Chapter 26 Luo Shixin was assassinated (second update)

Population is strength, but industrial society and agricultural society are two different concepts. In the agricultural society, almost ten households support one soldier, but in the industrial society, almost four adults can support one soldier.

Of course, this data is not very accurate, everything is an exception. Taking World War II as an example, Germany's population was about 60 million, but it mobilized 17 million troops (cumulative) and combat 9.5 million troops, while the Soviet Union was even more powerful. The Soviet Union had a population of 160 million, with a cumulative mobilization of 50 million troops and a combat 23 million troops.

However, such a situation naturally did not exist in the agricultural society era. In ancient China, there were only about one million troops at most during the period of military power, which was equivalent to one-thirty of the total population.

However, Lingzhou is an exception. Lingzhou is not large and has a small population, but the population engaged in primary industry exceeds the agricultural population. Just based on the seventeen large and small workshops under Li Daozhen's name, there are more than 70,000 workers. These are all young and strong laborers. When militarized management is usually adopted, once the form is needed, it can be turned into a militarized soldier in a very short time.

Although Lingzhou has a permanent military force of less than 5,000 people, once the Turks really use Lingzhou as a breakthrough, they will definitely be bleeding. Since Li Daozhen started preparing for the war in the spring of the third year of Wude, she has stored more than one million stones of grain in various private warehouses in Lingzhou, which is enough for Lingzhou's 300,000 people to eat for nearly nine months. If they save food and eat two meals a day, they can last at least one year or even longer.

As for other weapons and equipment, Li Daozhen's private warehouse is even richer than the weapon surveillance of the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the arrows of crossbows are as an example. The daily inventory is more than one million. Once it is started to produce it with full strength, about 30,000 crossbow arrows, arrows, and fine steel armor can be manufactured within one day. There are about 2,500 sets of sets, more than 35,000 horizontal swords, and more than 35,000 spears and crossbows, Li Daozhen is fully capable of arming 70,000 to 100,000 people within three months.

Although Chen Ying did not take it seriously, he did not take it seriously. He did not have any psychological burden to deal with the Turks, and he could do everything he could do.

When Chen Ying received the news that Aosh was launched in Dingxiang and finally disappeared, it was half a month later, and the sun was scorching. Chen Yingzheng and Li Xiuning were playing the trick of saltpeter chemistry that could turn ice.

When he saw this news, Chen Ying patted his forehead and suddenly realized. He was very regretful and actually forgot this and wasted a good opportunity to weaken the Turks.

If Chen Ying could recall this in advance, he would send someone to contact AoShiShi, and send Beiwei Army or the Tiger Yi to support AoShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiS

However, Chen Ying didn't care too much. What Chen Ying cared most was that Li Shimin was actually going to visit the Duke of Liang's Mansion. Although Li Shimin is no longer an outsider now, Chen Ying still attached great importance to the banquet.

However, when it was time to hold the lights, Li Shimin had not arrived yet, and King Li Yuanji of Qi had already arrived.

"Three brother-in-law, Sanhu comes uninvited, please forgive me!" Li Yuanji walked into Chen Ying's mansion with a big thorn, and said to Chen Ying and Li Xiuning with a smile.

In just one moment, Chen Ying turned his head away.

Li Shimin asked Chen Ying to be a guest, but he only received two hours. Although he was going to prepare a banquet, it was just a private banquet, with more food. Besides, except for Ma Sanbao and Li Xiuning, no one knew that Li Shimin was coming. No one had ever gone out of the Chen Mansion. Obviously, the news that Li Yuanji received should not have been spread from Chen Ying Mansion. Then there was only one possibility, there must be Li Yuanji's detailed work in Li Shimin's mansion.

Li Yuanji was ordered by Li Jiancheng to see what Li Shimin and Chen Ying said? Or was he worried that Li Shimin would win over him?

For only a moment, Chen Ying didn't figure it out. However, in order to avoid the cold situation, Chen Ying still smiled and said, "Your Highness, King Qi, are you polite, how can you bother? But you are here today and you have a good time. Today we eat crystal elbows and fishing sheep in a pot..."

"I have heard that the chef in my brother-in-law's house has good skills!" Li Yuanji smiled very readily, but his eyes were a little erratic, as if he was looking for something.

Chen Ying was even more sure that Li Yuanji must have some purpose.

However, because of Li Xiuning, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin did not intend to participate in the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, because no matter who he supports or hurts, the person he is the saddest.

Chen Ying knew that in history, next year, Li Xiuning would die, which is the fourth year of Wude.

Chen Ying would never let this tragedy happen, because Li Xiuning died while resisting the Turks because she was stationed in Niangzi Pass. Chen Ying would never let this tragedy happen. If there was a chance, Chen Ying would definitely seek foreign countries.

The banquet at Chen Mansion is a banquet, and there is absolutely no singing or dancing to entertain, because whether it is Li Xiuning or Chen Ying, they have never raised musicians, dancers, or singers.

Li Xiuning and Li Yuanji got along for a while, and Li Shimin arrived.

When Li Shimin saw Li Yuanji present, he looked at Chen Ying in surprise and smiled and said, "Third brother-in-law, you are too... that one, right?"

Chen Ying shrugged and sighed helplessly: "Do you believe it? This is a coincidence!"

"Second brother is here, second brother is here just right," Li Yuanji's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said with a slight smile: "My third sister just now said to you!"

"Oh... is that right?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "What did the third sister say to me?"

Li Yuanji said: "My third sister said I am not as steady as my second brother, so I asked me to learn from my second brother how to behave in a good manner!"

"It's just a pity"! Li Shimin smiled unanimously.

Li Xiuning frowned and said, "What a pity?"

Li Shimin said: "It's a pity that I'm about to leave Liangzhou. I have already asked my father for the imperial edict. The imperial edict has passed the Secretariat. I think it's only been the case in these three or five days. By then, it's probably not easy for us brothers to meet!"

Chen Ying saw clearly that Li Yuanji was not surprised when he heard this. Li Yuanji had already known this news. It seemed that he was still too far from the core of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Ying was a little puzzled. As an adult vassal king, once he was released from the capital, he would leave the vassal for a long time, and the people and forces he managed would be free. It would be difficult for Li Shimin to leave easily, but it would be difficult to come back. At that time, Li Jiancheng would not easily let Qin King Li Shimin come back.

Did Li Shimin admit defeat so easily?

Is this still the Tiankhan Li Shimin in history?

Li Xiuning said unhappily: "What's going on with Dad? It's not that there is no one available in the Tang Dynasty. How can I let my son go to Liangzhou? Cheng Qian's nephew is so young?"

"Don't blame the third sister, this is still what I ask for." Li Shimin also saw that Li Yuan was using him to balance Li Jiancheng. The more this happened, the less Li Shimin could fight for greater power. The only way was to pretend to release him accidentally. Except for his other princes, they could not balance Li Jiancheng without opening a government office.

Li Yuan did not lack the generals who guarded Liangzhou, but he lacked the people who could check and balance Li Jiancheng in the court.

Chen Ying accompanied Li Shimin and Li Yuanji for dinner. The two brothers were already hiding needles in the cotton. After finally finishing the meal, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji said goodbye one after another.

Without Li Xiuning's instructions, Chen Ying consciously went to take a shower first.

When Chen Ying finished taking a shower, she found that the lights were still on in the study. Chen Ying tiptoed to the study and found that it was Li Xiuning holding a single-point newspaper and was spinning back and forth in the study. Her steps were fast and fast, and she was very fierce when she turned around, which always made people worry that she would fall.

Chen Ying walked into the study, hugged Li Xiuning from behind, and murmured, "What's going on?"

Although Chen Ying had a free position, he was one of the third-rank Guanglu Temple Ministers, one of the five supervisors of the Three Provinces, Six Ministry of the Tang Dynasty. Chen Ying had little real power, but his level was not low. He would record a copy of the mansions published by the court to let Chen Ying know.

Li Xiuning Yang Yang reported the mansion: "My father wants to kill Ling Jing, saying that Ling Li is connected to the enemy country, and his crime should be executed."

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "You and I can't control this kind of thing, but do you believe it?"

Before Li Xiuning could speak, a figure rushed over quickly.

Guo Luo walked to Chen Ying and whispered softly in Chen Ying's ear. Chen Ying's face changed drastically when he heard this. Chen Ying hurriedly said, "If something happens, I'll go and come!"

"I am not sleepy either. If Chen Lang is inconvenient, I will go back and rest naturally."

"Then let's go and have a look!"

Guo Luo led the way in front and walked towards the front yard. When he walked to the front yard, Chen Ying found a group of soldiers wearing armor, including about a dozen, four of them carrying a door panel, and a bloody man with disheveled hair was lying on the door panel.

Chen Ying snatched a lantern from his servant's hand, and when he approached, he saw that the person with disheveled hair was nothing but Luo Shixin.

"What's going on?" Chen Ying exuded a strong evil spirit, and he directed several soldiers to carry Luo Shixin into the inner room, and then he asked someone to come through Chen Huairen.

Yi Cong responded and hurried away. Chen Ying strided heavily in the front yard and placed Luo Shixin, who was unconscious, flat on the bed, and carefully checked.

Luo Shixin's injury was very serious. The fatal injury appeared on the chest. He was hit by an iron arrow, which penetrated very deeply. The wound had a black wood color and a faint fishy smell. I think what poison was this.

Chen Ying walked out the door and looked at more than a dozen Jiashi and said, "What's wrong with Luo Shixin's injury?"

A soldier scratched his head and looked at Chen Ying timidly, "I know who did it. Today we went back to the city. When we walked to Duanyang Gate, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out of the alley. General Luo was unprepared and was shot four arrows. General Luo's war horse was killed immediately."
