea spread, pirates would be in trouble. Tang Ren seemed to know where those pirates were hiding. They could always pinpoint the island where the pirates were staying and use rockets to turn it into a sea of ??fire.
Even if there are surviving pirates, they cannot leave those scorched islands. Because their warships have been turned into pieces and are drifting in the sea. Their final end is not to be savages on the island. They were caught by passing ships and sold as slaves. He spent his whole life in the bottom of the cabin, living in darkness.
In the end, he never woke up one morning. The body was thrown into the sea like pork and was devoured by bloodthirsty sharks. The whole person seemed to have never been in this world, disappearing without leaving any trace.
The Tang Dynasty was so powerful that the Japanese royal family felt suffocated. While the Japanese people were hungry for wild vegetable dumplings, the Tang people were already luxuriously feeding their war horses with grain. If it were not for the open sea for part of the country's territory, it would be impossible for Japanese people to even go out to sea to fish.
Prince Jia Ziqing came to Chang'an again, bringing something that looked more like a love letter than a letter of credence. Yunhao curled his lips when he saw this thing, saying that it was Datang's flaw. This thing can only be made up for by time. No one goes to places like Liaodong where you can beat roe deer with sticks and gourds to scoop out fish, let alone a place like Japan where everything except tsunamis and earthquakes is gone.
Perhaps only when the population of the Tang Dynasty multiplied to a sufficient number could the occupied land be effectively controlled. Otherwise, we can only appease those foreigners. Perhaps this is why the Central Plains dynasties in history were able to conquer large territories. But when the dynasty declines, these places will be lost quickly.
Just like people from the Western Regions, they think the Tang Dynasty is like a huge flood. But the flood will pass sooner or later, when the flood passes. As long as the flood passes,Sooner or later the head will come out of the water. People from the Western Regions regard themselves as stones. Although they are temporarily submerged under water, they cannot be submerged under water forever.
They are hibernating, waiting for the day when they emerge from the water and see the light of day again.
Datang will not give them a chance to see the light of day again unless there is an internal crisis. The most important problem why the Han Empire fell apart was not external but internal. As long as the Central Plains Dynasty does not seek death, the foreigners in the Western Regions will not have any chance.
Li Chengqian¡¯s matter is a dangerous signal, if it weren¡¯t for Li Er¡¯s iron fist. It is very likely that the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty will be replicated. The Tang Dynasty's 50,000 troops in the Western Regions will not be able to defend this huge territory without a leader.
In fact, it is difficult for the Tang cavalry to patrol the Western Regions. This land is so big that if there is no airship, it would be a dream to patrol it every two months.
Li Daoyan wrote several times and wanted to build the railway to the Western Regions. But he was rejected by Li Er several times. It's not that Li Er didn't know that it was not easy to supply the Tang Dynasty's border troops. It's because they have no way to protect the safety of the railway. Someone destroys a small section of railway track in the dark, causing a big accident.
The Western Regions are a place where ethnic groups live together and the situation is very complicated. It's like Datang's situation of fragmentation and contracting, which is simply not feasible. Because the two tribes have a feud, they are likely to frame each other. If you want to find out the whole story, I'm afraid you can only ask God.
"Judgement is what officials do, and the military's responsibility is to kill people. Those killers will definitely draw a circle around the crime scene and then carry out indiscriminate attacks. The final result is that there is no one in that area!
Once or twice is okay, but over time it will definitely make people panic, and smoke will definitely appear everywhere in the Western Region. When millions of people from the Western Regions resist together, the 50,000 Tang army will be overwhelmed by a wave of people.
The most hotly debated issue in the Tang Dynasty recently is who is the most suitable person to throw this hot potato of the Western Regions to. Lao Cheng, who had tanned his skin in Hainan, looked at the ceiling of Tai Chi Palace. The paintings on it were very beautiful, and they turned out to be the story of Meng's mother's three moves. What's going on with just a bunch of bats flying around? Those who didn¡¯t know thought it was vampire bats attacking Meng¡¯s mother!
Lao Niu crossed his hands in front of him and kept circling his two thumbs. My eyes were fixed on the ground, and I could see clearly now that the floor texture of Tai Chi Palace was very beautiful, and I had to study it carefully.
Yuchi Gong wanted to go, but considering his low IQ, Li Er refused on the grounds of garrisoning the capital.
The scene made Li Er very sad. He was used to living in peace, and no one wanted to go to the Western Regions to eat sand and gain merit and wealth.
Whoever he looks at will avoid him. Chai Shao was like this, Qiao Shiwang was like this, and the two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche didn't even have the courage to look at Li Er. The shameless Liu Hongji actually didn't even have the courage to gain meritorious service and regain his title. The Gentle Township is the Tomb of Heroes, and the Gentle Township of Chang'an has sapped the fighting spirit of the veterans.
In the past, the Zhenguan Dynasty was full of fierce generals, but in the past few years, it has become more and more fierce. Many people have withered away, Li Jing is dead, Yin Kaishan is dead, Qu Tutong is dead, Hou Junji is dead, and Duan Zhixuan is dead. Zhang Jian and Zhang Gongjin were in Liaodong and Korea, and Li Daozong was in Nanzhao. Li Xiaogong is now in Guangzhou, helping Li Er look at Lingnan.
Overnight, Li Er suddenly felt that his talents were withering. In recent years, because middle-aged generals like Hou Junji have been reused, the training of generals has been neglected. Now, no one is available.
It¡¯s not that no one is suitable, Yunhao is suitable. But Li Er wouldn't believe it to his death that Yunhao, who was lazier than a pig, would go to the desert to eat sand. . (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
