They must have the potential to basically destroy Japan, but if they do this for you, it will depend on what kind of chips you can take out. This is what happened.

When Xu Yuan and Lei Wanchun left the Tai Chi Palace on this day, Li Tian himself was not idle at all. He took advantage of nearly two hours to quickly write two letters, and read them twice and changed them again. Then he asked the guards outside the door to send them out directly.

These two letters are of course letters to the kings of Bohai Kingdom and Silla. Since they both regarded the Tang Dynasty as the superior country, they naturally had to obey the Tang Dynasty under certain circumstances.

After all, not every dynasty has the ambitions like Japan. It is more of a happy thing to want to develop quietly. Silla and Bohai are two such existences.

Of course, they knew that Japan believed that they wanted to be above the country, but although they did not give in, they did not mean to argue with Japan. This is actually because they did not want war. They knew the price of war, so they tried their best to avoid any disputes.

However, when some news was passed back to their own country from the various Tang envoys in the Tang Dynasty, Silla and Bohai countries' attitudes towards Japan changed a little.

After changing a little, they are just getting tougher towards Japan. In other words, they are telling Japan that you have offended the Tang Dynasty now, so don’t show off.

However, not long after, all the kings of both countries received letters written by Li Nian.

After reading this letter, the kings of the two countries knew that this thing that seemed to have nothing to do with them should not be able to get rid of them.

Li Qing didn't hide much from them, and directly said that because the Tang Dynasty was still separated by a sea from the middle of Japan, it would be a little bit too much to directly send warships to attack, and the losses would be a little too high, and it would take two years for the Tang Dynasty to build enough warships.

But Li Neng didn't want to wait for one or two years, so according to Li Neng, if these two countries could help the Tang Dynasty accomplish this, the benefit they would get was that they could more than double their country.

They all know how difficult it is to develop their own national strength. It is indeed a very big temptation to get materials and money that can more than double their national strength at once.

But although this temptation is indeed quite large, if we follow the previous ideas of the two countries, we still don’t want to come to this muddy waters.

However, Li Yan was prepared for a long time, so that Bohai Kingdom and Silla knew that they had found each other at the same time. If one of them did not agree, the Tang Dynasty would not be angry about this matter, but would spare no effort to help another country.

Anyway, it is certain to destroy Japan. Even if they don’t help, the Tang Dynasty warships will definitely come from the sea in two years.

In this case, both of them have a concern.

That is, once the other party directly agreed to the Tang Dynasty, when the Tang Dynasty really destroyed the Kingdom of Japan, he would be bullied by another little brother. At that time, the Tang Dynasty probably wouldn't care about it. If such a situation occurs, it would not be very beautiful.

So although they were reluctant, both Silla and Bohai Kingdom agreed to Li's request and wrote a reply to Li's letter, saying that they would send as many troops as possible and cooperate with each other to launch an attack on our country. Even if they could not destroy Japan in the past or two years, they would definitely relieve a lot of pressure from the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as they expressed their determination, they immediately received a reward.

Li Yi gave them a ship of supplies to each country. This ship of supplies was scarce, but the quantity was not very large. Their role was exactly as Li Yi said before, strengthening their confidence in fighting with Japan to the end.

This is a positive signal, which shows that if they can work hard to attack Japan, such materials will be given to them continuously.

In addition to supplies, Li Yi also gave many titles to the Bohai Kingdom and Silla. He also named Daqinmao as the King of Bohai and was awarded the title of Taiwei of the First Class Procuratorial Officer. As a commendation of Bohai, the status of Bohai was improved at that time.

Before, Daqinmao had frequent exchanges with Japan, not only sent envoys to Japan more than ten times, but Japan also sent Onoda Mori and others to Bohai for the first time a few years ago. Although Daqinmao was vain to the Tang Dynasty, he used his own reign name (Daxing, Baoli) and even used titles such as "Emperor" and "Saint". Li Yan expressed his understanding of these things in the letter, which meant that he would no longer be pursued, and the independent policy since Dawuyi could continue to be maintained.

In this way, even if he had pardoned all the things that might have become sins before, the Bohai Kingdom could only help the Tang Dynasty to fight against Japan with confidence.

Li Yi has also put some effort into Silla.

Silla entered a rapid development channel decades ago, established its own autocratic royal power, and immediately implemented a series of reforms.

The central government strengthened the bureaucratic system centered on the deacon, built the five small capitals and county systems in the local area, abolished the Luyi system economically, allocated civil and military bureaucracy fields, and established national studies in cultural imitation of the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty, and established the "Nine Oath Ban" of the Central Army and the "Ten Stops" of the local army in military.

It was also in these decades that Silla developed to its peak, and was in a golden period in politics, economy, culture and other aspects, and its exchanges with the Tang Dynasty reached its peak.

King Jingde continued to implement the policy of sinicization, changing Jiuzhou to a single name in Han style, and adjusting some official positions to Tang style titles, which further aligns with the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the king of Silla was the King of Jingde. He paid great attention to the relationship with the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, although he did not want to fight with Japan, he still bit his teeth and agreed to Li Yan's affairs.

In this way, even though the Tang Dynasty only used two ships of supplies, it was not as scarce as the Tang Dynasty was, so it found two younger brothers who could truly contribute to themselves. In Li Qing's opinion, this deal was really worth it.
