Li Erduan sat in the Manlu Palace, convinced that from now on, no matter how skilled the tribes and foreigners were, they would never threaten China again. However, if you buy something, you must use it. The steam vehicle used to replace the war horse can
After spending a lot of money, Li Er was eating snacks and drinking tea with a leisurely look on his face at the moment, but he also had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Although his face was serious when he was being lectured that day, but... his face was serious, but Li Er felt happy in his heart.
It's time for these beasts to be convinced!
After all, in the Forbidden Army, strength alone speaks for itself.
This steam car is more powerful and ruthless than the cavalry. Who dares to disobey? What's the use of disobeying.
hey-hey……
I'm so far-sighted, I'm not joking.
But since he wants to use it... Li Er thought about it and realized that this matter is really not simple.
Because although the steam car is powerful, it is still a newly created thing.
There are thousands if not tens of thousands of parts on it, which can be said to be highly complex, extremely expensive and difficult to manufacture - let alone completely replace the cavalry in the Forbidden Army.
Even if we first create a vanguard force dedicated to using steam vehicles, this will take a long time and a lot of money.
What's more, this steam car has so many parts. What if there is a "headache and fever" problem when the car travels a long way? There will be no team of professors from Lingzhou College to repair it, which means...
Not only can the production of this steam car not be fast, it cannot even start production immediately. It will definitely need to be adjusted and tested.
But Li Er is not in a hurry, after all...
After all, Datang's economy has been developing rapidly recently, and the treasury is really not short of money. It is not difficult to force a team with the latest technology to test weapons. But the problem is how to test...
At present, the Romans are ambitious and have big plans. They are obviously a real threat to the Tang Dynasty. It is best to use these Romans to sacrifice swords - no, sacrificing chariots is of course the best.
But when the Romans were in the western part of Europe, it was not easy to transport their ordinary cavalry troops, not to mention steam vehicles with complex structures and malfunctions that were difficult to deal with, and even grain and grass supplies. The burdens Cheng Yaojin and his son had shouldered in recent years were huge.
Quite heavy.
And if you think about it this way...
It is obvious that the young people in Southeast Bay will not be able to take advantage of the power of this steam car for the time being. After all, that place is far away from the ocean, and it is a bit strange to think that it has to travel thousands of miles to transport steam cars to fight on land.
So after thinking about it...
Li Er's heart moved.
The Chinese state looked like it had flattened all the heroes on all sides. Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, Turks, and all the heroes in Mobei had all been sent away by joy.
But the area north of Mobei... is still too vast. Although I have sent imperial troops there to sweep the area and prepare to establish counties, they have not been very successful.
After all, those places are very cold on the one hand and too big on the other. It is still very difficult for ordinary armies to track down the enemy.
First, it is difficult to search for traces of the enemy. Second, even if they are found, it is difficult to defeat them as soon as possible. There are no mountains in those places, but there are endless plains, and they are all jungles composed of extremely tall giant trees. It is easy to be defeated.
The enemy ran away...
After all, China's army is not suitable for the environment there in terms of water and soil, so it would be too difficult to pursue them over long distances.
And now...
Li Er couldn't help but be tempted, because the frozen soil north of Mobei, as well as the tribes living on the frozen soil that were not convinced by China's civilization, were obviously suitable for testing the actual combat effectiveness of steam vehicles!
Thinking of this, Li Er took a breath, suddenly raised his head, and called the waiter.
Queen Changsun on the side was slightly surprised. She didn't know what Li Er suddenly thought of while eating grapes, and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Erlang?"
"Guanyin Maid, you may not know that I recently made a super fun new toy..."
Queen Changsun was confused when she heard this, but after a while, the chamberlain actually arrived. Then Queen Changsun also heard Li Er's order - and knew what Li Er was thinking about.
He couldn't help but snorted in annoyance, "You are just sitting and resting while eating fruit and thinking about expanding your territory. I think you are just a toiler!"
Li Er chuckled, not dissatisfied at all, but looking at the fruit in his hand... Li Er was suddenly startled.
Inexplicably, I thought of Sun Simiao, who got a microscope some time ago... and the microscope itself!
This thing is the key to the future development of agriculture in the Tang Dynasty... I don't know how the students and professors at Chengxi Academy are doing with their research.
Li Er was thoughtful, and he was naturally a little distracted while eating the fruit peeled by Queen Changsun. However, although the Queen didn't say anything, she carefully observed Li Er's expression after a while, and she still showed a somewhat worried look.
.
For Empress Changsun, the top priority in the world is that her husband and children can live in peace.
Such values, if they were in the West, would most likely be blown away, because the Christian world attaches great importance to this.
However, although Empress Changsun didn't know anything about Christianity, she also knew that people can't help themselves when wandering in the rivers and lakes. After thinking about it, she had to warn Li Er not to work too hard - but there is nothing more to do.
That’s it.
After all, she is a female family member and cannot interfere too much in political affairs... She knows only a limited number of things, so of course there is nothing useful to comfort and help Li Er. But right now...
The situation in the Tang Dynasty is obviously still not optimistic, which means that as a wife and mother, I am afraid that I can't be optimistic anymore. But... thinking about it, Empress Changsun couldn't help but think of Li Sheng.
Although he has left the Ganlu Hall at this moment, Li Er is still dealing with government affairs, and it is usually time for him to go to sleep, but think about it... Li Sheng is now an adult!
Although the world Li Er faces... is no longer the "pseudo world" of the past, but the real world, which is much more complex and dangerous, but with Li Sheng's help, Li Er can probably do it.
It's about getting through the hard times.
After such self-confession, Empress Changsun had no choice but to shake her head in the end, thinking that the grandson here will have children and grandchildren. In the future, it should still depend on whether Li Sheng's good fortune can play a role in the prosperity and peace of China. Of course...
…
Prosperity and peace are not obtained for free. Empress Changsun, who accompanied Li Er through the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty, clearly understood this. And... although as a mother, she certainly did not want Li Sheng to go out and do dangerous things, but...
…
Correspondingly, Empress Changsun did not want Li Sheng to forget the war and become unfamiliar with the battle methods of the year. Knowing that fighting is not good and not fighting is one thing, but in the upcoming world war...
