Let’s say that Shengtang Group only spent half a month.
All weapons will be produced.
It's said to be production, but it actually means moving the inventory from the base in Jiangzhou to Chang'an.
So it was just handed over to Li Shimin's court.
Citizen Li seemed particularly happy after receiving these weapons.
He also ordered generals such as Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.
Let them train soldiers with these weapons.
Teach them how to use it.
Learn to organize troops and formations.
And things like knives and guns began to be gradually eliminated.
After all, we are now heading towards hot weapons.
The effectiveness of these cold weapons is very low.
Just keep some daggers and the like.
The smart generals of the Tang Dynasty also learned to shoot rifles.
All of them learned how to shoot.
Basically, you can hit it with hundred hits within thirty meters.
Because they also deeply feel that if they don't learn these skills.
Then you might be eliminated.
Shooting is a basic skill of the Tang army. As generals, if they don't know these.
What about leading troops to fight?
The Tang army's acceptance of these weapons was also very high.
Because there were only 100,000 rifles in the early stage.
The Tang Dynasty had millions of troops.
Less than one in ten people owns a weapon.
Who will use this batch of weapons first?
Li Shimin had already had an idea.
He prioritized equipping these weapons and equipment to his loyal troops.
These people are the same people who accompanied him on his previous expedition to Baekje.
Another month passed.
Regarding weapons training.
Many generals also gave satisfactory answers.
Li Shimin asked as soon as he came in the morning.
"How is your training going? Have you improved on your tactics?"
The weapons are different, and the tactics will also be different.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin stood up and said.
"Your Majesty! We have practiced dozens of tactics tactically. As for the attack, we first use artillery in the rear as large force support. After breaking the enemy's city wall, we use infantry with rifles to enter the enemy's city wall.
middle.
Take the enemy general's head directly!
For some guerrilla warfare, our soldiers will use grenades.
After our practice, the winning rate of this system is very high.
In the past, it might take half a month to capture a city. But after using these weapons in conjunction with our tactics, we will definitely capture the opponent's city within a day!"
Yuchi Jingde then said: "What General Cheng said is correct. Our Tang army is now very powerful! However, the supply of ammunition does not seem to be enough! Because of the large amount of training, a tenth of the ammunition was consumed.
"
Li Shimin heard this.
Then he asked: "How much more are there for these weapons and ammunition?"
Because the amount of training this time was huge, there was not much ammunition left.
Therefore, Yuchi Jingde said: "There is only one-tenth of the original amount. Please purchase ammunition again at ten times the amount. And put the ammunition into the weapons depot in case of emergency."
"This matter will be handled by Dai Zhou."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Dai Zhou came out and said.
Cheng Yaojin stood up again at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the news that we have these powerful weapons has spread. Now many countries are waiting and watching. We are only one victory away from becoming famous all over the world!"
Li Shimin asked him to spread the news about these weapons.
Because Li Shimin wanted to create a phenomenon where Datang became more powerful.
He also got the results he wanted.
However, many countries are still waiting and watching.
After all, I have never seen any of these things.
Who knows if Datang is lying to them.
Therefore, Cheng Yaojin said that they lacked a victory.
That was the victory of the Tang Dynasty army over a country.
As long as there is this victory, then why worry about who doesn't know?
But who to start with?
For now, the Tang Dynasty is too strong, and no one dares to harm the Tang Dynasty.
Unless Goguryeo is a thorn in the side.
Therefore, Li Shimin focused his attention on Goguryeo.
He said: "How is Gao Zang doing now?"
In the 16th year of Zhenguan, Goguryeo Moli Zhiquan Gaisuwen (equivalent to the position of prime minister) launched a coup, killed King Rongliu Gao Jianwu, took control of the government and the public, and appointed Gao Zang, the son of King Dayang, the younger brother of King Rongliu, as his successor.
king.
After controlling the situation, Quangaisuwen once wanted to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and had previously united with Baekje to destroy Silla and attempted to annex Baekje and Silla.
Later, because of Li Min's relationship, Silla was taken over and became New Tang Dynasty, and Baekje was owned by New Tang Dynasty.
Goguryeo is very disobedient now.
When he asked this question, everyone understood what he wanted to say.
That is, I want to know if Gao Zang has been messing around recently.
Did it have any impact on Baekje?
Did it have any impact on the border of Datang?
In this regard, Yuchi Jingde said: "Your Majesty's soldiers from Gaozang occasionally come to invade our borders, but they are just small troubles."
"A small fight? There is no such thing as a small fight at the border. Go and give Gao Zang a letter and ask him to lead his troops to withdraw fifty miles from the border. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Shimin had long wanted to take Goguryeo.
But this guy has never made people worry.
Yuchi Jingde took over.
"yes!"
In fact, everyone knows that Li Shimin is going to take advantage of Gao Zang.
If we ask him to withdraw fifty miles from the border, doesn't that mean we have to withdraw the border fifty miles?
No one would be willing to change it.
But there must be a reason why Li Shimin dared to do this.
For a long time, Goguryeo people often invaded the border of Datang.
Datang didn't take him seriously before.
Now that Li Shimin is paying more attention to it, it is the time for Goguryeo to die.
"Also, Cheng Zhijie!"
"I'm here!"
"Be prepared to march the army to the northeast, and notify New Tang Dynasty to prepare for war! My victory will start from Goguryeo!"
"Yes!" Cheng Yaojin took the order.
Li Shimin has a goal.
Then what awaits Goguryeo may be destruction.
Next, what Li Shimin wanted to do was probably to merge New Goguryeo with New Tang Dynasty.
Let New Tang Dynasty manage Goguryeo.
In this way, the Northeast is finally stable!
Li Shimin's decision was supported by many ministers.
Why?
Because they have been influenced by Goguryeo all year round.
Especially Yuchi Jingde, who failed to win the last battle with Goguryeo.
It makes the other party even more arrogant.
This time, Li Shimin must let the other party know what despair means.
What does it mean that the Tang army is invincible?
"Okay, I've worked hard for you these past few days, please step aside!" Li Shimin finally said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As a result, all the officials withdrew from Tai Chi Palace.
In the following period of time, the King of Goguryeo still did not listen to Li Shimin's words.
Li Shimin was so angry that he directly pushed the army to the border.
