Chapter 732 Koguryeo Proton's Request

Using this to adjust the height? Li Jing squatted down and looked at the two legs that were disconnected and connected together through the connecting plate.

"This method can improve stability." Li Muyun was afraid that Li Jing would not understand, so he explained again.

"Good design. If this is the case, it can indeed solve the problem of equipment loss. However, your shelf seems too small. Is it a bit inappropriate to use it for a trencher?" Li Shimin expressed his confusion.

Since he decided to transform the large-scale siege equipment, Li Muyun naturally would not have imagined such a simple replacement question and calmly replied: "This can be used in combination and used on a trench machine, but four such racks are combined to form a larger base."

"Your Majesty, I think you can give it a try." After careful consideration, Li Jing expressed support for Li Muyun's suggestion.

Because things made of steel are stronger than those made of wood, and such structured things are indeed easy to replace accessories.

After all, when those strong men assembled this rack, Li Jing had calculated the time, and it was less than a quarter of an hour in total. This was just organized from a bunch of parts. If the parts were just replaced, it would probably not take even one-third of the time.

On the battlefield, time is life. Maybe you are not short of that quarter or two minutes when you attack, but every breath is good when you defend the city. If you can quickly change accessories, you will recover the great loss.

Hou Junji nodded repeatedly at this time, obviously with Li Jing.

It can be carried in dispersed ways, assembled quickly, and replaced with each other flexibly. If all large-scale weapons have such performance, it doesn't seem like it will be even more difficult to replace the entire army's weapons.

Only those who are in the army and fight don’t have so many ideas and excuses. As long as they think things are useful, who cares about how much they need to spend? I just used this as an excuse just because I just didn’t want to replace old equipment. Now that I have good ones, a few old people will naturally not stick to their previous views.

But the old guys don’t want to do it, it’s not like Li Er. The treasury has finally made more money, so I can’t just be defeated. Thinking of the cost of replacing equipment in the entire army, His Majesty the Emperor couldn’t help looking at Li Muyun: “Then, what should I do with the old equipment in the past?”

Li Muyun said with confidence: "Sell it, it's useless anyway. Of course, it's just to sell it out for money, otherwise what else can I buy new equipment. Besides, in fact, no matter what business is done, it's better to make money than arms business. Just one eight-ox crossbow can be sold outside for a hundred and ten cents of hands. This price is enough to build ten new bed crossbows."

Li Er and others' eyes were pounding: "Sell? You can sell it if you say you want to sell it? Do you know how many of this thing is in the Tang Dynasty? Besides, what if it flows into the hands of the enemy, how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty need to fill it with their lives."

"So we need to study new equipment, for money or for strengthening military affairs, I think we cannot just rely on old capital, innovate, reform, and develop. Eliminate old equipment and use the money from eliminating old equipment to study new equipment to ensure that the military power of the Tang Dynasty is ahead of other countries. This is the fundamental and the driving force for progress."

It’s nonsense to be motivated. You guys say something and you’ll be done with bragging, but the equipment is not made of mud. Who can guarantee that new equipment will definitely suppress the old ones?

Li Er's cheeks were so angry that his cheeks were shaking. Li Jing and Hou Junji kept rolling their eyes.

Li Muyun was rumored: "Actually, as a strong country, we should not be afraid of enemies. As the saying goes, born from trouble and dying from happiness, if we only know how to eat old capital, what is the difference between salted fish? So we must have a sense of crisis, sell old equipment, and then replace it with new ones, and at the same time strengthen military training to build a modern army."

Although Li Er and others could understand the meaning of these words, they could not accept it.

Everyone knows that blacksmiths need to be strong himself, and they also know the necessity of strengthening military power. But is the question possible?

It's like two people fighting. Everyone knows that improving their own abilities and fighting skills is the fundamental reason for solving problems. But who would stuff a knife into the other party's hands in order to improve their fighting skills? What's the difference between this and suicide?

Until nightfall, His Majesty Li Er and a group of war madmen did not decide whether to sell the old equipment. Li Muyun could only return to his residence in shame.

Just as he sat down, a person came in outside: "Prince, how are you doing? Is there any result?"

"Wait, I can't say it." Li Muyun shook his head: "I said you Goguryeo people are the same. You don't want anything, why do you have to need weapons? Are you making things difficult for me?"

The guy who came in later found a seat and sat down, and said embarrassedly: "Prince, isn't there any way I can do this? You know the situation in our country. The five mattresses are in their own right. Sometimes even my father's will cannot leave the palace."

"His Highness Gao Heng, since things are all like this, if you get another batch of weapons back, aren't you afraid of causing a chain reaction? What if the five mattresses you mentioned see that your royal family has bought so much arms and launched a coup?" Li Muyun looked at the Prince of Goguryeo sitting there rubbing his hands straight, and asked helplessly.

At this time, all his hopes were placed on Li Muyun and quickly explained: "No, your country has invested so much money and driven by interests, they should not mobilize for the time being. The father also wanted to take this opportunity to arm the army loyal to the royal family first and be prepared for the situation."

Li Muyun sighed and said, "Your Highness Gao Heng, I believe you should know that even if I can sell the ordnance to you through some channels, this part of the ordnance will require one-hand money and one-hand goods. This is not an ordinary business and you can pay any credit at will."

"I understand that my father has mobilized almost all the funds that can be used in China this time, a total of 2 million yuan. I hope you can consider it and help this."

Gao Heng was a little nervous. Since Gao Minzhi came to the Tang Dynasty, he had received a private message from his son Gao Jianwu, and he also knew the arduousness of this task.

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, the people who really dared to sell the weapons were Changsun Wuji and Li Muyun. Compared with the old fox of Changsun, Gao Heng still thought that Li Muyun was more reliable. Although this guy was sometimes a bit independent, he was very trustworthy.

Seeing Gao Heng restless, Li Muyun tickled and said, "Forget it, since Your Highness Gao Heng is so sincere, then I will work harder and try it back to His Majesty to see if I can help you."
