Tang Dynasty: Father, if you don't rebel, I will!

"With the removal of Kim Yu-sin and Ekcheon Rang who were blocking the way, the Silla military now has no chance of holding on, but Baekje and Goguryeo are pressing closer and closer."

"My elder brother, the Crown Prince, has given me such great power, allowing me to manage Silla. Even though things are still unclear in many aspects, I must give you a firm order!"

night.

Inside the Lord's Mansion of Dongbai City.

The city lord's mansion has now become Li Yin's residence.

As for the original city lord, Jiang Mingzun, he moved back to his own residence.

In a small courtyard of the city lord's mansion, Li Yin stood in front of a signboard with a map of Silla, facing thirty or forty elite officers from the Tang Dynasty.

His expression was solemn.

"The land of Silla, whatever its original value, must be returned to the same extent after our Great Tang takes it over!"

"I am not knowledgeable in military affairs and will not do anything foolish like an amateur commanding experts. I can provide you with food supplies, medicine, and weapons to ensure you can perform to your full potential."

"And you, you must prove the might of the soldiers of our Great Tang Dynasty! Understand?!"

Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui, and the other officers present all stood up straight in an instant.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness! We will certainly not fail in our mission!"

Li Yin nodded.

Then he gestured for everyone to sit down.

"Now that we've finished discussing the war, let me talk about something else."

"Although Kim Yu-sin's words are harsh, there is one thing we must take seriously: most of Silla's original soldiers are laborers who don't know how to fight and have been conscripted into Silla."

"I don't want my royal brother to go through all that trouble, squeezing out a batch of soldiers from our Great Tang from our homeland for me, so... you must take these soldiers from Silla seriously!"

"I will take care of winning over the hearts and minds of the people in the rear, and as for you, I do not want to hear of any mutiny among your soldiers!"

......

Li Yin acted so quickly that the Silla royal court officials didn't have enough time to react.

With the help of the connections and intelligence gathered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard in secret over the past two years.

Although the Tang Dynasty sent reinforcements to Silla, apart from some artisans and civil officials to assist in management, the number was no more than 20,000.

However, under the command of elite Tang Dynasty officers such as Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui.

However, they all took over the defense of Silla.

"Your Highness, the Park clan of Silla from the capital has sent gifts again, including some rather rare furs and ginseng..."

Di Renquan entered Li Yin's study.

However, Li Yin, who was flipping through some bamboo slips and silk scrolls sent by Jiang Mingzun that recorded the population and tax situation in the southeastern coastal area, simply waved his hand casually.

"Just register it and put it in the database. There's no need to make a special announcement about this kind of thing in the future."

Di Renquan respectfully agreed.

Seeing Li Yin's serious expression, I felt a surge of motivation.

His Highness the Crown Prince is a diligent and benevolent ruler.

His Highness Prince Liang, whom he entrusted with this important task, was indeed quite capable...

"Your Highness, as you instructed, General Liu Rengui has already returned with his fleet. In about half a month, he will send us the next batch of grain and other supplies."

Li Yin finally raised his head, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

After a long while, he suddenly spoke.

"Recently, you should conduct a survey and registration of the Silla people in the areas we control who can read and write Chinese characters. My royal brother once said that if we want to completely eliminate a people, their writing and language are of paramount importance!"

That night.

After a busy day, Li Yin returned to his bedroom.

Looking at Kim Seung-man, who immediately became respectful, even humble, and hurriedly came up to help him undress and prepare for a bath, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, he grabbed the other person's arm.

"Huh... you didn't bring a knife?"

Li Yin looked Jin Shengman up and down with a half-smile, noticing that she seemed a bit weaker and paler these past few days.

The other person's gentle and weak appearance was almost unrecognizable compared to when she plotted against him in Taiyuan Prefecture.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you're talking about..."

Li Yin raised an eyebrow: "Your Majesty? Ha, where did you get that title from?"

He flung his hand away, swatting away the other person's hand that was trying to undress him.

As he took off his coat, he sneered.

"You don't actually think that I'm keeping you by my side because I'm interested in you, do you? You'd better drop that ridiculous idea. My brother can't stand people from two different countries in this world..."

He looked down at Kim Seung-man, who was kneeling on the ground, humbly taking off his shoes.

He snorted coldly.

"Japan is one, and there's another... that's your Silla!"

Kim Seung-man trembled: "Your Highness, Silla will obey. I beg you to be merciful. Whether it is you or His Highness the Crown Prince, whatever you want to do, my sister will support you... Please, don't kill my sister."

"Oh? I won't kill your sister, then how about killing Kim Yu-shin and his men?"

Kim Seung-man: "......"

"See, you're not happy about it again."

Li Yin sneered.

However, the next moment, Kim Seung-man suddenly looked up with tears in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I'd rather give my own life than lose my sister's and uncle's."

Li Yin raised an eyebrow in surprise: "What? Suddenly you're not afraid of death?"

"I fear death, but I fear my sister and uncle's deaths even more."

Looking at Kim Seung-man, who appeared delicate and pitiful, Li Yin's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist.

"Here, you just need to drink it all."

Jin Shengman looked at the small porcelain bottle in front of her, and her hand began to tremble as she took it.

This chapter is not finished. I'm posting it now because I'm afraid it will be past midnight. I'll finish it soon.

I'm not feeling well today, so I've finished posting the update. Sorry.
