Of course, this change... shouldn't be that serious, but what is certain is that,
Because of this war, the Tang Dynasty will definitely increase taxes and assessments, and the people's life pressure will suddenly increase, and... this increase will obviously lead to a lot of dissatisfaction, and if something happens to Cheng Yaojin at this time, what will happen?
There will be civil strife or something, and this part... obviously I can only deal with it bit by bit with patience, otherwise how will I regain my desire? As for the rest...
Whether Cheng Yaojin can win, whether he can survive this extremely dangerous military adventure, I'm afraid... Looking at the faces of the ministers in the palace, it is obvious that there is a high probability that there is no other way out. As the saying goes, there will be no solution.
...Don't say it's too late at this moment. Cheng Zhijie, an old guy, decided to take risks before. Didn't he already have an action plan at that time? As a result...
Li Er sighed, worried but he could only do this for now. In any case, he should get the internal affairs done first. This aspect should not be a problem. As for the powerful enemies outside Beitu, Cheng Yaojin's dangerous plan can
Whether it is effective or not is not something you can control. You can only...
I prayed silently.
But when the meeting ended, Li Er suddenly realized... He really didn't expect that a meeting today would end in such a hopeless way - and this was different from the troubles he had encountered several times before.
It's different, for example, the various issues in Southeast Asia... Although there were times when we were at a loss what to do, everyone was convinced that the problems in Southeast Asia would be solved sooner or later.
But now, it is basically clear to everyone that Chang'an will not be able to provide any support for Cheng Yaojin's dangerous plan this time... No support will be provided, and this is not a question of whether to provide it or not.
Rather, there is nothing that can be done at all, because the entire military action plan was very tight from the beginning, and now it is even more difficult.
The meeting was over, and Wei Zheng and others were about to leave the hall. However, before leaving, Wei Zheng turned back and glanced at Li Er. Seeing that Li Er looked worried, he sighed softly and turned back to look at Li Er.
He bowed again and said, "Your Majesty... The Tang Dynasty has its own destiny. Even if the road is dangerous, it will be able to turn danger into good fortune."
"This..." Upon hearing this, Li Er's face turned darker for a moment, and his brows furrowed more tightly - but then he nodded and said, "You are right, I understand, go ahead."
Wei Zheng seemed hesitant to speak, but...he looked out of the corner of his eye and saw Li Er's expression gradually softening. Knowing that Li Er understood what he meant, he felt relieved and turned around to leave.
Wei Zheng was one of the first-class elites of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Sheng had not emerged, there would have been almost no one in the world who could surpass him. His overall level was the same as that of Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Sun Wuji and others, but compared to these people, Wei Zheng
His talents are much higher.
The truly capable elites of the Tang Dynasty had already divided into camps at the time of Wagangzhai. Those who could really fight basically followed Li Er, but Wei Zheng, the most powerful one, did not care about choosing a master at all, so he joined Li Jiancheng
Hun - similar to Zhou Yu and Lu Su, who were the governors back then, they didn't care whether Sun Quan's level was high or low.
This point is not groundless, but is proven by historical facts - if Li, the second-generation God of War, had no reason, why would he treat any minister with special courtesy? Wei Zheng's courtesy was basically beyond the standards.
As a real elite with superpowers, Wei Zheng would certainly not talk about chicken soup when the inner court meeting was over. And the meaning of that sentence is... if it is based on the past configuration of the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army, and the operations delineated accordingly.
Space, then this wave... The probability of Cheng Yaojin overturning is at least 70 to 80% - of course, neither Li Er nor Wei Zheng will deny that although Cheng Yaojin's path is wild, the benefits are real
Cruel. Once it really succeeds, it will directly hit the main force of Rome, and it can be said that the vitality will be greatly damaged.
This even makes Li Er and Wei Zheng and the others feel excited when they think about it... But after all, everyone has come through troubled times. It is not that they have never seen cases of taking risks to gain great advantages, nor have they never done it themselves, or even
Not once or twice, but...this kind of thing is not a long-term solution after all, because the expectation of victory is too good...the losses behind it are also too heavy, and losses, whether people or the army, are not always bearable.
rise.
However... that was calculated based on the previous configuration of the imperial army at that time in the past.
now……
Although it is difficult to say what effect these fifty additional steam cars will have, it is reasonable to say that the power of these steam cars was confirmed by everyone who rushed to Lingzhou in person and then watched the experiment with their own eyes. It is true.
Unstoppable force!
And with this variable, it may be difficult to say whether China can win this battle, but whether it can find some kind of special opportunity... The kind of opportunity that cannot be used without steam vehicles, which is not an opportunity in the first place, is
It’s hard to say. And this...
Among the philosophers of later generations, it was called "the role of human beings." This so-called role of human beings actually does not just mean how people are, but also means that as the times change, many things that were not found in previous generations will appear.
For example, grenades, of course the Romans also had them, but as for the steam vehicle, Li Er, Wei Zheng, and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty Cabinet could all say with certainty that the Romans had no equivalent.
And...the Romans had never seen a steam vehicle, which meant that a steam vehicle was not only powerful, but also more tactically flexible to use—the strongest weapon was always a weapon that the enemy had never seen before.
But... despite being so relieved by Wei Zheng, Li Er still felt that it was not reliable.
First of all, there are too few steam vehicles, and the number is just here, and the Romans' military strength is probably 100,000 more elite soldiers than the Tang Dynasty.
The key point is that if the Roman army retreats, it will be as primitive as the troops of Goguryeo and Tuyuhun that the Tang Dynasty fought before. That's it. But the Romans also have various military weapons. Not to mention, the reason why Rome is
It is the current number one enemy of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the fact that the Romans relied on civilization for their weapons and weapons and were extremely powerful, it is also because the fighting spirit of the Romans is on the same level as the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty, as well as barbarians such as Goguryeo and Tuyuhun. Like this
The army... It can be imagined that the quality is extremely high. Unless the steam vehicle reaches a certain scale, it is difficult to say, at least it is difficult to say with certainty that it will work... At least in front of the extra 100,000 elite soldiers, everything will be
Hard to say.
Unless... this steam vehicle can be larger in scale, such as about two hundred vehicles!
