Datang Longya

Chapter 467
Civil and military officials followed the prestige, only to see that the speaker was Leng Feng, Duke of the State of Xi.

Gong Guo participates in state affairs discussions?It's really a strange thing!

Li Shimin was very angry today, and he didn't notice that Leng Feng also came to the court meeting, but since he said it, there is probably a way.

"Leng Feng, what can you do? Tell me quickly!"

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it has seldom lost a battle, let alone lost most of it!Li Shimin is so angry that he is going crazy now.

Leng Feng stood up: "The purpose of the envoys coming to Datang before was very clear, that is, to find out the reality of gunpowder weapons. However, they were distracted by the football game, not to mention, they rarely took time to act once, and suffered a big loss. Now Their abnormal attack is likely to force out Datang's gunpowder weapons on the battlefield."

When Leng Feng said this, Li Shimin and all the officials nodded.

Reasonable!If they were Tuli and others, they would do the same. There is nothing that can put pressure on a country like war.This time the war came at an inopportune time!The Turks are nomadic peoples, and they are at their strongest when the grass is yellow and the horses are fat. Now that they are out of reach, why do they send troops?

Li Shimin sighed: "Then what should we do? Are we going to follow their ideas and use gunpowder weapons on a large scale to fight against them? Although gunpowder weapons can indeed achieve the greatest effect with the least number of people, but..."

Li Shimin didn't want to admit that although gunpowder weapons were military weapons, he still didn't want to use them on a large scale.Gunpowder weapons are really terrible. Although I have not personally experienced the battlefield, the horror of gunpowder weapons can also be seen in the report brought back by my confidant Wuli Sima.

Human-level thunder, the central team must die, and the peripheral team may die or be injured.

Earth-level thunder, destroying mountains and mountains, shaking heaven and earth, even the city wall of Gaochang was blasted into a huge gap by a thunder.

This is a double-edged sword, extremely sharp externally, but also terrifying internally. Although the production line of gunpowder weapons is now firmly controlled by him, he is still very worried. It is no exaggeration to say, If 5 people were equipped with gunpowder weapons, that would be enough to drag him, the emperor, from the throne.

Leng Feng thought for a while before saying: "To deal with the two Western Turkic families, only 1 people are enough. Although the treasury's food and grass are insufficient, there is still money, so let's fight with money!"

"Use money to fight?" The civil servants were all ready to express their opposition to sending troops, but when they heard the news, they didn't know how to object.

Play with money?How to play with money?
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, do you want to fight with money?It's time to verify whether money is everything.

Before that, Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin used money to go to the frontier. Judging from the results, it is not unfeasible to use money to fight wars.

The grain and grass in the treasury are also collected from taxes, and those grains and grass are only part of the world's agricultural output.

It is not difficult for officers and soldiers to spend money to buy grain from the people along the road. The landlords don't care who receives the grain, as long as you pay for it.As for the rewards of the soldiers, apart from official positions that cannot be bought with money, the rewards of military merit can also be settled with money.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it, but it still needs to be tested to see if it can be implemented. Right now is a good opportunity.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have requested an order, and I am willing to bring an army equipped with gunpowder weapons to the north to fight this battle!"

The generals all looked at Changsun Wuji with strange eyes
Changsun Wuji is now a member of the civil service team. He is a civil servant, why is he clamoring for an expedition at this time?
Li Shimin waved his hand: "Wuji stepped back, I have already made a decision about the candidate for going north."

Civil servants should set the country safe, and military commanders should gallop on the battlefield. Whether it is Li Daozong or Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin has no idea of ​​giving them military power again.

After scanning the group of generals, Li Shimin confirmed the candidate: "Yu Chigong, Liu Hongji."

Yu Chigong and Liu Hongji came out: "The end is here!"

Li Shimin nodded. Since Liu Hongji became the Duke of the State, he has not made any outstanding achievements. As for Yu Chigong, Li Shimin really likes this general he recruited, and he must think of him first when doing good things.

"I order you two"

After Li Shimin gave the order, Li Xiaogong stood up: "Your Majesty, do you want to send out the Dragon Tooth Army or the Dragon Scale Army? If you use gunpowder weapons, the Dragon Tooth Army or the Dragon Scale Army are more suitable."

Li Shimin shook his head: "No need, that's it."

Lee Hyo-gong can only step back
Leng Feng went on to say: "The Dragon Tooth Army and the Dragon Scale Army are pioneers in the use of gunpowder weapons, and they have experience in the use of gunpowder weapons. If we don't send them, why don't we let soldiers who don't understand go to the battlefield like this?"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "I don't think gunpowder weapons are difficult to use. It's very simple to shoot arrows and throw mines. Could it be that other soldiers can't do it? Not to mention, as early as last year, the imperial court had already issued orders to various state capitals. The soldiers' archery and stone-throwing skills practice. After a year has passed, it should have paid off."

Leng Feng hesitated, "But."

But Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently: "That's it, order Jinglei Division, prepare the army's Jinglei and Jinglei arrows as soon as possible, and there are two ground-level thunders! Tuli and the others want to see them, so I will let them see them." Witness the power of the thunder weapon."

After some discussion, Li Shimin ended the court meeting, leaving only Leng Feng behind. When the two walked to the stone pavilion in the imperial garden, Li Shimin took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve: "This is the Ashina family. Please read the letter to me."

Leng Feng opened the parchment, and the crooked, but graceful characters were very similar to the words on his letter.

It should be Ashina Ayi's handwritten letter, the letter is not long, just a sentence: "Tuli's troops are assembled, it seems that they want to attack Tang, tell Leng Feng that he owes me another favor!"

Looking at this passage, Leng Feng couldn't laugh or cry: "You don't believe me?"

Li Shimin nodded: "I really can't think of any reason for the Tuli family to attack Datang, and I can't think of any reason for the Ashina family to disclose this news, just to make you owe a favor?"

Leng Feng said helplessly: "It's not been a day or two since the Ashina family and the Tuli family have been at odds. Why can't they reveal the Tuli family's movements?"

Li Shimin looked at Leng Feng with a look of caring for a fool: "Think clearly, they are all grassland people. Although you helped the Ashina family defeat the attack of the Tuli family, they are still the same family. To them, we They are foreigners!"

　The author's mood has been dominated by his girlfriend recently. Four thousand a day is already trying his best, sorry.
