"Your Majesty, please send Li Yong......" Before Liao Shanhe's words were finished, Zhang Sanzheng grabbed the conversation, "Your Majesty, Li Yongtang will send it to the ministers, right?" ”

Seeing that the two henchmen and important generals coincidentally wanted to rob Li Yongtang, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, it is definitely a great thing that the commanders attach so much importance to weapons technology and talents.

Objectively speaking, since the birth of artillery, all castles in this world, including the very powerful fortresses in the West, have lost their value in defending against the Han Dynasty.

In addition, the long-range strike firearms of the Han official army, in addition to artillery, also have cocktails that can be projected, as well as a powerful crossbow.

Artillery groups, projectile cocktails, and crossbows with divine arms constituted the main long-range strike force of the Han official army. It can be said that the means of attack at long, medium and close range have been fully covered.

"Hehe, Li Yongtang is only one person, and if he gives it to Zhang Sanzheng, he can't give it to you Liao Shanhe." Li Zhongyi shook his head with a smile and said, "It's useful for me to keep him, so don't fight." Turning around, it's okay to ask him to help you set up the artillery positions temporarily. ”

Today, there are only fifty artillery pieces. Among them, 20 artillery pieces were given to Liao Shanhe, who was attacking head-on, and the remaining 30 artillery pieces were given to Zhang Sanzheng.

After all, the terrain in front of Yangping Pass is very clear, and even if a fortress is built before the gate, it is difficult for twenty artillery pieces to fully open an offensive position.

This is a topographical and geomorphological decision, not a human power that can change it!

As for the thirty artillery pieces on Zhang Sanzheng's side, because they bombarded the Yangping Pass Wall from the flank, they naturally needed to attack in batches.

With current metallurgical technology, the barrel of an artillery cannon, at most, withstand a hundred firings. This is because a bronze barrel with good heat dissipation and elasticity is used.

If it is an iron barrel, I am afraid that it will be scrapped after firing fifty times.

Since Li Zhongyi ascended the throne, the money-making case, which was originally subordinate to the Yamen of the Three Divisions, stopped the work of making money.

In today's Han Empire, the prevailing currency is a mixture of paper money + copper coins. The main thing is that there are still a lot of copper coins in the private sector, and it is impossible to abolish them immediately.

In addition, due to the high cost of papermaking, if you make a penny banknote, it is actually not a cost-effective loss.

Therefore, in the current Han Empire, the common people habitually use one penny copper coin for transactions below ten yuan. For transactions of more than 10 yuan, the banknote of 10 yuan is used.

The banknotes of the empire mainly include: when ten texts, when hundred texts, consistent texts, ten guan texts, hundred guan texts and thousand guan texts.

It is precisely because of the large issuance of paper money that the three divisions of the empire, which was originally very short of copper, are now rich in copper materials, and there are too many to use up, which also provides a large amount of artillery materials for the Artillery Bureau.

Li Zhongyi has always been a character who does what he says, and since he has already made a decision, Zhang Sanzheng and Liao Shanhe have no choice but to nod and agree even if they are no longer happy.

The characteristic of the Han officers and armies is that as long as the commanders reach an agreement, the next battle plan will be handed over to the war room of the General Staff Department to draw up.

Soon, before dark, the colleagues in the war room of the General Staff Department had drawn up three battle plans.

After Li Zhongyi read the battle plan, he found Zhang Sanzheng, Liao Shanhe, He Dabei, secretary of the General Staff of Tongzhi, and the main staff members in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone should take a closer look at the battle plan, and if you have any questions or different opinions, please feel free to speak."

During the military discussion, Li Zhongyi has always said one thing, never engaging in luring snakes out of the hole, and then retaliating or settling accounts after the autumn.

Therefore, whether it is the generals and colonels who lead the troops, or the senators of the Senate Division, they all dare to speak, and even slap the table and smash the chair to quarrel.

After Zhang Sanzheng carefully read the three battle plans, he couldn't help but raise his head, looked at He Dabei, and sighed: "Brother He, the younger brother really admires it, after reading these three battle plans, the younger brother can't find any flaws at all." ”

At this time, Liao Shanhe also raised his face and said, "It's really getting better and better." Your Majesty, the role of the General Staff Department is too big, and Weichen, as a general with troops, only needs to consider the command of the battle, and he doesn't even need to worry about money, food and materials. ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, he tried his best to overcome public opinion, and he must form a general staff department, and it turned out that he did it right, and he did it beautifully.

With the passage of time, Li Zhongyi has every reason to believe that the General Staff Department will certainly play an increasingly important role.

Since Zhang Sanzheng and Liao Shanhe both approved the battle plan, there was no controversy.

"Then everything will be carried out according to the battle plan, and there must be no mistakes." Li Zhongyi made a decisive decision.

After waiting for the generals to withdraw from the big tent, Li Zhongyi sat back in front of the bookcase, looking at the mountain of political and military official documents in front of him, and couldn't help but regret a little.

I knew that I was so busy and tired, so I might as well bring one of Han Xianglan or Ye Xiaolan with me.

Under normal circumstances, Li Zhongyi needs to review at least 400 pieces of concerts or official documents every day.

In the state of sending troops, the number of concerts or official documents that need to be reviewed has more than doubled.

There are so many affairs to be dealt with, and Li Zhongyi is a human being, not a god, and he has to eat and sleep, so he is extremely tired and tired.

In the past, when I was in the capital, Han Xianglan or Ye Xiaolan helped me write the abridgement, at least in terms of government affairs, it was many times easier.

Now, in addition to hurrying, Li Zhongyi needs to spend at least four hours a day to review the recitals and official documents.

Well, it's time to set up the Military Aircraft Department, and when Li Zhongyi was lying on the couch, all he was thinking about was who would be the Minister of Military Aircraft.

At the time of industrialization, there were not many craftsmen, and the vast majority of the peasants were almost illiterate.

Li Zhongyi's becoming emperor was only the first step in the long march, and his most ambitious goal was to bring the entire Chinese nation into the steam age of mechanized mass production in advance, and take the lead in completing the first industrial revolution.

In an era when everyone is asleep and I am awake, Li Zhongyi must concentrate all the power in his own hands, which may continue to promote the development of industrialization.

Early the next morning, with the loud wake-up call, Li Zhongyi slowly woke up from his sleep.

After simply washing his face with cold water, Li Zhongyi walked out of the big tent quickly and stood in the ranks of the guards for morning exercises.

There is a big difference between the morning exercise during the march and the morning exercise when you are stationed in the capital.

Swinging a knife and slashing 300 times and holding a gun 300 times are the prescribed training movements stationed abroad.

For a time, in the entire camp, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Among the training crowd, Li Zhongyi was also like everyone else, waving the steel knife in his hand, slashing hard, while shouting hoarsely, "Kill, kill, kill......"

After the training, Li Zhongyi returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and simply wiped his body with cold water.

After cleaning up, Li Zhongyi, as in the past, took bamboo chopsticks and coarse porcelain bowls, got out of the big tent, and blended into the ranks of the Guards Ding Battalion.

The devil is always in the details!

As the founder of the imperial court's official army, Li Zhongyi knew very well that the bad corrupt practices such as deceiving superiors and subordinates, eating and taking cards, watching people get off the plate, and using shoddy products were actually the inherent stubborn diseases of the logistics system.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Li Zhongyi's frequent blending into the pile of ordinary soldiers and eating with them. It is absolutely impossible for the food situation of the soldiers to be as fair, open and transparent as it is now.

Zhang Jiantian, who commanded the military police and knew the military justice department, also held a large porcelain bowl and bamboo chopsticks, lined up behind Li Zhongyi.

According to the regulations, Zhang Jiantian is the first person responsible for supervising the military order, senate, command, and logistical supply system. In other words, if Li Zhongyi finds out any problems from the meal, Zhang Jiantian, the military policeman, will be in command, and he will definitely not be able to get out of it.

When he was cooking, maybe he was too nervous, the man's trembling little hand shook, the spoon was not held steady, and the pickled radish strips that had been scooped up actually fell to the ground.

The man hurriedly wanted to bend down to pick it up, but Li Zhongyi had already squatted down and picked up the radish strips with his hands.

Li Zhongyi wiped the radish strips on his sleeve, actually stuffed them into his mouth, and began to chew slowly.

"The emperor's ......" Zhang Jiantian was shocked and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Zhongyi said vaguely while chewing the radish strips: "You all remember, every grain and sweat, every radish strip is precious food and must not be wasted." ”

To be honest, Li Zhongyi didn't think of the problem of showing off at the first time, he just subconsciously picked up the radish strips that fell to the ground.

When Li Zhongyi found that the soldiers around him were staring at him with strange eyes, he immediately realized that as the supreme emperor of the empire, he actually picked up radish strips in public and ate them in his stomach, how appalling was this?

"Paoze, every meal and food you are waiting for is from the hard work of the peasants, and the military and civilians are a family, so you can't just talk about it, but you should start from small things, starting from yourself." Li Zhongyi's voice was not loud, and he didn't say much sensationalism, but the soldiers around him wiped their eyes one after another.

There are regulations on the time for the soldiers to eat, and Li Zhongyi didn't want to continue to say those sensational words, so after he finished the meal, he blended into a circle of ordinary soldiers and squatted with everyone.

"This pancake seems to be a little hard today?" Li Zhongyi ate a few bites of bread and casually asked the soldiers squatting beside him.

The soldiers each held their bowls, you look at me, I look at you, and then, they all lowered their heads, and no one dared to answer Li Zhongyi's words.

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that where the food was criticized in public, the simple soldiers were a little afraid to speak, because they were afraid of the commander's settlement after the autumn.

"Zhang Jiantian, after eating, you asked them one by one, are the pancakes a little hard today?" Li Zhongyi simply didn't ask, and directly instructed Zhang Jiantian to ask him to find out clearly.

As the founding monarch of the country, Li Zhongyi is not an emperor who is better than the hands of women in the deep palace, and he knows the situation at the grassroots level well.

Objectively speaking, since the establishment of the army in Hechi, Li Zhongyi has paid special attention to the food situation at the grassroots level. As long as he found something wrong, Li Zhongyi would immediately find big trouble for the logistics officers, so that they had to be people with their tails between their legs, and they didn't dare to eat and take cards.
