In fact, Li Shimin was also persuaded by Li Chengqian.
Otherwise, he would not have said that when the war is about to end, student soldiers will be allowed to go into battle again.
And this can be regarded as the biggest concession that Li Shimin can make.
But will Li Chengqian be satisfied?
of course not.
What he wants is for everyone to be on the field, from beginning to end, no less.
"Father."
"If you arrange it this way, aren't you afraid that others will disapprove?"
Li Chengqian said directly: "Don't forget, they will go to the grassroots everywhere in the future."
"Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will not obey these airborne officers who have no merit?"
The military is no better than anywhere else.
There, the weak eat the strong.
Wherever the capable are superior, the mediocre are inferior.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the Liangzhou Army.
If it weren't for Li Chengqian who repeatedly led them to advance triumphantly, they would always be victorious and undefeated.
Even if he is a prince, he cannot make these fierce soldiers surrender.
Although the other armies are not as fierce as the Liangzhou Army, they are not much different.
If you don't have your own abilities and your own honor, you will definitely be squeezed out by the soldiers.
"And Father."
"Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about now."
"This time Baekje openly betrayed his father's will and insisted on provoking a dispute."
"Don't you want to teach them a lesson?"
"Father, don't you want the world to see your royal power?"
Li Chengqian also knew what Li Shimin liked to hear, so he simply brought the topic to this aspect.
He just said: "I want to promote the imperial power, but I can't let these new recruits, many of whom have never been on the battlefield, take risks, right?"
"But they are not new recruits."
Li Chengqian said directly: "They are all our future generals and officers in the Tang Dynasty."
"Father, you must know that the weapons of the Tang Dynasty have been updated."
"But now they are the only ones in the army who can skillfully control and use these weapons." "Although they only have three thousand people, they are enough to equal tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ordinary troops."
"So Father, please don't hesitate and let them go..."
Hearing this, Li Shimin just pursed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "Okay, if my father still doesn't agree, then I have no choice but to say goodbye to my father."
Hearing this, Li Shimin also looked at Li Chengqian with some doubts.
He was also a little curious about what this guy wanted to say to him.
Li Chengqian did not hesitate and said directly: "Since the father always talks about the power of the emperor to his sons."
"Then today I might as well talk to my father about the imperial power in my heart."
Li Chengqian raised his head and said: "The word "imperial power" is an understatement.
"But it needs to be maintained with absolute strength."
"If the national strength is not enough, talking about the imperial power is a joke."
"And what is the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the imperial prestige of my father?"
"It's my Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan Cannon that can shoot two thousand steps."
"They are the hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf soldiers from our Tang Dynasty."
"It is the musket in my hand, the artillery around me, and it is the countless wealth of my Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian became more and more passionate as he talked, and even Li Shimin couldn't help but be infected by it.
His eyes never left his stupid son.
At this moment, Li Chengqian also said: "The battle between Baekje and Silla seems insignificant on the surface and has nothing to do with the imperial power."
"But Father, have you forgotten?"
"Before, you just held a conference of all nations."
"In such a prosperous time, more than two hundred foreign countries came to participate in the conference."
"And if he, Baekje, stirs up trouble at this time, how can the world's eyes not be focused on him?"
Li Chengqian said: "In a word, if this battle, our Tang Dynasty's performance is mediocre.
busy."
"Will there be anyone who will obey me, Datang, in the future?"
"Is there anyone who will surrender to my father's imperial power?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin also fell into deep thought.
Indeed, what Li Chengqian said makes sense.
The current situation is basically the same.
But he did not directly argue, and continued to look up at Li Chengqian, waiting for him to continue.
Li Chengqian continued: "On the other hand, if the Tang Dynasty is amazing enough in this battle, I can guarantee that no one will dare to set their sights on the land of the Tang Dynasty in the next few decades."
"The so-called imperial power is only based on the edge of the sword."
"The so-called national prestige is only within the range of the cannon."
"If a dog disobeys, he will be kicked several times."
"If a child disobeys, he will be spanked."
"If a foreign country doesn't obey, we should use cannons to tell it who is the master."
Li Chengqian looked straight at Li Shimin and said, "If my father is still not at ease, I am willing to lead the team in person."
After saying this, Li Chengqian also took two steps back, knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and lowered his head and said, "I hope my father will give me permission."
Seeing him like this, Li Shimin also shook his head and sighed softly.
He stepped forward and pulled Li Chengqian up.
"Okay, you're not young anymore, so stop kneeling back and forth."
"If outsiders see you, they will laugh at you and the royal family."
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said: "No big deal, I promise you..."
Obviously, Li Chengqian's words finally convinced Li Shimin.
At this moment, Li Chengqian's face also showed a smile unconsciously.
"but."
But just when Li Chengqian was about to say something, Li Shimin suddenly spoke.
"After all, I don't feel comfortable letting them go alone."
"So, go and mobilize the Liangzhou Army..."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "Can you Don’t fool me by saying that the reform has not been completed.”
"I know that the Liangzhou Army has now completed more than half of its reforms, and most of its members are veterans of hundreds of battles."
"Let them go, I can feel more at ease..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly lit up.
When I really wanted to sleep, someone handed me a pillow, which came just in time.
Originally, he was thinking about how to get Li Shimin to send navy troops.
Didn’t this opportunity just come?
At that moment, he also pretended to be bitter and said: "Father, are you afraid that you don't know the topography of Baekje?"
"In that place, apart from mountains, there are ravines, rivers and lakes."
"If you let the Liangzhou army go, wouldn't that be just throwing the river fish into the sea..."
After hearing this, Li Shimin fell silent.
Indeed, the Liangzhou Army is more suitable for fighting on flat ground.
If they go to a place with many rivers, lakes and mountains, it is simply not within their area of expertise.
Without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, Li Chengqian continued: "Besides, in addition to the Liangzhou Army, our Tang Dynasty still has an army that can be mobilized, and they are far more suitable than the Liangzhou Army."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glanced at Li Chengqian.
"Is there anyone more suitable than the Liangzhou Army?"
"Of course."
Li Chengqian said with an exaggerated smile on his face: "Don't forget, when we were reforming our military, in addition to your five forbidden troops, there was also the navy of the Tang Dynasty that remained untouched."
"And there are many rivers in Baekje."
"Even the Baekjiang River can reach Sixie, the capital of Baekje."
"What's more, the designated commander of the Wuhan Academy this time is Li Chongyi."
Li Chengqian looked directly at Li Shimin and said with a smile on his face: "You know his abilities. There is absolutely no problem in letting him command the navy..."
"When commanding the navy, with the navy as the main force and the officers and soldiers of the Military Research Institute as the supplement, we will definitely be able to achieve the expected results."
