The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 733 Goguryeo Proton’s Request
Use this to adjust the height?Li Jing squatted down and carefully looked at the two outriggers that were disconnected and connected together through the connecting plate.

"This method can improve stability." Li Muyun was afraid that Li Jing would not understand, so he continued to explain.

"Good design, if this is the case, it can indeed solve the problem of equipment loss, but your shelf seems to be too small, isn't it suitable for a trebuchet?" Li Shimin expressed his puzzlement.

Now that he decided to transform the large-scale siege equipment, Li Muyun naturally couldn't think of such a simple replacement problem, and calmly replied: "This can be used in combination, it is used on the trebuchet, but combining four such shelves together, form a larger base."

"Your Majesty, I think you can try it." After serious thinking, Li Jing expressed support for Li Muyun's suggestion.

After all, things made of steel are stronger than those made of wood. In addition, such structural things are indeed easy to replace with accessories.

After all, when those strong men were assembling this shelf just now, Li Jing had already calculated the time, and it took less than a quarter of an hour in total. This is still organized directly from a pile of parts. If it is just to replace parts, it may not take even one-third of the time. .

On the battlefield, time is life. You may not be short of a quarter of an hour or a quarter of an hour when you are attacking, but every breath is good when you are defending the city. If you can quickly replace the parts, it will save a lot of losses.

Hou Junji nodded again and again at this time, apparently having the same opinion as Li Jing.

It can be scattered and carried, can be assembled quickly, and can be replaced flexibly. If all large-scale ordnance has such performance, it seems that it is no problem to replace all the ordnance of the entire army.

Soldiers and fighters don’t have so many ideas and excuses. As long as they think something is easy to use, who cares how much it costs. They just used this as an excuse just because they didn’t want to replace the old equipment. An old guy will naturally not stick to his previous point of view.

But if the veterans don't want it, it doesn't mean that Li Er doesn't want it. The treasury finally has more money, so we can't just lose it. Thinking of the cost of replacing the equipment of the whole army, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but look at Li Muyun: "Then, the old equipment from before what to do?"

Li Muyun said straightforwardly: "Selling, it's useless anyway, of course it's for selling money, or what else can I exchange for new equipment. Besides, in these days, any business is actually not as quick as the arms business, just this one Ba Niu crossbow, no matter how it is sold outside, it can be sold for hundreds of pieces, and the price is enough to make ten new bed crossbows."

The eyeballs of Li Er and the others jumped wildly: "Sell it? Sell it if you say so? Do you know how much we have in Datang? Besides, what will happen if it falls into the hands of the enemy? How many soldiers in Datang will need their lives to fill it up?" .”

"So we need to study new equipment, whether it's for money or to strengthen the military. I think we can't just rely on our laurels. We need to innovate, reform, and develop. We need to eliminate old equipment and use the money spent on eliminating old equipment to research new ones." Equipment is used to ensure that Datang's military strength is ahead of other countries, this is the foundation and the driving force for progress."

Motivation shit, if you say something, bragging is over, but the equipment is not made of mud, who can guarantee that the new equipment will be able to suppress the old ones.

Li Er's cheeks trembled in anger, Li Jing and Hou Junji kept rolling their eyes.

And Li Muyun is eloquent: "Actually, I want to say that as a powerful country, we should not be afraid of enemies. As the saying goes, we live in sorrow and die in peace. If we only know how to live on our laurels, what is the difference from salted fish? So we have to worry Awareness, sell the old equipment and replace it with new ones, and at the same time strengthen military training to build a modern army."

Although Li Er and the others could understand the meaning of these words, they couldn't accept them.

Everyone knows that forging iron requires self-hardening, and also knows the necessity of strengthening military power, but the question is can it be done?

It's like two people fighting. Everyone knows that improving one's own ability and fighting skills is the fundamental reason to solve the problem, but who would put a knife in the opponent's hand in order to improve their fighting skills?How is that different from suicide.

Until night fell, His Majesty Li Er and a group of war madmen still hadn't decided whether to sell those old equipment, so Li Muyun could only return to his residence in desperation.

Just as he sat down, a person came in from outside: "Your Majesty, what's the matter, is there any result?"

"Wait, I'm not sure." Li Muyun shook his head: "I said you Goguryeo people are the same, you don't want anything, why do you have to have weapons, aren't you embarrassing me?"

The guy who came in later found a place to sit down, and said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, isn't there nothing I can do about it? You know the situation in our country. The five ministries are doing their own thing, and sometimes even my father's will comes out." Not the palace."

"His Highness Gao Heng, since things are like this, aren't you afraid of causing a chain reaction if you get another batch of armaments back? What if the five samurai you mentioned saw your royal family buy so much armaments and launched a coup d'état? Do it." Li Muyun looked at the Goguryeo prince who was sitting there rubbing his hands, and asked helplessly.

Gao Heng pinned all his hopes on Li Muyun at this time, and quickly explained: "No, your country has invested so much money, driven by interests, they should not launch it for the time being, and the father also wants to borrow Taking this opportunity, first arm the army loyal to the imperial family, just in case."

Li Muyun was noncommittal, sighed and said: "Your Highness Gao Heng, I think you should also know that even if I can sell you the ordnance through some channels, this part of the ordnance still requires a lot of money and goods. This is not an ordinary business. You can borrow as you like."

"I understand that my father has mobilized almost all the funds that can be used in the country this time, a total of 200 million yuan. I hope you can think about it and help me with this."

Gao Heng was a little nervous. Ever since Gao Minzhi came to Datang, he had received a private letter from his father, Gao Jianwu, and he knew the arduous task of this task.

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, the people who really dared to sell their weapons were Changsun Wuji and Li Muyun. Compared with the old fox of Changsun, Gao Heng still believed that Li Muyun was more reliable, although this guy Sometimes a little maverick, but very trustworthy.

Seeing Gao Heng's fidgeting look, Li Muyun clicked his tongue and said: "Forget it, since His Highness Gao Heng is so sincere, then I will work harder and try to go to His Majesty again to see if I can help you. "
