Chapter 202: A Guide to Inventions to Strictly Govern the Army
The formula for gunpowder really hasn't come up with, it seems that there is sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal powder, whether it is or not, Li Wei is not sure, and the proportion is unknown. This thing is not bamboo paper, you can test it casually, and if you don't test it well, it will blow people up.
I have good intentions, if someone dies, what do the ministers think, what do my parents think?
In the final analysis, he couldn't remember clearly, if he dared to determine several raw materials, even if someone died, it would be a great achievement to be able to test it. In this era, the death of a few craftsmen is not as important as the death of a few war horses. But something else came to mind, a compass.
Then find someone, it's easy to do, the principle is very simple. Grind a needle with a magnet, make a pinhole in the middle, and then make a small iron chassis with a shaft on the chassis. The needle is then rubbed with a magnet, and the friction is to make the magnetic domains inside the needle more closely arranged in one direction. When he was studying, Li Wei also did experiments in school. He doesn't need to hire a craftsman, he can make it himself. Then draw 12 trunk branches on the chassis, mark the four words southeast, northwest and northwest, and a piece of glass is attached to it. The last point that made Li Wei very dissatisfied, the glass technology of the Tang Dynasty was very poor, and it was better to say glass than glass. But it's enough, although it's opaque, but you can still see an obvious needle and four big characters.
It's not necessarily a guide, and sometimes it's made to point to the north. These are the two poles of the magnet, and the direction of magnetization is different when rubbing, and the direction of magnetization is also different. But in Chang'an, not in the deep mountains and old forests, just screen against the sun.
Of course, Li Wei didn't know that this kind of strictly speaking, it was not a compass, but a more advanced dry compass.
It's not a big deal, the great man said that no matter whether it's a white cat or a black cat, a good cat is a good cat if it can catch mice. The more advanced, the better......
"Good thing," Pei Xingjian lost his temper, took this dry compass, and experimented in all corners of the hall, even lying under the table to test. No one blames him. How important the direction is, all of you here are elites, and it comes to mind at once. Like Li Guang's delay, it is precisely because he lost his direction in the desert. When I went to Nanzhao, there was a guide, and I could hand over the direction to others, and I was never at ease. Don't look at the sun, not every day will be sunny, sometimes there is cloudy weather, the south is full of mountains and forests. Just in the Qinling Mountains, the terrain is not familiar, and it is difficult to distinguish the southeast and northwest in rainy weather. Of course, smart people can still recognize it. Just like Liang Jishou turned and turned, it relied on some other principles, such as the branches and leaves on the south side of the tree will always flourish, etc., and finally turned out.
But in the desert grassland, the scenery between heaven and earth is exactly the same, how to divide it? Unlike in the Tang Dynasty, there were towns, villages, markets, and roads, and if you ask people, you won't get lost. Who to ask in the desert? The appearance of this compass will give the Tang Dynasty army wings. Not only this, but when used in navigation, it is called a real tiger with wings. But Li Wei didn't say anything.
"Hong'er, how did you come up with it?" Behind the curtain, Wu Zetian asked.
The cost is low, the production is easy, bring dozens of them over, one in one person's hand, and there are more than twenty on the table, and there is also a sound behind the curtain, and Wu Zetian is also testing it inside. After the test was over, Wu Zetian asked.
"After the queen of Qiyu, it was not the sons who came up with it, it was already there, and it was recorded in "Guiguzi" that Zheng Ren went to the mountains to pick jade, in order not to lose his way, he took Sinan. "Han Feizi" also said that the first king Li Sinan ended the day and night. Zhang Heng's "Tokyo Fu" also mentions the guide. It's just that Sinan Da, the operation is not easy, and Erchen shrunk a little. ”
A dry compass in his hand is relatively novel, but when it comes to Sinan, many people still know it, but no one has ever paid attention to it.
After saying that, several people looked at him together. As for Li Jingxuan and others, they were very ashamed in their hearts, including agriculture, and there were also books, and the things of the ancestors were put there, but no one remembered them.
Explained, no one thinks it's weird, the prince is smart, even Li Zhi thinks sourly from time to time, this son is a bit weird, stronger than himself.
………………………………
I haven't left yet, I have to wait for the arrival of Black Tooth.
Yangzhou is not very far from Chang'an, closer than Liangzhou, and also belongs to Hanzhong, but to cross the Qinling Mountains, the road is not very good. Time has not been delayed, not only to deal with the rebels, but also the Tubo people, I don't know how many troops Tubo can send in the end, there will definitely be thousands of soldiers, there may be tens of thousands of troops, so the preparation should be cautious.
But most of the time, Li Wei was the shopkeeper and handed over the affairs to Pei Xingjian, who was able to work harder. is the deputy marshal again, the "second in command" of this trip, when Pei Xingjian asked for instructions, Li Wei said in a heartfelt manner: "Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people." Pei Shilang, you are in charge. ”
is very lazy, but the more this is the case, the more confident Pei Xingjian becomes, and even has a trace of inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Di Renjie was secretly funny when he saw it, this Pei Shilang was very resourceful, but after being with the prince for a long time, he seemed to be infected by the prince's personality charm. But this time, the arrangement of the imperial court is very reasonable, and it cannot be said that Di Renjie and Zhu Jing do not know much about military affairs, so they are useless. Di Renjie plans material logistics, commands personnel, and is very handy. The Great Army is also needed. And Zhu Jingze's uprightness is the best candidate as a military envoy. And the two of them are not too old, and they are at the peak of their lives.
These three people are all first-class capable ministers, and they have prepared a lot of affairs, but when they are in their hands, they immediately become organized, compared to Liang Jishou's preparation for the expedition, they are so busy that they don't know how good it is. In short, prepare from the beginning, let the onlookers have a feeling: Shun!
It's like flowing water, without the slightest blockage. This is undoubtedly another excellent sign.
But it's even colder.
There was no more snow, and when I woke up in the morning, a thick layer of hoarfrost had accumulated on the ground outside, and even the river pond had begun to have a thin layer of ice.
After years of habits, Li Wei did not lazy in bed, lifted the quilt, the situation on the bed was a little messy, Bi'er was shrunk in his arms, Wei Yue was holding his back, and Shangguan Wan'er was holding his clothes with his little hands across Wei Yue. Wei Yue and Shangguan Wan'er slept soundly, and there were still some blowers in their mouths. Bi'er's profane clothes allowed herself to be lifted, revealing more than half of the snow-white small rue room, and the right side was almost completely exposed, and a red bean was as bright and moving as a cockscomb, standing tall. At the age of fifteen, I also know emotion.
But he was very alert, he immediately opened his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, Li Wei made a gesture and pointed to the two little Loli next to him.
Bi'er nodded.
Li Wei whispered again: "Kiss me." ”
Bi'er nodded again.
Li Wei kissed it, and the little girl gradually understood more, and she also knew how to stick out her little tongue and have a wet kiss with Li Wei. In fact, Bi'er was also very uncomfortable like this, but fortunately, she barely controlled it before she opened the personnel. It's just that whenever Li Wei strokes it, somewhere in his body crawls like an ant, it's very itchy......
The two got up gently, but Li Wei didn't exercise anymore, and asked Bi'er to finish grooming him and put on his armor. It is Mingguang armor, a very heavy armor, according to the Tang Dynasty's catties, a full hundred catties away. Li Wei has been exercising this body for nearly 20 months, and the three armies of the Yongguan are fake, and they are no less than ordinary people. But it's still very uncomfortable to put it on. This is now, if he just came, it would be this set of Mingguang armor to put on, not to mention action, it would be possible to press him down alive.
Of course, Li Wei is not in a hurry, he has to take his time, his body is like this, and so is his wisdom.
Bi'er said worriedly: "Your Highness, the concubine is not by your side, and that person is grooming you?" ”
"Lonely, I've suffered you all these years," Li Wei said as he stroked her little face. Almost from morning to night, she groomed herself, including taking a bath, and Bi'er covered it alone.
"This is the honor of the concubine, but what should I do if His Highness leaves the capital?" Still worried.
"Believe in Lonely." said that he stepped on the war horse, it was a Qingxuan horse obtained from Qinghai before Tuyuhun was lost, and it was also one of the best war horses in the palace horse house. Then with a group of guards, he ran out of the city.
Today is the first day of the 2,000-feather forest army gathering and drilling.
Outside the city, Zhu Jingze, Pei Xingjian and others also arrived.
Li Wei took a look, in fact, two thousand people stood together, which was already very spectacular, which made Li Wei very reverie, two thousand people like this, hundreds of thousands of people gathered, what kind of scene it should be. The thoughts in his mind flashed by, and he began to speak, saying, "Everyone, you are all good sons and daughters of our Datang. ”
"Whoa!" One by one, they puffed up their chests, or at least looked energetic.
But Li Wei continued: "But you have very little actual combat experience, and war is not a guard of honor. ”
Pei Xingjian's eyes narrowed, this sentence had not been discussed beforehand, but the prince said it, which he appreciated. Liu Renliang praised desperately, and it was really not untargeted, the prince was already rare.
"So you have to train, not to train honor guards, but to fight all kinds of real battles. The common people have some awards for Lonely, saying that Lone is benevolent and loving, and Lone is very ashamed. But you remember," Li Wei suddenly said loudly, "Ci is not in charge of the army." Li Guang led the troops to charity, and used Shile for use, but his contributions were very few. On the contrary, Huo Quzhi, Zhou Yafu and others are strict in governing the army, and it is because of this that they can have great achievements. Therefore, Sun Wu played the army and beheaded the second concubine of King Wu. If there is a violation, no matter who it is, it will be punished by military law, not only for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the people, but also for you to better survive on the battlefield, so that you can also make meritorious contributions. Can you remember? ”
"Remember," replied in unison, and most of the soldiers began to be alarmed.
This was discussed with Pei Xingjian in advance. This time, the thousands of soldiers selected, most of them from the Yulin Army in the capital, are not as good as the border army in terms of neat ranks. However, what makes people very suspicious about their combat effectiveness is not that they are not good by force, but because of actual combat experience. Li Wei used three words to describe it, flowery, and Pei Xingjian agreed.
Therefore, further training is required. But many of these Yulin troops were born in powerful official families, and they were usually unruly and unruly, and it was difficult to command without prior warning. Therefore, Li Wei Training made a statement. The fact is also true, the team is training, and there are some thorns. was immediately pulled out by Zhu Jingze's law enforcement team and flogged. After several people were beaten and howled, the soldiers finally focused. Of course, he is also the crown prince, the world is big, and the nominal Lao Tzu is the second in the world, no matter how unruly he is, he has to listen to the command of the prince. The soldiers who were beaten did not dare to say anything.
At the end of the day, the army did not immediately become like an arm, but it began to rejuvenate, at least the military discipline was strict, Di Renjie said: "It needs to be like this." ”
"It's still early." Li Wei replied. He also took the lead in participating in the training, but he was self-aware, but he just participated, and the right to train was handed over to Pei Xingjian. But in his eyes, it is still fancy, no matter how neat the team is, it may not be the case on the battlefield. The reason why Li Jing led 3,000 cavalry and was able to break through more than 100,000 Turkic horses was that they were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time. In the case of the army in front of him, it was also difficult for Li Jing to achieve such a great victory. Of course, that's not possible. A song of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, I got some elite soldiers, how many people can die, and how many soldiers died in battle?
But it's better to practice than not to practice, although now it's a bit of a temporary cram.
Suddenly remembered one thing, and said: "Di Qing, now is an opportunity to let Di Hao and Di Hui enter the palace ......" (to be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
