Capital Datang

On the tall King Qi, Li Min stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the dark land in the distance. There was Linyi City, which was under his complete control now, but it was his first time here.Beside him, stood several noble ladies, among them Wu Meiniang stood beside him, and beside Wu Meiniang, stood Wu Meiniang and Princess Jiang Yuanshi.

Li Zhen and Li Yun have been training troops in Linyi for several months. The prairie people are naturally born cavalry, plus Li Zhen and the military cadets who came with him have all learned the method of systematic military training, so in a short time Within a few months, the organized [-] steppe cavalry had been trained and were ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

Regarding this news, Li Yin didn't know whether to be happy or worried after hearing the news. Both Li Zhen and Li Yun were influenced by him to embark on this path. If a piece of land is laid overseas, it will be a good thing for Datang and him. At least they will expand the living space of the Han people, and at the same time they will set an example for the royal family of Datang, so that future princes The grandchildren saw another hope.

But this road is full of unknown dangers, especially for Li Zhen and Li Yun. Maybe they will be killed by an inexplicable disease as soon as they arrive in Tianzhu. Death in battle, etc. For these unknown dangers, everything needs to be faced by Li Zhen and Li Yun by themselves.

Thinking that Li Yun was only in his twenties, and Li Zhen was even less than 20 years old, Li Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried, and even had an urge to stop them, at least let them wait a few more years.But reason told him.Now Li Zhen and Li Yun are ready in all aspects, like a bow with full strings.The momentum has also reached its peak, if he prevents this bow from "shooting" the arrow now.I'm afraid it will only make this arrow lose that indomitable momentum.Capital Datang 509

"Little sister, when you came, I saw that you brought a lot of things in big and small bags. What are they?" Wu Meiniang who was next to her suddenly asked her younger sister Meiniang in a low voice.After their family reunion some time ago, although Wu Meiniang really wanted to be with her mother, elder sister, and younger sister every day, but after all, she had mastered the intelligence system of Prince Qi's Mansion, and there were too many things for her to deal with, so except for the first few days, At other times, he seldom stays with Meiniang.

Although Wu Meiniang is already married to Li Zhen.But the skin is still very thin, after hearing the second sister's question, she blushed and said: "How can there be so many things, they are nothing more than some food for the husband, and some are made by the younger sister. Clothes, I don't know when my husband will go to pick us up?"

As soon as Wu Meiniang's words fell, Yuanshi next to her was also a little sad, but she was older after all.So she comforted Wu Meiniang with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Meiniang, the eighth brother and husband are leading an army of [-] this time, and they have the help of the sixth brother, and this time they are just laying down a place to stay. Surely not What danger!"

Although Yuanshi wanted to comfort Wu Meiniang, she didn't have the slightest confidence in her tone, but Wu Meiniang laughed at this moment: "You two princesses, if you care about it, you will be in chaos. In fact, the battlefield is not as terrible as you think. When your sixth brother was in the country of Wa, the army on the front line made good news, and we stayed in the small town behind. There was a large army protecting us, so there was no danger at all!"

When Wu Meiniang said this, she suddenly raised her head to look at Li Min, then lowered her voice and said to Meiniang and Yuanshi: "I'll tell you another secret, Australia was conceived at that time!"

Hearing Wu Meiniang tell such secret things, Wu Meiniang and Yuan Shi were immediately distracted, they stepped forward to pull Wu Meiniang aside, and started asking questions in chatter.But Li Yin next to him sighed, no matter how noble a woman's status is, their nature is yiyàng, especially when they hear such gossip, they don't even have time to care about their husband's life and death up!

After Linyi was taken over by Li Yin, the grain export trade here became more prosperous, and some grain merchants were no longer satisfied with buying grain from Linyi, but hired local people to grow rice after purchasing land in Linyi. The planting and purchasing of grain are all in their hands, and the cost has been saved several times.

In addition, there are also Han people here in Linyi who come to mine. Although the scale is not as large as that in Luzon, and there are no gold mines like the Pine Plateau, they have found a lot of lead mines, silver mines and copper mines with rich reserves. Among them, with the application of muskets, the demand for lead in Datang and Taiwan has greatly increased. There are many lead mines in Datang, so I am not too worried, but Li Yin has no decent lead mines in his hands. Some were found in Linyi, which made Li Yin pay more attention to Linyi, and also increased the local garrison.

It is also the prosperity of the grain export and mining industry that makes the port of Linyi City even busier, with countless sea ships entering and leaving every day, but now the Linyi port has been controlled by Han officials, and Li Min has also sent many experienced Officials manage the port, and Linyi Port has also been expanded, so the entry and exit of Linyi Port is very orderly now, and there will be no congestion.

Li Yin's King of Qi did not enter the commercial port, but entered the military port next to Linyi Port. There is a navy stationed here, with fifteen large warships, each weighing about [-] tons, equipped with fifty guns. Artillery, and there are also many auxiliary warships, the combat power is very strong, and the whole Nanyang is under the wēixié of this fleet.

After entering the military port, both Wang Kuang and Cui Yu had already stood on the pier to greet them. The two were arrested by Li Min and forced to abandon business and enter politics. Now they are in charge of Linyi's government affairs. On the one hand, they can't get involved, the two of them are the local emperors of Linyi, and their words are much more effective than that puppet Fan Zhen'e.

Seeing Li Yin get off the boat, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu immediately stepped forward to pay a visit. Although the three of them had a good personal relationship, they were all Li Yin's courtiers on such a formal occasion, so etiquette must not be neglected.Then they met with the two princesses and led them to rest in Linyi City.

By the early morning of the next day, the things unloaded from the boat had been loaded into the car, and Li Min, Wu Meiniang and the two princesses boarded the car respectively, and then rushed to a plain in the south of Linyi City, which turned out to be Linyi's A garrison site, but now it is requisitioned by Li Yin, and lent to Li Zhen and Li Yun to train the grassland cavalry.

When Li Yin and the others rushed to this plain, they saw that the dust was flying on the plain, and cavalrymen appeared and disappeared in the dust, as if they were rehearsing some formation, and behind these troops stood a On the high platform, a herald holding a command flag waved the flag and directed the cavalry teams to gallop back and forth.

Now the training of the prairie cavalry is coming to an end, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, but because of this, Li Zhen and Li Yun's affairs are getting more and more busy, so even if they knew in advance that Li Yun and the others were coming, they didn't have time to arrive The pier greeted them, and Li Yin and the others understood this very well.

But even though they didn't go to the pier to greet them, Li Zhen and Li Yun are already waiting for them outside the training ground. When they saw Li Yin get off the car, they immediately stepped forward to support him and said, "Sixth brother has worked hard all the way, but the little brother has waited." It's been a long time!"

Although the two were talking to Li Yin, their eyes couldn't help but drift to the two cars behind. They obviously missed their wives, and now they were just perfunctory Li Yin.When Li Yin saw this situation, he shook off the hands of the two angrily and said: "Okay, the two brothers and sisters have come all the way to see you, don't be left out..."

Before Li Yin finished speaking, Wu Meiniang and Yuan Shi also opened the car doors respectively, and when Li Zhen and Li Yun saw their wife, they immediately shook off Li Yin's arm and went to find themselves, regardless of what Li Yin said. In the end, Li Min was so angry that he secretly scolded these two guys for valuing "sex" over friends.

When Li Zhen and Li Yun first arrived in Linyi, the training tasks were not very heavy, so they also had time to go back to Taiwan to visit their wives, but later the training tasks became more and more heavy, and they wanted to take responsibility for themselves. Establish an image of a prince who shares weal and woe with everyone, so the two of them have not returned to Taiwan for more than two months.Capital Datang 509

As the saying goes, Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, so when Li Zhen and Li Yun met their wives, they naturally had endless things to say.Although Li Yin didn't want to disturb them, they were in the wrong place. They were still at the gate of the barracks, so they had to interrupt the conversation of the two couples.Now Li Zhen and Li Yin felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly let Li Yin into the barracks.

This plain is very close to Linyi City, and Li Min also intends to use this place as a place for training and garrisoning troops, so there are solid barracks here, and various facilities are also very complete.Li Zhen and Li Yun lived in two adjacent courtyards.The two courtyards are all built in a unified manner, with little difference.

For example, there is only one main room inside, and the furnishings in the room are very simple. Except for a bed separated by a screen, the rest is a sand table. In the sand table is a map of Ceylon Island. This is where they arrived in Tianzhu. The first stop is also the first combat goal.

Seeing that the place where my husband lives is so poor, there is not even a bathtub for bathing, and there is only one well in the yard. According to Li Zhen and Li Yun, after training, they fetch a bucket of water from the well and wash themselves That's fine, anyway, the weather here in Linyi is hot, and there is no need for hot water at all.

Li Yin didn't think much about this. If he wanted to start a career, he would have to endure hardships, and this hardship was nothing at all. It's bitter.But Wu Meiniang and Yuanshi started to wipe their tears secretly, always feeling that their husband had been wronged. After all, when they were in Chang'an, they were all well-clothed and well-fed princes. How could they have suffered this kind of suffering?

After visiting the residence of the two, Li Zhen and Li Yun immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet, mainly to welcome Li Yin, and to discuss when to set sail for Tianzhu? (to be continued...)
