Everyone was stunned, and there were bursts of discussions.

"If you have something to say, if you don't have anything to say, what are you doing with so much nonsense? With this kung fu, it is better to go home and sleep with your wife in your arms. Cheng Zhijie opened his eyes and looked at Li Yuanji, and his exit was not inferior.

"Don't mess around, King Qi must have a better way, otherwise he wouldn't reply like this, you just listen quietly." Fang Xuanling comforted Cheng Zhijie with a smile, for fear that this old man would be dissatisfied and find someone to fight alone.

Li Yuanji raised his chin slightly, looked at Cheng Zhijie who closed his eyes again, did not go to him for trouble, paced left and right, and said calmly: "We are an agrarian nation, mainly based on grain, supplemented by meat, although we have mastered the method, but we must not be careless, but don't forget, the grassland people are cattle and sheep as the staple food, once they know these secrets, we will fall into greater passivity." ”

"I promoted this law to the army to prevent secrets from being leaked." Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, the Central Plains Dynasty and the grassland peoples have advantages and disadvantages to each other, but in this matter, the Tang Dynasty occupies an absolute disadvantage, even if the Tang army is strong, they do not have enough food to support the whole army.

The government soldiers need to bring their own dry food, equipment, vehicles and horses and other war materials, and the imperial court only needs to provide war horses and heavy weapons to reduce the burden of the imperial court, and the government soldiers are mostly twice a year or once, so the method proposed by Li Shimin earlier is actually based on the existing situation of the Tang army.

I didn't expect to be criticized by Li Yuanji for not being fully skinned.

"After all, night battles only happen occasionally, and it is unlikely to become a normal trend in future wars, so it is completely unnecessary for the whole army to promote it, and it is also a waste of resources." Li Yuanji said lightly.

"Hmph, it's nonsense, isn't it according to His Highness's words, you only need to select a few people from each department in the army, share meals separately, and take on the task of guarding and leading the team at night?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but squirt wildly, in fact, he didn't blame the eldest grandson Wuji for spraying Li Yuanji, who asked Li Yuanji to deny the uselessness of his proposal?

I was just reprimanded by the emperor, and I was suppressed by your King Qi, where do you put my old face?

"Yes, only in this way is not a waste of resources, and only in this way can we improve the night vigilance and combat capability of the whole army, but before that, there is one more thing to do." Li Yuanji nodded directly, agreeing with Eldest Sun Wuji's statement, although it was an answer given in anger.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, and he just opened his mouth and said, why did Li Yuanji directly approve of it?

Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji also noticed Li Shimin's unkind eyes, and instantly shrank his neck in fright and retreated.

"Conscription!" Li Yuanji continued to speak.

"Impossible, the recruitment system requires a lot of money, and the imperial court can't afford to support such a large expenditure, if you really do this, it won't take too long, it will only take three or two years to drag down the entire Tang Dynasty." Du Ruhui stood up directly, shook his head again and again, and vetoed.

The advantage of the government military system is that the funds invested by the imperial court are relatively small, the government soldiers are farmers in peacetime, soldiers in wartime, and weapons and equipment must be carried by themselves, and they only need to take advantage of the slack time to conduct training, and conduct intensive training in each province for a few days every month to ensure combat effectiveness, which not only ensures combat effectiveness, but also ensures productivity, which is very suitable for the current national conditions.

The advantage of the conscription system is that the army can have stronger combat effectiveness, but the Tang Army does not lack combat effectiveness at all now, so this point is very weak.

Another major disadvantage is that the occupation of the young and strong labor force for a long time will reduce productivity, increase the expenditure of the imperial court, and make the already poor finances even worse.

And these are not the root of the problem, the advantage of the government military system is that the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, the wartime by the imperial court to arrange the commander-in-chief, the dozens, hundreds of military governments gathered together, every time the expedition, the entire army from different military governments.

With the military government as a unit, the same is true for weekday training, and the same is true for wartime battle formations, and a coordination drill between the military government and the military government will be conducted every year to ensure that these soldiers from different military governments can form a tacit understanding.

It's like an abrasive, no matter who comes, there will be no mistakes in this abrasive.

But the conscription system is different, which requires fixed soldiers and fixed generals, which is also a potential threat to the imperial court.

And the Tang Dynasty has only one recruit so far, which is the Xuanjia Army personally commanded by His Majesty Li Er.

Li Yuanji pouted his nose, and secretly said that he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness.

"This king didn't say that the government military system should be abolished and the conscription system should be fully promoted!" Although it is not bad to look at long-term problems, they are limited to rigid thinking, and there are certain defects in long-term problems.

"One of the ten, the best of the ten provinces to join it, after the selection to join it, the mouth of the field was once a tilt, Yongye field was thirty acres, the court paid a certain amount of money to the soldiers every month, and the court paid all their rations and other expenses. Those who are selected are required to live in the army for training all year round, and can have one month of vacation each year to reunite with their families. In this way, in wartime, an army can have a force that is good at fighting in various environments, and it is easier for the commander to make tactical choices.

In addition, it does not matter if the wounded do not affect their movements, they are incapacitated, these people can join the ordinary military government and act as the eyes and ...... of these military governments."

"Just like the battle you fought in Weishuibei? Once the enemy discovers it, immediately turn the darkness into light, forcing the enemy to lose the advantage of cavalry and become entangled with our army? Li Shimin was amazed, with Li Yuanji's previous battle in Weishui North, Li Shimin easily figured out the key to this thinking.

The fate of the wounded soldiers in the past could only be to go home and retire, and then hand over the government soldiers to grant land, and then eat and wait for death.

But Li Yuanji's proposal made the most of the wounded soldiers, and in this way, the expenses they had calculated did not cost much, but the effect achieved was multiplied.

What kind of effect can a thousand-strong force that is good at night combat have in a battle? The answer is obvious, if they have the right commander, they can let a large battalion of tens of thousands of people blow up the camp.

"That's it, it's not!" Li Yuanji shook his head again, Li Shimin was only half right. "Night battles are different from day battles, so the requirements for this military government are higher, no infantry, all light cavalry is the mainstay, and the equipment is only equipped with bows and arrows and horizontal swords."

"With that kind of army, the old man only needs two military governments to wipe it out!" Cheng Zhijie snorted coldly again and said sarcastically coldly.

The main equipment of the light cavalry is bow and arrow, horizontal knife, horse lance, if only the bow and arrow, even if you don't want to Mo knife formation, the two military governments can easily clean it up, thousands of spears to the ground, your cavalry can't rush at all, the sky is raining arrows, in addition to death, what else can you do?

"Wrong! If they go through a complete training and only need one military government, this king can defeat the infantry of at least three military palaces, and if it is only two military palaces, it is only a matter of time before they are completely annihilated. Li Yuanji smiled slightly, the Tang people's thinking about cavalry is still to charge in groups, break the enemy's military formation with a powerful impact, tear a gap, let the enemy army mess up their position, and then kill wildly.

This tactic is indeed very cool, very shocking, very exciting, but the casualties brought to themselves are also very large, it can be said that this is a lose-lose tactic, when in Weishuibei, I have shown them the disadvantages of this tactic, but obviously, these civil and military ministers present obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Li Yuanji teased with interest: "Unless you are a heavy infantry ......"
