"Let the soldiers popularize knowledge, so that the soldiers can have the idea of the national court, and the soldiers will not go with the flow for money? But who can train such soldiers? Who can really train such soldiers? Li Shimin whispered.

Li Shimin also probably understood what Li Junxian meant, but Li Shimin also had a feeling that this kind of soldier was no longer something that could be possessed in this era. Since it is impossible to have it in this era, it is naturally impossible for anyone to be able to train such soldiers. And even Li Shimin himself can't help but admit that he doesn't have the ability to train or command such a soldier well. A soldier with knowledge, that is already a soldier of the new era. This kind of soldier was almost not available until at least the seventeenth century, but now Li Junxian has already advanced to the Tang Dynasty. And Li Junxian can be sure that the combat effectiveness of this kind of soldier is incomparable to that of ancient soldiers. Just like the Germans in later generations trained soldiers, many people saw that those weapons and equipment were excellent, and the army had a high level of training. However, only a small number of people saw that Germany was the first to popularize compulsory education, and no soldier had a primary school education, so that the foundation of "software" was built for a strong army.

"Your Majesty, if you don't dislike it, the minister is willing to train this knowledgeable army for the emperor." Li Junxian took the initiative to ask for help.

"You? You're here to train? Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, only ministers in this world can train this kind of army, and no one else can, I'm afraid the emperor can't either!" Li Junxian said.

This is not the time to be modest, if you are modest, then I am afraid that Li Shimin really thinks that he can train this kind of literate army without Li Junxian. And Li Junxian is not afraid to directly point out that Li Shimin will be angry if he does not leave Shimin, because Li Shimin is an emperor, and what matters is that he is employing people, not the so-called direct work. Li Shimin is well versed in the method of being an emperor, so Li Shimin will never force himself to be better than his subordinates, and he generally understands that his subordinates are stronger than him in some way. If it is those mediocre emperors, they will be very worried that the courtiers are more capable than themselves. And instead of worrying, Ming Jun will do everything possible to find courtiers who are better than himself, so that they can faithfully assist him. This is the difference between Mingjun and Duanjun, it is obvious that Li Shimin is a Mingjun.

"Your Majesty, no one in this world knows this kind of army better than me, so only I can complete this matter." Li Junxian said.

"Huh? This one? Oh, by the way, Jun Xian, are you going to let the soldiers still use the original weapons and tactics? If the original weapons and tactics are still used, how can these soldiers be strong? Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, if a soldier has a culture, then he has a stronger understanding of military orders, and his implementation will be smoother. Let's call this thing execution, that is, the ability to execute. The execution power of an army is actually the embodiment of combat effectiveness and the ability to carry out the orders of the commander-in-chief. And if everyone in the army can understand the intentions of the commander-in-chief, then the execution will be unprecedentedly strong. Moreover, since ancient times, the real famous generals have come from those who have culture, and if there is no culture, it is just a fierce general, and he cannot become a commander who commands thousands of troops. And if the soldiers have culture, that is, they will do their best to tap out the command talents of those soldiers, so that those grassroots officers also have the ability of senior officers, can such an army not be strong? Li Junxian made an analogy.

Li Shimin agreed with Li Junxian's statement, and Li Junxian's statement worked.

"Your Majesty, besides, I don't plan to let the soldiers use the original tactics, I plan to let the soldiers use firearms." Li Junxian said.

"Firearms? Firearms are something. Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, firearms are the use of firearms, and firearms are weapons that use gunpowder. Your Majesty, you also saw just now that the power of gunpowder is actually not small, enough to kill the enemy on the battlefield. And the minister already had several ways to use gunpowder on the battlefield, so the minister planned to let some of the soldiers use firearms to fight. Li Junxian said.

"If you let a part of the soldiers fight with firearms, how much can the whole army increase its combat effectiveness?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Junxian crossed his left and right index fingers and said, "At least ten times." ”

Li Shimin took a deep breath in surprise, obviously not expecting Li Junxian to say that his combat effectiveness could be increased tenfold. Because the combat effectiveness of the army does not mean that it will be improved, and if you want to increase it by 10 percent, it will be enough to defeat the previous army. Since ancient times, the emperor has hoped that his soldiers will have strong combat effectiveness, and he has never thought of reducing the combat effectiveness of his soldiers. And if it can really increase its combat effectiveness by ten times, then I'm afraid Li Shimin will wake up laughing in his dreams.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and asked, "How many soldiers do you want to train?" ”

Li Junxian stretched out a finger and said, "About ten thousand, not more than fifteen thousand." ”

Li Shimin was also a little hesitant, because more than 10,000 had already touched Li Shimin's bottom line. Because the current army is scattered in various parts of the prefecture, there is not much concentration. And if Li Junxian is allowed to master the power of 10,000 soldiers, will it give Li Junxian any bad ideas? Since ancient times, the emperor has been suspicious, and now he is not worried about Li Junxian, if he hands over 10,000 soldiers to Li Junxian during the non-combat period, then Li Shimin is not at ease!

"Your Majesty, the minister asked to send me a prison guard." Li Junxian said.

Li Shimin was relieved of Li Junxian again, because Li Junxian asked Li Shimin to send him a prison army, so that Li Shimin could rest assured, indicating that Li Junxian had no bad ideas.

"Your Majesty, but I hope that the prison guards you have sent will be younger and military attachés. If you are a civil official or you are old, then I am afraid that you will not be able to understand the tactics of the minister. Li Junxian continued.

"Yes! I can send you a military attache to oversee the army. However, I will only give you three years, and if your soldiers' combat effectiveness cannot be increased tenfold after three years, they will have to stop training anyway. Moreover, three years later, my Datang may have to use troops against the Turks, and this is the time to test you. If you fail the test, your new army will be disbanded. And you don't want to think about leading troops in the future, just do a good job as a staff officer. Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin's meaning is obvious, that is, let Li Junxian gamble with his future. If the combat effectiveness of this new army does not meet expectations, then Li Shimin will completely abolish Li Junxian's future, so that Li Junxian can only be his own staff officer, a staff officer with little real power. However, Li Junxian also knew that this bet was very worthwhile, because if he trained well and his combat effectiveness increased tenfold, then I am afraid that he would benefit immensely, and his political future would be better than that of any general in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, may not have a future better than himself.

"Your Majesty, I want the right to act cheaply." Li Junxian continued.

Acting cheaply means that the emperor completely authorizes a certain minister, so that the minister can do whatever he wants. However, this kind of power to act cheaply is generally given to those who go out on business.

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, brought a holy decree, and began to write. At first, it was a lot of nonsense, but there were a few sentences later, and that's the point.

"Li Junxian has the right to act cheaply, and it can only be used in Chang'an and the new army, and it cannot involve human life."

Li Shimin's holy decree added these few words, which means that the power to act cheaply is handed over to Li Junxian. However, this power to act cheaply is still discounted. This power to act cheaply can only be used in Chang'an, and cannot be used to kill people. And if it is used in Chang'an City, it is also used under the emperor's nose, and if Li Shimin is dissatisfied with one of Li Junxian's orders, he can recover it in time. Moreover, if you can't use this cheap power to kill people, then the deterrent effect of this cheap act will be much lower. Therefore, this power to act cheaply is actually discounted by at least five percent.

"Hey, Li Shimin hasn't really been able to trust me absolutely!" When Li Junxian saw these words, he thought helplessly. (To be continued.) )
