First of all, forging is labor-intensive and extremely expensive.

Secondly, the people who use it must be strong and strong, for example, Kan Ling is known for being strong, and the Goguryeo nation is also strong.

In addition, the user must be trained rigorously.

So at this time, Pharmacist Li not only coordinated the forging of the Mo Dao with Su Dingfang, but also asked him to form the Mo Dao team with the brothers he brought.

Just as seven years ago, Pharmacist Li defeated Xiao Mo with a specially trained special naval force, and now he wants to form a special cavalry unit and conduct special training in order to defeat Jieli.

Both infantry and cavalry had to rely on horses.

Infantry should have at least one person and one horse, and cavalry should have at least one person and two horses.

In the early days of Zhenguan, the number of mares available for breeding was seriously insufficient, and the whole country was "dove and embers, and only 3,000 peons were obtained".

Fortunately, at that time, there was a young secretary Zhang Wansui in Taifu Temple, who was the most outstanding horse breeding expert in Chinese history.

More than ten years ago, when Pharmacist Li served as the county governor of Mayi, Zhang Wansui was also in Mayi.

At that time, he followed Liu Wuzhou and killed Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Ma Yi.

After Liu Wuzhou's defeat, Zhang Wansui entered the Tang Dynasty with Wei Chi Jingde and Xun Xiang, but was not reused at first.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was regarded as the servant of Shaoqing, responsible for the stables, stables, pastors, and supervisors in various places.

Under his rule, from the early years of Zhenguan to the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, in just over forty years, the number of available horses surged from 7,000 to 706,000! Li Shimin is a talented person, which can be seen in the show.

Zhang Wansui entered the Taifu Temple, and in less than two years, he had bred the available horses from 7,000 to 30,000.

It is expected that in another year, it will increase to 60,000 horses.

However, most of the horses can only be used as pack horses, pull horses, and ride horses, and only the best horses can be used as war horses.

War horses, on the other hand, not only need to be trained, but also interact with the knights to form a stable friendship in order to play their best role in battle.

This coordinated the work of horse selection and horse training, and Pharmacist Li entrusted Xue Wanche to be responsible.

As for Jiayin, Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs. National Martyrdom": "Wu Gexi was rhinoceros armor, and the car was wrong and short-handed. "As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were rhinoceros armor and vermilion rhinoceros armor made of rhinoceros leather.

In the Han Dynasty, there was Xuanjia, and from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was black light armor.

The special forces created by Li Shimin to please Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong have also been passed down to future generations under the name of Xuanjia.

In ancient times, whether it was made of leather or iron, most of them were dark or vermilion, because of the "lacquer".

Han Feizi. "Ten Mistakes": "Yao Chan in the world, Yu Shun received it, as a food vessel...... Flowing paint on it...... Yu is used as a sacrificial vessel, the ink is dyed outside, and Zhu paints inside. "As early as three generations ago, Huaxia lacquer technology was very mature.

In addition to being used for wooden utensils such as food utensils, sacrificial vessels, furniture, and musical instruments, the armor is also painted layer by layer, so that it can better defend against the slashing of enemy weapons.

Since ancient times, lacquer trees have spread throughout the Yellow River Basin, the Yangtze River Basin, and the Pearl River Basin.

However, the Turkic territories did not grow and could not make lacquered armor.

Therefore, compared with the Turks, the armor of Middle-earth has a great advantage.

However, the cost of Xuanjia is too high, and it can only be reserved for a few elites.

Pharmacist Li planned to let Su Dingfang's Mo Dao team use it, and even equip the war horses with corresponding horse armor.

In this regard, he entrusted the coordination work to Hebi.

In September of the second year of Zhenguan, the Turks once again bordered Koubian.

After all, not everyone in the DPRK and China knows how to "prepare for Xue Yantuo" as the "General Manager of the Guannai Dao March"? As a result, some ministers suggested that the ancient Great Wall be repaired as a defense.

The construction of the Great Wall began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The Book of Songs. Lesser. Out of the car" recorded: "The Son of Heaven ordered me, and the city was on the other side." He Nanzhong, Xuan Yu Xiang. ”

At that time, the Great Wall was not only used to defend against nomadic invasions, but also to defend countries against each other.

In order to strengthen the border defense, the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty also built the Great Wall.

Li Shimin's vision is far more than defense.

At the beginning of the year, he and Pharmacist Li made a rice plate deduction in the Yiqiu Palace, and after Pharmacist Li discussed the Turkic tribes and Zhuhu, he immediately spoke freely about the "world" of Xia, the "world" of Shang, the "world" of Zhou, and even the "world" of Qin and Han.

At that time, Li Shimin once sighed that the Turks were on the Sui text with the title of "Sage Khan", how could he be stunned!

So at this time, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was determined to raise the flag to the north, said to the ministers: "The Turkic disasters are still frequent, and the celestial phenomena are warnings."

Jieli didn't know what to fear, introspective, respected heaven and cultivated virtue, but he was still tyrannical, so that his flesh and blood attacked each other.

His defeat was in the mund.

Now I am intending to clear the desert for my Tang Dynasty, so why should I go to the north to build a barrier! ”

Since then, there has been no discussion of repairing the Great Wall in the Tang Dynasty.

The time sequence entered the third year of Zhenguan.

In February of this year, the emperor shot Fang Xuanling as the left servant of the Shangshu and Du Ruhui as the right servant of the Shangshu, and moved Li Yaoshi from the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to the Shangshu of the Military Department.

With Wei Zheng as the secretary and supervisor, he participated in the politics of the Yu Dynasty, plus Wang Qi guarded the middle school, Li Yaoshi inspected the school book order, and the ruling team of "Zhenguan Zhizhi" officially ascended the position.

In Li Shimin's mind, the prime minister's team actually has an obvious order, in order of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Yaoshi, Wang Qi, Wen Yanbo, Dai Yin, Wei Zheng, etc.

It's just that Wei Zheng's reputation in later generations is too prevalent, so that it is easy to ignore that there are still many virtuous ministers before him.

For example, Dai Yin, he and Wei Zheng also often make direct admonitions.

At this time, although Dai Bin had not yet participated in the politics of the Yu Dynasty, when he was previously appointed as the Shangshu Zuocheng on the Zheng Sipin, Wei Zheng was appointed as the Shangshu Youcheng under the Zheng Sipin.

Now Dai Bin has been promoted to the head of the household department of Zheng Sanpin, and Wei Zheng has been promoted to the secretary and supervisor of Cong Sanpin.

Wei Zheng's career was not overnight, he was also under the Zhenguan system, step by step.

However, there is a more important reason for the adjustment of the ruling team this time, just because Li Shimin must transfer Li Yaoshi to the secretary of the military department.

Although he was not good at marching and fighting, he had more than enough execution ability for military, political, logistical and other aspects of work.

At the same time as him, Pharmacist Li served as the secretary of the Criminal Department, responsible for arranging for intelligence personnel to leave the customs and infiltrate the Turkic system, all of which worked together with Du Ruhui.

At this time, the previous task had been completed, and next, Li Shimin was ready to invest military force and fight through the Turks.

In this work, in addition to preparing for war, it is even more necessary to continue to remotely control intelligence officers.

And in both aspects, Li Shimin only trusts Pharmacist Li.

Therefore, he had to raise Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were ranked before Pharmacist Li, to a level.

After this morning, the emperor left Pharmacist Li behind to discuss preparations for the Turkic war again.

After the end of the sentence, Pharmacist Li bowed down and said, "The minister has another matter, and I want to ask for a favor." ”
