Great Tang princess

Chapter 627
In one night, many soldiers participated in the activity of striking iron flowers.

Of course, it was unavoidable that a few people were still burned, and the injuries were not serious, but only burned to the surface of the skin, leaving a small black spot.

But the injured soldiers still felt very happy, and said they hoped to have the opportunity to participate in the future.

The people in the army are full of blood, and no one takes it seriously at all when they have minor bumps. This kind of injury can almost be regarded as non-existent to them.

However, Li Yuechen usually made them have to use alcohol to disinfect their wounds, otherwise the consequences of infection would be very serious.

A group of children were eager to try it, but Li Yuechen didn't agree. Let's wait until they grow up to think about this kind of thing.

Although not being able to play was a bit unhappy, the children quickly shifted their attention and returned to normal life soon.

After entering May, the weather was hot, and the construction progress in Weihai and Dalian also slowed down.

Li Yuechen didn't urge them, anyway, the plans had already been made, and it was better to let their professional people handle the construction process.

It's just that the children get together almost every day recently, and they seem to have endless things to say.

Because the moment of parting is coming, these children who have been together since childhood feel sad.

Li Shu and Li Linghui will stay here as naval officers, and the rest will follow Li Yuechen to stay in Yizhou, waiting for the military region to be established there.

But the two brothers Li Shouli and Li Shouyi were about to be separated from them, and the younger children felt a little sad.

Fortunately, because the usual education let them know the heavy responsibility of the royal family, no one has a petty temper. They just get together every day to eat, drink and have fun, enjoying less and less happy time.

Li Yuechen also wrote a letter to Yizhou governor Tang Zhen in advance, asking him to prepare some materials in advance and build a few simple houses, so that at least the children's school and accommodation problems will not be left behind.At the same time, I didn't forget to ask him to prepare some thick clothes.

Although Yizhou is hot, the military region will not be in Yizhou in the future, but has already reached Siguniang Mountain.

Strictly speaking, it already belongs to the plateau area, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large, so you must be prepared for what you need to do.

……

Finally, as the end of May came, it was time to part.

In the office, Li Yuechen was holding a teacup, and said to Li Shu and Li Linghui in front of him: "Tonight, the prohibition on alcohol is lifted, and the soldiers can drink some alcohol. But the bottom line is still not to drink too much, and not to miss tomorrow's training!"

"Auntie, I haven't waited..."

"The awarding ceremony for the two of you will be held after lunch. So this afternoon, the two of you are the highest officials here, and this order is naturally for you two!" Li Yuechen said with a slight smile.

Geng Yunqiang on the side looked relaxed: "Hahaha...then I don't care about it!"

Li Yuechen put down his teacup with a smile: "In the future, with the establishment of Weihai and Dalian military divisions, the naval organization will be upgraded to division level. Today's awarding of ranks will follow this system."

"Yes!"

"The two of you have taken on this important task just after graduation. I understand the pressure in my heart. If there is anything you don't understand in the future, please write to me at any time. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, but be afraid of making mistakes and not correcting them, and even more afraid of making mistakes without knowing it!" Li Yuechen gave made his own suggestion.

Li Shu smiled a bit reluctantly: "Aunt...was she the same as me?"

This question made Li Yuechen laugh out loud.

"I went to war when I was 13 years old. When I was an officer, I was much younger than you. Everyone knows that I am very skilled in martial arts, but I don't know that I am a commander-in-chief. I also start from scratch. The pressure in my heart doesn't need to be any younger than you. If it weren't for someone Master enlightened me carefully, I am afraid that I have already left the army and returned to the palace to be a little princess who enjoys all kinds of favors." Li Yuechen said slowly.

Li Linghui obviously didn't believe it: "My aunt won the first battle, how could it be possible..."

"Great victory... that's from the outside world." Li Yuechen interrupted her, and glanced at Geng Yunqiang next to him, "At the beginning, Hongfeng rushed to fight with me, because I was young and vigorous, and with my own bravery, I tore apart the enemy. The army's defense line rushed into the enemy's camp... It seemed that the enemy was completely wiped out, but my own men suffered heavy losses! Personally, it was not a big victory, but a tragic victory."

Hearing her low tone, she seemed to be recalling the past, and Geng Yunqiang at the side quickly advised: "Your Highness, there is no need to..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuechen stopped him by raising his hand.

Li Yuechen was not completely immersed in the memory, and continued: "Remember! Treat the pawn like a baby, so you can go to Shenxi with him; treat the pawn like a beloved son, so you can die with him. Thick but not to be used, love to die It cannot be ordered, and chaos cannot be ruled. For example, if you are a proud son, you cannot use it! The truth of this, you need to wait for the future, and slowly understand it!"

After hearing this, the two saluted together: "Remember my aunt's teaching!"

In fact, it is very risky to hand over a large army to officers who have just graduated, but fortunately, in this era, there is no need to worry about sudden foreign enemies, so they have plenty of time to grow slowly in this position.

The same is true for Li Shouli and Li Shouyi who will take over the army in Yizhou in half a year, although it is close to Tubo and there is a risk of being attacked by foreign enemies.

But at least for now Li Yuechen is still very young, with her, the Optimus Prime who can guard a country alone, the two brothers can grow up slowly under the protection of her wings, until the day when they can spread their wings and fly high.

……

After lunch, on the training ground, under the witness of all the soldiers and the children of the royal family, the conferring ceremony of Li Shu and Li Linghui was held.

All the soldiers stood on the playground and watched the awarding ceremony on the podium.

Wearing a black military uniform with serious eyes, Li Yuechen walked up to the two of them with firm steps, put Li Shu on the shoulders of a lieutenant colonel, and was officially appointed as the commander of the First Division of the Imperial Navy.

Li Linghui was awarded the rank of major and appointed political commissar of the First Division of the Imperial Navy.

The only thing that makes Li Yuechen feel pity is that there is no national flag at present, so this conferring ceremony is relatively simple.

But overall, it's still a ritual.

In the applause of all the soldiers, the conferring ceremony ended.

Because they will be parting tomorrow, Li Yuechen deliberately took the afternoon off to let all the soldiers have a good rest.

In the afternoon, the children all gathered together, sitting on the beach and chatting. They didn't run wild like usual, but they seemed very quiet.

Just sitting in a row on the beach, chatting with each other about the past few years in school and life.

Why did she fall down while playing football last time, he choked on water during training, etc...

It seems that they are all memories that are not worth saving, but today I feel very happy when I pick them up.

It wasn't until the sunset light made their faces turn orange that they all got up and went back to the barracks cafeteria to eat.

Tonight's dishes are much richer than usual, and it is made in a self-service form, so that the soldiers can walk around more easily, chatting while eating.

Li Yuechen sat at the table in the middle, and sisters Li Shu and Li Linghui sat beside them.

And the other soldiers had already gathered together to strike their fists, but everyone was not given a lot of wine, so naturally they couldn't swallow it all, and could only take a sip each time.

But even so, there are still a large number of soldiers gathered around who are constantly making noises. Compared with the usual quiet atmosphere of the cafeteria, today it is as noisy as entering a vegetable market.

There was also a bowl of wine in front of Geng Yunqiang, and after taking a sip, he smacked his lips twice, with a look of emotion on his face: "It's really unexpected, when the day of leaving comes, I still feel a little bit reluctant..."

"It's right to be reluctant!" Li Yuechen smiled, "It's more meaningful to have a reluctant parting."

"Your Highness said so!"

The children who seldom come over for meals gathered around this time, wishing each other blessings with the two sisters who were about to part.

"The two elder sisters can't slack off in the future, or they will be overtaken by me and other juniors sooner or later!" Li Longfan said with his fists raised.

Li Linghui smiled and patted his head: "Blue is better than blue because of blue. You should have surpassed us. But it is not so easy for me to pass."

"Hmph, I can continue to study with my aunt in the future, and I will definitely achieve greater achievements!" Li Longji said with a stinky face.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xianhui pinned his head: "We have the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the country, how can we compete with each other?"

"My aunt once said that healthy competition is a good thing, why not?" Li Longji objected.

Li Yuechen smiled and said: "Yes, but since it is a healthy competition, you shouldn't put your mind on it here. The competition is just a matter of chance, and protecting the country is the real important task. Don't confuse it!"

"Don't worry, aunt! My nephew understands!" Li Longji approached with a smile, "A few days ago, my nephew was the first in riding and shooting in the test!"

"Hehe, the third from the bottom in the sand table deduction!" Li Xianhui mocked, "I will call you the third from the bottom in the future."

"That's your trick!"

"Soldiers never tire of cheating! Don't you understand this?"

Seeing the children making noise, Li Yuechen also felt that it was really interesting. It reminded her of the time when she was fighting with a group of children in the orphanage.

Li Shu and Li Linghui, who have already graduated, also watched them quarreling with each other with a smile, thinking that the life in the military academy was really interesting.

Then Li Yuechen said: "Speaking of which, the two of you are about the same age now. If you are on vacation on weekdays, you can go to Qingzhou and other places to go more. If you meet a suitable person, you can get married earlier."

Li Yuechen had already set the tone for the marriage of royal women.

They can marry with the same family surnamed Li three generations away, or they can marry outsiders.

But it doesn't have to be the same as before, making it look like a marriage in the south, one of the parties in such a marriage will also feel aggrieved.

It is also not necessary to use the husband's surname. After marriage, it is still the Li family of the royal family, and the royal family is the mother's family.

For men in this era, it is like marrying a wife whose family conditions are better than their own. It may be a little stressful, but it will not be as embarrassing as being a son-in-law.

Li Yuechen also told these royal women that after marriage, unless the husband has inhumane problems, try not to look for her in person.

After all, marriage is ultimately managed by two people. If you play face-to-face all day long, what kind of marriage is there?
This point is not mandatory. After all, it is an imperial society, especially between the royal family and other people. The status is not equal, and it is not suitable to use the law to enforce fairness.

It can only be said that more efforts should be made in education to try to make their future families more harmonious.

……

When it comes to this topic, Li Linghui has a different opinion: "Don't worry, aunt, we have no intention of getting married yet."

Although Li Yuechen has tried to avoid spreading some unconventional ideas in this era, but under the influence of his ears and eyes, these children really value their own life pursuits more than getting married and having children.

Although the royal family has been confined to the army all their lives, they can still display their value, and there is no need to marry themselves off early.

"Well, but you have to think about this matter yourself. If you have the idea of ​​getting married, you still have to pay attention to the time." Li Yuchen reminded.

Now the two sisters are sixteen or seventeen years old, and they have already entered the ranks of leftover women in this age.If you really have to delay it for a few more years, it's really hard to find.

However, Li Yuechen also has other opinions. This time, he plans to tell his mother to limit the marriage age of men and women to above 14 years old.

Dongdu is okay, almost all of them are at this age.

But in many areas, there are quite a few girls who get married at the age of twelve or thirteen.At an age when I am not yet fully developed, I have to prepare for having a child, so the rate of dystocia is high, and giving birth every time is no less than going to the gate of hell.

In fact, Li Yuechen's original idea was to limit the age of marriage to above 16 years old, but it was not realistic. In this day and age, a man can call himself an old man after [-] years old. New Years may be more stressful for families.

So 14 years old is the result of Li Yuechen's careful consideration, at least it is much better than those who got married at the age of eleven or twelve.

Anyway, the effect of the food experiment is good now. After a few years, the living standards of the people will improve, and the average life expectancy can be improved, and then the marriage age will be adjusted to 16 years old.

Li Shu nodded slightly: "Well, don't worry, Auntie. I really have the heart to wait for the girls of the royal family, and I'm afraid I won't find a husband and son-in-law?"

There is nothing wrong with what you said. If a royal woman really wants to lower her requirements, she will definitely not worry about marrying.

"Well, in short, you can handle this matter by yourself. The key is to make yourself comfortable." Li Yuechen nodded.

As an aunt, she doesn't want to take care of the children's private affairs too much. Now that they have a lot of knowledge, they have all kinds of thoughts, so let them manage their own problems in life.

Today's dinner party was extremely lively, and there was no limited meal time like usual, so both Li Yuechen and the others and the soldiers made a fuss before leaving the cafeteria until midnight.

Li Yuechen also took a comfortable bath and then went back to sleep. He was going to leave early tomorrow morning, so he should hurry up to sleep and rest.

Early the next morning, before the sun came out, Li Yuechen got up early, finished his yoga practice, changed his clothes under Xiaodong's service, and came to the takeoff field in the backyard.

On the way, the children also got dressed and came out. After saying hello to each other, they formed a team and came to the take-off site.

Not far from the airship, Li Shu and Li Linghui stood in front, and behind them were all the soldiers standing straight.

With a "crash", everyone saluted together, and said in unison: "Respectfully, Your Highness!"
