I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 681: Prepare for War in Another World
He believed in Li Zheng. All along the way until now, countless facts have proved that Li Zheng has never let him down.

Especially Li Shimin, with Li Chengqian as a living example, he was full of confidence in Li Zheng.

After calming down Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, the meeting in Taiji Hall was officially declared over.

After the decrees were issued one after another, the entire Tang Dynasty's war machine began to operate again.

Now, with the support of steam and electricity, the Tang Dynasty, which has gathered all the resources in the world, will burst out with unimaginable explosive power. Time flies, and three months later.

Zheng Xuan strictly implemented the elite military policy mentioned by Li Zheng. The elite soldiers in various military camps were gathering towards Peking in an endless stream on the Tang Dynasty's steam locomotives.

On a train from Liangzhou to Peking, a team of more than a dozen soldiers were sitting together, discussing something intensely.

"Brothers, where do you think His Majesty the Emperor is going to attack this time by summoning the best troops from all armies?"

"Who knows? Maybe some barbarians are tired of living and are making trouble."

"I wonder if there's any problem in Beiping? They're not asking us to quell a rebellion, are they?"

"Stop talking nonsense. The emperor, the emperor emeritus, and the former crown prince Sanlong are all in the same court. How can there be a rebellion? Who dares to rebel?"

"Brother Hu, what do you think?"

The man called Brother Huzi is a handsome man in his twenties. There is a hideous scar on his handsome face.

The scar added a murderous aura to the man's originally handsome appearance.

When Hu Zi heard the question from his soldiers, he blurted out the answer without thinking.

"You just need to remember who saved us from slavery, who gave us enough food to eat, and who gave us our current status."

He finished speaking in one breath, but Hu Zi ignored him and continued to close his eyes and rest.

After hearing Hu Zi's words, the other soldiers nodded in agreement.

The status of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty was once low, no different from that of a lowly person. Their descendants were forever bound to the military, with no hope of making a name for themselves.

But Li Zheng changed all that.

Nowadays, which Tang Dynasty soldier is not respected abroad? Moreover, in just a few years, their salaries have doubled.

Thinking of these dozen or so soldiers, their love for Li Zheng grew even stronger.

"Brother Hu is right. No matter where we fight this time, we just have to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Be loyal to the emperor and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

The soldiers' voices, as if taking an oath, rang out on the speeding train.

Hu Zi smiled slightly when he heard this.

The scar on his face was left during the long war against the Shi Khanate, and all the soldiers were aware of it.

But what they didn't know was that he should have been killed directly by the sword. It was the Tang Emperor Li Zheng who led the troops at the time who took action at the last moment and saved his life.

From then on, Hu Zi swore that he would follow Li Zheng forever in this life.

This life was given by Li Zheng, not to mention a series of policies subsequently implemented by Li Zheng, of which he was a beneficiary.

……

Peking City.

The people in the capital recently discovered that a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared in the city of Peking.

The people of the capital city were living in the capital's best place, right under the emperor's feet, so they were more concerned about national affairs. When they saw the large number of soldiers being mobilized, they keenly realized the news that the court was mobilizing troops.

For a while, the people were talking about it.

"You said that the emperor is recruiting soldiers this time, and it's targeting you and where else."

"Who knows? Maybe the emperor has discovered that small country again." This statement is widely circulated among the people.

Because before Li Zheng conquered the Kingdom of John, the people of the Tang Dynasty had never heard of the existence of this country.

Therefore, the explanation that their Emperor discovered a small country that had never appeared before was accepted by most of the people.

But the people were not too worried.

For the people of the Tang Dynasty today, war no longer means a waste of money and labor. Instead, it means that the great emperor will plunder vast amounts of wealth, which will bring visible benefits to the Tang Dynasty and themselves.

So Li Zheng's troop deployment this time is actually a good thing for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and most of the people are supportive.

The people's ideas are very simple. They believe that a sufficient supply of food and clothing and a little spare money will make them loyal to you.

What Li Zheng brought to them was not only food and clothing, but also the dignity that they had never dared to imagine.

Today, the status and position of the people of the Tang Dynasty are far superior to those of other ethnic groups. The consequence of this difference is that the national self-confidence of the Chinese nation has been greatly enhanced, and the people's sense of happiness is overflowing.

On the second day, Li Zheng convened a grand court meeting in Taiji Hall.

Hundreds of officials gathered in the main hall.

The civil and military ministers were arranged in two rows.

Li Zheng sat upright on the dragon couch in the main hall.

With all the civil and military officials in the court of A Kun in Neihe Palace, Li Zheng knew that the Tang Dynasty was ready for this exciting war of conquest in another world.

I just don't know whether the Tartars in the Lu Ding world are ready to face the Tang Dynasty's cavalry.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng waved to Wang De beside him.

As Wang De's voice sounded, the grand court meeting began.

The Minister of War Zheng Xuan was the first to step forward.

"Your Majesty, the 500,000-man army has been assembled and stationed in the barracks in the city, waiting for your dispatch."

Li Zheng nodded to Zheng Xuan to show his satisfaction.

Then the Minister of Revenue Qin Jiansheng stepped out and reported to Li Zheng.

"Your Majesty, the food and fodder needed by the army has been prepared, including artillery, flintlock rifles and other strategic materials, which are enough for the army to use for three years."

Li Zheng was also cheered up when he heard this.

"You two have done a great job, my dear ministers. It is much faster than I expected."

Li Zheng was indeed very satisfied, especially the Minister of Revenue Qin Jiansheng.

Mobilizing food and fodder is not just a matter of issuing an order or an imperial decree.

Such a huge amount of food and fodder involves various government agencies from all aspects, not to mention the most time-consuming and labor-intensive firearms, such as flintlock rifles.

Although the productivity of the Tang Dynasty has improved significantly, the corresponding industrial system has not yet been formed. It can only be said that a rough foundation has been laid.

Therefore, during these three months, Qin Jiansheng was the busiest person in the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the ministers in the hall exchanged glances with each other, and finally it was the Governor Chen Jing who stepped out and respectfully saluted Li Zheng before asking.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask you why you have mobilized so many supplies, equipment and soldiers?"

All the civil and military officials in the hall stretched their necks and pricked up their ears as if listening.

They were really curious. During the past three months, rumors were flying around among officials, but none of them were reliable.
