It's useless for Li Er to be a holy master or a wise king. After all, the limitations of history have restricted Li Er's way of thinking.
"Your Majesty, I feel that after digging out all the gold and silver on the island, the empire abandoned the four islands of Yanhuang,
The empire has such a large territory, why do they have to fight for such a small amount of territory.If you want to control it, you have to spend military power, which is not cost-effective. "
Wang Gui said.
To be honest, Li Er didn't want to occupy the four Yanhuang Islands, if he hadn't heard Du He's Gu boast that there were gold and silver on the islands.
Killing Li Er will not be tempted, nor will he think about sending troops to conquer.
This is the limitation of the times.
"Your Majesty, I also feel that after the gold and silver mines on the island are mined, the empire will directly abandon the four Yanhuang Islands.
If it is to be included in the layout, the cost is too high.One year's military expenditure is a large sum of money, it is really not cost-effective, please think twice, Your Majesty. "
Kong Yingda said.
"Your Majesty, I also agree with the words of several adults. The four Yanhuang Islands are meaningless to the empire, and there is no need to waste money."
Wei Ting said.
This is the status quo of the empire. They don't have much interest in the islands. They don't know that the four Yanhuang islands have an important strategic position for the empire.
The four Yanhuang islands are the first island chain in the empire's defense system.
With the first island chain, the defense depth of the empire will extend thousands of miles, so that the core area of the empire will not be eroded by war.
The essential difference between the theory of land warfare and the theory of naval warfare.
"Sir, tell me what you think."
Li Er called out his name.
brush!
Li Jing opened the map.
This was drawn by Du He, and a copy was given to Li Jing for reference.
"Your Majesty, before I talked with Du He, I would not think that the safety of the empire depends on the enemy coming from the sea.
On this point, like your ministers, it is also a land war security theory.However, after talking with Duhe,
Weichen changed his mind.I don't know why the enemy came from the sea, since the argument is raised,
We have to make a plan.In case one day, the enemy really came from the sea, how would the empire deal with it.
Under this assumption, Wei Chen feels that the empire cannot easily give up the four Yanhuang Islands.
Once you give up, the enemy will invade from the sea, and the core area of the empire will be completely exposed. "
Li Jing said while drawing a line on the map.
A defense line connecting the four Yanhuang Islands and extending westward.
Li Jing is the military god of the empire, and his words are more useful than Du He.
The important ministers looked at the map one after another, thinking in their hearts.
"Xuanling, what do you think of this matter?"
Li Er asked.
Fang Mou Duan has always been the direct line of Li Er's direct line, which shows how much Li Er attaches great importance to their opinions.
Even though Du Ruhui left, Li Er cared more about Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about the affairs of the sea. I know a little, but I usually listen to Du He's lectures.
Since Marshal Li felt that there must be a plan, and for the safety of the empire, the four Yanhuang Islands must be brought under the jurisdiction of the empire. "
Fang Xuanling said.
"Auxiliary machine, tell me!"
Li Er continued to roll his name.
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about military matters, but after listening to Mr. Fang and Marshal Li,
Weichen felt that no matter how difficult the four Yanhuang Islands were, the empire would have to control them.This is for the sake of the safety of the empire, and the coastal areas cannot be ravaged by the enemy. "
The eldest grandson said nothing.
"Okay! Since everyone agrees that the Four Yanhuang Islands will be included in the empire's territory, I agree with this decision.
In addition, the four Yanhuang islands were taken under the flag of the imperial army, so how to develop the four islands, everyone should talk more about it. "
Li Erdao.
"By the way, regarding the development of the four Yanhuang Islands, Du He sent me a brochure, everyone can take a look."
Li Er added.
The memorial on Duhe does not refer to the Four Yanhuang Islands, but the development of the non-core areas of the empire.
To put it simply, it is the problem of population migration.
It's just that what Du He proposed was not to relocate, but to lease out the land and let the lessee grow crops and raise cattle and sheep.
After all, the ownership of the land of the Tang Empire belonged to the state, and the people were only renters, not owners.
Land is state, not private.
During the lease period, no external lease or transfer is allowed, let alone abandonment. Once abandoned, not only will you face high fines, but the leased land will also be taken back.
Like on the northern prairie, people in the Central Plains can lease it to raise cattle and sheep.
During the lease period, private individuals are not allowed to explore and mine underground minerals. They must obtain the consent of the empire and have the right to explore and mine before they can implement it. Otherwise, it is an illegal act.
After more than a dozen important officials watched, none of them made a sound.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Du He's suggestion is feasible. After all, like the northern prairie and the four Yanhuang Islands, there are basically no people.
If it can be rented out, it will also be good for the security of the empire.Has been barren for a long time,
will be occupied by other races.We can lower the rent a bit more, half of the rent charged by the empire is enough. "
Wei Zhengdao, the straight man of steel.
"Your Majesty, this minister seconded Du He's suggestion."
Gao Jian said.
"Your Majesty, I support it. However, I feel that it is unlikely that ordinary people will rent in those places.
Mainly rely on the major families.Whether it is raising cattle and sheep, or planting crops, it is still necessary to mobilize those big clans. "
Fang Xuanling said.
Du He never thought that ordinary people would go to the north and Yanhuang Islands to grow crops and raise cattle and sheep.
It can only rely on the ministers of the DPRK and China to take the lead.
Du He himself also wants to set up an agricultural company, specializing in the development of planting and breeding.
Now in the territory of the Tang Empire, not only Quyuanli, but also some steam engine agricultural machinery are also flourishing.
All kinds of agricultural tools have been launched.
"Okay! This matter is settled, but everyone must mobilize the family to play a role in this regard, so that the policy can be implemented well."
Li Erdao.
Chapter 420 Li Er took the military boss to shoot
The meeting was over, and more than a dozen important officials got up one after another, waiting for Li Er to leave first.
"By the way, a few militants from the military wait a moment, follow me to the training ground, let's test the weapons Du He sent."
Li Erdao.
"According to the order!"
Li Jing, Hou Junji and Li Ji returned the salute.
When they arrived at the palace training ground, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Su Lie and other military leaders had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Majesty, what weapons and equipment are you testing?"
Li Ji said.
Ha ha!
"I'll come right away, I've already sent someone to pick it up. According to Du He, that kind of weapon is called a gun, and it's a hot weapon.
Different from traditional cold weapons.Once hot weapons prevail, there will be great changes in combat.Whether it is tactics, tactics, or strategy, it is different from tradition.
Let's wait and see! "
Li Erdao.
Not long after, two eunuchs came over carrying a long wooden box, put down the box, and pried it open.
A long, brand new rifle appeared in the eye socket.
But what?
No one present knew what it was or how to use it.
Fortunately, Li's second hand has a manual.
Li Er handed the manual to Li Jing.
"Marshal, take a look, how to use this, I read it several times, but I still can't figure it out."
Li Erdao.
Li Jing took it and looked at it carefully.
rifle! .
The effective range is 300 meters, and the gun weighs 10 kilograms.
After some research and understanding, Li Jing took out a rifle from the wooden box and held it in his hand.
Clang!
The butt of the gun was removed.
Where is the bullet?
Li Jing rummaged through the wooden box again and found several cartons.
Open it up and take a look.
Damn it!
Yellow bullets!
100 capsules per box, ten boxes in total.
"Your Majesty, this seems to be the so-called bullet."
Li Jing said.
"Commander, I don't understand either. It's the first time I've heard of such things as thermal weapons and rifles. I don't know how to use them."
Li Erdao.
"By the way, Commander, according to the instruction manual, the muzzle of the gun cannot be aimed at the human body, and it can only be aimed at the ground when reloading."
Li Er added.
A group of military bosses are dull and stupid!
Like a fool.
Nobody knows anything about rifles.
But what?
There are instructions, and a large group of people study together, and the research is almost done after a while.
"Your Majesty, what is recoil? It is said that when the gun is fired, the recoil is very strong. What a joke!"
