Capital Datang

That night, Sizi returned to the palace with red and swollen eyes, and immediately locked herself in the bedroom without even eating dinner. At last, the maid in the palace reported the matter to the eldest grandson empress, but the eldest grandson empress who was worried about her daughter came in person Only then did Sizi open the door, and while crying, she told her about Qing He and Gao Yang saying goodbye to her.

In the end, the young girl’s si son twitched her small nose while whimpering and said, “Mother, Brother Ninth has to learn from Father Emperor every day to deal with government affairs. Eldest Brother and Sixth Brother are not in Chang’an, and usually there are only Sister Qinghe and Sister Qinghe. Sister Gao Yang can accompany Si Zi for a while, but now they are leaving, Si Zi is really uncomfortable! Woo~"

Speaking of this, Sizi plunged into the arms of Empress Changsun again and burst into tears, and Empress Zhangsun also fondled her daughter's long hair, although Sizi was almost 16 years old, and in two years it would be too late. It's time to get married, but Sizi has been doted on by her and Li Shimin since she was a child, so Sizi's character is still mostly childish, and her mind is not very mature.

For example, a parting like today may feel sad to ordinary people, but they will recover soon, but for Sizi, it is something that makes her sad for a long time, even if she The mother's personal comfort may not have any effect.

A few days later, Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu, Fang Yiai, Li Yexu and others took their families and left Chang'an together. On the same day, Sizi saw off the two sisters Qinghe and Gaoyang. The three sisters hugged and cried together. Cheng Huailiang's daughter, Mo Qing, also cried while holding the autograph book Sizi gave her, and finally waved goodbye to Sizi.The tears still haven't stopped.Capital Datang 611

For Cheng Huailiang and Qin Huaiyu, who had just grown up in the army, Li Shimin was actually very reluctant.After all, whether it is Cheng Huailiang or Qin Huaiyu, they are the best of the younger generation.It can be said that as long as they have experienced in the army for a few years, they will definitely become the pillars of the new generation of Datang in the future. Therefore, as the emperor, Li Shimin also loves talents, and naturally he is not willing to let them leave Datang.

However, Li Shimin also knows that these young people are not only personal friends of his son Li Yin, but also each of them has a heart that is not willing to be ordinary. The current expansion of Datang to the limit is no longer enough for these ambitious people. Provide young people with a stage to display their talents.And Taiwan is undoubtedly the most suitable for them.

Knowing this, coupled with the reason why Li Yin and Cheng Huailiang have extraordinary family backgrounds, Li Shimin can only let Cheng Huailiang and the others leave.In addition, in the past few years, the military academy has gradually matured in terms of scale and talent training mode, and can provide Datang with a considerable number of military talents every year. Therefore, Cheng Huailiang's departure is actually not a big deal for Datang What a loss.

Cheng Huailiang and the others first rode a carriage through Luoyang to Zhengzhou, then entered the Yellow River, and sailed eastward by boat.Half a month later, I entered the Bohai Sea, and then stopped in Dengzhou for a visit. By the way, I changed to the most popular steam ship, and then headed for Taiwan at a very fast speed.

Early steamships were small in size and consumed water and coal.And it's easy to go wrong, but even so, with Li Yin's support.Still using this kind of steamboat with a lot of "faults" for practical use, it only opened Dengzhou to Samhan and Waguo at the beginning.And the two routes from Dengzhou to Shanghai and Taiwan are mainly used as passenger ships.It is convenient for some passengers who are pressed for time.

It is also in this process of improving while being practical that the performance of steamships has been rapidly improved. The current steamships are not only bigger and faster, but also the failure rate of the ships is also greatly reduced, which makes The steamship has finally ushered in a real spring. Quite a few maritime merchants have upgraded their fleets, eliminated the old sailboats and used steamships.

A few days later, Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu, and Li Yexu sat facing each other on the bow of one of the steam fleets that Cheng Huailiang and the others were on, while their family members stood by the other side of the ship, admiring the scenery on the sea. landscape.Although it is said that the whole family relocated, they are still young, so there are not many family members. In addition, there is a huge space on the boat, so the three families share a boat, so that not only can they drink and chat, but also the family members can walk around each other. Lest the journey be too lonely.

The steamship that Cheng Huailiang and the others took belonged to Yifan Sea Operation, which was the first in the world to use a steamboat for practical sea transportation. It was also one of Li Yin's industries, but he and Yifan jointly held shares. It can be seen from the name of Haiyun.Moreover, after several years of development, Yifan Shipping has become the largest steamship company operating in the sea and the coast of Taiwan. A figure running on a sailing sea.

The current shipping industry has become more and more sophisticated. For example, passenger ships have been divided into luxury and ordinary types. As Cheng Huailiang and the others, they naturally take the luxury type.Take the steamship they were on as an example. The entire ship is made of solid pine wood, and the interior decoration is very luxurious. Just take the deck as an example, it is very clear with paint, and it will be wiped by a special person every hour , was absolutely spotless.

In addition, there is also a kitchen dedicated to serving guests on the ship. The meals prepared by the chef are definitely not worse than those in some big hotels. There are even professional singing and dancing personnel on board, who can provide performances for guests during the boring voyage. After special training, all services are strived to be meticulous and thoughtful. It can be said that taking this kind of boat will never make guests feel any dullness and boredom.

On the deck side, Mr. Qinghe was wearing a gauze skirt and holding a flowered silk umbrella. Beside her and Cheng Huailiang's three children, Qin Huaiyu and Li Yexu's wives and children were enjoying the sea view.Among them, Qinghe and the other women were doing their homework, giggling from time to time, while a group of children ran up and down the deck. The maids who took care of them were worried that these young masters and ladies would fall into the sea, so they could only follow behind. run.

Qinghe's eldest daughter, Mo Qing, is the head of the child. She brought a group of younger brothers and sisters to play a lot of naughty things. She was just carried off the side of the boat by the maid, and then she used a slingshot to hit seabirds, but she didn't know whether she did it on purpose or not. Accidentally, the marbles kept flying towards Cheng Huailiang and the three of them who were chatting, which made her father Cheng Huailiang jump and scold, but unfortunately this girl didn't care at all.

"Huailiang, you and Brother Yi Ai have both been promoted to the rank of captain, and now you leave the army with us pawns, don't you think it's a pity?" Li Yexu took a sip of the juice, and then joked .It's early autumn now, but the sun is still very hot. The silk parasols on their heads block most of the sunlight. Coupled with the iced fruit juice, it feels extremely refreshing after a sip.

"What is a mere school captain? With our abilities and the relationship between Liu Lang and us, are we still worried that he will treat us badly after arriving in Taiwan?" Cheng Huailiang sat down panting after scolding his daughter just now.Compared with a few years ago, Cheng Huailiang now has a big beard, and looks like his father Cheng Yaojin is almost carved out of the same mold.

"Haha, that's true. I heard that kid Jingye is now a general, and he will be a general if he is promoted one step further. We can't be worse than that kid Jingye!" Li Yexu laughed loudly after hearing this.Li Jingye is his own brother-in-law, and the two of them are also the best in the art of war. In the past, whether in the military academy or in the army, Li Yexu wanted to compare Li Jingye. Unfortunately, until Li Jingye went to Taiwan, they did not. Can tell a winner.

"General Lang? Then we can't fall behind dedicated people. No matter what we say, we have to give Liu Lang a general. I have wanted to lead the army independently for a long time!" Cheng Huailiang said after hearing this, as a military general, Who doesn't want to be an independent leader?It's a pity that their previous level was too low, and they had no chance to lead independently.

However, compared to Li Yexu's and Cheng Huailiang's full confidence, Qin Huaiyu, who had never spoken, smiled and said: "Huailiang, Siye, you must not underestimate Jingye now. Show your strengths, first studied in the Naval Academy in Taiwan for a period of time, and then entered the navy to learn the methods of naval warfare from General Lu Qing, and now you can lead a fleet across the sea on your own. It has fallen behind the respected industry!"

Hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, both Cheng Huailiang and Li Yexu's faces darkened, because Qin Huaiyu's words made them realize that they were indeed one step behind Li Jingye.Among other things, they are all generals of the army, and they all know little about naval warfare. Unfortunately, the most powerful thing in Li Yin's hands is the navy. Limited.

"Damn, no, I absolutely can't lose to that guy Jingye. I've decided. When I arrive in Taiwan, I'll go to the Naval Academy to study, and then transfer to the Navy for internship. Even if I'm temporarily overwhelmed by him, I will admit it. Whoever loses in the future Winning is not guaranteed!" Li Yexu is a character who refuses to admit defeat, and now he is even more ruthless, and he must catch up with Li Jingye no matter what.Capital Datang 611

But Cheng Huailiang glanced at Li Yexu with some envy, and finally said helplessly: "You still have ambition, but I'm born a little afraid of water, and now it's okay to take a boat, but if I stay on the boat for a long time Fighting, it’s better to kill me, so I’ll join the army honestly. I heard that Xue Rengui is now a general in charge. I’m sure I’ll be able to reach his level in the future. .”

Xue Rengui was also a student of the military academy at the beginning, and he had a good friendship with Cheng Huailiang and others, but when Li Yin destroyed Baekje, he chose to leave the military academy and join Li Yin's army, and now he has become a general as famous as Huli and Su Dingfang.

Qin Huaiyu also had the same plan as Cheng Huailiang, but he was not afraid of water, but felt that he was nearly thirty years old, and it would be too much for him to transfer to the navy to study, so it was better to stay in the army.But just when Qin Huaiyu was about to tell his plan, Mo Qing and other children on the other side of the deck suddenly cheered loudly, as if they were greeting someone?
