Chapter 698: The Prince Arrives in Person

Annan's situation was indeed too unexpected, but Li Yuanji didn't want to delay too much time in Annan.

First of all, the stubborn disease must be eliminated as soon as possible, and in addition, it must not affect the normal operation of Annan.

After all, more than 90 percent of the officials will be cleaned up, and even all of them will be cleaned up, so how can it not affect normal work in this case?

Fortunately, the situation in Annan is not good, not Guanzhong, Central Plains and other places, where the economic situation is very bad, so the biggest problem lies in people's hearts.

As long as you can control people's hearts, the problems behind will naturally be easy to say.

As for the control of people's hearts, this time Li Yuanji once again showed his madness.

A special passenger train departed from Chang'an, and the locomotive was moving forward vigorously, billowing black smoke came out of the overhead, and the smell was a little choking, but no one thought there was anything wrong with this.

The train gave them a whole new life, and the train changed everything here.

This is a military train, and in the middle of the military train, there is a special special carriage, which is different from those ordinary special carriages.

This carriage, from the inside to the outside, all the materials that can be used, are the most advanced, including the wheels, the body, all of which are the latest, hardest, and most explosion-resistant new composite steel.

According to experiments, this carriage is enough to withstand the close-range attack of a cluster grenade composed of three grenades, and a cluster grenade with seven grenades cannot break through such a defense at all.

The rifle could not penetrate the carriage of the train from a distance of forty meters, and the only place where it could be broken through was the window, where it was only glass, no bullets, and a hammer would be goodbye.

Datang did not develop explosion-proof glass, but in order to solve this problem, an explosion-proof roller shutter was installed in the interior of the carriage, that is, above the glass.

The blast shutter can resist the fragments of a grenade explosion, but it can't resist the attack of a rifle bullet at close range, but it doesn't matter, after the bulletproof roller shutter is installed, there will be soldiers who directly carry the blastproof steel plate to fix it to the car window and seal it.

And the most terrifying thing about this carriage is not this, in the positive second window, and the third-to-last window, where a total of four machine guns are set up on either side of the window.

That's right, there is a machine-gun position, and this train is not a single train, according to the regulations, once this train goes out, it is a special train.

Although the front and rear carriages are inconspicuous, they are actually special, this is a mobile arsenal, a mobile explosives bag, a mobile fire point.

The whole train has a total of thirteen carriages, including the front and coal and water carriages, a total of fifteen carriages, which is two fewer than ordinary trains.

In the thirteen passenger carriages, except for one special special carriage, there are a total of 72 machine guns, 24 light mortars, and 48 rocket launchers in the remaining 12 carriages.

Because it is a special train, there is a special ammunition depot on the car, and the ammunition carried is completely sufficient for these equipment.

And this is just heavy firepower, if you add a thousand soldiers, excluding the soldiers who control machine guns and mortars, etc., there are at least 800 rifles on this special train.

In the current environment, unless it is looking for death, absolutely no one dares to touch this train.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the special carriage is somewhat silent.

The young man in the main seat was a little nervous, and the three ministers opposite him didn't seem to care about this, as if they had expected this situation for a long time.

Although he was very strong and perfect in front of Li Yuanji, Li Chengguang still couldn't avoid being nervous.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much, this trip to Annan is not a big problem, Your Highness only needs to do what you should do, and the rest, the ministers will share your worries for Your Highness." Li Daozong sighed secretly and opened his mouth to enlighten his cousin.

He felt that Li Yuanji was a little foolish, and asked a twelve-year-old child to go to Annan to deal with this matter, although he was the crown prince, although it was not necessarily for the prince to deal with it himself, but in his opinion, it was still too fast.

At least after the prince is seventeen or eighteen, he will not be able to deal with this kind of thing alone.

It can be seen that the current Li Chengguang is under a lot of pressure, and Li Daozong is a little worried, will this huge pressure crush him?

"Uncle Huang, tell Gu about the situation in Annan again......" Li Chengguang was still frowning.

There is tension, but it is more important to do this well.

Before leaving, his father told him that the purpose of this trip was to see more, listen more, and express opinions appropriately, but more to see how other ministers handled things.

For this reason, Li Yuanji specially sent Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng, two cabinet ministers.

The next treatment of Annan is still Li Daozong in charge of the main force, Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou are responsible for making suggestions, Li Chengguang, if there is any good advice, you can also say, if there is no good advice, it is also rewarding to be a mascot.

In addition to the three ministers who will operate with Li Chengguang as the center, they are also accompanied by a thousand forbidden army guards, which are Li Chengguang's personal guards.

Of course, going to a place like Annan, with only a thousand guards by his side, Li Yuanji would not be at ease.

The garrison and the Nineteenth Army were busy with their own affairs, and they couldn't spare more energy for a while.

Therefore, with a wave of Li Yuanji's hand, the 11th Division of the Third Army had already departed on a special train the day before yesterday, and they would arrive in Haizhou two days before Li Chengguang, and directly board the ship and set off for Annam, and only need to leave one regiment of troops in Haizhou.

This regiment will set off with Li Chengguang, so that the strength of Li Chengguang's side will reach about 5,000 people, and the security will be greatly improved.

The 22nd Division of the 13th Army stationed in Shu went directly to Annan by land, and the 18th Division of the 17th Army stationed in Lingnan also entered Annan directly by land.

With the arrival of Li Chengguang, Annan increased the strength of three divisions, some of which were used to protect Li Chengguang and some to make up for the lack of strength of the 19th Army.

In order to throw a heavy punch, there must be enough troops to ensure that while they are swinging their fists, no one rushes up with a knife to fight them.

Of course, the Eighth Army stationed in Yangzhou has all entered a state of combat readiness, leaving only one division of the whole army to defend it, and the remaining four divisions are all going to the dock to stand by, as long as the situation from the front line, no matter what the situation in Annan is, the Eighth Army will all go to Annan without hesitation or without any doubts.
