Li Shimin now only knows that he is going to the other side of the ocean tens of thousands of miles away to the United States. He only knows that the fief of his son, Li Hong, the United States, is in the East America. Some people say that it is the legendary sunrise place of Fusang.

However, Zhang Chao once said that he would go east and reach the west of Thailand, Rome and Persia, continue to move forward, return to the South China Sea and the Tang Dynasty.

It is a very magical statement, but several adventure fleets have completed the feat of voyage around the world in recent years. They have proved what Zhang Chao said with facts.

There are people from the Yin Dynasty in the Americas, who are also descendants of the Yanhuang in China.

Li Shimin now can walk slowly without crutches, his mouth is no longer crooked, and his speech is a little unclear. Sometimes he drools, so he has to pad a towel on the collar.

He was sometimes very depressed about this, and felt that his wise appearance was ruined by putting on a saliva towel. But if he didn't put on it, he could not control the drool that was flowing down to dirty his clothes, which made him even more disgusted with him.

He has now begun to hate Hanjing and Changle Palace.

He hurriedly wanted to go to that America, to that strange continent, and to get up again there.

"It's so strange to hear that there are no horses in America. There are huge herds of bison, but the people there have not learned to tame the bison plowing land."

"Wouldn't that mean that the nomadic tribes there don't even have cavalry, and nomadic tribes without war horses and cavalry are nothing but nomadic tribes."

Changle Palace.

Zhang Chao came by the imperial edict.

Li Shimin was going to America, and the court agreed, and was preparing ships, supplies, etc. He now wanted to know more about America.

Zhang Chao took out a map, a map of the American continent.

North America, Central America, South America.

Long coastline, mountains, lakes.

"Your Majesty, South America is full of primitive jungles, and the climate is relatively hot. Especially on the western coast, there are long and narrow mountains. There are many countries established by the Yin people here and have strong power. I do not recommend going to South America!"

"There are Mayans in China and the United States, and this is not very suitable."

"There are many Yin tribes in North America, but they are relatively scattered and there are no particularly powerful tribes. There are many plains in eastern North America, with fertile land and abundant rainfall, but it is not easy for the past and it is difficult for ships to reach directly. It is too difficult to go around and other aspects."

"There are many powerful tribes in the eastern plains, many coastal mountains in the western region, and many desert plateau mountains. The Yin tribes are relatively scattered and weaker."

Li Shimin was unhappy when he heard Zhang Chao's words.

"The place you chose for me is in this western North America where birds do not shit?"

"Your Majesty, western North America is not all a place where birds can't shit. Please see here. This is a river valley plain, located by the sea, between two narrow mountains, nearly 1,500 miles from north to south. This is a good place. The fleet can sail directly at this port, and then the Great River Valley plain is ahead."

Such a large plain, with many rivers, abundant rainfall, and fertile land. It is especially close to the sea, making it easy to go to the sea.

It’s okay to grow corn, potatoes, wheat or even rice.

"There is such a good place? It's like a paradise or a golden mountain."

"Your Majesty, there will definitely be many Yin tribes on this plain. These Yin tribes make a living by hunting, mainly hunting bison herds. It is not so easy to occupy this American public feudal land."

However, for Li Shimin, even if the court gave him a population of 20,000, such a small number of people would be great to be able to gather three to five thousand militias. So in fact, he could not occupy much place at the beginning, and he didn't need it.

Zhang Chao specially selected this California Plain for Li Shimin, which also allowed this American public fief of the Tang Dynasty to have more development potential.

"Actually, I suggest that you do not rush to build strongholds and fortresses in the plains at the beginning. You can first establish strongholds along the coast of this bay. For example, according to the expedition fleets that have been here, there is gold here. Therefore, they named this place Kingsoft."

Zhang Chao is talking about San Francisco, where the climate here is warm in winter and cool in summer and has plenty of sunshine. Although it is not an open plain area, Li Shimin only has 20,000 people just now.

It is very good to be the first foothold on this peninsula. At least the terrain of the peninsula is conducive to defense. There will be no powerful Indian natives attacking them, fishing, planting, or even making gold.

"First gain a foothold, then slowly go deeper along the peninsula, and finally walk along the river through the mountains and into the valley plain."

Zhang Chao suggested that Li Shimin first establish the first stronghold in San Francisco, so that the Tang Dynasty's merchant ships will come to replenish supply transactions in the future. After establishing a firm foothold and getting used to the climate and soil here, then go deeper along the peninsula. Build a pioneering stronghold farm and slowly extend it to the inside. This is the most stable.

"What you said makes sense. Good places will definitely not be unparalleled. If you pass by rashly, if you fall into a fight, you will have no time to develop. America is far away from the Middle Earth Tang Dynasty, isolated and helpless. If you cannot stand, it will be a dead end." Li Shimin quickly recognized the situation and admitted that Zhang Chao's suggestions were still very reliable.

"Wenyuan, I need two support. First, when the fleet arrives, you have to leave the ships transported by the transporter to me, and you can take the ships back to me. After all, this Jinshan Peninsula is the seaside, and it will be in the bay area in the future. It is not possible to have no ship, you have to leave the ships for me."

"This is OK."

The ships that transport population, livestock and supplies cannot all be driven back. Only those warships of the guards will eventually come back with the escort soldiers.

"Second, since there are no horses in this America, I ask you to prepare more war horses for me. You must also prepare some oxen and horse-drawn horses, and you must also need excellent stallions and mares. I will establish a cavalry in America and compete with the Yin people there at that time."

Although Li Shimin often said that those Indians were Yin people and compatriots, he had a very clear understanding. If he went to other people's territory, he would definitely be inseparable from fighting.

Even brothers with the same father and mother can turn against each other. Doesn’t it fully explain the struggle between Li Yuan and Chengqian, the three generations of the Li family?

So although he thought in his heart that he would recruit these compatriots in America, he was ready to fight one more time before he could talk.

The Yin people actually had no horses, so he brought a group of horses to build a cavalry. Wouldn't he be invincible there?

"Your Majesty, this can be found. But it's a long way to transport it will not be easy to survive. Your Majesty must know it."

Zhang Chao could not have given Li Shimin a thousand horses to go to America. It was really lucky that it was hard to say how much he could be left there.

Being able to transport one or two thousand is already a complete end to be kind and righteous.

If you don’t remember the relationship between the two in the past, and Zhang Chao also thanked Li Shimin for his contribution to implementing the new policy, he wouldn’t have been so hard. Give you a hundred pieces, and it’s all good.

"Swords and armor must be equipped, such as spears and horizontal swords. At least one piece of weapons must be made by everyone, right?"

Li Shimin began to continue asking for supplies.

After returning from Changle Palace, Chengqian asked Zhang Chao about the situation.

"The Supreme Emperor is in a good mood and is now thinking about America."

Cheng Qian looked at the American fiefdom on the west coast of America, "Do you think the court should build a castle there and then station troops there?"

"Is Your Majesty worried about the safety of the Emperor after he passed? I thought he was a little over-concerned. This time, the Emperor brought a population of 20,000. Then there will be many cattle and horses. When they arrive there, they can build a cavalry, and even a fleet, with armor and weapons, and all the people are soldiers, and they can raise at least three or four thousand militias. This strength is to gain a foothold on the Jinshan Peninsula. Who can beat them?"

"I dare say that within three years, Your Majesty will definitely go to conquer those Native American Yin tribes. The population and equipment can sweep away the nearby invincible. Perhaps ten years later, a powerful American leader will appear."

Cheng Qian smiled.

"Twenty years later, will the Emperor and the American Guild fight back to Central China?"

"That won't be."

Even if Li Shimin can be invincible in the Americas, it will take time to expand. Of course, the most restrictive thing is that his ability to travel across the Americas is not the industrial technology that Li Shimin can improve himself in a short period of time.

If Zhongyuan does not provide it, they will not be able to make these things themselves.

So the most normal situation would be that Li Shimin and his son were dominant in the Americas, but they could not do without the support of the Tang Dynasty. They needed to use prisoners of war, fur, gold, medicinal materials and other things to buy handicrafts such as weapons and cloth from the Tang Dynasty.

If the United States has given a hundred years of time, they may not be able to return to their motherland.

The United States will only become more and more prosperous. They will need various handicraft products provided by Zhongyuan because they do not have the technology themselves. However, Zhongyuan does not rely on him and can cut off transactions with the United States at any time and can strangle his throat.

However, if the transaction is maintained, the United States will be an overseas colony for the Tang Dynasty, providing slaves, fur, gold, silver, medicinal materials and other materials to the Tang Dynasty, or it can also become a place for the sales of the Tang Dynasty's goods.

As for whether the United States, an overseas fiefdom, will develop its own manufacturing system a hundred years later and two hundred years later, and whether it can be powerful enough to threaten the Tang Dynasty, the key lies in the control of the Tang Dynasty.

"Yuan Fu, I want to withdraw Xu Ji, but I don't want him to serve as Minister of War again." Cheng Qian said another thing. He had a bad impression of Xu Maogong. Recently, he accepted Xu Ji's daughter into the palace and granted him a title of Zhaoyi, one of the nine concubines.

Originally, the relationship with Xu Ji had changed a little.

Who knows that Xu Ji has repeatedly confronted him recently.

"What arrangements does Your Majesty have for Xu Maogong?" The Minister of War is one of the nine ministers. For these senior officials, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet only has the right to propose but does not have the direct right to appoint and remove them.

Cheng Qian thought for a while, "Or why don't you just let Xu Maogong be the post of guarding the emperor to America this time."

Zhang Chao was stunned, "Does Your Majesty still plan to let him come back?"
