Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 244 A group of white-eyed wolves
[Goguryeo should go out if you want to go out, if Goguryeo is not enough, let Silla and Baekje go out, if one country is not enough, let three countries go out together, whatever drops is enough. 】

[If the taxation of these three countries is not enough for military expenditure, then they can only be sold to sell people. At that time, there will be so many captives in the three countries. These are free human resources and cannot be wasted. 】

[At that time, their families can be asked to buy them with money, or they can sell their bodies to redeem them. Anyway, they will not be given a chance to breathe, so that they will never have a chance to make waves again. 】

[As for having no money to buy it back, and no one in the family selling themselves to buy it back, it’s fine to just throw it away to mine or build roads, anyway, don’t even think about going back in this life. 】

[The prosperity of a country naturally depends on the corpses of tens of thousands of foreigners. I like to step on the corpses of other people, but I don't like to step on the corpses of people from the Tang Dynasty. I just don't know what Li Er thinks. 】

Li Shimin originally agreed with Li Fu's idea, but when he heard Li Fu's heartfelt words behind him, his eyes lit up.

It is true that Datang is now seriously annexing land, and a large number of people are displaced. Once a natural disaster occurs, there will be various disasters and refugees fleeing famine.

So what Li Fu said made sense. Conquering other countries to give life to the common people in one's own country is a good strategy. It can not only stabilize the local situation, but also eliminate various hidden dangers in the conquered land.

Although he will bear some infamy because of this, as long as he can strengthen Datang, there is nothing to bear some infamy. Anyway, he has enough infamy, and it doesn't matter if there is more!
Thinking of the fact that the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials have come to him every day to cry for poverty, and want to settle the military expenses of the Eastern Expedition by himself, Li Shimin also thought about asking Li Fu for support, but now that he looks at it this way, the problem has been solved.

Why should you stop when you kill three birds with one stone, you must continue to fight, continue to fight until you are satisfied!

So when everyone thought that Li Shimin would issue an order for the army to return to the court, Li Shimin suddenly made an incredible decision, "Continue the Eastern Expedition, and return to the court without the squadron."

When the courtiers present heard it, they all thought that they were hallucinating, and asked questions one after another.

"Think twice, Your Majesty, you have already captured the 36 cities of Liaodong, why don't you return the court?"

"Yeah, don't chase after the poor. Now occupying so many cities has involved most of the energy of our army. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that we will easily fall into the enemy's trap. At that time, the gain will not be worth the loss, and it will be too late to regret!"

"Your Majesty, maybe you have other plans, why don't you tell us and let's go over them together."

Li Shimin said in shock, "I do have other plans, because this time my purpose is not only to destroy Goguryeo, but also Silla and Baekje. I want my Dragon Banner of the Tang Dynasty to be planted all over the Korean peninsula!"

Wow... Everyone in the court was dumbfounded. No one thought that Li Shimin's plan was so big.

The generals screamed excitedly one by one. Before knowing Li Shimin's intentions, everyone thought that Li Shimin would just accept it when he saw it, but now they heard Li Shimin's intention to continue to increase troops on the Korean peninsula. How could they not excited.

The generals were excited, but the civil servants were uncomfortable. Fang Xuanling and others stepped forward to persuade them.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate. The treasury has already been unable to make ends meet after the war. If the fight continues, at most it will support our army to capture Goguryeo!"

"But Your Majesty will continue to attack Silla and Baekje now, and the national treasury may be powerless at that time!"

Li Shimin waved his hand, "It's okay, I have already checked the treasury accounts, and it is enough to finish this battle, so you don't need to say more!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Wei Zheng stood up suddenly, "Your Majesty, is conquering these countries more important than living in the Tang Dynasty? Could it be a war, and you can ignore everything else? Take the way of death!"

No one can bear his own ministers, saying that they are militaristic and self-defeating, even if they are famous ministers.

Li Shimin's face suddenly changed, but just as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Fang Xuanling also stood up.

"Your Majesty, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, the border protection, and the bandits in the south of the Five Ridges all need a lot of money to deal with. You really can't empty out your family because of a Korean peninsula!"

"If you don't just conquer Goguryeo and make Silla and Baekje completely submit to our Tang Dynasty, it will be the same at that time. Why do you have to send troops to destroy it?"

Fang Xuanling's statement is not as radical as Wei Zheng's, and to a certain extent, it is basically consistent with Li Shimin's previous thoughts, making it easier for Li Shimin to listen.

But after listening to Li Fu's voice, Li Shimin had made up his mind to hold the Korean Peninsula in his hands.

From Li Fu's voice, Li Shimin knew that these barbarian small countries must not have any hope for them, otherwise they will be the next Goguryeo, the next Tubo, what he wants is once and for all!
So Li Shimin didn't hesitate at all, and just waved his hand and said: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, I have already decided!"

Hearing Li Shimin's resolute words, the civil servants who had just persuaded Li Shimin were all ashamed. They didn't expect Li Shimin to become so stubborn, and they would not listen to persuasion no matter what.

Li Fu saw this scene with a smile on his face, because in his opinion, Li Shimin's approach coincided with his. The courtiers cannot understand Li Shimin's thoughts now, but after the war is over, Naturally, you will understand slowly.

Li Shimin noticed the expressions of the courtiers and couldn't help but added, "Don't worry, gentlemen, I can guarantee that after this war, as long as the Korean Peninsula is included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I will make the national treasury available in the shortest possible time." Become full.”

Hearing Li Shimin's assurance, Wei Zheng didn't believe it at all, "Your Majesty said it lightly. Silla and Baekje are small barbarian countries. Even if they are defeated, how much money will go into the national treasury?"

"Wei Zheng, what do you mean by this? I have already said this, and you still have objections?" Li Shimin suddenly became unhappy.

Wei Zheng's stubborn temper also came up, "I don't dare, I just dare to ask Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can't fill the treasury by then, what should I do?"

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Fu looked at Li Shimin's livid face, and couldn't help shaking his head.

[How does Li Er discipline his subordinates? It’s better to abdicate and let Xian give it to me. He can’t even handle Wei Zheng, so he’s a fart! 】

[One or two are terrible, I thought that Tang could not move without you, why don't you fly to the sky! 】

Li Fu sneered in his heart, Li Shimin was annoyed at Wei Zheng for keeping him from stepping down, but when he heard Li Fu's inner voice, he suddenly became even more annoyed.

Good guy, the courtiers forced him, and his son actually set his sights on his throne. It's just a bunch of white-eyed wolves!
