Chapter 61: Zhang Says on Soldiers
If Wu Zetian wants to represent Tang, she first has to deal with the Li Tang clan, she killed the Li Tang clan and killed many clan children.
Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi are even more ruthless, and the two of them even have the idea of killing the Li Tang clan, under their management, the Li Tang clan has suffered heavy casualties, and so far, there are not many people who can survive.
is Li Dan and Li Xian, the reason why they survived is not because of anything else, but because they are Wu Zetian's own sons. Otherwise, no one can say whether they will survive.
That's it, the two of them also went through a lot of hardships, suffered a lot, and brushed shoulders with death many times.
Especially Li Dan, who is a thorn in the side of Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghe, a thorn in the flesh, and has been in distress many times, which can be said to be nine deaths.
There are many people who want to restore the honorary title of the Li Tang clan and bury it again, but they dare not mention it.
Li Dan's face was abrupt, but his mouth opened and closed again, looking at Wu Zetian.
It's not that he hasn't thought about it, he really wants to do it, but he doesn't dare to do it. Because although Wu Zetian abdicated, Jiwei was still there, Li Dan was still afraid of this mother.
Brush!
The eyes of the ministers fell on Li Xian, although there was no lack of appreciation, more worry.
Although the Li Tang clan has died so much, it was all caused by Wu Zetian, and it is necessary to restore their honorary titles and bury them thickly, which is the enemy of Wu Zetian.
Sure enough, Wu Zetian's eyes were blazing, staring at Li Xian, and his expression was quite unkind.
Li Xian shrank his neck, and he didn't dare to come out.
He is the same as Li Xian, and he is still afraid of Wu Zetian's mother. When I saw Wu Zetian, I was annoyed. He couldn't be fearless.
"Uncle. What you say is a big deal. Can't help but do it. Li Longji spoke at the right time and said, "I am going to restore Li Tang, naturally I want to restore the honorary titles to those children of the clan who died unjustly, and also give them a generous burial. ā
In fact, these children of the Li Tang Dynasty clan have little to do with Li Longji, because he is a modern person. However, it is necessary in politics to do so, so that Li Longji can better unite people's hearts.
Just think about it. Li Longji restored the Li Tang Dynasty, but he didn't even dare to restore the honorary titles of the sons of the Li Tang clan who were killed, which is too much to say.
"Are you ......" Wu Zetian stared at Li Longji, shook his head, sighed wordlessly, closed his mouth, and stopped talking.
The hanging hearts of the ministers finally let go. Immediately after, the ministers wanted to laugh again.
Li Longji can pull Wu Zetian off the throne, what is Wu Zetian's dissatisfaction? If Li Longji was worried about Wu Zetianman and dissatisfied, could he still kill the Wu family and Princess Taiping? Can you still oust Wu Zetian from the throne?
"Thank you." Li Xian and Li Dan were overjoyed.
For this matter. The two brothers have long wanted to do it, but they just don't dare to do it. Now. Li Longji did it, and they were naturally full of joy. You must know that some of the children of Li Tangzong who were killed were their elder brothers, the sons of Tang Gaozong, and they were very close to them.
Next, the national policy was discussed for a while.
"In terms of internal affairs, it has been almost discussed. The remaining issues should be left to the court meeting to discuss with the ministers. Li Longji was very satisfied with the internal affairs, and after a change of words, he said: "Next, we will discuss how to destroy the big food." ā
"Kill the Great Food?" The ministers were in good spirits.
Especially the Nirvana Master, who is even more energetic. He, the prince of the dead country, thinks about returning to his homeland all the time, and now he is finally looking forward to it, looking forward to the Tang Dynasty going to do something against the Arab Empire, and he can not help but be excited about his return.
Wu Zetian's eyes sparkled, and his spirit was lifted.
The destruction of the Arab Empire, how exhilarating it was, even if Wu Zetian was not in good spirits, he was still excited.
"Zhang said, you can tell them about our battle with Da Shi again." Li Longji said to Zhang.
Zhang said that he commanded that battle, and he said that it was very good.
I had long heard that the battle was brilliant, and everyone's ears were pricked up, and they listened intently.
"That's how the battle went......," Zhang said with a slight groan, and began to explain what happened.
He has clear thinking, quick thinking, and a detailed explanation is very clear.
"Although I have heard you talk about this battle, it is still exciting to hear at this time." Wu Zetian was quite emotional.
"yes." The ministers nodded in unison, in agreement.
"In the battle against the Great Food, although we won, it was extremely difficult." Li Longji's eyes sparkled, and he said: "Because Da Shi is the fierce enemy of Datang!" How to destroy the Great Food, you can speak freely. ā
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, this military strategy is still for someone who thinks he is extraordinary." Yao Chongti yƬ, but his eyes were aimed at Zhang and said.
His meaning is obvious, Zhang Shuo is known as the first in the world, has far-reaching vision, extraordinary intelligence, and has followed Li Longji to fight for three years, and has a deeper understanding of the Arab Empire than others, and it is the best way for Zhang Shuo to lay out the military strategy.
However, he did not deal with Zhang Shuo, and his words were a little disdainful.
"Humph!" Zhang Shuo snorted disdainfully and said, "Just say it." Don't think that your ten things are good, I can say it. I'll let you have a good look at it, and it's even called a real military strategy. ā
"You don't want to say big things and flash your tongue, and in the end you want me to point you out the art of war." Yao Chong responded with a sneer.
These two goods have no grudges, but they are fateful, since they met for the first time, they have looked at each other unpleasantly, and they have to pinch each other at every opportunity.
"Humph!" Li Longji snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "This is a matter of discussion, not for you to be angry." If you dare to talk nonsense again, the law will do it. ā
The two of them shrank their necks, and they didn't dare to fight anymore.
"Zhang said, you can say it." Li Longji said to Zhang.
"Yes." Zhang said busily: "Dashi has a vast territory, many mouths, and abundant products, and it is not under the Tang Dynasty. Their army dares to fight, fight, dare to die, brave and fearless, this is the fierce opponent of Datang! It should not be taken lightly. ā
The crowd nodded their heads in agreement.
Although he only fought one war with the Arab Empire, he also saw that the Arab Empire was very good. To despise the Arab Empire would be to bring about its own destruction.
"If Datang wants to destroy the Great Food, it must devote the power of the country. to be able to do it. Zhang continued: "Datang has a lot of preparations to do. The main ones are: First, it is necessary to conduct large-scale military training. In my estimation. If Datang wants to destroy the Great Eclipse, it also needs a minimum of 300,000 troops, preferably 500,000, or even more. ā
The Arab Empire had a vast territory, numerous mouths, abundant products, and strong economic power. In addition, its army dares to fight, fight, dare to die, and is brave and fearless. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy such an opponent, it needed a large army. Its number will not be less than 300,000. It's better to have more than 500,000 to have more chances of winning.
The period when the Tang Dynasty had the largest number of troops was during the Tianbao period, and it was only 540,000. In today's Tang Dynasty, the total number of troops is not so much, and it takes 200,000 to be stationed in a territory of 10,000 miles alone, which is the lowest number. To set aside enough mobile troops, more troops are needed.
A big war with the Arab Empire requires more than half a million troops. The Tang Dynasty had a huge shortage of troops, and it was impossible not to train soldiers.
Thus. Large-scale military training is the first priority.
"Today, the government is in tatters and no longer meets the needs. The minister thought that he should replace it with soldiers. Zhang said to mention yƬ.
If we want to conduct large-scale military training, we must have enough soldiers, and if we don't even have soldiers, what kind of training can we talk about?
And the government soldiers have long been unable to meet the needs, in the conquest of the Turks, Wu Zetian could not even take out 400,000 troops, which shows how corrupt the government soldiers are.
Therefore, it has become inevitable to replace the government soldiers with soldiers.
Although the first person to discover the corruption of the government soldiers was Chen Xuanli, however, he did not find a way to replace it. Now, if there is to be a war with the Arab Empire, it is necessary to fully implement the military system.
"Yes." Di Renjie: They deeply agreed.
Even Yao Chong, who didn't deal with Zhang, nodded in approval.
"The second is to remake the ordnance." Zhang said: "The range of the trebuchet of the Great Food is longer than our strong crossbow, if it is used well, it can completely suppress our crossbow array, then we will be in big trouble." Therefore, it is inevitable to remake ordnance and invest a large number of trebuchets with a longer range, which can be used to suppress the trebuchets of the Great Food. ā
In the battle with Gu Taibai, the Tang army fully realized the horror of the trebuchets of the Arab Empire. The reason why Gu Taibai was defeated so quickly was because he was not familiar with the Tang army's fighting style and did not protect the trebuchet well. Otherwise, the Tang army will pay a lot of price.
"Not only to invest a lot of trebuchets, but also to work on armor." Zhang said: "The armor of the Great Food is far inferior to ours, which is our greatest advantage. However, after this battle, I believe that Yusuf will find a way to make up for it. If we can't maintain this superiority in armor, we're in big trouble. ā
Armor was the biggest advantage of the Tang army, because the steel output of the Tang Dynasty was many times that of the Arab Empire, and the Tang Dynasty could completely allow the Tang Army to equip a large number of armor with amazing defensive power, while the Arab Empire could not reach the Tang Dynasty because of its limited steel production. However, with Yusuf's shrewdness, he will not fail to find a way to compensate for this shortcoming.
Therefore, if the Tang Dynasty wants to maintain this advantage, it needs to invest.
"The third thing is that with new ordnance, we must study new tactics and tactics and conduct training against big food." Zhang Shuo proposed a third strategy.
It is obvious that the emergence of new weapons requires new tactics to adapt to them.
Good weapons alone do not necessarily lead to victory, because this requires new tactics and tactics. Bifa said that the Iran-Iraq war is known as the "exhibition ground of modern weapons", and the world's advanced weapons are collectively unveiled, but the fight is a mess.
Why is this happening? It's because it won't work! It doesn't work well!
The reason why it is not used well is that there is no advanced tactical method of operation.
It is important to study new tactics and tactics and to train the army in this way so that they can master it. Only in this way will the combat power of the Don army be strong enough to defeat the Arab Empire.
Of course, training can be carried out specifically against the armies of the Arab empire, and it will be better to do so.
"The fourth thing is that the military system should be reformulated, as well as the reward and punishment measures." Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows, his voice was a little high, and said: "Fighting for the Great Food is fighting thousands of miles away, and it will be very hard. The minister thought that no good profits were not enough to tempt people to go, and the court should let those who went there be good profits. ā
Zhang said that he had a unique vision and was very pragmatic, and his words hit the nail on the head. (To be continued......)
