Li Xiaogong, Li Ji, Li Daozong, Zhang Liang, Tang Jian...
This group of generals had just seen Li Er looking at the southern horizon, thinking about His Majesty the Emperor's opinion of Li Sheng, and thinking about the political situation between the DPRK and China. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Li Er started talking about military affairs and the fate of the country -
This directly caused all the generals to blush. They secretly cursed themselves for being so stupid. The emperor didn't even care about the political situation, but was still worried about the situation in the world. As a result, he didn't think in that direction...
The generals were very ashamed for a moment, even thinking that Li Sheng's skills were so good, but he was much younger than everyone present, and he was still a young man... Even based on the age of everyone present, Li Sheng was regarded as
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young man, but... with a wave of his hand, this boy added this divine object to the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty in just a few minutes. And furthermore, this is not an ordinary divine object, because this
The improvement of the strength of the Forbidden Army by East and West is definitely...
Even when the two brothers were thinking about the struggle between the DPRK and China, His Majesty did not forget the development path of the Tang Dynasty.
This pattern!
And then, as if echoing the voices of the generals present, Li Er looked around and then spoke.
"Of course this matter cannot be solved hastily. But now you have all seen it..."
As he said this, Li Eryi looked around with stern eyes. The generals suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and their old faces turned red to the roots of their ears.
——There is no doubt that the contempt shown by everyone just now towards the experiments and demonstrations personally presided over by Your Majesty has been noticed by Your Majesty a long time ago.
"This steam vehicle is extremely powerful. It is incomparable to ordinary armaments, and the power of horses is even more unmatched. In the past..."
Speaking of this, Li Er's eyes became colder and his tone became more serious,
"Although we, the Tang Dynasty, have strong troops and horses, we know nothing about the world further west in the Western Regions - let alone the ability to intervene. I think our country has opened the Silk Road since the Han Dynasty, and we also had exchanges with the former Roman dynasty.
Book. And what happened next?”
Li Er's face was serious and gloomy, "No one has thought about these things anymore. But now..."
"With this steam train in China, the meaning of the words 'strong soldiers and strong horses' will also change from now on. Do you...do you understand the mystery of this?"
After saying this, Li Er showed a chilling smile.
All the generals present felt their hearts tremble, and they immediately understood what Li Er meant.
This is to rebuild the foreign policy of the Han Dynasty and regain the supreme status of China in ancient times!
And all this is absolutely impossible without military power, and can even be said to be completely absurd. But...
Just as Li Er said.
If China is still just an ordinary force with "strong military and strong horses", then this matter... is somewhat far away. After all, the Tang dynasty has only been established for how many years? The founding team is still full and complete.
How many things are going on in the country, and how many resources can be invested in the construction of the Forbidden Army to support further external expansion.
But now...
Things are different.
This steam car...is completely different from anything in the past.
Once this thing is mass-produced, the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty will be like your majesty's fantasy before - there will be no need for cavalry from now on.
As for the Tang Dynasty, it was no longer an "ordinary level" of powerful soldiers and horses, but had become a far more terrifying existence than the former!
If we say that during the Han Dynasty, light cavalry and archery were the mainstream, and they were also the main combat strength of the Han Dynasty's forbidden army.
Then in the later Northern Dynasties, this matter became heavy cavalry - and the role of bows and arrows was also weakened and turned into grenades.
As soon as the grenade was released, the generals present were not ordinary people. They all realized that the era might undergo profound changes...
Because anyone, even without the slightest military literacy, can see that a grenade is much more powerful than any weapon... No matter how great your martial arts skills are or how tightly the armor is wrapped, as long as it is eaten at close range
Once a grenade detonates, you will definitely be sent away on the spot. No matter what general or famous general you are, you will not be able to use it.
The emergence of the steam car now is equivalent to turning the "vague trend" shown by grenades at that time into a reality.
The looming signs of change back then have finally entered the "complete body" stage.
The Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty, starting from today, can be regarded as truly reborn!
But then again...
The group of people present are all old people who were in power when the "Tang Army" was still in power. Although they are all warriors and have strong military virtues, they still have a lot more experience - that is to say,
Although I understand that Li Er's lecture is absolutely serious, I also know in my heart that this matter is not that simple. His Majesty's main intention is obviously to let everyone understand the power of this steam car - and the value of change...
After saying that the Tang Dynasty must remain enterprising and insist on expanding its sphere of influence, some of it was just to emphasize this point.
The group of people present were all generals at the Duke level, and they were all old people. At this moment, they were reminded by Li Er, and they felt a sigh in their hearts. Because...it was also because of Li Er's secret reminder that everyone realized,
At this age, I am really old, and I am slowly becoming less familiar with new things. This time when the emperor said this, I suddenly became sober, and I also understood secretly...
From now on, the training direction of the Forbidden Army in China may also change.
In the past, it was about riding horses and raising horses, but now it is about how to use the steam car!
Of course, it would be false to say that this huge change does not make people feel frightened and nervous. After all, it has been too short for this matter to develop so far - from what I learned, what?! Your Majesty actually wants to replace the cavalry in the Forbidden Army.
Tang never raised horses?
It only took a few days to see the scene today... All the generals were curious and found various excuses to come over to see the situation.
But change finally happened!
Although Li Er still has some words left unsaid, there is no need to say this part. The Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty, the Forbidden Army of China, and every high-level military elite in the Forbidden Army understand in their hearts...
The power of this steam car will undoubtedly one day be mastered by others like a grenade, and by then...
The powerful advantage of one vehicle overpowering several war horses like today's will gradually be lost. At that time, if the Tang Dynasty... had not been able to adapt to the combat power of steam vehicles, it would have been a big joke.
The generals were filled with awe, and quickly understood the vigilance in Li Er's words. They all left behind Li Er and came out of the queue. Then they turned around and bowed solemnly to Li Er.
