Chapter 573 It's Time To Change
After Li Yan finished speaking, several people looked at each other, especially Chen Zhibao and Lei Wanchun, who were military generals.
Although they are five years older, their appearance is not much different from five years ago. After all, there is really no effort in the past five years. The Tang Dynasty is like a very normal operation machine. They only need to do their daily tasks well.
"Your Majesty is probably already known. Although your training has not been lost, your combat effectiveness is far from the level of the past," he said.
After Chen Zhibao finished speaking, Lei Wanchun nodded in agreement.
Although they no longer watched the soldiers' training in person, as important figures related to the soldiers, they naturally pay attention to the development of the military power of the Tang Dynasty.
The consciousness of being prepared for danger in times of peace has never disappeared from their heads, but one thing they have to admit is that there is no war, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will decline little by little.
When the veterans who had participated in the war before gradually retreated, the new soldiers did not believe that there would be another battle in the Tang Dynasty. Under the influence of this mentality, it would be strange that the combat effectiveness could increase.
"Since all the masters know the crux of our Tang soldiers now, it will be simple to solve it. It is impossible to have a war like this. As long as there is someone there, there will be war."
Li Qing said this calmly, but the few people around him were surprised, because not only the soldiers nowadays did not believe that there would be wars in the Tang Dynasty, but they themselves did not believe it.
Although the Tang Dynasty did not destroy the surrounding tribes, Li Qing had been hindering their development of their own military and technology through trade, and they could eat and drink and let them play casually. However, even hard goods like salt and iron can control you. The war horses of the Uighurs and the money of the Tubos basically entered the treasury of the Tang Dynasty every year, and under such circumstances, they would not be able to develop.
After finally getting some troops, they were consumed in the battle between them and the tribes around them, and Li Yan ignored such battles.
"Your Majesty means to destroy several tribes around us? You have to think twice about this. Whether it is the north or west, the land there is very barren and not suitable for farming. There is also the question of how their tribesmen will resettle after they are destroyed. I am afraid that it will have some impact on the people of the Tang Dynasty who are now very stable."
"I didn't say I wanted to attack these tribes around. The things they gave to the Tang Dynasty and war horses were much more taxed than the Tang Dynasty's own. I still couldn't bear to beat them! This was the secret letter sent by Zhang Chong from Japan last time. You can take a look first. Calculate the date. Zhang Chong should come back in two months. Before he comes back, we have to discuss it first, right?"
After saying that, Li Qing pointed to several letters on his desk, which were obviously copied versions of the letters sent back by Zhang Chong.
They picked up the letter and saw that Zhang Chong, following Li N's instructions, asked the Tang Dynasty warships to cruise as far as possible on the seas where the Tang Dynasty had become the Tang Dynasty vassal states such as Silla. He has been so persistent in recent years. Just a few months ago, they actually met a cargo ship on the sea. The cargo ship was obviously blown away by the wind and waves on the sea and deviated from its original route.
This was not a big deal, because the warships had already rescued many small boats from Silla or other small countries when they were sailing on the sea, but the difference this time is that the people they rescued were all blondes and blue-eyed people.
I have never seen this blond and blue-eyed man in the Tang Dynasty. If it were in the past, it would have been killed directly and thrown into the sea as a monster.
However, before Zhang Chong went to Japan, Li Qing had already told Zhang Chong about this blonde and blue-eyed man. According to the popular science news between Li Qing and Zhang Chong, there were more countries on the sea farther away from the Tang Dynasty and Japan, and the people living there were blonde and blue-eyed man. The reason why Li Qing asked Zhang Chong to practice the navy on the bridgehead of Japan was that he was doing these blonde and blue-eyed man.
So after the soldiers reported the news to Zhang Chong, although Zhang Chong could not understand what the bird songs said in the mouths of these surviving people meant. In the end, after a lot of effort, he could only use gestures to communicate with the other party, but he still raised these people and informed Li Peng of the news.
Li Yi also replied to Zhang Chong at that time, telling him that he would never kill these people, and first observe whether there are any infectious diseases. If everything is normal, bring these people together when he returns to the Tang Dynasty next time.
Li Neng had never mentioned this to anyone before. After all, there were many uncertainties in it. However, after Guo Ziyi went there, Li Neng knew that his Tang Dynasty should be time to change, at least he had to have a goal. Now this goal is delivered immediately, and it is time for him to show off with his confidants.
"Your Majesty, this blond and blue-eyed man is the one you mentioned to us before, who is from Datang Yuan Ge Chongyang?"
After reading the letter, everyone looked up and looked at Li Yi with some doubts, and of course some expectations.
"Yes, they are just theirs. Seeing this is true. You may not believe my family's words before. Now that their shipbuilding technology can bring them to us, I think their warships may appear on the sea of the Tang Dynasty in less than a few years. I wonder if you want our Tang Dynasty warships to appear on their sea, or want their warships to appear on the sea of the Tang Dynasty?"
After Li Yan finished speaking, his eyes scanned and everyone found that Li Yan had changed his peace in recent years today, and his eyes were a little sharper than before.
"Of course, we won't let the enemy's warships appear on the sea of our Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty simply wants to use this matter to cheer up the soldiers? I agree with this matter. When I return to the Beiya, I will let the imperial guards know about this matter first, and see if they dare to slack off!"
The first person to respond was Chen Zhibao. The imperial guards should have been the most elite secret force in the Tang Dynasty. He had already been holding back his energy as the Dragon Martial Army's combat effectiveness became worse year by year in recent years.
