Li Yi thought of Liuqiu, which was Okinawa at his time, and Guam.
Southeast Asia was full of aborigines with few believers.
The population was small, and it was difficult for them to conduct large amounts of maritime trade. They were weak and were still in the process of tribal conflicts.
It was not a big place with a small population, yet they still fought with each other.
Such a place was easier to occupy. If they did not have enough faith, they could give them faith.
"There are some islands in the east and southeast. They have not been enlightened. Go and enlighten them in order to facilitate the supply of ships from other places in the future."
Li Yi wanted to occupy Southeast Asia. During the Tang Dynasty, Southeast Asia had no fighting power.
The barbarians were not from Southeast Asia but from India and Arabia.
Many aborigines in Southeast Asia did not have the ability to take the initiative to sail to the Tang Dynasty. They bought and sold things when others passed by.
Those who had the ability to go to the Tang Dynasty were the local "royal family". They came to the Tang Dynasty to buy something back.
Although there were more "royal family", sometimes a larger tribe could be considered a "royal family".
"Where is it? Do you have a map?" Li Longji never doubted Li Yi's words, but he wanted to figure it out by himself.
"Whoosh!" The cub ran away. He knew where the map was.
After running for more than a dozen steps, he looked back to see if Qing Song was chasing him. Then, he stopped and walked back with his head lowered.
He saw Qing Song pulling the zipper of the box. Needless to say, there was a map in the box.
Then, the moment he walked over, Qing Song jumped out. He did not. He deliberately pulled the zipper of the box.
The cub: "…"
"Hahahaha …" Li Longji laughed again.
Li Chengqi shook his head. "All is fair in war!"
"Hahaha …" Princess Yongmu buried her head in Li Yi's arms and laughed.
Ge Yan and Huang Bai beat their chests and stamped their feet. Why didn't they think of it? What a good opportunity!
Li Yi scratched his head. "I think you should be sent to the front line. Go back and learn more about commanding and tactics. You can also practice on the sand table."
"Thank you, Dongzhu." The remaining seven people, including the palace maid, thanked him together.
The palace maid knew that Li Yi wanted to form a female team, mainly for medical treatment, but who said that women could not understand tactics?
The palace maids and eunuchs usually watched the Winged Knights study, and when they had time, they would ask Guo Ziyi some questions.
Guo Ziyi would visit the generals and generals of the Tang dynasty again.
Li Yi gave Guo Ziyi the military strategies and tactics he had compiled. Guo Ziyi was actually stronger than he was in history.
According to history, he was already very old, but now he was still young.
The palace maids and eunuchs also had dreams. The eunuchs wanted to leave their names in history, while the palace maids wanted to find a good husband when they were old.
Their target was the young men from the Li Family Zhuangzi. They didn't like other men.
Otherwise, he was a student without a wife, a student of the Li Family Zhuangzi, a first-class Jinshi.
The students of the Li Family Zhuangzi didn't have Yi, nor did they have any other subjects.
Right now, what they wanted the most was for the Li Family Zhuangzi to continue recruiting students. That way, they would have more choices.
The previous students gradually had wives. Would they be old enough to be a concubine? No!
They thought that the old ones were over 25 years old. Those who were 30 years old were considered old women and couldn't marry.
The youngest was 15 years old, and the oldest was 18 years old.
Not all girls knew so much at 15 years old, but those who didn't know were eliminated at 12 or 13 years old.
Wu Jieyu was around this age when she was with Li Longji, and then she knew how to fight in the palace.
In history, she successfully killed the Empress, but unfortunately, she didn't become the Empress.
Princess Jincheng, who was married to Tubo, was also very young when she got married, but she also stubbornly lived on.
"Here! Huff! Huff! "Qingsong ran back with a long box in his hand.
Li Yi took it, took out the sea map, and unfolded it for Li Longji to see.
"Third Brother, these islands can be used now. There are natives there, and it's very easy to rope them in.
The simplest way is to use candles, mirrors, pills, silk, cotton, needles, kitchen knives, and farming tools.
People in ruling positions like candles, mirrors, and silk. The others are more practical.
If someone is willing to teach them how to speak and write in the Tang dynasty, they'll be happier.
If our fleet is big enough and the things are good enough, they'll be very willing to treat themselves as people of the Tang dynasty. "
Li Yi introduced the situation of the islands. Compared to Guam, there were only a few thousand people.
They were very confused about their own lives. They didn't know what to believe in and kept changing.
If the people of the Tang dynasty went over, they would say that they were people of the Tang dynasty and give them all kinds of good things.
They would naturally think that they were people of the Tang dynasty. If someone led them to live a good life, their faith would be stable.
If there were some particularly smart people who saw through the situation of the Tang dynasty and wanted to use it to achieve their own ruling purposes, it would be very easy.
Assassinate, poison, and get rid of them.
Li Yi thought so. Those who were too smart must be dealt with, no matter the means.
The most gentle way was to ask them to come to the Tang dynasty. They had to come because there would be benefits.
Then, they would live in a place in Chang 'an and never go back because they had too many ideas.
Li Yi was not a saint. He was only helping the people of the Tang dynasty and those who could integrate.
"Are they good at fighting?" Li Longji looked at the map. He wanted to know the other people's combat strength.
"The Winged Knights are good at fighting, but the other soldiers … are too damaged. The soldiers from Guangzhou and Lu Zhou can do it too.
They have a lot of dense forests, and the climate is humid. Ordinary troops will die if they go there.
It's a contrast to the highlands of Tubo. The southwestern region is like that.
That's why I'm giving more benefits to the House of Subjugation in the southwestern region. I'm buying their goods and live animals. "
Li Yi explained the situation openly. The administrative policies of each region were different and adapted to the local conditions.
He could not always bluff people with morals and beliefs. Did the locals not want to live a good life?
Only by giving them a good life would they be able to protect this benefit.
Therefore, anti-corruption, environmental management, and poverty alleviation were the domestic strategies. Foreign trade and exchange of benefits were the international strategies.
When there were no worries in the country, it was time to attack the outside world.
Those with insight could see this. That was why his country was suppressed in all aspects.
Old Russia's biggest mistake was the deal behind the nuclear confrontation. Old Russia gained some benefits, but at the same time, they made concessions in the nuclear confrontation.
This concession caused Old Russia's international status to instantly fall. Both sides were afraid of each other.
However, Old Russia was fooled at that time. They gave up their dignity in the face of a direct confrontation with other benefits.
When they gained those benefits, they lost even more.
It was like two people representing two gangs. Each of them had a knife and were ready to fight.
Then, the people in America said, "I'll give you 1,000 pieces of candy. If you put down your knife first, I'll do the same. Otherwise, we'll stab each other and see who dies first."
Old Russia thought, "1,000 pieces of candy is good. Anyway, everyone will put down their knives." Hence, he agreed and put down his knife first.
The onlookers did not know. When they saw this, they thought, "Oh, Old Russia is scared."
Therefore, the people in America who paid 1,000 pieces of candy received more than 1,000 pieces of candy.
A country was the same as a person. When the knife is used, whoever retreats will be crippled.
The Tang dynasty could not retreat in the southwestern region. Otherwise, they would not be able to hold the other positions.
Li Yi took all these into consideration. A country was strong because of its will!
