When Cheng Yaojin had these military-related books delivered to Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin held the books and kept looking at them.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
These books are really great.
It was so good that he didn't even care about words.
Moreover, he also discovered that there was actually something about exercises in this book.
When I discovered this, I couldn't help but pat my thigh.
And he shouted: "How come I haven't discovered this before! How can such a good book be covered in dust?"
After all, such a good book must be known to everyone.
If it had been known earlier and drills had been carried out in advance, perhaps the Western Turks would not suddenly attack the Tang Dynasty now.
Regarding this matter, Li Shimin's mood was complicated.
In the past, he mostly read economic-related books in the library, and very few military-related books.
Now there are finally some books for him to check, which makes Li Shimin very excited.
But we can't let him watch it alone.
He wanted to show it to other ministers, but there was only one set of these books. He wanted more books, so he thought of giving him a call.
Then he picked up his cell phone and dialed Wei Zheng's number.
At this time, Wei Zheng was still in the Shengtang Group. He was handling some affairs.
When he received a call from Li Shimin, he was shocked.
At this time, Li Shimin actually called, which made him a little flustered. After all, Li Shimin rarely called him on his own initiative. He took the initiative to find Li Shimin and provided some suggestions to Li Shimin.
Now the situation is directly opposite.
This made him still a little panicked, and Cheng Yaojin was also present at this time. He looked at Wei Zheng, held the phone and asked when he was not about to answer it.
"Who is calling? Hurry up and answer the call. Is it Mr.?"
In fact, he was very curious about who made the call, and hoped it was from Li Min, because if Li Min called, then he could go back early.
But Wei Zheng said: "No, it was your Majesty who called."
At this time, Cheng Yaojin was at a loss, "Why didn't His Majesty call me? Instead, he called you. What's his intention?"
Cheng Yaojin expressed his incomprehension about Li Shimin's behavior.
He obviously came here to talk about Wei Zheng, but now Li Shimin actually found Wei Zheng directly. This made him very unhappy.
But if you are unhappy, you will be unhappy.
He still said: "Just pick up the phone. Maybe His Majesty has something to ask you for?"
After Cheng Yaojin said this, Wei Zheng reluctantly picked up the phone.
"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
he asked doubtfully.
After Li Shimin paused on the other end of the phone for a moment, he said, "I have something I want to talk to you about!"
"Please tell me, Your Majesty."
"About these military books, how many military-related books do you have?"
"They are all in the library. The number may be around tens of thousands!"
"Is every book different?"
"Yes, it is!"
With tens of thousands of military-related books, Li Shimin took a breath of air at this time.
"So are these you gave me good or bad?"
"Your Majesty, these books are good and I usually read them. That's why I recommend them to you!"
Wei Zheng said so.
"Okay, I want to print some more of these books, 100 copies of each type! No, I want to print 200 copies. Is that okay?"
Li Shimin said this.
But Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, no!"
"Why?"
"why?"
"Each of these books is relatively unique. Moreover, these books are supplied to other libraries. If His Majesty wants them, it may take some time for us to print them again."
"Delay? How many days did you say it would take!"
"It will probably take about 7 to 8 days!"
"Seven days is too late."
Li Shimin said immediately.
Now the Turks are invading us.
After seven or eight days, it was too late.
He also wanted the generals to learn some of the military knowledge here.
Regardless of whether Cheng Yaojin received Li Min's support or not, these things are very important.
What is the use of these books? He now wants to put these books into the hands of officials and let them study hard. It will be of certain help to improve the combat effectiveness of the war.
So just now I wanted Wei Zheng to print more.
But Wei Zheng made it clear.
It takes seven or eight days to print 100 copies.
Li Shimin felt a little weird in his heart because it was too slow.
"Can it be faster?" Li Shimin asked again.
At this time Wei Zheng said no again.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, do you know how much manpower and material resources are needed to print a book? Printing a book is not as simple as you think, and this book can easily have hundreds of pages. If you want to do it well, it is not difficult.
, but it’s very time-consuming.”
After hearing what Wei Zheng said, Li Shimin said nothing more.
"Okay! I'll have people copy these books faster than you can print them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty is right!"
Wei Zheng said immediately.
"Okay! Let's do it then."
So Li Shimin immediately decided to let people copy these basic military-related books. However, there would always be some flaws in the copied things, but he couldn't control that much. He directly ordered the literate people in the palace to copy those military books.
book of.
At this time everyone was depressed.
This... this can still be like this.
It was miserable for everyone.
Don't bring anything like this.
Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Shimin hung up the phone.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin came over and asked, "What did your Majesty say?"
"We need more military intelligence books!" Wei Zheng said.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking. I thought it was a call from my husband just now, so I was happy in vain." Cheng Yaojin finally said.
He could hope that Li Min would call soon.
But that's not the case.
"Sir, it's not that fast yet, you have to wait a little longer," Wei Zheng said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, then I understand, I will wait here."
Then he turned around and sat on the chair.
When he just sat down, Wei Zheng's phone rang again.
Cheng Yaojin jumped up from his chair.
He ran over to look.
At this time, Wei Zheng had not looked at the phone.
But when Cheng Yaojin saw the phone number, he walked aside directly.
Because at this time Li Shimin called again.
He doesn't want to stay here anymore.
Li Shimin is so annoying.
"Your Majesty, I am Wei Zheng."
"Wei Zheng, have you contacted your husband?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.
This may be the first time Li Shimin has spoken about Li Min so proactively.
"Well, sir, it will take a while, maybe a stick of incense." Wei Zheng said quickly.
"Why? Where is he and why can't he answer the phone now?"
"Your Majesty, this is an agreement we made with your husband. We will find him at a fixed time every day. And he will postpone everything. If we call him now, we may not be able to find him."
What Wei Zheng said seems to be reasonable and reasonable.
"Okay, I understand. This needs to be done quickly. The army is ready now and is just waiting for your things." Li Shimin said.
He has never been so thirsty for weapons as he is today.
Because the Turks are very arrogant now.
He wanted to get rid of these people.
Let them know what hegemony is.
What does it mean to be powerful?
"I see."
"By the way, I still want to print those books, a thousand sets of each kind. This needs to be done quickly, the sooner the better, you know?"
"Yes, I understand!"
Now that Li Shimin's initiative is coming, can Wei Zheng still say no?
"Be quick, the faster the better!"
Li Shimin finally said that he really needed these books.
"Understood, Your Majesty."
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore, so that you won't dislike me for being verbose."
Li Shimin finally said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
No matter what Wei Zheng said, he always said yes.
Because there is no need to discuss it with him.
"By the way, okay, send it directly to the palace."
"What about the money?"
"I'll ask Dai Zhou to order it from you, and you can print it first!"
"yes!"
Finally, Li Shimin hung up the phone.
And it took about one stick of incense.
Cheng Yaojin came over.
"Okay? Can I call sir now?"
Cheng Yaojin asked.
"Okay, that's almost it."
Wei Zheng looked at the time and saw that it was almost time.
Then he dialed Li Min's phone number.
At this time, Li Min just got up.
As soon as he received Wei Zheng's call, he knew that Wei Zheng must have encountered a problem, otherwise, he would not have called him.
Then he asked: "Wei Zheng, what's wrong with you?"
"Sir, there is something I want to tell you!"
"You speak and I listen!"
"Sir, I won't disturb you, will I?"
"No, just say it."
"Today, news came from the imperial court about the Western Turks' attack on Tingzhou. The imperial court is now organizing troops to attack the Turks."
"Really? Those Turks are really a headache."
From the moment the dynasty was established to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the borders of the Tang Dynasty were always at war or on the verge of war. Especially the Turkic forces coveted the territory of the Tang Dynasty, coveting the fertile land and population.
Therefore, the Turks can be regarded as extremely ambitious and cannot be defeated no matter what.
The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks eventually broke down as they separated and combined. The Turks posed a great hidden danger to the stability of the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, in order to reduce wars, reduce the loss of troops, and deal with the remaining forces in various places
rebellion, Li Yuan adopted a soft policy toward the Turks.
And it was because of this that the Turks thought that the Tang Dynasty was easy to bully.
The Turks were very ambitious, and their desire for power would never be fulfilled. Therefore, there were frequent conflicts between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. The most serious incident was when hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops marched south to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, dealing a heavy blow to the Tang government.
.
At that time, when Li Shimin first came to power, he also signed the Weishui Alliance.
This time, Li Shimin must defeat the Turks, preferably until the country is destroyed.
"Who started it this time?"
"It's Ashina Horu!"
"He Lu is the fifth-generation grandson of the Dianmi Khan of the Western Turks. He is the son of the special Qin Jie Yue. This man has great ambitions!" Li Min said.
Wei Zheng was a little surprised by his words.
Unexpectedly, Li Min was so familiar with the border.
"Sir, next, the imperial court wants us to support their weapons, so what should we do?"
At this time Cheng Yaojin came over.
Got the phone.
"Sir, I am Zhijie. His Majesty wants more guns, grenades, and more advanced weapons. Can you give them to us?"
Cheng Yaojin had been waiting for a long time, and now he had the opportunity to explain his words.
"oh?"
"How about it, sir?"
"Put the phone on speaker and I'll talk to you."
Li Min said.
"Yes, sir!"
So, Cheng Yaojin set the speakerphone on the phone.
Then Li Min said: "How about it, can you all hear it?"
The two said yes.
"Okay, let me tell you my opinion. We still have more than 10,000 guns and 100,000 grenades. If the court wants them, we can sell them to them at the previous price!"
After hearing this, Wei Zheng directly said yes.
"Do you have any new weapons?" Cheng Yaojin asked again.
"Also, we have new weapons. There are two kinds. One of them, you have to let the emperor see if you need it. If you need it, let's talk about it. The other one is a sniper rifle!"
Cheng Yaojin asked: "What is this?"
"It is an artifact that can kill people five miles away. If you have it, you can kill the opponent's general and leave them leaderless. In this way, you can achieve the goal of victory. If they still don't surrender and defend the city,
, then another weapon must be used. But I was not very clear about this weapon on the phone. This must be seen by the emperor."
"Is that so? Is there really such a thing in this world?"
"Yes, let's see what the emperor means."
"What is the sniper rifle? Specifically!"
"It's a long gun that can shoot very far and very accurately. You can understand it that way."
"Is it really possible to kill the opponent's general from five miles away?"
"certainly."
"If this is the case, then the war can be resolved soon, which would be great." Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed.
He had to talk to Li Shimin about this.
"Yes, so you go back and talk to the emperor, but let me tell you in advance that my sniper rifle is very expensive. And there are only ten of them. You can discuss it after you think about it."
"I understand. Can we show the other thing to His Majesty at that time?" Cheng Yaojin asked again.
"Can!"
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin suddenly remembered the past.
"Is that something that was first shown by the gentleman before? Then he said it was still under study, but was not shown in the end?" Cheng Yaojin has a good memory.
Li Min smiled and said, "Yes, you have a good memory. This is it. Let's see if you are willing to have it. If not, we will not produce it."
Li Min said. In fact, he had produced a lot of them a long time ago. At that time, it was to prevent militarization from progressing too fast, so he never gave it to Li Shimin. In addition, he was in the Tang Dynasty at the time. If he took it out, Li Shimin would probably think too much about it. Now,
It doesn't matter that he is no longer in the Tang Dynasty. If Li Shimin really wanted to pursue him, he would have been no longer in the Tang Dynasty. It would be too difficult for Li Shimin to find him.
"Okay, I'll go into the palace now to find your majesty. I'll come back later." Cheng Yaojin left the tenement building and headed towards Tai Chi Palace without waiting for Li Min to speak.
