Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Morning above.

Li Er didn't tell Li Tai's arrest in front of civil and military officials. On the one hand, he felt that it was his family affair, and there was no need to tell it at the court meeting. On the other hand, about Li Tai's arrest He has already done everything he can to get arrested. Whether he can rescue Li Tai now depends entirely on Li Junxian's personal ability. How much help!

The main topic of the morning court today was the issue of 150,000 soldiers from various prefectures entering Beijing for training.

"...Shangzhou, Puzhou, Ningzhou, Liangzhou, Qizhou, Qingzhou and other twelve prefectures, Zhechong Prefecture, more than 8,000 elite soldiers from the selected prefectures have arrived outside Chang'an City and set up camp in the area of ​​Niushou Mountain! The camp in the south of the city is expected to be completed in two days, and then all the soldiers from all over the country will be able to move into the camp! In other prefectures and counties far from Chang'an City, the elite soldiers selected by the local Zhechong Prefecture They are all on the way, and they will arrive at Chang’an City in a few days!”

The Minister of War, Li Jing, was reporting to Li Er on the progress of the entry of 150,000 elite soldiers into the capital at the Taiji Hall.

Previously, the fundraising conference held by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce in Lantian County was a great success beyond expectations. A total of 428,500 military funds were raised for the imperial court. With the money, the Ministry of Household was finally released. Working together with the Ministry of Works, they recruited civilians and craftsmen, and worked day and night to build camps for the 150,000 troops who were about to enter Beijing. The progress was nearly double the previous rate!

"Well! Pharmacist Lao has to worry about the settlement of these soldiers!"

After listening to Li Er, he nodded expressionlessly, and instructed: "Since the soldiers from various governments have come to Chang'an City one after another, those who arrive first will be trained first. The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will take longer than we expected. It will only be sooner rather than later, you must hurry up with the pharmacist and the uncle, so that the elite soldiers from all over the country can form a combat force as soon as possible!"

Li Er wanted to attack the Turks for a long time. If Wu Jie’s infiltration into the Yanhuang Academy to steal materials was just a catalyst, then the Turkic spies kidnapped Li Tai last night, which is equivalent to setting a gunpowder keg directly. Those Turkic spies have already touched Li Tai. Er's inverse scales, after all, if a man can't even protect his wife and children, then he is still a man, let alone Li Er is not an ordinary man, he is an emperor, but also a king of a country!

When the emperor was angry, he buried millions of corpses and bleed thousands of miles!

Now Lao Li is extremely eager to attack the Turks, but because the logistics are not fully prepared and the Northern Expedition army is still lacking in training, Li Ercai has to push the date of the national war to two months later!

"Old minister obeys!"

Li Jing and Qin Qiong could hear the urgency in Li Er's tone, and upon hearing the words, they stepped forward and clasped their fists.

Previously, Li Er appointed Li Jing as the chief general of the 150,000 soldiers, and Qin Qiong as the general. They were respectively responsible for the Nissan management and training of the army.

After a pause, Li Jing showed hesitation, and after several hesitations, he still clasped his fists to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers from various governments who have recently arrived in Chang'an City should have soldiers and horses from Bingzhou, but the old minister got news that it was Taiyuan. The gates of the city have been closed for the past few days, and no one can enter or leave the city, so the troops and horses from Bingzhou may not be able to reach Chang'an in the past few days!"

Taiyuan seals the city!

Hearing this news from Li Jing's mouth, the court officials couldn't help but be shocked. At this time, they recalled that there were no soldiers from Bingzhou among the twelve soldiers and horses that arrived outside Chang'an. Logically speaking, this is inappropriate! Because the distance between Bingzhou and Chang'an City is closer than many of the twelve states! Now that Li Jing said that Taiyuan was closed, everyone was stunned at first, and then shocked!

Taiyuan City is the largest city in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty. Why was the city closed for no reason? What the hell is going on there?

Li Er, who was sitting at the top, changed his expression slightly, but soon returned to normal. He said lightly: "For now, don't worry about the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou! A few days ago, a large number of Turkic spies were found in Taiyuan City, and I have sent hundreds of cavalry to go there. Taiyuan was arrested, so the entire city in Taiyuan City is under martial law these few days, and after the storm is calmed down, the soldiers in Taiyuan City will naturally come to Chang'an!"

"Turkic spies?"

Hearing this, the courtiers in the hall couldn't help being shocked, and they talked a lot below.

Li Er was unwilling to say anything more on this topic, he coughed lightly, signalling the courtiers to be quiet, a glint of light flashed in the corner of Li Jing's eyes, as if he understood what Li Er meant, he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Old minister obeys the order!

Li Er nodded, then looked at the team of civil servants on the left side of the court, and asked in a deep voice:

"Xiao Aiqing, how are the provisions for the 150,000 soldiers in the next three months?"

As the saying goes, the troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass will go first. Although the vast majority of the 150,000 soldiers are still on the way, the court must prepare food and grass for them at least three months in advance! And the Tang court, which had just received huge sums of money from the fund-raising conference, does have this confidence and strength now!

"Go back to your majesty! About 70% of the food and grass needed by the army have been prepared. Before the 150,000 army arrives in Chang'an City, all preparations will be completed!"

Xiao Yu calmly stepped forward and cupped his hands.

The Ministry of Household is not short of money now, and the efficiency of doing things is nothing to say, so Xiao Yu, the steward of the Great Tang treasury, speaks more confidently now than before!

"very good!"

Li Er nodded with satisfaction, then turned his eyes and looked at the ministers with a serious look:

"Two months later, the imperial court will march north to attack the grasslands. At that time, not only will the 300,000-strong army formed by the major battalions in the capital be the main force, but this elite army from the Tang states will also be the main force in the northern expedition!

Before "Datang Daily"

There is a sentence above that I think is very well said. The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of all people. At the previous fundraising conference in Lantian County, those merchants and ordinary people in the market all had national righteousness in mind and were willing to give generously to the imperial court and the Turks in the Northern War. The public is full of reading the books of the sages, ranks in the imperial class, and eats the salary of the country, so he should put all his energy into preparing for the imperial court's northern expedition!

In the past two months, I hope that all the officials of the Sixth Division of the Imperial Court can put aside all their selfish thoughts and concentrate on making preparations for the Northern Expedition Army before the expedition. Next level in a month!

In this battle, only victory is allowed, but no defeat is allowed. If you win, the ministers will continue to be prosperous and rich. If you lose, your country will be destroyed and your family will be destroyed! "

As soon as the words "the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed" came out, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became a little nervous. Li Er did not deliberately roar, but every word he said was sonorous and resounding. In every corner of the hall, all the officials in the hall did not move, and all the officials bowed down in unison:

"The ministers and others obey the order, and they must be exhausted to prepare for the battle against the Turks!"
