After giving instructions to Yuan Jing and Yuan Chang, Li Yuanxing signaled that the two of them could go back first. Don't tell the people in his house if you don't understand these things. Li Yuanjing can go to Wei Zheng, and Li Yuanchang can go to Cui Dunli.
Li Yuanxing personally sent the two of them to the middle door, and then turned back to the study.
Lan Qiu was right next to Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing asked: "Are the princesses back?"
"Not yet, Your Highness!" Lan Qiu answered truthfully. Li Yuanxing looked at the hand on his wrist and shook his head helplessly: "It's really crazy, but it doesn't matter, it's rare to have such a relaxing day. You go and make arrangements.
Let Thunder Cavalry General Ashina come to see me tomorrow."
Lan Qiu responded and followed Li Yuanxing obediently.
That night, the concubines of King Qin Li Yuanxing did not return to Admiral Tiance's Mansion until eleven o'clock at night. A group of little girls were more like a flock of birds, making a lot of noise.
But they are Princess Qin, who dares to say that they are not the same.
When they heard that His Highness King Qin had gone to bed, they calmed down. They originally promised to come back before the second watch, but they didn't go home until the third watch. The girls were all afraid that Li Yuanxing would be angry, so they naturally became quiet immediately.
.
In fact, Li Yuanxing was not asleep.
I originally thought that everything was on track, but because Goguryeo suddenly jumped out, it seemed to be busy again.
Li Changying tiptoed quietly and entered the room. Li Yuanxing closed his eyes. Although he didn't know who came in, he must have been one of the seven concubines who entered his room at this time. So Li Yuanxing said softly: "You are so gentle.
Did you break into the house to commit a thief, or do you feel guilty?"
"Your Highness!" Li Changying said coquettishly, and then got into Li Yuanxing's quilt.
Li Yuanxing recognized that it was Li Changying and stretched out his arms: "What new things have you come up with in Yaozhou?"
"I have made a new Feiyan cannon, but the gunpowder made by the Taoist priests is not good. So we did not use gunpowder, but chose kerosene. Anyway, the city wall cannot be blown open, so it is better to light a fire to the enemy's tents and food.
Better." Li Changying leaned on Li Yuanxing and whispered softly.
Li Yuanxing understood that what the Taoist priests used was gunpowder, not explosives, so its lethality was naturally limited.
And if you want to fly far, you naturally can't pack too much medicine.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing asked again: "How far can it fly?"
"Within two thousand steps, the landing point can be kept within three steps. It can fly as far as two thousand eight hundred steps. There are a few math masters who have calculated the impact of wind on flying swallows, but their calculations are not very good.
Accurate, but you should know that if the calculation is not accurate, it will be inconvenient to adjust the flying wing angle on Feiyan!"
Li Yuanxing was really surprised.
You know, guys like Datang actually started to use the principles of aerodynamics.
Surprised, Li Yuanxing remained calm. Such a reaction was normal in Li Changying's eyes. You must know that Li Yuanxing was ordering people to create a legendary artifact, that huge aerial fortress. Li Changying had never dreamed of it, but he
I believe Yaozhou can definitely produce it.
Li Yuanxing did not ask any more questions, but hugged Li Changying forcefully: "Go to sleep. You are allowed to go to Le Min Garden tomorrow!"
Can I sleep here?
Li Changying let Li Yuanxing consume his energy for another twenty minutes, and then he fell asleep leaning on Li Yuanxing.
Early the next morning, Li Yuanxing felt Li Changying get up.
But Li Yuanxing still felt sleepy, so he slept a little longer.
When Li Yuanxing finally fell asleep, he was startled when he looked at his watch. It was only half past six in the morning.
"Your Highness, get up, breakfast is ready!" Today it was Yuan Chun's turn to stay in the mansion.
"The princesses seem to have gone out again?" Li Yuanxing asked. Yuanchun helped Li Yuanxing get dressed and said: "They went out half an hour ago, and I think they have arrived at Lemin Garden by now. The princesses said they were going to Lemin Garden
Have breakfast in the garden.”
Li Yuan was happy and said to Yuan Chun: "I wonder if the people who open the store in Le Min Yuan are tired."
"They are not tired. Yesterday I heard that a snack seller made more than 20 pounds in one day and night. In order to avoid selling out, all kinds of materials were piled up in the house, even the sleeping room.
It took up most of it. The store hired a dozen more waiters, divided into three shifts, each shift lasted four hours, and the fire was never extinguished."
"It's great. People can make money, so they are naturally happy."
"But I heard that the daily wages of Chang'an helpers in Le Min Yuan have increased by 20% compared with other places. It seems that the wages of chefs have at least doubled." Yuanchun said happily, it seemed that the common people were benefiting, she
It’s like making money too.
While Li Yuanxing was having breakfast, Ashinadur arrived.
"Have you eaten yet? Sit down together!"
"Thank you, Your Highness. Ashnadur was not polite. After sitting down, he picked up the bowl and started eating."
Li Yuanxing had finished eating and said while wiping his mouth: "Last time, after the Battle of Shuofang, 70,000 of Jieli's elite troops were actually taken into Chang'an. However, only a few of these people were scattered and sent to the Hegong Camp.
We went to work, but many of the tough soldiers were sent to the Jingyang Coal Mine."
Ashinadur knew what Li Yuanxing was talking about.
And he also knew that there were about 50,000 people who were divided among the various tribes on the grassland, and those who were dragged into Chang'an could be said to be all fierce soldiers. Then there were more than 300,000 people who were brought by the King of Qin with money and other things.
They were replaced on the grassland, and most of these people were from Jieli's original tribe.
It can also be said that they are the family of this fierce soldier.
But Ashnadur didn't know how these people were arranged. He still doesn't know where these people are.
"Have you been to the coal mine?" Li Yuanxing asked.
"I've been there. Those who work in the coal mine are considered coolies. But His Highness feeds them quite well." Ashinadur didn't beat around the bush, and there was no need for him to beat around the bush in front of Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing gestured to give Ashinadur another breakfast, and then said: "Their family originally opened up wasteland in Hebei. A few months ago, I brought them to Huazhou one after another, dispersed them, and mixed them with ordinary people.
The village is not small in Huazhou, but there are more than 300,000 people, but there are nearly 100,000 households. Those who immigrated from Huazhou, plus the original residents, account for almost 40% of the village."
Ashinadur didn't say anything, he still didn't quite understand what Li Yuanxing wanted to do.
"Go to the Jinghe River to recruit troops. Anyone who is willing to fight for our Tang Dynasty will be exempted from labor service. Killing three enemies will allow one person in the family to be exempted from slavery. After serving in the army for three years, an individual can also be exempted from slavery. At that time, it will be over.
If you want to take your family back to the grassland, I will not stop them, and I will also pay them travel expenses."
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Ashinadur stood up.
"Your Highness, it's not easy. These people are die-hard loyalists to Jie Li. Even if they have lost some of their blood as coolies, these people are still difficult to control. Can you select some of them and do it slowly? Or break them up and integrate them into others.
Legion!" Ashnadur was unsure.
You know, the power of Jieli on the grassland is no longer there.
But there is still the little Khan of Tuli, and there are also other tribes that are inextricably related to the Jieli tribe.
Once these people have different intentions, they will cause the army to mutiny. He cannot afford this crime.
"You think of a way. Ten thousand people is the minimum number. I need a very elite team of elite cavalry, and they are stronger than the Mohe people and Khitan people. Your three thousand people are far from enough. This team needs to be used day and night."
Running for five hundred miles, no matter how elite three thousand people are, they can't face an army several times larger. Ten thousand people are more reliable."
Ashinadur thought about it again and again, but was not sure enough.
"Go back and think about it. When you have time, go to Huazhou in Jingyang. This matter is not urgent, but don't delay it for too long. I will give you a privilege. If the slave workers in Jingyang perform well, you can
You are allowed to take a three-day vacation in Chang'an City, and the expenses will be paid by the Prince of Qin's Palace. If anything goes wrong with the people on vacation, it will be your fault!"
"The humble general takes your orders!"
Ashnadur can't refuse, this is a military order.
And if he refuses, there are many generals of the Tang Dynasty who are willing to take over the task. It is not just 10,000 cavalry for 500 miles a day and night. Among the Tang army, there are at least ten generals who can do this. Among these people, I
Ranked at an upper-middle level at most.
Ashnadur left, frowning and leaving.
He really had a headache. He was not afraid that the captured Jieli tribe soldiers would not join the army, nor was he afraid that these people were incompetent. What he was most afraid of was that these people would not obey the rules, make trouble, or even mutiny.
Wei Zheng comes in.
"Your Highness, General Ashina seems to be unable to do this."
"He always needs to grow up. This little thing is not difficult, right?" Li Yuanxing believes that Ashinadur should not just be a general, he is a handsome man. At least in the future, there will be Li Ji and 70% of Hou Junji.
The ability to lead an army, and in the cavalry category, can be said to be very strong.
Wei Zheng then suggested: "Your Highness, it is better to send someone to help him, at least to give him an idea!"
"No, if he can't finish it, just change another team to execute it. Whether it's Lao Cheng's, General Yuchi's, or Zhang Shigui's, they can all do the job." Seeing that Li Yuanxing had made up his mind, Wei Zheng stopped trying to persuade him.
.In Admiral Tiance’s view, there is only one more choice, not a necessity.
Li Yuanxing added: "Tell the Khitans and Mohe people that I need the most elite cavalry, let them prepare it. When and how to use it, I will tell them later. Let them pay more attention in the past two years. I want it."
It's the elite, not the number of people. Don't think that because they have fought a few smooth battles, they don't know how high the sky is."
"Your Highness, why not take this opportunity to conduct another military exercise?"
After hearing Wei Zheng's suggestion, Li Yuanxing thought it was a good idea.
But then I thought about it, this is not a festival. If there is no celebration, we will hold military exercises. This is not a clear demonstration to foreign envoys.
After much deliberation, Li Yuanxing did not dare to agree: "Let me think again!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
