Chapter 269 Another time travel reminder
At this time, Zhangsun Wuji took over the conversation: "The Jiangnan Shipyard can be jointly participated by several powerful families, mainly responsible for building large merchant ships to meet the needs of long-distance trade.
Fujian Shipyard focuses on building fast and flexible seagoing vessels that are suitable for flexible responses in ocean trade.
Guangdong Shipyard focuses on developing military-use sea vessels to ensure the safety of maritime trade. Do you have any objections? "
The representatives of the noble families thought for a moment and realized that this was just general talk without any substantive content.
So no one expressed any opinion.
Li Chengqian looked at everyone and said slowly: "For the specific distribution of shares, you can discuss it with Lord Changsun. I will not participate."
After saying this, he thought to himself: This move is not only to prevent himself from being too involved in the specific affairs of interest distribution, but also a test for Changsun Wuji.
He wanted to see how Zhangsun Wuji would make the decision when faced with the balancing of interests between the Guanlong family and other families, and whether he would seek personal gain for the Guanlong family.
If Zhangsun Wuji can handle this matter fairly, it means that he really takes the overall interests of the court as the top priority and is trustworthy;
If he is biased, then you have to re-evaluate his position and loyalty.
After the East Palace finished distributing the benefits, just as everyone was about to leave, the system voice suddenly came...
[The next time I travel through time, I have already decided on the destination. It will be the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when Li Zicheng captured the capital. The destination will be Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty...]
[The number of people that can be carried this time is one thousand...]
[Mission: Completely destroy the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and ensure that the Central Plains will not be occupied by the Qing Dynasty...]
[Duration of this mission: 10 days...]
10 days!
It’s not 3 days anymore!
It turns out that the system can also be flexible!
And this time there are also one thousand people. It seems that the system is also very unhappy with the Qing Dynasty!
In this case, let’s complete the unfinished task of Emperor Chenghua!
But now the matters of land tax distribution and maritime trade have just been ordered, and it took ten days to complete them. Will Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others who traveled through time together miss anything in the arrangement of things because of the extended time?
Otherwise, we might as well not bring the civil officials this time. We are here to kill the Tartars anyway. Even if the physical fitness of a few civil officials is greatly improved, their absence will not affect the overall situation.
Looking at Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others who were about to leave, Li Chengqian did not call them to stop.
Instead, he asked the eunuch to notify Li Shimin, Li Jing and others to come and join him.
Anyway, after traveling through time, the time in the Tang Dynasty will stop. When they come back after disappearing for ten days, it will only be a moment.
Soon, Li Shimin, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others arrived.
Li Shimin thought that there was a problem in the discussion of interest distribution, but when he saw Cheng Yaojin and others were there, he immediately thought that he was going to travel through time again.
But there was no Changsun Wuji and others in the crowd...
"What happened? Didn't you inform your uncle and the others?"
Li Chengqian explained the reason, but Li Jing shook his head after listening: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of disappointing Lord Changsun and the others by doing this?"
"Why are you so upset? Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang are also in Liaodong and the Peninsula. They were unable to participate in the last time we traveled."
"Everyone has their own mission. Isn't the Tang Dynasty's affairs important?"
Li Shimin took over the conversation: "But after traveling through time, the time and space of the Tang Dynasty has condensed, right? It shouldn't affect it!"
Li Chengqian replied: "I am afraid that it will affect their mood. After all, the land tax and maritime trade require their power to implement, so it is best not to be distracted."
Li Shimin and Li Jing looked at each other and wanted to say something else.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin interrupted and said, "Your Highness, what is the destination of this time travel?"
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the mission was to overthrow the newly rising Qing Dynasty."
Cheng Yaojin continued: "That means we are going to fight a war!"
"Yes, what do you want to say?" Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Yaojin with a questioning look in his eyes.
Li Jing seemed to understand what Cheng Yaojin meant and said, "It won't be difficult to destroy the Qing Dynasty if we can bring a thousand men with us this time. Since we have ten days, it is likely that we will not only fight a war. I think it is better to bring Lord Changsun and his men with us. Perhaps they can be of use."
Li Chengqian was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"
Li Jing cupped his hands and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to completely clean up the Great Qing?"
Li Chengqian was stunned at first, then he immediately reacted: "You mean we are responsible for fighting, and uncle and his men are responsible for cleaning up the Tartars in the rear?"
Li Jing nodded: "That's right. Every profession has its own specialties. Civil officials are more careful in handling specific matters, so they can help Your Highness find out the shortcomings and make up for them."
Li Chengqian sighed: "Well, come, go and invite Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others..."
He knew in his heart that Li Jing's considerations did make sense.
In this cleanup operation, civil officials and military generals must perform their respective duties in order to better complete the task.
Soon, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others returned.
When they saw that Li Shimin, Li Jing and others were also present, they immediately thought of traveling through time again.
There was anticipation and a hint of nervousness in their eyes.
Seeing that everyone was present, Li Chengqian said, "You can bring 1000 people with you on this journey. Your mission is to thoroughly clean up the newly rising Qing Dynasty, buy time before the civil strife in China ends, and prevent the Central Plains from being destroyed by foreign races again."
His voice was steady and powerful, revealing firm determination.
As he said this, he looked at Zhangsun Wuji and the others and said, "So, the main task this time is to kill people, no matter if they are soldiers or the elderly, weak, women or children, no one should be spared.
Uncle, I'll leave the cleanup work to you and Mr. Fang."
His eyes were fixed on Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, waiting for their responses.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other. They really didn't expect that their mission this time was to massacre civilians!
I couldn't help but feel a complex emotion welling up in my heart.
However, they also understood Li Chengqian's considerations. For the future of the Tang Dynasty and for the stability of China, sometimes difficult choices must be made.
Seeing that they did not respond immediately, Li Chengqian said seriously: "Uncle, I know this is difficult for you, but we have to do this.
If the Qing Dynasty rises, it will bring great disaster to the Central Plains.
We cannot let history repeat itself and must eradicate them before they become too powerful.”
Fang Xuanling also said: "Your Highness, I am not in a dilemma, but there are only ten days left, and you must use most of your troops in the war, so I don't have anyone!"
Li Chengqian thought about what he was going to say!
He raised his chin slightly and said confidently: "Please rest assured, uncle. The core area of the Qing Dynasty is similar to Goguryeo in our period. There are many Han people living under the slavery of the Tartars. Uncle only needs to mobilize these oppressed Han people, and there will be no shortage of manpower."
