Li Tai said: "Taking Goguryeo as an example, in addition to understanding its population and soldiers, we should also grasp its arable land area, annual grain output, weapons and logistics resources production capacity, and emergency mobilization and armed capabilities for the people.

These are the strength that can be seen on the surface, as well as the invisible soft power.

The relationship between the Khitan, the Marine, the Xi tribe, the Shiwei, Baekje, Silla, and even the Japanese countries should be well aware of the Tang Dynasty.

These tribes and countries, which are united with the interests of Goguryeo, which are temporarily united by their temptations and temptations, which are the neutral forces that can be fought for our Tang Dynasty, and which will turn to Goguryeo during wartime, we must deal with each defeat in advance.

The above is a work done from the overall perspective, and domestic information collection cannot be left behind.

For example, how many days does the overall climate of the country and territory suit the war last year, how different the climates are in the country, and what are the pros and cons for both the enemy and us?

We must also understand the power distribution of various factions in the court, and the conflicts and entanglements between them.

We should carefully understand their character traits, combat styles, and relationships with colleagues at the military commander and above..."

Li Tai said it aroused, bringing all the pan-diplomacy principles of the lighthouse country in later generations, which actually covers the combination of traditional diplomacy and intelligence work.

He said, and he took a breath after a stick of incense, "The diplomacy I envisioned must grasp all the above information of the target country!

On this basis, we made a judgment on whether it was hostile, friendly or neutral to the Tang Dynasty, and then the Tang Dynasty made a diplomatic strategy based on this.

Those who are kind to the Tang Dynasty can establish diplomatic relations with them to help them. Those who are unstable in the Tang Dynasty will implement precise policies based on their weaknesses, and fight with the other hand until they bow to the Tang Dynasty.

As for those who insist on being enemies with the Tang Dynasty, if they judge from geopolitics that the contradictions are irreconcilable, huh, our Tang Dynasty must formulate a policy of destroying the country that has not been easy for generations, and will never give up until it is destroyed!"

His mind was excited and his thoughts were quite leaps and bounds, and he still showed off the pan-diplomacy concept of the Lighthouse Country, which made a group of local locals in the Tang Dynasty stunned.

Whether it was the civil officials such as Changsun Wuji, the military generals of Li Daozong, or even the genius of a generation, Li Shimin had never heard of such a systematic diplomatic theory?

For a moment, the entire Hanyuan Palace was silent.

Cheng Yaojin was so excited that he trembled his hand and pulled out a bloody beard, grinning and said, "I'm my own mother, it turns out that this can be done in diplomatic relations.

If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is really as powerful as you said, it is wrong. As long as half of it is powerful, then all the countries around the Tang Dynasty will be in trouble.

King Wei, why are you so bad? If my daughter married you, you wouldn't play this trick with Lao Cheng, right?"

Li Jie sighed: "Old man Cheng, according to the plan of King Wei, you are going to become famous. Why don't you thank King Wei?"

Cheng Yaojin said inexplicably: "What do you mean? I have become famous as a Duke in Chang'an. Why do you want to thank the King of Wei?"

Li Jie said quietly: "Because once this Ministry of Foreign Affairs is established, even if you, Old Man Cheng, are fools who rely on God to reward you to get the reward for destroying the country with ease!"

Cheng Yaojinxi said: "Bah, I am a little bit worse than His Majesty's ability to fight. How can I need the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help?"

Changsun Wuji said: "According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' approach, our Tang Dynasty wants to deal with disobedient countries. Before sending troops, we have already figured out the other party's background and have tortured the other party in advance. The forceful expedition is just the last kick to cross the high wall.

In this way, Mr. Cheng really has the opportunity to destroy the country.

The young man is so terrifying. Your Majesty, we old guys are about to be unable to keep up with the young people’s brains.”

Cheng Yaojin immediately caught Changsun Wuji and squirted wildly. The entire Hanyuan Palace was also buzzing, and ministers discussed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in groups of three or five.

Li Shimin laughed so hard that Li Tai had given him a face today, and there were few wrinkles on his face.

His biggest heart disease has always been his three legitimate sons. Although he loved him very much, none of them inherited his ability to be both civil and military.

Now Li Tai's knowledge has some of his own childhood shadows, which makes him feel refreshed and old.

After Hanyuan Palace finally returned to quiet, Li Shimin smiled and coughed, "The King of Wei advocated the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and everyone discussed it well. Let's talk about it.

After all, it's new, and I have no idea.

Chengfan, you talk first, don’t be restrained and speak freely!”

Ministers familiar with the emperor, such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, etc., all clearly received the signal that the boss was in a good mood and wanted to shine. How could he get angry?

The emperor was the first to point out Li Daozong's name. This famous general of the royal family was not a silly man. Adding to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was indeed the foundation of benefiting the country, so he had no need to object.

"Your Majesty, I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is indeed as the King of Wei said, and it can make the Tang Dynasty more wings in diplomatic affairs. I think it can be set up."

King Jiangxia had a positive attitude and firm stance, which fired the first shot for Li Tai.

"I, Lao Cheng, also has 100 supporters, hahahahahaha, with this Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the war of destruction of the Tang Dynasty will be handed over to Lao Cheng in the future!

From now on, Your Majesty, you will hold your grandson in Chang'an and wait for my good news."

Cheng Yaojin was so anxious.

Changsun Wuji also nodded and said, "I also agreed to establish a Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so that the three provinces will save a lot of effort."

Wei Zheng said: "Yes, I think that with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, even if the Tang Dynasty has no heroic rulers and no famous generals and capable ministers in the dynasty in the future, as long as they handle foreign affairs in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the principles of geopolitics, they can ensure that there will be no major mistakes in major diplomatic affairs.

From then on, the Tang Dynasty had an additional sword to maintain the country!"

Li Tai was mixed with emotion, and the morning wind in Zhenguan was the secret of the cheap father's success in Tian Khan.

Even if there are conflicts between ministers with stance and interests, once major military and political affairs are involved, bigwigs from different camps can restrain the desire for party struggles and put state affairs first.

As a group of bigwigs expressed their opinions, the resolution to establish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was officially passed in the first month of the 16th year of Zhenguan.

The countries around the Tang Dynasty lived a dark day from then on. For the specific situation, please refer to the experiences of neighboring countries during the rise of the Russians.

Li Shimin happily accepted the sincere hearts of all the ministers and solemnly announced the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

After a democratic centralism process, Li Tai was appointed as the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty. At Li Tai's strong suggestion, the Minister of the Shangshu was later changed to the Minister.

Li Tai sincerely knelt down for the cheap father for the first time and shouted for gratitude. The first foreign minister of the Tang Dynasty, he finally had a real difference and had the foundation for his establishment in the court.

This variant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty was not so ill-hearted and mixed with sand when it was proposed. In essence, it has integrated diplomacy and foreign intelligence work.

This is absolutely impossible in later generations. Diplomacy and foreign intelligence work are the core functions of the country. If the two are combined into one, it will definitely give birth to a giant monster.

In other words, the Tang Dynasty's local beggars had no knowledge, which made Li Tai take advantage of the loophole, and Li Tai secretly called for his gratitude.

He was very ambitious for a moment, and the freak Ministry of Foreign Affairs got it, so we became the boss who held the Secretary of State in the left hand and the CIA in the right hand.

The little man in Li Tai's heart danced the hushang dance again.
