Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 635 Shock and Choice

The next morning, the wind was cold and cold.

Above the main hall, Qin Tian's expression was calm, and the officials were discussing a lot, and everything was no different from the usual morning court.

No one will think that if they go up this morning, something will happen.

Gao Shilian stood among the crowd, hesitating several times.

Li Shimin glared at him, and in the end he gritted his teeth helplessly, and Gao Shilian stood up.

"My lord, I have something important to mention."

The hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Gao Shilian, wanting to know what the important thing he mentioned was.

"Gao Aiqing, just say what you have."

Gao Shilian frowned slightly, and after a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I said earlier that my Tang troops are not good at fighting, but I think it's mainly due to the lack of training. Therefore, I propose to gather my Tang soldiers in the barracks." , for two years of training."

After finishing speaking, Gao Shilian backed away. He just wanted to bring this matter up, and he really didn't dare to care about the rest.

And just after Gao Shilian finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent, followed by voices of condemnation one after another.

"Master Gao, you are just messing around, do you know what you are talking about?"

"That's right, Fu Bing, that's training soldiers during the slack season, and farming during the busy farming season. With your appearance, who will plant those fields?"

"You are really talking nonsense. My Tang Dynasty is a big agricultural country. With so much land, can it be done without planting?"

"........."

As everyone was talking like this, Gao Shilian was scolded head-on and covered his face. He seemed to have suddenly realized how Qin Tian felt when he was scolded. To be honest, it was very unpleasant.

He was very aggrieved, why did he encounter such a thing?
There are so many people in the court, why did Li Shimin cheat him?
After all, he is also his uncle?
Gao Shilian wanted to cry, and wanted to find Empress Changsun to cry, but he was bullied.

The officials in the court were still talking one after another. Li Ji stood beside him, but he didn't say a word. He had discovered something vaguely, and couldn't help but glance at Qin Tian.

But Qin Tian was very calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with Qin Tian.

Now, no one doubts Qin Tian, ​​after all, the recruitment system he proposed has passed for some time.

However, all of this cannot be hidden from Li Ji. Li Ji curled his lips, and he knew that Qin Tian would not give up. Using this method now is really unstoppable.

Li Ji secretly sighed, at this moment, Li Shimin finally spoke.

"Okay, I think what Gao Aiqing said makes sense. My army in the Tang Dynasty is not strong enough. If I want to exterminate the Turks, I will be ashamed. How can I do it without military training? It's only been two years. Why are you embarrassing Gao Aiqing like this? "

Li Shimin spoke loudly, but Gao Shilian hoped that Li Shimin would stop talking, because the more Li Shimin said that, the more those people in the court hated him. Now, it is not these people who are embarrassing him, but Li Shimin is embarrassing him.

But when Li Shimin said this, he still didn't dare to refute, so he could only accept it.

The ministers were simmering with anger, but it was not easy to explode at this time. They really didn't want their soldiers to train in the barracks for two years, but Li Shimin told all about the humiliation, and the soldiers were all Datang's soldiers and horses, they don't let them train, so it can't be justified, right?

They don't have many government soldiers in their hands, but even if they don't have many, it is still a lot of labor for them.

"Your Majesty, I have no objection to training soldiers to kill the enemy, but they have all gone to train soldiers, what about the land?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the fields are left uncultivated without anyone tilling them?"

"Without food, what will the people eat, what will the soldiers eat?"

"........."

The ministers said one word to another, they want to reason with Li Shimin now, but Li Shimin curled his lips: "It's only a few tens of thousands of government soldiers, I don't believe that those fields are uncultivated, no, you can do it yourself." Going home to buy slaves to farm the land, in order to strengthen my army of the Tang Dynasty, those government soldiers must be trained."

When others reasoned, Li Shimin acted like a rascal.

Everyone was speechless and embarrassed.

The officials looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do in the face of a rogue Li Shimin.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this. Anyone who dares to escape the soldiers in the barracks will be punished and killed without pardon."

Li Shimin's face was full of anger. After saying this, he waved and said, "Retire."

When the court retreated early, the officials became very depressed. Faced with Li Shimin's domineering situation, they really had nothing to do. Whoever dared to jump out would die.

It is a great loss for them that their own soldiers cannot be used.

Two years, who knows if his mansion soldiers will still belong to him after two years.

Time is a terrible thing.

When everyone left the hall one after another like this, Qin Tian's expression was very calm, but just as he was about to leave, a group of people suddenly surrounded him.

"Master Hou, you have to find a way to do this kind of thing. Those fields cannot be cultivated without someone."

"That's right, you kid must persuade the Holy Majesty not to do this."

"The Holy One will definitely listen to you, you can't stand by and watch."

"........."

There were a lot of people, some were familiar with Qin Tian on weekdays, and some were not. Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others were all there. Of course, the reason why Li Ji was there was because he had already seen through everything.

This play has to go on.

Everyone surrounded Qin Tian, ​​Qin Tian smiled wryly, and said: "I understand everyone's thoughts, but you should also understand the current situation in my Tang Dynasty. I really need a strong army in my Tang Dynasty. Don't we have to wait for the Turks to attack again? Can we understand this truth? The Holy Majesty must strengthen the army. If the recruitment system is not implemented, then the government soldiers can only be temporarily borrowed. Don't worry, after the battle, it should be yours or yours."

After finishing speaking, Qin Tian turned around and left. He had already said everything that should be said. He wanted to let these people understand that the Great Tang needs a strong army, and it is imperative to have a strong army. Recruitment system, your government soldiers are really not your government soldiers.

After Qin Tian left, everyone looked at each other. From what Qin Tian said, they naturally understood what it meant.

Li Ji caressed his beard, and said: "This matter is not hopeless. Since the Holy One wants to recruit soldiers, let's recruit soldiers. As long as the government soldiers don't move."

When he said this, he naturally wanted to help Qin Tian. Li Ji still wanted to think about Datang. After he said this, Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes: "Just recruit soldiers. Tomorrow morning, we all Proposed."

The others looked at each other, although they were worried that after the recruitment system, the Tang Dynasty would completely abolish the government soldiers system, but in comparison, it is indeed much better to let the imperial court recruit soldiers for their own interests than to use their government soldiers.

"Never mind, whatever..."
