Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 248
Soon, Li Changfeng received the order to return to Beijing.

Without any nostalgia, Li Changfeng immediately ordered the Artillery Battalion and the Firearm Battalion, as well as the 3 horses he had brought along with him, to set off.

He rejected the farewell banquet of the generals headed by Nangong Changming, got into the carriage and ordered the army to set off.

His behavior not only did not dissatisfy the generals in southern Xinjiang, but even more admired him.

Looking at the back of Li Changfeng's army going away, Nangong Changming was filled with emotion.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is the one who truly cares about the country and the people, and has no selfish intentions!"

After Li Changfeng came to southern Xinjiang, no one believed him, and now all 10,000+ soldiers worship him. It only took more than a month.

The southern border army is often harassed by the southern barbarian army, and there have been small-scale wars all year round. The tempering of the battlefield makes their combat effectiveness not to be underestimated.

Even if you look at the entire Dagan, they are rare elites.

In these years, the eldest prince, the second prince, and the sixth prince have all tried to win over the southern border army for their own use.

As the general guarding the southern border, Nangong Changming couldn't bear to be disturbed, and he never showed the slightest affection for any prince.

The reason, besides that he didn't want to participate in the fight for the heir apparent, was that none of the princes could convince him.

But Li Changfeng completely convinced him.

He even felt that Li Changfeng was the most suitable candidate to inherit the orthodox position of Dagan. He knew that the generals under his command who had followed him for so many years almost thought the same way.

Li Changfeng has a great opportunity that other princes can't even dream of.

But during this period, Li Changfeng never wooed any general, and even rejected the initiative of many generals.

From Nangong Changming's point of view, it was simply unbelievable.

It is precisely this that makes him respect Li Changfeng even more.

All the generals behind him also spoke.

"It is no exaggeration to say that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince saved the lives of all the soldiers in southern Xinjiang."

"That's right, if it weren't for him, we would have to face the evil beast head-on, how many of us would survive in the end?"

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is calm in times of crisis, wise and brave, and has the air of a general, which really admires me!"

"I think he is the most suitable prince to inherit the throne."

"That's true. It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince doesn't seem to like scheming. He prefers to do business to earn money and do all kinds of weird things."

"I'll like it when he inherits the great rule and becomes the emperor."

"Anyway, I will only serve the Ninth Prince's Royal Highness!"

Hearing that the scale of the generals' discussion was getting bigger and bigger, Nangong Changming turned around and his face darkened.

"A bunch of bastards, is this something you can discuss?"

The generals shut up.

But the thoughts in my heart have not changed at all.

At this time, Li Changfeng was lying in the carriage wrapped in a thick velvet blanket and taking a nap.

On the fourth day of November in the 18th year of Emperor Wu of the Dagan Li Dynasty, as the Marshal of Zhennan, he led an army of more than [-] to Zhennan Pass at [-] noon.

Three wars have been fought in a row, and now it is the eighteenth day of the first month of the 19th year of Emperor Wu of Dagan Li, and the year is over.

Fortunately, he didn't care about that.

Due to the backwardness of productivity and production technology in this world, Chinese New Year is just eating and drinking. Li Changfeng actually has no interest at all.

What he is thinking about now is how far the research institute has reached in the research and manufacture of steam engines. After his soul transmigrated, he was in Baishi City and didn't know the weather in the capital. Will he be able to sow sweet potatoes when he returns?
Of course, the most important thing is the research on nuclear weapons, how to carry out the research and what kind of talents are needed to make a breakthrough, and so on.

The question was always on his mind.

On the 19th of the first lunar month in the 27th year of Emperor Wu of the Dagan Li Dynasty, Li Changfeng led his army to thirty miles outside the capital, and gave orders to Zhang Haihui, who drove him personally, through the window of the car.

"Haihui, let all the armies return to their respective camps when we are about to reach the capital. Let's quietly enter the city without disturbing anyone."

Through the thick cotton curtain, came Zhang Haihui's wry smile: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it won't work."

Li Changfeng suddenly had a bad feeling: "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness, you should come out and see for yourself."

Li Changfeng got up, opened the cotton curtain, stood on the carriage and looked towards the direction of the capital.

Although the first month is almost over, the temperature in Dagan capital is still very low, the cold wind is blowing so hard that people's faces hurt, and the earth is still covered in white.

A mile ahead, the flag was flying, and there were many people standing on the official road, the leading few were Li Changfeng's old acquaintances, and they were walking towards him at a fast pace, which was very obvious in the ice and snow.

At a glance, almost all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were present.

Li Changfeng was stunned.

Thirty miles out of the city to welcome you, do you want to be so exaggerated? !

Suddenly, Gao Dali and Feng Quji were not far away from him.

Li Changfeng smiled helplessly, and could only jump off the carriage to meet him.

Li Chengye and Li Ji were also among the crowd.

They looked at Li Changfeng with jealousy.

It was not the first time that Li Changfeng had enjoyed such treatment when all the civil and military officials came out of the city to greet him. Among all the princes in Daqian, he was the only one who had enjoyed such treatment.

They can't help being jealous.

However, they still suppressed it and squeezed out the most kind smiles.

The more it is at this time, the more magnanimous it is.

The officials came to Li Changfeng and bowed down.

"Meet His Royal Highness Ninth Prince!"

Li Changfeng didn't put on airs at all, he walked quickly, helped Feng Quji and other veterans up, and then helped Li Chengye up.

"Oh, why are you all here? Why are you making such a big fuss? Get up, get up!"

Li Changfeng greeted everyone enthusiastically, but he didn't help Li Ji or talk to him, treating him as transparent.

Li Chengye glanced at Li Ji calmly, only to see that his smile was stiff, and there was uncontrollable anger hidden deep in his eyes.

Li Chengye was secretly happy.

This is a good thing, and we can continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

In fact, Li Changfeng didn't have any special intentions, he just simply hated Li Ji, and it had nothing to do with the matter of seizing the heir.

He didn't even care about the grievances with these princes anymore, anyway, he always had the upper hand, and he didn't suffer at all.

After seeing the terrifying strength of extraordinary beings and fighting them, his eyes were opened, and so was his heart.

These people in front of him are not qualified to be his opponents at all.

Now his opponents are those extraordinary beings.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Gao Dali read out the imperial decree.

Its content is nothing more than some encouragement and praise, so that he will ride a horse into the city accompanied by civil and military officials, so as to strengthen the prestige of the army.

How can no one know when the general wins and returns?
This is also a means to boost morale and appease the hearts of the people.

In this regard, Li Changfeng, who has always disliked high-profile, was quite helpless.

But with hundreds of civil and military officials here, it is not easy for him to refute Emperor Ganwu's face, so he can only follow the order.
