A great victory? Are you wrong? Didn’t you win? Didn’t Japan be defeated? Still fighting? What’s the fight this time? What’s wrong? I’m talking about Japan. Is the victory ahead fake?

Many people have this question, and they cannot say that they are wrong, but because for a long time, the Central Plains have regarded themselves as orthodox, and the Central Plains dynasty has vast territory. Not to mention the current Tang Dynasty, even if they simply recruit a small country in the Spring and Autumn Period, they will basically not be much smaller than a state today.

How big is Japan? This is a mystery. The Japanese envoy sent the Tang Dynasty more than once said that Japan is about two states of the Tang Dynasty, and that is not small. As a country, it is so big that it has such a large territory across the Tang Dynasty. At least, it is about the same size as Nanzhao in the south?[]

The question is here, how could the Japanese who sent the Tang envoys to tell the Tang Dynasty, Oh, our country is just one of the dozens of tribes in Japan, and it is not as big as your county, or about the same size as a village. If that is said, I guess no one in the Tang Dynasty will be able to birdie them anymore. How could a country with a big fortune be worthy of such attention from the Tang Dynasty? Do you dare to jump and try it? Believe it or not!

In order to attract the attention of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese deliberately did not say how big their country was, but they all said that the entire Japan had been unified, etc. The officials and the court of Tang Dynasty were used to seeing great powers and places. No parents in the place were in charge of huge territory. How could they imagine that even a small place could dare to call themselves a country? Therefore, they took it for granted that the entire Japan was a country, and some people envied them, saying that there was no enemy around them and that the people could live and work in peace. At this time, there were no satellites or anything else, so you could tell at a glance that the Central Plains dynasty had always regarded themselves as the boss, and they regarded going to other places as demoted or sent to a small country, which was thankless and hard work. Therefore, no one wanted to, and no one thought about going to Japan to see it.

In the previous victory, Huang Da only said to defeat the Orihiro family, and did not say much else. Huang Liang and Li Yesi were afraid that they would say too much or wrong, so they also said in the Tang newspaper that they had captured Japan and captured the king of the country. Huang Dayuan was so far from Dongzhu Hong Kong, and there was no way to make it clear. He didn't know that the court had issued the "Declaration of the Thieves". He dared to fight because the Japanese slaves captured Ping Moritian. The little Dong family hated the Japanese slaves. Furthermore, the little Dong family had submitted a report to the court. Although there was no conclusion on whether to fight or not, based on the attitude of the court's previous handling of the proposed Xiao Dong family, the fight may be mostly involved. Since that is the case, why not fight? When your Japanese slaves shouted to protest, they might be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Who would you go to protest?

No matter how question is, the good news is definitely not fake. Who dared to use the courage to deceive the court with such a big deal? Moreover, Huang Liang had followed Li Shimin for several years to fight, and Li Yesi was Li Jing's grandson. These were all people who knew Li Shimin well, and the Changsun family was also in Jian'an. Therefore, Li Shimin would not doubt the truth or falsehood of this good news. If he had any questions in his heart, he could only suppress the good news first and pass it on to see.

This good news came in time. Li Shimin glanced at Li Jing. Any military news, as long as it is not urgent, must pass the Ministry of War first, and the Ministry of War will verify it correctly before it is submitted. Otherwise, if it is not verified, it will be presented like this. If it is a mess, the joke is not small. Only those urgent things that are urgent, and the two sides will take the least benefits. Whether it is true or false, submit it first, so that the court can be mentally prepared to verify it. It is much better than waiting for verification and then submit it after verification.

In any case, it will not be a big fuss in the face of Japan. Moreover, there have been great victories before. Judging from the previous good news, the good news this time should be true, and it was only uploaded after verification by the Ministry of War.

There was no need for Li Shimin to signal. The yellow gate standing beside the secretary ran forward, took the good news from the yellow gate at the door of the hall with a red rope, turned around and walked into the hall to read it. Such good news did not require the emperor to read it first and then read it. The relationship between the monarch and the ministers in the Tang and Song dynasties was far less stringent than that in the Ming and Qing dynasties. At this time, the emperor had not had that great power. He wanted to issue a government order. If the ministers opposed it, it would still be rejected by the ministers. In fact, the monarchs in the Tang and Song dynasties were not as strict as those in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The lord is closer to a constitutional monarch. The only difference is that one holds the power of life and death, can reward and punish, has the power of appointment and removal of officials, while the other only has the power of veto. Some people may say, just this, and it is also a constitutional monarch? But don’t forget that the monarch of the Tang and Song dynasties is probably a little more difficult than the prime minister’s desire to kill one person. Therefore, in the view of the king, Li Shimin’s power may be smaller than that of the Taizu of the Red Dynasty. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that Taizu of the Red Dynasty is the emperor.

(Grey Bird suddenly remembered the comments of Chinese teachers when they read "Counting romantic figures, and looking at the present day" in middle school: This is to be an emperor, otherwise how could he compare himself to those people? If he doesn't want to be an emperor, at most, he will compare them with Yue Fei and Huo Qubing.)

The good news was very short, with only a few words, but when he heard the good news, almost the entire Zichen Hall was in a flash on the spot. What? In just half a day, Izumo's army, known as the No. 1 tribe of Japan, was taken down? Not even a soldier was injured? But Huang Junshi stepped forward and chopped a few people in a row, and the other party immediately surrendered. Near! Huang Junshi was so powerful. No wonder, no wonder, he dared to enter the thief camp alone and owed the thief's head! This was the first feeling of the military officer.

As for civil servants, they didn't care much about how brave Huang Da was. What they cared about was the last sentence they heard: The silver mine stretched for dozens of miles, and it was as dazzling as a star. Another silver ingot and various silver jewelry from the Yun Ministry were seized and combined with one million taels!

Good, one million taels! That is one million jin, which is much higher than the annual tax of the Tang Dynasty. If it weren’t for the efforts made by the Jian’an County Bo over the years, the annual fiscal and tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty could not have reached 500,000. It was only two years, more than one year, but it has not yet exceeded the million mark. It is because of the words of Jian’an County Bo, that hiding wealth over the people is better than hiding wealth over the officials.

Think about it again, it stretches for dozens of miles, as dazzling as stars. How much silver should there be? (Grey Birds are not geology-based, and they don’t know what the real silver mine is. However, based on the backward technology of the Japanese slaves at that time, the Shijian silver mine should be an open-pit mine, and there should be many molded silver crystals precipitated. Of course, this is just a guess and cannot be counted). If these silver mines were mined, this would be unimaginable.

At this time, it was no longer important to send troops without orders. What was important was that the Jianzhou navy obtained huge wealth for the Tang Dynasty. If there was enough silver, imitating the example of the King of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and minting silver coins to replace copper coins, the logistics in the world would be much smoother, and the merchants' daily exchange of money and goods would be more convenient. Moreover, in the future, all other taxes could be replaced with money in addition to food! Some civil servants had a subtle change in their minds, from the fact that they were indeed guilty of sending troops without authorization, and this army was sent well and timely.

Just imagine, if you wait until everything is done and send troops with great fanfare, even if it is just Jianzhou, it will be at least a few months later. A few months earlier or a few months later, that would be a big income gap.

The face of the old man Huang's four-sect also changed again and again. He had already noticed that the expressions of the big guys had changed a lot. If the big guys had been watching the excitement before, then now they were ready to speak for the Erlangzi of the Wang family. If it were not possible, this matter could not be exposed like this.

Perhaps he was really blinded by his anger at Wang Kuang at this moment. As Li Tai's think tank, he shouldn't be so uneasy, nor should he not understand the situation so clearly. In fact, it was Yuchi Jingde's angrily scolding, then Cheng Zhijie's threat, and then Wang Kuang's unscrupulous laughter was not stopped by the emperor. This series of stimulation made him mess up. At this time, he had only one thought in his mind, and he must pull Wang Erlang off his horse!

"Your Majesty, merit is merit, and fault is fault. I think that the army is a great deal without an order! If this is the case, if one day, the Jian'an County Bo suddenly sent troops to suppress the country of Liuqiu, which is not far from Fuzhou, or rather, he sent troops directly to Chang'an... Your Majesty, think twice." Just as the buzzing voice in the court, Old Man Huang shouted at the top of his lungs.

As soon as he said this, some people from the fence clan immediately moved their bodies and widened the distance between him and Old Man Huang. This dog was crazy, let's hide away.

Many people's faces were filled with contempt. What this said? Ah, compare Chang'an with Japan? Compare the people of the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese slaves? Who doesn't know that although Liu Qiu is known as a country, he always regards himself as the people of the Tang Dynasty? Besides, is the Jian'an County Bo such a person? You didn't see that Pu Shaojiang used disgraceful means at the beginning, but the Jian'an County Bo did not blame him, but helped him along the way. You didn't see the Changsun family. What did the Changsun family do to the Jian'an County Bo? As a result, the Changsun family only turned this out.

In addition to being famous, the Changsun family has gained a lot of benefits from following the Jian'an County Boss in the past two years. The Wang family in Taiyuan also mocked the Jian'an County Boss, a little Xuandelang, for overestimating their abilities? Now, a child leads the Jianzhou navy. He blames the Japanese for doing this. Who made them dare to go to Jian'an to abduct people? This is like this. We are not blind. It is obvious that the Jian'an County Boss will never tolerate any of them. However, as long as the Tang Dynasty officials and people do not touch his bottom line, he will smile.
