Great Tang princess

Chapter 838 Welcome
In the end, Li Yuechen still couldn't make up his mind whether to establish a separate air force or establish an aviation force among the existing army and navy.

But there is no need to worry about this matter, anyway, it hasn't been done yet, and the driver will have to be trained after it is done.

The pilot training period of the aircraft takes at least a year, and the anti-overload training and theoretical subjects alone need more than half a year.

So don't worry about this matter, let's think about watching the fireworks with my family first today.

This can be regarded as an activity that has attracted the attention of the whole people in recent years, and countless poets will write poems and publish them in newspapers after the Lantern Festival.

There are even many people who have become famous because of this, but it's a pity that Li Yuechen has not seen the names that he saw in the Chinese books back then.

But if you think about it carefully, now that history has become like this because of your own reasons, it is hard to say whether people like Li Bai and Du Fu will appear.

Of course, there are also many good poems that people can't help but praise, but Li Yuechen is not very good at appreciating them, and he doesn't pay too much attention to them.

After all, as long as there is no impression, it means that it should not have appeared in the language document.

……

At night, the family sat on the city wall again, drinking tea and chatting while watching the fireworks blooming in the sky.

This year's fireworks are much bigger and brighter than last year's. It can be seen that the craftsmen in charge of making fireworks are constantly improving their skills.

Under the fireworks that exploded in the air, there was an endless stream of hawking and crowds of people.

At this moment, the dignitaries and ordinary people on the street were mixed together, all smiling as they watched the fireworks exploding in the sky one after another.

Then we had a good time drinking and talking, put aside the troubles of the past year, and prayed that the new year would be better.

Many blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners mixed in the crowd and danced and danced to celebrate.

And above Luoshui, there are river lanterns of all sizes.

These flickering lights carry people's hopes and gradually drift into the distance.

When the fireworks are over, people gather in groups of three or four and gradually release the lighted sky lanterns in their hands into the sky.

Compared with the beauty of fireworks blooming in an instant, the Kongming lanterns all over the sky show a kind of static beauty.

Like the starry sky at night, it is not so bright, but it cannot be ignored.

Wu Zetian, who was wrapped in a thick cloak, was leaning on the back of the chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking at the scattered Kongming lanterns in the sky, with a smile on his face.

Looking back, decades ago, I would never have imagined that I could still see such a scene.

Memories of the past few decades flashed in my mind, and I looked at my daughter who was chatting with her brothers and sisters next to her. She smiled, and there was a look of nostalgia in her eyes.

A gust of cold wind blew, making her cough slightly.

……

After the Shangyuan Festival passed, the Tang Empire also came out of the holiday and officially started to work.

Li Yuechen received Liu Huang's reply letter, saying that he was willing to obey the orders and was ready to come back immediately.

Seeing this reply, Li Yuechen felt relieved.

Liu Huang is his senior brother. Although he has been in the military academy, he still has a rich and powerful thinking in essence.

I was afraid that he would feel unhappy if he came back, that he would be deposed from the military power, and would have objections to the prince Li Chongrun.

Although it is true that Li Chongrun is also from the army, he is still too young after all, and the coercion is still not enough before he really sits on the dragon chair.

What Li Yuechen had to do was to suppress those who might disobey him.

But fortunately, Liu Huang didn't have any special ideas. He said in the letter that he had no objection to this transfer and would be back right away.

This made Li Yuechen feel very happy. The cooperation of the senior brother saved him a lot of trouble.

……

At the same time, Li Chongrun, who had just returned from the gym, also received a report in the office of the Minister of War.

The content of this report is very simple. A veteran of the Northeast Military Region was injured in the friction with foreigners a few days ago, and one leg became lame.

Although it was not life-threatening, it was indeed impossible to continue training, so he applied for discharge from the army.

It is normal for the Northeast Military Region to have friction with foreigners, basically every three to five times.

However, it is rare for soldiers on my side to be injured. Because of the crushing of weapons and tactical thinking, every time this kind of friction basically kills dozens of people from foreign races, there is nothing wrong here.

But this time the soldier was injured, the main reason was that he was old and could not keep up with his physical strength.

In addition, it was to save a young but inexperienced comrade in arms at the time, so he was cut on the calf.

Treatment was done at that time, but after the injury healed, I found that I couldn't use my calf, and even couldn't stand stably. I needed to walk with a cane.

Therefore, in desperation, he applied for early discharge from the army.

Li Yuechen's retirement time was October, while recruits enlisted in June. After three months of recruit training, veterans were discharged after they entered the company.

The process of early discharge needs to be reviewed, so the report was sent to the Ministry of War.

As far as Li Chongrun is concerned, since the report has been sent to him, he has to read it, sign it and stamp it with the official seal of the Ministry of War, and the matter will be settled.

However, when he saw the soldier's name and information, he was slightly taken aback.

After reading this document on the chair for a few minutes, he closed the folder, stood up and said, "Come here!"

"Your Highness!" Personal Secretary An Lan walked in.

"Prepare the horse, I have to go to the Engineering Academy alone!"

"Yes!"

It's just past time now, and my aunt should still be in the engineering college.

So Li Chongrun rode directly to the Engineering Academy to find Li Yuechen.

Seeing Li Chongrun suddenly come looking for him, Li Yuechen took him to an empty laboratory: "What is it?"

"Auntie, my old squad leader applied for early discharge, and I want to pick him up." Li Chongrun handed over the folder in his hand.

After opening it and looking at it carefully, Li Yuechen sighed: "Zhou Daniu, it's been so many years in a blink of an eye..."

Li Yuechen knew about Zhou Daniu, a soldier.

Because this was a soldier she served when she rebuilt Qianniuwei, and she was born in the same year as her.

The first batch of Qianniuwei soldiers were all trained by themselves, so Li Yuechen could basically call everyone by name.

Li Yuechen was 14 years old when Qianniuwei was reformed. This soldier is the same age as her, and he is 40 years old this year, that is to say, he has served in the army for 26 years.

At the beginning in Qianniuwei, I fought against Lun Qinling with Li Yuechen; at the same time, I also participated in the Dongdu flood rescue operation; later I followed to Qingdao, formed a navy, and participated in several bandit suppression operations;
During this time in Qingdao, he also worked as a military training instructor for Li Chongrun and other royal children.

Later, the Northeast Military Region was established, and as the first batch of instructors, he stayed in Daxing'anling to train recruits.

He is now a sergeant major, the highest rank a soldier can achieve.

It was because of his experience in Qingdao that Li Chongrun called him the old squad leader.

……

Li Yuechen nodded after reading it: "His family belongs to Dongdu, right? Why did he go to pick him up?"

"Back then, because we were all children of the royal family, the instructors were actually very afraid of us. Only he could chat with me and others sincerely. Although he has no education, he taught me a lot of knowledge in the army and talked about my aunt The story of ... can be regarded as my master."

While speaking, there was a little nostalgia on his expression.

Listening to his answer, Li Yuechen nodded secretly in his heart, respecting the teacher, has always been a good character in this land.

As a prince, if he can not forget his original intention, he is right.

So he smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "In that case, then go, aunt will accompany you!"

"Aunt is going too?" Li Chongrun raised his head.

"This guy was trained by me personally back then, so he's an old acquaintance!" Li Yuechen laughed loudly, "Besides, Liu Huang is still my senior brother, why don't you pick him up?"

Then the aunt and nephew got on the airship bound for Northeast China that night, and went straight to their destination.

……

Two days later, the Northeast Military Region.

Liu Huang got up early, looked at the bright light in the sky outside the window, and began to dress.

I have been here for so many years, and I train with the soldiers every morning, so Liu Huang, who is nearly 50 years old, is not bloated at all.

Although there are a lot more gray hairs, the whole person still looks very energetic.

It's just that in terms of physical fitness, I can't compare with the young soldiers on the front line, so I will be left behind every time.

The dawn here is relatively early, and generally speaking, the drums are played after the sun rises.

After getting dressed, Liu Huang opened the door, came into the yard, and exhaled a mouthful of fog visible to the naked eye.

Then while warming up, he thought, the person who will take over from him today is coming, so he should go too.

However, the habit of so many years is really not easy to change. When the drums sounded, Liu Huang still waited for the soldiers to gather and went to run with them.

After the ten-kilometer run, the soldiers had half an hour to clean up the hygiene and housekeeping, and then it was time for breakfast.

Liu Huang also went back to take a shower, then sorted out the documents, planning to go to dinner later.

At this time, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky. Liu Huang opened the door and went to the yard. When he looked up, two airships were slowly coming from different directions.

One of them obviously came from Qingdao, and it was the person who succeeded him.

But the other plane seemed to be coming from Dongdu. Could it be an urgent mission?
Not long after, the two airships landed on the wide square of the military area.

The hatch on the left opened, and Li Linghui, who was wearing a white military uniform, came down.

Although it was wrapped in a thick animal skin cloak, judging from the slightly trembling legs, it seemed that he still felt uncomfortable with the cold climate here.

And the hatch of another airship opened, and when the figure in the thick cloak jumped down, Liu Huang couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The ponytail raised high at the back of the head overlapped with the memories of many years ago, and there was nothing abrupt about it.

Liu Huang walked over quickly, and said excitedly, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

"Senior brother, no courtesy!" Li Yuechen smiled and stretched out his hand to help him up, then tilted his head and looked at him, "I haven't seen you for many years, senior brother has aged a lot."

"Yes..." Liu Huang nodded with a wry smile, "But Your Highness is still young!"

"I'm not young anymore, and I have gray hair, look!" Li Yuechen pulled his ponytail from the back of his head to the front, and showed him the only white hair hidden among the black hair.

This was discovered by accident when I was idle on the airship when I came here.

Liu Huang was a little helpless. It seemed that His Highness was not only in appearance, but even in character, there were no traces of time left on her.

Then he quickly changed the subject and saluted Li Chongrun behind her: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Hey, Gu is also a soldier, General Liu can just salute Gu!" Li Chongrun said.

Such a sentence made Liu Huang nod secretly in his heart, as expected of someone taught by His Highness himself.

At this time Li Linghui also came over to salute and say hello, and then said to Liu Huang: "It's so cold, go in and talk, I haven't had breakfast yet!"

"It's a coincidence, let's go to the cafeteria first!" Liu Huang smiled and led the way.

The soldiers were not polite, and everyone went directly to the cafeteria to start eating breakfast.

At the same time, I would like to talk about various matters related to the succession. In fact, it is nothing. Li Linghui is also the deputy commander of the military region, so she understands what to do.

However, she still listened to Liu Huang introduce the specific situation to her, and her attitude was very humble.

When breakfast was about to be finished, Liu Huang asked, "I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess are here, what are your orders?"

"Zhou Daniu, who retired early, is this kid's master. He comes over to pick you up. You are my senior brother again, so come over to pick you up too!" Li Yuechen replied with a smile.

"He Dehe Neng, let His Highness personally come and greet you..."

"Okay, okay, you and I, brothers and sisters, don't need to say those polite words!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "I'm still waiting for you to return to Dongdu and continue to be loyal to Datang!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, your subordinates will definitely do their best to assist His Highness the Crown Prince in dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of War!" Liu Huang replied with a serious face.

With these words, this thing is done!

Li Yuechen nodded slightly, and patted him on the shoulder, expressing that he was very happy.

This brother knows what he means, so he can't treat him badly.

At least as long as he doesn't try to kill himself, there is no problem in keeping his Liu family undefeated for three generations!

In this way, it can be regarded as worthy of the master's kindness in preaching and teaching... Li Yuechen thought to himself.

After finishing breakfast, Li Chongrun said, "Auntie, then I'll go visit Master..."

"Hey, don't worry!"

Li Yuechen directly stopped him: "Anyway, we will start tomorrow, so don't let him find out today. Wouldn't it be a surprise to appear in front of him tomorrow?"

While speaking, there is still a child's smile on his face when he is playing pranks.

Because Zhou Daniu is injured now, he doesn't need to do exercises recently, and he is recuperating in the dormitory.

What's more, when the airship landed, the soldiers were cleaning up the hygiene and housekeeping. They probably didn't know that the princess and prince Li Yuechen came here in person this time.

So this surprise is very likely to be established.

Hearing this proposal, Li Chongrun felt a little bored, and couldn't help but think, how old is he, who still wants to play this kind of trick?
