Great Tang princess

Chapter 839

After breakfast, everyone started to wander around the military area, chatting by the way.

Now that the first month has not yet passed, the mountains in the northeast are covered with heavy snow, and everywhere you look, there is a vast expanse of whiteness.

In the yard, there are many snowmen made by soldiers in different shapes.

You can even see the battlefield left after the snowball fight, which is a mess, and you can see the tragic degree of the battle at that time.

From time to time, small black dots flickered back and forth on the distant mountains. They were soldiers participating in ski training. Because they were too far away, they would cause this feeling in the field of vision.

"I knew it was cold here before, but I never thought it would be so cold..." Li Linghui said as he walked.

At this time, her eyelashes are covered with a layer of frost, which looks like the image in a fairy tale.

Of course, everyone else looked similar, even Liu Huang's beard was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

"That being said, this place is not considered humid, so if you wear tight clothes, you'll be fine." Liu Huang replied with a smile.

Li Linghui felt cold because she was not from here after all, and it would be fine if she got used to it after staying for a long time.

"Speaking of which, I kind of miss the days when I went skiing here with my aunt." Li Chongrun replied with a smile.

"Why don't I learn too." Li Linghui replied as if talking to himself.

Li Yuechen smiled: "Be careful when you are studying, it will hurt if you fall!"

……

The group walked and chatted, and Liu Huang introduced the situation here to Li Linghui, so that she could have a basic understanding.

Then I ate at noon, and went to watch the training of the soldiers for a while in the afternoon.

For most of the officers in the military region, they have also received news that the commander will be replaced.

But this doesn't have much to do with them. The farewell party for Liu Huang has already been held, so just do your own thing well.

In the army, there is basically no such thing as replacing a commander and eliminating dissidents.

The main reason is that the army is not the court, and the orders of the superiors to the subordinates are absolute.

In the imperial court, what the minister said, the servant may really not fuck you.

But not in the army, my rank is higher than yours, so you have to listen to what I say!Otherwise it is a violation of military regulations!
What's more, Li Linghui is also a child of the royal family, and he has a natural majesty in front of ordinary people.

It gets dark earlier here, and the sky starts to get dark as soon as the hour passes.

Everyone returned to Liu Huang's office, chatting casually.

They didn't go back to rest until after dinner.

Early the next morning, Liu Huang woke up early under the habit of the biological clock and went to the yard to warm up.

After opening the door, they found that Li Yuechen was already in the yard.

At this time, she raised her left leg high and pressed it against a tree, forming a straight line with her two legs.

"Your Highness."

"Morning. Speaking of which, I'm going back today, how do you feel?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile.

Liu Huang thought for a while: "I'm somewhat reluctant, after all, it's been so many years."

"It's okay, maybe I'll have time to come back and have a look in the future." Li Yuechen said with a smile.

Liu Huang didn't take this sentence seriously, thinking she was comforting himself.

After all, these two places are thousands of miles apart. Even though there is an airship now, if I go back this time, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to come back again.

At this time, a young man in his early 20s came running outside: "Grandpa, it's time to..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Yuechen in the yard, and quickly came over to salute: "Master!"

With a "slap", Liu Huang slapped him on the head: "Bastard! Call Your Highness!"

"Hey, forget it!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "It's fine to call her Shigu."

Like Liu Huang, this young man has a wild hairstyle, perhaps because he grew up on the border.

Li Chongrun and the others still had to care a little bit, and they still tied their braids behind their heads.

And this young man directly cut it into a hairstyle similar to an inch-cut. It's a pity that Mr. Tony's level is not very good these days, and the overall look of this hair looks like it has been eaten by a dog.

This is Liu Zhiwei, Liu Huang's eldest son, whom Li Yuechen met once when he was a child.

Liu Huang did not marry a wife, only two concubines, a total of two sons and a daughter.

Because the quality of teaching here can't keep up, none of the three children have graduated yet.

This time Liu Huang went back, of course, to drag his family back, and by the way, let the three children go to the military academy in Dongdu to study hard.

But this kid is quite a thieves, and he knows how to make connections when he comes up, which makes Li Yuechen feel a little funny.

The son came over to tell him that everything was packed and he was about to leave.

Then Liu Huang sent his son to leave, and went to say goodbye to the senior officers by himself.

By the way, tell them that they should be obedient to the new commander in the future, and don't make troubles, which can be regarded as saving Li Linghui a little trouble.

……

After finishing everything and having breakfast, everyone came to the square.

High-ranking military officers all came out to see each other off, wishing Liu Huang a promotion, and he responded with a smile.

At this time, a group of young soldiers also came out with a lean figure.

Walking in the middle was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties, wearing a thick black wool coat.

There is only a short layer of stubble on his face, and a pigtail is tied at the back of his head, looking like a middle-aged artist in the future.

While smiling and talking to the young soldiers around him, he walked towards the airship leaning on crutches.

He couldn't use his right leg, so he had to rely on the crutch held in his right hand as an auxiliary support.

"Okay, okay, don't give them away, you guys have to train hard in the future, don't let me end up like this!"

Zhou Daniu laughed and said to a group of young soldiers beside him as he walked.

These are all the soldiers he personally brought out over the years, some have become officers, some are senior non-commissioned officers, and the youngest one is now a sergeant.

"Master, didn't you say that everyone in your family may not recognize you? Why don't you go back and take root here. I'll build a house and farm for Master, and for Master..."

"Okay! The fallen leaves have to return to their roots, so I'll go back!" Zhou Daniu smiled and shook his head, rejecting the disciple's proposal.

And he didn't want to cause trouble for the apprentices here, there was really no need for that.

Besides, even if your family doesn't recognize you when you go back, you can still live well.

Although I don't know what the treatment will be after I retire from the army, but according to the feedback from the family members of those comrades who have died, it must not be too bad.

When he came to the airship and was about to wait for the next arrangement, Zhou Daniu suddenly heard a voice.

"Master, I haven't seen you for many years, is it okay?"

This voice is very familiar, I should have heard it before, but I can't remember it anyway.

Zhou Daniu turned his head in doubt, intending to see who it was.

As a result, when he saw this, his eyes widened all of a sudden.

Although it's almost ten years since I saw her, this face is still not forgotten.

After being stunned for a moment, he was about to salute immediately: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Hey hey..."

Li Chongrun hastily walked two steps over to help him up: "I am a disciple, master don't need to salute."

"How dare you! His Royal Highness..."

"Okay, Master was wounded for the country, so there is no need to salute!" Li Chongrun helped him up.

He was about to thank him when he saw Li Yuechen standing beside him, looking at him with a smile.

"His Royal Highness!" Zhou Daniu opened his eyes wide, and then he wanted to salute again.

"Okay, the crown prince has said it all, he is exempt from being injured for the country!" Li Yuechen walked over with a smile, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "You have worked hard all these years!"

There was no condescending princess air in her tone of voice when she spoke, like an old friend was easygoing.

Hearing this sentence, Zhou Daniu's eyes turned red, and his nose twitched slightly.

He said in a trembling voice: "Subordinate! Finally, I didn't embarrass Your Highness!"

"That's right! Not only is it not ashamed, but I am also proud of you!" Li Yuechen smiled, "I vaguely remember that you followed me to the front line in Tubo, going through life and death. When the eastern capital was flooded, if it weren't for you Now, I'm afraid I'm going to drown..."

Listening to her memories, Zhou Daniu couldn't bear it anymore, tears rolled down his eyes: "It turns out that His Highness still remembers..."

"You are all the first batch of soldiers brought out by the palace personally. How many times have you been born and died together, how can you forget?" Li Yuechen replied.

Zhou Daniu burst into tears after hearing this. A middle-aged man with a vicious face was crying like a child in the snow and ice.

"Okay, don't cry anymore. Now that the service period has expired, it can be regarded as a retired one. I will take you home!" Li Yuechen lightly punched him on the chest.

Seeing that the eldest princess can still remember the little soldiers under her once, the three children standing beside Liu Huang felt a little inconceivable.

After all, she is the princess of the royal family, and she is not one of the most powerful people in Tang Dynasty today!

However, Li Yuechen didn't worry about it, he just waved his hand and announced to get on the airship and set off for home.

Once inside the airship, Zhou Daniu was a little embarrassed, because he had never been on this thing before, so he didn't know how to handle it.

A young soldier in the driving team came over and told him how to get the seat belt, and then said: "This veteran, take off your coat. There is not much wind in the cabin, and you will sweat easily when you wear it."

"Ah good!"

Zhou Daniu agreed, and took off his overcoat, revealing the military uniform inside.

The moment he saw the military uniform, the young soldier in front of him was dumbfounded.

I saw that the left chest button of the black military uniform that had already removed the epaulettes had ten plaques hanging on it!

The first two signs are gold-plated, with a round jade inlaid inside, and engraved words around: Great Tang hero!

The last three are also gold-plated, but not inlaid with jade, and the inscriptions are: First-class hero of the Tang Dynasty!
The materials of the next few brands are different, and they are engraved with second-class and third-class heroes respectively.

Now young soldiers in the army are very aware of what this brand represents, not only the highest honor, but also the guarantee after discharge.

A third-class military medal, after retiring from the army, you can receive two buckets of rice and three catties of meat every month.

Second-class merit, in addition to the above, after retiring from the army, you and your immediate family members will go to the hospital for free.

The first-class merit not only has all the above-mentioned benefits, but the key is that the child can directly enter the school for free.

As for the special class, plus a house for free after retiring from the army.In addition, you can choose to plant ten acres of land yourself.If you don't want to farm, then give a sum of money, the value of which is equivalent to ten mu of land.

There is no time limit for these benefits, until the person dies!
The most important thing is that this can be superimposed. If you have enough military medals, the salary will be doubled!
Of course, this also means that it is very difficult to obtain military medals.

It might have been easier ten years ago, but now that the military system has been perfected and there are no wars, it is very difficult to obtain military medals.

So when he saw the plethora of military medals, the young soldier was naturally incredulous.

It is really unimaginable how long the veteran in front of him has been in the army before he can have ten military medals.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing the young soldier staring at him, Zhou Daniu couldn't help asking.

The young soldier shook his head, and raised his hand in a very respectful salute.

Zhou Daniu also stood up and returned the salute, and then the young soldier turned and left.

Li Yuechen, who saw this scene before, smiled slightly, the army should be like this, this is a kind of inheritance!
Veterans can become the object of admiration for recruits, which is of great benefit to the future development of the army.

In fact, the military medal was originally intended to be made of pure gold, but considering that the current level of craftsmanship cannot keep up, resulting in a relatively long production cost and cycle, the method of gold plating and jade inlay was adopted.

Both the special merit and the first-class merit are plated with gold, the difference is whether it is inlaid with jade.The second-class and third-class merits are made of copper, and there is also a difference between whether they are inlaid with jade or not.

Then the airship took off slowly and set off to the destination.

Zhou Daniu, who was riding an airship for the first time, couldn't help looking left and right, feeling novelty no matter what he saw.

"Master, how do you feel?" Li Chongrun asked him how he felt for fear that he might have a fear of heights.

Zhou Daniu looked around: "Your Highness, I don't know. If we had this kind of artifact back then, we would have captured the enemy alive for the first time in our battle against Tubo!"

"No way, the technology couldn't keep up at that time, and there was no money to do it." Li Yuechen in front spoke with a smile.

Of course he also knew that it was impossible, that was just a little emotion.

Li Chongrun then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, who else is in Master's family?"

"I am the eldest in the family. After my grandfather passed away, I entered the army. I also have two younger brothers. Before I left, I asked them to take care of my mother. It's just...it's been almost 30 years, and I don't know if my mother is still alive. ..." Zhou Daniu recalled.

When he first joined the army, he really didn't have any means of communication with his family, and ordinary soldiers couldn't write letters to his family.

After the Qingdao Navy was established, the hang glider began to be used to deliver letters.

But at that time, there were not many of them, and they could not be used to send letters to ordinary soldiers, so naturally there was no such opportunity.

Later, when he arrived in the Northeast, he also asked someone to deliver a letter to his family, but he did not reply.

"Just remember where home is!" Li Yuechen who was next to him said.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I remember this!" Zhou Daniu replied quickly.
