The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

The places occupied by those small countries are not even marked, how do you look at it.

"Your Majesty, get me a pen and ask me to help Your Majesty complete the patterns on this map."

Doo Ho said.

Pen and ink in hand.

Du He picked up a pen and drew quickly, quickly sketching on the map.

Outline the image of Southeast Asia in Li Er's map.

But what?

Li Er's map is too small, and the area left to draw is not enough to draw the entire Southeast Asia.

In more than ten minutes, a simple map appeared.

Du He pointed to the place in Nanyue.

"Your Majesty, this place is the old land of the Central Plains, which was once conquered by Qin Shihuang's general Zhao Tuo.

Later, the Qin Empire fell so quickly that Zhao Tuo was allowed to establish a country here and became the local emperor of this place.

This place is near the sea and has a subtropical climate with abundant rainfall, which is very suitable for the growth of food crops.planted here,

There are three seasons a year.There is a food crop of rice that only needs to be planted once and can produce three seasons.In addition, there are only three seasons in a year here,

There is no winter.This place has a lot of mineral resources and a lot of rare forest trees. Once it is brought into the core area of ​​the empire,

The importance is beyond doubt.Most importantly, for the empire to develop its navy, a base must be established here.

With that naval base, one is to keep an eye on the surrounding areas, and the other is to deter the surrounding small countries and ensure the safety of the empire. "

Duho explained.

Chapter 373 Li Er Appoints Du He as Chief Governor

I saw Li Er thinking.

"Your Majesty, if this place in Annan is not a good place, how could Zhao Tuo establish his country there for so many years without perishing.

You must know that the Han Empire has raised troops for many conquests, all of which ended in failure.explain that place,

Not only is it rich in food and grass, but it is also a suitable place for people to live.

The most important thing for Weichen is that this place has the best naval base, and the empire must build a port here. "

Duho added.

Li Er is an enterprising emperor.

Du He didn't believe there were so many benefits, so he wasn't tempted.

On another plane, Li Er is indeed a holy lord and a wise monarch of a generation, who opened up many territories for the empire and laid down many territories.

Lay a solid foundation for the rapid development of the Tang Empire.

In the following hundred years, they basically lived on their laurels.

If it hadn't been for the generation of Empress Wu Zetian, I really don't know what it would be like to rely on Li Zhi, that waste.

To be honest, among Li Er's many sons, Du He is the most optimistic about Li Tai and Li Ke.

It is a pity that Li Tai failed to ascend to the position, Li Ke was also slandered by others, and because he was not a legitimate son, he lost the chance to seize the position.

"Du He, what about these small countries?"

Second-hand Li pointed to the location of Laowo and others on the map.

"Your Majesty, going up from here is the Nanzhao Kingdom, bordering the Empire, Annan, Laowo, Pugan and other countries.

Pugan, Xingdao, Guma and other places are close to the sea.From Bagan to the west is the Mauryan Empire, and it is also a powerful empire.

Of course, there are many small countries here, all of which are good places with many minerals and areas rich in food.

Most importantly, this area is very important to the technological development of the empire.

One of them is called the rubber tree, which only grows in the tropics, and the empire does not produce it.Rubber is a strategic material. "

Du He seduced.

Li Er felt itchy when he heard that.

"By the way, Duhe, is there gold in those places?"

Li Erdao.

Damn it!

What is gold!

Gold is just a mineral.

Du He despised Li Er severely in his heart.

"Your Majesty, there are gold mines, but they are mainly in these areas, no less than those in the Eastern Kingdom. It takes some effort to mine them."

Doo Ho said.

"Your Majesty, Pugan mainly produces rare forest trees, and there is also a kind of jade, which is harder than Hetian jade and of high quality."

Duho added.

Damn!

I don't believe that Li Er is not moved.

Human desires are endless.

Whether it is a wise king, a hero, or an ordinary person, everyone has desires.

"Your Majesty, let me go to Lingnan to help Your Majesty lay down a territory and bring those small countries under the banner of the empire."

Du He said.

Hahaha!

Li Er laughed out loud.

"Du He, the ambition is not small! The problem is that the road is too difficult to walk, and it is not realistic to build Lingnan all at once, so we have to take our time."

Li Erdao.

Damn it!

It's a waste of Duhe's tongue.

"Du He, don't get entangled, I will let you go to the Lingnan area as the governor, and take charge of the affairs of the Lingnan area.

However, not now.Wait until the Eastern Kingdom wins, and then consider the issues in the south of the Five Ridges. "

Li Erdao.

Oh!

Du He pretended to be aggressive.

Exclaim!

"Your Majesty, are you going to go to the East?"

Du He pretended to be forceful.

Hahaha!

"Two years ago, your boy suggested to me that the preparation time for dispatching troops would be two years. Now it will be here soon. Can the Beihai Fleet go out?"

Li Erdao.

"Your Majesty, don't worry! Not only the strength of the North Sea Fleet has skyrocketed, but also the number of shipping vessels under Weichen has increased a lot.

It can be transferred to help the empire transport soldiers and horses.Just waiting for His Majesty's order, thousands of troops will attack the Eastern Kingdom. "

Du He patted his chest and said.

The purpose of showing an awe-inspiring and excited look is to let Li Er see that Du He is ready.

Du He was actually unwilling to be an official, especially a civil servant.

What I still want most is to lead troops into battle.

It is Du He's duty to expand the territory of the Tang Empire.

It's rare to get the Tang Empire, if you don't perform well, you will live up to the journey.

Hahaha!

Li Er laughed wildly.

"Du He, I know that keeping you in Chang'an for the past two years is really uncomfortable. However, some things,

You still have to experience it, the empire will depend on you young people in the future.You can't just fight and kill, governing the country is also essential.

I have high expectations for you kid, don't let me down. "

Li Erdao.

"Your Majesty, don't worry! Where do you point, where do you fight, as long as someone dares to provoke Your Majesty,

The knife in Weichen's hand slashes at any enemy.Let the enemy know that Weichen's knife is not a dull knife, but an extremely sharp sword. "

Doo Ho said.

Flatter every sentence and shoot it down.

Li Er was very happy.

"Good! I like to hear it."

Li Erdao.

"Du He listens!"

Li Erdao.

brush!

Du He stood up all of a sudden, with his chest raised high, like a tree.

"Wei Chen Du He reports for duty!"

Duhe said loudly.

"I have appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Kingdom, and the North Sea Fleet will obey your command, and will send [-] troops from Chang'an to accompany you.

The soldiers and horses in Youzhou and other places are under your control, and they will definitely go out next year.Now you go to the peninsula to prepare for the expedition. "

Li Erdao.

"Wei Chen obeys!"

Doo Ho said.

Next, he took the soldier talisman and gold medal from Li Er, and gave a military salute to Li Er.

"Du He, what gift is this you boy?"

Li Erdao.

"Your Majesty, this is the military salute of the new military system, also known as eyebrow raising ceremony. The old military system is inconvenient and not suitable for the military."

Duho explained.

Hahaha!

"Not bad! Really good! It seems that the saluting person is quite energetic."

Li Erdao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!"

Doo Ho said.

"It seems that the new military system needs to be implemented quickly. I see that the new military system is more in line with command operations.

The death of the chief officer will not cause the army to lose its backbone. It is indeed a very good military system.The division is the unit,
