"A country within a country?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and now the two of them understood what was going on.

Du Ruhui said: "According to the meaning of the prince, the nominal ownership of the 'Tang Concession' is still Persian, and our Datang side does not have extraterritoriality. However, in the 'Datang Concession', our Datang side is managing itself, and even like Datang itself, we can set up an administrative agency, can your subordinates understand it like this? ”

While saying this, Du Ruhui also looked at Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba nodded and said: "That's true, as long as the 'Tang Concession' is established, they Persia will have no reason to act recklessly in the concession, and if they enter the concession, they will have to abide by the rules formulated by our Datang!" ”

"Then why do you have to choose a bustling port city?" Cheng Biting Jin, this rammer, is really not pretending to be in his head.

"General Cheng, let me ask you, if you were asked to choose a fief, where would you choose other than your hometown?" Li Yuanba did not answer Cheng Yanjin's question, but asked Cheng Yanjin a question.

Cheng Yanjin lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said with a serious face: "Of course I will choose the land south of the Yangtze River that is suddenly fertile and rich in resources!" ”

"What if the land south of the Yangtze River is also chosen?" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuanba's mouth.

"That's the coast, preferably a port city!" There was no hesitation on this return trip.

When the words landed, Cheng Yanjin showed an expression of sudden realization and said, "I see!" ”

Compared with inland plains or mountainous areas, some port cities formed in the key points of water transportation (mostly in the estuary area) are generally rich boundaries, and these places are also easier to develop by leaps and bounds.

Of course, port cities must also be the first object of war, after all, they represent the waterway hub, if the waterway is not accessible. A lot of grain, grass, baggage, and even troops can't be transported over!

It seems that Li Yuanba's ambition is not small, this is clearly to encroach on the port cities of the Persian Empire!

Of course, Li Yuanba can be said to hate the concession.

Think about how many concessions those imperialist countries established in China in Li Yuanba's previous life, and this concession is a colony in disguise, (the so-called colony refers to the area ruled by the suzerain, without political, economic, military and diplomatic independent rights, and completely controlled by the suzerain. ）

The concession seriously violated the integrity of a country's territorial sovereignty, coupled with all kinds of privileges within the concession. These privileges are also a serious violation of a country's judicial sovereignty.

Now, this concession has been used by Li Yuanba on Persia, and Persia is also to blame for being unlucky!

"Wonderful!" Li Ji clapped his hands violently and said: "As long as we eat these port cities and slowly control these waterway hubs, when our subversive plan is implemented, we will definitely catch Persia off guard, and I believe that Persia will not even have a place to cry at that time!" ”

"Don't rush to clap your hands, this is just the first step!" Li Yuanba looked at Li Ji with a smile. Said: "After all, our Tang Dynasty is separated from Persia by thousands of rivers and mountains, if we wait until the subversion plan is successful before sending troops, I'm afraid we will be in a bit of a hurry!" My second step is to go by land. Lead the army all the way to conquer, spend a year and a half, and fight to Persia! ”

"Hit?" Everyone looked at each other strangely, and finally Li Shimin said, "Yuanba." Didn't you advocate sending troops to Persia at this moment? He also said that if he sent troops at this moment, it would not only waste time, but also make the soldiers lose their lives, which is very inappropriate? ”

Li Yuanba stretched out a finger and shook it. Said: "Brother Huang, the younger brother does not mean to attack Persia, but to conquer a small country and a small country, and completely open up our road to Persia!" ”

This is simply the early Tang Dynasty version of Journey to the West!

"This ......" Li Shimin said with some hesitation: "In this way, the project is not too big, I am afraid that it will cost the people and money!" ”

"Brother Huang, in fact, it will cost some troops, material resources and financial resources when the first battle is fought, and when it comes to the middle and late stages, we can implement the strategy of nourishing the war with war, and it will not hurt the vitality of our Datang at all,"

Li Yuanba laughed very confidently, thinking that in Li Yuanba's previous life, didn't those imperial powers rely on the resources of the colonies to feed the war? How much of their own resources are spent? On the contrary, let them make a lot of war money!

"What is the purpose of raising war by war?"

Standing at the front, Li Jing, who had never spoken, had a super sensitivity to war, and when Li Yuanba said this word, he immediately attracted Li Jing's attention.

"Oh, brother, isn't that understandable?" Cheng Yanjin rarely understood, "It's nothing more than using the human, material and financial resources we have obtained in the war to continue the war!" ”

The so-called war is to feed the war with war, which is to treat the war country as a slave, everything that the war country has is their Datang, and everything that is given and demanded must be answered.

"Isn't it too hurtful?"

Li Shimin was a little hesitant after all, even when he was fighting the world, Li Shimin also emphasized being kind to the people, and put it aside until Li Yuanba's previous life, that is, 'not taking the slightest bit of the people', so the people of the Tang Dynasty will support Li Shimin so much.

Now Li Yuanba told him that he had to rely on the method of nourishing war to achieve the goal of aggression, which made Li Shimin really ruthless.

"Brother Huang, you must know that if you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, anyway, the people of those countries are not our Tang people, even if they let them destroy the country, it is not too much!"

Li Yuanba's words carried a gloomy chill, "My Datang doesn't need a subordinate country, if you want to escape the disaster of destroying the country, you can only take the initiative to give up the country, voluntarily accept the rule of my Datang, and become the county of my Datang, otherwise it will ......"

Li Yuanba's words are not only hurtful to the heavens, but can even be called madness!

However, there is no permanent peace between these countries, and once a war breaks out between the two countries, it will either be you dead or I will live!

"Good!"

Compared with Li Shimin's hesitation, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin and others looked excited, and even their voices rarely trembled.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness King Wu has this plan feasible!"

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to stand up and say to Li Shimin: "Compared with Weichen's conservative strategy, although His Royal Highness Wuwang's strategy also takes a lot of time, it can definitely reduce the implementation time of Weichen's conservative strategy by more than half!"
