Episode 514: [Pigeon]

……

Li Chengqian nodded.

Li Xiaogong continued: "Therefore, the problem is that the speed of the military report is too slow, if we can know the battle situation on the front line as quickly as possible, then we can make better arrangements!" ”

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian took a look at his prosperity and somewhat understood why he called himself here and brought prosperity to him.

"That's right, Your Highness, it was after I saw this carrier pigeon in Cheng Mansion that I knew it was His Highness's carrier pigeon for the sake of Cheng Zhijie, and ...... Hey, hey, hey......" The latter words, Li Xiaogong did not say it, but shamelessly let out three laughs.

Li Chengqian's eyes whitened.

Listen to him continue: "If you can use His Royal Highness's carrier pigeons to the front line, then you can let the carrier pigeons come with military newspapers, and the pigeons continue to fly to Chang'an, and you can bring military newspapers faster than manpower!" ”

Lao Li above nodded, indicating that he also meant the same.

Li Xiaogong added a point, and said: "And our espionage business, if we can use carrier pigeons to send back news, we don't need people to connect, and it's safer and faster." ”

Hearing them say this, Li Chengqian knew that this carrier pigeon had been discovered by them for strategic use, and he naturally would not say that he was unwilling to use it for them.

But recently the pigeons are hatching and a new generation of loyal pigeons has not yet come out, so how can this be used for them.

"Father, uncle, serving the homeland security of the Tang Dynasty is naturally something that Cheng Qian is willing to do. However, I am a prosperous wealth, he can only fly the route from the East Palace to Chengfu, and has not yet made a long-distance flight. And a new generation of carrier pigeons. It's still in the egg and hasn't hatched yet, so I'm afraid it can't be put into use now. At least next year! Li Chengqian told the situation of his pigeons.

Lao Li and Li Xiaogong glanced at each other. Lao Li asked: "Are you saying that after you once released a batch of pigeons, only Wangcai, the anti-bone boy, came back." All the others went back to Xiamaling? ”

Li Chengqian blinked his eyes twice and nodded yes.

Seeing that Lao Li and Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up, Li Xiaogong said: "Then His Highness said this, that is, the pigeons of Xiamaling, they all know the way back to Xiamaling, if they take them to other farther places, they may also come back?" ”

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian also discovered this truth.

I have always only thought about the East Palace, so if I go to deliver a military newspaper. As long as you can fly back to Xiamaling, what is the difference between flying back to Chang'an?

"Uncle is going to requisition the pigeons of Xiamaling immediately?" Li Chengqian clapped his hands and said, "If the pigeons are asked to send the military report to the Xiama Tomb and then transfer it to the palace, it will be feasible." However, the pigeons still need to be trained, and they must first catch and fly closer to the lower horse to see if they can fly back, and then after a while, the pigeons will be sent farther away. If you can come back again, if you can make it back, it's a good pigeon. ”

Li Chengqian thought of something and said, "If you want to send pigeons to Songzhou." Then go straight along this road, and each time you take it away and fly back, then the pigeons should be able to form their own course in the future. ”

"Routes?" The two old men asked.

"Oh. It's the flight path. Li Chengqian explained.

Both old men thought it was feasible and nodded in agreement.

Lao Li looked at Li Xiaogong. Asked: "This matter is presided over by Xiao Gong, how about it?" ”

He's making personnel arrangements.

Li Xiaogong hurriedly bowed. Refused: "Your Highness, the minister has been in charge of the spy academy recently, and he can't be busy, the spy academy is at the beginning of the semester, and all industries are waiting for the new, and the new concept proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet been fully figured out, and he really doesn't have the energy to preside over a military information system, Your Majesty should find other capable people to preside over it, as long as Your Majesty can let the military pigeons be able to use it for my spy academy, let the minister be satisfied!" ”

When Lao Li heard him say this, he was no longer reluctant, and then frowned and thought of the right candidate.

Li Chengqian felt that Lao Li's words should be insincere.

Li Xiaogong is now holding Datang's spy academy, which is the first regular spy, even if Li Xiaogong still has the strength to spare, it is impossible for him to preside over an army of pigeons of the same heavyweight military intelligence system. Li Xiaogong, who has mastered the two major businesses, has too much power, which will make Lao Li suspicious. Rather than be suspicious, it is better not to give. So he obviously won't give it, and he has to ask him if he wants it, really.

Of course, if Lao Li really wants Li Xiaogong to take care of the pigeons, then Lao Li wants Li Xiaogong to get down from the position of the spy academy.

One is to manage pigeons, the other is to manage people, of course Li Xiaogong still thinks that it is good to manage people.

Since Uncle Li doesn't care about the pigeons, Li Chengqian wants to insert people.

This pigeon was his idea, and this is not too much!

What he thought of was Qin Huaidao, if this kid doesn't make a career, how can he be worthy of the eldest sister.

"Father, since you don't have a candidate, it's better to listen to your sons push someone, Qin Huaidao, I think this kid is stable and reliable, father, let him go to the Horse Tomb to take care of the pigeons!" Li Chengqian said.

"Qin Huaidao?" Hearing this name, Lao Li and Li Xiaogong actually had to think for a while.

Li Xiaogong remembered it first and said, "It's Qin Shubao's grandson." ”

"Exactly." Li Chengqian responded.

Lao Li said: "You are really messing around, I have heard of that kid, he is a thick child, but he is only fourteen years old, and he has not even married a family, where can he say that he is steady, can a fourteen-year-old child manage a military newspaper system related to national affairs?" ”

Li Xiaogong agreed with Lao Li's words: "This information, if it is a mistake, will cause the defeat of a war, the loss of a city, the survival of tens of thousands or even an army, and even the safety of the country, so after the establishment of this carrier pigeon in the future, it still needs a heavyweight, steady figure to manage, and more importantly, it must be the old qualification of the military!" ”

He sighed: "This is a lifeline for the military, and it is not safe to hand it over to others." ”

Lao Li nodded in approval.

It seems that they take this pigeon too seriously.

Next, the two old men exchanged heads and discussed which one of them would be immortal to guard the pigeons.

Li Chengqian heard the names of Li Jing, Wei Chi Lao, and many more veterans from them, among which even Cheng Lao was nominated. But it was quickly denied, and this person went to guard filial piety, so he couldn't be disturbed.

In the end, they fell on an old man named Duan Zhixuan.

Who is Duan Zhixuan?

Li Chengqian was curious.

After preliminary discussions, Lao Li and the others had a candidate, so they immediately summoned the ministers to hold a meeting.
