Li Shimin did not dare to forget about attacking the Turks for even a moment.
Therefore, after Zhang Feng made these divine weapons this time, Li Shimin's ambition grew.
This was actually not much of an ambition. After all, with the Wei River Alliance and the Turks' plundering of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, not to mention Li Shimin, every Tang wanted to slaughter these damn barbarians with their own hands.
However, these barbarians came and went without a trace. The terrain of the grassland was extremely complicated. Anyone who went there would be trapped in the grassland to death.
This was what Li Shimin had always wanted to do but did not dare to do.
After that, he encountered Zhang Feng's obstruction. The appearance of food gave him hope, but he could not wait any longer.
After all, Tuli and Xieli were attacking from the north and south at the same time. At this time, he still did not know their purpose. If he did not act, how could he let the people and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty be at ease?
How could he let Li Shimin be at ease?
However, the problem was that although there were divine weapons now, could they really break into the Turks?
They did not doubt the ability of these weapons, but because of the number of people and the problems in the army at this time.
However, Li Shimin did not give them a chance to explain.
He waved his hand and suppressed the words that they wanted to say. Then, he said, "I know what you are thinking. You just want to persuade me to wait until after the spring harvest to talk about this. I'm just talking about this. When the time comes, it will be best if we can defeat or destroy them and break into the Turks at the same time. But … if we can't, then forget it. "
Hearing this, Yuchi Gong and others breathed a deep sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Father, there is one thing that I don't understand about Qiuci this time."
"Go ahead."
Seeing Li Shimin agree, Li Chengqian said, "Father, at this time, there are military issues in Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Shazhou, and other places, but there is no news about Qiuci. Is this because it is not cold for the time being? Or is it because the news there is blocked at this time and there is no report?"
Speaking of which.
Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Cheng Yaojin.
Regarding this matter, Cheng Yaojin, who was in charge of the Longyou garrison, should have the most right to speak.
However, Cheng Yaojin acted as if he didn't know about this matter. He evaded the topic and said, "Your Majesty, this subject doesn't know about this matter for the time being. Qiuci is located in an important trade area between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions. This subject believes that there should be a large number of merchants' winter reserves there. Therefore, there shouldn't be a problem for the time being."
As he spoke, Cheng Yaojin hurriedly gave Yuchi Gong a look.
Yuchi Gong was a little speechless, but he still said, "Your Majesty, I think so too."
At this moment, Li Chengqian said, "Since that's the case, I have no more questions."
"Then, go and prepare!" Li Shimin said and left the East Palace in a hurry.
After Li Shimin left, several old generals, Wei Zheng, and the others also left in a hurry.
Although the matter of the Crown Prince guarding the border had been settled, they still needed to arrange how many soldiers to send, how many guards to send, and so on.
Li Chengqian also had a lot of heavy work to do.
For example, he needed to go to the ancestral temple to pay respects and bid farewell to the retired emperor and the empress.
This delay took a total of six hours.
After Li Chengqian arrived with a dozen large chests and a group of palace maids and guards, Li Chengqian had finished his preparations.
Li Shimin personally read the declaration of war, and only then did Li Chengqian leave in a hurry.
That scene seemed to want the entire Chang 'an City to know. At this time, Chang' an City was already full of people.
At this time, the people had already recovered from the joy of the phosphate fertilizer, and only then did they know about the war in Qiuci.
Although taxes and other things would increase once a war broke out, because of the previous example of the Wei River Alliance, not only did the people not object, but almost all of them came to see the Crown Prince off when they heard that he was guarding the border.
However, there was only one person who was basking in the sun and drinking wine on the small balcony of White Deer College. Wasn't he carefree and unfettered?
Who else could it be other than Zhang Feng?
Last night, Zhang Feng had not slept since the explosion of the cannon. He had been waiting for news of the mansion's soldiers coming to his doorstep.
At daybreak, the government soldiers still didn't come. Zhang Feng couldn't sit still anymore.
He directly hired a sedan chair and wandered around Chang 'an City. He even went to Niu Pi Huang's rubber factory for two hours.
Although the rubber factory had moved to the mountains, the rubber workshop in Tonghui Fang still existed.
Now, not only were they making rugby balls and basketballs, but they were also making compact rubber products, such as rubber pipes, which ranged from the size of chopsticks to the size of a washbasin.
To put it bluntly.
This was his ancestral skill of making cowhide, and he couldn't bear to pass it on to outsiders.
In addition, Zhang Feng had taught him some skills of making rubber, so he didn't dare to easily pass it on to outsiders.
Although he was in charge of the rubber factory on the mountain, his disciples, and his wife were all competent, so he had more time to come here and study this thing.
What was this?
This was all money!
And most importantly.
In Chang 'an City, his wife and children were now on the mountain, and even his children had entered the academy because of Zhang Feng.
Now that he had money, if he didn't drink and drink, wouldn't he feel sorry for himself?
