This …
It was a bolt from the blue.
Good heavens.
Are they trying to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty?
Zhang Feng knew the current situation of the Turks.
After the snow and ice disaster, the locust plague, and the civil strife, a large number of war horses in the Turks were secretly brought to the Tang Dynasty by the small tribes to exchange for food.
At this time, winter was about to arrive. To be more precise, in the Turkic lands around Lake Baikal, wasn't it already snowing?
Zhang Feng, who was familiar with the map, realized the seriousness of the problem at this time.
At this time, the Turks were basically running out of ammunition and food. If they pushed him too far, he could really do anything.
One month?
Did this mean that they would be able to finish gathering in a month's time?
At that time …
The 100,000 soldiers of Qiuci?
Could they hold on with the current weapons?
When these 100,000 soldiers retreated or were defeated and surrounded, the west gate of the Tang Dynasty would have no protection at all!
Zhang Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
"What does Lord Zhangsun mean? We haven't found the iron yet. I can't do anything about it! "
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Lord Zhangsun said that this time, His Majesty is going to dismantle the iron boat, and His Majesty has begun to negotiate with the people of the Wang Clan. Aren't the people of Mount Longshou looking for iron now? His Majesty asked me to ask you, are you sure there is an iron mine in that place? "
"If there is, His Majesty has prepared an imperial edict to give that land to …"
At this point, Zhang Feng couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
Mount Longshou.
That place was a good place!
Mount Longshou originally belonged to the royal hunting ground.
In addition, the Imperial Manor of the Tang Dynasty was there. If that place was given to him, it would be perfect!
Li Shimin was also struggling with this matter.
After hesitating for a long time and seeing the fervent look in Zhang Feng's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "His Majesty is preparing to send an army to guard Mount Longshou and expel anyone other than our people!"
When Zhang Feng heard this, he instantly became like a deflated balloon, dispirited and listless. ,
You should have said so earlier!
Holy shit.
I thought you were going to reward me!
Didn't the Emperor like to reward people with land?
This was simply …
Sigh!
This was fate!
Zhang Feng let out a long sigh.
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Feng who was moaning and groaning. He shook his head in amusement and said, "What? You still want the Emperor to bestow this place to you?"
"Now that you mention it, His Majesty really does have this intention. However, the prerequisite is that you have to produce all those weapons and solve the Qiuci Siege. Otherwise, you see, everything is nonsense."
"If that's the case … it's simple!"
Zhang Feng smiled confidently and said, "This matter is very simple. As long as there are mines, and as long as a large number of blacksmiths join us in half a month, I will be able to produce 10,000 strong crossbows, 100 fake ballistae, Zhuge Divine Crossbows, composite bows, and so on in half a month. But as for the firearms, don't think about it for the time being. Those things need time. Once the crisis in Qiuci City is resolved, and if Chen Tieniu and the others can really complete the experiment I mentioned, I will be able to free myself to produce the firearms!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but say, "Is there no way to bring it forward? This is the best time to destroy the Turks in one fell swoop! "
Zhang Feng glanced at Li Shimin and looked at Li Shimin up and down in amazement. He said, "Lao Li, why do I suspect that you are even more reckless than Old Niu and the others?"
"…"
Li Shimin's expression froze. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Feng was speechless.
"Do you want to go to war that much? I thought you were quite refined, but I didn't expect you to be such a restless person deep down in your bones. "…"
"What are the benefits of going to war?"
"What do we fight for in war?"
"What if we lose in war?"
"Answer these three questions of mine first. If you can answer them, I will personally make you a full steel armor. How about it?"
"…"
Li Shimin was stumped by the questions, but this was not the time to talk about this. However, Li Shimin wanted to wear it!
If it was something that Zhang Feng could say, how could it be bad?
But Li Shimin also suddenly had a kind of alarm.
Previously, in the imperial court, people had been scolding him, saying that he was a reckless person. He had been dissatisfied, but now that Zhang Feng had said the same thing, Li Shimin could not help but pay attention to this problem.
He asked, "Feng Zi, you said that I am restless? How can you tell? "
Zhang Feng rolled his eyes. "Is there a need to see? Look at you chatting with me. What are you talking about? When we talk about war, you are so excited. Isn't it obvious? "
Li Shimin only noticed that something was wrong with him.
However, he still asked, "Then tell me, what do you need to go to war? The three factors you mentioned, what are they?"
Li Shimin was really confused by Zhang Feng.
These questions were usually not a problem for him. However, the problem was that he had too many things on his mind at this moment. How could he think so much?
Zhang Feng smiled and patted Li Shimin's head. "That's it. You don't even know this. What are you talking about?"
"…"
