Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 269
After Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu tried the compressed biscuits, they were instantly shocked by the miraculous properties of the compressed biscuits.

Seeing the horrified expression of the important minister he relied on, Li Shimin suddenly felt a deep sense of satisfaction, "This thing is called compressed military rations, and I got it by accident."

"I intend to promote this item in the army, so this is the main reason why I want to personally supervise the military rations."

When Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu heard what Li Shimin said, they suddenly realized, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"It seems that we are being reckless. Your Majesty has this thing, so he should really promote the reform of military rations."

"If all of our army is equipped with this compressed ration, the characteristics and power of our army's long-distance attacks will be doubled!"

"If Wei Guogong and the others know about this matter, how happy they will be!"

At this point, Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu had no objections, and they even couldn't wait to tell Li Jing and other military leaders about the ration reduction, hoping to see how shocked they would be when they knew about it.

The appearance of compressed biscuits completely silenced Chai Shao, Xue Wanche and others, and no one dared to mention that he would take over the matter of military rations.

They are all self-aware people. Now that the East Turks have been destroyed, Goguryeo has been destroyed, Silla and Baekje have become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the remaining enemies of the Tang Dynasty are only a few.

The Western Turks, Tubo and Uighurs, these nomadic peoples who often made small moves on the western border of the Tang Dynasty, were bound to become Li Shimin's next target.

Therefore, Li Shimin restructured the military rations at this time to let the important officials in the court know that the conquest sword in the hands of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had never been thought of stopping.

On this point, Li Fu and Li Shimin are highly consistent.

In Li Fu's eyes, there is only one way to deal with the barbarians outside the Great Wall, and that is to use swords to let them know who is the real master of this land. Anyone who dares to provoke Datang, no matter how far he runs, will be caught up by Tang Jun , eat it!
Unexpectedly, when Li Shimin began to promote the reduction of military rations to the entire army, he finally handed over the military ration affairs to Chai Shao, the prince-in-law and Duke of Qiao.

Obviously, in Li Shimin's eyes, he still believed in his own people more. After receiving the news, Chai Shao burst into tears of gratitude to Li Shimin and swore allegiance.

Later, under the jurisdiction of Chai Shao, the military workshops produced a large amount of qualified compressed military rations, and Li Shimin was ready to use troops on the grassland again. This time, he wanted to solve the problems on the grassland once and for all.

When attacking Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun before, Li Shimin had already regarded the Western Turks and the Nine Tribes of Tiele as future imaginary enemies.

But out of morality and the covenant concluded before, Li Shimin did not attack them immediately.

However, Li Shimin's kindness did not win the surrender of the Western Turks and the Nine Tribes of Tiele. On the contrary, they continued to cross the border, even plowed grass and valleys in the Tang Dynasty, and even massacred merchants in the Tang Dynasty. This was undoubtedly something Li Shimin could not tolerate.

Among them, Xue Yantuo's remnant is hateful, and the three newspapers a day at the border are all military reports about Xue Yantuo's remnant going deep into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Shimin decided this time to completely kill Xue Yantuo's remnant once and for all.

So Li Shimin quickly decreed that Li Jing, Duke of the State of Wei, would be the commander-in-chief and lead the military affairs. He would lead a 15 military guard army to leave Yumen Pass and enter the grassland.

Xue Wanche, Niu Jinda, and Yuchi Jingde were the deputy generals, controlled by Li Jing, and the British general Li Ji was the rear army. Such a lineup would not only frighten the prairie people, but on the prairie, it would be okay to kill gods when gods block them, and Buddha when they block Buddhas. .

In less than a month, the good news from the grassland was full of Li Shimin's dragon cases.

As Li Jing's army penetrated deep into the grassland, the first batch of loot on the grassland was successfully transported back to Chang'an.

But Li Shimin couldn't be happy when he saw these trophies, because they were more than 1000 grassland cattle.

The biggest difference between the prairie cattle and the native cattle of the Tang Dynasty is that the prairie cattle are basically bison. They are used to eat meat on weekdays, and there is no possibility of being tamed.

The bravest eagle shooter on the prairie is helpless in the face of prairie cattle, let alone Li Shimin.

So when Li Shimin saw the more than 1000 prairie cattle, there was no happy smile on his face. Instead, there was deep worry, but some people were quite happy.

"Your Majesty, there are so many cows, why don't you give me one? I haven't eaten beef for a long time, and it's just a toothbrush festival!" Cheng Yaojin obviously looked heartless, which provoked ridicule from his colleagues.

Li Shimin glared at Cheng Yaojin viciously, then snorted coldly: "Eat, eat, what else do you know besides eating?"

Seeing Li Shimin's anger, Cheng Yaojin was instantly cowed, and everyone stopped talking, and they all looked at the more than 1000 cows with anxiety.

"Alas!" Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, "If these cattle could all be turned into farming cattle, how wonderful it would be!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Fang Xuanling complimented, and then said: "Your Majesty is very worried. If our Tang Dynasty has more than 1000 cattle, the common people will be blessed!"

"It's a pity that these grassland cattle, like those grassland people, are not amenable to education and cannot be used by me at all. Your Majesty, it is better not to make such assumptions and think of other ways."

Changsun Wuji sneered when he heard the words: "Is there any other way to think about it? I can only kill and eat the meat, kill all these cattle, and distribute the meat to the families of the soldiers who are going abroad. It can be regarded as a reward for them. .”

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin frowned even tighter, but unexpectedly noticed Prince Li Fu in the crowd, looking thoughtfully at the herd of grassland cattle not far away, and couldn't help but be moved.

[Is the prairie cow difficult to tame?It's not that complicated, as long as you think of a way, you can still become a farm cattle. 】

Hearing Li Fu's inner voice, Li Shimin almost laughed out loud. If the grassland cattle were so tame, Datang would have laid down the grassland long ago.

Previously, it was because there was no profit to be gained from clearing the grassland, so it was postponed again and again until now.

These buffaloes, which are used to being wild on the grasslands, are stronger than three horses. If they were so easy to tame, Datang Border Town would probably use buffaloes to plow the fields by now.

Li Fu didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking at the moment, he was still muttering in his heart, and the words from his heart fell into Li Shimin's mind.

[Actually, here I have a method, you can try to see if you can domesticate grassland cattle into farm cattle. 】

[It’s just that this method may be a bit cruel. Maybe Yan Guan will become gibberish again if he finds out about it! 】

Li Shimin could not help but purse his mouth when he heard the sound, Li Fu really thought too much, no matter how cruel the method is, it is better than killing these cows in the end.

If Li Fu's method is really effective, even if it is cruel, Li Shimin will still be able to accept it.
