Third, ask for a monthly pass It was a sunny day.
The clouds are light and the wind is light, and the grass grows and flies.
In the second year of the opening of the Tang Dynasty, March.
Hanjing Water Gate, the atmosphere is unusual.
A team is about to go.
Wei Jun Wang Wei Chi Gong received a fish talisman symbolizing authorization from the hands of Zhang Chao, the prime minister of the empire.
Xu Maogong, the king of Dongjun, received a gold seal from the hand of the second prime minister Fang Xuanling.
The two county kings of the Tang Dynasty, the god of war and the god of martial arts, will escort the Emperor Taishang and the Duke of the United States and the Duke of Australia to the south.
Xu Maogong, 45 years old.
Wei Chigong, 54 years old.
The two are still in their prime, but they are about to stay away from Datang and may not come back for the rest of their lives.
This is the final decision made by the two before the emperor set off.
Wei Chigong took off his robe and picked up the golden whip given by the emperor, and Xu Maogong no longer called himself sick.
The two decided to go to the Americas with the emperor, and they each brought a few young concubines, and only one young concubine with them.
Wei Chi Gong had already passed the title of King of Wei County to his eldest son Yu Chi Baolin, and Duke Xu Mao had passed on his title of King of Dongjun to his eldest son Xu Zhen.
Cheng Qian was very happy that these two generals volunteered to escort the Emperor Taishang to the Americas and were willing to stay in the Americas.
Specially given the title of Taifu Chi Gong and Taifu Xu Mao.
And gave Wei Chi Gong the Duke of Eguo with Yu Chi Baokun, and gave Li Jizi Li Siwen the Duke of England.
For the Americas they are about to go to, everyone's hearts are full of unknowns.
The 41-year-old Emperor Li Shimin knew that the road to this place must be full of hardships and accidents, and the sea is vast, and it will be difficult to return to his homeland.
Zhang Chao picked up a glass bottle.
It is filled with five-colored soil.
"The Emperor" Zhang Chao handed over the bottle.
Li Shimin took it with a solemn expression and a solemn expression.
Blue, red, yellow, white, black, in the transparent glass bottle, the five colors of pure natural soil make him feel heavy.
The five-colored soil, which is handed over by tribute from all over the world, shows that it is the whole world, and it is not the meaning of the king's land.
In the capital, there is a shrine made of earth-colored soil, which contains the worship of the land.
In the founding of the founding of the Society, the emperor enshrined Zen in the major ceremony, the five-color soil must be used.
"Your Majesty, there is Tus and wealth.
This goes to the Americas and brings the earth-colored soil of the Central Plains, which represents the five directions, the five elements, and also the five emperors of China."
These loesses are the loess of Guanzhong.
The black soil is from Liaodong.
Green soil, from the Jianghuai rice fields.
Red clay, from Yungui.
The white soil was taken from the desert of the Western Regions. ” Holding the five-colored soil tightly, Li Shimin suddenly burst into tears.
He originally thought that he would walk very chicly, but the atmosphere made by his mother's Zhang Chao was too unbearable.
His mother's Zhang San just deliberately wanted to see my jokes, and if I went to the Americas, I would definitely be able to make a comeback.
What was originally a sunny day suddenly became gloomy.
Dark clouds are coming.
Then it began to rain lightly.
God doesn't give you a good face Cheng Qian pushed away the chamberlain who was going to give him an umbrella, and he walked in front of his father.
The father and son stood here with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Father, take care all the way."
Li Shimin snorted and took a step forward, Cheng Qian's body was a little nervous.
"I won't eat you again."

He stepped forward and hugged Cheng Qian and patted him on the back, "In the future, remember to send me some people and materials every two or three years, whether it is a criminal or a slave, I will not refuse to come."
Don't worry, I won't ask you for nothing, Wen Yuan said that there is a mountain of gold there, and I will exchange gold, furs and other things with you at that time. ” "I'll send a fleet of ships every year to resupply in the future."
Undertaking the main road.
Li Shimin patted his son on the back and whispered in his ear, "Be careful of Zhang Chao" Then he let go of his son and turned his head into the boat.
Wu carried Li Hong, who was less than a year old, to the boat, and Wei Chigong and Xu Maogong each took their sons to the boat.
Zhang Chao waved goodbye to Cheng Qian, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty will escort Your Majesty all the way to Nanyang." ” All the people got on board.
A fleet of hundreds of ships pulls anchor.
"Set sail, set sail" Watching the fleet go south along the Yuhe River, Cheng Qian stood there and watched from afar, the rain hitting his face, with coldness.
For some reason, I saw Zhang Chao standing on the bow of the boat.
He suddenly had a thought, it would be nice if Zhang Chao was like Wei Chigong and Xu Maogong.
The muffled advice my father whispered in his ear before he left kept ringing.
Be careful of Zhang Chao.
Seeing his father standing at the bow of the boat at this time, that somewhat lonely figure, Cheng Qian's heart was mixed.
The generation of emperors who created the prosperous era of Zhenguan and let all countries come to the dynasty ended up like this.
At the age of forty-one, he was forced to abdicate and eventually had to leave the Americas, as if in exile.
This may be the only one, he is by no means a tyrant.
He made such a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, the Han family, and China, allowing hundreds of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty to live a good life today, but in the end, he was ousted from the throne by the ministers and nobles, and was exiled to the Americas.
"Your Majesty, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's go back to the palace" Uncle Wuji, the eldest grandson, came over with an umbrella.
Cheng Qian retracted his thoughts, and he asked the eldest grandson.
"Uncle, what kind of person is my father?"
The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while, "There is a saying that a tyrant is not a faint monarch, and a Ming monarch is not a benevolent monarch. ” A tyrant is not a faint king, and a bright monarch is not a benevolent monarch.
This sentence swirled in Cheng Qian's mind, his father was definitely not a faint monarch, but was he a tyrant, and the emperor was definitely not a benevolent monarch, he should be a Ming monarch.
"I think the Emperor Taishang is a Ming monarch who created the foundation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty."
"Well, the emperor did create the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but when the prosperous era came, he went to the Americas.
The initiator of all this is Zhang Chao, but now he is still sending His Majesty south. ” The eldest grandson Wuji continued, "Do you know a nickname given to Zhang Chao by the people?"
Cheng Qian shook his head.
"Some people call Zhang Chao the abolition of monarchs and the establishment of monarchs, and the forty-year-old Zhang Chao has abolished two emperors and established two emperors" Abolish two emperors and establish two emperors.
Listening to it made Cheng Qian's heart shiver.
But he had to admit that what the eldest grandson Wuji said also made some sense, Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taishang were both ousted from the throne, and they were all related to Zhang Chao.
In the Xuanwu Gate twice, Zhang Chao was the mastermind, and even Emperor Gaozu was later restored, but he was also destroyed by Zhang Chao.
Aboard.
Li Shimin looked at the waves of the river and greeted Zhang Chao.
"I also want to thank you for preparing such a complete set for me, and you specially sent me to Nanyang."
"These are all things that should be done."
Li Shimin's fingers tapped on the side of the ship, "Wenyuan, why don't you just go to America with me."
The Americas are so vast that our kings and ministers have once again joined forces to conquer the Americas.
At that time, I will live in North America, give you South America, and then give China and America to Xu Maogong and Wei Chigong.
Wouldn't it be nice for the three of you to be crowned a king side by side and share the world of the United States with me."
Zhang Chao hehe.
Isn't it a joke that you want to conquer the whole of America with such a small number of people Besides, with that kind of effort, Zhang Chao might as well spend some effort to clean up the natives of Luzon, Boni, Java and the Malay Peninsula.
After all, the Nanyang Islands are close to Datang, and it is much more convenient to initiate, relying on Datang and trade routes, it is much easier.
As for the Americas, let Li Shimin take the lead first.
When that side has established a firm foothold, opened up territory, and has a certain population base, it will be much easier to continue to develop and colonize at that time.
"Wen Yuan, after I heard that you let your five sons become vassals, you have been recruiting troops and horses, purchasing ordnance, and training soldiers.
Your family has recruited 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, and recently auctioned an overseas territory in the Red Sea.

What are you going to do?"
"Do you want to conquer the world?"
Zhang Chao shook his head.
"The emperor, the minister can tell you the one hundred and first time, the minister has no intention of rebelling, and he has never even had an idea.
The territory recruits troops and trains soldiers, which is to protect the territory.
On the island of Liuqiu, there are still hundreds of thousands of Shanyi tribes who have not been attached.
In the territory of northern Liaoning, there are countless barbarians such as Muwei and Yan Ya, these people only talk about strength, if they don't have enough strength, they can't hold the territory, and they can't protect the empire's borders. ” "Dawan Collar, Wolf Mountain Collar, Heihe Collar, which one is not a difficult environment and full of indigenous barbarians who have not returned.
As a vassal lord of the Tang Dynasty, guarding the border for the country is the first responsibility. ” "It is not necessary to train so many soldiers and horses to guard the border," Li Shimin pursed his lips.
Zhang Chao said, "The first important duty of the vassal lord is to guard the border for the country, and the second duty is to open the border for the country.
It's not enough to just hold on, but also to use the sword in the left hand and the Confucian classics in the right hand to open up colonies and conquer foreign countries.
Lay more territory for the imperial court, and also conquer and assimilate more barbarians, so that they can naturalize Huaxia and become a member of Zhuxia. ” "Only externally, not internally, but I don't believe it all."
"Your Majesty, the minister is not stupid or stupid, no matter how much territory the Li family has, there are only a few pieces.
No matter how many private soldiers there are, there are only 70,000 or 80,000.
This point of strength is scattered in all directions, and it can be mentioned if you go to conquer the barbarians to open up the territory for the country.
But if it is said that the spearhead has been transferred to rebel, this amount of troops is not worth mentioning at all.
The Tang Dynasty has 600,000 troops, and thousands of princes have countless troops, and one person will be drowned if he spits on it. ” Li Shimin was not convinced.
Zhang Chao had only trained 50,000 private soldiers in Nanyang before.
When he raised troops in Jiaozhou, Li Shimin once thought that it was a very simple matter to put down the rebellion.
After all, Zhang Chao has 50,000 rebels, but he has 800,000 soldiers.
But in the end, Zhang Chao only took less than half a year, and the rebels had more than 400,000 momentum, while his 800,000 army could not even prevent Zhang Chao from marching into Han Kyoto.
"I don't believe you."
Li Shimin said very bluntly.
"Your Majesty can pay attention to the Zhang family, know the wind and know the grass, and see the loyal ministers in Bandang" Words are not speculative, it is useless to talk more, Li Shimin turned around and threw his sleeves away.
He felt that if he continued to talk to Zhang Chao, he might not be able to control the beating, so it was better to talk to Wei Chigong and Xu Maogong, these two family wives and children who could leave the Central Plains at a critical time and were willing to accompany him to fight in the Americas again, he was very pleased.
At a critical time, Wei Chigong and Xu Maogong are the real loyal ministers.
