Li Shimin acted very quickly for his own benefit.
Two billion was soon available.
Wei Zheng also quickly gave all the weapons to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin immediately ordered the weapons to be transported to the front line, and during this period, Wei Zheng also sent people to train them. After all, they did not know how to use some weapons. Take tanks, for example, they did not know how to drive them at all.
This war can only be regarded as a protracted war.
But fortunately, these soldiers are very receptive.
And only ten days have passed. News came back from the front line.
It is said that the Turks in Tingzhou have retreated and are now returning to their old base camp.
The news reached Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
In these ten days, 80% of the time was spent just transporting these weapons. The actual fighting took about two days, and the battles in these two days were in a crushing manner.
Everyone retreated wherever they went. Even if the Turks used city defense, they had no power to parry under the Tang Dynasty's guns.
Therefore, after repeated defeats, they quickly withdrew from the territory of Datang.
Now, the news has spread back to Chang'an.
Li Shimin was very happy after hearing this.
This time, Bai and Li Min finally didn't ask for weapons.
Now, Datang's army is too powerful.
It was so powerful that even the Turks did not dare to fight head-on.
Li Shimin summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the matter.
At this time, everyone said that the Tang Dynasty was powerful.
Li Shimin was naturally happy.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin was on the front line.
There are also some generals who are red-eyed.
"Now that the Turks have retreated back to their territory, what do you think we should do now?"
Li Shimin asked.
He wanted to ask everyone what they meant.
In fact, he already had an idea in his heart.
It’s just that I don’t say it.
At this time, the civil and military officials were divided into two factions. One party thought: stop here and let the Turks pay more money. Presumably they will not dare to invade the Tang Dynasty again!
The other side is the faction dominated by Fang Xuanling.
They believe that since they have already reached here, they should directly destroy the Turks and let this country disappear in this era. In that case, there would never be a Turkic country, and the Tang Dynasty sent people to manage it, which could also allow them to govern themselves.
Li Shimin had an idea about this. He believed that the latter was better. The Tang Dynasty had been fighting with the Turks for who knows how many years. It was time to deal with the Turks.
Letting them disintegrate is the best option.
Otherwise, future generations will definitely be disturbed by them, which Li Shimin cannot agree with.
So he said directly: "The Turks must be disintegrated. This time they must be completely dispersed, divided and conquered, and checked and balanced. Therefore, the army must be prepared for a long war this time."
Li Shimin's meaning is very obvious.
Everyone understands.
Then do it.
How to do it specifically needs to be discussed in the long term, so Li Shimin asked everyone to discuss it together and at the same time asked people to infiltrate the Turks.
We talked like this until the afternoon before we finalized the final plan, and then called Cheng Yaojin directly to implement it.
Then I sent another email.
And asked Cheng Yaojin to strictly follow the email.
Finally, Li Shimin asked: "Since our troops have gone there, what should we do?"
No one understood what he said.
Li Min said with a smile: "Since the war has spread, let's strengthen the defenses at the border with Tubo."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin is really a war wizard.
At this time someone asked: "In what name?"
Fang Xuanling said at this time: "Isn't it easy in name? Just say that in order to prevent the border from being affected, extra troops are sent to consolidate the border. Then the Tubo people can't say anything, right?"
This practice is also dangerous because of what?
Because as long as Li Shimin gives the order, Tubo may be destroyed.
The Tibetans would certainly disagree with this, but any disagreement in the face of artillery shells and tanks would be ridiculous.
"Do you have any objections?" Li Shimin asked again.
At this time everyone was silent.
Li Shimin smiled.
"Since no one has any objections, this matter has been decided."
Li Shimin made such a decision immediately.
And after giving the order, someone quickly implemented it.
As for Li Shimin, he retired very happily.
Then he went to rest in Li Zheng Hall.
But at this time, they saw Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang looking sad.
So, he asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Queen Changsun said: "We went to the Tanglou just now."
When Li Shimin heard about Tanglou, he felt strange. What were they doing there?
"We are going to see the children! The six children are not in the tenement building, and neither are Ruxue and the others." Concubine Yang said again.
"What? Where have they gone."
Li Shimin felt puzzled.
The child is still in school now, why isn't he here?
"We don't know. We asked Wei Zheng, but he didn't say anything. Then we called Min'er, but he hasn't answered the phone yet." Empress Changsun said again.
"Where are these kids? Someone come!"
Li Shimin needs to find out now.
So I called someone.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Check where Li Min's six children went, and ask the school teacher to see if there are other places where they might be."
Li Shimin said so.
"yes!"
At this time, Concubine Yang said: "Maybe it's because Zhen'er asked them to go out to play, that's not sure."
She was worried that Li Shimin might investigate too deeply. If Li Min was doing something, then she might harm Li Min.
That's why she said that.
"I see that you miss him deeply, so I asked you where he went. Maybe I haven't seen my six grandchildren for a long time."
In fact, even Li Shimin also missed his six children.
Every time the child comes into the palace, he will hug him.
To be honest, he still likes these children very much, especially the youngest Zishan.
He favored her even more.
These kids can turn his serious face into instant softness.
These children are also very smart, just like Li Min.
Moreover, he would be tested at a young age.
Sometimes, the questions they ask cannot be answered by themselves, and they can only let others think about them, but they cannot muddle through.
Sometimes, he thought that if these children grew up, they might be the second, third... and seventh Li Min.
One Li Min was already so powerful, but six more would be even more shocking.
How strong will Datang be in the future?
In fact, he also has an idea, that is, let these children take charge of Datang, because they are young.
Being younger than myself, there are more possibilities.
Therefore, when he couldn't find them, he was very anxious.
Finally, under his leadership, everyone began to search for the whereabouts of the child.
But the child could not be found.
Because the news about these children has been blocked by Li Min, no one knows where they have gone.
In addition, Ji Ruxue and six other wives are missing.
When people came back to report, Li Shimin was silent.
"So, where did they go?" he asked.
"Your Majesty, maybe they are working with Min'er, and the child is getting older. He has rarely been with his father. In this case, he and his father are strangers. Ruxue and the others have only been together for a few months in a year. For those who can see their husbands, I think they may be with Min'er." Empress Changsun said.
Concubine Yang also said: "It is indeed possible."
"But we also need to know where they went." Li Shimin said.
Now he wanted to know where the child had gone.
"How about making another call and asking?" Concubine Yang said again.
"Okay, you ask!"
"yes!"
So, Concubine Yang picked up the phone and dialed Li Min's number.
The call was made, and after a long time, Li Min picked up the call.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Li Min had just gotten up at this time because it was still very early.
And there are children screaming next to me.
Concubine Yang was overjoyed.
"Where is the child? Where has he gone? Is he with you?" Concubine Yang asked two questions.
"Yeah, what's wrong? They're with me now."
"Then where have you been? Your aunt and I went to the tenement building early in the morning and couldn't find the child. We were worried to death."
"I didn't go anywhere. It was where I worked. I felt it was necessary to bring them out to see the world, so I let them come out together." Li Min said.
I see.
"We are thinking a lot about when we can come back."
Concubine Yang said again.
At this time, Li Min was silent for a moment.
Then he said: "It's not that fast. It's just starting now, but it will be soon. I will tell you when I get back."
Li Min said this.
Li Shimin was listening on the side, not speaking, just listening very quietly.
"Is that so? What about Ruxue and the others? Are they there too?"
"Yes, they are here too, accompanying their children. They have been receiving intensive education for the past two years, and now it is time for them to be exposed to different things."
What Li Min said was irrefutable.
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but nod after hearing this.
At that time, I was basically let go.
At that time, Li Yuan rarely cared about himself. He was independent, and his knowledge was slowly built up.
It is right to give children enough knowledge now.
"Did you go to the Tanglou to look for it?" Li Min asked.
"Yes, we are all worried to death." Queen Changsun continued.
"It's okay. The kids are fine. How about I let them take photos for you to see today?"
"It would be best if we could see them." Concubine Yang said again.
"Soon, Shengtang Group is researching a new thing, a mobile phone that can realize remote video. In the future, as long as you have a mobile phone, you can see the other party no matter how far away you are, and you can see the other party's words and expressions."
When Li Min said this, Li Shimin became more energetic.
Because of this function, he can do many things and even organize remote work.
From now on, there is no need for everyone to be present for the morning dynasty.
You can even go to court at any time, just operate it on your mobile phone.
If this is the case, the efficiency will immediately increase.
This is a very good thing for Datang.
He really wanted to ask Li Min when he would be fine.
But the problem of face prevented him from opening this mouth.
So he winked at Concubine Yang.
How could Concubine Yang not know what Li Shimin wanted.
At that time, a flashlight could keep him entertained for an entire night.
What about a mobile phone that can communicate with videos?
Today's mobile phones only have the function of shooting, with only rear cameras and no front cameras. This technology is not only required for mobile phones, but also has greater requirements for the network.
Judging from the current scale, there is only 2G, and there is still a long way to go before it is really popularized.
But if it is used on a small scale, it is definitely possible, but the image quality may be a little worse.
But that doesn't affect the use.
So, Concubine Yang asked: "When can that thing be used? We are very eager to know."
Li Shimin leaned closer to listen.
I hope I can hear it from Li Min himself.
"Seventh Brother is at the end of the process. A prototype may come out in a few days. We will test it by then. If it is feasible, I will send a few to you in the palace. If you want a child, then fight with the child. A video.”
When Li Min said this, both Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun became excited.
That would be great.
This is a new revolution.
"That's great, it's really great!" Concubine Yang said, she was very excited.
Why not Li Shimin?
Li Shimin was even more excited. There will be new toys next.
Can you not be excited?
"Yes, it is very good. There will be many technologies coming out in the future, and you will be the first to benefit."
Li Min finally said.
Let your own people use it first, this is Li Min's purpose.
"Okay, just send us the photo of your child."
"Okay, I will send it to your mobile phone. It will take a while. The children are not together yet."
"Okay, okay!"
"Okay, I'm hanging up!"
"good!"
So Li Min hung up the phone.
At this time, Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, are you still investigating?" Queen Changsun asked.
"What to check! There is no need to check. That kid just went out to work and took the children with him, but I still want them to come back as soon as possible, and I also believe them."
Li Shimin said this, and the two of them laughed.
But Queen Changsun still said: "Yes, Your Majesty, we will talk to Min'er."
"Okay, okay, let's leave it at that."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
At this time, Concubine Yang asked: "By the way, what is the situation in Tingzhou?"
"Our army of the Tang Dynasty won a great victory! The Turks were repulsed and now they have withdrawn from Tingzhou, and it only took us one day to let them see how powerful we are."
Empress Changsun added: "This is all thanks to the Shengtang Group. Their weapons are too powerful. If it weren't for them, we might have been able to survive a little longer!"
"Yes, but now the weapon is in my hands.
From now on, we will produce as much as we want. This time the Turks must be dispersed, otherwise there will be a second Turk. "
Li Shimin said very seriously.
He also ordered the Turks to be attacked.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Okay, I'm too tired from the past ten days. You can accompany me for a walk outside."
It turned out that Li Shimin wanted the two of them to accompany him for a walk outside. He had been nervous for the past ten days, but he is fine now.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
