Chapter 863: [Artillery Corps]

...

"The effect of this shock has arrived, and Goguryeo will withdraw troops early."

"So, Yuchi Gong will be back in about two months."

"However, after Goguryeo has gunpowder, I don't know what to do, and I don't know what kind of weapons to transform after watching our exercise. So Goguryeo cannot stay!" When he said this, Lao Li gritted his teeth and shot a chill in his eyes, which reduced the temperature in the carriage box by ten degrees.

Li Xiaogong and Cheng Laohuo nodded and agreed with this matter. Everyone has this awareness.

Old Li paused for a moment and said, "When we don't know the enemy's situation, we should be prepared to make weapons that can suppress the enemy. The gunpowder displayed this time has satisfyed me. We should consider using such weapons in the army!"

Old Man Cheng nodded, but Li Xiaogong remained silent.

The difference in their attitudes lies in their relationship with Lao Li.

With these artillery, the combat power and destructive power become stronger. But can all the troops have it? Every prince has a fiefdom and an army. Those who often rebel are the princes who are idle. Isn’t it more serious to increase combat power to these princes who will rebel?

Li Xiaogong is a figure who is like a king who is standing side by side. Although he is now taking the initiative to give up power, he has been led by Li Chengqian to become the chief of the Academy of Spy and has extraordinary power in his later years. Not to mention this, his prestige is still quite high in the royal family, in the army, among all officials. Compared with half of this country, he has won it. So he has to avoid suspicion.

"Xiao Gong. Why don't you speak?" Old Li saw that Li Xiao Gong was easy to bully, so he avoided suspicion. Instead, he came to ask him.

Li Xiaogong held his fists and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I believe that the current production capacity of the Gunpowder Bureau is not too high, so I should deploy artillery, not too wide, too early. I suggest that when using it, use it again. Where is the need to fight? Then send the artillery to the soldiers who are going to fight, and then take it back after the battle."

The key point of this method is that the army cannot have artillery, and only when it needs to be used will someone send it. Who will send it? Of course, Lao Li has the final say. So Lao Li has the final say. Should he take it back or come back to the management of Lao Li? Therefore, the artillery is directly under the management of the emperor Lao Li. All the power is concentrated on Lao Li.

When Mr. Cheng saw that Li Xiaogong had not nodded, he understood.

Hearing his words, he understood what he meant even more.

So, in order to make up for the mistake, he concreted Li Xiaogong's words: "It's a good idea. An army can be established in Chang'an. It specializes in using artillery. When war is needed, His Majesty will approve it. How many people will be brought? How many artillery will be brought? After the war, the artillery army will return to Chang'an. The remaining artillery will bring back as many artillery as the remaining artillery!"

In this way, it is stipulated that this cannon is not placed in the hands of ordinary troops during wartime. Instead, it is controlled by the Chang'an army, and people and cannons will go together. After the shooting, people and cannons will come back. During this process, ordinary soldiers who are fighting on the front line may not even be able to touch the cannons.

In this way, the control of artillery has become more stringent.

Old Li quickly understood the truth here, so he nodded with relief:

"Okay, after you go back, plan carefully and implement it as soon as possible!"

This requires planning to establish an artillery army, and the premise is of course that the Gunpowder Bureau has to carry out production business from the research business. This task falls on Li Chengqian and Cheng Laohuo.

Alas, I just wanted to play a cannon, but so many things happened.

In this luxurious carriage, an emperor, a prince, a prince, and a super big hand held a complicated meeting.

First, he commended the meritorious ministers, then made a century-long plan, then planned to destroy the powerful enemy Goguryeo, and then military construction. These things were said simply and roughly, but when they were passed to the court, all the ministers and the grassroots were busy for several years.

The guard of honor returned to the palace and began the palace banquet.

In addition to eating, there are other things to do in this palace banquet.

After the drama, it also needs a little aftertaste of climax, so that people can reminisce.

Therefore, as the organizers of this exercise, Li Chengqian and Cheng Laohuo did the exercise so well, of course they would have to be rewarded and praised.

Before the palace banquet began, Old Li issued an imperial edict, rewarding Li Chengqian with a large amount of gold and silver, and at that time he also rewarded Furong Garden to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard this reward.

He doesn't see money anymore. He regards money as dirt? Just like him.

Well, he is a hand-off manager. Usually, he only sees a number on the account book when he sees money, and he rarely comes into contact with how much money he does.

What shocked him was Furong Garden.

He went to this place last time at the Agricultural College. It was really big for his father, located in the southeast corner of Chang'an City. The four ordinary squares in Chang'an are smaller than there. There is a big lake in Furong Garden, and there are several palaces built by the lake. There are so few palaces, it should be to maintain the view of Furong Lake. Such a large and beautiful place actually gave Li Chengqian, which was a huge surprise.

Can good things be pushed out? No. So Li Chengqian accepted it with a smile.

Li Tai, a fat man at the banquet, looked at Li Chengqian with some jealousy. As the eldest brother, Li Chengqian must look like a eldest brother, and walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Brother, come to the eldest brother's Furong Garden when you have time to play!

In history, the prince lost power, and King Li Tai of Wei competed for favor, and was favored by Li Shimin. Furong Garden was also given to Li Tai by Li Shimin. Furong Garden was a palace in the Sui Dynasty. Its residence was thirty hectares and 17 miles of circumference. Li Tai built a dike on Furong Lake and became the famous Furong Dike. Many poets recited poems and essays here, leaving a lot of reputation in history.

The history-blind Li Chengqian did not know this history. If he knew it, he would be happy. Li Tai did not know that Furongyuan belonged to him. If he knew it, he would be angry to death.

After the banquet, Li Chengqian went to Xichiyuan with good news.

But when I arrived at Xichi Courtyard, I found that there was no one. I heard from the left-behind palace maids that they all went to Xiande Hall.

Xiande Hall is the administrative hall of the East Palace. The East Palace handles political affairs and major events are there, which is equivalent to the Tai Chi Hall in the morning court in Tai Chi Palace.

What are you doing there? Li Chengqian was surprised, and even the big belly went there. Is this a rebellion? Or is there something big happening?
