Chapter 308 Li Zhen's backhand Solving Li Chengqian, Li Zhen leaned back, just leaning on a warm embrace, and a pair of small hands happened to appear on Li Zhen's temples and gently massaged him.
The person who came was Aya, or she was not the person who came, because she had been lurking beside Li Zhen all the time, which was the reason why Li Zhen was so relieved that Li Chengqian was alone in his study - after all, this was during the war, and most of the materials in Li Zhen's study were military materials.
"My eldest brother didn't see anything he shouldn't see, did he?"
"No, he is very honest and has been reading the "Art of War" annotated by you."
Aya replied, and then asked softly, "But Your Highness, is it really worth it to exchange such a large fief for a moment of peace?"
I have read the history of China, the Zhou Dynasty perished in the hands of the feudal system, the Han Dynasty almost perished in the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, and the Jin Dynasty was completely decayed because of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings. ” "What am I afraid of?"
Li Zhen grabbed Aya's little hand, stroked it gently, and said lazily: "Whether it was destroyed by the vassal states in the last years of the Zhou Dynasty, or the rebellion of the Seven Kings and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the reason why they rebelled was not because of how much military power the princes and kings had, but because they were all in the same country.
But I'm different, I divided them into a wild land, where they can casually claim the king and hegemony, as long as they rebel blatantly, they can be their soil emperor on their territory at will, the degree of freedom is not those who obviously have supreme rights, but they are still suspicious by the monarch, and the princes who are precarious are much better, you say that with these, why did they rebel against me?
What's more, even if they really rebel, you don't want to think about how far their country is from Datang, as soon as you go to Guanshan for thousands of miles, before they can hit Datang, you will be exhausted to death. ” This situation is not without precedent, how powerful was Alexander the Great in history?
Invincible all the way, and even wanted to fight to China, and put it into action, but unfortunately he thought too highly of himself, he did hit India, but the army under his command became a fatigue division, as a result, the army of Alexander's empire in the horizontal world was easily defeated by the strange Ah San, Alexander himself did not take long to get sick and died, not even a descendant left, the huge Alexander empire fell apart in an instant, it is really sad and lamentable.
Aya withdrew her jade hand and said worriedly: "But after a long time, in case the descendants of the Tang Dynasty are not angry, and there is a Ming Jun there - they will eventually lose this country." ” "If that day comes, I'll admit it."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "If it is really the descendants who are not angry, then even if they don't have to take action, the country that should die will also die, rather than this, it is better to die in their hands, after all, they are also the descendants of the Li family, and it is better for the meat to rot in the pot than to let outsiders eat it." ” "Besides......"
Li Zhen suddenly laughed: "Do you think they are so easy to become strong?"
” "Your Highness means ......"
"It's not interesting."
Li Zhen didn't answer Aya's question, but she was very satisfied with her arrangement - the territory she had given them was indeed very good from the current point of view, even if she couldn't be rich and rich, it was still no problem to dominate one side.
But......
This is from the current point of view, if future generations see Li Zhen's plan, I am afraid that they will have to scold him: black, really black.
Because the place divided by Li Zhen was either the gathering point where the ethnic conflicts were most serious in later generations, or they avoided the production areas of high-quality minerals, and at the worst, they also avoided important transportation routes.
The ethnic conflict is serious, the people's livelihood is bound to be bad, and the king can't handle the people's livelihood, where can he govern the country?
For example, Li Yun's fief is in West Asia, and there are serious religious and ethnic conflicts in this area, especially the conflict between Arabism and Christianity, the two sides have completely opposite doctrines, and the contradictions are fundamentally irreconcilable, and some Jews are always trying to recapture the Holy Land, and these ethnic and religious contradictions alone are enough for Li Yun to be busy.
Without minerals, weapons and machines cannot be built, industry cannot be developed, and the country cannot be strong.
An example of this is Li Chengqian's central India, although there are minerals in this place, but more of it is mainly agriculture and animal husbandry, and there is no industrial power, how can the country be strong?
Without excellent waterways, there will be no caravans to do business in your country, and the economy will not develop.
For example, Li You, his territory is the largest, but his territory is in Northern Europe, where even ice-free ports are extremely scarce, and the population is not large, where will any caravans go to him?
How can you develop an economy without business?
As for the remaining brothers, Li Tai's conditions should be the best, there is no shortage of all kinds of resources, except for the lack of a port - Li Zhen dug a lump of southern Africa from the middle and gave it to Li Tai, and did not give him a port at all, and it was surrounded by colonies or military bases occupied by the Tang Dynasty, so it was impossible for Li Tai to rebel even if he wanted to.
Li Ke's territory is in Eastern Siberia, and his resources are no less than Li Tai's, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no one, so you are a fart?
What's more, Eastern Siberia is not far from Datang, at least on one continent, Li Ke dares to make a little move, and what greets him is the ruthless iron hooves of Datang Iron Cavalry.
There are also a few other people such as Li Shen's Algeria region, Li Jian's Nigerian region, etc., and others are also in the same situation, in short, they have various shortcomings that limit them.
With these shortcomings, Li Zhen can guarantee that without the support of Datang, they will definitely not be able to develop within a hundred years, as for a hundred years later, Datang is estimated to have initially entered industrialization, will they still be afraid of them?
"Your Highness is sure, the slave has retired."
As he spoke, Aya was about to retreat.
"Wait a minute."
Aya's delicate body trembled: "What else does Your Highness command?"
” "I ......"
Li Zhen wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything, so she could only find an excuse: "When I inherit the throne, the first target is the West, and when I hit Khorezm, I promise to help you slaughter the city." ” Aya was even more moved, and wanted to rush into Li Zhen's arms desperately, but at the last moment, she forcibly held back: "Aya thank Your Highness for your kindness, but Your Highness is not worth changing his strategy for Aya's affairs, and it is not good for His Highness's reputation." ” "It's nothing, because it's a strategic step for me."
Li Zhen smiled: "What's more, if I don't send the benefits I said to them, how can they feel at ease?"
Anyway, it's just a drop-by, you don't have to mind. ” "Then Aya, thank you, Your Highness."
Li Zhen grabbed Aya's hand and said softly, "Why do you want to say thank you to me?"
” Aya suddenly panicked: "Your Highness, Aya still has something to do, so she will retire first......" "......" looked at Aya's figure of leaving in a panic, smelling the fragrance left in the air, Li Zhen was a little stunned.
After that night's conversation, Li Chengqian became much more honest, and although he occasionally interfered in government and military affairs, he was no longer as arrogant as before.
And after all, he has been the prince for more than ten years, and he still has political ability, although he interferes in government affairs, but sometimes his suggestions can indeed be in a word, solve a lot of troubles, and help Li Zhen a lot.
After another half a month, news came from the front that the last city of Zhenla was taken by the army, and Zhenla was completely destroyed.
At this time, it was almost September, and it had begun to snow in some cold places in the north, and Li Zhen had been out for several months, so it was time to go back......
