The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2162 Bring More Books
When Cheng Yaojin asked people to send these military-related books to Taiji Palace, Li Shimin held the books and kept looking at them.

The more he looked, the more startled he became.

These books are really good.

So good that he didn't care about it.

Moreover, he also discovered that there was actually something about exercises in this book.

When I found this, I couldn't help but patted my thigh.

And shouted: "Why haven't I discovered it before! How can such a good book let it be dusted?"

After all, such a good book must be known to everyone.

If it had been known earlier, and the drills had been done in advance, perhaps the Western Turks would not suddenly attack Datang now.

Regarding this matter, Li Shimin's mood is complicated.

In the past, he stayed in the library and read more economic-related books, and he read very few military-related books.

Now finally there are some books that he can check, which makes Li Shimin very excited.

You can't let him watch it alone.

I want to show it to other ministers, but there is only one set of these books, and he wants more books, so he thought of calling him.

Then he picked up his cell phone and dialed Wei Zheng's number.

At this time, Wei Zheng was still in the Shengtang Group.He handles some business.

When he received a call from Li Shimin, he was shocked.

At this time, Li Shimin actually called, which made him a little flustered.After all, it is rare for Li Shimin to take the initiative to call himself.Li Shimin was approached by himself and offered some suggestions to Li Shimin.

Now the situation is directly opposite.

This made him a little scared, and Cheng Yaojin was also present at this time.He looked at Wei Zheng, and asked when he was holding the phone and was not ready to answer it.

"Who is calling! Hurry up and pick it up, is it sir?"

In fact, he was very curious about who made the call, and hoped that it was Li Yin who called, because if Li Yin called, then he could go back early.

But Wei Zheng said, "No, His Majesty is calling."

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin was at a loss, "Why didn't your majesty call me? He called you instead. Does he have any intentions?"

For Li Shimin's behavior, Cheng Yaojin expressed his incomprehension.

Obviously he came to talk about Wei Zheng by himself, but now Li Shimin actually found Wei Zheng directly.This made him very unhappy.

But if you are unhappy, you are not happy.

He still said: "Just pick up the phone, maybe His Majesty has something to ask you for?"

After Cheng Yaojin said that, Wei Zheng reluctantly picked up the phone.

"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"

he asked suspiciously.

Li Shimin paused on the other end of the phone for a while, and said, "I have something I want to talk to you about!"

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

"About these military books, how many military-related books do you have!?"

"There are all libraries. The number may be around tens of thousands!"

"Is every book different?"

"Yes, it is!"

With tens of thousands of military-related books, Li Shimin gasped at this moment.

"So what you gave me is good or bad?"

"Your Majesty, these books are good, and I usually read them. That's why I recommend them to you!"

Wei Zheng said so.

"Okay, I'm going to print some more of these books, 100 copies of each! No, 200 copies. Is that okay?"

Li Shimin said so.

But Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, no!"

"why?"

"why?"

"Each of these books is quite unique. And these books are supplied to other libraries. If His Majesty wants it, it may take some time for us to print it again."

"Delay? How many days did you say!"

"It will probably take about 7-8 days!"

"Seven days is too late."

Li Shimin said immediately.

Now the Turks are invading themselves.

After seven or eight days, it was too late.

He also wanted the generals to learn some military knowledge here.

Regardless of whether Cheng Yaojin has Li Yin's support or not, these things are very important.

What use does he want these books for?He now wants to use these books in the hands of officials, so that officials can study hard.It is helpful to improve the combat effectiveness of the war.

So just now I want Wei Zheng to print more.

But Wei Zheng made it clear.

It takes seven or eight days to print 100 copies.

Li Shimin felt a little unbelievable in his heart.Because it is too slow.

"Can you go faster?" Li Shimin asked again.

At this time Wei Zheng said no again.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, do you know how much manpower and material resources it takes to print a book? Printing a book is not as simple as you think, and the book is hundreds of pages at every turn. If you want to do it well, it is not difficult. , but it is very time consuming.”

Hearing what Wei Zheng said, Li Shimin didn't say anything more.

"That's all right! I'll have people copy these books, they're faster than you can print them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is right!"

Wei Zheng said immediately.

"Okay! Let's do it then."

So Li Shimin immediately decided to let people copy these basic military-related books.But there will always be some flaws in the copied things, but he can't control that much.He directly ordered the literate people in the palace to copy those books and military books.

At this time, everyone is depressed.

This... this can still be like this.

Everyone is miserable.

Don't bring that.

When Wei Zheng saw Li Shimin hung up the phone, he was relieved.

And Cheng Yaojin came over and asked, "What did Your Majesty say?"

"More military books!" Wei Zheng said.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll just ask. I thought it was a call from my husband just now, which made me happy." Cheng Yaojin finally said.

He can hope that Li Yin will call soon.

But not like this.

"Mister is not so fast yet, we have to wait." Wei Zheng said.

"Yes, then I understand, I will wait here."

Then he turned and sat on the chair.

Just as he sat down, Wei Zheng's phone rang again.

Cheng Yaojin jumped up from his chair.

He ran over to look.

At this time Wei Zheng hadn't looked at the phone yet.

But when Cheng Yaojin saw the phone number, he stepped aside.

Because at this time Li Shimin called again.

He doesn't want to stay here anymore.

Li Shimin is so annoying.

"Your Majesty, I am Wei Zheng."

"Wei Zheng, have you contacted your husband?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

This may be the first time that Li Shimin talked about Li Yin so actively.

"Well, sir, it will take a while, maybe a stick of incense." Wei Zheng said hastily.

"Why? Where is he, why can't he answer the phone now?"

"Your Majesty, this is an appointment we made with Mr. to find him at a fixed time every day. And he will postpone everything. If we call him now, we may not be able to find him yet."

What Wei Zheng said seems to be reasonable.

"Okay, I got it, this matter has to be done quickly, now the army is ready, and we are waiting for your things." Li Shimin said.

He has never been so thirsty for weapons as he is today.

Because the Turks are very arrogant now.

He wants to get rid of these people.

Let them know what dominance is.

What is strong.

"I understand."

"By the way, I still want to print those books, one thousand sets each, this matter has to be done quickly, the sooner the better, you know?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Now that Li Shimin is voluntarily coming, can Wei Zheng still say no?
"Be quick, the sooner the better!"

Li Shimin finally said that he really needed these books.

"Understood, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I won't talk anymore, lest you dislike me and talk too much."

Li Shimin finally said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

No matter what Wei Zheng said, he said yes.

Because there is no need to discuss it with him.

"That's right, all right, send it directly to the palace."

"What about the money?"

"I'll ask Dai Zhou to order it from you, and you can print it first!"

"Yes!"

Finally, Li Shimin hung up the phone.

And about a stick of incense time.

Cheng Yaojin walked over.

"Okay? Can I call my husband now?"

Cheng Yaojin asked.

"Okay, almost."

Wei Zheng looked at the time, it was almost time.

Then he dialed Li Yin's phone number.

At this time, Li Yin just got up.

As soon as he received Wei Zheng's call, he knew that Wei Zheng must have encountered a problem, otherwise, he would not have called himself.

Then he asked, "Wei Zheng, what's the matter with you?"

"Sir, I have something to tell you!"

"Speak, I'll listen!"

"Sir, I won't disturb you, will I?"

"No, just say it."

"Today, news came from the court that the Western Turks attacked Tingzhou. Now the court is organizing troops to attack the Turks."

"Really? The Turkic people are really a headache."

The borders of the Tang Dynasty have been in a state of war or on the brink of war from the moment of the establishment of the dynasty until the demise of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Turkic forces are coveting the territory of the Tang Dynasty, coveting the fertile land and population.

Therefore, the Turkic people can be regarded as wolves with ambitions, and they can't accept it no matter what.

The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks was in the process of separation and reunion, and finally broke down. The Turks brought great hidden dangers to the stability of the Tang Dynasty.At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in order to reduce the war, reduce the loss of troops, and deal with the rebellion of the remaining forces in various places, Li Yuan adopted a soft policy towards the Turks.

And it is because of this that the Turkic people think that Datang is easy to bully.

The Turkic people have great ambitions, and their desire for power will never be fulfilled. Therefore, there are frequent frictions between the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic people. The most serious incident was when hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops went south and went straight to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which dealt a heavy blow to the Tang government. .

At that time, when Li Shimin first came to power, he also signed the Weishui alliance.

This time, Li Shimin must subdue the Turks, preferably until the country is destroyed.

"Who started it this time?"

"It's Ashina Helu!"

"He Lu is the fifth grandson of Dianmi Khan of the Western Turkic Dynasty, the son of Yebuli Shekuiteqin Jieyue. This man has great ambitions!" Li Min said.

Wei Zheng was a little surprised by his words.

Unexpectedly, Li Yin is so familiar with the border affairs.

"Then sir, next, the imperial court wants us to support their weapons, so what should we do?"

At this moment Cheng Yaojin came over.

Got the phone.

"Sir, I'm Zhijie. Your Majesty wants more guns, grenades, and more advanced weapons. Can you give them to us?"

Cheng Yaojin waited for a long time, now he has the opportunity to explain.

"Oh?"

"Sir, how is it?"

"Put the phone up, and I'll talk with you."

Li Min said.

"Yes, sir!"

So, Cheng Yaojin set the phone on speaker.

Then Li Yin said, "How about it, can you all hear me?"

The two said yes.

"Okay, let me talk about my opinion. We still have more than 1 guns and [-] grenades. If the imperial court wants it, we can sell it to them at the previous price!"

After hearing this, Wei Zheng said yes directly.

"Do you have any new weapons?" Cheng Yaojin asked again.

"Also, we have new weapons. There are two of them. One of them, you have to let the emperor see if you need it. If you need it, let's talk further. The other is a sniper rifle!"

Cheng Yaojin asked: "What is this?"

"It's an artifact that can kill people five miles away. If you have it, you can kill the opponent's general and make them leaderless. In this way, you can achieve the goal of victory. If they don't surrender and keep the city , then another weapon has to be used. But I didn’t mention this weapon very clearly on the phone, so I have to let the emperor see it.”

"Is that so? Is there really such a thing in this world?"

"Yes, see what the emperor means."

"What is the sniper rifle, specifically!"

"It's a long gun that can shoot far and is very accurate. You can understand it that way."

"Then can you really kill the opponent's general five miles away?"

"of course."

"If this is the case, the war will be resolved soon, which is really wonderful." Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed.

He had to talk to Li Shimin about this.

"Yes, so, you go back and talk to the emperor, but let me tell you in advance, my sniper rifles are very expensive. And there are only ten of them. You can talk about it after you think it over."

"Understood. Can I show His Majesty the other thing?" Cheng Yaojin asked again.

"can!"

At this time Cheng Yaojin suddenly remembered the past.

"Didn't that thing be shown by Mr. before? Then he said it was still under study, but he didn't show it in the end?" Cheng Yaojin had a good memory.

Li Yin smiled and said: "Yes, you have a good memory, that's it, let's see if you want it, if you don't, we won't produce it."

Li Yin said.In fact, he had already produced a lot. At that time, he did not give it to Li Shimin in order to prevent the progress of militarization too fast. In addition, he was in Datang at the time. If he took it out, Li Shimin would think too much. Now he is not in Datang. Now, it doesn't matter, if Li Shimin really wanted to pursue it, then he would not be in Datang long ago, and it would be too difficult for Li Shimin to find himself.

"Okay, I'll go to the palace now to find His Majesty, and I'll come back later." Cheng Yaojin left the Tanglou without waiting for Li Yin to speak, and went to Taiji Palace.
