Datang: I show my cards, I am the emperor

Chapter 119 The king's shopkeeper's plan can be counted in one fell swoop [New book for customization]

Wang Chen said, dipped his fingers in some wine, and hastily drew a map of the Tang Dynasty.

"There are dozens of large and small countries around my Datang territory, and in addition to some large countries, small countries are still numerous and extraordinary. "

"If the Ministry of War, together with the Ministry of Households, can organize an arms trade, and sell some of the old weapons that have been eliminated by the imperial court, as well as those weapons and armor that have been accumulated in warehouses for a long time and cannot be used, to some specific countries, it will have a miraculous effect. "

Speaking of this, Wang Chen's finger gently drew a circle in the upper right corner of the Tang Dynasty territory.

"Here, for example, this stretching peninsula is the strongest of the three countries. "

"Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje!"

Goguryeo at this moment was renamed Goryeo more than 100 years ago.

It was only in order to distinguish the difference between Go's Goryeo and Wang's Goryeo in later historians' circles, so they continued to name Goguryeo.

All in all, there is nothing wrong with calling it Goryeo now.

Following Wang Chen's words and guidance, Du Ruhui turned his gaze to the upper right corner of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the area of the Liaodong Peninsula.

"Of the three small states, Goryeo was the strongest, far surpassing Silla and Baekje combined. "

"Since the Han Dynasty, our Central Plains region and Liaodong have always been entangled, and our Central Plains Dynasty has also carried out many conquests. "

In other words, the Three Kingdoms of Goryeo were an extremely unstable factor, and whenever there was a war in the Central Plains, an ambitious country like Goryeo would always get in the way. "

"Relying on the fact that sometimes the Central Plains region had no time to take care of them, they instead sent troops to invade Liaodong, plundered the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, and plundered the population and property. "

After hearing this, Du Ruhui couldn't help but nod again and again, of course he knew this situation.

This group of barbarians on the Liaodong Peninsula is indeed like this.

Silla and Baekje were better, separated by land and Goryeo, and the sea route was not particularly smooth, so they rarely invaded the Central Plains.

On the contrary, it is that Goryeo, which is the biggest cancer in the three kingdoms of Liaodong.

After being beaten by the Central Plains Dynasty, he shrank his head, cried for his father and mother, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Once the Central Plains Dynasty let go of Goryeo and encountered war in the Central Plains, Goryeo, who originally begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, immediately turned into a hungry wolf.

Originally, after the Tang Dynasty unified the world, Goryeo was also included in the list.

It's just that the Tang Dynasty was strong at this time, and the little Goryeo didn't dare to pretend to be forced in front of the Tang Dynasty, so he immediately pretended to be a dog.

It is also a request to recognize the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, and it is also a sign that it will pay tribute every year.

Of course, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are not stupid people, and it is impossible for them not to see Goryeo's pretending to be cowardly.

It's just that compared to this Liaodong country, it is obviously the Turkic people in the north, and even the broader northern steppe, which is a little more hostile to the Tang Dynasty.

Compared to the northern nomads, Goryeo was less of a threat.

Therefore, let go of Goryeo first, wait until the north is picked up, and then deal with this Liaodong country, and the steps will be clearly distinguished.

Although Du Ruhui was able to figure out the relationship, he said with some doubts: "Shopkeeper, do you say that these Liaodong countries have anything to do with the Ministry of War's handling of weapons and armor?"

"What do you mean by the special benefits?"

Wang Chen coughed lightly, and then pressed his hand.

"Just now I mentioned to you the three countries of Liaodong, the other Silla and Baekje, and there is hardly any war or other entanglement with the Central Plains Dynasty. "

"On the contrary, these two countries have a feud with Goryeo, which is also on the Liaodong Peninsula, and the three countries have fought each other for hundreds of years. "

Of course, in recent years, the country of Baekje has gradually sided with Goryeo, and Silla is the only one to carry the two sides. "

"Therefore, if I am the head of the imperial court, I can take advantage of this opportunity to sell the obsolete old equipment to Silla and arm the strength of Silla. "

In this way, when Silla fights with Goryeo, it will be more effective and able to play a role in dragging its feet from the rear. "

"Use this method of borrowing strength to make the three kingdoms of Liaodong mess up on their own, so that they have the strength to fight each other. "

"Then at least for a long time, before our Tang Dynasty frees up its hands to clean up Goryeo, this Liaodong country will be caught in the internal strife of the three countries on the peninsula. "

As soon as Wang Chen's words fell, Du Ruhui suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp, and he felt more and more that it was a great move to come here today.

Didn't I just want to ask how to deal with it, and eliminate the excess weapons and armor stocks every year?

First, it involved the reform of the government military system and the conscription system, then it involved the arms trade, and now it directly related to the situation in the Central Plains and Liaodong.

Nima, can there be more things to relate?

And not only that, but these things involved are analyzed incisively.

The situation of the three kingdoms of Liaodong described is simply a dead end to the relationship between Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje.

Du Ruhui secretly complained in his heart for a while, and then pulled his thoughts back to the topic, rubbing his chin and thinking for a while.

summed up what Wang Chen said.

"In this case, as long as the Ministry of War can make a decision, sell these surplus obsolete weapons to countries like Silla. "

"Not only can you exchange money, people and valuables for new equipment, but you can also offset the negative effects of obsolescence. "

"It will even help consolidate the security of our Tang Dynasty, stabilize the situation in the Quartet, and provide a foundation for my Tang Dynasty's future Northern Expedition to the Turks?"

Wang Chen nodded very affirmatively.

"Yes, that's what I mean, Goryeo is just an example, and there are really many countries around the country that can use this method. "

Du Ruhui couldn't help but be a little shocked, and his heart was beating violently.

, just a weapons trade, there are such great benefits!

Count them all in one fell swoop!

With this kind of good way to take care of all parties at the same time, it must be difficult to think clearly for Changsun Wuji and others to think about it.

Not because they're stupid, but because their thinking is limited.

For the ministers of the DPRK and China like them, they will veto the idea of arms trade in their minds at the first time, because it is really a dangerous move to do weapons and armor business with other countries.

It is estimated that only a strange person like the shopkeeper Wang can think out of the box and not be restricted by these borders.

This method seemed to be feasible, and Du Ru secretly decided in his heart, and when he returned, he would write it into the fold, and state it to the Son of Heaven, and ask the Chinese military officials to discuss it together.
