Chapter 798: A Letter from Far Away

After a while, Leng Jing ran in: "Dad, you're looking for me!" ”

There were some mud spots on his clothes, so he should have gone out to play with his brother.

Leng Feng pointed to his bedside1 and said, "Sit here, I have something to tell you." ”

Leng Jing sat down obediently, and before he came in, his mother told him that his father's voice was very solemn, and he should be talking about something very important.

He knew that his father would only give him some simple things to exercise him in the affairs of the family, and this time his voice was solemn, which should be a very important thing.

Leng Feng thought for a long time before organizing the wording: "You are seventeen years old this year, normally at your age, you should start a family." But your father, I'm not going to train you to be the patriarch of the next generation like other families. Our sons of the Leng family, as long as they can do what they want to do and be happy. If you have a child in the future, don't push him too much. ”

Leng Jing nodded, his childhood was carefree, at least, he didn't have to be ordered by Da Ru'er, blamed everywhere by his retainers, and ruthlessly trained by his father.

After thinking about it again, Leng Feng said: "When you return to Chang'an, you will start to take over the affairs of the family, although I am not there, but with your mother and the old patriarch Li here, you can also handle it." If there's anything you can't solve by yourself, go to your brothers and sisters to find a way..."

All kinds of things, no big or small, Leng Feng said aimlessly there, Leng Jing is here to remember carefully.

After a long time, Leng Jing asked, "Dad, are you going to go on the expedition again?" Or is it the dangerous kind? ”

On weekdays, the people who interact with the military are generally the military, and Leng Jing knows some of the rules of the military very well. Only in the face of a death battle, the commander will explain everything at home and go to the battlefield with the will to die.

Before, my father had never been so verbose, even before he went to Goryeo.

It can be seen that even my father is not optimistic about this war.

Leng Feng shook his head: "It's not certain that I can't fight, maybe, I'll just go to the border to sneak around." ”

If the world's attack on Tang is just a misjudgment under tension, then it is even better, if it really fights, the victory or defeat is really just five or five.

Leng Jing lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, he was already full of confidence: "Dad, you can go to the battlefield with confidence, I will take care of the affairs at home!" ”

When he was very young, he carried the beams of the family. In the past, he was very young and only felt that it was not a human job, but now that he has grown up, it is time for him to really start sharing the pressure of his father.

As the eldest son, this is his unshirkable responsibility.

It was already completely dark outside, so Leng Feng asked Leng Jing to go back to rest.

Now he still feels that he has no appetite and can't eat.

Fortunately, it was okay to drink water, and after drinking a cup of hot water, Leng Feng fell asleep.

The next day, the drunk people woke up one after another, and when they saw each other's pale faces and staggering steps, they couldn't help but mock each other.

Although it has not yet recovered, under the order of the emperor, the large army embarked on the road back to Chang'an.

Although the train lines are almost laid, they are not all connected, and they are not yet open, otherwise it will be much faster than ordinary rushing by train.

On the way, the ministers couldn't help but ask what happened to the military, why did they become lively again after getting drunk?

In the past, everyone has achieved the pinnacle level of human ministers, and Wenchen is better, after all, the work cannot be sloppy, and the generals and brothers all pretend to be unmotivated, eat and wait for death, to reduce the emperor's suspicion.

But after the confession, especially after a drunken scene, the comparison between the generals before and after is like the gap between a drunkard and a warrior.

Even the mix is not stingy with gold, and he gets up very early every day to carry heavy objects to exercise.

Although the ministers tried their best, the generals kept their mouths shut.

The world's attack on the Tang Dynasty is still just a conjecture of the emperor, although the probability is very high, but before it really happens, it will only cause panic if it is announced.

At this stage, what can be done is to let the generals start to mobilize in advance and reduce the time to respond.

At the same time, the Thunderbolt is about to start fighting again.

At the beginning, gunpowder weapons were reserved according to the number of the Tang Army's base three, which was enough to fight a large-scale war. However, if the world's attack on Tang becomes a reality, the gunpowder weapon of base three can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

After returning to Chang'an, the emperor returned to the palace to mobilize the treasury and began to support the large-scale manufacturing of the Thunderbolt Division.

He would rather spend his money in vain, and the gunpowder weapons he made could only be used to eat ashes.

At the same time, Leng Feng also began to adjust the flow of funds in the world.

The north-south railway was completely mothballed, and work was temporarily suspended, and the manpower was gathered to build the east-west railway. After Dengzhou and Chang'an were opened to traffic, the Thunderbolt Division was the first to benefit. Sulfur, one of the raw materials for gunpowder, is most easily obtained in volcanic craters, which are only found in a few places near the sea and on some islands.

Only when the supply of sulfur is sufficient, the lightning division will not make a shortcoming.

Fang Xuanling went to see the emperor, and when he came back, although he said that he was fine, he privately auctioned off his collection of treasures through the auction downstairs in the world, and all the money obtained was smuggled to the palace.

Du Ruhui also asked to see the emperor, and after leaving the palace, he confirmed the news brought out by Fang Xuanling with the ministers, but when he turned around, he also began to shrink the Du family's industry.

As Li Shimin's former right-hand man, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both know the truth that there are no eggs under the nest, and the emperor would rather burn money in vain to be prepared, and they are not far behind.

Not only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, but the military generals who were the first to learn the news are also losing their own family wealth, and even Liu Hongji and Li Ji, who have always been slammering, are not lagging behind.

Not to mention that this is a contribution to the country, the Thunderbolt Division can make enough gunpowder weapons, which is also a help to them.

After all, these gunpowder weapons were to be equipped with them.

The power of gunpowder weapons is well known to all. It can be said that if there is no gunpowder weapon, under the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to deal with it at all, this is not a level contest at all!

Just when all parties were actively preparing for war, a roll of sheepskin was sent from the distant border to the Leng family in Chang'an.

The messenger was Wu Mei's mother and sister, who were entrusted to return to Chang'an from the grassland in order to deliver a letter to Leng Feng.

Parchment, the main writing material of the Turkic people.

Opening the parchment roll, Leng Feng couldn't help but fall silent.

This is a letter, the content of which is comparable to that of a heaven-level thunderbolt.

Rolling up the sheepskin, Leng Feng said to Wu Mei: "Since your mother and sister have come back from the grassland, it is better to settle in Chang'an, after so long, there is no problem for them to come back." ”

Wu Mei nodded, she also knew the news of the world's attack on Tang, if this was the reality, then the Jingbei Province grassland was indeed not safe.
