Chapter 462 Volume 5 Li Er's Countermeasures(2/2)
This is the power of Conglong!
Li Chengqian still shook his head and said with regret: "It's too late, just a few days too late. Now my Ming Dynasty has signed an arms sales agreement with Xue Yantuo. If I attack Xue Yantuo at this time, what should I do to my Ming Dynasty?"
The general's explanation?
If they die on the battlefield under the arms of our Ming Dynasty, how should I face their families?
Even if they are soldiers of the Western Turks, aren't they our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?
You know, the ordnance sold to Xue Yantuo this time is enough to equip their entire army!
If this battle is fought, there will definitely be heavy losses...
Can Master Ashina bear to watch his own people fight in such a war?"
Ashina Nisse was stunned, and his whole body felt bad.
If Xue Yantuo's entire army was really equipped with the Ming Dynasty's ordnance, then they would have done nothing.
Originally, they were at a disadvantage in the fight with Xue Yantuo. If they were to fight Xue Yantuo, who was fully armed, they would really be looking for death.
Thinking of this, Ashina Nishu gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, if our soldiers in the Western Turks are also equipped with the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, I, the Western Turks, even if I risk my life, I will help Your Highness take down the hard bone of Xue Yantuo."
!”
"No more..." Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "No more. Before, I always thought that Ashina Shangshu's surrender was a joke, so except for the ordnance equipped by the Ming Dynasty's original army, all the ordnance was
Sold out.
It will take at least another year to accumulate such a large amount of ordnance.
Ashina Shangshu also knows that although the Ming Dynasty finally won this war, this land has suffered from famine almost every year in the past few years. It is too short of food!
I have no choice but to sell a large amount of weapons to raise food for our Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, among the surrounding countries, who is willing to sell grain to our Ming Dynasty?
This king is not having a good life either.
Ashina Shangshu was also a powerful person in charge of a country in the past. He must understand the pressure of millions of people opening their mouths to eat when I wake up every day, right?
It’s difficult for me too…”
Ashina Nishu was a little dazed at first, but after hearing it later, he really understood.
Although he only had a few days as the Khan of the Western Turks, he understood what Li Chengqian said.
Indeed, waking up every day with millions of mouths open to eat really put him under tremendous pressure.
Maybe, this is the helplessness of being the helmsman of an empire.
At this point, he really had nothing to say.
Because he is one of the few people present who can understand Li Chengqian's pressure. The other person is Qibi Heli.
Seeing the helpless look on Ashina Nishu's face, Li Chengqian said again: "There is no way, Ashina Minister does have good intentions, but it is really a day too late.
The country is so big that it cannot be established without trust. It seems that our Ming Dynasty has lost the best opportunity to expand its territory."
Even though he said that, he felt very proud in his heart.
Can he touch Xue Yantuo?
Can move an egg!
Judging from the current situation, Xue Yantuo is Li Er's forbidden love. If Li Chengqian dares to have thoughts about Xue Yantuo, Li Er shouldn't tear him alive?
Not to mention Li Er, half of the Tang Dynasty probably had to guard against Li Chengqian.
What do you want to do? Are you planning to encircle and annihilate Datang from west to north?
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Chengqian to have any thoughts about Xue Yantuo, and he does not dare to have any thoughts about Xue Yantuo.
At least, his current ability is not enough to offend Datang like this.
Qibi Heli, Yi Yuanfeng and others also sighed slightly...
What a pity, this is the power of Conglong.
Of course, it's not like they didn't persuade Li Chengqian to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but Li Chengqian never agreed.
They still understand this.
Although there is only one word difference between His Majesty and Your Highness, it would be a bit funny if the emperor of Ming Dynasty could inherit the throne of Tang Dynasty.
If Li Chengqian ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, then he will really not be able to secure his position as Prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone is actually very aware of this.
"Come on, come on, drink, drink." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Qibi Heli immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "I, the Ming Dynasty, have made great progress in just one year. If I go further in the future, it will only be just
It’s a matter of time, little Xue Yantuo, it’s okay if you don’t want it.”
Although he felt sorry, he didn't take it too seriously.
Immediately, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere relaxed again.
On the other side, Chang'an Palace and Liangyi Hall.
Li Er summoned Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others to discuss matters.
What was discussed was the merger of Hezhou and Taozhou into one prefecture proposed by Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter can be done." Li Xiaogong said, "If Hezhou and Taozhou are combined into one province or a city, and trade with the Ming Dynasty is used, we can indeed build a northwest hero in a short time.
With the city out, we can also use this to check and balance the Ming court.
This is indeed a good thing for me, Datang."
Li Xiaogong's position is very clear. Even though he is Li Chengqian's uncle, he will not take sides easily.
After all, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he really didn't need to have any idea of taking sides.
As long as he doesn't rebel, he will be the prince of the Tang Dynasty!
"There is still a problem." Wei Zheng heard this and shook his head.
