Li Yi's parade began at the beginning of February of the second year of Wude and lasted for eight months, ending at the end of September. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info his footprints are all over the places under the rule of the Tang Dynasty today.

At the beginning of February, Li Yi set off from Jicheng, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to the east through Yuyang, Youbeiping, and Liaoxi to Liaodong, and then entered the Korean Peninsula in later generations, and then entered the Northeast Plain. Then enter Jizhou from Huguan, and finally return to Jicheng.

In the past eight months, some of Li Yi's people traveled throughout the Tang Dynasty, traveling more than 100,000 miles, which was several times more than the 25,000-mile Long March of the Red Army in later generations. That is, after Li Yi occupied these areas, he has been committed to improving the traffic situation in these areas, not only repairing the galloping roads that have been abandoned for many years, but also opening up many new roads.

It can be said that in the past 20 years, under Li Yi's rule, in addition to the cost of the army, the cost of road construction far exceeded that of others.

Even, if the funds used for road construction were used to build an army, Li Yi would be able to raise half more troops.

Of course, the road traffic system created by Li Yi with such great effort also played a huge role in the process of Li Yi's conquest of the world. Li Yi's army was always able to pass through these roads and reach the front line as quickly as possible. The transportation of military rations was also much smoother because of these road systems, which also strongly supported the fighting of the Northern Frontier Army.

Today, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, the official roads connecting various places can allow ordinary people to travel 200 miles (50 kilometers) smoothly in a day. If there were carriages and carriages, it would not be a dream to travel 500 miles (125 kilometers) a day, or more. As long as it is under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, even in the most remote places, as long as there are horses, they can reach Jicheng, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, within twenty days.

Even, if we can borrow the power of the government and travel day and night, this period can be shortened to about five days.

During Li Yi's inspection of the world, he not only inspected the government affairs of various places, but also attached great importance to the defense of the army, especially in some places in the south bordering Shu Han and Eastern Wu. Since ancient times, power came out of the barrel of a gun, and his own world was defeated by powerful force, and Li Yi attached more importance to the army than anyone else.

No, after Li Yi returned to Jicheng and dealt with the accumulated government affairs a little, he immediately decided to inspect the army.

………………

In October of the second year of Wude, Li Yi came to the garrison of the Imperial Forest Army thirty miles away from Jicheng.

The Imperial Forest Army of the Tang Dynasty was composed of the previous personal guard corps as the backbone, plus some elites drawn from the major infantry regiments, with a scale of 60,000 people, including 24,000 infantry and 36,000 cavalry.

Jicheng, Guangyang County, Youzhou, "Linshuiwei", is the station of the Tang Imperial Forest Army. This "Linshui Wei" is like the "Tianjin Wei" in later generations, which is the acropolis of Jicheng. This acropolis with a radius of more than ten miles was the most important military garrison of the Tang Dynasty.

24,000 infantry of the 60,000 Imperial Forest Army were stationed in the city for a long time, while 36,000 cavalry were stationed in Linshuiwei to rush to the aid of the capital at any time.

Thirty-six thousand iron horsemen stretched for miles along the right side of the Acropolis Avenue and lined up with six huge formations. The three-pointed and two-edged knife that kills the enemy has been replaced by a ceremonial warfight. This heavy weapon was held as if it were nothing in the hands of a warrior, and although it was a ceremonial weapon, the handle of the blade was fluttering with ribbons, but it was still sharp. The tip of the blade is straight to the sky, glowing with brilliance.

When Li Yi's royal car appeared, the soldier's cold and resolute eyes showed fanaticism.

Li Yi walked out of the dragon chariot, and the end of the endless army formation seemed to be connected to the sky, with a sharp edge, and a breeze with a murderous aura came to his face.

This is the most powerful legion in the Tang Kingdom, and it only belongs to Emperor Wude's Imperial Forest Legion. But as long as the spear in the king's hand is pointed, these fearless warriors will win glorious victories for their great leader.

"Take my drape!"

Li Yi threw down the dragon robe, changed into dark armor, carried the overlord gun, and rode on the white dragon horse. This horse, which has accompanied Li Yi for more than 20 years, has entered the twilight of life, and it has become a little old in recent years, and Li Yi rarely goes into battle in person, so it has rarely appeared in front of the world. But Lao Ji is still ambitious. At this moment, when Li Yi straddled its back, the blood engraved in its bones burned, and the white dragon horse's hooves soared into the air, looking up to the sky and hissing.

Looking at the white dragon horse that was hissing in the sky, the iron cavalry of the Royal Forest Army was boiling, and the cry of long live shook the sky.

Li Yi patted the old man's head, and the white dragon horse gradually quieted down.

Li Yi began to review the army, he rode his horse in front, Yue Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao, Gao Zhong and other generals behind.

Where Li Yi rode his horse, the soldiers in the phalanx dismounted and bowed, shouting long live, and the cry shook the sky.

After entering the city, Li Yi began to inspect the garrison of the Royal Forest Legion.

The officer in charge of guidance introduced Li Yi: "Your Majesty, this is the soldier's barnhouse. Take the team as a unit, round off five people! ”

After Li Yi walked in, he saw a bunk, the bedding was neatly placed next to the wall, and the barracks were spacious and sunny. In ancient times, the conditions for dozens of people to live in one room were already quite good, and Li Yi was very satisfied.

On a whim, he moved over a futon and spread it out.

Yue Fei and the other generals suddenly became nervous, not knowing what the emperor was going to do at this time.

I saw that after Li Yi recalled slightly, his hands became knives, and he cut and cut lines on the futon, and then folded and folded, and after a while, the typical "tofu block" of later generations took shape.

The generals were confused, and even if the ministers of military aircraft had the highest IQ, they were a little confused at the moment, and their minds were full of question marks: What does the emperor mean? Dissatisfied?

You look at me, people, and I look at you.

After seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Li Yi smiled slightly and began to fold another bed. Practice makes perfect, and Li Yi quickly folded all five pairs of bedding into "tofu blocks".

"I see!"

Everyone looked at the five quilts lined up, the rigorous and uniform style revealed an invisible force, and everyone showed an expression of sudden realization.

Li Yi said: "Housekeeping work is ordinary and not ordinary. Through a small housekeeping, it is possible to see whether a soldier is qualified or not. Uniformity and iron discipline are not only on the battlefield, not when we meet me, but from these little things, these small details. In this way, it will be possible to train truly qualified soldiers. ”

Li Yi said forcefully: "A real soldier is to eat and fold quilts, and he must be neat and uniform, and he must also obey the command!" ”

In the end, he said earnestly to his generals and his advisers: "Starting from daily life, this can cultivate soldiers who obey the command and have iron laws, do you understand? ”

"Start with the little things you do!" The generals were stunned, "Even the sages and great military masters can't compare with the emperor!" ”

"Hurry up, write down all the emperor's words, write them down!"

So a clerk took out a small notebook and wrote it down.

Li Yi used the folded quilts of later generations to shock his generals and ministers.

In the past, Li Yi didn't think about this matter, but the past was different from today, and Li Yi's position was also different, so he didn't use this matter to ask the soldiers.

Nowadays, although there is still no unification between the land of Bashu and the land of Jiangdong, the large-scale war has basically ended, and it is about to enter a period of peace.

Because of Li Yi's words, from then on, the Tang army began to be strict with itself in places other than military training. The strict discipline and orderly actions in daily life made the Tang Army the only army that truly possessed iron discipline in this era.

When many soldiers were discharged, they still maintained the style of life in the barracks. Gradually, the first impression of the people of the Tang Dynasty on the Tang Army was the rigorous style of gestures. When you haven't been a soldier, you can see it at a glance.

Li Yi inspected the armory again, and took out a weapon at the corner, which was still sharp, obviously, these weapons were not placed here at will, but were often taken out and wiped.

At noon, Li Yi walked into the room, and a room was responsible for eating and drinking for 100 people.

The masters didn't expect the emperor to come to the back kitchen, so they hurriedly fell to the ground, and suddenly white flour dust flew.

"Is this a face?" Li Yi picked up a piece of cake on the board and said.

The guy was shocked, and said in his heart that the legend said that the emperor didn't know what to eat, what to eat, but he didn't expect Emperor Wude to know about "making noodles"!

He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, eating dead dough cakes is not good for your health, and we have always made noodles here." ”

Li Yi nodded, and picked up a steamed cake, the staple food at this time was flour cake. Dian Wei on the side hurriedly used his eyes, and a personal guard walked over cautiously, cut off a piece with a silver spoon and put it in his mouth.

Li Yi shook his head in his heart, and said in his heart that it was really troublesome to be an emperor. He originally intended to abolish this system of testing drugs and food, but for the sake of future generations, this system still cannot be abolished.

After taking a bite, I found that the cake was coarse and hard to chew, and it was not as soft as the steamed buns of later generations.

Since there is dough, why not steam a pot of steamed buns to come out. So, under the frightened gaze of everyone, Li Yi rolled up his sleeves, rubbed a raw steamed bun from the ready-made noodles, and then said: "This is called a steamed bun, which is similar to the shape of a human head, and it comes out in a pot." ”

The emperor wants to eat steamed buns, which is a big thing, so the masters are busy.
