Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 518 Zhang Yi's Thoughts

Xue Li and other soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army returned to Chang'an soon, and Li Er also received them with the most solemn etiquette.

When the Eastern Expeditionary Army came back victorious, the whole of Chang'an, no, even the whole of Tang Dynasty, celebrated together.

After some congratulations, rewards should be rewarded and punishments should be punished.

Xue Li was directly praised by Li Er as the champion general because of his outstanding performance in this Eastern Expedition.

During this Eastern Expedition, many famous battles were fought by Xue Li. Especially in the early stage, Xue Li's vanguard army was able to stir up Goguryeo, and it was ready for most of the Tang army to invade Goguryeo. Prepare.

In fact, Xue Li's achievements in this Eastern Expedition are not just what they seem on the surface. Xue Li is the real core figure in this Eastern Expedition.

Zhang Yi could see it, and so could Li Er.

If it weren't for Xue Li, Tang Jun wouldn't have won so easily. Even if Tang Jun won, it would be a miserable victory at best.

Xue Li received Li Er's canonization, naturally he was grateful and extremely happy.

The first thing he did after the canonization was to rush back to Hedong and bring all his family members to Chang'an.

Now he is already a champion general from the third rank. In terms of military occupation, he is already the most senior group of generals in the Tang army. He will not lack power and money.

Xue Li went back to Hedong to pick up his family, so Zhang Yi, who originally planned to leave for Chang'an, had to cancel his trip.

He didn't blame Xue Li, after all, there was nothing wrong with putting family first.

And when Xue Li returned to Chang'an, Zhang Yi had bought him a nice house waiting for him.

Xue Li was not polite, but accepted it open-mindedly.

Zhang Yi is his bole, and the whole Chang'an knows about it, and he doesn't need to hide his close relationship with Zhang Yi, even if Li Er knows about it.

He admired Zhang Yi very much, and at the same time, he was very eager for Zhang Yi to continue to explain the knowledge about thermal weapons to him, because during this Eastern Expedition, he could already deeply feel the importance of thermal weapons for future wars.

It can be said that whoever has more advanced thermal weapons will be able to take the initiative in the war.

And Zhang Yi's head, I don't know how much knowledge about these aspects is still contained, these are things that Xue Li is very eager to know.

Compared with those politicians, Xue Li wants to be a pure general and a pure soldier. He doesn't want to get involved in those political struggles. power.

So he attaches great importance to the relationship with Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi bought a house for Xue Li, but he was not in Chang'an City, but stayed in Zhangjiazhuang.

First of all, he didn't want others to gossip. After all, Xue Li had just won a war and he gave him a big house. He bought it under the name of Xue Li, and no one except Xue Li knew that he bought the house.

Secondly, Zhang Yi still felt that his Zhangjiazhuang was the most comfortable place to stay, so he didn't bother to go to other places.

Xue Li received a gift from Zhang Yi, and immediately rushed to Zhangjiazhuang after setting up his family.

He is going to Zhangjiazhuang to talk to Zhang Yi about the past.

Xue Li left very early, and when he arrived at Zhangjiazhuang, Zhang Yi was still asleep.

However, he didn't let anyone knock on the door to wake Zhang Yi up. Instead, he sat in the courtyard and waited for Zhang Yi.

After Zhang Yi woke up, he found Xue Li waiting in the yard, so he immediately went to confess his crime: "Oh, I've been lazy for a while, and my whole person has changed."

Xue Li also knew Zhang Yi's temper. If he was left alone in another era, and even said that as long as he was thrown to Jiangnan or there, as long as he stayed away from Chang'an, then Zhang Yi would definitely be a big idler.

It's not that he is indifferent to fame and wealth, but because he is lazy, very lazy, Zhang Yi doesn't bother to look at other things except making money that can arouse his interest.

But Zhang Yi did get up very late, after he washed up, the Zhang family was already ready for lunch.

By the way, Xue Li was invited to eat with him.

And Xue Li was not polite at all, because the food made by the Zhang family was so delicious. The best food he ate in his life was eaten in Zhangjiazhuang, and it was made by Zhang Yi.

At the dinner table, the two began to chat, chatting all over the world.

But no matter how you talk, in the end, you will always get back to the topic.

In the end, Zhang Yi couldn't help it, and mentioned the matter of hot weapons to Xue Li, and Xue Li was about to ask Zhang Yi about hot weapons, and the two of them just chatted to a certain point.

"Rengui, I believe you have felt something about this Eastern Expedition. I believe you can see the difference between hot weapons and cold weapons."

Zhang Yi began to talk leisurely, and Xue Li nodded after hearing it. Hot weapons are indeed much stronger than cold weapons in many places.

"I have a very bold idea that I want to do, but before I start, I hope to get your support."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he stared blankly at Xue Li, waiting for his reply.

"Talk about it first." Xue Li didn't reply to Zhang Yi in a hurry, but pricked up his ears to listen to him.

"It's about hot weapons. I want to suggest that Your Majesty use hot weapons as the main weapon of the Tang army in the future."

Zhang Yi said with burning eyes, this is definitely a shocking decision for others, even Xue Li who just won the battle with hot weapons, he dare not think that hot weapons can become the main weapon of the army now.

Xue Li frowned and began to think.

It is true that hot weapons are very powerful, but cold weapons are also very useful. If you only rely on hot weapons, it may be difficult to win a war.

Moreover, under their use now, hot weapons are at best used as an auxiliary to cold weapons, and it is best to rely on cold weapons to win or lose the war.

"Disapprove!"

After thinking for a long time, Xue Li uttered this sentence.

"Disapprove? Why? You know how powerful those gunpowder bombs are, and we can develop more thermal weapons by then. If these thermal weapons can become the main weapons of the Tang army, then, in this world, Who else will be the opponent?"

Zhang Yi looked at Xue Li in confusion and asked.

Xue Li sighed and said: "I know the power of hot weapons, but the consumption of hot weapons is too high. To put it bluntly, hot weapons are actually burning money. The more money you burn, the more powerful you are, and the less money you burn, the more Weak."

"Now that Datang's treasury is full, it's okay to burn some money. If Datang is exhausted, what will Datang's army use to fight others at that time?"

"When all the soldiers of Datang get used to using hot weapons, they will forget the sharpness of cold weapons, and then our Datang will fall into another dangerous situation."

Xue Li's words made Zhang Yi fall into deep thought.

Xue Li's words are indeed reasonable. It was Zhang Yi's own wishful thinking before. Although hot weapons will be the future development trend, they can't become fat in one sitting. They have to do everything step by step. Now that they haven't learned to walk, don't let them go. Thinking about how to run.

If they run too fast, much faster than this era, perhaps, this is not a good thing.

"I was the one who was rude." Zhang Yi sighed softly, and continued: "But you have also seen the power of hot weapons. I think the Tang army should add a team of hot weapons. able to perform better.”

"Adding a team dedicated to using thermal weapons is much better than teaching a new group of people to use thermal weapons every time you fight."

Since hot weapons cannot become the mainstream weapon of the Tang army now, Zhang Yi decided to settle for the next best thing and asked Xue Li to suggest to Li Er to add a hot weapon team.

Combining cold weapons with hot weapons, the combination of the two is not bad, at least much better than those that mainly use cold weapons. Zhang Yi believes that if Datang's army uses two kinds of weapons at the same time Weapons can also hang up and fight these surrounding countries together.

And Xue Li thought about Zhang Yi's idea seriously, and felt that this idea was very feasible.

Although the use of thermal weapons is very expensive, it is also excellent to add a team of thermal weapons to the soldiers of each government. It can effectively control costs and form a strong combat force. This configuration is very good.

Even if Zhang Yi didn't say anything, after Xue Li heard Zhang Yi's idea, he would still want to give advice to Li Er. If Tang Jun could really do that, then Xue Li believed that Datang's army would definitely be able to Become the most powerful army in the world.

After this idea was confirmed, Zhang Yi felt relieved.

Even if it is just adding a team that specializes in using hot weapons in the army, it is enough to make Tang Jun look down on the world.

After the main issue was determined and the two chatted for a while, Zhang Yi couldn't wait to let Xue Li go to the palace to find Li Er.

Zhang Yi generously gave up his proposal to Xue Li, because he no longer wanted to be trapped in the court, even if there was no fight, he himself did not want to have any relationship with the court.

And Xue Li is still in the rising period, such a proposal is a political achievement for him, if this proposal is really adopted, then his status will continue to rise.

And Datang, in the days to come, needs generals like Xue Li.

Looking at the back of Xue Li going away, Zhang Yi smiled, very happily.

Although I don't want to be an official in the court, but in any case, the blood flowing in my body is the blood of the Han people. When thinking of future generations, when facing major choices, the blood flowing in him will tell him how to go. Do.

"The Tang Dynasty's army is stronger, so the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can be maintained for a longer time."

"I don't want to be invincible in the world, but I want the country and the people to be safe, and the country is safe and the people are safe!"

Zhang Yi spoke slowly and heavily, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, he looked extraordinarily friendly.

After Xue Li told Li Er about Zhang Yi's suggestion, Li Er immediately accepted it.

Soon, the Datang army began to add a team dedicated to using hot weapons, and Xue Li was the general manager in charge of this type of team.

Now in the entire Tang Dynasty, it is known that, apart from Zhang Yi, the person who knows the most about hot weapons is Xue Li.

Zhang Yi is the person who knows the most about hot weapons, a guy who traveled from modern times, he knows how powerful hot weapons are.

Most of Xue Li's understanding of hot weapons was taught by Zhang Yi, and the rest was slowly pondered by him from the part of knowledge taught by Zhang Yi.

Therefore, besides Zhang Yi, Xue Li is the most suitable candidate for the chief manager of the hot weapon team.

Moreover, Xue Li had just won the Eastern Expedition, and his prestige in the army was very high. It would be great if he were to lead this new army.

The advantages of Xue Li leading this new army are not comparable to others. This new army will be the most powerful army in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and Xue Li, as its commander, will definitely be able to show its talents in the future.

For Xue Li, Zhang Yi was still very hopeful. He knew that Xue Li would definitely pass through this new army in the future and become famous all over the world again.

In the future, everyone will see the strength of the Heat Weapons Troop. This is a team that can turn the tide at any time!
But he was not interested in competing with Xue Li for the position of chief executive.

Isn't his life very good now, with inexhaustible money, and endless maids and servants, and a lovely wife like Yun at home. In a few years, he will have a lot of babies. At that time, Zhang I'm afraid that Yi can't even be busy with his own family, so he still has the heart to argue with Xue Li about these things.

Zhang Yi is very satisfied with his current life.

In any case, the original promise and idea have been fulfilled.

And Zhang Yi got quite a lot, no matter what aspect it is, money, fame and fortune, and power in the future, he can get what he wants without falling behind.

However, after experiencing many things, Zhang Yi knew that at this time, only his family is what he values ​​most.

Power and money are nothing but floating clouds.

Although it is said that Zhang Yi alone cannot support the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yi has a lot of credit for the panic and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Zhang Yi, he doesn't want anything. All he wants is that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and that is enough.

His Great Tang, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the country is rich and the people are strong, his Great Tang, no regrets!

The soul of the Tang Dynasty is endless, prosperous, and will never die!
