Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Du Ruhui didn't eat a few bites at his table before, but now that the dishes are served on this table, he naturally has to satisfy his tongue first, anyway, there is nothing to be particular about in front of this little shopkeeper, it's better to let go of his arms and eat seriously .

There are actually some dishes in this restaurant that ordinary people really can't eat, mainly because they need to use some ingredients and materials specially prepared by Zhang Nuo, so Zhang Nuo said a long time ago that only big customers can enjoy them.

Du Ruhui can barely be counted as a friend, but such dishes are generally more expensive, so he can't bear it!

You know, he followed Majesty to eat the same food at Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang's house for free, so why waste the money, no, I ate it today.

Chicken, duck and fish were served on a large table, and everyone ate heartily. Even Zhang Nuo, who had the strictest taste requirements, ate a few more chopsticks unconsciously in this atmosphere!

Li Qingmei ate the happiest, although there was no shortage of food and drink in the palace, but after eating two special meals of Zhang Nuo's special food, she suddenly felt that the so-called exquisite food in the palace was actually similar to pig food.

Everyone was full of wine and food and planned to leave, but Zhang Nuo looked at Old Du and asked leisurely,

"Old Du, I remember that you have something to do with the Ministry of War. Can you buy some war horses from them?"

Du Ruhui almost spit out the tea he just drank, is this damn speaking human language?What does it mean to buy some war horses?It is said that it is a war horse, so can that thing fall into ordinary people's homes?

Those generals who have led the army for many years just took their favorite horses home to raise them. The horses in the army are specially cared for, and they dare not let ordinary people take them home.

But at this time, Du Ruhui couldn't say it directly as Minister of the Ministry of War, so he could only say it tactfully,

"Shopkeeper Zhang, this matter is likely to fail. After all, war horses are different from ordinary livestock. The imperial court itself lacks war horses, so the management is very strict. If you get one or two, Lao Du can help you think about it." Think of a way, but looking at you like this, I'm afraid it's not one or two horses!"

Zhang Nuo smiled and nodded,

"Indeed, I thought about it. If my Zhuangzi wants to go to Korea to do things in the future, he still needs to use cavalry, so that he can come and go like the wind. If he fights in a positional manner, I will give it all to me. It’s a headache, after all, I only have [-] people!”

Du Ruhui knew Zhang Nuo's difficulties. For the surprise soldiers who went deep into the enemy's rear, there was no unit more convenient than the cavalry. They invaded like fire and came and went like wind.

In recent years, the Turks have been harassing around the border of the Tang Dynasty with their huge cavalry. If there are more cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, Du Ruhui really wants to pull out an army of cavalry to directly kill the Turkic hinterland.

Therefore, this war horse is not only wanted by Zhang Nuo, but also wanted by him as Minister of the Ministry of War. Unfortunately, war horses are not ordinary livestock. Neither bloodline nor training can be sloppy. It cannot be increased rapidly in a short period of time.

Du Ruhui was about to refuse directly, but he found that the princess Jinyang was frowning at him, and her pair of red phoenix eyes, which were exactly like His Majesty's, were slowly narrowing.

Du Ruhui immediately felt that the hairs on his neck stood up a little. This aunt probably didn't know the importance of war horses, and this was embarrassing him, Old Du.

But he didn't dare to refute Princess Jinyang's face directly, not to say that he couldn't afford to offend, Du Ruhui, as the current Prime Minister and Secretary of the Ministry of War, naturally wouldn't care if he was just a princess, but shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, he was different.

Chapter 188 Retired War Horse

If someone else asked Du Ruhui for a war horse, even if it was a relative of the emperor, Du Ruhui would dare to push him back on the spot, and even slap his face with a shoehorn, asking if he planned to rebel, otherwise why would he want a war horse.

But shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is different, he knows His Majesty's arrangement, the [-] sergeants thrown to shopkeeper Xiao Zhang are for him to raise and practice, even if His Majesty is ready, even if the [-] sergeants are sacrificed This is the idea that the shopkeeper gave out.

As the old saying goes, those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region. Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang's magical methods, which His Majesty valued, thought that even if Shopkeeper Zhang sacrificed [-] soldiers, he would be able to train an elite army and at the same time forge a A workshop area that is enough to become a country comes out.

It was with this reason that Du Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of War, was persuaded.

However, as Minister of the Ministry of War, how could he not feel sorry for the [-] soldiers, they are all veterans of hundreds of battles, as long as they train well, they will be able to take the lead in the national war, kill the enemy and serve the country in the future!

Therefore, he hopes that as many as possible of these [-] people can come back from Korea!

From this point of view, it seems that it is okay to give Zhang Nuo a batch of war horses, not to mention that the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang will definitely use the money to buy them, and the Ministry of War is not at a loss.

However, war horses, like armor, belonged to strategic materials. Not only his military department and the emperor were staring at him, but even the chief officers of each army and the generals were all staring at him.

Even Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Qin Qiong can only allocate limited horses to the scouts and small units in the army. If they sell a batch of already stretched horses to Zhang Nuo at this time, I'm afraid it will be him. All the government offices of the Ministry of War had to be overthrown by these generals.

After much deliberation, Du Ruhui couldn't come up with any good idea. Looking at Princess Jinyang's eyebrows that were almost squeezed into a Sichuan character, she was almost sweating.

Suddenly, he suddenly thought of an idea that was not an idea,

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, you don't have to think about the war horses in service, let alone such a merchant, even the Ministry of War itself, no one dares to sell them to you directly! The war horses in service and excellent horse breeds are strictly guarded by the Ministry of War. It's not easy for anyone to speak, let alone such a small relationship!"

"However, someone thought of a way to let you have your own cavalry!"

Zhang Nuo's eyes lit up, he could do anything, it was nothing more than spending some money, as long as he could form a cavalry team.

It's not that he has no alternatives. If he's just on his way, it's not impossible to exchange some twenty-eight bars.But when it comes to fighting on the battlefield, is it possible to let the sergeants under him ride bicycles to charge the army formation?So I'm afraid he didn't take the initiative to die!

Moreover, in his opinion, only a cavalry team with banners and banners and strong soldiers and horses is what the Tang Empire should look like in this era. He even thought about the scene of a man and a horse in full armor, holding a horse or a spear and charging collectively. , Zhang Nuo felt his blood boil.

That is what he imagined the Great Tang Empire should look like. As the most dazzling pearl of this era, it should be like this to be worthy of the big Tang character on the banner.

He also thought about exchanging for some firearms before, but the price of one was skyrocketing, and the other was because the system suggested to him that even if he took out the firearms, the effect might not be very good.

For the warfare of this era, there is no elite army that does not wear armor, and ordinary guns are actually not as effective as he imagined against the thick iron armor and the leather armor inside.

Of course, the lethality is definitely much better than bows and arrows, but the army created in this way is still Datang's army?

All the equipment can only be exchanged by him, and the logistics can only be replenished by his exchange. So this kind of army is still the Great Tang army that is invincible all around?

Zhang Nuo shook his head subconsciously when the system asked this question. It is true. If it is really done like that, he can indeed exchange for automatic rifles, bullets, and even cannons.

But in fact, after the battle, the troops will be useless, because they have to adapt to the cold weapon fighting without hot weapons. After all, Zhang Nuo can't supply them in unlimited quantities all the time.

Therefore, under the suggestion of the system, Zhang Nuo finally understood the path he was going to take, slowly provided knowledge, improved the technical level of the entire Datang, and used his Heifengzhai as a model army to gradually make the military of the Tang Dynasty more powerful. Level up to a new level.

The black gunpowder he made before to explode mines is actually like this. As long as Datang can prepare gunpowder on a large scale, then he can make soil grenades. This thing is definitely a weapon on the battlefield, which can be used by both offensive and defensive sides.

But Zhang Nuo still hopes to be the cavalry as the main body of the battle. After all, the infantry is really at a disadvantage in mobile warfare!

No matter how good a soldier's physical fitness is, his body will not be able to bear the sudden assault that ranges from hundreds to thousands of kilometers.

Therefore, whether he can get the war horse has become the most important point in Zhang Nuo's current plan. After all, this thing is basically in the hands of the court.

Du Ruhui didn't care about what Zhang Nuo was thinking about, he smiled and let it go before he said seriously,
