Forced to start the game, summon a hundred thousand snow dragon riders

"A single spark can start a prairie fire, and all the nine countries in the Western Regions will rise up to resist, and the rebel army will be no less than one hundred thousand!"

"At that time, His Majesty will send the Tang army into the Western Regions, and they will be able to retake the Western Regions without any effort!"

Li Xiu nodded.

But my heart is like a mirror.

Everything that Ge Shujie said now is all bragging.

This kid doesn't even have a single soldier now, and the only thing he can rely on is the title of Crown Prince of Shi Kingdom.

Wanting to be an empty-handed white wolf, he took reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty and entered the Western Regions.

Let Datang and Dashi fight recklessly, and the nine countries in the Western Regions will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The idea is beautiful.

It's a pity that Li Xiu is not a fool.

However, this matter was in Li Xiu's hands.

He was worried that he would have no excuse to get involved in the Western Regions and attack the Dashi. Now, didn't the opportunity be sent to him?

"Ge Shujie, I named you the Duke of Anxi County, return to the Western Regions immediately, and instigate an uprising against Dashi in the nine countries of the Western Regions."

Li Xiu looked at Ge Shujie in front of him, "I will immediately issue an order to transfer our elite army from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions!"

Transfer the elite army of the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions?

Big Food King, you are in big trouble!

Ge Shujie's face was full of ecstasy.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"I'm going back to the Western Regions to plan an uprising!"

Ge Shujie got the promise from Li Xiu, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and immediately withdrew happily.

There are a million troops of the Tang army to give him the bottom line.

Even if the enemy is the powerful Dashi Empire, at this moment, Ge Shujie is not afraid anymore!

……

The next day.

Golden Palace.

above the hall.

After the opening of the dynasty, Wang Xiu, the head of the household department, came out, bowed his hands to Li Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, I have issued the Heavenly Emperor Tongbao nationwide to replace all old coins according to your instructions."

"Today, the recycling of old coins has basically ended."

"Tiandi Tongbao has become the only official currency in circulation in my Tang Dynasty."

"It's just that, apart from the Heavenly Emperor Tongbao, there is still a large amount of gold and silver in circulation among the people, which has caused a lot of interference to the circulation of the Heavenly Emperor Tongbao."

"I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to prohibit the circulation of gold and silver among the people, and all transactions can only be settled with the Heavenly Emperor Tongbao."

Li Xiu nodded, "Quite."

"Wang Xiu, I plan to set up the Datang Bank outside of the household department. You will be the president, and you will be in charge of the issuance of the Heavenly Emperor Tongbao, control the wealth of the world, and establish my Datang's financial system."

When Wang Xiu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Sir, obey the order!"

This Datang Bank sounds like a yamen in charge of printing money, with little power.

But Wang Xiu is very clear.

Issuing currency, just this one, is extremely knowledgeable.

No more, no less.

Not to mention the establishment of Datang's financial system.

Here, there is an extremely huge workload.

If His Majesty hadn't popularized the definition of finance with him, he would have no idea that finance is so important.

The future prosperity of the Tang Dynasty cannot be separated from this thing.

All the officials in the court looked at each other in blank dismay.

This Datang Bank, like the Academy of Sciences, is a brand new institution!

But they have long been used to it.

This is not once or twice.

It's just that they are really curious, how many strange things are there in His Majesty's mind?

After appointing Wang Xiu.

Li Xiu glanced at all civil and military officials, and said, "Yesterday, I summoned the Crown Prince of Shi Kingdom in the Western Regions, Ge Shujie."

"From the population, I learned that the nine countries in the Western Regions are about to raise troops against Dashi."

"This is a great opportunity for my Tang Dynasty to return to the Western Regions."

"I have appointed Ge Shujie as the Duke of Anxi County, and promised Ge Shujie that he will send an army into the Western Regions and bring the land of the Western Regions under my control!"

When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all looked at Li Xiu in shock.

Return to the Western Regions and attack Dashi?

This is no joke!

The Dashi Empire is a giant to the west of their Great Tang. Although they don't know much about it, what they do know is that this Dashi is a huge country that can compete with their Great Tang for supremacy!

During Xuanzong's time, the Anxi Army led by Gao Xianzhi was defeated by Dashi, and was forced to withdraw from the Western Regions.

Later, Gao Xianzhi was gifted to death by Xuanzong, so naturally he had no chance to find Dashi to avenge his shame.

Regarding Dashi, many courtiers were still a little apprehensive.

It is said that in this country, the state and religion are united, the army and the people are one, and the soldiers are brave and fearless for their beliefs. If you fight against such an empire, the outcome is uncertain.

"Your Majesty, the people in the Western Regions are capricious. The prince of the Shi Kingdom just wants to use the power of my Great Tang to restore the country. You can't believe everything he says."

Among the ministers, the Minister of Rites came out first and began to persuade him.

Hubu Shangshu also nodded in agreement, "The Western Regions are too far away from my Great Tang Chang'an. If you want to enter the Western Regions, you will have to work hard. If the army goes to the Western Regions to fight, I am afraid that the food and logistics will not be able to keep up."

"The Great Food Empire is dominating the west and has great strength. I also think that we should first understand the current situation of the Great Food Empire and know ourselves and the enemy before we can grasp the chances of winning."

Even the Minister of the Ministry of War, who has always been in charge of the war, advised Li Xiu to think twice.

Chapter 143 The tenth sign-in, 20 big Han cavalry

"I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more."

However, Li Xiu waved his hand, as if he hadn't heard the advice from the officials at all, "If you have any difficulties, let me overcome them."

"I am not discussing with you, but informing you of the result."

Hearing what Li Xiu said.

All civil and military officials were dumbfounded.

They know that once His Majesty decides something, there is absolutely no possibility of changing it.

"Shangshu Hubu, I give you seven days to prepare the food and grass needed for an army of 20 to go to the Western Regions to prepare for the army's expedition to the Western Regions."

Li Xiu looked at the Minister of the Household Department.

"The minister leads the order!"

Tobu Shangshu looked awe-inspiring.

The food and grass needed for a 20 army expedition to the Western Regions will be a terrifying amount.

If it weren't for the fact that the Tang Dynasty is now in a prosperous age, and the country is rich and the people are strong, I'm afraid it might not be possible to get it together.

However, since His Majesty has decided to fight!

Then he, Minister of the Household Department, must fully support His Majesty's decision even if he is trying to sell the iron!

……

Harem.

Changle Palace.

Li Xiu came to Changle Palace to visit the pregnant Concubine Luo Xian.

After all, this is the first concubine to conceive for herself.

And after what happened to Taoist Yuheng.

Luo Qingcheng also completely opened up her knot in Li Xiu's heart.

"The ministers and concubines have already heard about the affairs of the court."

Luo Qingcheng looked at Li Xiu who was on the side, "I heard that Your Majesty plans to send troops to the Western Regions?"

"good."

Li Xiu nodded, "I'm still thinking about who to send to lead the army."

Luo Qingcheng said without hesitation: "The Western Regions are far away, so the cavalry should be the vanguard of the Western Expedition."

"After gaining a foothold in the Western Regions, we will enter the Western Regions with a large army."

"Now, my Tang army's 20 tigers and leopards are far away in Koryo and Dongying, and they are transferred back in a short period of time, which is a waste of money and food."

"According to my concubine, it is most appropriate to send Xiang Yu and his [-] Snow Dragon Riders as the vanguard of the Western Expedition."

When Li Xiu heard this, her eyes lit up slightly.

"I didn't expect Concubine Luo Xian to have such insights."

"Sure enough, it's been three days since Shibai, you should look at it with admiration."

Luo Qingcheng was able to give him advice on military affairs, even Li Xiu hadn't expected it.

"As His Majesty's concubine, the concubine is supposed to solve His Majesty's worries and problems."

Luo Qingcheng smiled lightly.

Ever since she decided to become Li Xiu's good wife.

Then he began to understand the state affairs of Datang.

The purpose is to give Li Xiu some ideas and share some of the burden when Li Xiu is troubled.

"Xiang Yu is indeed the best candidate."

Li Xiu nodded.

However, Li Xiu's idea was to send two armies into the Western Regions to support each other.

Rather than alone all the way.

Xiang Yu counted all the way.

There is still a way, if it doesn't work, I can only rush Bai Qi and the tiger and leopard to ride back.

Just when Li Xiu was pondering in her heart.

【Ding! 】

Suddenly, a crisp system prompt sounded.

[Prompt that the host has obtained the opportunity to sign in this month, do you want to sign in immediately? 】

"Sign in now!"

Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile appeared on his face.

At critical moments, the system is still reliable.
