The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 834
"The emperor sent me a letter in his own hand, asking me to serve as the pioneer official of Zhengyin in the west. I don't know how you think this matter should be decided?" Li Tai asked everyone.

"My lord, the emperor's order has never been violated since ancient times. Since the emperor wrote the letter personally to the lord, then the lord has no reason to refuse."

"And the subordinates feel that the position of the pioneer official of Zhengyin in the front is none other than the lord." Liu Rengui stood up and said to Li Tai.

"What Liu Xiang said is very true. This king feels that this matter cannot be evaded. Otherwise, someone with a heart will provoke the relationship between this king and the emperor." Li Tai nodded and said.

"My lord, I don't know how many troops my lord is going to bring with me this time, and whether I will bring new weapons." Xu Liang asked Li Tai.

"I'm afraid the Great Tang will really change after this battle, so we don't need to hide our strength anymore. This king is going to take [-] vanguards to the expedition this time, and all of them will wear the latest weapons."

"And an additional [-] logistics supply troops will be sent to ensure the logistics supply of our army." Li Tai said.

"My lord is wise. Only by destroying these alien races can my lord have time to clean up the Tang rebellion." Liu Rengui said.

Li Tai nodded and said: "All the generals obey the order. The general of the three armies, Luo Song, is in Youzhou to command all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou. Just in case there is any change in the foreign tribes in the north."

"Liu Rengui sits in Youzhou and is responsible for all government affairs. All political affairs in Youzhou are arbitrarily decided by Liu Rengui, and there is no need to report to the king."

"Qin Huaiyu led the iron guards to march with the king, and Xu Liang was the military adviser. Cheng Tieniu, Yuchi Baolin, Yuchi Baoqing, Luo Tong, Luo Huan, Huanan, Xu Tianda, and Gao Kan followed the army."

"Rwanda led 5 horses and was responsible for the supply of food and grass for the entire army. The rest of the generals stayed in Youzhou and obeyed the command of Generalissimo Luo Song."

"Zou Fengchi, this king will give you five days to raise 200 million stones of food and grass for this king. When I send troops five days later, I will take them to Chang'an City."

All the generals got up one after another to receive the order, and then went down to prepare according to Li Tai's arrangement.But Li Tai rushed directly to Tiangong Pavilion.

When Li Tai came to Tiangong Pavilion, everyone was busy busy.Today, the focus of Tiangongge's work is to develop musket-loading muskets.

However, it is only in the initial stage, and no results have been researched yet.And Li Tailai's intention in coming to Tiangong Pavilion was not to urge Gao Ping to speed up the progress of the front-loading smoothbore musket.

Instead, Gao Ping is going to provide a sufficient amount of black powder and lead bullets for musket guns.Because Li Tai exchanged one hundred and eight musket-loading muskets.

Equipped with Luo Huan's armor-breaking army, the armor-breaking army formed Li Tai's first musket battalion.Therefore, the amount of black powder and bullets needed is naturally extremely large.

So even if Gao Ping had enough supplies, it still took two days to prepare the share that Li Tai needed.And personally brought someone to Li Tai's hands.

……

After preparing everything, Li Tai called Luo Huan to his study.And he opened his mouth and said to Luo Huan: "Brother, this king is going to equip the Armor Breaking Army with new weapons."

"Get ready. Gather the Armor Breakers. This king will train them. There are still three days before the cavalry, so the time is still very tight."

"My lord, the armor-piercing army has already mastered the new weapon. There should be no need for training, and it can be used freely." Luo Huan said.

Li Tai took out a muzzle-loading musket from his side, and threw it to Luo Huan casually.And said: "You can recognize what it is."

After Luo Huan read it over and over again, he didn't understand why.So he opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "My lord, although this is somewhat similar to a spear, its shape is too weird."

It turned out that Li Tai installed a three-edged army thorn, the king of cold weapons, on the front end of the front-loading musket.So it looks a bit like a long gun.

"This kind of weapon is called a front-loading musket. It uses gunpowder to shoot out lead bullets, causing fatal damage to the enemy." Then Li Tai explained the front-loading musket to Luo Huan in detail.

After hearing this, Luo Huan couldn't help but see a golden light in his eyes.So he immediately went to assemble the Armor Breaking Army, and according to Li Tai's instructions, gathered the Armor Breaking Army at the special training ground.

This special training ground is the special training ground for Li Tai to test new weapons.Usually, special personnel are responsible for strict guarding, and no one is allowed to enter without Li Tai's personal order.

Luo Huan took Li Tai's handwritten letter and led the armor-breaking army into the special training ground.Not long after, Li Tai also appeared in front of everyone.

Along with Li Tai into the special training ground, there are one hundred and eight rectangular wooden boxes.What is contained in the wooden box is the muzzle-loading musket.

Li Tai said to the armor-breaking army: "This is a new weapon prepared for you by the king. From now on, you have three days to familiarize yourself with them."

"Three days later, the king will raise his troops to Chang'an City, and follow the emperor to the Tubo Kingdom. So there is not much time left for you."

"Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will definitely let all the brothers of the armor-piercing army master the use of this front-loading musket within three days." Luo Huan said to Li Tai.

Luo Huan is not blindly arrogant, but now he has reached the point where he knows how to use the front-loading musket.

Because Li Tai activated Luo Huan's granting function, he gave Luo Huan all the ways of using the front-loading musket.

It's a pity that the armor-breaking army is only Li Tai's subordinates, not Li Tai's retainers.Therefore, this endowed function cannot be used at all, otherwise Li Tai would not have to be so troublesome.

After Li Tai nodded, he ordered Luo Huan to demonstrate the use of the front-loading musket for the armor-breaking army.Let all the armor-piercing army understand the essentials of its operation.

Afterwards, the armor-breaking army began intense training, because Li Tai provided them with a sufficient amount of black powder and bullets, so the progress of the training was very effective.

Li Tai couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.Then he said to Luo Huan: "When marching this time, put this front-loading musket into a wooden box. Remember not to use it lightly without my king's order."

"My lord, don't worry, my subordinates know what to do. Keep the new weapons of the armor-breaking army for the enemy to see and see at critical moments." Luo Huan said excitedly to Li Tai.

After Li Tai nodded reassuringly, he explained a few more words and left the special training ground.He went back to his own Yanwang Mansion.

Because Li Tai still has one thing to do now, which is to exchange some special weapons.Use them to equip your own star guards.

And the weapon Li Tai will take out this time is not just as simple as a front-loading musket.
