Li Shimin's sudden question made Xia Hongsheng stunned for a moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A person who can go through Goguryeo for the Tang Dynasty must be a person with real skills, he can not only be gentle, but also iron-blooded, not only understand the people's livelihood, but also observe the military, can catch the soft, can resist the hard, must have absolute loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and must change his mind and all means.

There are many such characters in the Tang Dynasty. But it is not a short-term thing to go through Liaodong, but a long-term process, and it is impossible to say that this stay has been here for decades. Those who have such skills in the court still have to be the backbone of the court to support the Tang Dynasty in all aspects, and it would be a pity if they were sent to Liaodong for decades.

And among the younger people, there are not many people who have such skills.

Ma Zhou has such skills, but he is already the person that the emperor will leave to Li Chengqian, and he will not be sent to Liaodong for so long.

Su Dingfang can also be qualified for this position, Xi Junmai, maybe he can. But if you teach these two people to stay in Liaodong for decades, I am afraid that Datang will have two fewer famous generals. It is better for them to stay in the army and go around for the Tang Dynasty to become the mainstay of the army.

As for the others, the young ones are too young to be so capable.

and Xia Hongsheng himself - ahh

At this time, Li Shimin didn't urge, just looked at Xia Hongsheng's thoughtful expression, and waited for him to speak without speaking.

In the original history, after Tang Gaozong Li Zhiping destroyed Goguryeo, he set up the Andong Protectorate in Pyongyang, and the person in charge was Xue Rengui, a famous general who bombed the sky. However, at the moment, Xue Rengui is estimated to be in his twenties, and he has not yet emerged.

Xia Hongsheng was in a state of sorrow, and suddenly, there seemed to be a spiritual light in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that in the original history, Xue Rengui was not alone!

Staying in Pyongyang with Xue Rengui is another person - Liu Renliang!

Oops, Xia Hongsheng patted his head, how could he forget him!

Seeing Xia Hongsheng suddenly pat his head, Li Shimin knew that Xia Hongsheng had an opinion, so he asked with a smile: "Did the virtuous son-in-law think of a candidate?" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and replied: "Back to my father-in-law's words, my son-in-law really suddenly thought of someone, or he could be up to such a heavy responsibility." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin was very interested and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Xia Hongsheng replied: "My father-in-law can still get it, when I was about to prepare to conquer Goguryeo, a person who was recommended by my son-in-law to His Majesty?" When the son-in-law recommended him, he once said that he had extraordinary ability and was a talent who could get in and out of the picture! ”

Li Shimin thought for a while, then recalled and said: "The virtuous son-in-law said that Liu Renliang?!" ”

"Not bad!" Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "This is exactly what the son-in-law said. For the imperial court to pass through the land of Liaodong, this responsibility is very great. However, the son-in-law thought that Liu Renliang was enough to be responsible. ”

"Liu Renliang ......" Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said: "When I had to recommend him to the virtuous son-in-law, he was a Cheng of Xianyang County, and after being recommended by the virtuous son-in-law, I let him go to the military academy and follow Ma Zhou to do things. Now ......"

"Father-in-law, Liu Renliang is now in the Navy Army." Xia Hongsheng said: "Together with General Su, he led another part of the cadet army of the army school to fight with the naval division. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Liu Renliang, although this person is resolute, but he is stubborn in the land of Liaodong, but he is not only upright. Liu Renliang has no other merits, and I don't know what he is, so that the virtuous son-in-law admires him so much. The land of Liaodong was recaptured by the Tang Dynasty this time, and there will be no more mistakes in the future. Those who are not big enough to do it cannot be trusted. After the sailor broke through Baekje and joined me in Pyongyang, I met with him to see if he had the ability. ”

"That's as it should be!" Xia Hongsheng saluted and said.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Let's skip this matter and don't mention it first." Goguryeo did not need to go to the Wa Kingdom and Linyi, and the people of Goguryeo were very different from the people of the original Wa Kingdom and Linyi. Goguryeo is most like my Central Plains, its people are stubborn, how can I make the people of Goguryeo forget the pain of losing the country and obey the Tang Dynasty? ”

"It's not an easy, short-term process." Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said: "A change in cultural habits and a sense of belonging is not something that can be accomplished overnight, or even a generation or several generations. However, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. It is precisely because all the customs and habits of Goguryeo are most similar to those of our Tang Dynasty, so its people are more likely to accept the teachings of our Tang Dynasty. It is only necessary to move the new city, compensate the orphans and the elderly, distribute the land, reduce the rent and reduce the tax, clear the law, and eliminate violence and peace. Those who are capable can be appointed with their talents, and loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and saltiness are added to the table. Protect the interests of the people, facilitate the people, and make the people live and work in peace and contentment. All in all, to make the life of its people better than ever, with the passage of time, the Goryeo people are all happy to admire. ”

Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled: "That's not bad." Authority is given a clear order, and grace is taken in the heart. Grace and power are applied together, and they are naturally smoothed. ”

"Father-in-law is right." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "Actually, it's still the sentence that the son-in-law said rottenly, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." In fact, most of the time, if you lose the glass cup and get the gold cup again, you will still be very happy. If you lose your old face, and in the blink of an eye, you will still be excited. As far as the people of Goguryeo are concerned, if they follow the Tang Dynasty and are much better than before in all aspects, then no one will resist anymore. If the Tang Dynasty wants to make the people of the occupied places sincerely submit to the Tang Dynasty, it must also regard the local people as the general kindness and love of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and there should be no difference, let alone be bullied by the people who have lost the country. ”

"Yes, the sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance." Li Shimin nodded and said: "I have long said that since ancient times, China has been noble, and I love it as one. ”

While he was talking, he suddenly saw several figures hurrying over, and the two of them looked at it and saw that it was Li Tao and Li Daozong.

When the two of them came closer, they saluted with Li Shimin, Xia Hongsheng dodged to the side, and waited for the two to salute before coming over again.

saw Li Tao excitedly took out a piece of paper.

Before he could speak, Xia Hongsheng's eyes were sharp, and he could see that it was a cipher used by a spy.

I only heard Li Tao say excitedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the sailor sent a spy report, and after the sailor occupied the Xiongjin River, he traced the river to the mouth of the Baijiang River. The Baekje army and the sailors poured out of the nest, wanting to fight to the death with our Tang sailors. Our Tang Navy Division launched a fire attack, the smoke rose to the sky, the sea water was red, and the fire burned the Baekje Navy Division, and then rushed ashore, and more than 100,000 soldiers in Baekje were defeated! The sailors and soldiers went straight to the fortress of Zhoujiancheng, and finally broke the remnants of Baekje in Zhouliucheng, and captured all the royal family and courtiers! It's already all the way up, collecting the land of Baekje and coming to Pyongyang! ”

"Good!" Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately burst out laughing.
