Chapter 171: The Emperor is an old silver coin

Liu Ponu's words are very simple, that is, directly tell Li Ling not to toss for the time being, because if you toss, it may not have any effect.

A group of elites have been trained with hard work, but they were eliminated before they went to the battlefield, isn't this a waste of money and labor......

As for the so-called military reform, well, Liu Ponu purely fooled Li Ling.

And even if there were, it was definitely not now.

At the current level, Liu Ponu can't come up with anything more advanced.

Although the war in the era of cold weapons is also changing, the core ideas are actually those, and the mode of war has not changed much.

It is only when cold weapons develop into hot weapons that all modes of combat will change dramatically.

For Liu Ponu, it is not too difficult to develop thermal weapons, even if those advanced weapons cannot be made, can't flintlock pistols be made?

Even just a flintlock pistol is enough to change the current pattern of warfare.

However, in order to develop thermal weapons, it is necessary to first solve the logistical problem, especially the actual situation that the Han is now facing.

The places where the war took place were in the far western regions, and it was impossible for the troops to bring all the ammunition at once, which required the logistics to constantly transport the ammunition to the front line.

However, the grassland is very humid day and night, and if you use a flintlock pistol, it is very likely that you will not be able to fire at all on the battlefield.

Since the old man wanted to make himself the prince, Liu Ponu has planned a clear development route for himself.

In the Han Dynasty, it may be a bit ridiculous to talk about industry without agriculture, and some are unrealistic, but Liu Ponu doesn't think so.

Industry encompasses a whole category, and even in later generations, can agriculture develop without the support of industry?

Yuan Lao's contribution is great, but he only increased production, and the support of industry is to use the least number of people, plant more land, and then cooperate with advanced agricultural technology to get more output.

The Han Dynasty did not have Yuan Lao, and Liu Ponu did not dare to be too extravagant, but wouldn't giving priority to improving productivity also solve a big problem faced by agriculture?

The military is a little lower in Liu Ponu's planning, and now there is no one to threaten the position of the Han Dynasty.

It doesn't matter if Liu Che is reckless, or anything else, but he has indeed brought decades of respite and recuperation opportunities for the Han Dynasty.

"I heard that Li Ling has been a little irritable recently, because the matter of conscription has not been less blushing with Chen Zhong, and the soldiers who were recruited by him also seem to have some complaints!" Wang Wu said coldly.

"What's going on?" Liu Ponu was stunned.

Chen Zhong's main task was to promote the new plough and waterwheels to ensure the grain production of Shu.

Li Ling's task is to train the troops, both of which require a large number of people, and both require young and strong laborers, and it is normal for the two sides to have disagreements and contradictions.

Li Ling is not a newcomer who has not led soldiers, he was not like this when he was in Jiuquan.

I heard that Li Ling's soldiers trusted him, and they could not hesitate to carry out Li Ling's orders to the end, and they respected Li Ling himself, and even heard that after Li Ling left, many soldiers complained that their successors were not as good as Li Ling.

Li Ling and Chen Zhong had a conflict because of the conscription, which was expected.

But why did the soldiers complain about Li Ling?

"It is said that Li Ling's training intensity is too great, and the soldiers can't keep up with his progress, Li Ling doesn't seem to consider the feelings of the soldiers, but still goes his own ......way," Wang Wu replied simply.

"Transfer Li Ling back ......" Liu Ponu frowned, subconsciously ordered, and then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll tell the bad old man about this in person." ”

Li Ling is the lieutenant of Shu appointed by Liu Che, although Liu Ponu is the king of Shu, Liu Ponu himself has no power to transfer Li Ling.

Although Liu Ponu only needed to say a word, the emperor would directly order Li Ling to be recalled.

I have to say that Li Ling and his grandfather Li Guang really have such a lost similarity.

Both of them have unique abilities in training, and they can also bring them into play when they fight, but their tempers are more arrogant than the other.

His grandfather suffered a loss because he couldn't recognize the facts, and his ass always sat crookedly before he died with hatred, although the descendants of the Li family inherited some of Li Guang's advantages, but they failed to summarize his shortcomings well.

Li Ling is indeed not bad, and his ability is not bad, but with 5,000 infantry, he dares to go deep into the grassland to confront the Xiongnu head-on.

I really don't know what the bad old man in history thinks, and he would agree to this kind of war that already knows the outcome before it even starts?

When he went, Liu Ponu told Li Ling that this trip was mainly to find out, and it was only necessary to ensure that the basic training of the soldiers did not fall behind, and the specific military skills could be determined according to the situation, but the first task was definitely to develop agriculture first.

Although Wang Wu didn't say it, Liu Ponu basically guessed about it.

Chen Zhong strictly carried out the orders of the imperial court, but Li Ling made some small moves, although the number of recruits may not exceed the upper limit set by the imperial court.

However, in terms of training intensity, it definitely exceeds Liu Ponu's limit, and the contradiction between Chen Zhong and Li Ling.

According to Liu Ponu's understanding of the two, the truth of the matter is most likely that Li Ling's training was too ruthless, resulting in these people being unable to immediately put into agricultural production after leaving the barracks, and it took a period of time for them to recover.

Otherwise, with Chen Zhong's steady character, he would quarrel with Li Ling when he had nothing to do.

Liu Ponu couldn't help but put a big question mark in his heart?

How desperate is he trying to prove himself?

Or was it disgruntled from the start?

Or is he just waiting for an opportunity?

……

"Transfer Li Ling back to your Shu Kingdom, but it will exist in name only, have you thought about it?" Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu with some surprise.

Throwing those two bamboo slips to him also included a hint of the school examination, but Liu Che never thought of the idea of transferring Li Ling back.

"Shu is originally a disguise, what does it matter if it exists or not? Besides, even if he doesn't transfer him back, he will come back after a while because Shu is gone! Liu Ponu smiled.

Let Li Ling serve as the lieutenant of Shu in order to give Liu Ponu prestige, but I didn't expect Li Ling to do this, and he still has the prestige of a fart?

Now there are a lot of people in Shu who scold Li Ling, although there are no people who scold Liu Ponu, and there must be many people who complain about it.

Of course, if it weren't for the waterwheel and Quyuan plough supporting it, I'm afraid that there would definitely be more people scolding Liu Ponu than scolding Li Ling, and everything he did would also be counted on Liu Ponu's head by the people of Shu.

Was Liu Ponu wronged?

It's quite wronged.

But since Li Ling was chosen by him, then he had to honestly carry this pot.

"Have you thought about how to use him?" Liu Che asked with a determined face.

"Not ...... yet," Liu Ponu shook his head.

The kind of frivolous bragging in the past is now a big part of Liu Ponu's body that doesn't work.

With the continuous improvement of his identity and the increasing number of people and things he comes into contact with, Liu Ponu is no longer as relaxed as before to deal with these things.

Just like Li Ling, Liu Ponu felt that he knew history, and there should be no problem with him being trained in a targeted manner with his experience.

But reality slapped myself hard, some people can change, some people can't.

"Li Ling is exactly the same as his grandfather, but his excellence surpasses that of his grandfather, but his shortcomings also surpass his grandfather, if this kind of person is used well, then he will be invincible, but if he is not used well, he will also hurt others and himself!" Liu Che still said lightly, as if all this was under his control.

Liu Ponu looked at Liu Che with some surprise, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Could it be that this bad old man has already seen through Li Ling?

Then why did he send Li Ling to his side?

Test?

Is he testing Li Ling or is he testing me?

Isn't the old man quite appreciative of Li Ling?

It's not right, if the bad old man really appreciates Li Ling, how can history agree to send Li Ling to death?

Sending infantry to fight the main force of the Huns in the steppe, even the bad old man did not do such an unreliable thing in his most declining period.

With Liu Che's shrewdness and level, it seems that this kind of thing should not be done.

But it happened to him in history, and Li Ling fought well, but in the end he had to surrender because he ran out of ammunition and had no support.

Is it really what you imagined?

It's all in the bad old man's plan?

Appreciating Li Ling may be true, but as time goes by, the bad old man becomes more and more convinced that Li Ling's extremism cannot be changed, and such a person may bring surprises to people, but it may also be a disaster.

So he agreed to Li Ling's request to send troops, this is an opportunity for Li Ling, and it is also an opportunity to test whether his judgment is correct or not?

Although Liu Che's judgment proved to be wrong, it cannot be said to be completely wrong.

At least at the cost of 5,000 people, he tested Li Ling clearly and avoided more serious problems in the future.

"If he can defeat Li Ling's conceit, he has the potential to catch up with Champion Hou......" Liu Ponu seemed to understand Liu Che's meaning, and muttered to himself.

Listening to Liu Ponu's words, Liu Che smiled slightly, but did not open his mouth to explain anything.

No matter what outsiders say, Liu Che still hasn't had any major problems in looking at people.

Otherwise, how did Wei Qing promote him?

Is it because he is Wei Zifu's younger brother?

There are more relatives of the emperor, and although Liu Che was very infatuated with Wei Zifu back then, he did not lose his mind to the point of reusing everyone around her.

The premise of being able to be carried by Liu Che must be that you must have enough ability or potential.

Huo Qu's illness is the same, although he also has some reasons for his affiliation, but his ability is seen by Liu Che, so he is willing to be promoted.

Including the current Li Ling, these are really capable people, and Liu Che does not lack the vision to discover talents.

But Liu Ponu didn't show any eye-catching abilities in this regard, Luo Bing could barely get into the eye, but he was in charge of the workshop.

In other aspects, Liu Ponu rarely manages the relationship in terms of contacts, which is what Liu Che is most worried about.

is the most ruthless emperor, his ruthlessness is not only aimed at his own people, but also even more ruthless to outsiders......

"This is just sorted out by Storm Victory, you take a look at ...... first"
