Chapter 1360: Var Nantang
The girl born to Du Qinniang, because she couldn't see the light, was given a big name by Li Zhongyi, called Li Qingxi.
Qing, the homonym is Qin, and the celebration is also Xiqin!
Du Qinniang's milk name for the child is Qing Niangzi, which means that the child is festively descending into the world!
Following Du Qinniang's steps, Li Cuixuan successfully gave birth to a son, and within a few days, Li Qiniang also gave birth to a son, and then Ye Xiaolan gave birth to another daughter.
Li Dahe, who was sick in bed, gave the children their names. Among them, Li Cuixuan's son is called Li Jisheng, nicknamed Brother Zhang. Li Qiniang's son is called Li Jiqing, nicknamed Brother Hua. Ye Xiaolan's daughter is called Li Yijia, a young lady.
Until now, Li Zhongyi finally had six sons and four daughters, and the people of the old Li family gradually showed a momentum of prosperity.
After the ministers knew that the imperial system was flourishing, they all went to the chapter to congratulate, among which Li Qiong's chapter was written with emotion, which made people feel like a great Confucian in the world.
In fact, how much ink is in Li Qiong's stomach, Li Zhongyi knows better than anyone else. Li Qiong's piece must have been ghostwritten by someone else, but Li Zhongyi didn't bother to ask, who wrote it?
Fold from Ruan's recital, but it is the same flat and straightforward as in the past, without the appearance of a fancy splendid article.
However, with the birth of Li Qiniang, Prime Minister Li Qiong's prestige is better than in the past, so why not two?
Among the women in the palace, Li Qiniang has always been favored, and now she has added a little prince to her knees, and the ministers are privately speculating whether Li Jiqing, who is born by Li Qiniang, is it possible to be made the prince?
It's just that Li Zhongyi once issued a clear edict, strictly prohibiting the ministers from discussing the establishment of the prince in vain, and clarified the system of secret establishment of reserves.
Therefore, the ministers only dared to figure out Li Zhongyi's thoughts in private, and no one dared to touch Li Zhongyi's moldy head in the limelight in front of them.
In addition, Li Zhonghao's marriage has also been decided, and the woman is the daughter of Gao Yanghua, a doctor of Guozijian Taixue, Gao.
Because Li Dahe was anxious to see Li Zhonghao get married, Li Zhongyi entrusted Wang Dun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to be the big matchmaker, and he was scheduled to get married on the auspicious day of the zodiac a month and a half later.
According to the general wedding custom, it takes at least three months to prepare from the date of engagement to the marriage. The reason why it will be shortened to one and a half months is mainly due to Li Dahe's condition, and I am afraid that it will not be delayed for too long.
At the moment when Li Zhongyi was dealing with many personal matters, the transport fleet of the Logistics Department continuously transported war materials by sea to Chuzhou, which was across the river from Jiangning Mansion, the western capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Jiangning Mansion was originally Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, after Chai Rong took the 14th military state of Jianghuai, the central lord Li was forced by the strength of the Zhou army, so he changed the capital to Hongzhou.
According to the battle plan of the General Staff Division, Yang Lie was to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to gather on the front line of Jianghuai to contain the 80,000 Southern Tang Naval Division in Lin Renzhao's hands.
Li Zhongyi himself led 80,000 elite soldiers and horses to attack Wuyue's capital Hangzhou by sea, and then attacked the main force of the Southern Tang Dynasty with Yang Lie.
After Yang Lie led his army to Chuzhou, he conducted several large-scale military exercises, forcing Lin Renzhao to gather troops in Jiangning Mansion, the western capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to confront the army of the Qiang Han Dynasty.
Husband war, courage also. One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion!
Yang Lie led his troops to Chuzhou, creating great panic for the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
However, Yang Lie only engaged in military exercises, but did not launch a serious offensive, which made the main force of the Southern Tang Dynasty always in a state of tension.
Lin Renzhao knew that Yang Lie's actions must be deceitful, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all.
After all, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree.
Lin Renzhao knew very well in his heart that Yang Lie was the number one general under Li Zhongyi, just like Bai Qi of the Qin State back then, and he had not tasted defeat so far!
In the middle of the night, Li Zhongyi, wearing soft armor, rode on the back of the "little blood killing", surrounded by the soldiers of the Guards, and galloped from the horse road in Kaifeng City to the bank of the Yellow River.
On the wharf on the bank of the Yellow River, the lights are bright, shining as bright as day.
Under the watchful eye of the gendarmes, tens of thousands of troops were lining up in a neat queue and quietly boarding the ships one after another.
Li Zhongyi was stationed on a high place, silently watching, and the soldiers lined up to board the ship one after another.
Although the whole wharf was crowded, only the sound of horses' hooves hitting the stone slabs could be heard, and there was no sound of ear-to-ear exchange.
The military regulations of the Qiang Han Dynasty were strict, rare in ancient times, and those who exchanged heads and ears in the process of parading would have to be at least 30 rods.
Thirty canes are beaten hard, and if you don't die, you have to take off several layers of skin, so no one dares to defy the law.
"Your Majesty, will you drink saliva?" Gao Qiang handed the water bladder to Li Zhongyi's hand.
Li Zhongyi took the water bladder, took two sips, and asked Gao Qiang: "This time you sent troops to fight against the Southern Tang Dynasty, you kid didn't have the idea of making military merits?" ”
Gao Qiang was thinking about how to talk to Li Zhongyi, he wanted to go to the front-line troops. Unexpectedly, Li Zhongyi would take the initiative to pass over the conversation.
"Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to put down your ministers and go to the fighting army, your ministers will definitely come back with a great military feat." Gao Qiang's desire to participate in the war is simply beyond words.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, not only took Gao Qiang's words, but threw the water bladder into his arms.
The charm of body language is that you don't need to say a word, but others can understand it.
Gao Qiang knew at a glance that Li Zhongyi had no idea of letting him go for the time being, so he had to put the water bladder into his saddle pocket in frustration.
Zhang Sanzheng actually wanted to make military merits, but he also knew in his heart that since he had not been by Li Zhongyi's side for three years, the possibility of sending him to the front-line combat troops was very small!
When the commander of the sailor Zhao Laoyi heard that Li Zhongyi was coming, he hurriedly ran over to greet him, Li Zhongyi waved his hand and said, "Laoyi, don't come to these virtual things between us." ”
Zhao Laoqi accompanied the smiling face and said: "Your Majesty, the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers should not be wasted. "Beat your chest and salute in a proper manner, and you don't dare to be sloppy at all.
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that as he stayed in power, his prestige in the army also grew. The generals and colonels in the army are becoming more and more afraid to make a mistake in front of Li Zhongyi.
"Boss, are you all ready?" Li Zhongyi is very concerned about the construction of the water division, and as long as he has the opportunity, he will break the casserole and ask to the end.
Zhao Laoqi was mentally prepared, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, the forward warship has already loaded the soldiers and set sail eastward. ”
Zhao Laoqi belongs to the kind of honest person who is not good at rhetoric, but he is especially good at doing practical things, since he said that he is ready, Li Zhongyi is also relieved.
"Hehe, my husband is doing things, I don't worry!" Li Zhongyi's understatement made Zhao Laoyi's eyes moisten.
Fortunately, it was under the cover of night, and no one saw it, otherwise, Zhao Laoqi himself would be a little embarrassed.
After several years of continuous repair, the military wharf on the bank of the Yellow River outside Kaifeng has been built on a large scale, and the wharf area can accommodate more than a dozen large ships at the same time.
Due to the wide river, after a large sea ship docks, it can also dock eight large sea ships in parallel through the connection of a gangplank.
In this way, the efficiency of the army with war horses on board the ship has been greatly improved.
Today's Li Jiajun, that is, the forbidden army of the imperial court, has long adapted to the combat mode of boarding the ship. In the early days, seasickness, vomiting, and inability to eat were common, but now there are many fewer of them.
After the Northern Expedition of the army, as soon as he returned to Kaifeng, Li Zhongyi issued a military order that the whole army should learn to swim.
The so-called southern ships and northern horses, the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty are all good at boating and swimming, relatively speaking, Li Jiajun is much weaker than the soldiers and horses of the Southern Tang Dynasty in terms of water affairs.
The main reason why the whole army is required to learn to swim is that whether it is the Southern Tang Dynasty or Wu Yue, they all come from areas with dense water networks in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Fighting in an area with a dense water network, if the soldiers have no water at all, they are all landlubbers, and it is easy to lose their fighters.
To be honest, the forbidden army of the imperial court is indeed not easy. They have to learn the art of arching horses, but also overcome their fear of water and master the simple technique of water drilling.
To paraphrase modern words, this should be a good soldier and a good cadre with multiple skills!
After dawn, Li Zhongyi, who had been on the shore of the dock all night, boarded his special handsome ship.
This time he sent troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhongyi only brought Zhu Niang and Han Xianglan with him. As for Ye Xiaolan, Li Cuixuan and Li Qiniang, because they have just given birth, it is definitely impossible to take them with them.
After Li Zhongyi made up for his sleep, he sent someone to take the accompanying general Ma Guangda to the handsome ship.
This time he sent troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Liao Shanhe was sent to the Daimyo's Mansion in the north to serve as the chief of the Hebei Provincial Marching Army, sitting in the Daimyo's Mansion.
Ma Guangda followed Li Zhongyi's personal expedition team, and after the landing, the heavy responsibility of commanding the infantry to attack Hangzhou would definitely fall on his shoulders.
Li Zhongyi's method of cultivating military generals was mainly to fully delegate power and allow them to command operations on their own.
To put it bluntly, in a greenhouse, it is impossible to train famous generals who can fight well only by relying on military exercises.
Therefore, last time Li Zhongyi took Liao Shanhe on the expedition, this time he was replaced by Ma Guangda.
Roughly similar to Liao Shanhe, Ma Guangda is also a senior general from the forbidden army. At the beginning, when Li Zhongyi was appointed as the capital supervisor of the Broken Army, Liu Heyang, Liao Shanhe and Ma Guangda, three command-level officers, moved closer to Li Zhongyi one after another, and gradually grew into the general of Li Jiajun.
Originally, Liu Heyang was the general manager of Yangzhou Dao. It's just that it is unfortunate that Liu Heyang suffered from malaria and his life was in danger, not to mention leading the troops to fight.
"Yaoming, what are the chances of our army winning this attack on Wuyue and Southern Tang?" Li Zhongyi asked Ma Guangda.
Ma Guangda clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, you are ten percent sure." After all, as long as our army lands from Hangzhou, no matter how tough Lin Renzhao is, he can only endure the pain of being attacked from both sides, and he will definitely be defeated! ”
