On this day, the whole family talked too much.

During Gu Tianya's long speech, he discussed the art of currency at great length. However, on the surface, he seemed to be talking about coinage, but in fact, he was talking about the future of the country and the nation.

Fight a huge war that will shock the world today.

Forge a fine coin and promote it throughout the world.

In the eyes of people of this era, these two things seem to be incompatible. However, if people in later generations listen to it, they will immediately understand the inextricable relationship between them.

Only a hegemonic country is qualified to implement currency throughout the world.

Promoting currency throughout the world will surely control the national power of all countries.

This is a currency war, and this is a hegemonic country.

But it has an extremely important premise, that is, the national power must make people feel extremely powerful, or to put it another way, the military's combat power must make people tremble.

Therefore, Gu Tianya said that he wanted to fight a big war.

A million-level battle.

…

"good!"

Li Shimin's shout suddenly sounded throughout the courtyard, but the emperor suddenly stood up, with a clear look of determination on his face. There was a hint of fanaticism in his bright eyes.

"You actually want to fight a million-dollar battle?"

"Hahahaha, okay!"

"I have been looking forward to this for many years..."

It is difficult for future generations to imagine that Li Shimin was actually a militant at heart. When future generations read history books, they usually focus on the Zhenguan rule, but few people calm down and think deeply about why the Zhenguan rule occurred in Li Shimin's era.

.

In fact, the reason is very simple, it is the strength produced by playing.

The reason why he was able to achieve this kind of strength was first of all because the emperor was a militant.

But seeing Li Shimin at this moment, he was obviously filled with uncontrollable excitement. The family members present could hear that the emperor's breathing became heavier and heavier.

Suddenly he laughed wildly again, and said loudly with fiery eyes: "Throughout the past and present, there have been great wars in all dynasties, but although there have been great wars, there are not many that can be said to be worth millions..."

The emperor paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued: "For example, in the Battle of Changping during the Warring States Period, 400,000 soldiers were killed and surrendered in one battle; and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, at the Julu River, the overlord of Chu destroyed the cauldron and destroyed the boat, and defeated the Qin army with 400,000 soldiers.

The main force will win in one battle and leave a name for thousands of years."

Suddenly Li Jiancheng also stood up. The eldest brother of the royal family spoke with excitement, and said in a rumble: "There are also the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty, when millions of armies fought against each other in Chibi. When the flames soared into the sky, they created a splendid battle.

, it can also be called a battle with millions of people. The generals have left their names throughout the ages, which always makes people fascinated."

As expected of a royal family, they have the passion for war in their bones.

Or it should be said that the ancients of our Chinese clan are actually like this.

They are usually humble and courteous, but they cannot hide their warlike ambitions. That is why in ancient times they focused on opening up territories and expanding their territories. That is why the ancients ranked military merit first.

At this time, Gu Tianya also stood up, but his tone was like pouring cold water on him, and said with deep meaning: "Actually, we all know that the battles just mentioned are not million-level at all. It can even be said that we

There has never been a million-level battle in the Central Plains of China."

These words made the Li brothers slightly startled, and then they nodded at the same time and agreed: "Brother-in-law is absolutely right. We have indeed never had a million-level war. The so-called million-level war is mostly an exaggeration.

, if we strictly count the strength of the troops, there are not many soldiers who actually participated in the battle... to have two to three hundred thousand soldiers is already considered a great battle that shocked ancient and modern times."

As they spoke, they both looked at Gu Tianya, and said: "Those so-called battles with millions of heroes all include auxiliary soldiers and corvees. Even so, it still shocked the world."

Gu Tianya burst into laughter and shouted loudly: "But we are different. We will not engage in fraud this time. Since there has never been a million-dollar war in history, let us, the Tang nation, open a new chapter."

As he laughed loudly, his eyes were like fire.

Suddenly he clenched his fist and waved heavily, looked at Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng and said: "Eldest brother, second brother, Gu Tianya is here to send an invitation today and ask if you are willing to leave your name for thousands of years? Let's gather a million troops to fight against the Han people.

Epic battle."

Gather an army of millions?

Fight an epic battle?

After Gu Tianya sent out this invitation, the eyes of both Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng flashed.

"good!"

Suddenly the two brothers spoke up together, roaring as if they were shouting: "A man's heart always longs for the battlefield. I, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, accept your invitation from the Gu family of Youzhou."

It's like a covenant, it's settled.

…

Then Gu Tianya spoke first and turned his eyes to Zhao Ning over there.

His tone was very gentle, and his eyes were also very gentle. He said softly: "Zhao Ning, you have to help me."

Over there Zhao Ning suddenly stood up, with a strong fighting spirit on her pretty face, and said loudly: "I haven't entered the military camp for three years since I married you, but today my husband has made an alliance with my mother's family to fight for the Han nation.

A million-level epic battle. Although I am now a woman, I have not lost my strength... For the glory of the Youyun Gu family, and for the future of my children, I, Li Xiuning, will wear armor again."

Next to them, Xiaoqing and Xiaorou stood up at the same time and said in unison: "I will follow the princess to fight for my Youyun Gu family."

"good!"

Gu Tianya nodded heavily.

He suddenly looked at the door of the courtyard and said loudly: "Ma Sanbao, I know you are outside the door."

A figure flashed at the entrance of the courtyard, and sure enough, I saw Ma Sanbaozhen over there.

This guy had obviously heard the covenant in the yard just now, so his face showed strong enthusiasm and excitement at this time. Before Gu Tianya could speak, he laughed wildly and said: "Master, please don't worry, we Ma Sanbao

I have been a warrior all my life. As the first retainer of the Gu family, it is my duty to lead the army..."

Gu Tianya nodded slowly, with a look of joy on his face. Suddenly he spoke again in a deep voice, with an extremely solemn tone: "In that case, let's report the military strength!"

What he said was a bit mindless, but Ma Sanbao seemed to have been prepared for it, but when he saw this guy suddenly walked into the courtyard gate, he bowed his hands to Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng from a distance, and said loudly: "Youyun Gu family, the military strength is ten thousand.

5. There are 30,000 cavalry, all black-armored cavalry, and twelve infantry, also armored soldiers."

It turns out that this means reporting military strength and reporting numbers to allies.

But Li Shimin couldn't help but speak, and the emperor said with a slight hesitation: "Youyun's soldiers are 150,000. The Li family and I know this very well, but can't all of these 150,000 soldiers participate in the battle?"

As the emperor spoke, he looked at Gu Tianya, frowned slightly, and then said: "Your land of Youyun has five states in total. Counting the earlier Tanzhou and Northwest Yunzhou, there are seven states, and because of these seven states.

The land of the prefecture is a frontier, so the area of ​​the prefecture is twice as large as that of the Central Plains. This means that it is almost equal to the two roads of the Tang Dynasty... Such a large piece of land must be guarded by military forces. However, I just said

From what you and General Ma Sanbao want to say, it seems that they want to pull all 150,000 soldiers and horses to the battlefield. Doesn't this violate the taboo of having an empty home?"

It turns out that this is what Li Shimin was worried about.

However, Gu Tianya seemed determined.

He suddenly raised his hands in salute, his expression looked extremely solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please don't worry."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was startled, and then their faces became serious, because Gu Tianya was calling "Your Majesty."

Since he is calling His Majesty Li Shimin, he is discussing matters in a serious capacity, which means that this is an agreement like a military order.

But seeing Gu Tianya's eyes flashing, he slowly expressed his deep meaning and said softly: "Since we are going to fight an epic battle, then the Gu family must send out as many soldiers and horses as they have. As for the empty rear area,

There is actually no need to worry about the danger... because the Gu family is going to issue a recruitment order."

"Recruitment order?"

Li Shimin was startled at first, and then his eyes flashed.

But Gu Tianya spoke again, looking at Li Shimin with deep meaning: "Second brother, have you forgotten? The first thing we talked about today was the minting of coins..."

He paused for a moment and then said leisurely: "Since the coins are minted into money, they must be spent to achieve the goal. However, once the coins are minted, they must be millions and millions of dollars. How can such a huge amount of money be collected in a short time?"

Where to spend it? I thought about soldiers’ pay, I thought about rewards for military exploits..."

He paused again as he spoke, and then continued: "Looking at all times throughout the ages, it seems that this method of spending money is the fastest. So, I will take the opportunity to issue a recruitment order."

The emperor suddenly burst into laughter, raised his hand and pointed at Gu Tianya, saying: "I understand, everything is understood. Well, Gu Tianya, it turns out that this is your plan. Taking advantage of the great war, carry out the new casting

Coins, once the soldiers get the soldiers, they will definitely use them to support their families and various expenses, and once they start spending, the coins will circulate."

Li Jiancheng suddenly also gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good brother, good means."

After the Li brothers each praised him, their expressions suddenly became solemn.

Then, Li Shimin spoke with great solemnity and said slowly: "I, Li Shimin, the leader of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, have made an alliance with the Youyun Gu family today. The Tang Dynasty will mobilize all military generals and dispatch all those who are good at logistics."

Civil servants, raise 300,000 troops and recruit 300,000 civilians. Within two months, they will all gather in Youyun. When the time comes, the army will march to Liaodong..."

After the emperor said this, he looked at Gu Tianya with sincerity and said solemnly: "Brother-in-law Gu, you should be able to understand that these are all the troops and horses that the Li family can dispatch. After all, we still have a huge territory to guard.

."

Gu Tianya nodded solemnly and said slightly sadly: "I understand, I know. Although the Tang Dynasty claims to have millions of soldiers, most of them are soldiers working at home. When there is a war, the court issues a call-up.

When there is no war, we can open up wasteland and farm at home..."
