Tang Dynasty: Tubo signed for ten years and returned with millions of troops

That's true, that's one thing. Qin Mu slowly turned his head and said with a smile: "The northern border has been destroyed by the Turks too much, and it is very difficult to recover in a short period of time. Because of this, it is necessary to rely on the help of external forces. "

"Help from outside? What does that mean?"

Li Xueyan asked curiously.

Wu Meiniang's ears also pricked up.

She didn't know that Youzhou City and even the entire northern border were burned to the ground.

How difficult is it to regain prosperity in this ruin?

Wu Meiniang also racked her brains to find a way to help Qin Mu recover the northern border as soon as possible.

But no matter what you think, you don't think it's appropriate.

For example, people who have moved in from Yizhou or the Western Regions.

At first glance, it seems to be a viable approach, but it is very difficult to implement.

Migration in Yizhou is difficult.

After all, the vast majority of the people have settled there, and no one wants to leave their homes again.

When he migrated from Tubo to Yizhou, it was because Tubo Gao was not suitable for the survival of the people in the Central Plains.

If you migrate from Yizhou to Youzhou, not to mention the long journey, the resources consumed are countless.

That's the migration of tens of millions of people!

It can't be done in ten years!

The same is true for the Western Regions.

There are more than 30 million people there, and the environment is not particularly different from Youzhou, and the geographical location is on the same level.

Logically speaking.

Moving the population from the Western Regions to Youzhou will not be as difficult as Yizhou.

But the same!

The resources consumed were beyond the reach of Great Qin.

In addition to this method, Wu Meiniang has no better way.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.

Without population, how can we talk about the development of Youzhou?

But where does the population come from?

The external force that Qin Mu said gave her some inspiration, and she always felt that there was a glimmer of inspiration in her mind, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

"Yes! Since there is no way to make a better change in the population at the moment, then change in the economy and agriculture!"

Qin Mu nodded and said.

"Husband, do you mean to improve the living conditions in Youzhou and other places in terms of agriculture and economy?"

Wu Meiniang asked curiously.

But when I say agriculture and the economy, I don't stop there. Our Great Qin's strength has now reached a bottleneck, and the defense capability of any place cannot be moved. "

"In other words, in the recent period, Daqin has no way to send troops to fight again, but this also means that we can fight another kind of war. "

Qin Mu smiled meaningfully.

Another kind of war?

Eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xueyan, Wu Meiniang, Changle, you look at me, I look at you, and there are doubts in my eyes.

Some of them couldn't understand what Qin Mu was talking about.

"Economic warfare!"

"I've decided to fight an economic war!"

Qin Mu said his plan.

In all dynasties, war is not the only way to make yourself strong.

In addition to war, there are other things that can restrain others.

Economy is also one of the best ways!

As long as it has the most developed economy, it can let the gold, silver and jewelry of the surrounding countries flow into the country in a steady stream.

And so it goes.

Daqin's economy and national strength will take off better.

"Economic warfare?brother-in-law, is there such a war?"

Changle blinked curiously.

She thought it was funny.

The eldest grandson Wujian and the others also listened with great interest.

No one had ever heard of such a new concept.

In their eyes, Qin Mu always seemed to come up with something that people couldn't understand at all.

Although economic warfare is a battlefield without gunpowder, it is just as cruel. "

"If the economic war is lost, then it means that the country is weak and the people are poor. "

"And vice versa!"

"If the economic war is won, then it means that the power of other countries around it can be weakened. "

Qin Mu patiently explained.

"Mu'er, do you mean the Tang Dynasty by other countries?"

The eldest grandson couldn't help but ask.

Presently.

The main enemy of Great Qin is still the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Mu's target will naturally be Datang!

Can!

In the eyes of the eldest grandson, these things are really unnecessary.

Qin Mu was originally his own son, and sooner or later Datang would also be his world.

If this kind of internal friction continues, it will be the people of the two places who will suffer.

As the queen of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson is naturally not only the mother of Qin Mu alone, but also the mother of the people of the world.

She has the responsibility and obligation to care for those people, even if she is limited in her own abilities.

"Yes and no!" Qin Mu smiled and said, "For me, there is no big threat to Datang now. Fighting an economic war with them will be of little help to Great Qin, but you can also consider picking up their wool! In addition, the main goal of Great Qin's economic war is to be placed on several other empires, and that is the main battlefield!"

"Oh, I see! Brother-in-law, do you mean that you want to start a war with several other neighboring countries at the same time?"

Changle's eyes lit up instantly.

Hiss!

The eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xueyan and Wu Meiniang gasped at the same time.

Presently.

Great Qin's territory was unimaginably large.

To the east, it is close to Liaodong.

The so-called Liaodong is the place where Emperor Yang of Sui sent millions of troops to fight!

Originally.

Liaodong is the land of the Great Sui.

But with the defeat of the million-strong army, Liaodong was also taken away by Goguryeo.

Qin Mu always had an idea in his heart.

After the development of the northern border matured, he waved his army to the east and directly recaptured Liaodong from Goguryeo!

In addition to Liaodong in the east, the area bordered by Great Qin was also the Roman Empire in the west.

The Roman Empire was the main target of Great Qin's economic warfare!

Qin Mu also needs to think carefully about how to do it.

To the north are the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo.

After the defeat of the Eastern Turks, the two empires had been frightened by Qin Mu.

The strength of the Eastern Turks is as strong as the sum of the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo!

When they watched the Eastern Turks fall, they knew that their strength was far inferior to that of Great Qin, and they could only develop silently.

To the south of Great Qin is the border with Siam from the Ring Sun Dynasty!

These two places are a big piece of fat!

The Ring Sun Dynasty and Siam were located in a warm region, with a climate that was extremely suitable for reproduction, with a population of hundreds of millions!

With such a large population, Qin Mu was very greedy.

Although the people there are not ordinary people in the Central Plains, if they can be converted into labor to serve Daqin, it is also a good idea.

That's why.

The most important places in this economic war are these two places!

Only by converting all the populations of those two empires into the labor force of Great Qin, and all the benefits are continuously transported to Great Qin, this is the key to making Great Qin take off!

As for the Tang Dynasty, which was almost surrounded by the territory of Great Qin, Qin Mu had no idea for the time being.

After all!

The fear that Great Qin brought to the Tang Dynasty and the opposition still needs to be fermented.

Qin Mu was happy to see Li Er and those officials in the court panicking.

The more panicked, frightened, and desperate they became, the more comfortable Qin Mu felt in his heart.

Isn't this more fragrant than war?

Qin Mu just wanted to slowly torture Li Er and the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty!

As for the people of Datang, in the final analysis, they will all be their own people in the future.

It is impossible for Qin Mu to slaughter the people of the Han family, let alone weaken the national strength of Great Qin in the future.

That's why.

He targeted his revenge on Li Er and the nobles of Chang'an City.

There are many ways to retaliate.

War is not the only way!

Opposite!

The war would not have brought the slightest trouble to Li Er or those upper-class nobles in Chang'an City.

Anyway, it won't be them who will charge on the battlefield!

No matter how many people die, they are all the lowest people.

Unless the people are dead, it will be the turn of those upper nobles!

The so-called war is nothing more than a tool for killing.

No matter how many people die, Li Er and the upper nobles will not feel distressed.

From this point of view.

To wage war would distort the meaning of revenge.

Only those stupid pig-like people would feel that starting a war was the best revenge for the upper nobility.

Let the aristocratic class of the Tang Dynasty be tortured more, this is Qin Mu's biggest purpose.

And this goal and action have not affected the people of Datang from beginning to end.

"Husband, this is not a trivial matter, have you already thought about it?"

"Besides, what do we have to have the advantage of fighting an economic war?"

Li Xueyan asked softly.

She didn't know what economic warfare was, but the feeling in her heart told her that the cruelty of this war was no less than that of the battlefield.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about all of these things. "

Qin Mu smiled faintly.

......

Youzhou City, Main Street.

Li Er and Fang Xuanling appeared here in disguise, one leading a thin horse.

Looking at the earth-shaking changes around them, the two were surprised for a long time.

"Xuan Ling, is this still the Youzhou we used to come to?"

Li Er looked at the vision in front of him dumbfounded.

The exquisite attic, the neat streets, and the standardized and strict order make people look refreshing.

But the only downside is that there are too few people!

The streets are sparsely populated with pedestrians and some vendors, and they look a little depressed.

But there is one thing to say.

The extent of the expansion of Youzhou City is really too big, basically more than ten times larger than the original!

With this expansion, it is not surprising that pedestrians are sparse.

Everything in front of him made Li Er feel particularly unreal.

He thought that Youzhou City, which had suffered under the fires of war, would not be particularly good even if it was built by Qin Mu.

But I never expected it.

Qin Mu didn't want to repair Youzhou City at all, but directly demolished the city and rebuilt a Youzhou City!

Nima!

This loser is really a big deal!

"Gollum!"

"Master, I never dreamed that Youzhou would become like this. "

"And, sir, don't you feel it? There is an even more deadly danger in Youzhou City!"

Fang Xuanling swallowed and foamed, and his face became a little ugly.
