Chapter 60: Li Shimin's Three Swords

(I ask for collection, I recommend...) It's important, it's important... Help the author, have the ability to invest a wave, you won't lose, and the income will arrive in a few days! )

Three days later... It was the day when Li Zhan was a high-roller car on the line of Zhuqiao Village.

Li Chengqian rode his own carriage to Zhuqiao Village early, knowing that if his eldest brother really built this kind of waterwheel that could pump water from the lake with high water on the shore.

Then the people of Datang will get great benefits because of this, and thousands of people will be able to survive, which is a great thing.

It's just that just after Li Chengqian left the East Palace, Hou Guangliang, the boss of Li Chengqian's sixth rate in the East Palace, came to Li Chengqian's carriage and reported a message to Li Chengqian when he had just arrived in Dongshi.

"What... Someone has been following us? ”

Li Chengqian looked at Hou Guangliang in surprise.

"Yes, Your Highness... It's not a wave of people, it seems to be two waves, but one side is unprofessional, and we quickly discovered it, but the other wave is very professional, if it weren't for one of my subordinates who is a scout who follows my father, for a while, I really wouldn't be able to find out. ”

"Who's going to follow me?" Li Chengqian thought for a while, but he thought of his two brothers, which made Li Chengqian frown slightly: "Can you get rid of these people?" ”

"Yes... As long as we quietly separate the two ways, we will definitely be able to get rid of these people. ”

Hou Guangliang's words made Li Chengqian nod and said: "Then separate the two roads and dump them, no matter who it is, I, Li Chengqian, will not be offended, hehe...!" ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and looked at Hou Guangliang and said: "I, the prince, actually do a very aggrieved job, but they are all relatives, and I, Li Chengqian, don't want to pursue it to the end, just forget about the grievances."

Just don't touch my big brother... Otherwise, I don't care about my brother. ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian showed a hint of ruthlessness, and Hou Guangliang bowed his head slightly and said, "Obey...!" ”

In this way, the carriage of the East Palace was divided into two, and the people who followed it were easily thrown off, and they went straight to Zhuqiao Village in Li Station.

At this time, Zhuqiao Village is witnessing the birth of an epoch-making tool... This is the high drum car.

Under a blue sky, a waterwheel appeared on the edge of a lake, and around the waterwheel a movable bucket was placed between the river and the fields.

A few young men came to one of the railings of the cart, held on to the railing and stepped on the shaft, and you will see that the shaft drove the cart. The cylinder goes down to the water and fills it with water, and then continues to turn, and the cylinder turns to the edge of the field and pours the water into the field.

What's more, when there is a flood, step on the axis in the opposite direction, and you can also drain the water.

..........................

"Li Gongzi is really a god...!"

Soon, after the high drum car pumped the water from the lake to the field, all the people of Zhuqiao Village were boiling, and they all shouted Li Gongzi God, but at this time, Li Zhan directly dragged Li Chengqian out and said: "Folks, you are all thanking the wrong person, the biggest credit for this cylinder car is not me."

It's my brother, who actually invented it... In the future, if you want to thank him, thank him. ”

"Oh...!" With a sound of enlightenment, a group of people in Zhuqiao Village began to thank Li Chengqian again.

Seriously, being thanked for not having credit is actually quite blushing, Li Chengqian also nodded symbolically, and then stood by Li Zhan's side.

After the test of the high-altitude drum car was successful, Li Zhan took Li Chengqian home.

All the way home, Li Chengqian was full of praise for the high-drum car invented by his eldest brother, and after arriving home, Li Zhan also handed over all the drawings of the high-drum car to Li Chengqian.

This time, Li Chengqian was not polite at all, and directly took over the drawings of Li Zhangao's rotary car.

"People are lost...! Some of them actually saw that we were following, so they went separately, although we can tell which way is true, but His Majesty said that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince separates the two roads and does not want people to follow, then we will not follow. ”

In the Ganlu Temple, a man knelt in front of Li Shimin.

This man is known as the commander of the bad guys, the bad guy Xue Xuan, the bad guy was the messenger in charge of the investigation and arrest in the Tang Dynasty, and he was called "bad" or "bad guy". Qing Liang Zhangju's "Title Record" quoted "Saying Ling Continuation": "The investigation of affairs is called a bad person in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a bad handsome master, that is, who is the big man of the Han Dynasty." ”

This bad guy is not as cool as in the animation, but they are indeed a sword in Li Shimin's hands.

Li Shimin has three swords, the first sword talisman sword is the hundred horses, the predecessor of the hundred horses is Li Shimin's most proud Xuanjia army, Li Yuan was responsible for defending the Turks in the Taiyuan area, the Turks are arrogant, and it is imminent to form an elite light cavalry force. "Zizhi Tongjian" recorded: "Yuan selected 2,000 people who were good at riding and arching, so that they ate and gave up their diet like the Turks, or when they encountered the Turks, they would serve and attack them, and they won many successes before and after, and the Turks were quite afraid of them." "To be able to make the Turks afraid, it must not be an ordinary army, this may be the earliest prototype of the Xuanjia Army.

As Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin grew up in the army since he was a child, good at fighting, generous, and righteous. When Li Yuan raised an army, Li Shimin quickly gathered his subordinates to lead Qiu Xinggong, Duan Zhixuan and others to form a strong army and fight everywhere, which was very brave. Later, the hero Qin Qiong and the famous general Wei Chi Jingde also joined it, and the famous Xuanjia Army in history was officially established. "Zizhi Tongjian" recorded: "King Qin Shimin selected more than 1,000 elite horsemen, all dressed in armor, divided into left and right teams. "This is probably the early Xuanjia Army.

"Zizhi Tongjian" said: "King Shimin of Qin Shuai Xuanjia rescued him, Shichong was defeated, and his cavalry general Ge Yanzhang was captured, and more than 6,000 people were captured, and Shichong escaped. "This is the famous Battle of Tiger Prison Pass.

In 621 AD, Li Shimin led 1,000 Xuanjia troops to defeat Wang Shichong's cavalry, captured Wang Shichong's general Ge Yanzhang, and Wang Shichong fled to Luoyang. In the same year, Dou Jiande personally led an army of 120,000 to support Wang Shichong. Li Shimin selected 3,500 elite cavalry, of which more than 1,000 Xuanjia troops marched to the Tiger Pass.

The reason why he dared to use thousands of people against hundreds of thousands of people was because Li Shimin had confidence in his heart, and the Xuanjia army inside could be used as ten. During the battle, Li Shimin used the rapid detour tactics of infantry hard resistance light cavalry, and at the last critical moment, he released the Xuanjia Army to fight, defeating Dou Jiande's department in one fell swoop, causing the whole line to collapse. The situation in the world completely turned to the side of the Don Army.

Later, after the change of Xuanwumen and the ascension to the throne, Li Shimin experienced the war, experienced the war, understood that the country was not easy to come by, summed up the experience from the rapid demise of the Sui Dynasty, implemented reforms, and ensured the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people.

One of the measures is the introduction of the "government military system". The government soldiers are also called guards, and the government collects them from the households, enlists at the age of 21, and immunizes them at the age of 60. The guards usually work at home, and the farmers accumulate together for military training. Once the war began, it was collected by order of the imperial court and handed over to the commanders of the generals.

This kind of military system is called "serving soldiers in the peasants," and they are recruited from the peasants to give them military supplies to reduce the burden of military spending. And without soldiers who have been with each other for a long time, ambitious commanders cannot support their own troops. This is a very clever approach.

He split the Xuanjia Army. Some of them became the "hundred horsemen" next to the palace guards, who often waited near the palace and stood guard in shifts, and were not allowed to leave the capital. The other part was handed over to the general Li Jing, in 629 AD, Li Jing led an army of 100,000 to attack the Eastern Turks in four ways, and achieved a great victory, and the Xuanjia army at this time still played a war advantage.
