Since he wants to work together to break through, Li Tai decided to tell the eldest grandson Wuji about the next major plan, after all, the uncle is a real yin man and a ruthless person, and in the case of the same interests of both parties, with this great god, he should be able to deal with the yin man and ruthless man in the East Palace.

However, with the plans of the Ministry of Spirit, Murowei and other departments, he planned to tell the old man in a few days.

The uncle was too anxious, and there is no bottom on what Pei Xingjian and the Khitan clan will talk about.

"Uncle, I think so, Gai Suwen is suspicious and treacherous by nature, we are fighting for time in Pyongyang, if we want to drag Gai Suwen, we must make a disturbance before Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang enter Pyongyang.

Idle matters can't attract Gai Suwen's attention, let's play big if we want to!

Isn't our Datang heavily garrisoned in Youzhou?

Now that there are still two months left before the spring ploughing time, we will hold an all-army actual combat exercise on the border of Goguryeo, which will not only make Goguryeo highly nervous, but also delay their spring ploughing and affect the grain harvest after autumn.

If we are lucky enough, Baiqi will be able to pull out the messenger of Quan Wensheng, and if Gai Suwen doesn't get the news, we may be able to fish this old Wang Ba out of Pyongyang! ”

Hearing what he said, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Don't think about fishing out of Pyongyang, Quan Wensheng will cost his life, if he lets Baiqi kill all the messengers, he is not worthy of letting Gai Suwen entrust him with a heavy mission to Chang'an."

So what is a real combat exercise?

I understand martial arts exercises, but actual combat exercises are unheard of! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he forgot about this stubble, the ancients did not have actual combat exercises in military training, at most it was a military parade exercise.

That is to say, pulling out the large army to unilaterally practice formation tactics, without presetting imaginary enemies and not setting tactical goals, in the final analysis, it is also a drill in the nature of a military parade.

"The actual combat exercise is something that I came up with on the spot, and it is almost the same as the exercise, but the army must be divided into two, one side plays the role of the Tang Dynasty, and the other side plays the role of the enemy army.

The only difference between the two sides is that the swords and guns cannot be opened, and the arrows must be removed.

If he could carry out an actual combat exercise on the border of Goguryeo with tens of thousands of troops, and then find a reason to openly designate Quangae Suwen as an imaginary enemy, he would definitely be able to deter Gai Suwen and make him sleep, so that he would not dare to act rashly even if he received the messenger news! ”

Li Tai was ruthless, in the face of the persecution of tens of thousands of Tang Army's actual combat exercises, he was also listed as an imaginary enemy by the Tang Dynasty, even if Gai Suwen was peerless, in the case that all preparations were not appropriate, he had to weigh the consequences of rash action.

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up and said, "Wonderful! This method can not only enhance the combat strength of the army but also stabilize the situation in Liaodong, which can be described as a method that kills two birds with one stone! ”

The old man happily got up and patted Li Tai on the shoulder without saying anything to praise, Li Tai was also in a good mood, and finally added an insurance for Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang, and his pressure could be reduced a lot.

However, the happy time is always short-lived, and after a while, the eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "However, although this method is good, it is to injure the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred, and the delay of such an actual combat exercise must not be short, hindering Goguryeo's spring cultivation, and our Datang is also suffering from it."

The Youzhou army is mainly composed of soldiers from the Zhichong Prefecture, and they work in agriculture when they go out to fight and plough in their spare time, because the actual combat exercises delay the spring ploughing season, our losses will not be less than those of the Goguryeo people, I am afraid that Your Majesty and the ministers will not agree!

In addition, this exercise is based on actual combat, and there are bound to be casualties, pensions and rewards for soldiers and soldiers, and loss of military funds. ”

Li Tai was so confused that he almost forgot about the military system of this pit father.

The basis of the government military system is the uniform field system, and its mechanism of integrating farming and warfare is destined to the operation mode of its soldiers and peasants who are responsible for their own profits and losses, and a real combat exercise counts the time for preparation and aftermath, which is as short as a month and as long as several months.

At this time, the actual combat exercises are carried out, and the emperor and the ministers will not agree, and the soldiers will not agree to it first!

Unless someone can solve the problem of food production and military pay expenses that have been delayed in the actual battle......

Seeing that he was silent with a constipated face, the eldest grandson Wuji said helplessly: "You know it's tricky, right?"

It's not that your uncle won't help you, but this method won't work at all, so you'd better think of another way. ”

Li Tai sighed and held on to the railing of the pool, his brain turned quickly, Hebei Province faced two strong enemies, Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo, and the garrison was no less than 100,000.

According to the calculation of dispatching half of the troops to participate in the actual combat exercise, that is also 50,000 troops.

Zhenguan year is the peak of the government military system, these 50,000 government soldiers can get 80 acres of land per capita, and the dispatch of 50,000 horses will affect the production of 4 million acres of cultivated land!

Hebei Province staple grain to millet main, the price is not as good as rice, thanks to the old Li Li hard work for many years, Zhenguan fifteen years of rice price is only two dollars of rice, one stone is only 20 yuan, this is absolutely in the history of China is the era of ultra-low grain prices, historians praise "Zhenguan Zhizhi" is justified.

Four million mu of cultivated land was damaged in spring ploughing, and one mu of grain produced was between five and two stones, and the enemy was calculated leniently, and the loss of two stones per mu was a loss of eight million stones.

One stone and twenty dollars, a total of 160 million yuan, one hundred and sixty thousand.

Coupled with the messy expenses such as military salaries, pensions, and military losses, this part is much more than the loss of spring ploughing, and it cannot be paid without 300,000 yuan.

After such calculations, it is necessary to solve the expenses of grain production, rewards, and military losses delayed by tens of thousands of troops, and it is roughly estimated that it cannot be solved without 500,000 yuan.

The cost is not too much, not too much, according to the price of rice, it will be more than 100 million yuan in later generations, and this amount of money will be used to conduct a live-fire exercise with tens of thousands of troops, and the fuel cost of empty bombs and aircraft and tanks will not be enough.

But Datang is a serious agricultural society, and every penny of the imperial court's finances is pulled out of the land by rent, and the unexpected expenses of more than 100 million yuan are put on Datang, which is a huge amount of money, that is, how Lao Li feels sorry for his fat green sparrow, and he will not accept his proposal.

For the sake of Goguryeo's plan, the imperial court has agreed to the 30,000 troops of the Left Guard to enter Pyongyang, and now the Left Guard has not yet been opened, and there is a huge amount of expenses for the actual combat exercises of the 50,000 army.

The so-called prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, from the perspective of the industrial age, is just a high-level poverty that the government and the opposition in the agricultural era tightened their belts and lived diligently and thriftily!

For the sake of today's plan, if you want to promote the actual combat exercise of the Youzhou army to suppress and contain Quangai Suwen, the cost of this money must find another source for the imperial court, otherwise it will be difficult to promote this matter even if the eldest grandson Wuji makes a move.

After making up his mind, Li Tai said categorically: "This thing must be done, with Gai Suwen's shrewdness, there is no other way to restrain him except for the army to press the border."

I'll figure out how to spend on the actual combat exercises of the army, and in three days, uncle, you can go all out to promote this matter! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji exclaimed: "Military affairs are not child's play, it is hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

Between the ten months and the moon, how do you turn stones into gold to conjure up these hundreds of thousands of yuan for the imperial court? ”
