Li Shimin looked at the meeting minutes after Li Tai's meeting, but couldn't help but press his head. It was really a headache!
He only commanded three thousand soldiers, but was prepared to prepare for 600 war horses and 5,000 pack horses. Even if there were medical battalions that needed pack horses to transport medicine, Li Tai's luxury was beyond Li Shimin's expectations.
Is this guy really going to fight, not on an outing?!
Coffee noodles have just been researched to replace wheat rice and rice. However, chicken cubes, sugar cubes and tea cakes should not be prepared for ordinary soldiers. After all, ordinary soldiers cannot bring them.
Have these.
But Li Tai didn't care. He used a pack horse to solve the problem if ordinary soldiers couldn't take him.
These pack horses do not need to be fed with fine feed like war horses, and they can even eat pack horses directly when they are so helpless.
As for the idea of calling the pack horse in Zhang Wansui's hand, it was a trivial matter because it was cultivated from Youzhou to supplement it.
Looking at what Li Tai proposed at the meeting, Li Shimin also looked serious, because he didn't know whether it was good or not, but the things Li Tai made were very novel, at least they were slightly worth trying.
"Junxian!" Li Shimin said to the Xuanjia Guard,
"Tell Zhang Wansui that if Qingque wants to ask him for a pack horse, he will agree to Qingque. If he wants to fight the horse, the number must not exceed one thousand.
By the way, Qingque has money, so you don’t have to save for him. Remember to let Qingque pay.”
"After the order!" Li Junxian agreed and immediately went to work.
Compared to war horses, it is a trivial matter. If it weren't for Li Tai's personal soldiers who came from Youzhou and had professional training, even if Li Tai was equipped with the entire directly under the army, Li Shimin wouldn't care.
After all, Qingque is the biological son of himself and Empress Changsun.
But unfortunately, except for Li Tai's personal soldiers, even the militia who formed the talent of the War Department, there were not many who could ride horses.
After all, cavalry and horse-riding infantry are two different concepts.
The training of cavalry is really not so easy to train, and national resources are not allowed to be wasted randomly.
Li Shimin will take care of Li Tai to a certain extent, but will never waste national resources for no reason.
Compared with the so-called pack horses and pre-war preparations, Li Tai arranged for people to start developing into Luoyang, which was the most surprising thing for Li Shimin.
Before the Grand Canal was dug, basically all the problems in China were problems of the east and west.
This is from the Qin Dynasty's battle against the world and unify the seven kingdoms, to the different foundations of the Eastern Han and Western Han Dynasty, and to the decision to even give up Guanxi to Guandong. In the Tang Dynasty, Guanlong nobles in Guandong, Guanxi's commoners and landlords and five families were seven.
The dispute over the surname even spread to the Anshi Rebellion, and basically the two forces were in a clash.
It was not until the collision between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom that the problem of China became the problem of the North and South.
Therefore, when Li Shimin saw Li Tai choose Luoyang to develop, he felt relieved but also had a headache.
Because Li Shimin understood that Li Tai's choice was to show that he did not want to fight for the throne.
Chang'an is the core of gathering the Guanlong family, and only by gaining the support of the Guanlong nobles can this emperor be firmly in his capacity.
Luoyang is born as the gathering point of the Kanto forces. If Li Tai chooses here, he will inevitably be abandoned by the Guanlong nobles in the future. However, at the same time, he will also become a support for the Kanto common people and an important force for the Guanlong nobles to confront them.
From Li Shimin's perspective, in order to balance the Guanlong nobles, the Guandong family really needs such a person to integrate the weak Guandong family and become a force to compete with the powerful Guanlong nobles.
Li Shimin didn't know if Li Tai saw this and chose Luoyang.
But it is undeniable that Li Tai has found the right position for himself in the future court. Even if Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne in the future, Li Tai will become a very good flag of the Guanlong nobles because of his dual identities as the royal family and the Guandong family.
"Qingque's thinking about the long-term work is even more reassuring. Now, as long as Cheng Qian completes the "Grass Plan" well, it will be great!"
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, with Li Tai, the son, he made him feel much more at ease no matter what he did.
And a month before the expedition to Tuyuhun, Li Tai began to get busy.
For example, if you want to go to Zhang Wansui to ask for horses, Zhang Wansui is easier to talk about. Except for the money being a little bit ruthless, everything else is easy to talk about.
For Li Tai, who was about to go to war, money is the least concerned about now.
For example, they urged Li Jing to deliver armor, and met the soldiers who were undergoing Ren Yaxiang's training, and even went to the agricultural institution.
I am busy, but a month is like flowing water.
Li Tai is still very concerned about these soldiers who debuted halfway through the road because they know them a little bit.
Li Tai has recited their basic information, and at most, when he recites it normally, he seems to be hard-working when he recites the textbook.
But this month, Li Tai will go to these soldiers to wander around from time to time, know each other, and make the information in his mind become concrete with the constant conversation, and no longer just cold names.
I didn't show off my own tricks, but asked these people to call me priests. After all, they really came out of the agricultural institution.
However, Li Tai's actions of visiting the military camp from time to time gave Ren Yaxiang a headache.
Because he didn't understand, Li Tai didn't participate in the training, so he just came over to chat with the soldiers every day. Why did these soldiers' gaze become a little hot when they looked at the King of Yan without realizing it, as if they were about to keep their hearts in mind
Dig it to the King of Yan as if it were.
I don’t know what magic power the King of Yan has. It is obviously a soldier trained by himself, but the King of Yan is even more influential.
However, as time goes by, Li Tai can already see his personal guards working very well with the soldiers of the palace, and the entire battle unit has been completely integrated with Ren Yaxiang.
"It seems that the training is going well!" Li Tai couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the entire army under the dispatch of Ren Yaxiang.
"It went very smoothly, but I really didn't make any contribution to it!" Ren Yaxiang said modestly when he heard Li Tai's words.
"Why should the general be too humble? Is it still a false idea to command a group of farmers who have never been to the battlefield in one month?" Li Tai looked at Ren Yaxiang's appearance and patted Ren Yaxiang's shoulder, saying, "It's too much."
Humility means pride!”
Ren Yaxiang heard Li Tai's praise, but he shook his head upright and said,
"There are multiple reasons here, because your personal guards and these soldiers have the same control talents, so it is much easier to get along with each other.
The second is the battle song of the musicians led by Lu Cai. With a unified rhythm, the organizational strength of these soldiers can be greatly improved, and for the new recruits, they can quickly enter the state.
However, the most important thing about all this is the group of recruits themselves!”
"What's wrong with them?" Li Tai asked Ren Yaxiang curiously when he heard Ren Yaxiang's words.
"To be honest, I have never seen such a high-quality recruit before." Ren Yaxiang said when he met Li Tai and Chen Ken.
"Either physical fitness or abide by military discipline, even if you understand the flag-language instructions, you are very good.
Normally, it will take at least one year to train a war-capable army, such as your personal guard.
But the soldiers from this group of agricultural institution were completely different. They understood many things just by just a little bit.
And it is not individual growth, but the entire army as a whole. No wonder they have the talent of the War Department if they don’t fight!"
When Li Tai heard this, he understood why Ren Yaxiang had such an evaluation.
In fact, it is very simple, because Li Tai originally chose a good family, and as a good family, there must be a few acres of land in the family, so there is no problem with having enough food in normal circumstances.
And when they arrive at the Agricultural Institution, they don’t have to say anything, but it is possible to give an egg every day in the end.
Moreover, the agricultural institution itself has fields and land, and most of the fruits and melons and fruits grown are produced and sold by themselves. In addition, the accidental meat consumption, this person has been in school for a few years, not to mention that he is in good health, even if he is not healthy,
It's also conditioned and healthy.
When they left the agricultural institution, those who were ambitious might go to other places or other industries, but most of the people who stayed and were willing to be farmers were honest and dedicated agricultural scientists.
As these people become members of the army, most of them have good tempers and habits. At least it is very easy for them to manage in the army.
As for their ability to comprehend, the various instructions in the army are naturally very vague if they are ordinary farmers, but they come from the agricultural institution and say how high the IQ is, it may not be, but they have experienced systematic learning.
Compared with this kind of learning, it is definitely a very different story for aristocratic families, but compared to being afraid of civilians or even good families, it is quite good.
At least they may not be very good at other projects, but in mathematics, as long as they come from agricultural institutions, they can basically understand a little bit, otherwise students from agricultural institutions will not be so popular.
However, the most important thing is their speed of acceptance of military orders, and they will even gather to discuss.
Why do we instinctively analyze the reasons why military orders are conveyed in this way? Even Ren Yaxiang is a little scared when he hears it.
But when really taking action, these people will remember the military orders firmly and will not cross the slightest.
Such behavior seems contradictory, but in fact Li Tai understands it quite well.
Because I started by cultivating them to question everything, because only by questioning everything can we continue to promote the development of science and technology.
But at the same time, similar militarized management will be carried out in the school, allowing them to accept and execute the commands.
There is no way. The Agricultural College aims to cultivate technical agricultural officials, but the farmers themselves are really hard. In addition, Li Tai's attempt to convert military to civilians, the style of the Agricultural College gradually becomes somewhat militarized.
Style of painting.
All this made the colleges of the Agricultural Institution not resist much order, which allowed them to integrate well into the army.
So, although Li Tai really strives to improve productivity, the people he cultivates have reached the level of talent, but they have definitely reached the level of hard talent.
They are good at farming, but also good at becoming soldiers. More importantly, they have collective consciousness. Therefore, after Lu Cai used war songs to help them sort out their collective will, a corresponding war could naturally be born.
The talent comes.
Of course, although Li Tai didn't know such a detailed thing, he thought about why the country said that high-quality talents were needed for military service, but he also understood that students from agricultural institutions were high-quality talents at least in this era.
These people are very good at farming, and it is naturally very good to become a soldier.
"It's good that they can adapt to the battlefield. But do you think they still have any supplies they lack? I'll prepare!"
Li Tai asked Ren Yaxiang again, afraid that there would be something inadequate in preparation.
Ren Yaxiang was a little amused when he listened to Li Tai's words.
The King of Yan is good at everything, but this kind of fear of insufficient supplies is a headache.
I have never fought such a wealthy war in my life. Basically, every soldier has a pack horse to take charge of their weapons and supplies, and even meat, sugar, and tea. These should not be given at all.
Food prepared by ordinary soldiers.
Think about how I had such a rich battle in the past!
But for Li Tai, such preparations were still not prepared enough, but Ren Yaxiang felt that the times had changed.
"Please rest assured that King Yan is enough." Ren Yaxiang sighed, "Otherwise, even a pack horse would not be able to carry so many things!"
"You think it's good enough!" Li Tai saw that Ren Yaxiang was satisfied, but stopped insisting, but said,
"Then I'll leave first. If you have anything to do, just tell me."
"Please rest assured that if you need it, you will definitely inform me in detail!" Shu Renya said to Li Tai.
Li Tai said goodbye to Ren Yaxiang and came to the Agricultural Academy, and began to recruit people, after all, he needed more abundant personnel.
In order to study the flames, Sun Simiao still brought many Taoist people over, and for Li Tai, he directly came to Yuan Tiangang.
"Secretary Yuan, please follow me!" Li Tai looked at Yuan Tiangang's extremely sincere request.
"I? Go to war?" Yuan Tiangang murmured at Li Tai who was pulling him to war.
"King of Yan, people cannot be too overdoing this! My guest master was thrown to Guangzhou by you, and I have not come back yet!
As a result, you are dragging me to the battlefield now. You can talk about it yourself. This matter is reasonable!"
"Cough cough!" Li Tai couldn't help but cough a few times when he heard Yuan Tiangang's words, and said:
"It is because of the guest master in Guangzhou that I can feel at ease. Now he has compiled a farming calendar suitable for the Guangzhou area, and it is destined to be famous in history. Master Yuan, don't you consider following me to fight Tuyuhun?
Can you keep your name in history!”
Yuan Tiangang didn't speak, but just looked at Li Tai with great scepticism, and finally sighed, "King Yan, I don't know how to fight, why do you have to!"
