readx;?“ Cheng Qian, when you do things and talk in the future, you have to think about it before you talk about it, don't talk anymore but don't think about it. "www.biquge.info Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian finally understood, so he said to Li Chengqian.

"It's too simple for Erchen to think, thank Father for his teachings." Li Chengqian bowed and said.

Li Shimin nodded, looked at Xia Hongsheng again, and asked: "Fang Caixian's son-in-law said that if the Tang Dynasty sends troops, there is also a way to solve the problem of the long distance between the Tang Dynasty and Persia. But I don't know how? Between the Tang Dynasty and Persia, I am afraid that it will not be less than 10,000 miles. Can a virtuous son-in-law still move his land into an inch? ”

Xia Hongsheng grinned and said, "Moving land into inches, thousands of miles in an instant, the son-in-law doesn't have such ability." However, the son-in-law can look at the problem from different aspects. There is a word called mindset, the so-called mindset, is a relatively stable and stereotyped thinking line, way, procedure, and pattern formed in repeated use in accordance with the accumulated experience of thinking activities and the existing thinking rules. As a result, people tend to think about problems in their original, fixed ways. For example, this expedition to Persia, including your father-in-law, also took into account that the Tang Dynasty and Persia are thousands of miles away, and the soldiers go all the way to the west, and the logistics of grain and grass supply are very difficult. This is because, since ancient times, conquests have been fought on land and on rivers, and your ideas have been limited to this. But father-in-law, you think, now from the Tang Dynasty to Persia, there is not only this way! ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, suddenly slapped his thigh, and said, "Sea Road!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty is really quick thinking. The son-in-law's method is the sea route. From the road, even if it is a business trip, it will take at least half a year to reach Persia at the earliest. However, the time required for maritime merchants to arrive in Persia from Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Jiaozhou was reduced by two or three percent compared with that by land. Not to mention the improved new seagoing vessels and new seafaring techniques? Moreover, the sea ships carried a large amount of cargo, so there was only one ironclad fleet, and he made 1,2800 ironclad ships form a fleet, carrying troops and supplies, and went to Persia from the maritime road. On the way to Persia, there were seaports of call everywhere. There are too many ironclad ships in Datang, which is inconvenient to dock. That's not impossible. The Datang ironclad ship is advanced, safe, and powerful. It is completely possible to organize maritime merchants to facilitate the Tang army. What are you most afraid of when you go to sea? In addition to natural disasters such as storms and thunderstorms, they are pirates. And if there is a Datang ironclad fleet with it, which pirates dare to come to disturb it? Therefore, the Tang army can go to sea together with maritime merchants. The army provided protection for the maritime merchants, who in turn provided food to the Tang army, or helped the Tang naval division buy grain and fresh water in the coastal ports as a supplement. In this way, although the Tang Dynasty is far away from Persia, it is not impossible to go. ”

"Not bad! I remembered that my son-in-law had told me about it when he presented the map. Li Shimin rubbed his hands very excitedly and said: "There is a big bay in the land of Persia, called the Persian Gulf. There are a lot of oil and mineral deposits under the sea and in the surrounding underground, and it is very suitable as a military port. If our Tang fleet enters this bay, the shore will be Dashi and Persia, and this bay will imitate Ryukyu to build a military port, whether it is to deal with Dashi or Persia, it will be extremely advantageous. Hehe, combined with Wang Qing's strategy, that enclave can be completely on the coast of the Persian Gulf, and the Tang army can land from here, thinking that the Tang Dynasty is the foundation of the Persian land! ”

"Exactly! The son-in-law was about to propose to his father-in-law that if he asked Persia for an enclave, he should have a suitable landing place on the shore of this bay! Xia Hongsheng was also very happy to see that Li Shimin thought of it with him so quickly.

"Hahahaha......" Li Shimin laughed: "Although the Great Food Cavalry is not weak, can his sailor be as powerful as my Tang Dynasty's ironclad ship?" I can send the Tang Dynasty sailors, collect the armor, hide the soldiers, carry the goods, and visit along the way with the national letter for the reason of trade and maritime commerce. Which of the countries does not know the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and they must be happy to be able to trade with the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the fleet pretended to be an official and businessman of the Tang Dynasty all the way, which could not only show the wealth and strength of the Tang Dynasty, but also spread the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. When he arrived in Persia, he unloaded the goods and showed his troops, which was actually the Tang Dynasty sailor. ”

When Xia Hongsheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that he was worthy of being Li Laoer, this method was even better than his method, more reasonable, and more numerous.

This is clearly the move of Ming Chengzu in later generations to order Zheng He to go to the West. It's just more sophisticated and meaningful than that.

On the surface, it was ordered to make an accident and develop maritime business.

From the perspective of the countries along the way, it is the Tang Dynasty that shows its wealth and strength, and thinks it is a deterrent.

Looking at the treatment of the Ming Dynasty's fleets in various countries along the way when Zheng He went to the West, we know that if the Tang Dynasty sailors pretended to go out like that, they would not be unable to buy food.

In fact, it turned out to be an expeditionary Tang army!

Tsk, if Zheng He's fleet to the West in later generations could actually be an expeditionary force, then history would be very different!

"Father-in-law is wise!" Xia Hongsheng said excitedly: "The father-in-law's method is better than the son-in-law's method!" If it is for this reason, the fleet that pretends to be an envoy of the Tang Dynasty and carries out trade is even more numerous in one fell swoop! First, it can encourage Datang maritime merchants and promote more prosperous maritime trade. Second, it can raise the courage of the Datang maritime merchants and deter pirates along the way. Third, we can develop diplomatic relations on the way, so that more countries can trade with Datang, so that our Datang can earn their money. Fourth, it can make the Tang Navy Division not worry about buying food supplies on the way, and docking along the coast. Fifth, it also concealed the news of the Tang Naval Division's dispatch of troops, which would not alert Dashi in advance and make it unprepared, and the Tang Naval Division would become a surprise attack. ”

Li Lao Er probably didn't expect this method to have such benefits, and when Xia Hongsheng said this, his face was flushed with excitement, and he was even more proud, and his mouth was about to grin to the root of his ears. Looking at Li Chengqian's admiring look next to him, he smiled hahahaha and said, "Hehe, I'm just drawing inferences." It's still the way of the virtuous son-in-law that reminds me! However, it is extremely difficult for a virtuous son-in-law to think of such a method. I immediately won the world, and I have experienced countless battles, so I naturally think more fully than the virtuous son-in-law, after all, the virtuous son-in-law is still young! ”

Hearing Li Shimin so embarrassed, Xia Hongsheng immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to pat himself on the back, so he also made a look of worship like Li Chengqian, and said to Li Shimin with admiration: "Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy!" My father-in-law is really worthy of being a wise saint, and he is worthy of being the most powerful general in Datang! The son-in-law racked his brains to come up with such a solution, but the father-in-law thought of it to the point of perfection in a moment! The son-in-law really can't hide the excitement in his heart, and the father-in-law asks the son-in-law to bow down! ”

"Hahahaha......" Li Shimin's smug and happy laughter spread throughout the East Palace Hall. (To be continued.) )
