Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 493 Zhang Yi's Recommendation

"Anyone who wants to bully us when we are weak and weak must be beaten, and he must be beaten hard!"

Zhang Yi's eyes shone brightly, and the current Datang was no longer the exhausted Datang in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The current Tang Dynasty has already defeated the two powerful enemies of Turks and Tubo one after another.

Even if Datang has just fought again and again, it is still a period of relaxation, but if anyone wants to bully the Datang Empire, Zhang Yi believes that Li Er will definitely kill him.

for sure!
And there is a good saying that people can only see themselves clearly when they are at their lowest point, and the same is true for a country. When this country is at a low and exhausted stage, you can see whether the surrounding countries are friendly to it.

But now Goguryeo and Baekje not only invaded Silla, which was protected by the Tang Dynasty, but also harassed the border of the Tang Dynasty. This is obviously not taking the great His Majesty Li Er seriously.

Regardless of the purpose and reason, it is inevitable for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo and Baekje.

Therefore, Li Er now brought Zhang Yi to discuss and see if he had a better way to deal with this war.

Just like the last time they attacked Tubo, Datang defeated the Tubo people without much effort.

The main credit is Zhang Yi and his economic warfare!

That's why Li Er wanted to call Zhang Yi to discuss countermeasures at this time, to see if there was a better countermeasure to deal with Goguryeo and Baekje.

Li Er did not do this to save trouble. In fact, he is still a very good emperor. What Zhang Yi can be sure of is that Li Er asked him to come over to discuss countermeasures in order to allow Datang to live more peacefully and the people to live a more peaceful life. In the past few years, I lived a peaceful life and didn't have to think about war every day.

Originally, Zhang Yi was obliged to contribute to this kind of matter, but Li Er's next words made Zhang Yi feel a little bit pained.

"As my son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, you should also share my worries. The majestic son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty has great prestige, but it is not so easy to be!"

What Li Er said was blatantly saying that if you become a son-in-law, you have to treat me like a father and help me solve the problems I am facing.

After hearing Li Er's words, Zhang Yi, who was already full of enthusiasm, began to calm down slowly with his eager heart.

There are so many capable people in the world, and they don't necessarily have to stand out on their own. Even if Li Er doesn't use himself, he can definitely win this war.

After thinking this way, Zhang Yi also gave up the idea of ​​going out for the country again. After all, he just got married not long ago. It is not good to just abandon Xu Rou like last time. If Li Er mentions that Zhang Yi is going to go out, Zhang Yi can talk about it.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea."

Although his blood was cold, Zhang Yi still couldn't take Li Er's words as a joke. Since Li Er called him, he had to leave something behind. Throw him to the frontier again.

"If you have any ideas, tell them quickly."

When Li Eryi heard that Zhang Yi had an idea, his eyes immediately burst into light. Every time Zhang Yi had a good idea, it can be said that the recent difficulties that Datang faced were all helped by Zhang Yi’s ideas. very busy.

From small dried fish to defeating Tubo with economic warfare, these are all credited to Zhang Yi, not to mention the cultivation of herbal medicines and the development of pesticides to deal with locusts.

It can be said that for what Zhang Yi has done, it is not an exaggeration to ask Li Er to give him a plaque now.

However, in order to avoid Zhang Yi's expansion, and also because his foundation was not solid enough, Li Er did not do this. What he had to do was to continue to extract useful ideas from Zhang Yi.

Seeing Li Er's eager eyes, Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you remember the gunpowder bombs I developed when we fought against the Turks."

Li Er pondered for a while and then nodded.

The gunpowder bomb was so powerful that he was very impressed. He demonstrated it in front of his eyes and he remembered it deeply.

"You mean, you want to equip the army with gunpowder and use it against Goguryeo?"

Li Er asked, if that's the case, then Zhang Yi's is not a good idea.

Although the gunpowder bomb was invented by Zhang Yi, at this time, there are probably no fewer than ten generals who thought of using gunpowder bombs in the army, and those who thought of using gunpowder bombs in the war with Goguryeo probably did not. A few more.

If Zhang Yi had just said such a sentence, Li Er would have objected to him.

Zhang Yi also knew this, so he added: "Yes, equip the army with gunpowder and teach the soldiers how to use it, and choose a suitable general to conquer Goguryeo."

"A suitable general?" Li Er looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously.

The interest was successfully aroused, and Zhang Yi successfully diverted Li Er's attention.

"Yes, everyone can use gunpowder bombs, but a person who can really use gunpowder bombs in warfare and let gunpowder bombs play a strategic role must be a general, so a suitable general is a must , This is directly related to the success or failure of the war."

Li Er also led troops to fight, and most of the country in the Tang Dynasty was led by him. He naturally knew whether Zhang Yi's words made sense.

Without a wise general, the war will be very difficult.

So Li Er asked: "Looking at you, there is already a candidate. Let's talk about it. Who do you plan to recommend?"

Li Er looked at Zhang Yi with interest. Originally, he planned to select a veteran, and then let Zhang Yi be a staff officer, and directly sent troops to conquer Goguryeo. But now seeing Zhang Yi's words, Li Er decided to continue to see what he planned to do. Do.

He knew that the gunpowder bomb was invented by Zhang Yi, how to use it, how to make the gunpowder bomb more effective, and kill more enemies, it is estimated that no one knows better than Zhang Yi in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty.

Zhang Yi knew that Li Er would ask such a question, so he immediately answered with a smile: "I do have a very suitable candidate to recommend to Your Majesty, but the person I recommend may be more controversial. At that time, it will even attract opposition from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty."

"At that time, whether His Majesty will use this person or not will not be decided by the minister."

Zhang Yi continued to hang on to Li Er's appetite, and wanted to feed his appetite, and he would naturally be hooked when the time came.

Sure enough, when Zhang Yi said that, Li Er became more interested.

"Tell me quickly, I want to see who can make you value, but let the civil and military of the whole court oppose him to lead the army."

The person who can make Zhang Yi fancy must have his own merits. No matter how you say it, he will not be opposed by all civil and military courts.

No matter how bad it is, guys like Xu Jingzong and Cheng Yaojin should not oppose Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The person I recommend is Hedong Xueli!"
