Chapter 438 Military parade to test one’s talent
"Go and call the Prime Minister and Prime Minister Du. Now there are few generals available in the court to garrison the troops and to fight in the north."
Wang De took the order and left the Manna Palace. Zhang Ananda appeared behind Li Shimin: "This old slave is full of courage and blood, and can still be used by Your Majesty."
Li Shimin looked at the gate of Ganlu Hall and smiled: "It's not that time yet, so you can't commit the crime."
The Prime Minister just sent Fang Yiai to fight in the north a few days ago. I heard that Fang Yiai has now joined the motorcyclists. However, he did not bring the motorized troops this time, so Fang Yiai went to drive a pickup truck.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling looked at Du Ruhui, who had just recovered from his illness, and was in a daze: "How serious is the Tang Dynasty today that they would call Lao Du, an old minister who has just recovered from a serious illness, to discuss matters?"
Du Ruhui didn't have so many questions, and his expression was as usual: "Your Majesty must have made his own decision when he did this. As a minister, you often ask questions about right and wrong. Why do you want me to teach you?"
Entering the Ganlu Hall, the two of them saluted Li Shimin: "See your majesty."
Li Shimin waved his sleeves: "Sit down, no need to be polite. The two of you are here to discuss the issue of envoys from the Harsha Dynasty."
Fang Xuanling has been running around everywhere these days and has heard about it for a long time: "I heard that the envoys of the Harsha Dynasty were arrogant and unreasonable and smashed the stalls and shops of ordinary people and merchants. Is this the case?"
Although Du Ruhui had been recovering from illness for a long time, his sharp eyes were full of hostility towards the envoys of the Harsha Dynasty.
"If that's the case, just kill them. How can the Tang Dynasty be afraid of such cowardly cowards? Isn't it very majestic to beat someone who is unable to fight back?"
Li Shimin coughed twice, and Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling both stopped talking and looked in Li Shimin's direction.
"The Yuchi family went to sea, and those who supported the northern border supported the northern border. Some of the famous generals in the North were either in the northern border or stationed elsewhere, and no one was available. In addition, I made a temporary decision to send two ships of supplies to Xiaobao's side. and personnel, now Datang is fighting on two fronts. If..."
Du Ruhui nodded: "If there is another dispute with the Harsha Dynasty, is your Majesty thinking about this?"
Before Li Shimin could answer, Du Ruhui had already sneered again and again: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Although Du was a little short-sighted in the past, now the Tang Dynasty is as powerful as the sunrise in the sky, and Du has no choice but to see it."
"In my opinion, let alone a third-line battle, what about the current fourth- and fifth-line battles?"
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but nod: "In terms of national strength, military equipment, food, materials, population, strategic depth, and soldiers who are not afraid of death, I do not believe that there can be a country in the world that can rival the Tang Dynasty today."
Li Shimin was very happy to hear this, but after all, the Harsha Dynasty was still a dynasty, and it was said to be a golden country. He didn't have the strength to dare to jump in his face? Call me Li Shimin a weakling?
"The envoys of the Harsha Dynasty have revealed more than once that the military force of their Harsha Dynasty is far superior to that of our Tang Dynasty, and the envoys kept using filthy words."
When Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling heard this, they gasped: "Is there any solid evidence?"
After all, no matter how confident that humans cannot fly on their own bodies, they will be a little shaken when they see an idiot shouting that he can fly and then jumping off the cliff.
After all, this is not a job that a sane carbon-based creature can do.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui brainstormed for a while, and Fang Xuanling had an idea: "Why not give it a try? They said they have better weapons and more powerful force. We will hold a military parade, and there will always be people in the Tianwei Army camp. Are there some weapons ready?"
When Li Shimin heard this, it was a damn good idea: "Why don't we take out the oldest generation of firearms first, and then go up level by level to find out how powerful they are in each section."
Both Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling thought it was good, but Du Ruhui was in trouble: "The Tianwei Army has strict management, isn't it difficult to manage? There are no people who can speak well."
Li Shimin took a breath of cold air: "Hiss, that's the truth, tsk, there it is. Just wait for the news!"
Li Shimin, who had sent Fang and Du away, sat in front of the telegraph machine and was unable to press the buttons for a long time. Wang De asked softly from the side.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send a report to the Duke?"
Li Shimin didn't know for a moment which Yuchi Wang De was referring to, and scratched his head: "Xiaobao's side is just a matter of pockets. I guess there is a war going on at the moment, no."
Wang De stopped talking, and Li Shimin finally sent the telegram tremblingly.
"Third sister, are you there?"
Things turned out to be simpler than Li Shimin expected. He easily borrowed the right to parade a motorized unit of the Tianwei Army. The third sister also promised that all the installed weapons would be displayed.
Li Shimin slapped his thigh: "It's done! It's my third sister!"
----------------------------------------
Li Shimin was absent-minded during the court meeting. The reports in the newspapers from various places were all trivial matters. The dignified governor reported that a farmer had lost three chickens, and the next day he found that they had flown into his house and laid eggs.
"It has been rainy and sunny in Jiangnan Road recently. I wish your Majesty well."
Li Shimin had a big head: "On the day of the proclamation of the precepts, the envoys from the dynasty entered the palace."
After waiting for a long time, no envoys came. Logically speaking, envoys need to wait outside the hall in advance. Regardless of whether they tell you or not, you have to wait at the door.
Just when Li Shimin was about to lose his patience, Wang De stretched his neck and saw the Harsha Dynasty envoy with only a few pieces of cloth on his body, a cloth bag wrapped around his head, and his face painted in yellow, white and black.
"The envoy from Harsha Dynasty has arrived!"
Li Shimin looked at the arrogant envoy below, followed by a group of miserable humanoids dressed similarly to him, and felt that the breakfast he had eaten in the morning was about to come out of his throat.
Li Shimin suppressed the discomfort in his throat: "Do you have your credentials?"
The envoy spoke in Tang Dynasty dialect with a strange accent: "Oh, the Harsha Dynasty came to see the little Tang Kingdom, and still needs a letter of credence? Is the king of the Tang Dynasty a little shameless?"
Li Shimin was extremely angry and laughed back: "Okay, okay, I have always heard that the Harsha Dynasty has sufficient military equipment. You might as well take a look at the military equipment of our little Tang Kingdom to see if the envoy can have some insights."
The envoys from the Harsha Dynasty heard that Li Shimin didn't look angry, and thought to themselves that this is what happened to the Tang Dynasty, it was nothing!
"As you please, let's take a look and see how big the gap is between your Tang Kingdom and Harsha Dynasty!"
Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair and looked forward. Wang De walked over and helped straighten the skirt of the dragon robe.
"Show off at the school martial arts field! Visit the military parade!"
The civil servants in the DPRK are all old people. When they hear the military parade, they are very excited. This is not something that can be seen under ordinary circumstances. If you see it, you will earn it!
