"Haha! Good! Good! "
In Qin's Mansion, Li Zexuan was elated to hear Li Zexuan's reply. Although he coveted Li Zexuan's workshop, he could not show it. He laughed and said, "The Black Armored Army has just expanded. If you can finish these armors as soon as possible, Duan Zhixuan will be able to arrange for the soldiers to train and familiarize themselves with the new equipment. Besides, you are the most familiar with the new equipment. With you assisting Duan Zhixuan in managing the military affairs, it will also help the Black Armored Army to become stronger!"
Li Zexuan hurriedly said, "I will do my best and spare no effort!"
"What a great 'do your best and do your best'! You are going to the military camp tomorrow and you are already in Chang 'an. Why don't you report to me? "
Suddenly, Elder Li's face darkened as he looked at Li Zexuan.
Sure enough, Old Li was here to settle accounts with him!
Li Zexuan muttered in his heart. Then, he quickly pretended to be in fear and trepidation and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! You are always busy with state affairs. I just don't want to disturb Your Majesty over such a small matter! "
Li Er shot a glance at Li Zexuan and said crossly, "You, punk, have a glib tongue! Alright! I am too lazy to argue with you! "
Then, he drank a cup of wine and asked, "Regarding the current situation in the north, Shu Bao has told you, right?"
Speaking of serious matters, Li Zexuan no longer had the mood to continue eating and drinking. He nodded and said, "Uncle Qin has already told this subject!"
"Mm! What do you think? "
Li Er looked at Li Zexuan with interest and asked.
He really hoped to hear Li Zexuan's unique views on the situation between the two countries. Li Zexuan had been in the imperial court for more than a year, and he always had a unique view on every problem. This was also one of the reasons why he chose to leave the palace and come to Qin's Mansion today!
Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had also put down their chopsticks and wine cups and looked over.
At this time, there were only the four of them in the main hall. Some of the servants and maids had already been ordered to leave by Qin Qiong. On one hand, it was for Li Er's safety. On the other hand, it was to prevent Li Er from revealing any confidential state affairs during the meal.
Li Zexuan thought for a moment and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I think that since Xieli secretly deployed his troops at the border between the two countries and launched a general attack on Tuli's troops in the grasslands, it proves that he already knows or guessed that the imperial court has a plan to attack the grasslands! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Six Yamen, civil and military, civil and military, civil and military, civil and military, all officials to prepare for war. such a big movement, such a big movement movement. Such a big, such a big movement movement movement,, so Your Majesty ', Your Majesty, Your Majesty''s so Your Majesty, I, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Your Your Majesty,, Your Your, Your So.
Li Er's eyes flashed and he said, "En! Your analysis is reasonable. Then, what do you think the imperial court should do in the face of the current situation? I originally planned to secretly prepare the army for war and catch Xieli off guard two months later. But now, it's obvious that Xieli is already on guard. Moreover, he seems to be more anxious than I am to carry out the war. In this way, what do you think the Tang Empire's chances of winning this war are? "
Li Zexuan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Tang Empire and the Turks are the two most powerful countries in the world today. In such a big national war, to secretly catch the other side off guard, Your Majesty, I think this is an impossible task! It's only a matter of time before Xieli finds out that the imperial court is secretly preparing the army for war! But it seems that Xieli found out about it earlier this time!
But Your Majesty, Your Majesty, thinks that all these are not important because the main factor that determines the victory of a war is still the hard power of both sides! Since Xieli has already sensed the Imperial Court's intention to attack the grasslands, then before the war truly begins, we should make complete preparations. We cannot fight a war without preparation! "
Li Er nodded his head and said, "This Emperor knows that to forge iron, one must be strong. Therefore, a few days ago, all the soldiers of the Twelve Capital Guards had already started training together! The officials from the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of War have already begun preparing military supplies, allocating funds, and deducing battle tactics more than half a month ago, all for the sake of winning this tough battle! "
Li Zexuan thought for a moment, then said with a serious face, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being so bold, but I don't think this is enough!"
Li Er's brows raised and he said doubtfully, "Oh? Do you have any better suggestions? Tell me! "
Li Zexuan didn't hesitate for a moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the mobilization of the Six Yamens and the Twelve Guards of the Capital isn't enough. The Tang Empire should be fully prepared for war! Issue the war mobilization order to every single citizen!
Our Tang Empire implements a government army system. The citizens usually farm and join the army in times of war. Ever since the Imperial Court purged all the rebellious forces in the Tang Empire, the world gradually became peaceful. Many of the soldiers who fought on the battlefield and experienced hundreds of battles have all retired. Among these people, even if some of them don't have outstanding martial arts, they are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They have rich battle experience. To the Tang Empire, they are an immeasurable amount of wealth!
I believe that as long as the Imperial Court summons these veterans, as long as their blood is still warm, they will definitely be willing to put on their armor and go to war again. If these people are integrated into an army, not only can they form a fighting force in a short period of time, their fighting force is definitely not to be underestimated! I believe that in this decisive battle of life and death, the Tang Empire must go all out and not have any mercy or slack off. This time, the Turks must be completely killed! "
Veterans were wealth, whether it was in modern times or ancient times. Veterans were not old, but they had experience and experience. They had more battle experience and knew how to cooperate on the battlefield and how to survive. Some people said that a veteran on the battlefield was equivalent to ten new recruits. Li Zexuan agreed with this very much. This was especially true now that the Great Tang was using a government army system. In peacetime, the government soldiers were farmers who cultivated the land, trained during the farm breaks, and joined the army in times of war. The government soldiers had to prepare their own weapons and horses for war, and the entire country had a government that was responsible for selecting and training the government soldiers.
Ever since Wang Shichong was killed in the fourth year of Wude, the Great Tang had been at peace for six or seven years (of course, not counting the coup at the Xuanwu Gate and the Wei River Alliance). In these six or seven years, the number of government soldiers in the government was far less than it had been in the fourth year of Wude. The main reason was that many government soldiers had retired.
This was why Li Zexuan had made this proposal! He believed that once the war between the Great Tang and the Turkic Khaganate broke out, the strength of the Twelve Garrison Guards and the Black Armored Army was far from enough. They needed to select a group of seasoned soldiers from the various regions. This was both respect and trust for the veterans!
