God-level Governor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 49 Respect Datang!like a god

"This kid has a temper with me. If you dare to provoke me, I will not only kill your people, but also occupy your territory and use it to beat you in the future."

Yuchi Jingde exclaimed.

Awesome, brother Wang Xiu!

What is killing and punishing one's heart? This is killing and punishing one's heart.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Now I guess Shelong regrets it a little bit, this is asking for trouble, and offending a ruthless person!"

Those who kill you will also grab your territory and prepare for beating you in the future.

Who can stand this, it's completely understood and I'm going to mess with you.

He didn't expect the son of a civil official to be so cruel, Shelong probably cried.

The key is that this kid knows how to be a man, and he actually gave the emperor the qualification to name Hemanbu. Why is he suppressing it with dragon spirit? He is simply a good flatterer.

"I think Wang Xiu is very good. He is a good seedling. The battlefield is not a place for benevolence. If you attack me, you will have to pay the price!"

Yang Shidao, a veteran who was in charge of defending the Turks, said with relief when he heard Fang Xuanling's words.

He was born in war, and the Turks were so arrogant back then that they were about to ride on the head of the Tang Dynasty. Was it useful to reason with him then?

There's a fart!

It is not the last to fight back by force, so the battle must be ruthless, it is best to uproot the enemy, that is the safest.

"Old Yang is right, the purpose of war is to beat the enemy to their knees, otherwise we really think that everything can bite our Datang." Yuchi Jingde sneered.

Li Shimin nodded, and said with a smile: "This Shelong's vain attempt to establish a country has already threatened our Tang Dynasty. Wang Xiu's move is in line with my wishes. This and the barbarian department should be our stronghold for our Tang Dynasty to attack Shelong in the future!"

"But Wang Xiu is not good at this point. He is so superstitious. Why should I name it myself and suppress Nanzhao with dragon energy? Isn't this nonsense?"

The corners of the ministers' mouths twitched. When your majesty said this, can you put away that bright smile? You are not to blame, you are obviously very happy.

Ma Zhou, who was in the crowd, had a clever mind, and he could tell at a glance that the emperor's refusal was just a superficial refusal, and he probably had an idea in his heart.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help standing up, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I would rather believe it or not. If the Emperor is not a dragon, how can he achieve what he is today, and he will be the Son of Heaven."

"In my opinion, since this place is used by Wang Xiu as a base to attack Nanzhao, the emperor might as well name it Zhennan or Nanzhen, and completely suppress it!"

As soon as this remark came out, many courtiers changed their colors one after another, sighing secretly that Ma Zhou is not a coward, and he dared to mention the matter of the emperor's seizure of the throne, it is simply audacious.

Li Shimin also frowned slightly when he heard the words, but Ma Zhou's last real son made him feel much better.

That's right, if I, Li Shimin, were not the right man, how could I be able to join hands with the crown prince and King Qi.

This is the Son of Destiny, the God-destined Lord of the Tang Dynasty.

No problem!

As for Zhennan or Nanzhen, he didn't make a decision for a while, he looked at Fang Xuanling at the side, and said with a smile: "Fang Aiqing, what do you think it's called?"

"Your Majesty, if you have to choose from these two names, then Zhennan, Nanzhen is really petty." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

He has been by Li Shimin's side for so many years, so he naturally knows what the emperor is thinking. This kid Ma Zhou has figured out the emperor's context, but this Zhennan has caught Li Shimin's point just right.

As for Nanzhen, I'm afraid it's just making up the numbers.

"Haha, that makes sense."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, and said sternly: "Wang Xiu has opened up the territory of the Tang Dynasty in this battle. We must reward him. Let's change the name of the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion to the Zhennan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Temporarily manage the southwest region and be responsible for matters related to Nanzhao."

Everyone couldn't help their hearts skipping a beat when they heard this. Although it looked like he was still the governor, Wang Xiu's authority had increased again, because he was in charge of Nanzhao affairs, which meant that he could make decisions on his own in many cases.

Changsun Wuji's heart moved, he glanced at a censor next to him, and winked secretly.

The latter gritted his teeth, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Wang Xiu holds the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion in his hand, and with a [-] army under him, he still made so many bows and crossbows privately, which is really beyond the control."

This sentence directly calmed down the originally excited court.

Li Shimin's face is not good-looking anymore. Wang Xiu has just made great achievements, and you have done such a thing. It is a bit too much. If this is spread, people in the world will not say that I, Li Shimin, look ugly.

He sneered and said, "When Jiaozhou was so poor, none of you would go there if you were asked to go there? In the end, Wang Xiu took over from his father and almost died because of it. Why didn't you mention the violation?"

The censor was stared at by Li Shimin's dead eyes, and his scalp felt numb, but he couldn't betray Zhangsun Wuji, so he had to bite the bullet and bear it.

"The emperor forgives the crime, but the minister is just discussing the matter."

"Humph!"

Li Shimin glanced at him, and said with a sneer: "Don't you want to know how these crossbows came from? Here is an apology letter from Wang Xiu. For these strong crossbows, he recruited [-] laborers to help them. Jiaozhou's foundation is not enough at all."

Changsun Wuji was startled, this kid was so cunning, he was so impeccable.

With the news of such a great victory, even if there is a little flaw, the emperor will not punish him, what a cunning guy.

Yuchi Jingde was also upset. When he was most annoyed by war, these civil servants who didn't understand anything would chatter and drag their feet, which was really useless in fighting.

"Hmph, what's the point of dispatching a little labor in an emergency? It's not a problem at all. If the imperial reinforcements arrive, Jiaozhou may be bleeding like a river."

Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, as Yuchi Aiqing said, this is a critical moment, Wang Xiu is naturally innocent, but you are the one who slandered the hero and demoted him to a commoner!"

In a word, it directly turned a censor into a commoner, and everyone's expressions changed slightly.

He secretly sighed that Wang Xiu was such a great holy family, that a censor was exempted just because of one sentence, which is too exaggerated.

Only Li Jing is open-minded, this battle is of far-reaching significance!

In the southwestern region, these countries have always lacked awe of Datang, because Datang is too far away from them. These countries seem to be respectful, but in fact they don't take Datang seriously at all.

Although the emperor didn't say anything about it, his dissatisfaction can be seen by repeatedly ordering the Yizhou Governor's Mansion to attack the barbarians.

But it's different now. After Wang Xiu's battle, these countries may be as frightened as birds.

Respect Datang, be like a god!

Chapter 50 Profit at Sea

The barbarians can be said to be the shit-stirring sticks there, and everyone is afraid of them.

Other countries are naturally afraid of them doing things, but now even he can't withstand the blow of Datang's weakest state capital, so it's no wonder other countries are not afraid of Datang.

Because of this, Li Shimin rewarded Wang Xiu heavily, because this battle was worth it.

Li Shimin glanced at everyone and said excitedly: "In the southwestern part of the empire, due to the geographical advantage, these barbarians cannot be cleared. Recently, they have become more and more arrogant. After this battle, they should know how to choose."

This battle also played out the style of Datang, and deterred the arrogance of the enemy, which is definitely of far-reaching significance.

It can be said that its significance far exceeds the killing of those 3 people.

His deterrent power is absolutely sufficient.

To be honest, the victory in this battle was definitely a big surprise for Li Shimin. Originally, he was prepared to bear the result of the short-term fall of Jiaozhou, but he never expected that not only won, but also a big victory.

This is interesting, Jiaozhou, which had been dragging its feet, suddenly erupted with such terrifying power, which is definitely beneficial to Datang.

Perhaps with the help of the power of Jiaozhou and Yizhou, Nanzhao can be defeated in one fell swoop, and then Tubo can be blocked.

It's definitely a bargain.

Once the Zhennan Governor's Mansion is established, I'm afraid these people will be even more afraid.

At this time, Tang Jian on the side suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "No wonder several Baiyue tribes came to show their allegiance. At that time, I still felt strange. It turned out that Wang Xiu did a big thing."

In the past two days, many Baiyue survivors came to Chang'an one after another to express their recognition and allegiance to Datang.

At first, he thought it was because of the great Tang Dynasty's reputation that they wanted to join them, but now it seems that it was Wang Xiu's battle that frightened them.

"Haha, this kid Wang Xiu is a lucky general. He said he gave me two big gifts, but the things are a bit big, so it may be slow. This kid likes to engage in these mysteries."

Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, young man!" Fang Xuanling couldn't help laughing.

Li Shimin waved his hand and directly ordered to retreat, but he brought a few of his confidants into the imperial garden and started a private chat.

"The emperor left us, but there is something else?" Fang Xuanling asked proactively.

Li Shimin nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the King of Hejian County sent a letter asking about their next plan."

"What are you asking, keep fighting!" Yuchi Jingde couldn't help interjecting.

Li Shimin shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "This time Wang Xiu's army did attack Zhennan, but he has decided not to continue attacking for the time being, and chose to stick to Zhennan."

"Stick to Zhennan?"

Li Jing on one side frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This battle is indeed almost over. If the fight continues, Shelong might mobilize the main force to attack Jiaozhou. That's not a good thing, but can they hold it?"

"It's not for this reason, it's because the rice in Jiaozhou will be harvested by the end of this month, so Wang Xiu gave up and continued to attack." Li Shimin sighed.

He also wanted Wang Xiu to fight all the way in, but he also knew it was impossible, after all, the troops were still too small.

But at the same time, he is also very excited, because once the high rice yield is determined, it will be a great thing, and it is not bad at all compared to the extermination of Nanzhao.

This means that from now on, Datang will no longer be short of food.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but excitedly said: "It's going to be harvested so soon, no wonder Wang Xiu dared to say that Pyu country has three crops a year, it seems that Jiaozhou also has the opportunity to achieve three crops a year."

"Your Majesty deserves to be the Son of Heaven. This high-yield rice will automatically go to Datang after the Emperor ascends the throne."

A voice suddenly sounded, and everyone couldn't help but stare blankly.

It turned out to be Yuchi Jingde, this guy actually memorized Ma Zhou's flattering words, and he followed him in a blink of an eye.

"Jingde, you have made progress, you know how to say good things." Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

The member of Yuchi's family glanced at his mouth, and said quietly: "It's useless to be able to talk, this promotion is not as fast as Wang Xiu's. If the rice production this time is true, this kid will be promoted again."

Hey, this guy got promoted too fast.

……

Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion.

Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin have been staying here for several days, they have no intention of leaving at all, they are obviously waiting for Li Shimin's order.

Li Xiaogong is a little better, he has the majesty of a county king, Cheng Yaojin is a bit shameless, he comes with all kinds of opinions, he doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

"You kid is not real. You have a lot of good things in Jiaozhou. Quickly bring some of your carrots. I really like the taste. I was not used to the taste at first, but the more I eat it, the more I like it."

Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

Wang Xiu laughed, let Xiaojiu go down to make arrangements, and explained: "Excuse me, Mr. Su, logically this thing can be managed enough, but the overseas businessman is really a profiteer, and I can't afford the price. "

"If the emperor didn't reward me with some money this time, I wouldn't be able to buy these things."

Hearing that Wang Xiu took the initiative to advance the mysterious businessman, Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up, and he asked: "Wang Xiu, what is the origin of this mysterious businessman, and how can he have so many resources?"

Whether it is high-yield rice, sweet potatoes, or potatoes, if they all have the output mentioned in Wang Xiu's memorial, the power in the hands of this mysterious businessman cannot be underestimated.

Wang Xiu couldn't help smiling wryly when he heard the words: "I don't know about this, but this person should have fled overseas during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It shouldn't be because he came back recently because he knew the prestige of the Tang Dynasty."

Northern and Southern Dynasties!

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong immediately understood. At that time, there were a lot of people running away.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but muttered: "This guy seems to have a lot of background, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get so many supplies, let alone cross the ocean. This is not something ordinary people can do."

"Wang Xiu, I heard that you have reached a cooperation with that overseas businessman to trade silk and sugar with him and sell them overseas?"

"good."

Wang Xiu nodded without hiding anything, and said in a deep voice: "It is said that the best porcelain and jade are extremely expensive, and they are worth a lot!"

Priceless?

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help swallowing, this is too valuable, it's priceless, it's simply too amazing.

"really?"

"How dare Wang Xiu lie to you two? If it wasn't for huge profits, how could these people risk being attacked by pirates and overturned by stormy waves to come to Datang? It's not because of profit."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yaojin's eyes glowed like light bulbs.

Chapter 51 My Nephew, Long Time No See

Li Xiaogong glanced at Wang Xiu indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "The Hexi Corridor in the Western Regions is the Silk Road, and the profits here don't seem to be so exaggerated, do they?"

He is not so easy to fool, the Tang Dynasty also dabbled in the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and the profits were not as rich as Wang Xiu said.
