Chapter 297: The Enemy May Not Be Strong......
To say that such a knife may be very common elsewhere, but it is estimated that it is rare to see it in Yuezhou, after all, at this time in Yuezhou are the most elite forces of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is Li Zhen's East Palace Ten Rate, or Li Shimin's Guards, they are all equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, and they are the face project of the Tang Army, and it is impossible to equip them with the weapons of the previous dynasty, so it is not easy to find such a Sui knife.
Fortunately, the guards were lucky, and found a Sui Dynasty saber from the armory of the Lingnan Governor's Mansion - the only weapon in the entire Yuezhou that had such a weapon here.
Soon, a knife that looked exactly the same as Li Shimin's hand in terms of shape was quickly sent over by the guards and presented to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin quickly took the knife and compared the two knives together, and the gap was immediately obvious - I saw that the first Sui knife was obviously much narrower than the knife brought by the guards.
Li Shimin did not believe in evil and chose a few more, but the results showed the same, all the captured knives were much narrower than the knives brought by the guards, and the most serious one was even about a centimeter narrower.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I may have understood what Zhen'er meant."
Li Shimin put down the knife and said with a somewhat knowing smile: "A knife is worn out like this and is not replaced, which means that the other party's materials have begun to be scarce, and if they still have contact with the mainland, then it is impossible for them to use such weapons." ” Li Zhen added: "Don't forget, my lords, with the popularization of thermal weapons, our Datang's cold weapons are no longer very forbidden materials, especially this kind of weapons in the former Sui period, which is among our redressing, and belongs to things that are about to be eliminated, and some of these weapons themselves are to be sold to the people."
If Li Miyu still had contact with the mainland, it would be impossible for him not to know this information, and it was even more impossible that he would not change his equipment. ” "That's right."
Li Shimin nodded again and again, very satisfied with Li Zhen's performance, worthy of being the heir he chose, this ability to observe the nuances is indeed extraordinary.
"And look at the corpses."
Li Zhen pointed to the corpses on the ground and added: "Although the lime has caused their skin to change color, we can still see that their bodies are unhealthy. ” "Imperial Doctor."
Li Shimin instructed: "Do what Zhen'er said." ” "Yes."
Immediately, the imperial doctor stepped forward and carried away several corpses to prepare for autopsy.
The results of the autopsy soon came out: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others dissected the stomachs of several corpses and found that their stomachs had been diseased, which was caused by eating the same food for a long time......
His Highness is right, their supplies have begun to be scarce, or they have not been ashore since they went to sea, otherwise it would be impossible not to buy grains on the shore. ” "In that case, it's going to be easy."
Li Shimin's face was full of smiles: "Then Zhen'er, do you think that if you send the Yuezhou fleet now, can you destroy it in one battle?"
” "I'm afraid it's not easy."
Li Zhen thought about it, but was still ready to tell the truth: "We have also walked that route several times, but we have not encountered the so-called enemy, which means that that the island is probably not one of their dens, they may have temporarily anchored there for some reason, but it happened to let Saren bump into it......
Therefore, it is very difficult to find traces of the enemy. ” Speaking of this, Li Zhen saw that Saren was about to speak and stopped, gave him a stop look, and continued: "However, all this is Erchen's speculation, and we still need to verify how things are - so what Erchen means is that the fleet must be sent, and it must be sent more, and a Yuezhou fleet is not enough, we must add warships to the Yuezhou fleet to form a strengthened fleet, only in this way can it be more secure." ” Wei Chi Jingde suggested: "In this case, it is better to send another fleet, and the two fleets together to form a joint fleet, wouldn't it be better?"
” Everyone looked at Wei Chi Jingde with disdain, none of the people present were fools, there were only two integrated fleets in the entire Tang Dynasty now, one was the Yuezhou fleet, the other was the Dengzhou fleet, and the governor of the Dengzhou fleet was Wei Chi Baolin, the son of Wei Chi Jingde......
The matter is already obvious - Wei Chi Jingde is taking credit for his son, but the people present can't say anything against it, firstly, although Wei Chi Jingde's move is selfish, but it is more for the sake of business, and secondly, even if they want to oppose it, they can't oppose it, unless the person who opposes it can find a second fleet of the same size as the Dengzhou fleet, but Datang only has two fleets, where can they find it?
Thinking of this, ninety percent of the people present were envious, jealous and hateful to Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Qiong, and they were even more infinitely remorseful in their hearts - why didn't they see the potential of the navy in advance?
If he could see it in advance, why would the Dengzhou fleet fall into the hands of Yu Chi Baolin, a big fool, and Qin Huaiyu, a little white face?
At this moment, some people's hearts are rotten with regret.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
Qin Qiong hurriedly seconded the proposal, this was agreed by both of them in advance, and this matter was beneficial to both of them, so naturally they would not pull each other's backs.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
Fang Xuanling has a good relationship with the two, not to mention that his son is in the army, and he is not in the same unit as the navy, and he has no grudges, so he is naturally willing to be a favor.
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
Not to mention Du Ruhui, Du He is a civilian official and a governor of one party, and he also has no conflict of interest with the navy, of course he will agree.
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
This time it's Li Ji, his grandson is still studying in the academy, there are still several years before graduation, and he has an old relationship with Qin Qiong, so he won't object.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal." “……” Seeing that the bigwigs in the court agreed, of course, the minions below would not object, and they seconded the proposal.
"No, I'm against it."
However, just when everyone thought that the matter was about to be passed and there was only one decree left, an unexpected person objected.
Seeing the person who objected, everyone was stunned, it stands to reason that even if everyone is against it, this person should agree, after all, if you talk about it carefully, Qin Huaiyu and Yu Chi Baolin are both this henchmen, why is it that everyone agrees now, but you are against it?
It's so weird, could it be one of them......
What's ......
Dirty?
The eyes of the hundreds of officials scanned back and forth on the faces of Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, seeing that the two of them were upset.
