Hao Chujun stroked Su Dawei's beard and said: "Ma Zheng's matter, let Xitai Shilang talk to you, and the old man can take a rest." ”

Su Dawei's gaze looked at Shangguanyi.

To be honest, he is not familiar with Hao Chujun, but Shangguan Yi, this name, Su was very impressed.

Because he has a very famous daughter, Shangguan Wan'er.

The right-hand man of Wu Zetian's side in the future.

After meeting Shangguanyi last time, Su Dawei was still very interested, and after returning to Ducha Temple, he transferred this file.

As a result, Shangguan Wan'er was just born, less than a year old.

Belch......

For such a small little Lori, Su Dawei could only die of his heart, not thinking about being able to subdue Shangguan Wan'er for his own use.

However, having said that, Shangguan Yi is fifty-six years old, and he is actually old and strong, and he is old and female, which makes people have to be convinced.

Shangguan Yi's age is considered young among these ministers.

His face was thin, but his eyes were sharp.

Xiang Su Dawei bowed slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Su Shaoqing is in the army, he cares about the military, and the matter of Ma Zheng is not simple, but it is not complicated. ”

Zhang ...... Banzai? ”

Su Dawei's tongue was slightly knotted, and he always felt that this name was a little too arrogant, wasn't it.

A courtier, claiming long live in front of the Son of Heaven, is a bit of that.

But after thinking about it, on the occasion of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was still a long live history.

It seems that the word "long live" was not taboo in the Tang Dynasty.

Shangguan Yi held the wat board behind him in one hand, paced slightly, and muttered: "When my Tang Dynasty raised troops in Gaozu Jinyang, there was a serious shortage of horses, and later I had 2,000 Turkic horses and 3,000 Sui horses, so I barely formed a cavalry army.

It was not until two years after Gaozu established the Tang Dynasty that there were more than 30,000 war horses.

With the situation at the time, it was really a bit stretched.

But this situation began to improve after Zhang Wansui took over horse breeding. ”

Shangguan Yi squinted at Su Dawei, and there was something indescribable in his eyes.

This Su Dawei is known as a rising general in the army.

But he didn't know anything about Ma Zheng, and he didn't know much about recruiting soldiers and government soldiers, such a confused person really made people wonder how he fought those battles on the battlefield.

With a twist of thought, Shangguan Yi lightly stroked the three strands of long beard under his chin, and continued to say unhurriedly: "Zhang Wansui was not originally born in horse breeding, he, like Wei Chigong, is from the border area of Shuozhou, and he is also a subordinate of Gao Wuzhou.

At that time, he encouraged Liu Wuzhou to raise troops.

It was at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he beheaded Wang Rengong when Ma Yi was too guarded by Wang Rengong, so as to force Liu Wuzhou to cause trouble. ”

Mayi is probably the later Shuozhou City of Shanxi.

Meng Tian once built a city here, which belonged to Yanmen County, close to the Hu people in the grassland, and was the front line of the Central Plains against the Hu people.

In the second year of Emperor Guangyuan of the Han Dynasty, he planned a battle of annihilation against the Xiongnu here.

Unfortunately, the news leaked and it was not completed.

As for Wang Rengong, he is not an ordinary person.

Wang Rengong, the character Yuanshi, Tianshui Tairen.

A famous general at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the son of Wang Meng, the assassin of Shanzhou.

History is known as fortitude and prudence, skilled in bow and horse, once followed Yang Su in battle, and repeatedly made military achievements.

Deeply won the trust and love of Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang.

The eastern expedition to Liaodong and the northern resistance to the Turks are quite famous.

Worship as a general, Zuo Guanglu doctor, later moved to the hussar general, and even moved to the horse Yi Taishou.

It is a pity that such a famous general died at the hands of Zhang Wansui.

Su Dawei thought of this, and was suddenly solemn.

Don't dare to despise this long live.

Zhang Wanzai later defected to Taizong with Yu Chigong, and Yu Chigong became a fierce general who charged into battle, but Zhang Wanzai devoted himself to breeding horses and expanding horse farms.

Since Zhang Wansui was in charge of the horse administration, the imperial court established a horse ranch in Longxi, divided thousands of miles of land to capital, the horse farm was divided into eight squares and forty-eight prisons, and there were only more than 10,000 horses in the horse farm at the beginning.

Today, Su Shaoqing knows that our Datang horse farm, how many good horses are there? ”

"Uh, I don't know."

Although Su Dawei's Ducha Temple is an intelligence department, it is mainly aimed at people.

When will there be that leisure to pay attention to the horse farm of Datang.

As for the use of troops, Datang has a complete logistics system, and Su Dawei doesn't have to think about the issue of war horses at all.

Just think about how to fight, you can crush the enemy.

People's energy is always limited, and the army has its own system, so Su Dawei asked himself if he could do everything.

He rose through the ranks too quickly, and his time in the army was too short.

"Then the old man told Su Shaoqing this number."

Shangguan Yi stretched out his right hand, spread his five fingers, paused for a moment, and then stretched out two fingers.

Su Dawei was stunned for a moment, and replied to him with a "V" gesture.

"Xitai Shilang is saying that we have 520,000 war horses in Datang?"

"No, now, we have war horses, 700,000 and 6,000."

After Shangguan Yi finished speaking, his face showed pride.

And Xu Jingzong and Hao Chujun on the side also looked tolerant.

This, of course, is something to be proud of.

From the founding of the country to less than a few thousand horses, to now, forty years are like a flick of a finger.

Datang has 700,000 war horses.

What kind of concept is this?

The Tang Dynasty, which was founded on agricultural civilization, has a huge war horse base that is no less than that of the Eastern and Western Turks.

It is precisely because of this powerful base that Datang can have a steady stream of cavalry.

It is also an important factor in the strength of the Tang Army.

The enemies around Datang, even if they are fierce for a while, are far from being Datang's opponents in terms of hard work.

War horses alone are not uncommon for thousands to die in a war.

But Datang has horses, and there is a steady stream.

If you lose something, you can make up for it immediately.

On the other hand, the enemies of the Tang Dynasty may pull their hips immediately after the first battle, and they can only run away in a panic with two legs.

"To fight a war, it is the overall national strength and logistics."

Su Dawei couldn't help but sigh.

Shangguan Yi glanced at him a little seriously, and felt that what he said was to the point.

He bowed his head slightly and said: "Su Shaoqing is really a person who knows the soldiers, this is a good thing." ”

After a pause, he concluded: "Now Su Shaoqing knows why the imperial court wants to abolish the old system of Ma Zhengzhong and making all farmers raise horses, right?" In the past, there was this order, all because of the lack of Datang war horses.

But now, it is the first year of Linde, and I have more than 700,000 war horses in Datang, and it is too narrow to be too narrow in the horse farm with an area of thousands of miles.

What's more, the cost of raising horses is not small, farmers have a lot of difficulty in raising them, and horses are different from cattle and sheep, they need to eat grass constantly, and they will not ruminate, and their fecal acid.

The land that has been encroached upon by horse manure makes it difficult for agricultural crops to grow, and it is very ruined. ”

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yi was silent, gently brushed his long beard, and was slightly self-conscious.

He is familiar with the various political affairs of the empire.

And this person's morale is quite high, and his future career is towards the position of the right minister.

Before knocking down Li Yifu, he also contributed a lot.

Su Dawei was convinced at this time, and first saluted to Shangguan Yi and Hao Chujun and others: "It's Ami who is stupid, thank you Dongtai Shilang and Xitai Shilang for solving my doubts." ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Shangguan Yi's eyes, and he saw Hao Chujun turn sideways slightly to show avoidance.

Only then did he come to his senses, and he also turned sideways, indicating that he was not courteous to Su Dawei.

"It's Your Majesty's life, that's why you explain the imperial court system, Su Shaoqing doesn't have to be like this."

"Yes, the ancients said that the teacher of one word, and the words of the two ministers today have benefited me a lot."

Su Dawei saluted to Shangguan Yi and Hao Chujun: "It turns out that the military is not only the military, but also involves political affairs, people's livelihood and many policies, historical origins, and the environment, which is more complicated than I thought.

Before, it was because my horizons were too narrow. ”

Xu Jingzong, who had been silent, nodded slightly at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was smiling, as if he was approving: "Su Shaoqing can have this insight, it is not only about art, with your strength, you are not an ordinary general, and you may be a pillar of the country in the future. ”

The sedan chair is carried by everyone.

Seeing Li Zhi's attitude, everyone present knew that Li Zhi still took a fancy to Su Dawei.

This son will shine in the future.

Therefore, everyone did not hesitate to raise Su Dawei a little, and it was also considered a good fate.

Otherwise, with the status of the three important ministers present, there is really no need to waste so many lips and tongues for a small character.

After thanking the three of them, Su Dawei once again saluted Li Zhi, and said earnestly: "Ami has little reading and no knowledge, which makes Your Majesty smile, thank Your Majesty for your care." ”

"If only you knew."

Li Zhi finally had a smile on his face: "If you only stare at the front of you, at most you are just a general, if your vision can be enlarged and far, then you are a famous general like Su Dingfang, the god of war." ”

After speaking, Li Zhi seemed to feel that he had said too much.

After a slight pause, he took a sip of the teacup.

After handing the teacup to Wang Fusheng on the side, he gasped slightly, reached out and pinched his eyebrows.

Qiang Zi cheered up and said: "Since this is the case today, let's discuss the matter of Li Yifu by the way, Zhongqing, what do you think?" ”

Su Dawei didn't expect that Li Zhi suddenly jumped the topic to the matter of Li Yifu.

I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart.

He finally knew why the scene of today's conversation was not in Zichen Palace, but in Yanying Palace.

All because the Manchu Dynasty believed that Li Yifu was the person of the Empress Wu.

At the same time, Su Dawei also realized another thing.

That is, I haven't seen Wu Meiniang by Li Zhi's side several times recently.

This is very unusual.

At the beginning, Li Zhi also said that it was to take care of the crown prince Li Hong.

But now that this remark was mentioned, Su Dawei thought of another possibility.

Perhaps, maybe......

Between Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, there is some kind of gap?

That's right, from the Yonghui period to now, in the past ten years, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang can be called the best model couple in the world, and their husbands and wives follow them.

The two of them joined forces and brought down one enemy after another.

firmly grasp the power of the Tang Dynasty in the hands of Li Zhi.

But no matter how good a couple is, it is impossible not to blush for the rest of their lives.

Even if Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang both proclaimed themselves emperors and queens, Li Zhi allowed Wu Meiniang to share his power and handle the government with him.

But that didn't really give up power to Wu Meiniang.

Instead, let Wu Meiniang be his glove, his shadow.

The so-called two holy pilgrimages.

The sun and the moon are beautiful.

Li Zhi is the sun.

All the light on Wu Meiniang's body was brought by Li Zhi.

And if Li Zhi felt that Wu Meiniang had undeserved ambitions.

Li Zhi will never have any mercy.

Not even a hint of emotion.

Because, he is the emperor.

He wants to be the first emperor of the ages who surpasses Taizong.

Under the warmth and tenderness, Li Zhi has the lonely and cold heart of the emperor.
