Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Your Majesty, Taiwan and the Tang Dynasty face each other across the sea, and are only a few hundred miles apart. Although Daqi's navy is now strong, the Tang Dynasty's navy has also developed very rapidly in recent years, and has posed a threat to Taiwan.  The situation in the two countries will change in one day, and our capital of Da Qi will be directly exposed to the gunfire of the Tang Dynasty navy. Therefore, I think it is time to consider moving the capital!" Seeing Li Min's silence for a long time, Liu Rengui finally spoke again  He couldn't help but speak.

    This time Liu Rengui came to see Li Min mainly for the purpose of moving the capital.  Speaking of which, this matter has been quarreling among the political opinions of Daqi for many years. Taiwan is very good in all aspects, but it has one biggest shortcoming, that is, it is too close to the Tang Dynasty. When Li Shimin was in power, the two countries had no relationship at all.  There is no possibility of conflict, so there is no problem, but now with the expansion of the Tang Dynasty's navy, Taiwan, which is close to the Tang Dynasty, has suddenly become unsafe, so some people have proposed to move the capital a few years ago.

    Hearing Liu Rengui¡¯s words, Li Min finally raised his head, but his eyes only paused on Liu Rengui¡¯s face for a moment, then looked at Wang An next to him and asked: ¡°Master, do you think it is appropriate to move the capital now?¡±

    Although Wang An is old, he is not confused. He had been thinking about this matter just now when he was sitting there. Now when he heard Li Min ask him, he immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think Liu Xiangyan  It makes sense, our Daqi dominates the Pacific Ocean, America, Australia, and even Southeast Asia are more suitable to be the capital of Daqi than Taiwan, so I think it is time to move the capital!"

    Hearing Wang An¡¯s words, Li Min also sighed in his heart, regarding the land of Taiwan.  No matter it comes from the feelings of later generations, it is still his first base for overseas expansion.  He is full of feelings for this place, but now with the development of the situation.  Daqi has already occupied places such as the Americas, Australia, and Southeast Asia. From a territorial point of view, Taiwan seems a bit remote. To put it more seriously, it has affected Daqi's rule over the Americas, Australia and other regions.  Coupled with the rise of the Tang Dynasty's navy, Taiwan's security has also become a problem. Now it is time to relocate.

    Thinking of this, Li Min felt a little helpless in his heart. Speaking of it, the overall relationship between Datang and Daqi was not bad.  Although there are some frictions at sea, it does not affect the overall situation. At least now, his brotherly relationship with Li Zhi is still very close.  But again, there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests.  When the two countries get along, they must consider the worst side. Therefore, the capital of Daqi must not be placed under the gunfire of the Tang Dynasty navy.

    "It seems it's time to implement the final plan!" Li Min suddenly sighed and said to himself at the end. When Li Shimin passed away, he had already thought of a way to resolve the contradiction between the four countries.  It's just that the time wasn't ripe yet, so he waited for so many years.

    Hearing Li Min's words, Wang An's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and an astonishing light flashed in his eyes.  Even his usually calm face showed a bit of excitement.  In contrast, Liu Rengui did not understand the meaning of Li Min's words, and looked at Li Min and Wang An in confusion for a while.

    After Li Min muttered to himself.  Turning to Liu Rengui, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I agree to the move of the capital. But do the courtiers have any suggestions for the choice of the capital?"

    Although Liu Rengui didn¡¯t understand the meaning of Li Min¡¯s previous sentence.  But now that he heard Li Min's agreement, he cheered up and stepped forward again: "Your Majesty, I have already made several candidates for the capital, including two in Nanyang, namely Manila and Coconut City.  In Australia, there are Nan'ao City and Moli City. There are also proposals to build a new capital in America. However, most courtiers believe that America is too far from Nanyang and Australia, and the level of development is not high, so it is best to choose a new capital in America.  Southeast Asia and Australia!"

    "Very good, these cities are all good, and they all have a certain foundation. Establishing them as the capital can save a lot of manpower and material resources for transformation!" Li Min nodded after hearing this, and looked at the territory of Daqi and the economies of various places.  , judging from the level of civilization, Nanyang and Australia are indeed more suitable for establishing capitals.

    But then Li Min spoke again: "It's just that the matter of moving the capital is related to the stability of the country and the future governance of various places, so it must not be careless. In this way, Mr. Liu, you can choose a few trustworthy people and let them establish it."  A 'capital relocation inspection team' will go to the selected cities to see what the conditions are like in all aspects of the city? After they come back, we will select a city to be the capital based on their reports!  "

    "This" Liu Rengui looked up at Li Min with some confusion. Although the performance of the emperor in front of him seemed normal, for some reason, he always felt like being perfunctory by Li Min. It was a pity that Liu Rengui couldn't handle it at all.  After producing the evidence, he finally had to agree, "As ordered, I will do it now!"

    After Liu Rengui retreated, Wang An, who had been sitting there, suddenly stood up.Lai excitedly said to Li Min: "Your Majesty, have you really decided to implement that plan?"

    Li Min smiled and nodded: "I have been waiting for this opportunity back then, and now it is finally the time. Otherwise, if the Four Kingdoms are allowed to develop like this, I am afraid that our brothers will turn against each other in the end. My father, the emperor, is still alive in heaven. I'm afraid  It will also be very sad!¡±

    That night, Li Min wrote letters to Li Ke, Li Yun, and Li Zhen respectively. There was no other content in the letter. He just told them that he had something extremely important to meet with them. The location was still chosen.  Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, and after Li Min sent the letter, he went on the road alone. Except for telling Wen Xin in advance, no one else knew about his itinerary.

    Li Min traveled in casual clothes this time, and except for a few loyal guards, there was no one else following him.  And this time he didn't take his own steamer "Qihuang". Instead, like ordinary people, he bought a ticket for a passenger ship at the shipyard in Keelung Port, and then boarded a steamer named "Ping'an"  Steam passenger ship, this ship will arrive in Dengzhou, where Li Min will change ships, enter the Bohai Sea and reach the Yellow River.

    Because he was worried that he would be recognized by others, Li Min put on makeup, mainly because he cut his hair into a short hair.  It looks similar to the hairstyle of later generations.  It seems that as these concepts change, more and more people feel that long hair is too difficult to manage.  Especially those living in hot areas, coupled with those sailors.  Therefore, bald heads and short hair became popular throughout Daqi. At least half of the ten men had their long hair cut off.

    Although Li Min also thinks that short hair is easier to take care of than long hair, hair is a part of the body. The traditional concept is that cutting hair is harming one's body, and it is also an unfilial act. In addition, short hair is not  It conforms to the aesthetics of ordinary Han people, so as a role model for the world, he can only keep his long hair.

    This time Li Min just didn¡¯t want others to recognize him.  So he simply cut off his hair and changed the style of his beard. In this way, the whole person suddenly seemed to be a different person. Unless someone was particularly familiar with him, otherwise he would not be able to recognize him at all.

    After cutting his hair into the familiar short hair, Li Min felt that his whole person suddenly took on a new look, his head felt much lighter, and his walking steps became brisker.  He even deliberately walked around the deck of the Ping An, only to find that there were quite a few passengers with short hair on the ship, and his current appearance was simply inconspicuous.

    Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Li Min finally felt relieved.  Then he began to look at the steamship he was riding on.  Ping An is a passenger ship under the name of Yifan Shipping. It is also a new ship that just launched into the sea this year. The performance of the ship is very reliable.  Li Min had heard Yifan talk about this a long time ago, which was one of the reasons why he chose this boat.

    ??Speaking of a sailing ship.  This is the first boat company in the world to use steam ships, co-founded by Li Min and Zhao Yifan.  After so many years of development, Yifan Shipping has become the largest shipping company in Daqi. There are Yifan Shipping ships sailing on almost every route. Even Li Min did not expect this at the beginning.

    It is worth mentioning that a few years ago, Yifan suddenly gave birth to a baby boy. The father of the child was unknown, which caused many people to speculate. Later, Yifan was very annoyed by the harassers, so he told the gentleman at the newspaper,  His child's name is Li Zhi.  Everyone immediately shut up. Occasionally when they chatted about this matter with their friends in private, they would involuntarily glance in the direction of the palace.

    Just when Li Min was leaning against the side of the ship and thinking about something, a burst of children's screams suddenly came from not far away, and then he felt a black ball above his head, and a ball the size of a human head flew towards his head, but before he could wait,  The ball fell on his head, and a young and burly guard next to him immediately stepped forward, stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and grabbed the ball at once.

    It was only then that Li Min discovered that on the deck not far in front of him, a group of children were staring dumbfounded at the ball in the hands of the guards in front of him. They were the ones who screamed just now.  It seemed that these children had accidentally kicked the ball away, and when they were about to hit Li Min, they didn't expect to be caught by someone's hands, which made them look so shocked.

    Li Min looked at the cute children in front of him and couldn't help but think of the children at home. Speaking of which, Chou Chou and Li Qi and other older ones were married. Among them, Chou Chou married Li Yexu's son, whose name was Li Yexu.  Li Zhongxin was bullied by Chou Chou since he was a child. Later, for some unknown reason, the two young men developed feelings, so Li Min took the initiative and saved them both. However, when he married his daughter, Li Min felt like himself.  It felt like the most precious treasure had been stolen. It was even more uncomfortable than watching Si Zi get married.

    As for Li Qi, Li Mian and others, they all married the daughters of noble families, and they all had children of their own, making Li Min now a grandfather.Senior.

    Thinking of the children at home, Li Min couldn't help but feel a little dazed, but the little guys in front of him couldn't wait any longer, and immediately shouted: "Uncle, could you please throw the ball over?"

    Hearing the screams of the children, Li Min finally came to his senses. He agreed with a smile and took the ball from the guard beside him. But at this time, he also became playful. Speaking of which, he hadn't kicked a ball in many years.  Football now.

    Therefore, I saw Li Min let go of the football and then kicked it out. As expected, his footwork was comparable to that of later generations of national football players. The ball drew a light arc in the air, then flew across the deck with incomparable accuracy, and landed suddenly.  When they reached the sea on the other side, the younger ones among the children saw that they had no ball. They all looked at Li Min with aggrieved eyes, and finally cried out "Wow~"!  (To be continued)
