Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 340 Gaochang Iron Cavalry
Li Shimin has his own thoughts, Princess Yicheng and Empress Xiao are not ordinary people, they are remnants of the previous dynasty.

But in terms of seniority, Li Shimin took Yang Guang's daughter, and Empress Xiao was Yang Guang's empress. In this way, Empress Xiao is Li Shimin's mother-in-law and Li Fu's grandmother.

But the problem is that Li Shimin has bad intentions towards his mother-in-law, and also has ulterior motives towards Princess Yicheng, so if one of them can't be handled well, then there will be trouble.

In particular, Princess Yicheng was a daughter of the imperial family of the Sui Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, she married the Eastern Turkic Khan and played a role in fueling the Weishui alliance. Li Shimin hated this woman so much.

The most direct way to take revenge on a woman is of course extreme humiliation, but the problem is that it involves an identity and political relationship, Li Shimin has to be cautious, that's why he specially invited so many people to discuss it together.

【Damn it, why did I forget such an important matter, Li Er is obviously a wolfish ambition, he has evil intentions towards those two women, he wants to bring people into the palace! 】

[Fuck, I heard that Empress Xiao is in her [-]s, and this Li Er is too hungry to eat, I have to admire him, his teeth are so good, regardless of age, regardless of age, he just accepts everything! 】

Hearing Li Fu's heartfelt words, the veins on Li Shimin's forehead throbbed violently, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were about to burst.

But Li Fu didn't notice Li Er's abnormality at all, and continued to slander him in his heart.

[No, that old man Li Yuan seems to be interested in Empress Xiao too. When Chang'an proclaimed himself emperor, he even wrote a special letter to tease Empress Xiao. 】

【If Empress Xiao is really invited into the palace, will Li Yuan and Li Er fight because of this woman? 】

Li Shimin couldn't listen anymore, wished he could hold down Li Fu's hammer, but in front of so many ministers, he couldn't get angry, let alone get angry, he could only sulk, staring at the ministers in front of him with gloomy eyes .

"Your Majesty, these are our opinions. I wonder if you have any other opinions?"

Fang Xuanling and the others had already expressed their opinions, but seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face, they all felt uneasy, thinking that what someone just said touched Li Shimin's rebellious scales.

When Li Shimin heard Fang Xuanling's question, he came back to his senses, and his face suddenly changed into a lonely expression.

"Forget it, let's handle this matter according to the wishes of the gentlemen. Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites will arrange it, and I will not interfere."

"I will obey the order!" Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly led the ministers behind him to bow to Li Shimin.

"Okay, you all go back first, the crown prince stays!" Li Shimin lost the intention to continue talking about political affairs, and waved his hand to signal to Fang Xuanling and others that they could leave, but Li Fu stayed behind.

【what's going on?Why am I the only one staying?What about me?What are you doing! 】

【Li Er, what kind of trouble is this? It's already been decided. Why do you leave me?I'm still in a hurry to go back and make delicious food! 】

【It’s so easy to get the pearl fruit out, and the Liuwei Dihuang Wan is almost done. These days, I’m overworked every day, so I have to make up for myself! 】

Li Shimin frowned and was even more dissatisfied with Li Fu, but he asked calmly on the surface: "Prince, I heard that you have built a new firearms workshop in the outer suburbs of Chang'an, and you have brought Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang to you Do something?"

"I am going to report this matter to my father!" Li Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yuan Daochang and Li Daochang both voluntarily went to help my son's firearms shop, it's not my son who dragged them over to do things..."

"I know this, you don't need to argue." Li Shimin waved his hand, "I just want to know, when will your firearm let me see it?"

"Spring is about to start, and there is news from the north that Gaochang has been mobilizing its troops frequently recently, and Gaochang's special troops have appeared on the border. It is called heavy cavalry. The men and horses are all covered with heavy armor and connected to each other. I suffered from them!"

"Ah?" Li Fu was startled for a while, thinking quickly in his mind.

[What's the situation, is there a war in the North?Gaochang has a heavy cavalry?But why does it sound like the legendary Iron Buddha? 】

[Could it be that the Gaochang Kingdom is the distant ancestor of the Jin people, they already have iron stupas, and there are a lot of them? 】

Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard this, the distant ancestor of the Jin people?Iron Buddha?What are you talking about?I can't understand any of them!
But from Li Fu's inner voice, Li Shimin heard that Li Fu seemed to have a good understanding of the heavy cavalry of Gaochang Kingdom.

The reason why he kept Li Fu was to ask if there was any way to deal with this heavy cavalry.

[In fact, the heavy cavalry is a unit in which both men and horses wear heavy armor and act as the main attack point to implement central breakthrough tactics on the battlefield. 】

[Use the huge pressure and impact of the heavy cavalry group charge to disrupt the enemy's formation, making it easier for your own light cavalry and infantry to outflank and outflank, and finally wipe out the opponent. 】

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Li Fu to be so skillful in using cavalry, especially how to cooperate with light and heavy cavalry, he could explain so clearly and clearly, which surprised Li Shimin.

[But the heavy cavalry of Gaochang Kingdom at present should be just a very rough kind of coverage, and they have also trained a chain of horses. Have they really trained well? 】

[And with Gaochang's national strength, how much steel can they have to equip this heavy cavalry?I am curious! 】

Li Shimin was also very curious when he heard this. After all, Datang's steel is still in a barren state. Even with Li Fu's steel factory, it is just enough to be self-sufficient.

As for Gaochang, according to Li Shimin's information, they don't have enough fuel for their beautiful and mature steel casting technology. How did they build such a heavy cavalry?

But neither Li Shimin nor Li Fu wanted to get entangled in this kind of issue, let Baiqi and Jin Yiwei tangle up.

"So Prince, I have high expectations for your firearms workshop. In my opinion, your firearms are the only way to defeat the heavy cavalry!"

"Otherwise, in the event of a battle in the wild, my Tang soldiers will definitely suffer heavy losses. Therefore, I hope that your firearms workshop can speed up the progress and produce enough firearms before our army sends troops."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Fu couldn't help rolling his eyes inwardly.

[Are you kidding, you need to use firearms to deal with heavy cavalry, how did Li Er have such a brain? 】

Li Shimin was surprised for a while, he was very puzzled by Li Fu's ridicule, because in his opinion, the heavy cavalry was indeed a strong opponent for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and he even wanted to build a heavy cavalry right away Come.

The opponents of the heavy cavalry are only the heavy cavalry. This is the result that Li Shimin agreed with Li Jing and others in private.

How come Li Fu is here, but it doesn't seem to be the case?
