Chapter 31 Building a Modernized Army

The power of the rifle had completely shocked Li Er, so he was shocked by Li Er, and took Zhao Chen to the Manna Palace.

All the palace maids and eunuchs were all retired by Li Erqing, and there were only three people left in the huge Ganlu Palace, Zhao Chen, Li Er and the old eunuch.

The conversation was between Zhao Chen and Li Er, and the reason why the old eunuch was kept here was entirely because Li Er's shoulders needed the old eunuch, a martial arts expert, to massage and knead.

When Fang was on the school field, the butt of the rifle was indeed not lightly injured, but because so many people were present, Li Er was in pain, and he could only pretend to be nothing.

Now, now that he has returned to the Manna Palace, in front of Zhao Chen, it doesn't matter!

Anyway, Zhao Chen already knew that if he pretended to be continued, it would become a joke in turn, and besides, Zhao Chen was strictly speaking, he was still Li Er's son-in-law, so it didn't matter.

At this time, Li Er was sitting behind the imperial case, the robe on his upper body had been lifted, revealing his dark skin, and the old eunuch was standing behind Li Er, with medicinal wine on his hands, and was kneading Li Er's shoulders vigorously.

Even if Zhao Chen sat at a distance of more than ten steps from the imperial case, he could still clearly see that there were many wounds on Li Er's bare upper body, almost all over Li Er's chest.

It's just that maybe it's been a long time, and those scars have turned into white marks at this time, but in Zhao Chen's eyes, imagining in his mind that Li Er was injured at the beginning, his scalp still couldn't help but tingle.

In the history books that Zhao Chen knew, Li Er's injury was recorded only once, and it was recorded in passing when Wei Chigong was recorded. Because it was Wei Chigong who saved him, Zhao Chen remembered it.

But at this moment, looking at the scar on Li Er's chest, a look of extreme surprise appeared in Zhao Chen's eyes. When I looked at Li Er, I felt like I knew Li Er for the first time.

"Surprised?" Li Er, who was sitting there and bearing the old eunuch with his eyes closed, seemed to feel Zhao Chen's surprised gaze, and asked Zhao Chen without opening his eyes.

"Sort of!" When Zhao Chen heard Li Er's words, he said almost without thinking: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty once suffered so many injuries!" ”

This is a bit of a transgression. If you are a different person, I am afraid that if I give ten more dares, I will not dare to say it, and I dare to comment on the emperor's past in person, I really don't want to live.

And when Zhao Chen said this, Zhao Chen didn't realize anything, but the old eunuch behind Li Er raised his head in surprise. Mu Lu glanced at Zhao Chen in horror, who was originally kneading Li Er's movements. I couldn't help but pause for a moment.

And Li Er, who was closing his eyes, opened his eyes suddenly when Zhao Chen's words fell, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, seeing Zhao Chen's surprised expression the next moment, Li Er suddenly took a slight breath again. He closed his eyes again, and said angrily at Zhao Chen: "When you were in Tiance Mansion, did you live a day of fine clothes and jade food every day?" ”

"I am Admiral Tiance!" Li Er closed his eyes, and suddenly said with some emotion in his tone: "So, for the general." If you shrink behind you, greedy for life and afraid of death, how can you let your soldiers fight bravely to kill the enemy? ”

"It's not easy!" Without waiting for Zhao Chen to speak, Li Er continued: "The rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty are all fought with the blood of soldiers, if there are no countless soldiers who dare to throw their heads and spill their blood, where do these thousands of rivers and mountains come from?" ”

Hearing Li Er's emotional words, Zhao Chen was suddenly silent, in the Taiji Palace, the veterans had already revealed the scars on their bodies, and almost every veteran was scarred, and they were all left by the enemy.

And in addition to these living veterans, there are also those who are dead, who have not had time, and those who have waited for the marquis to pay homage, and those who can't even be named.

Sometimes, you really can't delve too deep into the real deep meaning behind this sentence!

"It's not easy to fight the country, but unfortunately, it's not easy to defend the country!" Li Er sat there, and the person who had closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "I have almost never really slept in this position!" ”

"I am the Lord of the world!" When he said this, Li Er suddenly pushed away the old eunuch's hand, stood up from behind the imperial case, looked at Zhao Chen and said: "Therefore, on my shoulders, I bear the burden of all the people in the world, and I am afraid that if there is a slight mistake, I will lose the trust of all the people in the world!" ”

"Your Majesty's Wen Tao Wuluo, and today's Tang Dynasty, under the wise leadership of Your Majesty, is changing with each passing day, and Weichen believes..."

It's a pity that Li Er didn't seem to want to hear flattering words, and before Zhao Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand at Zhao Chen and said, "Put away your sycophants, what I want to hear is not this!" ”

When he said this, Li Er's eyes suddenly looked at Zhao Chen, and in an unquestionable tone, he looked at Zhao Chen and said, "What I want to hear is about your rifle, how much more is this?" ”

"About five a day!" From following Li Er to the Ganlu Palace, Zhao Chen already knew that Li Er would ask such a question, so when he heard Li Er's question at this time, Zhao Chen looked at Li Er almost without thinking about it and said.

However, in terms of quantity, there are still five branches, and even Zhao Chen doesn't know why he wants to hide it from Li Er!

"Or do you need gold to summon?" Li Er heard that Zhao Chen said that it was five branches, stared at Zhao Chen's gaze, couldn't help but squint a little, and saw Zhao Chen's expression unchanged at all, so he had to continue to ask.

"Yes!" Zhao Chen nodded, scratched his head with a slightly embarrassed expression, and looked at Li Er with some embarrassment.

"That's it!" When Li Er heard this, he almost didn't think about it, so he looked at Zhao Chen and said very domineeringly: "From today on, I will give you a ration of five sticks every day, and I will find a way to get you the gold you need!" ”

Hearing Li Er's words, Zhao Chen suddenly raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Li Er with a strange expression, why did this sound like an ongoing arms negotiation in a certain movie in the future!

"Questions?" Probably seeing Zhao Chen's stunned expression, Li Er's eyes couldn't help but squint, looked at Zhao Chen below, and suddenly asked.

"Nope!" Hearing Li Er's obviously unkind tone, Zhao Chen hurriedly put away his other emotions, looked at Li Er and said seriously: "Since Your Majesty has said it, then Weichen will follow Your Majesty's will, as long as Your Majesty provides gold, Weichen will never have any problems here!" ”

The rifle, in the final analysis, is still a weapon of war, he just wants to take it out, and it is also given to the army of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't plan to hide it at the beginning, it just happened that Li Er opened his mouth, so it was just a good time to push the boat downstream.

"And!" Li Er got Zhao Chen's affirmation, and he didn't know what he thought, so he suddenly looked at Zhao Chen with sharp eyes and said, "I don't want the rifle to appear in the hands of anyone else, even if it is your hidden door!" ”

“… Got it! "This thing is too terrifying, Li Er, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can have such considerations, it is reasonable, that is, this thing needs to be summoned by Zhao Chen to come out, otherwise, Zhao Chen estimates that Li Er wants to keep him away.

After saying this, Li Er returned to the back of the imperial case, accepted the old eunuch's continued kneading, squinted slightly, looked at Zhao Chen below and asked, "Tell me what you think, if I want to use this rifle to form an army, what should I do?" ”

"A big change from start to finish!" What Zhao Chen wanted to hear was Li Er's words, and took out his rifle, what he wanted to do was to see a modern army appear in Datang with his own eyes, if it was put away by Li Er and used as inventory, it would be completely meaningless.

"Oh!" When Li Er heard this, he immediately frowned slightly, looked at Zhao Chen puzzled, and asked, "How do you want to change blood?" ”

It is not an easy task to build a modern army, not only in terms of equipment and training, but also in terms of ideology and blood.

After all, these are two completely different combat methods, and they are also a completely new combat concept, so not only the soldiers, but also the generals from above, must be completely changed.

"If so, if this is up to you, how long will it take to actually build such an army?" Hearing Zhao Chen's explanation, Li Er, who was sitting behind the imperial case, suddenly frowned slightly, looked at Zhao Chen below and asked.

"A year at least, three years at most!" When Zhao Chen heard this, just like Li Er, he frowned slightly, looked at Li Er and said seriously: "It depends on what kind of army Your Majesty needs!" ”

"What I need is an army that can be sent to the battlefield as soon as it is built!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Er said almost without thinking.

"A year and a half!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he frowned slightly, thought slightly, and looked at Li Er and said.

"That's it, I'll wait for you for a year and a half!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Er, who was sitting behind the imperial case, immediately said cheerfully: "A year and a half later, I hope you can give me an army that has gone to the battlefield!" ”

I don't understand why Li Er is so anxious to ask for this army, but since he promised Li Er, Zhao Chen had no choice but to bow to Li Er and say, "Weichen understands!" (To be continued.) )
