Li Shimin walked out, and Li Ke naturally greeted Queen Changsun and the others before following him out.
After he came out, Li Shimin squinted his eyes and saw: "Tell me, what do you want to say? How do you want to quibble."
"Dad, I'm not making excuses. I really have something to tell you. Where's the eldest brother? Ask him to come over." Li Ke's expression was serious.
Seeing Li Ke's expression, Li Shimin was a little unsure for a moment, but he still nodded and said, "They are nearby, let's go over."
Taking Li Ke with him, before entering the palace next door, Li Ke saw a few people squeezing out of the next room. Looking at Jinyang and the others who came out, Li Shimin said angrily: "You guys The little guy knows how to feel sorry for your third brother, why don't you feel sorry for your father and me? Don't worry, dad won't hit him today."
"Hey, Aye, Aye, I don't love third brother. Sizi loves you the most. Sizi's favorite person is Aye. A few of us just want to go to the queen to get some fruits, and then we are going to follow Sister Changle and the others are playing werewolf." Jinyang chuckled, then ran over and said coquettishly to Li Shimin.
"You are just a clever little kid. Go ahead and play. I'll talk to your eldest brother, third brother and fourth brother about something." Although Li Shimin knew that Jinyang was lying, he still squatted down and scratched his head. He scratched her nose and said, "When will you get the fruit? It's up to the princess to go there in person."
"Yeah, yeah." Jin Yang nodded quickly, then winked at Li Ke, made a face at Li Ke, and then turned around and ran away.
After Jin Yang left, Li Ke followed Li Shimin into the next room. As expected, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were here, drinking tea.
Seeing Li Ke and Li Shimin coming in, they both stood up.
Chang Lin brought another cup of tea to Li Shimin. Li Shimin sat down on the chair next to him and said in a neutral tone: "Tell me, what do you want to say?"
"My son is actually testing a weapon." Li Ke said with a serious face.
"Weapons?" Li Shimin didn't believe this. He looked at Li Ke with a strange expression. Only you can make up such nonsense.
"Ahem, that father, eldest brother, third brother, oh, I have a headache. I'm not interested in these, so I'm leaving first. I'm going to play with Jinyang and the others." Li Tai stood up and quickly said a word Just ran away.
Seeing Li Tai's strong figure leaving the room, the three of them were somewhat speechless.
Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the room. Only the devil wants to listen to these things. If he listens too much, shouldn't he be allowed to deal with government affairs? It's still suitable for me to go play Werewolf with Changle and the others, tsk tsk, it's really good.
Li Tai happily ran to Changle's room.
Li Shimin in the room looked at Li Ke and said speechlessly: "Look at what you have done to Qingque, you have gone too far."
"That's too much. Isn't that a normal thing?" Li Ke was speechless, as if you, dad, were not involved. Aren't you the one who hinted at many officials from the three provinces? Although you didn't say it directly, you hinted that it had something to do with me.
Li Chengqian was speechless. Why do you think I am the one who suffers from this? I won't be able to survive in the end?
"Okay, let's talk, what weapon are you testing?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and said.
"The weapon used to deal with heavy cavalry." Li Ke said, "It's armored cavalry."
"That's all?" Li Shimin's expression became a little serious.
Heavy cavalry, in fact, there have always been heavy cavalry in the East Asian monster room. China has used heavy cavalry far more than the West since ancient times. For example, Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, these are armored cavalry.
During the Wu Hu Chaos period, it was a world of armored cavalry. For example, the Xuanjia Army that my father became famous for was also armored cavalry, that is, heavy cavalry.
Li Ke didn't know about the other cavalry, but taking the Xuanjia Army as an example, their whole bodies were covered with Mingguang armor, and their horses were also armored. They were all equipped with heavy Tang knives, spears, and bows. The Tang knives in their hands should be those of later generations. One of several Tang Dynasty knives described.
This heavy Tang sword is not as big as Mo Dao, Zhan Ma Dao, etc., but it is wider and longer than the regular Tang Heng Dao.
All Xuanjia soldiers are top-notch in terms of riding skills, body, and martial arts. It is no exaggeration to say that this thing is made of money.
Ever since my father's 3,000 Xuanjia troops defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 enemy troops, he relied on heavy cavalry.
"Yes, it is mainly aimed at Goguryeo. You should know that there are actually many former Xianbei, Qianyan and other ethnic minorities in Goguryeo, and Goguryeo itself also has many heavy cavalry." Li Ke said, now around the Tang Dynasty The enemy that can take advantage of it is Goguryeo.
Goguryeo is not Goryeo, Silla is Goryeo.
Goguryeo was a powerful dynasty in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula and most of the northeastern region in later generations. It incorporated several powerful nomadic peoples during the Five Husties and the Chinese Period.
For example, Xianbei is the Yan dynasty. In fact, Tuyuhun is also one of them. The place where Dayan started is in the northeast, in Youzhou. Later, the leaders of Xianbei and Dayan moved westward and went to Tuyuhun, so Murong Fu It’s true that Yun is indeed of royal blood.
When Murong Ke, Xianbei's first-generation god general, established Qianyan, he took out Xianbei's secret weapon: heavy armored cavalry and chain horses!
Although the chain horse comes from the later "Water Margin", in fact, the description and use of the chain horse in "Water Margin" are wrong.
"Zizhi Tongjian·Jin Ji" records that Murong Ke took out the heavy armored cavalry: 5,000 Xianbei people who were good at shooting were selected, chained up with iron chains, and marched forward for Fang Chen.
This is the origin of the chain horse. In fact, the chain horse is not the one described in "Water Margin" or many later works, where the war horses are connected with iron locks. Anyone who has some experience in using troops or has played cavalry will not behave like this like a fool.
Together, as long as one war horse is shot to death, or the horse stumbles, the entire cavalry team is doomed. What fool would play like this?
Chain horse refers to linking people and horses with iron locks so that they will not fall off the horse during high-speed movement, thereby achieving effects such as stable riding and shooting. Because at this time, double-sided hard stirrups had not yet been invented, although this method would restrain the knight and reduce the knight's flexibility.
Of course, the biggest advantage of doing this is that in an era without stirrups, it is the fastest way to quickly build an armored cavalry unit, and it is also a helpless move. Otherwise, to establish an excellent armored cavalry unit, it will take a long time just to train the cavalry.
At that time, Xianbei had 5,000 heavy armors, and Goguryeo inherited a lot of Xianbei and other legacies. Goguryeo had a lot of heavy cavalry throughout the country. Otherwise, why did the Sui Dynasty never annihilate Goguryeo, and if the Tang Dynasty did not? According to Li Ke, it was only in the hands of Li Zhi that Goguryeo was completely defeated.
Therefore, when Li Ke mentioned Goguryeo, Li Shimin took it seriously, because Goguryeo has always been arrogant towards the Tang Dynasty.
