Xuanwu Gate, as the key to the north gate of the imperial palace, has become the throat of life and death since the Taiji Palace was built. Therefore, those who guarded this gate have always been close confidants of the emperor to avoid the changes in Xuanwu Gate.
, the old story of Li Yuanji’s complete defeat.
In recent years, His Majesty Li Er has added left and right guards in addition to the palace guards to guard the Xuanwu Gate to restrain each other and ensure the safety of the Xuanwu Gate.
If the Zuo Tuen Guards under the command of Chai Lingwu can be defeated, and the "Hundred Cavalry Division" can do nothing under the attack and annihilation of the battle formation, then the Right Tun Guards can completely control the Xuanwu Gate in an instant, whether to advance or retreat, attack or defend, all the time.
In Fang Jun's thoughts.
The left and right guards were set up precisely to ensure the safety of Xuanwu Gate. Now Fang Jun actually regards the left guard as an imaginary enemy. Is it possible...
Gao Kan was sweating a little, swallowed his saliva, and said hesitantly: "This..."
He was thinking about how to ask Fang Jun about the purpose of this move, but he was afraid that he had misunderstood Fang Jun's meaning, so he hesitated for a moment and was speechless.
Fang Jun turned around, saw his expression, and said with a smile: "Why, are you afraid that someone will have a different intention and lead you on a road of no return that is unacceptable to heaven and earth?"
Gao Kan hurriedly said: "Of course not. The commander-in-chief is loyal to the country, to the Tang Dynasty, and to His Majesty. The general will never have such intention."
Fang Jun nodded and sighed softly: "How can someone who is deeply favored by the emperor do something like that of a rebellious minister? But you should also know that the battle for the throne is becoming more and more fierce now. As supporters of the prince, we,
Since you should do your best to support the prince to keep his position as crown prince, and in the future he will inherit the throne and take charge of the country, you have to take all possibilities into consideration. To put it bluntly, since your majesty was able to fight his way out of the Xuanwu Gate back then, he turned back and forth.
To seize Jiangshan Sheji, today we have to guard against a recurrence of this scene. We cannot have any trust in Zuotunwei. Chai Lingwu's position has been wavering. On the surface, he supports the prince, but secretly he flirts with the Guanlong nobles. What if in the future?
At a certain moment, we are launched brazenly, but we have no response at all. How can we maintain the trust of the prince? Therefore, from today on, we will put all our thoughts on Xuanwu Sect, and we must ensure that we can quickly attack Xuanwu Sect as a last resort.
Control the Xuanwu Gate, then rush to support the imperial palace to blockade the imperial city, and protect it from the sky!"
Gao Kan was shocked, and quickly knelt down on one knee, performing a military salute and saying: "Here! I will guarantee it with your head. No matter when, as long as the commander gives the order, we will seize the Xuanwu Gate immediately. There will be no mistakes!"
Seeing that Gao Kan understood what he meant, Fang Jun was very pleased. He patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Everything we have done is just to ensure the stability of the country under the most extreme circumstances and do the most important thing."
We have to make preparations, but we cannot hope that this will happen. But once this happens, we must put life and death aside and defend the empire with our flesh and blood. We must face difficulties and not be afraid of sacrifice. We must also remember that the vast sea
When the current flows across the river, you will show your true colors as a hero!"
Gao Kan's mood was agitated, his face flushed, and he said word by word: "Don't worry, Commander, the Xuanwu Sect will still be there when the general is here, and the Xuanwu Sect will still be there when the general dies!"
"Don't say these words out loud. To the outside world, you just claim to increase the intensity of training. Don't pay attention to any doubts. You have someone to take care of it. Your task is to train the soldiers. If you pull them out at the critical moment, you can beat ten with one, and you can attack everything! What control?
Wuwei, what are the left and right heroic guards, let them know that my right guard is the most powerful army in the world!"
"Here!"
Gao Kan was full of ambition and passionate.
As a soldier, his greatest ambition in his life is to open up new territories and protect the sky. He followed Fang Jun across Mobei and completely destroyed the tyrannical Xue Yantuo. He had already achieved his wish to open up new territories. If he still wanted to
Being able to hold up the sky and protect the world in the future, even if you die, you will have no regrets!
My own name can shine like those famous generals in the world, and a hundred generations later, my descendants will praise him. What an immortal feat this is?
Forget about being granted the title of wife and son-in-law, it is also expected that the name will go down in history...
Fang Jun walked back to the desk and sat down, asking Gao Kan to sit opposite him, and warned: "I will not be too involved in the specific planning of the training. It is up to you to decide. There is only one thing, firearms training must be strengthened.
The first step is the volley of muskets, and then the coordination of muskets and artillery. This will be an invincible tactic that can dominate the world. Don't shrink from it because of temporary difficulties, or even make choices, leading to stagnation."
The development of firearms tactics does not happen overnight.
In that time and space, gunpowder was first born on the land of China, but for a long time it was only spread in Taoist alchemy. It did not receive special attention, and it was not found to be useful in war. Later, although
Entering the army, it can only be used as an auxiliary. Rockets, firecrackers, etc. are better than nothing.
Later, muskets appeared, but due to the level of iron smelting, they failed to become the most important weapon in war.
As a result, the technology of gunpowder spread across the sea to the West, blossoming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall. Under the advanced Western natural science system, it burst out with enough energy to create the world. In one fell swoop, the originally inferior and primitive race like beasts was able to conquer the world.
The ability, strong ships and cannons to kill and plunder all over the world, accumulated a huge amount of wealth in just a few hundred years, and then promoted the process of natural science, allowing the inferior race of the weak and the fittest to conquer all civilizations.
Fang Jun didn't want to create guns and artillery hundreds of years in advance despite changing his destiny in this life, only to be abandoned like worn-out shoes in the end, until others pick them up and carry them forward, and in turn massacre his descendants.
But the reality is still not optimistic. Due to various limitations such as ideas and abilities, although firearms have spread to all armies of the Tang Dynasty, except for the Youtun Guards and Navy under Fang Jun, they have not become the real main force.
arms.
Before the advent of automatic reloading, the firing rate of firearms was indeed a flaw. Without complete and systematic training, it would be difficult to ensure that the maximum power was exerted in wartime. This led to the fact that although all generals recognized the power of firearms,
When fighting, firearms are often not the main force.
This requires a long period of exploration and accumulation. In a short period of time, it can only be solved after the first batch of officers from the academy's "Lecture Hall" graduate and enter various armies to popularize the theory of firearms.
Due to transportation and communication limitations, this will be a long process.
What Fang Jun needs to do is to always maintain the power of firearms in his army, let the outside world realize that firearms are irreplaceable, and recognize that firearms will be the main method of war, rather than just using them as a certain emperor.
As it was regarded as useless, instead of accelerating research and development and improvement, it was cut off and shelved, completely interrupting the development of firearms, resulting in unforgivable consequences.
"I will obey your orders!"
Gao Kan took the order seriously.
As a close confidant of Fang Jun, he also participated in the Battle of Mobei. He clearly understood the power of firearms and also understood Fang Jun's determination to vigorously develop firearms from beginning to end.
Fang Jun opened the pile of documents on the desk, and while reviewing and reviewing them, he took the trouble to explain some matters such as defense, vigilance, etc. Gao Kan must be alert and not relax at all.
Otherwise, after the Eastern Expedition next spring, once the situation in Chang'an changes, not only will it be difficult to respond quickly and effectively, but it will easily be defeated by others and the opportunity will be lost.
Gao Kan seemed rough and arrogant, but in fact he was cautious. He silently wrote down Fang Jun's instructions and instructions, then turned around and implemented them one by one without daring to neglect at all.
Suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps outside. Not long after, a soldier came in and reported: "To report to the commander-in-chief, there are servants coming from the palace, saying that there is an order from His Majesty."
Fang Jun quickly put down his official duties, stood up, straightened his clothes, and went to the door in person. He saw Wang De, the head chamberlain, walking quickly accompanied by two young eunuchs.
"It's freezing cold. The general manager can just send two little Huangmen to inform them. Why do I need to make this trip myself?"
"Haha, after being in the palace all day, my legs and feet are almost getting rusty. It's good to go out for a walk."
Wang De stepped forward with a smile and greeted each other. Fang Jun said: "Please come in, the manager."
Wang De hummed, turned around and said to his two followers: "Stay here, no outsiders are allowed to come near."
"Here!"
Two little eunuchs stood in front of the big tent door, one on the left and the other on the right, with their chests and belly raised, and they were meticulous.
