Great Tang princess

In the cabin of the airship, Li Yuechen stood by the window, looking thoughtfully at the gradually shrinking Eastern Capital City in his vision.

Now that there are such large aircraft, there should be no turmoil in the country in the future.

As for foreign countries, now that the four sides have surrendered, there should be no major wars within a few decades. If you say that the only war that can be sure to be fought in the future, it will be Tubo.

When Li Yuechen was a child, he planned to completely turn it into his own country's territory. It is absolutely impossible to leave this matter to the younger generation, and it must be completed within his own lifetime.

To say that the only trouble is the plateau area, which is prone to various accidents, so she wants to use technology as much as possible to solve it.

To be honest, it is no problem for the opponent to fly an airship to bomb the Tubo Palace, but if this happens, Tubo will inevitably fall into turmoil, and there is no way to stabilize it immediately.

At that time, the imperial court will have to find ways to counteract the rebellion everywhere. The cost is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses. There is no need for the future in these years.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry for now. Now the place where Tuyuhun used to be is here, and it is already considered a plateau. At that time, we can garrison there to open up wasteland. Let some soldiers train there first to adapt to the plateau climate.

When you do it in the future, you don't have to worry about this issue.

The current priority is to settle the northern border first, and then consider the west after the situation is completely stabilized there.

Tubo is different from nomads like Turks. They generally can only go to the Western Regions if they want to invade. It is difficult to go inland, which is also due to the climate.

Many Tubo people also have symptoms such as drunkenness when they come to the mainland. They want to invade the mainland, which is also a troublesome thing.

In addition, since Lun Qinling was arrested, the Tubo royal family has started a series of operations again in order to seize power, and has no time to take care of the mainland.

……

Flying in the sky is a novel experience, but once you get used to it, it's just like that. The airship takes off from Dongdu in the morning, and at night, the children are already feeling a little tired.

The child was already hot for three minutes. After running on the airship for a day, he was already bored sitting in front of the window and watching the moon.

The only advantage is that the airship is above the clouds after all, and the bright moon can be seen unobstructed here, which is much better than the sight on the ground.

The children surrounded Li Yuechen and listened to her telling stories.

The children of the royal family always mature much earlier than outsiders, and now they have started doing various things to attract Li Yuechen's attention.

Everyone knows that as long as he pleases this aunt, it will definitely be good for him.

Li Chengqi, who was already twelve years old, sat next to her and asked, "Auntie, reading the history of the country recently, I feel that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty seemed to be building for the development of the country, and the attack on Goguryeo was also for the stability of the north, but why did it lead to chaos in the world and public grievances? Woolen cloth?"

"This question may be too esoteric for you, and you may not be able to understand it if you explain it..." Li Yuechen took a sip of tea, "But it's okay to talk about it."

The other children stared at her wide-eyed, waiting for her story.

Li Yuechen's and Lu Zhaolin's teaching styles are completely different. Compared with the traditional Zhizheye, they prefer to listen to the vernacular.

Although Lu Zhaolin is gradually changing his style now, after all, he has been used to it for so many years, and it is not so easy to change it all at once.

"Actually, there is no problem with his policies and guidelines. The problem is that he is too impatient." Li Yuechen replied, "In fact, if these policies and guidelines of his are completed in a hundred years, it will never cause the current This result."

"One hundred years, how can he complete it alone?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows, "People can't live that long."

Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "Many plans at the national level actually take several generations to complete. If you wait carefully, you will find that whether it is Gaozu, Taizong, or the emperor or even today's saints, in fact It is still going down in accordance with Emperor Sui Yang's method."

"Looking back, the defeat of Goguryeo was the result of the painstaking efforts of several generations of emperors... So whether you are an emperor or an official, you must understand that there are many things and you should not rush for success."

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was self-willed and overjoyed. He wanted to complete the things that would take several generations to complete by himself. He wanted to leave his name in history...but it led to the consumption of national power. The end result was that the people were destitute and revolted everywhere."

"Taizong once said, 'The king is like a boat, the people are like water, and the water can carry a boat and overturn it', but you must understand that the water that capsizes the boat is the tears of the common people..."

Having said that, Li Yuechen picked up the teacup to take a sip of water, but saw that the cup was already empty.

"Xiao He?"

"My servant is here." A promise came from behind, and Xiao He came over with the teapot to refill her.

Originally, she had been serving at the back just now, but after Li Yuechen started lecturing, she dragged other irrelevant personnel and left first.

Not everyone can listen to this kind of internal course of the royal family, and if you are still standing here, you are not winking. Even Wang Wuqiong, the personal guard, ran to the back.

"What time is it?"

"Go back to Your Highness, it's about to be ugly. The command room reported just now, and it is expected to arrive at sunrise. Your Highness, let's rest with all the nobles first."

Li Yuechen nodded: "You heard me, go to sleep!"

"Auntie, I can't sleep in the sky, I'm afraid of falling!" Li Longji said.

"It's okay, just hold a parachute when you sleep." Li Yuechen got up while talking, and waved them to go to sleep in the cabin.

The cabins on the airship are quite simple, and there are bunk beds inside. After separating the men and women, tell them to go to bed early, and talk about other things after dawn.

……

The sun hadn't fully risen yet, the sky had just turned pale, and the rapid sound of military drums had already resounded throughout the barracks.

Liu Huang opened his eyes to the sound of the drums, quickly put on his clothes, and prepared to go down to assemble.

Although he has become the brigade commander now, in order not to disappoint the princess, he has maintained his daily routine in the military academy for the past year and is extremely self-disciplined.

The brigade commander is so self-disciplined, the people below naturally don't dare to be lazy, they wake up listening to the sound of military drums every day, and train strictly.

After coming to the training ground to assemble, there was no nonsense, Liu Huang directly led the soldiers to start the warm-up training every morning, cross-country for ten miles.

This place is already close to the Xing'an Mountains, which belongs to the border area between grassland and forest. The running route is not completely flat, but runs into the mountains.

Now the soldiers have already adapted to this training method, and without a word, they lined up and started running.

After getting used to this kind of high-intensity training, I feel uncomfortable when it comes to rest.

Speaking of which, compared with the future, the army in this period has one advantage that there are almost no thorns. These days, the people below are usually cut off if they dare to be thorns, and there is no need to deal with them.

In addition, Liu Huang and the officers below were also from a serious military academy, and he was also the direct descendant of Liu Rengui, so he still had real skills, and he quickly convinced these soldiers.

Different from the class distinction among the soldiers, Liu Huang and other officers basically eat and live with the soldiers. Although the officers have single dormitories, they are in the same building as the soldiers, and the accommodation environment is not very big. the difference.

It's nothing more than an extra desk and bookshelf in the room. Compared with the extravagance of the chief of the army, this difference is almost negligible.

In this case, the soldiers naturally have a deeper sense of belonging to the commander.

……

After running in the morning, I have two quarters of an hour to clean up the housework, clean up, comb my hair and wash my face, and then it's time for breakfast.

After disbanding the soldiers, Liu Huang also went back to clean his room, and then went to the bathroom to wash his face and comb his hair.

In the process of washing my face, I couldn't help but feel a little helpless. I always feel that my hair is still a bit long now. Should I consider cutting it again?
In fact, the hairstyles in the army are relatively short now, and they can only be tied into a small ponytail, which only reaches below the neck, which is much shorter than normal men.

It would be much simpler if you could just leave a thin layer like the people in Buddhism. Just touch it with water when you wash your face every day, and you don't have to be so troublesome at all.

The more Liu Huang thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. This is not the mainland, and there are relatively few Han people. More than half of the soldiers in the barracks are barbarians. If you want to implement haircuts, it should be no problem.

Just thinking about it, the adjutant suddenly ran in with an extremely flustered expression on his face: "Brigade Commander, heaven... heaven..."

"Huh? How is it in the sky?" Liu Huang asked while wiping his face with a sheep towel.

"Suddenly a huge monster appeared in the sky, and it was gradually descending. Many soldiers said that there are immortals coming..."

Liu Huang felt a little nonsense when he heard it. If there is a real fairy in this world, it can only be one person!

So he immediately raised his legs and walked out, wanting to see what was going on.

When I came to the training ground, I saw that the soldiers were already densely packed into a group on the training ground, pointing their heads at the big shuttle that was gradually descending from the sky.

I don't know if it is because of the internal education of the army, but there is no such thing as kneeling down and prostrating.

Liu Huang squinted his eyes and looked up at the big khaki-colored shuttle that was gradually descending from the sky, with a strange look in his eyes.

He knew that Qingdao had been making a big guy, and it seemed to be about the same size and shape as the thing in front of him.

From this point of view, could it be that the thing has already been made?

The news of the Qingdao-made airship was not deliberately blocked. Rather, such a big guy couldn't block it with the current conditions.

Many people know it, but they don't know what this big guy is for.

But looking at it today, Liu Huang summed up the clues he knew in his mind, and he almost guessed the correct answer.

He turned his head and shouted, "Assemble all! Get ready to meet His Highness!"

The soldiers who had been trained for nearly a year heard the order, and although they were still curious about the big shuttle in the sky, they still started to assemble at the fastest speed.

Soon, a huge square team was formed, standing on the training ground like javelins.

The northern border has one thing better than Qingdao, that is, the land here is sparsely populated, so the scope of the training ground is huge, almost five times that of Qingdao.

At present, a unit of a brigade is standing on this training ground, and it seems that the number of people is a bit sparse.

The speed of the airship's descent was not too slow, it fell slowly and without any pause, and finally landed smoothly in front of the training ground.

The hatch opened, and a group of royal children ran out first. After staying on the airship for a long time, they always wanted to run on the ground and stretch their legs.

Then the guards followed behind, surrounded them from both sides, and guarded the periphery at the same time.

Before coming here, Li Yuechen told them that there are more wild animals in this place than in the mainland, so they should pay more attention.

Then Li Yuechen came out of the cabin followed by Wang Wuqiong and Xiao He.

Seeing the familiar bright red, Liu Huang's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Salute!"

With a "crash", all the soldiers raised their hands in salute.

Li Yuechen also raised his hand in return, and took two steps forward: "Hey, it looks pretty good."

"This subordinate does not dare to live up to His Highness's expectations. Over the past year, I have been staring at the training every day, and it has achieved initial results." Liu Huang replied with some pride.

Not to mention, this group of soldiers really looked decent.

In the borderlands, the conditions are harsh, and the people living here are tough folk.In this environment, anyone who can grow up safely will not have poor physical fitness.

Therefore, it is relatively easier to train, and most people can stick to the training standards customized by Li Yuechen.

A breeze blew past, making her bright red robe and the horsetail behind her head sway with the wind. Most of the soldiers on the training ground looked at this princess with many legends fanatically, and felt a little excited in their hearts.

Especially today, she came in the huge airship behind her. In their eyes, she was like a magic weapon of the gods in the sky, mysterious and oppressive at the same time.

Now, this legend is right in front of their eyes, how can they not be excited?
"Okay, don't affect the training," Li Yuechen waved his hand, "The companies are training as usual, tell me how the army is doing now."

"Yes, Your Highness, please follow me!"

Liu Huang turned his head and asked his officers to lead the soldiers to continue training, and then brought Li Yuechen to his office, and while sending someone to make tea, he also chatted about the affairs of the military region.

"Your Highness, there is still a brigade here, with a special reconnaissance battalion, two regular combat battalions, an engineer battalion and a joint logistics support battalion..."

Li Yuechen nodded while listening to his explanation, Liu Huang's ability is indeed there, at least for now, it is indeed strictly carried out according to her requirements.

The soldiers gathered at the training ground just now could see that the training was not bad, and they did not live up to her expectations.

"How many snowboards did I ask you to make?"

"It's only half now..." Liu Huang bowed his head a little ashamedly.

"It's as expected, it's okay, I brought a lot, and it should be able to equip everyone. It's still summer, take this opportunity, let them make more sledges..."
