Section 563 The alien legions of the Tang Dynasty
After giving instructions to Yuanjing and Yuanchang, Li Yuanxing signaled that the two could go back first. If you can't figure out these things, don't tell the people in your own house, Li Yuanjing can go to Wei Zheng, and Li Yuanchang can go to Cui Dunli.
Li Yuanxing personally sent the two to the middle gate, and then turned around and went back to the study.
Lan Qiu followed Li Yuanxing's side.
Li Yuanxing asked, "Are the princesses back?" ”
"If you go back to Your Highness, you haven't yet!" Lan Qiu replied truthfully, Li Yuanxing looked at the hand on his wrist, and shook his head helplessly: "It's really crazy, it's a rare day like this." You go and make arrangements, and let General Lei Qi Ashina come to see this king tomorrow. ”
Lan Qiu answered, and followed behind Li Yuanxing obediently.
That night, the princesses of Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin, did not return to the Tiance General's Mansion until eleven o'clock at night, and a group of little girls were more like a flock of birds, making noise.
But they are the princesses of Qin, who dares to say that they are not.
Hearing that His Royal Highness King Qin had fallen asleep, they were quiet, and they originally promised to come back before the second watch, but they didn't go home until the third watch, and all the women were afraid that Li Yuanxing would be angry, so they naturally became quiet immediately.
In fact, Li Yuanxing did not fall asleep.
originally thought that everything was normal, but because Goguryeo suddenly jumped out, it seemed to be busy again.
Li Changying quietly picked up his toes and entered the house, Li Yuanxing closed his eyes, although he didn't know who came in, but he could enter his house at this time, he must be one of the seven concubines. So Li Yuanxing said softly: "Such a light man is a thief who enters the house." It's still empty-hearted! ”
"Your Highness!" Li Changying sprinkled a coquette, and then got into Li Yuanxing's quilt.
Li Yuanxing heard that it was Li Changying, and stretched out his hand: "You guys are in Yaozhou, what new things have you come up with?" ”
"I've made a new Feiyan cannon, but the gunpowder made by those Taoist priests can't work. So instead of using gunpowder, we chose fire oil, and the walls could not be blown up anyway, so it was better to light a fire to the enemy's tents and grain and grass. Li Changying leaned on Li Yuanxing and whispered.
Li Yuanxing understood that the Taoist priests were engaged in gunpowder, not explosives. Naturally, the lethality is limited.
And to fly far. Naturally, it can't be filled with too much medicine.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing asked again: "How far can you fly?" ”
"Within 2,000 steps, you can keep the landing point within three steps. It can fly up to 2,800 paces and has several masters of arithmetic. I even calculated the effect of the wind on the delphinium. But they weren't quite right. You must know that if you can't calculate accurately, it is inconvenient to adjust the wing angle on the delphinium! ”
Li Yuanxing was really surprised in his heart.
You know, these guys in Datang have actually begun to use the principles of aerodynamics.
Surprised to surprised, Li Yuanxing remained silent. Such a reaction is normal in Li Changying's eyes, you must know that Li Yuanxing is ordering someone to create a legendary artifact, that huge air fortress, Li Changying could not have dreamed of, but he believes that Yaozhou will definitely be able to make it.
Li Yuanxing didn't ask again, but just grabbed Li Changying hard: "Sleep." Tomorrow you will be allowed to go to Lemin Garden again! ”
Can this be slept?
Li Changying let Li Yuanxing consume his physical strength for another twenty minutes, and then he fell asleep on Li Yuanxing.
Early the next morning, Li Yuanxing felt that Li Changying had gotten up.
But Li Yuanxing still felt sleepy, so he slept for a while.
When Li Yuanxing really fell asleep, he was startled when he looked at his watch, it was only half past six in the morning.
"Your Highness is up, breakfast is ready!" Today it is Yuan Chun's turn to stay in Fuzhong.
"The princesses seem to be out again?" Li Yuanxing asked. Yuan Chun helped Li Yuanxing get dressed, and said, "I went out half an hour ago, and I thought that I would have arrived at Lemin Garden." The princesses said they were going to have breakfast in Lemin Garden. ”
Li Yuanxing was happy, and said to Yuan Chun: "I don't know if the people who open a store in Lemin Park are tired. ”
"They are not tired, yesterday I heard that a small snack seller, one day and one night their store actually earned more than 20 yuan. For fear of selling out, all kinds of materials are piled up in the house, and even the sleeping room occupies most of it. The shop invited more than a dozen men, divided into three shifts, each shift of four hours, and the fire was never extinguished. ”
"It's really good, people can earn money, and they are naturally happy."
"However, I heard that the daily wages of the Chang'an Gang have risen by 20% compared with the outside in Lemin Garden, and the wages of the chef in charge have at least doubled." Yuan Chun said happily, as if the people had benefited, and she had also earned money.
When Li Yuanxing was having breakfast, Ashinadur arrived.
"Have you eaten, sit down together!"
"Thank you, Your Highness. Ashinadur was not polite, and after sitting down, he picked up the bowl and ate it. ”
Li Yuanxing had already eaten well, and said while wiping his mouth: "Last time, after the Battle of Shuofang. Seventy thousand of Jieli's elite troops were actually taken into Chang'an. But only a few of these people were dispersed and sent to work in the river engineering camp, but many of the soldiers were sent to the Jingyang coal mine. ”
Li Yuanxing said that Ashinadur knew about the situation.
And he also knew that there were about 50,000 people who were divided by various ethnic groups on the grassland, and those who were pulled into Chang'an could be said to be all pawns. Then there were more than 300,000 people, but the king of Qin exchanged silver money and other things from the grassland, and most of these people were from the original tribe of Jieli.
It can also be said that it is the family of this thug.
It's just that Ashinadur doesn't know how these people are arranged, and he still doesn't know where these people are.
"Have you been to the coal mine?" Li Yuanxing asked.
"I've been there, and those who work in the coal mine are considered coolies. It's just that His Highness gave them good food. Ashinadur didn't go around in circles, and there was no need for him to go around in circles in front of Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing motioned for Ashinadur to add another breakfast, and then said: "Their family was originally in Hebei. A few months ago, I started to get them to Huazhou one after another, broke them up, and mixed them into the villages of ordinary people. It is said that Huazhou is not small, but there are more than 300,000 people, but there are also nearly 100,000 households. The immigrants from Huazhou, plus the original residents, accounted for almost four percent. ”
Ashinadur didn't speak, he didn't quite understand what Li Yuanxing wanted to do.
"Go to the Jinghe side to recruit soldiers, who is willing to fight for my Datang Dynasty, will be exempted from hard labor. Killing three enemies can make one member of the family go to slavery. After three years in the army, individuals can also be exempted from slavery, and even if they want to return to the grassland with their families, the king will not stop them, and they will also be paid for the journey. ”
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Ashinadur stood up.
"Your Highness, it's not easy. These people are die-hard loyalists of Jieli, and even if they wear out some of their blood as coolies, these people are still difficult to control. Can you choose a part and come slowly? Or, break up and join other legions! Ashinadur was unsure.
You know, the shili of Jieli on the grassland is gone.
But there are also the little Khans of Tuli, and there are other tribes that are inextricably linked to the Jieli tribe.
As soon as these people have different intentions, they will make the army mutiny, and he cannot afford this crime.
"You go and figure it out, 10,000 is the minimum number, and this king needs a team of very elite cavalry, and it is stronger than the Tatars and Khitans. Your 3,000 men are far from enough, this team has to run 500 miles day and night, no matter how elite the 3,000 people are, they can't face several times the army, and 10,000 people are more reliable. ”
Ashinadur thought about it again and again, but he didn't have enough confidence in his heart.
"Go back and think about it, when you have time, go to Jingyang and Huazhou for a walk, this matter is not urgent, but don't delay it for too long. To give you a privilege, Jingyang side performance haode slave labor, you can be allowed to take a three-day vacation in Chang'an City, and the cost of the Qin Wangfu will be paid. If anything goes wrong with the people on vacation, count it in! ”
"Humble generals!"
Ashinadur couldn't refuse, this was a military order.
And if he refuses, some of the generals of Datang are willing to take over that task. Isn't it just 10,000 cavalry for 500 miles a day and night, and there are ten generals in the Tang army who can do this. Among these people, I am at most at the upper middle level.
Ashinadur left, frowning.
He really had a headache, he was not afraid that those captured Jieli tribe sergeants would not join the army, nor was he afraid that these people would not be able to do so. The most feared thing is that these people will not follow the rules, make trouble, or even mutiny.
Wei Zheng came in.
"Your Highness, General Ashina seems to be powerless to do this."
"He always has to grow, this little thing is not too difficult, right?" Li Yuanxing believes that Ashinadur should not be just a general, this is a handsome talent, at least in the future, he will have the ability of Li Ji and Hou Jun to gather seventy percent of the army, and in the single item of cavalry, it can be said that it should be very strong.
Wei Zheng suggested again: "Your Highness, it's better to send someone to help him, at least come up with an idea!" ”
"No, if he can't finish it, just change the team to execute. Whether it is Lao Cheng's, General Wei Chi's, or Zhang Shigui's, they can all be competent. Seeing that Li Yuanxing had already made up his mind, Wei Zheng was no longer persuading. In the view of Admiral Tiance's Mansion, there is only one more choice, not a must.
Li Yuanxing said again: "Tell the Khitan people, the Yan people." This king needs the most elite cavalry, let them prepare. When to use it and how to use it will be told to them later. Let them be more attentive in the past two years, what this king wants is the elite, not the number. Don't think that just because they've fought a few tailwind battles, they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. ”
"Your Highness, it's better to take that opportunity to conduct another military exercise."
Hearing Wei Zheng's suggestion, Li Yuanxing thought it was good.
But after thinking about it, this is not a festival, and there is no celebration to hold military exercises, this is not a clear demonstration for foreign envoys.
After thinking about it, Li Yuanxing didn't dare to agree: "King Rong Ben think again!" (To be continued......)
PS: I still said that I would write at night, but at eight o'clock, I fell asleep on the sofa.
Woke up and coded a chapter.
