Chapter 535: The Great War
After comprehensive consideration, it was decided to send 100,000 troops to join forces with Xue Yantuo.
Two against one, from this moment on.
However, even so, the Turks continued to supply artillery carts with ammunition, and the Turkic khan was not afraid at all, he was fearless, but had the upper hand.
In the face of the joint crusade of the two countries, they slowly showed a hegemonic posture, and the two armies were defeated and retreated.
After several battles, the countries continued to pay attention, and the Turks were too strong, so that they once again felt the power of the artillery carriage.
As we all know, without artillery wagons, the Turks would not be able to defeat Xue Yantuo at all, but at present, they can still have the upper hand in the battle against the two countries and win for a long time, which is not weak.
At the same time, Li Xingchen, who was far away in the capital, was also paying attention to this war, to be precise, this war was also what he was looking forward to, and it was also laid out by him.
The capital is still very lively, and the war between the Three Kingdoms has no impact on the capital, if there is, it is the caravans, or the families, they cannot trade in the Turks and other places.
The people of the capital were also very clear about the war between the Three Kingdoms, because these things were published in the newspapers.
Li Xingchen delegated power to Qian Mingyue as much as possible, so that more facts were published in the newspapers, instead of some false news that reported how good the imperial court was and how bad other countries were.
Only officials who dare to speak their minds freely can be supported and loved by the people, otherwise the lie will be exposed after a long time.
Today, the people of the capital have asked the government to cancel the curfew in various places.
At present, the curfew is only open on Suzaku Street, and night markets are still not allowed in other places.
In this regard, Jing Zhaoyin received opinions, and the three provinces and six ministries began to discuss and make decisions, and it was only a matter of time before the curfew was lifted.
Of course, Li Xingchen also knows these things, and Li Xingchen cares more about the development of the capital and the development of the Great Wei than anyone else.
There is a lesson from the past, the development is too fast, causing the people to be panicked and uneasy, and they can't accept this speed, so he also slows down appropriately, but not too slowly, after all, the technical college may invent new gadgets every day, or transform old things.
Today's development of Dawei needs to be controlled, and it needs to be healthy, and healthy development will be accepted by more people.
For example, the re-transformation of the textile machine has made many people become rich.
The imperial court is also very pure, the people do not evade taxes, pay taxes on time, they will not be blocked, and the policy development is very difficult.
However, once tax evasion is discovered, it will face very severe penalties, such as high amounts of money, or a ban on business for the next three generations.
The Royal Palace, the Hall of Parliament.
Li Xingchen summoned the prime minister and other confidant ministers.
"How many grenades and artillery trucks are there in the arsenal today?" Li Xingchen asked.
The head of the arsenal is the prime minister.
Among Li Xingchen's henchmen, the number one henchmen are the prime minister and Qian Mingyue, one is in charge of weapons and the other is in charge of royal business.
"According to statistics, there are about 50,000 taels of artillery trucks and more than 100,000 grenades." The prime minister thought for a moment and arched his hand.
At present, gun trucks and grenades are no longer the main research directions, and the Arms Department accepted Li Xingchen's secret will a month ago to develop new weapons.
However, old weapons such as gun trucks will still be produced in batches every once in a while.
Li Xingchen nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Order, prepare 10,000 artillery trucks!" ”
"Your Majesty is going to participate in the Three Kingdoms War?" The prime minister was surprised.
He has long been accustomed to calmness, and now it is difficult to control his mood.
Everyone knows that all the countries of the artillery carriage want it, if these things are used on the battlefield at this time, then what if the Turks and Xue Yantuo stop fighting and join forces to snatch the artillery carriage of the Great Wei?
You must know that over the years, Da Wei has offended the surrounding countries one by one, and once released their pigeons, without giving them the black blade, they have long been annoyed.
Li Xingchen smiled, "What's wrong?" Surprised by what? ”
"Your Majesty, do you really want to go to war?"
Li Xingchen shook his head, "No." Just get ready, and then I will order people to transport these things to the front line to help Xue Yantuo fight the Turks. ”
The prime minister gasped, oh my God, is Your Majesty crazy? Can you get back what you gave out? And Xue Yantuo may not be grateful to Dade, isn't this making trouble for Dawei?
It is better to take this opportunity to let the Turks wipe out Xue Yantuo and Tugu, and then the Great Wei will destroy the Turks on the grounds of crusade.
Thinking about it again, the Turks now also have artillery carriages, and the Great Wei has lost its leading role in weapons, and it is difficult to fight.
The prime minister couldn't figure out what Li Xingchen meant now.
Li Xingchen smiled, "Go ahead, calculate it according to the market price, and make a tenfold profit, the black blade cheated them before, and I feel ashamed, subtract some of the black blade's money, and charge more appropriately." ”
The prime minister pursed his lips and could only agree.
Among the many decisions, Li Xingchen has never made a mistake, and now that Li Xingchen has made a new decision, he has no reason to refute it.
"Go ahead." Li Xingchen waved his hand, of course.
The Turkic development of the artillery carriage was not what Li Xingchen thought, but things had already happened, and there was no regret medicine to take, so he could only make some corresponding arrangements for the current situation.
Now the layout has begun to bear fruit, as he thought, the Turks want to occupy the artillery wagons that the countries work together, and not give them to other countries.
In this case, then carry out the second step plan, sell the gun car to Xue Yantuo, and let them continue to fight!
……
On the battlefield, the grassland is no longer as green as before, with clear water and blue sky, full of corpses, and the green grass is also dyed red.
The war between the two sides is in full swing and is not limited to one place.
The Great Wei envoy transported the artillery carriage from the capital to the border city, and then the envoy and the border general reported Li Xingchen's meaning, and the general immediately sent someone to check the current situation.
After that, the envoy went to Xue Yantuo with a convoy of artillery carriages.
Xue Yantuo's big tent!
King Xue Yantuo and King Tuyuhun are discussing how to reduce the casualties of the two warriors!
Yes, it is about reducing casualties, not victory.
In the face of countries with artillery trucks, everyone knows that there is no chance of winning, but they can't swallow this breath, and they will drag it first! During the delay, it is necessary to seek assistance from other countries, and it is necessary to reduce casualties.
And now each country has sent an army to secretly infiltrate the Turkic territory to raid it.
However, they are all steppe tribes, and raiding small tribes will not change the essence of the problem, and the impact will not be particularly large.
The two discussed the headache when a soldier came to report.
"Wang, the Wei people asked to see him, claiming to have sent a gun carriage."
Wei people? When the two heard this, they looked at each other.
Great Wei sent someone to send them a gun carriage?
After a moment of silence, King Xue Yantuo invited the other party into the account.
Soon, the Great Wei envoy swaggered in, "I've seen two kings. ”
The envoy arched his hand and smiled, his face light.
Faced with the lord of the two countries, he was not afraid.
