Li Shimin was a little skeptical about this matter, but seeing what Li Muyun said was true and clear-sighted, it also made him a little undecided. \ After a while, he shook his head and said, "Since you say so, then I'll let them try it when I go back."
However, the shelf you sent yesterday also has something to do with the gunpowder you said."
"Uh" Li Muyun squeaked: "That, that actually has nothing to do with gunpowder, it's really a small upgrade, it's not me saying, in fact, if we really want to do something to Goguryeo, now these equipment are really a level behind, whether it is transportation or combat effectiveness." ” Li Shimin's face darkened, Goguryeo was originally a big trouble in his heart, but now Li Muyun said this more like a slap in the face: "Then according to what you say, I must not be Gao Jianwu's opponent." ” "Brother Huang, you are an old fighter, and you know that I didn't mean that."
Li Muyun said.
Li Er was still a little unhappy: "Then what do you mean." ” Li Muyun said: "Brother Huang, fighting is not like two people fighting, it is about the right time and place, but there is an old saying, the time is not as good as the place, the place is not as good as the people, I saw the broken place of Goguryeo last time, we won't talk about the time, just say that the location is good, it is a big challenge for us." ” "The road in that broken place is narrow and complicated, you may just take the official road, the next moment it may become a rural road, the road just now is still smooth, and the next moment it may become potholes."
"This kind of place is a huge challenge for troops to march, and it may be fine if you just go it alone, but the time it takes to transport large ordnance into it will undoubtedly increase exponentially."
"Brother Huang, this is just the geographical advantage, if you add the weather time of half a year of summer and half a year of winter in Liaodong, this battle really has to be fought, and it is absolutely impossible not to prepare well."
Li Shimin's face was so gloomy that he could almost wring out the water, but he had to admit that Li Muyun was right, if the conditions in Goguryeo were really so poor, it would be equivalent to cutting off the advantage of his soldiers' speed, and as long as the speed of the army slowed down, Goguryeo could take advantage of the winter to relieve his breath.
Depressed for a long time, Li Er sighed: "Then what do you mean, could it be that I watched Gao Jianwu's little boy show off his power in Liaodong, and I couldn't beat him, but I had to support him."
"Brother Huang, the so-called good fighters, soldiers who surrender without a fight, fighting, killing and killing are things that only barbarians do, we are civilized people, how can we do such a nameless thing, brother, there are three strategies here, you might as well consider one or two."
"Say it, I'll see what you have to do."
Although Li Shimin doesn't think that Li Muyun's method can be reliable, it is always good to listen to more suggestions.
Li Muyun smiled, turned his head and yelled at the little eunuch who was waiting on the side: "Go make some tea, something that has no eyes, be fast, ask for good tea." ” Hey, this bastard, just gave him a good face, he pretended to be a calf Li Er glanced at Li Muyun with disdain, and waved his hand to the little eunuch helplessly, signaling him to do the same.
After a moment of silence, Li Muyun opened the chatterbox.
"Brother Huang, I still have the same old saying, we must be hard to strike iron, and the development of our own military strength is fundamental.
Gunpowder must speed up the research progress, as long as it is researched, it will definitely give a strong deterrent to the surrounding countries, which is also the first idea of the minister, the threat of force. ” "Don't look at the fact that gunpowder can only be used to blow up the city gates, in fact, as long as this thing is used well, let alone the city gates, even the city walls can still be blown open.
And we don't have to worry about the city gates and walls, at any time, the siege is actually the next strategy. ” "So my brother thinks that during this period of time, it is best for us to get some simple gunpowder weapons out, and then hold a drill, invite the envoys of the surrounding countries to come, and let them see the military strength of my Datang, so that they can die of provocation, and secondly, they can also improve their morale, even if they really fight, with a strong military force, they can also be like a bamboo."
"As for the second, it is still related to improving the military strength, but we have to do both ways, and by doing business with Goguryeo this time, we can use the excuse of increasing the transportation capacity to rebuild the roads in Goguryeo to facilitate the future attack on Goguryeo."
"In addition, we can also buy some people and turn them into our people, and when the time comes, with the cooperation of their internal personnel, I believe that we can overcome some important passes without much effort.
"But in this way, we need to invest more energy, not only to improve the military strength, but also to send some detailed work into Goguryeo, to examine the topography in detail, and prepare for future attacks."
"As for the last point, it may take a little longer, that is, to take advantage of this opportunity to do business, we sacrifice some interests, establish the prestige of the Tang Dynasty among the Goguryeo people, so that their people can trust us, and thus give up their own court."
"At the same time, we must increase the attraction of Goguryeo talents, give them the opportunity to study and settle in the Tang Dynasty, and turn them into our people.
Li Shimin was stunned as he listened to Li Muyun talking there, almost unable to believe his ears.
Is this still the unreliable bastard at the beginning, except for the first one, the last two methods are simply a stroke of genius.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is not stupid, all he lacks is a reminder, as long as there is an introduction, he can think of a lot of things, as soon as the three strategies come out, on the issue of how to deal with Goguryeo, Li Er suddenly became clear, and he was no longer as entangled as before, and even in a short period of time, he also thought of some more detailed questions.
However, speaking of a thousand ways and ten thousand, His Majesty Li Er still thinks that the sentence that striking iron still needs its own hardness is more reasonable, what kind of peaceful transition, what two-pronged approach is actually, who will bird you without a strong military force.
After sending Li Muyun away, Li Shimin locked himself in the courtyard and thought about it for a whole day, and finally made up his mind to try the gunpowder weapon that Li Muyun said.
Since that thing can kill 20,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry at a time in Shuozhou, there is no reason why it can only be used to blow up the city gate in his own hands.
A piece of paper was sent overnight, and it was sent to the hands of the crown prince Li Chengqian in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, Li Dejian, the young eunuch who had nothing to do, was recruited into the East Palace by the prince and assigned a new task
