Chapter 471: Sudden Assassination

Looking at Li Shimin's gaze, Leng Feng nodded, no matter what, the Ashina family is also a branch of the Western Turks, perhaps because of Ashina Ayi, he is a little "preconceived".

Ashina Ayi, who returned to the Ashina family, no matter what the circumstances, the decision they made must be for the Ashina family, that is to say, they should be able to reap certain benefits from it.

It's a pity that Li Shimin is a little stubborn no matter what he says, and the letters from the Ashina family did not arouse his slightest vigilance.

"In the final analysis, Jingbei Province has not really become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, although it has a name, but it is no different from the state of Jiao. If I didn't swallow this breath, I would let them take it back, the territory of Datang has not yet been developed, in fact, it is useless to have so many territories. ”

Leng Feng smiled: "You are still the first emperor to worry that your territory has not been developed, and no other emperor is drooling when he looks at the territory of a foreign country every day." ”

Li Shimin shook his head: "The territory is not too much, but there are not enough people, although childbirth has been encouraged for more than ten years, but the rise rate of the people of the Tang Dynasty is still not fast enough." No one, what do you want so much land for! ”

This is the truth, under the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were only 2 million registered households left in the world, although the number of households increased to 4 million after the incorporation of displaced people, but in the land of Datang, the situation of no rooster crow for thousands of miles is still the mainstream.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first, have fewer children and raise more pigs." This is a particularly interesting promotional slogan from the old days of the Cold Front Timeline. But when it comes to Datang, it's completely reversed.

Leng Feng sighed: "War has always been a meat grinder that ravages the earth, no matter what kind of war, in the end, all that is counted is the number of people and property, what can you get?" ”

Li Shimin squinted at Leng Feng: "Do you think that in this war, we shouldn't send troops?" ”

Leng Feng shook his head: "It's not that you oppose sending troops, it's that I don't understand why you don't agree with the Dragon Tooth Army or the Dragon Scale Army to dispatch?" Obviously, these two teams are more suitable for fighting with gunpowder weapons. ”

This is a question that Leng Feng has not been able to understand since the dispersal of the dynasty, not that he thinks that Wei Chigong and Liu Hongji are not good, or that he wonders why Li Shimin used such an inefficient way.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I knew you would ask me this question, the several sorties of the Dragon Tooth Army and the Dragon Scale Army have proved that gunpowder weapons are indeed sharp weapons of the army." However, I don't know what it's like for untrained soldiers to use gunpowder weapons. This is where experimentation is needed. ”

Although Li Shimin was worried that after the spread of gunpowder weapons to the whole army, it would be easy to arouse the nobles' desire for greater military power, but in the face of a rare battle situation, he couldn't help but want to try what the strength of the army would be like after being equipped with gunpowder weapons on a large scale.

How many people are there in the Dragon Tooth Army and the Dragon Scale Army combined? Two thousand four hundred! Wei Chigong and Liu Hongji want to bring, but there are more than 10,000 people, maybe they can't be as casually as the Dragon Tooth Army and the Dragon Scale Army, but they can't stand up to the number of them! 10,000 people and one arrow, that is 10,000 arrows, which is equivalent to ten rounds of salvos from the Dragon's Tooth Army.

That's a scary amount!

In fact, there is another point, Li Shimin is embarrassed to say that after Wei Chigong and Liu Hongji are sent out, he hopes to have enough gunpowder weapons to defend the capital. There is no way, being an emperor is like walking on thin ice, even if he has a lot of trust in Wei Chigong and Liu Hongji.

Leng Feng didn't expect this layer, but Li Shimin was still reasonable, and in desperation, Leng Feng could only give up this problem.

At this time, it was close to noon, Li Shimin fanned the wind and said to Nameless: "Go to the imperial dining room and bring two bowls of ice cream, this weather is so weird, the ground has just been planted, and it is so hot!" ”

"Is there one?" Leng Feng looked at the plants outside that were a little wilting when they were not tall, and then he felt that it was indeed a little hot.

Li Shimin picked up the parchment paper and fanned the wind, and said while fanning: "Let's not talk about these things, your football stadium is clearly the horse farm before Xiaogong, I see that your field is very similar to that, why, the plan is to keep it like this?" ”

Leng Feng nodded: "It's just maintained, it will be open to the public for free in the future, football is both entertainment and physical fitness, if it is open to the people, it can still play a little role." ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Indeed, like badminton." Entertainment sports such as football are what we Datang people should do, and these things are far more useful than gambling, prostitution and drinking. ”

The two of them spoke without saying a word, waiting for the nameless ice cream to come over.

Nameless didn't come, but a eunuch with his head down, who seemed to be a little afraid of the emperor, trembling all over, and walking a little unsteadily.

This is a very normal situation, Li Shimin is used to seeing it, and in front of him, there are a few eunuchs and palace maids who will not be afraid.

"Your Majesty, here comes the ice cream."

Li Shimin glanced at the big bowl on his tray and wondered, "Why is it just one?" What about the national public's share? Also, how do you use such a big bowl? ”

The eunuch trembled more and more: "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know, this...."

Seeing that he was eager to stuff his head into the crotch of his pants until now, Li Shimin felt very bored without a source: "Put it down, go get another one, damn minion, will I eat you?" ”

Leng Feng smiled: "There are a few people in this world who are not afraid of you!" ”

Li Shimin turned his head: "There are many, you are one!" ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled....

Syllable!

Bang!

Sou!

Bang Dang!

After the eunuch put the tray on the stone table, he grabbed the porcelain bowl with one hand and smashed it on the table, regardless of the bloody hand, grabbed a piece of fragment and stabbed it at Li Shimin.

It was also at the moment when the eunuch made his hand that a crossbow arrow shot out from behind the pavilion pillar and nailed it to his chest....

It was also at the moment when the eunuch made his hand that Leng Feng kicked out....

It was also at the moment when the eunuch made his hand that a swarthy muzzle appeared in the sleeve of Li Shimin's dragon robe.

All three of them reacted immediately.

Extremely fast!

Li Shimin's shot hit his hand holding the broken porcelain piece, and three of his five fingers flew somewhere.

Leng Feng kicked in the crook of his leg, even if Long Ying and Li Shimin didn't react, it was impossible for him to hurt Li Shimin when his center of gravity was out of balance.

Li Shimin saw Leng Feng's legs, he exposed the gun in his sleeve, and smiled at Leng Feng: "How did you find out that this guy was going to assassinate me?" ”

Leng Feng pointed to the empty porcelain bowl: "The porcelain bowl with ice cream must be wet on the outside, his porcelain bowl, so dry, how can it be ice cream inside?" I'm curious, how did you find out he was going to assassinate? ”
