Chapter 454: Military Discussion
The next day, inspecting the armament production of various workshops in Shanyang, as well as the storage of all aspects, is Sun Xiangfu's main job, after all, when Li Shimin's army arrives tomorrow, all these things will be handed over to the army.
Chu Suiliang is a relatively reliable person in terms of doing things, and his preparations in all aspects are not worse than expected, but Sun Xiangfu is a lot more relieved.
"Send an official letter to Yuwen Festival in Ulan City, let him prepare for the supply and rest of the army, what needs to be prepared on a hot day, he should understand."
"No."
"In addition, the five hundred lawn mowers of the lawn mower team will also be deployed to the army, and Shanyang will step up the construction of more grass mower materials, so that the army can obtain forage nearby, and the consumption of hundreds of thousands of war horses, relying on us to send them from the rear, it is already too late, and the car factory may have to work overtime, before the winter, every month, at least two hundred lawn mowers will be sent to the front line."
"No."
This period is the period of summer grass crazy growth, the place originally occupied by the Ministry of Murwei, Khitan, Xia and other departments, the forage is also very rich, the nearby reserve of forage, will save a lot of transportation time and transportation costs, in terms of forage, he not only has to supply Li Shimin's army on the road, Hebei Province's middle road army, he also needs to take into account, this aspect, is one of the key to the work of logistics support, not sloppy.
Under Sun Xiangfu's orders, the heads of various departments began to arrange and operate, and it was not until dusk that Sun Xiangfu saw Li Chengqian, who had returned with Zhang Ke and others with a tired face.
"The minister greets the prince."
"The teacher is very polite."
"It's good that you don't blame me for being rude, look at the way you look, you were forcibly pulled off the stage!"
Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders and gave Sun Xiangfu an apologetic smile, what he was wearing now was not a costume, but he really didn't dare to blame Sun Xiangfu, because the matter of welcoming Li Shimin was indeed extraordinary, but because the drama was scheduled to a critical juncture, he ignored it, and even directly forgot the time that Chu Suiliang told him many times, which almost made a big mistake.
"No, no, that, you've all arranged the matter of welcoming your father!" Li Chengqian didn't dare to have any arrogance, and said with a sneer.
"You should be grateful to Shanyang for having a good history of Chu Thorn, otherwise ······" Sun Xiangfu stopped when he said this, and said solemnly when his face changed, "Your Majesty is not the only son of you. ”
"Ah~"
Hearing Sun Xiangfu's words, Li Chengqian's face changed, and he suddenly remembered his dead uncle Li Jiancheng, and suddenly felt how important his position as the crown prince was, and a look of remorse and chagrin rose from the bottom of his heart.
Give Li Chengqian a dose of fierce medicine, Sun Xiangfu is also forced to do so, Li Tai's kid gets older, he has more thoughts about the position of the monarch, and he usually studies very seriously, and where Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are, the performance is also very pleasing.
The key is that this guy also has a face that resembles Li Shimin, so Li Shimin is very fond of him, this time, he almost agreed to his request to board the car for a military parade, if Li Chengqian behaves more unbearable, it is difficult to guarantee that the historical battle for storage will not be staged again.
Li Chengqian is not a stupid child, it's just that Sun Xiangfu has always let him study on his own according to his interests and hobbies, and his talent is just a child.
After listening to Sun Xiangfu's whispered words to himself, he straightened his clothes, walked to Chu Suiliang not far behind him with a straight face, bowed down respectfully and bowed, "Lone, thank you Chu Thorn Shi for doing everything for Lone." ”
Suddenly, after receiving such a big gift from the prince before, Chu Suiliang's previous unhappiness has disappeared, and now it has disappeared, and he respectfully replied before saying, "Learning politics and politics is what the prince should focus on now, and he can't make mistakes!" ”
Historically, in May of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin had already decreed that Li Chengqian 'should be ordered to hear the lawsuit', and now it is the end of June, and Li Chengqian is already thirteen years old, Li Shimin came to Shanyang this time, maybe he will let him 'listen to the lawsuit', and a year later, he will actually take over the affairs of the East Palace, in history, when Zhenguan was six years old, he will be in charge of the country, if he is playing around like now, it is not as good as the Li Chengqian in history.
"After being alone, I must study politics with my heart and live up to the high expectations of the ranking family."
No matter what, Li Chengqian's attitude is still very popular with Sun Xiangfu and others, his brain is not stupid, Shanyang's set, it is not difficult to learn, at least, it is much more interesting and easy to understand than those who are more interesting and easy to understand, the next time, Sun Xiangfu is almost in Shanyang, under his personal teaching, I want to come a year later, Li Chengqian is in charge of an East Palace, it should be no problem.
On the specific matters of welcoming the emperor, as well as the possible recital with the emperor, after the words were correct, Sun Xiangfu let Li Chengqian go back to rest, and after nightfall, he began to compile the basic textbooks of the peasant gate in the study.
In the early morning of the next day, many people who got the news that the emperor was coming, spontaneously gathered in front of the south gate of Shanyang, they even prepared a lot of their own specialties, wanted to dedicate to the emperor, they lived a good life, usually in addition to studying food and clothing, they also began to get famous, and there were many people, began to find a way to read the book, recognized the words, heard that the emperor approved the construction of the agricultural college to Shanyang, they were extremely excited, many people want to learn a certain cultural foundation before the official enrollment of the agricultural college, in order to enroll.
Of course, they made the emperor feel their enthusiasm, and not only that, with more business acumen, they knew that the more the emperor came to Shanyang, the more developed Shanyang's economy would be, because he would always bring a group of powerful consumers to Shanyang.
In the morning, the sun just had a tendency to change like the scorching sun, and they began to set off from yesterday evening, and after walking all night, they arrived at the south gate of Shanyang, and the soldiers did not feel how hard it was, because between Mayi and Shanyang, there had already been a cement road, and it was easy to walk on this side, just like in Guanzhong, and the march at night was not as hot and dry as during the day.
"Your Majesty greets you." Li Chengqian and Sun Xiangfu led the hundred officials of Shanyang and took the lead in bowing to the car.
"There is Lao Zhuqing to greet you." smiled and excused everyone's salutes, and saw the people at the gate of the city, holding melons and fruits, flatbread, honey water, etc., and greeted the people in the car, with a happy face.
"With Lao Shanyang's fathers and elders to greet you, the weather is hot, and my subordinate generals can be hungry for what you have in your hands······"
This time, Li Shimin was not polite to the people, this is an art of dealing with interpersonal relationships, once born, twice familiar, with acquaintances, you can't be too polite, too polite, but easy to give birth to a sense of distance.
Therefore, when these things prepared by the people themselves were enjoyed by the sergeants under Li Shimin, they were happier than if they had eaten these things themselves, and when the sergeants who had enjoyed the things in their hands praised them one after another, they were even happier in their hearts.
However, Li Shimin will not enjoy their things in vain, and announced on the spot that the people of Shanyang will be given a fee to reduce the heat, 100 yuan per household, and suddenly, the people in the city will rush to tell each other, a burst of cheers, only Sun Xiangfu and Chu Suiliang, who drove into the city, are a little depressed, but there are 400,000 households under the rule of Shanyang County, 100 yuan per household, 40,000 yuan, and scattered out.
The palace can not live yet, the car drove directly to the Anbei military camp, before the expedition, everyone will rest in the military camp for a day or two, and deliver all kinds of materials.
When Li Shimin appeared in the camp meeting hall in the afternoon, he had obviously completed a series of examinations for Li Chengqian, and judging by his expression, he should have passed the test.
"Your Majesty, Shanyang should be fully prepared, after the inventory and delivery, the army can set off for the east, along the way, the supply land, the minister has ordered the Cheng Department to arrange in advance, about half a month, can ensure that the army arrives in Kaiyuan."
Although a lot of fertile land has been developed in the north, it is mainly pasture, Shanyang Maduo, Li Shimin's sergeants, and all of them are riding horses, in the case of Cheng Chumo preparing a place for supplies and changing horses in advance, one person and two horses, marching 400 miles a day, is not a problem, and half a month can naturally reach the first line of Kaiyuan.
In the direction of Kaiyuan, the reason why it was necessary to wait for Li Shimin to arrive before launching a general attack on Goguryeo was because only these siege equipment brought by Li Shimin from Shanyang could allow the Tang army to reduce losses in the engineering war. In the subsequent wars, the mode will also be changed because of the addition of the men and horses led by Li Shimin, and the cavalry is only used for pursuit and attack, siege, and does not need to rely on human lives to pile up, all relying on new weapons and equipment.
"Shanyang's preparations are sufficient, listed as Aiqing's merits, I will let the examination of the Gonglang be recorded, and after the war is over, the reward will be awarded, and today to convene Zhuqing, not only to agree on the Eastern Crusade, but also for the overall war situation of our Tang Dynasty, we should also have an idea······
After Li Shimin made an opening remarks, Li Jing began to explain the situation of the war in various aspects to the senior officials present.
"The battle between Tuyuhun and the party departments is really deceitful, after the army of Shanzhou and Yaozhou broke through, they actually fought back at the same time, however, they underestimated the strength of our army, and the sneak attack failed, but their own losses were broken, and they were hit hard by our army's counter-killing, however, after that, they adjusted their tactics and no longer fought hard with our army, and also, they also begged His Majesty to surrender to the minister, and after the court put forward the conditions for the minister, they refused, and now, they are divided into multiple units with a numerical advantage, and constantly attack and harass our army, If you don't start a decisive battle, it will be difficult to decide the winner for a while. ”
"Li Shangshu, what is the movement in Tubo and Yunnan?"
Tuyuhun and the armies of the party departments are vulnerable, Sun Xiangfu has long expected them, in history, they don't need the Tang Dynasty to send heavy troops to exterminate, with the current strength gap, it is only a matter of time to clean them up.
What he has always been worried about has always been the problem on Wang Hao's side.
When Li Jing heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, the army led by Chai Shao has already entered Shuzhong, Shelong and others, I'm afraid they have just returned to Yunnan at this time!" Even if there is news, it will come in half a month at the earliest. ”
Chai Shao's men and horses arranged defenses in Shu, which made Sun Xiangfu feel at ease, there were 50,000 well-equipped elite troops, even if Tubo poured out, it was not so short to be able to distinguish the winner and loser. Shu Zhongsteady, Li Ji and Niu Jinda swept Tuyuhun and the party departments with a crushing trend, so there is basically no worries about the battle of the Eastern Expedition.
After Li Jing answered Sun Xiangfu's question, he said again, "Actually, on Zhengming's side, in addition to doing a good job in the supply of the Eastern Route Army, there is another unstable factor that needs to be paid attention to, and that is Xue Yantuo. ”
"Xue Yantuo? Don't worry, Yu Chi Baolin returned to Shanyang a few days ago, and came with the pregnant Dongzhu, and he has the most say in Xue Yantuo's situation. ”
Speaking of this, everyone's eyes turned to Wei Chigong.
Lao Hei grinned and said, "Hehe, the dog is outside the tent, if Your Majesty wants to ask, the minister will call him in." ”
