At this time, if there are 5 bicycles, each person can ride one, and can rush to the front line as quickly as possible and participate in the war.
Although cycling is very exhausting, you only need to rest for a day after arriving, and you can adjust and recover.
Even after a day's rest, if I came here on foot, I'm afraid I'm still on the road.
If you calculate it, even if you arrive at the place to rest for a day, it will save a lot of time on the road.
Therefore, when bicycles are applied to the army, it is still a very good choice for rapid marching during combat.
At least in this era, it is the most practical and economical quick march plan.
If there is one horse in hand, that is 5 horses, and the expenditure is too great.
Bicycles can be placed here if you don’t usually ride them. There is nothing to do, and you can use them anytime you want.
But the horse is usually not used, so you can't ignore it. You must take good care of it, otherwise the horse will be useless.
Therefore, a bicycle is really a good solution, and it would be even better if a tricycle is added.
"Your Highness, do you also think that bicycles are very helpful for rapid marches?"
Seeing that Li Ke recognized his idea, Hou Junji immediately looked at Li Ke excitedly, as if he had found a confidant.
"Yes, a special army can be formed to practice riding bicycles, and then when it is needed, it can rush to the front line as fast as possible."
"And in battle, you can also quickly shift, intersperse, circle around, surround, etc., and lead your opponent with speed."
Li Ke thought of some characteristics of the motorized troops of later generations, and briefly explained them.
After Hou Junji listened, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
He had only thought that bicycles could be used for quick marches before, but 21 hadn't thought that they could be used in battle.
Now after hearing Li Ke's words, he immediately thought of this.
If the enemy army retreats and the Tang army wants to pursue it, they can ride bicycles when there are insufficient cavalry to quickly encircle and wipe out the fleeing enemy.
For example, if you want to arrange an army to penetrate behind the enemy in a short time, you can also ride a bicycle at this time to bypass the opponent's field of vision at the fastest speed and go around to the opponent's back.
As long as the road conditions are not too bad, the bicycle can play a good effect.
Thinking of this, Hou Junji felt extremely excited.
If Li Ke was not still here, he might have gone directly to the palace to report this matter to Li Shimin now.
"His Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in marching and fighting."
Hou Junji glanced at Li Ke in surprise, he had never discovered that Li Ke had such talent and vision before.
After all, Li Ke's style before was to break through all methods with one force, what kind of battle formation?What tactics?
Throw the dynamite pack directly, and it's over!
If one doesn't work, throw two, and if two don't work, throw a hundred!
Although simple and crude, it is really easy to use.
So he thought Li Ke was too lazy to study various tactics, but he didn't expect Li Ke to be equally proficient in these aspects.
"If you are poor, you will use tactical interludes, and if you are rich, you will bombard with firepower."
Li Ke said the essence of marching and fighting.
Hearing this, Hou Junji immediately gave Li Ke a thumbs up in admiration.
Just twelve words summed up the essence of marching and fighting.
In fact, there is nothing to see in the Ministry of War. Under Hou Junji's management, everything in the Ministry of War is normal.
He didn't come to the Ministry of War mainly for these reasons, but mainly because of Hou Junji.
Hou Junji also seemed to have thought of something, and immediately came to his office with Li Ke, and drove away everyone around, not allowing anyone to approach.
"Your Highness, thank you for the letter you sent some time ago."
Hou Junji said gratefully to Li Ke from the bottom of his heart.
"Some things I can't say too clearly, it's best for you to understand."
Li Ke nodded with a smile. Since Hou Junji could say this, it naturally meant that Hou Junji understood what he meant.
Moreover, this also means that Li Chengqian has already approached Hou Junji.
With Hou Junji's wisdom, it is not difficult to see why Li Chengqian sought him out, so it is precisely because of this that he is grateful for writing to him.
"Almost stepped into the abyss!"
Now thinking about it, Hou Junji is still a little scared, if Li Ke's letter didn't wake him up.
I'm afraid that he will be drawn over by Li Chengqian's warm-boiled frog unknowingly.
Once he got on Li Chengqian's thief ship and did something rebellious, it would really be hard for gods to save him.
But after Li Ke wrote him a letter, he woke up with a start, and then became wary when facing Li Chengqian.
In this way, naturally, he would no longer be fooled and drawn in by Li Chengqian.
After all, he knew very well what Li Chengqian was going to do to win him over.
"Just sit back and watch this matter, Lord Hou don't go out and say it, anyway just ignore him."
Li Ke explained to Hou Junji.
If Hou Junji went to talk to Li Shimin about this matter, Li Shimin would probably directly take Hou Junji down.
A charge of spreading rumors and slandering the prince was directly charged to Hou Junji.
Because no matter whether Li Chengqian really rebelled or not, this matter should not be a big deal.
So, just let this matter go with the flow, and be a good bystander.
"I know."
Hou Junji also understood this truth.
"Your Highness, you said in your letter that you are going to fight next, where will you fight?"
"It also said that there are several new weapons, what kind of weapons are they?"
Immediately, Hou Junji couldn't help asking Li Ke again.
Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help being a little speechless, and sighed in his heart that he deserves to be Hou Junji.
He is really a war madman, he just can't sit still and wants to make meritorious service.
"The next expedition to Goguryeo, Mr. Hou will have a chance to show off his demeanor."
"As for the new weapon, Lord Hou will see it later."
Li Ke smiled and said to Hou Junji.
Anyway, it's just painting cakes, Li Ke is too familiar with it.
Hearing Li Ke's words, Hou Junji couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
Good guy, listening to what you say is like listening to what you say!
There is not a single valuable information in the words, it is all nonsense!
After bidding farewell to Hou Junji, he came to the last stop, Hubu.
When Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, saw Li Ke coming, he immediately seemed to see the God of Wealth coming.
A pair of eyes smiled and formed a line, and Li Ke was welcomed in like an ancestor.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wu is here to welcome you!"
Tang Jian welcomed Li Ke into the household department like a licking dog.
It's not to blame that Tang Jian is too licking, Tang Jian also has something to say.
The large-scale breeding and planting technology given by His Royal Highness King Wu before leaving Chang'an City has directly enriched the property output of Chang'an City by an unknown number of times.
When the material is rich, the life of the common people is naturally much better.
Now you can eat a lot of meat on the table, plus canned sea fish, salted fish and shrimps sold from Yangzhou.
The food of the common people can be said to have been greatly improved.
Now when his carriage passed by on the street, he could hear the praises of the people from the household department. How could this not make him, the minister of the household department, feel proud?
And all of this is due to Li Ke.
Moreover, after Li Ke went to Yangzhou, he began to collect commercial taxes in Yangzhou and Suzhou. In recent months, he also began to collect commercial taxes in Dengzhou and Quanzhou.
Although a large part of the business tax collected must be kept locally for the purpose of running official schools, a lot of it can still be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It can be said that the current income of the household department has also improved a lot compared to before.
If the business tax is collected in the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Households may have to build a few more warehouses for storing copper coins.
If Li Ke opens a bank in Chang'an City again, the step of building a warehouse will be saved, and it will be directly transported to the bank for deposit.
These are all thanks to Li Ke, how can this prevent Tang Jian from confessing Li Ke as the God of Wealth?
Don't you lick this kind of God of Wealth?
"Master Tang is too polite."
Li Ke was also surprised by Tang Jian's "enthusiasm".
"I used to think about giving you the seat of Minister of the Household Department, but now I can't say anything. I will fight desperately with whoever grabs this seat."
Tang Jian couldn't help but sighed with a smile.
Now Hubu, he can even wake up with a smile when he is dreaming at night.
"Master Tang, please take care of your health. In the future, the household department's annual income will be a huge figure."
Li Ke also made a joke with Tang Jian.
"Then don't worry, my body will definitely last until that day!"
Tang Jian patted his chest and said confidently.
"Of course I do."
Li Ke nodded with a smile.
Historically, Tang Jian died 20 years later, at the age of 78.
It is indeed relatively long-lived.
Facts have proved that fishing at work is indeed beneficial to prolong life.
Afterwards, Li Ke took a look at the meat output of the major farms in Chang'an City, as well as the output of eggs and milk.
Although it is still much worse than modern farms, it is already very productive in this era.
Moreover, Li Ke is also asking people to study the feed. Once the feed is produced, the production will still increase considerably.
After leaving the household department, Li Ke returned to the palace contentedly.
Although he left for half a year, the four films he controlled before are still firmly under his control.
His will can affect the policies and operations of these four ministries.
While the fief expands its influence, it can also have such a large influence on important departments of the imperial court.
Li Ke was still very satisfied.
In the next few days, Li Ke will either be with his family, or gather with some good ministers to reminisce about the old days.
At the same time, he was also preparing for the concubinage wedding.
This time he has to take in two children at the same time, and there is a lot of preparation work.
Although the ceremony of taking a concubine is much simpler than the ceremony of marrying a regular wife, it is still a wedding after all, and Li Ke still wants to make it as grand as possible.
He invited 113 ministers with good relations to come to participate.
A few days passed by, and the Prince Wu's Mansion, which had been clean for about half a year, finally became lively again.
Pink decorations are hung inside and outside the house, representing festive decorations.
Yes, pink.
Marrying a regular wife is associated with a big red color, while taking a concubine is associated with a pink color.
