After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin immediately arranged the construction of the ironclad ship.

Although Datang's shipbuilding industry is not as developed as Daming's, it is still at the top level in the world, especially after the descendants of Yelang people who were found in Andaras last time, Datang's shipping has also been greatly improved. In absorbing the essence of their shipbuilding technology, in fact, there is not much difference from Daming's shipbuilding industry.

This time the shipbuilding competition, Li Shimin has great confidence to win.

The ironclad is so powerful, if it is manufactured, it can not only help Datang's business flourish, but also be used as a weapon of war to help Datang attack other countries, killing two birds with one stone, and it will be a powerful weapon for Datang in the future!

"Li Dequan, how is the situation in the frontier?"

After arranging matters related to the ironclad ship, Li Shimin took a breath and said slowly.

"Your Majesty!" The old eunuch Li Dequan said immediately: "General Qin just sent an urgent report that the locust plague in the frontier has been suppressed by 80%, and many people should prepare to return to the country. When the locust plague is completely settled, chickens and ducks can also return to China.

"Well, the rewards of the people should not be small, every penny must be returned to the hands of the people, and it must be emphasized to the people that locusts that have not been blessed and disinfected by the master must not be eaten easily!

"Yes!" Li Dequan immediately bowed and said yes, after thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, you didn't come over to Master Tang Jian just now. You said that the funds in the bank are in short supply. Do you need to suspend the purchase of locusts?"

"Lack of funds?" Li Shimin frowned upon hearing this.

It stands to reason that there are tens of millions of taels of silver in Datang Bank, and there is rarely a shortage of silver.

However, in order to prevent the bank from not being able to take out the money when the people withdraw money, 30% of the silver is often left in the bank as a guarantee. Datang has recently been building ships, highways, and buildings The school's spending is very large, so the problem of such a shortage of funds is actually expected by Li Shimin.

"Buying locusts can't be stopped!" Li Shimin said with a frown: "The locusts can be used as military rations for border soldiers, and can also be used as commodities to trade with Daming and Daqin. It must not be stopped!"

"Let's do it like this, just take out some of the money in our internal affairs treasury and fill it in, and wait until the people take the reward money and deposit it in the bank before taking it out. The infrastructure construction of our Tang Dynasty must not stop!"

"Yes!"

Li Dequan bowed to Li Shimin again, his eyes full of respect.

Your Majesty is worthy of being a famous emperor of the ages! There are so many emperors in the history of Tianxia, ​​who can use the silver in their internal affairs treasury to subsidize the country, and only today is His Majesty!

It is precisely because of His Majesty, who loves the people like a son, that the people will rush to the frontier to resist the locust plague. The money is small, and the most important thing is that everyone does not want such a beautiful Tang Dynasty to be destroyed in the hands of a group of locusts.

"How is the situation of the Tubo army?"

At this time, Li Shimin's figure came again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Qin has been paying attention to the situation of those Tubo troops. Now that the plague of locusts is about to end, it is estimated that these people can't bear it anymore. 55

"Hmph, the barbarians will die!" Li Shimin sneered: "Send the order, and let Qin Shubao and Yuchigong be ready for war at any time, destroy this Tubo army and immediately enter the city of Pibo, and then in Tianzhu, where they are fighting, be sure to put the These two countries are within the territory of our Tang Dynasty!

"Yes!

At the same time, in a small valley more than 60 miles away from the border between Tubo and Datang, 30,000 Tubo troops are stationed here. Everyone is mentally sluggish, and many people are so hungry that their faces are yellow and skinny, and they are about to lose weight. All have.

"General, why don't we go back, the brothers won't be able to bear it anymore!"

In the military tent, a Tubo general with his cheekbones spit out and his eyes sunken in his eyes persuaded bitterly: "Originally, there was not enough food for the army, but this time it has been completely out of food for two days. If you don't eat, your brothers will starve to death. what!"

Chi Na sat on the first seat with a gloomy face, the skin on his face almost clinging to his jawbone, making him look extremely terrifying as if he was a devil who chose to devour someone.

Several generals in the military tent were all face-sucking, and when they set out on the expedition, everyone was in high spirits and felt that they would be able to grab enough food and return triumphantly.

But no one expected that the Tang Dynasty actually resisted the attack of hundreds of billions of locusts.

Whenever they see the scene of chickens and ducks all over the mountains and fields rushing to eat locusts, and hundreds of thousands of people catching locusts, everyone's heart goes cold.

I don't know who made this notice. In this way, the locust area is outside the gate of Datang......

In their eyes, the terrifying locusts that looked like devils turned into food in the eyes of the Tang people.

Originally wanted to take advantage of the locusts that ravaged Datang by taking the opportunity to loot, but the frontiers of Datang were firmly guarded by these people, and they must have no chance to find it. How can they get in?

Therefore, this army has been living here for nearly a month. At first, the rations they carried could be patient enough to ensure that the soldiers would not go hungry, but now that the last rations have been eaten, they originally wanted to rely on it. The grassroots insisted, and as a result, the grassland with a radius of 100 miles was also burnt down by the bastards of Datang.

Now everyone in the barracks looks at everyone else like a hungry wolf seeing a big fat meat, and can't wait to go up and take a bite.

If you don't think of a way, even if the soldiers don't starve to death, they will have to bomb the camp.

"What did His Highness say, can we go back?" After a long silence, Chi Na spoke slowly, her voice hoarse like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other.

The looting plan was proposed by Langri Songzan, and even if they wanted to go back, they had to seek the consent of Langri Songzan, otherwise, even if they went back, they would definitely have a dead end.

The soldier said with a sad face: "General, His Royal Highness has sent a message that I have no food in Tubo, and if we return empty-handed, not only us, but also our parents and family will starve to death...

"Damn! 99

"Langri Songzan this bastard wants us to die?" 0.6

As soon as these words came out, several Tibetan generals who had a hot temper immediately stood up.

If you go back, you will die, and you will also bring disaster to your family. Isn't this forcing them to die?

The veins on China's forehead burst out, but he was more aware of the situation, and what Langri Songzan said was true.

The rations for these 30,000 people were saved by the imperial court's tight clothes and food. I don't know how many Tibetan people have been starved to death in the past two weeks. If they return empty-handed, they will definitely be swallowed alive by angry people!

"attack!

Gritting his teeth, Chi Na stood up abruptly: "Don't worry about the blockade of the Tang Dynasty, we must attack!"

"Organize an army immediately, we must attack the Tang Dynasty, and we will have a chance to snatch enough food!

"attack!"
