Although the Hundred Horsemen Division is called the Hundred Horsemen, the number of people is actually more than 800 people.

These people are the Xuanjia army that followed Li Shimin to fight the world, which terrified the enemy.

The total number of Xuanjia troops is one thousand,

Originally, it was a heavy cavalry, so the physical fitness of each soldier was very good.

Coupled with the killing skills they had cultivated over the years on the battlefield, the individual abilities of these people were much higher than those of the Sixteen Guards.

It's just that now their age is generally close to forty.

As a result, it has become difficult to continue to wear heavy armor for combat and training.

At the same time, because of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, a series of internal and external wars were fought quite smoothly.

Therefore, the Xuanjia Army, which is small in scale but extremely expensive in military spending, has no need to continue to exist.

After deciding to disband the Xuanjia Army, Li Shimin selected more than 100 people from them as his personal guards.

Then, in order to take care of the remaining old brothers, they racked their brains and came up with the idea of setting up a hundred cavalry divisions to supervise the hundred officials.

However, although Li Shimin's idea is very good, there are no talents in intelligence gathering under his subordinates.

Therefore, since the establishment of the Hundred Riders, there has been no achievement.

On the evening of the second day, Li Zhi took Chai Long and Duan Shizi to the camp of the Hundred Cavalry Division.

After Zhai Changsun and the others met Li Zhi, they stood there quietly and waited for Li Zhi's follow-up arrangements.

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "You are all old brothers who followed the birth and death of this king's father.

This king will not doubt your loyalty to your father.

However, intelligence gathering relies on skill, so although you have been working diligently, it is difficult for you to achieve results.

Ben Wang's two teachers happen to be quite good at this.

Therefore, in the coming period, you will have to conduct specialized training under their leadership.

I hope you can cooperate with the two of you well in the future, and don't make it difficult for this king. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Zhai Changsun first saluted and said, "My subordinates are willing to obey His Highness's arrangement." ”

After Zhai Changsun spoke, the others immediately followed suit, expressing their willingness to obey Li Zhi's arrangement.

After seeing that everyone agreed, Li Zhi spoke again: "The courtyard here is small, and it is not suitable for your future training.

In a few days, the dragoons outside the city will leave for the frontier, and you will be temporarily transferred to the dragoon garrison. ”

After Li Zhi's words were finished, the soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry Division spoke again: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "In the future, this king will formulate a detailed training plan and prepare some new equipment for everyone."

The current organizational form of the Hundred Riders will also be changed, and I hope you will adapt as soon as possible. ”

The soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry Division replied in unison, "Honorable Order." ”

After Li Zhi saw that everyone agreed, he left Chai Long and the two here, and he returned to the palace.

In the future, Li Zhi is not ready to assign any tasks to the Hundred Cavalry Division.

During this time, he also asked Pei Mingli to cooperate with him to open some stores all over the country.

In the future, these shops will serve as liaison offices for the Hyakki, responsible for conveying Li Zhi's orders and passing on the information gathered.

If you want to form an intelligence network covering the whole country, it is completely insufficient to have this person in the current Hundred Cavalry Division.

Li Zhi also had to prepare a large amount of funds for the Hundred Cavalry Division, which was used to buy off some informants to make up for the shortage of the Hundred Cavalry Division.

Li Shimin's approach provided Li Zhi with a completely new way of thinking.

That is, when the personnel of the future Dragoon and Sailor are retired, they will also be included in the Hundred Cavalry Division.

In this way, Datang's intelligence network can be quickly formed.

A few days later, the dragoons finally received an order to transfer to Gaochang.

Li Zhi came to the dragoon camp the day before the departure of the dragoon army to see off Su Lie and others.

After three rounds of drinking, Su Lie opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi: "Your Highness, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the dragoon to return to the frontier in a short time.

His Royal Highness stayed in Chang'an, and I hope to take care of yourself. ”

Li Zhi said: "There is no need for everyone to worry about this king here.

However, when you get to Gaochang, the conditions will be much more difficult.

The king will try to arrange some caravans to carry some supplies to the army, but the main food and meat will need to be solved by yourself.

This king has asked Lord Zhang Ru of Sinong Temple to send several officials of Sinong Temple to accompany you and others.

At that time, the land left by the Western Regions Protectorate should be put to good use. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Su Lie said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your humble position." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "This is a matter within the king's responsibility, and General Su does not need to be thanked.

However, the internal contradictions of the Western Turks have been going on for quite a short time, and I am afraid that the winner will be decided soon.

At that time, once the Western Turks are controlled by the Desire Valley, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will clash with my Tang Dynasty.

After you arrive in Gaochang, you must first try to prolong the time of the internal war in the Western Turks.

If it is really impossible to do anything, be ready to go to war with the Western Turks at any time. ”

Su Lie nodded and said, "I will deal with it depending on the situation." ”

With the continuous replacement of new weapons, the combat power of the Tang army is now completely different.

Therefore, Datang's foreign strategy is no longer based on appeasement.

Once the neighboring countries take the initiative to provoke, Datang will directly launch a war of annihilation against them.

Slaves captured from all over the country would be sent to various parts of the South.

After a period of labor reform, these people will be given land to stay in the south.

In this way, Datang's development progress in the south will be accelerated.

The existing prefectures in the south will also gradually be brought under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.

The local clans and tribal leaders will either obediently accept the direct leadership of the imperial court, or they will be eliminated outright.

The smooth development of the Lingnan region had already brought a large amount of tax revenue to the imperial court.

At the same time, it also proves that today's restraint policy is no longer applicable to Datang.

After the Dragoons set out, the Hundred Cavalry Division quickly moved into the Dragoon camp.

Li Zhi not only equipped each of them with a set of equipment for the dragoons, but also asked the newly established Datang Academy of Sciences to organize people to develop listening equipment for them.

Ever since he became interested in sound waves, Li Zhi has compiled all the knowledge he knows about this area.

With this knowledge as a foundation, Li et al. can carry out extended research on acoustics, optics and electromagnetism.

Although Li Zhi is not very good at these aspects, he can help them point out the direction of development.

This includes telephones, radars, radios, televisions, and so on.

After years of continuous study, Li Su and others have basically emptied all the knowledge that Li Zhi has learned.

What Li Zhi can do now is to constantly assign research topics to students like a professor.

With the continuous study of various topics, these people will gradually improve Datang's scientific and technological system.
