Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 293 Li Junxian suddenly appeared, Cheng Chumo was not surprised at all

Xue Rengui is not stupid.

With such a heavy snowfall, my father-in-law urgently issued an order.

Either good or bad.

For now, it seems that good things are definitely gone.

King Jin and King Wu were scolded inside.

Xue Rengui listened carefully and understood the reason.

So ever!
Xue Rengui took a deep breath outside the hall, trying to recover to the state where his face was not red and he was not panting.

After clearing up his mood, Xue Rengui began to pat the snow on his body.

Although the white snow does not affect the charm of his white robe, it is for Xue Rengui who is somewhat obsessive-compulsive.

His white robe cannot tolerate any foreign objects to defile him.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Rengui spoke out of the hall full of spirit.

"My son-in-law is here to pay respects to my father-in-law."

When Li Shimin in the hall heard the words, his eyes went straight to the door.

"Rengui, come in!"

Li Shimin's voice fell to the ground, and Xue Rengui stepped into the hall with great strides.

Hey!
Li Shimin's eyes lit up instantly, this kid looks good.

"Rengui, what have you been doing recently? Have you ever been addicted to wine and sex?"

Li Shimin was neither sad nor happy, his face was calm, and he waited quietly for Xue Rengui's answer.

"Returning to my father-in-law, my son-in-law is considering and thinking about the next battle plan recently."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin is not angry anymore. As the coach, he has no reason to be angry at all.

"A virtuous son-in-law is worthy, a virtuous son-in-law is noble, come, come sit down beside your father-in-law and talk."

Li Shimin waved with a smile, turned to look at Li Ke and Li Zhi, and sternly reprimanded.

"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, in the future, he will be in charge of one side and govern one place. Are you two ashamed to hear Xue Rengui's words?"

Li Shimin's words made Li Ke and Li Zhi unable to lift their heads in shame.

Li Ke and Li Zhi felt bitter, but they couldn't talk about it yet.

As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked.

The reason why they are like this is not because they learned everything from their father. They didn't expect to be scolded just like this before they learned the essence.

"Father-in-law, don't get angry, don't get angry. Your highnesses are at the age of youth and vitality. If you hold back some things for a long time, it is definitely not a good thing, and it is easy to hold back your body."

"Furthermore, our army won a big victory, so we should celebrate it. If not, wouldn't the hearts of the soldiers be chilled."

"As Your Majesty said, the world is very big, and there are many, many places that need soldiers from the Tang Dynasty."

"Care for illness, use soldiers. What does it mean to use soldiers for recuperation? Naturally, they should be used when they should be used, and they should be raised when they should be raised. Otherwise, how could the soldiers willingly throw their heads and blood for Datang, regardless of their own lives..."

Li Shimin's eyes widened, this Xue Rengui was actually a little daft.

Li Ke and Li Zhi also gave Xue Rengui grateful eyes.

If it wasn't for Xue Rengui, they don't know how long they would be scolded by their father.

Xue Rengui saw that he had succeeded in fooling, so he had no choice but to continue fooling.

"Father-in-law, you must have a measure in everything, whether it is raising soldiers or using them, you must pay attention to the word."

"My son-in-law thinks, this time, we did raise a bit too much..."

"These days my son-in-law has learned from the pain. It can be said that he has racked his brains and hurt his head."

That's all Xue Rengui said, his brows twisted into a Sichuan shape.

"My son-in-law, do you have a good strategy?"

Li Shimin has been completely fooled into a small alley by Xue Rengui.

"Have…"

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law thinks that according to the current situation, military discipline must be reorganized and relaxed."

"Oh, what does it mean to be relaxed?"

Li Shimin was too familiar with the reorganization of military discipline, and he was relaxed, so Li Shimin was a little confused.

"Father-in-law, do you want to scold the generals in an urgent order?"

Li Shimin's eyes shot out when he heard this.

This bastard knows a lot.

Could it be Li Chunfeng who leaked the secret?

Probably not.

If so, Li Chunfeng has no reason to not tell King Jin and King Wu.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin nodded earnestly.

It was an admission that Xue Rengui was right.

"Father-in-law, since you have made the soldiers grateful, why should you scold them again?"

"My son-in-law has something to say, I don't know if my father-in-law agrees with it."

Xue Rengui whispered something in Li Shimin's ear, causing Li Shimin to stroke his beard and burst out laughing.

"Rengui, my father-in-law can't bear to let you be this villain."

Li Shimin didn't expect Xue Rengui to be so transparent.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I, Xue Rengui, have always convinced people with reason, and if it is impossible, I will convince people with force, and if I can't, I will convince people with food."

"We are not afraid of being reasonable, and we are even more afraid of fighting. They dare not be dissatisfied than eating. My son-in-law is not going to deal with these people one by one."

Li Shimin was completely amused by Xue Rengui's words.

Even Li Ke and Li Zhi couldn't help covering their mouths and giggling.

This special meow can be eaten, and Xue Rengui boasted that he is so tall, and there is really no one else.

Li Shimin finally accepted Xue Rengui's suggestion.

Because in Li Shimin's view, this is a way to get the best of both worlds.

He can not only live up to Li Chunfeng's risky admonition, but also restore military discipline, and he, Li Shimin, has also earned the reputation of a good old man.

At this time, all the generals also came in the snow.

Xue Rengui directly brought all the generals to the meeting hall for discussion.

After some discussions, the military discipline will be restructured from now on.

Xue Rengui even took out the training plan of the special warfare training camp, and made all the generals stunned.

Who knows, that special warfare training camp can be called a devil training camp.

Just now walking one by one with the support of the wall, can the body that is about to be hollowed out hold up?
"Generals, you can't do without practice."

"If this continues, our soldiers didn't die on the battlefield, they all died on the belly of their mothers..."

"It is not the enemy who wiped out our army, but one woman after another..."

"If His Majesty finds out about this, you, me, all the generals present here, I see you, whoever the hell will not be able to eat, and walk around."

When Xue Rengui's words fell to the ground, all the generals fell silent.

"I agree with what General Xue said!"

Wang Xuance was the first to stand up and support.

"I agree."

Xi Junmai naturally also helped.

The remaining generals naturally knew that this period of time was indeed too absurd.

They all agreed.

It was so happily decided.

Throughout the winter, because of the severe cold, the army began to recharge their batteries and train hard here.

As for the end of the training, do they still have the energy and strength to crawl up their belly.

That's up to each other.

On the next second day, Li Shimin had seen the damage of excessive drinking and sex to the soldiers.

Early the next morning, it was still snowing heavily.

The snow on the ground has reached the ankles.

Xue Rengui personally led the army, and began to march around the castle for training.

The so-called rapid march training is naturally running training.

And it is still heavy, every soldier must carry a flintlock on his back.

After many days of excessive drinking, many soldiers swayed their legs when walking, let alone walking with heavy loads.

As a result, after one lap, more than half of them fell behind.

After two laps, there were less than one ten left.

Li Shimin was heartbroken.

Thanks to Li Chunfeng's timely reminder, if it continues to be neglected, it will be really terrible.

Xue Rengui did not immediately punish the laggards.

As the so-called law does not blame the public, there are too many people left behind, which has exceeded Xue Rengui's imagination.

After the last five laps, there were no more than a hundred people who could persist, and there was Li Chunfeng among them.

Li Chunfeng is also emotional, if he used to train with the soldiers, he would have been left far behind.

Today, he was able to become the vanguard.

Xue Rengui called to stop the army, gathered together, and everyone began to gather towards Xue Rengui.

"Today is the first training session. I don't want to scold my mother at first, but I really can't do without scolding."

"Keep your eyes wide open and see for yourself, what the hell have you become?"

"Ask yourself, are you still a soldier now? Do you still look like a soldier?"

"I expect you to go to the battlefield? I expect you to crawl like this to kill the enemy?"

"Why did His Majesty choose you to come to the expedition?"

"Have you all fucking forgotten?"

"Because you are among the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the elite among the elites, everyone can fight ten against one. For this, His Majesty has equipped you with the most excellent and advanced artillery and firearms."

"Look at you now, look at you carefully, one by one, if there is an enemy attacking now, if you don't have guns in your hands, who can you beat?"

"The expeditionary army, which His Majesty placed high hopes on, turned out to be like this?"

"I, Xue Rengui, have committed a crime that is unforgivable. If your Majesty decides to kill me, Xue Rengui, I will have no complaints or regrets, because I did not lead everyone well, and did not manage the soldiers well."

"I'll ask you the fuck, do you feel guilty? With the highest salary of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, the parents and children of the family are all favored by the court."

"And you, you, and you, one day, you can't even hold a gun. Who else can you conquer? Who can you protect?"

"If you die in battle, you will be the heroes of the Tang Dynasty."

"Now, you are all fucking, dying on a woman's belly."

"Shameful? Shameful?"

"........."

The scene was silent, all the soldiers hung their heads together, and no one dared to raise their heads.

"All the generals, lead the soldiers under their command to reflect on themselves after returning home."

"From now on, the army will start training until the end of this cold winter. If you don't want to participate, you can withdraw now, or you can ask your respective generals to withdraw."

"I can tell you clearly here that after quitting, this general will send someone to send you back to Datang."

"However, this general will truthfully inform your family members of everything you have done and report it to the current Holy Majesty."

"At this time tomorrow, I, Xue Rengui, don't want to see anyone retreat."

"The meeting..."

It has to be said that Xue Rengui's strategy of convincing people with reason instead of using force this time has received miraculous results.

Those words awakened the hearts of many soldiers.

If it was a stick, it might just make the soldiers feel heartache, but heartache is always more piercing than heartache.

Li Shimin watched all this with a smile, and became more and more appreciative of Xue Rengui.

Ten days later, all the soldiers were basically back to normal.

Li Shimin looked at the high-spirited and strong soldiers like calves.

On the training ground, shouting and shouting, fierce and vigorous.

The iron bones and blood of my Tang cavalry have returned again.

…………

Yangzhou.

A beautiful, haunting city.

Because of the Grand Canal, Yangzhou has become a north-south transportation hub.

Relying on the benefits of water transportation, Yangzhou became richer than Jiangnan.

Become the entire Datang, the largest city in the south.

When it comes to the degree of wealth, Yangzhou is undoubtedly the richest in the entire Tang Dynasty except for the capital Chang'an.

Even Luoyang City and the City of Abundance have no choice but to bow down.

Later generations often say that there is a heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

At this time, Suhang is just a follower in front of Yangzhou.

As a transportation hub between the north and the south of the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou gathered businessmen from all over the world.

They purchased all kinds of materials wantonly, leaving behind a large amount of gold and silver treasures.

With money, Yangzhou built high-rise buildings and inns, and restaurants stood along the street.

The most famous Huaiyang cuisine became famous all over the world from here and from this time.

Where there are restaurants, how can there be no entertainment.

Immediately afterwards, brothels rose into the sky one after another, even reaching above the canal and Huaihe River.

Since ancient times, there have been many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan women are not only beautiful, but also versatile.

The reputation of Yangzhou brothels has become famous all over the world.

Let Pingkangfang in Chang'an, the capital city, be willing to bow down and sigh that it is not as good.

How can there be no literati in such a place where outstanding people can drink wine and enjoy music.

As a result, literati and inkmen from all over the world came in droves. According to the old Tang books, half of the literati in the world gathered in Huaiyang.

In other words, more than half of the world's literati and inkmen have come to Yangzhou to be chic.

When Li Bai first heard that Meng Haoran was going to Yangzhou, he wrote down all kinds of jealousy and envy. "The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March."

When Du Mu was an official in Yangzhou when he was young, he was romantic every night, nostalgic for being in the brothel, and finally wrote it with a little remorse.

"Once in ten years, the dream of Yangzhou has won the honor of being a brothel."

When Du Mu left Yangzhou, he wrote it down.

"Ping Ping curled up for more than thirteen, and cardamom sprouts. In early February, the spring breeze is ten miles away on Yangzhou Road. It's not as good as rolling up bead curtains."

Anyone who knows the meaning here can understand how much Du Mu is reluctant to part with Yangzhou, and how much he is reluctant to part with the woman in the brothel.

After talking about Du Mu, I have to mention Du Mu's good friend Zhang Hu.

"Ten miles of long streets, the market is connected, and the gods are seen on the Yueming Bridge. Life is only for death in Yangzhou, and Zen Zhishan is good for the cemetery."

After Zhang Hu visited Yangzhou, he felt a deep nostalgia for this place. He hoped that he could die in Yangzhou and be buried in Chanzhi Temple and Shanguang Temple.

Cheng Chumo, although it's not Yangzhou with fireworks in March, he doesn't know these well-known poems that have been passed down through the ages.

However, Cheng Chumo knew that Yangzhou was beautiful.

Regarding the beauty of Yangzhou, what Cheng Chumo heard most before was restaurants and brothels.

Cheng Chumo was also very fascinated, but the capital Chang'an was far away from Yangzhou, so Cheng Chumo was just thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, when I went to Yangzhou for the first time in my life, I would be charged with the heavy responsibility of the South-to-North Water Diversion.

As the chief person in charge of the Yangzhou line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, Cheng Chumo has no time to drink flower wine or visit brothels.

During the five-year period, Cheng Chumo issued a military order.

Although he and His Majesty are brothers of Jinlan who are loyal to each other, Cheng Chumo dare not be sloppy in the face of such big right and wrong.

When he first arrived in Yangzhou, Cheng Chumo devoted himself to the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

The food and lodging are all near the construction site. Although Yangzhou officials have repeatedly invited them warmly, Cheng Chumo shirks them one by one.

There are not only many craftsmen on the Yangzhou line, but also many officials who come here. Cheng Chumo is naturally very clear about how many pairs of eyes are staring at him.

Once he went to spend time and drink, if those officials followed suit, it would be difficult for Cheng Chumo to deal with it.

You can't eat meat yourself, let the people below drink soup.

Then simply, don't eat meat.

It's important to get down to business first.

It was precisely because of Cheng Chumo's example that all officials, big and small, gave up the idea of ​​going to restaurants to be chic and brothels for entertainment.

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project on the Yangzhou Line is progressing smoothly, completely exceeding expectations.

Among them, the greatest credit is the soldiers and the people who came to support.

On this day, Cheng Chumo had just finished his lunch and was about to drink a cup of tea happily. .

Suddenly, a personal guard rushed to report.

"Reporting to Cheng Shangshu, the subordinates found Li Junxian's figure."

Cheng Chumo heard the words, and immediately put down the teacup in his hand.

Looking at the guard, he asked.

"Have you ever looked carefully?"

"Returning to Shangshu, this subordinate used to be a spy of Baiqisi, and he would never be mistaken. It is unquestionable that Li Junxian is correct."

Cheng Chumo nodded and continued to ask.

"Where did you find Li Junxian? What is this person doing?"

"Returning to Shangshu, it was discovered among the people who supported the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. He was pushing sand and soil at that time."

"The subordinate also noticed that he covered half of his face, presumably because he was afraid of being discovered by his subordinates and others."

Cheng Chumo nodded and said.

"Okay, I know about this matter, tell the soldiers who share the food, take care of Li Junxian more, and take some time, I will go and see him."

The guard respectfully saluted and went away.

Cheng Chumo hurriedly wrote a handwritten letter, and Fei Ge sent the letter to Chang'an, the capital city.

Seeing the pigeons soaring, Cheng Chumo looked up to the sky and shook his head.

Your Majesty is really a man of God.

Even the possibility of Li Junxian's appearance was guessed.

Now that Li Junxian has been discovered, Cheng Chumo can only tell the truth.

Tai Chi Palace.

In the imperial study room, Li Gen was staring at the globe in a daze.

Now I don't know where my father, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai led the soldiers.

A few days ago, I received a letter from a flying pigeon on the east coast, and it was Li Tai's handwritten letter. The army to conquer the north had already set off, and the leader was actually the father.

Right now, it is the cold winter season in the Northern Continent, which is not conducive to our army's operations.

The reason why Li Gen was so anxious to win the Northern Continent was firstly for the reward of the system, and secondly for a long-term plan.

The north and south continents are all owned by the Tang Dynasty, so that they can have no worries.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Shangshu sent the letter from Yangzhou Feige."

Li Delu's words brought Li Gen back from his contemplation.

Chumo Feige passing on the letter must be a matter of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

After reading Cheng Chumo's handwriting, the corners of Li Gen's mouth rose and curved.

Li Junxian.

It turned out to be Li Junxian who appeared in Yangzhou.
