Chapter 574
Tang Qing sneered and threw the note in front of him: "Isn't it? Doesn't His Royal Highness King Xuan feel that his words are inconsistent?"

"What this king means is that there must be some reason for this?"

"What's the reason?"

"I don't know yet."

"No matter what the reason is, it is a certain fact that the eldest lady was injured!" Tang Qing's eyes spit fire, "I am here to fight for you, and your royal family bullies my fiancée in the palace. Is this appropriate?"

"General Tang, don't get excited."

"I'm going back to Beijing now!"

"The enemy is now, and you, as the commander, want to leave?" Gu Changyuan was displeased, "Tang Qing, you are so affectionate, are you worthy of the brothers who lived and died with you? Are you worthy of the people of Minzhong County?"

Tang Qing sneered: "If Prince Xuan thinks that I am a hero with the world in mind, then you have misunderstood me. In my heart, the so-called country and people combined are not as important as the eldest lady alone."

"You are honest."

"I always have."

"You've gone back, so what?" Gu Changyuan said indifferently, "Or, are you going to lead the army back to teach father a lesson and vent your anger on your young lady?"

"At least if I'm in the capital, no one will dare to touch the eldest lady!"

"Young people should be less impulsive. We are thousands of miles away, and there are many things that we can't understand clearly. It's better to wait a little longer." Gu Changyuan said calmly, "General Tang, tell me first, what is the purpose of you coming to me?"

Tang Qing was a little upset, but she suppressed her worries about Yingning, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, I'm short of ships here."

"Boats?" Gu Changyuan laughed, "It shouldn't be, as far as I know, you should have at least twenty large ships in your hands, which are enough for war."

"Twenty boats?" Tang Qing laughed angrily. "Last time, the strong wind sank two boats and damaged three boats. During the two battles with Japanese pirates, five or six boats were damaged, and a few boats were also broken. Tie, there is no way to fight a war at all! Seeing that the Japanese pirates are about to launch their last major attack, I only have five or six ships left in my hands, how can I fight this battle?"

Gu Changyuan said: "Now you know that fighting on the sea and fighting on the grassland are completely different things, right?"

"In my opinion, there is no difference. Horses are needed to fight on the grassland, and ships are needed to fight on the sea. It's that simple!" Tang Qing frowned.

"Since General Tang is short of ships, why didn't he buy them from the local shipyard? Could it be that he lacked money?"

"I've been there, but the local officials made various excuses, even saying that the old boatman at the shipyard was sick and couldn't build a ship!"

"Have you been to the shipyard?"

"I've been there."

"How about it?"

"There are hundreds of people in the shipyard, but most of them are young craftsmen, and a few backbone old boatmen are indeed sick and dying." Tang Qing said with a sullen face, "Before I came, my adoptive father warned me that if I want to accept Zhang Gaoqiu's territory is not that easy. Now I have finally learned it!"

"This is just the beginning."

"What do you mean?"

"Look at this," Gu Changyuan handed over a piece of paper, "This is the weather forecast by Qin Tianjian. In about ten days, the temperature along the coast will drop sharply, and it will even snow. Especially in Chuanshan County, the terrain Gao. Can General Tang prepare enough winter coats for his soldiers?"

"Didn't it mean that the weather in Minzhong County is warm, and it's snowing?"

"Compared to the capital city, central Fujian is indeed warmer and has less snow, but that doesn't mean it will never snow." Gu Changyuan said slowly, "It is absolutely too late to transport supplies from the capital city now."
