Li Linfu not only raised the gatehouse, but even the bell tower of the Bodhi Temple in the west was moved to the west side of the temple court because of his power.

Later, Li Linfu was confiscated, which cannot be said to be cause and effect.

That's a later story, and that's at the time.

The Pingkangfang Mansion was completed, and Lu Zesheng came to resign.

Zhong Ding mountains and forests have their own nature, after all, he has no intention of career, but he hopes to return to his hometown, even the emperor can't be strong.

During the Zhenguan period, the "Book of Jin" was edited, and in one hundred and thirty-two volumes, Li Shimin wrote the historical treatise himself for only four biographies.

Among them, the historical status of Emperor Xuan of Jin and Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty Sima Yan is beyond words, and the remaining two articles, one is Wang Xizhi, and the other is Lu Ji and Lu Yun brothers.

Li Shimin is fond of the two kings and grass, and the world knows it.

However, his attention to the Lu brothers may have something to do with Lu Zesheng.

Mrs. Liu Shirang also brought her two sons to resign.

After Liu Shirang was rehabilitated, they no longer had to live in the palace of Li Yaoshi as slaves, but they were also reluctant to return to their hometown.

It was only because Liu Shirang was unjustly killed that year that they were abandoned by the Liu clan.

Over the years, because he went to Yangzhou with Pharmacist Li, Liu Shirang's two sons followed Lu Zesheng to do things and learned a lot of livelihoods.

So at this time, they decided to follow Lu Zesheng to the south.

Although Pharmacist Li and Chuchen were very reluctant, they could only give deep blessings and generous gifts.

After moving into the brand-new mansion, Li Dejian and Li Decheng have their own courtyards.

At that time, Pharmacist Li's ten-acre mansion was originally donated by Li Shimin, and at this time it was transferred to Xue Guwu.

Pei Xingjian was only temporarily borrowed, and his Pei family had a big business, and he had already added an industry in Chang'an.

At the beginning, it was only because he didn't want to get too close to Pei Lin that he agreed to Pharmacist Li's proposal and borrowed to live in his mansion.

At this time, Pei Lin had been deposed, and Feng Yu returned to his hometown, and Pei Siliang let Pei Xingjian move into his own house.

As a result, although the new house was nearly ten times larger than the old one, the number of people in the house was much smaller.

Pharmacist Li opened another courtyard in his new residence, so that Xue Guwu, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanche and others could stay overnight at any time, because ......

In the early days of Zhenguan, the atmosphere of the DPRK and China advocated simplicity.

Now Pharmacist Li has set up a banquet for a new home, and Li Shimin is also fortunate to be happy for half a day.

His high-profile posture was nothing more than to let the news reach the Turks, so that Jieli Khan thought that after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Liang division, he was already satisfied, and somewhat slowed down his defense.

In fact, at this time, Datang's preparations for war have not been slackened for a day.

Nearly two years ago, Pharmacist Li participated in the Wangri Majesty for the first time as a cabinet member, and then talked with Li Shimin about "the opportunity is ripe, and the Turks are preferable".

At that time, Pharmacist Li once said: "The so-called 'mature opportunity' is a bribe, a successful consolation, a bow and a sword, a brave soldier, and the terrain and weather are favorable to our army." ”

Now that bribery and consolation have been accomplished, the most important thing at present is to prepare bows and knives and refine the soldiers, so as to wait for the favorable terrain and weather.

At this time, the ordnance supervisor made bows, forged knives, and made armor, and the Taifu Temple raised horses, all in full swing.

The course of these matters must be discussed with Pharmacist Li from time to time.

Pharmacist Li coordinated the construction of the bow with Xue Guwu, the forging knife with Su Dingfang, and the horse training with Xue Wanche.

Therefore, the three of them all had to stay overnight in Pharmacist Li's mansion from time to time.

It was also nearly two years ago that the first Xiande Palace taught shooting, and after Li Shimin saw the "string pad", he had already issued an order to let Xue Guwu participate in the bow making of the treasury department.

The manufacture of a good bow often takes time and years.

To make a bow, you need "six materials", which are dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer.

The structure of the bow includes the bow back, bow face, and bowstring.

The side facing the target when the bow is shot has three parts, a pair of bow arms on both sides, and a bow in the middle, all of which are made of wood, that is, the "dry" in the six materials, and good dry wood can make the arrow shoot far.

The bow face refers to the side facing the archer when shooting, and is made of animal horns, which are the "horns" of the six materials, and good horns can make the arrow fly fast.

The back of the bow is pasted with the tendons of the beast, that is, the "tendons" in the six materials, and good tendons can make the bow elastic and let the arrow shoot deeply.

The back of the bow and the surface of the bow are glued with animal glue, that is, the "glue" in the six materials, and a good rubber material can make the two harmonize, so that the shooter can easily control the string.

"Silk" is used to make the bowstring, while "lacquer" is used to decorate and protect the surface of the bow.

After the six materials are ready, the conditions can start to make good bows.

Dry in winter, boil horns in spring, treat tendons in summer, and then combine the first three into a bow with glue, and then paint.

When it freezes in the middle of winter, check whether the bow is deformed and whether the paint is peeled.

If everything is in order, you will be ready to go next spring.

A bow bow is installed at the end of the bow arm to increase the momentum of the bowstring and reduce the force required to pull the string.

This time, the newly made bow has a string pad on the side of the bow.

Such a process takes more than a year.

The infantry and cavalry used different bows.

The infantry used a longbow and priority was given to range.

The cavalry used horned bows, which were shorter and easier to carry on horseback.

To facilitate riding and shooting, the upper arm of the angular bow is longer than the lower arm.

All this, Pharmacist Li only discussed with Xue Guwu, drew the demand into a pattern, and handed it over to the treasury department to make a bow.

Unless Li Shimin asks questions, he will not explain much to the outside world.

In the era of cold weapons, long-range weapons were heavy bows and crossbows, and in close combat, long weapons were required.

The "spear" first appeared in the long weapon, which existed in the Shang Dynasty, and was originally only sharpened into a long wooden pole with two ends, and then tied with sharp metal at one end of the wooden pole.

In the middle of the Han Dynasty, "spear" and "lance" appeared, and the latter was also called "horse lance" because it was suitable for cavalry.

Between the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the names of "spear" and "gun" were gradually mixed and not distinguished.

At this time, what Pharmacist Li asked Su Dingfang to coordinate and forge was a new special long weapon, called the "Mo Knife".

The previous long weapons, including spears, spears, lances, ge, halberds, berylliums, etc., had metal parts that were roughly shaped like short swords, neither long nor wide, and were used with heavy blows and stabs, rather than chopping and slashing.

This time, the newly made Mo knife is suitable for hitting, stabbing, chopping, and slashing at the same time.

Four years ago, during the battle to exterminate Fu Gongyi, Li Yaoshi had seen Kan Ling use a two-edged knife about one zhang long, which was extremely lethal.

Kan Ling was from Qizhou, which was later used by Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin, so Pharmacist Li asked Su Dingfang if he knew about this weapon? Sure enough, Su Dingfang was no stranger to this, he had met several colleagues from Goguryeo in the army, and they also used similar long weapons.

The difference between this kind of sharp weapon and spears and spears and spears is that its metal blade head is particularly long, accounting for half of the total length, and the one-zhang long Mo knife has a knife length of five feet and a pole length of five feet.

The blades on both sides are like swords, and its width is like a knife, so it is called "Mo knife".

Although the Mo knife is extremely lethal, it also has many shortcomings.
