"Liaodong, there is such a big borderless land behind it. www.biquge.info If those tribes are there, they will be a threat after all. Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, those tribes dare not disrespect the Tang Dynasty, let alone be enemies of the Tang Dynasty." But a hundred years from now, who can say clearly? Once the Tang Dynasty is not as good as it is today, it has no control over Liaodong. These tribes are bound to grow stronger by relying on Liaodong. At that time, if the troops are led south and approached the Central Plains, the foundation will not be guaranteed. I am determined to move all these tribes to the west, taking advantage of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, so that they will abandon the east and focus on moving westward, far away from the Central Plains. Ruo Datang ...... Even the lord of the Central Plains, when there is a real decline in the future, should not be attacked by the enemy on his back, but focus on the Western Front. The land of the Western Regions is barren and cannot be developed. The place that can be developed is far away from the Western Regions from Datang, and even if it is really stronger than Datang, it will not directly threaten the hinterland of the Central Plains. Liaodong, Mobei, and the Western Regions border the Tang Dynasty, and they must not leave a disaster. Sooner or later, the tribes around the Tang Dynasty will be driven away and driven to the land of the Western Regions, so that the Guannai does not have to suffer from the enemy. ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned by Li Shimin's words.

But I heard Li Shimin say again: "I just said that it is easy to go north in the south, and it is easy to move west in the east." Therefore, I want to take advantage of the fact that Datang now has this ability, whether it is coercion or temptation, I want to let there be no more foreign tribes in the north, and let the tribes in the west be far enough away from Datang. ”

When Xia Hongsheng heard this, he already understood Li Shimin's intentions.

I can't help but sigh in my heart that he is worthy of being a generation of heroes, give him a higher step, and his vision can be broadened to such a point.

The long-term thinking and the scale of the pattern are unprecedented.

It is also because he and the current Datang have reached an unprecedented height.

With Xia Hongsheng's posterity, the world looks back on the original historical line, has such a thing happened rarely?

The peoples of the north invaded in the south, and the tribes in the west invaded in the east. Khitan, Jurchen, Tatar, and Mongol in the north...... Tibet and Dangxiang in the west...... These are all things that happened in the original history.

First there was Liao bullying the Northern Song Dynasty, then there was Jin humiliating the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols destroyed the Song Liyuan, and the Han people were enslaved, and the Jurchens overthrew the Ming and Qing dynasties, destroying the traditions of the Han people. Aren't they all the tribes in the north? If it weren't for the fact that the Turks and other tribes had been forced to move westward in the Tang Dynasty, far from the east and go to Central Asia to compete with Europe, then I am afraid that the west would be more threatening.

And Li Shimin can already see such a possibility now!

It's just that Li Shimin's idea wants to be realized, and the difficulty is so high and the difficulty is so great, but it is also unimaginable.

As if seeing Xia Hongsheng's thoughts, Li Shimin said again: "I know that this move is difficult, and it is difficult to ascend to the sky. But I believe it works. Even if Datang does not rely on the army now, it only relies on the economy, which is enough to prompt the tribes in the west to do business further west, not to mention that Datang still has a strong army. I will give them heavy profits and lure them further west. will also use various means to squeeze their current living space, so that they have to go further west. It's going to be a long process, but it's not necessarily going to be impossible. In the future, no matter how much land Datang owns, Guannai will always be the foundation, and I will never allow there to be moths here. ”

This process is not only long-term, it is simply a 100-year plan. Xia Hongsheng sighed secretly in his heart, although the Tang Dynasty in history, whether it was intentional or due to natural selection, the Turkic and other tribes in the west were indeed forced to move further west and go to Central Asia to be powerful. But even if Li Shimin's goal is realized, there are no more foreigners around Datang, but it is ......

Xia Hongsheng sighed and said, "Father-in-law, the reason why many giant trees outside end up being scattered with a few pieces of dead wood is most of the time not because of the impact of insects and beasts outside, but because of the bite of moths inside!" ”

As soon as Xia Hongsheng said this, Liu Renliang, who was standing next to him, immediately changed his face, and quickly opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. Looking at Li Shimin again, he was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his face quickly became gloomy.

But Xia Hongsheng gritted his teeth and continued: "Father-in-law, the little son-in-law has the courage to say one more word. If it is still strong after thousands of blows, what about Ren'er's east, west, north and south winds? The artemisia reeds are upright, but the outside is crisp and hollow, and there is no wind to fold! ”

"Thousands of blows are still strong, let the wind ...... east, west, north and south" Li Shimin opened his mouth slightly, muttering and repeating: "Artemisia reeds are upright, crisp and hollow on the outside, and they fold without wind!" ”

Repeating and repeating, a look of confusion gradually rose in Li Shimin's eyes.

After a long time, I saw Li Shimin raise his hand and wave, sighed, and said, "You go down first!" I'm going to have to think about something. ”

Xia Hongsheng and Liu Renliang glanced at each other, then saluted together and withdrew.

The two of them went out of the palace together, and when they arrived outside the palace, far away from the Vermilion Bird Gate, Liu Renliang immediately crossed his face and said with a wry smile: "Young Master Xia, you really scared the lower officials!" ”

"Brother Zhengze, what do you think of His Majesty's method?" Xia Hongsheng turned his head and asked.

"This ......" Liu Renliang looked left and right, and saw that there was no one, so he said: "Your Majesty's method is not a one-and-done method." It's a bit tricky to operate, but it's not impossible. If we can really drive all the tribes around Datang to the west and go to calamity and Persia, we will have the time and a stable environment to further develop and strengthen ourselves wholeheartedly. It's just ......"

"Just what?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

"Born in sorrow, die in peace." Liu Renliang shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty at the moment is a rare Ming monarch, and most of the courtiers at present are the founding of the country, and they are all killed from the chaos of the war, and they will ...... in the future."

Liu Renliang stopped talking and didn't say any more.

But having said that, Xia Hongsheng already knew Liu Renliang's thoughts, which were similar to his own thoughts.

Internal factors play a decisive role, even if Li Shimin drives away all the external threats from Datang, if Datang is in chaos, it will be in vain.

There is a deeper layer -- the current emperor has experienced troubled times, and has gone through countless hardships and hardships from the troubled times, and he knows that the world is not easy to gain, so he will cherish it even more. But what about the future emperor? Can they do what Li Shimin did? Can they restrain themselves in the same way that Li Shimin restrains himself?

If not, this is the biggest moth!

And the fact is that in the original history, even if Li Shimin personally wrote "Emperor Fan" to instruct his descendants on how to be a qualified emperor, didn't he fail to achieve the goal that Li Shimin expected?
