Great Tang princess

Chapter 253 Li Zhi's Plan

This Turkic rebellion did not make most people think that 30 years of peace, compared to the average life expectancy of this era, can be said to be a matter of the previous generation.

But Li Yuechen is different. As a future person, she knows one thing very well - it is not an easy task to make the country peaceful.

And the peace between countries is actually too fragile!

The four words of world peace cannot be realized for at least a few thousand years.

The ministers entered the palace one after another, and after circulating the letters they sent, they were all lost in thought, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Liu Rengui didn't, but turned his head slightly, and asked Li Yuechen if he had any good ideas.

Li Yuechen shook her head lightly, her current experience in commanding wars is still very good, it's better not to express her opinions casually on such matters.

But he wasn't worried about the war itself. Li Yuechen felt that it would be a big deal to send two carts of grenades to the front line. Where did soldiers in this era see such things?A few grenades may not kill too many people, but they will definitely scare many people to death.

Seeing the relaxed expression on his apprentice's face, Liu Rengui also felt relieved, looked around at the ministers who were thinking, and began to pretend to close his eyes.

It seems that he is also thinking, but in fact he has already started to wander.

Originally, he had the idea of ​​gradually retiring. Let the young people handle things like war.

Li Yuechen's relaxed expression was seen by Li Zhi, and after the sound of her grenade, she suddenly relaxed and turned into a chair spread out from sitting.

He was immediately angry when he saw the news. After all, according to his past habits, a big battle was inevitable.

But suddenly remembering that her daughter still had grenades, she immediately relaxed, and at the same time decided in her heart that this war should be used for her daughter to accumulate qualifications.

Now her qualifications can't directly seal the rank of marching chief, but as a lieutenant general, there is still no problem.

And after winning this time, not only can she gain her qualifications, but she can also increase her prestige in the army again.Especially if it works properly, the title of "Military God" cannot escape.

Seeing the emperor suddenly spread out on the chair with a spoiled look, the frowning ministers all looked puzzled. Could it be that the emperor is afraid?Lost confidence?Are you going to mess it up?

Of course, this question cannot be asked directly, so the ministers began to express their views one after another.

Anyway, it’s pretty much the same, the core point of view is the same, fight!Must fight!

But how to fight and who to send to fight, there is no complete conclusion for a while, everyone wants to recommend a place with a good relationship with them.

But at the same time, they each have their own concerns. If something goes wrong and the fight is not won, then there will be trouble!

When the ministers talked about their opinions, Li Zhi nodded calmly, expressing his agreement, what they said was right.

Even after everyone has finished speaking, they will add a sentence "it makes sense" to show that they are listening carefully.

But everyone could see that the emperor didn't listen carefully at all, and was just perfunctory them.

There are generally only two possibilities for the emperor to have such a situation, either he is completely screwed, or he is confident!
And it is absolutely impossible for Li Zhi, the emperor, to be bad, so there is only the second option left.

Now that the emperor had already paid attention, it was useless for them to say anything, so they all quieted down, wanting to see Li Zhi's opinion.

However, he didn't seem to have the intention to say something right away, he just smiled suddenly: "I'm a little tired today, why don't we leave it at that for now, all you gentlemen, go back first, we'll discuss this matter tomorrow!"

Hearing this sentence, many ministers had question marks on their faces and raised their heads in disbelief.

Is there any mistake, it's only half morning and I'm sleepy before noon?

But Li Zhi really didn't intend to keep them for lunch, and after finishing speaking, he got up and went back to the inner hall without saying a word.

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what happened to the emperor today.

Seeing this appearance, Wu Zetian also stood up: "In this case, everyone, go back first, and discuss tomorrow!"

All right, the emperor and empress have issued an order to evict guests, and it is useless for them to stay any longer, so they all got up to leave and left the palace with complicated expressions on their faces.

But at the same time, I was also thinking in my heart, what is the emperor's plan, and he can really be so calm.

……

After the ministers left, Li Zhi walked out of the inner hall again, how could he look a little sleepy?

He came out with a smile on his face, holding an orange that had been pushed aside and slowly stuffing it into his mouth.

Li Yuechen suddenly smiled and said, "Grandpa wants to let the child go?"

"Well... sending troops to fight is a waste of time and money. The fewer the number of people dispatched, the faster they fight, and the smaller the loss!" Li Zhi nodded, "Besides, the grenade will be used sooner or later. There is no difference!"

Hearing what his father said, Li Yuechen thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense.

Since it is a weapon, it will go to the battlefield sooner or later, so it doesn't make any sense to hide it by yourself.

The key to this thing is the recipe, not the itself.

"Alright then, baby, let's get ready." Li Yuechen nodded.

Although the scouts have not been fully trained yet, they are fighters with rich experience in killing people, and they are not afraid of the battlefield, so it is no problem to pull them out to fight now.

Li Zhi waved his hand: "Don't worry, I plan to take the ministers to your barracks tomorrow and let them see the power of the grenade. What do you think?"

Li Yuechen nodded and said that there was no problem. The emperor's training before going to the battlefield was also beneficial to the soldiers.

These soldiers themselves received the education of being loyal to the royal family, and being able to see the emperor with their own eyes can also play a great role in motivating them.

As for the weapon exercise... It's good to let them see it, and it will save them sending people to Mang Mountain to frighten them around, and they will be caught by their own people.

After letting them see this weapon experiment, Mang Mountain will be completely used as a military area in the future. If ordinary people dare to sneak past without listening to advice, they will cut it down without mercy!

At that time, no one can say anything, because this kind of weapon should be the most important weapon of the country, and its importance is self-evident, and it is normal to strictly guard against it.

……

After lunch, Li Yuechen went back to the barracks to prepare. At the same time, he asked Fulai to send people. Before tomorrow afternoon, at least five hundred scarecrows should be found.

Li Yuechen didn't plan to continue to use sheep for this experiment. After all, sheep are quite expensive, wouldn't it be good to eat them?

At the same time, he also told the soldiers that His Majesty and all the ministers will come to watch tomorrow, so that they can rest well tonight and show their best tomorrow.

Li Yuechen also felt that he could use this opportunity to frighten those veteran nobles.

Let them know that although they also have an army in their hands, it is definitely not enough to face a new army like theirs!
It is also for the sake of system reform in the future, even if they want to rebel, they must think carefully about it!
The table can't be flipped if you want to. The premise of flipping the table is that the strength in your hand must be strong enough.

Fulai's work efficiency was quite good. The next morning, when Li Yuechen was watching the soldiers training, Fulai ran over and reported that [-] scarecrows were ready, and they were all transported to the place behind the barracks where they trained every day.

Li Yuechen nodded, and continued to look at the soldiers training on the playground.

The arrangement of the soldiers has been carefully considered. In the morning, there are usually various combat skill trainings. The grenadiers train grenadiers, and the dog trainers train dogs.

In the afternoon, it is mainly about physical training. Training dog soldiers is rather tiring. In addition to improving their own physical fitness, they also need to train the physical fitness of dogs.

After eating at noon, the soldiers stopped their training and took a rest on the playground to do some activities. At the same time, they also sorted out their camouflage uniforms and prepared to meet the emperor later.

After making all the preparations, a soldier suddenly ran over to salute: "Report! Your Highness, Your Majesty's car is already less than a mile away from here!"

Li Yuechen nodded: "Okay, assemble!"

……

On the other side, the ministers were sitting in their own carriages, following behind the emperor's Luanjia.

In their respective carriages, many ministers were thinking that they should be called here to show them the new army that the princess trained.

This is not a secret, and basically all ministers of high rank know about it, but they are indeed a little curious about the difference between this new army and the ordinary army.

Thinking all the way, he came to the gate of the barracks.The emperor's carriage stopped, and the ministers got off their carriages.

The first thing I saw was a wide hardened road, about three feet wide, leading directly to a wide arch made of bamboo-reinforced concrete.

The words "Zuo Qianniuwei Training Base" are written on the top of the arch. It is dusty and wider than the road, close to four feet, and less than one foot in height, which is enough for the emperor's Luan to pass through.

There are several rows of wooden horses at the door, and behind the arch are two small pavilions on both sides, and in each small pavilion stands a soldier in camouflage uniform.

These two soldiers are camouflaged from top to bottom, and the helmets are also round iron helmets, but covered with a layer of camouflage cloth.

The two soldiers stood facing each other in a straddling posture with their heads held high, standing inside the pavilion like javelins.

At the same time, Li Yuechen also came out from the inside, and said with a smile to the ministers: "Everyone, please get out of the carriage. Except for Your Majesty Luanjia, all carriages should be parked outside!"

This request is not too much, Qianniuwei is the royal bodyguard, so it is normal to only let Emperor Luan drive in.

The ministers agreed one after another, got off the carriage, and prepared to walk in behind the emperor's Luanjia.

Li Yuechen waved his hand, and a few soldiers behind him who were also wearing camouflage uniforms moved the horse away, and then stood on both sides of the road to let the emperor Luan pass by.

When Luanjia entered the arch, all the soldiers on both sides of the road, including the pavilion, stood at attention and saluted with a solemn expression, their heads held high, watching the emperor Luanjia pass slowly.

Seeing the uniform movements of these soldiers, the ministers behind them were slightly surprised. It has to be said that the feeling of these soldiers is indeed very different from that of ordinary soldiers.

Whether it's expressions, temperament or other things, they have something that soldiers of this era don't have.

Simply put, it is spirit, but more importantly, it should be a kind of core.Or... the soul of the army?
After Luanjia passed, these soldiers changed back to straddling in unison. The ministers do not belong to this army system, so there is no need to salute them.

The ministers followed Luanjia into the arch, and the first thing they saw was a dusty and hardened road. The street trees on both sides seemed to have been pruned, and they looked very straight.

This road is not long, about [-] meters long. Walking along the road, you can see a row of two-story buildings facing south, several small pavilions below and a big drum inside.

Next to the side of the mountain is a row of training equipment that they can't understand, such as single and double poles, as well as balance beams and rope nets in the 1000 meters obstacle.

On the other side is a high platform, and at the same time there is a small platform in the middle of the playground...

The biggest difference between this barracks and other barracks is that it is clean and tidy!So clean and so tidy!It feels as if every pot of flowers and plants here has been carefully trimmed.

The soldiers had already stood in line, neatly standing beside the playground, paying attention to the emperor's Luanjia.

The carriage stopped beside the high platform, and the emperor and empress came out of the carriage and came to the high platform, and the ministers followed behind.

Li Zhi took a deep breath and asked, "What do you love, what do you think of this military camp?"

The ministers quickly flattered, such as clean and tidy, orderly layout, good feng shui... and so on.

Anyway, boasting doesn't cost money. The princess's army should be clean and tidy, and it's normal to have a uniform. Anyway, she has money.

But I have to admit that the army looks different in uniform.

Li Yuechen smiled, shook his hand and waved at Geng Yunqiang.

The next moment, the ministers heard a sound of "哐, 哐..." and when they looked up, five hundred soldiers were walking towards this side neatly as if they were one person.

Because the movements were too neat, the voice sounded extremely stable, as if it was a person.

Geng Yunqiang did not shout the slogan "one two one" and relied on the soldiers to find the rhythm in their hearts.

The ministers who saw this scene finally showed a look of surprise on their faces, and then they all fell into deep thought.

And Liu Rengui and other generals all had their eyes lit up!
They have a deeper understanding of the army and know the importance of discipline in the army. These soldiers can be as neat as one person. Among other things, this discipline alone can already shake off many soldiers of this era.

"Stand-set!"

Hearing Geng Yunqiang's shout, the soldiers all stopped, and under the order to turn right, they all turned around like one person again, neatly!

Then, just like last time, Geng Yunqiang ran over to report, and Li Yuechen yelled to rest after giving the order.

All the soldiers stood with their legs apart, their hands on their backs, and their heads held high.

The civil servants who saw this scene squinted their eyes in thought, while the generals all looked forward to it. They began to have a strong sense of anticipation for today's events.
