Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The Right Prime Minister of the Queen's Kingdom thought of all the situations in which he met General Datang, but he never thought that he was captured, because when he was going to the port city, he did not wait for him to arrive, and when he was more than 100 miles away from the city, he met Datang's army head-on.

The thousand soldiers who escorted him, together with himself, were directly captured by the other party. Leaving aside the question of the strength of the troops, it was said that he had come to find the other party, so naturally he did not resist.

But seeing this scene, Prime Minister Right felt very depressed, because he knew that Datang's determination was greater than what they imagined!

If it was just to get some benefits, the other party should have waited for the port after releasing the "messenger", waiting for their envoy to come to the door, but now, the other party directly started to advance, advancing towards the direction of Queen's City.

This means that the other party doesn't care about the outcome of the negotiation at all, or in other words, from the perspective of the other party, there is only one outcome of the negotiation.

"I have seen His Excellency the Prince of the County." You Xiang saluted Li Xiaogong who was in front of him.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency the Right Prime Minister has brought your Queen's edict of surrender?" Li Xiaogong asked calmly.

One sentence from Li Xiaogong made Prime Minister Right a little bit overwhelmed. From this sentence, he knew that the other party did not give a second choice at all.

"Could it be that Datang really wants to fight to the death with my Queen Kingdom? Is Datang so confident?" Prime Minister Right looked up at Li Xiaogong and said.

"It's not that there is confidence, but that the Queen's Kingdom has no chance of winning." Li Xiaogong shook his head and said, "From the moment His Royal Highness King Qin gave the order, the Queen's Kingdom has only two outcomes, surrender or be destroyed."

Right Phase: "..."

Is this called two results?What is the difference between surrender and extermination?

Is it nothing more than destroying the country and being more heroic?

"If all the people in our Queen's Kingdom are united, even if we can't beat Datang, we still have to take a bite out of Datang's body." Prime Minister Right said indignantly, since the other party had no intention of peace talks at all, then he naturally didn't have to have such a good attitude.

"Do you believe it yourself? If the queen's country is united, it will indeed make Datang pay some price, but the price is not serious, but it is a pity, can you be united? So far, my army has advanced more than 100 miles and encountered three cities, but it seems that the other party has no idea of ​​​​resistance." Li Xiaogong looked at him lightly and said.

Right Phase: "..."

Yes, being united as one is certainly a powerful force, but the question is, can Queen Kingdom be united as one?cannot.

Even when he set off, there was no one mind in the court, and the local nobles in these cities saw it very clearly, knowing that they could not be defeated, and if they could not be defeated, they would surrender.

The big deal is the same as Lin Yiguo.

In recent years, the Queen's Kingdom has stepped up trade with Zhenwa, and at the same time, the north of the Queen's Kingdom is directly bordered by Linyi Kingdom, so the incident of Linyi Kingdom's extermination of the country has long been rumored in the Queen's Kingdom.

It can be said that everyone in the Queen's Kingdom knew about this matter, and many people even used it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Because it is already the land of the Tang Dynasty, and after becoming the land of the Tang Dynasty, the people there do not have to pay taxes.

Not only do you not have to pay taxes, but you will also be given subsidies. Such benefits make the eyes of the people in the Queen's Kingdom red. Do you really think that these people are unwilling to farm?Not really.

It's because the taxation of their Queen's Kingdom is too heavy. If you plant more fields, you will harvest more. You can't collect much more in a year. If this is the case, it's better to just plant some fields that you can eat.

Anyway, there are three crops a year, no one will die from starvation, and whoever wants to plant more will grow.

But in Datang, there is no tax, and the price of grain is still guaranteed. If these grains are sold to the government of Datang, the people will have a lot of surplus money, so that they can buy cloth, salt, and better meals.

No one wants to live better, it's just that they have no choice.

The right minister also knows that in many places, in order to avoid paying taxes, the entire village, in addition to reclaiming some fields, has more open fields without plowing or weeding. When sowing, some rice seeds are directly sprinkled into it.

Even if the people above checked it out, you would never be able to call these fields, which are no different from wild wasteland, other people's fields, because the fields have not been cultivated for many years, and the rice inside grows like weeds.

If you ask, no one will admit it, but if no one checks, the village will take away all the rice.

You can't collect some "wild" rice from the common people, and you also collect taxes, right?

Therefore, the people of Queen's Kingdom don't have much "willingness to fight" at all. Many people even think that their ancestors escaped from the Central Plains Dynasty. Their ancestors were all from the Central Plains Dynasty.

Under such a premise, do you have a heart-to-heart talk with Datang?

"Is there no choice?" Prime Minister Right wanted to say something, but he thought about it a lot, and in the end... only this sentence came out.

He thought about all the other questions, all the words, but he had nothing to say.

They are not like those northern nomads who have land to retreat, and they do not have a vast space for strategic detours. Although there are deep mountains and old forests that can be drilled into, but may the people be willing to follow them into the deep mountains and old forests?

What's more, the deep mountains and old forests can't support so many people.

And the right minister also knows that the determination of the people to resist foreign enemies comes from the harm they have done to them, making them unable to survive.

But Datang did not kill people indiscriminately, and did not rob the Queen's people of their property, nor did they rob food. After trading with Zhenwa for so long, although there was no direct grain trade with Datang, they knew how much food Datang had.

How much food can Datang's sea-going ships pull? They don't lack these at all.

Similarly, they have also been in contact with the Nanyang Navy of the Great Tang, and they know how strict the discipline of those navies is, so...the right minister does not know how many people are willing to fight against the Great Tang with them under such circumstances.

Or to put it another way, do these nobles and kings really have that much influence in the hearts of the common people?

The Right Prime Minister even felt that these nobles might not be as influential as the King Qin of the Tang Dynasty among their people. At least there were many legends about the King Qin of the Tang Dynasty among the people.

It is precisely because of this that Datang's fleet never gets lost on the sea, and they can accurately know their direction even at night.
