Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 43: Court Discussion
The next morning, Yang Zheng entered the palace. It was a little early in the Tang Dynasty, about 5 o'clock, but the officials had to leave early, otherwise you would be late for work by then, and you, an official, would have done it .

Today is different from the past, there are many officials who have been sent out to attend the court meeting, so Li Shimin has relaxed the policy. Except for those important officials who usually go to court, others can arrive before 6 o'clock!Because of this, Yang Zheng took the time to drink a bowl of porridge and eat two deep-fried dough sticks!

Yawning, Yang Zheng followed a group of officials from a distance, listening to everyone's discussion.

"Why are there so many people today?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that those officials from the north have rushed back!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, there must be a big event today!"

When Yang Zheng arrived at the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall, it had already been a long time in the morning, and Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others had already discussed.

At 6 o'clock, Gao Xing came outside the hall and announced that Li Shimin had let everyone enter the hall for discussion.Yang Zheng also stood in his position in accordance with the regulations of the grade, and followed everyone into the hall.

Li Shimin sat in the middle, looking excited, it seemed that the court discussion just now had made him passionate.

After everyone finished shouting, Li Shimin said loudly: "Everyone loves you!"

It was only after Yang Zheng got up that he noticed that there were so many people in the Taiji Hall, and there were too many officials in the Tang Dynasty!
Li Shimin said again: "My dear friends, in the first year of Zhenguan, the Turkic people drove straight in and drank the Weishui River! I take it as the greatest shame in my life! Now three years have passed, and the Turkic people and my Tang Dynasty have already faded away, and our national strength is great. Tang already has an absolute advantage! I think it's time to solve the Turkic problem! Where is Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou?"

A middle-aged general in his 30s came out: "The minister is here!"

Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "Gongjin, how did you write the letter a few days ago, let's repeat it here today!"

Zhang Gongjin said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Gongjin then said: "My colleagues, now the Turkic Khan Jieli destroyed the Great Wall by himself, which gave me an opportunity to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty! First, Jieli is a cruel and heartless man who does not listen to the words of loyalty and righteousness, and repeatedly kills loyal ministers and good generals. Second, small tribes such as the Xueyantuo tribe have betrayed Jieli; third, the leaders of other Turkic tribes are dissatisfied with Jieli and intend to replace him, such as his nephew Tuli; fourth, most Turkic The natural disasters in the area are serious, not only drought, but also long frost, the Turkic food and grass will inevitably be in short supply; fifth, other ethnic groups under the Turkic rule are also dissatisfied with the auspicious rule. If our Tang army launches an attack, these ethnic groups will inevitably defect and counterattack Jieli; Sixth, there are many Han people in the north, and the Han people have been oppressed by the Turks for a long time. If we send troops in the Tang Dynasty, the Han people will definitely respond! In view of these six points, the Tang Dynasty will surely win!"

As soon as Zhang Gongjin finished speaking, all the ministers began to discuss.Indeed, Zhang Gongjin's analysis was perfect, and Yang Zheng also believed that it was true. Turks were divided internally, and their combat effectiveness was undoubtedly greatly reduced; and the shortage of food would inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the army. Such an army would not be able to win battles under normal circumstances!On the other hand, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army has improved year by year, and its weapons and equipment have also become more and more optimized. In addition, Li Shimin's confidence in the supply of food and grass has greatly increased after his arrival. Therefore, the Turks are really in danger this time!

Li Shimin stopped everyone's discussion and said: "All my lovers, please come out and talk about how to fight this battle."

Fang Xuanling, as the head of the hundred officials, was the first to come out and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Dudu Zhang said is very true, the Turkic is the number one enemy of my Tang Dynasty, if this enemy is by my side for a day, if you The wolf is at the table, and it is difficult to sleep and eat! So, this time, I, Tang, must take the opportunity to uproot the Turks!"

Du Ruhui, as one of the "Fang Mou Du Duan" groups, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I also think it should be fought. This battle must be fought to the end. Your Majesty can first fight with the Turkic Xueyantuo, Tuli, and Qibi Heli The ministries formed an alliance and promised that after the defeat of Xieli, the grassland would be owned by them. In this way, the various tribes in the grassland could not be united, and Xieli would have no soldiers to use. Our army would then drive straight in and destroy Xieli's lair. Definitely!" After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he coughed heavily, which made Yang Zheng firmly believe that the fact that Du Ruhui was sick in history was indeed true, since he came, he should give Lao Du a hand, and Li Shimin would also like to help him. Just do more good things!
Fang Mou Duan has been advising Li Shimin for a long time and has won Li Shimin's trust.This matter is basically a certainty!And this matter has long been approved by Li Shimin, and now it is discussed, it is just to release information to the ministers.

Sure enough, all the ministers agreed one after another, praising Li Shimin for his heroism, and he should get rid of the Turkic disaster as soon as possible!

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Since both my dear friends think that a battle is possible, then I will give it to you! My decree is to order Li Jing, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, to be the commander-in-chief of the Dingxiang Road march and to be in charge of the Chinese army. Yuchi Jingde and Su Dingfang are the deputy commanders." He appointed Li Shiji, the governor of the merged state, as the general manager of the Tongmo Road, and led his troops to fight in the hinterland of the Turks. Zhang Gongjin and Zhang Zhilong were his deputies. He appointed Chai Shao, the governor of Huazhou, as the general manager of the Jinhe Road march. He led the army to respond to Li Shiji's troops and threaten the western Turkic Road."

Yang Zheng almost fell asleep when he heard it. Anyway, Li Shimin sealed a lot of managers, but these people were under the control of Li Jing, and they went all out to attack the Turks.Sure enough, Zhang Zhilong joined Li Shiji's army and became a vanguard general!His route is very important, and it is this route that finally destroys Xieli's lair!

Yang Zheng thought that he had nothing to do with himself, it was so boring, if everything was as written in history, this Turk would die too easily!
Just as he was thinking, Li Shimin said, "Prince of the Golden Sword, do you have anything to say?"

Yang Zheng hadn't regained his composure all of a sudden, but Li Daozong on the side reached out and touched him: "Brother, I'm calling you!" Although Li Daozong is of high rank, he should stand in front, but he is very much loved by Li Shimin, so he stands deliberately. By Yang Zheng's side, it happened to remind Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng responded subconsciously: "Oh!" and walked out.

"Yonggui, do you want to say something?" Li Shimin saw that Yang Zheng was distracted, and reminded again "kindly".

"Your Majesty has arranged it very well, and I have nothing to say!" Yang Zheng said hastily.

"Is it really nothing?" Li Shimin reminded again.

Yang Zheng almost slapped himself. Li Shimin reminded him that it was not to make Yang Zheng come out to bask in the sun, but to make Yang Zheng bleed in a different way.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared [-] catties of dried meat, [-] catties of dried fish, and [-] catties of fine wine, and presented them to His Majesty for use in the army!" Yang Zheng said quickly, but his heart was bleeding.The [-] jin of dried meat and dried fish were still produced in the space, while the [-] jin of wine was high-grade wine. In this era, this stuff can not only be drunk, but can also be used for disinfection and sterilization, which is of great benefit to the wounded. !It's really a bit reluctant to take it out at once.

Yang Zheng paused, gritted his teeth, and said, "I still need to subsidize the army with [-] guan! At the same time, His Majesty can also call on the whole Tang Dynasty to donate money and materials. After all, His Majesty is going to war with the Turks for their bright future. Everyone in Tang Dynasty has the responsibility to support His Majesty!"

Li Shimin heard the words and immediately screamed: "Good! You are indeed worthy of being my good son-in-law, and he is reliable at critical moments! Well, I will leave the donation to you. It is all voluntary and cannot be forced! By the way, You also have to urge the people of Guo County to plant sweet potatoes well, if the army is caught in a protracted war, the food and grass will have to increase, and your sweet potatoes will come in handy by then!"

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty needs me, I am willing to repay the emperor's favor with all my heart!" Yang Zheng flattered without integrity.

With Yang Zheng's exemplary role, some ministers also came out to donate money and materials. For a while, Li Shimin's court unexpectedly became the office of the "Datang Red Cross Society", and the beneficiary was Li Shimin.

"Thank you, dear friends, for eliminating the Turks, I will reward them one by one!" Li Shimin was so happy that he couldn't agree more. Now that Yang Zheng started, so many people suddenly appeared to donate money and materials. It didn't take long. , Just raised tens of thousands of shi of food, although not as brilliant as Yang Zheng's jerky, but it can also solve the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and also received 10,000+ guan of money, which Li Shimin made happy to record one by one.

With these money and food, Li Shimin's next journey can be more leisurely!

Li Shimin now looks more and more pleasing to Yang Zheng's appearance, this son-in-law is really better than his own son!
