Datang: I show my cards, I am the emperor

Chapter 103 Promoting Xuanzang's westward journey is to pave the way for the promotion of Taoism [New Book Seeking Customization]

Just after hearing this, Li Shimin was already in extreme shock.

yes, why didn't he think of that?

The connection between the Western Regions and the Central Plains is somewhat weak, which has always been a stubborn problem in Li Shimin's heart.

After all, after experiencing the turn of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Western Regions are in a remote place, it is already good to be able to obey the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty now.

Li Shimin was still planning to use ten or even twenty years to firmly grasp the entire Western Regions.

But now Brother Wang actually told him that there was such a great way in front of him, and it would not take as long as he had originally planned.

Directly sent thousands of extremely elite soldiers, wrapped in sophisticated equipment, and then went to Tianzhu from the Western Regions in the name of protecting Master Xuanzang's westward journey.

Everywhere you go along the way, you can carry out a considerable degree of deterrence.

Take a walk around those small countries in the Western Regions, and by the way, show the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, and if you encounter a hard one, you can also have a military exercise.

In this way, the armed deterrence, custody makes the entire Western Regions obedient.

Steady, this strategy is too stable.

Not to mention the six benefits that Brother Wang talked about, Li Shimin was already tempted by this benefit alone.

He has now completely overturned his previous thoughts, and is ready to send some soldiers and horses to Xuanzang after he goes back, and let him go with him.

But having said that, Li Shimin still wants to hear it, what are the other 13 good five points?

"Brother Wang, this first benefit is already so amazing, so what should the remaining ones be?"

Wang Chen looked at Li Shimin's shocked face, and his interest in explaining this truth was even more incomparable, he changed his posture, and then continued.

"The second one is still related to the Western Regions, starting from Yumen Pass and going west, which is actually the Silk Road during the Han Dynasty. "

"This Silk Road is actually very significant, not only to broaden the trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. "

More importantly, it shows that the Tang Dynasty sought to imitate the ancient Han Dynasty, rebuilt the Silk Road, and completely stabilized the road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. "

"In this way, it not only highlights the tenacity of my Datang to sit on the world and not be afraid of strong enemies from all sides. "

"It can also allow the Central Plains region to rule over the Western Regions and form a fixed regulation. "

After Wang Chen finished speaking, he paused, then poured himself a glass of water and moistened his throat.

And Li Shimin began to ponder, of course he knew the Silk Road.

In fact, during the opening of the Sui Dynasty, the Silk Road was already quite prosperous, but the negative impact of the Turks in that era was already great.

After the handover of the Sui and Tang dynasties, although the Eastern Turks were divided into large and small khans, the contradictions and conflicts between the two khans were fierce.

But this blocking effect has not disappeared, which is the real reason why Li Shimin did not consider the reopening of the Silk Road.

If you have a question, ask it, this is his Li Er's good quality.

Therefore, Li Shimin asked: "But in this period, even if the Silk Road is reopened and stabilized, once the Turks attack and destroy this trade route, what should we do?"

Wang Chen couldn't help but sigh, and then patted his shoulder.

"I said you're Lao Li, you've been studying with me for so long, why are your realms and brains still not very good?"

"When looking at problems, you must learn to look at both sides of the problem, don't stare at it all at once. "

Li Shimin: "......"

Sure enough, in Brother Wang's mouth, his brain and direction were not good.

Although he was used to it in his heart, and his endurance was also much stronger, Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch his heart when he heard this evaluation.

Isn't he a bad brain, how can I, Li Ertang, be so unbearable?

No, one day this field will have to be recovered!

As for now...... I had to endure it silently.

Wang Chen saw that Li Shimin did not speak, so he simply continued: "If the Turks are strong, then the Silk Road may indeed be destroyed again. "

"But now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, the Turks should be worried about whether they will be destroyed, instead of running out from time to time to sneak attack the Silk Road. "

On the contrary, after the Silk Road is rebuilt, it can also compress the living space of the Turks and force them to the east. "

This is also counted among the second benefits. "

......

Well, Li Shimin admitted, he does not have a good brain at times.

He had always considered that the Turks would harass him, but he never thought that the offensive and defensive trend of the world had gone backwards at this time.

What the Turks need to worry about is whether the Tang Dynasty will send troops to suppress them.

After understanding this factor, Li Shimin immediately accepted the second (CCBE) benefit.

In order to hide his slight embarrassment, Li Er had to quickly cut the topic.

"Shopkeeper Wang, these first and second benefits are all related to the Western Regions, could it be that Master Xuanzang's westward journey can only have an impact on the Western Regions?"

Wang Chen held up a finger, then swung it from side to side.

"In fact, in my opinion, it really has far-reaching significance, but it is related to Tianzhu. "

"By the way, have you ever seen the map of Tianzhu?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head, he had seen it, but he was a businessman now, so it was a little inappropriate to say so.

"I'm in the medicinal herb business, so I just need a map of the Central Plains from south to north, and I don't have anywhere to find a map of that place in Tianzhu. "

Wang Chen tapped the table lightly, and then spoke

"Actually, don't talk about you, even if it is the Son of Heaven in the palace, he only has a very rough and vague and simple map of Tianzhu, except for the general outline, there are no other details. "

"Send a large number of soldiers to accompany Master Xuanzang to Tianzhu, since Master Xuanzang wants to exchange Buddhism and study Buddhist scriptures, it is natural to move around. "

"If I were to carry out this strategy, I would definitely arrange some masters in the army who knew how to draw maps, and it would not take too long to get a slightly detailed map of Tianzhu. "

"Although it may not be used for a while, what if Datang has the power to dominate the world in the future and push the border all the way to the time when it is next to Tianzhu?"

"At that point, the map will be an incomparable treasure. "

Li Shimin looked at Wang Chen's smiling appearance, and couldn't help but stir up a thousand waves in his heart.

Nima, this Wang shopkeeper actually thought about it so far away, and actually thought that one day the Tang Dynasty would hit Tianzhu.

, this is really something that Li Shimin never thought about.

But somehow, when Li Shimin thought of the scene in the depiction, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and enthusiastic.

In fact, when it comes to this place, Li Shimin already understands a little in his heart.

Asking Xuanzang to go to Tianzhu to exchange and study, I'm afraid it's not the right topic at all.

The real meaning of this king's shopkeeper should lie in the six benefits he said.

If you want to say this, the parallel Buddhism and Taoism mentioned above may just be some scenes?

Perhaps this little Wang shopkeeper thinks the same as he thinks, and he admires Taoism.

---

Say two things.

First, the author admires Taoism, Buddhism doesn't like it, but he won't discredit it, but he still likes our Taoism, Xuanzang traveled west, the author is just a plan to deter the Western Regions, don't misunderstand, don't bring rhythm.

Second, recommend a good book, "Datang: I have a showdown, I am Tang Taizong", the author "I am the Green Dragon", the theme of this showdown, in fact, I discussed it with this author friend, but this author had something to do some time ago, I sent it first, and this book is not similar to this book, I read it, the protagonist's setting is a hidden general, it's nothing more than a similar name, you can go to see what you like, this author is also updated!

Third, because there is some content, for example, some princesses will be written later, but some plots cannot be written, everyone should know in their hearts, so the author built a Jun Yang, don't say more, just come if you understand! Jun Yang "One, Zero, Five, Nine, Two, Four, Seven, Four, Two, Three" _

Fei Lu reminds you: three things to read-
