Time flies, and three years have passed since Li Junxian began training the new army. It is now April of the third year of Zhenguan, and Li Junxian has been training the new army for three years, and according to the previous agreement with Li Shimin, it must be combated. In history, that is, in the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin began his northern expedition against the Turks, destroyed the Eastern Turks, and took revenge in shame.

Within a few years, the Tang Dynasty also exterminated the last separatist force, that is, the separatist force of Liang Shidu. Liang Shidu relied on the separatist forces supported by the Turks, and now the Turks are intimidated in front of the Tang Dynasty, let alone this Liang Shidu. However, Li Junxian did not participate in this battle, he was still concentrating on training. Li Junxian also used the queue training of later generations to train the willpower of the soldiers, so that the soldiers could apply various queues as flexibly and uniformly as their own body movements. This provides a solid basis for the bow and crossbow version of the queue shooting. And the tactics of the era of queuing and shooting are mainly based on willpower, not technology. And firearms also have certain innovations, for example, Li Junxian has added flying knives and arrows, flying spears and arrows and other arrows that specialize in armor-piercing.

And because of those cultural people with four disciplines, the cultural level of the special guard has risen countless times, and it is the only army in the entire army of the Tang Dynasty that is fully literate. In addition, Li Junxian can ensure that the Chinese language of these soldiers can reach the level of the third grade of primary school in later generations, and the mathematics can reach the level of the first to second grades. Although this level is nothing in later generations, as long as you know the strength of the German army in later generations, you should know that Germany was the first to popularize compulsory education, so every soldier has a primary school education. Soldiers with a primary school education are enough to sweep Europe, not to mention Li Junxian's very low educational ability!

What's more, Li Junxian was happy, and his two wives gave birth to three children. Dugu Yi gave birth to her eldest son Li Ruiqing, Mulan gave birth to her eldest daughter Li Hui, and her second son Li Ruiye. Then, Zheng Liwan and Wan'er also hope to be able to share more rooms with Li Junxian. I hope to be able to give birth to Li Junxian. Dugu Yi and Mulan are also more generous, allowing them to share more sex with Li Junxian. However, Li Junxian was afraid of Wan'er and Zheng Liwan's age, and deliberately avoided those menstrual cycles before having sex with them, so they never got pregnant.

Zheng Liwan is only eighteen years old now, and Wan'er is only nineteen years old, which is not the right age to have children. At that time, Dugu Yiren gave birth to a child at the age of eighteen, which made Li Junxian very worried, afraid that something would go wrong. The risk increases many times for every year before the age of giving birth, and Li Junxian doesn't want to let his woman risk a lot to give birth for the sake of a child.

Moreover. From the first year of Zhenguan to the third year of Zhenguan, because Li Shimin appointed the capable Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui as the prime minister, the country also initially began to recover. Since the founding of the country has just begun, the officials of the entire country are working together to contribute to the development of the country. And Li Shimin also because of the shame of being attacked by the Turks, and worked hard to develop military equipment. not only let Li Junxian train the new army, but also let the government soldiers in various places start to double their training, just to destroy the Turks in Zhenguan for three years.

"Brother Jun, we've been working together for more than three years!" Li Junxian asked his supervisor of the army.

Du Junxuan also replied: "Yes! If I hadn't come here. I didn't know there was such an army in this world. With this army, national security is definitely not a problem. If the whole country is reorganized into this kind of army, I am afraid that it will be invincible in the world. However, the only downside is that it is too expensive. ”

"Hahahaha. Oh, yes! This kind of firearms troops, it is simply a gold-swallowing beast, which makes people shudder! Not many of those soldiers and officers now know that this army is actually being raised by me at my expense. It's just that I sent the money to the military department, and then the military department sent it down. In the past three years, I have barely added anything good. Life is relatively hard. Compared to those nobles, I am at the bottom of the ranking. They say I'm very good at making money, but I'm the hardest to live. If this continues, I'm afraid my child will have no money for milk. Li Junxian was obviously joking.

The so-called milk, that is, Li Junxian did not hesitate to exchange tea for some Turkic milk, and then let several of his children drink milk to supplement nutrition. In this era, few people drink milk, so Li Junxian's cost is not low. And Princess Ashinayun, who had a very bad conscience, also took the opportunity to slaughter Li Junxian well, so that Li Junxian didn't feel heartache!

"Hahahaha!" Du Junxuan also smiled.

After Du Junqiu finished laughing, he suddenly said, "General Li, I'm really lucky now, I was able to help you complete the training of this special guard." In the future, the pattern of warfare will have to change, and I am afraid that there will not be many years of war in the cold weapon era in the past. And those old generals, I'm afraid they will all lag behind the times! Du Junxuan said that when he came to the back, he felt a little embarrassed.

Du Junxuan is right, now that Li Junxian has come up with this firearms army, it is already a revolutionary change. Those Cheng biting Jin Qinqiong and even Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and others, they all studied the war of the era of cold weapons, and did not know the war of hot weapons. Once one day, the military of the whole country has become a hot weapon, and that is when they are unemployed.

This fact is very cruel, because they are already behind the times. The new mode of warfare depends on how much they can learn. If you can learn well, you can barely stay in your position. But if they can't keep up with the times, they are destined to be abandoned by the times.

Unless Li Shimin can not expand the size of the firearms unit, this is obviously impossible. Any monarch wants his army to be strong and loyal, and the previous army did not know what loyalty was because it was not educated. And the special guard trained by Li Junxian is literate and knows that loyalty to the country and obedience to the emperor's leadership. Moreover, if after the Northern Expedition to the Turks, the combat effectiveness of the special guards can be reflected, then Li Shimin will definitely find a way to expand this army.

At that time, the senior generals in the entire army will probably have to be replaced within twenty years. Don't think that 20 years is a long time, but most of the military generals who founded the country during this period were only about 30 years old, and even most of the middle and high-level military generals were only in their twenties. If all of them are replaced within twenty years, then I am afraid that they will all retire at the age of thirty to fifty, when the general is in the prime of life, which has to be said to be a cruel reality.
