According to the previous situation of the navy, it was indeed a few years before the warships could be used until they had a certain scale. But now, the situation is different, or in Li Qing's heart, the situation has long been different.

When Hong Yuan's letter arrived in Chang'an City, Li Qing was naturally very happy after reading it. After receiving Hong Yuan's letter, he immediately found Xu Yuan and Lei Wanchun who followed him to Henan Road. Although the previous words had been said, Li Qing still had to let his confidants recognize this matter first and then speak on a large scale.

The day after Hong Yuan's letter arrived, Li Neng arranged wine and food in his Tai Chi Palace. Several people talked about the affairs of Japan while eating.

Even though he had already investigated the affairs of Japan, Li Neng was still very surprised. He had never expected that the Japanese would have such great courage. This would allow them to destroy the country. But they not only did it, but they would have to do it for a few years, or even longer.

"General Lei, the last time we returned to Chang'an City, have you generals and officials of the Ministry of War ever thought that Japan is just outside our Tang Dynasty. If we really can't move them for three or five years, even among my courtiers, I will be unable to raise my head at all, right?"

With Lei Wanchun and Xu Yuan’s understanding of Li Qing over the years, it must be something he cares about when he has been particularly concerned about, otherwise, it would be basically impossible.

But what is Li Qing’s concern now? Isn’t it just to fight Japan? Xu Yuan and Lei Wanchun both knew that Li Qing’s desire for this matter should be quite strong, so once he had any solutions, he would definitely want to implement it as soon as possible.

"If we rely on our own warships, we have to wait for about two years, but since the Japanese are so dishonest, even if we have to wait for three or four years, we can't let them pass by so easily in these three or four years, right?"

After hearing what Li Yan said, Xu Yuan was stunned at first, and then suddenly said: "Your Majesty's thoughts are similar to those of our Tang Dynasty officials, but now all the Japanese in the Tang Dynasty have been sentenced. Just those merchants who have not returned, Your Majesty can't kill them if they are the people of the Japanese. This is not a good thing for our Tang Dynasty."

"Don't worry, if we destroy Japan, we will not kill all their people. We are the country. If we want to do it, we will destroy their courts and dismiss their emperor. The people are still the people, but the people who manage their people must be our Tang people!"

The way Li Yan said was still very thoughtful to Xu Yuan and Lei Wanchun. It must be that the Tang Dynasty has reached such a level. No matter what you do, you don’t have to kill people anymore. As long as you do the step of killing people well, it’s enough, and you don’t have to kill people anymore.

"Is it because His Majesty already has a scheming in his heart?"

"You seem to have forgotten a little. Because of their pretentiousness, Japan's relationship with Silla and Bohai countries is basically very bad. Before, because everyone was a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty, there was no dispute. It just occasionally quarrels. Now Japan has almost offended our Tang Dynasty. If Silla and Bohai countries do not take any action against Japan, it is nothing more than being afraid of the military strength of Japan. But if we blow the wind next to us, with the ability of Silla and Bohai countries, it may not be impossible to let the Japanese suffer."

After Li Yan said this, they both understood that he was making him whisper. If he couldn't go, he would send his younger brother to clean up Japan.

However, they didn't expect Li Yan to borrow them to fight Japan before. After all, what is the Tang Dynasty's current status? If the Tang Dynasty wants to fight, it must have to do it himself. As for other forces to help him, he still doesn't like it.

"With that being said, how could Bohai Kingdom and Silla willingly use their warships and soldiers to attack Japan with all their strength? It was just under pressure from His Majesty."

"As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food. As long as we know what they are missing, we can give them some at will, and this will be done. If the results are good, our warships may not have to go too much, just take over them."

After hearing this, they finally understood that Li Yi was obviously asking him to use money to solve the problem. Li Yi had said before that problems that could be solved with money were not a problem. At that time, they did not understand what this was, but at this time, he finally understood that indescribably, money was not a problem for the Tang Dynasty in this situation.

But for Silla and Bohai Kingdom, this is not the case. They need too much money and even more various resources provided by the Tang Dynasty, so they are actually very good thugs.

"If Silla and Bohai cannot do anything to Japan, I heard that Japan has always been arrogant when dating these two countries, but neither of these two countries dared to say anything, I'm afraid they are not opponents of Japan!"

The officials of the Tang Dynasty have really ignored the international relations around the Tang Dynasty, especially recently, many of them have really put some effort into all aspects of Japan, so naturally they know that Japan has a bad relationship with the two surrounding brothers.

"If they fight head-on, they will naturally not be able to do anything to Japan, but we have to let them and Japan know that we are silently supporting this matter behind our backs, and we cannot give all the benefits to Silla and Bohai. You have to come little by little and hold them a little so that they can truly contribute to our Tang Dynasty. As for how to operate it, it is your business."

Li Yi's meaning is already very obvious, that is, he is not good at calculating things, and this kind of thing must be done by Xu Yuan and Zhang Xun. Li Yi believes that they understand themselves and the strength of Japan.

Since I want to use this method now, it is not that Silla and Bohai Kingdom can only help the Tang Dynasty harass Japan in the past few years.
