If you Li Xuan want to contain the Ming army, this is not so easy, after all, the Ming army is not stupid, it doesn't mean that you can contain it if you want to, you have to do something that can threaten the Ming army, and then people will look at you squarely.

For example, if you go to Zhengtai County and pretend to attack the county seat, it will definitely attract the attention of the Ming army, and it will be smooth to contain the strength of the Ming army.

But you have to know that people may come out of the city next, and will you be able to run away from them then?

Li Xuan's plan is undoubtedly full of risks for the weak Tang Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a big plan!

At this time, Li Xuan naturally saw the suspicion and even fear in everyone's eyes, and he said again: "We are not going out of the mountain now, but we have to wait for the new army to complete its training, and wait for the musket team to be fully formed before acting. ”

To launch a long-lasting large-scale military operation, it must take a long time to prepare in advance, and every time the Ming army outside the mountains enters the mountains to encircle and suppress the Tang Dynasty, it needs to be prepared for several months.

And Huang Zhushan is no exception, although they are all bandits, they can prepare faster, and some small-scale operations will be fought, but if you think about this kind of large-scale military operation with the whole army in Li Xuan's mouth, this preparation must be indispensable.

At least, this musket team must be trained first, otherwise the new army of the Tang Dynasty will be in vain.

In today's court discussion, Li Xuan was rare to be arbitrary again, and directly determined the plan to go out of the mountains to collect grain and contain the Ming army during the summer harvest.

And for this plan, a lot of affairs were arranged.

When Li Xuan ordered the tasks one by one, Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan had not fully reacted, this matter changed too quickly, a moment ago they were talking about the flood and the farmland that was washed away a few days ago, but just a moment later, they were already preparing to start a war against the Ming army.

However, although many people had doubts about Li Xuan's plan to contain the Ming army, they did not oppose or hinder the preparations for war.

Because of the summer harvest, it is only one of the plans to contain the Ming army, and the other plan is to collect grain, and they originally expected and supported the matter of collecting grain.

After arranging everything, Li Xuan did not go back to the harem directly as some time ago, but went out of the palace to the workshop of the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty.

There, nearly forty craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty and an equal number of young assistants were working hard.

Li Xuan wanted to go to the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, naturally accompanied by a large group of people, Fang Dongquan and Qian Mengjiu and other civil and military officials went directly with Li Xuan, as for Liu Bagou, the first assistant, he had a lot of things, and left in a hurry.

Before he arrived at the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, Li Xuan could feel the great changes in this workshop recently, first of all, the area has become larger, there are more houses, and then there are more chimneys.

This place is not only a place to build weapons and various production tools, but also carries Li Xuan's hope for the future!

As long as high technology can reverse the huge strength gap between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and only then can the Datang Dynasty, a ravine dynasty, become a real country, and make himself, the ravine emperor, a real emperor!

Even if this high-tech is just a spring!

After all, even in ancient times, playing high-tech was the king!

The great powers of later generations all paid attention to the wave of nuclear bombs, so he Li Xuan's Tang Dynasty played a heavy artillery wave in ancient times, and it is estimated that the effect is similar to that of the great powers of later generations throwing nuclear bombs everywhere.

Flintlock pistols and artillery, that is the key to the real rise of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Xuan can't care too much, in addition to giving these craftsmen the best treatment, he also comes to take a turn on weekdays.

Li Xuan just took Qian Mengjiu and Fang Dongquan to the door of the workshop, and the blacksmith of Shangshushi of the Ministry of Works, who got the news, took many people in the workshop to greet them at the door.

"Greetings to the emperor!" When the stone blacksmith at the head spoke, he was a little twisted and pinched, this strong man with muscles and only an apron on his body was like a little daughter-in-law in front of Li Xuan and the others.

This can't be blamed on him, who let him, a blacksmith, never deal with a scholar in his life, he can't read big words, and this strong man is still an otaku, hiding in the workshop all day to build weapons and muskets, and he doesn't see outsiders at all.

He, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, only went to the court twice, and every time he went, he didn't dare to speak!

For his kind of cowering, there is no show of the courage of the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xuan does not care.

When Li Xuan asked him to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he didn't expect him to become an official, just to give him a name to manage the workshop of the Ministry of Industry.

This person's name is the same as that of Butcher Chen, he has only one surname, no big name, and after an hour his father was made a stone blacksmith, he was called a small stone blacksmith, and when he grew up, he naturally took over his father's class and became a stone blacksmith.

He, like many people who fell into the grass and became bandits, was a natural and man-made disaster in the village, ran into the mountains without food and fell into the grass, and became the only blacksmith in Jiguan Mountain after joining Jiguan Mountain.

After Jiguan Mountain was incorporated into Huangzhu Mountain as a whole, he naturally became a blacksmith of the Tang Dynasty, and later Li Xuan wanted to build an arquebus, which was to let him take someone to do it, and after the musket came out, Li Xuan waved his hand and directly rewarded him with an official hat of the Ministry of Works.

It's a pity that the official hats in the Tang Dynasty are worthless, and there are no Yulu, not even official uniforms, and nothing else except a title.

Therefore, Li Xuan didn't feel heartache, and the stone blacksmith who became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry didn't take his official hat seriously!

"No need to be polite, I just came here today to take a casual look!" Li Xuan waved his hand, so that everyone who greeted him at the door did not have to be polite.

Then he walked up to the stone blacksmith and said, "The day before yesterday, I heard that you made a new bayonet pattern that I had drawn?" ”

The stone blacksmith said: "Back to Your Majesty, yes, the minister and his people have personally tried and tested, and they have already made a few samples of the sleeve-type bayonets that Your Majesty wanted!" ”

"Oh, let's go check it out!" What Li Xuan asked for today was not to come alone, but to bring Qian Mengjiu and Fang Dongquan's many civil and military officials, especially several generals of the military, to see this newly created sleeve bayonet.

Li Xuan estimated that it was impossible to make a flintlock pistol in a short period of time, so he focused on improving the performance of the existing arquebus, but many of the transformations belonged to the transformation of the process, and it was meaningless to talk about the transformation if the process was not improved.

But this bayonet can be changed!
