Chen Fei happily visited Huashan with a few women, admired the red leaves of Huashan, and then returned to Chang'an. After resting for two days, he immediately received news that Li Shimin asked him to go to the Liangyi Hall for a meeting.

When Chen Fei came to the Liangyi Palace, he found that all the people here were big guys. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, and some of the remaining generals Chen Fei have not seen it, but when they look at this bearing, they are definitely not ordinary characters. Therefore, Chen Fei also understood a little in his heart, I am afraid that this time he is going to decide to fight against the Turks, because so many military people have come over, it is definitely not simple.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat!" Li Shimin said.

Everyone also sat down, and Li Shimin continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, as early as two years ago, the Turks invaded our Tang Dynasty and came to Chang'an City. And I, Datang, dealt with it passively, and almost paid tribute to him, which is a great shame. So, we absolutely cannot tolerate it, we must retaliate. I plan to send a large army to destroy the Turks at the end of next year, so I must finish my work in one battle, destroy the Turks, open up countless territories for my Tang Dynasty, and snow the shame of my Tang being attacked by soldiers in the city. ”

"Your Majesty, you should have gone to fight a long time ago! If we don't fight, then I'm afraid we will really have to suffer. One of the generals said.

"Yes! Your Majesty, we are really going to suffer a big loss now, if we don't destroy them, then we will really have no face to see people! Wei Chigong also said excitedly.

And then, Li Jing, a general with very rich combat experience, immediately asked a very important question: "Your Majesty, if we fight at the end of next year, then we will fight in winter." Do we have enough winter clothes? ”

Li Jing's words immediately made everyone realize a problem. The battle at the end of next year is actually a winter operation! You must know that winter warfare has been a taboo in soldiers since ancient times, and even in later generations, there are few winter battles. And this time it was actually going to fight in winter, which was not good for the Turks, but it was also very unfavorable for their own side. This made Li Jing very worried, of course he knew the difficulties of winter operations. In ancient times, many wars were vigorously defended, and when it dragged on in winter, the attacking side would stop and return in vain. And Datang is going to attack the Turks this time. If you fight in winter, you naturally have to prepare a lot of winter clothes. If you don't have winter clothes, you really can't fight.

"This is also to ask Chen Fei in the Kurabu Langzhong! Chen Fei, you are not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting, but you are the Treasury Langzhong, and you are in charge of the national ordnance affairs. And the three armies have not moved the food and grass first, and the ordnance and equipment are also very important, so I have authorized you to come to this meeting. You have to keep your mouth shut, though. Don't just say it casually. Next, your task is very important. Li Shimin said.

And what else can Chen Fei say, he can only say: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, and the minister will definitely make persistent efforts." Serve the imperial court. ”

And Li Shimin then asked: "How many winter clothes are in the arsenal now?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are less than 30,000 winter clothes in the arsenal! Moreover, the warmth of these winter clothes is also debatable, and the warmth effect is very poor. Chen Fei said.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was no such cotton as it was in later generations. Cotton only came to China during the Ming Dynasty, and the winter clothes of the common people during the Tang Dynasty were very poor. The winter clothes of the people of the Tang Dynasty were kept warm by messy hemp, or some thicker cloth was used to keep them warm. In short, there is absolutely no cotton. However, on the contrary, the rich and noble people use silk quilts, and the rich and noble families use silk to keep warm, which is good. But this does not mean that ordinary people can afford silk, silk was a super luxury in ancient times, even if they are from China, China can not afford to let too many people wear silk.

After Chen Fei went to observe those armament warehouses, he finally complained about those histories. Chen Fei was really curious, at the end of the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, how did the Tang Dynasty army solve those winter battles, and then use the warmth effect? At that time, the winter clothes were so poorly kept warm, and the winter clothes were so insufficient, how could this soldier be able to fight in winter? This issue was not mentioned even on the mobile phone network in later generations. In historical records, there are many words about how the generals commanded and what kind of results were achieved. However, there is no record of logistics.

So Chen Fei really doesn't know, how did the original historical "Kubu Langzhong" solve various logistical problems? Not to mention other weapons, how did that Kubu Langzhong get so many armaments and produce enough military equipment for more than 200,000 troops in such a short period of time? Chen Fei can't learn about these things from the Internet in later generations, so the logistics has always been a serious negligence in the history of ancient wars, Chen Fei can't know how he did it, and there is no way to learn and love it.

"How can 30,000 winter coats be enough? At least 300,000 pieces! Li Jing said.

Chen Fei really wanted to cry, this Li Jing actually increased tenfold as soon as he opened his mouth, and asked for 300,000 winter clothes as soon as he opened his mouth. However, Chen Fei also thinks that this is not too much, there will be more than 200,000 soldiers on the expedition in the future, and it is normal to leave tens of thousands of winter clothes for backup, and 300,000 winter clothes are not too much for the battle, but a little less.

But Chen Fei was really helpless, how could he produce 300,000 pieces of winter clothes in a short period of time. Now it is less than a year away from the expedition, and 30,000 winter clothes a Chinese New Year's Eve, this is very difficult. You must know that a war requires a lot of things, and weapons and equipment are not just winter clothes. There are still a lot of weapons and equipment to be produced in the future, and this is the most manpowered. All kinds of weapons, bows, crossbows, long lances, armor and the like had to be prepared, which was enough to make Chen Fei vomit blood. 300,000 pieces of winter clothes, this production capacity is too difficult.

"Chen Fei, you, the Kubu Langzhong, must produce 300,000 winter clothes, and we are all counting on you! How could we have been able to wage this war without your ordnance support? Li Shimin said earnestly.

Chen Fei really regretted why he came to be this Kubu Langzhong, although he was suddenly promoted by six levels, but at this time node, it was really difficult to be a good Kubu Langzhong.
