I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Therefore, for promising projects, Zhang Nuo naturally agreed with a swipe of the pen. For some projects whose conditions are not enough for the time being, Zhang Nuo will not directly call back, but suggest that the other party conduct research in stages. The current conditions If it is not enough, then conduct theoretical research first.

The thriving Datang has brought about the development of various technologies.Therefore, Zhang Nuo looked at the people on the boat with the eyes of his own children, and watched with satisfaction as they continued to discuss and familiarize themselves with various technologies.

All the difficulties were actually temporary, even if Li Shimin was a little worried about the upcoming battle, Zhang Nuo tried to comfort him as much as possible.

Just kidding, even if Dingyuan's combat power can't be brought out 100%, wouldn't it have no combat power?

Industrial civilization beats farming civilization, even if it is an industrial civilization that has just developed, facing the farming civilization that is still in the stage of cold weapon warfare, it is also a blow to dimensionality reduction, okay?

Zhang Nuo never worried about the outcome of the war. He only worried about the losses and benefits of the war. At the same time, he also had to worry about whether all the soldiers could learn something from the war.

He is different from a war madman like Li Shimin, fighting for the sake of war is the most stupid!

Li Shimin didn't know that Zhang Nuo was frowning and slandering him in his heart. He was standing on the bridge thinking about something.

No matter how easy Zhang Nuo said, war is a very serious matter after all, and it is a matter of life, either the life of the other party or the life of one's own side.

What's more, Zhang Nuo said that jungle warfare was so terrible before, and he sent people to the jungle for training half a year in advance. It would be strange if Li Shimin could relax now.

Of course, the most important point is that this time he is the coach. It would be good if he won a big victory, but if he loses or even if the win is not beautiful enough, the casualties are too large or the speed is too slow, then does he still want to save the face of Lao Li? up?

What will others say then?

Can the Great Tang Conquest be done without Zhang Nuo, the King of Qin?

He, Li Shimin, is an idiot?

Lao Li is indeed a good face, but now he is young and strong in his prime, he is not the old Li Shimin in history who often made foolish tricks.

He has a good face, so he has to fight for it by himself, and he has good military exploits, so he will lead the boys to kill the enemy well!

As a commander-in-chief and also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't have to calculate the logistics like the previous generals, because the entire Tang Dynasty was behind him.

But he will not mess around, but will be more careful and serious to study and think about how to fight the battle more beautifully.

Because only in this way can he stand in the hall and tell everyone loudly after returning that he, Li Shimin, has laid down a rich territory for the Great Tang!

Chapter 872 Zhang Nuo's World and Times

For the soldiers of the Yunnan-Guizhou Military Region, after a long and frustrating jungle warfare training, they turned around and knew that they were going to the battlefield. Everyone was excited and excited.

As for military exploits, as long as it is a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, there is no one who is not greedy.

However, if there is no war, it is too difficult to obtain military merits. There are only a few places every year, and they are all rewarded to those who have excellent training and strong professional ability.

Now there is an opportunity, everyone is very enthusiastic!

Of course, I was still a little worried in my heart. After all, it is not impossible for this person to have no eyes on the battlefield, and maybe even be unlucky on the battlefield and contract some strange disease.

With this very complicated mood, the officers and soldiers of several divisions embarked on the journey to Lingnan together with the logistics convoy.

Everyone knows that this time they are actually training before the war.Otherwise, boarding can be arranged nearby.

But Zhang Nuo quit. As I said before, it is a very rare opportunity to raise troops through war, and this kind of effect in the context of real war is extremely good.

There is no good way to go to Lingnan from the Yunnan-Guizhou Military Region. That is to say, there are more war horses in the Tang Dynasty now, which has greatly improved the transportation capacity of each military region.

Otherwise, this long-distance maneuver is estimated to kill the entire military region.

Supplies, armor, firearms, knives, and all kinds of supplies are piled up in a carriage that can't be seen at a glance. The soldiers are walking, but they can maintain a daily journey of more than a hundred miles.

It has to be said that in the past few years, due to the further abundance of Datang's supplies and the increase in military expenditures, the physical fitness of Datang's army has become better and better.

In the past, why this kind of army that traveled hundreds of miles a day was so rare, because even the ancients without scientific training methods knew that if soldiers want to have good physical fitness, they can only increase training while ensuring sufficient nutrition.

To put it bluntly, I want to eat meat!

But in those dynasties who couldn't even eat enough to eat, this was an extravagant behavior.

But what about Datang today?

After Zhang Nuo solved various breeding problems such as raising pigs, raising chickens, and raising sheep, and successfully turned the original Turkic grassland into a large pasture.

Now there is no shortage of meat in the entire Tang Dynasty, even in the homes of ordinary farmers. It may be a bit extravagant to eat meat every few days, but it is not a problem to eat meat every few days.

This is the case even in the homes of ordinary farmers, let alone in the army. The abundant supply of supplies makes the physical fitness of these soldiers in Datang almost change day by day. unrecognizable things.

Having said that, judging from the current situation of these soldiers marching, it is really not in vain for Li Shimin to keep spending military expenses inside.

In the past, it was necessary to select the best among the best to travel hundreds of miles a day, and it could only be a small army. But now, a team of tens of thousands of people has been marching on the official road without stopping. It has been several days in a row. But each one is very energetic.

Of course, it's not that there are no problems, at least the troops have come all the way, and the animals in the forest have all suffered.

In the past, although these places were located next to official roads, it would be good if there were dozens of people in a caravan.

But now, my good fellow, there are tens of thousands of people, all of whom are young and strong. No matter how delicious the army rations are, it can't compare to this game that is caught and killed now.

Therefore, basically this way, as long as the animals that can be eaten are not too far away in the mountains and forests on both sides, they are basically wiped out.

Even after these guys became addicted to eating, they temporarily set up a special army to set off in advance to sweep the mountains and forests, and then the follow-up troops took over the processing and cooking when they set up camp, and the fur they produced had some people who knew this craft in the army Making leather from nitrate has almost formed an industrial chain.

Zhang Nuo didn't say a word about this kind of thing, he was not one of those environmental saints.Besides, in Datang these days, there are far more animals than people.

Those who have been caught and eaten all the way may recover within a year or two.

As a former chef and restaurant owner, I have a deep understanding of eating. Living in this world is not just about eating, drinking and drinking.

If you can't even eat well, how can you ask people to work hard?

Let's talk about this group of soldiers who were frantically rushing all the way. Originally, they thought that they had experienced jungle warfare training and daily intensive training, so they had enough knowledge.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in Lingnan, the first order Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo gave was nothing else but sea training.

This is completely different from their idea of ​​repairing first when it arrives.

As for training at sea, to put it bluntly, there are not too many items. The main points are actually two points, learning to live on a boat and learning to swim.

Zhang Nuo had already dragged someone to do this kind of trickery when he was in Fusang.

However, I have to say that today's Datang army is indeed more professional and energetic than before.

In the previous batch of training, almost [-]% of the people had never seen the sea and could not swim, but this time, according to the data submitted below, these people can actually swim, and there were special training courses before.

Although I don't know how much of the water quality trained in those small rivers and lakes will remain after entering the sea, but at least, judging from the current situation, Datang has indeed risen to a new level without knowing it up.

Only those troops who are trained scientifically and have enough energy will allow the army to learn swimming, a seemingly "useless" skill!

This is the progress of Datang, who has been able to no longer confine his eyes to the current city and area.

They finally have a strategic vision, know how to look at problems from the perspective of development, and look at problems from the perspective of future needs, so that they are prepared in advance.

In fact, Zhang Nuo was more pleased than anything to see the development of Datang's army.

This proves that even if Zhang Nuo disappeared suddenly, Datang would not stop his progress, and would still go forward with great strides.

Datang is no longer the little doll who needs Zhang Nuo to watch by his side for everything. Although the current Datang may not be able to run wildly, at least he can stand upright and move forward step by step independently.

How could Zhang Nuo, who supported Datang all the way and looked forward to his growth, not be excited?

For him, Datang is no longer the world that allowed him to idle around and satisfy his curiosity when he first came here. This is his world, and now, it is the era of Datang!

Chapter 873 Dimensionality Reduction Strike

Zhang Nuo's emotions lasted for several days, and these days were the time when the newly arrived troops from the Yunnan-Guizhou Military Region were conducting sea training.

Li Shimin was also feeling emotional. During the last battle of Fusang, it was the last glory of the old soldiers. Li Shimin actually knew very well what it was like during training.

But now, looking at these young people, seeing this kind of sea training program, apart from the excitement of seeing the sea for the first time, there is no such thing as panic at all, and some are just full of confidence!

And this is the result of the development of Datang's military power.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel proud. These are the soldiers under his command, and this is the empire under his command.

The training time at sea this time is much shorter than before. After all, I have water in my body, and I want to get acquainted with the feeling of swimming in the sea and the various rules of life on board.

This kind of thing is really not a joke, especially on the Dingyuan, although it may be the most comfortable place to live, it actually has the most rules.

There are many places on this ship that cannot be visited, one is because of confidentiality, and the other is that the operating procedures on the ship stipulate that there are some places, not to mention the passengers on board, even the operators in other positions on the Dingyuan. You can't mess with it.

And after these few days of training, these army boys at least know what to do on the ship, where they can go and where they can't, and at the same time they won't get lost.

This is not a joke, especially on the Dingyuan ship. The [-]-meter-long ship is divided into several layers. If you walk in a daze, getting lost is really a normal thing.

After the training is over, it is time to actually go to the battlefield.

And this is good news for everyone in the entire fleet, because it means that their battle exploits are coming soon.

Just as the fleet of the entire Zhongnan Campaign was heading towards the predetermined sea area, the third party in this campaign, the airship unit of the Datang Air Force, also received a telegram and set sail.

This battle is still the joint three-dimensional attack of the sea, land and air forces that Datang has gradually formed a system and habit. After several years of development, Datang has gradually become proficient in this efficient offensive system.

Not to mention, due to the gradual abundance of military expenditures and supplies, everyone knows the benefits of the exercise.Therefore, there will be a joint tri-service exercise almost every year.

As for the exercises of each arm and the exercises of each unit, there are more!

After all, in the absence of war, we can only rely on continuous training to improve combat literacy, and use exercises to test the combat capabilities of troops.

In this regard, both Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo are happy to see the results. The so-called army should be warlike, train hard on weekdays, and be able to rush forward in wartime.

Just like at this moment, Li Shimin was standing excitedly on the bridge of Dingyuan, looking at the scene in front of him proudly, and the pride in his chest could hardly be held back.

In front of him, there are a total of [-] naval three-masted warships in service, which are currently shelling a small town occupied by Tianzhu by the sea.

And above the head, a whole fleet of airships, like a dark cloud, is flying towards the top of the opponent's head, seemingly slowly but quickly. You don't need to think about it, and all kinds of bullets will rain after a while.

However, the most shocking thing is the dual-mounted 300mm main gun on the Dingyuan, although Li Shimin has seen this kind of main gun firing several times during the exercise.

But that was all at sea, and the attacks were all imaginary targets. How can there be such a serious attack in front of you as shocking?

Especially when he saw that when the main gun salvo was fired, the sea surface was rippling due to the pressure of the gun muzzle, and he was almost drunk.

As for the small city in the distance, I can't see it at this time. After all, this is a dimensionality reduction attack. The small city in this small country has only a short city wall, which is still used to prevent cold weapons from attacking the city.

When Tianzhu occupied this place before, part of it was destroyed, but the city wall, which was not so good at first, became more and more dilapidated.

And the one who is so surviving, has not had time to repair it, and now it encounters Datang's magical soldiers descending from the sky.

What is the concept of bombardment by a 300mm caliber ship?

Well, to put it intuitively, there are no living people within the range of a basketball court, and basically only dregs can be seen. As for things like city walls and houses, they are almost like toys.

Needless to say the next routine, bombing from the sky and shelling from the sea, coupled with the continuous landing personnel and the air force that has already started to airborne, this is a good start, and Datang is determined.

Zhang Nuo just read the beginning and then stopped. After all, Lao Li was watching over there conscientiously, so it's no wonder that something went wrong.

He was sitting in his room at this time, holding a big tea mug, looking at the scenery outside the window, listening to the deafening gunfire even through the thick cabin, taking a sip of tea leisurely from time to time, enjoying the A moment of peace.

The Indochina Peninsula strategy this time is different from the past. In the past, no matter whether it was Koryo or Fusang, they were all slowly approaching under the influence of the Central Plains culture.

For the local people, being able to join Datang and become a member of Datang is actually a very good thing, and this does not hinder them in the slightest.

But the Indochina Peninsula is a bit different. The religious culture here seems to be similar to the civilization of the Central Plains, but in fact it is very different.

It's one thing to beat it down, but how to manage it well is not a small problem.

Zhang Nuo had actually thought about this for a long time, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find a particularly safe solution.

Look at what Yinggelan and other European powers did here back then. That kind of colonial rule collapsed almost instantly when the tide of thought came, and it couldn't stand it at all.

Because of the colonial policy at that time, in the eyes of those powerful countries, this place was just a raw material production place and a dumping market. They came here to rule and make money. As long as they can make money, they can talk about anything else.

Therefore, after a few random disturbances at the beginning, those who should be independent became independent.

But Zhang Nuo didn't like this kind of result. He hoped that the result would be like that of Goryeo and Fusang. Everyone would be proud of their identity as Tang people, and they only wanted to live a good life and make their children more prosperous in the future. It is best to be a petty officer or an officer or something.

This kind of centripetal force is what Zhang Nuo needs, but how to cultivate it?

Chapter 874 Frontline Advancement

Zhang Nuo has been thinking about this issue for a long time, but there has been no result, but it has to be said that there must be some arrangements.

In fact, Li Shimin discussed this issue with Zhang Nuo several times. Don't look at him as a brash man who likes to fight and conquer, but in fact, he is very careful when facing this kind of problem.

He had seen some information about this place, most of which were collected by those adventurous sea merchants who traveled all over the world.

Relying on good ships in recent years, these maritime merchants are no longer satisfied with doing some back-and-forth transportation and trade in the local area. They have begun to actively explore overseas markets.

After all, the news in Datang is so well-informed nowadays, basically everyone has an idea of ​​the approximate price of the goods, so making money is definitely making money, but if you want to be the same as a few years ago, you can earn a lot of money for a shipment of products It's basically impossible.

Therefore, some of them with adventurous genes and adventurous spirit started their adventure journey with a simple map in their own doll's nature textbook in school.

This is actually many times better than those adventurers who rush out without knowing anything, at least they know the direction and purpose.
