After thinking about it, with his safety guaranteed, Li Ke took out his pen, found a piece of paper and wrote a few words, which were addressed to Yuelai Trading Company and the veterans, "I believe in you, so I The safety is left to you."
Li Ke didn't say anything extra nonsense, these few words were enough.
Trust is the most powerful language!
After writing these words, Li Ke stamped his personal seal on it, folded it, stuffed it into an envelope and handed it to Chang Lin, asking him to send it out.
As for the sealing paint, Li Ke didn't do it at all. He wasn't afraid of others seeing it.
But such behavior felt inexplicably touching in Chang Lin's eyes.
If it was daily government affairs and other matters, forget it, but this was obviously a private matter related to His Highness, and it should be very important. After all, it was sent in at such a late hour, but His Highness had no intention of avoiding him.
Can Chang Lin not be moved? Think about it, His Highness never seems to shy away from him on anything, even if some remarks reach the ears of others, they may cause trouble to His Highness. If they reach His Majesty's ears, they may bring trouble to His Highness. He slapped a military stick, but His Highness never avoided him.
This is a kind of trust and magnanimity. What His Highness does is always upright and he is never afraid of others knowing.
This is His Highness King Qin. Although he is a bit reckless, he is more magnanimous than many people.
His Highness has never been shady, nor has he used any conspiracies or the like. He has always been an upright conspiracy, and what he has done has never shied away from even those who disagree with his political views.
This is what is called a gentleman!
Chang Lin bent down to salute, then took the things and went out. He had to deliver this letter in person, he would not read it, but Chang Lin would not leave this kind of loophole to other young eunuchs.
It's not like there are no people among the little eunuchs who have connections with outsiders.
Li Ke naturally saw the changes in Lao Chang's attitude and expression. Hey, isn't this the effect we want? Isn't it nice to do it casually, kill two birds with one stone, and win over people's hearts at the same time?
Although I never thought about doing anything bad by winning over these people's hearts, it is precisely because of this that these people's hearts will play a vital role at certain times.
After Lao Chang delivered the letter, Li Ke went straight to bed. Since there was no need to worry about his own safety, let's leave it to the people from Yuelai Trading Company. He believed in the abilities of these soldiers.
Li Ke had no intention of informing Lao Li. If Lao Li knew about this matter, he might not directly order people to kill Goguryeo. The time is not ripe now. He will tell him after all these people are dealt with. Lao Li is fine.
Tian Meng was waiting outside the palace. As the steward of His Highness King Qin, curfews naturally had no impact on him. Of course, Tian Meng couldn't run around, there had to be a suitable reason.
The question is, who allowed Li Ke to supervise the country now? In theory, Li Ke now supervises the country and has the right to mobilize all the troops of the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an.
After all, the Imperial Seal was still in Li Ke's hand, and Lao Li didn't even confiscate it.
After receiving the letter sent by Chang Lin personally, Tian Meng thanked him in a low voice. Chang Lin smiled and shook his head: "Serve His Highness, as you should." Chang Lin didn't say anything more and went back directly.
The guard behind Tian Meng brought the lantern over, and Tian Meng opened the letter. When he saw the content inside, Tian Meng fell silent.
His Highness trusts them, but can they live up to this trust?
Tian Meng didn't know, but he knew that this letter should be read to the soldiers, to the people in the trading house, and to everyone who believed in His Highness.
After a night of silence, Li Ke slept very comfortably. For him, what happened last night didn't take it to heart at all. If the intelligence had been controlled to this point and others could escape, it would be impossible for the Tang Dynasty to be established. , those government soldiers had been killed on the battlefield long ago, and it was impossible for them to survive.
What's more, these retired soldiers now have armor equipped by Li Ke.
These armors are the latest ones provided by Li Ke. They have been reported, so there is no problem. These retired veterans usually don't wear them, but they will naturally wear them when fighting.
Of course, apart from armor, it is naturally impossible for weapons to fall.
These armors are no longer Mingguang Armor. The production of Mingguang Armor is quite difficult. Although its protective capabilities are good, due to the armor pieces, the complex process and production time of Mingguang Armor make it not so cost-effective.
The new armor made by Li Ke is plate armor. To be precise, it is a combination of plate armor and bright light armor.
Many people have misunderstandings about plate armor, thinking that plate armor is heavier than armor such as Mingguang Armor, but this is not the case. In many parts of Mingguang Armor, the armor pieces are stacked because of the need to consider protection and flexibility. In this case, they are the same. With the same protective area and thickness, Mingguang armor is actually heavier than plate armor.
Of course, if it is the kind of hard-shell plate armor that uses a lobster body structure to connect the whole body, including armor on the feet, the weight is indeed more than that of the Mingguang Armor.
But after Li Ke thought about it again and again, he still gave up making armor similar to European white armor, or full body armor, because it was unnecessary.
Their enemy's weapons are not that strong, so there is no need to make armor with such super protective capabilities.
As for firearms, muskets, etc., that is probably something that needs to be considered in the long run. It depends on the development progress of Datang before Li Ke decides whether to take it out.
Many people think that he has a complete set of industrial process books in his mind. If he takes it out, it will not be a problem to produce a World War I musket within two or three years.
Putting aside the issue of whether the knowledge of the entire society can keep up, if we really want to concentrate our efforts on it, it will indeed not be a problem. However, once some things are taken out, they cannot be hidden anymore.
But looking at the development of human society, you will gradually find a pattern. When you are too far ahead of your enemies, this lead will accelerate the collapse of the country and fail to achieve the goal you want.
Li Ke concentrated his efforts for three years and was able to create a World War I-era rifle unit of 5,000 people, and the bullets could definitely keep up. He can definitely sweep the world, but when you have no opponents and enemies, and after Li Ke's death, you will find that the Tang Dynasty collapsed much faster than in history.
Because when a country shows a crushing victory over its surroundings, and this crushing victory is only because of a high-quality weapon, it will lead to a situation.
Looking around the world, there are no enemies. What should we do when there are no enemies? Infighting.
