Chapter 345: Lack of social beating

Chen Wang felt very scared, and his two trembling as if he couldn't stand steadily.

He originally built kitchen knives for neighbors in his blacksmith shop, but he never expected that a large group of Qianniu guards wearing all their bodies, holding swords and guns rushed in and stuffed all his family into the car. Even the guys in his shop were in a row.

Chen Wang's original black face was so scared that he was almost blown up, and he couldn't figure out which kingly law he had violated. He was pitiful. He was just a little blacksmith, and his family's business was not good. How could he cause Qianniu Guard, the Emperor Guard, to be arrested?!

The carriage was escorted by the Qianniu Guards in the brigade and came to a high wall behind the imperial city. If Chen Wang knew how to read, he could recognize it through the door plaque. This was the territory of Shang Chengji, the subordinate of the palace.

"Are you Chen Wang?" A young official wearing a green robe came to Chen Wang and asked, "Is anyone in your shop built this thing?"

Chen Wang, who was frightened, saw the paper that appeared in front of him. Looking at the small pieces on it, he immediately recognized that it was something that the short-haired monster asked him to create in the morning. "Yes, yes, yes."

"Have you ever revealed this to someone else?"

"No, no, even the wife at home has never said it."

"Okay, from now on, you will be a member of the palace. Come with me."

The palace province is a department that controls the emperor's life. Simply put, it is a department that provides private services to the emperor. Chen Wang was so dizzy that he went from a blacksmith with a downturn in business to the emperor's servant, and directly put the imperial name on it. The reason for all this was naturally Yan Fei.

When Qin Qiong hurriedly led the horse into the palace, Li Shimin, who learned about this, immediately understood the importance of these seemingly inconspicuous small iron pieces. He was the emperor on the horse's back in the true sense, and he didn't know how many wars he had fought. He knew very well that although this thing was inconspicuous, the effect was very significant. It was definitely very important in this era when cavalry was prevalent.

Afterwards, Li Shimin ordered the blockade of news and absolutely did not allow this technology to flow out, especially the East and West Turks. This caused the fact that Chen Wang was taken to the palace by Qianniuwei before.

In the Tai Chi Palace, many palace maids and eunuchs were far away from each other, lowering their heads and holding their breath, not daring to disturb the emperor in the hall wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

Li Shimin in film and television works is all handsome and elegant. However, Li Shimin in film and television dramas is basically a slutty face with a white face. In this era, as long as men become adults, they basically have beards, and those without beards are eunuchs. If Li Shimin himself saw a group of eunuchs acting as him, he would probably have turned over Zhaoling.

Li Shimin himself is indeed majestic, but his face is not like a jade-like face, but a little black. This is because he has been fighting outside for many years, and it is strange that he is not black. He also has a beard and is very dense. He is not the kind of elegant style with a few long beards, and a rough and big beard. Anyway, his image is completely different from the film and television image created by modern people through imagination.

Li Shimin held a few horseshoes made urgently in his hand and observed them carefully. After a moment, he spoke to Qin Qiong, who was standing respectfully and solemnly beside him, "This thing is easy to build, and it will be leaked if it is promoted in the army. Once it is known by the Turks, it is definitely not a blessing for the Tang Dynasty."

The effectiveness of horseshoes is undoubtedly able to greatly improve the combat effectiveness and endurance of cavalry. However, because of the simple technology, once it is leaked to those nations on horseback, it is definitely not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, which mainly focuses on farming.

"Report to Your Majesty." Qin Qiong bowed and responded, "Yan Fei, who offered horseshoes, said that this technology is destined to be leaked, but it is just a matter of time. If you want to maximize the advantages brought by this technological breakthrough, then concentrate your efforts to build a group and then supply it to the cavalry. Following the example of the Han Dynasty, Huo Cavalry went north and rushed into the grassland to directly copy Jie Li's golden tent."

After pausing, seeing Li Shimin without saying anything, Qin Qiong continued to speak, "In the past, cavalry attacked, nearly 30% of the horses had been damaged before they reached the grassland, resulting in a great loss of combat power. If they went deep into the grassland, the horse's hooves would be extremely damaged. It would be good if half of the 10,000 troops could be used. But after this thing, the horses had almost no worries about the horse's hooves being cracked."

The most powerful weapon of cavalry is its maneuverability. In this era when communications are basically roaring, the cavalry moves faster than the speed of message transmission. They can concentrate their strength to attack the weak links of the enemy.

The grasslands in the north are not the kind of blue sky and green grass that you imagine. In fact, the environment of the grasslands is harsh, and there are no roads everywhere. With the weight of cavalry and weapons and equipment, the horses are under great pressure, and the horse's hooves are broken and the horse's hooves are very high.

In the past, each cavalry had to carry several horses when attacking, and in addition to bringing pack horses to carry supplies, it was more used as a backup. For the Central Plains farming people who lacked horses, this became the biggest problem that restricted the scale of cavalry.

With horseshoes, this problem can be greatly alleviated. Yan Fei’s suggestion is very simple. Taking advantage of the technological advantages, build a large number of people, and then concentrate cavalry forces and equipment all the way north to imitate Huo Qubing’s approach and directly kill Jie Li’s golden tent and make a fortune.

After all, this thing has no technical content, and it will eventually be leaked after being equipped on a large scale. It is better to use the time before the leak to earn some benefits.

Li Shimin was the emperor who conquered the world. At the age of sixteen, he entered the military camp and began his military career. Within ten years, he has fought south and north to fight Xue Ju, defeated Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou who surrendered to the Turks, went out of Tongguan to attack Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, wiped out Liu Heita and Xu Yuanlang in Shandong, and conquered Jiangnan and other places for countless wars throughout his life. His military ability is unquestionable.

Yan Fei’s point of view was not complicated, and Li Shimin quickly understood it.

During the Battle of Luoyang, Li Shimin personally led the Xuanjia Hu Ben to use the tactic of direct attack on the Huanglong, directly defeating Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong. He was very interested in this tactic of concentrating his strength to attack important parts of the enemy.

Let me say here that the armor of the Xuanjia Hu Ben is not red, but black. The black color is black.

The Qin people were still dark, so the elite cavalry formed by Li Shimin through the horses he brought from the Turks were all soap-clothed and black armored. Therefore, this private army of Li Shimin was not the red armored armored on TV, but black.

Li Shimin, who had just been slapped in his face on the banks of the Weishui River, was very interested in the proposal. For Li Shimin, who had made great achievements in fighting all over the world with his own strength, the Weishui Alliance was definitely an unprecedented huge shame. He always wanted to take revenge on Jie Li.

However, this kind of tactic is very risky. Once a problem arises, the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty may all be buried in the grassland. This is something that Li Shimin cannot accept.

Huo Qubing was able to succeed because the whole man behind him was supporting him. Even if he failed, he could make a comeback. However, the Tang Dynasty could not withstand such losses now, so even Li Shimin, who was extremely adventurous, was in a dilemma.

Li Shimin paced back and forth in the hall, and his footsteps gradually became anxious. As the military commander, he was willing to take this risk and get the greatest reward with his small efforts. When he thought of Jie Li being caught in front of him and knelt down and begging for mercy, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.

But as the emperor, Li Shimin did not dare to take risks, because this action required the concentration of almost all the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to make a desperate bet. Once danger arises, the Tang Dynasty, which lost its elite cavalry troops, will immediately fall into danger.

The hall was in a strange silence, and only Li Shimin's footsteps kept ringing.

I don’t know how long it took, Li Shimin stopped and looked at Qin Qiong, “Well Yan Fei said he offered this thing just to see me?”

"Yes." Qin Qiong responded respectfully, "This man came from the west and admired the heavenly face."

"Haha~~~" Li Shimin would not believe this statement. In his opinion, Yan Fei must have a purpose to see him. He is definitely not admiring Tianyan.

"Your Majesty, this person has unknown identity, maybe he has any other intentions." Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment and spoke, "If so..."

"No need." Li Shimin waved his hand very proudly, "Since I started to fight south and north, I have survived many times. What is the Hu Shang of the Western Regions? Go and bring him!"

If you simply offer horseshoes, this contribution is not as good as the emperor needs to see him personally. But Li Shimin was interested in the tactic proposed by Yan Fei, so he wanted to meet this businessman who was said to be from the extreme west. As for the possible danger, he did not mention the heavily guarded palace. Li Shimin, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, had extreme confidence in himself.

When Yan Fei and Zhao Si, who was driving the ox cart, came to the gate of the palace, the sky gradually dimmed. Looking at the majestic palace in front of him, Yan Fei told Zhao Si to stay here and take good care of the things on the ox cart. The boxes covered with tarpaulin were filled with supplies brought by Yan Fei from the modern world.

"In the lower Yan Fei, I have met His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." When he followed Qin Qiong to Tai Chi Palace and saw Li Shimin wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Yan Fei bowed and bowed. As for the kneeling etiquette of the common people in this era, Yan Fei would definitely not do it. He would not bend his knees to anyone except his parents.

Looking at Yan Fei who refused to kneel down, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes. The eunuch in front of him was already angry and shouted, "Bold!"

"Why don't you pay tribute to Your Majesty!" Qin Qiong gave Yan Fei a good sense of the horseshoe and eagerly defended him. "This person is a savage from the Western Regions. He has not been educated and does not understand etiquette. Please forgive him."

"The Duke of the People is wrong." Yan Fei ignored the eunuch, but looked at Qin Qiong with a smile. "I have received education in kindergarten since I was a child, and I have received more than ten years of professional education until I graduated. After that, I entered society and received beatings from society, not an uncivilized savage."
